"You guys are looking for it! He should be at the shrine."
This answer made Conan wonder, "But the waiter said that the shrine is deserted, and he warned us not to let us get close to the shrine, why did he go by himself?"
Compared with Conan's overthinking, Yuantai and the others became angry, "I must know the secret of the shrine, and I want to take the treasure of the shrine alone!"
"Damn it, it's despicable."
"It's not like that kind of person."
Sakura raised her finger to signal them to be quiet, and lowered her voice, "It is my mother who asked the waiter to say that the shrine is deserted to prevent tourists from entering, but it is true that ordinary people are not suitable to enter the shrine. It is my mother's shrine. To enter, you need her With permission, the entire mountain has been bought by my mother, it is a private domain."
Is this the reason?
Not wanting to let people in does explain it.
Conan still can't figure out what Asakura said about the yin and yang of the shrine.
He was not interested in that shrine at first, but after hearing this, his interest came, and his intuition told him that the shrine had secrets.
Sakura smiled and said, "If you can agree to take you there, then it is not impossible to enter the shrine."
"He hasn't told me about his school yet, can you tell me about it?"
Yuantai and the others thought that their good sister was a gentle and beautiful woman. When she asked this question, they naturally scrambled to tell her about good things in school.
Sakura seemed very happy to hear these things.
Conan retreated to Hui Yuanai's side, "This pair of siblings is not normal. Asakusa Hao's older sister seems to care about her younger brother, but Hao never mentions her at school. The relationship with her is obviously not that good."
Haibara mourned, "After all, there is no blood relationship, but they were adopted by the same person, and there is also a few years of age difference. There are obstacles in communication, and the relationship is generally normal."
Conan said, "But I think she listened to Asakura's good things as if she was watching a joke."
Hui Yuanai said lightly, "This is also normal. From the perspective of high school students, what happened to my brother in elementary school is indeed a joke."
The two questions raised were rejected, which made Conan very doubtful which side Haibara Ai was on, "Is your relationship with Asakura very good? I feel that you are speaking for him."
Hui Yuan Ai, "Aren't you also in school? You don't know what's going on in the class? I have nothing to do with him, and I haven't said a few words. I just want to tell you that there is nothing normal or abnormal about the relationship between siblings. Many people’s concerns are not on the lips.”
With a flash of inspiration, Conan guessed the reason for Haibara Ai's "rebellion". She thought of her sister Miyano Akemi, who was also a woman with a very gentle smile.
He coughed twice, and said, "Why don't we go to the shrine together to find Ma Cang, at least understand what he said about being unstable and your soul going to hell."
However, there is only half an hour left before the meal time, so if you want to find Ma Cang, you have to wait until the meal is over.
The dishes at this hotel at night are much different from those at noon, and the taste is much better, which can already be called delicious.
Conan and the others dined in the restaurant with two other groups of people. Among the junior high school students, some were very lively, and they were grabbing dessert after eating, which was very lively.
Conan asked the waiter if the cook had changed, and the waiter said with a smile that Emiya, the summer worker who came to help, was very skilled.
The skills of temporary workers are actually better than regular workers...
Conan complained in his heart, and then saw Yuantai and the others chatting in a whisper, he leaned over to listen, but heard that they wanted to get to know the little girl who looked like a gang member on the other side.
It was a little girl with silver hair and red pupils who looked as cute as a doll in a dress.
Although it is said to be a little girl, she is actually a few years older than Yuantai and the others, but she can barely be regarded as her peers.
If it was just a little girl, or if her parents were taking her, Yuantai and the others would have gone up there long ago.But the people around the little girl really looked a little fierce, so they hesitated a little.
Conan didn't want to waste time, so he took the initiative to talk about going to the shrine to find Asakura after dinner, and immediately attracted their attention. They originally wanted to go to the shrine to explore, and now Conan wants to do the same, that's really great , immediately decided to go later.
Hui Yuanai looked at the people around the little girl thoughtfully.
Conan noticed her abnormality and asked, "Do you know her?"
Hui Yuanai, "I have seen the information of this group of people. These people are barbarians. You can just treat them as a gang. The red-haired man in the middle is named Zhou Fangzun and is called the Red King. It seems that the organization had a campaign against him before." Action, but action failed."
Gang member?Is Red King a nickname?Nickname based on hair color?
When it came to the Black Organization, Conan quickly observed these people.
They are basically young people in their 20s. It can be seen that they have a good relationship. Some of them have fierce faces, but their behavior is not rude, and they are very concerned about the only little girl.
Shouldn't be the bad guy.
This is his preliminary judgment.
When he was trying to see something, he was pulled up by Yuan Tai and the others, "Conan Conan, hurry up."
"Let's go to the shrine! Bring a flashlight."
This is what he said earlier.
However, before he regretted it, Hui Yuan Ai said to him, "Don't worry, these people will stay for a few days, and there will be a chance at that time. But don't be too reckless, you can make the organization's plan fail, they are definitely not an ordinary gang , is likely to be dangerous."
If he is afraid of danger, then he is not Conan.
Conan was dragged outside by Yuantai and the others. After Xiaolan saw it, she shouted, "Don't play outside too late, come back early."
The hotel had a relatively early meal time, and it was only six o'clock after they finished their meal, and the sun outside even carried a little heat.
Yuan Tai ran in front, "I'll take you there!"
Mitsuhiko was a little slower than him, "It's strange, my good sister said that it's at the shrine, but even if it's at the shrine, why doesn't he come back for dinner?"
Ayumi guessed, "Is someone bringing him food? The hotel is not far from the shrine."
Yuan Tai said, "There must be a secret in the shrine, so maybe they ran over to prevent the secret from being discovered by us! We can't let him get ahead!"
Genta's logic has always been a mystery, and Conan doesn't care about his words, but what Mitsuhiko said makes sense.
Why don't you come back for dinner?
Sakura was sent to have dinner with her adoptive mother by the staff, but Hao didn't see it.
It can't be that the adoptive mother wants to be hungry on purpose, okay!
Although the shrine was quite big and was cleaned regularly, it can be inferred from Yuantai's previous experience that there must be no one else there.
Would a normal first grader like to be alone at a shrine without people for long periods of time?
Normally, no, but... thinking that strangers in Asakura's class are not allowed to enter, Conan can't guarantee whether Asakura is just a quirk and likes to be alone.
It didn't take long before the five of them arrived outside the shrine.
This shrine is actually not that big, but it has everything it should have. The buildings are built according to strict standards except for the small ones, and all of them are made of good wood.
The surroundings are quiet, the sun is still on the horizon, the clouds are dyed a dim yellow color, although the sky is still bright, it can be seen that it will darken soon.
"The gap between day and night, that is, at dusk and dawn, Yin Yang Tao says this is the time when humans and ghosts can exist together, and it is called the time of encountering demons."
Noticing that Conan was looking at the sky, Haibara said.
Conan thought, "The Asakura family is the oldest onmyoji family in Japan. Although Yoshi Asakura is not in the Asakura family, he should also receive similar education. At least he will understand this kind of knowledge."
"He said that the shrine is between yin and yang, and both sex and soul are such knowledge."
Hui Yuan asked, "Do you think there are ghosts in this world?"
Conan quickly denied, "Of course not. These things are primitive beliefs that people misunderstood natural phenomena without scientific understanding. I believe in science."
Haibara Ai stared at the sky, "Science is knowledge that we can understand, and there is nothing wrong with summing up things that cannot be understood as theology."
Conan asked, "Have you ever encountered anything that you couldn't understand?"
Hui Yuan mourned, "Have you ever seen a mermaid?"
There are many rumors about mermaids in the world, but they are basically fabricated. Conan has heard many such rumors, "Mermaids like those in fairy tales should not exist. Most sailors regard creatures like dugongs or dolphins as It's a mermaid. Being in such a small place on a boat for a long time makes it easy to get nervous, and the sea is often foggy, and such things happen from time to time."
Conan made a joke, "Have you ever seen a mermaid?"
Hui Yuanai didn't answer, but told a story, "It is said that there was a village girl who accidentally ate mermaid meat and became immortal."
Conan, "This is the story of Eight Hundred Pikhuni, and I've heard it too."
"The idea of the original prototype of APTX4869 also came from this story."
Conan, "!"
"Is there really someone who believes that mermaid meat can make people live forever? No kid in kindergarten will believe such a thing now!"
He couldn't help raising his voice, causing Ayumi to turn around, "What are Conan and Ai talking about?"
Genta and Mitsuhiko also looked over.
Conan laughed and said, "Ai is talking about the story of Eight Hundred Bhikkuni, this kind of legend must be false."
Although APTX4869 is involved, this story is well known and there is nothing that cannot be said.
Mitsuhiko knows this story, "It is said that it originated from a story in Fukui County. A man in a fishing village caught a mermaid. His daughter ate the mermaid's meat and lived to be [-] years old, so it is called Baba. Bhikkhuni, the last [-] bhikkhunis lived too long and didn't want to continue to live, so they went on a hunger strike and killed themselves, as if they were still smiling when they died."
"Oh, mermaid."
"I've heard this story too, it's been played in cartoons."
A voice came from the shrine, "If that woman really went on a hunger strike, she would die, and those things would not happen. Death and life are two boundaries. Once crossed, it is difficult to turn back."
