Different Maorilan

In the early morning of the next day, Mori Lan and the three of them went to Mermaid Island together with Hattori Heiji Toyama and Ye.

The weather was not very good before departure, and when the boat they took finally arrived at Mermaid Island, the clouds in the sky became heavier.

Because the main purpose of coming to Mermaid Island this time was to find the client who sent the letter, so the group went straight to the village office on the island after getting off the boat to inquire about the whereabouts of the client.

However, they learned that Saori Kadowaki's whereabouts were missing three days ago. Mouri Kogoro was depressed, and from the corner of his eyes, he inadvertently caught a glimpse of Mori Lan staring in a certain direction.

"Lan, did you find anything?" Conan Edogawa, who had been paying attention to Mo Lilan, asked for him.

Wearing sunglasses, Mori Lan's movement of tilting his head was still very obvious. Heiji Hattori immediately looked in the direction he was looking, and there was no one outside the gate of the village office.

"It's nothing, it's just that I seem to see a senior I know."

Mao Lilan took a step outside, wanting to find someone, but felt that it was inappropriate, turned her head to Kogoro Moori and said, "Father Conan, I'll go over to say hello to Senior, please go to Hattori-kun to find Miss Menxie first. If you need something, please call." Inform me, and I will find you after I finish here."

Mori Kogoro and Edogawa Conan shuddered in their hearts. Today is a working day, so it must not be Mori Lan's senior at Teidan High School.The two think about the rumors on this small island again, that is Mao Lilan's senior conjurer in the conjuration world!

Now that a magician has come to this small island... Mori Kogoro, who has learned some of the magician's task system through interpersonal relationships, understands very well that there is a high probability that a magician will appear on this island.

After this thought flashed through his mind, Kogoro Maoli quickly reached out and pressed Mao Lilan's shoulder: "Lan, you..."

Mo Lilan raised his head to meet Mo Li Kogoro's eyes, and saw his unfinished worries from his father's eyes.

So, Mao Lilan patted the back of his hand lightly, and smiled at him relaxedly: "Don't worry, Dad, I will be back soon."

Mori Kogoro hesitated to speak, and could only nod his head: "Okay, then come back as soon as possible."

"Yeah." Mao Lilan lowered his head and said to Edogawa Conan: "Conan, this place is unfamiliar, and there are many tourists, you have to follow my father closely, don't get lost!"

"Understood—I won't run around, Brother Lan." Edogawa Conan, who received Mao Lilan's hint not to run around, responded a little discouraged.

"Conan is good, I will bring you a reward when I come back." Mao Lilan smiled and rubbed Conan Edogawa's head, then greeted Hattori Heiji, Toyama and Ye, and walked out of the village public office.

Kogoro Maoli looked at the gate of the village office where Lan Mao had just walked out, and waved his hand: "Okay, Lan is gone, let's also go to the local product shop where Miss Menxie works to inquire about news!"

"Yes!"

Mori Kogoro strode ahead to open the way, while Hattori Heiji, who was walking side by side with Toyama Kazuha, fell behind with Edogawa Conan.

He bent down, covered his mouth with his hand, and imitated Mao Lilan's last words in a strange voice: "Conan is good~ I will bring you a reward when I come back~~"

Edogawa Conan gave him a white look: "What's so funny?"

Hattori Heiji smiled and said, "Maori treats you like a real child, isn't that funny enough?"

Edogawa Conan didn't want to talk to him, but he said, "Hey Kudo, I said, are you really not going to tell Maori your real identity?"

"If you hide it from him like this, when you return to your original appearance in the future, you will definitely be ashamed and thrown to death in society, right?"

"..." Edogawa Conan was speechless, "Don't worry about it, I won't die socially."

The embarrassment that should have been lost had already been lost when he stalked and insisted on living in Lan's house at the beginning.

However, what Hattori said made sense, did Lan treat him more and more sincerely as a seven-year-old child?He is only seven years old on the outside, but inside he is a 17-year-old high school student who is the same age as Lan!

"Huh—??" Hattori Heiji stared at him suspiciously, and a guess suddenly popped up in his heart, "Could it be Kudo you?!!"

"That's right, Lan already knew."

After Edogawa Conan left this sentence, he ran up and caught up with Mori Kogoro, who had gone farther and farther.

Hattori Heiji looked at Edogawa Conan's back in surprise, amazed.

Did the two of you really know how to play like this? !

It's okay for Kudo to be so proficient in acting as a child pretending to be cute, after all, life forces him to do so.But Mao Li is really strong, knowing that Kudo is just a fake kid now, yet he can still treat him like a real kid so naturally and flawlessly...

"Heiji, are you still standing there in a daze to grow mushrooms? Hurry up, Uncle Mori and Conan have gone far!" Toyama Kazuha walked back and grabbed Hattori Heiji's arm, pulling him forward.

"I got it, I got it, Kazuha, don't push so hard, I'll leave by myself!" Hattori Heiji said hastily.

-

"Mr. Qihai, it's been a long time!" Mao Lilan greeted the mature blond man in a white suit familiarly.

Mao Lilan had cooperated with Jianren Qihai for a long time when he was promoted to the first-level conjurer. After the evaluation, because they were both first-level conjurers, they acted independently most of the time.Later, he only met Jianren Qihai a few times when he was in the high school of conjuration, and it was true that he hadn't seen him for a long time.

Jianren Qihai gave Mao Lilan the impression that he was a very mature and reliable adult, who could safely leave his back to his companions during missions.

He has such a good impression of Jianren Qihai, and Jianren Qihai has a good impression of him.

Although he came from Wutiao's family and was a student taught by Wutiao Wutiao, he was unbelievably calm and considerate at such a young age.

It's just that Jianren Qihai learned that Mao Lilan was forced to enter the magic world and began to exorcise curse spirits as soon as his talent was awakened. Before that, he was just an ordinary person, so he couldn't help but pay more attention to him.

Then he discovered that Mao Lilan's psychological problems may be a bit serious, so the magician is shit!

It is such a high-intensity task for a child who has just entered the magic world to face the magic spirit and the inevitable death non-stop, and adults may not be able to handle it...

Jianren Qihai also reminded Wujo Wu that since you brought your child in, you should take care of him more. He has six eyes like you, but it doesn't mean he has the same personality as you.

and--

There is already an example of a detour, the person in hand should hurry up now.

Gojo Satoru didn't know if he listened to it, but Jianren Qihai saw Mao Lilan today and felt that his condition looked better. It can be seen that Wujo, who is not doing human affairs, can still do some human affairs.

"Long time no see, Wutiao." Jianren Qihai replied.

"I didn't expect that the person who came to Mermaid Island would be Mr. Qihai. Have you confirmed that there are traces of curse spirits on the island?" Mao Lilan contacted Iji Jiegao after learning about it from Hattori Heiji last night, and asked him to report to him. Window to confirm the situation of Mermaid Island.

Unexpectedly, he reported it last night, and Qihai Jianren arrived today. When did the efficiency of the window become so high?

"Before you reported this matter, the window was already paying attention to this island." Jianren Qihai looked up at the gloomy sky, and then motioned Mao Lilan to follow him.

After Mao Lilan followed, Nanami Jianren explained the situation to Mao Lilan as he walked: "The long-lived woman on the island who is said to have lived for more than 100 years after eating mermaid meat has been found to be a shrine maiden in disguise. The other people in this case jointly concealed this matter on the premise of knowing it."

"Is it for the tourists who will come to the island for sightseeing?"

"Well, this island is famous for its mermaids, which attract tourists. Today's prosperity is brought about by the influx of tourists, so they can't lose the only source of income from tourists. It just so happens that the witch is willing to replace the dead mother. Pretending to be a longevity woman, they only need to pretend that they don't know anything to continue the prosperity of the island, why not?"

Qihai Jianren's tone was calm, and there was no emotional ups and downs in his voice when he spoke, but such a cold and calm bystander's voice sounded like a sarcasm.

Mao Lilan felt a little uncomfortable when he heard the words. He had seen many such things during missions, and people's hearts are unpredictable.

But seeing a lot doesn't mean being indifferent.

Jianren Qihai turned his head and glanced at him: "Student Wutiao came alone?"

"No, I came to play with my friends." Mao Lilan replied quickly.

Jianren Qihai disapproved in his deep voice after hearing this: "Since you suspect that there are curse spirits here, you should be more cautious."

Mao Lilan bowed her head and admitted her mistake: "You are right."

Jianren Qihai finished his point, and he continued the topic just now: "In addition to the mermaid legend of the longevity woman, the annual dugong celebration on the island is also very popular. The window where I came to step on the spot took out the registration book of the shrine to receive the number plate to check, I found that many dignitaries and celebrities have visited this small island, and there are also many foreigners.”

"People from all over the world gather here for the legends of 'mermaids' and 'longevity', plus the wishes of the people on the island to pin their prosperity on 'mermaids', and—"

Jianren Qihai took Mao Lilan to the foot of the back mountain of the island, and looked up, the black round "tent" that only magicians could see covered the whole mountain.

"The obsession and resentment of the last priestess who did not hesitate to become a 'Longevity Woman' to protect and revitalize this island before her death, multiple factors intertwined, forming a curse originating from this land."

The auxiliary supervisor standing outside the tent bowed his head to Mao Lilan and Qihai Jianren, and they returned the salute before walking into the tent.

Mao Lilan took off his sunglasses and put them in his pocket. After removing the majestic purple eyes, he easily found the trace of the curse spirit hiding in this mountain forest.

"Mr. Qihai, I saw it, the special-grade curse embryo is on the top of the mountain!" Mao Lilan reported to Jianren Qihai.

Jianren Qihai nodded slightly. The mission description he received had already introduced the appearance of the special curse embryo.

"Get over it now and fix it as soon as possible."

"If you have Wutiao classmates, you can leave work earlier today."

"Thank you for your trust, but you are still the same, Mr. Nanami."

"Working overtime is shit!"
