He's in Detective Conan, and he's the mastermind behind everything.

Ok……

Even if the person who's been watching the surveillance cameras is a smart guy, just thinking about the iron fence here will probably make him subconsciously relax a bit.

After all, the iron bar here is even more outrageous than the previous one, already as thick as a wrist. Trying to pry it open without making a sound is simply wishful thinking.

Xiaolan leaned closer and glanced at it, looking somewhat embarrassed. She lowered her voice considerably and said into the earpiece:

"I can guarantee that bending the iron bars won't make too much noise, but the grid they divide into horizontal and vertical sections is too small. Even if you make them into a circle, it's impossible for a person to pass through. And if you break a weld, it will definitely make a loud noise."

Ying Sheng nodded and whispered, "Let me check how well they welded it. Maybe they cut corners."

Ying Sheng raised his hand to explore the intersections of the grids, and with a thought, he had already used [Berserk] on several of them.

The air goes crazy because molecular activity becomes intense, leading to a rise in temperature.

What about metals?

Ying Sheng was shocked to discover that, in addition to the increasing temperature at those intersections, the iron was also rapidly decaying, probably because it was reacting with oxygen at an extremely fast speed.

Within a minute, he unleashed over a dozen points of killing intent. Ying Sheng, seemingly by accident, pulled two adjacent iron bars, and whispered with a smile:

"The distillery is actually quite mediocre."

Xiao Lan, who had been watching this place, also had a bright idea in her eyes. She gently gripped the two iron bars and continuously exerted force on both sides. Before long, she silently opened a gap that allowed a person to pass through.

"call--"

She exhaled softly, her slightly flushed face quickly returning to normal. Looking at Ying Sheng, who had already stepped inside, she chuckled softly as well.

"We're really lucky."

"Indeed, the winery's lack of professionalism far exceeded my expectations; such a blunder was even possible."

There was at least five parts truth in Ying Sheng's words. After all, he didn't choose those two iron bars randomly in order to reduce the consumption of killing intent. The welding on them was indeed not as good as other places.

I feel that even without his skill, as long as the thermite was prepared in advance, it could have been done to this extent.

However, thermite makes a sound when it burns, um...

Then prepare inflatable soundproofing material and place it on the other side of the passage. It can be used for whatever you do here.

But the easiest option is still a hacker. As long as they can hijack the camera, they don't care if they have to use a cutting machine.

In short, there are many methods, but the best option for the distillery is to send someone here.

Could it be that no one wants to guard the sewers?

That's really laziness.

Continuing forward with this strange thought, Ying Sheng finally arrived at a manhole cover a moment later and realized that he had indeed wronged the distillery.

"Hey, you actually dared to drink alcohol? Are you out of your mind?"

"What's there to be afraid of? The explosions are all happening on the periphery. Lord Rum said that the enemy can't get in, so they're trying to lure us out. As long as we maintain our strategic focus and don't fall into their trap, we can rest easy."

"Hiss—as expected of Lord Rum, that makes sense. But this is so frustrating. Who exactly is the enemy? The Japanese Public Security Bureau? Or the FBI? Why didn't Lord Gin go out and take them out?"

"How would I know about adult matters? By the way, have you been feeling a little nauseous since dinner?"

"You ate too much, didn't you? It's not just you. Everyone who eats less is fine. They went to argue with the chef, and he cursed them, saying they were reincarnated starving ghosts who had stuffed their intestines."

"...Couldn't it be food poisoning?"

The voices kept coming from above. Ying Sheng really wanted to tell them that gastrointestinal discomfort was a symptom of mild mercury poisoning, and that drinking more water to promote excretion would be fine, and it wasn't a big problem.

But after listening intently for a while while climbing the ladder, he was quite speechless and didn't want to say anything at all.

Oh no, this seems to be the living area for the outer members of the distillery. There aren't just the two of them; further away, there are other people whispering and talking.

How do we get up there?

Xiaolan also heard the voices above and frowned slightly: "Should we go deeper? Maybe there's another exit."

"No, no, no, this is already my limit. If I go any deeper, I'll throw up."

"Please stop talking."

"Ok."

Ying Sheng obediently replied, looking at the manhole cover above: "There's only one way now."

Chapter 216 Ying Sheng: Lady Luck is Smiling

"A direct assault is the only way."

Ying Sheng climbed down the ladder a few steps and looked down at Xiao Lan: "Things have come to this point, it's not good to give up halfway. Alice, what are your thoughts?"

Xiao Lan shook her head and sighed softly: "It would be much better to launch a strong attack from here or from the main gate."

She took out a hand grenade: "Should we use this to clear a path?"

Ying Sheng smiled and said, "There's no need for that. Your idea of ​​not killing people might still be able to continue."

"Huh?! How did you do that?"

"Of course this is it."

As they spoke, Ying Sheng had already pulled out a long, cylindrical grenade. Xiao Lan compared it to the oval one in her hand, and her eyes immediately lit up:

"Flash bomb!"

Ying Sheng nodded approvingly: "It's not just so you can avoid killing people. Judging from the sounds, this seems to be one of their activity squares. They're scattered in groups of three or five, so a grenade would have too small a kill radius."

He pointed to the manhole cover above: "In a moment, listen to my instructions, kick it open, then immediately bend down, cover your ears, close your eyes and bury them in your legs. When I say come up, you jump up again. I'll be on the left, you'll be on the right, and knock down everyone you see."

Also, use less kicking techniques; your karate style was too obvious in your first two actions.”

Xiao Lan nodded quickly, her eyes showing a hint of eagerness: "They'll be distracted by the manhole cover and will definitely be hit by flashbangs. I can deal with enemies who lose their sight with my hands."

Ying Sheng reminded him: "The premise is that you have to be fast, understand? If someone struggles or resists, you can use a gun. If you don't want to kill anyone, shoot them in the abdomen. Anyway, this is the winery research institute. If you make a hole in their intestines, they won't die."

"clear."

Xiaolan nodded emphatically, already gripping the Glock in her hand, deciding to use the grip to shoot people later.

Ying Sheng grasped the safety pin and pulled it down:

"three."

Xiaolan moved her ankles and rubbed her feet on the ground to make sure she wouldn't slip.

"two."

Ying Sheng loosened his grip slightly, and the fuse began to start timing.

"one."

Xiao Lan's figure shot into the sky in an instant, BOOM—!!! Amidst the huge metallic crash, the bright incandescent light from outside shone into the dark sewer.

Ying Sheng silently counted to zero in his mind, and before the crowd could gasp in surprise, he threw a flashbang upwards.

And then, on a sudden impulse, he used Enlightenment on the flashbang the instant it left his hand, consuming two points of Killing Intent.

Then lower your head, cover your ears, and close your eyes tightly.

The next second, it was dawn.

After a piercing "bang," even with her eyes tightly closed, Ying Sheng felt as if the world had been torn apart in an instant. A burst of intense white light illuminated every corner, and her eyes felt a stinging pain.

Almost at the same instant, a huge explosion rang out in my ears, deafeningly loud, and the entire space trembled. The sound penetrated my eardrums and reached my brain, leaving only a buzzing echo in my ears.

Ying Sheng quickly added two points of killing intent to himself to prevent his consciousness from being overwhelmed by the intense sound waves.

What the heck? Are the Americans' weapons that effective?

No, he certainly knew that the killing intent played a part, but the contribution was far too great!

Does this mean that flashbangs are designed to unleash their power in an instant, so the effect of increased killing intent isn't limited by the human body? Or does it mean that the effect is concentrated in those few milliseconds of the burst, making it extremely powerful?

With no time to think further, Ying Sheng opened her bloodshot eyes, shook her head violently to shake off the tears welling up in her eyes, lest they blur her vision.

He was most grateful that he had just let Xiaolan bury her head in his lap as a precaution, otherwise things would have been much more complicated.

Ying Sheng lightly touched the hanging ladder with his toes, his hand already hooked onto the edge of the well. With a sudden pull, he was standing on the ground. Before he could even look closely, he let out a shout:

"Alice!"

At the same time, he had already drawn his sword and charged to the left...

rush……???

Xiao Lan had just jumped onto the ground when her body, which had been crouching like a cheetah gathering its strength, paused. She looked up and scanned her surroundings in a daze. Where was the target she needed to take down?

The flash of a flashbang lasts for a very short time, usually between 5 and 10 milliseconds. By then, everything on the ground is normal. Just as Ying Sheng had expected, it was a square about the size of two football fields. The cold metal ceiling was about four meters off the ground, supported by a round steel column in the center.

They were located near the edge of the square, and the two gentlemen who had spoken earlier were on the steps at the edge of the square.

and so……

Xiao Lan turned her head and saw that the two men had already collapsed together, their eyes rolled back.

Xiaolan suddenly understood something, shook her head which was also throbbing, and looked down at the ground.

Ha ha……

Sure enough, they were scattered all over the ground.

Their pupils were all white, and they had completely lost consciousness. Some were even foaming at the mouth and bleeding from their ears.

Xiaolan suddenly turned around and asked blankly, "Did they downplay the effects of flashbangs in the movies? This clearing effect is way too strong!"

Ying Sheng carefully examined the grayish-white eyes of one of the peripheral members, thoughtfully stroked his chin, and sighed softly:

"America truly lives up to its reputation as a military superpower."

Ying Sheng looked around and, sure enough, spotted three cameras. He raised his gun and detonated them one by one. With such a commotion, there was no need to worry about being discovered. As long as those people weren't deaf, they would definitely find out.

"Alice, turn your back to me and stay close, watch out for what's behind you."

There were two paths leading away from the plaza. Based on the distance traveled in the sewers, Ying Sheng quickly calculated the location of the research institute in his mind and headed towards the passage that was farther away from the research institute.

Solitary confinement cells or prisons are probably located in more remote areas.

"What did you say? Speak louder!"
