Chapter 121 Hostages
After hearing this, Edogawa Conan's hand trembled. After thinking for a while, he stood up from the corner, walked around the wall, and sure enough, he found a dog hole at the base of the wall.
The existence of such holes is not uncommon in this kind of mental hospital, because some of the patients are basically adults or teenagers, and it is too difficult for them to get through such a hole, but this makes it convenient for Conan Edogawa to get in.
He wants to expose the evil inside and bring the murderer to justice.
Conan Edogawa nimbly crawled in through the dog hole. When he stepped into the gate of the mental hospital, he suddenly felt his hair stand on end and his instinct was screaming at him to leave.
After calming himself down, Edogawa Conan took a deep breath, suppressed the fear that was rising in his heart for some reason, and climbed up one floor at a time.
***
Shi Ning and Fushiguro Megumi went up to the fourth floor. Just as the boy said, as soon as they climbed to the fourth floor, Shi Ning saw a head embedded in the wall.
It was a girl, her face distorted by pain and fear, her eyes wide open and filled with terror.
Shi Ning forced himself to look away and look into the deep and dark corridor.
The cursed spirit must be inside.
Fushiguro Megumi put his hands together and made a hand shadow of a dog, and said in a low voice: "'Jade Dog'!"
Two large furry dogs, one black and one white, emerged from Fushiguro Megumi's shadow. As soon as they appeared, they howled at the empty corridor.
"The jade dogs are very sensitive to cursed spirits. They can help us locate the exact location of the curse." The jade dogs ran quickly forward, with Fushiguro Megumi and Tokina following behind.
A huge cursed spirit was wriggling at the end of the corridor, like a ball of flesh made up of countless people's eyes and bodies. Just one look at it made people feel uncomfortable. In the place where it could barely be seen as a mouth, there were three bodies stuffed in it, and it was obviously no longer making any sound.
Fushiguro Megumi became alert the moment he saw the cursed spirit. He spoke quickly and sharply: "This is not a third-level cursed spirit, but a first-level one! It is better than the special-level one I originally thought."
"Are we now - waiting for Teacher Gojo to come over?" Shi Ning frowned. She looked at this eye-catching curse spirit and truly felt as if her eyes had been hit hard.
"No, Gojo-sensei won't come." Fushiguro Megumi quickly rejected her plan. "Gojo-sensei had already checked the level of this cursed spirit before letting us come. Now a level one cursed spirit has appeared. This can only mean that someone has put a cursed object that can increase the power of the cursed spirit into its body."
"Can't you just make a phone call?" The curse spirit noticed the presence of the two young sorcerers. Their powerful curse power and bodies made the curse spirit quite covetous. It directly extended a part of itself and slammed it hard at the place where the two had just stood.
A huge roar along with dust and debris occurred, catching Edogawa Conan off guard. He subconsciously looked up at the roof, a little surprised.
After all, in general places, there are only a handful of houses that can remain stable after experiencing this level of vibration.
"No way to make a phone call!" Fushiguro Megumi coughed twice, stood firm and shouted, "There is no signal in the tent."
"Huh?" Shi Ning was a little surprised. "No signal? Doesn't that mean we can't even call for support?"
"Otherwise, what do you think...how did the death rate of sorcerers come from?!" The continuous attacks had forced the two men to retreat continuously. Fushiguro Megumi narrowed his eyes, carefully observing the attack methods of the cursed spirits, and then suddenly made a shadow hand movement.
"'Nue'!" A masked owl suddenly appeared behind the cursed spirit, and its electric wings swept past fiercely. The cursed spirit let out a provocative scream and actually stood up.
Countless arms stretched out from the body of the curse spirit, and unclear words came out of its mouth, rushing towards the two of them like a small mountain.
Shi Ning didn't have time to bring her spell tools, but she didn't care. She had the rock element, so if she didn't have spell tools, she could make one herself. Any weapon condensed from pure elements could be used.
The Eye of God hanging around his waist was shining with golden light, and was particularly noticeable in the dark and gloomy corridor.
The golden sword had some black lines on it, which made it look noble and sinister, making people feel uncomfortable.
Shi Ning tried to add the demon residue stored in his body into the sword. Sure enough, the two merged exceptionally smoothly.
Since the remnants of the demon can be added, can other elements be added?
When this thought flashed through his mind, Shi Ning immediately decided to try again after returning to school. Now was not a good time to conduct experiments.
With a weapon in hand, Shi Ning instantly felt more confident and swung his sword directly to cut the tentacles of the cursed spirit.
"Freedom... freedom--" The curse spirit muttered these two words, and his body suddenly grew a little bigger, blocking the road ahead tightly. Countless hands stretched out from the gaps and touched the wall. The originally hard walls around them immediately opened countless pairs of eyes, and countless hands stretched out from the walls, stretching continuously like crazy, grabbing towards the two people.
This cursed spirit has not reached the special grade, but it has been able to create a field similar to a domain. Although it is not yet a domain, it is almost there.
"What......?!"
Conan Edogawa, who had just reached the third floor, originally wanted to go to the end to see the situation at the crime scene, but halfway there he was grabbed by the neck by a sticky, hand-like creature and carried to the fourth floor.
A huge ball of flesh, malicious eyes all over the corridor, pairs of arms stretched out as far as they could, two dusty dogs, a masked owl, and two "professionals" who had just come in.
Conan Edogawa felt that the materialistic values he had persisted for for so long had been fully shaken. Simply put, he crashed.
"Conan?" Shi Ning only then realized that things were getting serious.
What's going on? Although the detective is very curious, isn't it a bit too much for so many people outside to watch over a child?
Didn't the assistant supervisor arrange the account? Why would an ordinary person come in?
"Mmmmm!" Being strangled by the neck and held in the air by an unknown creature, Edogawa Conan struggled a few times, but gained nothing except getting his neck injured by the sharp nails.
"We can't beat him." Fushiguro Megumi said expressionlessly, "We can't exorcise this cursed spirit no matter how hard we try. I don't know why it wants hostages, but--"
"This child must have run in from outside. The Jade Dog will attract the attention of the Curse Spirit in a while. I will buy time for you."
A hedgehog-like boy stood in front of Shi Ning. Although he was thin and a child in his prime, he seemed to be accustomed to putting himself in danger.
Shi Ning realized belatedly that the sorcerers around him seemed... a little sick?
