Conan Moslin

Chapter 58: The Yellow Millet Dream (1) - Test

Conan smiled awkwardly: "Do you know the Soragi couple who came to the island twelve years ago?"

"Oh, them." The police officer held an umbrella in one hand and put the other hand behind his back. He walked slowly towards the hotel with square steps, looking up and recalling, "They are a very loving couple. The lady has a very classical and beautiful look. The gentleman seems to be of foreign descent. He has a high nose bridge, but his hair is black."

Why do you remember it so clearly? Conan showed his half-moon eyes.

"They came to Moon Shadow Island that day to travel, but as they were walking, they said they wanted to invest, so they found the village chief at the time."

"At that time, they were preparing to hold a concert by Mr. Keiji Aso, so the village chief, who wanted to attract as much investment as possible, invited them in to enjoy the concert."

"Mrs. Soraki admired Mr. Aso's piano skills very much, so she wanted to visit him after the performance. The village chief even led the way for them personally."

"But on the way, they suddenly had something urgent to do and hurriedly boarded the departing ship. The village chief was unsuccessful in attracting investment."

"That night, a fire broke out in Mr. Keiji Aso's home."

"When the fire started, the passenger ship they were on had just left."

At this point, the police officer smiled and said, "I didn't expect that something like this would happen again twelve years later when their granddaughter came to continue investing."

Conan listened carefully to what happened and felt that something was a bit off.

First, when we were in the village mansion, the police officer said that only the remains of the Aso couple were found at the fire scene.

However, according to previous legends, it was Keiji Aso who killed his wife and daughter.

Is this Schrödinger's daughter?

Conan thought about what Nishimoto had said before, and a guess emerged, but he still needed to confirm it.

When the police officer arrived and asked the lady at the hotel front desk, she said that the food had been delivered back to the room where they were staying.

So Conan followed the police officer up the stairs of the hotel and asked again: "But... Mr. Nishimoto just said that Mrs. Soraki was taken away. Do you know what's going on?"

"Little brother, don't you plan to ask Mrs. Kongmu's granddaughter directly?"

It was Yuko who opened the door.

Conan poked his head into the door and found only a pair of shoes at the entrance.

He asked with some confusion: "Strange, where is Miss Li An?"

Yuko smiled mysteriously.

Behind Conan, the police officer also narrowed his eyes and smiled.

……

At this time, the door of the community center was closed and it was dark.

The rain outside has become much lighter, just a few spots, and it will stop soon.

But the humidity is heavy, and the air is so humid that it would almost soak your clothes if it blew in.

The wind after the rain blew the curtains up and then back up, forming an elegant arc. The corner of Li An's skirt could be vaguely seen at the edge lifted by the wind.

The umbrella from last night was placed by the window, and Mr. Kawashima was still lying miserably on the cold floor.

At this time, it was already night in the illusion.

Kuroba Kurian took a deep breath, exhaled, and leaned against the slightly damp window frame while waiting.

The air was filled with a fresh scent, mixed with the smell of soil and salt after the rain.

There was still some rain on the outside of the window, almost condensed on the surface, but when the window was opened, the water droplets flowed down in a continuous line.

Everything seemed so real.

The results of this test are almost out.

It is possible to imprison a group of people unconsciously in an illusion without anyone noticing.

She didn't need to devote all her energy to it, she just needed to let go and rely on these people's own memories to build their own lives.

Although the "rain" factor is helpful, the overall realism of the illusion is very high, but some details and accuracy need to be strengthened.

Why do I say almost? Because Asai Makoto just discovered something unusual. That abnormality was caused by Yuko.

Yuko took the umbrellas out of the warehouse but did not "clean up" the dust on the ground. When Asai Makoto went in, he found footprints in a dusty place, but there were no signs of umbrellas sliding.

So from Li An's perspective, he is very satisfied.

People who die in the illusion will not die in the real world, so she felt safe and bold enough to let Masashi kill people.

But it is death after all, there can't be no side effects.

The side effect is that people who die in the illusion will have nightmares for a period of time, repeating the experience of death.

It's not important, it's not really life-threatening.

People with strong wills can easily get through it, an example being Teru Mikami.

Although... maybe there will be some conditioned reflexes sometimes...

However, according to Mikami himself, he can still accept it and it will not affect his life.

What’s a little strange is that after the Conan plot began, Li An felt that her fantasy seemed to unfold easier.

I don't know if it's because of Conan.

If that's the case, I really envy Conan's aura as the protagonist.

squeak-

Someone pushed the door open and walked in.

Through the curtains, Kuroba Kurian heard the creaking of the floor, a rustling sound, and then the sound of metal sliding.

The sliding sound stopped halfway and paused, then continued sliding.

The man said nothing, silently preparing for what he was going to do.

Then, the sound of ding-dong-dong piano was heard.

The voice is very soft.

Someone is tuning it up.

When the tuning sound rang out, Kuroba Kurian also heard some heavy footsteps outside the door.

……

"What? You forgot to lock the warehouse yesterday?" Conan was shocked.

Yuko pointed at the police officer and spread her hands, saying, "I was in a hurry to find this police officer after I got the umbrella yesterday, so I forgot."

"If you're in a hurry, you can give her a call and ask what's written on the sheet music."

Conan looked at the nearby community center and frowned.

Why on earth would he call when the distance was so close?

"But I don't recommend you to call." Yuko was not worried at all. She said nonchalantly, "Sister Li An is still there. She thought that the man who hid something under the piano, oh, Mr. Hirata, would definitely come over today, so she waited there in advance."

"You might disturb her if you call her now."

Conan expressed his concern for Li An: "Is Sister Li An okay?"

She doesn't look like someone with high martial arts ability...

"She's not as good as me, but... she's not bad either." Youko was calm.

Not to mention the arrangements made by Sister Li An that she caught a glimpse of before she left, in her illusion, who could hurt her?

"Okay." Conan put his mind at ease for the time being.

……

The person tuning the piano in the piano room is Murasawa Shuichi.

After finishing another round of tuning, Murasawa Shuichi stopped. He needed to relax his ears a little so that he could better perform the next round of tuning.

At the same time, he was also paying attention to the movements behind him.

When he lifted the back cover of the piano, he found several pieces of paper, each with a sentence of English written on it.

It seems like a reminder and also like a warning.

"Do Re Mi Fa So La Xi~"

“Welcome to my magic show!”
