Detective Conan: Beika Town's Complete Transformation into Los Santos

Page 102

The three little ones, who had already turned on their flashlights, strolled leisurely. "It's okay, we're just going in to take a look."

Curaçao was very anxious, but having lost her memory, she had almost no opinions of her own when not in a crisis.

Faced with this situation, her first reaction was to ask Conan what to do.

What else can I do?

Let's go in together.

And Conan himself was indeed a little curious.

The five people who went out to collect firewood thus began their exploration.

Not far inside, Conan noticed that Curaçao was indeed no ordinary person.

Despite wearing sunglasses and not having a flashlight, the other person moved around in the pitch-black cave without any hindrance, easily avoiding even the large and small pebbles under their feet.

Moreover, she was looking around without any lights, as if she could actually see clearly.

In fact, Curaçao can see it very clearly.

She could even clearly sense the airflow blowing across her body.

By analyzing the airflow, she can also discern where the road is ahead.

And... there was sound too!

Curaçao was startled and raised her hand to call the three little ones who were walking ahead back, but she was too slow.

Genta charged in like a wild boar and came running out again, howling.

"There's...there's a corpse!!!"

Three armed robbers followed him out.

Curaçao moved swiftly; before Conan could even extend his hand, she had already flashed forward and shielded the three children behind her.

"Oh, I didn't expect it to be just a few kids, but there's a beautiful woman with them."

The three thugs knew they had it in the bag as soon as they saw the enemy's equipment, and their tense state of mind relaxed.

"Big brother, can we hold off on killing this woman for now, hehe."

"Haha, of course! We'll be stuck in this shabby cave for the foreseeable future, so it'll be perfect to use her to relieve our fatigue!"

"Hehehe, she has a really great figure, we've struck gold again."

The three little ones huddled behind Curaçao, trembling with fear.

Conan then ran over and tugged at Curaçao's hand, "Yuki-neechan, let's run!"

But Curaçao simply pulled her hand away gently, turned back and smiled tenderly, "Conan, could you please take Ayumi and the others to hide first? I know you're different from ordinary children."

Since the group didn't run away immediately, and consisted of women and children, the three armed robbers stood there with great interest, as if watching a drama unfold.

The gang leader suddenly fired a shot at the rock wall. "You woman over there, if you want me to spare these children, I advise you to save your energy and try to please us later."

"Releasing them is absolutely impossible, but if you cooperate obediently, we will be more swift and decisive in our actions, and try our best to minimize their suffering."

He was generous with his bullets.

It's easier to just fire the gun.

Ordinary people would probably be so scared when faced with firearms that their legs would go weak and they wouldn't be able to move at all.

That's fine; he enjoys freely manipulating his targets, it makes things more fun.

The gang leader fell into a strange fantasy.

The moment Conan heard the gunshot, he knew he had really run into desperate criminals. He had no choice but to take the opportunity to run away with the three kids.

It was almost at the same time.

Curaçao moved.

The distance between her and the bandits wasn't far to begin with, and the three of them had even moved closer to her earlier.

For her, this distance only takes three or four steps to reach, and that's without a running start.

As soon as the three little ones ran, the flashlight beam instantly turned to the other side.

From the robbers' perspective, Curaçao was like a ghost in the night, disappearing in a flash.

The moment he blinked, the woman appeared right in front of him.

"you......!"

Curaçao didn't want to say much.

A simple palm strike knocked him unconscious.

The other two robbers were his underlings, and their reaction time was even slower.

Just as one of them was about to raise his hand to fire, he was immediately struck in the wrist by a precise kick from Curaçao, and the gun fell to the ground with a crisp sound.

Another one that was far more than Curaçao had anticipated.

Normally he should have dropped his gun and surrendered at this point, but he actually tried to fight back.

Curaçao shoved the unconscious bandit leader forward to stop him, and Palm Root followed him.

A powerful palm strike to the opponent's chin sent a shiver down their spine.

Conan and the others changed their escape route to watching the battle, and they were all dumbfounded.

"So...so awesome!"

"Did Yuki-neechan learn karate like Ran-neechan?"

"That's so cool! I wonder if I could ask her to teach me too!"

Conan looked serious.

Based on their performance just now, it's impossible to definitively say whether Yuki Amami or Ran Mouri has stronger close-combat abilities.

But he was certain that in terms of combat skills and mental fortitude, Yuki Amami was far superior to Ran Mouri!

She's a woman, and she's also very good at fighting.

Could it be the one I saw in the Twin Towers skyscraper?

Conan is now obsessed. Anyway, he didn't really see what the man and woman looked like at the time, so he just puts anyone who even remotely fits the description into the list.

the other side.

Lin Che followed another path deeper into the cave.

Although the dragon's magnetic field was weak, he still managed to capture the dark magic power he needed, but the collection progress was too slow, only about 2% so far.

"This is pretty much it."

Lin Che stopped and his gaze fell on a sphere supported by a pillar.

There is a line of text engraved on it:

Lost wanderer in the darkness, quickly step onto the auspicious dragon path, and heaven will surely bestow blessings and shine upon you.

“I came from the Path of Auspicious Dragon.”

Lin Che noticed that the dark magic power above his head was slowly condensing into a coiled black dragon.

The longan eyes were tightly closed, exuding an imposing aura without anger.

Chapter 126 Auspicious Dragon Bestows Blessings

Although it was a black dragon that looked like it represented evil, Lin Che didn't actually sense anything bad about it.

It's also possible that because he himself follows the path of dark magic, sharing the same origin as this black dragon, he didn't sense any "malice."

"It's sealed, but where is the source of the seal?" Lin Che's gaze swept back and forth.

It seems that the only thing in this place that could be associated with "mechanisms" is the stone pillar and stone sphere in front of us, and the black dragon happens to be directly above it.

But does breaking the seal mean destroying the stone pillar or deciphering the inscriptions on the stone sphere?

The latter is more likely.

However, the text guides those who read it to the Path of the Auspicious Dragon and thus escape from darkness, and Lin Che himself came from the so-called "Path of the Auspicious Dragon".

After a brief moment of thought, Lin Che kicked the stone pillar and broke it in two.

He seems to be overthinking things. The point is to liberate the black dragon and make it emit a more powerful magnetic field; the specific method of breaking the seal is not important.

As the stone pillar broke, the stone ball rolled to the ground.

Immediately afterwards, the entire cave began to shake violently with a "rumbling" sound, as if a sudden earthquake had occurred.

Curaçao, who had just tied up the three thugs with his sleeves, immediately shielded the children under his body after feeling the tremor.

Fortunately, only some loose rocks fell from the cave ceiling, and there was no large-scale collapse.

But Conan couldn't help but feel a lingering fear. "Let's get out of here quickly! What if the cave collapses? We'll be done for!"

This time, the three children didn't argue and quickly followed Conan outside.

Curaçao, on the other hand, was dragging three robbers by himself.

This wasn't too difficult for her, but it made her start to think.

These three are all criminals, and she will personally hand them over to the police shortly.

What about herself?

Did they really get away with it and even become a very positive person?

But she really didn't want to go to jail.

'Then try your best to be a good person around Mr. Lin and do as many good deeds as possible.'

Curaçao steadied himself and successfully dragged the three bandits out of the cave.

The three of them really wanted to do something, but with Curaçao in charge, they couldn't do anything.

And Curaçao's image in Conan's eyes became increasingly strange.

In his view, Curaçao is like a "little girl with a musket," possessing both extreme clarity and extreme violence.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to describe this situation as "a foreign soul residing in this body".

I have no idea where Lin Che got to know these strange people.

But I can understand it, after all, Lin Che himself is a bit strange, and birds of a feather flock together.

Seeing that the mountain did not seem to be shaking any further, Conan thought for a moment and then said, "According to Genta, there is still a corpse inside the cave."

“If the mountain really collapses, it will be very difficult to get the body out. I want to go in and drag the body out as well.”

"This will be very helpful for the police in investigating related cases."

Curaçao naturally couldn't let a child go and move the body, so she called out to Conan, "I'll go instead, you probably can't drag it anyway."

“But…” Conan didn’t really want Curaçao to be in danger; he really wanted to go himself.

But Curaçao shook her head firmly, then smiled gently and reached out to pat the corgi's head. "Don't worry, I'll be right back."

Curaçao went there.

However, an unexpected event followed.

Although the gang leader, who was lying on the ground, had his hands tied behind his back, he still managed to pull a gun from his accomplice, turn around, and aim it at Conan.

Curaçao did indeed surrender to them.

Since there were four of them, including the corpses, they would naturally have four guns!

The environment was dark at the time, and the mountain suddenly trembled. Curaçao did not find the extra gun.

That woman is very capable; these little brats are just little brats.

The gang leader plans to kill Conan, who seems to be the smartest and most alert, and then force the remaining children to help him untie them and take them hostage.

"Go to hell, you brat!!!"

boom--!

Bullets fired.
