The Magician of Conan's World

The female secretary Nakamura Esato stared at the white night and spoke: “You must think it’s ridiculous, right?” An absurd ghost story actually scared more than 500 families in Iwami Town to the point of not daring to approach the river for ten years. ”

Bai Ye nodded slightly, and answered truthfully: “Indeed, the water ghosts living in the river attack the people who go into the water, how to hear it is nonsense.” But since it causes panic, it must not be so simple, right? ”

“That’s right.” Nakamura Esari replied with an indifferent expression: “Because many people in the town have been attacked by water ghosts, and some people have seen the appearance of water ghosts with their own eyes, earlier there was also a young man from the University of Tokyo who was dragged into the water by the water ghosts and drowned…”

“Miss Nakamura, don’t say it!” The mayor of Hachibei reprimanded, and then smiled at Bai Ye: “Don’t listen to her nonsense, these are all fabricated by the priest to control people’s hearts.” The previous mayors of the town became puppets of the shrine because they believed in the existence of ghosts and gods. I don’t believe this, Mr. White Night, you believe in science as much as I do, right? ”

The floating original sin immediately burst into laughter, “Haha! Laugh at Uncle Ben! He is obviously a magician. ”

Xiao Wei also thought it was funny, and someone actually said to a magician, “We must believe in science!” ”

Of course, Bai Ye would not deny it, and nodded to the mayor, “You are right, science is the primary productive force. ”

……

At noon, the caretaker Aihara prepared the hot pot, and everyone sat around to eat. It is still the kind of low table, everyone else kneels to eat, only Bai Ye is not used to choosing to sit cross-legged.

“Aihara, don’t you eat together?” President Yumi asked when he saw that the administrator did not sit down.

“No, I still have something going on in the kitchen.” After that, Mr. Aihara went back to the kitchen.

The mayor of the town, Hachibei, beckoned Baiye to drink, and said that these mountain treasures on the table were local specialties, and there were absolutely no pesticides. Bai Ye tried it and found that it was indeed much more delicious than what was bought in the market, so he clipped a lot for Xiao Moo.

“Hey, partner, don’t patronize the daughter-in-law to eat, when can Uncle Ben eat?” Original Sin complained on top of Bai Ye’s head, and the gluttonous worm in his stomach had already made a big disturbance in the Heavenly Palace.

Bai Ye completely ignored him, which made Original Sin feel very uncomfortable, so he directly reached out to grab the food from the hot pot. Bai Ye “snapped” on his hand with chopsticks and said, “Get out!” ”

Although original sin exists in the form of a soul, because of the contract, Bai Ye has the privilege of punishing original sin, so this chopstick is firmly knocked on the hand of original sin.

Everyone was stunned by his sudden action, but saw Bai Ye smiled and explained: “There was a fly just now.” ”

The mayor laughed, “So that’s the case, we don’t have much else in Iwami Town, but there are a lot of animals and insects.” In the early years, it also attracted a biology professor to live in seclusion here, but he died ten years ago. ”

“Speaking of which, I was chased by wasps when I was a child.” President Hiromi smiled, “I was still in the sixth grade of elementary school, and I was besieged by wasps on the way home and almost died, but Mr. Aihara, who was in high school, saved me. Since then I have had a mental shadow of wasps, and pesticides are placed in the car and in the house. ”

“What you said about Aihara is…” asked Bai Ye curiously.

“It is the administrator of the villa, in order to thank him for his grace, so I asked him to manage the villa with a high salary.”

Said to manage the villa, in fact, quite gave this villa to the other party, Yumei only returned to his hometown once in a few years, so the villa usually lives alone in Aibara.

The mayor joked, “Living in someone else’s house and taking other people’s money, if only I were the one who saved you back then.” Everyone was amused by his funny.

……

Everyone was eating hot pot when suddenly the telephone rang upstairs, and everyone looked up at the ceiling.

“It seems to be a landline in the president’s office.” The female secretary Nakamura Esari judged that because the top of the hall happened to be the president’s room.

“Faux pas.”

Yumi stood up and was about to answer the phone, but Bai Ye suddenly stopped her, “Wait.” ”

“What’s wrong?” Yumi looked puzzled, is there any problem with answering a phone call at home?

Bai Ye looked up at her, “Do you have a mobile phone?” ”

“Of course, I always carry it with me.”

“Iwami Town, you may be able to come back once a year, right?” Bai Ye asked again.

Yumi nodded slightly, not knowing why Bai Ye asked this sentence.

Listening to her answer, Bai Ye put down his chopsticks and stood up, saying, “I’ll go upstairs with you.” ”

At this time, Xiao Mo also understood that President Yumi only returned to the villa once in several years. Even if someone calls the company phone and can’t find her, they should call her mobile number. But now that the phone actually went directly to the president’s room, which was not used all year round, as if deliberately leading her upstairs, it was no wonder that Bai Ye would be suspicious.

……

Coming to the second floor, Yumi used the key to open the door, and for safety, Bai Ye walked in first, followed by Yumi.

There was no one inside, only the phone rang. Yumi didn’t know what Hakuye was suspicious, and ran over to answer the phone, but Hakuye stopped her, “Let me come.” ”

Bai Ye reached out and picked up the phone, and there was no sound over there.

Suddenly, the door of the president’s room closed automatically, and Bai Ye’s eyes were cold, but he heard Yumi say: “Don’t worry, the door here is automatically locked, normal.” ”

Where did he know that as soon as the words fell, a large swarm of wasps suddenly burst out of the fireplace used for heating in winter, menacingly rushing towards the two, and countless “buzzing” sounds overlapped together like the roar of an engine.

Yumi was stung by wasps as a child, so she left a psychological shadow, when she saw a large group of wasps pounce on her, and suddenly screamed and fled. However, the handle of the door was already full of wasps, and trying to open the door was completely foolish, so she could only run back and rush towards the balcony.

When Bai Ye came, he had already seen the cliff behind the villa, and if Yumi ran to the balcony at this time, he would probably accidentally fall, so he reached out and grabbed her clothes and shouted: “Squat!” ”

Wasps flew in the president’s room, and Haku took off her coat and put it over Yumi’s head to prevent her from being stung, while he grabbed the insecticide and lighter on his desk and pressed it against the swarm.

The insecticide was ignited by a lighter and turned into a flame spray, which White Night held and strafed into the air. The wasps fell like fighters hit by shells, and after a while they fell to the ground, some still smoking.

“It’s okay already.” White night reminded, Yumi stood up tremblingly, looking at the wasp corpse on the ground and couldn’t help but be afraid.

“Why are there wasps in the president’s room?”

Bai Ye replied, “Because someone wants to kill you.” ”

Several people downstairs also ran over when they heard the movement and knocked on the door outside, “What happened?” Mr. White Night, I just heard the president’s voice. “It was the female secretary Esuri Nakamura who spoke.

“You guys open the door from the outside.” Bai Ye threw the key to the president’s room through the crack in the door, because the handle inside was stained with honey and it was difficult to open the door. _
