Phantom Thief of Heart!but conan

Chapter 1085 Carnival
Suddenly someone jumped up next to me, on a building more than 40 stories high. The thrill of it is hard to describe in a few words.

Almost reflexively, Pramya pulled out his spare gun from his leg and pointed it at Tangze.

Tang Ze just turned his head and looked at her, then let her pull the trigger without dodging.

The next second, the gun that had worked so well on Scobin caused the Russian wanted criminal, who was doing something similar, to suffer the same fate.

"what--"

Covering her forehead which suddenly began to hurt, Pramiya fell to the ground, unable to suppress a howl.

"I've said this before, but unfortunately not many people understand." Tang Ze's eyes swept over Furuya Rei, Conan, and several teammates who came out to support their old friend, and then looked at Pramia, "My ability is indeed extraordinary, but I am by no means an exception. The reason why I stood up to become the Joker is because..."

Tangze stretched out his foot to step on Pramya's falling gun, making sure that she had no chance to suddenly attack, and then he finished the second half of the riddle.

"...I am the cause of everything, I am the real origin, and more importantly, I am a mirror. Those who have good intentions will receive good intentions, and those who go astray will eventually return. And people like you," Tang Ze raised his hand and pointed at the place on his forehead where she had just shot him, "will naturally only receive malice."

"What nonsense are you talking about..." Pramiya's eyes twitched wildly as she covered her forehead which was beating wildly as if pierced by a hot bullet.

"You don't have to force yourself to talk. It's okay. You can't stand up in pain, right?" Tang Ze tilted his head and laughed, "You are not as good as Scobin in this respect."

She is indeed well-trained and talented in many areas, but this is the bomber's fatal weakness.

Due to the nature of their crimes, they almost never appear at any scene themselves, do not have direct conflicts with others, and their practical experience is very limited.

"...You are pretending to be something." Pramiya's eyes twitched. "Don't talk like you are a messenger of justice. It's disgusting."

Because these words are just for showing off.

Tang Ze’s main purpose was not to explain anything to her. Anyone who could explain his motives for committing a crime in a rambling way is a villain.

His main purpose was to say a few more words and delay time.

However, Pramiya's cowardice was so obvious that the policemen who had finally managed to break open the rooftop door were stunned.

"Your information on the underworld is quite insightful." Tang Ze was not surprised by Pramya's retreat. He raised his eyebrows and said, "Business on the dark web isn't that easy, is it?"

Scobin was first handed over to the intelligence department by Tang Ze, and then sent to the organization, but in name, she fled and disappeared for fear of crime.

Pramiya's reaction clearly showed that she knew Scobin would end badly.

"Well, now that you understand, there's no need for me to explain further."

Tang Ze said this, stepped onto the edge of the rooftop, and opened his arms as if it was the opening of a performance.

"To be honest, I've been having a headache for a while about how to deal with you. Considering that you've caused so many vicious incidents, and they're so tragic, letting you live is itself a kind of disrespect to the victims. Especially..."

Tang Ze said this and looked at Erenica who was running up behind Sato Miwako and others.

The woman with short blond hair was stunned when she saw him, obviously not understanding why the group of people who kidnapped them came here again. However, after hearing his words, Erenica instinctively tightened her arms and grabbed the gun in her hand.

"...After witnessing the experiences of so many eyewitnesses." Tang Ze retracted his gaze and looked at Pramiya, who was covering her forehead with fierce eyes. "You chose Ms. Elenica as the main target of revenge because of her identity. As long as your plan today succeeds, she will be a perfect replacement."

Through Noah's broadcast, they now knew everything about Erenika's tortuous and painful past.

Erinika's husband is a public prosecutor who prosecuted a politician's son for murder, and the whole family was threatened. Pramya was the one who put this threat into practice for a reward.

Her son died in the bombing that targeted her husband, and if Erinika herself had not left the house for an accident, she would have died at home as well.

He came from a wealthy family, suffered a great disaster, was disfigured by a fire, and has never stopped pursuing the murderer for so many years. This is a perfect image of a victim.

"But if I really kill you like this, it doesn't seem so appropriate. The crimes you committed involve too many secrets. I want to investigate the real masterminds and make them pay the price. It seems that you shouldn't die so easily..."

This time, Tangze looked in the direction of Furukaya Rei and Conan, as well as the policemen who were still standing there in a daze because there were inexplicably so many people on the rooftop.

Just as what happened to Erenika, Pramya was indeed an antisocial bomber, but she was just a tool.

This tool is indeed lethal and hateful, but the buyers who hire killers through underground transactions are the ones who should be retaliated against and targeted.

If she were allowed to die so easily, perhaps it would satisfy some people's wishes.

"This is really a difficult decision. So after thinking about it, I think it's better to respect your idea..." Facing Pramya's gloomy blue eyes, Tang Ze curled the corners of his mouth.

"The carnival that we worked so hard to prepare ends before it even begins. Isn't that a bit of a waste?"

----

"So, how long do we have to wait?"

Pushing the wizard hat on her head and wiping the sweat off her face, Rena Mizuno let out a breath.

As for the plan, no matter which side it was on, she didn't know much about it.

Shuichi Akai and Conan seemed to have discussed a lot about how to carry out a reasonable fake death.

Tang Ze seemed to have his own plans, otherwise he would not have come to her and asked her to wear the locator today.

Rena Mizunashi was prepared to play a key role in many places, but she never expected that an entire afternoon would pass and she would be standing at the Shibuya intersection until she was almost moldy, but she had not received any instructions.

This gave her a subtle, bad feeling.

If I really need to play a key role, but lack any initiative, does that mean that in this plan...

"coming."

A voice rang in her ears, and Mizunashi Rena turned her head sharply, but failed to catch anything.

All she saw was the blue pumpkin lantern hanging high above her head, which suddenly shattered under the illumination of the light strip.

----

“Let me, let me pass—”

"Don't crowd, hurry up, follow the evacuation direction and leave quickly--"

Curacao raised his hands to block out the screams of tourists that kept pouring into his ears, and raised his head with difficulty to look at the road ahead.

On the crowded streets of Shibuya, jack-o'-lanterns began to explode one after another.

The tourists were a little confused at first, but after they smelled the pungent odor of chemicals, the atmosphere quickly turned to fear.

So when Curacao walked through the outer area of ​​the traffic control area and arrived in Shibuya, the crowd was in complete chaos. Even with the police who had prepared emergency plans to evacuate and guide, Curacao still had a hard time trying to move against the flow of people.

She raised her head, and a faint light appeared in her heterochromatic eyes.

In her clear memory, she still remembered the locations of those red dots.

Curacao and Bourbon were in a high-rise office building near the intersection, while Kiel was standing on the street at Shibuya Crossing.

Because her current identity is the popular host of Nichimi TV and a very popular columnist, Mizunashi Rena...

Whatever Kumail is going to do, it's going to happen in that place.

He must be stopped...

This is Shibuya on Halloween. If an explosion occurs, the consequences will be disastrous.

Even if the purpose is to weaken the organization, he cannot do this...

"Please, please, please make way——"

----

The pumpkin lanterns broke one after another, and two-colored liquids fell down.

Because the amount prepared by Pramya was so large, a layer of liquid accumulated on the ground in a very short time.

More pumpkin lanterns continued to burst. It would only take a short time for the intersection of Shibuya to explode due to the collision of two liquids, causing an unprecedented explosion...

"Even if we have prepared enough neutralizing agents, it is unrealistic to completely stop the explosion at this time, right?" Yuya Kazami grabbed the electric pole with difficulty, controlled his body, and squeezed out a sentence from his lungs.

"No, according to the current trend, it shouldn't get too serious..." The team member standing next to him whispered, "Didn't Tang Ze make preparations in advance?"

As he spoke, he looked at the giant pumpkin man about four or five meters tall that was planted on the side of the street at the intersection.

This decoration should not have been approved in the first place.

Placing such an obstruction on a pedestrian street with such a large flow of people not only fails to provide much decorative effect, but can also easily cause accidents once it is damaged.

There must be a reason why it is placed here.

...Although I don't know why Tang Ze is so confident that it will be destroyed before the explosion occurs, and it will be in time to stop the spread of the explosion...

"…Now, I can only trust him."

----

Before Plumia could react, Tangze, who was already standing on the edge of the rooftop, opened his arms.

Before anyone could react, he leaned back without hesitation and fell.

Feeling the huge pulling force and the feeling of weightlessness, Pramiya's mind went blank for a moment, and then she realized that the white-haired boy had wrapped his scarf around her ankles at the moment of falling.

She was dragged by Joker and fell down.

Looking down from a high place, the crowd in Shibuya was dispersing in all directions, with the intersection as the center.

Bright liquid slowly seeped out from under the feet of the crowd and gathered towards the central area of ​​the intersection as she had originally planned.

I never expected that after this guy's long speech, the final conclusion would be to drag her to jump off the building together...

Pramya, knowing full well what was going to happen next, screamed hysterically out of fear.

"Madman—are you, are you fucking crazy?! Playing with your life here?!"

Tang Ze, who was lying on his back, looked at her ugly and ferocious expression and a genuine smile appeared on his face.

He even stretched out his hand, as if inviting her to dance, and held Pramiya's left hand, which was too weak to wave.

"That's a good expression. Compared to regret, this expression suits you better."

"Let go, damn it, let me go - ah -"

The liquid bombs made by Pramya have gathered in the middle of the road.

High heat energy is instantly generated in the reaction.

"Boom-bang!"

"Hey - joker -"

Conan, feeling that this scene was familiar, rushed to the edge of the rooftop and looked down in astonishment.

To be more precise, not only him, but also Rei Furuya who was also standing very close, and even those "resurrected" policemen who were suspected to be related to Joker, all rushed to the edge of the platform and looked down, obviously not expecting this scene.

Below, where a violent explosion should have occurred, was much quieter than he had imagined.

Perhaps it was the impact of the crowd, or perhaps someone did it on purpose, the tall inflatable pumpkin man standing at the intersection was slowly deflation.

Blue liquid flowed out from the gap, flowing across the sidewalk, across the curb, along the cables laid on the ground, slowly surrounding the intersection.

There is no doubt that this is what Yuya Kazami, who had contacted him in advance, meant when he said, "Arrangements have been made."

Pramya's plan had already been seen through by the detective, and those who should be prepared had already been prepared. Naturally, Pramya's vicious plan would not work.

On the contrary, Conan tried to use this chaos to create a reasonable reason for Rena Mizunashi to "exit".

- If a serious security incident occurred in the central area of ​​Shibuya, so serious that the TV station's live broadcast was suddenly interrupted, then it would be reasonable for the host in charge of the live broadcast to have an accident, right?

However, to Conan's surprise, Joker did not disappear as usual, he was still missing.

The red scarf extended from his neck and held Pramya tightly.

Behind him, on the central street of Shibuya, the flames were confined to a very small area by the blue neutralizer. The eerie flames burned, spreading outward in layers like a blooming water lily.

Joker dragged the screaming Pramia down and fell into the center of the sea of ​​fire, as if falling into the embrace of a flower.
