Conan: Death is Watching Me

Chapter 98 There is no ghost in this world
into the night.

Gao Mo was holding a reference book and reading it beside the bed amid the howling wind and snow.

The notes only mentioned "Eagle Vision", but he felt that "Death Perception" was his first superpower and was much more important than "Eagle Vision".

In this dangerous world, if he didn't have the "sense of death", he would probably be in constant fear and anxiety. How could he have the leisure time to travel?

Not to mention running to various crime scenes.

Gao Mo looked up at the private villa covered in wind and snow.

I can still vaguely see the lights.

It’s already this late and nothing seems to have happened. Is there really no ghosts in this world?
Or is it that his "death perception" is ineffective against that thing?
……

Xiao Ai's room.

Even though they were getting ready for bed, no one turned off the lights.

Yuanzi huddled in the quilt, shivering as he listened to the sound of the wind and snow outside the window. From time to time, he glanced at the dark outdoors, then quickly hunched his neck again, seeming to mutter something.

Xiao Ai, who was also very worried, drooped her eyelids in silence.

This woman...

He had just been saying something about protecting her and telling Gao Mo to rest assured, but this time his reaction was even greater than hers.

It was clearly her who saw that thing.

Who is protecting whom?
After a while, the sound of Yuanzi's gentle breathing could be heard - she fell into a deep sleep out of fear.

"..."

Xiao Ai sighed softly and looked at Yuanzi who was falling asleep quickly, and suddenly felt tired.

At this moment, the wind and snow outside seemed to stop for a moment, and the surroundings suddenly became quiet, but looking out the window, the blizzard was still going on.

The black cat lying beside the bed stretched its neck and suddenly turned its head to look out the window as if frightened.

"call!"

As the lights in the room dimmed, a black shadow suddenly twisted into shape.

Xiao Ai's breathing became heavier. She stared at the window and wanted to shout, but her neck seemed to be strangled and she couldn't make any sound.

Countless blood-red lines formed the outline of a fat man, bloody handprints were stuck to the window, and black hole-like eyes stared straight at Xiao Ai, and then the evil figure passed directly through the window.

The whole world became pitch black, the garden disappeared, the room disappeared... It was as if I was being pulled into hell.

There was a flurry of meaningless mumbling.

"I died a horrible death... My lungs were punctured and I couldn't breathe. That woman..."

"Meow--!"

A sharp cat cry exploded.

The black cat jumped in front of Ai with its fur standing on end, but was completely unable to stop the evil spirit from approaching. Its pair of spiritual cat eyes widened in despair.

"I feel so bad, I..."

The evil spirit's black line expanded.

As the terror pounced down, it suddenly trembled, its body stretched out, as if being pulled by something, and it screamed and was pulled towards the door.

"what!!!"

"What's wrong?" Gao Mo yawned and opened the door. As soon as he entered, he saw Xiao Ai and the black cat with terrified faces.

The window was ajar, and cold wind blew in.

"Another ghost?"

Gao Mo looked suspiciously at Xiao Ai and the black cat hugging each other, and reluctantly went forward to close the window.

He really couldn't feel anything.

Could it be that Ai is hallucinating?
Come to think of it, it seems like things became like this after this cat appeared.

"Is this cat causing trouble?"

Gao Mo looked at the black cat again, but when he got closer, he saw Xiao Ai and the black cat retreating at the same time.

As if afraid of him.

"Is there something wrong with me?" Gao Mo stopped in confusion.

Xiao Ai hugged the black cat tighter and shook her head repeatedly in response.

"Chiroto," Xiao Ai's mind was a little confused, and she looked around at Gao Mo blankly, "Are you okay?"

"What can happen to me?"

Gao Mo suddenly noticed a faint light projection above Xiao Ai's head.

【Amo is safe and sound】

?

The black cat also had a "meow meow meow" on it. Turning to the sleeping Sonoko nearby, the same projected text appeared: "Find an opportunity to be alone with Kido-nii and force yourself on him."

? ?
Why did the task suddenly become active?

I tried it again in silence, and I could see the projected text as long as I focused.

It was exactly the same situation as at the crime scene before.

"You guys... go to sleep first, call me if you need anything."

Gao Mo thought and left the room.

The wind and snow outside were stronger than during the day, and the condition of the private villa was completely invisible.

We can only wait until daybreak to see what happens.

As for task extraction... don't worry, let's figure out the situation first.

……

The blizzard didn't last long and began to subside in the early morning.

When Gao Mo got up in the morning, the snow had stopped and the wind had died down. The sky was clear and the world covered in silver was silent. The outline of the distant mountains could be clearly seen.

Open the window and look at the luxurious villa in the snow forest.

Last night the young man was clearing snow from his car and seemed to be preparing to leave.

Is it too peaceful?

Gao Mo walked out of the room in confusion.

The door opposite was open.

Yuanzi was still sleeping, with the quilt kicked aside, and she looked like a child.

Xiao Ai seemed to get up and go downstairs.

The sounds of busyness in the kitchen can be heard.

When traveling, I can still catch him waking up...

Gao Mo went downstairs and took a look at the kitchen.

Compared to last night, Xiao Ai's complexion has completely recovered and she has returned to her normal self.

The child's body is full of maturity, and in comparison, the garden upstairs seems to be the child.

"Xiao Ai, I'm going to visit the next door first and come back for dinner later."

Gao Mo said hello, put on his rain boots and went out.

So cold.

Gao Mo exhaled a breath of cold air, put his hands in his pockets, and walked towards the snow forest on the snow, his feet making a constant creaking sound.

When he was a child, he loved walking on the snow. He would walk wherever there was more snow, but he doesn't have the mood to do so now.

After about 5 minutes, we turned a corner and saw the gate of the villa.

The young man had already started the car, and only when he saw Gao Mo did he roll down the window: "Mr. Shiroto? What's the matter so early?"

"I just came over to take a look."

A new text projection appeared in Gao Mo's vision - [Hurry up and find a new teacher].

"I don't know your name yet? Sorry, yesterday..."

"It's okay," the young man said, brushing aside his long hair with a nonchalant expression. A glimpse of his forehead revealed a worrying amount of hair. "My name is Ginji Tobita. I just transferred to Oyama-sensei's department three years ago from another professor with no future. I'm certainly not as talented and eye-catching as Nakahara."

"No, you are a top student in the medical department of the University of Tokyo, you are already excellent enough," Gao Mo casually checked the status of the car, "Where are you going, Doctor Feitian, so early in the morning?"

"Oh, there's something going on at school."

The young man felt quite sad.

"Originally, the teacher had the opportunity to become the next department head, and we would have had a promising future. But in the end... Alas, I really didn't have that blessing."

"Dean?"

"Yes, the department has been discussing the medical paper that the teacher published recently. The position of department head is almost certain to be yours, so we thought we'd come here to celebrate in advance and show our support to the teacher."

The young man's face became more and more annoyed and depressed.

"Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore. If Mr. Kido is looking for Nakahara, she should be in the kitchen..."

"Who specifically proposed the celebration?" Gao Mo asked curiously.

"Well, it was the teacher who asked us to come here, but I'm not sure who suggested it," the young man laughed dryly. "The police also asked such questions. Could it be that Mr. Kido also suspects us?"

"I'm just more interested in reasoning."

"The next drama is a mystery drama? If Mr. Oyama were still alive, he would definitely be very happy. He loves mystery and romance the most."
