Once the sniper on the rooftop is spotted, the police will immediately engage him in a firefight, which will attract everyone's main force. You, hidden inside the building, can use the sound of the gunfire as cover.

Furthermore, taking advantage of Chairman Morita Einobu's optimistic assessment of the situation, he approached the destroyed floor-to-ceiling window, where one bullet had already been fired, and sniped the enemy again. It was truly a brilliant plan.

Both Hakuba Saguru and Hattori Heiji had a glint in their eyes.

This plan seems simple, but it's a mix of truth and deception, taking full advantage of people's blind spots in thinking. After all, anyone who discovers a sniper's trail through a series of efforts will become a little overconfident.

But at that moment, the sniper let out a cold laugh.

"You guys are indeed good, but we overlooked one thing. Did you think that sniping would stop after I left the sniper rifle?"

At that moment, a firing sound came from the sniper rifle, which had already been positioned correctly.

"Boom-boom-"

Two bullets were fired in less than a second, heading straight for the sniper target!

Chapter 229 Spider Attack (3rd Update)

"What? This is..."

Hakuba Saguru, Hattori Heiji, and Inspector Takagi all had their expressions change drastically at that moment.

"It's an automatic activation device. Many skilled snipers install this device on their sniper rifles. It can be activated automatically or remotely. And there was just a shot fired. Was there a third sniper rifle?"

The moment the sniper rifle was fired, its immense power instantly tore the outer window apart. Taking advantage of their moment of surprise and uncertainty, Mills leaped into the gap.

Immediately afterwards, a paraglider rose into the night sky, and everyone could only watch helplessly as it disappeared into the darkness.

"This is bad! We need to quickly check on the Morita family!"

Hattori Heiji was extremely anxious. Although he had great faith in Miyazaki Yu's abilities, those were two sniper rifles, and powerful anti-material sniper rifles at that!

Such a sniper rifle is actually no less powerful than a typical small-caliber artillery piece.

In other words, this gun does not require absolute accuracy; it only needs to land near a person to kill them.

Therefore, the mastermind behind the scenes has always been remotely controlling the sniper rifles, and the snipers are just pawns used to improve sniping accuracy and increase the success rate of sniping.

When the two powerful bullets fell, everything seemed to be set in stone!

However, everyone in the hall witnessed a terrifying moment.

Returning to a few minutes earlier, in the lobby, everyone saw that the police were already engaged in combat with the criminals, and Inspector Megure had confirmed over the radio that the sniper on the roof had been arrested.

This made everyone completely relax.

Kogoro Mouri sneered, "These guys are really depraved. They actually dare to use such a powerful anti-material sniper rifle in the city. Such a crime deserves to be punished a hundred times over."

Inspector Megure nodded in agreement: "These people dared to provoke the police, which is beyond the scope of ordinary criminals. We caught one person this time, and perhaps we can use him as a breakthrough. We owe a lot to Hakuba Saguru and Hattori Heiji."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, thinking the crisis was over, but Conan was still deep in thought.

“Something’s not right. This building is the most suitable sniping location in the vicinity. It seems logical that the other side would place the sniping location here, but the traces of doing so are too heavy and it would be easy for someone to discover it.”

Damn it, I wanted to go there to check it out, but Ran kept a close eye on me and I couldn't leave. I wonder if Hattori Heiji and the others have made any new discoveries.

At this moment, his gaze fell on Miyazaki Yu, who had been standing by the window.

"This guy is exceptionally sensitive to killing intent. He hasn't left that place, so the killing intent he sensed shouldn't have disappeared. Could the enemy have a backup plan?"

At that moment, Chairman Morita Einobu walked towards Miyazaki Hajime.

"Miyazaki-san, the alarm has been lifted, so we don't need to stand there anymore. Let's continue enjoying our food."

Just as he reached the French windows, two bullets flew toward him, one after the other.

All anyone could hear was a deafening roar as the massive French windows shattered!

Countless fragments flew everywhere, and these fragments alone had all turned into sharp weapons, like small knives, shooting out in all directions.

Everyone was stunned and stood there dumbfounded. Or rather, their brains had already processed what was happening, but their bodies hadn't had time to react!

In that split second, the figure at the very front moved.

The huge table where everyone was eating suddenly stood up and blocked their way.

At this point, only two people remained in danger: Miyazaki Yu and Chairman Morita himself.

At that moment, a dazzling sword light appeared.

No one can describe just how fast and fierce this sword strike was.

But when the sword reappeared in sight, Miyazaki Yu's body was already blocking Chairman Morita's way.

"Miyazaki! x2"

"Little Feather!"

The girls, who had been sheltered by the table, rushed out in a panic.

"Hide well, don't come out!"

Miyazaki Yu's voice rang out again, and two crisp sounds of spent cartridge cases hitting the ground echoed from the ground.

From Chairman Morita's perspective, however, the shock was beyond measure.

The two menacing bullets were firmly held back by Miyazaki Yu's sword, just as the sword was clashing with two spears. The spear tips were tightly gripping the blade, but they were running out of steam and could no longer advance.

"Don't panic, everyone. I'm fine. Miyazaki-san was slightly injured, but it's nothing serious."

After offering a few words of comfort to everyone, Morita Eishin hurriedly retreated. He had been sniped because he had stepped into the sniper's field of vision, and now he was there to do nothing but be a burden.

Therefore, ensuring one's own safety is the only way to take further action.

However, Miyazaki Yu was also in a terrible state at this time, with his clothes torn and tattered by broken glass all over his body.

However, none of these fragments could truly harm him; what truly injured him was the blade of the sword in his hand!

He hadn't expected that this anti-material sniper rifle would be so incredibly powerful.

His all-out sword strike, while blocking the attack of two bullets, had a tremendous penetrating force, and the fact that they arrived one after the other created a force difference that caused him to lose his grip on the sword for a moment.

The Yokogakure Blade was originally a single-edged blade. In order to block bullets without damaging the blade, he used the side that was not fully sharpened to block the bullets. It had something similar to the back of a blade.

This means that one side of the sword's blade is actually pointed at oneself!

In the instant he lost his grip, the blade spun back, and he could only use his left hand to press down on the blade. At that moment, a deep wound appeared on his left palm.

However, not much blood flowed from the wound. The muscles on both sides of the wound were moving rapidly and connecting the torn muscle bundles together!

It was like a severed sago palm being rapidly reconnected, and the blood was quickly drawn back together due to the muscle contractions.

But at that moment, the surroundings suddenly plunged into darkness.

"The power is out?"

Having just experienced such danger, everyone was now suddenly faced with darkness, causing some panic. However, Kogoro Mouri and Ran, being seasoned veterans, quickly regained their composure.

"Everyone, don't move around, calm down as soon as possible!"

Upon hearing Kogoro Mouri's words, everyone calmed down and regained their composure. Conan couldn't help but praise him in his heart.

"It seems that Uncle does have a formidable side after all."

Just then, a strange sound rang out.

"Hehehe, I really didn't expect that two powerful bullets couldn't kill a high-ranking senator. However, since I've taken action, your fate is already sealed."

Before the words were finished, a huge spider web appeared in the air, just like a magical artifact of gods and demons in legends. The huge spider web floated in the air.

At that moment, three blood-red eyes lit up in the darkness, and a sense of dread instantly washed over them!

Chapter 230 The Spider of Fear

People are always afraid of the unknown, and when suddenly encountering such a supernatural imagination, they are instantly enveloped by fear.

Three eyes, emitting a terrifying red light, appeared in the darkness like an unknown monster.

Soon, everyone's eyes adjusted to the darkness, and with the help of the faint moonlight, they were able to see the specific situation around them. There was a tall and slender figure standing in mid-air, and he was wearing a strange device on his head with three red glasses-like devices on it.

The device was emitting an eerie red light, and behind it was a huge spider web.

The figure hovering in the air resembled a legendary spider monster, looking down upon the crowd.

"Chairman Morita, today is your end. Take my judgment with you and go to hell!"

As he spoke, a huge flame suddenly appeared on his palm. The flame was orange-red, and a strange and ferocious face appeared on it.

It was as if countless vengeful spirits were twisting and struggling in the flames, trying to escape. Everyone's eyes were stunned by this bizarre scene.

"I can't move! How could this happen? I can't move at all!"

This was Xiaolan's true feeling at that moment. Her whole body felt as if it had been poured with cement, and she couldn't move an inch.

Kogoro, Conan, and the others were in the same situation at this moment.

Conan was internally screaming, "Move!"

However, his body felt as if it were being crushed by a huge rock.

They could only watch helplessly as the eerie flames began to twist and distort in their vision.

And it headed toward Chairman Morita Einobu, the flames transforming into a ferocious demon head, about to swallow Chairman Morita whole.

Just then, a long rainbow stretched across the sky, like a rainbow dispelling the gloom. In an instant, the rain stopped and the sky cleared. The eerie ghost head froze in mid-air, and to everyone's astonishment, it was instantly divided into more than a dozen pieces, just like a sliced ​​cake.

Everyone felt a blur before their eyes, and all the flames and the giant spider web vanished instantly, leaving everyone astonished.

"What happened? Was that just an illusion? But it seems like everyone else saw an illusion too. Could it be that this person pulled everyone into the illusion in an instant?"

Inspector Megure also realized what was happening and immediately drew his gun, aiming it at the mysterious figure. He was extremely tense, as the unpredictable nature of this strange individual brought an unprecedented sense of oppression to the veteran detective.

But he knew he could not back down even a step; he carried a heavy responsibility on his shoulders.

"You actually broke through my illusion and escaped it completely! How is that possible!" the mysterious figure exclaimed.

As one of the world's top assassins, he has always been very arrogant. Apart from encountering some minor troubles when he met the Phantom Thief Kid, no one has been able to affect his hunting.

But the person in front of me is different!

His spirit was like a rock. No matter how his illusions tried to shake it, it was as if he were trying to shake a boulder with his palm. No matter how hard he tried, it was ineffective. Instead, his own spirit was now emitting sharp pains.

This is the feeling of mental backlash, which can also be understood as overworking the brain, similar to taking a math exam for three days and three nights in a row, leaving the brain feeling swollen and painful.
