The famous criminal in the world of Conan

"hehe,"

Ji Gong Zhan Zi smiled lightly and narrowed her eyes.

"Who is the number one disciple is not determined by who became the disciple first."

"It still depends on us three disciples to see who can perfectly reproduce the master's fantastic art."

"Zhan Zi..."

As the eldest brother, Fan Tianli frowned slightly and reminded Ji Gong Zhan Zi in a deep voice.

However, Himiya Zhanzi did not give Fan Tianli a chance to speak.

She crossed her arms and smiled wickedly.

"If we perform together later, my finale will be—"

"The Witch's Resurrection."

The Witch's Resurrection...

When Himemiya Nobuko said this, there was a flash of surprise and astonishment in the eyes of Zhengying Manli, Xinghe Douwu, Fan Tianli and even Chunjing Fuden.

Himemiya Nobuko ignored the expressions of the four of them.

She had not originally intended to announce her finale so early, but Yuanshan Heye's careless words just now still affected her mood.

Although Himimiya Nobuko did not care much about her identity as Master Zhengying's disciple, she cared very much about the resources of being Master Zhengying's number one disciple, or heir.

Apart from anything else, if she could surpass Xinghe Dougo in this aspect, then both the magic world and Harui Fuden would look at her differently, and she might be able to make further progress.

Therefore, Himemiya Nobuko directly described the magic she wanted to perform to the others.

"A huge cross was erected in the center of the auditorium, and my body was fixed on top of the cross, while the other end of the rope was held by the audience, so that I could be completely blocked by the rope."

"After that, I will light the cross with flames and kerosene. I will disappear in front of the audience before the flames burn out, and then miraculously appear from the ashes of the flames!"

“Isn’t it incredible?”

boom!

It is not known whether it is incredible or not, but her words were like a thunderbolt, heavily hitting the minds of Zhengying Manli, Xinghe Tongwu, Fan Tianli and Chunjing Fengchuan.

Chunjing Fengchuan first glanced at Zhengying Manli, but saw that Zhengying Manli shook his head slightly, while Fan Tianli and Xinghe Tongwu were silent, and no one knew what they were thinking.

“It was truly an incredible performance.”

Xiaolan seemed to notice that the atmosphere at the scene had become inexplicably dull, so she smiled and echoed Himimiya Nobuko's words.

"Hmmmm, that sounds really desirable."

When Yuanshan Heye saw Xiaolan speak, he quickly helped say something, showing his courtesy as a guest.

When Himimiya Nobuko heard the two of them say this, the comparison she had originally felt gradually subsided, and a smug smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.

"Yeah, it's incredible and very desirable, right?"

"Then you two ladies are welcome to come and watch my performance next time."

"Haha, definitely."

Xiaolan and Heye responded one after another.

However, they did not notice that the atmosphere was becoming increasingly strange.

At least, the atmosphere among the people related to Master Zhengying is becoming increasingly strange.

Hattori Heiji and Conan, as well as Hakuba Matsu and Sato Miwako, all noticed this.

"Ason, didn't you just...?"

Sato Miwako gently tugged at Bai Masong's sleeve and whispered.

Bai Masong shook his head slightly, signaling her not to speak for the time being.

It seemed that the psychological comparison she had just felt was satisfied, making Himimiya Nobuko feel happy. She was the first to speak to everyone,

"Well, I haven't been to the teacher's house for a long time. I want to look around."

"Um,"

Zheng Yingmanli forced a stiff smile on his face, and then said to everyone,

"It's getting late, I'd better go prepare dinner for everyone."

"We're here to help, too."

Xiaolan and Kazuha also spoke up.

They were not familiar with the family to begin with, and today they were warmly invited to dinner. They felt embarrassed to come empty-handed and then go back empty-handed without doing anything.

"I......."

Sato Miwako also wanted to volunteer, but Bai Masong grabbed her hand and looked at her with a strange look.

Your level...

Well, let's not embarrass ourselves...

The two exchanged glances in silence, and then Sato Miwako swallowed the words she was about to say.

Seeing this, Xinghe Tongwu also smiled at Zhengying Manli,

"Master's wife, I haven't been here for a long time. I've been looking around."

"yawn--"

Fan Tianli yawned and said to Zhengying Manli,

"I got up at about six in the morning. I think I should go to my room and take a short rest."

"OK,"

Zhengying Manli smiled at the two disciples and said,

"Then I'll call you later when I'm ready to eat."

Afterwards, Hakuba Matsu, Sato Miwako, Harui Fuden and his granddaughter sat down in the living room together, while Masae Manri, Xiaolan and Toyama Kazuha went into the kitchen together.

Hattori Heiji and Conan originally wanted to be idle guests, but were pulled into the kitchen by Xiaolan and Kazuha to help.

However, it seems that asking them to help is not a very good idea -

The two great detectives, who are very good at reasoning, feel at a loss as to where to start when faced with bottles, jars, and various knives in the kitchen.

More than ten minutes passed, and neither of them had finished cutting a single cucumber.

Outside, Bai Masong and his companions were chatting with Harui Fuden and Tanaka Takahisa. Not long after, Xinghe Dougo came down and joined the chat.

During this period, although Sato Miwako wanted to ask the reason for the previous deadlock, Bai Masong did not ask.

After a while, Zhengying Manli came out with an anxious look on his face.

"Oh, Brother Harui, Mr. Hakuba, and Ms. Sato, I'm so sorry, we don't have enough seasoning at home. I'm going out to buy some now, and I'll still catch up."

"No, no,"

Sato Miwako quickly stood up from the sofa and said to Masakage Manri,

"Mrs. Zhengying, you are too polite. We are here to visit you, so how can we ask you to go out and buy things? We are just sitting here doing nothing. It's better for Asong and I to go."

"That's right, it's more appropriate for Miwako and I to go."

Bai Masong also nodded, stood up and was about to go out with Sato Miwako.
