Stay away from Conan.

only……

Although the team tracking Shiho Miyano had dispersed and withdrawn after being disrupted by the Japanese Public Security Bureau's actions, and was still under procedural tracking, even though their vehicle characteristics and movement patterns had been recorded, allowing for the reverse tracing of their origins, bases, and possible dispatch chains...

But, is it really that easy?

Given the situation there, with only that much manpower and resources, it's hard not to suspect that the mastermind behind the organization might choose to abandon these people once he realizes they can't escape.

Meanwhile, the Twilight Villa, as a more direct armed force, had a clear objective, a larger scale, and was more conspicuous.

Obviously, in this situation, if we could capture their possible communication signals, trace the origin of the equipment, or even...

Shoot down a helicopter and collect the wreckage for analysis...

Perhaps then we can more quickly find out where these armed forces came from.

With that thought in mind, Gao Yuan turned his gaze to the phone screen and brought up another view—

That was a composite panoramic image created by combining and simulating the individual images captured by his swarm of drones scattered over the Dusk Villa through an artificial intelligence program.

In the scene, three black armed helicopters continued to hover in the air, controlling the airspace. On the ground, armed personnel had completely taken control of the annex plaza. Gin and his group, along with the political and business figures associated with the organization, were all hesitant to make a move due to the strength of the enemy.

Meanwhile, in the distance, in the direction of the parking lot where Rum was located, there were also drones secretly monitoring the area. The drone that landed in front of Rum's car remained quietly on the hood, maintaining a silent warning. Even though there was no threat from armed personnel, Rum still dared not make any rash moves.

Right now, everyone around the Twilight Villa, including Rum, is temporarily stunned for various reasons, while Shiho Miyano is temporarily safe...

The first half of the plan has basically met expectations.

So……

Gao Yuan took a deep breath, forcing himself to suppress the waves of dizziness caused by blood loss and medication side effects.

Now, it's time to close the net, or rather...

It's time for a "fight to the death" situation!

After all, from the very beginning, what Gao Yuan needed was not to escape unscathed—

In this dream, Gao Yuan didn't care about his own life or death. What he needed was to bite down as deeply as possible on what might be Karasuma Renya's tentacles before "death" or "the end of the dream," and use this as a medium to tear off a piece of bloody flesh, leaving behind a clear enough clue to be traced in reality!

Armed helicopters, armed personnel, and the command chain, logistical support, and personnel files that inevitably exist behind them...

Even the slightest clue could become the key to unlocking Karasuma Renya's hidden fortress in reality!

Just as Gao Yuan was concentrating on planning the final step of his operation, trying to figure out which force to target to gain the greatest benefit, a vibration that sounded like an alarm suddenly came from his phone!

At the same time, the two surveillance drones hovering above him, Camus, and Hanada Emi, based on some kind of autonomous logic, simultaneously turned their cameras in the same direction—

That's the direction from which the anomaly originated.

At this moment, Gao Yuan suddenly looked up and saw that one of the three armed helicopters that had been mainly circling over the Twilight Villa had suddenly broken away from the formation, turned its nose around, and began to descend and accelerate towards him!
The helicopter's rotors churned the air, emitting a deep and oppressive roar as it approached rapidly. The observation equipment beneath the nose of the helicopter had clearly locked onto the area!

"Discovered?!"

Hanada Emi's expression changed, and she subconsciously looked at Gao Yuan, then at Camus.

Despite the excruciating pain from having both thumbs severed, Camus forced himself to stay alert, squinting at the approaching helicopter, then glancing at Gao Yuan's conspicuous katana and pale face, and coldly snorted:

"The way you look, plus these buzzing toys, your heat and signal signature are too obvious. They definitely have infrared or electromagnetic detection equipment."

Gao Yuan ignored Camus's sarcasm; his mind was racing.

He was discovered, just as he expected.

It was only a matter of time before such a large-scale mobilization of drone swarms, hijacking of base station signals, and prolonged stay in one area would allow an adversary with specialized military equipment to locate them using technical means.

He just didn't expect the other side to react so quickly, and to be able to immediately send out troops to conduct a precise search after taking control of the Twilight Villa.

"It seems... the efficiency of the enemy's command system and intelligence integration capabilities are even higher than expected."

Gao Yuan quickly operated his phone to wake up all the remaining drones scattered above the Twilight Villa that were originally in a semi-silent state, and set the final command set.

"I don't have time to slowly choose a target..."

As Gao Yuan watched the armed helicopter getting closer and closer, until he could even see figures at the cabin door and gun barrels sticking out, his eyes suddenly became resolute and crazed.

"Since you've come knocking on our door, then... let's start here!"

Gao Yuan raised his hand holding the phone and simultaneously pressed his finger heavily on a physical button on the phone!
next moment--

call out!call out!call out!call out!
Above the twilight villa plaza, dozens of drone models that had been flying low and scattered as if out of control suddenly all rose in altitude, their propellers spinning at maximum speed, emitting a piercing shriek!

They no longer scattered, but instead, as if drawn by an invisible magnetic force, frantically gathered towards the armed helicopter flying high into the distance. The plastic bombs hanging beneath each drone became exceptionally conspicuous at this moment.

At the same time, the two surveillance drones above Gao Yuan also crashed head-on into the armed helicopter that had already entered visual range!

"You want to die together with me?!"

Hanada Emi exclaimed in shock—

I knew this guy was crazy, but is he still this crazy at a time like this? Could it be that he thinks a toy plane of this level can compare to an armed helicopter of that level?
Camus's pupils constricted sharply as he tried to move his body backward, seemingly wanting to get out of the area where he might be affected as soon as possible.

But Gao Yuan, who had gone this far, remained standing in place, letting the mountain wind blow his blood-stained clothes and hair, staring intently at the helicopter and the sea of ​​drones that rose up like a swarm of bees over the Dusk Villa in the distance.

"Come on... let me see if your metal suits can withstand this 'fireworks'!"

Gao Yuan chuckled softly, as if he wanted to pour all his schemes, all his madness, and all the recklessness pent up in this dream into this final strike! (End of Chapter)
