Chapter 191

~6 min read 1,032 words

Several people tumbled and slid, screaming as they fell down.

The watchtower returned to silence, leaving only a dark hole in the ground, bottomless.

Suddenly a figure appeared on the steps, she looked at the hole and the corners of her mouth curled up.

"Unexpectedly, it was so easy to find the entrance to the underground palace. Onmyoji, could you have imagined that I followed again?"

The sunlight shone on her face, illuminating a pair of gray eyes.

Poushkina took out her tools and carefully climbed down along the wall of the hole.

Yo-ho, they all went in.

Akaso Kaze, who was monitoring with the Eye of Space, had the corners of his mouth curl up slightly.

"Natsumi, it's time for us to set off too."

Akaso Kaze hugged the girl and walked into the castle.

When the secret passage opened, Conan was in the middle.

Therefore, he fell the fastest.

Of course, he was also the first to slide to the end of the slope.

Suddenly feeling his legs hanging in the air, Conan was startled and hurriedly used his two small hands to desperately grab the edge of the slope, barely managing not to fall.

"Fortunately, fortunately I am agile..."

Conan silently gave himself a thumbs up in his heart.

Just as he raised his head, *thwack*, a pair of big feet kicked Conan in the face.

He immediately flew out like a kite with a broken string.

Mouri Kogoro's voice sounded on the slope: "How strange, I stepped on something just now... Huh? Why is it empty below, ah~"

A dumbfounded Conan fell to the ground looking up.

Before he could come to his senses, he heard a whooshing sound in the air.

Then a behemoth fell on top of him, completely covering his body.

Feeling the heavy object on him, Conan felt he couldn't breathe and hurriedly started wailing.

The heavy object Mouri said "Ah", sat up, and looked down; there was a faint light shining down from the slope.

"Uh, is that you, Conan, under me? I said it, I always felt something poking me underneath."

Conan whimpered, his two small hands weakly pushing against the big butt on his face.

Damn it, move away, I'm going to suffocate.

There was a rustling sound all around.

Several people all fell down.

Conan, who finally escaped from under Mouri Kogoro's butt, turned on his watch flashlight and climbed up with a look of resentment.

Then he felt something flowing out of his nose.

Conan reached out to wipe it, and then looked at it under the light, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitch twice.

Damn it!

This is a nosebleed!

He had a nosebleed!

Come to think of it, he had already grabbed the edge of the slope and wouldn't have fallen, but he ended up being kicked in the face by Uncle Mouri and kicked down.

Fine, even if he was kicked down, he accepted it, but this uncle actually smashed directly onto him, alive and well, smashing him until he had a nosebleed.

I'm still a child! Why treat me like this?

Beams of light also lit up nearby.

The secretary and the art dealer actually both brought flashlights, obviously having anticipated the current situation.

The art dealer Inui Shōichi said in surprise: "I really didn't expect that there would be hidden mysteries under this castle. This might be the place where the other Egg of Memory is hidden."

Mouri Kogoro frowned and looked around: "Our top priority now is to get out of here first."

"Hmm? There is a rotten broken rope on the ground, it looks like it has been many years, I think this rope should have been tied to the entrance of this slope for people to climb."

The secretary Sergei shone his flashlight on the ground.

Conan looked up at the slope above: "If we want to leave here, the simplest way should be to climb out the way we came, right?"

Everyone nodded, but no one would climb up now.

The Egg of Memory hasn't been found yet.

The Kosaka family castle.

Accompanied by a soft "creak", the castle gate opened.

Akaso Kaze hugged Kosaka Natsumi and walked into the door.

In front was a spacious hall:

Kosaka Natsumi leaned in Akaso Kaze's arms, introducing while walking into the hall.

"This castle is completely of German noble construction; the hall here is usually used to entertain guests, and occasionally banquets are held, so the space is very large..."

"As for the underground palace, I really don't know anything about it; my grandmother never mentioned it to me."

"As for the mechanisms, in our castle, almost every room has mechanisms."

Akaso Kaze took a look with the Eye of Space.

There were indeed quite a few mechanisms in the castle.

Although most of them were of a prank nature, a considerable portion could kill people.

Presumably, when the castle was built, Kosaka Natsumi's great-grandfather Kiichi was worried that someone would chase after him, so he designed those lethal mechanisms.

"I know where the entrance to the underground palace is, you just follow me."

Akaso Kaze said.

"How does Akaso-san know?" Kosaka Natsumi looked surprised.

Akaso Kaze pursed his lips.

If it were normal times, he would definitely use his Onmyoji ability to explain it.

But facing this girl, he didn't intend to do that.

"Natsumi, actually I was entrusted by your great-grandfather and great-grandmother to save you."

"They entrusted your future entirely to me."

Akaso Kaze gently stroked Kosaka Natsumi's small face and said seriously.

"So that's how it is, no wonder Akaso-san is so good to me."

Kosaka Natsumi looked at Akaso Kaze's face, showing a joyful expression.

She didn't doubt at all that Akaso Kaze was lying to her.

Onmyoji are originally meant to communicate between the yin and yang, isn't it normal to receive commissions from souls?

Kosaka Natsumi stood on tiptoe and took the initiative to wrap her arms around Akaso Kaze's neck.

Fine, she wanted to kiss again.

Girls are just like this, too greedy.

Akaso Kaze lowered his head and satisfied her request.

This little Natsumi is really too easy to fool.
