Chapter 22: Bandage Monster

Hero Akagi lived up to expectations and used his flexible positioning to create many threatening attacks for Tokyo Spirit in the game. He finally won the game 2:1. This was the 10th consecutive victory for Tokyo Spirit and it will also be the beginning of a legend.

On the court, Rina Yonogi couldn't control herself at all. She cheered loudly as the situation on the court changed. Only when the game was over did she find herself exhausted. For someone who walks no more than 4000 steps a day, today's itinerary was really too challenging for her physical limit.

In the next few days, Rina Yonogi naturally didn't want to go out again, so Kiyomizu and Edogawa Conan went to visit Suzuki Sonoko's villa at her invitation.

"The Yuanzi family's villa is really too remote. There is only a suspension bridge connecting it to the outside world..."

"So the suspension bridge is destroyed!"

"Aunt Lina, how did you know?"

"Isn't this a classic plot in a mystery story? It sounds ominous."

"Yes, I tell you, when Conan and I first got there, we saw a strange man in a black robe, a gloomy sky, and a gloomy villa in the dense woods in front of us. It was really ominous. I should have realized at that time that I shouldn't have listened to Sonoko's invitation to go out for a walk." As Xiaolan spoke, she picked up the teapot on the table and poured herself a glass of water.

She continued, her voice gradually lowered, trying to recreate the atmosphere of the time, "We went out with an umbrella, but suddenly there was thunder halfway. I turned around and saw a long pale face. The light in the woods was not good, and it felt like a ghost was standing next to me. I seemed to be able to feel the cold breath of the ghost. Aunt Lina, why aren't you afraid at all?"

"You all came back safely, so it's definitely not a ghost. Who dressed up as a ghost to scare you?" Even with Conan protecting him, he still scared Xiaolan. This ghost must have died a miserable death...

Xiaolan smiled awkwardly, "Yeah, that's right, the ghost story won't be scary this way. Obviously I haven't gotten to the point yet."

"Is there something more advanced than a ghost?" Yonohiro Rina asked in amazement.

"I ran out in fear, and then I encountered a bandaged man in a black robe holding an axe. He suddenly appeared behind me and wanted to kill me. I was so scared that I sat on the ground and couldn't run away. Fortunately, Sonoko and the others heard my screams and came over."

"Bandage monster? What does it look like?" Rina Yonogi couldn't imagine what the bandage monster should look like.

"He was wrapped in bandages with only two eyes showing. His eyes were fierce. He was wearing a black robe and holding an axe. He looked like a psychopathic murderer. It was really scary."

Yonogi Rina imagined that even if she didn't believe in ghosts, she would encounter an invisible person in a dark forest, holding a weapon, suddenly appearing behind her and trying to chop her. She nodded, "It's really scary. Fortunately, Sonoko and the others came."

"It's so strange, Aunt Lina, what did you use to make tea? Why does it smell like medicine?" Xiaolan was thirsty so she took a big sip of tea, but she didn't expect that it was not black tea at all, so she quickly stood up to rinse her mouth.

"Oh, this is the Chinese herbal medicine I bought at the grocery store in Chinatown after the last football game. I feel like I'm too weak, so I should drink some to replenish myself." Yonno Jurina tasted the tea in her cup. Maybe she's used to it these days, so she doesn't know why Xiaolan reacted so strongly. "There's Coke in the refrigerator, you can use it to change the taste!"

After taking a big gulp of ice-cold cola, Xiaolan felt like she had just come back to life from the bad taste of the medicine. "Aunt Lina, you are indeed too weak, but you should go out and exercise. Drinking this kind of stuff won't do any good!"

"But going out for exercise is really tiring."

"It's settled, I'll take you out for a morning run every day from now on, since you're not too busy at work anyway!"

“??? When did we agree on this?” Xiaolan, you have changed. Where is my angel Lanlan?

"Just now, I can't let you fool me this time. Why do you need to take medicine when you are so young?"

"It's not medicine, it's just health tea?"

"If you don't exercise, it won't help no matter what you drink! Remember to set the alarm clock and get up an hour earlier tomorrow. I'll take you for a run. In the morning, go out to the park or the riverbank to breathe some fresh air. You'll be energetic all day!"

"Okay, okay, I promise you." After thinking about it, Yoshinogi Rina decided not to disappoint the child. After all, it was for her own good. "Let's continue telling your adventure story."

After a series of interruptions, Hiran no longer had the desire to scare Yonoju Rina as she did in the beginning, and she briefly finished her story about their trip to the villa.

"So that guy with bandages wants to kill you just because you might have seen his true body. How can he say he's exercising justice?" Rina Yonogi was indignant. This guy almost hurt Xiaolan and scared her to death. "We must demand a heavy sentence for his attempted murder of you!"

"My mother said the same thing. In fact, I think he should have realized his mistake..." Although Xiaolan was still scared, she couldn't help but feel soft-hearted.

"If he really knows he is wrong, he should ask to atone for his sins with more sincere actions. In my opinion, confession without paying the price is just a show to escape punishment."

Yonogi Rina suddenly had an idea and said, "Xiaolan, your fear of ghosts is really dangerous. If you are not afraid of him, this guy can't hurt you at all. Starting tomorrow, I will run with you in the morning, and you can also come and do special training with me!"

"??? Special training?"

"Yes, I must make up for your only shortcoming!"

"What are you going to ask me to do..." Xiaolan said uneasily as she looked at Rina Yono getting excited and it looked like she was going to play a trick on her.

"You'll know once the training starts. How can it be called special training without some surprises?" Yonokuri Rina blinked.

Feilan felt very uneasy, but past experience told her that no matter how she struggled, it would be useless.

Xiaolan is going to become stronger^_☆
