"Belmode?" Mori Kogoro folded his arms and confirmed in a shocked tone, "Do you mean, this person asked you to complete your murder plan?" ”

As he spoke, he glanced at the frightened face of the dead man on the ground.

Is this the real challenge of inviting someone to solve a well-planned kill?

"Well, it's not ......" The man's voice in the werewolf hood weakened a little, "I want to kill the Fukuura producer, this is my own idea." ”

"Because of what, just because of the casting of the movie?" Mori Kogoro guessed as he looked around at the ship full of demons and monsters.

"No, a series that I liked very, very much, because he judged it to be of insufficient commercial value, he hastily ended it, and started making this kind of ghost captain movie that can only deceive children, and he complacently compares himself to the captain who leads the fleet forward...... I hated him so much. ”

Kogoro Mori pursed his lips, and although he was disdainful in his heart, he didn't comment much on his thoughts.

Having already experienced several scenes where enthusiasts kill each other for various reasons, Mori Kogoro is very hype and chooses to shut up at this time.

After explaining the scene of the murder, he also figured out why the party on the ship was in this style.

This is an event organized by the deceased's film company to build momentum for the film, and each time it takes place before the casting begins.

The mummy, who was almost framed by the werewolf, was asked by the deceased to sneak into the scene to play the NPC of the puzzle game, and by the way, he looked for excellent makeup and monster players.

Fans of the series are well aware of this process, and the prize for the decryption event is a set of tickets for the film preview screening.

I have to say that in order to build momentum for this series of films, the film company has spent a lot of money.

The werewolf, immersed in a certain state of horror, was still gushing: "I wrote about this on a wishing website on the Internet, and I said that I resented the Fukuura producer so much that I wanted to kill him. Then, not long after, a man who called himself Belmode sent me a message. He said that he could help me prepare plans and supplies for killing, so I might as well try it......"

"Huh? Just because of this motive, and this pediatric temptation, you really kill someone? Mori Kogoro's eyebrows jumped.

"Of course I refused at first!" The werewolf's voice increased, "I'm venting my dissatisfaction on the Internet, and I don't really want to kill people?" But it didn't take long for me to start receiving all kinds of photos. Candid filming me and my loved ones, tapping recordings of my phones, and even detailed records of my daily actions......"

As he spoke, he seemed to enter the cold fear of that time again.

His voice trembled.

"Too many, too many, getting closer and closer, filling a whole cardboard box and sending it to my home. I, I don't dare to refuse anymore, the other party seems to be saying, if I continue to refuse or call the police, I will encounter accidents! ”

"Okay, you better go to the police station and talk about it." Maori Kogoro winked, and several young adults next to him stepped forward and grabbed the werewolf's arm and clothes to prevent the other from resisting and hurting people.

The werewolf, who had been exposed to the crime in front of so many people, did not resist, and lowered his head in frustration, allowing a few people to pull him into the cabin.

"It's really worthy of Shinichi Kudo!" The murderer was taken away, and the atmosphere at the scene came alive again, "Amazing! ”

"The case can be solved in such a quick time, and it is worthy of its name!"

"Where, where." Hattori, who was leaning on the observation deck, listened to the movement on the other end of the headset and laughed.

Belmode's hole cards are exhausted, and she thinks that she has the pearl of wisdom in her hands and is in control of the overall situation, which is her most relaxed moment.

And what he has to do is to give a fierce fatal blow at the weakest moment.

"I can solve it quickly because I have the same thinking as the prisoner, and we use the same technique."

"What do you mean by the same technique?" Suzuki Sonoko, who had been shivering in the cool sea breeze with a broom in his arms for a while, couldn't stand it, and he continued to pretend like this, "Didn't the prisoner put his hood over the mummy's bandage, what do you mean?" ”

"So, that's ......"

"Bang-"

Belmode had just pressed her finger on the trigger when the sound of bulletproof glass shattering sounded first, and flying glass shards slammed into her face.

Instinctively dodged, and Hattori Heiji's voice, which was completely different from Kudo Shinichi, happened to come from the headphones.

The revolver in his hand was knocked out by the powerful orb, and the wrist was dislocated in a pain, causing Belmode to instinctively take two steps back and give up his position.

She looked up at the passenger seat, where the glass had shattered completely.

Sitting in it, "Gray Plains Wai" pushed the car door, stepped on the torn glass shards, and stood in front of her.

The assailant who stepped on shards of glass and tried to give her a fatal blow......

Everything turned out to be exactly the same as the murder she arranged on the ship, as if some kind of fate was confirmed.

"You ......" Belmode looked at the child with a calm expression and sank his face.

"My name is Conan Edogawa, and I'm a detective." The little boy with the headphones ripped off his disguise and showed a serious face.

On the other end of the headphones, Hattori Heiji also wiped off his disguise and lifted the mask that Yukiko Kaido had prepared for him, revealing his true face.

"It's a detective, but it's just this one." Hattori smiled confidently and put down the microphone that was connected to the ship's announcement.

The next words were only conveyed to Conan through the microphone in his hand.

"Kudo, it's settled here. You should speed up too. ”

"If you know about the Maori detective, you should know how powerful it is. Let's get in the car, and then go directly to the police station and explain it. After thanking Hattori Heiji for his help, Conan raised the watch with the dial open with a serious face.

"Edogawa Conan ......" repeats his self-proclaimed name, and Belmode looks at him with mixed emotions.

If it was just her and Kumel present, even if Kudo Shinichi's name was broken, it would not affect the overall situation.

However, there is still Calvados in the way in the communication.

While she intends to have Kumel finish off the guy tonight, God knows if the suspicious organization has planted some dark mines in Calvados, the man she is most likely to mobilize.

So, just by reciting the pseudonym, Belmode stopped talking and pursed his lips.

"Don't move, your current position is between us and the sniper, there's no way that guy can shoot." Conan pointed out her current situation and continued to ask, "Teacher Judy will also ask you to get in the car after getting in the car, do you know the way to the police station?" If you don't know me, I'll point it out to you, don't play tricks. ”

Looking down at the kid who was only waist-tall and pointed his watch at her seriously, Belmode couldn't help but smile even now that the situation was not good.

It's really funny and cute.

Since she is such a vicious and unscrupulous member of the organization, how can it be assumed that she only has Calvados as a foreign aid?

It's one thing for her to act on her own, so she can't call in other support, it's another thing for the detective to envision a crisis.

If it weren't for the second sniper, it would have been impossible to hurt him, and Cool Guy would have lost his life now.

After that, Kumel had to teach Cool Guy how to deal with dangerous moments more effectively, using a small tranquilizer gun, but it couldn't threaten them with gun-wielding gangsters.

Just as he was about to continue to say something threatening, another hurried footstep came from behind the container.

Small footsteps, small gasps, not like any trained personnel......

During the confrontation, Conan and Belmode looked distracted at the same time.

Gray Yuan, who was in a trench coat, pale and unusually determined, appeared from the other end of the container.

"Gray Plains, you! Quick, get out of here—"

Seeing Conan's equally unexpectedly shocked look, Belmode quickly crouched down, grabbed the watch on his wrist, and turned it over.

With a pinch of the button on the side disguised as a clockwork mechanism, the tiny anesthetic needle popped out and hit Conan himself.

Pulling out another pistol from the holster hidden in his calf, Belmode aimed at the sudden appearance of Gray Plains, while continuing to cover Conan who fell and Judy who was panting through his wounds.

She can't reveal any bias towards Cool Guy, but she can't let Calvados really hurt him, so it's better to continue to act as a cover for this humanoid.

"Let me see who's coming. Shirley, it's been a long time. ”

"Belmode." Looking at the muzzle of the black hole and the murderous face of Belmode behind him, Gray Yuan's lips trembled, but the step by step was very firm.

Relax, relax, and don't let Belmode find any flaws.

I have to believe in Tang Ze's ability, with him, he won't let anyone hurt me.

Relax......

Silently reciting in his heart, Gray Yuan Wai straightened out his breath and took out the excuse that had been prepared a long time ago: "Don't bother others." I know you've spotted me. Even if you are arrested, as long as I am alive, you will still be chased to the ends of the earth. ”

"Very self-aware, stupid girl." Looking at her heroic appearance, wanting to save others with her own sacrifice, Belmode's eyes narrowed.

"No way. The last remnants of Tang Ze and Miyano are in my hands, and you have already obtained so many things, it is impossible to let the last bit of the key go away. Gray Yuan, who had already memorized these lines well, answered without thinking.

She had to follow Tang Ze's assumptions, cover up Tang Ze's identity, and make the appearance that she had known about Tang Ze's death for a long time, but she didn't tell Conan and the others due to various conditions.

…… When you think about it, the accident seems like a choice you would make.

Gray Plains smiled self-deprecatingly.

Faced with her smile at this time, Belmode's side face twitched invisibly.

It's a familiar expression, and this familiar tone......

"You family, this disgusting look is exactly the same." Suppressing his emotions and not exposing himself to a more violent appearance, Belmode sneered, "If you want to hate, hate your parents for being a bunch of guys who took over stupid research." ”

With the expression on this young face, the terrible pain, the heart-rending howl, the sharp pain that pierced the nerves like the curse of countless sleepless nights, all welled up in her heart, and she could hardly control the anger and resentment that erupted.

No, I can't go on, right now, put an end to this guy's sinful life......

She raised her arms and adjusted her crosshairs, and just as she was about to fire, another louder gunshot rang out from above.

Belmode turned her head sharply, and saw the girl who was narrowly and dangerously brushed by the fire of the gun.

Adrenaline was rushing, and Maolilan, whose mind was in a mess, rolled over and jumped up from the trunk, and sprinted in the direction of Gray Plains Wai regardless of it.

What did this kid, this kid just say?!

No, those can be elaborated on later, she just knows that she can't continue to endure it.

Murder and killing were about to happen right in front of her eyes, and there was only one thought in her mind right now.

Save her, save Tang Ze's sister, or rather, save an innocent victim!

"What! No, Calvados! Wait a minute! ”

Seeing the slender back rushing up directly, holding the gray plain mourning tightly in his arms, Belmode only felt that his heart was about to jump out of his throat.

However, when she spoke to stop, another bullet grazed the feet of Maolilan, who had fallen to the ground, sending a spark on the steel plate.

"No, don't! Get out of the way, Angel! Belmode's angry roar of blood poured out.

No, it was too late, she couldn't have explained anything about them to Calvados, and in Calvados's eyes, a fragile girl, no different from the monotonous humanoid targets in the range.

Can't wait any longer!

"Kumail!"

Judy, who was crawling towards her pistol, made a movement, and Conan, whose eyelids trembled, couldn't help but shout along with her, trying to open her eyes.

Gray Plains, who was hugged by Maolilan, smelled the vanilla-scented softener on her body, and looked over her shoulder at the night sky where the bright moon hung high.

Tang Ze, who heard everything through the headphones, did not change his breathing rate in the slightest.

He peered through the scope at the man crouching on top of the container.

Tang Ze held the gun in his hand steadily, and suddenly recalled the scene a few months ago.

————

“…… Although you seem to have made a decision on your own, but Tang Ze, I want to confirm with you again. Do you understand what it means to stay? ”

The green eyes under the brim of Akai Shuichi's hat were like two clusters of dark green flames under the light, which seemed to penetrate Tang Ze's eyes, and they were directly facing the soul behind them.

"My aunt and uncle are dead, and before that, many more people have paid the price. This is not the time to be a casual hero. You can stand here and get a chance out of danger, the result of countless sacrifices and blood. ”

Shuichi Akai lowered his eyes and looked at the photo in his hand.

In the photo, Hoshikawa Hui's eyes are lifeless, and a pair of eyes that should be bright because of their color are like caves soaked in the night, and they can't reflect any light.

"Lightly give up a precious glimmer of life...... Tang Zezhao, if even you fail, everyone's efforts and struggles will be burned.

"Can you bear the weight of this weight? Do you really know what's next? ”

There was no sadness on his face, no nostalgia, that kind of calm was not indifference, but a kind of peace that was used to seeing life and death, had lost too much, and had gone too far.

A kind of Karasaw, a calmness that is extremely familiar.

Feeling this calm and the turbulent undercurrent behind it, Tang Ze did not show the slightest fear or hesitation as Akai Shuichi expected.

He laughed.

"I know, I know...... Brother Xiuyi. It is because I know that I cannot pass this hatred to others. ”

It was precisely because of this hatred, this hatred that carried too many heavy responsibilities and beliefs, that he made that choice in the first place.

He was physically disabled, but the anger that burned at that moment still echoed in his ears.

"No one understands their efforts better than I do, and no one wants an answer more than I do. So, I don't think anyone values the choice at this point more than I do. ”

Shuichi Akai stared at Tang Ze's face, feeling the same calm from it.

A calm before boiling, a calm before ignition, a dark calm before thunder is about to pierce the sky.

"I can do it, I can do it better than anyone else." Tang Ze stood there, his back straightened like a javelin stuck straight there, "Give me a chance, you won't be disappointed." ”

Akai Shuichi looked at his expression, and the corners of his straight mouth finally rose slightly.

yes, better than anyone else.

Therefore, despite the opposition of his family, he left home for many years and embarked on this road without looking back.

Should I say, is it really worthy of being a family member who is related by blood?

"Okay."

"I am you...... Thou shalt be my ......."

……

"I, the first birth of the emperor's mask was blessed with the wind of blessing"

"For the end game, more power......"

Tang Ze popped up in front of him the interface that he had seen many times.

【Cooperation Shuichi Akai】

【Arcana: Emperor Rank1】

[This is a job that you are familiar with, and this is a situation that you are familiar with.

Alone in the furious waves of revenge, ten years like a day, alone, alone......

At the moment of standing at the end of the line, did you feel a moment of hesitation and regret for the past? Did the life that was lost for this, the self that was sacrificed for it, be liberated at that moment?

Presumably, his answer is the same as yours, Fool. 】

【Acquired ability "Sniper Mastery"】

————

With his fingers on the trigger, Tang Ze held his breath.

The moment the huge recoil was transmitted backwards, his crosshair still did not tremble in the slightest.

"Bang-"

Looking through the scope and watching at that moment, Tang Ze's fingertips pressed on the switch of the microphone.

"The sniper has been killed. over。 ”
