Oritis in the world of Detective Conan

Chapter 414 Melody Villa (Part 1)

"But, Dr. Emily, the injury to my left eye is irreversible. Even if you heal it now, it will get worse later." The prophet sighed. "I can't stop my predictions, just like Miss Neil has already..."

"That's enough! Have all three of you been influenced by Melody?" the doctor said, looking exasperated. "One of you has vision loss, one has smell loss, and one has sensory loss. Even if you want to live, there has to be a limit. Respect me, the only doctor who can heal the body!"

Hattori Heiji popped his head out weakly: "Well, let me ask, these three conditions all sound like some kind of illness, are they incurable?"

"It's impossible to cure it all! It's impossible to cure it all!" The doctor said to Hattori Heiji. "Boy, do you know what we like to do here?"

Hattori Heiji was frightened by the doctor's aura: "No, I don't know."

"Everyone in the action team loves risking their lives. Do you know how I feel when I see my teammates in pieces in the operating room? The patrol team is even more serious, with all the mental illnesses and distorted values ​​left out. They're the ones who cause most of the trouble! Ever since that troublemaker Florian arrived in the logistics team, there's been a fire every three days and an explosion every five days. Miss Demi is almost pissed off."

"Wait, can a person who is cut into pieces still survive?" Hattori Heiji was puzzled and shocked.

"Ordinary people may not be able to do it, but for the people in Oritis Manor, being chopped into pieces is probably their normal state..." Amuro Toru recalled the mercenaries who fought to the death.

[Mercenary: That's bullshit! I just caught Joke's drill with my face. Is that really necessary?]

[Fire Investigator: Let's burn Melody Hill to ashes!]

[Bartender: I've had enough, Aesop, lock him in your coffin!]

[Embarkantist: ...]

Conan was thinking about who the three people the doctor mentioned at the beginning were, three people who were influenced by Melody and were related to vision, smell, and perception... One of them was undoubtedly the prophet, and his vision must have been irreversibly damaged.

Conan guessed that the other two were the perfumer and the priest. For the perfumer, creating the perfect forget-me-not fragrance was her lifelong pursuit, but if the price of completing all this was to gradually lose her sense of smell, she would never be able to experience the "smell of her sister" again.

Another likely candidate is the priest, who also possesses some astrological abilities and believes in a deity...but the deity the priest worships doesn't seem to be one of the three gods of the manor. Conan is confused as to what's going on.

Hattori Heiji approached Conan with sweat dripping down his face. "Kudo, are the people in this underground organization as crazy as this lady said? That's too exaggerated. I've been a detective for so long, and I've never encountered criminals with mental states as outrageous as theirs."

"Just don't use normal thinking to understand their behavior." Conan also found this difficult. It was difficult for him to explain the reason to Hattori Heiji.

"Well, it's up to you, as long as there are no more outrageous incidents at this rally." The doctor covered his forehead helplessly.

"Dr. Emily, have there been any problems in previous gatherings?" Conan asked.

"Do you remember Black Jack? It used to be one of the activities at the gathering. The last time, it was Tarot. Kevin and William got into a fight to achieve their goal. One of them sprained his waist, and the other sprained his ankle."

"It seems like this is just a minor injury. Compared to Black Jack's brutal hunting game, it seems okay."

"It's true that the two of them were slightly injured, but the others weren't so lucky. The scene was too horrific, so I won't describe it to you. After that rally, Ganji and Miss Qi were both bedridden for a full week before they could get out of bed."

"And because we are codenamed members, we are able to survive. Ordinary members may not be able to withstand such high-intensity training."

[Cowboy: Tarot Mode, the servant only needs to observe constantly, while the king, who has no self-protection, has much more to consider.]

[Forward: It's all your fault, Kevin. You kept lassoing me and preventing me from rescuing people.]

[Antique Dealer: Honestly, after being hit by a pure OB, even the most trained person will have muscle reactions.]

[Batter: Indeed, it is very tiring.]

Just as the doctor was muttering, Lucky silently poked his head out from the corner of the corridor. He had changed into the "Ratatosk" costume and looked like a little squirrel.

"Um, what happened? Why is Emily standing at the door of Conan and the others' room with Eli, looking angry?"

"Axing, take your treasure chest back!" The doctor turned back with an unhappy look on his face. "If you keep playing with those dangerous things with Pearson, I'll sneak some stuff into my next consultation!"

"Oh! Sorry to bother you!" Lucky guy retracted his head at the speed of light.

After scaring Lucky back, the doctor turned to look at Conan and the others: "I'll give you a warning here. You are considered 'guests' and will not participate in those brutal competitions. However, you should participate normally in 'Imitator Mode'."

"Is this the reason why you gave us these powerful costumes? Because we might encounter a crisis?" Akai Shuichi frowned.

"It's to ensure everyone starts the game on the same footing. After all, it's too unfair to have two high school students and a fake kid go up against the police and the FBI."

Kaito Kidd quickly spoke up for himself: "Wait, special ability? Then what is my special ability?"

"Eli has lent you his Blodewij. You can communicate with her slowly!"

After saying that, the doctor seemed a little impatient. He grabbed the prophet's hand and dragged him away, closing the door of the room.

"This doctor seems to have a bad temper." Hattori Heiji looked at Conan, then at the other people in the room. "So we were invited to participate in that game?"

"I guess so. What bad luck! I thought they wouldn't bother me anymore." Kaito Kidd spread his hands.

"By the way, why were you captured?" Conan stared at Kaito Kid with dead eyes. "Is it because of fool's gold?"

"How did you know that Director Campbell was Fool's Gold?" Kaito Kidd said with a frustrated look on his face. "I clearly haven't mentioned this to anyone."

"He admitted it right in front of me." Conan still had that look in his eyes. "If you had told me earlier, wouldn't this have been a hassle?"

"It was Mr. Kurt and Mr. Servi who kidnapped me, along with a man with goat horns. They said my kidnapping had nothing to do with Fool's Gold," Kaito Kid slumped on the sofa. "And they seem to know very little about Director Campbell's affairs, even though they were the ones who suggested I go to the Azoth Library in the first place."

Conan was stunned. "Wait, what did you say? Those two didn't know that Fool's Gold was Mr. Campbell?"

"It should be the effect of the potion. Remember, Conan, Mnemosyne, who can make people forget their memories." Amuro Toru reminded.
