Conan's other me

Chapter 14 The Knight of the Art Museum ([-])

"It's still the same as usual, there are no tourists! They are all little devils who can only accept children's tickets."

"T-True Boss..."

"In ten days, this place will be closed," Boss Manaka said to the curator Ochiai. "Before the museum closes, I will trouble you with these rusty pieces of copper..."

Mao Lilan, who was about to tell the curator Ochiai to change the exhibition hall, froze for a moment, a little surprised.

So when Boss Zhenzhong left, she went up to ask if the museum was really going to close.Only then did everyone learn that Boss Zhenzhong had bought the art gallery and planned to convert it into a restaurant.

Conan followed Xiaolan and the uncle to listen to the curator, while the rest gathered together and started whispering.

"The curator is so fierce." Ayumi said aside.

"That's right! It's scary! Why are you shouting so loudly!" Yuan Tai said angrily.

"Obviously it's all Yuanta's fault!" Mitsuhiko said, "Paintings are easily damaged, you—"

"What are you talking about!" Yuan Tai looked extremely fierce, but he deliberately lowered his voice, and even secretly glanced at the curator not far away, which looked a little funny instead.

"Okay, we're here to catch ghosts." Seeing that they were about to quarrel, Fengyuan persuaded them, "If you don't unite, you will be defeated by ghosts, okay?"

Mao Lilan bid farewell to the curator, feeling a little disappointed that the museum will be closed soon.Conan looked thoughtfully at the armor that had just been dropped twice by the staff member called Kubota.

A group of people set foot on the road of sightseeing again.

After what happened just now, the elementary school students seemed to be calmer.But after passing through a few exhibition halls, they became restless again as they wanted to catch ghosts.

However, they only heard that there is a self-moving armor here, and they don't know the exact location, so they can only dispel the idea of ​​sneaking away and follow the Maori family to visit.

After a while, when the children felt a little tired, a group of people came to a corner.

"Huh...? Forbidden entry?"

When a group of people turned the corner, they saw a sign standing in front of them, which said "Non-staff members are not allowed to enter".

"Strange... There should be an exhibition hall in front of this..." Xiao Lan held the tour brochure and asked in confusion.

"It's the Hell Exhibition Hall, sister Xiaolan." Fengyuan said, also holding a guidebook in his hand.

"Yes! It says..."

"Earth, hell!?" The three primary school students exclaimed.

"It's just called this name, it's not really hell..." Xiaolan, who thought the elementary school students were scared, comforted, "And my sister is—"

"Hell!" Mitsuhiko repeated.

"...Huh?" Xiaolan noticed that the elementary school students didn't look scared, but...excited?
"When it comes to hell, it's easy to think of ghosts!" Mitsuhiko said.

"Hey--" Conan vaguely felt bad.

"Yes!" Ayumi, Mitsuhiko, and Genta got together, their eyes sparkling, "That ghost hiding in the armor! It must be right in front of us!"

"Hey, you little devils, don't you think you want to sneak in again?" Uncle Maori said angrily. Conan was sent home by the Megure Police Department in the last haunted house incident, so he also knew what these little devils did.

"But, but," Ayumi struggled, "If some staff encounter ghosts inside, it will be bad!"

"What kind of ghosts, what a mess, they are all tricks to deceive you little ghosts, go away!"

Uncle Maori turned his head while talking.

In fact, Xiaolan really wanted to see the exhibition hall inside, but since it was temporarily closed, there was no other way.

"I told you not to call these troublesome brats." Conan complained to Fengbara in a low voice, and then called Ayumi and others to leave, "Okay, Ayumi, Genta, Mitsuhiko, let's go, maybe later—"

"Hey! You guys! Come back to me!" Conan shouted.

Mao Lilan and Uncle Mao Li hurriedly turned their heads again.

The three little guys who were whispering together just now quietly walked around the sign that said "No Entry".

"Discovered!"

"Run!"

Ayumi, Genta and Mitsuhiko ran away.

……

Because there was another corner ahead, the three of them disappeared from the sight of Conan and the others in an instant.No way, after struggling for a while, the angry Uncle Mao Li and Xiao Lan decided to go in and catch the naughty ghosts.

Bypassing the sign and passing through a long corridor, the light inside suddenly dimmed.

"I told you not to shout—" Conan, who was behind, spoke again.

"You just said it again." Fengyuan interrupted the spellcasting, and then said, "I just didn't expect...with adults around, they can be so naughty."

Saved him a lot of trouble.

"Yeah... What a bunch of troublesome brats." Conan nodded in agreement.He also didn't expect this, so he gave these little devils a chance to sneak in.

Fortunately, the exhibition hall of Hell was not that big, and when a few people walked in, they found Ayumi and others pointing in front of a few pairs of armor.

"It's so dark here... so scary..." Ayumi shrank behind Mitsuhiko and Genta timidly.

"What are you afraid of, coward!" Yuan Tai said dissatisfied.

"There are several sets of armor here... which one can move?" Mitsuhiko was lost in thought.

"Ah, I found it!" Xiaolan walked into the exhibition hall and breathed a sigh of relief, "Really, come back with me soon, it would be bad if someone found out—"

"ah!"

The trio who were discovered wanted to escape again, but the exhibition hall was not big, so there was not much room to escape. Ayumi who turned around and looked back just took two steps back to the side, and then tripped with her left foot and her right foot——

"Danger!" Conan yelled.There are many props on the ground nearby.

All of a sudden, his eyes focused on Ayumi.She obviously lost her balance and was about to fall to the ground.

However, the next moment, something that surprised everyone happened.

A pair of armor near Ayumi suddenly moved.

The armor threw the knight's long sword aside, took a step to the side, and used his left arm to support Ayumi, who was about to fall, and held him in his arms.

……

"Armor that can move..." Xiaolan stammered.She is actually most afraid of ghosts and things like that.

Conan's eyes also sharpened.

Fengbara looked at the armor meaningfully.

"Stand behind me, Xiaolan!" Uncle Mao Li's eyes narrowed, and he stepped forward to protect Xiaolan, "And you little brats!"

A sigh came from the armor.

Strange... why does it feel a little familiar?Conan thought suspiciously.

Just when Genta and Mitsuhiko looked at Ayumi, who was still held by the armor, and were about to launch a head hammer attack on the armor, the armor man sighed again, helped Ayumi who had been in a daze, and straightened up.

Then he took off his helmet.
