Chapter 236 Dummies and Dolls

“These stone statues…”

As soon as Conan walked into the classroom, he shone the light on the stone statues, took a step forward and observed them carefully.

"There's tape on it, there must be something wrong!" He checked it and came to the conclusion.

"Apart from these, there doesn't seem to be anything special." Huibara Ai looked around and said.

"Then let's go to the infirmary and find that mannequin!" Mitsuhiko shifted his gaze away from the stone statue.

"Let's go." Ze Yu nodded slightly.

The positions of these stone statues were a little crooked. Before leaving, Ze Yu straightened them out, then left and closed the door of the art classroom.

…………

After a while...

Health room.

Everyone came in and searched for a while, but to no avail. Ayumi couldn't help but frowned in confusion: "Where is the model? Why can't we find it?"

"Ayumi, Ai, do you see the curtains over there?" Ze Yu suddenly spoke, looking at the curtains on the wall, with a smile with a hint of evil taste appearing on his face.

"See, is there something wrong with this curtain?" Ayumi asked curiously, while Haibara Ai just looked at the curtain quietly with a calm expression.

She probably understood what Ze Yu meant.

If nothing unexpected happens, the dummy must be hiding behind this curtain.

But who would have such a bad taste as to hide a dummy behind the curtains?
Don’t you know it’s scary?
Ze Yu smiled and said: "Go open the curtains, there will be a surprise~"

"Huh? Really?" Ayumi blinked, then walked over and stretched out her arms.

Seeing this scene, Conan complained: "I have a bad feeling..."

"Me too." Hiroki nodded in agreement.

Huiyuan Ai couldn't help but remind her: "Ayumi, be careful."

As soon as she finished speaking, Ayumi opened the curtains.

I saw a tall mannequin placed under the curtain. It was standing there without any skin, and looked a bit creepy.

It's a bit like the legendary 'Attack on Titan'.

If ordinary people see it, they will feel fear at first sight, which is normal.

But Haibara Ai is not an ordinary person. She is used to seeing these models. Moreover, she has prepared herself mentally in advance. Therefore, even when she saw the mannequin with her own eyes, she was not afraid at all.

There was only calmness and composure on Haibara Ai's face.

But unlike the common Haibara Ai, Ayumi, who opened the curtains with her own hands, is just an ordinary person.

Ayumi opened the curtain with anticipation, and then was frightened by the scene in front of her, her face turned pale, she felt a surge of fear in her heart, and her whole body was shaking.

"Ah!" She screamed in fear, then ran out quickly, and bumped into Haibara Ai who was standing beside her.

boom!
Caught off guard, Haibara Ai's eyes widened in an instant after being hit, her expression turned shocking, and she was about to fall to the ground.

At this moment, a small hand was placed on Haibara Ai's shoulder, steadying her body so that she would not stagger and fall to the ground.

"Little Feather."

A familiar feeling came over her, containing a sense of intimacy and security. Without even turning her head, Haibara Ai knew the other person's identity and called out his name.

"Be careful." Ze Yu had a sweet smile on his face, then shifted his gaze to look at Ayumi who was in a panic.

At this time, Ayumi had already run out of the health room.

"Xiao Yu, you have such a bad taste..." Seeing this, Hongshu couldn't help but smile bitterly and held his forehead helplessly.

After so much time, he really hasn't changed at all, and is the same as in my memory. It seems that no matter whether Ze Yu is an adult or a child, this familiar bad taste will not change.

I can only say, you are worthy of it!
Yuan Tai looked confused.

Judging from Xiaoyu's expression, he should have known that there was a dummy hidden behind the curtains, but he did not tell Ayumi. Instead, he tricked Ayumi into opening the curtains.

In the end, Ayumi was frightened.

I didn’t expect you to be such a Xiaoyu!

"What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and chase him!" Conan said anxiously and ran out first.

"Let's go too." After saying that, Ze Yu led everyone out of the health room and chased in the direction Conan and the others left.

Ayumi ran with fear on her face, because the teaching building was too dark and she couldn't hold the flashlight steadily, so she bumped into something and fell to the ground.

"Ouch!" Ayumi rubbed her head in grievance. She shone the flashlight and saw clearly what was in front of her.

This is a box filled with furry dolls, like the toys of children in kindergarten.

Ayumi picked up a doll curiously and looked at it carefully.

Ze Yu ran over and asked softly, "Ayumi, are you okay?"

Even though Conan was the first to catch up, how could his speed possibly match that of Ze Yu?

"Xiao Yu." Ayumi turned around, put down the toy in her hand, and said aggrievedly: "You should have known that the dummy was behind the curtain, right? Why did you trick me into opening it?"

"I was almost frightened just now!"

"Sorry." Ze Yu smiled bitterly, with an apologetic look on his face and a little helpless in his heart.

He seems to have accidentally played big...

Ze Yu walked over, raised his fingers, and gently wiped away the tears from the corners of Ayumi's eyes. There were stars twinkling in those amber eyes, and his tone was very sincere: "Ayumi, I just wanted to make a joke, I didn't expect your reaction to be so exaggerated."

"But no matter what, this is my fault."

"I'm sorry! Can you forgive me?"

"Well... I forgive you." Ayumi turned her head away with a blush and said softly.

After being forgiven, Ze Yu smiled slightly, took a few steps back and kept some distance.

At this time, other people also rushed to the scene.

"Ayumi, are you okay?" Yuantai asked with concern.

"I'm fine." Ayumi replied as her complexion returned to normal.

"What's up with these dolls?" Conan couldn't help but ask when he saw the dolls in the box.

"I don't know why these dolls are placed in this box. They look very cute." Ayumi looked at the plush dolls in the box and blinked with some envy.

She likes these dolls very much.

"Wow, so many dolls? That's amazing!" Yuantai said happily with a bright smile.

As a child, he also liked these stuffed toys, even Mitsuhiko did.

"Maybe this is the doll used by a previous class in the school when they performed a doll play," Mitsuhiko guessed.

"But why are these dolls placed here?" Hiroki walked over, his face a little confused.

PS: Recently, the author’s eyesight has deteriorated significantly, probably because of staying up late to update, which is bad for the eyes.

Things are becoming increasingly blurry.

What a bad feeling...
