Oritis in the world of Detective Conan

Chapter 538: Letter (Part 3)

As a public security official, Toru Amuro detests such things: "If it weren't for the pressure from this senior official, the two brothers wouldn't have died."

Kudo Shinichi recalled what the Umbrella Soul had said to him: "There is a price to pay for being chivalrous and righteous." If he were to encounter such a thing, would he do the same to protect the people around him? No, he absolutely did not want such a thing to happen. In any case, he did not want to implicate Xiaolan.

[Zhiqing Group Sing: The world is filled with love, and life will never end.]

[No matter what kind of emotion it is, in this manor where misfortune grows rampantly, it will only become the nourishment of suffering.]

"Emotions are the most difficult mysteries in the world, but this manor is simply trampling on these beautiful emotions..." Kudo Shinichi lowered his head.

[Chapter 3 Qiansi: I know how to live, but who am I?]

[Being trapped in self-doubt is the root of their pain. Perhaps if they just let go of everything and live like a puppet, they won't suffer.]

Seeing the title of this chapter, Vermouth frowned. According to this title, the characters appearing in this chapter should all be poor people who cannot control their own destiny.

Jack——Jack

[It is a paintbrush, it is a sharp blade, there is no escape. ]

Jack was once an excellent painter and a student of James Whistler. One day, a voice in his heart urged him to cut open the belly of his stuffed bear. Apparently, he got nothing except a ball of cotton.

But soon, he found himself inexplicably appearing in other places at night, his brushes and tools quietly moved, and one day, he even sat up in a pool of blood and found that his parents had been disemboweled.

Jack finally realized that there was another person living in his body. Only when he painted would the monster be quieter, but how to eradicate this monster?

After finishing a landscape painting, Jack gazed at the windowsill of his studio and then jumped out. But he did not die, and neither did "them". At this moment, Jack the Ripper was truly reborn.

In the second experiment, Jack killed the recorder and fought a life-and-death battle with the wax figure artist.

The opening was a thunderbolt. Although Kudo Shinichi had anticipated Jack's experience, he never expected that Jack had made such efforts to eradicate his second personality, but ultimately failed, and instead allowed the second personality to take the initiative.

The rest of the game was the same as in the "Cocoon" game. However, Kudo Shinichi could confirm that the manor must have studied the grouping of the experiment. After all, the second group was composed of professionals related to crime.

[Priest——Fiona Gilman]

[It is sacred, it is a nightmare, it obeys the gods. ]

[Fiona was taught to believe in God since she was a child, so when she grew up, in order to seek the true meaning of faith, she came to Lakeview Village to explore the miracles of the so-called "true God", but touching the Supreme requires a price, not to mention that there is more than one believer in Lakeview Village at that time.

Congressman Bills tried to use a formation to summon the true God, but ended up with a tragic result. Almost everyone here was dissolved into a pool of water in that "Supreme Divinity".

The priest died in the sixth group A experiment due to touching the "Supreme Godhead".

Kuroba Kaito's eyes widened. "So abstract? I mean, this formation really summoned a god?"

"Even if we summoned a god, it would be an evil god. Didn't you see that all the people were dissolved?" Hattori Heiji scratched his hair. He was just about to complain that the monster incidents he encountered were very bizarre, but he didn't expect that the incidents here were even more bizarre.

【Violinist——Antonio】

【Flesh and blood are dominated, and talent is sacrificed.】

Antonio was a renowned violin virtuoso, often invited to perform by the royal family and earning substantial royalties. He didn't use all of his money for pleasure; instead, he gave most of it to the poor in the slums and spent the rest on a life of luxury. He lived a free and unrestrained life.

Until the princess imprisoned Antonio for his talent, and required Antonio to play beautiful music with a string, otherwise he would be imprisoned in a tower forever.

Antonio tried various things but still couldn't play music with a single string, so he sacrificed his soul to the devil. The devil controlled his body and played the magic music with a single string, killing the royal family members who came to watch the ceremony.

The violinist died of drug overdose during the third Group A experiment.

"Mr. Antonio..." Xiaolan had of course seen this violin master before. In her opinion, although the other party was a little out of tune, the beautiful sound of the piano proved that the violinist was not a bad person. He was only forced to be dominated by the devil in the end.

[Puppeteer——Matthias Czernin, Louis]

【When my role is replaced, my ego disappears.】

[Matthias was born in a not very normal family. His family ran a puppet theater. Many of his ancestors were close relatives, so the family had serious genetic diseases. His parents happened not to be close relatives, so he was the only normal person in this crazy family.

It was obvious that a normal person couldn't make any waves among a bunch of crazy people, not to mention that Matthias was still very young at the time. Even though Matthias had excellent puppet making skills and ventriloquism, this did not stop his father from wanting him to become a "normal person."

Matthias's parents treated his puppet, Louis, as their own son, but ignored him. Eventually, driven mad, Matthias set fire to his home, and he himself was not spared, with half of his face burned off.

"What a shitty family!" Maori Kogoro couldn't help but curse. "Just for this reason, they drove their talented son crazy? They are really inhumane!"

Many people present agreed with Kogoro Mouri's remarks. Kaito Kuroba even felt that the puppeteer was very lucky to be able to survive in such a family.

[Dancing Girl——Margaretha Zelay/Natalie/Natasha Hayward]

[Used to relying on and being pitied by others.]

【Crying Clown——Juke】

【In life, only I am absent. 】

The bond between the two was forged in Lakeview Village, heated up in the Noisy Circus, and finally turned to ashes in the final performance.

In the eighth experiment, the dancer committed suicide by jumping into the river, and the weeping clown died for love.

"So what happened at the final performance had actually happened once before in the manor?" Amuro Toru sighed deeply, and it was unclear whether he was lamenting the fate of the two or lamenting that such a drama had been performed twice.

[Guard No. 26——Bang Bang]

【Machines can still possess the ability to think.】

[Bang Bang is a robot created by Balk. Although Balk believes that machines only need to complete their work, Bang Bang is still attracted to the little master of the house.

"Nice to meet you, Bang Bang!"

In response to this, Bang Bang decided to pick a bouquet of flowers and give it to his lovely little master. However, when he arrived with the unsent flowers in his hand, he discovered that his home had become a ruin and the lovely girl was nowhere to be found.

"This is talking about the tragedy that occurred in Delos Manor..." Kudo Shinichi realized this.

Xiaolan said with regret: "Bangbang finally developed feelings for me, but I didn't expect to lose them so soon."

[Qiansi Group Sings: Puppets never have control over their own fate.]

[Unable to control one's own destiny, one can only drift with the current and drown in this long river.]

This is a true portrayal of this group of people.
