Maori Kogoro's daily life in the science harem

"It's not impossible!"

The two of them were playing with each other, splashing water everywhere.

Suddenly, Xiaolan's laughter stopped, and her eyes widened: "Wait, Yuanzi, look outside!"

Yuanzi was stunned for a moment and looked outside along Xiaolan's line of sight.

At the end of the snow, there seemed to be a hazy figure walking slowly - it was a "snow girl" wearing a white robe and with long black hair.

Her steps were as light as the wind, as if not tainted by a trace of worldly air. The white snow and moonlight around her intertwined to form an incredible picture.

"Wow, this... is really a snow girl!"

Yuanzi was also stunned, with her mouth slightly open. She thought it was a joke, but seeing this weird scene with her own eyes, she couldn't help but feel a chill down her spine.

Xiao Ai was lying lazily on the side. After hearing their exclamations, she raised her eyelids and glanced coldly outside. Then she picked up the small mobile phone that she had brought into the hot spring at some point and took two photos outside the window.

She said calmly, "Huh? Nothing was captured."

After hearing her words, Xiaolan and Sonoko felt a little scared and looked at each other.

Chapter 362 is different from the original again!

Xiaolan suppressed her nervousness and muttered softly, "I clearly saw it just now...how come it's gone?"

At this moment, Mao Li's voice came from the men's bath: "Lan, what are you arguing about?"

Xiaolan quickly responded: "Dad, we...we seemed to have seen the Snow Girl just now!"

There was a hint of panic in her tone.

Maori, who was at the hot spring pool, looked at the snow and squinted his eyes: "Snow Girl? Where is she?"

He looked over the snow for a moment but found nothing unusual.

"Are you seeing things? It's foggy at night and it's easy to see things dazzled."

Xiaolan and Sonoko were stunned for a moment - the shadow they had seen clearly just now had disappeared without a trace.

Xiaolan bit her lip and said, "Maybe... we really saw it wrong?"

Although Yuanzi was skeptical, she nodded and said half-doubtfully: "Well, maybe I'm too tired."

However, Xiao Ai suddenly raised her mobile phone towards the two of them and took a few photos of them.

Xiaolan was shocked and blushed immediately, covering herself with her arms: "Hey, Xiaoai, what are you doing! Don't take pictures!"

Sonoko didn't seem to care. She stood in the hot spring with her hands on her hips and came over with a smile: "Come on, take a nice picture for Uncle Maori. He will definitely like it!"

Xiaolan blushed and covered her chest in panic: "Yuanzi! Stop it!"

Xiao Ai said as a matter of course: "Take a picture and send it to Uncle Maori, otherwise he won't know what you are talking about."

She said as she calmly continued to operate her phone.

"Oh no!"

Xiaolan was so anxious that she was about to cry, and rushed over to grab her phone. Sonoko laughed so hard that her stomach hurt, and said while laughing: "Xiaoai is really getting worse and worse, hahahaha——"

The girls chased each other and played in the hot spring. The strange snow girl's phantom seemed to disappear with their laughter and was forgotten.

……

The group returned to the room laughing and joking, changed into soft pajamas and prepared to go to bed.

Xiaolan and Sonoko made their beds and looked out the window casually. Suddenly, Xiaolan's eyes froze and she froze in a daze: "Sonoko... look!"

Yuanzi followed her gaze and was also stunned for a moment.

On the snow outside the window, a "snow woman" in a white kimono was walking slowly.

The moonlight elongated her shadow, and she seemed like a ghost from another world, her steps light but eerie, her black hair fluttering gently in the wind.

"There really is a snow woman..." Sonoko also felt a chill rising from behind.

Xiaolan turned pale with fear and immediately shouted, "Dad! Come quickly!"

When Mao Li heard the sound, he immediately rushed into the room, frowned, and looked quickly out the window.

Sure enough, he also saw the snow girl!

Against the backdrop of the white snow, her figure looked like a dream, but Maori's eyes never left her.

With his keen eyesight and memory, he discovered that the figure of the snow woman was very similar to that of Akiko Kinoshita.

"Could it be...her?"

Maori murmured quietly.

At this moment, Xiaolan and Sonoko were completely filled with fear and threw themselves into Maori's arms and hugged him tightly.

Xiaolan's body was shaking slightly. Although she could usually beat villains and was brave and fearless, she could no longer remain calm when faced with such a mysterious scene.

"Dad...I'm so scared."

Xiaolan's voice was choked with sobs.

Mao Li patted their shoulders and said softly, "Don't be afraid. I'll go see what's going on. You stay in the room and don't go anywhere. Do you hear me?"

Xiaolan and Sonoko hugged him tightly and refused to let go, but finally nodded.

Maori turned around, opened the window, flipped out without hesitation, and jumped into the snow.

The cold wind blew in his face, but Maori's steps remained steady.

He took a few steps in the snow. It was quiet all around him except for the sound of falling snowflakes.

However, the moment he turned his head slightly, the alarm bells in his heart suddenly rang.

The upgraded system's perception ability immediately took effect, and he keenly sensed someone approaching.

Mao Li almost subconsciously reached out and quickly reached to the side. As his hand closed, a warm body was firmly pulled into his arms.

Maori looked down and saw that it was Yoko Asanuma.

She panted slightly, with a hint of surprise and panic in her eyes. She obviously didn't expect to be caught by Maori like this.

"Yoko Asanuma?"

Maori's voice was low and confused.

Asanuma Yoko pursed her lips, hesitated for a moment, and approached Maori as if she had made up her mind, and said softly: "Mr. Maori... Come with me, I have something to say."

Maori looked around, and the figure of the snow girl on the snow in the distance was still looming.

He pondered for a moment, looked at Yoko Asanuma again, and nodded calmly.

"Let's go."

He released her, but remained alert.

Yoko Asanuma led him through several corridors and returned to her room quietly.

After entering, she locked the door with her backhand, leaned against the door and let out a long sigh, as if she had finally unloaded some psychological burden.

Mao Li leaned back in a chair beside him, his eyes sharp and calm: "Now, can you tell me?"

Asanuma Yoko's eyes flickered, and she whispered, "That snow woman...is not Kinoshita Akiko, and it's not me either."

She paused, as if wondering whether to continue.

"What do you know?" Maori's eyes were fixed on her, his tone calm but oppressive.

Asanuma Yoko bit her lip lightly, as if struggling, and finally whispered: "This matter... may be related to Kinoshita Akiko's past. The 'Legend of the Snow Girl' in this B&B may not be a simple legend, but..."

Her voice became lower and lower, as if she was afraid of touching some unspeakable secret.

Maori was silent for a moment, and he suddenly realized that this "Snow Girl" was not that simple.

Damn, once again, it’s different from the original.

This time it seems a little supernatural?

Asanuma Yoko's eyes dimmed and her voice was low: "That snow woman... is actually a ghost in this snowy mountain. She sometimes possesses Kinoshita Akiko's body and makes her a real snow woman. This is why Akiko was able to act so well as a snow woman, because at that time, she was no longer completely herself."

She paused, a hint of loss in her voice: "But sometimes... that snow woman would possess me. But she likes Mingzi more. So, I can only be her substitute."

Asanuma Yoko bit her lower lip slightly, her eyes revealing the resentment that could not be concealed: "During the selection, my performance was obviously better than hers. But unfortunately, that snow woman liked her more! No matter how hard I try, I can only be a substitute under her brilliance."

Her hands dropped limply and her eyes were dim.

PS: There will be a snow girl in the next chapter! It's not from the original novel, you know! If you don't like it, I won't add it later. You can leave me a comment to see what everyone thinks!

Chapter 363 Snow is in the depth of winter

Mauli looked at her in silence.

He originally did not believe in supernatural phenomena, but he himself was bound to a system - which itself was a supernatural existence.

If the system can exist, then perhaps there really are ghosts like the Snow Girl in the world.

Mao Li's mind moved, and he whispered to the system in his mind: "Do supernatural phenomena... really exist?"

【Ding! 】

[Supernatural phenomena do exist, such as magicians and witches. In some known worlds, the witch Koizumi Hongzi is a real example. ]

Mao Li's heart was shocked, and his eyes became deep.

By the way, in the original work of Conan, there is indeed a witch like Koizumi Akako.

He still remembered the legends of mermaids and witches, so the idea of ​​a snow girl ghost didn't seem too incredible.

Maori took a deep breath and clenched his palms.

His thoughts were clear. Regardless of whether this Snow Girl was real or fake, he was invincible because of the power of the system.

"Where is Kinoshita Akiko now?"

Maori asked calmly, his eyes as cool as a knife.

Asanuma Yoko hesitated for a moment and replied in a low voice: "There is a small villa deep in the snowy mountains. When the snow woman possesses a spirit, she usually takes Akiko to live there."

She trembled slightly, but there was a hint of pleading in her eyes, "Are you...are you going to go?"

Mao Li nodded, his brows showing determination: "Yes. I have to go and see."

Just as Maori turned around and was about to leave, Asanuma Yoko suddenly grabbed his wrist.

Her fingers were cold, as if conveying her inner panic and helplessness.

"Mr. Maori..." Her voice was trembling and pleading, "I don't want to be her substitute forever... Please help me, no matter what the price is. As long as you can get rid of her..."

Her eyes revealed complex emotions, fear of the snow woman and jealousy of Kinoshita Akiko.

Maori lowered his head and looked at Yoko Asanuma in front of him.

She clutched her wrists tightly, her eyes filled with confusion and pain.

This is not just the inferiority and jealousy of a stuntman, but also the fear buried deep in his heart.

Mao Li gently pulled his hand back, "Don't worry, I will take care of it."

Yoko Asanuma was stunned for a moment, her hands falling limply at her sides, looking at Maori's back as he left, with a hint of complicated emotions in her eyes.

She struggled for a long time, and finally, Yoko Asanuma gritted her teeth and followed.

"Mr. Maori! I want to go too!"

"No matter what, I want to see it clearly!"

Maori looked back at Asanuma Yoko, and then said calmly: "If you want to go, come with me."

……

Yoko Asanuma followed closely behind Mori, and the two of them walked on the thick snow towards the legendary "Snow Girl Villa".

As they approached, the wind and snow seemed to swirl around them intentionally, and the temperature in the air seemed to drop a few degrees.

Asanuma's hands were clenched tightly, and his cold fingers unconsciously grasped the corner of Mori's clothes.

Even though she knew that there was a fearless man by her side, the fear in her heart still prevented her from relaxing.

She mustered up her courage several times, but still hid behind Maori, her eyes full of fear and hesitation.
