【Conan】I just want to survive but I am forced to join the main plot

Compared to Kudo Shinichi, who has been running around all day and has not had a rest until now, but has plunged into a new investigation, Kuroba Kaito is much more relaxed.

After leaving the scorching hot Wimbledon tennis court, he returned to his temporary hotel quite leisurely, took a shower, changed into clean clothes, and slowly walked to the British Museum, which was temporarily closed to the public, to meet Wakaki Ryo.

On the way, I also bought some snacks and drinks to fill my stomach.

"I'm here, Professor. I brought you a burger."

Ruomu Liang took the informal dinner, took a bite slowly, and his expression froze slightly.

Kuroba Kaito lowered his eyes, with a hint of guilt and disappointment in his eyes.

I accidentally bought a horrible burger, so of course I had to share it with my friends. And I thought the professor would be upset by the horrible food.

"Professor, what's the plan for tonight?"

The little pigeon that had just played a prank turned its head and pretended to look at the empty exhibition hall seriously, trying to divert Ruomu Liang's attention.

After all, the script that Wakaki Ryo gave him only ended up delivering the front-court ticket to Wimbledon Stadium to Mao Lilan. As the protagonist of the night, he didn't even know what his lines were.

A ball of bright red flame emerged from Wakagi Ryo's palm, and he humanely destroyed the hamburger in his hand, which could not even be called food. His eyes stayed on the profile of Kuroba Kaito, trying to analyze whether the little pigeon was too bold, or whether English food really tasted like this.

"what happened?"

Kuroba Kaito, who was already feeling a little guilty, was almost driven mad by Wakagi Ryo's stare. Although he kept a poker face, his eyes were a little vague.

Ruomu Liang curled the corner of his mouth and said, "The case is solved. It was intentional."

"Don't worry, wait until our famous detective figures out the answer. After all, he will be the one to open the curtain tonight."

Kuroba Kaito reached out and tugged at Wakaki Ryo's tuxedo, and made a little gesture with his other hand.

"Just reveal a little bit in advance."

Who would be willing to follow the script step by step when you can enjoy the joy of spoilers?

Wakagi Ryo reached out and pulled his coat out of the little pigeon's hand, smoothing out the slight wrinkles on his tuxedo.

"You know that the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse originated from the Bible..."

Scotland Off-site

Kudo Shinichi stood under the street light, anxiously searching through the information "borrowed" from the bag of tool man John, brainstorming frantically.

Xiaolan ran to Kudo Shinichi out of breath and stopped. "Shinichi, I went to the hospital to ask. Although many people have been infected in the past two days, there are currently no deaths from this sudden infectious disease. The hospital's examination report also shows that the virus suspected to be urticaria is not fatal."

Kudo Shinichi fixed his eyes on the four photos of the Apocalypse Horsemen taken by John, muttering "No."

Xiaolan: "Shinichi, what's wrong?"

Kudo Shinichi held the photo in his hand in front of Xiaolan and said, "The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse represent plague, war, famine, and death. If the infectious disease currently breaking out in London can be classified as a plague, then how can the guy who imitated Professor Moriarty mentioned by Hades create scenes of famine and war in an international metropolis like London?

There must be something I've overlooked."

Xiaolan reached out her hand worriedly and touched Kudo Shinichi's cheek, trying to smooth out his frown.

"Could it be...could it be the source of water?"

Xiaolan suddenly thought of something and excitedly grabbed Kudo Shinichi's hand, "Do you remember that we found that the water of the Thames River turned red yesterday, and you called the doctor and asked him to take some water samples for testing when he was free."

“If, if that person is so cruel as to poison the water… After all, the Thames River supplies about 70% of the total water supply. If conflicts break out among people due to water shortages, maybe there will be war and famine?

but……"

Having said that, Xiaolan closed her mouth silently and rejected this possibility herself.

But the Thames is not some dead water that doesn't flow. The river is 338 kilometers long and has a drainage area of ​​1.14 square kilometers. Poisoning? Is it really possible?

Kudo Shinichi shook his head and subconsciously took out his cell phone to call Dr. Agasa.

"Doctor, have you done any tests on the river water?"

On the other end of the phone, Dr. Agasa's voice was slightly distorted.

"I didn't have time to do any tests, but I called a friend in London to ask about this matter. As soon as the river water turned red, they had already taken samples for research. The final conclusion was that there was no unusual toxic substance found in the river water.

It's like someone deliberately played a prank and simply dyed the river water a certain color."

Kudo Shinichi hung up the phone, and he seemed to be possessed, repeating the words river, red, and plague.

"I see!"

His distressed expression was gradually replaced by the excitement of solving the puzzle. He then grabbed Xiaolan's shoulders and began to explain the situation to Xiaolan, who still looked confused.

“The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse originate from the prophecy of the end of the world in the Book of Revelation in the Bible, and the core of the prophecy of the end of the world is the seven seals, seven trumpets, and seven bowls. The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse commonly seen in film and television works are the first four of the seven seals.

At the end of the prophecy of the end of the world, when the seventh bowl is poured out, it represents the arrival of the ultimate judgment. "

Seeing that Xiaolan's expression was still confused, Kudo Shinichi simply deleted all the religious content and continued his explanation.

"In summary, the order of the seven bowl plagues in the Bible is probably the spread of boils, the rivers and seas turning red, high temperatures and drought, world darkness, the coming of war, and finally the completion of the entire judgment process in earthquakes and hail."

"Of course, these are all scenes described in the Bible. I don't think humans can do them. However, it is not impossible to create similar scenes."

After Kudo Shinichi's rough summary, Xiaolan immediately understood, and then frowned and said: "Carbuncle... the infectious disease that suddenly broke out in London these two days is indeed somewhat similar to carbuncle.

We couldn't see the sea water, but the water of the Thames did turn red."

Kudo Shinichi nodded and continued solemnly: "The unusually high temperature in the stadium can also be matched."

Xiaolan: "Then the darkness will come..."

The two looked at each other, and almost at the same time, the entire power supply system in London suddenly collapsed, and darkness completely shrouded the city.

At the same time, in the museum, Wakagi Ryo explained the second half of the script to Kuroba Kaito, and then cut off London's power supply system at the right time.

The little pigeon looked out the dark window and couldn't help but let out a sigh.

Ruo Muliang said with a smile: "London, the capital of the United Kingdom, known as the Empire on which the sun never sets, has fallen into a pitch-black darkness.

Don’t you think it’s interesting, Kaito-kun?”
