Chapter 14 The Knight of the Art Museum (2)
"It's still the same as usual, there aren't many tourists! They're just kiddies who can only accept children's tickets."
"True, true boss..."
"In ten days, this place will be closed," Boss Manaka said to Director Ochiai, "Before the museum closes, these rusty scraps of metal will trouble you..."
Mao Lilan, who was about to tell Director Ochiai to change exhibition halls, was stunned for a moment, a little surprised.
So after Boss Zhenzhong walked away, she stepped forward and asked if the art museum was really going to close. Only then did everyone learn that Boss Manaka had bought the art gallery and planned to convert it into a hotel.
Conan followed Xiaolan and Uncle to listen to the curator's words, while the others gathered together and started whispering.
"The curator is so cruel." Ayumi said from the side.
"That's right! It's scary! Why are you shouting so loudly?" Yuantai said unhappily.
"It's obviously your fault Yuanta!" Mitsuhiko said, "Paintings are easily damaged, you——"
"What did you say!" Yuantai looked very fierce, but he lowered his voice and secretly glanced at the curator not far away, which made him look a little funny.
"Okay, we are here to catch ghosts." Seeing that the two were about to quarrel, Fengyuan persuaded them, "If we don't unite, we will be defeated by the ghosts, right?"
Mao Lilan said goodbye to the curator, feeling a little disappointed that the museum would close soon. Conan looked thoughtfully at the armor that had been knocked down twice by the staff member who had just called Kubota.
The group set out on the road to visit again.
After what happened just now, several primary school students seemed to be more at ease. However, after passing a few exhibition halls, they became restless again as they were obsessed with catching ghosts.
However, they only heard that there was armor that could move on its own, and they didn't know the specific location. They could only give up the idea of running away secretly and follow the Maori family to visit.
After a while, when the children felt a little tired, the group came to a corner.
"Huh...? No entry?"
The group of people turned a corner and saw a sign in front of them that said "No entry for non-staff members."
"It's strange... there should be an exhibition hall in front of here..." Xiaolan said doubtfully, holding the tour brochure.
"It's the Hell Exhibition Hall, Sister Xiaolan." Fengyuan said, holding a tour guide in his hand.
"Yes! It says on it..."
"Hell, hell!?" The three primary school students screamed.
"It's just a name, it's not a real hell..." Xiaolan, who thought the primary school students were scared, comforted, "And my sister is here -"
"Hell!" Mitsuhiko repeated.
"...Huh?" Xiaolan then noticed that the primary school students didn't look scared, but...excited?
"When it comes to hell, it's easy to think of ghosts!" Mitsuhiko said.
"Hey, hey -" Conan felt something was wrong.
"Yes!" Ayumi, Mitsuhiko and Genta gathered together, their eyes sparkling, "That ghost hiding in the armor! It must be in front of you!"
"Hey, you kiddos, are you trying to sneak in again?" Uncle Maori said angrily. Conan was sent home by the Memu Police Department during the last haunted house incident, so he also knows what these kiddos have done. , "It says no entry here, please don't cause trouble to me, do you hear it!?"
"But, but," Ayumi struggled, "it would be bad if any staff encounter ghosts inside!"
"What ghosts, what a mess, it's all a trick to deceive brats like you, let's go!"
Uncle Maori turned his head as he spoke.
Xiaolan actually wanted to see the exhibition hall inside, but since it was temporarily closed, there was no other way.
"I told you not to call these troublesome brats." Conan complained to Fengyuan in a low voice, and then asked Ayumi and others to leave, "Okay, Ayumi, Genta, Mitsuhiko, let's go, maybe Later--"
"Hey! You guys! Come back here!" Conan shouted.
Mao Lilan and Uncle Mao Li quickly turned around again.
The three little guys who were whispering together just now quietly walked around the sign that said "No Entry".
"Discovered!"
"Run!"
Ayumi, Genta and Mitsuhiko ran away.
…
Because there was another corner ahead, the three of them disappeared from the sight of Conan and others in an instant. There was no other way. After struggling for a while, the angry Uncle Maoli and Xiaolan decided to go in and catch the naughty guys.
After bypassing the sign and passing through a long corridor, the light inside suddenly dimmed.
"I told you not to shout-" Conan, who was lagging behind, spoke again.
"You just said it again." Fengyuan interrupted the spell casting, and then said, "I just didn't expect... that they can be so naughty when there are adults around."
Saved him a lot of trouble.
"Yeah...what a troublesome bunch of brats." Conan nodded in agreement. He didn't expect this, so he gave these little devils the chance to sneak in.
Fortunately, the hell exhibition hall was not big, so when they walked in, they found Ayumi and others pointing in front of several pairs of armors.
"It's so dark in here...so scary..." Ayumi timidly shrank behind Mitsuhiko and Genta.
"What are you afraid of, you coward!" Yuantai said dissatisfied.
"There are several pairs of armor here...which one can move?" Mitsuhiko was lost in thought.
"Ah, I found it!" Xiaolan walked into the exhibition hall and breathed a sigh of relief, "Really, come back with me now, it would be bad if someone finds out -"
"ah!"
The trio who were discovered wanted to escape again, but the exhibition hall was not big and there was not much room to escape. Ayumi turned around and looked back, but she just took two steps back to the side, and then tripped with her left foot and her right foot——
"Danger!" Conan shouted. There are many props on the ground nearby.
His eyes immediately focused on Ayumi. She obviously couldn't maintain her balance and was about to fall to the ground.
However, the next moment, something surprising happened to everyone.
A pair of armor near Ayumi suddenly moved.
The armor threw aside the knight's sword he was holding, took a step to the side, used his left arm to hold Ayumi, who was about to fall, and held him in his arms.
…
"The armor that can, can move..." Xiaolan stammered. She is actually most afraid of things like ghosts and monsters.
Conan's eyes also became sharp.
Kaedehara gave the armor a meaningful look.
"Quickly stand behind me, Xiaolan!" Uncle Maoli's eyes narrowed, and he stepped forward to protect Xiaolan, "And you little brats!"
A sigh came from the armor.
Strange...why does it feel familiar? Conan thought doubtfully.
Just when Genta and Mitsuhiko looked at Ayumi who was still held by the armor in confusion, and were about to launch a headbutt attack on the armor, the armor man sighed again, helped Ayumi who had been in a daze, and straightened up.
Then he took off his helmet.
