The Split-Actress in Conan's World

boom! !

The unique crisp explosion of the USP was heard, and everyone was stunned when they heard the gunshot.

Conan felt a chill down his spine.

However, what followed was not the sound of Uncle Maori's head being pierced.

But it was a shrill scream.

"what!!!"

Kujirai Sadao covered his hand and fell to his knees in pain.

There was a bloody hole in the palm of his hand.

His pistol was knocked far to the ground.

Rinshakuha subconsciously dodged the moment the gunshot was heard and distanced himself from Kujirai Sadao.

He looked in the direction of the sound and saw Mr. Adam, who looked elegant and easy-going, at the end of the corridor, holding a pistol with a faint smoke in his hand and a calm expression.

"I'm sorry, I don't know what happened, but the man looked dangerous with a gun, so I took the initiative to shoot."

He put the pistol back into his pocket, then took out a thin booklet and showed it to the terrified crowd.

"Don't get me wrong, I have a gun license."

"After all, after retiring from the battlefield, it would be very insecure if you didn't carry a gun with you."

He smiled innocently.

Samezaki Shimaharu reacted the fastest. He controlled Kujirai Sadao, who was rolling on the ground with his hands folded, tied him up with a belt, and then picked up the gun that fell to the ground.

It seemed that the noise of the shooting was too loud, and Kogoro Mouri opened his eyes dazedly. He looked at the current situation bewilderedly, looking very confused.

“Damn it… Damn it!”

Kujirai Sadao held his bloody hand while crying and laughing, staring fiercely at Uncle Mori who had just woken up.

"If it weren't for you, my perfect plan would never have been exposed!"

"Do not be silly!"

Conan shouted angrily, walked up to him, looked down at him, and said sternly: "Your so-called perfect plan is full of holes!"

"What do you know, little brat? I still have an absolute trump card that I haven't played yet!" Kujirai Sadao was still shouting.

"Mr. Adam, right?" Conan sneered, "You came up with a new plan after hearing Mr. Adam's identity."

"If Mr. Kanie's identity is exposed, you will try to make us suspect that Mr. Adam is Ye Sancai, right? Because he was once a retired mercenary, so he will have gunshot wounds on his body."

Adam nodded thoughtfully and pulled a letter out of his pocket: "So that's how it is."

"No wonder this thing got stuffed into my room."

He opened the letter and it said "Come to the deck after midnight for a special surprise - Dai Furukawa".

"Stop talking after the fact!" Kujirai Sadao snorted disdainfully.

Conan looked at him mockingly: "There is no need for hindsight. You don't know the relationship between Miss Isogai and Ye Sancai at all, so this trick will not succeed anyway."

"Besides, since you attacked Hattori, he must have discovered something. When that happens, he will be a witness, and no matter how you argue, it will be useless."

Kujirai Sadao endured the pain and laughed loudly after hearing this: "Stop dreaming, that little detective can no longer testify. I shot him in the lungs with a pistol and he fell into the deep sea at night. There is no way he could survive!"

Conan's face turned pale.

He didn't know that while serving the tribe, he was also shot.

Just then, Lin Chiyu's cell phone suddenly rang.

Conan stopped arguing with Kujirai Sadao and immediately turned around to look at him with a nervous expression.

"It's a call from the rescue team." Lin Chiyu looked at the number and answered the call.

Now even Uncle Maori, who had just woken up, looked over with a serious expression.

"I'm Rin Shakuha."

"..."

"What did you say?"

He was suddenly startled.

......

Hattori Heiji felt the temperature in his body gradually draining away, and his blood seemed to stop flowing.

Are you dying soon?

The soft purple light gradually approached him, and soon expanded from a small point of light into a soft circle of light.

He could even feel the iron-like sea water flowing quickly around him.

It was as if some huge monster was approaching him.

He soon realized that it was no illusion.

The purple color was getting closer and closer, almost within reach.

He finally recognized—

It was a huge eye.

An eye that belongs to a whale.

A strange sense of dislocation suddenly emerged in his heart.

Reason briefly returned to his mind.

They set out from Tiwujin Port and entered the Sea of ​​Japan, and it was in waters near land. How could there be creatures like whales?

Before he had time to think, the huge whale was almost in front of him.

The tide created by its movement carried Hattori Heiji away not far away.

As if observing this strange creature, the giant whale's eyes opened and closed slightly, and it circled around Hattori Heiji.

hum-

It made a cry that I couldn't tell whether to call low or sharp. That ethereal sound seemed to be able to touch the soul and wash away all the haze.

It seemed that thanks to it, Hattori Heiji became a little more conscious.

Only then did he notice that the purple light did not come from the giant whale's eyes.

It was just reflected from that huge eye.

He suddenly realized something, and his body slowly turned half a circle along the whirlpool of the giant whale, his eyes looking towards the distant seabed.

It wasn't his illusion...

In this lightless abyss of the sea, there actually is a glowing violet blooming!

As if sensing the shock in his heart, the giant whale roared happily again, and gently nudged Hattori with its big head, causing him to slowly drift towards the bottom of the sea.

The closer they got to the bottom of the sea, the more energetic Hattori Heiji became, and even the feeling of oppression at the bottom of the sea was reduced a lot.

He even felt that the sea water was no longer rushing into his nasal cavity crazily, and the pain in his lungs was relieved a lot.

No, that's the truth!

He tentatively moved his nostrils and found that he was actually breathing naturally!

Under the sea?!

His worldview was greatly shaken.

So he swam towards the violet more actively, trying to understand this unscientific scene.

When he swam very close to the seabed, the wounds on his body had almost no pain, and even the wounds caused by bullets had healed, leaving only the bloody holes on his clothes.

what is this?

so amazing!

He became more and more excited. As a detective, his thirst for mystery and the unknown was infinite.

He landed gently on the seafloor, stirring up a layer of sand and muddying the water that was lit by the faint light.

He was quiet, waiting patiently for the sand to settle again.

His vision cleared again, and he could finally see the violet clearly.

Its petals are soft and thick, and each one is like a carefully carved purple gem. Whenever the sea water sways gently, its light will dance with it, like a dancing elf in the sea.

This violet is not rooted in unstable sand, nor does it coexist with seaweed and vines. It just stands alone on an old bronze coffin, looking so lonely and proud.

The bronze coffin was equally lonely, lying at an unknown depth on the seabed, accompanied by an incredibly large whale.

Hattori Heiji looked up and could not see any other living creatures except it in the sea illuminated by the faint light.

Perhaps it has been standing here for decades, or hundreds of years, or even thousands of years?

Hattori Heiji didn't know.

But the only thing that is certain is that it must be very old.

However, even though it was such a bronze coffin, not a single grain of sand or stone fell on it.

not a single weed was entangled about it.

The only thing there was a magical violet.

He couldn't help but stretch out his hand, wanting to touch the mysterious bronze coffin, but the giant whale hovering above his head let out an unpleasant cry, as if trying to stop him.

Hattori Heiji stopped and looked at the clever giant whale curiously.

He tried to open his mouth, but only a string of bubbles came out.

Can you breathe, but can't speak?

Some regrets.

The giant whale gently shook its tail, which was as big as a football field, and floated in mid-air. It looked at Hattori Heiji with its extremely spiritual eyes, and there was a hint of human compassion in its gaze.

When it made the ethereal cry again, it had an exact meaning in the ears of Hattori Heiji.

"Fragile child of nature, please do not disturb Lilith's slumber."

Hattori Heiji widened his eyes and blew out a string of bubbles violently from his mouth.

Can you talk? ! !

He looked at the giant whale in amazement and felt that he might have learned some false knowledge in the past 18 years.

At least no science book would say: "Whales, mammals, can speak human language."

"Language is not unique to you, the children of nature. Most creatures have their own language."

"This is where Lilith sleeps. She unconsciously exerts influence on the surroundings. I have lived here for nearly three hundred years, so I have acquired some insignificant abilities."

The giant whale's tone of voice was totally inconsistent with its huge size; it was gentle and soothing, making Hattori Heiji feel like he was talking to his mother, Hattori Shizuka.

Hattori Heiji was very surprised.

The lifespan of most whale species is between 50 and 200 years, and only a few right whales can live to an astonishing years.

This giant whale has lived here for nearly three hundred years? !

Hattori Heiji was so excited that he blew out another string of bubbles.

"Don't be surprised. This is just a little favor from the merciful Lilith to a loyal gravekeeper like me. It's just like the changes that have taken place in you."

It refers to Hattori Heiji's healed wounds and the miracle of being able to breathe under the sea.

Seeing that Hattori Heiji was about to spit bubbles again, it said again: "You don't have to speak, just say what you think in your heart, I can hear your heart."

Hattori Heiji was shocked again, and tried to think in his mind: "Why do you call me the Son of Nature?"

"Because you humans are the most beloved creatures by nature."

Hearing this answer, Hattori Heiji was stunned, but couldn't say anything to refute.

"The Lilith you just mentioned, is she a god?" he asked again.

The giant whale shook its head, causing an undercurrent.

"I don't know."

Hattori Heiji looked down at his healed wound, then looked at the giant whale in front of him that was almost big enough to become a legendary monster.

Being able to do this kind of thing, isn't it no different from the mythical Amaterasu?

He sadly observed a second of silence for himself and many of his fellow human beings.

Fellow countrymen, our science seems to have missed a very important branch!

Biology needs to open up another mythological realm!

He composed himself and decided to make sense of this surreal situation.

Although he is a traditional detective, he is very firm in materialism.

Since the established reality that has already occurred cannot be denied, we must understand its principles and improve the existing scientific system.

True science is to make real phenomena have a logical basis.

"The Lilith you're talking about is inside this coffin?"

The giant whale hummed to indicate that it was correct.

Hattori Heiji pondered for a while.

Since he is not allowed to open the coffin...

He pointed to the violet and asked the whale, "Can I take this away?"

"No." The giant whale refused flatly.

"Okay." Hattori Heiji felt quite sorry.

If we could take this magical violet away for research, we would definitely make a great discovery that might benefit all of humanity.

He thought about it, and then asked the giant whale expectantly: "Then can you come with me?"

"I will stay here to ensure that Lilith's slumber is not disturbed."

As expected, it was rejected.

Hattori Heiji had to completely give up the idea of ​​taking anything away from here, and briefly put aside the cause of all mankind. He asked out of curiosity: "You said Lilith is sleeping here, but this is obviously a coffin. Is that Lilith dead?"

He thought there would be a definite answer, but the giant whale was silent for a moment and then shook his head: "I don't know."

It seemed to be recalling something: "More than three hundred years ago, I was just a newborn cub."

"The tribe was attacked by natural enemies. I lost track of the group in the chaos and wandered alone in this sea area."

"Living under the threat of natural enemies and hunger all day long, I am almost dying."

"That's when Lilith showed up."

"She taught me how to hunt and how to avoid predators, and then she left."

"I will grow up little by little like this, until one day I am bigger than the greatest elder in my tribe, until there is no creature in this sea that can threaten me."

"After who knows how many years, Lilith came here again, carrying this ancient bronze coffin, and she looked very tired."

"She told me that she wanted to sleep here and asked me if I was willing to guard her grave. In return, she would fulfill one of my wishes after waking up."

"I don't know if I need such a wish, but I just feel that I should do something for her, so three hundred years have passed in a flash."

It raised its head and looked towards the distant coast. “Over the past three hundred years, the Sons of Nature on the shore have lived generation after generation. Sometimes, some curious humans would come down to take a look, but they would soon be scared away by me.”

"Your small wooden boats have also changed very quickly. At first, they were the kind of wooden planks that I could easily overturn with just a turn of my body. Later, they became huge monsters like this. Even if I wanted to drive them away, I would be unable to do so."

"Sometimes I wonder if Lilith will never wake up again."

"But after a few years, this kind of thinking will no longer matter."

It blinked, looked at the empty sea, and said with emotion: "After all, I am almost used to this kind of loneliness of waiting."
