"This guy only has 30 minutes left!”Through observation, Mochizuki noticed that the lifespan countdown above Boss Shinaka's head was flashing. It was 20 years at a time, and 30 minutes at other times.
This meant that he could have lived for more than 20 years, but because of something, he would die in 30 minutes.
Xiaolan was very concerned when she heard that the art gallery was about to be demolished. She asked Director Ochiai,""Why is the art gallery being demolished?"
"Because the boss lost money in his business, so he plans to sell the art gallery to earn back his money." The buyer was the owner of Shinjuka. He had wanted to continue running the art gallery, but later decided that it was more cost-effective to demolish it and build a hotel.”
When he said this, the director was extremely furious, but he did not show it on his face.
"Hey! Wa Tian! What are you doing?" When the curator saw an employee moving the artwork without gloves, he shouted," How many times have I told you! Wear gloves when moving things!”
The employee named Kubota was very thin and skinny, looking like a skeleton. He was startled by the curator's reprimand. Yes! I'll put on my gloves immediately."
"No need. Get lost. Let Irijima move the things.”
Another staff member, who was dressed meticulously, looked very serious and won the trust of the curator.
When Mochizuki saw this island, he couldn't help but be stunned.
What was going on? Why was this man also dying?
Just like the boss, there were only 30 minutes left in his lifespan.
" That shouldn't be…" Moongazer Serpent was puzzled. In the original novel, the curator wore armor and only killed a Shinjuka boss. Then, he framed his employee, Kubota. Because Kubota stole the collection of the art museum and sold it outside, the curator hated him very much.
Initially, the director wanted to call the police, but he suddenly remembered that he could make Kubota take the blame after killing someone, so he didn't call the police.
But this didn't seem to have anything to do with him. Why was he dying?
And just like the boss, they only had 30 minutes left. It was obvious that they died at the same time. What could have caused them to die at the same time? Was it really just the director who killed them?
……
Mochizuki and the others walked around the art gallery and commented on some artworks from time to time. However, not everyone could understand art, so they only judged whether it was good or not.
"What is this drawing? He couldn't even understand the red and green colors! Zero points!" Yuan Zi commented on the paintings." Tsk tsk, is this art? The woman in the painting wasn't even wearing any clothes…but it was quite realistic. 100 points!"
The Moongazer Serpent couldn't complain in her heart. She suspected that the garden had been taken over by a burly man.
Xiaolan quickly dragged Conan away from the painting and said to the yard,""The garden! Don't just stand there. This kind of painting is not suitable for children to see. Let's go somewhere else to look!”
"What does it matter? Xiaolan, your thoughts are too dirty. This is art!”Yuan Zi laughed and retorted.
"Let's go to other places to take a look.”Mochizuki knew that Xiao Ai wasn't a child, but others didn't, so he pulled Xiao Ai to the side. Xiao Ai didn't care and let Moongazer ramble on.
The art gallery was divided into several areas. They came to Hell Hall, where supernatural events were rumored to have happened. In the end, they couldn't enter Hell Hall at all. They cordoned off the corridors and even put up a sign saying that it was a temporary construction site and that entry was prohibited.
Everyone was disappointed and could only go to other areas to take a look. Perhaps it would be opened later.
……
While Xiao Lan's garden was in front, Moongazer whispered to Xiao Ai,""Should we sneak into Hell Hall to take a look? I'm very interested in supernatural events.”
" But it's sealed off over there…" Xiao Ai replied in confusion.
Mochizuki smiled." That's why I said to enter quietly…"
Xiao Ai thought about it and nodded.""Good!"
Just like Moongazer Serpent, she was also very curious about the rumored supernatural events.
If it was in the past, she might have scoffed at supernatural events, but after seeing the Grim Reaper, her thoughts changed. There were so many so-called supernatural events in this world. Perhaps some of them were true.
Thus, without anyone noticing, Mochizuki and Xiao Ai secretly fell behind.
The two of them returned to Hell Hall and crossed the cordon after confirming that there was no one around. Mochizuki crossed the cordon, but Xiao Ai was too short and could only crawl under the cordon.
There was an entrance through the corridor, and the real Hell Hall was inside. The lighting inside was deliberately arranged to be very dim, trying to create a terrifying atmosphere. There were many statues of demons and some bloody paintings around.
"Are you scared?" The Moongazer Serpent asked about Xiao Ai's feelings.
Xiao Ai was still as calm as a child." These are all fake. What's there to be afraid of?”
"How do you know it's fake? Perhaps they would come back to life once the monster possessed them. Just like the armor that the security guard had seen, it would walk around on its own in the middle of the night.”
"Speaking of armor," Xiao Ai looked around with a puzzled expression." Why don't I see any armor?"”
"Now that you mention it, it seems like there is no armor.”
The Moongazer Serpent looked around and didn't see any armor. However, he saw a piece of paper and a pen on the booth. Upon closer inspection, the surname "Kubota" was written on the paper.
"Kubota?" Xiao Ai had an impression of this." Isn't this the employee who was scolded by the director for not wearing gloves? The person who was so skinny that he looked like a skeleton…Why was his name written on the paper? Is this considered a work of art?"
Mochizuki remembered the plot and knew that this was something the director had placed in advance. He planned to kill Boss Shinaka and blame it on Kubota.
Just as Mochizuki was about to speak, strange footsteps came from outside Hell Hall.
"Not good, someone is coming. Let's hide!”Xiao Ai anxiously reminded Moongazer Serpent.
Mochizuki didn't want to hide at first. He had only sneaked into a closed exhibition hall in the art gallery, not a military base. Even if he was discovered, he would at most apologize. However, since Xiao Ai suggested hiding, he did not object. He directly pulled Xiao Ai's hand and hid in the corner behind the booth.
"Can you step back a little?" Xiao Ai and the Moongazer Serpent were squeezed together, squatting in the corner.
"No, I'm already stuck to the wall. I can't retreat anymore.”
Due to their limited conditions, the two of them could only stick close to each other. The atmosphere suddenly became strange.
Xiao Ai felt the Moongazer Serpent's body temperature and was a little flustered. This was the first time she had been so close to a boy. Oh, wait, it didn't seem to be the first time. Mochizuki had even hugged her to avoid a car accident.
Moongazer Serpent also had a strange feeling. Then, he cursed himself in his heart.
As the surroundings were very quiet, they felt as if the only sound in the world was each other's breathing and heartbeat.
" His heartbeat is actually accelerating…" Xiao Ai noticed this keenly.
His heart was beating so fast after coming into contact with a little girl? There were only two possibilities, either he was a lolicon, or he already knew my true identity…
If Moongazer Serpent knew what Xiao Ai was thinking, it would definitely shout," I'm definitely not a lolicon! I can swear on Conan's life! My heart is beating fast because I know that you are eighteen years old like me, really!
