Conan's Almighty Extraction

Chapter 306 The Sneer of the Cursed Mask (2)

Just when everyone didn't know where to go in, the gate on the right side of the castle opened slowly, and a cute girl in a maid outfit walked out, and said with a smile: "You are very welcome."

"So the entrance is here."

Mori Kogoro suddenly realized that when he was about to lead the crowd, the gate on the left side of the castle opened slowly, and a girl who was exactly the same as the maid just now walked out, and also said with a smile on her face: "Very You are welcome to visit us."

Mori Kogoro turned his eyes back and forth on the two maids, and asked in surprise, "What's going on here?"

The maid outside the gate on the left smiled and said: "Hi, everyone, I am the maid here, Nami Shimokasaho, and I am Minaho's sister. Mr. Mori and the three companions you brought, please enter the door from the east entrance to rest. "

The maid outside the door on the right reminded: "Hi, everyone, I am Shimokasami Naho, the maid here, and I am Honami's younger sister, Mr. Katagiri, Mr. Matsudaira and Ms. Nagara. Please enter from the west side of my side. Go in and rest."

After hearing what the two said, everyone knew that they were twins, no wonder they had exactly the same appearance and temperament.

However, everyone was confused by what the twin maids said, and Mamoru Matsudaira asked with a blank face, "Why do we go in on two sides?"

The maid sister seems to be used to inquiries from guests, and explained skillfully: "Because the interior of this house is divided into two different parts, the east and the west, all guests who the master arranges to stay in the west wing room, wait to enter from the west entrance. In the same way, the same is true for the east wing, which is the usual practice of the castle."

After the maid sister finished speaking, the maid sister immediately added: "In this ancient castle, if you don't follow the conventions, disasters will definitely happen afterwards. As for the reason..."

Speaking of this, the twin maids showed strange smiles on their faces at the same time, and said faintly: "Because this is the mansion where the cursed mask lives."

"Cursed Mask."

"disaster."

The strange words of the maids and sisters, coupled with the ear-piercing crows outside the castle, made the atmosphere of the scene suddenly become delicate.

"Brother Zhenyu" Xiaolan was most afraid of things like ghosts and gods, and subconsciously grabbed Baiyan Zhenyu's arm.

"Xiaolan, it's okay, we're here."

Bai Yanzhenyu was not afraid at all, after patting Xiaolan's shoulder to comfort her, he said: "Uncle, since it is the custom here, let's do as we please."

"Well, what Maha said is right, let's go."

Mori Kogoro was also a courageous person, so he immediately recovered and led Shiraiwa Maha and others to the east entrance.

After Shiraiwa Maha and the others acted, Matsudaira Mori and the others followed suit and walked towards the entrance on the other side.

After everyone entered the hall on the east side, they found that there were many masks of different shapes hanging on the surrounding walls as decorations.

Seeing everyone's puzzled looks, the maid sister explained with a smile: "Teacher Su Fang has always had a hobby of collecting masks."

"A few here, please."

After everyone finished admiring the masks here, the maid sister led everyone up to the second floor, stopped in front of a white door with a strong European style, stretched out her hand, and arranged: "I'm going to get your luggage now, please You are waiting in this hall of masks for the time being."

"Okay, I'll trouble you then."

Shiraiwa Maha and the others responded, and pushed the door to enter the mask hall, only to find that Mamoru Matsudaira and the others who entered from the west entrance also just pushed the door in from the opposite side.

After seeing this scene, Bai Yanzhenyu suddenly realized: "So that's it, it seems that this room is the passage connecting the East Wing and West Wing."

After nodding with Matsudaira Shou and the others, everyone began to visit the mask hall.

The so-called Hall of Masks is the hall where the masks are stored. It is like a small private museum. There are a large number of strange masks of different ages and shapes. It is obvious that the owner here has spent a lot of effort on this.

"It's amazing, you can actually collect so many masks."

Xiaolan curiously admired the collections in the hall, and exclaimed from time to time, while Shiraiwa Maha and Conan, who were not interested in this, wandered casually in the hall.

"Huh? What is this?"

Suddenly, Conan found something similar to a remote control on a display cabinet, and curiously pressed the control button on it.

"Shu~"

Accompanied by a slight mechanical start sound, the red curtains around the hall suddenly opened from the middle to the side, revealing what was hidden behind—a large number of white masks with the same shape.

The shape of these white masks is a bit weird. There are no noses and ears, only empty eyes and mouths. At first glance, it seems that they are laughing strangely at everyone, and one can't help but feel a little chills on the back.

"Why are there so many masks?"

"What the hell are these masks?!"

Just when everyone was in doubt, Su Fang Hongzi, the owner of the castle, and her secretary, Inaba Kazuyo, appeared at the door of the mask hall, and proudly explained: "These are all Xiaobu's masks, and they are my favorite. Collection, how do you feel?"

"Good collection."

"It was an eye-opener."

Although most of the people were not interested in these masks, they still complimented them politely, full of praise for Su Fanghongzi's collection.

Xiaolan looked at these strange white masks, leaned close to Baiyan Maha, and asked in a low voice: "Brother Zhenyu, what is Xiaobu's mask?"

Shiraiwa Maha recalled the knowledge acquired from the skill of [Sculpture], and explained: "Shoble's mask is the two hundred masks completed by the Spanish genius sculptor Shoble Condrez before his death, also known as For the cursed mask."

"Cursed mask?" Xiaolan was startled when she heard this, and couldn't help but exclaim.

"That's right, Schoble is a tragic sculptor. Although he is very talented, he fell into the trap set by his jealous brother. In the end, his status, reputation and property were all robbed. The complete despair of human nature, like being possessed by something, keeps carving these masks."

"Just after he finished carving two masks, he ended his life at home. These masks were scattered around his body, all stained with blood, as if they were sucking his blood."

After hearing Xiaolan's exclamation, Su Fang Hongzi looked over and explained with a smile why they were called "Cursed Masks".
