"Ran, Sonoko, take these. Keep them with you even when you sleep. If you encounter danger, just press the button on them."
Yuusheng Nan handed the two small protective orbs to them with a serious tone, indicating that they must guard them carefully.
Sonoko, full of curiosity, picked up the orb, looking it over, as if exploring an unknown mystery.
Ran, on the other hand, obediently tucked the orb close to her body before looking up at Yuusheng Nan with equally curious eyes.
Yuusheng Nan gently shook his head and whispered, "This isn't the place to talk about these things. Let's discuss it when we get back. Then, I'll also tell you about my other identity."
"Another identity!" Sonoko and Ran exclaimed in unison, their eyes wide, as they began to size Yuusheng Nan up and down.
Yuusheng Nan smiled slightly and nodded, confirming their guess.
He teased mysteriously, "That's right, another identity, but I can't reveal too much now. However, if you behave, I'll tell you everything."
Upon hearing this, Sonoko immediately clutched the orb tightly to her chest, as if guarding her most precious treasure, then nodded frantically, muttering, "I promise to behave! Nan, tell me quickly!" Sonoko's eyes sparkled with anticipation and excitement, eager to know the secret.
"Then let's go out and see what's happening outside." Yuusheng Nan nodded with satisfaction after seeing them both carefully put away the orbs... Meanwhile, Takahashi Ryoichi Ran to the suspension bridge with a look of terror, and Conan and the other two who followed him were also shocked as they looked at the bridge.
"What happened?" Suzuki Ayako rushed over at this moment. Seeing everyone standing still, she quickly went to check the situation.
"It must, it must be that he fell down himself, right?" Ota Masaru asked softly, his voice lacking conviction.
"No, this suspension bridge was cut by someone!"
"Huh?"
Everyone turned their heads to look at Yuusheng Nan, who was walking over with the two girls.
"Didn't any of you notice the damage on this suspension bridge? These are all fresh marks, you know." Yuusheng Nan pointed to the pillars of the suspension bridge.
Conan was the first to rush over to check: "Yes, Brother Yuusheng is right, it was indeed damaged by someone."
"How could someone do such a thing?" Suzuki Ayako muttered in frustration.
"It must be that Bandage Man! He did it!" Takahashi Ryoichi continued to shout in terror.
"What Bandage Man? That's utter nonsense!" Ikeda Chikako, who had followed them, was getting impatient. She yelled, "That so-called Bandage Man, causing all this trouble, is just trying to scare us, that's all."
After speaking, Ikeda Chikako turned to go back to the villa, completely unaware that Takahashi Ryoichi, who had just looked terrified, was now looking at her with murderous intent.
Yuusheng Nan glanced at Takahashi Ryoichi, then turned to Sonoko and Ran and said, "Since we can't leave today, let's go back for dinner first."
Suzuki Ayako looked at the current situation and could only nod... "I'm so sorry, Ran, to have you help me." Suzuki Ayako said to Ran, who was helping with dinner, with an apologetic look.
"Oh, it's fine. I cook every day at home anyway." Ran's lips curved into a gentle smile.
"This class reunion has really turned out to be a letdown..."
Suzuki Ayako sighed, her mood a bit low as she recalled what had happened earlier.
"Alright, don't think so much about it. Be happy!" Ran gently patted Suzuki Ayako's shoulder to comfort her.
"Mhm, thank you, Ran." Suzuki Ayako nodded gratefully.
A moment later, all the dishes were ready. Ran placed the last dish on the table, then looked around, turning to Sonoko in confusion, "Sonoko, where's Nan?"
"I don't know either. She just said she was going upstairs to the restroom." Sonoko replied to Ran's question while turning her head and shouting loudly, "Nan, Nan, dinner's ready, Nan!"
"Coming."
"Ding, gained 10 Spirit Power."
Along with a response, Yuusheng Nan emerged from the staircase corner, casually crushing a ball of spiritual energy in his hand.
Yuusheng Nan had just used the Snake Talisman's invisibility effect to enjoy a spectacular revenge drama, and he also gained 10 Spirit Power as a reward.
"Oh, right, where's Chikako?" Kakutani Hiroki suddenly asked Suzuki Ayako after sitting down in his seat.
"Chikako is a bit tired and went back to her room to rest. Takahashi, are you done? Come down for dinner now."
Yuusheng Nan looked at Takahashi Ryoichi on the second floor, who appeared harmless, with interest. Who would have thought that Chikako's head was currently in his stomach?
Although Chikako didn't come to dinner, Takahashi Ryoichi brought her head to dinner, so it should count as eating together, right?
"Come on, smile." While waiting for Takahashi Ryoichi to come downstairs, Sonoko pulled Yuusheng Nan and Ran, asking Kakutani Hiroki to take a photo of the three of them.
"Hey, who's there?"
"What happened?" Hearing Takahashi Ryoichi's sudden shout, everyone looked up.
"It looks like there's someone by the window downstairs!" Takahashi Ryoichi yelled, his face full of terror.
The few people downstairs looked curiously towards the window. Yuusheng Nan reached out and pressed down on Ran and Sonoko's curious little heads as they turned back, saying softly, "Wait a bit before looking, otherwise you might end up with psychological trauma."
"Chikako!"
Everyone watched in shock as the Bandage Man swept past the window with Ikeda Chikako in his arms. Startled, they immediately gave chase.
Conan, who was at the front, noticed the actions of Yuusheng Nan and the two girls, wondering, "How does Yuusheng Nan seem to know what's going to happen beforehand?" After silently noting this, he unhesitatingly jumped out the window first, close on their heels.
"Hey, Conan, don't run off."
Ran, noticing Conan had run out, also quickly stood up, preparing to follow him.
"Ran, you and Sonoko stay here. I'll go check. Remember to keep your orbs with you."
Pressing down on the standing Ran and giving instructions to the two, Yuusheng Nan unhurriedly walked out... "There's a foot here!"
Yuusheng Nan's voice was particularly abrupt in the darkness.
Although he was the last to arrive at the scene, he was the first to discover a part of the person.
Conan and the others immediately rushed over when they heard this.
After careful identification, they confirmed that the foot belonged to Ikeda Chikako.
Just as they stood up to continue searching, Yuusheng Nan shook his flashlight, signaling everyone to look in his direction.
Everyone followed the light and found that Yuusheng Nan had actually found other parts of Ikeda Chikako.
In the time that followed, Yuusheng Nan alone found most of Ikeda Chikako's body.
After a brief discussion, Kakutani Hiroki took off his jacket and gently covered Ikeda Chikako's body.
Then, they silently returned to the villa.
"How does this Yuusheng Nan seem to know everything that's happening? He even knows exactly where the body parts are. It's too strange, there must be something going on." Conan walked at the very end of the group, gazing at Yuusheng Nan's back, pondering to himself.
If Yuusheng Nan knew Conan's thoughts at that moment, he might respond, "Seriously, I witnessed the entire murder and disposal process firsthand, observing every detail up close, so of course I know it very well."
