Chapter 2444: Full Moon, Tengu, a party full of monsters

In the bar on the ghost ship, all kinds of monsters sat together in twos and threes, drinking drinks and chatting while waiting for the party to begin.

Maori Kogoro looked around and couldn't help but say to Suzuki Sonoko, "There are so many people here today. By the way, that little monk with the Kara umbrella was a child, right? Is it really okay for a child to come to a place like this? How could his parents allow him to come and participate?"

That little monk with a Tang umbrella is small in stature and obviously a little kid. It's impossible that he is an adult in disguise, right?

Suzuki Sonoko said nonchalantly, "The kids nowadays are really good!" Conan's appearance appeared in her mind, "Maybe he just likes this kind of exciting occasion and came here without telling his parents?"

Kogoro Mouri curled his lips in disdain. If that little brat was Conan, he would definitely throw him off the boat on the spot, but he couldn't care less about other people's children, so he immediately stopped paying attention to the little monster.

Suddenly, the lights in the bar dimmed and several candles were abruptly lit. The flickering candlelight added a mysterious and terrifying atmosphere to the dim bar.

"Is it finally going to start?" Suzuki Sonoko looked over expectantly.

The candles were arranged in an orderly manner, forming a passage-like place, with a space specially left at the end.

Along with a strange cry, the sound of mechanical movement suddenly came from the empty space, and a monster dressed as a pirate wearing a skull mask stood on the lift and slowly rose up.

"Wandering demons and ghosts on the dark side of the underworld! Welcome to this ghost ship - the Sea Ghost! I am the ghost captain of this ship, Captain God!

There is still one hour left before the dinner, so please look for people who have the same fate as you, and find the other six companions who have the same mark as you!"

Captain Gold spoke the opening lines loudly.

"The same mark?" Kogoro Mori muttered in confusion.

"It's the Tarot cards!" Suzuki Sonoko said, pulling out a card from her pocket. "Everyone should have received one when they boarded the ship. We should group people with the same cards together so that it will be easier to play the game later?"

Maori Kogoro suddenly realized and took out a tarot card from his pocket. He took a look and said, "It's the card with XV and a goat, right? So we are the Goat Team?"

Kogoro Mori was secretly complaining, what a strange team name!

"It's not a goat!" A monster wearing a Tengu-like hood mask, with wide wings hanging behind him and a round fan in his hand walked over and showed his tarot cards, which were the same as Kogoro Mouri's.

"XV is a Roman numeral, which means 15, and the goat's name is Bafomet, one of the Christian demons. Look, isn't there a word THE DEVI written on the bottom of the card?"

"You are... Tengu?" Maori Kogoro was stunned for a moment, looking at the monster's costume, the round fan in his hand, the wooden sword hanging on his waist, and especially the wings on his back. "Your wings, aren't they heavy? But they look really realistic! Especially the mask!"

Tengu smiled and said in a slightly low voice: "Fortunately, this wing is made of very light material, so it doesn't feel like anything when you carry it on your back."

"Is that so..." Kogoro Mouri replied in a daze, feeling that he was suddenly outshined!

It doesn’t matter that I can’t see her face, since everyone present is a monster now, but just looking at this outfit, it’s obvious that it’s carefully put together, and it’s much better than the makeup I spent a long time choosing and then hurriedly put on.

Not to mention Suzuki Sonoko, she just changed into a shrine maiden's outfit and took a broom.

However, the wings of this Tengu are too wide, so others cannot get too close to it.

"Besides, grouping the guests is not just a game," Tengu said, looking at the monsters whose eyes were fixed on Captain Gold, "This party is also a movie selection event."

"Selection?" Kogoro Mouri and Sonoko Suzuki both looked confused.

"Don't you know?" Tengu seemed a little surprised.

Both shook their heads.

Tengu sighed, but considering that these two were his next teammates, he could only explain patiently: "Do you know that every summer there is a movie called The Voyage of Captain Ghost?"

Maori Kogoro reacted after hearing this. He knew this movie. "It's the one where whenever someone does something bad, a ghost ship full of monsters will come looking for him? So this party is for selecting actors?"

Suzuki Sonoko suddenly became excited: "If that's the case, then if I perform well, I can also act in a movie?"

She has a strong interest in all kinds of new things, and acting in movies is such an interesting thing that it immediately attracted her.

"That's right." Tengu turned around, propped up his wings, and sat on the stool. "Every year, the crew would mingle with the guests to observe and select those who meet the requirements. Even though they are just supporting roles..."

Maori Kogoro immediately understood: "Because the guests will dress up as various monsters, they are divided into groups to make it easier to choose, right?"

Tengu nodded and said, "Yes, this party has been held for the fourth time. So you can see that those people are trying their best to show themselves. So you guys come to this party without knowing anything?"

The two of them immediately showed embarrassed expressions.

Looking at the monsters again, they all looked up at the captain with burning eyes, and from time to time behaved in a way that was consistent with their role settings.

For example, the actor who plays the werewolf makes a howling sound that is very lifelike; the actor who plays the hunchback of Notre Dame moves stiffly like a robot, and the mummy remains silent all the time just like his character; the actor who plays the zombie keeps his hands raised and moves in a hopping manner wherever he goes...

"Bang! Bang!" The sound of hitting a gong was heard.

Captain Gold raised his hands and shouted, "Come on, everyone. We will cross the cursed seven oceans and let those stupid and arrogant humans know how powerful we are!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the monsters responded with strange noises.

For a moment, the whole bar seemed like a riot of demons, with monsters roaring madly everywhere. If someone who didn't know the situation broke in, he would probably think he had come to hell.

At the same time, the sound of a whistle was heard outside.

Maori Kogoro showed a surprised expression: "Huh? Is this ship really going to start?"
