The world is restarting

After half an hour.

When the children of the Boy Detective Group woke up in a daze, they felt that the surrounding light was extremely dark. They got up from the ground and looked out the window in the stairwell, and found that it was already dark.

Genta, Mitsuhiko, Ayumi: "!"

What happened? !

"Are you awake?"

A few children excitedly raised their heads, only to find four people sitting on the steps not far away.

Edogawa Conan, Sawada Ya, Muko Hiyake, and a blond boy whom he didn't know.

Seeing that they were all awake, Conan jumped down the steps and walked towards them, "Let me introduce, this is Mr. Yuanguang. There was an earthquake just now. Fortunately, he passed by and rescued us."

"Eh? Oh, thank you senior."

The children thanked them in a daze. Their memories were all stuck before they passed out, and they vaguely remembered that there was indeed such a thing as an earthquake.

Yuan Tai shook her head in a dizzy state, stretched out her hand to support her head, and suddenly touched her hand full of viscous liquid.He put down his hand in bewilderment, opened his palm to look, and a bright red blood pierced into his vision.

Yuan Tai: "?! Ah!!!! Is this, blood, blood? My head is broken???"

Everyone was startled by his sudden voice, and they were about to gather around nervously.

Conan: "Stop shouting, that's paint."

Everyone: "...huh?"

He took out a handkerchief and handed it over, explaining with a calm expression, "Do you still remember the trap someone set up before? Yuan Tai probably rubbed the paint on his head when he fell to the ground."

"Yes, is that so?" Yuan Tai took the towel in a daze, wiped her forehead, and suddenly realized, "Yes, it really doesn't hurt."

"Huh..." The children finally breathed a sigh of relief, and then taught Yuan Tai one after another, "Don't be surprised!"

"Yeah, it's scary!"

"Ah, I'm sorry..."

Conan withdrew his gaze, and was looking thoughtfully at Wataru Kurahashi, who also got up from the ground with a confused expression, when suddenly Haibara Ai's calm voice came from behind him.

"who's that person?"

"What?" Conan turned around in surprise.

Huiyuan: "That blond-haired man, what happened just now when we were in a coma...you don't have to fool me, something must have happened, because the thing on Yuantai's head is not paint, it's blood, you can't hide this from me. "

As soon as Conan opened his mouth, she was blocked by the second half of her sentence. He paused and smiled helplessly, "Something did happen...but you'd better not know about it."

……

"The method is good," Yuanguang said, "but are you ready? Entering this bizarre, dangerous and weird world?"

Conan: "What do you mean?"

"Hey, boy, don't you think it's strange? There are 'weird' and 'strange stories' in this world. But why do some people believe and others don't? Has he never encountered any supernatural in his life?"

"In your own life, haven't you never encountered these things before? Do you want to recall when you found that your world began to be 'abnormal'?"

Conan: "..."

"Remember? It started when you met His Highness?"

"This world is like this. It seems that everyone lives under the same sky, but in fact, the people who pass you on the road may be in a world completely different from yours. Monsters also Well, supernatural beings, not everyone can encounter them. The less you know about the world here, the less likely they will come to you... For ordinary people, it is wise and safe not to understand choose?"

……

Conan withdrew his thoughts from the memories, and shrugged nonchalantly at Kamihara Ai's suspicious gaze, "As a scientist, for the sake of your three views, it's better not to know these things."

Hui Yuan Ai: "...it's weird."

After Yasa Sawada and Yuanguang came down the steps, Conan gave Kurahashi Tsuru another introduction, and added that Master Yuanguang was also very interested in the strange stories they investigated and wanted to join them.

Cangqiao rubbed the back of his head in a daze, "That's nothing. After all, Yuan-senpai also belongs to our Ice Emperor?"

Yuanguang smiled at him, "Yeah, I'm in the third grade of middle school. If you are worried, you can check in the school system. There is my photo."

Cangqiao: "Ah, this is not..."

He was just a little surprised why the seniors from the middle school came here, but since the other party said that, it seemed inappropriate to ask further.

Canghashi kept his doubts in his heart, and just when he was about to speak, Edogawa looked at him nonchalantly and said, "Let's go, we can go to the next location."

Cangqiao: "...Is it alright here?"

Edogawa Conan: "The investigation has been completed, and the stairs only have twelve steps."

Hui Yuanai looked back at him suddenly, and the other children headed by Yuan Tai were surprised in unison, "Eh? Is it really only the twelfth level?"

"You can count by yourself." Conan took out his mobile phone, "We counted you when you were unconscious and recorded a video."

After he finished speaking, he looked back at Cangqiao, "That Ninzu-kun from the day just called, you were still in a coma, and he said he would contact you when you woke up..."

As soon as he said this, Canghashi Tsutomu's cell phone rang.

The brown-haired boy looked down subconsciously, and said that Cao Cao had arrived, and it was really Yushi Renzu calling.He then apologized and stepped aside in a daze to answer the phone.

Several unbelieving children jumped up and down the stairs to count the steps again, only Hui Yuanai stood still.

"That staircase, when I counted it was thirteen steps." She looked ahead and said softly.

"...Haha." Conan laughed dryly, "Maybe you made a mistake?"

Hui Yuan Ai: "Do I look like a little fool?"

Conan: "..."

He looked away helplessly, "Do you still want your scientific view?"

Haibara Ai: "Oh, is it such a serious matter that will shake my view of science?"

Her words made Conan silent for a moment, and when she felt strange and turned her head to look, she saw that he was looking in one direction and didn't know what he was thinking.

Huihara Ai followed his gaze and saw the silver-haired little girl who was talking to the senior who called herself Yuanguang.

"Haihara," Conan said softly, "don't touch these."

"Huh?" Hui Yuanai looked back at him in surprise.

"Unlike the Black Organization, you have to deal with those people because you were targeted by them, but these things have nothing to do with you... Don't understand, don't touch, the farther you will be from that dangerous world. "

Hui Yuanai was silent for a while, "It has nothing to do with you, right?"

"That's what you say, but I'm a detective." The black-haired boy turned his head and smiled at her, "A detective is a creature whose curiosity is more important than life. After knowing the existence of the world over there, how could I Go back and close the door again, pretending to ignore it?"

Hui Yuanai met his eyes suddenly, the azure blue was too bright, like a cluster of vibrant flames burning in the deepest part of the blue all the year round, as if it would never go out.

She paused for a moment, then suddenly crossed her arms and turned her head, and said lazily, "Oh, is that so? Actually, there are other reasons, right?"

Edogawa: "Huh?"

Hui Yuan Ai: "Lolicon."

Edogawa: "???"

"It's really only the twelfth level..."

Edogawa Conan's bewilderment was interrupted by the screams of the children.

Finding out that this strange talk is also false, although the children have long been psychologically prepared, they are still inevitably disappointed.

They were all hanging their heads down, when they suddenly heard a voice above their heads, "Come on, cheer up."

Conan walked over with his hands in his pockets, "There are four more in the back. We are here to investigate this matter clearly. The important thing is not ghost stories, but to prove to everyone that so-called ghost stories don't exist at all. That's what we're here for."

"...Yes." The children of the Detective Boys looked up at him for a while, and then became excited again, "That's right, the truth is the most important thing, right Conan?"

Conan bent his eyes and smiled, "Yes."

Yasa Sawada had just said a few words with Yuan Guang when she heard cheers from there, and she turned her head to see a group of children who had cheered up again.

"It's really exciting." The person in front of him said.

Zetian looked back at him.

"Huh?" Yuan Guang saw that her eyes fell on him for a while, and asked with a smile, "What's wrong?"

Then he saw little Lolita was silent for a moment, "Did something happen at school?"

Yuanguang's smiling expression seemed to pause for a moment, and then he showed a blank look, "Huh?"

He was so dazed that it seemed real, Sawada Ya tilted his head to look at him, and then turned his gaze.

"Are you ready to go?"

This sentence was asked of Conan.He took care of the kid and came over just at this moment.

"Well, I'm ready to go to the next ghost talk location."

He glanced at the two people in front of him, feeling a little strange, but didn't ask any more questions.

"Cangqiao said that he will go to the music classroom next, which happens to be in this building."

The art building is U-shaped as a whole, and the music classroom is opposite the art room, and the two are not on the same floor.

Canghashi Tsutomu led the crowd through the corridor while talking, "The weird talk in the music classroom was first spread by a few fourth-grade students."

"They also came to the school to pick up things at night, and when they passed by the art building, they suddenly heard the sound of a piano. But the building was dark, and no classroom was lit. They felt strange and went to the school's security guard to check , and finally found that the sound of the piano came from the music classroom in Building A."

"At first, the security guards thought it was someone who stayed in the school to practice the piano, and they wondered why the other party didn't turn on the lights, until they came to the door of the music classroom and found that the door was locked. As soon as they opened the door, the sound of the piano inside stopped. The piano cover in the middle of the classroom was opened, but the classroom was empty."

Everyone is familiar with the strange talk of "the piano I played by myself in the music classroom". There are also various rumors about the origin of the strange talk. A talented musical girl lost in a piano competition and came back to blame the piano at the school, but her head was crushed by the piano cover, leaving behind a ghost...

All in all, it's all about ghosts.

At this time, the sky outside was completely covered by night, and the lights in the corridor were not turned on, only the light of the flashlight shone directly into the darkness ahead.In such an environment, listening to the student council president tell ghost stories in a gentle voice, I feel unusually sour and refreshing, and the children's hairs stand on end.

I don't know if it's because the little princess Ze Tianya feels too safe. They moved closer to her while being afraid, and it didn't take long for a group of shivering quails to crowd behind Ze Tianya.

Cangqiao She: "It is said that from then on, as long as you pass this building at night, you will hear the faint sound of a piano coming from the dark corridor..."

Xiang Riyue held his little friend's arm and asked tremblingly, "Is it like now?"

Canghashi: "Ah, right... eh?!"

Everyone froze in place at the same time, and as soon as the chaotic footsteps stopped, the seemingly absent piano sound became clear in the air.

The melody, as beautiful as a flowing spring, spirals through the stairs and floats down from the upper floor far away. It is ethereal and ethereal, as if it still has a ghostly aura.
