MTL - Conan’s World Stand-in-v3 Chapter 3 Medical miracles and metaphysical miracles
"What, it's you."
Mamiya Man wiped the cold sweat that did not exist on his forehead, and tried his best to put on a kind face.
"Madam, this is the one I invited... a guest, I'm taking him to visit our castle."
"Oh?"
The person who made the cold and strange sound just now slowly walked out of the shadows. She was curled up in a wheelchair. Even though the weather was not too cold at this time, she was still wearing thick dark-colored clothes. The face is full of wrinkles and age spots, and a pair of slitted eyes are hidden behind round-frame glasses, but they vaguely reveal a shrewd and terrible light.
This is an old lady in a wheelchair. She looks like she is not eighty or seventy. She looks like she is going to die in the next second.
After listening to Ma Gongman's introduction, the old lady narrowed her eyes and observed Guan Dounan from behind some reflective glasses, but now Guan Dounan is wearing a mask used to pretend to be mysterious, and changed her appearance and posture with Xiao Hei's illusion. , she naturally couldn't see any clues.
"Looks like you're not an ordinary guest."
Guan Dounan didn't move when the old lady looked at him, let alone say hello. In the end, it was the old lady who spoke first and asked quietly.
"Ahaha, yes, this is the fortune teller I invited..."
"Fortuneteller?" The old lady's eyes suddenly shot a gleam of light, "That's really good, please help us solve the puzzles in this castle..."
"The puzzle of the castle is very simple." Guan Dounan only spoke slowly at this time. He put his hands in his pockets, his face covered by the mask could not show any expression, and his voice was calm as water, so he could not hear any emotion.
"However, another puzzle that happened in this castle, Li Daitao's stubbornness, the skin was melted in the fire, was a little more troublesome."
"...Well, interesting, um, hum..." Hearing Guan Dounan's words, the old lady clenched her hands like dry chicken feet, as if she was told some inner secret, but she still didn't She made some obvious movements, just humming and chirping, like a "normal" old lady who was a little old-fashioned, shaking her wheelchair to leave.
"Sorry, that's my wife's mother. Since a fire broke out a few years ago, my wife and her friends died in the fire, her spirit has been bad, and she's a little crazy." Mamiya said apologetically. , but Guan Dounan waved his hand, as if he didn't care about this at all.
"Please stay." He stepped forward directly, grabbed the old lady's wheelchair, and left her on the spot.
Generally speaking, this kind of behavior is very rude and even rude, but before Ma Gongman could say anything, Guan Dounan continued to speak.
"The conditions are enough, it's time to reveal the mystery." He glanced at the clock on the wall, "Please call everyone in the castle now into the hall, remember, it's everyone, including the servants. "
Beidi Pavilion
"Uh...Okay, okay..." Ma Gongman glanced at the old lady who remained silent, and seeing that she didn't respond, he nodded hesitantly and went to call the others.
"Push it yourself."
After Ma Gongman left, Guan Dounan let go of the wheelchair in his hand, ignoring the old lady sitting on it. She walked towards the hall on her own, as if she was not worried that the old lady would not be able to keep up or run away.
And that's exactly what happened. The old lady in the wheelchair had a gloomy expression on her face. She put her hands on the wheel of the wheelchair and tried to leave in the opposite direction several times, but in the end she silently followed behind him.
She has been waiting for more than ten years, and it is rare to encounter a possible opportunity, and she does not want to wait for another ten years.
…
"Okay, since you called us to this place, what's the matter?"
The gardeners who were just taking care of the flowers and plants in the garden were suddenly found and gathered in the hall of the old castle, and they learned that it was this strange, even suspicious guy who called them here. His attitude immediately became uncooperative, and he asked Guan Dounan.
"Okay, let's get started."
Guan Dounan didn't bother to talk nonsense either. He directly pointed his finger at the front of the hall and hung a huge oil painting. "As people living in this ancient castle, you must have heard the story of the so-called 'treasure'."
"Then, regardless of whether this treasure exists or not, the Mamiya clan's eldest man who left this will probably never thought of it at the beginning, because his jokes would lead to such tragic consequences, even his only daughter. And died because of it.”
"Joke?"
"Death?"
Two somewhat surprised voices came from the side. The people who spoke were the middle-aged palace man and the young palace noble.
Although they exclaimed at the same time, the content they exclaimed was slightly different.
Mamiya's focus is on "jokes", which actually determines whether there is treasure in the castle, and whether he can get it.
Mamiya Noble's focus is on "killing his life". After all, that is his biological mother, so it is reasonable to pay attention to this point. Just comparing the two, Mamiya Manpao seems to be a little too fancy about treasure, and his expression at this time can't help but be a little embarrassing.
"But, Mrs., didn't he die unfortunately because of a fire?" The gardener's mind was not so bright, and he only asked the simplest question at this time.
"Can't even think of this? Of course it wasn't a fire, it was arson." Guan Dou Nandan said, but the light and fluttering words sounded like a thunderbolt in the ears of everyone present. The Mamiya family heard this. Afterwards, they were all thoughtful, and their minds were different.
"I observed the feng shui here. There is blood in the fire, and there is a solidified grievance. The total amount has even reached the level of more than ten people. I think that the wife here, that is, the wife of Mamiya full, Mamiya Noble's mother, along with her friends and servants, were deliberately set on fire and killed."
Guan Dounan sighed and continued to pretend to be a ghost. "Among the various methods of killing, except for a few methods that are too cruel, the grievances generated by being burned to death are the most grievous. Although nothing can be seen in a short period of time, it will show various characteristics over time."
"For example, the skin on the face is stiff, itchy, and festering, and some dark red markings appear on the body. In the eyes of metaphysicians like me, black and red air will emerge from the top of their heads." Guan Dounan continued. Nonsense, he stretched out his hand and pointed at the old woman who was sitting in a wheelchair, her whole face as stiff as a dead person.
"Just like her."
The old woman trembled slightly when Guan Dounan pointed her finger at it. She subconsciously wanted to raise her hand to touch her face, but she stopped abruptly.
"Hmph, I don't understand what you're talking about. What's the matter with calling me here? If there's nothing serious, I'll just come back..."
"Really~www.novelbuddy.com~really has stripes!"
Before the old woman could finish her words, Mamiya Man, who was standing opposite her, cried out in horror. The other people's faces also had expressions of fear, which made her wonder if there was something more on their faces.
"See for yourself."
Guan Dounan took out a piece of paper from his pocket, and when he shook it casually, the piece of paper became as luminous as a mirror. Before the old woman could be surprised by the magic-like magic of this hand, she was startled by herself in the paper mirror.
It was not the old woman's face full of wrinkles and age spots, but the face of a middle-aged woman, but this face was full of bright red stripes, and the stripes were shaped like flames, burning her.
This is her real face before plastic surgery.
What terrified her even more was that in the paper mirror, behind her stood more than a dozen "people" who were all charred and burning with red sparks, slowly approaching her.
"You! Are you a human or a ghost? Are you a human or a ghost?!"
The old woman was so frightened by this hand that she jumped up from the wheelchair, but collapsed to the ground because her legs were so frightened. Even healthier than many of the people present.
It makes people have to evaluate a "medical miracle".
"Of course I'm a human being, but you..." Guan Dounan snorted coldly, "Fangzi Qicun, after you set fire to the fire, you have been disguised as this old man, and even to create normal signs of aging, you even went abroad to take your own Facelifted like this."
"You, you mean, she is, she is fake..."
This change was too sudden, and everyone present did not react. Only Mamiya Noble nodded secretly as if his guess had been verified.
