Conan: I Am Not a Snake Spirit

"What Ayumi said is not completely wrong," Chi Feichi explained, "There was a period of time, after wars and disasters, many people in Japan were too poor to afford food, and adults would take children to the mountains Kill them to reduce the number of people who eat. There used to be a saying in Japan that seven-year-old children are the sons of gods. Killing seven-year-old children belonging to the world of gods can achieve the purpose of offering sacrifices. Some children were taken into the forest Killed, and when the child's memorial day comes, the mother who goes to worship the dead child will always feel scared when walking on the road, so she will sing this nursery rhyme, on the one hand to strengthen herself, and on the other hand to appease the child's ghost."

He is really not the kind of person who only reminds Conan and Haibara of bad memories.

He will make everyone unable to recall good memories together, or leave not so good memories together.

Haibara Ai:"……"

At the beginning, the mountain village police officer and Brother Feichi did mention that 'the princess of the forest sacrifices children in the forest' or something.

Although I know that this is not the case with her, but... I feel that the whole person is not well.

Did the village police officer think she was just a child who was taken into the forest and murdered?

The idea was just plain weird.

She used to think that the forest princess was a special mountain spirit. Although Japan prefers to enshrine mountain spirits and ghosts as gods, she did not expect that the forest princess belonged to the circle of ghosts who were killed by tragedy.

And when she thought of the mountain village police officer bringing incense to her every time, she felt even more wrong.

It’s okay for the mountain village police officer to be superstitious. As a policeman, when encountering such a thing as ‘a little girl was taken into the forest and murdered’, he didn’t want to catch the murderer, but he still wanted to use her and think that she would be able to solve the case?

It was another day when people in Gunma County were suspected to be living in dire straits.

The smile on Ayumi's face froze when she was recognized, "So, so the god in this nursery rhyme..."

"It refers to the child's dead soul, the path of the gods, refers to the road the child walked before death, the road where the dead soul wandered." Chi Feichi paused, "The legend of the forest princess is similar to that legend, except that it was brought into the The one in the forest is the little girl."

"Then, kill, kill?"

Yuan Tai turned to look at Hui Yuanai with a frightened expression.

"It's scary..." Ayumi felt a chill behind her.

They are now in the forest of Gunma Prefecture.

Mitsuhiko also looked at Hui Yuan Ai with strange eyes, "Hui, Hui Yuan must not be like that."

Hui Yuan Ai was stared at by the three children uncomfortably, and said indifferently, "If you say so, the one who took me into the forest to sacrifice is Brother Chi."

Chi Feichi nodded, "It's also in line with the legend that relatives will bring them to offer sacrifices."

Conan: "..."

Haha, the siblings really hit it off.

Seeing the three children embracing each other with pale faces, Huiyuan said speechlessly, "But it's a pity, Brother Feichi just took me for a walk in the forest that night."

"Really? I heard that some people can't realize that they are dead after death, and they will forget the memories before and after their death," Conan became playful, and turned his head to stare at Hui Yuanai, with a gloomy look on his face. The voice said, "Are you sure that it was you who followed Brother Chi out of the forest that day, not your dead soul?"

"ah--!"

The three children huddled together, closing their eyes and screaming.

Haibara Ai was furious at what Conan said, glanced at Conan, and replied in the same low tone, "Really? After we walked out of the forest that day, we met you hiding in the car. Are you sure you were not killed by me that night? Do you want to take the path of the gods together?"

"Ke, Conan..." Ayumi almost burst into tears, she looked at Conan weakly, with the uneasiness of "there are ghosts all around, you are all ghosts" in her eyes.

"No...we were just joking," Conan quickly scratched his head and smiled, "Those are just legends, we all have vital signs, how could we be dead, and it's impossible for Brother Chi to do such a thing."

"That's right," Ayumi breathed a sigh of relief, her face still pale, "but the legend behind this nursery rhyme is really scary."

"Yeah," said Guang Yanhan, "it's really cruel to think about killing children in the forest by relatives."

Seeing the darkening forest outside, Yuantai shrank his head back into the car, "This is the forest in Qunma County. Are there many ghosts of children wandering here?"

"Maybe I'll play games with you guys," Chi Feichi suddenly thought of another nursery rhyme, "It's like squatting down in a circle with backs to backs, and when the person pretending to be a ghost walks around, maybe you will find another person or One person is missing..."

"ah--!"

The three children huddled together and screamed again.

Dr. Ali: "..."

Really, it is rare for Feichi to be so active today, but he is more active in scaring the children... The direction of his activity is seriously wrong!

Conan took on the important task of comforting the three children, and finally dispelled the fear in the hearts of the three children. He turned his head to look out of the car window, "By the way, doctor, why haven't you arrived yet? The sun is almost setting."

"The roads in this area are really difficult to recognize. There are many side roads or dead ends that are not on the map." Dr. A Li said helplessly.

Conan Banyueyan, "I wish I had known you wouldn't take any shortcuts. The shortcut seems to be a lot farther away."

"The road ahead is too congested," Dr. Ali retorted. "Traffic jams and extreme heat are the enemies of air-cooled engines. Besides, I thought, if it doesn't work, I can use my mobile phone to guide the way."

"But I didn't expect that the signal could not be received in the mountains and forests in this area, right?" Conan said speechlessly.

In the back seat, Mitsuhiko who came back slowly asked, "Why didn't the doctor install the car satellite navigation?"

"Yeah," Ayumi huddled in the back seat, echoing, "If there is satellite navigation, it can tell us how to go with just a 'beep'."

Yuan Tai sighed, "I was scared several times, and I am getting more and more hungry."

"I'm still researching and developing satellite navigation," Dr. A Li said, cheering up, and said with a smile, "It will be amazing when it is completed, it is a good thing with many amazing functions!"

"If it can be done." Hui Yuanai poured cold water on it.

"The Machi Group is also working with Umbrella on car satellite navigation," Chi Feichi said. "The program has been built, and the hardware part is still being adjusted. In addition, the overall debugging is still needed, and it will probably be released later."

When Huiyuan heard this, he couldn't help but smiled, "Doctor, it seems that your progress can't keep up. I heard that other groups that research this type of navigation have announced their progress much faster than the doctor. The doctor still waits to get dressed. Ready made."

Dr. A Li said unwillingly, "I can do some more research, maybe I can develop functions that other people haven't thought of."

In this regard, Chi Feichi has confidence in Dr. A Li.

Dr. A Li is just one person, and sometimes the development progress is not as good as a large team supported by a group or consortium, but when it comes to whimsical ideas and various strange functions, Dr. A Li has a bigger brain.

"Let's talk about that later, compared to this..." Hui Yuanai looked out of the car window, "It's completely dark."

"Doctor, you said to go in the northwest direction, but where is the exact location of the campsite?" Chi Feichi asked.

"I remember the map is... go up the mountain and turn into the trail. After that, just remember to go northwest, and you will be able to reach a village called 'Chuanchang' in the north," Dr. A Li recalled. "After passing the village for about half an hour, You can go to the campground."

"You overdrive." Chi Feichi said expressionlessly.

"Why?!"

In the back seat, the three children got up, knelt on the seat and looked out the rear window.

"But, but, we didn't pass any villages."

"I didn't even see the shadow of the village!"

"Is it the wrong direction?"

"The direction is correct, it is heading northwest. Maybe the doctor took the wrong road at a certain intersection and chose the same road heading northwest, but took another road that can bypass the village," Chi Feichi evaluated the current situation. The approximate location, "After driving for more than an hour, it's time to reach the Guchuan Mountain area."

Conan: "..."

In other words, the doctor went the wrong way, led them around the destination perfectly, and continued to run all the way to the northwest, and ran a long way?

Feeling helpless, Hui Yuanai suggested, "Let Brother Feichi drive the car. Brother Feichi has a strong sense of direction. If we turn back now, we might be able to reach the campsite tonight."

"Ah, good..." Dr. A Li stopped trying to be brave and slowed down the speed of the car.

"Boom!"

There was an abnormal sound from the left front wheel, and the car also began to deflect.

Fortunately, the speed of the car had dropped a lot, so Dr. A Li quickly stopped the car and got out of the car to check the situation.

"This voice..." Mitsuhiko hesitated for a moment, "Could it be a blown tire?"

Chi Feichi also opened the car door and got out of the car with Conan to check the situation, "Doctor, where is the spare tire?"

Dr. A Li scratched his head with an embarrassed smile, "Because the tire was repaired and replaced with a new one, I didn't expect it to blow out, and there are too many camping supplies, so I didn't bring it."

"There will be no cars passing by on this kind of small road. If there is still more than an hour to go to Guchuan Mountain, it will take more than half an hour to turn back and find the campsite." Conan looked at the dark road before and after. , "It seems that we can only deal with it here for one night tonight. Fortunately, we are here for camping, and we have all the tools with us."

"But this forest looks eerie." Ayumi shrank back uneasily.

"Yeah." Sitting in the car, Mitsuhiko looked out at the dark woods outside, "I always think there will be monsters appearing."

"For example, there are often in legends..." Yuan Tai said with a look of horror, "The cannibal mother-in-law!"

Mitsuhiko's face turned pale, "There are also the souls of children who were sacrificed and wandered here..."

"It really does look like it," Hui Yuanai looked out the car window, and when the three children were frightened, he looked at the wooden house not far away in the jungle, "That house over there looks Isn't it very similar to the residence of the mountain demon mother-in-law?"

"Huh? Is there a family nearby?" Dr. A Li turned his head and saw the lights in the house, and heaved a sigh of relief. "Great, then we can go and ask the family to let us stay for one night."

Chi Feichi also looked at the house.

The mother-in-law of the mountain demon, a house in the barren mountains, going to borrow it late at night...

Is it the plot of "The Blade of the Mountain Demon Granny"?

He has been deeply impressed by these recent events.

Originally, I was trying to recall the dream, but I didn't remember the dream very much. I recalled a lot of the original plot, but it may be that the recent events are more interesting.

"Go, go borrow? I don't think so." Ayumi said with a trembling voice.

Yuan Tai busy nodded in agreement, "What should I do if I encounter something scary?"
