Conan's villains

"This must be someone's prank."Tsukamoto Sumi said nonchalantly,"He did this just to scare everyone with supernatural events. Haha... If I see this boring guy, I will definitely catch him and beat him up." Xiaolan smiled dryly, almost forgetting that the senior sister in front of her was also a karate master like herself.

No other useful clues were found in the library. In order not to disturb the students' studies, Lu Ming and the other two left the library and came to the next place where supernatural events had occurred.

"This is the cursed staircase."Sonoko pointed at the normal-looking staircase and said seriously,"It is said that a student came here in the morning and found that the bottom of the stairs was completely flooded. Moreover, Hosaka Eiaki also fell down this staircase. Could it be that……"

Sonoko suddenly thought of something and looked at Xiaolan with horror:"Are these the tears of Baoban Yingzhang's curse?"

Xiaolan was frightened by Sonoko's appearance. She grabbed Sonoko's hand tightly and her voice trembled a little:"Sonoko, you, don't go on."

The appearance of the two girls made Lu Ming feel funny. He guessed:"Maybe it rained the day before and the windows were not closed properly, which caused the bottom of the stairs to be soaked." Sonoko shook her head and denied:"This should be impossible. We are all high school students and will not make such a mistake. Besides, I heard that this staircase has no number of steps and the steps will be different."

This is a very strange thing. Lu Ming became interested and said:"Why don't you and Xiaolan try to walk together and see if the steps are the same. If it is really as you said, the number of steps is different, then I will take back my previous flowers. Maybe it is really the ghost of classmate Baoban Yingzhang who is at work."

Xiaolan and Sonoko looked at each other. Although they were afraid, they were more curious. They were curious about whether the number of steps in the stairs in front of them was the same.

The two held hands, giving each other a sense of security, chanting numbers, and began to walk forward step by step.

"Xiaolan, how many did you count?"After walking down the first floor, Yuanzi asked Xiaolan

"I'm twelve."

"What?" Upon hearing this number, Sonoko's face suddenly changed:"Why did I count thirteen? Could it be that the ghost of Hoban Eiaki is really haunting me? Ah!!!"

"No way, how could this happen?" Xiaolan's face also became very ugly.

"The correct answer should be twelve." Lu Ming, who was standing below, looked at the two panicked women and shook his head:"Yuanzi counted to thirteen because he put his feet together when he reached the last floor, which resulted in an extra number."

"So that's how it is." After listening to Lu Ming's explanation, the two women breathed a sigh of relief at the same time. They didn't expect that they would be the ones who scared them in the end.

"" Whew!"

When the two girls came down the stairs, the door of a classroom next to them was opened from the inside, and a boy with a paintbrush walked out. He looked at them with dissatisfaction and said,"You guys, can you please be quiet for a moment? You guys are affecting my painting."

"No, sorry." Xiaolan apologized quickly.

But the boy didn't seem to want to hear their explanation. After he finished speaking, he closed the door without waiting for Xiaolan to finish her apology.

"What kind of person is this?" Yuanzi put her hands on her hips and shouted towards the classroom door:"He has already apologized."

""Okay, Yuanzi, after all, we were the ones who made the mistake first." Xiaolan persuaded Yuanzi, looked out the window, and saw that the rain had stopped. She said in surprise:"Look, the rain has stopped. I think we should stop here today. In fact, after listening to what Teacher Lu Ming said, I am not so scared anymore."

"That's good." Lu Ming smiled and said,"As long as you understand that there are no ghosts in this world, even if there are supernatural events, they are man-made."

""Yeah." Xiaolan nodded:"Besides, it's already so late now. If I don't go back, Dad will……"

Xiaolan said, putting her hands on the windowsill and looking out. Suddenly, her face changed drastically. She stepped back a few steps, pointed out the window and said,"Outside, outside……"

""What's going on outside?" Seeing Xiaolan in a panic, Lu Ming walked to the window and looked out.

On the playground outside the window, there was a desk with a piece of white paper on it, which seemed to be rubbed by stones and rustled in the cold wind.

"How is this possible? Could it be that the desk is?"Yuanzi also saw the scene outside, holding Lu Ming's arms tightly with both hands, with a look of fear on her face.

Lu Ming concentrated his mind and comforted the two girls, saying,"Don't panic, let's go outside and take a look. Maybe it's a prank by a classmate."

However, it seemed that what happened this time made the two girls very scared. The two girls held Lu Ming's arms on the left and right, and let Lu Ming lead them downstairs to the playground.
