Conan: Science Cartoonist Kudo Yuji

"Now, you should beg me to let you go." Yuji glared at the ghost face not far away.

Realizing that the gunshot from the young man in front of him was just to attract others, Ghost Face immediately drew his sword and killed him. He swung the sword in his right hand straight at the young man's thigh, but there was a loud bang when the sword hit the thigh.

Seeing that Onimian's knuckles were cracked due to the collision between the Japanese sword and the ceramic guard he had put on his thigh in advance, Yuji kicked hard with his other leg while being on guard against Onimian's left hand.

"cut."

The shoes with electric light did not kick Ghost Face, because when the man felt the vibration of the blade, he understood that the young man was mobilizing all his strength and hurriedly stepped back.

Seeing that he was at a disadvantage, Guimian immediately pulled out another knife from his sleeve, and the two knives alternately slashed at Yuji's neck.

"I just don't believe you still have a guard on your neck."

The boy blocked the knife in his right hand with his arm, but Ghost Face immediately used his special skills. He twisted and changed his left hand before the opponent could grab him, and it rubbed against the arm guard with a hissing sound and directly hit Yuji's neck.

The imagined gushing of blood did not occur. Instead, Ghost Face's knife was stuck in the boy's neck, and he stared at the cut in surprise.

"Who says you can't add pads to your neck?"

While taunting, he kicked Onimian hard in the chest. Yuji touched his neck, pulled out the knife stuck in the pad, threw it on the ground, activated the electric light and crushed the blade with his shoe.

He struggled to remove the pad of the same color as his neck, then looked at the ghost face with disdain.

This pad attached to the neck is the latest research result of Suzuya who was asked by Yuko in Tokyo to do it. It is not only thin and light, but more importantly, it has first-class protective effect. It is said that even Suzuya had to cut it twice to open the pad.

"gentlemen!"

A group of people who ran over from the front of the shrine breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Onimian and Kudo Yuji lying on the ground. Immediately, several of them ran out with ropes to tie up Onimian.

"and many more."

The people surrounding Yuji called for them to stop, and then looked at the kimono man who came out of the woods on the other side. Although Yuji was under protection, he could tell at a glance that this new guy was more dangerous.

"Sure enough, there is more than one ghost mask."

The young man whispered to those around him, "There might be a third one, you guys better be careful."

In this situation, no one would let him fight with the new Ghost Mask. Several good fighters immediately stepped forward, holding a dagger in their hands and rushed over, no longer taking the Ghost Mask that stood up from the ground seriously.

"Dagger... How stupid." The new ghost mask, who was dressed in the same way, did not move, and did not even draw the second knife. He just drew the knife out of the sheath with his right hand, and then responded casually. In Yuji's view, every collision between the knife and the dagger was like his own people stabbing at the knife.

"No, that guy predicted the actions of Miyajima and the others." Nana Komachi squeezed next to Yuuji, staring at the fight and sweating: "He predicted the action and put the knife on the trajectory of the dagger in advance, so there was the illusion that Miyajima and the others were stabbing."

"hateful!"

Miyajima, mentioned by Nanamichi, saw that the dagger was useless, so his eyes narrowed, he dropped the dagger and pounced on him.

"I just don't believe that you can use a knife when fighting me in close combat."

Miyajima immediately switched from dagger tactics to a body lock, dodging the knife's blows while also trying to stab at the new Onimian's joints, but he always retreated before the knife.

"Giving up weapons would be an even more foolish step."

He laughed at Miyajima in a strange voice, and then, to everyone's surprise, he picked up the dagger that Miyajima had just dropped with his wooden clogs and caught it. His left and right hands twisted and deformed at the same time, and he chopped Miyajima's neck with the knife, while the dagger went directly to his throat.

"Um?!"

With a bang, the bullet shot straight into the center of Ghost Face's eyebrows from the corner of the main hall of the shrine, forcing him to turn around and use his dagger to block the knife, deflecting the bullet sideways, and the two cold weapons in his hands were also broken due to the impact.

After taking a knife from another man, the new Ghost Face drew out his left knife and looked directly at Wucheng who was whistling towards him.

"Oh... really good swordsmanship." Gojo winked at Yuuji, then said to Onimian: "It's a pity that your sword is not that good, otherwise you could have blocked the bullet just now."

"maybe."

Ghost Face's voice was unclear, but he obviously didn't care. The buzzing sound gradually became louder in the sky. He raised his head and his eyes under the mask swept across the helicopter with the police logo.

"We have a sniper on that helicopter. Even if you run away with him, the sniper rifle can blow your head off in the next second."

Wu Cheng's mouth corners raised: "So you'd better take off the mask quickly and turn yourself in."

"Good suggestion."

Ghost Face nodded, then took out a remote control from his arms.

"But what if I planted a bomb on the mountain?" (End of this chapter)
