Chapter 364 Brain Teasers for Children

Mori took the book and began to flip through it.

This is a small book, about an inch thick, with a black mist that looks like mud swirling on its surface. When I first found it, it had a simple drawing of a mermaid on it, with the title "Little Mermaid" made up of sparkling sequins.

But after it was opened, the title changed to another word composed of familiar, twisted red letters.

"Children's Brain Teasers and Riddles?"

Beneath the book title, which was slowly distorted by the airflow, were three unsettling hearts.

"Is this the clue given in the painting?" Mori touched his beard, which he had just shaved this morning but already had some stubble growing back, and asked with some confusion, "Are we supposed to answer the questions in this book?"

No paper or pen was provided, but it seemed to have a voice input function, with words appearing in response to external sounds.

Most likely, you'll just have to read out the answers to the riddles above.

The question has a dark fairy tale feel to it, asking why the Little Mermaid was killed by the prince she admired when she came ashore.

As a father, Kogoro Mouri still has some memories of fairy tales, after all, he would occasionally want to read a bedtime story to Ran when she was little.

If he remembered correctly, the Little Mermaid was able to gain legs because she made a deal with a sea nymph and drank the nymph's potion.

If one does not find true love, one will vanish into thin air and disappear from the world. But the prince was tricked by a substitute and mistakenly married someone else.

The witch said she could exchange the prince's life for a chance to live, but the Little Mermaid refused and turned into sea foam, dying thereafter.

A typical story of a wronged child.

Based on the title, it's likely that the prince, unaware of the truth, was instigated by the fake mermaid to kill her.

but!

Kogoro Mouri always felt that things weren't that simple, after all, a normal fairy tale wouldn't have such a dark ending where the protagonist is killed.

That's how dark fairy tales develop, if you think about it that way...

"I know, it's because the witch tricked the mermaid. Her potion only made the little mermaid believe she had turned into a human, but in the prince's eyes, she was just a monster from the deep sea!"

As Mori narrated, the words appeared on the pages of the book.

"mistake!"

The red writing instantly covered up Mori's answer.

Immediately afterwards, the book closed automatically without any wind, revealing its cover.

On the cover, the three stars that seemed to be decorative suddenly jolted, and one of them shattered.

The group was startled and immediately realized that this was probably their last chance to answer.

Upon reopening the book, a line of small print appeared below the title.

"Correct answer: Because the Little Mermaid turned into a black man and broke into the prince's house, she was beaten to death."

"Huh?! What kind of reason is that?" Mori was furious. "What makes you insist that the Little Mermaid is black?"

As soon as this sentence was uttered, the words on the book began to twist: "Because at that time, the most common people who fell into the sea were black slaves from the triangular trade, the little mermaid naturally thought that people looked like this, otherwise she wouldn't have thought the white prince was special."

"..."

There was silence.

What kind of hellish joke is this? Is this really a brain teaser?

If your child grows up watching this, then you've got something special for life, right?
Now everyone feels they have some idea of ​​why the murderer from years ago wanted the entire estate owner's family.

As the mystery was solved, the pages turned again, revealing the next question.

Where is the world's largest bubble tea shop?

"I know the answer to this question!" Yuanzi raised her hand.

She did know that; she had just come across related news not long ago.

"Los Angeles, USA!" The world's largest recorded bubble tea cup has appeared at the 626 Night Market in Los Angeles, USA. The cup is over 180 centimeters tall and has a capacity of approximately 1.7 tons!
"mistake."

Health points decreased by one again.

"Correct answer: The Atlantic Ocean, Boston Tea Party, the Great Depression milk dumping, and the black slaves left behind by the triangular trade make up the world's largest bubble tea, which is also sea salt flavored."

"...It's also related to the previous question, right?"

Kogoro Mouri sighed deeply, then squatted down, burying his face in his hands.

What kind of brain teasers are these?
Question: Snow White is the most loved person in the world, but what does Snow White's sister have that Snow White doesn't?

The question arose, but no one dared to step forward and answer it.

If those red hearts represent health points, then their health is already as fragile as a candle flickering in the wind.

Although no one knows what will happen when their health reaches zero, even the worst-case scenario of "not being able to get this piece of corpse" is something that no one can bear.

Conan's glasses reflected a slight light, and his brain began to work at lightning speed.

He remembered the story of Snow White clearly. Just as the title suggests, Snow White was indeed showered with love and affection.

So what is it that she doesn't have but her sister does?
witchcraft?

After all, the stepmother queen knew black magic, so it's normal for her daughter to know a little bit too.

With the answer laid out for now, Conan continued to ponder.

It should be even darker... Could it be... chastity?
After all, in the original story, Snow White lived with the seven dwarfs for so long...

Conan blushed, shook his head, and dismissed the answer.

Judging from the previous answers, this riddle, though quirky, isn't vulgar either, so it's probably more likely than virginity or first kiss.

After all, the prince kissed Snow White to wake her up.

But that wouldn't fit the style of Hell...

Just then, Conan had a flash of inspiration.

"I know, it's Mom!" Conan shouted. "Snow White's mother is dead!"

"?"

Everyone suddenly turned to look at Conan: "Conan...you?"

Conan realized that what he said was a bit too vulgar, and his face turned red again.

"Correct answer!"

"It's really correct?!"

Kogoro Mori closed his eyes in pain.

Oh no... another child has been corrupted by this book of children's brain teasers...

The thought that this person is still living in my house is like a demon child being born!

As Conan answered the question correctly, the small book, which was shrouded in a black, muddy mist, suddenly collapsed into a black hole and disappeared.

Instead, a bone grew out of thin air.

One by one, bones slowly emerged, and then flesh and skin grew out of the air like climbing plants, transforming into a severed leg that fell into Conan's hand.

It was warm to the touch, as if it had just been dismembered, which gave Conan, who was used to seeing dead people, a chill down his spine, but he couldn't throw it away.

"At least we got it..."

Before Conan could finish speaking, black text reappeared in the air.

Someone has found another fragment to sacrifice!
