After becoming invincible, start having fun in the world

Chapter 360 Ghost, Level Up

The black, writhing characters only lingered for a moment before vanishing into the air without leaving a trace.

Matsushima Wanxing's legs went weak, and she collapsed to the ground, only to be helped up by her older sister.

Ghosts? Mysterious forces?
Neither of these seems quite adequate to describe the current situation.

Kogoro Mouri pinched his thigh lightly to make sure he wasn't dreaming.

So, can such paranormal phenomena really happen in real life?

Before Kogoro Mouri could even react, a line of red text reappeared.

However, this time the black text was much smaller than before, which was clearly visible to everyone, and it only hovered in front of Mori alone.

You returned the [head] and received the gratitude of the wronged spirit.

[From now on, you can locate the killer through meditation.]

The people standing next to Mori also noticed the words and fell into thought.

"What do you mean? A serial killer?" Sato Seiyu stroked his chin. "Yes, the black text also indicated that something would appear in reality."

"Based on what was said in that booklet, it might be referring to the murderer who killed the entire family that owned this manor back then. Will he come after us?"

Conan nodded, stroking his chin as he began to analyze: "And the body parts offered up by the wronged souls are the sign of 'starting the game'? And the person who makes the sacrifice will gain some kind of power?"

Everyone looked down at Conan, who realized his mistake and scratched his head with a silly grin: "That's how it's written in horror novels."

No one cares.

“Conan’s analysis is the same as mine.” Sato Chengyu nodded. “Moreover, we can tell from Kaito Kid’s letter that he probably knows something. The fact that he offered his head shows that he wants to cooperate with us, but he can’t show himself because of his identity.”

Conan had even more ideas.

Keep in mind that's Phantom Thief Kid. If even he can't solve the problem by himself, then the situation must be really bad.

The notice sent by Kidd stated that the corpse was part of a key; where there is a key, there is naturally a lock or door, based on the current situation and the booklet.
“Maybe once we’ve collected all the bodies, we’ll be able to leave the manor.” Sato Chengyu voiced Conan’s speculation: “Things are different now. Before, we could wait for the police to come and repair the bridge at dawn, but now there’s a clear unknown threat, so we can’t just sit here and wait to die.”

This statement dispelled some people's ideas.

"Now the enemy is in the dark while we are in the light. Our top priority is to find the killer's trail and verify whether what Black Letter said is true."

After saying that, Sato Seiyu and Conan both turned their gazes to Kogoro Mouri.

"Uh, meditation?" Kogoro Mouri forced a smile and sat down cross-legged on the spot. "I'll give it a try."

When I was in police academy, a karate master would teach me some techniques, including meditation.

Therefore, Mori only needed to recall it briefly to find that feeling again.

As Mori fell into meditation, the black mist reappeared, coalescing into a three-dimensional map of the manor.

"It really can happen!" Mori was startled and immediately broke out of his meditative state.

The expressions on everyone's faces grew even more solemn.

The appearance of this extraordinary power further confirms that what Black said was true.

Conan had his head down, so his face was not visible.

He realized there was a bigger problem.

If the supernatural power is real, can we really be saved by holding out until dawn?

Or perhaps, there's only one way left now.

Mori realized something was wrong and went back into meditation.

This time, the black mist successfully constructed a complete three-dimensional map of the manor, and then a red dot slowly appeared.

Subconsciously, Mori instantly understood that this was the location of the so-called "murderer." "This location is..."

Mori squinted, mentally mapping the 3D map to reality.

Immediately afterwards, his face turned pale.

"The killer is right at the door!"

"Bang!!"

A tremendous noise rang out along with Mori's words.

The heavy solid wood door cracked open like a thin, brittle biscuit, and a menacing black axe emerged from it.

"Bang!!"

Pull it out, then chop it.

The crack in the door widened further, allowing everyone to see the scene outside.

A ghost with a helmet resembling a crocodile's and black bandages on its head stood silently in the doorway, staring at everyone through the crack in the door.

"Ahhhh!!!"

"This way!" Mori suddenly stood up, but then felt dizzy and almost collapsed.

Even so, he forced open the French doors, grabbed Ran and Sonoko, and then carried Conan to the balcony.

"Jump to the next one!"

Meanwhile, a gap the size of a person had been cut into the thick solid wood door, but fortunately the murderer was much taller and couldn't get in for the time being.

Upon hearing Mori's command, the others rushed to the balcony and jumped onto the balconies on either side.

Ran is very strong and easily pushed Sonoko and Conan over.

However, the situation on the other balcony was not so ideal.

The high school girl who was being led by Sato Seiyu was not athletic. The Matsushima sisters had already passed by, but she was still standing on the railing, hesitating.

"Give me your hand! Just jump, I'll grab you!"

At that moment, the door was broken open, and the killer walked in carrying a giant axe the size of a normal person. With a terrifying aura, he raised the axe and ran towards the girl.

Seeing this, Xiaolan gritted her teeth and was about to go back and pull the girl away.

Conan's expression changed slightly. He broke free from Mori's arm and jumped down, twisting the button on his shoe while lightly tapping his belt with his finger.

A football the size of a fist was launched from the belt and instantly grew larger.

Seizing the opportunity, Conan's shoe crackled with electricity as he kicked out.

The soccer ball spun as it hurtled toward the murderer, but instead of stopping him as Conan had imagined, it exploded through a layer of mist, piercing the murderer's head and crashing into the wall.

"what!"

Fortunately, Conan's goal was ultimately achieved. The killer's head dispersed and stopped moving, allowing Sato Seiyu to successfully pull the girl away.

But it was clearly not that simple. The black mist gathered again, and after only three or four breaths, the killer was standing unharmed in the same spot.

It looked around at the people who had jumped onto the balconies of other rooms, then turned and rushed out of the room.

"Run!"

Conan shouted and led Mori and the others out, rushing all the way to the corridor.

The serial killer also came out, looked around, and then turned and chased after Sato Seiyu and his group.
