After the supplies were distributed, several people went out.

Conan seemed to be still struggling with why the paper figurine just ignited spontaneously, and Jiu Lanxuan snatched the leg of the wooden chair from his hand.

"this is for you!"

Without knowing why, Conan took the board that had been removed from the stool.

"You're too short, the most you can hit someone's calf with a wooden stick." Jiu Lanxuan held a half-human-high iron rod in her hand, and explained the facts calmly, "It's better to use a wooden plank, which can block attacks and kick. "

"Hehe, you are really thoughtful."

Conan felt a little twitching in his lower abdomen, but he finally endured it silently and put on the wooden board.He, a high school student, doesn't care about brats!

The two children followed the three adults across the courtyard to the next house.

"Knock down."

"anyone there?"

"Knock down."

No one responded to the knock on the door for a long time, and several people were a little confused about the situation. Could it be that the people in the village actually got up very early and went out to work in the village?

"I remember yesterday that the old lady said not to knock on the door randomly during the day." Xi Ji obviously had a profound influence on the old lady yesterday, and the words of going out less during the day lingered in her mind like a mantra.

"Bumping the door?" The village was very quiet at the moment, as if the whole village had fallen into a deep sleep.If you want to visit someone quietly, obviously this is the most suitable time.

"That's not good?"

Conan behind him was still hesitating, but the wooden door in front was easily knocked open.

"This door doesn't look like it's locked." Nakamura pushed the door open with his clothes on, knowing that there might be people who don't know whether it's a ghost or not, and he doesn't want to touch anything here.

Not surprisingly, it was very dark inside, as dark as night.The windows of this room were also nailed shut. They looked at each other, and Xi Ji behind him turned on the flashlight, while the two men in front held sticks to explore the way.

The room was quiet, and Xi Ji took a flashlight to look around, only to see a closed coffin.

"Is he sleeping in a coffin? Can't it be opened?"

Several people lip-synthesized each other in the dark.

"Come on, we are three against one now, we will definitely be able to subdue him!"

A few people walked to the coffin, Jiu Lanxuan and Nakamura held sticks, Conan held a wooden board, Yuki held a flashlight, and Yoshikawa was about to open the coffin.

"one two Three!"

"Squeak."

With a slight sound, the coffin was opened, and what was in sight was a bright red face and an extremely white face.Apparently the bed sheet here is also red, and the face of the person inside is a bit unnaturally white, and there is no reaction at all when the light shines on the face.

"Hello?" Nakamura felt something was wrong, and reached out to pat the other person's face, but the expression suddenly froze on his face.

Conan also felt that something was wrong. He ran over and squatted down to check, "Dead...the cause of death was excessive blood loss."

"How come!" The flashlight flickered, and Xi Ji's mood was a little unstable, "Aren't the villagers accomplices?"

"Go! Let's see the other villagers!"

Without hesitation, several people ran out in a hurry, and opened the houses of several villagers.

"Dead, all dead!"

Yoshikawa Shin turned pale and his hands trembled. It was the first time in his life that he had seen so many dead people.

"Did we misunderstand the villagers? Or they are also victims." Xi Ji was terrified at this time, standing among the few people with her neck curled up, the midday sun couldn't bring her warmth at all.

"No, this village is very suspicious." Conan held the board with both hands, and glanced at everyone, "Xiao Xuan, is there a custom in China that you can't put a stove in a house?"

"Under normal circumstances, every household will have a stove." Jiu Lanxuan and a few others were reminded by Conan and also discovered this.

"The stove is a place to light a fire and cook. In a village like this that has no electricity and needs to be illuminated with lanterns at night, what do they usually eat without a stove?" Conan spoke slowly, as if he was accepting a field that he had never touched before, " Or do they not have to eat at all? This village is a ghost village, so sleeping in coffins is a matter of course. Thinking in this direction, people are picked up from the cemetery, white lanterns, blue willows are used at night, and willows are planted behind the house, Sleeping in a coffin... all of this can be reasonably explained."

His speech was very slow, as if he was describing something that was unacceptable to himself, and even more unacceptable to other listeners. Conan's reasoning made sense, but it made several people shudder.

"So the old lady we saw yesterday, the driver, and the passengers..." Xi Ji's voice trembled violently, and he couldn't continue.

"I'm afraid we'll have to wait until dark to find out."

"It's too dangerous. There is already a junior high school student studying in the United States. Let's leave first." Nakamura felt a retreat in his heart, "Well, you go out first, and I will stay alone to look for Sakura."

"What did you say, can my sister leave it alone?" Yoshikawa Jin punched Nakamura in annoyance.

"That....."

The eyes of several people focused on Xi Ji and the two children. This village is still very dangerous. The way out is difficult and it is very easy to get lost. It is indeed biased to let a girl go out with two elementary school students.

In the end, several people were still planning to stay overnight before leaving.If it can be confirmed tonight that the villagers are really dead, not ghosts.Then tomorrow morning they will go down the mountain to call the police.

========

The next few people were assigned to find food, while Jiu Lanxuan and Conan were left idle.

"Xiao Xuan, do you know Chinese culture well?" Walking on the country road, Conan had a complicated expression.

"Well, my parents are Chinese." Jiu Lan seemed lost in memory,

It's been more than 20 years, and I don't know how they live in another world,

It's ashamed to say that he found a new bond here, and his parents in another world. . . .I'm afraid it's hard to get over the pain of losing a child.

Sensing the change in Jiu Lanxuan's mood, Conan couldn't bear it, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to mention your sadness. But normal families probably wouldn't teach their children such things about funerals and identifying the time of death of a corpse. Xiao Xuan, where did you learn all this?"

"...from my brother." After a short pause, Jiu Lanxuan began to talk nonsense, "My brother is a person who loves Chinese culture very much, but he didn't go back after I was born. So he used to teach I have some attempts about China."

Without any pressure in his heart, Jiu Lanxuan turned Jiu Lanshu, a pure Japanese vampire, into a young man advocating Chinese culture, and unconsciously came to his mind what it would look like if Jiu Lanshu wore Hanfu.

The expression on his face became cheerful, and even his wine-red eyes brought a little smile, which really reminded him of his kind big brother.

Conan couldn't tell whether Jiu Lanxuan was lying or not at this time, he spoke carefully, "Before I came here, I received an invitation from a man named Belmode."

"???" Jiu Lanxuan's expression was suppressed, and her wine-red eyes showed a bit of innocence.

"Huihara and I speculate that Belmode is Chris Wynyard, but Belmode existed more than 20 years ago. The only possibility that can be established is that Chris Wynyard and Sharon Wynyard are the same." Conan said When I was there, I stared at Jiu Lanxuan's eyes, with a look of inquiry.

"No way? The last time I saw Sister Chris at the funeral was still very young. If it is the same person, how can she not be old for more than 20 years?" Jiu Lanxuan blinked, and the iron rod touched again and again. It makes a little noise when it hits the ground.
