Ran Maori and Yuanko Suzuki were stunned, and at the same time, they turned their heads along Shiraishi's pointing. A few meters away, a woman wearing sunglasses had just walked off the other bus and was walking towards them with clear goals.

The man's clothes were simple and his hair was trimmed very short, which looked a bit like a boy at first glance. However, the square silk chain on his wrist and the necklace between his neck were just brightened just right, so that people would not be able to tell the difference in gender.

Tomokako Ikeda dragged her suitcase and nodded at Suzuki Yuanko: "Long time no see."

"Long time no see!" Suzuki Yuanko jumped over and hugged Tomokako Ikeda's arm:

"I read your new book! It's good to watch, but can it be as sweet as before? Also, I promised to write a magnificent and romantic love epic with me as the protagonist!"

"The romantic epic is probably not enough, and only you young people have the motivation to yearn for love." Tomokako Ikeda raised her hand and rubbed her head, "I am past that age."

"You are obviously a young man." Suzuki Yuanko didn't give up, "Also, I agreed to tailor my Prince Charming QAQ in the novel..."

With the eyes of the other three men sweating on their foreheads, she and Tomokako Ikeda walked all the way.

After walking seven or eight meters, Suzuki Yuanko remembered something and turned around and waved to the three of them: "Xiaolan, Lu Ji, hurry up!"

"..." The flower scheming saw that one loves one, and one loves one forgot one, and his reputation was well-deserved.

Sure enough, is only the customized virtual prince charming true love?

...

Although at least two local tyrants were involved in the civilian team, neither Suzuki Yuanko nor Tomokako Ikeda chose to take a taxi, but continued to transfer to trams and buses.

Unlike Suzuki Sonoko who almost threw the bus card into the coin box, Tomokako Ikeda looks quite skilled and may have been running around a lot in the past.

Shiraishi always felt that the name Tomokako Ikeda sounded very familiar, and then thought about what Suzuki Yuanko said just now. After sitting down, he took out the "Cyan Kingdom" in his bag and took a look at the cover again.

The pen name says "Tomokako Ikeda". This person actually wrote a book with his real name.

Shiraishi opened the title page again to view the author's introduction.

"The Blue Kingdom" is the debut work of Tomokako Ikeda. This book is very popular and caused a small sensation as soon as it was published two years ago.

A year later, the movie based on it became popular and Tomokako Ikeda became famous in one book.

In the past two years, she has written many works one after another, but most of them end with tragedy. She did not attract fans from the earliest "Cyan Kingdom", but her evaluation in the literary world has gradually increased.

The words on the book are too small, and it is easy to get motion sickness if you continue reading them.

Shiraishi was about to put away the book, but Conan next to him suddenly asked him: "Can I take a look?"

Shiraishi turned his head and saw the child recovering from his autism state a little, and began to gradually become curious about everything.

He handed over the book and began to close his eyes and rest.

After taking two buses, the bus finally swayed to the foot of the mountain.

After getting off the bus, the few people walked up the mountain road. The clouds that walked to the sky turned into sunset, but they still didn't see the shadow of the villa.

Although Tomokako Ikeda was regarded as a "new home" by Suzuki Yuanko, she was in good physical strength and never saw that she was tired.

Not to mention Ran Maori.

Only Conan and Suzuki Yuanko were dragging their legs wildly - Suzuki Yuanko was not exercising enough, while Conan was mainly due to motion sickness, with weak feet and sore stomach, and his physical strength had not recovered.

The book was indeed poisonous, but fortunately I finished reading it last night... Shiraishi looked at Conan's pale face and was secretly grateful.

...

"Ah!! I can't do it anymore!"

When I turned along the mountain road and found that there was still no villa she had expected in front of me, only layers of woods, Suzuki Yuanko looked desperate.

She cried with a sad face, lowered her head and shook her ankles. The delicate and beautiful little leather shoes were already covered with a lot of dust.

Suzuki Yuanko was crying and she was crying: "I shouldn't have picked these pairs of shoes with heels for the sake of the golden ratio... I can't walk anymore, I can't walk any more. The gentle, considerate and handsome prince charming who can carry me up the mountain with a smile hasn't appeared yet!"

Shiraishi was stunned, turned his head slightly, and indeed saw Suzuki Yuanko looking at him with tears in her eyes.

This is simply a hint, it is obvious.

Shiraishi now carried a bag on his back, a bag in front of him, two more hanging on his arms, and a heavy suitcase was dragged in his hand.

Although Suzuki Yuanko praised him so much that he was very moved, after silently sensing the weight of the bunch, Shiraishi refused:

"Your luggage is on my back. If you say that, you may need to carry me for one or two thousand meters..."

Suzuki Yuanko thought about it, and sighed in disappointment.

"The road here is very uneven. If you walk with someone on your back, both of you will easily fall and hurt." Tomokako Ikeda looked up at the surroundings, "I am familiar with the surroundings, so take a shortcut. You can get there in about five minutes."

The few people were walking on a compacted mountain road, but now they were going to take a shortcut, so they changed to drilling into the woods.

Although the suitcase has become difficult to drag and there are some bugs around, I have indeed started to walk straight lines, which is definitely much closer than the winding road.

Suzuki Yuanko was still slow at first, but when she walked for a minute or two, a white and green softworm fell on her shoulder. With a scream that penetrated the forest, she became the fastest one, hoping to carry a few people and fly out of the woods in one second.

...Although this is not Ikeda Tomokako's original intention, the speed of moving forward has indeed accelerated a lot.

After passing through the woods and climbing up a small slope, the eyes finally opened a little wider - they came to a mountain stream.

The mountain stream that is horizontally located in front of you is more than ten meters wide, dozens of meters deep, and the cliff walls on both sides are straight up and down, extremely deep and steep. At the bottom of the mountain stream, a river rushes by, and the sound of water flowing is magnified on the rocks on both sides.

A rather simple wooden suspension bridge spans over the mountain stream, connecting the two banks. Opposite the suspension bridge, you can see a three or four-story high villa with exquisite design.

This dangerous situation of combining artificial and nature made several young people exclaimed, and Shiraishi was no exception.

But he was amazed at the scene - it was obvious that the suspension bridge was broken, everyone was trapped in the villa, and the murderer did whatever he wanted, but they could not call the police.

Next time I go out, I must bring more compressed biscuits and other things... Shiraishi silently added one to the list of essential travel in his heart.

At the same time, he saw a man wearing a black robe, a black hood on the suspension bridge near the villa, and walking towards the villa with his back facing them.

Suzuki Yuanko thought it was the member of the club who came to pick them up, so she happily raised her hand and said hello.

Her shouts came from a distance between the mountain wind and the sound of water. The man in black robe was stunned and suddenly turned around, revealing a dense face wrapped in bandages.

The bandage man glanced at the five people who were frozen behind him, and suddenly ran ashore quickly, but did not enter the villa, but crawled into the woods next to him.

"What, what's going on!" Suzuki Yuanko felt goosebumps after realizing it, "This is not Halloween, why are you dressed like this? Is it perverted?"

The two girls hugged each other tremblingly.

Shiraishi crossed them and looked at the suspension bridge. The dress of the man in the black robe gave him a strong sense of déjà.

After thinking about it, he remembered it.

——In the novel "Cyan Kingdom", which has some fantasy style, there is a perverted murderer who is keen on dismembering the corpse and implementing himself as a distorted "justice".

The clothes described in the article are like this: a torn black robe, a wide hood that hangs to the eyebrow bone, a bandage wrapped around the body, and an axe soaked with blood.

Now everything except the axe fits well.

"The 'surprise' prepared by Ayako is really unique as always." Tomokako Ikeda frowned, a little helpless, "But no matter how you look at it, you can only be 'shock'..."

"Surprise?" Ran Maori and Yuanko Suzuki were not sure.

As soon as Conan finished reading the novel, he explained to his two former classmates: "It is a fictional character in Sister Chikako's "The Cyan Kingdom". Have you never read it before?"

"I've seen it." Suzuki Sonoko frowned and tried hard to recall, "But I saw it two years ago, and I've forgotten the details."
