Chapter 101: Face Collision

A young lady comparable to Sonoko's family?

Conan Edogawa was also very surprised.

There aren't many young ladies in the island nation who want to be comparable to the Suzuki family.

And a young lady of this level actually entered Teitan High School.

Conan Edogawa always felt that there was a certain reason behind this.

But now the clues are still too few, and there is no way to make more judgments.

Kogoro Mouri now noticed the boy beside Ran and Sonoko.

"Could it be that you are also?"

Ren Amamiya shook his head slightly.

"Just an ordinary club member."

"Because I am interested in the purpose of the club, I joined the club; I don't have the family background like Suzuki-san."

"I'm just an ordinary high school student."

Kogoro Mouri nodded slightly; he didn't have so many identity prejudices, after all, his family was also very ordinary.

"Then what is the purpose of your club?"

"It's a club related to occult research."

"Occult?"

Kogoro Mouri naturally knew the meaning of these three words, but what he didn't quite understand was why Ran would participate in the activities of this club.

Is things related to the occult something Ran likes?

No matter how he thought about it, he couldn't put Ran's interests and the occult together.

Besides Kogoro Mouri, Conan Edogawa also felt a bit strange.

Ran likes the occult?

Isn't what she hates most and can't deal with those mysterious things?

Ran Mouri knew that her father would be suspicious.

She put her hands on her hips and glared over unhappily.

"Is it so unbelievable that I like the occult?"

"Dad, do you think I've always been that kind of girl with only muscles?"

"Not necessarily, not necessarily..."

Kogoro Mouri waved his hands repeatedly.

He was just surprised that Ran suddenly became interested in the occult, not that Ran couldn't like the occult because she was afraid of ghosts and monsters.

He was just a little curious.

And which girl full of muscles has such a good figure as his own daughter?

Ran is still in the growth period, and coupled with the effect of that stinky boy's death news, it is inevitable that Ran will have some other interests now.

"Occult or something, you can learn more if you like."

Saying this, Kogoro Mouri didn't prepare to continue asking.

"You continue to participate in club activities."

"Conan, let's go first."

"...Hmm."

Although he didn't want to leave immediately, Conan Edogawa also knew that his face was not welcomed by Ran, and he didn't have the qualifications to stay immediately.

If he wants to contact Ran more, he can only wait for the influence of Shinichi Kudo's death on Ran to decrease.

But once the influence of Shinichi Kudo in Ran's heart decreases, doesn't that mean Ran is starting to forget Shinichi Kudo?

This made Conan Edogawa's mood particularly complex.

He hoped that the influence of Shinichi Kudo on Ran would not diminish at all.

But he also hoped that he could find an opportunity to contact Ran more now.

At least if he contacts Ran, he can know how many suitors Ran has around her, and he can prepare psychologically.

Then try to find a way to disrupt it.

Unfortunately, some things are not under his control.

Especially the problem that Ran cannot accept the news of Shinichi Kudo's death.

Actually, if Conan Edogawa, who was leaving immediately, turned his head, he could see it.

Ran Mouri and Sonoko Suzuki's eyes had been staying on him.

"That guy Kudo still hasn't given up."

"Well, that's that guy after all."

Although Sonoko Suzuki felt that Kudo was actually quite annoying in this regard.

Ran Mouri didn't speak, just shook her head slightly at Shinichi's back.

"Forget it."

"Whether he gives up or not has no meaning to me."

If it were a month ago, perhaps she could accept Shinichi's feelings if she could notice them.

At least she should have been happily waiting for Shinichi's confession to her.

She might even have been more interested in watching Shinichi hesitate and not be able to speak.

Unfortunately, it's not possible now.

Having tasted too much disappointment, she understood Shinichi's greed, as well as the concealment in the name of protection.

Ran Mouri had lost all expectations and longing for this.

Shaking her head, Ran Mouri's shoulders stiffened instantly as she looked up.

A semi-transparent evil spirit appeared clearly in front of her.

The evil spirit possessed sharp fangs, its eyes were pitch black, but in the center, it seemed to be flashing with red, bloody light.

The image on its face was like the state before death, and the skin on the whole face seemed to be torn off at any time.

It radiated the taste of despair and fear as a whole.

"Hmm!!!!"

The suddenly flashing scene made Ran Mouri's pupils shrink, the tears in her eyes accumulated rapidly, and her voice couldn't help but burst out.

But before she could make a fearful sound, Ren Amamiya, who was waiting on the side, had already covered her scream that was about to burst out.

"Calm down, Mao Li."

"This is an evil spirit."

"Hmm..."

Those big eyes were still shedding tears, but the dull eyes slowly recovered the colors they should have had.

Her stiff body began to soften, almost collapsing directly to the ground.

Ren Amamiya slowly let go of the mouth he was blocking.

"..."

But it seemed that the stimulus was too strong all at once, directly causing her consciousness to crash.

Was the stimulus too big?

Ren Amamiya looked at the evil spirit floating in the sky with a headache.

This evil spirit wasn't caught by him, but was the evil spirit's completely free movement trajectory.

As a result, she just accepted the eyes of spirituality and happened to look up and meet the evil spirit.

It can be said that it was all a coincidence.

Actually, Ren Amamiya originally hoped to give Mao Li and Suzuki some buffer opportunities.

If it hadn't been interrupted by Kogoro Mouri just now, Mao Li probably wouldn't have collided with the evil spirit directly, but should have watched the scene of the evil spirit moving in the sky from afar, and then slowly increased the difficulty.

It's no wonder Mao Li couldn't bear it when they collided directly like this.

"Ren, Ren Amamiya..."

Before Mao Li could adjust, she heard Sonoko, who had always been full of energy, now also carrying some fear, and her voice was much lower.

Sonoko Suzuki also saw the appearance of the evil spirit, and the feeling of collision was also quite bad for her.

She only felt her legs go weak.

Her body swayed, and her hands grabbed Ren's clothes tightly, otherwise she would have been unable to control herself and fallen down.
