A Detective: I Believe in Science

Chapter 153
Conan is not absolutely sure whether he can get out of the cave, and he doesn't know whether there is really a way to the outside world, but there is no other way right now, so he has to say this in order to encourage his little friends.

After the robbers ran to the entrance of the cave, they found that they still couldn't catch up with the children, and gradually felt that something was wrong. Could it be that these children are all long-distance runners?

"No, we didn't hear any footsteps after chasing it all the way. Those little ghosts are probably still inside."

The leader of the three still had some brains, and quickly realized what was going on, turned around and led the two back to the cave.

This time, the three returned to check more carefully, and they would step forward to check every corner or shadow, and soon came to the place where Conan and the others were hiding just now.

Seeing the blood stains left on the stone, several people sneered at each other. Since they knew that the little ghosts hadn't escaped from the cave, they had plenty of time to find them.

"go!"

The leader waved his hand and led his men to go deep. This time, these tails must be cleaned up.

Noah on the other side also slowly groped to the entrance of the cave. He saw a pile of shoe prints just stepped on at the entrance. Mixed with the shoe prints of several adults.

"Are there other people inside, or are these footprints not made by Conan and the others?"

Noah, who had been thinking for a long time and had no idea, decided to follow his intuition and went straight into the cave. Without a flashlight, he could only walk slowly with his excellent naked eyes.

At this time, Conan and the others have followed the river to the source of an underground river.

"How is it possible to go up, you can't climb up."

"No, since there is a river here, there must be an exit, otherwise these bats wouldn't stay here."

Conan laboriously explained that now he was starting to feel a little dizzy due to excessive blood loss.

"Look around, there should be an exit."

Hearing Conan's instructions, Yuantai and the others continued to inspect the surrounding terrain with their watch lights.

"Come and see, there is an egg here, and there seems to be a word engraved on it."

"Wandering in the dark, quickly embark on the road of Xianglong, so that the heavens will bless you with glory."

"These words are similar to the few words we saw at the entrance of the cave just now. What do they mean?"

Conan's mind began to spin wildly. He didn't believe that these designs, which were obviously thoughtful, could be graffiti left by others. There must be some special meaning in them.

"Walking down this road, I feel like these words are directing us to move forward."

Now Conan's words are an imperial decree to Yuantai and the others. Following the direction Conan pointed, they saw five diverging holes not far away.

"Conan, which one is the way out?"

Smiles finally appeared on the faces of Yuantai and the others, and they finally had the hope of going out, but before the smiles could be maintained, they saw that Conan had fainted on Yuantai's back, and they panicked.

"Wake up, Conan, I'm leaving soon."

"Hold on a little longer."

It's a pity that no matter how much he shouted, Conan closed his eyes and didn't respond to the few people at all.

"What should we do now? Do we have to figure out the way out by ourselves?"

"Can we do it?"

Just when several people fell into self-doubt, footsteps came from a distance again, and the robbers also came nearby.

In a panic, several children chose to get into the innermost cave, but they never thought that this was just a hole, and getting in would be a dead end.

When they wanted to get into another hole, the robbers arrived, and they had no choice but to give up their plan for the time being, and stood nervously in the hole, waiting for a good opportunity.

The robbers were not fools either. The leader asked one of them to stand at the entrance of the cave and watch closely. The two of them went in and checked one by one.

"What should we do now, that man has a gun in his hand, we have no chance to change the hole."

Yuantai and the others felt that their hearts were about to jump out of their nervousness. This situation of waiting to die was really uncomfortable.

Noah, who had been groping all the way, had already come to the egg, and he and Conan thought in completely different directions.

In his mind, this road to the auspicious dragon should be this dark river. As the saying goes, carp jump over the dragon's gate. Doesn't this correspond to the scene in front of him?

After taking off his clothes, Noah jumped into the dark river. Relying on his own strength, he wanted to climb up against the current, but he didn't expect that when he stretched his hand into the stone wall, he found nothing.

This made Noah a little confused. Could it be that he guessed it wrong? He stretched out his hands and fumbled behind the river, but it was still empty.

"Is there another mystery in this?"

After making up his mind, Noah closed his eyes and slowly put his head into the river. After crossing the river, he opened his eyes and found a scene that surprised him.

A big hole was dug out of the stone wall, but it was pitch-black inside, and the light from the undercurrent could not shine in at all. Noah could only grope inside by feeling, and finally found a wooden box.

Back on the shore, I weighed the box in my hand, and found that the weight was not light, and there was a slight bumping sound inside.

"This treasure map can't be real..."

Although there was a lock on the wooden box, it was no problem for Noah at all. He punched the wooden box hard, and then tried to pour out the contents of the wooden box.

As the items were taken out one by one, Noah's face was gradually occupied by a smile, it really was a treasure.

Most of the things inside are gems and some jewelry. It seems that the brilliance mentioned on the door and the egg should refer to these, not an exit.

Moreover, these jewelry obviously have some quaint atmosphere, and Noah guessed that they should be left by the ancestors long ago.

"It doesn't matter, anyway, what I see is mine, now I don't have to worry about money anymore."

Putting all the treasures back into the box again, Noah took out the wooden sword from his system backpack and put the box in. It is safest to keep this kind of thing in the system, so don't worry about it.

"I have money, I have money, I don't know how to spend it, I..."

Noah, who was in excitement, suddenly calmed down. With the sunlight penetrating from the dark orifice, he found a fresh bloodstain on the ground.

"Could it be..."

After thinking of some bad possibility, Noah got up and ran deep into the cave, hoping that he could catch up.

The robbers had already searched three holes, and when they were about to enter the fourth hole, they saw Noah running from behind.

"Stop, who are you?"

The three fellow robbers pointed their pistols at Noah, feeling a little puzzled in their hearts. Could it be that there were not only children in the cave just now?

"Have you ever seen a few children, I am their elder brother, and I got separated from them."

At this time, Noah wanted to confirm the safety of the children first, otherwise he would inevitably have scruples when he started to fight.

The children who were waiting to die hurriedly responded when they heard Noah's familiar voice.

"Brother Noah, we are here."

"These brats are quite courageous, and they are hiding right under our noses."

The leading robber motioned his companions to keep staring at Noah, turned around and walked inside, wanting to deal with these brats first.

But how could Noah give him a chance? Knowing that they were fine for the time being, he had already rushed forward with his sword in hand, ignoring the pistol as nothing.

The robbers rushed forward as if watching Noah die, and fired immediately. To their horror, their bullets seemed unable to harm the person in front of them, and the opponent's footsteps did not stop at all.

Noah didn't hold back. Although he didn't know who the other party was, if he dared to shoot someone with a gun at will, it showed that he was definitely not a good person.

He swung the sword three times in an instant, hitting the wrists of the three of them respectively, and immediately knocked the gun down to the ground. Before the robber could react, he slapped the sword on the face, and suddenly there were stars on his head, as if he was drunk, stumbling around of.

After putting away the wooden sword, he kicked at one of the three, only to hear three bang bang bang bang, the robber hit the stone wall and passed out.

"Come out, it's alright."

After Yuan Tai and the others heard the gunshot, they closed their eyes nervously. After Noah's voice sounded again, they ran out happily and came to Noah's side.

"What's wrong with Conan, his face is so pale."

Noah immediately noticed Conan behind Genta, it was too abnormal.

Then when he heard that Conan was shot, his face suddenly became serious. Before he had time to blame the children, Noah took Conan behind Yuantai, put it on his back, and ran outside quickly.
