Detective Conan: Birth of the Demon Child

?(????ω????)?

Seeing Ms. Judy's pretty face so close to hers, Ran Mouri's face instantly turned bright red.

What could be more embarrassing than being caught daydreaming in class by the teacher?

"Yes...yes, teacher."

Although Ran Mouri was panicking inside, she certainly couldn't admit that she had been daydreaming. She could only blink her innocent big eyes and nod with a forced smile.

"If that's the case, then..."

Ms. Judy smiled slightly, a mischievous glint in her beautiful eyes, and pointed to the "X" on the blackboard, saying with a grin, "Xiao Lan, can you tell me what that mark on the blackboard means?"

"Huh? That's a cross, no, it should be an X, right?"

"Hahaha……"

Upon hearing Ran Mouri's words, the other students in the classroom couldn't help but let out a good-natured laugh.

The "X" mark on the blackboard obviously doesn't represent a cross or an English letter; it's clear that Ran Mouri was daydreaming.

"Ding ding ding..."

Just as Ran Mouri was feeling a little embarrassed, the bell rang to signal the end of get out of class.

"get out of class is over."

Ms. Judy glanced at her watch, then smiled and said, "In that case, Lan, please answer my question again during the next class!"

call--

Upon hearing this, Ran Mouri breathed a sigh of relief.

After Ms. Jodie left, Ran Mouri finally couldn't contain her curiosity and asked Sonoko beside her, "Sonoko, what does that 'X' that Ms. Jodie mentioned mean?"

"That 'X' represents..."

Sonoko stopped mid-sentence, revealing a somewhat mischievous smile: "Ran, why don't you text Shinichi and ask him what X means? Just say that if you get it right, I'll give you the most important X."

(￣ ー￣)

Looking at Sonoko's wicked smile, Ran knew that she was definitely trying to play a trick on her, so of course she wouldn't listen to her.

As the biggest CP leader of Shinichi and Ran, Sonoko's favorite thing to do is to bring Ran Mouri and Shinichi Kudo together, and this has not changed in twenty years.

Therefore, no matter how much Ran Mouri pressed her for answers, Sonoko did not tell her the true meaning of "X" this time. Instead, she asked her to send a text message to Shinichi Kudo first, and then told her the true meaning of "X".

Having been best friends with Sonoko for so many years, Ran Mouri knows her personality inside and out.

The more Sonoko refuses to reveal it, the more important the meaning of this "X" becomes, and Ran Mouri certainly won't fall for her trick.

"Ding ding ding..."

Soon it was time to leave school, and as the school bell rang, Ran and Sonoko walked out of the school together.

"Sister Sonoko, Sister Ran, we're here!"

As soon as Ran and her friends stepped out of the school gate, Seimei Suzuki waved his little hand and walked towards them with Conan and Ai Haibara.

Since tomorrow is Saturday and there's no school, Ran and the others have already agreed to take Seimei Suzuki and the others out to play today.

(?ω?)

When Ran Mouri saw Seimei Suzuki and the others, her eyes lit up, and she couldn't help but ask curiously, "Seimei, do you know if X has any special meaning?"

"X?"

Upon hearing this, Suzuki Seimei and the others couldn't help but show some puzzled expressions.

Conan asked, somewhat puzzled, "Ran-neechan, why are you asking that?"

"This was mentioned by Ms. Judy during a casual conversation in class, but I was daydreaming and didn't hear what the X meant."

"

Ran Mouri smiled a little embarrassedly, then rolled her eyes at Sonoko helplessly and said, "Sonoko won't tell me what X means, so I wanted to ask you guys if you know what X represents?"

"Xiao Lan, don't be silly!"

Sonoko couldn't help but complain, "How could those little brats possibly know?"

Ran Mouri said, "But Conan and his friends are different from ordinary children; they always know a lot of strange and unusual things."

"That makes sense."

Sonoko nodded subconsciously, and her gaze toward Suzuki Haruaki and the others became somewhat strange.

As for Suzuki Haruaki, well, he grew up with Sonoko from a young age and showed intelligence far beyond his peers from a very young age, which Sonoko had long been used to.

However, Ai Haibara and Conan's performance was somewhat surprising.

Even the garden has to admit that the saying "birds of a feather flock together" really makes sense!

"X? In algebra, X represents an unknown number, or it can represent a question..."

Conan stroked his chin and began to ponder.

"X? X-Men?!"

In Suzuki Seimei's mind, images from X-Men movies subconsciously surfaced.

"Kiss!"

Ai Haibara blinked her large, sapphire-like eyes and suddenly said, "The pronunciation of 'X' in English is similar to 'kiss,' so it also means 'kiss.'"

"Yes! You got it right!"

A pleasant voice suddenly rang out, and Ms. Judy, wearing a black short dress and a red blazer, walked over with a smile, her long, ivory-white legs swaying: "Little sister, you really know a lot!"

"It's alright~"

Faced with Jodie's praise, Ai Haibara replied innocently, "I just happened to see a popular introduction to the English alphabet on TV not long ago."

Does "X represent a kiss"?

Upon hearing this, Ran Mouri was slightly taken aback at first, then couldn't help but call out to Sonoko, "Sonoko, you're trying to tease me again!"

If Ran Mouri had actually believed Sonoko's nonsense and sent Shinichi Kudo messages like "I want to give him my most important X," then she would be mortified.

Of course!

A straight man like Shinichi Kudo probably wouldn't know what "X" means, which is a blind spot in his knowledge.

"By the way, Ran-san, and Sonoko-san, I actually have some questions I'd like to ask you. How about we talk about it at the coffee shop over there?"

"Okay... okay!"

Although Ran and Sonoko felt a little strange, they couldn't refuse Jodie's suggestion and led Seimei Suzuki and the others toward the nearby cafe.

"You're asking us if we've ever encountered a pervert?"

Upon hearing Ms. Jodie's question, Ran and Sonoko exchanged glances, then asked with some confusion, "Ms. Jodie, why would you ask us something like that?"

Ms. Judy said with a worried look, "I've heard that female students at Teitan High School have been frequently harassed by perverts while riding buses and subways lately, so I'm a little worried that the girls in our class might also be having the same problem."

Chapter 387 A Contagious Misfortune

When Suzuki Seimei heard what Ms. Jodie said, his expression became somewhat strange, and certain inappropriate images for children subconsciously surfaced in his mind.

Could it be that this world incorporates elements from certain Japanese adult films?

For example, animated films like "Ward of the XX", "Team of the XX Ten", and "Father of the XX" are incredibly exciting!

I'm not sure if others have encountered this, but Xiaolan and I haven't.

Just as Suzuki Seimei was lost in thought, Sonoko interrupted him, waving her hand at Jodie-sensei and saying, "And even if we really run into that disgusting guy, Ran will beat him to a pulp with karate!"

"Oh right, I almost forgot, Ran's karate is really good."

Ms. Judy smiled and nodded, then said in a very serious tone, "But you still need to be careful. Maybe someone has already planned this all along, lingering around your house for a long time, waiting for you to be off guard before striking!"

(⊙o⊙)...

Upon hearing what Ms. Jodie said, a look of sudden realization flashed across Suzuki Seimei's eyes. It turned out that she was alluding to Vermouth impersonating Dr. Araide.

No wonder Ms. Judy suddenly brought up something like this, making Suzuki Seimei almost think that the art style of this world was about to change drastically!

Sonoko smiled and waved her hand, saying, "If there really were someone like that, daring to loiter near my house, the guards would definitely arrest them immediately."

Ran Mouri thought for a moment and said, "I don't think there's anyone like that around my house, Conan, right?"

"Ok!"

Upon hearing this, Conan subconsciously nodded, but the image of Shuichi Akai involuntarily surfaced in his mind.

"So……"

card!

!

Just as Ms. Judy was about to continue speaking, the lights in the café suddenly went out, plunging the entire café into darkness.

"The power is out?"

As soon as Ran Mouri finished speaking, the lights in the coffee shop came back on.

"what!

! ”

Before Suzuki Seimei and the others could figure out what was going on, a piercing scream suddenly rang out, drawing their attention.

Suzuki Harumi and the others looked in the direction the sound came from and saw a large crowd of curious onlookers gathered inside the department store opposite the coffee shop.

"Whoosh!"

The moment he heard the scream, Conan instinctively rushed out of the coffee shop and ran into the department store across the street.

"Conan... really, this kid's curiosity is just too much!"

Ran Mouri didn't have time to stop them and could only lead Seimei Suzuki and the others into the department store across the street.
