Live Kexue in Kexue World

=========================

Kidd crouched in the ventilation duct, and the surroundings were quiet, only the rustling of his body rubbing against the duct, and the white noise from the headset.

It was pitch black all around him, and the only thing that could illuminate him was the miniature flashlight that was handed over from Kudo Shinichi.

Speaking of this miniature flashlight is interesting, the little brother didn't realize that all the valuable things on his body were swept by the strange thief. The strange thief who felt that he was quite conscientious finally took the miniature flashlight that he used as a key chain.

I hope Shinichi Kudo has no urgent need, Kidd thought silently.

One end of the ventilation pipe was embedded next to the safety exit. After being discovered by them, Ruobin Chunliang immediately asked Brandy to go in and walk around to confirm that this structure leads upstairs, and there is a line that happens to stop at Nagai Masahiro's room above.

The inside of the pipe is very clean. Since it can allow a big guy like Brandy to enter, it proves that its cross-sectional size is absolutely large enough.At the beginning, Branty still didn't understand, this place was simply a natural "air-raid shelter", why no one was hiding in it.

"Since this place is isolated from the outside, there is no so-called exit, and at best it leads to other places here. If you encounter someone who wants to kill you inside, there is nowhere to escape." Kidd finished. Finally, he glanced at Brandy who didn't understand at all, feeling a little helpless, "Well, you don't need to hide, what you need to hide is the unlucky guy who met you."

Brandy then nodded affirmatively.

Anyway, there's still 15 minutes until the bell rings again, and Kidd's almost there.

The outlet of the ventilation duct is not above Nagai Masahiro's room, and Brandy tore a crack in the thick and strong iron sheet in advance when he was investigating.Kidd just had to deepen its wound along the breach until he could get himself through.

The ray of the flashlight was quiet and indifferent in the closed environment, Kidd saw the direction and moved forward slowly.

At 25:[-] in the evening, Wakabayashi Haruliang left his room.

He brought a long sword that he had never used since he got it. The hilt, which resembled a knight's sword, was covered with a layer of dark brown attachments, whether it was dried blood or simple rust.

This not-so-long sword is more like a non-practical decoration in his hand.Similar to the king's scepter, the wizard's holy relic, in short, it is not a weapon.

The door was opened, and the bell that was about to ring made the hallway completely silent.The lighting effect has not changed from beginning to end, but the atmosphere is completely different from the daytime.The footprints stepped on during the day are staggered, and the corpses lying on the ground are terrifying and hideous. The top light hits their faces with black and white interlaced light and dark areas, and the deep and shallow shapes create a rigid expression.

Like they're still sneering.

"Nagai Masahiro hasn't left the room." Dante Chen and Brandy waited outside, Dante Chen was talking, keeping his eyes on the corpse on the ground.

Ruolin Chunliang asked softly, "Have you arrived at the designated location?"

He was asking about Kidd on the other end of the headset, and the electric current sizzled twice, and Kidd's voice came: "Hurry up."

"Okay." If Lin Chunliang looked at the clock on the wall in the room again, the pointer moved forward bit by bit. The time is not too tight. The ventilation duct is still safe at present, even if it is nine o'clock and they have not turned it on. It doesn't matter if Masahiro Nagai takes him out of the room.

They walked towards the target room without haste, the blood marks they stepped out were clear and light, and when they reached the door, Ruolin Chunliang knocked on the door lightly.

No one answered.

If Lin Chunliang was not in a hurry, he continued to knock on the door a few times, very politely, with the patience to invite friends to the meeting.

"There are still three minutes." Brandy clenched his fists and looked the door up and down, "He doesn't have a 'lock', I can just smash the door open."

Dan Techen silently stepped aside.

Ruo Lin Chunliang shook his head, but stepped aside: "Knock on the door, be polite, don't break it."

Dante Chen: "..."

Why does it feel like coming to collect debts all of a sudden?

Of course, Branty's strength was not comparable to that of Ruo Lin Chunliang, even if he just knocked with his knuckles, every hit would cause the door to tremble, and even the wall trembled along with it.

Intermittent screams came from the next room: "Why did it start before nine o'clock—!"

"Perform a 'listen'. "Ruolin Chunliang said.

He said it directly, obviously, not just for the black cat to hear.The three character cards asked the black cat for a "listening" test at the same time, and the result of the test was immediately obtained. Brandy shook his head, indicating that he had failed the test.

And Dan Techen was silent for a moment, probably accepting the clues given by the black cat. After a few seconds, he and Ruolin Chunliang first looked at each other, and then looked at the door.

"I heard vague footsteps. The footsteps are behind the door. It should be Masahiro Nagai."

At this time, the black cat also gave the expected result for Wakabayashi Haruliang's successful test:

"So, in the silence, you seem to hear a very soft crackle. At first you don't know what it is, it sounds rhythmically, one after another, just like the beating of a heart.

"Then, you understand, it's the sound of your knuckles hitting a hard wooden object. Simply put, it's a door knocking sound. Of course it can't be the sound of Brandy 'slamming the door', so it can only be It came from inside the door.

"Someone's knocking on the door in a certain rhythm—what rhythm? You'll have to wonder."

He's counting down behind the door!

Ruolin Chunliang immediately came to a conclusion, and quickly took a step back, looking at Brandy, "Open the door!"

It only takes three steps for Brandy to open the door, punch, punch, and punch.

The door became weaker and weaker each time, and finally it couldn't bear the huge pressure concentrated at one point, and it seemed that it was about to fall apart.

And at this moment, from the room to the corridor, the entire space exploded with familiar music.

Everyone was stunned, the sudden sound was like a thunderstorm that had been pulling the trigger, everyone knew it was about to sound, and even the countdown was visualized.It is precisely because everyone knows this well that when he really came, the heart that had been tense was immediately pulled straight again after relaxing for a moment.

The "bell" rings at 09:30.

The movement this time was weirder than any previous one, and it didn't bring any dizziness. Similarly, this meant that people didn't even have any chance to buffer.

Ruolin Chunliang was dragged to the side by Brandy.

When he stood still, he found the sound of rain coming from his ears.It is impossible to hear the sound of rain in a confined space, it is the sound of blood splashing.

Where did the blood come from?Carpets, walls, in sight, out of sight.

Ruolin Chunliang found that the red attached to other objects turned into a kind of smoke, slowly rising like ashes, then suddenly liquefied, and fell back into the form of blood again, like a never-ending rain.

Brandy stopped the people in the tentatively clean place and continued to tear down the door. Ruolin Chunliang and Dante Chen moved two steps to the vacant place beside them, avoiding the corpse and the red rain.

They observed very tacitly, the changes in the sights in this very short period of time.

The fluorescent lamps flickered, and the light changed after being splashed with red. The sound of humming electric current was embellished, and the blood dripped onto the corpse lying quietly on the ground. As soon as the bones touched the red rain, cracks developed and were covered with concentrated sulfuric acid. There was a sizzling sound of corrosion, and at the same time tremors appeared like conditioned reflexes.

As expected at previous auctions, the dead returned to earth, in evil form.

Finally, the door was smashed through.

There was no light in the room, and it was pitch black and it was impossible to see anything clearly.After the door was blasted, finally light could not wait to get into the room, clinging to everything within the scope of the laws of physics.

But there are too few things in the room. Compared with the more uniform room style of other people, this place seems completely empty, with gray and black walls and floors, and the empty space in all directions at a glance... No matter how you look at it, it doesn’t look too good. In line with common sense.

And Nagai Masahiro stood quietly about three steps behind the door, with his hands folded together, just standing in the middle of the empty room with a smile.

It was as if... there was something in the space behind him.

This is too weird.

[My super reasoning is the strongest: make a "detection" check. 】

"I'm going to make a Spot check. "

Edogawa Ranpo and Wakabayashi Haruyo spoke at the same time.

The black cat has been hiding behind Wakabayashi Haruliang, and hesitated for a rare moment after hearing Wakabayashi Haruliang's request. It seemed to have a brief eye contact with Nagai Masahiro, and then performed a "detection" check as usual.

Check failed.

The black cat didn't have any emotions such as gloating, but looked at Chunliang Ruobayashi with a sigh of relief, but heard the other party say in his heart: "Can I continue the "Investigation" check? "

"...In principle, only one check can be made." The black cat squeezed his throat and said, "But you can "put all your eggs in one basket", but the failure at this time will be regarded as a big failure by default. If you fail now..." It put the second half The words were swallowed back into the cat's stomach.

"What can I do for you?" Nagai Masahiro's moderate voice came from the opposite side.

He gave up his plan to continue the "detection" check. If it was Martini, he might have used outrageous luck to give it a try, so he just forgot.

As expected, he said, "I want to talk to you about me."

Nagai Masahiro's smile widened a bit, and he said hypocritically, "We are not familiar with each other, Professor."

"You are humble. There may be no one in the world who knows my existence better than you."

"I thought the person who knew you best should be yourself."

"I thought so before."

"Oh?"

Brandy once again threw the corpse that was pounced on the room several meters away. The corpses collided with each other and made a dull sound. The creature with a low growl in its mouth remained silent after being injured, and stumbled again like a clockwork walking dead stand up.

The severed skull rolled down to Dan Techen's feet, and the headless body shook twice, and was torn to pieces by the staring corpses nearby.They not only attack the living, but even the slightly weaker "companions" are not spared.

They crawled on their knees when their legs were broken, pulled out their impeding intestines and threw them aside when their waists were pierced. They were infused with life by some kind of curse, but they completely lost all the characteristics that life should have—except for the fact that the body can still move. a little outside.

The densely packed corpses turned into a purely violent species, moving only for death.

Obviously, this is definitely not a good place to talk, and Ruolin Chunliang also used this to ask: "How about talking in another place?"

Nagai Masahiro shook his head for a while: "Where's your Phantom Thief friend?"

He pointed to the ceiling outside the house: "Isn't he going to come down?"
