Chapter 480

Hmm, some things, you have to believe in the supernatural.

Sakurajima Mai, who had come quietly, left quietly.

Waking up from the dreams during this period, she was unknowingly already close to A-Rank.

Her strength could be considered quite impressive in the entire human world, and even her skin was as delicate and fair as porcelain.

But she absolutely didn't want to get involved with such dirty things.

Behind Mouri Kogoro.

The dirty thing Conan pushed up his glasses, a cold light flashing.

It seems to be that big star Sakurajima Mai. Why is her behavior so strange? Could it be that my deduction was wrong?

That's not right. The motive, the method, and the evidence were all so perfect.

Conan fell into deep thought.

"I wonder if that guy will come to join the fun, or if he's fooling around with those little foxes of his?"

Walking down the silent shrine torii gate alone, weaving through the crowd, looking at the city under the twilight.

She suddenly felt a wave of loneliness.

Coming from a single-parent family, she seemed to have never felt the liveliness; to her mother, she was just a tool to prove herself and project her fantasies.

Only in those dreams could she feel that warm atmosphere between family members.

What, dreams can't be taken seriously?

Hmm, if it were just a simple dream, she would dare to eat the ears of that black-bellied guy.

"Speaking of which, Japan seems to have the saying 'Twilight, the time of meeting demons'."

Thinking that a certain dead person hadn't seen her in reality for so long, Sakurajima Mai unconsciously tried to distract herself with some frustration.

In the East, there is mostly a legend.

At twilight, the outline of the world becomes blurred, and the boundary between the present world and the netherworld fades.

Even people without special vision might occasionally see the existence of another world overlapping with reality.

However...

Sakurajima Mai shook her head and smiled, passing by a blonde girl holding a phone and muttering about why there was no signal.

In the current information, there is indeed a so-called deep-layer world, and it is indeed twisted and terrifying.

But it has nothing to do with whether it's twilight or not; it's only possible to see it in special locations like the ruins of Mount Fuji.

Hmm.

For example, those people in the shrine who had Yellow Springs evil spirits on their backs and were almost scared out of their minds...

In any case, this place is already very far from the shrine, so surely...

Sakurajima Mai's expression froze as she looked into the depths of the woods on the side of the path; she heard a series of shrill sounds of crying and laughing...

She even faintly felt a twisted sense of weirdness.

There was some kind of invisible, cold thing spreading out. Although she didn't know much about spirit-descending magic, she wouldn't be mistaken.

Sakurajima Mai's face stiffened.

???

No way.

To be honest, she wasn't even afraid of monsters as big as buildings, but things like evil spirits...

Sakurajima Mai swallowed her saliva and looked at the surrounding crowd, who were completely unaware.

If something were to happen, she was the tallest one here.

Summoning her courage, she took a step toward the dense woods...

"Don't go!!!"

A slender hand grabbed her wrist tightly, and Sakurajima Mai shuddered all over.

Turning her head stiffly, she discovered it was a pretty girl who looked very easy to bully at first glance.

At this moment, her special golden pupils seemed to have seen something, contracting violently.

Her petite body was trembling all over.

"Over there... over there is... that's not something we can handle, we must... must warn..."

"No rush, speak slowly, take a deep breath, take a deep breath."

Sakurajima Mai soothed her with a solemn expression.

This kind of special eyes...

It must be some kind of magic eye with extremely high spirit vision!

She didn't expect to see someone with a magic eye in reality.

Then... her feeling wasn't wrong; in the dense forest not far from this crowd, there really was some kind of terrifying thing.

The girl in front of her was clearly in a trance, her mouth constantly muttering: "Something is surging out... flesh... rotting... writhing... %... %￥%..."

Even if it was just a disjointed description, Sakurajima Mai felt a danger that made her hair stand on end.

"Alright, turn your head! Don't look!"

The girl in front of her seemed to have seen something deep and extremely dangerous, and couldn't hear her voice at all.

Sakurajima Mai decided instantly and turned her head directly: "Calm down, calm down, take a deep breath."

The girl gradually stabilized, fear still lingering in her golden pupils. She took a deep breath before looking at Sakurajima Mai gratefully.

"My name is Yotsuya Miko, I just saw... %￥..."

"*%%... %..."

Yotsuya Miko was stunned.

She actually couldn't say it?

She couldn't help but get anxious.

"We must find a Master from the Master Mutual Aid Association. I heard they summoned Servants. The danger this time is definitely not something the people here can handle. Believe me, my eyes..."

"Magic eyes, right."

Sakurajima Mai interrupted her, looking solemnly at the dark clouds that had filled the sky over the dense forest at some point.

"But unfortunately, the summoning of Servants is at one o'clock in the morning. Neither I nor those Masters have Servants yet."

Yotsuya Miko was suddenly filled with panic.

She naturally recognized who Sakurajima Mai was. As the Sky-Curtain Master this time, and being related to that person, what she said naturally wouldn't be wrong.

But... but the things she saw were really not something humanity could handle.

"Go far away, call this number. That woman is the spokesperson for the Masters—no, she is also a Master. Tell them to hurry up and summon their Servants; there's no time to delay. At the same time, have the person in charge here evacuate the crowd immediately."

"What about you?"

"I'm going to see where that thing came from."

Yotsuya Miko wanted to say something but stopped.

"That's too dangerous."

"Someone has to go."

Sakurajima Mai smiled, took a deep breath, and raised her magic power, carefully walking toward the dense forest where the fog was beginning to roll.

It was clearly still just a sign; she had to take advantage of this time to obtain intelligence.

The next moment.

Golden electric arcs exploded in Sakurajima Mai's eyes, her light purple hair fluttered without wind, and she raised her hand as a magic array unfolded between her fingers.

Terrifying light bloomed, circles of air waves spread out, and the invisible pressure was suffocating.

Then.

A torrent of light like a sharp sword roared out, unstoppable, trampling and shredding the trees along the way, plowing a channel tens of meters long in the dense forest.

No one said that to get intelligence, one must be in danger, right?

Sakurajima Mai looked at the suddenly open forest in front of her and curled her lips.

She wasn't an idiot.

Why take risks when you can solve problems with magic power?

In the dense fog.

On one side of the hideous chasm.
