Detective Conan: Birth of the Demon Child

For Suzuki Seimei, the more of this special item, the better.

After all, Suzuki Seimei was not an orphan in his life; he had both parents and two older sisters.

If the opportunity arises in the future, Suzuki Seimei will try to use the "Twin Pact" on Sonoko and the others to find them a long-lived species such as a dragon or an elf as their contract partner.

I just don't know if mythical creatures like dragons actually exist in this world.

After dinner, led by Aikawa Touya, the group went to the basement of the mansion.

The luxuriously decorated basement not only has recreational equipment such as pool tables and game consoles, but also plenty of snacks and toys.

The charity galas hosted by Su Fanghongzi were all held in this mansion where she lived.

To prevent guests attending the charity gala from getting bored, Su Fanghongzi specially had the spacious basement transformed into a leisure and entertainment venue.

At Aikawa Touya's suggestion, Kogoro Mouri and the other grown men started playing billiards together.

Meanwhile, Seimei Suzuki and Conan sat in front of the game console and played a fighting game.

As for Ran Mouri and Ai Haibara, they ran up to Haruka Nagara and curiously asked him to use tarot cards to tell their fortunes.

Su Fanghongzi, due to her advanced age and poor sleep, took sleeping pills early and went to her room to rest.

Chapter 245 Let's see who dies first (Second update, please vote)

Leisure time always flies by, and before you know it, it's midnight.

"I apologize for interrupting your enjoyment."

Just as everyone was having fun, the twin maids suddenly came over, bowed slightly to Suzuki Seimei and the others, and said: "Distinguished guests, there is an unwritten rule in this mansion that the masquerade hall will be locked at midnight every day."

Once the masquerade hall is locked, the east and west wing rooms can no longer be connected to each other.

Therefore, we must ask everyone to return to their rooms and rest before proceeding. We appreciate your cooperation.

Suzuki Haruaki asked with some curiosity, "Is there some explanation for this rule?"

"Because the masks of Shambles have always liked to play pranks, they would run out to play as soon as midnight was over, so we had to lock them in the masquerade room."

Upon hearing the twin maids' explanation, Ran Mouri's face instantly turned pale.

A chill ran down Ran Mouri's spine, and she instinctively pulled Ai Haibara into her arms, her smile stiff as she said, "They...they'll come out and play by themselves..."

"That's utter nonsense!"

Upon hearing this, Kogoro Mouri and Conan couldn't help but roll their eyes.

"It's true, because every time it gets light, those masks either tilt to the left or right, or they fall to the ground. This has happened far too many times in the past."

The twin maids explained earnestly, then bowed slightly to everyone and said, "Therefore, we will have to trouble you all. You can now prepare to go back to your rooms to rest."

Although Kogoro Mouri and his companions didn't believe in such nonsense as the Cursed Mask, they went along with it.

Since this was a rule set by Su Fanghongzi, the guests couldn't disobey it, so they all went back to their rooms to rest.

Compared to Kogoro Mouri and his friends who only believe in science, Ran Mouri is skeptical about the legend of the Cursed Mask.

In order to gain some sense of security, Ran Mouri simply used the excuse of wanting to chat with Ai Haibara to bring her to her bedroom, intending to sleep with her that night.

"Snoring..."

On the other side, Kogoro Mouri slept very well; he fell asleep almost as soon as his head hit the pillow.

However, Kogoro Mouri's loud snoring made things difficult for Seimei Suzuki and Conan, who shared a room with him.

"Conan, are you asleep?"

"not yet."

Because Kogoro Mouri's snoring was so loud, Seimei Suzuki and Conan were unable to fall asleep until 2 a.m.

Haruaki Suzuki suggested, "How about we chat for a while?"

"Alright then..."

"Ding ding ding..."

Before Conan could finish speaking, a piercing phone ring suddenly sounded, startling the two children.

Kogoro Mouri was also startled awake by the ringing of the phone. He instinctively sat up in bed, looking sleepy, and asked, "What happened?"

Seimei Suzuki was the first to run to the phone, turn on the speakerphone, and pick up the receiver to ask, "Hello! Who is this?"

"I am the messenger of the Cursed Mask, the Cursed Mask is now..."

As soon as Suzuki Harumi finished speaking, a hoarse voice came through the telephone receiver, and the tone was particularly sinister.

"The messenger of the Cursed Mask? Then I'm still the Giant of Light, Ultraman Tiga!"

Before the person on the other end of the phone could finish speaking, Suzuki Haruaki suddenly burst out cursing, "Why are you making these harassing phone calls in the middle of the night instead of sleeping? Are you out of your mind? Can't you talk about it tomorrow?"

"Beep beep..."

Hearing the dial tone from the phone receiver, Aikawa Touya was completely dumbfounded.

What's going on?

Are all kids these days so short-tempered?

Oh right! It's almost 2 a.m., and calling at this hour and waking them up is bound to make them grumpy.

Thinking about it that way, it's understandable...bullshit!

"Idiot! What are you doing?"

Seeing this, Kogoro Mouri and Conan were almost driven to the brink of madness by Seimei Suzuki's bizarre actions.

Even if you want to hang up, you have to wait for the other person to finish speaking!

"Ding ding ding..."

Upon hearing the phone ring again, Kogoro Mori quickly stopped Haruaki Suzuki and grabbed the receiver before he could.

"I am the messenger of the Cursed Mask. The Cursed Mask thirsts for blood. Who will become our sacrifice? We must hurry or it will be too late!"

Lan Chuan Dongya finished speaking at an extremely fast pace, and then decisively hung up the phone.

As long as I hang up quickly enough, the other party won't have a chance to hang up on me.

"Beep beep..."

"What's going on?"

Hearing the dial tone coming from the phone receiver, Kogoro Mouri felt uneasy.

Conan was the first to react, his expression changing drastically as he exclaimed, "Uncle Mori, something terrible has happened! Ran and the others might be in danger!"

"Bang bang bang..."

Upon hearing this, Kogoro Mouri hurriedly opened the door and rushed out, banging loudly on the door next door: "Ran, open the door quickly!"

(__)(-.-)(~o~)……

Soon, Ran Mouri and Ai Haibara, still in their pajamas, opened the door, yawning, and asked sleepily, "Dad, what happened?"

"It's good that you're all alright. The others might be in danger. We need to go and meet up with the others."

Seeing that Ran and the others were safe and sound, Kogoro Mouri breathed a sigh of relief and turned to call out, "Conan, Seimei, hurry up and wake up Honomi and have her bring the key to the masquerade room."

"understood."

When Suzuki Seimei and Conan woke up Shimokasa Honomi and had her use the key to open the door to the masquerade hall, everyone was surprised to find that all two hundred Shoble masks had disappeared.

"Waaaaah..."

A strange whimpering sound suddenly came from upstairs, causing everyone present to change their expressions drastically.

Directly above the masquerade hall is Su Fang Hongzi's dormitory. Considering the strange phone call just now, she is very likely in danger.

"Oh no! Ms. Su Fang is in danger!"

“Mr. Mori, you can’t get up there.”

Just as Kogoro Mouri was about to rush up the stairs to the third floor, he was stopped by Honomi Shimokasa. She hurriedly explained, "The only way to get to the teacher's bedroom is through the stairs in the west wing. I'll go and ask Minaho to open the door."

"What happened?"

"What are you making so much noise in the middle of the night instead of sleeping?"

Katagiri Masaki and the others were also awakened by the commotion outside, and they all came out of their bedrooms in their pajamas.

"Teacher Su Fang, there might be danger!"

"What did you say?!"

Upon learning that Su Fang Hongzi might be in danger, the group of people who had been woken up stopped complaining and hurriedly followed Kogoro Mouri and the others up to the third floor.

"Bang bang bang..."

Kogoro Mori pounded on the door and called out anxiously, "Ms. Su Fang, are you alright? Open the door quickly!"

Seeing that Su Fang Hongzi did not respond for a long time, Kogoro Mouri and Conan had a bad feeling.

Seeing this, Suzuki Seimei quickly called out to Mouri Ran, "Ran-neechan, quickly kick the door open with your karate!"

"Dad, get out of the way!"

Ran Mouri nodded, then suddenly exerted force with both feet, raising her right leg high like a battle axe and kicking it hard against the door.
