Screams echoed throughout the castle.

What's even more peculiar is that the sound of a chainsaw running can be heard continuously.

The chainsaw, accompanied by a roar that seemed inhuman, kept blazing from left to right.

It looked like a chainsaw-wielding monster was constantly crashing into the castle passageway.

Finally, after another mournful cry subsided, the castle gradually fell silent.

The master and the servants around him couldn't help but swallow hard.

It's a good thing they've stayed here for so long.

When I'm sleeping, do these ghostly things just stare at me with their pale, lifeless eyes?

And there seem to be too many ghosts, don't you think?

After a while, the castle gates opened.

A dark figure slowly emerged from it.

"Sir, you've had a long journey..."

The master was about to step forward when the dark figure approached the light, but he immediately stopped in his tracks.

The person who came was not Qi Ming, but a tall, deformed child.

He was slowly approaching this side, holding a chainsaw in one hand and grabbing the unconscious old woman with the other.

"Ghost, there is a ghost!"

"The killer is the chainsaw killer!"

The old man shouted and quickly retreated.

Upon seeing this, the children hurriedly hid behind Professor Agasa.

"What are these people doing?"

Qi Ming looked at the expressions on everyone's faces, which seemed to have lost all their reason, with a puzzled look, and glanced at his feet.

Oh, the Assassin's Suit hasn't been removed from the equipment list yet.

What are you all babbling about here for?

After removing his assassin suit, Qi Ming spoke to the crowd as if nothing had happened.

Seeing the deformed child transform into a handsome young man, everyone quickly rubbed their eyes.

What about deformed children?

Where did that huge chainsaw go?

Everyone exchanged glances, and a thought spontaneously arose in their minds.

They are possessed by evil spirits.

"Sir, could you please help us remove the dirt off our bodies as well?"

"……what?"

……

Later, Qi Ming, looking bewildered, was persuaded by the master to come.

He took out a bottle filled with clear water and sprinkled some on everyone.

I wonder what those guys were thinking when they saw how I looked in my assassin outfit.

In short, the master and the servants all breathed a sigh of relief after feeling the cool holy water being poured on them.

"Mr. Qi Ming, how is the castle now?"

"It's safe now, there's not a single ghost in there."

Qi Ming answered casually, glancing at the old woman he was carrying.

This guy is, after all, a murderer who killed so many people.

But just when the old woman was cornered and he pretended to raise the chainsaw to chop her down, she suddenly fainted.

Finally, feeling bored, Qi Ming took the opportunity to play with the ghost.

Using the skills of his assassin suit, he raced around the castle with a chainsaw, taking photos and exorcising spirits.

"Where did you catch this murderer?"

"She's hiding in the tunnels under the castle."

The old man looked at the old woman, hesitated, and asked:

"So what should we do with her now?"

"Didn't I already tell you? Throw her into that stone tower."

Qi Ming put the old woman on the ground, then took out a bottle of blue medicine.

He put on disposable gloves and, suppressing his nausea, smeared the substance on the old woman's upper eyelids.

"Mr. Qi Ming, what is this?"

Qi Ming chuckled.

"Use cow tears to see ghosts, and plastic wrap to catch them."

Of course, the cow tears he used were definitely produced by the system.

Real cow tears do not have such effects.

After Qi Ming threw the old woman into the stone tower and sealed her off, everyone returned to the castle.

I don't know if it's because Qi Ming exorcised the ghost, but the air here smells much fresher.

"By the way, little girl, where exactly is the treasure you were talking about outside?"

"It's right in front of you."

Remembering what Ai Haibara had said before, the master asked Ai Haibara a question out of curiosity.

"Finished answering the questions? Not bad, as expected of someone with the same intelligence as me."

Hearing Qi Ming's seemingly sincere words, Ai Haibara rolled her eyes at him and pointed to the portrait facing the hall.

That's a portrait of the castle's lord.

At Ai Haibara's instruction, the servants moved the portrait aside, and everyone saw the hidden staircase behind it.

"To be honest, do a thorough cleaning when you have some free time."

Qi Ming complained to the old man in an annoyed tone.

The old man could only give an awkward smile, feeling extremely aggrieved inside.

If anyone had been willing to take down and wash these portraits in the past few years, they wouldn't have spent four years solving a mystery without finding the treasure.

Or perhaps the riddle is a facade, and the real purpose is for the master to test everyone's filial piety?

……

Then, the group climbed the stairs in an orderly fashion, and after passing through a passage, they arrived at a door.

Everyone believed the treasure was behind that door.

But when the master excitedly stepped forward and opened the door, he was instantly dumbfounded.

Behind the door was not the mountain of gold and silver they had imagined.

Instead, it's about green mountains and clear waters.

The so-called treasure is merely the scenery visible through this small window.

And on the wall next to the door, there was an inscription that read:

I would like to dedicate this castle and this scenery to the first person who comes here.

Everyone fell silent at that moment.

"That old man really deserves to die."

Qi Ming's voice rang out in the small space.

But no one refuted this at that moment.

……

After perfectly resolving the incident, everyone stayed there and took a nap.

They didn't leave immediately; instead, they stayed there for several days, enjoying the scenery before departing.

As for the master and the servants...

There were still many things to be moved from the castle, and Qi Ming kindly offered them lodging in his castle. They could contact him once they were done packing.

Of course, you have to pay for it.

Ultimately, no one called the police about the old woman.

The day after resting, Qi Ming broke open the stone tower again and found the old woman's body inside.

The corpse looked terrified; it's unknown what it discovered before it died.

Later, Qi Ming took the body away and disposed of it in the deep mountains and forests.

What's the point of calling the police?

Is it said that one prisoner was scared to death by another prisoner seeing a ghost?

After leaving the city, farmhouse, and fortress, Qi Ming said goodbye to everyone. He originally wanted to teleport home and then teleport Ai Haibara over as well.

However, the teleportation failed.

[No teleportation point detected at the current location]

This is the feedback given by the system.

"What the hell? I've teleported home so many times and you're telling me there's no teleportation point there?"

What doesn't exist simply doesn't exist.

"6."

Qi Ming was no longer surprised by the bugs in this garbage system.

I had no choice but to teleport to the nearest location and walk a few steps to get home.

……

2-24, Yoneka-cho.

"Our house should be here, right?"

Qi Ming's eyelids twitched involuntarily as he looked at the scene before him.

Ai Haibara also stared wide-eyed in disbelief.

"Yes, we shouldn't have gone the wrong way."

The Western-style mansion was neat and beautiful just a few days ago.

Today, it has become a dilapidated, charred, and ruined house.

"What? I went out to play for a few days and suddenly my house is gone?"
