The Pirated Onmyoji of the Detective World

However, just as she was about to squeeze out of the crevice, she found that her chest was stuck in the crevice and she could not move for a moment.

Koizumi Akako: ∑(O_O；)

She struggled desperately, waving her hands wildly and kicking her feet, but the crevice was like an unbreakable cage, unmoving at all. Instead, each struggle only made her more tightly trapped.

The next second, her voice involuntarily became panicked, "Akira... Akira! Quick, come help me!"

Under Aragaki Yu's suspicious gaze, Koizumi Akako's face flushed crimson, a burning sense of shame welling up from the depths of her heart. She bit her lip, hesitated for several seconds, and then stammered, "My chest...it's stuck..."

If she could, Koizumi Akako would want to disappear into a crack in the ground right now, even though she's currently stuck in one.

Unexpectedly, her usual pride became a burden at this moment.

Fortunately, with the help and pulling of Yuu Aragaki, Akako Koizumi finally broke free from the crevice.

After being rescued, Koizumi Akako kept her head down, her disheveled hair obscuring her slightly flushed face, and stammered with an awkward laugh, "Hahaha, what an accident..."

Yuu Aragaki gave Akako Koizumi a cold look, but of course, not wanting to further enrage her, he didn't say anything more.

However, his gaze unconsciously fell on the "culprit" that caused everything.

Because she was soaked to the bone by the waterfall when she passed through the crevice, her clothes clung tightly to her skin.

Especially after the fabric of her top was soaked by the rain, it became semi-transparent, revealing glimpses of the skin underneath, with an alluring pinkish hue.

A few drops of water slid slowly down her fair neck, past her delicate collarbone, and disappeared into her slightly heaving chest.

Looking down, her short skirt clung tightly to her long, slender legs, outlining their smooth lines. From her rounded thighs to her slender calves and delicate ankles, every part exuded youthful charm.

Soon, Koizumi Akako noticed that Aragaki Yuna's gaze lingered on her for a moment.

After glancing down, Koizumi Akako finally realized her situation, and her face turned deathly red.

With her arms crossed over her chest, she stared at Aragaki Yuu, seemingly weighing the pros and cons of "killing him to silence him."

He only gave up on the plan after Aragaki Yu voluntarily ran away and Koizumi Akako changed into clean clothes from the storage gem.

Of course, while Koizumi Akako was changing her clothes, Aragaki Yu also took off his clothes and trousers, asked the little tengu to dry them, and then put them back on.

After all, wearing wet clothes all the time would make you feel uncomfortable, even if you weren't worried about catching a cold.

……

After Koizumi Akako used magic to illuminate the entire space, the two were finally able to see the entire stone chamber clearly.

The interior of the stone chamber is not particularly large, probably only about a hundred square meters.

Perhaps because the stone chamber is hidden behind the waterfall, the surrounding stone walls appear somewhat damp, visibly covered with moss, and clinging to them are withered vines. The vines intertwine and cover most of the stone walls of the chamber.

Looking around, beneath the vines on the stone walls, there seemed to be some indistinguishable patterns and symbols. Their lines were ancient and mysterious, but Yuu Aragaki could not understand their meaning at all.

"We've walked such a long distance through the cracks in the rocks, we should have passed through the bluestone long ago, and we're probably in that cliff now."

As he muttered to himself, Aragaki Yu walked over to Koizumi Akako, who was still examining the patterns and symbols on the stone wall.

"Ah."

Koizumi Akako gave a soft "hmm" without turning her head.

Whether it was because they were still dwelling on the previous events or pondering the contents of the stone wall, they did not offer any further response.

"Is this the place we're looking for?"

Aragaki Yu seemed somewhat puzzled.

The walls of this stone chamber are covered with moss and traces of erosion over time. Although there are indeed some traces of human intervention, they don't seem to be anything special.

After all, apart from the patterns and symbols on the stone walls, the entire stone chamber was empty and did not look like it contained any treasure.

The snow woman, who had already flown back to his side, searched the stone chamber carefully but found nothing unusual.

But it makes sense. Although this stone chamber is located in a remote mountain area and is quite hidden, it's not impossible that someone might discover it by chance after so many years.

It wouldn't be surprising if the treasure inside had already been discovered by someone else.

However, Koizumi Akako did not think so.

Soon, as Koizumi Akako was browsing through the contents of the stone wall, her eyes suddenly lit up.

She finally discovered a place that was different from others.

In the lower right corner of a stone wall, there is a rock with a texture that is slightly different from the surrounding rocks.

She took two steps forward with slight excitement, squatted down, and gently brushed away the moss on the surface of the rock. Sure enough, she found patterns on the rock wall that were completely different from those in other places.

The content on this stone wall is very similar to the nebula pattern on the map in Koizumi Akako's hand.

Upon close observation, one can discover a specific pattern among these symbols.

After pondering for a moment, Koizumi Akako channeled her magic into the nebula pattern on the stone wall, following the order of the Big Dipper.

As expected, her guess was correct.

All the patterns and symbols on the entire stone wall point to this special place.

And this place is precisely where the true treasure trove is located.

As Koizumi Akako's magic illuminated the nebula on the stone wall, a slight tremor resounded throughout the stone chamber, as if a giant beast that had been dormant for many years was beginning to awaken.

Just after Koizumi Akako lit up the entire Big Dipper pattern on the stone wall, the four stone walls of the stone chamber began to faintly shimmer with a ghostly light.

Every pattern and symbol engraved on the stone wall shimmers with light.

The next moment, to Aragaki Yu's astonishment, with a muffled roar, the stone wall in front of him began to slowly crack open to both sides.

As the gate slowly opened, a dark cave leading deeper into the stone chamber appeared before Aragaki Yu and Koizumi Akako.

Chapter 611 Ai Haibara is Sick

After finding the hidden second layer of the cave.

Without any further incidents, Aragaki Yu and Koizumi Akako quickly found the treasure in the cave.

It was a rather strange stone box, about a foot long, carved from a single piece of unknown dark stone.

The stone surface is rough and cold to the touch; even without getting close enough to sniff it, you can smell an aura of decay and antiquity.

The lid of the box is engraved with intricate and mysterious patterns, ancient star-like runes with twisted and meandering lines.

At each of the four corners of the treasure chest stood a beast-shaped sculpture. They were neither dragons nor beasts, with twisted horns, wide-open eyes, and gemstones embedded in their pupils that emitted a ghostly glow, gleaming coldly in the dim light, as if constantly monitoring everything around them. Their gaping maws and fangs seemed poised to devour any intruders at any moment.

On either side of the stone box are two enormous python reliefs, intertwined with each other, their scales carved with lifelike detail, even the finest textures clearly visible. The cold stone exudes a chilling sense of oppression, as if it might come to life at any moment, fiercely guarding the secret within the box.

The box had no obvious keyhole, but a diamond-shaped crystal that emitted a faint glow was inlaid in the center of the front.

Inside the crystal, Yuu Aragaki vaguely sensed a strange, flowing light slowly moving about, like a shifting nebula, or perhaps a soul struggling within it.

Unable to find a way to open the stone box immediately, the two discussed it and decided to return to Japan first.

After all, this place is not a place to stay for long, and besides, we just killed a Death Eater nearby. If the main body comes looking for us, it will be bad.

Therefore, after erasing all traces left by the two, Koizumi Akako returned to Japan with Aragaki Yu.

As for the mysterious stone box, it was temporarily taken back by Koizumi Akako.

Once she figures out how to open the box, she will naturally inform Aragaki Yu.

……

Unexpectedly, as soon as he returned to the office, Aragaki Yu received a call from Professor Agasa.

Professor Agasa rarely contacts him directly by phone.

Aragaki Yu didn't hesitate much and quickly answered the phone.

Unexpectedly, Dr. Agasa sounded rather anxious on the phone.

"..."

After a flustered explanation from Professor Agasa, Yuu Aragaki finally understood the situation.

It turns out that Ai Haibara suddenly fell ill with a fever, and Professor Agasa took Ai Haibara and Conan to a clinic near the department store for treatment. However, they happened to encounter a murder case in the underground parking lot.

The police have cordoned off the crime scene, and due to certain special circumstances, Professor Agasa and Ai Haibara are now trapped in their car in the parking lot. They hope that Yuu Aragaki can find a way to help them.

Aragaki Yu naturally agreed.

Ai Haibara.

Get ill.

Underground Parking Lot.

As he packed his things after hanging up the phone, Aragaki Yu raised an eyebrow, pondering the keywords Professor Agasa had just mentioned.

He seemed to have some vague recollection of this.

After hesitating for a moment, Aragaki Yu decided to abandon his plan to have Miyano Akemi drive.

After all, Akemi Miyano still cares about her "little sister" Ai.

If she finds out that Ai is sick, who knows how worried that guy will be.

Yuu Aragaki certainly didn't want to encounter any accidents on the way before he even picked up the person.
