Conan: I'm Really Not Tokyo Ghost Story

Chapter 271 270, Ship: Danger!

Although Kuroba Kaito has good sensitivity and enjoys Sano's first-mover advantage, he is not as able to actually dodge bullets as Sano.

If it is in a complex environment, through kite flying and sneak attack and roaming tactics, Kuroba Kaito may show good combat effectiveness, but in an open environment, a close head-to-head duel...

That was really a bit difficult for Kuroha Kaito.

Especially since the distance between the two sides is still so close, the firepower level of the killer gang is not weak.

Several times, Kuroba Kaito was almost hit by killers who fired randomly, but it was Sano who reached out to help him to avoid being shot. Sometimes he even had to forcefully use his body armor to block the opponent's bullets.

.

Why are you here to help? It's obviously a disservice...

Sano regretted forcing Kuroba Kaito to do the work. It might have been easier if he had done it alone.

However, in the eyes of outsiders, the "cooperation" between Sano and Kuroba Kaito seemed to be a very tacit understanding... After only two or three minutes, more than a dozen killers were knocked to the ground by the two, losing their

Awareness.

It was only then that Conan and the others, who had been watching, arrived midway and emerged because the risk of being hit by stray bullets disappeared.

"Kaitou Kidd, this guy is indeed alive and well, and there is... Black Mask."

Looking at the two figures with contrasting colors standing among more than a dozen "corpses", almost everyone present looked strange.

...Because the current situation is so complicated that it is even inexplicably embarrassing.

After all, just having Kaito Kuroba as Kaitou Kidd and Sano as Black Mask is enough to give people a headache.

The former is a thief that the police have been chasing, and he should be in an antagonistic relationship with the police and other people on the boat. Although the latter is said to be a superhero, because he "does good deeds without leaving his name", if he really wants to be investigated, he can

It's like dancing on the edge of the law, so the relationship with the official...

It doesn't seem to be that good.

It's just not as obvious as the former.

Not to mention that a conflict broke out between the two yesterday, so the two can be regarded as antagonistic.

But in the face of the killer's attack, the two of them joined forces briefly, so they can be regarded as teammates. Moreover, their purpose is to deal with the group of gunmen, and they seem to be in the same camp as the people on the boat.

…

The more Officer Mu Mu thought about it, the more he got a headache. His mind started to get confused, and he couldn't figure it out at all. How should he react next?

In this strange atmosphere of silence, only the stunned guy Sukezo Nakajima was still clicking the shutter frantically... If there hadn't been more than a dozen examples of gun-wielding killers who fell to the ground before,

, Sano even suspected that this guy might be eager to stick it directly on their faces to take pictures.

"cough."

In the end, it was Kuroba Kaito who planned to take the initiative to break the atmosphere, but as soon as he finished coughing, Sano suddenly raised his hand to signal the other party to be silent.

"Um?"

Under the puzzled looks of Kuroba Kaito and others, Sano's head turned slightly to both sides.

...At present, a group of killers have been eliminated. Logically speaking, Pu Siqinglan's mission should at least be completed, but in fact, it still has not been completed.

The same goes for Kuroba Kaito's mission.

This also means that it is possible that Sano confused the target of this group of killers, and there is no possibility that the other party actually wanted to kill Kuroba Kaito instead of the Shikaobing Ura Shi Qinglan.

...The reason why Sano guessed that this group of killers came for Pu Siqinglan is very simple.

In the eyes of the outside world, the identities of Kaito Kidd and Shi Kaobing are both mysteries. It is very likely that these two groups of killers have no idea who their targets are and where they are.

So when we were still in Osaka, there was no movement from the two parties.

From this, Sano can suspect that these two groups have been watching the central point of the whole situation - the Egg of Memory - from an undiscoverable dark place, waiting for the opportunity.

Sano had previously exposed the identity of Pu Si Qinglan Shi Kaobing, so if the group of killers who were targeting her were waiting and watching, they would naturally take action.

...In fact, Sano had originally wondered whether the two groups of killers might cooperate because their targets were most likely on the same ship.

But this conjecture is just one of the many possibilities that arise due to the limited current information.

The only thing Sano can be 100% sure about now is that...the danger has not been eliminated, and if the two groups of killers do not adopt a cooperative mode, then the killers who emerge next will most likely launch an indiscriminate attack.

That's why the danger to the lives of Kuroba Kaito and Urashi Seoran has not been eliminated.

A strong sense of crisis stimulates the cerebral cortex.

Sano's intuition tells him that the danger of the second wave of killers may be completely different from that of the first wave of killers.

...The entrance and exit structure on the first deck of the Suzuki family ship is a hall behind the door. At the end of the hall, there are corridors in front and on the left and right.

It forms a T shape.

Suddenly, Sano's eyes turned to the middle of the three corridors in the hall, which was the corridor where Conan and his party came. A group of people just walked out of the corner, and their number was no less than the number of unconscious killer gangs in the hall.

.

At the same time, a group of similar numbers of people also walked in at the main entrance of the hall.

The most critical thing is that the people on both sides basically hold firearms with the same level of firepower as submachine guns.

...How the hell is this a killer? This is nothing more than a mercenary, right?

"hidden!"

Zuo Ye cursed inwardly, and before he had time to think about it, he grabbed Kuroba Kaito's cloak and ran away.

At the same moment, gunfire broke out.

The doubled number of people and the increase in the level of firearms and weapons made this wave of firepower several times stronger than the previous wave.

Fortunately, with Sano's reminder, everyone dispersed in time, and no casualties occurred immediately.

The two groups of people in the corridor and the gate were shooting and approaching, causing Sano's group to be divided into two waves and flee in panic.

Sano...'s black masked clone pulled Kuroba Kaito, and Police Officer Megure and Amuro Torujima Sukezo who were escorting Urashi Seiran, and ran wildly down the corridor on the right.

Sano's real body was following Conan and others, escaping from pursuit in another corridor.

"Stop running, there's a dead end ahead!"

As a temporary worker on the ship, Toru Amuro had already figured out the structure of the ship and reminded him aloud.

So the group of people huddled behind the corner at the end of the corridor, the only bunker at present, and fought back with the few small pistols that Officer Memu had.

...However, faced with a huge gap in fire suppression, the extent of this counterattack was limited to sticking out a gun barrel from the corner and firing a few random shots.

Fortunately, the group didn't seem to have any intention of pursuing them for some unknown reason. The gunshots continued for two minutes, and there was no sign of approaching.

After Toru Amuro frowned and thought for a few seconds, his expression suddenly changed: "No, they are probably planning to blow up the ship and kill everyone on board!"

"Nani!?"

Upon hearing this, Officer Memu was immediately shocked: "How do you know?"

Before Toru Amuro could answer, Sano spoke first: "Just now I seemed to have indeed seen two of them carrying a large box. Although I am not 100% sure, judging from the current situation, this

The possibility is the highest."

"The most direct combat power gap also requires the most direct environment to display. The complex environment inside the ship is actually not conducive to the opponent's display of tactics."

"They probably also know that our place is a dead end, so they only need to block us here and prevent us from intervening, and then install the bomb, and this battle can be solved with minimal risk."

Toru Amuro glanced at Sano and nodded to confirm that he had the same idea.

...I didn't expect that this Black Mask, in addition to physical abilities, also has such excellent mental abilities. It's not simple.

However, what Toru Amuro, who was feeling emotional in his heart, didn't know was that the above was actually Sano's hindsight.

Although Sano did see the big black box among the group of people at the beginning, who could immediately think that it was a bomb?

The reason why Sano was so sure was because just now, he suddenly had a new mission.

[Please ensure that the Suzuki family ship will not be blown up. You will receive 100 strengthening points upon completion. The remaining time of the mission is - 00:19:59].

... Faced with this sudden development, Sano seemed to see a big red word "danger" floating on the Suzuki family ship under his feet in a trance.

The rewards are a bit small, but the time seems to be quite ample.

Sano, who was originally planning to think about how to solve the current situation, received a series of prompts in the next second.

[Please ensure that Mao Lilan survives within the mission time limit. You will receive fifty strengthening points upon completion. The remaining time of the mission is - 00:14:59].

[Please ensure that Suzuki Sonoko survives within the mission time limit. You will receive fifty strengthening points upon completion. The remaining time of the mission is - 00:14:59].

[Please ensure that Conan survives within the mission time limit. You will receive fifty strengthening points upon completion. The remaining time of the mission is - 00:14:59].

[Please ensure that Haihara Ai survives within the mission time limit. You will receive fifty strengthening points upon completion...

The people who just followed Conan to another corridor all triggered the rescue mission here in Sano.

...Except for the trio of real children, who were packaged at a discounted price of 100 points, the rest were basically at 50 points.

Hiss...this is a bit troublesome.

That boy Conan is so damn bad. He doesn't care if he dies, but drags someone who ran with him to die together.

Sano frowned slightly, what made him more curious was why these rescue missions, including the one to prevent the ship from being bombed.

Triggered so late?

... Could it be that these people were not actually in danger originally, but some special point changed later, causing them to face death, and this was temporarily triggered?

Wait a minute, according to my original speculation, this group of killers probably showed up because Kuroba Kaito or Kaito Kidd showed his face.

Then this group of people probably chose to blow up the ship because the first wave of killers were exploring the way, which made them feel that it was too difficult to directly kill Kuroba Kaito.

Then...isn't it my own fault?

...And if you follow this line of thinking, unlike Pu Siqinglan, who needs to be found out, there is actually no need for Kuroba Kaito to show his face.

And if this guy never shows his face, will these people still show up?

Um???

Why the hell does the pot get bigger the more I think about it?

No, no.

Since the mission has stated that it is to ensure the survival of Kuroba Kaito, then even if Sano does nothing and does not let this guy show his face, he will probably be killed.

That's right, Sano can't be blamed for this!

If we follow this line of thinking, Kuroba Kaito only boarded the ship after Samkawa Ryu's death, excluding Sano's personal influence.

There is only one reason why Kuroba Kaito will die without showing his face, and that is that it is inevitable to blow up the ship... This is pushed back again.

Sano shook his head as he subconsciously thought about it... no longer thinking about these questions that may have no answers.

"...What should we do now? We are completely trapped here and can't get out at all. Even if we ask for help from the hall, it won't be able to arrive so quickly."

Officer Memu felt like he was going crazy. He was just an ordinary little policeman. He originally thought that he would just solve an ordinary murder case when he came here, but he didn't expect that the internationally wanted criminal Shi Kaobing would be involved.

.

Forget it, killers appeared later, even a group of people named killers who were actually more dangerous than mercenaries.

As for it, as for it!?

"The ship will be blown up before support arrives!"

"So just sitting there and waiting for death is definitely not an option."

Toru Amuro patted Officer Megure on the shoulder, and then first unlocked the handcuffs of Pu Siqinglan. Then he took the pistol that originally belonged to Pu Siqinglan from Officer Megure, checked the magazine and loaded it:

"Let's give it a final try."

...Toru Amuro is not joking. In his opinion, even in the current situation, they do not have no hope of successfully counterattacking.
