Chapter 878 Land of the Dead [Happy Spring Festival, Extra Update]
"No, no," Sonoko said seriously, looking at Ran, "Actually, the reason we came here this time is because of you, Ran!"
"Me?" Ran asked, puzzled.
"When you put on a pretty Mini Tennis Outfit and take a photo with a handsome guy, then send it to Kudo," Sonoko said seriously, "Make him jealous, and maybe he'll come back to ask you about it..."
Conan chuckled inwardly. He knew Sonoko wasn't up to any good. Good thing he came along.
Ran hesitated, "But I only brought my Teitan High School School Uniform..."
"It's okay, I've already prepared it for you..." Sonoko took out a very short Tennis Skirt from the bag beside her and asked with a smile, "How about it? Super short and super cute, right?"
Haibara Ai sat by the window, yawned, and continued to fiddle with Hassashi.
Ran definitely wouldn't wear these kinds of clothes.
Conan secretly glanced back. His face under the Mask was as red as Ran's.
"No, no! I didn't bring a Sports Bra or Safety Shorts!" Ran said quickly.
Sonoko offered a bad idea, "Then just wear Underwear to play~!"
Conan imagined it for a moment, and his face under the Mask became burning hot.
He really wanted to see it, but he didn't want others to see it.
Chi Feichei lowered his eyes, glanced at Conan's red ears, turned his head and continued to look at the Scenery Outside the window.
Little boys are just little boys. They can get excited just by listening and imagining.
"Hey, hey," Mori Kogoro said unhappily, "If you send that kind of Photo to that Detective Boy, when I see him, he can forget about standing up again!"
"Teacher..." Chi Feichei paused, "Very imposing."
Probably he was overthinking it, but that sentence is really cruel.
"Really?" Mori Kogoro's face brightened up, "You'll understand when you have a Daughter in the future. There are always some annoying Brats who come sniffing around with bad intentions. You have to find the right Timing to deal with them! In short, forget about going to the Tennis Court!"
Sonoko leaned forward to the front seat, smiling slyly, "There are also Female College Student there with great figures and wearing very Cooling clothes~"
"Fe-, Female College Student?" Mori Kogoro's eyes lit up, and he slammed the Throttle, "Then let's hurry to the Tennis Court!"
"Ah-choo!" Conan was speechless and sneezed again.
Sonoko sat back triumphantly, "You Kid are really something. You should obediently Rest at Home when you have a Cold."
"No way," Mori Kogoro said irritably, "I finally asked the Boss of Cafe Poirot to take care of you, but he doesn't appreciate it at all."
Conan pretended to be a childishly willful Kid, "Everyone can go to Sonoko's Villa in Karuizawa to play, I don't want to be alone at Home!"
Chi Feichei was almost immune to the Famous Detective's increasingly skilled Acting Cute. He didn't pay much attention and continued to look at the Scenery Outside the window.
"And you, Ai," Sonoko didn't let go of Haibara Ai who was watching the show Aside, "You're always following Brother Hichiji. Aren't you worried you'll hinder him from finding a Girlfriend?"
"I'm not like Edogawa, always following others," Haibara Ai wasn't afraid at all and declared leisurely, "Moreover, this time I promised Sister Ran to come along. Brother Hichiji is the one who followed."
Besides, if she didn't follow, could Chi Feichei find a Girlfriend?
She felt it was better for her to follow. She could help to take a look, leave Contact Information and chat first. When her Hassashi has had enough fun and wants to find a Girlfriend, she could also help to connect them.
"This time it was indeed Ai who agreed to come first," Ran guessed that Haibara Ai wouldn't say what was in her Heart, looked at the front seat, and took the initiative to speak for Haibara Ai, "It's Because of the Jugo Village matter. Before, my Mother and Brother Hichiji both provided Search and Rescue Expenses, but there's been no good News. I heard that place has become dangerous. More than one rescuer has fallen from the Pile of Rubble. Just yesterday, the Search and Rescue was completely terminated. Ai wants Brother Hichiji to come out and change his Mood."
"Ah, could you be talking about the Land of the Dead?" Sonoko understood where it was as soon as she heard it, and gossiped, "It's very popular on the Forum recently. I heard that place is very Ominous. It was originally a village that believed in some kind of beautiful civilization. After being buried by Rocks, the Spirit of the Villager are still staying there because of Resentment, causing a lot of incidents for the Rescue Team. And some people heard waves of mournful crying when they drove past that area at Night..."
Ran was so scared that she pulled Haibara Ai over and hugged her tightly, "Sonoko, don't say anymore!"
Haibara Ai didn't Struggle and cooperated to be a human-shaped pillow.
"There won't be any Spirit," Conan said speechlessly, "Those people are just going too far, making up stories to scare people after something like this happened."
"Makes Sense. That's two or three hundred people. The number of casualties has suddenly exceeded Mount Tanigawa, which is known as 'Magic Mountain'," Sonoko sighed, "I heard that next week there will be a Councilor coming forward to organize Memorial and Worship Activities."
In the Passenger Seat, Chi Feichei was silent and didn't participate in the Discussion.
After Kisaki Eri contacted him, he did provide Search and Rescue Funds so that the Rescue Team could use Helicopters, Search and Rescue Dog, and the like. Now the Base hasn't been officially built, and the Loss after the Village was discovered is bearable. Since someone would go to Search and Rescue anyway, he might as well add some effort and Test Illusion Magic by the way.
It can be confirmed that current Scientific Method cannot discover Fifteenth Night City.
As someone who funded and assisted Search and Rescue, he could Call to understand the Search and Rescue Details.
For Example, looking down from the Helicopter from high altitude, Sun Mountain, Moon Mountain, and God-Dwelling Mountain were all flattened. Fifteen Night Village, located below the three Mountains, was gone. The Terrain of the ground had changed drastically. It was either deep ravines or small Mountains formed by Pile of Gravel.
For Example, the rescuers who took Search and Rescue Dog into the Mountain gained nothing. Doggo just wandered around inside and led people out. And some rescuers were injured.
Just as Ran said, some rescuers took Dog into the Mountain, but accidentally stepped on air. Even the rescuers didn't understand what was going on, they fell into the Pile of Rubble and were almost buried.
Chi Feichei probably guessed that Koizumi Akako prepared the Pile of Rubble in cooperation with Illusion Magic. However, the rescuers just thought that the Rocks rolling down from that area were still unstable and that they could accidentally step on an unstable Stone Block and fall down.
In addition, there were also teams who were in a bad Mood during Search and Rescue and suddenly had Conflicts and started fighting each other. If other teams hadn't stopped them in time, they might have fought even more fiercely.
As of yesterday, the Search and Rescue Action was terminated. There are two Statements.
An Official Statement: Because seven days have passed and no survivors have been found, it's futile to continue searching. And during this time, many rescuers were injured, that place is now very Danger, and the Psychological Pressure on the rescuers is also very high. So, after comprehensive consideration, the government decided to terminate the Search and Rescue.
Another Statement is from the Forum. Initially, it was a person who prepared Logistics for the Rescue Team who posted a Post. The title was very eye-catching:
"Strange Events in the Search and Rescue Process of Fifteen Night Village - A Deadly Place Formed by More Than 300 Departed Souls"
The Post said that accidents occurred frequently after rescuers entered the Mountain. In just seven days, thirteen people fell from the Pile of Gravel and were injured, each person breaking a leg. Two people got lost and almost couldn't get out. Three teams suddenly fought each other, attacking each other like Crazy. And even Search and Rescue Dog bit people. And some rescuers said they Saw Spirit when searching at Night, and more than one person said so.
That Post attributed it to the fact that the Spirit in the Disaster held Resentment, making that place a Ghost domain.
This Statement very much satisfied the curiosity of Gossip-loving people. It spread widely online, and that place was also named 'Land of the Dead'. Even a 'Land of the Dead' sub-Forum was created in the Umbrella Forum. There are both True and False Posts inside, and some are even more exaggerated than the first poster.
Since yesterday morning, some people have been posting to gather people who are Interested in exploring.
For those who want to go, he could only say - good luck to them.
Based on his Knowledge of the surrounding Illusion Magic, the Rescue Team repeatedly wandering around for seven days, it's impossible that no one died.
He guessed that the Villager were secretly helping.
After all, people went there with good intentions to save them. After the other party was confused by the Illusion, the Villager could Slip over and remove some fatal factors in advance.
For Example, when encountering rescuers who were confused by the Illusion and walking towards the Cliff, the Villager could Step Forward to pull them, adjust the Direction of the person, and make them walk in another Direction.
But if a large number of people, temporarily interested in joining the Excitement, poured in, the Villager might not be able to Help them all. And that kind of disturbance would also make the Villager unhappy. In order to protect their Home, which was like a myth and Legend, the Villager might sit idly by and watch a few unlucky people die, deterring others, and also allow the Police or other institutions to block the Road at the Foot of the Mountain.
In short, this Illusion Magic is very reliable. Using Satan's Power, he guessed that even people from The Vatican coming now couldn't break in. The only thing to consider was what to do after a year when the Illusion Magic disappeared.
Actually, it wasn't difficult to Solve. Use this one-year Time BUG and see what kind of Development Umbrella could achieve.
The simplest Method was: buy the land and close off the Mountain at that time, and then use Equipment to shield Satellite. As long as no one could Approach that area, even if the Illusion Magic disappeared after a year, Fifteenth Night City wouldn't be discovered.
Sonoko didn't ask any further and talked about another thing, "By the Way, Brother Hassashi, you also received the Invitation Letter from the Ooga family, right? Will you take Haibara Kid with you this time?"
"I'll definitely go. My Father Specially Called me and said it's best to go," Chi Feichei said, "As For Ai, it depends on whether she has Time. If she wants to go, I'll take her to Play."
Sonoko glanced at Haibara Ai enviously and sighed, "Alas, it's really good to have someone in front to take the lead. I can't do it. No matter what, I have to go on behalf of my family."
"Ooga family?" Ran recalled, "Could it be that one that started with shipping..."
"Correct, it's the Ooga Foundation. Their eldest son is getting married, and the wedding location is set in Huis Ten Bosch," Sonoko said with a depressed face, "Our family and the Ooga family have a pretty good Relationship. We have to go for at least three days and come back after the Wedding is over."
