Science Fiction: Starting from Obtaining Sophon

Chapter 119 Gin's Vengeance

In that instant, it was as if time itself had frozen.

It's like a scene from a movie where a group of motorcyclists are speeding recklessly on the road, only to find a metal chain suddenly appearing in the middle of the road.

When you get close, you finally see clearly, but due to the immense inertia, you can only watch helplessly as you walk towards your death. This feeling of impending life and death is incredibly thrilling.

Moreover, not only Kaito Kid, but also a large number of police officers arrived at this time.

They first saw the corpse on the ground, and before they could react, they saw plumes of white smoke rising from the rooftop.

These police officers were very familiar with the white smoke, as it was a common escape tactic used by Kid, especially the lead officer, Officer Nakamori, who was also Nakamori Aoko's father, Nakamori Ginzo.

When Kid called the police, he naturally called the police officer he knew best: Nakamori Aoko's father, Nakamori Ginzo, who was also in charge of hunting him down. He was the most suitable person to do so.

At that moment, Nakamori Ginzo rushed to the rooftop, about to shout his signature line, "I'll be back!" It should have been, "Kid, don't run! I'll catch you!"

But before he could say anything, he witnessed a scene that horrified him.

Kidd actually jumped up to meet the opponent's sword, and the next instant he would be cleaved in two, cut in half!

This made Nakamori Ginzo shudder. Although he really wanted to catch Kid, he definitely didn't want to kill him.

Over the years, he has come to understand that his role in the Metropolitan Police Department is to hunt down Kid. If Kid is ever caught, it may be time for him to retire.

Therefore, deep down, he couldn't help but feel a sense of kinship with Kidd.

Seeing Kidd facing a life-or-death crisis, his expression changed drastically, and his heart seemed to stop beating for a moment.

However, Genda River then twisted his wrist, pointing the sword upwards, so that the blade landed on Kid's stomach.

Immediately, Kidd, as if riding on clouds, was sent flying several meters away by his power, just like a monkey being tossed about by a long stick, landing in a daze.

Even more deadly, the moment the sword made contact with his opponent, a powerful electric current surged in, giving Kidd a traditional '100,000 Volt' attack. Kidd was instantly immobilized and thrown solidly, making him even more unable to move.

"Gentlemen, are you satisfied with my gift? Judging from your expressions, you seem quite pleased. Then I shall take my leave!"

He then jumped off the building, startling the police officers. However, they soon saw him leap onto the roof of a lower building next to him, and then, with the agility of a monkey, easily moved away using protrusions, balconies, and small platforms on the outside of the building.

The opponent's movements were graceful, as if his body had no weight, and he could easily leap back and forth between buildings like Spider-Man.

This left the police officers completely stunned.

However, everyone immediately realized something. When Nakamori Ginzo saw Kaito Kid, who had just gotten up from the ground, his eyes lit up, and he became excited, like a hungry wolf seeing meat.

"Kaito Kid is here! Catch him!"

........................................................................

At nine o'clock in the evening, Gin was finally brought out of the operating room. The medical staff of the Black Organization slowly pushed him, and even though Gin was not fully awake yet, everyone was very careful.

Gin's authority within the organization is evident.

They quickly entered the ward, a private room. However, someone was already waiting inside: Vodka and Vermouth.

"Big brother!"

Vodka's body and face were covered in bandages, making him almost indistinguishable from the bandaged monster in the original story.

If it were the vodka version of the bandaged monster, its fighting power would probably be much stronger.

Hearing his younger brother's heartfelt calls, Gin finally awoke from his anesthesia.

The doctor hurriedly said, "Mr. Vodka, Mr. Gin has just had his wounds cleaned. The shrapnel from the grenade explosion has been removed, but his internal organs have suffered considerable damage. Although he has undergone surgery, he is still extremely weak. Therefore, if you have something to attend to, please end this conversation within ten minutes."

After he finished speaking, the doctor and nurse left. They were all logistics personnel of the organization and belonged to the organization's logistics department.

As a criminal organization, without its own medical personnel, it would be impossible for injured personnel to receive treatment at a proper hospital in the event of a battle.

Otherwise, the injuries sustained in the fight would inevitably attract the attention of the hospital, which would then lead to the police.

Gin reached out to support himself, but his well-trained body suddenly felt weak. Vodka quickly helped him up and placed a pillow behind his back to support him.

"Gin, what happened? How did you get so badly injured?"

Vermouth was gloating when she learned that Gin was injured. This guy had always been so arrogant and always tried to outdo her in everything in the organization.

Seeing her beaten up like this, she couldn't help but feel a sense of schadenfreude.

But then a problem arose: Gin, whether in terms of on-the-spot decision-making or combat skills, is a first-rate figure in the organization, an elite among elites.

But now it has turned out like this, the whole thing is definitely not simple.

Gin scoffed, "You know perfectly well what I'm asking. Didn't Vodka just tell you?"

Vermouth smiled alluringly and deliberately leaned closer, saying, "But I'd rather hear what you have to say. After all, the person involved is better able to explain what happened. Don't refuse; this is the boss's wish."

Gin looked stern. While he was unconscious, this woman was the first to report to the BOSS. What a cunning woman.

But since it was that gentleman's wish, he had no choice but to comply.

I immediately recounted the whole story in detail, including my own speculations. The more detailed the information, the more accurate the BOSS's judgment would be.

After finishing speaking, he paused and said, "There's one more thing. Consider it a favor I, Gin, owe you. I arranged for Calvados to carry out the mission, so the responsibility falls on my shoulders."

The mysterious man, after seeing the explosives in his car and being sniped again, immediately and decisively abandoned him and turned to go in the opposite direction of Calvados.

He was able to successfully escape by taking advantage of this opportunity.

However, this meant that Calvados was doomed to die.

Calvados was a die-hard fan of Vermouth and was extremely infatuated with her. Now that he was dying because of him, he felt indebted to her no matter what.

A hint of sadness flashed in Vermouth's eyes, then she snorted coldly, turned around and walked out without saying a word, clearly going to report to the BOSS.

Vodka also went out. Gin needed to rest, and he needed to recuperate as well. Although his injuries were not as severe as Gin's, he was still covered in wounds and should not be thinking about carrying out any missions for the next month.

"asshole!

Gin, alone, suddenly changed his expression from calm to ferocious.

This time, he not only lost face, but also suffered a great loss!

And all of this was caused by that guy, is that bastard a human or a ghost?

"Just you wait, whether you're human or a monster, I, Gin, will not let you go!"

Chapter 120: A week without solving the case, we need to catch up.

"According to our latest report, there has been a new development in the mysterious incident that occurred in the residential building last night. According to the police report, the whole incident was caused by a premeditated act of revenge by a criminal group."

"As for the information circulating online, much of it is untrue, and the talk of ghosts and gods is utter nonsense. We hope that netizens can carefully distinguish between fact and fiction and not be misled by unknown information. The authenticity of all information should be based on official information."

"Next, the Yamaguchi Group heir's rape and murder case, which has received intense public attention, has seen new developments. Renowned lawyer Eri Kisaki has submitted crucial evidence to the court again, which has been confirmed by the judicial system. Based on the current evidence, combined with the previous attack on the law firm, this will be extremely detrimental to the Yamaguchi Group's defense."

However, the head of the Yamaguchi Group's legal team stated that they will do everything in their power to defend the Yamaguchi Group, strive to clear its name, and hope to face off against Eri Kisaki's lawyer in court to end her "undefeated myth."

"Last night, thanks to the tireless efforts of the police, Phantom Thief Kid was finally captured, greatly boosting their morale. However, during the transport of Kid, the vehicle was attacked by what appears to be Kid's accomplices, and Kid has once again escaped the police's sight."

"However, when our reporter interviewed Inspector Nakamori, who led the arrest operation, Inspector Nakamori issued a declaration of war against Kid: 'If we can arrest him once, we can arrest him a second time.'"

"We wish Officer Nakamori a successful arrest of Kidd. Our station will broadcast the entire arrest process live."

"Here's a breaking news report: At a university cafeteria, a student found what appears to be a rat's head in his duck neck dish. He filmed the incident and posted photos online, drawing widespread attention from netizens."

"To dispel concerns among netizens regarding the quality of food in the cafeteria, Director Kameda of the Municipal Administration for Industry and Commerce personally inspected the site and confirmed that the foreign object was indeed a duck neck, not a rodent's head. Therefore, we are issuing this clarification regarding this incident."

"We hope that students, in addition to their studies, will also strengthen their ability to discern right from wrong, reduce such misjudgments, and minimize the potential negative impact on society..."

"Smack!"

Shinichi Kudo turned off the television in the hospital room, his face full of frustration, his once large and bright eyes now looking like dead fish eyes.

Since the last time he was ambushed from behind—actually, he was hit by a bald, deformed person, which caused a concussion—he was forced to stay in the hospital. He hadn't been involved in any of the events mentioned on TV, which was really frustrating.

He felt that things had really gone wrong for him lately, with all sorts of bad luck coming one after another, as if they were tailor-made for him.

This time, in particular, they actually gave him a concussion! What a bastard! Doesn't he know he's a famous detective? He relies on his brain to deduce things!

If he's beaten senseless, who will take responsibility? Don't let him catch that guy, otherwise the guy who attacked someone from behind with a club must be punished by law!

But he didn't know that although he seemed unlucky, he was actually quite lucky.

Because of the long-term suffering caused by the mutation, most of the mutants are extremely vicious and will kill people once they take action.

If it weren't for that bald monster discovering Eri Kisaki as his target and only knocking her unconscious instead of killing her, Conan's story would probably have ended before it even began.

"Shinichi, I brought lunch. It's all your favorite things: sushi, takoyaki, and two lemon pies. I think you'll have a good appetite," Ran said as she walked in, carrying a plastic bag with two lunchboxes in it.

She obviously brought two portions to have lunch with him. You can imagine that poor old man is drinking beer alone again, watching Yoko Okino's TV shows, without his daughter by his side. How tragic, huh?

Shinichi Kudo also perked up slightly, and after having lunch with Ran, he couldn't wait to ask, "Ran, did you ask the doctor if I can be discharged today? If I stay here any longer, I'm afraid I'll just rust away."

As childhood friends, Xiaolan knew her partner's personality well; he was never one to sit still. The fact that he cooperated and stayed in the hospital for a week was already quite good.

"Don't worry, I've already asked the doctor for you. He said you can be discharged today, but you need to go home and rest. You can't overexert yourself, and you need to take your medicine on time."

You'd better stay home quietly for a few more days and don't even think about running around, otherwise I won't forgive you. And there's something very important you shouldn't forget."

Shinichi Kudo was slightly taken aback: "Important thing? What is it? It shouldn't be your birthday yet, right?"

Upon hearing this, Xiaolan glared at him sideways and said, "You haven't forgotten, have you?"

Oh no, it's murderous intent!

Seeing Ran's current state, Shinichi Kudo knew perfectly well that Ran was angry. He quickly put his clever brain to work and soon figured out what it was about.
