On the other side, after the call was disconnected, Kidd stood there, slowly covering his chest. He had just seen the puppet, and couldn't help but think about what he would look like when he grew up.
He didn't tell anyone that the devil was targeting him, but kept it to himself.
He didn't know whether his decision to seek help from the devil was a bit impulsive, but seeing several lives disappear in front of him, he felt that he couldn't do it.
However, although he didn't know how Lucifer was going to take his heart's blood, he felt that it would not be as serious as having his soul taken away and being made into a puppet when he was already an adult.
And just now he heard Lucifer's conversation mention two names, Asmodeus and Mammon.
According to legend, seven demons are in charge of the seven deadly sins. Asmodeus is the demon king representing lust, and Mammon is the demon king in charge of greed.
Judging from how they were getting along just now, the demons didn't seem to be in harmony with each other. But then again, if they were in harmony, they couldn't be called demons.
Lucifer claims to be the Lord of Hell, but when he wanted to take action before, Asmodeus threatened him with Mammon, saying that Mammon would be very angry if he took action.
Although Lucifer was not threatened, it can be seen from this that Lucifer is not the only one in power in Hell. Can he use this to escape when the time comes...
He didn't know that Kidd was planning to split the power of Hell and try to find a way out. After hanging up the phone, Chu Ming bought a robot in the mall, input Kidd's appearance into it, gave it a command to find Kidd, and at the same time brought a message to Kidd.
Then, he drove very fast and took a shortcut to the Fantasy Park. Finally, when Conan's little green dot on the small map was about to cross the road, he got ahead of Conan and entered the park with the help of the bracelet he got.
At this time, Vermouth had no idea that a black pot had been dropped on her head through the void. She was still immersed in the joy of "I am visiting the theme park with Angel". She even tolerated the presence of the annoying Shirley by her side.
But when she saw Chu Ming appear in his sight again with Matsutake Yusuke's face, she couldn't help but frown, walked aside and hurriedly made a phone call.
"Didn't you go to help? Why are you back again? Have you finished your work?"
"Alas, when my sister calls me, the first thing she says is not to show concern for me. She was not like this before." Chu Ming was teary-eyed. "Alas, now that there is a beauty by her side, she will only ask about the mission like my elder brother. I am so sad~"
"...Don't act like a demon."
"Okay, I've already found out, but Conan just ran over here like crazy just now. Maybe Shirley informed him that you were here, and he thought you were here to catch her~" Chu Ming confused right and wrong.
Vermouth glanced sharply at Huibara Ai, who was hiding behind Xiaolan in the distance, and said angrily, "If I wanted to take action, would I have to wait until now?"
"Conan doesn't believe this. He just thinks that you, a member of the organization, will definitely cause trouble if you are around Xiaolan and Shirley." Chu Ming secretly poked and fanned the flames, "Sister, do you want to act out a scene with me? Let's see whether this little detective will choose his girlfriend at the critical moment of life and death? Or will he choose Shirley who is related to the organization and can help him find the truth~"
"Sister, you must want to know too, right?"
Chapter 508 Do me a favor
In fact, Vermouth does not have the same bad taste as Chu Ming. Although she does want to know and is curious whether Conan will put Shirley before Xiaolan, she does not want to make trouble for Conan and Xiaolan for this, especially since she knows that Conan really likes Xiaolan, but with Conan's personality, he really doesn't want the people around him to die because of him, especially when this decision needs to be made by him.
If this continues, Conan will definitely collapse.
So she decisively rejected Chu Ming's proposal.
Unfortunately, Chu Ming had already planned it, so how could he let Vermouth refuse?
"Sister can only choose to participate or watch. It's okay if you don't want to participate, but it doesn't seem appropriate to overturn my stage, right?" A smiling voice came from the receiver. Vermouth frowned slightly. Granburch has been getting crazier and crazier recently. Although he was a little crazy before, he was mostly normal.
How come he has been following Gin for so long, but he has not learned anything he should have learned, and has instead picked up all of Gin's bad habits.
Why don't you learn from Gin and do more tasks?
"Didn't you promise me that you wouldn't take action against them for the time being? Didn't you say that as long as they don't get in the way of the organization, we'd just ignore them for now?" Vermouth asked back.
Chu Ming acted like a rogue: "I didn't do anything, and I didn't want their lives. What I promised was to temporarily guarantee their safety, but I couldn't guarantee whether they were mentally sound."
"Okay, I saw Conan rushing in. You can follow his words and say that you won't take action this time, but don't reveal that there is actually no action this time~ Otherwise, I don't know what he will do when he gets bored~" Chu Ming smiled gently, but full of threats, and hung up the phone directly after he finished speaking.
Vermouth's hand holding the phone stiffened for a moment, then slowly loosened it, and returned to Xiaolan with a lot on her mind. Her eyes swept across Haibara Ai and stayed there for a long time.
After she knew that Xiaolan had a bomb in her hand and that it would explode if she left the range of the Fantasy Park, when Sonoko wanted to take Xiaolan to the restaurant opposite the park for dessert, she and Haibara Ai cooperated briefly and did not let Xiaolan go out with Sonoko, leaving her in the Fantasy Park.
Although she still couldn't stand Shirley's look, she was prepared to pretend to be selectively blind because she was also protecting Xiaolan, but in this situation -
This complicated look happened to be seen by Conan who rushed over. Fearing that Vermouth was about to attack, he rushed forward in two steps: "Sister Xiaolan!"
"Conan?" Xiaolan waved happily, "Aren't you with your dad? Where is he?"
"Uncle is investigating a case. Who is this sister?" Conan looked at the person whose outline was somewhat familiar, and the corners of his mouth twitched. That organization is getting more and more creative now. They even disguised themselves as Shirley and wandered around...
"This is Miss Miyano, who asked your brother Shinichi to investigate. Shinichi went to investigate by himself, and Miss Miyano followed us to play." Xiaolan smiled gently and wiped the sweat off Conan's face. "Why are you so sweaty?"
Conan's heart trembled, he grabbed Xiaolan's hand that was wiping his sweat, and pursed his lips: "Xiaolan - Sister..."
He is now at a loss and doesn't know what to do.
Xiaolan is his lover who is more important than his life, but Haibara - after living together for such a long time, how could they not have any feelings for each other?
Although she was a member of the organization before, after knowing her for so long, he also realized that Haibara Ai was forced to join the organization, and now Haibara is also his friend... If one of them must die in order to save Xiaolan, he would rather die himself.
There is never any final conclusion on this matter.
"What's wrong, Conan? You look so gloomy today." Xiaolan didn't pull out her hand that he was holding. She just used her other hand to rub his brows and smooth out the wrinkles there. "You look like a little old man."
"Sister Xiaolan..." Conan suddenly raised his head and blinked, "If someone asked you to choose between Shinichi and - uh, and Sonoko, who would you choose?"
"Huh?" Xiaolan was stunned.
"If you can only choose one and the other has to be given up--" Conan usually has a very logical reasoning, but now he doesn't know how to describe it.
"You are such a little kid. You have been hesitating until now just to think about this~" Xiaolan laughed, clenched her fist and shook it fiercely, "Of course I will choose to beat up the person who asked me to make the choice. This choice is obviously deliberately made to sow discord. Why should I care about him? I didn't learn karate for show!"
Looking at Xiaolan's brilliant smile, Conan also curled the corners of his mouth. Sure enough, Xiaolan's choice was the same as his. His Xiaolan was always so bright and sunny.
Haibara Ai listened to the conversation between Conan and Xiaolan, her eyes flashed slightly, as if she understood something, but was still a little confused.
Conan was looking sad when he came just now. It seems that someone asked him to choose between love and friendship?
Who?
Someone from the organization?
Make Conan make a choice between Xiaolan and her?
But Vermouth has been here for such a long time and has clearly shown no intention of capturing her?
Where did Conan get the information?
"I want to play with Sister Miyano!" Just as she was thinking, she heard Conan acting like a child from a distance again.
Haibara Ai looked in the direction of the voice and saw that Conan had completely lost his face. Under the stunned gazes of the detective team members, he tightly grasped the corner of Vermouth's clothes and was about to roll on the ground to ask Vermouth to take him to the carousel.
Vermouth, on the other hand, was holding her cell phone, openly keeping evidence of Conan's dark history.
No matter how Xiaolan tried to coax her, it was useless. In the end, Vermouth put away the photos contentedly and said that she was waiting anyway, so she might as well go play with Conan.
Under the somewhat contemptuous gazes of Genta and Mitsuhiko, Conan dragged Vermouth towards the carousel with a wooden face.
"Conan, why do you have to have your sister accompany you? Obviously your sister Xiaolan also wants to play with you. How sad will your sister Xiaolan be if you do this~" Vermouth teased him.
"Vermouth." Conan stood still, his face serious, and went straight to the point, "You promised me not to do anything to Huibara for the time being, didn't you? You appeared here again today, is it because of the organization's mission? How did Huibara reveal herself?"
"No, I'm just following orders." Vermouth stopped and stopped acting. She spread her hands and said, "There's too much information I can't tell you, but since you're here, I'll give up the mission. It's not a mandatory mission anyway. After all, you know I can't do it in front of you and Angel."
"That's great." Conan hesitated for a moment, then said, "Um, Vermouth, can you do me a favor?"
"?" Vermouth was a little confused and gave him a questioning look. It was rare for this kid to come to her for help.
"I originally wanted Kidd to cooperate with me, but he said he had something to do and left directly on the way here." Conan tugged at the corner of his clothes and spoke after a long time.
"Can you please help me disguise myself as a person and accompany me?"
Chapter 509 This won’t work
Chu Ming watched Conan take Vermouth away, and he didn't know what he was planning.
He followed quietly with great interest, hiding aside and eavesdropping on Conan and Vermouth's private conversation.
When he heard Conan asking Vermouth to disguise herself as a human, he poked his head out in a lewd manner and watched stealthily.
"No, this won't work." When Vermouth heard clearly who Conan wanted her to disguise herself as and what he wanted her to do, she decisively rejected Conan's request.
Conan's face showed disappointment that was difficult to conceal. Vermouth was a little helpless and sighed quietly: "It's not that I don't want to help you, but disguising as Granburch is really not an option. Not to mention that once he knows about this, it will only end in a worse situation. This idea alone is not feasible. He has always done things alone and rarely looks for peripheral members of the organization to do things. Even if I disguise myself as him, I can't help you find the whereabouts of Shimizu Reiko who you said was captured by him..."
And if she really disguised herself as Granburch, that little bastard would have a reason to use her as an excuse to go out and cause trouble next time. She didn't want to be like Gin, with half-siblings or lovers, and she didn't want to take the blame for that little bastard without her knowing.
Look at Gin now, his hair has turned a lot whiter, and it’s all because Granburch has been ruining his reputation in the organization.
"From your tone, your status in that organization is not as high as his?" Conan's focus was a little off, and he keenly noticed the details in Vermouth's mouth, but he had clearly heard Huibara Ai say that she had never heard of this code name before she defected from the organization. He tried to ask, "Didn't you say that Granburch became a code name member after you?"
"Shirley told you? You and she have a good relationship. She told you everything." Vermouth said in a somewhat ambiguous way, "Yes, although Granburch became a code member after me, he was a member of the organization before that. He has Gin's trust more than me."
Conan pondered for a while, and suddenly his eyes lit up. He took out his mobile phone, pointed at the photo of Shimizu Reiko and handed it to Vermouth: "Then can you disguise yourself as Shimizu Reiko? This time the client needs us to bring Shimizu Reiko to him, and he will be willing to deactivate the bomb in Xiaolan's hands. But Shimizu Reiko was taken away by Granburch, and there is not enough time..."
"I can disguise myself as her, but I've never heard her voice, and I'll be exposed as soon as she speaks."
"It doesn't matter, you just need to get there, and I'll take care of the rest!" Conan's eyes lit up, and he finally found a solution. After all, Ito Suehiko's requirement was to bring Shimizu Reiko over to unlock the bracelet.
Chu Ming heard everything clearly at the side. He tilted his head to look at Conan who suddenly did something fancy, and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
As expected of the protagonist, she has a quick mind, and it didn’t take too much time to disguise herself this time. After all, Vermouth and Shimizu Reiko are somewhat similar...
Tsk, then didn’t Kidd’s sacrifice go in vain?
How could that be possible? He had already exchanged his robots and used up his points. Wouldn’t this be a waste?
We have to trip Conan up a bit, otherwise he will be at a disadvantage, right?
He slowly and silently retreated from the alley, and watched from afar Conan dragging Vermouth, who was disguised as Reiko Shimizu, towards the building opposite the Fantasy Park. Halfway through, Vermouth disliked Conan's slow running, so she picked him up in her arms and ran forward.
Chu Ming pondered for a while, then turned around and found a secluded place, disguised himself as Shirley. Fortunately, he put a lot of clothes in the system backpack. The clothes that Vermouth had previously worn were also provided by him, so he had the same ones with him.
He cleared his throat, then ran towards Xiaolan in a panic: "Miss Xiaolan, something bad happened. I was just playing on the merry-go-round with Conan when a woman ran over and grabbed Conan and ran away. I chased her but the shoes I was wearing were inconvenient and I couldn't catch up at all. What should I do? How about we call the police!"
Xiaolan was also a little panicked. She stood up quickly and suppressed her worry to comfort Chu Ming: "Ms. Miyano, don't worry. Conan is very smart. He will be fine. He will definitely find a way to save himself. I will call the police now and then look for him nearby!"
"No!" Huiyuan Ai shuddered and subconsciously spoke out to stop him. What a joke, how could Conan be captured in front of Vermouth? Vermouth, the killer, might as well commit seppuku!
There is a fraud in this matter!
Moreover, Conan had told her before that the client did not allow them to call the police. If they found the police entering here, they might mistakenly think that it was Conan who called the police and then directly detonate the bomb, wouldn't that be...
But she couldn't think of any excuse to stop it, and she couldn't come up with any reason after trying for a long time.
"What's wrong with you, Ai?" Xiaolan was a little anxious, but she still patiently squatted beside Huihara Ai and asked, "What's wrong?"
Huihara Ai paused, her eyes darting around, and happened to see two people having an intimate conversation not far away. She suddenly had an idea and pointed over there: "I mean there's no need to call the police. Look, aren't those Officers Sato and Takagi over there? Let's ask them to help us look for it first. What if it's someone Conan knows who's playing a prank on him? Wouldn't it be a waste of police resources if we call the police then?"
Xiaolan thought so too, so she stopped her hand that was about to call the police, and waved frantically at the two people who were secretly dating: "Officer Sato, Officer Takagi~"
Takagi had just avoided Megure, Shiratori and other colleagues and was just breathing a sigh of relief when he heard a familiar female voice calling him and Sato. He looked up with a little collapse and saw Sato enthusiastically pulling him towards Xiaolan, wanting to cry but without the tears.
