"Ku-Kudo, um, you fired a gun..." Hattori stuttered, "He, you--"
Hattori didn't know what to say. Chu Ming slowly tore a piece of cloth from the person lying on the ground and wiped the fingerprints off the gun.
Although he had processed it so that fingerprints would not be left on it, he did so simply because he thought it was more pretentious.
"What's wrong? Haven't you already confirmed that I'm not the real Kudo Shinichi?" Chu Ming used Kudo Shinichi's face to show a wicked smile, "Why are you still calling me Kudo? You can call me Song, Zhu, You, Jie."
Conan's pupils suddenly widened, and he murmured, "You are - Granburch..."
Chu Ming snapped his fingers: "It's me, congratulations, you got the answer right~"
Looking at Conan's pale face, Chu Ming tilted his head, a little distressed: "What's wrong? Logically speaking, I saved your life before, why do you have this attitude when you see your savior? Tsk, this is what a famous detective is like, ah~"
Conan calmed down and said, "I am very grateful that you saved me at that time, but it is undeniable that you also did a lot-"
Chu Ming waved his hand: "Okay, detective, don't try to lecture me. If reasoning worked, I would never appear in the organization."
"Are you here to arrest me?" Conan's fingers trembled and he touched the anesthetic watch unconsciously.
"No, I was asked to hold you back~" Chu Ming smiled maliciously, "After all, you are protected by someone. No one will touch you for the time being unless it involves the organization's private matters. The person we want to touch is——"
"Haibara!" Conan's eyes widened, "You want to catch Haibara?"
"Yes, detective, but..." Chu Ming's eyebrows curved, and he smiled maliciously, "Aren't you in a hurry to save your girlfriend now? It seems that you don't have time to go back to save Shirley~ Or do you want to give up your beloved Xiaolan and save that woman? What should we do, detective? Which one are you going to choose?"
"Hey, your dilemma is really interesting. I like this kind of bloody plot where you have to choose between two options the most~"
Chu Ming looked at the points he had earned with satisfaction and performed even harder.
Chapter 506 Can't You Afford to Play?
"What if I want to choose both?" Conan's unyielding character came to the fore again.
"Don't be so greedy, detective." Chu Ming leaned leisurely on the handrail of the stairs. "Belmode should have reached Shirley by now. It is undeniable that if you rush over now, relying on your relationship with Belmode, she will probably let Shirley go again. But in this way, you won't have time to look for Shimizu Reiko, and the bracelet on your girlfriend's hand will - bang -"
Chu Ming made an explosive gesture and made himself laugh. Seeing the three people around him looking unhappy, he asked in confusion, "Why, isn't it funny? Why aren't you laughing?"
How can they laugh?
Conan's face turned pale, and he turned his gaze to Hattori and Kidd. Receiving his gaze, Hattori stepped forward and said, "Don't worry, Hakuba and I will definitely find Miss Shimizu, so you can go without worry—"
Chu Ming interrupted him directly: "That won't do. Stay out of trouble that has nothing to do with you. If you insist on getting involved, I can give you two options. Do you want to get involved to help your brother, or go back to find Miss He Ye, who you haven't become your girlfriend yet?"
"This is our business, don't involve other people!" Conan was anxious, he stood up with a serious expression, "This matter has nothing to do with Hattori!"
"I know~" Chu Ming said innocently, "Did I want to drag him in? No way, I think it was you who wanted to drag him in just now. I saw you and Mr. Hattori flirting with each other~"
"How can it have nothing to do with me!" Hattori said, "He Ye is also trapped in the amusement park. I must find Shimizu Reiko to unlock the bracelet on He Ye's hand. Then I can go check my own business!"
Chu Ming chuckled and said, "Of course you can, but Qing Shui Li Zi is already in my hands. If you want to do useless work, I won't stop you."
"you--"
Chu Ming was surprised: "Mr. Hattori seems very angry, why? Why are you angry at me? If you want to save your girlfriend, you should tell Mr. Kudo~ As long as he promises not to interfere with Vermouth's action of arresting traitors, I will immediately have someone send Shimizu Reiko to you so that your beloved can be saved. You see, one for two, what a good deal~"
Conan clenched his hands tightly. To this day, the trolley paradox is still a problem that many people are discussing. Faced with a speeding train, many people are unable to make a decision, whether to choose to save one person or to save five people.
So even though Conan is a famous high school detective, even though he enjoys a high reputation at a young age, facing the question of who to save still makes him feel very confused.
His breathing quickened a little, and his unwillingness to admit defeat resurfaced. He looked at Chu Ming hatefully: "I won't be led astray by you. I will save everyone!"
After saying that, he turned around and ran towards the playground.
Hattori and Kidd quickly followed.
Chu Ming leaned back and waved to him as he left, smiling, saying, "I just admire the lively look of the famous detective~Keep it up~"
The next second, when Conan was no longer in sight, he quickly jumped up and drove towards the amusement park.
Wouldn't it be so embarrassing if I arrived at the amusement park later than Conan?
How can you still pretend to be cool?
Alas, his damn desire to win.
As a result, while he was driving on the road, the communication crystal ball given to Kidd began to shake violently and flash white light.
Chu Ming was holding the flashing crystal ball and was stunned for a moment.
Could it be that Kidd called him for help?
Chu Ming quickly stopped by the roadside. This place was still far away from the Fantasy Park and Conan couldn't get there for a while. Chu Ming looked through the organization's safe houses in Yokohama, found a nearby public safe house, swiped the watch permission card given by the boss before and walked in.
Practice makes perfect. After he modified the virtual environment, he changed his disguise and connected the communication.
"What's the matter?" The black-haired, red-eyed demon leaned on the throne, his wings spread out lazily. However, the background this time seemed no longer as dead silent as last time, but a luxurious hall of a palace. Through the corners that were exposed, one could even see some demons toasting each other.
"Lucifer, I need your help with something. Are you busy now...?" Kidd returned to his original appearance. He had just separated from Conan and the others on the pretext of something, and secretly hid on the top of the building to summon Lucifer.
Judging from Conan's tone before, this should be an extremely vicious organization. He has no other choice but to rescue the people first and then talk about other things.
But he had no clues at all, so he could only ask the devil for help.
"Go ahead." Lucifer shook the wine glass in his hand. The bright red liquid swayed in the glass. Some red hung on the wall of the glass and then slowly slid down. "Who made me like your soul? It's not a bother for you to come to me anytime."
"Hey, Master Lucifer, is this the collection you have been hiding from us?" A woman with revealing clothes, voluptuous appearance and devil horns on her head squatted beside the throne, pointed at Kidd in the portrait, and laughed a few times, "What a dazzling soul, Master, when you get tired of playing with it in the future, will you give this soul to me~"
Lucifer raised his hand, and a black flame slowly ignited in his palm: "Asmodeus, don't covet my collection, you are not worthy."
The female demon called Asmodeus' face changed slightly: "Lord Lucifer, this is at Lord Mammon's banquet. If you damage his palace, he will be very angry~"
"Hmph, so what." The flame seemed to grow a little bigger. In the end, Asmodeus did not dare to continue to act rashly. He retreated a few steps in weakness, leaving the range of the crystal ball.
Chu Ming used the editable projection of the crystal ball to patch his identity again and directed and acted in the show himself.
It's time to scare the little pigeon again. Why does he have to do everything?
I can tell at a glance that Kidd must have asked him to help Conan deal with the organization. I can't possibly go against myself, right?
So sometimes it’s not good to have too many vests…
"Tell me, what exactly do you want from me?" Lucifer extinguished the flames with a flip of his hand, then raised his eyes slightly and looked at Kidd.
"That is, can you remove or destroy the bomb in the bracelet without being noticed?" Kidd looked at the demon who had just appeared, with a lot of thoughts in his mind, but when he heard Lucifer ask him, he still looked at the demon tasting wine on the throne in front of him with a burning gaze.
There was some red wine on the corner of the devil's lips, and his whole body became evil.
"Of course, my dear collection, I helped you this time, shouldn't you pay a price?" The devil's gaze lingered on his heart with greed in his eyes.
"The price is not to wait until I come of age and then—"
"Don't make a mistake, dear collection. I am a demon, not a good person. I have been helping you, but I have to wait until you reach adulthood, and I have gained nothing?" Lucifer licked the corner of his lips, "This time, I want to taste your heart's blood."
Is this request too much?
Reject me now!
Just say you want to find it yourself!
So I don’t have to figure out how to deal with you!
Have some backbone and don't let me look down on you!
"Okay...I promise you."
...You can't afford to play! !
How can a little game between the organization and mortals like you involve demons!
You have no martial ethics!
The question is what should I do now? !
Chapter 507 You also want to know
"Tell me, what difficulties have you encountered." Lucifer crossed his long legs, leaned his elbows on the throne, tilted his head to look down at Kidd, his eyes were indifferent and evil, and seemed to be much colder than what he had seen before.
Although Lucifer had always said that he would take his soul away when he came of age, Kidd had gotten along quite well with him before, so Kidd sometimes forgot that the person he thought he got along well with and who sometimes seemed curious about the human world was actually the cold-blooded, evil and arrogant demon in front of him.
Chu Ming watched Kid's expression changing from time to time, but he didn't say a word. He couldn't help but urge him quietly. If he delayed any further, Conan would arrive first.
"Since you are quite interesting, if you want to regret it, I am not unwilling to--"
"Of course I didn't regret it. I was just organizing my words." Kidd responded quickly, no longer thinking about anything else, and instead briefly repeated the matter to Chu Ming.
"You want me to help you move the bomb just to save those people?" The demon on the screen seemed to be interested. He leaned forward slightly and tapped the armrest of the throne with his fingers. He was quite gossipy. "Is it the person you like? Who?"
Black mist poured out from the devil's fingertips, forming a black light curtain. Several figures gradually appeared on the light curtain, both men and women. The only thing they had in common was that they all wore a glowing bracelet on their hands.
"I just checked, these people all have the bracelets you mentioned, and they all have bombs inside. Which one do you like?"
Kidd looked at Conan, Hattori and others on the screen, and his mouth twitched: "No..."
"You are willing to use your blood for someone who doesn't matter to you?" The devil sat up straight and waved away the light curtain. "You should know that once I have your blood, it will be enough to control you and make you my puppet~ Tsk, although I like your souls, people with dazzling souls like you really like to meddle in other people's affairs."
"Puppet?!" Kidd lost his voice, "What do you mean?"
"You don't know?" Chu Ming curled his lips slightly. "By the way, you are a human being, you don't know what heart blood is. Heart blood is the purest drop of blood in your heart, which is formed by all your essence. This drop of blood will affect your heart and disturb your mind. What we demons are best at is controlling blood, and we use this drop of blood to control you."
Kidd looked at the demon that seemed to be threatening him and suddenly smiled: "Thank you, but I know you won't do that, right?"
If there wasn't a tsundere beside him, he probably wouldn't have heard that this was a subtle advice for him to reconsider.
As expected, he is the demon of arrogance. Even advice sounds like a threat.
"Not now, but when you grow up, you will be my puppet sooner or later." Lucifer made a hand gesture, and a black mist gradually appeared around him. When the mist dissipated, a boy with delicate features and pale complexion appeared beside Lucifer, who looked to be about fourteen or fifteen years old.
He slowly opened his eyes, his behavior a little stiff, and knelt on one knee beside Lucifer, his voice hoarse and dry: "Master."
Lucifer looked at the light curtain. "I'm busy at the banquet, so I'll take this opportunity to show you my last puppet. His soul wasn't as dazzling as yours, so I didn't bother waiting for him to grow up, and I made him into a puppet. How's it? Isn't it exquisite? I'll give him some of my power, and he'll help you this time."
After saying that, without waiting for Kidd to say anything else, he directly dismissed the communication.
If I don’t hang up now, I will never be able to catch up with Conan.
Fortunately, I found a good thing in the mall. It is a humanoid robot that can be controlled by remote brain waves. It is not equipped with a large arsenal and has no weapons except for a simple protection system and a flight system.
According to the product introduction, it should be a toy for children on a high-tech planet. Before officially operating the mecha, they can practice by connecting the toy with brain waves from a young age. It is cheap and easy to use. The disadvantage is that there are no weapons and no intelligent brain assistance, and there are only simple logical movements before the brain waves are connected.
But for someone like Chu Ming who likes to spend the least points to get the greatest effect, this is simply a magic weapon.
As for his sometimes dull behavior, Chu Ming had already found an explanation for him in advance. After all, it was a puppet. Wasn't it normal for it to have no thoughts?
