OMG! This is getting intense!

Hey guys. And guess what. PART 15. You guys are the most amazing readers in the whole universe. When you guys aren't there, this story couldn't have reached the fifteenth or the further part. You guys; thank you.

Anyways! Keep reading, dear tanteis!

"That was the most creepiest thing that you have ever told me in my whole life!"

Sonoko exclaimed, looking at Kazuha with a feared expression. Kazuha nodded at Sonoko's exclaimation. "I know, Sonoko. It was creepy! Just imagine the Umbrella Goddess looking at you, abnormally holding an umbrella with her mouth, with blank eyes staring into your soul! I've heard rumors of that woman, so far..."

It was starting to get really boring waiting for any reports from the police, so the girls decided to chat. Kazuha then started rambling about an 'Umbrella Goddess' that took the whole conversation of their chat into a new line. Besides, urban legends are not so hard to believe, right?

"Nah, I don't think that woman is real," Heiji suddenly said, making the two girls look up at him. "She's just an urban legend. She's only a made-up horror story by people from ancient times." he added, making Kazuha scoff.

"Finally, the detective of the West has spoken up," Sonoko said. "Y'know, we're just chatting right over here. So would you please mind your own business?" she asked Heiji, but Sonoko noticed that he didn't respond. The two girls sighed at this and continued chatting over creepy urban legends that they could think of.

However, Heiji's eyes were focused on the only girl that hasn't spoke up a word like he did: Ran.

She was just sitting beside the two girls, but she didn't mind having a horror conversation with the other two. Ran's just sitting there, seemingly in a deep thought.

What's with her? Heiji thought. Ran's been always like that after we were sent here. What is she thinking about?

Just as Heiji was about to ask Ran, Kogoro poked Heiji on the shoulder. "Hey, kiddo, wanna have a minute?" Kogoro asked. Heiji nodded at this and followed Kogoro to their destined area where they could talk privately.

"What's wrong, Kogoro?" Heiji asked with a questioning look on his face. "You don't look too good. What's wrong?"

Kogoro turned his head around in different directions before turning back to Heiji. "You see, I just noticed that Ran was always silent." Kogoro turned to Ran. Heiji nodded in understanding. "She seems to be in a deep thought, and I'm worried! She says she's been experiencing a lot of dreams lately. That's why I'm worried!" he said.

"Maybe there's something bothering her?" Heiji wondered. "I dunno. So is this why you wanted to have a minute with me?"

Kogoro scratched his head. "Actually... Yeah... No. The inspector told me that the police are going to investigate the insides and I'm in for the challenge. You maybe wanna watch out for suspicious people to snatch those three?" he said before pointing to the girls.

Heiji smirked. "Don't worry, Kogoro. I'll make sure that these girls are always steady on their spot." the detective said before leaving. "Oh, and good luck with the case, Kogoro-san."

"Yeah, sure, baka." Kogoro mumbled before running off towards the inspector. Heiji looked at Kogoro running off, and irritated look displayed on his face. "I heard that, asshat." he mumbled back.

Heiji then turned toward the girls. Ran was just silent on her sitting area, still in the deep thought that she is in. But the other two? Guess what...

"But that Talisman Woman..."

"The banzai cheer..."

"The creepy rats that haunted that lady..."

"What about that shadow named Tomonari-kun?"

"And that beautiful but creepy at the same time Wall Woman!"

Are these girls normal? Heiji thought, slightly weirded out by the two girls babbling chatter. They keep babbling about these stupid horror stories and they still wouldn't give up on it!

"Have you two been watching Yami Shibai?" Ran asked. The two looked at her. "You two have been talking about Yami Shibai episodes lately. What's actually wrong with you?"

Come to think of it... Ran's right. Those are Yami Shibai episodes! Heiji thought, the thought of the Japanese horror series starting to form on his head. To be honest, I found that TV series scary. That's why the Umbrella Goddess was so familiar...

"You've been watching Yami Shibai, Ran-san?" Kazuha asked. Ran's fingers formed a ring on her chin, possibly thinking. "Not exactly... But I've watched a few episodes. They were pretty scary, to be honest..."

While the three of them were babbling about the horror anime series, they could hear voices talking in the distance.

"I think we've succeeded..."

Conan had a really strong feeling that they are going to inflict much more pain to make the pain worse, to circulate inside his body as fast as the pain can do.

The Black Organization members crowded around him ready for the torture that he should receive. He closed his eyes tightly, his eyeglasses falling down the ground, being the result of it breaking. He couldn't do anything right now. All he could do to help himself is shut his eyes and wait.

But after a few minutes of waiting for the inflict, he couldn't feel anything.

Huh...? What's wrong with them? Conan thought. Aren't they going to attack and kill me already? Why didn't they make a move yet?

Conan waited for a few more minutes, but they didn't do anything at all. Finally, because of impatience, he rose his head up, only to find that there were none of them at all.

Just before he could clarify as to what is happening, he heard rumbling noises from the distance. He could hear people exclaiming to each other. Those voices are coming towards him!

After the rock broke, the rumbling noise stopped. The only thing that he could hear are the footstps of the people before hearing a man exclaim: "There's someone trapped here!"

The people all ran towards the 'someone' the man is talking about. Kogoro and the police are there, unfortunately. When Conan broke free from the grasps of the rocks, all he could hear were gasps from the people that were in the building with him.

"Conan?!"

Hey guys! Nina here. Okay! 15th part! Now, since Conan has arrived, you would be expecting something else in the next chapter.

And yeah. Cameo of the amazing Yamishibai: Japanese Ghost Stories series in Ran, Kazuha and Sonoko's conversation. Hahhahahaahahahaha! Yeah. I like the series so far, it gives you the shivers. Especially the Umbrella Goddess.

Welp anyways. Enjoy this for now! Don't worry, 16th part is coming right in! I'm still not sure when to end this thingy. I'm worse at ending planning, y'know...

5 parts to go!

R&R!
