During dinner, everyone chatted while eating.

Conan really couldn't hold back.

He raised his head and asked Abbot Tianyong: "What exactly is the Mist Tengu?"

Abbot Tianyong lowered his voice and said grimly: "That is an ancient legend. On rainy nights, the Tengu will turn into a mist and sneak into the village. They will use brute force to break the walls and capture people. Then they will fly into the tall trees, hang the bodies on the trees to dry, and then eat them. Those they capture are all young girls with delicate skin and tender flesh--"

Xiaolan's face changed drastically and she hid behind Kogoro Mouri and trembled.

After the abbot Tianyong finished his threats, his expression immediately changed: "Oh, these are all old legends, don't be afraid, little girl~"

Mu Nian lowered his head: "It's not just an ancient legend. Two years ago, an incredible thing happened."

Seeing Kuan Nian trying to stop him, Conan quickly said, "My uncle is the famous Maori Kogoro. You can ask him if you have any questions~"

"Maori Kogoro?"

“That very famous…”

"Detective Maori Kogoro?"

The crowd exclaimed in surprise, and several little monks crawled over to surround Maori Kogoro.

"If you are the famous detective Maori Kogoro..."

"...Then with your intelligence..."

"…Solving that puzzle shouldn't be a problem, right?"

"Detective, here's the thing. Two years ago, there was a young monk..."

Abbot Tianyong's face changed drastically, and he quickly stopped everyone from talking any further. He didn't stop them just now because he hoped to spread this miraculous thing through the guests' mouths and attract more guests, but he didn't want to attract a detective at all!

"Shut up, everyone. Didn't we agree not to bring this up again?"

"But the abbot..."

Tianyong had a gloomy face and interrupted Mu Nian directly: "Okay, dinner is over, you should go back to your room and sleep immediately. Mr. Mao Li, although you are staying in our temple, please leave early in the morning."

After the monks left, Chu Ming suddenly asked, "If I leave early, will the accommodation fee be halved?"

Although he was not prepared to give it to him, Chu Ming would not miss the opportunity to disgust him.

After all, for the person who wants to stab him tonight, every time he can stab him is one less time.

Abbot Tianyong's face turned pale: "Then the adults will be 10,000, and the children will be 8,000. But you must leave early tomorrow morning."

"Don't worry, we will definitely leave early." Chu Ming waved goodbye to the abbot.

As there were not many rooms in the temple, a few young monks placed a few quilts on the floor of the room and let the four of them sleep together.

Before going to bed, Xiaolan looked around and dragged Conan and Mouri Kogoro's bedding to her side.

"Sister Xiaolan, there is no such thing as Tengu. They are all lies. If someone really comes, just use your karate to beat them away!" Conan comforted her with a serious face.

Chu Ming looked at his lonely bed at the edge, and then looked at the beds over there that were sweetly pressed together. He felt a little heartbroken: "Xiao Lan, if you are scared, you can hide under the quilt. It is said that under the quilt is an absolutely safe area."

"Hahaha, you guys are so annoying. You're saying so much. I'm not scared at all! But if you're scared at night, Conan, you can get into my bed~"

After saying that, Xiaolan lay down in the bed and covered her head with the quilt. Then she felt uneasy again, so she reached out her hands to smooth out every corner of her body, and then she curled up in the quilt without moving.

In the middle of the night, Xiaolan suddenly sat up and shook the two people beside her hard to wake them up.

Kogoro Mouri and Conan looked at Chu Ming who was sleeping soundly with envy in their eyes. They could only follow Xiaolan and accompany her to the toilet.

Just as Conan and Maori Kogoro were discussing the topic that there was no such thing as Mist Tengu in the world, two hands were quietly placed on their shoulders.

"Ahhh-"

The mixture of deep male voice and tender childish voice broke the tranquility of the night sky.

Chu Ming took off his mask helplessly and looked at the two people in front of him who were closing their eyes and trying desperately to make noise.

Xiaolan came out in a hurry, and Kuannian appeared out of nowhere.

"what happened?"

Maori Kogoro quickly laughed it off: "Oh, it's okay, it's okay. I'm practicing my voice--"

"Mr. Maori, could it be that..." Kuannian's suspicious eyes swept across the mask in Chu Ming's hand.

"No, no, hurry up, let's go back and rest!"

Kogoro Maori didn't bother to settle the score with Chu Ming and pushed a few people towards the room.

"Chu Ming, you are going too far!"

"That's right, Brother Chu Ming, I couldn't fall asleep because I was scared by you!"

Xiaolan looked at the two people who were mumbling to each other and curled her lips: "What? You two are obviously scared too, but you only know how to talk about me..."

…………

------------------

Early the next morning, Chu Ming got up and packed his things. He looked at the dark circles under the eyes of the other three people, full of innocence.

"Hmm? You didn't sleep well last night~"

Maori Kogoro felt his fist harden: "Who do you think it's because of?"

"(⊙o⊙)...Because of Abbot Tenyong? He told you a horror story that scared you all so much that you couldn't sleep?"

Conan couldn't help it any longer. He raised his head and gritted his teeth and said in a low voice: "Brother Chu Ming, it is important for people to know themselves, but you don't, so you are not a human being, right?"

"Yes, I am a little monster, free and easy, killing people without blinking an eye, eating human flesh without adding salt--" Chu Ming subconsciously interrupted.

"..." Conan shut up helplessly. He could never win an argument with a faceless person.

After Xiaolan packed her things, she came to urge the others: "Have you packed your things? We can leave after breakfast."

Chu Ming nodded, and Xiu Nian came over and opened the door: "Dear guests, breakfast is ready."

After saying that, he yawned, and the yawn seemed to be contagious, one after another. Soon, everyone in the room, except Chu Ming, was yawning violently.

In order to fit in, Chu Ming also opened his mouth and typed awkwardly.

When he arrived at the restaurant, only the host and Kuan Nian, who was supposed to call him for dinner, had not arrived yet.

"Ah——" There was another scream.

Conan suddenly became alert, not caring about his sleepiness at all, and went straight to the place where the sound came from.

When I pushed open the door of the practice house, I saw Kuan Nian sitting on the ground, looking at the beams with a frightened look on his face, his whole body huddled into a ball.

Chu Ming raised his head and looked upwards, and the person hanging on the beam was none other than Abbot Tianyong.

Great, I save on accommodation fees.
