In just a few seconds, the famous detective felt as if he had been thrown into a washing machine, the world spinning around him, and he felt dizzy.
At this moment, I can no longer distinguish up, down, left, or right. No matter what I look at, there are at least three or four shadows.
"Ayumi, I know you want to protect Conan, but lying is wrong no matter what."
"No! I'm not lying!"
Even Conan, who was kneeling on the ground, couldn't find any evidence to prove their claims.
Left with no other option, she could only pin her hopes on the two sleeping figures:
"Genta, Mitsuhiko, wake up!"
Conan, who was kneeling on the ground, knew very well that even if their statements were consistent, they would probably just be regarded as a pre-arranged lie.
But at this moment, with his limbs weak, he simply didn't have the strength to stop Ayumi's futile efforts.
Amidst a scream, Genta Mitsuhiko finally awoke from his dream.
Their reactions were all remarkably consistent; they immediately clutched their heads and began begging for mercy.
"Don't hit me! Don't hit me!"
Chapter 174 What does it mean for the villa to stand up?
"I think I had a really scary dream."
When Genta and Mitsuhiko woke up, they were both terrified and trembling.
Of course, the experience in the dream was very vague for them; they only remembered that incredibly terrifying monsters kept appearing behind them and then frantically chasing them.
No matter how they try to escape, they will eventually be caught and killed by these monsters.
"Nightmare?" Yin Kong looked at the two who were clearly terrified, but showed no sympathy whatsoever. "Coming to a place like this for no reason, it would be strange if you didn't have nightmares, right?"
Conan frowned slightly, not because he disagreed with Yin Kong's words.
In fact, he now regrets it deeply, deeply regrets it immensely, wondering why he didn't stand up and firmly oppose the suggestion of exploring the haunted house.
He simply discovered that while Genta and Mitsuhiko's descriptions of nightmares both had strong personal styles, they were surprisingly consistent in many ways.
For example, among the evil spirits chasing them, there appeared a giant spider that could spit silk, an evil spirit that could change color from black to white while holding an umbrella, and a rolling wheel...
Moreover, their characteristics are highly similar.
For example, it might suddenly have red flashes in its eyes, disappear and reappear suddenly, and occasionally it might unleash its dog to bite people...
If it's just a similarity, it's probably just a coincidence. After all, these are very classic ghost and monster characters, so it's normal for them to have some similarities.
However, with so many similarities, it probably can't be explained by mere coincidence, right?
Their descriptions were so similar, it was as if they had actually had the same dream.
But how do you do it? Can you even play online games in your dreams?
And how can you make two people have the same nightmare?
Of course, it's done through a copy.
If Yin Kong could hear Conan's doubts, he might just smile and tell him the answer.
Genta and Mitsuhiko's "nightmares" were naturally his doing.
After clearing the [Twilight Mansion] dungeon, he also unlocked the regular mode and dream mode, which allows him to directly invite the two people in their dreams into the dungeon to play.
It's worth mentioning that, in addition to them, Yin Kong also invited Fischl, who was in a conscious state, Ms. Yoko, and Paimon, who played a terrifying evil spirit.
Needless to say, Fischl and Yoko were both sober and had been warned by Yin Kong beforehand that this was just a game. So after calmly studying their respective skills, they quickly found the knack for playing the role of the survivors.
Having mastered the basic skills of dealing with demons, they naturally had a lot of fun with Paimon.
Paimon immediately focused most of his firepower on Genta and Mitsuhiko.
After all, these two little guys running around like headless flies were really too easy to pass up.
Because it was a dream mode, Genta and Mitsuhiko's memories were extremely blurry after they woke up. They only vaguely remembered that all sorts of terrifying evil spirits were constantly chasing them.
They ran and ran and ran, but all their efforts were in vain.
If they can remember this horror and never run into such dangerous places again, that would be a good thing.
"You two didn't also dream of ghosts, so you mistook the nightmare for reality, did you?"
Not to mention Ayumi, even Conan couldn't help but start to doubt himself after hearing those words.
After all, this explanation seems more reasonable than those amazing magic tricks.
In the silence, the familiar Inspector Megure arrived with the police.
Then came the matter of the mother and son turning themselves in to the police.
As is customary, the police searched the entire villa again.
At Conan's insistence, they also thoroughly inspected the study.
The result is obvious: there is no such thing as a secret room here.
Aside from the mother and child hiding there, there were no other secrets in this villa.
Was I really having a nightmare?
Or is it that ghosts really exist in this world?
After repeatedly checking and confirming that nothing was missing, Conan couldn't help but start to question his own existence.
Of course, he soon lost the energy to think about these things, because Xiao Lan finally arrived at the scene, looking menacing.
"Thank you so much, Mr. Yin Kong. I really don't know what I would have done without you."
Not only Xiaolan, but the other parents of the Junior Detective Club were also notified and rushed over.
After learning the whole story, they all bowed repeatedly to Yin Kong, expressing their deepest gratitude.
In particular, they were terrified when they learned that a murderer was hiding in this "haunted house".
Although the mother and son have chosen to repent and turn themselves in, what if they don't intend to reform but instead plan to kill each other to cover it up? Wouldn't that be—
Naturally, all four members of the Junior Detective League were given a good scolding.
Yin Kong suspected that if Inspector Megure hadn't been there, and it wasn't inappropriate to beat someone up in front of the police, the sounds of banging and cracking would probably have been deafening.
In any case, they should quiet down for a while, right?
The lesson he has learned this time should be profound enough.
After everyone had left, Yin Kong quickly returned, standing once more in front of the villa, a smile appearing on his face as he gazed at the building in the darkness.
Entertainment time is over, it's time to get down to business.
He hadn't forgotten that besides the Junior Detective League, there was also a world boss here.
To Yin Kong's surprise, this world boss did not transform the entire villa into its own domain like the Soul Eater, and it did not even appear once while Yin Kong was playing with the Junior Detective League.
Even though the atmosphere inside the entire villa was as terrifying as a real haunted house, he didn't see a single trace of demons or monsters.
If it weren't for the world boss icon clearly marked on the map, Yin Kong might have thought this was a rare, peaceful place in the world where no demons existed.
But now—
Yin Kong raised his hand, and [Ruoshui] appeared in his hand. He slowly pulled it open and aimed it at a window of the villa.
However, unlike his previous charged arrows, this time Yin Kong was chanting softly as he drew his bow:
"Stars are scattered across the sky, their divine power descends swiftly; the celestial sphere revolves, the sun shines brightly and the moon is radiant."
The Five Saints' Secret Decree, the Eight Sceneries Share the Same Spirit; Imperial Edict and Talisman, Sweep Away All Evil Spirits!
Hurry like a law! "
With each phrase he recited, a golden talisman was drawn and incorporated into the blue arrow.
After the entire incantation was recited, eight golden runes had condensed on the originally azure arrow.
A blue arrow pierced through the window and into the villa.
Immediately, the golden talisman shone brightly, illuminating the interior of the villa—
Finally, the entire villa could no longer maintain its original quietness. Under Yin Kong's slightly surprised gaze, it was pulled up directly amidst a terrifying scream, standing up as if it were a human.
Chapter 175 The Power of Shadow
No wonder Yin Kong couldn't find any demons or monsters in the villa; it turns out he was inside a demon's belly at the time.
Lv.48 [Prisoner] → Lv.54 [Imitator Block].
Looking at the changing ranks and titles on the house, Yin Kong raised an eyebrow slightly:
Did I just unleash the second form of a demon?
If he remembered correctly, this should be the second demon with a second form, besides the [Changing Witch] in his backpack.
The villa, now standing up, covered the window where it had been shot with an arrow, and let out a shrill howl from what appeared to be its eye. At the same time, it lunged towards Yin Kong.
However, it suddenly stopped when its claws were still about twenty meters away from Yin Kong.
More accurately, although it successfully stood up, its legs seemed unable to leave the area of the villa.
Therefore, those claws could only reach a range of thirty or forty meters around the villa at most. Despite their menacing appearance, they couldn't touch Yin Kong, who was fifty meters away.
Is this guy a kind of earthbound spirit?
Looking at the demon that was wildly waving its claws but posing no threat, Yin Kong nodded thoughtfully.
Judging from its strength and speed, this [Imitator Block] should be a very powerful and outstanding one among level 50 demons.
At least, even the "Hundred-Faced Witch" who has unleashed her true form, although at a higher level, would never be a match for it in a head-on battle.
However, this limitation on its range of activity greatly reduces its combat effectiveness.
Even without the blessing of the Ruoshui Bow, Yin Kong could still stand here and slowly grind this monster down, arrow by arrow, right?
As Yin Kong chanted the incantation for the second time and pulled open [Ruoshui], [Imitator Block] instinctively sensed the danger of the reward and immediately opened what appeared to be a mouth, spitting out clumps of black sludge towards him.
It seems that it still has the means to launch long-range attacks.
However, while this silt might be fast enough for ordinary people, its actual speed is still slightly slower than that of a regular bow and arrow.
Even if the area is large, it's a pipe dream to expect Yin Kong to vomit into it.
The second golden arrow pierced through layers of mud and disappeared into the demon's gaping maw—
The damage caused by this arrow was clearly more significant than that of the previous one.
Yin Kong clearly saw that the health bar above [Imitator Block]'s head had disappeared by two-thirds almost instantly.
If all goes well, he only needs one arrow left to easily defeat this level 50+ world boss.
When Yin Kong pulled open [Ruoshui] for the third time, [Imitator Block] shrank back underground amidst an extremely angry roar.
It seems that although this demon has not yet possessed human-like intelligence, it has already developed the instinct to seek advantage and avoid harm.
It understood that staying on the ground would only lead to being passively attacked, so it hid back in the basement of the villa.
"So that's how it is. You used this trick to escape the battle between those two guys."
Yin Kong suddenly realized.
Normally, if he wanted to pursue them, he would either have to demolish the entire villa or rush into the underground.
However, the latter would inevitably fall within the attack range of the demons.
Therefore, he chose the third method—
Whoosh!Whoosh!Whoosh!Whoosh!
Four golden arrows were shot out by Yin Kong in succession, landing in the four corners of the courtyard of the villa, in the east, west, south, and north.
As his final arrow landed, the four arrows resonated in a strange harmony, forming a golden array that enveloped the entire villa.
"Ahhh-"
Just a few seconds later, unable to endure the searing pain any longer, the [Imitator Block] roared and charged out again.
Just as it peeked out, before it could make any further moves, it was pierced through the head by an arrow that Yin Kong had been preparing for. Then, in its unwillingness, it turned into black mist and completely dissipated.
