I'm in Detective Conan, and I start with the Grand Theft Auto system.

Chikako Ikeda got exhausted after dancing for a while.

She probably doesn't exercise much, but after only half an hour of dancing to the music, a thin layer of sweat appeared on her forehead, and her breathing became a little rapid.

She waved to the person next to her, saying "Take a break, take a break," and then turned and walked towards the rest area on the other side of the terrace.

It's very quiet over there.

The lighting was soft, and there were several rattan sofas and a recliner around the room. A pot of lemonade that had gone cold was on a small round table next to it.

It's like a quiet island deliberately isolated from the bustling center.

Chikako Ikeda lay down on the recliner, let out a long sigh, and closed her eyes.

She had barely lain down when she felt a figure approaching.

Hiroki Kakutani, holding a glass of iced water, stood beside the recliner with a deliberately ingratiating yet forcedly natural smile, his back slightly bent, his tone ingratiating:

"Are you tired? Would you like me to massage your shoulders or loosen your legs?"

Chikako Ikeda opened her eyes and glanced at him sideways.

Of course she knew what Hiroki Kakutani was thinking.

He pursued her for four years in college, and even after graduation, he didn't give up. At every gathering, he would fawn over her like a well-trained dog.

She never really took Hiroki Kakutani seriously, but she never explicitly rejected him either.

the reason is simple!

Having someone who can serve you tea and water anytime, anywhere, offer comfort and care, and be available whenever you need them is indeed very convenient.

She thought about it and decided that she should give him a little treat every now and then, and keep him on that rope so that it wouldn't break.

She rolled over and lay face down on the recliner, saying lazily, "Okay! Give me a shoulder massage. Don't go too hard."

Hiroki Kakutani's face instantly lit up with a look of affirmation. He quickly rubbed his hands together and stepped forward, placing his hands on Chikako Ikeda's shoulders and beginning to massage them gently.

The technique was alright, the force was just right, and Ikeda Chikako let out a comfortable hum.

A gentle night breeze blew by. She closed her eyes, her breathing gradually became steady and long, and her consciousness began to sink deeper and deeper.

Just as she was about to fall asleep, the hands on her shoulders suddenly stopped.

Chikako Ikeda waited for a few seconds in a daze.

There was no movement.

The warmth in my hands disappeared.

She frowned, muttering impatiently, "Why did you stop pressing? Keep going—"

no respond.

A sudden, inexplicable unease welled up inside her, and she abruptly opened her eyes and looked up.

Then it was as if she had been struck by lightning from head to toe.

She saw a huge black bear.

The black bear was standing right behind Hiroki Kakutani.

It has already bitten Hiroki Kakutani's head.

The headless body remained standing, swaying slightly like a broken tree branch before collapsing to the ground with a thud.

Chikako Ikeda's brain seemed to have been muted in that instant.

She heard no sound of the black bear chewing, no sound of its body falling to the ground, no sound of her own heart pounding like it was about to explode!

The black bear continued until it swallowed some of what was in its mouth, letting out a low, satisfied gurgle.

She finally tumbled off the deck chair, scrambled to her feet, and ran while screaming, "Help!!"

The black bear was startled by her scream.

It swung its massive head violently, letting out a low growl, and charged at Chikako Ikeda on all fours.

When it runs, it is about 1.6 meters tall, and its limbs are as thick as four tree trunks.

Each step on the wooden floor produced a dull, vibrating sound, like a small truck without a muffler accelerating.

Conan was the first to hear the scream.

He leaped over the edge of the pool, walked barefoot across the ground, and circled the corner of the terrace.

Then he abruptly stopped, his pupils shrinking to the size of pinpoints.

Bear!!

Black bear!

It's still a big black bear!

It's already almost 1.6 meters tall when it's running, and if it stands upright on its hind legs, it would probably be more than 2 meters tall!

He involuntarily took a half step back, swallowed hard, and his limbs trembled uncontrollably!

At this time, the others also circled around the corner of the terrace and came to this area.

Upon seeing this, Xiaolan involuntarily stopped and let out a short, sharp gasp.

Sonoko followed behind, frozen in place as if someone had doused her with a bucket of ice water.

Ayako Suzuki covered her mouth, her eyes wide open.

Ota Masaru was the last to arrive.

After glancing at the black bear chasing Chikako Ikeda, the color drained from his face instantly, and his voice trembled as if it were about to crack:

"No, wait—how could there be a black bear here?! Isn't this a resort?!"

Xiaolan clenched her fists, her body tensing involuntarily. She subconsciously took a step forward, wanting to rush forward.

She couldn't bear to watch someone get mauled to death by a bear right in front of her.

Sonoko and Ayako were so frightened that their bodies stiffened and their legs were too weak to move. They could only stand there and watch as the huge black bear got closer and closer to Chikako Ikeda.

Lin Shen also saw the bear, and he was also taken aback.

In the afternoon, Conan said that a famous Japanese figure would appear here, and it actually happened!

He glanced at Conan and thought to himself that the kid was a jinx, always bringing bad luck to everyone!

His first reaction was very direct: he wanted to get a gun from the system space.

However, Lin Shen stopped just as he was about to do so.

He was only wearing a pair of swimming trunks. That was all he was wearing.

In this situation, what if he suddenly pulled a gun out of his waistband like a magician?

That was like revealing all your cards in front of everyone!

Even a fool could tell he had something wrong with him.

He hesitated for a tenth of a second before putting his hand down.

He wasn't familiar with Chikako Ikeda, so there was no need for him to expose his secret for her sake!

"Help!!!" Chikako Ikeda cried out in despair once again.

She was wearing high heels and couldn't run fast. She twisted her left ankle, lost her balance, and fell onto the grass.

The black bear was less than five meters away from her, letting out a deep roar, and its huge shadow loomed over her.

When Xiaolan saw this, her body tensed up, and she rushed out almost instinctively.

However, she had only taken one step when someone pulled her back.

Lin Shen's arm wrapped around her waist like an iron hoop, pulling her back.

Ran struggled, her voice trembling with anxiety: "Let me go! Miss Ikeda—"

Lin Shen didn't let up, his tone tinged with a mixture of exasperation and amusement: "You actually dared to rush in? It's a bear, not a wildcat!"

"You're being way too reckless!"

Ran's eyes welled up with tears: "But Miss Ikeda is in danger!"

Lin Shen shoved her behind him and said simply, "We can't risk getting ourselves involved."

After he finished speaking, his gaze was fixed on the black bear again.

"Yeah, yeah!!" Conan was also startled by Ran's actions.

He hadn't expected Xiaolan to be so brave!

They actually charged straight up!
