Ke Xue: He mastered the steel-cutting divine skill at the start.

This kind of place is obviously not suitable for long-term residence; it's just a place for vacations. It has to be said that rich people are just willful. They build a villa in such a secluded place, just to come for a vacation once every year or two, or even once every few years.

However, Miyazaki Hayao is now considered a very wealthy man. Although he doesn't have so much money that he can't spend it all, he definitely has a wealth that surpasses that of ordinary people.

Especially the territory of the Sword Masters' Guild, which is beyond the measure of money. There is also a large area of ​​buildings under construction there, which will be completed in just a little more time.

"See this? This is our destination, inside that villa. My sister holds her club gathering here every two years. Isn't it beautiful?"

Conan looked around and realized that Sonoko was right.

From the outside, the villa is grand and simple in design, with a touch of European style. Although it is no longer a popular style, it looks more charming.

“That’s true, but what I’m really looking forward to is the villa that Xiaoyu will build in the Sword Masters’ Club. It must be really nice there,” Xiaolan said with anticipation.

Sonoko chuckled and said, "Of course, this place can't compare to that place. I've already decided that I'm going to buy a small yacht and go boating on that lake, with Miyazaki's villa on one side and the natural lake on the other."

As the sun sets, I lie quietly on a deck chair, watching the beautiful sunset, sipping delicious red wine, and enjoying Miyazaki's cooking. Oh my, I can't even imagine it!

Conan rolled his eyes and thought to himself, "This woman really knows how to think. But I'd love for you to get together with that guy Miyazaki. That way, Ran should give up, right?"

As they chatted, the group walked toward the villa. The wooden bridge was quite dilapidated; the planks creaked underfoot, making them feel uneasy.

"Don't they ever repair the bridges here? How did they get into this state?"

As Sonoko complained, she became somewhat cautious, while Ran smiled slightly.

"I don't think there's anything wrong with it. Didn't you just say that your sister and several friends have already arrived? They got through without any problems, so we won't have any problems either. It's just that it's so strange."

Sonoko couldn't help but ask curiously, "What's wrong?"

Xiaolan turned to look at Miyazaki Yu with a puzzled expression: "Miyazaki, you're so strange. You should weigh more than most girls, and with your backpack, you should weigh close to 150 pounds. But when you walk on the wooden bridge, it's like you don't feel any weight at all, and you don't make a sound."

Rena interjected, "That's right, that's right, there wasn't a sound at all. You can't possibly be quieter than Conan. Conan makes a sound when he walks by."

After she finished speaking, the little girl suddenly understood.

"Miyazaki-nii, you haven't already mastered it, have you?"

The others became very curious, especially the gossip genius Sonoko. Miyazaki Yu had always been a kind of idol to her, which immediately piqued her curiosity.

What are you saying? Tell me quickly!

Rena pouted and said, "It's the Cat Mimicry Technique. To put it simply, it's about imitating a cat's movements to influence your own. Miyazaki-nii said before that if you succeed, you can be as agile and silent as a cat. It seems he has succeeded."

"This is absolutely insane! They said before that it would take a long time to research, but now they've already succeeded."

Miyazaki Yu tapped the little girl's head with his finger.

"You little brat, how dare you talk about me like that? If you say something like that, people will misunderstand me. Some difficult things are just that simple for geniuses."

He then turned to the crowd and said, "Actually, it's nothing. I just combined some lightness techniques with the way a cat walks to achieve this effect."

With a light leap, he landed on the rope on the side of the wooden bridge. Despite his tall stature, the rope only trembled slightly when he landed, without becoming taut, as if his body were extremely light, like a cat with no weight.

He then began walking directly on the thin rope. The rope was very old, yet it remained unchanged. Without exceptional control, such a rope would absolutely not be able to support a person's weight.

"Wow, that's amazing! It really looks like a cat."

Conan was speechless.

"What's wrong with this guy? It seems like there's nothing he can't do. He's becoming more and more inhuman. If he keeps training like this, he might be able to cut a rocket with a knife in the future. Just thinking about it is terrifying."

"This is indeed a technique I just mastered. I call it the Catwalk, and it took me a lot of effort. I can teach it to you when I have time in the future."

Sonoko and Ran were both overjoyed.

"Really? That's wonderful! If I had such agile movements, I would be unstoppable in tennis. Ran's karate skills would also greatly increase my power, and they're so elegant. They would definitely enhance my charm."

The group quickly arrived at the villa's door. After knocking, the door opened, revealing a girl with squinting eyes—it was Sonoko's older sister, Ayako Suzuki.

"You've finally arrived! We've been waiting for you for so long!"

Chapter 203 The Bizarre Gathering

Ayako Suzuki's hair is a rare brown color, which looks youthful and beautiful. She wears a pink headband, revealing her slightly wide forehead, and her slightly squinted eyes make her look even more gentle.

"Hello, Ms. Suzuki," Miyazaki Yu said.

Ayako Suzuki's eyes lit up: "You must be Miyazaki-kun? I always hear Sonoko mention you. She praises you to the skies."

Sonoko pouted and said, "This is no exaggeration. Miyazaki is one of the most outstanding men in the world, especially with his exceptional abilities. Anyone who becomes his girlfriend will be super safe."

She introduced the group, but it was really just Conan and Rena. As Sonoko's best friend, Ayako knew Ran very well, since Ran had been to the Suzuki's house many times since she was a child.

Ayako Suzuki covered her mouth and smiled, saying, "Okay, okay, I understand. Everyone, come in quickly."

After entering the villa, the group changed into slippers prepared by Ayako Suzuki, and Miyazaki Yu looked around the villa.

The villa's interior was not luxuriously decorated, but rather simple and elegant, with all kinds of furniture neatly arranged. The entire interior was comfortable without being ostentatious, but Miyazaki Yu could also tell that every piece of furniture was made of solid wood, and the materials used were all very precious.

This integration of luxury into daily life is the true essence of a large conglomerate. Those who put on a show of extravagance are mostly nouveau riche, while real conglomerates would never do such a thing.

True conglomerates have long since integrated wealth into their lives. Most of the things they use may seem ordinary, but once a discerning person enters their lives, they can discover the value of these things.

Having a keen eye is also a stepping stone to higher levels.

"Sister, none of your friends came?" Sonoko asked, seeing that no one was around.

Ayako smiled and said, "No, they've all arrived and are resting in their rooms on the second floor."

Sonoko laughed and said, "From what you said before, there are some handsome guys among these people, but of course they can't compare to Miyazaki's. But I'm still a little curious, I wonder what kind of men they are."

"You silly girl, you're always talking nonsense. They're all my friends from university clubs, don't go too far."

Sonoko pouted and suddenly asked, "Sister, among your friends, are there any with bandages wrapped around their faces?"

"A bandage wrapped around their face? Is someone injured? I don't think there are any here. None of them were injured when I looked at them earlier?"

Sonoko said strangely, "That's strange. We met a guy on the road whose face was wrapped in bandages. That guy's face was covered in bandages, and he looked really scary."

After hearing Sonoko's description, she also became very curious.

"Besides the two or three detached villas in front, you have to climb over the mountain to find other houses in this valley. Why is this person with bandages here?"

Conan, however, was getting a little impatient. The bandaged monster had nothing to do with him. He was exhausted after walking for so long on the mountain road.

"Oh, Sister Xiaolan, let's forget about the bandaged monster for now. Let's go and rest for a bit. I'm exhausted."

Ayako Suzuki smiled and said, "It seems our little ones are tired. Go and rest. Your rooms are on the second floor. By the way, the rooms in front are all occupied by them, so please be careful."

Sonoko nodded: "Okay, okay, let's go up quickly."

With that, she took the lead and walked upstairs. After turning the corner of the stairs, two rows of rooms facing each other came into view. After passing the first four rooms, Sonoko opened the door to one of them.

But then a scream followed.

"Oh! I'm sorry!"

She then closed the door behind her, her face slightly flushed, before glancing at the people who had come up.

"Sonoko, what's wrong?" Ran asked anxiously.

Sonoko quickly shook her head: "It's nothing, I just went into the wrong room. There should be a sign here, and it should be turned upside down after someone goes in, so I won't go into the wrong room."

Conan thought to himself, "Doesn't this woman know how to knock on the door? But then again, those people didn't take up the rooms in order, so it's no wonder Sonoko got it wrong."

Miyazaki Yu stepped forward and said, "Sonoko, the two rooms in front, this one, and the one at the very back are all occupied. I can hear them moving around."

Xiao Lan smiled and said, "You're so perceptive!"

But then she blushed and said, "If there's snoring next door, you can hear it too, right?"

Miyazaki Yu laughed and said, "I was afraid that Sonoko would pull the wrong door again, so I used all my senses. If I hadn't been going all out, I wouldn't have been able to hear such a subtle sound."

Xiaolan blushed and nodded. For the first time, she felt that this guy being too amazing wasn't necessarily a good thing. Although she didn't snore, she couldn't guarantee she wouldn't talk in her sleep. If he heard her, that would be terrible.

Then came the room allocation. There were eight rooms in total, and five of them were already occupied. So, only one person out of the five could have a room by himself, and the others would have to share a room with someone else.

"I want to share a room with Sister Xiaolan. It's so creepy here, I'm really scared."

Conan gave himself a thumbs up for his cleverness. This way, he could share a room with Ran. Although he couldn't do anything with her, it would be nice to see Ran sleeping.

Just as he was feeling smug, he was abruptly interrupted by a voice.

"I told you, you like Ran-neechan, but Ran-neechan likes Miyazaki-nii. You lecherous brat, come and share a room with me."

After Rena finished speaking, she ignored Conan's strong objections and pulled him towards a room.

In this way, Ran naturally ended up sharing a room with Sonoko, and the last room naturally went to Miyazaki Yu.

After the group entered the room, the entire villa fell into complete silence, and time passed slowly.

As dusk settled, dark clouds gathered, covering the entire sky. The forest rustled in the strong wind, all seemingly foreshadowing an impending storm.

And now everyone in the villa had finally gathered together.

At a long dining table, Miyazaki Yu sat at the head of the table on the left, followed by Sonoko, Ran Mouri, Rena, and Conan. Sonoko Suzuki sat opposite Miyazaki Yu, and the other four were Ayako Suzuki's friends.

"The five of us are all members of the university film club. Because we are members of the same club, we often rehearse and write scripts together, so we have a very good relationship."

This man over here is named Ota Masaru. He currently works as a car broker, and he was the one who played the male lead in the club's previous rehearsals.

The guy over here who loves photography is Hiroki Kakutani, and he currently works as a film magazine editor.

Then there's this chubby Ryoichi Takahashi, who now works in the food company's sales department. Don't let his size fool you, he's incredibly skillful. He made all the props for the club's performances before. And finally...

She fixed her gaze on the last woman, who was quite pretty with short, neat hair. Her purple top and necklace gave her a touch of mystery.

However, her lips were thin, which made her seem somewhat harsh.

"This is Chikako Ikeda. She's in charge of directing and screenwriting in the club, and she's also the club president."

At the same time, Ayako introduced the names of Miyazaki Hayao and the others to them.

Hearing this, Miyazaki Yu also revealed a mysterious smile on his face.

Just now, when Ayako was introducing Chikako Ikeda, he could clearly feel a murderous intent rising up. The target of the murderous intent was obviously Chikako Ikeda, who was still full of energy at the moment.

No one knew that this gathering would open the cage of evil.

The devil is stirring!

Chapter 204 The Attack of the Bandaged Man

"I just heard from Ayako that Miyazaki is still a high school student. What a pity. A student is still a student and still needs to ask his family for money."
