……
Following the captain's instructions at the tower, the plane gradually began to land smoothly.
Suddenly, a flash of lightning streaked across the sky, and the entire cockpit was illuminated by the white light. When the light faded, Conan and Kidd were shocked to find that all the lights on the aircraft's cockpit screen had gone out!
Conan hurriedly leaned in and shouted, even forgetting to change to a childish voice: "This is Flight 865, the lightning just now made all the images disappear!"
Compared to the two newbies, the captain on the tower seemed much calmer. Although he was curious about why a third voice appeared in the cockpit, he was still methodical: "Don't worry, turn the white knob next to the instrument panel."
As Kidd turned the knob, the light returned.
Kidd exhaled lightly: "Fortunately, the light is on."
"No, the autopilot light is not on!!" Conan pointed at the automatic button above and spoke in a hurried tone.
Realizing that something was wrong, the captain immediately ordered Kidd to stop landing. However, as the plane was ascending, a strong gust of wind blew from the side, blowing the plane towards the tower.
Kidd tried his best to pull the joystick upwards, but it was too difficult to pull the joystick and maintain his balance in the strong wind.
Just as he was struggling to hold on, a pair of cool hands rested on the joystick. He felt the pressure eased, and the joystick, which he had just been unable to pull with all his strength, was pushed down obediently like a tamed wild horse.
Kidd turned his head and saw Conan, who was originally standing next to him, had been transferred to the co-pilot seat at some point, while the devil, who had just been sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai, was now standing steadily next to him, and no matter how bumpy the plane was, he remained motionless.
Chapter 359 Are You Sure You Want Me to Save People?
After being trained by Gin for so long, and even now being able to fight with him on equal terms, Chu Ming is no longer as strong as he was before. Therefore, the joystick that is difficult for Kidd to control is actually just that for Chu Ming.
However, the wind was still too strong. Even with Chu Ming's help, the plane still flew over the tower and knocked down the top of the tower.
The fallen spire hit the cars, and the connected cars exploded one after another. The flames of the explosion spread rapidly along with the wind. The tanker trucks, cars, and even the plane parked at the edge were blown apart, and the whole airport was ablaze.
After getting in touch with the tower and confirming that they had to circle over the airport and wait for the fire on the runway to be extinguished before rescheduling the landing, Kidd let out a long sigh of relief after adjusting the flaps, and turned his head to thank Chu Ming who was standing next to him.
If Lucifer hadn't lent a hand just now, I would have hit my left hand when I pulled the joystick and the plane was bumping.
Chu Ming lowered his eyes and looked at Kidd who was slightly looking up, and said lightly: "I just don't want your skin to be damaged."
"...We can still continue the conversation without mentioning this." Kidd's face fell. Anyway, it wasn't his own face that was being used, so it didn't matter if he didn't keep a poker face.
At this moment, the hatch was suddenly pushed open, and Ayumi and the others hurried over: "Conan, it's bad, we just saw an engine fall from the window!"
Conan turned around to comfort them: "It's okay, this won't affect our landing later. For now, we just need to wait for the fire on the airport runway to be extinguished before we can land. We are currently full of fuel - hiss -"
Kidd heard something was wrong with his tone and turned around to ask, "What's wrong?"
No matter how calm Conan was, he panicked at this moment: "We are running low on gas."
He looked around and saw on the screen that the fuel valve was open, so he quickly reached out to close it.
Kidd recalled that when Mr. Ban Heng was supporting the co-pilot, he pressed his elbows and wrists on the aircraft control panel, and he must have pressed the fuel valve at that time.
hateful!
Kidd quickly called to the tower: "This is Flight 865. The fuel valve of the aircraft has been opened. The current fuel is not enough for us to hold on until the fire on the runway is extinguished! Please respond if you hear me!"
However, the noise from the tower was extremely noisy and I couldn't hear clearly at all.
Kidd frowned tightly. First, the plane was struck by lightning and the autopilot broke down. Then the airport runway caught fire. At this time, the communication with the tower was not smooth. The fuel was dropping madly. It felt like all kinds of bad luck had happened to him.
No, there is still hope, there is still a devil here!
Kidd turned around and looked at Chu Ming: "If the plane runs out of fuel, can you keep it from falling?"
??? Is this something a human can do? Oh, my character seems to be a demon...
Chu Ming forced himself to remain calm and boasted: "Okay, but why should I take action? The souls of so many people must be spectacular~"
Kidd tightened his grip on the joystick: "Didn't you say I could call you if I ran into any problems? So what are you doing now..."
"Don't worry, if something really happens, I will take you away and will never let you get hurt in the slightest."
Kidd looked at the figure standing upright beside him, and then at Conan who was frantically flipping through the map and seemed helpless. He gritted his teeth. If possible, he really didn't want to offend this devil, but he couldn't just watch everyone on the plane die.
He looked at Chu Ming and whispered his own threats: "Lucifer, don't you think my soul will be perfect after I grow up? If the plane really crashes into the sea, I won't ask you to save it. You won't be able to wait until I grow up!"
Looking at Kidd who was so desperate that he threatened him with his life, Chu Ming sneered: "Are you threatening me?"
Seeing that the demon was obviously enraged, Kidd's brain was working rapidly: "This is not a threat, I am just stating the facts. You said that you signed a contract with me. The more you are required to do, the stronger the contract will be. Isn't it a big deal to save an entire plane of people now? Don't you want our contract to be stronger?"
Chu Ming had no way of refusing these words, but fortunately he had just found something good in the system mall.
Chu Ming leaned over to Kidd and touched his forehead: "Are you sure you want me to save him?"
Feeling a slight pain between his brows, Kidd knew that it was Lucifer emphasizing the contract with him. He tried his best to remain calm: "Yes, I am sure."
Chu Ming stood up and said, "What you lack now is fuel, which is energy, right? Don't worry, it's just fuel. I will use magic power to supply you with fuel until the plane lands."
He just found a fuel card in the mall: after using it, he can add a certain amount of fuel to the designated means of transportation.
This card costs 10 points and is pushed to the bottom of the system mall. It is estimated that almost no one will buy it, but it is indeed a powerful weapon for Chu Ming to show off at this time.
Chu Ming placed his fingertips on the plane's cabin wall and silently used a fuel card on the plane. The plane's fuel level instantly increased by 1000 pounds. 100 pounds of fuel can roughly support the plane's flight for one minute, and one fuel card can last for 10 minutes.
The key is that there are only 10 points. Chu Ming looked at the more than points that he had been earning recently but had hardly used. He was not panicked at all. This was enough for a plane to circle the earth.
OK, fill it up! Fill it up!
At this time, Conan was still nervously flipping through the book. Ayumi accidentally glanced at the screen and called out in confusion: "Conan, did you see it wrong? The fuel line clearly shows that there is more than half of it. Why do you say it's almost gone?"
Conan looked up and saw 30 pounds of fuel on the screen, and his hand that was turning the book froze in place.
What's going on? He clearly saw 3000 just now. No matter what, he wouldn't miss two zeros, right?
He rubbed his eyes and even took off his glasses to look, but there was no change.
It’s over. Has his eyesight deteriorated because he has been wearing glasses for too long?
Chapter 360 Looking forward to meeting you next time
Conan was questioning his life, but Kidd on the other side finally breathed a sigh of relief. That was great! The oil was enough for them to put out the fire on the runway.
Conan looked at Kidd's obviously relaxed expression, and asked the children behind him to go back to the cabin and sit down. After the cabin door was closed, he turned around and asked Kidd.
"How did you do it? Or is this just a trick? In fact, the amount of oil has not changed, and you changed the number to appease the passengers? After all, this method is not impossible for you..."
Kidd glanced at Chu Ming, whose fingers were still on the wall, and pushed Conan's head away: "It's not a trick, it's real. As long as there are no other problems, the plane can land safely. I just don't know..."
Kidd was a little worried. He had never had such bad luck before. The storm was getting stronger and stronger. If he was struck by lightning again during landing, the plane would probably crash.
"Then how did you do it?" Conan couldn't figure out how Kidd was on the plane and how he could refuel it.
"Don't worry about that." Kidd didn't say much. After all, if Conan was told such a fantasy thing, he would definitely not believe it and would think that he was making up a story to fool him.
At this time, the plane had been circling near the tower. Due to the wind and rain, and the efforts of the firefighters, the fire on the runway was put out. The tower finally contacted Kidd and informed him that he could land again.
Chu Ming had already retracted his pretentious fingers at this time, and rested his elbows on the back of Kidd's chair. He saw Kidd turned his head and looked at him when he received the notification from the tower.
Chu Ming tilted his head: "Hmm?"
Kidd thought about it and said nothing. He just readjusted the flaps and landed according to the tower's instructions.
Chu Ming realized what Kidd meant and chuckled, "Are you afraid that the plane will have another accident? Don't worry, since the contract has been established, I will deliver this plane to the ground intact. You can fly it without worry. I have protected the plane with magic power, so there will be no problem."
After all, he bought a 10-minute limited lucky bonus and put it on the plane. With the added luck value, there would be no problem for the plane to land smoothly.
After hearing that, Kidd finally let go of his slightly tense heart and glided slowly towards the runway according to the instructions.
Conan looked at the two people who were whispering to each other beside him, his eyes full of suspicion and resentment. There were obviously three people in the cockpit, but he always felt that he was the extra one. Kidd had been conspiring with his fans for some time, saying that they coveted his soul. Sure enough, they were lying to him! That was his accomplice!
However, it is unknown how Kidd refueled the aircraft in flight. Generally, the military has dedicated aerial refueling aircraft, which are specially used to refuel fighter planes in the air. But this is obviously a civilian passenger plane. How did he refuel it? Is it some new technology? It seems that his identity must be extraordinary.
Maybe it has something to do with the military!
Kidd's attitude towards his accomplice was also very strange. This accomplice obviously had a Western face. He had previously thought he was a mixed-race person, but now it seemed - could this man be a member of the American military?
At this time, Chu Ming did not know that in Conan's mind, his alias had become a mysterious figure from the US military.
After the plane stopped safely, the pilots commanding at the tower breathed a sigh of relief and put their minds at ease.
If there had not been someone on the plane who was able to take on the task and barely fly the plane, all the passengers on the plane would probably have died. It would have been a major accident that shocked the whole country. Fortunately, the plane landed safely. Although there was heavy damage and several planes were blown up, there were no casualties.
The crew leader looked at the captain and co-pilot being carried away, his eyes as if fired. He gritted his teeth and arranged to send the two men to the hospital, but he had already thought of a comprehensive punishment program in his mind, including fines, suspension, and reflection.
At the same time, the police who received the call also took Natsuki Sakai away, because her act of poisoning led to a series of consequences, which was also the responsibility she needed to bear.
Except for the people in the first class cabin, the rest of the passengers had no idea what had happened on the plane. They thought something had happened at the airport and the plane could not land because it was circling in the air. They had no idea that they had just brushed shoulders with death.
Conan said that he wanted to arrest Kidd, but in the end, considering that Kidd and he had saved the entire plane and had not stolen the gems, he turned a blind eye to Kidd and ignored Kidd and Chu Ming's departure.
Kisaki Eri was hit by Conan's anesthetic needle and was still unconscious. While Kogoro Mouri was muttering that she was too timid and must have been scared to death, he gently carried her off the plane.
The airport manager originally wanted to find out who the hero was who saved the day, but after waiting for a long time no one showed up. When he asked the flight attendant, he learned that the person had already left, so he could only go back with regret.
At this time, Kidd was gliding in the air on a glider, the only difference was that there was a man flapping his wings beside him.
Kidd looked at Lucifer who was following closely behind him, and had no choice but to find a tall building to land on. Chu Ming also folded his wings and stopped.
"Why have you been following me?"
He was forced to sign a complete contract with the devil today, and was worrying about what to do after he really becomes an adult. However, Lucifer kept following him everywhere, leaving him no chance to feel sad.
Chu Ming looked at the points that kept jumping on the system interface and saw that Kidd looked a little depressed. He did not tell him that he was trying to earn back the points he had just spent from him. He just comforted him a little.
"I thought that by helping you so much today, I would be able to make the contract more solid, but in the end it seems that I lost out, and only made the contract conclusion progress a little bit higher."
Kidd suddenly became interested: "Why?"
"The conclusion of a contract requires causal equality and fairness. If this accident really caused the death of hundreds of people, and I saved them because of your request, then the contract will become solid because of my efforts. However, according to the progress of this contract, even if you don't ask me to help, these people should not have died. I guess there are other opportunities. So this progress of the contract is probably only equivalent to the magic power I output."
Chu Ming once again refined the devil's personality and enriched the character details.
Alas, it’s not easy to make a vest.
Kidd understood Chu Ming's explanation, which meant that he could have landed successfully without asking Lucifer for help?
Hiss, did he lose out?
He changed his mind and realized that it was not a loss.
Not only did he not lose money, in his opinion he even made a profit.
At that moment, he didn't have time to think too much. Since he had a way to save them, he couldn't just watch everyone on the plane die.
I even thought that because of this request for help, the contract with Lucifer was completely established, but unexpectedly, there was a turning point!
