Conan: I'm Really Not Tokyo Ghost Story

Chapter 271 270, Ship: Dangerous!
Although Kuroba Kaito has good sensitivity and enjoys the first-hand advantage played by Sano, he is not like Sano who can actually dodge bullets.

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

That's really hard for Kuroba to fight quickly.

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

Several times, Kuroba Kaito was almost shot by the killer who shot indiscriminately. It was Sano who extended a helping hand to help the opponent to avoid being shot, and sometimes even had to forcibly use his own body armor to block bullets for the opponent .

How the hell are you here to help? It's clearly a disservice...

Sano regretted forcing Kuroba Kaito to work. If he had done it by himself, it might have been easier.

However, in the eyes of outsiders, Sano and Kuroba Kaito's "cooperation" seems to be very tacit... After only two or three minutes, more than a dozen killers have been knocked down by the two, lost awareness.

It was only then that Conan and the others, who had been watching on the way, disappeared because of the risk of being hit by stray bullets, and popped up.

"Phantom Thief Kidd, this guy really is not dead, and there is... a black mask."

Looking at the two silhouettes standing among the dozens of "corpses" with contrasting colors, almost all the people present looked weird.

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

After all, Kaito Kuroba, the Kaito Kid, and Sano, the black mask, are enough to cause headaches.

The former is a thief that the police have been chasing, and should be in an antagonistic relationship with the police and other people on board. Although the latter is said to be a superhero, because of the reason of "doing good deeds without leaving a name", if you really want to pursue them, you can. It can be regarded as dancing on the edge of the law, so the relationship with the official...

It doesn't seem so good.

It's just not as obvious as the former.

Not to mention that there was a conflict between the two yesterday, so the two can also be regarded as antagonistic.

But in the face of the killer's attack, the two joined hands for a short time, so they can be regarded as teammates, and the purpose of the two is to deal with the group of gunmen, and they seem to be in the same camp as the people on the boat ...

Police Officer Mumu's headache grew more and more, he couldn't do it anymore, his brain became confused, and he couldn't figure it out at all. What should he do next?

In this weird atmosphere of silence, only Nakajima, the bewildered guy, was still pressing the shutter frantically... If it weren't for the fact that there were more than a dozen examples of gun-wielding killers who fell to the ground Sano even suspected that this guy might want to stick it directly on the faces of the two of them to take a photo.

"cough."

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

"Ok?"

Under the puzzled gazes of Kuroba Kaito and others, Sano's head turned slightly to the side.

…The group of killers has been solved now, so Pusi Qinglan's mission should at least be considered completed, but in fact it still hasn't been done.

The same goes for Kuroba Kaito's mission.

This also means that Sano may have confused the target of this group of killers, and the possibility that the other party actually wanted to kill Heiyu Kaito instead of Pusi Qinglan, the historian, did not exist.

... The reason why Sano guessed that this group of killers came after Pusi Qinglan was very simple.

In the eyes of the outside world, the identities of Kaitou Kidd and Shi Kaobing are mysteries. These two killers probably don't even know who their targets are and where they are.

So when they were still in Osaka, there was no movement between the two parties.

From this, Sano can suspect that the two groups of people have been watching the central point of the overall situation—the egg of memory in a dark place that cannot be found, waiting for the opportunity.

Sano had exposed Pusi Qinglan Shi Kaobing's identity before, so if the gang of killers who were eyeing her were on the sidelines, they should have taken action.

...Actually, Sano had originally wondered whether the two groups of killers would cooperate because their targets were likely to be on the same ship.

But this kind of conjecture is only one of the many possibilities that will arise because of the current limited information.

The only thing Sano can be 100% sure of is... the danger has not been lifted, and if the two groups of killers have not adopted a cooperative mode, then the killers who emerge next are likely to launch indiscriminate attacks.

That's why the danger to the lives of Kaito Kuroba and Qinglan Pusi was not erased.

A strong sense of crisis stimulates the cerebral cortex.

Intuition told Sano that the danger of the second wave of killers and the first wave of killers might be two completely different levels.

…The structure of the entrance and exit on the first deck of the Suzuki family ship is a hall behind the door.

A T shape is formed.

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

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

The most important thing is that in the hands of the people on both sides, they basically all hold firearms of the same level of firepower as submachine guns.

...This is not a killer, mercenaries are nothing more than that! ?
"hidden!"

Sano cursed secretly in his heart, before he had time to think about it, he took Kuroba Kaito's cloak and ran to the side.

At the same moment, gunshots erupted.

The double number of people and the improvement of 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 a timely manner, and no casualties occurred immediately.

The two groups at the corridor and the gate approached while shooting, causing Sano's group to flee in two waves in a panic.

The black masked replica of Sano... dragged Kaito Kuroba, police officer Megure who was escorting Pusi Qinglan, and Tsukezo Amuro Toru Nakajima, and ran wildly in the corridor on the right.

And Sano's body followed Conan and the others, evading pursuit in another corridor.

"Don't run away, there is 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 huddled in the only bunker at the moment—behind the corner at the end of this corridor, and fought back with the few small pistols that Police Officer Megure had.

...However, in the face of a huge disparity in firepower suppression, the extent of this counterattack is limited to sticking out the barrel of a gun from a corner and firing a few shots indiscriminately.

Fortunately, the gang didn't know why, and they didn't seem to have the intention of forcibly pursuing them. The gunfire continued for 2 minutes, and there was no sign of approaching.

Toru Amuro frowned and thought for a few seconds, then his face suddenly changed: "No, they are probably planning to blow up the ship directly and wipe out everyone on board!"

"Nani!?"

Upon hearing this, Police Officer Mu Mu was startled: "How do you know?"

Without waiting for Toru Amuro to answer, Sano took the first step and said: "Just now I seem to have indeed seen two of them carrying a big box in their hands. Although I can't be 100% sure, judging from the current situation, this may Sex is supreme."

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

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

Amuro glanced at Sano, nodded to make sure he thought the same.

...I didn't expect that this black mask, in addition to physical ability, even has such excellent mental ability, it's not easy.

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

Although Sano did see the big black box in the group at the beginning, who would have thought that it would be a bomb in the first place?
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 can get 00 reinforcement points when you complete it, and the remaining time of the mission—19:59:[-]].

... Facing this sudden development, Sano seemed to see a big red "dangerous" character appearing on the Suzuki family ship under his feet in a trance.

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

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

[Please ensure Mao Lilan's survival within the task time limit, you can get 00 reinforcement points when you complete the task, the remaining time of the task - 14:59:[-]].

[Please ensure Suzuki Sonoko's survival within the task time limit, you can get fifty reinforcement points when you complete the task, the remaining time of the task - 00:14:59].

[Please ensure Conan's survival within the mission time limit, you can get 00 enhancement points when you complete the mission, the remaining time of the mission - 14:59:[-]].

[Please ensure Hui Yuan Ai's survival within the mission time limit, you can get fifty enhancement points after completing the mission...

All the people who followed Conan to another corridor just now triggered the rescue mission at Sano.

... Except for the three-person group of real children, who were packaged at a discounted price of [-] from the total price, the rest of them were basically [-] points.

Hiss... this is a bit troublesome.

That kid Conan is too fucking sick, it's fine if he dies, but he even dragged him to die together.

Sano frowned slightly, and what made him a little strange was why these rescue missions included the mission to prevent the ship from being bombed.

Triggered so late?
...Could it be that these people were not in danger in the first place, but some singularity changed later, causing them to face death, and this was triggered temporarily?
Wait a minute, according to my original speculation, this group of killers probably appeared because of Kuroba Kaito, or Kaito Kidd, the phantom thief.

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

Isn't that... my fault? ?
...And if you follow this line of thought, unlike Pusi Qinglan, who needs to be found out, Shi Kaobing, Kuroba Kaito actually doesn't need to show his face at all.

And if this guy keeps not showing his face, will this group of people still show up?

Ok? ? ?
How come the more you think about it, the bigger the pot becomes?
No no no.

Since the mission has stated that Kaito Kuroba must survive, even if Sano does nothing to prevent this guy from showing his face, he should be killed.

That's right, Sano can't take the blame for this!
If we follow this line of thought, Kaito Kuroba only boarded the ship after the death of Ryu Samukawa, excluding Sano's personal influence.

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

Subconsciously thinking wildly, Sano shook his head... Stop thinking about these questions that may not have answers.

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

Police Officer Mu Mu felt like he was going crazy. He was just an ordinary little policeman. He thought that this time he came here to solve an ordinary murder case. He didn’t expect that the internationally wanted criminal Shi Kaobing would be involved later. .

That's okay, but killers appeared later, and even a group of people called killers were actually more dangerous than mercenaries.

As for it, as for it! ?

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

"So it's definitely not okay to sit and wait."

Toru Amuro patted Officer Mumu on the shoulder, then first uncuffed Pusi Qinglan, and then took the pistol that was originally Pusi Qinglan from Officer Mumu, checked the magazine and loaded it: "Let's fight one last time."

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