Detective Conan: Birth of the Demon Child

"..."

Upon hearing this, Yoshihiko Negami's expression changed slightly. He leaned closer to Akira Hojima and asked, "Hojima, is it really appropriate to let Ms. Yukiko and the children stay in such a filthy room?"

"Isn't that going too far?"

Saki Hojima said, somewhat speechless, "Our shared apartment is a bit messy, but it's not dirty, is it?"

Seeing this, the unshaven-bearded Gucun Dehong couldn't help but laugh and said, "Then it's decided. In that case, we should hurry up and finish our work so we can prepare to stay up all night to celebrate the wrap-up."

"A night owl?"

"What does that mean?"

"Is he a partner of Kamen Rider?"

When Ayumi and the others heard this, their little faces were full of confusion.

o(n_n)o Haha~

Upon hearing this, Hojima Akira laughed and explained, "A night owl just means someone who stays up all night playing mahjong!"

"Oh, I see!"

"Alright, let me take you to our shared apartment first!"

After finishing his words, Hojima led Suzuki Harumi and the others to the house he shared with Negami Yoshihiko and Komura Tokuhiro.

"Ding! Congratulations on successfully checking in to the ancient village of Dehong. You are rewarded with one year of lifespan [which the host can claim at any time]."

As Suzuki Harumi passed by Tokuhiro Komura, he silently nudged Tokuhiro's knee with his elbow, and a system notification sounded in his ear.

"Wow……"

Although Akira and the others had just said that the shared apartment was very messy, they still couldn't help but show their surprise when they entered the living room and saw DVDs and movie props everywhere.

"This place is even more chaotic than I imagined!"

"You guys should occasionally take some time to tidy up this place, right?"

"You guys will never find a girlfriend if you keep going like this!"

Hearing what the children said, Akira Hojima gave a slightly embarrassed smile.

"Ms. Yukiko, please take the children and rest in my room for a while."

After leading Suzuki Seimei and the others into his bedroom, Hojima Akira first put away the folding bed and then helped them lay out the tatami mats, enough for them to sleep on the floor together.

"Mr. Suijima, thank you so much for your help."

"You're welcome. I'll head back to the Phenomenon Institute now. Bye-bye, kids!"

Goodbye, Uncle Suidao!

After Akira Hojima left, Yukiko suddenly hugged Haruaki Suzuki and Conan, rubbing her pretty face against theirs: "We're going to sleep together tonight~"

"I'll sleep on the innermost side."

Seeing this, Ai Haibara took the lead and went to the position closest to the wall, then crawled into the quilt.

"..."

Suzuki Seimei was slightly taken aback at first, but then without saying a word, he crawled into the quilt next to Haibara Ai.

~(@^_^@)~

"So cute~"

Upon seeing this, Yukiko couldn't help but smile like an aunt, and pulled Conan to lie down next to Suzuki Seimei.

?????ω?????

Before Genta and Mitsuhiko could react, Ayumi, her face flushed, crawled into the blankets next to Conan.

"Genta, you stop right there!"

Genta, regaining his senses, instinctively wanted to run to Ayumi's side, but Mitsuhiko, who reacted quickly, grabbed him: "To be fair, everyone play rock-paper-scissors!"

"it is good!"

Ultimately, Genta, who was unlucky, could only sleep in the spot closest to the bedroom door, while Mitsuhiko lay between him and Ayumi.

It's unbearable to repair!

!

"What should I do? What should I do? I'm so excited I can't sleep!"

"Mitsuhiko, are you asleep?"

"Not yet!"

"I remember the new movie, isn't it called The Potato Baron's Counterattack?"

"No, that's not it! I think it was... I think it was..."

Five minutes later, hearing Mitsuhiko and Genta keep getting the movie's name wrong, Conan's obsessive-compulsive disorder kicked in, and he couldn't help but stand up and shout, "Damn it, it's The Potato Queen's Requiem! Can't you even remember that?"

"huhuhuhu"

As soon as Conan finished speaking, he discovered that Mitsuhiko, Genta, and Ayumi had all fallen asleep.

"They're all already asleep."

Upon seeing this, Conan's lips twitched, and he shook his head helplessly.

Why should I take these little brats so seriously?

Actually, you can't blame Conan for being childish. When his body shrinks, the hormones he secretes also change, so his behavior becomes somewhat childish.

Just like Suzuki Haruaki, who was very mature psychologically, he would occasionally act somewhat childish due to physical factors.

"There's no way around it, kids just sleep so well."

Seeing that Suzuki Haruaki was already asleep, Yukiko leaned down and kissed his forehead, then beckoned to Conan and said in a playful tone, "Alright, Shin-chan, you can go and sleep in Mommy's arms too."

"I don't want it!"

Conan's lips twitched, and he turned his face toward Ayumi.

After all, Conan isn't a real child, so he wouldn't be so embarrassed as to sleep with Yukiko like a human-shaped body pillow, like Suzuki Haruaki did.

Although Conan can't fall asleep as quickly as Ayumi and the others, he quickly drifts off to sleep due to the effects of being a child.

As night slowly fell, a dark figure silently entered the living room with a kitchen knife.

The shadowy figure was very familiar with the layout of the living room. Even though the lights were off, it was able to move freely in the dark and messy living room without touching anything.

"Snoring"

Looking at Gucun Dehong, who was lying on the sofa, snoring and fast asleep, a cold glint flashed in the shadowy figure's eyes. He raised the kitchen knife in his hand and stabbed it fiercely into Gucun Dehong's chest.

"what"

With a painful scream, Tokuhiro Komura died on the spot, and Seimei Suzuki and the others were also awakened by the scream.

"whoosh whoosh"

Startled awake from her sleep, Ai Haibara instinctively raised her small hand and waved it. Five invisible, transparent spider silk threads shot out from her fingertips and slipped through the crack in the bedroom door.

"Zizzi"

The transparent spider silk that emerged from the crack in the door spread outwards at an extremely fast speed, forming a huge transparent spider web that covered the entire living room.

Since awakening her ability to manipulate spider silk, Ai Haibara has developed more than ten different spider silk skills in one go.

For example, the ability that Ai Haibara is currently using is a new technique she developed herself: the Heavenly Net!

The so-called "net of heaven and earth" refers to Ai Haibara using spider silk to weave a large spider web in a certain area.

Anyone who enters this area can be instantly located by Ai Haibara through the vibrations of any spider silk they touch.

In addition to locating intruders, the intruder's net can also be used to launch attacks against them.

It should be noted that the spider silk released by Ai Haibara is not only thinner than a hair, but also tougher than steel wire.

Therefore, these transparent spider silks are equivalent to countless sharp knife threads.

With a wave of her hand, Ai Haibara could tear any intruder who stepped into the spiderweb to pieces.

"Is there only one person? It seems he's not from the organization."

Through the vibrations transmitted through the spider web, Ai Haibara quickly located the culprit and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

The reason why Ai Haibara reflexively used the Net after waking up from her dream was mainly because she was worried that the Black Organization would come looking for her.

Given Ai Haibara's current strength, she isn't afraid of the assassins sent by the Black Organization; her main concern is that they might implicate Seimei Suzuki and the others.

"stop!"

Just as the murderer who killed Tokuhiro Komura was preparing to leave the living room as quickly as possible, a transparent spider silk suddenly shot up from the ground and wrapped around the murderer's ankle with lightning speed.

Even when illuminated by light, the transparent spider silk released by Ai Haibara is difficult for ordinary people to see with the naked eye, let alone in the pitch-black living room at this moment.

"Pfft!"

"what!

! ”

The murderer didn't even notice the spider silk wrapped around his ankle. Just as he was about to take a step forward with his right foot, he felt a sharp pain and couldn't help but scream as he fell uncontrollably to the ground.

"what happened?"

Startled awake from his sleep, Akira Sujima rushed to the living room and turned on the lights.

The moment the light was turned on, Akira Hojima's eyes widened in shock, and he froze on the spot.

Gu Cundehong was lying asleep on the sofa, with a kitchen knife stuck in his chest; he had already lost all signs of life.

Meanwhile, Yoshihiko Negami collapsed beside the sofa, screaming in agony. His right leg was twisted unnaturally, and blood was flowing continuously from his ankle.

"what happened?"
