Chapter 489

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

Therefore, he fell the fastest.

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

Suddenly feeling his legs dangling in the air, Conan was startled and hurriedly used his two little hands to desperately grab the edge of the ramp, 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 rang out on the ramp: "How strange, I just stepped on something... Huh? Why is it empty below, ah~"

Conan, with a confused face, fell to the ground.

Before he could recover, he heard a whooshing sound from the air.

Then a behemoth crashed onto his body, completely covering him.

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

The heavy object Mouri said "Ah", sat up, looked down, and saw a faint light shining down from the ramp.

"Uh, is that you, Conan, under me? I was just saying, I always felt something poking me underneath."

Conan whimpered, his two little hands weakly pushing at the big butt on his face.

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

There was a sound of rustling 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 put it under the light to see, 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 originally grabbed the ramp and wouldn't have fallen, but he was kicked in the face by Uncle Mouri and kicked down.

Fine, even if he was kicked down, he would accept it, but this uncle actually crashed directly onto him, alive and well, causing him to have a nosebleed.

I'm still just 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.

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 Memory Egg 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 there for many years, I think this rope should have been tied to the entrance of this ramp for people to climb."

Secretary Sergei shone his flashlight on the ground.

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

Everyone nodded, but no one would climb up now.

The Memory Egg hasn't been found yet.

Kosaka family castle.

With a soft "creak", the castle gate opened.

Akaso Kaze hugged Kosaka Natsumi and walked inside.

In front was a wide hall:

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

"This castle is completely constructed in the German aristocratic style; 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, there are mechanisms in almost every room of our castle."

Akaso Kaze glanced with his Void Eye.

There are indeed quite a few mechanisms in the castle.

Although most are for pranks, a considerable portion can kill people.

Presumably, when the castle was built, Kosaka Natsumi's great-grandfather Kiichi was worried about people chasing 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, 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 little face and said solemnly.

"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 yin and yang, isn't it normal to receive entrustments from souls?

Kosaka Natsumi stood on tiptoe and took the initiative to hug Akaso Kaze's neck.

Fine, she wanted to kiss again.

Girls are just like this, too greedy.

Akaso Kaze lowered his head, satisfying her request.

This little Natsumi is really too easy to fool. ===== CHAPTER 491 =====
