# Chapter 928: The Impulse to Beat Myself to Death
An hour later, Mori Kogoro's flag fell.
Ayumi was lost...
"Huh?!"
Entrance, Mouri Ran looked at the four children who had returned for help in astonishment, "Ayumi is missing?"
"Sorry," Mitsuhiko said with a frustrated expression, "We lost her while playing."
Conan held the scarf he found that belonged to Ayumi, flipping through it. He then shook his head at Haibara Ai, who was looking over, "There are no clues on it."
"Anyway, I think it's better if more people go look for her," Genta said anxiously.
*Crash...*
The Dining Room door was opened.
Mouri Ran turned back and looked at the person coming from the Corridor, "Brother Hichiji? Ayumi is missing, I'll go find my Father..."
"No need to go, they're all drunk," Chi Feichi said, wearing his coat, walking towards the Entrance Hall, "Go find the Police Officer here for help."
Mouri Ran leaned her head out and saw a group of uncles in the Dining Room drunk and lying all over the floor. Then she looked at Chi Feichi's clear gaze: "..."
They were really all subdued.
A group of people went out again. This time, Kimiko Nagakura also followed to lead the way to find the local Police Officer.
"What's wrong with you guys?"
On the Road, the Purple Suit Man holding a flashlight saw a group of people passing by and shouted loudly, "Do you need help?"
Mouri Ran ran past in a hurry, "No need!"
"Hey, hey, too indifferent!" The Purple Suit Man shouted in dissatisfaction.
After the Police Officer mobilized the villagers to help search, the villagers found Ayumi, who had fallen asleep, at the Base of the Tree near the Shrine.
Chi Feichi stepped forward to check Ayumi's situation, took off his coat and covered Ayumi with it, then picked Ayumi up. He turned to Mouri Ran, who had run over anxiously, and said, "No trauma."
Mouri Ran breathed a sigh of relief and turned to thank the Police Officer and villagers.
It wasn't spring yet. Even if the weather was sunny during the daytime, the temperature at Night was still very low. A group of people did not stay in the Mountain Forest for long and returned to the Guesthouse with Ayumi.
An hour later, Ayumi, who was in the bedding, woke up. She opened her eyes and looked blankly at Chi Feichi sitting Beside her and the others who were surrounding her, "Brother Chi... and... Everyone?"
"Ayumi! Are you okay?" Mitsuhiko asked.
"Does anywhere hurt?" Mouri Ran also asked anxiously, "Do you feel injured anywhere?"
Ayumi felt her body and her voice was a bit weak, "It's nothing, I'm fine."
"Can you keep talking?" Conan saw Ayumi nod before continuing to ask, "What exactly happened?"
"This..." Ayumi recalled, "I was originally following Everyone to do the night watch, when I suddenly saw a beautiful Girl on another Road waving at me, so I followed her."
"Girl?" Conan asked in doubt.
"Uh-huh, she was probably about ten years old, with a bob cut," Ayumi said, "She was also wearing a red skirt..."
"Impossible," Gen Nagakura, who had just entered the Door, stood at the Entrance, his legs slightly trembling, his expression astonished, "This is impossible!"
Kimiko Nagakura behind Gen Nagakura was a bit excited, "She must have come here to see Eiji Nagakura, Mami Nagakura she..."
"Mami Nagakura?" Conan asked curiously.
Ayumi also sat up and looked at Kimiko Nagakura, "So her name is Mami Nagakura?"
"Yes, Mami Nagakura and our deceased Son Eiji Nagakura were childhood sweethearts playmates," Kimiko Nagakura lowered her gaze, with sadness and gentleness in her eyes, "They had a very good relationship. Every time Mami Nagakura was bullied by the mischievous children in the Village, Eiji Nagakura would always stand up to protect her. And every time Eiji Nagakura was injured, Mami Nagakura would always help him bandaging. They were just one step away... Mami Nagakura must believe Eiji Nagakura is innocent, that's why she came to see him, it must be!"
"Innocent?" Conan asked in doubt.
"Will you ever stop?!" Gen Nagakura suddenly pushed Kimiko Nagakura, then said to Ayumi, "Little sister, I think you must have saw wrong, you absolutely saw wrong!"
Children are unwilling to be misunderstood. Ayumi insisted, "But I clearly saw her."
"Do you suspect she's lying? Uncle!" Genta stood up in dissatisfaction.
Mitsuhiko also got up and spoke up for Ayumi seriously, "Ayumi is not that kind of child who would deceive people!"
"Alright, calm down." Conan quickly said speak out to persuade them.
"Excuse me, how can you be sure Ayumi saw wrong?" Haibara Ai looked at Gen Nagakura, her attitude was relatively calm, but her tone was one of question.
"Is there even a need to say? The two of them..." Gen Nagakura paused, "Eiji Nagakura passed away last month, and Mami Nagakura already died ten years ago!"
Conan was astonished, "What?"
Ayumi was also startled, "Mami Nagakura already died ten years ago?"
Genta and Mitsuhiko were so scared they hugged each other.
"In other words, that was a Ghost?"
*Crash.*
The door next to them was opened. Shoji Sakaki and other Resident stood Outside the Door.
The smile on Shoji Sakaki's face was a bit stiff, "Although I'm a Man, however I'm most afraid of hearing this kind of story."
The two girls exchanged a glance.
"Indeed... it appeared!"
The Couple living here hugged each other without hesitation, comforting each other, showing affection.
Drunk Mori Kogoro got up and staggered to the Entrance, "What are you arguing about?"
"You guys..." Gen Nagakura suddenly became angry, scanning Mori Kogoro, Chi Feichi, Mouri Ran, and the Children, and questioned, "You were sent by them, right?"
"Husband..." Kimiko Nagakura frowned.
"I will absolutely not fall for it! I will never let you manipulate me, You just wait and see!" Gen Nagakura said a string of inexplicable words, then roared at Mori Kogoro, "Listen clearly, I never considered someone like Eiji Nagakura to be my Son!"
"Husband," Kimiko Nagakura said with reluctance, "Saying that, Eiji Nagakura is too pitiful!"
"Shut up!" Gen Nagakura shouted.
"Calm down a bit, Boss," Shoji Sakaki quickly stepped forward and grabbed Gen Nagakura's arm, "Your drinking manners are a bit too poor like this!"
"That's right," Mori Kogoro said drunkenly, "Don't get so angry, Let's have a drink to warm up first!"
"You don't need to bother with me!" Gen Nagakura roared at Shoji Sakaki and Mori Kogoro, then turned around and left the Room.
Kimiko Nagakura quickly followed, leaving a group of Resident silent at the Room entrance.
"It seems this Village has other stories besides Ghost," Haibara Ai said thoughtfully.
Mitsuhiko became excited, "This is quite worth our investigation!"
Genta also suddenly became energetic, "Correct!"
Chi Feichi looked at the group of kids eager to try, "Go sleep."
"We..."
Genta raised his head unconvinced and met Chi Feichi's gaze.
After a second of silence, the five kids obediently responded.
"Yes~"
...
Chi Feichi sent the group of kids to sleep and helped Mori Kogoro, who couldn't even stand steadily and was still shouting 'keep drinking', back to his Room.
As the candles in each Room were extinguished one after another, the remote village was enveloped in darkness and tranquility.
Conan lay in the bedding, listening to Mori Kogoro snoring like thunder near the Door, listening to Genta and Mitsuhiko muttering in sleep talking to his right hand side. He looked expressionless at the dim Ceiling for a while, spacing out. He turned over, preparing to sleep, when he suddenly discovered that Chi Feichi, who was lying silently to his left, wasn't asleep either. He asked in a low voice, "Brother Chi, you're not asleep yet?"
Chi Feichi was staring at the dim Ceiling and said 'Uh-huh'.
Maybe because Feichi wasn't here, he was a bit unaccustomed, or maybe because he's been staying up too much recently, he suddenly couldn't sleep.
Conan was just about to chat with Chi Feichi about today's strange occurrence, when he heard Chi Feichi suddenly say.
"You hurry up and sleep. Wait until you're asleep, I'm going out for a bit."
Conan: "..."
Since the words have been said to this extent, how can he still sleep?
"Go out?" Conan pulled back the quilt and sat up, curiously asking Chi Feichi, "It's so late, where else do you want to go?"
"You're very curious?" Chi Feichi said softly, pulling back the quilt and got up, walking towards the Window in the darkness.
"Of course," Conan got up and followed, said speechless, "When did you learn to be so secretive?"
"No, being secretive is wanting someone to ask further, and then tell the other party the answer..."
Chi Feichi pulled open the Window and directly jumped out from the Second Floor Window. His lowered voice drifted into the House from Outside the Door.
"And I never intended to tell you the answer at all."
"Hey..."
Conan stepped forward two steps, ran In Front of the Window, and leaned out and looked downwards, but could only see pitch black. He was stunned for a moment, then walked expressionless towards the bedding.
Understood, that black-hearted Chi Feichi just wanted him to be curious, wanted him to be unable to sleep along with him.
He wouldn't fall for Chi Feichi's trick!
But where exactly is that Guy Chi Feichi going? Whether it's related to today's matter? That Guy wouldn't have gotten some clues, right? Is it the clue about that mystery Girl Ayumi mentioned? Or the clue about Mr. Nagakura's strange attitude? What exactly is going on with the Girl Ayumi saw? How could a Girl who died ten years ago possibly appear? He doesn't believe Ghost exist in the World, then whether Chi Feichi discovered some mechanism trick? So that's why he plans to go investigate late at Night?...
(╯#-皿-)╯~~╧═╧
He, the Famous Detective, was too curious to sleep.
So, what exactly is that Guy Chi Feichi going to do going out at midnight?
Think, think carefully again, there might be clues he missed.
While Conan was recalling every detail after arriving at Guizawa Village today, after Chi Feichi left the Vicinity of the Nagakura Family under the cover of Night, he took out his mobile phone and started timing, and then randomly chose a direction and ran.
Guizawa Village is built against the Mountain. The Nagakura Family Home is at the very top. The Rooftops and tree branches along the way became Chi Feichi's Foothold.
The Rooftops of two buildings more than five meters apart were crossed. When a person landed on the Rooftop, the original old Thatched Cottage did not make a single sound.
The slender Tree Branch at the edge of a big tree standing by the Roadside was stepped on, but the Tree Branch did not break due to the human body weight, it just gently swayed, as if a breeze had passed by.
Chi Feichi, like a silent Ghost, swift as wind, went straight downwards. After reaching the Vicinity of the Shrine at the very bottom, he landed silently, took out his mobile phone, and stopped the timing.
2 minutes and 47 seconds...
His body indeed had a transformation.
The first time he felt the transformation was yesterday morning, after the feeling of fever and weakness in his limbs completely dissipated.
The first transformation was when he was walking, his own muscle and Bones would subconsciously adjust. Sometimes it was force on his foot, sometimes it was force on the muscle in his waist, the strength varied. These Adjustments were not the method of applying force that he had mastered, but also seemed like training for a long time, a habit that had already integrated into his Body. It didn't go through his brain's consideration at all, and was naturally used when walking, making his footsteps lighter and Action more effortless.
Probably because his footsteps were always kept very light previously, other people did not sense the abnormality, but he himself could feel it.
The Muscles Human can mobilize during Activity are limited. Yet when he was in Action, his Body could mobilize some Muscles that couldn't be mobilized normally, subtle and precise.
And after the test just now, it can be proven that under the circumstances of the same stamina consumption, his running speed was at least twice as fast, and his jump level also doubled. At the same time, his footsteps were much lighter than previously. Perhaps there wouldn't be much difference if placed In Front of a Human, but if it were an animal with keen hearing, under circumstances where they weren't fully focused on listening, it would probably be very difficult to sense his footsteps now.
Quite a blow. He always felt that the time, energy, blood, and sweat he spent practicing Light Body Technique for so many years in his Previous Life were like feeding a dog, not even as good as having a 'cold' for a period of time in this life.
If his Previous Life self met his current life self, he should have an impulse to 'kill myself due to mentality imbalance'.
He vaguely had a speculation that this transformation was brought by Nameless.
After all...
Among the Animals Beside him that call him 'Master', only Nameless, this Cat, fits the characteristic of light footsteps, fast speed, and agility reaction.
Moreover, a Cat's body temperature is higher than a Human's. Normally it will be between 38 degrees and 39.5 degrees. This is probably the reason he had a fever.
The second transformation is what he can feel when he is breathing.
It seemingly there is an extra Space in his lungs. During the process of inhaling and exhaling, a portion of gas will remain in that Space, and afterwards, it will be transmitted into the body by that Space.
He already tested this transformation yesterday. When breathing normally, a portion of the air entering his respiratory tract will remain in that Space. And if he wants to fill that Space at once, it will probably take five minutes. And after this Space is filled, it can allow him to hold his breath for two hours.
This is under normal environment. If it is in the Deep Sea with low air pressure, he needs more air to control the air pressure inside the body, then the breath-holding time will probably be shorter.
And when he had the discharge inspect and X-ray scan last night, his lungs did not discover any abnormality.
This transformation should be brought by Fei Li.
Whales can store oxygen in their blood and dive for a long time. And he, as a Human, doesn't have much blood, and the ability of blood to store oxygen is not as good as Whales. Probably because of this, The Three-No Gold Finger modified his lungs a bit.
In other words, his cold this time, which lasted ten days, is the side effect of the 'Body Modification' brought to him by Fei Li and Nameless...
Chi Feichi put away his mobile phone, moved and walked to the shrine entrance, his gaze locked onto a Window only big enough for a Child to crawl through, and tried to crawl in from that Window.
The entire process did not have much difficulty. He originally wasn't sure how to crawl through, but after his eyes fed back the window size to his brain, when in Action, his brain began to control his Bones and Muscles to make adjustments.
He could clearly feel the process of his Bones dislocating and restoring when passing through the Window, and then... passed through... It passed before he could properly feel it...
If the Big Shot who practiced Bone Shrinking Technique in his Previous Life knew, they would want to kill him even more than he himself. He didn't practice Bone Shrinking Technique in his Previous Life. That kind of Kung Fu needs to be practiced from a young age, make the Body soft, and practice for several decades. To practice Bone Shrinking Technique, one must give up some Martial Arts that focus on Strength. He never considered giving up Strength, naturally he wouldn't practice Bone Shrinking Technique, just training basic flexibility.
Chi Feichi pondered for a moment, took off his coat and threw it inside the Shrine, and repeatedly crawled back and forth through that small window twice. The third time he crawled into the Shrine, he chose to face upwards, and stopped when he was halfway through. His waist was stuck in the Window, his upper body folded backwards, with his spine as the center, his body hung in an '∧' shape in the Window.
The Human Body shouldn't be able to fold backwards to this extent. He had seen living people whose hands and feet folded backwards into an 'o' shape, living people whose hands and feet folded backwards into an 'n' shape, but those who could fold into an '∧' shape, he had only seen Corpses and his current self.
Alright, now the Big Shots who practice Judo should also want to kill him.
What can be confirmed is that he can stand up and be active, indicate that his Bones are not soft, but either the flexibility of his whole body's Bones has become stronger, or there is more cartilage connecting between the Bones...
Chi Feichi hung on the Window, was not in a hurry to get away. He reached out and shook his hand at the fastest speed and discovered that he couldn't see his own palm at all.
It seems he also has the Cat's Ability of 'shadowless palm continuous hand'.
Very good, if those Magician Experts knew his hand speed now, they would also particularly want to kill him.
In the Woods near the Shrine, the figure of a Little Girl wearing a yellow sweater and a red skirt appeared. Looking at the person who only had their lower body hanging on the Window, she was stunned.
Seemingly a Corpse whose spine has been broken...
The Little Girl's foot did not touch the ground, did not move. She floated to In Front of the Shrine, and then passed through the tightly closed Main Gate of the Shrine. She leaned in and looked at the Stranger hanging on the Window, and approached carefully.
Although the sky color was very dark, and the Shrine was even pitch black, but when the Little Girl, like a Ghost, passed through the Door and entered the House, Chi Feichi's peripheral vision captured that figure wearing a red skirt.
When the Little Girl approached, Chi Feichi had already confirmed that there was no projection in this House, nor did it seem like some mobile projection method, otherwise, when the Little Girl passed through the Shrine's door, her figure should have had some subtle transformation.
Could it be that Ghost truly exist?
After the Little Girl approached, she squatted down In Front of Chi Feichi.
Because Chi Feichi's waist was folded backwards, his hands hung by the wall, and his head was also hanging upside down, after the Little Girl squatted down, their lines of sight were just level.
Chi Feichi wanted to see what this thing was exactly and what it wanted to do, so he observed motionlessly.
The Little Girl also wanted to see what kind of thing Chi Feichi was. She squatted motionlessly and observed Chi Feichi, looked at the hair hanging downwards, the smooth forehead, the pale skin color under the Night sky, and that pair of purple eyes reflecting her figure, calm like an Abyss and also seemingly out of focus. She reached out and shook her hand, and seeing that the other party had no reaction, she brought her face closer.
Chi Feichi subconsciously held his breath.
A floating Girl figure squatted, one without breathing, not blinking, a Young Man whose Body was folded into a weird amplitude. Both parties remained Face to Face inside the Shrine for a long time.
Chi Feichi could even feel the Girl's hair strand brushing past, passed through his Face, leaving a trace of chill.
Two minutes later, the Little Girl got up with stiff limbs, staring at Chi Feichi. Whole body trembling, she retreated, and muttered speak out, "So, so scary... It's a corpse... So scary corpse..."
Chi Feichi: "..."
No, as a Ghost, how can you be afraid of corpses... Ptooey, he's not a corpse!
Please support the legitimate version... Carefully asking for Monthly Pass...
End of Chapter
An hour later, Mori Kogoro's flag fell.
Ayumi was lost...
"Huh?!"
Entrance, Mouri Ran looked at the four children who had returned for help in astonishment, "Ayumi is missing?"
"Sorry," Mitsuhiko said with a frustrated expression, "We lost her while playing."
Conan held the scarf he found that belonged to Ayumi, flipping through it. He then shook his head at Haibara Ai, who was looking over, "There are no clues on it."
"Anyway, I think it's better if more people go look for her," Genta said anxiously.
*Crash...*
The Dining Room door was opened.
Mouri Ran turned back and looked at the person coming from the Corridor, "Brother Hichiji? Ayumi is missing, I'll go find my Father..."
"No need to go, they're all drunk," Chi Feichi said, wearing his coat, walking towards the Entrance Hall, "Go find the Police Officer here for help."
Mouri Ran leaned her head out and saw a group of uncles in the Dining Room drunk and lying all over the floor. Then she looked at Chi Feichi's clear gaze: "..."
They were really all subdued.
A group of people went out again. This time, Kimiko Nagakura also followed to lead the way to find the local Police Officer.
"What's wrong with you guys?"
On the Road, the Purple Suit Man holding a flashlight saw a group of people passing by and shouted loudly, "Do you need help?"
Mouri Ran ran past in a hurry, "No need!"
"Hey, hey, too indifferent!" The Purple Suit Man shouted in dissatisfaction.
After the Police Officer mobilized the villagers to help search, the villagers found Ayumi, who had fallen asleep, at the Base of the Tree near the Shrine.
Chi Feichi stepped forward to check Ayumi's situation, took off his coat and covered Ayumi with it, then picked Ayumi up. He turned to Mouri Ran, who had run over anxiously, and said, "No trauma."
Mouri Ran breathed a sigh of relief and turned to thank the Police Officer and villagers.
It wasn't spring yet. Even if the weather was sunny during the daytime, the temperature at Night was still very low. A group of people did not stay in the Mountain Forest for long and returned to the Guesthouse with Ayumi.
An hour later, Ayumi, who was in the bedding, woke up. She opened her eyes and looked blankly at Chi Feichi sitting Beside her and the others who were surrounding her, "Brother Chi... and... Everyone?"
"Ayumi! Are you okay?" Mitsuhiko asked.
"Does anywhere hurt?" Mouri Ran also asked anxiously, "Do you feel injured anywhere?"
Ayumi felt her body and her voice was a bit weak, "It's nothing, I'm fine."
"Can you keep talking?" Conan saw Ayumi nod before continuing to ask, "What exactly happened?"
"This..." Ayumi recalled, "I was originally following Everyone to do the night watch, when I suddenly saw a beautiful Girl on another Road waving at me, so I followed her."
"Girl?" Conan asked in doubt.
"Uh-huh, she was probably about ten years old, with a bob cut," Ayumi said, "She was also wearing a red skirt..."
"Impossible," Gen Nagakura, who had just entered the Door, stood at the Entrance, his legs slightly trembling, his expression astonished, "This is impossible!"
Kimiko Nagakura behind Gen Nagakura was a bit excited, "She must have come here to see Eiji Nagakura, Mami Nagakura she..."
"Mami Nagakura?" Conan asked curiously.
Ayumi also sat up and looked at Kimiko Nagakura, "So her name is Mami Nagakura?"
"Yes, Mami Nagakura and our deceased Son Eiji Nagakura were childhood sweethearts playmates," Kimiko Nagakura lowered her gaze, with sadness and gentleness in her eyes, "They had a very good relationship. Every time Mami Nagakura was bullied by the mischievous children in the Village, Eiji Nagakura would always stand up to protect her. And every time Eiji Nagakura was injured, Mami Nagakura would always help him bandaging. They were just one step away... Mami Nagakura must believe Eiji Nagakura is innocent, that's why she came to see him, it must be!"
"Innocent?" Conan asked in doubt.
"Will you ever stop?!" Gen Nagakura suddenly pushed Kimiko Nagakura, then said to Ayumi, "Little sister, I think you must have saw wrong, you absolutely saw wrong!"
Children are unwilling to be misunderstood. Ayumi insisted, "But I clearly saw her."
"Do you suspect she's lying? Uncle!" Genta stood up in dissatisfaction.
Mitsuhiko also got up and spoke up for Ayumi seriously, "Ayumi is not that kind of child who would deceive people!"
"Alright, calm down." Conan quickly said speak out to persuade them.
"Excuse me, how can you be sure Ayumi saw wrong?" Haibara Ai looked at Gen Nagakura, her attitude was relatively calm, but her tone was one of question.
"Is there even a need to say? The two of them..." Gen Nagakura paused, "Eiji Nagakura passed away last month, and Mami Nagakura already died ten years ago!"
Conan was astonished, "What?"
Ayumi was also startled, "Mami Nagakura already died ten years ago?"
Genta and Mitsuhiko were so scared they hugged each other.
"In other words, that was a Ghost?"
*Crash.*
The door next to them was opened. Shoji Sakaki and other Resident stood Outside the Door.
The smile on Shoji Sakaki's face was a bit stiff, "Although I'm a Man, however I'm most afraid of hearing this kind of story."
The two girls exchanged a glance.
"Indeed... it appeared!"
The Couple living here hugged each other without hesitation, comforting each other, showing affection.
Drunk Mori Kogoro got up and staggered to the Entrance, "What are you arguing about?"
"You guys..." Gen Nagakura suddenly became angry, scanning Mori Kogoro, Chi Feichi, Mouri Ran, and the Children, and questioned, "You were sent by them, right?"
"Husband..." Kimiko Nagakura frowned.
"I will absolutely not fall for it! I will never let you manipulate me, You just wait and see!" Gen Nagakura said a string of inexplicable words, then roared at Mori Kogoro, "Listen clearly, I never considered someone like Eiji Nagakura to be my Son!"
"Husband," Kimiko Nagakura said with reluctance, "Saying that, Eiji Nagakura is too pitiful!"
"Shut up!" Gen Nagakura shouted.
"Calm down a bit, Boss," Shoji Sakaki quickly stepped forward and grabbed Gen Nagakura's arm, "Your drinking manners are a bit too poor like this!"
"That's right," Mori Kogoro said drunkenly, "Don't get so angry, Let's have a drink to warm up first!"
"You don't need to bother with me!" Gen Nagakura roared at Shoji Sakaki and Mori Kogoro, then turned around and left the Room.
Kimiko Nagakura quickly followed, leaving a group of Resident silent at the Room entrance.
"It seems this Village has other stories besides Ghost," Haibara Ai said thoughtfully.
Mitsuhiko became excited, "This is quite worth our investigation!"
Genta also suddenly became energetic, "Correct!"
Chi Feichi looked at the group of kids eager to try, "Go sleep."
"We..."
Genta raised his head unconvinced and met Chi Feichi's gaze.
After a second of silence, the five kids obediently responded.
"Yes~"
...
Chi Feichi sent the group of kids to sleep and helped Mori Kogoro, who couldn't even stand steadily and was still shouting 'keep drinking', back to his Room.
As the candles in each Room were extinguished one after another, the remote village was enveloped in darkness and tranquility.
Conan lay in the bedding, listening to Mori Kogoro snoring like thunder near the Door, listening to Genta and Mitsuhiko muttering in sleep talking to his right hand side. He looked expressionless at the dim Ceiling for a while, spacing out. He turned over, preparing to sleep, when he suddenly discovered that Chi Feichi, who was lying silently to his left, wasn't asleep either. He asked in a low voice, "Brother Chi, you're not asleep yet?"
Chi Feichi was staring at the dim Ceiling and said 'Uh-huh'.
Maybe because Feichi wasn't here, he was a bit unaccustomed, or maybe because he's been staying up too much recently, he suddenly couldn't sleep.
Conan was just about to chat with Chi Feichi about today's strange occurrence, when he heard Chi Feichi suddenly say.
"You hurry up and sleep. Wait until you're asleep, I'm going out for a bit."
Conan: "..."
Since the words have been said to this extent, how can he still sleep?
"Go out?" Conan pulled back the quilt and sat up, curiously asking Chi Feichi, "It's so late, where else do you want to go?"
"You're very curious?" Chi Feichi said softly, pulling back the quilt and got up, walking towards the Window in the darkness.
"Of course," Conan got up and followed, said speechless, "When did you learn to be so secretive?"
"No, being secretive is wanting someone to ask further, and then tell the other party the answer..."
Chi Feichi pulled open the Window and directly jumped out from the Second Floor Window. His lowered voice drifted into the House from Outside the Door.
"And I never intended to tell you the answer at all."
"Hey..."
Conan stepped forward two steps, ran In Front of the Window, and leaned out and looked downwards, but could only see pitch black. He was stunned for a moment, then walked expressionless towards the bedding.
Understood, that black-hearted Chi Feichi just wanted him to be curious, wanted him to be unable to sleep along with him.
He wouldn't fall for Chi Feichi's trick!
But where exactly is that Guy Chi Feichi going? Whether it's related to today's matter? That Guy wouldn't have gotten some clues, right? Is it the clue about that mystery Girl Ayumi mentioned? Or the clue about Mr. Nagakura's strange attitude? What exactly is going on with the Girl Ayumi saw? How could a Girl who died ten years ago possibly appear? He doesn't believe Ghost exist in the World, then whether Chi Feichi discovered some mechanism trick? So that's why he plans to go investigate late at Night?...
(╯#-皿-)╯~~╧═╧
He, the Famous Detective, was too curious to sleep.
So, what exactly is that Guy Chi Feichi going to do going out at midnight?
Think, think carefully again, there might be clues he missed.
While Conan was recalling every detail after arriving at Guizawa Village today, after Chi Feichi left the Vicinity of the Nagakura Family under the cover of Night, he took out his mobile phone and started timing, and then randomly chose a direction and ran.
Guizawa Village is built against the Mountain. The Nagakura Family Home is at the very top. The Rooftops and tree branches along the way became Chi Feichi's Foothold.
The Rooftops of two buildings more than five meters apart were crossed. When a person landed on the Rooftop, the original old Thatched Cottage did not make a single sound.
The slender Tree Branch at the edge of a big tree standing by the Roadside was stepped on, but the Tree Branch did not break due to the human body weight, it just gently swayed, as if a breeze had passed by.
Chi Feichi, like a silent Ghost, swift as wind, went straight downwards. After reaching the Vicinity of the Shrine at the very bottom, he landed silently, took out his mobile phone, and stopped the timing.
2 minutes and 47 seconds...
His body indeed had a transformation.
The first time he felt the transformation was yesterday morning, after the feeling of fever and weakness in his limbs completely dissipated.
The first transformation was when he was walking, his own muscle and Bones would subconsciously adjust. Sometimes it was force on his foot, sometimes it was force on the muscle in his waist, the strength varied. These Adjustments were not the method of applying force that he had mastered, but also seemed like training for a long time, a habit that had already integrated into his Body. It didn't go through his brain's consideration at all, and was naturally used when walking, making his footsteps lighter and Action more effortless.
Probably because his footsteps were always kept very light previously, other people did not sense the abnormality, but he himself could feel it.
The Muscles Human can mobilize during Activity are limited. Yet when he was in Action, his Body could mobilize some Muscles that couldn't be mobilized normally, subtle and precise.
And after the test just now, it can be proven that under the circumstances of the same stamina consumption, his running speed was at least twice as fast, and his jump level also doubled. At the same time, his footsteps were much lighter than previously. Perhaps there wouldn't be much difference if placed In Front of a Human, but if it were an animal with keen hearing, under circumstances where they weren't fully focused on listening, it would probably be very difficult to sense his footsteps now.
Quite a blow. He always felt that the time, energy, blood, and sweat he spent practicing Light Body Technique for so many years in his Previous Life were like feeding a dog, not even as good as having a 'cold' for a period of time in this life.
If his Previous Life self met his current life self, he should have an impulse to 'kill myself due to mentality imbalance'.
He vaguely had a speculation that this transformation was brought by Nameless.
After all...
Among the Animals Beside him that call him 'Master', only Nameless, this Cat, fits the characteristic of light footsteps, fast speed, and agility reaction.
Moreover, a Cat's body temperature is higher than a Human's. Normally it will be between 38 degrees and 39.5 degrees. This is probably the reason he had a fever.
The second transformation is what he can feel when he is breathing.
It seemingly there is an extra Space in his lungs. During the process of inhaling and exhaling, a portion of gas will remain in that Space, and afterwards, it will be transmitted into the body by that Space.
He already tested this transformation yesterday. When breathing normally, a portion of the air entering his respiratory tract will remain in that Space. And if he wants to fill that Space at once, it will probably take five minutes. And after this Space is filled, it can allow him to hold his breath for two hours.
This is under normal environment. If it is in the Deep Sea with low air pressure, he needs more air to control the air pressure inside the body, then the breath-holding time will probably be shorter.
And when he had the discharge inspect and X-ray scan last night, his lungs did not discover any abnormality.
This transformation should be brought by Fei Li.
Whales can store oxygen in their blood and dive for a long time. And he, as a Human, doesn't have much blood, and the ability of blood to store oxygen is not as good as Whales. Probably because of this, The Three-No Gold Finger modified his lungs a bit.
In other words, his cold this time, which lasted ten days, is the side effect of the 'Body Modification' brought to him by Fei Li and Nameless...
Chi Feichi put away his mobile phone, moved and walked to the shrine entrance, his gaze locked onto a Window only big enough for a Child to crawl through, and tried to crawl in from that Window.
The entire process did not have much difficulty. He originally wasn't sure how to crawl through, but after his eyes fed back the window size to his brain, when in Action, his brain began to control his Bones and Muscles to make adjustments.
He could clearly feel the process of his Bones dislocating and restoring when passing through the Window, and then... passed through... It passed before he could properly feel it...
If the Big Shot who practiced Bone Shrinking Technique in his Previous Life knew, they would want to kill him even more than he himself. He didn't practice Bone Shrinking Technique in his Previous Life. That kind of Kung Fu needs to be practiced from a young age, make the Body soft, and practice for several decades. To practice Bone Shrinking Technique, one must give up some Martial Arts that focus on Strength. He never considered giving up Strength, naturally he wouldn't practice Bone Shrinking Technique, just training basic flexibility.
Chi Feichi pondered for a moment, took off his coat and threw it inside the Shrine, and repeatedly crawled back and forth through that small window twice. The third time he crawled into the Shrine, he chose to face upwards, and stopped when he was halfway through. His waist was stuck in the Window, his upper body folded backwards, with his spine as the center, his body hung in an '∧' shape in the Window.
The Human Body shouldn't be able to fold backwards to this extent. He had seen living people whose hands and feet folded backwards into an 'o' shape, living people whose hands and feet folded backwards into an 'n' shape, but those who could fold into an '∧' shape, he had only seen Corpses and his current self.
Alright, now the Big Shots who practice Judo should also want to kill him.
What can be confirmed is that he can stand up and be active, indicate that his Bones are not soft, but either the flexibility of his whole body's Bones has become stronger, or there is more cartilage connecting between the Bones...
Chi Feichi hung on the Window, was not in a hurry to get away. He reached out and shook his hand at the fastest speed and discovered that he couldn't see his own palm at all.
It seems he also has the Cat's Ability of 'shadowless palm continuous hand'.
Very good, if those Magician Experts knew his hand speed now, they would also particularly want to kill him.
In the Woods near the Shrine, the figure of a Little Girl wearing a yellow sweater and a red skirt appeared. Looking at the person who only had their lower body hanging on the Window, she was stunned.
Seemingly a Corpse whose spine has been broken...
The Little Girl's foot did not touch the ground, did not move. She floated to In Front of the Shrine, and then passed through the tightly closed Main Gate of the Shrine. She leaned in and looked at the Stranger hanging on the Window, and approached carefully.
Although the sky color was very dark, and the Shrine was even pitch black, but when the Little Girl, like a Ghost, passed through the Door and entered the House, Chi Feichi's peripheral vision captured that figure wearing a red skirt.
When the Little Girl approached, Chi Feichi had already confirmed that there was no projection in this House, nor did it seem like some mobile projection method, otherwise, when the Little Girl passed through the Shrine's door, her figure should have had some subtle transformation.
Could it be that Ghost truly exist?
After the Little Girl approached, she squatted down In Front of Chi Feichi.
Because Chi Feichi's waist was folded backwards, his hands hung by the wall, and his head was also hanging upside down, after the Little Girl squatted down, their lines of sight were just level.
Chi Feichi wanted to see what this thing was exactly and what it wanted to do, so he observed motionlessly.
The Little Girl also wanted to see what kind of thing Chi Feichi was. She squatted motionlessly and observed Chi Feichi, looked at the hair hanging downwards, the smooth forehead, the pale skin color under the Night sky, and that pair of purple eyes reflecting her figure, calm like an Abyss and also seemingly out of focus. She reached out and shook her hand, and seeing that the other party had no reaction, she brought her face closer.
Chi Feichi subconsciously held his breath.
A floating Girl figure squatted, one without breathing, not blinking, a Young Man whose Body was folded into a weird amplitude. Both parties remained Face to Face inside the Shrine for a long time.
Chi Feichi could even feel the Girl's hair strand brushing past, passed through his Face, leaving a trace of chill.
Two minutes later, the Little Girl got up with stiff limbs, staring at Chi Feichi. Whole body trembling, she retreated, and muttered speak out, "So, so scary... It's a corpse... So scary corpse..."
Chi Feichi: "..."
No, as a Ghost, how can you be afraid of corpses... Ptooey, he's not a corpse!
