Chapter 180 The Grim Reaper Trio Visits the Art Museum
On the day Wang Changsheng and Xiaoying captured the Clow Cards, it was only during their lunch break.
Teitan High School in Beika Town.
Sonoko was chatting with her best friend, Miz Ran.
"Ran, why are you reading the newspaper? Is there some handsome guy in it?" Seeing Ran slumped over the table, eyes half-closed, engrossed in the newspaper, the incredibly bored Sonoko couldn't help but chatter on. "Why don't we get a handsome transfer student in our class? I heard there are lots of handsome guys in Tomoeda Town next door!"
"Reading the newspaper can help me find out what's going on lately. How come there are handsome guys in there? Besides, my dad likes to record important news in the newspaper, so I wanted to help out." Despite being pestered by Sonoko, Ran wasn't angry. She just smiled helplessly and said casually.
"For example, before, Beika Town and Tomoeda Town had not established a good publicity and communication channel, so we knew very little about the other side. However, recently the newspaper has published a lot about Tomoeda Town. You see, it says here that we have attracted many of our neighbors from Tomoeda Town to come and visit."
Ran pointed to a small section of the newspaper article: "Various venues and schools on both sides have started exchanges, which is a great thing! Sonoko, if you read the newspaper more, you'll learn a lot of information."
"Oh dear, oh dear~" Sonoko immediately covered her ears when she heard Ran speak. "Ran, why have you become so talkative, just like Shinichi? Be careful you don't turn into a mother hen early, or Shinichi won't want you anymore!"
"Sonoko! What nonsense are you talking about!" Ran glared at her, pretending to be angry. "Hmph, I'm ignoring you!"
Seeing Ran continue reading the newspaper with her head down, Sonoko sat down on the stool and moved next to Ran along with the chair, saying in a coquettish tone, "Oh dear, Ran-chan~ don't be angry, I'm so sorry, Shinichi definitely wants you~"
"What do you mean by 'want' or 'don't want'? Don't talk nonsense, Sonoko! Shinichi and I are nothing!" Ran pushed Sonoko's head.
That guy disappeared after our last date, and she refuses to believe he has anything to do with her! Humph!
"Okay, okay, it's nothing, it's nothing~" Sonoko chuckled, stopping teasing her best friend. She gripped the front of the bench with both hands, then leaned back, swaying back and forth. "What do you think, should I go for a stroll in Tomoeda-cho?"
"What are you doing over there?" Ran looked at Sonoko. "Can't you act a little more ladylike, Sonoko? You're just swaying around like that, and you're even wearing a skirt."
Sonoko scoffed, then immediately sat up straight, and said with an air of elegance, "There are so many handsome guys over there. A beautiful, charming, and cute girl like me could easily snag one in a minute, right? Even just one would be great!"
Xiaolan:
She wanted to say something, but seeing how pitiful Sonoko looked, she couldn't say anything and could only remain silent.
"Hey? Ran, why aren't you saying anything?" Sonoko touched her face, feeling that it was really a bit unreasonable for such a beautiful girl like her not to have a boyfriend yet.
Shinichi was actually quite handsome, and she could have been interested, but he was, after all, her sister's man. Although Ran always tried to distance herself from the relationship between them, anyone with a brain could see what it really was.
There's a saying that goes something like that.
What was that phrase called again?
Sonoko tilted her head.
Damn it, I had a vague recollection of it, but now that I think about it carefully, I've completely forgotten what she was trying to say.
"Oh no! I'm not going to get stupid again, am I?!" Sonoko cried.
Xiao Lan, watching her performance from the side, was also a little confused.
Her best friend is great in every way, except that she's a bit too eccentric, and I often feel ashamed because I can't keep up with her pace.
"Getting dumber? Sonoko, you're really overthinking it. You haven't gotten dumber."
Just then, Eisuke Aizawa, who was eating a bento box nearby, swallowed a sausage whole, looked up at Sonoko, and grinned mischievously.
This guy is known as the class's foul-mouthed jerk. Sonoko could tell from his expression that he was up to no good.
"Stop! Go eat your food, even eating can't shut you up." Sonoko rolled her eyes.
"Cough cough cough!" The spellcasting was abruptly interrupted, and the foul-mouthed man, no, Eisuke Aizawa, almost choked on the words he was about to blurt out.
Xiaolan shook her head, turned the newspaper to the next page, and saw a news report about the strange incident at the Beika Town Art Museum.
"Huh? What strange news."
Ran's attention was drawn to it, and Sonoko, seeing this, also peeked over.
On the newspaper, which occupied almost half the page, was a record of a strange event.
"Shocking! Every night, the armor in the museum comes to life, wandering around and reaping the souls of the dying?" Sonoko couldn't help but exclaim.
"What kind of strange news is this? The headline is so long." Although the story was intriguing, there was just too much content, and Sonoko didn't want to read it at all.
Besides, just one glance at the headline is enough to understand the whole story of this news.
"Where did this fake news come from? How could such a thing really happen!" Sonoko waved her hand knowingly. "It's probably just that the art museum is trying to create hype by spreading this baseless rumor so that everyone will go to visit, and then the little money they spend on the newspapers will keep flowing back."

Sonoko's tone carried a certain certainty, and Ran agreed that it made sense.
"But I heard it was security personnel who saw it." She flipped through the newspaper and found that besides this report, there was a short passage in the middle that said it was a secret message about the art museum ghost armor incident.
"If you're curious, why don't you go and see for yourself? It's the weekend anyway. But don't get your hopes up, it's definitely fake!" Sonoko waved her hand, not really interested in this kind of thing, and scurried back to her seat.
It has to be said that even though she seems a bit silly, she really does have a silly personality.
but!
She was, after all, from the Suzuki family, and had seen too much about profit since she was young. So from her perspective, the essence of this report was to attract attention and make everyone curious about that armor, so that everyone would want to take a look.
They might release some merchandise later and make another fortune.
Sonoko judged that, barring any unforeseen circumstances, something must have happened to this art museum.
Otherwise, art museums would not typically use such a drastic measure as to damage their own reputation for publicity.
Seeing that Ran was very interested, Sonoko returned to her seat listlessly, starting to fantasize about whether to go to Tomoeda-cho over the weekend. Maybe she could even meet a handsome guy who would fall in love with her at first sight.
Hehe~!
"That's true. Tomorrow's the weekend, and Dad doesn't have any assignments or work. Conan will also be off." After listening to Sonoko's words, Ran nodded hesitantly, thinking for a moment. "Looking at it this way, I could take them to the art museum tomorrow to cultivate their minds!"
------
On the school bus heading to the Beika Town Art Museum.
"Have you heard? There seem to be some paranormal events at the art museum we're going to!" Naoko, Rika, and the others huddled together, sitting in front of Wang Changsheng, Sakura, and Tomoyo, discussing the art museum they were about to visit.
"Huh? What kind of supernatural event is it now?" Chiharu's expression changed slightly when she heard Naoko say that.
Last time, she listened to what Naoko said and ended up suffering a great loss in the back mountain.
This time, Naoko, the queen of gossip, even knew about the paranormal events happening at the Beika Town Art Museum they were going to...
Could it be true again?
"I heard there's a suit of armor in that art museum that comes down and walks around by itself every midnight!" Naoko whispered to the people around her.
"What? Armor that moves on its own?" Chiharu's eyes widened. "Really?"
"I don't know either, I've just heard about it." Naoko shook her head.
"If there really are paranormal events, wouldn't it be dangerous for the school to organize our class to go there for a sketching activity?" Li Jia asked with some doubt.
"this……"
The three girls sitting in front of Wang Changsheng were chattering away, and Xiaoying next to Wang Changsheng had no choice but to listen.
"Little Wang..." Xiaoying glanced at Wang Changsheng sitting to her left, then hesitated.
Tomoyo, sitting to Sakura's right by the window, also looked over. She lowered her voice, trying to make sure only the two of them could hear, "It's not that one again, is it?"
Wang Changsheng glanced at the two of them.
After a moment of silence, he shook his head: "Actually, there aren't that many mysterious forces in this world right now. We can't expect to encounter strange things everywhere we go, can we? This might just be man-made."
Hearing Wang Changsheng say this, Xiaoying nodded innocently, while Zhishi seemed to be deep in thought.
After all, Tomoyo also comes from a large family, so her way of thinking is actually somewhat similar to Sonoko's.
Just because she was with Sakura and encountered these strange things, her first reaction was whether she had encountered something like the Clow Cards again.
However, after listening to Wang Changsheng's words, Zhi Shi nodded in agreement.
Indeed, you can't encounter these kinds of things just by going around.
Since this aspect is no longer a consideration, then according to Tomoyo's habitual way of thinking as a young lady from a prominent family, she would naturally think that this art museum is just a show.
Furthermore, she and Sonoko shared a remarkably consistent assessment of the art museum.
"Perhaps there's some kind of crisis at this art museum."
Upon hearing Zhi Shi's words, Wang Changsheng glanced at her and chuckled inwardly.
Isn't there a crisis...?
He hadn't thought much of it when he learned that he was going to the Beika Town Art Museum today.
However, before he left home in the morning, while he was having dinner, the housekeeper told him that there were some bad rumors about the art museum and reminded him to be careful when he went there.
At that moment, Wang Changsheng's heart skipped a beat.
Listening to the gossip and the discussions between Queen Naoko and her friends, Wang Changsheng became even more certain about which art museum they were going to visit.
"What a coincidence?" Wang Changsheng sighed inwardly. "I can only hope that Conan, the Grim Reaper, doesn't go today, and that it's a different day than ours."
The museum is now rumored to be haunted, which confirms what Tomoyo said: the museum's operations are facing problems.
This means that a murder could occur at any art museum during this period.
However, the fact that the school is still able to take them to Beika Town indicates that the art museum is still safe and sound.

"Sigh, wish me luck."
The whole class unanimously approved the school's sketching activity, but Wang Changsheng couldn't decide when to go.
Of course, Wang Changsheng had no idea how this bizarre timeline came about. He had absolutely no idea when the class had ever held a vote and unanimously passed...
Nobody even asked for his opinion!
"It seems that Conan's amazing timeline has begun to affect Tomoeda Town."
Wang Changsheng sighed deeply in his heart again.
To be honest, he didn't want to live a life where today is Friday and tomorrow is Monday.
Furthermore, if the timeline of the Conan world were to overflow wildly and completely affect the entire world...
"Am I going to never grow up, you idiot?"
Wang Changsheng couldn't help but curse in his mind.
This idea made it difficult for Wang Changsheng to remain calm.
After all, he knew how terrifying Conan's timeline was.
It has endured countless springs, summers, autumns, and winters.
Conan hasn't even moved up one grade.
And if it doesn't grow up...
"Cough cough cough!"
Wang Changsheng coughed twice.
"Hmm? Xiao Wang, what's wrong?" Hearing Wang Changsheng cough, Xiao Ying turned around and looked at him with concern. "Did you catch a chill last night?"
"Ah? Ah..." Wang Changsheng shook his head repeatedly, his face slightly flushed. "It's nothing, I'm fine. I just suddenly thought of something, and then I wasn't paying attention and choked on my saliva, hahaha~"
"Uh, okay..." Hearing Wang Changsheng's words, Xiaoying nodded blankly, not knowing what to say for a moment. "Then, you should be more careful."
Since some people actually choke on their own saliva...
Sakura couldn't help but feel a little amazed, and she secretly glanced at Wang Changsheng.
Xiao Wang is so cute!
Since the two places were not very far apart, the school bus took them around for about half an hour before stopping at the entrance of the art museum.
Wang Changsheng spotted someone very quickly.
No, there are three people.
The Grim Reaper Trio!
Wang Changsheng's eyes widened immediately: "Oh no, oh no, something terrible is going to happen!"
