Conan: I'm Really Not Tokyo Ghost Story

Whether it was Carlos himself, his teammates, or Shuichi Akai and Conan who instinctively observed the outcome of Rye's shot.

My mind was almost completely blank.

why.

Why was rye able to know Carlos's location?

Why was Rye able to pull the trigger immediately after raising the muzzle of the gun without even a second to prepare, and even hit the target accurately?

Why would a former Marine Corps ace sniper become the first victim of a gun so quickly, so easily, and so abruptly?

"Pfft!"

Carlos collapsed to the ground, blood spreading everywhere.

"..."

Damn!

Shuichi Akai reacted the fastest, almost immediately turning his gun back to Rye.

however.

Before Shuichi Akai could pull the trigger, he saw two scarlet dots suddenly light up on the misty face beneath the baseball cap. Although they were just two red dots, he had a vague feeling.

The man's eyes turned to his own eerie sense of déjà vu.

Red, eyes...

The series of changes, the suppression of momentum attributes.

Shuichi Akai's finger failed to pull the trigger immediately, missing the best opportunity... as he watched as Rye was already turned to face his gun.

Shuichi Akai didn't have time to think and lunged to the side.

"Ding!"

A few sparks flew from the spot where Shuichi Akai had been lying.

...As expected, this guy has already discovered not only Carlos's location but also his own. This is really troublesome.

Unfortunately, this guy managed to gain the advantage of the terrain.

To win... or even just hold out, I probably can't do it alone. But thankfully, there are Spencer's snipers over there.

I guess I won't ignore this guy anymore.

And indeed, it was just as Shuichi Akai had thought.

Carlos and the other snipers, apart from initially suppressing Yoshino's fire to prevent him from harming more people and escalating the situation, did not take action against Rye at the top, even after their teammates had withdrawn. There was no other reason for this.

I simply don't want to get involved in any unnecessary trouble with unknown people.

But things are different now.

Carlos was killed head-on, making a conflict between the two sides inevitable.

"Kill that guy!!"

But before these people could fire, from two other buildings of similar height...

Two faint, hidden lights flashed and disappeared in an instant.

"biu!"

"There's a sniper to the east!"

"There are some in the west too..."

...There are snipers too?

Although surprised, Shuichi Akai still took out his spare monocular telescope.

They then quickly identified two figures that they had not noticed before.

Calvados? I've never seen the other one before. Is he also part of the organization?

Tsk.

Both were top-notch snipers, though not as good as him. But these guys without Carlos weren't up to par, not to mention the former had the advantage of being there first and in a good position, clearly having been lying in ambush beforehand.

The people who were thought to be helpful are now not only useless, but two more problems have arisen. It seems there's nothing that can be done now.

Shuichi Akai frowned, then suddenly had a flash of inspiration and pinpointed Conan's location again.

The only variable right now is this guy...

Meanwhile, Conan's observation range had long since moved beyond the "battlefield".

Instead, they focused on the middle level inside the Suzuki family tower.

There were Jodie and Cameron, who rushed over after receiving Conan's call, as well as the two best friends and the four members of the Plague Squad.

...Originally, when Jodie and her partner arrived at the location, they were stopped from entering by the tower's staff. When they called Conan, he was still somewhat bewildered.

So many people have rushed to the top of the tower, how come they can't even get through the door here?

But then I thought, Judy and her duo are FBI agents after all, so they're a little more law-abiding.

That doesn't seem surprising.

However, upon hearing the "reason" given by the Tower staff at Judy's expense, Conan's expression changed—the organizers had booked the entire venue at the last minute.

Ah, Conan remembered! This afternoon, in the hospital room where Sera Masumi was staying, he discovered the key to the whole case: Suzuki Sonoko did say she would bring those kids to the Suzuki family's tower again... But why so soon?!

Of all times, this is just too unlucky!

The rye at the top, the black cat and Yoshino inside the tower, and that group of people...

Conan panicked immediately.

Ignoring the snipers firing at each other from the top of the building, he quickly used Shinichi Kudo's phone number to call Ran Mouri and tell them to take cover. Then he called Jodie and told them not to waste any more time following that pointless rule and to sneak into the tower.

But even so.

In the end, they still collided head-on.

"..."

Looking at the black cat dragging Yoshino in front of them, the group of people who had just reunited with Ran and Jodie Mouri all had solemn expressions, and the two of them even drew their guns and confronted each other.

"Put him down, Black Cat!"

...That's really troublesome.

Black Cat raised his hand and pushed up his glasses: "Can you get out of here? Don't go looking for trouble. If you can, I really don't want to get my hands dirty."

"you……"

Judy wanted to say something more, but the black cat was too lazy to waste time. As the Yoshino fell to the ground, he was already close to her.

If you don't want to put down your gun, then help her do it.

If you don't want to leave, then help her leave.

"boom!"

Judy pulled the trigger almost instinctively.

That's too slow.

Black Cat pushed Judy's hand up high, with the gun muzzle pointing upwards, and applied slight pressure with his palm.

Then I heard a "clunk".

The pistol immediately slipped from his hand and fell to the ground.

"Judy!"

Cameron, who was standing next to him, had just turned his gun away when Black Cat grabbed his wrist with his other hand. But this time, before he could exert any force, Ran Mouri followed.

"Ah ah!"

Is he trying to force me back by kicking me in mid-air, a classic case of "besieging Wei to rescue Zhao"?

The black cat's eyes remained unwavering as it twisted its waist and exerted force with its ankles.

He flung Judy and the other person in his hands into the air and then let go.

"boom!"

Cameron flew more than ten meters without any hindrance, crashing into a pillar with a muffled groan, while Judy collided with Ran Mouri.

The two landed together and slid two or three meters away.

"Xiao Lan!"

His gaze shifted.

The Plague God Squad and Sonoko Suzuki faced those condescending eyes.

His face was filled with terror.

"Ok?"

Before the situation could develop further, a turning point arrived.

Two groups of people, one chasing from behind and the other taking down the tower first, moving upwards from below.

They actually arrived here at the same time.

"...in the end, it still got dirty."

With a hint of helplessness, I lowered my head and pushed up my glasses. When I looked up again, red had spread in the black cat's eyes, and its five claws were gleaming with a cold light.

Let's finish this quickly.

Chapter 587 590, Suzuki Tower: Pawn!

Blood smeared the floor.

The various parts of twenty or thirty people were scattered all over the ground, making the scene look as horrific as if it were made up of hundreds of corpses.

And in the middle of the picture.

It was a figure that resembled a demon.
