The old housekeeper turned his head to look.

Suddenly, he saw the young man in black beside him. His face was also pitch black, without any facial features that a human should have.

He was startled.

He took a few steps back. If he hadn't supported his arm with one hand, he might have fallen down.

"Apocalypse"

After he stood still in a panic, he found that Ye Gengyi was looking at him suspiciously, as if everything that happened just now was an illusion...

"Guest, guest..."

The old butler opened his mouth, didn't say anything, but lowered his head slightly.

I thought you were not afraid of anything.

Ye Gengyi sighed silently, and then said, "I heard the doorbell ring and came over to have a look, this..."

He pointed to the empty door, "Does this happen often?"

"Maybe it was a mountain bird that was passing by to avoid the rain, and accidentally bumped into it." The old housekeeper explained ambiguously, and then closed the door smoothly.

Watching each other go up the stairs.

Ye Geng returned to the living room on the first floor while retracting the nanorobot.

The housekeeper has left.

Kuroba Kaito sat on the chair, playing with a coin in a bored way, letting it spin and undulate on his fingertips.

"How is it? Did she look for you in the room?" Ye Geng asked.

"No," Kaito Kuroba shook his head, "It's the same as at noon, after putting away the things, we left."

"I found something."

Ye Gengyi took out some folded napkins and opened them to reveal a handkerchief inside:

"Sevoflurane, an inhaled anesthetic, I found it from the old housekeeper."

"Body? Brother, you can't be..." Kaito Kuroba subconsciously looked out the door.

"Thinking too much."

Ye Gengyi explained in a low voice, "Violence is just one of the effective means to achieve the goal. I don't like to enjoy that process."

Ye Gengyi put away the handkerchief stained with sevoflurane again.

Immediately, he asked Kuroba Kaito to disguise himself as himself, and prepared to split up and quickly inspect 10 locked rooms after 9 o'clock.

…

The lights in the villa suddenly went out, heralding the arrival of 9 o'clock.

"Let's go without a problem."

"Don't worry, brother, maybe I'm faster than you."

As soon as Kaito Kuroba, who was adapting to the dark environment, heard a 'click', Ye Gengyi had already left the room.

"...Do you want to be so efficient?"

Kuroba Kaito grunted, and then stepped into the corridor.

He did not walk in the direction of the main hall.

Instead, he came to a door diagonally opposite the living room, near the kitchen.

Use a lockpicking tool to quickly open it.

Kuroba Kaito dodges and slips in.

He took out the lighter, tapped the gear, and as the flames rose up, several light spots in the mirror also dispelled the darkness at the same time.

As far as the eye can see, the room is square, with no windows around it.

In addition to the mirrors inlaid and hung around, a bookcase in the room is particularly attractive.

This is…

"menu?"

With the help of sporadic firelight, Kaito Kuroba could clearly see the words on the book, and felt a chill behind him for no reason.

The remaining space in the bookcase is filled with various glass objects.

Things are directly fixed in the showcase by special display racks, so there is no way to move them.

Kaito Kuroba took out the flashlight, blocked most of the light, and observed again. He was basically sure that these should be pure decorations.

Speaking of other unlocked rooms, it seems that there is no similar thing...

He muttered silently, put the flashlight in his arms, put away the lighter, turned and left the room.

The corridor was dark.

In the silence, there is only the soft sound of the soles of the shoes stepping on the ground.

Kuroba Kaito adjusted his breathing, walked quickly and arrived at the main hall after a while.

He glanced at the mirror ball.

Curiosity made him want to take a closer look.

However, before he could get closer, the sound of rustling footsteps suddenly came from the stairs.

Is it brother? wrong! Brother went to the third floor, anyway, the sound is too close...

Affected by the atmosphere, Kaito Kuroba shrank uncontrollably even though he had prepared mentally in advance.

The name "ghost" flashed through his mind.

Immediately afterwards, the sound of footsteps stopped suddenly, and the sound of the "Kacha Kacha" lock tongue sounded instead.

Kuroba Kaito no longer hesitated, and walked towards the stairs at a slower pace.

As expected, the sound came from the corridor extending to the east.

There are 4 locked doors on the left and right sides.

who is it?

Kuroba Kaito held his breath, and the landing point of each step made no sound as much as possible, so when he came to the corner of the stairs and looked inside.

Just in the dark corridor, I vaguely saw a black figure flashing past.

Um? that body type...

In Kuroba Kaito's mind, the outline of 'Urashima Motoka' emerged.

Just before he could see clearly, the other party had already entered into the close room.

It's so late, wandering around in the dark villa alone? That's not like what a fortuneteller is supposed to do...

Kaito Kuroba waited again at the corner of the stairs.

During this period, of course, I didn't forget to look towards the west side of the corridor, lest when I turned my head to look over one time, I found that the old housekeeper stared at me blankly for an unknown amount of time.

Hiss... It's kind of creepy to think about it...

He restrained his divergent thoughts so as not to be frightened by his brain.

There was a dead silence in the corridor again.

Just as Kaito Kuroba was about to quietly go to the door to check, he suddenly heard a creaking sound with a long tail from far to near.

It's a dining car...

Kaito Kuroba moved his body close to the wall, while paying attention to the movement in front of him, he was about to draw out his magic pistol.

I don't know if I should call it luck.

The figure pushing the dining car stopped firmly in front of the door that should have been locked.

"Duk...duk...duk..."

There was another series of knocks on the door with a special rhythm.

Kuroba Kaito didn't even have to get close to him, but he imagined the stern look of the housekeeper.

There is no way ~lightnovelpub.net~ Now we can only wait.

He actually thought about throwing a hypnotic gas over there, but considering that the situation was still unclear, if he accidentally made a mistake, he might implicate his brother and be investigated by the police.

Thankfully, there wasn't too long a wait over there.

The door opened quickly.

Then the housekeeper pushed the dining cart and walked in.

Wait until the door is closed.

Kuroba Kaito followed immediately, leaning over to eavesdrop.

Vaguely, there was a voice of conversation coming through the door panel, but it was too subtle to be heard clearly.

Just as Kuroba Kaito was considering whether to take the risk of opening the door a crack.

A palm suddenly protruded from behind and covered his mouth silently.
