Chapter 104: Tell a Story to Refresh Yourself
Nearby Park.
Wataru Takagi, after Disguising as a woman and coming out, changed Clothes again.
The three Child couldn't Unable to Endure it anymore and went to Chi Feichei's Car to sleep.
"Aren't you going to sleep?" Chi Feichei asked the remaining people.
Haibara Ai hadn't even answered before she yawned. When there was something to do, she didn't feel sleepy, but now that they had to wait for dawn, Time felt very long. So, she simply didn't refuse and climbed into the Passenger Seat. "Then I'll sleep for a while, what about you guys?"
"I'll wait until dawn," Wataru Takagi said.
"Me too," Conan indicated that he could also stay up.
"There's nothing to do tomorrow, I'll go back and sleep later." Chi Feichei took out two Blankets from the Trunk, handed one to Haibara Ai, and covered the three Child leaning against each other in the Back Seat.
"Why do you even keep two Blankets in the Trunk?" Conan asked curiously. Generally, people would keep a Blanket in the Trunk, but Chi Feichei is single, one should be enough, right?
Haibara Ai wrapped the Blanket tightly and yawned again. She wasn't curious about this at all. For Chi Feichei, it wasn't strange at all. Maybe there were more than just two...
"Child can't Unable to Endure it, I actually brought three Blankets," Chi Feichei said to Conan, "If you want to sleep, take a Blanket yourself."
Conan: "..."
The Sky was gloomy, without a moon or stars.
Under the dim Street Lamp, a red Car was parked next to the Bench. Three people sat on the Bench, each in Silence.
Ten minutes later, Chi Feichei waited calmly, thinking about his own affairs, and didn't mind how long the Silence lasted.
Wataru Takagi and Conan, on the other hand, were Unable to Endure it anymore. It was about two or three hours until dawn. If they went to sleep, not to mention whether they would oversleep, they would feel even sleepier when they woke up. It was better to stay up until the matter was resolved and then sleep well.
However, just sitting here like this, Time was too difficult to endure.
"Brother Chi, do you only have black Clothes?" Conan couldn't help but ask Chi Feichei. He had never seen Chi Feichei change into Clothes of other Colors. Either they were all black, or they had some white lines or simple white patterns.
If everyone wasn't familiar with him, he would be put on the Suspicion List of some dangerous Organization in minutes, okay?
"Personal preference," Chi Feichei also broke the Silence, "Black is durable and looks good."
This...
Conan couldn't refute it for a moment. He couldn't criticize other people's preferences, right?
"Right, why don't we take turns telling Stories?" Wataru Takagi, seeing that it was about to become awkward, suggested aloud. He felt that Conan was overthinking it. Chatting with Chi Feichei was just asking for an awkward Silence. It would be better to chat with him, but if only two people chatted, Chi Feichei would be neglected. It would be better to tell Stories.
Conan nodded in agreement, "Okay."
"I have no Opinion," Chi Feichei also agreed.
"Since I suggested it, let me go first..." Wataru Takagi thought for a while and told a Story that he had felt the deepest about during his time as a Police Officer, about the Senior Officer who died in the line of duty. It wasn't suspenseful, but it was touching.
Not to mention Conan, he told a Detective Story. After finishing, he looked at Chi Feichei curiously. Chi Feichei didn't seem like someone who would tell Stories...
Although Wataru Takagi felt it was a bit unkind, he still turned to look at Chi Feichei, waiting to see a good show.
"Let me think," Chi Feichei thought for a moment, "The Story is called, 'Older Sister in the Bottle'..."
Wataru Takagi: "..."
Conan: "..."
Why does it feel a bit off?
Late at Night, silence all around.
A clear and cold male voice calmly narrated a Ghost Story, without exaggerated deliberate scare tactics, and even without much emotional fluctuation. Just as he spoke, the Temperature in the cold winter seemed to drop a few more degrees, making people's hair stand on end.
After Chi Feichei finished speaking, Conan and Wataru Takagi were silent for a long time.
"It's your turn, Police Officer Takagi," Chi Feichei reminded.
In Wataru Takagi's ears, this Sound inexplicably felt like a ghost urging him to his death. He shivered and then came back to his senses, "Uh, that... I suddenly can't think of what Story to tell..."
Chi Feichei looked at Conan again, "Conan."
Conan's mouth twitched slightly. His Mind was in a mess. As soon as he heard Chi Feichei's Sound, he imagined the Ghost Girl in the Small Bottle that Chi Feichei had mentioned, "I can't think of any good Story either."
Chi Feichei thought for a moment, "Then I'll tell one."
"Can we change the type?" Conan proactively requested.
Wataru Takagi nodded quickly, even if someone else told it, it would be better.
"I can only think of this," Chi Feichei said, "And don't you think it's refreshing?"
"This..." Wataru Takagi felt it, "It's indeed not sleepy at all."
In the next two hours, it became Chi Feichei's solo performance.
He didn't want to keep talking either. After telling a Story, he would leave a little Time for the two of them to think, but in the end, he was still the one who told them.
The ghost walking backwards, the Washroom cleaner, who is the ghost after all... similar Stories varied in length, some were a few Words, some were longer, and he told as many as eleven or twelve.
At dawn, Haibara Ai, who was sleeping lightly, woke up, rubbed her Eyes, sat up, and looked through the Car Window. She saw Chi Feichei, Conan, and Wataru Takagi sitting in a row on the Bench. After pausing for a moment, she removed the Blanket, opened the Car Door, and got out of the Car. "Didn't you sleep all Night? Aren't you sleepy?"
"Not sleepy."
"It's okay..."
Wataru Takagi and Conan shook their Heads in unison, feeling like crying but having no tears.
Chi Feichei's Stories are really damn refreshing!
Haibara Ai saw that the two people's Faces were a little pale and suppressed her yawn. She turned to look at Chi Feichei, "What's wrong with them?"
"It's nothing, maybe they're cold." Chi Feichei shook his Head. It was obvious that they hadn't experienced the torment of Ghost Stories. Those Slit-Mouthed Woman Legend, Snow Woman Legend, and so on were too old-fashioned. The Stories he was tired of hearing when he was six or seven years old could scare these two.
Haibara Ai understood. It didn't seem strange that they were pale from the cold. "The Temperature has indeed been getting lower and lower recently, but isn't there still a Blanket?"
Wataru Takagi and Conan looked at each other: "..."
They actually forgot...
If they had a Blanket wrapped around them, it should provide some psychological comfort, at least it would be warmer.
Haibara Ai was puzzled in her Mind and always felt that these two people were strange. "Are we going to the Department Store to ask about the Situation now?"
Wataru Takagi then remembered that there was still a Case to solve and quickly stood up, "Of course! I'll go, you guys wait for me here."
"I'll go too!" Conan also jumped down from the Bench. He wanted to change his Mood.
"You look like you're in good Mental State," Haibara Ai watched the two people leave quickly, sat down on the Bench, turned her Head to look at Chi Feichei, and found that Chi Feichei's Mental State was also good. She suddenly admired these three people for being so able to stay up. "Is the Injury on your Body healed?"
"It's healed," Chi Feichei saw Haibara Ai staring at his Sleeve and explained, "The Weights have been removed."
Haibara Ai nodded. Chi Feichei often wore a Windbreaker, and the Sleeves were very wide. In the past, she thought it was for convenience to carry Hissashi, but last time when they went to Izu, she realized that Chi Feichei's Arms were always tied with Weights. Hissashi also had it hard, having to squeeze in with the Weights. "Will you still tie Weights for training in the future?"
"I won't tie them anymore. If I add Hissashi, there will be no Place to stay, and the growth of Physical Fitness has also slowed down." Chi Feichei's expression didn't change much. When he made the training plan, he was mentally prepared.
Now, all aspects of the data have reached his expected standards. The Time used was a bit shorter. The quality and potential of this Body are better than he imagined.
"However, using Weights to improve Physical Fitness too quickly before, it's best to settle down for a while, otherwise, the potential will be consumed in advance, and it will be difficult to catch up with Kyogoku in Physical Fitness in the future," Chi Feichei added.
Haibara Ai originally wanted to ask Doctor Agasa about it, but seeing that Chi Feichei already had a plan, she didn't mention it anymore. "According to him, he plans to go Overseas to improve himself and strive to defeat you next time he comes back."
"It's impossible in the short term, and it's impossible for me to defeat him either." Chi Feichei looked at the Sky, turned his Head, and asked Haibara Ai, "Ai, Morning Exercise?"
PS: Terror Stories will not be written out, so as not to make people feel scared... I will not admit that I feel scared...
