A long, long time ago, when this forest was not a forest, this building had not been built yet.
This was an independent villa.
There was a very loving couple living here. They had many children and lived a very happy life.
They didn't know when, but bad luck befell them. Their children died one by one in various accidents.
They broke down.
The wife finally couldn't take it anymore and committed suicide.
But her soul was trapped here.
Even if she died, she couldn't let go of her dead children.
She stayed here day after day, looking for her children.
However, she only saw a demon. He was killing a passing child. She immediately pounced on him.
But that demon was too powerful.
She used all her strength, but she was still firmly suppressed.
Just like that, one year, two years, ten years, the wife's soul gradually began to collapse, and her consciousness fell into a deep slumber.
Or rather, it couldn't be considered a deep sleep.
She had been weakly floating here.
Gradually, more and more 'people' like her appeared around her. They all knew of each other's existence.
However, no one really cared about the others.
Recently, there were demons here again.
The demon killed one child after another before their eyes.
Unknowingly, they had all gathered here, gently but firmly trapping the souls of the children who had been cruelly murdered by them.
Children.
That was their child.
They would not let them leave again.
However, they consciously avoided the demon.
A child's soul was very painful.
They were crying loudly, trying to get away from these 'people'.
But they don't have the power of those 'people'.
Just like that, those 'people' swallowed them all into their stomachs in order to be together forever.
Indeed, they would never leave.
But the souls of those children would no longer exist.
Just like that, today arrived.
Those 'people' once again stood guard by the demon's side, but this time, the demon failed to kill the children. Instead, he was killed by others.
These 'people' could only disperse in disappointment.
One of the "people" climbed onto the elevator.
He had no purpose.
But at this time, he saw children. There were five children.
These were all his children.
He was extremely excited.
He would not let his children leave again.
That 'person' was killed.
The two 'people' who were still in the demon's room were also killed.
When the rest of the 'people' heard about this, they all felt fear.
They could only try their best to escape from the building.
They could not die yet. They wanted to be with their children forever.
If they died, the children would be alone.
After the case was solved, Ayumi Yoshida invited Satsuki Itō to join them. Dr. Agi's tent should have already been set up.
They had prepared a lot of delicious food for this trip. Sister Itō, please join us!
Mitsuhiko Itani and Motota Kojima echoed her sentiments.
On the other hand, Aichi Yuanai's expression was indifferent.
The detective had a complicated look in his eyes, but he did not say anything in the end. Satsuki Itō's lips curled into a beautiful smile. "So Dr. Agi is also nearby!" She accepted Ayumi Yoshida's invitation.
There were still ghosts in this forest.
They were eyeing the children covetously.
But even if Satsuki Itō was not present, it would not be a problem.
Because she had already … placed a protective amulet on the children that the ghosts did not dare to approach.
Since she had asked them to go to the police, she would not let them be in danger, right?
After that, the kids of the Juvenile Detective Group had a lot of fun during their excursion.
No ghosts came near them again.
When only Conan and Satsuki Itō were left, the detective expressed his gratitude to her.
"It's nothing."
Satsuki Itō smiled at him, shrugged, and returned to their tent.
They were just the most common ghosts. There was no special record of them in the books.
That was how it should be.
However, when Conan returned to the Maori Firm, he received a call from Aigara. He did not know when she had put a protective amulet on her.
"But unfortunately …" Aigara's tone was very calm.
"It turned into ashes very quickly."
That person was very powerful.
Aigara's description of someone was so powerful.
She told him that the amulet caught fire in her hand. But not only was she not burned, she did not even feel the heat that could burn it.
Conan asked Aigara if she still remembered what the amulet looked like.
The person on the other end seemed to think for a while. She finally told him that she still needed to recall and would tell him about it tomorrow.
Conan immediately expressed his gratitude.
During this period of time, he had encountered too many ghosts.
No matter what, he wanted to know more about them.
The next day at school, the other three children from the Juvenile Detective Corps said that they did not find anything strange.
They even asked Conan why he asked that.
Conan only chuckled and hurriedly brushed them off.
After school, Aigara's drawing of the amulet that she had drawn from her memory and handed it to Conan.
Conan suddenly felt that the drawing on it was very familiar.
Then, he remembered that he had seen it at the bookstore last time.
After school, the Juvenile Detective Corps originally planned to go to Dr. Agi's house, but Conan disappeared in the blink of an eye. When they wanted to look for him, they could only see Conan running out of the school in a hurry through the classroom window.
"Don't worry about him," Aigara's voice was calm as she said to the children.
"Dr. Agi is still waiting for us."
Aigara turned back to look out the window again. Conan had already taken out his solar skateboard.
She turned around and left the classroom with the other children without saying anything.
She knew where he was going.
But she did not understand why he was in such a hurry.
At the bookstore last time.
Conan rushed there as fast as he could.
The old man was still sitting there.
He had already changed the book in his hand.
Conan was no longer in a hurry. He picked up his solar skateboard and walked in.
The old man did not notice him again.
After he greeted him, the old man slowly moved his glasses out of the book.
The old man looked a little confused. After a long time, he said, "You are the child from that time …"
The old man looked behind Conan again. When he was sure that Conan was alone, disappointment flashed in his eyes. However, he still smiled and told Conan to find the book that he wanted.
He also praised Conan. Just like that person said, he was a smart child.
"She didn't come?"
Conan pretended to be a child and nodded cutely. When he was about to look for the book he wanted, he faintly heard the old man muttering something behind him.
It was very soft, but there was no mistake.
She didn't come after that?
Conan flipped through the books one by one and thought about this question.
"Found it." His eyes suddenly showed some joy.
He took out the picture of the amulet that Aigara had drawn.
There was no mistake.
This was it.
The picture on both sides was exactly the same. There was not even a slight difference.
This picture was printed on the back cover of the book.
Conan still did not know what it was.
He could only ask the old man.
The old man took the book from the child. After glancing at it, he pushed his reading glasses up so that he could see the content of the book more clearly.
His hands suddenly trembled.
"You … You have seen this picture?" He said anxiously.
"So … So … She really …"
"Grandpa Shopkeeper …" Conan pretended to be a child again. He raised his face and asked in a childish voice, "What's so special about this picture?" Why did the old man have such a big reaction to this picture?
The old man seemed very tired. He closed his eyes and took off his reading glasses.
After a long time, he said, "This is a kind of amulet created by Abe Seimei.
Unfortunately, no one can use it anymore.
Not even his descendants can use it. "
The old man still remembered that a long, long time ago, a girl had drawn this picture many times. But every time, she only looked at the picture.
In the end, she sighed and carefully folded the paper and put it back into her pocket.
"I really am not Abe Seimei's descendant, right?" She would always joke like this.
She did not seem sad.
The old man seemed to be immersed in his memories. Conan's eyes were also full of surprise. He could not help but hold his chin. He began to think seriously. Finally, he said, "Grandpa.
Are you sure that Abe Seimei's descendants can't use it? "
"That's impossible!" Conan could not figure it out. He muttered in a low voice.
"It should have worked.
At that time. "
"Little friend … Little friend, is what you said true?" The old man, who had bad hearing, actually heard Conan's words this time.
He hurriedly asked him.
"What's going on?
Is there really someone who can use this amulet? "
Conan did not know much about these things. He only handed the amulet picture that Hui Yuan had drawn to him seriously.
"I'm not sure.
But I don't think that person will use an amulet that has no effect. "That guy would not do something unnecessary.
