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

Ying Sheng breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank you for your hard work. Let's retreat quickly to avoid being discovered."

"Hmm, big brother, are you sure you're talking to me? Does that mean I don't need to come over?"

"Of course, we'll be out soon."

"So, these words are just to appease Miss Lan. Big Brother doesn't hide many things from her, and he's definitely not the kind of person who makes empty promises without being sure of them, so... Masaka!"

Hua Ying's tone immediately became excited: "Is big brother going to show the power of a god?!"

Ying Sheng smiled without saying a word, looked up again at the bright moon shining on the world, and then turned his gaze.

"Alice, how about trying a shower of flowers?"

Xiao Lan was slightly taken aback. Thinking of Ying Sheng's movement just now, she immediately understood. She raised her hand and smashed and scooped up the wall next to her, filling her hand with broken stones. She then swung her arm back, gathering all her strength, and suddenly swung it in the air.

Bang——! ! !

Like a shotgun firing, the air itself seemed to explode.

The pebbles were too scattered, and the drone was flying too high, so it was unlikely to hit them. Ying Sheng had an idea and decided to take the opportunity to try out his new idea.

But almost simultaneously, his eyes widened in surprise.

Xiaolan's flying rock was supposed to miss the drone, but the drone operator panicked and tried to dodge it, and it still hit a flying rock. The huge force immediately broke off one of its rotors.

With only three wings remaining, the drone was flying unsteadily, wobbling and falling from the sky like a headless fly, and the operator tried his best to stabilize it.

Bang-!

This time it was a perfect hit.

After the drone was destroyed and landed, Ying Sheng turned to Xiao Lan and said, "Wow, Alice, I'm really getting cocky. As long as they don't have eyes in the sky, I feel like we don't even need to run. We can just find a direction and wipe them out."

"It was just luck, and Ai was there too, so safety is the top priority," Ran said.

The Toyota she had arrived in was just around the corner in the alley ahead. She glanced around the sky a few times and, finding no other drones, breathed a slight sigh of relief.

"Luckily, it was parked here before, otherwise it would definitely have been spotted by the drone."

“Even if we didn’t expect this to happen, we should always be careful about concealment in daily life…” Ying Sheng paused, raised his hand to stop Xiao Lan, “What bad luck. Drones are just too useful. They’re practically cheat codes in urban warfare.”

Xiaolan, puzzled, followed Yingsheng's gaze and saw the rear of the Toyota...

!!!

There's a package with a flashing countdown timer?!

Boom——! ! !

Almost at the same instant she noticed the thing, a huge flame leaped up in front of her. A spark pierced the metal, rushed into the fuel tank, ignited the dormant fire, and suddenly burst out, lifting the vehicle with a loud bang. The shockwave made the raincoats worn by Ying Sheng and Xiao Lan flutter loudly.

"Damn it, this is technological superiority."

Ying Sheng looked up at the sky and took about three seconds to vaguely spot a small black dot. He clicked his tongue in amazement.

"Three vehicles with four drones, impressive, very creative, and the models are even better. Hey, it turns out we were just fighting small monsters before, and the BOSS was always as stable as Mount Tai."

Xiaolan looked up and asked, "Were they playing cat and mouse before?"

"One big eye, a few small eyes, that's more accurate. Logically speaking, they should be more interested in capturing Sherry alive." Hotaru shook his head, looked at Ai Haibara, and smiled, "Does Miss still have faith in me?"

Ai Haibara pursed her lips: "It was almost gone, but after you said that, it's gotten a little bit back."

"Haha, thank you for your trust."

Meeting the expectant and curious gazes of the two, Hotaru took out a small tin box from his pocket. Ran felt it looked familiar, and when Hotaru opened the tin box to reveal the red and white capsules inside, Ai Haibara also felt it looked familiar.

It wasn't just that it looked familiar; after a half-second pause, he immediately blurted out, "APTX-4869!"

A look of surprise crossed her face as she looked up at Ying Sheng: "What do you mean by this?"

Hotaru shrugged. "You don't think I'm going to commit suicide, do you? I promised Ran I'd become immortal." He looked up at the somewhat uneasy Ran and smiled, then looked down at Ai Haibara.

"Besides, didn't we make a promise that we would live together and that neither of us would break our vow?"

Past vows surfaced in their minds, calming the turmoil in their eyes. Ran and Ai Haibara exchanged a glance, then looked at Hotaru together, and said in unison:

"What are we going to do?"

It's unrealistic to expect to suddenly eliminate all tension and completely disregard the current crisis.

But since we made a vow beforehand, no matter what the outcome, we'll just be together.

Ying Sheng chuckled lightly: "Relax, you two. This is far from a desperate situation. Right now, I just want to set off a firework here."

He took out five APTX-4869 tablets, put the rest away, and looked at Ai Haibara: "Let me confirm first, if the drug particles inside are crushed into dust, will they be effective if inhaled through the nose? Will a gas mask be able to block them?"

Ai Haibara pondered for two seconds: "If the diameter of the drug dust is small enough, it should be able to be absorbed through the nasal mucosa, but that would be very inefficient."

She looked up at Xiaolan's gas mask: "P100, it can filter particles larger than 0.3 microns."

Ying Sheng scratched his head: "I'm not sure how thin I can make it. Xiao Lan, you should see how it goes later, but try to hold your breath as much as possible."

Xiaolan nodded and looked at the capsule in Yingsheng's hand: "Are you going to make it into a weapon like a smoke bomb? Can I help?"

"No need. Just adjust your breathing to avoid aspiration later."

Hotaru then looked at Ai Haibara, "Will there be any problems if you inhale this a second time?"

Ai Haibara shook her head: "I only recently shrunk, and the remnants in my body haven't started accumulating yet. Theoretically speaking, I can't trigger the drug's effects."

Residues, also known as postlysosomes, are undigested residues of certain biological enzymes that have lost their enzyme activity. Some of these residues cannot be broken down and excreted by the human body and will accumulate in cells. The older the person is, the more residues accumulate. Therefore, they are used as the triggering mechanism for drug A.

Hotaru, of course, didn't understand this, but since Ai Haibara said so, he believed it.

"OK, wish us luck."

Ying Sheng turned and walked towards the burning vehicle frame, raising the hand that was holding the capsule behind him: "I'm sorry, Xiao Lan, I know you don't want to kill people, and you don't want me to kill people, but there's nothing I can do, those people brought this upon themselves."

Ran was silent for a few moments, then hugged Ai Haibara tighter in her arms: "I'm not an absolute non-killer."

"Oh? Haven't you always believed that even bad people should be given a chance to start anew?"

"Of course, these kinds of things need to be graded. If it's just a momentary impulse like Mr. Shirakura from Shizuoka Prefecture, we can give them a chance to reform. But people like Gin and Amuro Tooru are unforgivable, and I will never be lenient with them again."

Ran's voice was rather cold as she looked down at Ai Haibara, her gaze softening again: "I'm sorry, but if I had aimed at Gin's head last time, things might have been different."

Ai Haibara shook her head slightly. She didn't know much about Ran, but she thought: So this is the true nature of Miss Ran—a cool and capable person? It seems that her past image as a pretty face was just a misunderstanding.

Ying Sheng turned around with a surprised look, a slight smile playing on his lips. Xiao Lan has really changed a lot.

However, Gin and Amuro Tooru's public performance was indeed quite poor.

Ying Sheng approached the raging flames, extended his left hand, and grasped the flames about three inches away.

[Killing Intent - 1]

Whether the target of the enlightenment is air or fire, in an instant, the flame in front of Ying Sheng's hand rises and leaps up, dazzling like a fire dragon dancing in that brief moment.

In that case, it is absolutely possible to do it.

Ying Sheng gently clenched his right fist; [Killing Intent -5]

Target the problem: Drug A!

Chapter 266 Ying Sheng and Lan Ai's Wasted Efforts and Their Gains

Under the moonlight, the roads in the abandoned warehouse area crisscross.

The CIA members cautiously approached their target location. As they pressed themselves against the wall, they inexplicably felt as if they were walking through a maze, and what awaited them ahead was the terrifying minotaur.

Milotaurs!

Based on information gathered from teammates from various sources, their conclusion was not entirely unreasonable.

The flying stone smashed three drones in a row, shattered a wall with a punch, and knocked the person behind the wall unconscious on the spot.

WTF?

Is this still a human being?!

As CIA elites, they were naturally well-informed and knew that there were countless strong people in the world. For example, they had sent invitations to that Japanese high school student named Makoto Kyogoku many times, but he always ignored them.

The problem is, knowing is one thing, but actually running into it is another.

When the undercover agent Rena Mizunashi, whom they had gone to great lengths to send into the Black Organization, said that the other side had fired stones with a speed comparable to a sniper rifle, they unanimously agreed with their superiors' orders to surround them without attacking, and then try to persuade them to surrender after they had completely surrounded them.

Of course, there was only one target for persuasion: Sherry, who might be in this place.

As for the other two, even if they were willing to surrender, their extraordinary military strength would make them ticking time bombs. The CIA doesn't have many people in Tokyo, and they don't have the extra energy to keep guarding against them. All they can do is apologize to them.

It appears that one of them is holding a child?

Although innocent children are always naive, sometimes they have no choice.

Moreover, her association with such a dangerous person doesn't necessarily mean she's truly innocent.

Anyway, the child can't possibly be Sulli.

However, it is still necessary to lure them into surrendering, and then kill them unexpectedly to prevent the two from fighting like cornered beasts and causing any casualties.

Everyone agreed with the superior's order, but the encirclement had not yet been completely tightened, otherwise they would have already started making announcements.

The last drone constantly monitored the movements on the other side, and the operator would report the location every few seconds.

For nearly a minute, the other party remained motionless beside the burning Toyota, seemingly shocked by the previous explosion, or perhaps, having lost all hope and knowing they had nowhere to escape, they gave up resistance.

In short, victory is just around the corner.

Many CIA agents shared this view, and as if in agreement with them, an unusual light suddenly appeared before them under the rather pale moonlight.

The location was their target: the Toyota that had already exploded and caught fire.

Above it, a crimson pillar of fire rose into the sky like a fountain, breaking off at the bottom. The flames swayed and contracted, vaguely gathering into a fireball in mid-air. But before the fireball could gather, the blazing flames exploded in mid-air, instantly blooming into a blazing flower!

The firelight shone brightly, illuminating the surroundings like the rising sun, completely overwhelming the pale, cold moonlight and sweeping away the surrounding darkness.

In a daze, many people saw a thin, light mist in the light of the flames, enveloping the center of the explosion. It danced in the firelight, like countless tiny stars twinkling in the night sky.

But the brilliance lasted only a moment, and then silence returned to the world.

The moonlight once again enveloped the earth, and the ethereal Milky Way, as light as a thin mist, disappeared, making one wonder if they had hallucinated from witnessing that beauty.

Many people turned their attention away and continued walking.
