Ran Mouri was smiling gently, and there was a sharp blade in her hand. She picked it up at the crime scene of a previous case. Inspector Megure noticed this, but he said nothing and just sighed.
Then, Ran Mao Li swung her sword at Conan who was talking to himself with a smile!
Perhaps because she had seen too many deaths, Mao Lilan's knife was clean, cruel and sharp, and she easily cut Conan's throat!
Blood splattered out!
But Conan still stood there, and said in confusion:
"Sister Xiaolan, why are you touching my neck all of a sudden? Is there something dirty on my neck?"
"Well, there's some dirt on you, Conan, don't move, let Xiaolan wipe it off for you..."
With a gentle smile, the sharp blade stabbed into Conan's chest, hitting his heart!
"Thank you for your concern, Sister Xiaolan!"
Blood was gushing out, but Conan was still smiling, as if he knew nothing. The next moment, a scream was heard, and the case appeared again. Conan did not hesitate, and jumped towards the crime scene with the sharp blade stuck in his chest.
Ai Huihara, who was lying on the back of Ran Maori, had already closed her eyes, ready to escape everything by sleeping. She murmured in a sleepwalking tone:
"It's useless. All of this is useless. I've tried it. I've tried everything. Sister Xiaolan, I'm tired. I'm really tired. I'm so tired that I feel like... dying!"
Mao Lilan gently touched Huiyuan Ai's head and smiled: "Xiao Ai, you should have a good rest first. Don't worry, I promise you that everything will be fine."
Before falling asleep, Huiyuan Ai said one last sentence in a sleepwalking tone:
"Sister Xiaolan, I have an unverified idea recently. Maybe we have already gone crazy. What we see and feel is the crazy side of this world. In this world, the only "normal person" who can see the normal side of the world is Conan. We and Conan are in different worlds. Maybe the solution to everything is hidden here. However, I am tired and don't want to think about what to do..."
Mao Lilan smiled and said: "Is Conan so lonely? It's not good for a child to be unsociable. I will go and talk to him!"
Then, she gently placed Haibara Ai, who was escaping everything by sleeping, on a bench by the roadside. Then, this time she did not stand outside the crime scene, but walked towards the crime scene, or to be more precise, walked towards Conan!
The smile was as gentle as ever, but the murderous intent in his eyes became more twisted and crazy!
Mo Yu watched the history that had played out in the first act, and finally sighed slightly.
Watching the scenery of the whole week so intuitively, the gains are naturally huge.
For example, Mo Yu had never thought that in the eternal reincarnation in the first round, Conan had always been "normal". Of course, it is hard to say whether this so-called "normal" is abnormal or not, and it is the other characters who first noticed the abnormality and went crazy.
This is completely different from the situation in the second round. In the second round, Conan was the first to notice something was wrong. Not surprisingly, he was the first to go crazy, but the other characters were fine.
This difference may be due to some adjustments made to the world during the transition between the first and second rounds. Of course, it is also possible that someone in the first round did something that was enough to affect the second round, thus changing this.
Although Mo Yu knew a lot of things, he still reached out and pushed aside this illusory timeline, jumping as far down as possible to find the "ending" that existed at the end of the world and time.
151. Betting Everything: Countdown to Heaven
This fantasy is an information world created by Mo Yu with the authority of God. It is truly effective and works as you wish when you operate it.
Although the timeline began to fast forward, Mo Yu could still clearly see some "special historical events" that occurred in this fantasy bubble.
Taking the incident of Mouri Ran falling into madness as the node, after a large number of meaningless daily cases, the second incident was that Dr. Agasa came out of the basement with his carefully developed Kudo Shinichi assassination device No. 10086, which was a bomb with a very objective equivalent.
Afterwards, Dr. Agasa put the assassination plan into practice without hesitation, even at the cost of completely razing Beika Town. Afterwards, small mushroom clouds bloomed everywhere in Beika Town.
With half of Beika Town reduced to ruins, Conan, who appeared as an abstract human silhouette surrounded by darkness, walked to Dr. Agasa unscathed:
"Hey, Dr. Agasa, the fireworks you made this time are very beautiful. Is this the latest prop you invented?"
Dr. Agasa grabbed Conan by the collar and roared hysterically, "That's not a gadget, but an antimatter-like bomb based on a breakthrough in basic physics. Look at it clearly. A charge as big as a fingernail is enough to blow up three blocks. You see my technical level. That's a super invention that's good enough to win the Nobel Peace Prize. Forget it. I've already blown up half of Beika Town. I'm a criminal now. According to the rules of the game you set, you can kill me now, Kudo Shinichi!"
Conan was grabbed by the collar by Professor Agasa, but he just smiled:
"Dr. Agasa, this fireworks show was a success. If Beika Town wants to hold a fireworks show in the future, they will definitely come to you. You have to believe in yourself. Your invention of small props will definitely be a great success in the future."
The nonsensical dialogue reveals the despair beneath the madness!
And the fact is just as Conan said!
The citizens of Beika Town who were killed by Dr. Agasa's explosion crawled up from the ground, picked up the scattered limbs and installed them on themselves. The collapsed buildings were strangely restored.
The super bomb that flattened half of Beika Town was truly like a "fireworks show", leaving no traces or results.
A crime punishable by death?
It's just a fireworks show, why make such a big deal about it?
Seeing all this, Dr. Agasa loosened his grip on Conan's collar and slowly began to laugh, a hysterical laugh.
"I am crazy to be inventing science in this crazy world. I should have realized long ago that science has been completely dead since the day Kudo Shinichi returned as Conan, the nameless monster..."
The second special event of the first week is the [Yika Town Explosion Case] that Dr. Agasa failed to implement and... Dr. Agasa's madness.
After that, the crazy Dr. Agasa returned to the basement, locked the door completely, and never came out again.
Dr. Agasa, who realized that science was dead, continued to struggle in despair in the basement. There is no point in exploring what he did.
After another long time, the third special event of the first week was related to Kogoro Mouri. After drinking for who knows how long and betting on countless horse races, he was finally awakened by the endless phone calls all night. After he answered the phone, he was silent for a long time, then he washed up, changed his clothes, and finally walked out of the Mouri office after a long absence, and then met his wife Eri Kisaki.
As the ice queen of the legal world who has never lost a lawsuit, Hibiki Eri is on the verge of collapse!
"Wulang, I don't know what's wrong with me. I've been working hard, but the workload keeps increasing. There are still more than 800,000 files and cases waiting for me to fight. I can't remember how long it has been since I last saw you and Xiaolan. I'm so tired. What's going on..."
This confused detective, who was usually confused but could sometimes regain his intelligence, looked deeply at his ex-wife, as if he wanted to completely imprint her in his heart, and then gently comforted his ex-wife:
"It's okay, Miles, everything will be over soon, I promise..."
That night, Kogoro Mori did not return to the office, but stayed out all night and no one knew where he went!
When Maori Ran saw Maori Kogoro again, she saw that her father had become more decadent than ever before, as if this night was an extremely long journey for him. However, on his decadent face, there were a pair of eyes that seemed to be burning:
"Xiaolan, I'm sorry that you have to bear all of this, but there are some things I must tell you. This world is an endless cat-and-mouse game between detectives and criminals. The guy who must not be named follows the rules of the game and takes the position of the detective in this game. So for us, there is only one choice left, Xiaolan. I am not a competent father. Whether I succeed or fail in the future, the only thing I can leave you is this experience..."
At the same time, standing outside Beihua Town, Gin, wearing a black windbreaker, leaned against the Porsche sports car and heard Vodka coming to report:
"Brother, the one who contacted and joined the organization a long time ago and has been lurking in Beika Town, codenamed Sake, Maori Kogoro, tried his best, even risking his life, and finally tore a way for us to get closer to the evil god in this terrifying den of Beika Town, and proposed a plan..."
Gin was smoking a cigarette, and his feet were covered with cigarette butts like a carpet. Upon hearing this, a trace of fatigue and a sigh appeared on his cold face:
"Mouri Kogoro? I have some impression of him. After joining the organization, he seems to have been lurking beside the evil god for a long time. I thought he had been devoured long ago, but I didn't expect him to persist until today. The information has been sent out, right? What do the officials of various countries say?"
Vodka said: "The senior officials of various countries who still retain some rationality and have not completely fallen into madness said that this is a good opportunity. For the survival of human civilization, the evil god must be completely annihilated at all costs!"
Gin looked up and saw the boundless darkness that was spreading to the entire world with Beika Town as its center.
Even though officials from various countries had built an unprecedentedly magnificent defense wall outside of Beika Town, completely encircling the entire Beika Town, they were still unable to stop the spread of the darkness.
Many people like zombies came from all directions, and then ignored the magnificent high wall and walked into Beika Town through the wall.
Gin couldn't remember when the world had become so distorted.
But all we know is that during the incalculably long period of time, more and more people went crazy, and these crazy people were unconsciously captured by the darkness emanating from Beika Town and took the initiative to throw themselves into this devil's cave. Then more and more people awakened and realized the abnormality of this world, and gradually realized where the center of the abnormality of the world was.
Beika Town is a horror amusement park inhabited by evil gods!
Taking a deep puff of cigarette, Gin said calmly: "Annihilation? What are these politicians dreaming about? If the evil god could be easily annihilated, would the organization have to sacrifice so many members and not fight until today? Moreover, they say that they will do whatever it takes, but in the end, won't the organization still have to charge into battle?"
Vodka said, "Brother, there is no other way. We are the only ones who can fight against the evil god several times without dying. If we need it, the support from all countries to our organization will be unlimited."
Gin didn't say anything, just continued smoking.
He vaguely remembered that in his early years, he seemed to be just a cadre of a criminal organization. However, after the organization's boss Karasuma Yeren went completely crazy for some unknown reason, the organization was on the verge of collapse. It was at this time that the organization had a turning point because Gin had been on a mission in Beika Town in his early years and had some close dealings with the evil god.
As a man who survived several close battles with evil gods, he became famous all over the world and became the last hope of all countries. Especially after all countries tried again and again with their own methods and failed, this expectation became heavier. For this reason, countries around the world support the organization at all costs!
Gin could no longer remember how long it had been since he had been involved in criminal activities. The focus of his life now was completely occupied by investigating, studying, and sniping evil gods.
But it doesn't matter anymore. For Gin, killing the evil god is a sinful cause that is worth devoting his entire life to.
Throwing the cigarette butt on the ground, Gin said coldly: "What is the plan that Sake proposed..."
Vodka said: "Comrade Maori Kogoro, through his years of research on the evil god, has exhausted his connections and relationships and facilitated a complex criminal plan. According to the intelligence and research materials he provided, ordinary criminal cases are actually insignificant pastimes for the evil god. Only theatrical-level criminal cases can trigger the evil god's rules of the game and create an opportunity to confront the evil god head-on. He named his theatrical-level criminal plan [Fourteenth Target]..."
Gin listened silently, and finally whispered in the curling smoke:
"How can you stay rational, keep thinking and researching, and come up with such a plan while lurking around the evil god for so long that there is no end in sight? Maori Kogoro is really an amazing man. Are there any links in his theatrical crime plan that require organization and cooperation?"
Vodka continued, "Comrade Maori Kogoro said that a theatrical crime plan alone may not be enough. To be on the safe side, he asked the organization to formulate a second theatrical crime plan, using the channel torn open by the case he formulated to implement it simultaneously in Beika Town, so as to increase the success rate as much as possible. At the same time, he also has a strong request..."
At this point, Vodka's tone was a little hesitant. Gin glanced at Vodka and asked, "Tell me, for a man like Maori Kogoro, the organization can't let his efforts go to waste..."
Vodka's tone was a little lower: "Comrade Maori Kogoro, I hope that the organization will try to frame him in the theatrical version of the case and kill his wife and...himself. If the situation is really not possible to have the best of both worlds, please do everything possible to complete the former goal!"
Gin said nothing, but just leaned on the Porsche sports car, looking at Beika Town, and continued to smoke, one cigarette after another. After a long time, he threw away the burnt cigarette and said coldly:
"Tell Comrade Maori Kogoro through intelligence channels that the organization will not let him down, because this time, I will personally take action. They will not die, and they don't need to die. They just need to live well and witness the moment when the evil god falls. That's enough..."
Vodka was a little anxious: "Brother, the information that the movie version of the crime plan can confront the evil god head-on has not been verified, and it is too dangerous for you to attack it yourself rashly. Countries now can no longer afford the risk of losing you, the strongest killer..."
Gin suddenly turned his head and looked at Vodka, and said slowly: "Vodka, do you still remember how long the organization and even human civilization have been entangled with that evil god? During this period, how many people have been sacrificed by the organization and even the entire human race?"
Vodka was stunned: "I can't remember, I can't remember clearly..."
Gin turned his head and continued to look at Beika Town, saying coldly: "I don't remember, and I can't remember clearly. I just vaguely remember that the sacrifices of countless members of the organization paved the way forward, and there are countless members of the organization who are ready to sacrifice, just like Comrade Maori Kogoro. Therefore, I know that mankind must defeat the evil god Edogawa Conan. To do this, there is no risk or price that cannot be borne, whether it is me or others, it is the same!"
Gin didn't finish his words, because, as more and more people around the world fell into madness and were completely captured and devoured by Beika Town, he had a vague premonition that humanity might no longer have a future.
But that doesn't matter. As a killer, he doesn't need to think deeply about these things, these complicated things, which are only things that politicians need to consider.
All Gin has to do is hold the gun tightly!
All the sacrifices were turned into bullets, pressed into the gun chamber, and finally...
End it all with killing!
Vodka opened his mouth several times after hearing this, but in the end he said nothing, tacitly accepting the decision of his elder brother Gin, and finally said:
"Brother, I understand. I will inform all the countries and ask them to mobilize all their forces to formulate and prepare a crime plan that can be called a theatrical version in Beika Town..."
Gin nodded, but finally said:
"Let the officials of each country formulate the plan, and we will be responsible for its execution. I only have one request. The code name of this theatrical crime plan should be "Countdown to Heaven"..."
It didn't matter what Gin was thinking when he spoke the code name of the plan. He just stared at the magnificent wall that humans had built with all their efforts but which only served as a comfort with unprecedented concentration.
The enemy is behind that magnificent wall!
The third special event is taking place with the support of the double theatrical version.
It starts with a seemingly ordinary case, and then a series of cases merge into it, pouring down like an avalanche, and like a sharp blade, swinging with unprecedented ferocity. Gin, bringing vodka and preparing to die, rushes into Beika Town, intending to sound the countdown to heaven.
Attacks and counterattacks, reasoning and explosions, the killer who bears the name of humanity is hunting the evil god who bears the name of detective.
Beika Town became more lively than ever before, and even the darkness that covered the sky seemed to be shaken by it.
In the theatrical case that is a mixture of "The 14th Target" and "Countdown to Heaven", Eri Kisaki is missing, and based on various clues, she is suspected to be dead!
"Oh, the case hasn't been settled yet, and it's not certain that Kisaki Eri is really dead!"
A huge and abstract dark figure raised questions in a clear childish voice at the crime scene, but its movements were a little awkward, as if it had been injured in a skyscraper explosion in the case.
Standing in front of him, Maori Kogoro showed a slightly crazy smile:
"Oh, is that really the case? Well, you monster who calls himself a detective, start your reasoning..."
This is a game, but also a contest. Conan keeps investigating and solving cases, and finally gathers all the clues and finds out the truth. It is at this time that Conan loses confidence for the first time:
"Oh no, that's impossible... How could the murderer be you, Uncle Maori? This must be a frame-up, it must be a frame-up!"
At this moment, Kogoro Mouri took a step forward and stood just a few feet away from Conan. Then he bent down, stared at the boundless darkness, and laughed wildly.
It was a hysterical laugh, but also a laugh of sadness and despair.
While laughing wildly, Maori Kogoro said:
"After eliminating all the impossible, what remains must be the truth. You monster who calls himself a detective, you have muttered this before. Now, please... respect the truth!"
Conan was silent. He was still trying hard to find a way to turn the tables, but in this detective game, Kogoro Mouri had already exhausted all means!
In the end, he won!
Kisaki Eri is dead. Her death is certain and there is no room for doubt. This is the "truth" that is told, and even Conan can only "acknowledge" it.
The murderer was her husband, Kogoro Mori. His motive for committing the crime was resentment due to his repeated failed attempts to reconcile. His means of committing the crime were using a borrowed knife to kill someone and hiring someone to kill.
The "truth" has been born, but the case has not yet been completely settled.
Kogoro Mouri took out his gun and aimed at Conan.
Although the case was solved, the criminal did not surrender but planned to resist.
Endless black tentacles came towards Kogoro Mori.
Kogoro Mouri, who once left a legend as a sharpshooter in the police force, ignored the terror that was coming and aimed at Conan.
The gunshot rang out. Although Conan tried his best to dodge, he was still shot in the left arm. This time, he did not stand up as if nothing had happened. Instead, he covered the wound on his left arm and whispered:
