Chapter 11 Moonlight Sonata and Masashi
Chapter 11 Moonlight Sonata and Masashi
[Novelist: Maori Kogoro received a letter of commission yesterday signed by Aso Keiji.]
[Spell Master: Does this mean the Moon Shadow Island incident is about to happen?]
[Perfumer: Honestly, this Asai Narimi, or rather Asai Narimi, has quite a bit in common with the people in our Oletus Manor, doesn't he?]
[Toy Merchant: I've looked through the information the manor owner gave me. He's a poor man who's taken this path out of revenge. Can't we help him?]
[Cheerleader: How do we help him? Take him to Oletus Manor?]
[Mechanic: Nice idea, isn't it?]
[Gravekeeper: Would the manor owner agree? The manor hasn't recruited anyone this way yet.]
[Air Force: Indeed, considering the uniqueness of this world and the fact that we've collaborated with him before, if we bring him in, he might become a collaborative skin.]
[Novelist: If you have any ideas for a collaboration skin, please share your thoughts.]
[Bartender: That's hard to say. We've collaborated with so many worlds, but we've never had someone from another world collaborate with us and become our colleagues.]
[Lawyer: Indeed, no.]
[Forward: Wouldn't it be better to just ask the manor owner about this matter?]
[Mercenary: You are still as brave as ever.]
[Prophet: I went to ask.]
[Mercenary: What?]
[Bartender: Huh?]
[Embarkantist:?]
[Novelist: Don't be so surprised, Eli, what does the owner of the manor say?]
[Prophet: The manor owner agreed, but only allowed his soul to enter, so he needed to find a body to live in.]
[Puppeteer: I can make a puppet for him.]
[Sculptor: Wood isn't durable, so I might as well carve a human figure for him.]
[Embarker: The embalmer's stand-in should be more perfect.]
[Dream Witch: Hehehe, stop arguing. I can just recruit him as my disciple. Not a single bit of his body or soul will be wasted.]
[Priest: Why is the witch so concerned about this all of a sudden?]
[Dream Witch: Just interested.]
[Prophet: Um, Witch Lady, the manor owner has said that your abilities are limited. If you want to recruit believers through this method of preaching, the maximum limit is only four.]
[Spellcaster: This just corresponds to the four parasitic believers in your game besides the original believers.]
[Dream Witch: Tsk, what a bummer. Anyway, four is enough.]
[Priest: The manor owner is probably worried that you'll fill the manor with people from another world in this way.]
[Novelist: So this time, all we have to do is rescue Masamichi from the fire. That's pretty easy.]
[Dream Witch: Hehehe, isn't it too boring to just rescue him? If I don't give him a reason to live, how can he willingly become my believer?]
[Professor: You don't want to do anything out of the ordinary, do you? Your power in this world is greatly suppressed.]
[Dream Witch: Don't worry, don't worry, I just want to give the famous detective a little scare.]
On Moon Shadow Island, since the mechanical raven could not cross the sea and would be easily discovered if it stayed on the ship, the Prophet sent out his servant bird Brodavi as the monitor of this case, relying on the Sky Eye to broadcast Conan's every move in real time.
At this point, Conan has understood the truth behind the case, and in the broadcasting room, through the voice of Maori Kogoro, he points out that Asami is the real culprit behind these cases. Asami takes advantage of the police's inability to react and escapes, hiding in front of the piano where his father played for the last time and lighting a fire.
"Everything is over now." Masashi pressed the piano keys lightly and muttered to himself.
"Really, is it really over like this?" A gloomy female voice sounded in Ma Shengshi's ears.
"Your parents were killed by those people. You spent two years preparing for this revenge. Now you have succeeded, haven't you?"
"But that young detective has already exposed me. My hands are stained with the blood of those four people."
"You are in a fire scene now, just like your father was. You just need to pretend that you were burned to ashes in the fire, and then you can change your identity and continue to live, right? As for the blood on your hands you mentioned, you are just executing your own justice. The four of them died what they deserved." The female voice was accompanied by a strange hissing sound like a snake.
"What's more, your father also hopes that you can live well, doesn't he?" The voice came from far away and gradually got closer, and in the end it seemed as if it was speaking into Ma Shengshi's ear.
The flames in the house began to rise and twist, gradually forming a strange pattern. A figure resembling a little girl slowly emerged from the pattern.
Ma Sheng was astonished. This defied common sense. How could a person emerge from flames? He examined the little girl carefully. She had medium-length, pale blond hair and wore a black gauze dress embroidered with gold thread, which looked priceless. Strangely, a golden snake coiled around her. Her movements seemed mechanical and stiff, like a puppet.
"Were you the one who was talking just now?"
The believer did not reply.
"Hello? Who are you?" Seeing that the little girl didn't answer, Ma Chengshi couldn't help but feel anxious.
"I'm the one talking to you." A vague female figure appeared behind the little girl.
When the figure gradually solidified, Ma Chengshi finally saw the image of the owner of the voice.
A mysterious woman, seemingly ageless, was wearing a black tulle dress with a hint of gold. A black tulle covered her eyes. On her chest was a jade snake brooch that looked lifelike, as if it were slowly crawling. She smiled and placed her hand on the child's head.
"Are you mother and daughter?" Asano asked as he looked at everything in front of him, which seemed a little unreal.
"You can call me the Messenger Master, and this child is one of my messengers." The witch's voice became a little lazy. "You can become one of my messengers."
"Who are you? Why are you asking me such a question?"
"Tsk tsk, what a hassle." The witch curled her lips, obviously a little impatient.
The witch fiddled with the brooch, and Ma Chengshi suddenly felt dizzy. After a burst of tinnitus, Ma Chengshi suddenly found himself in front of a huge manor. His parents and sister were standing at the door of the manor waving to him.
"My son, you have done very well. Come over here and join us. We can continue to live together." Keiji Aso had a gentle smile on his face and waved gently to Aso Minoru.
Seeing this scene, Asami couldn't help but ran over and hugged his family.
"I am willing to be your messenger." Ma Shengshi swore devoutly surrounded by his family.
At this time, Conan rushed into the fire scene and loudly told Masashi the hidden content on the music score, just interrupting Masashi who was immersed in the illusion.
Asanami just chuckled and said that he had known about this for a long time, and now he has seen new hope and will live with his family forever.
Conan, who couldn't see the Dream Witch, of course thought that it was Asano's self-destructive statement, and hurriedly thought of other ways to remedy the situation, but was picked up by Asano and thrown out of the window.
Conan, who was thrown out of the fire, looked at the window frame filled with smoke, but seemed to see a mysterious woman giving him a weird smile.
"The messenger brings an illusory dream, no one can escape it, no one can indulge in it."
