Conan: Death is Watching Me

Chapter 332 Mysterious Assassin

Tokyo.

After a light rain, the air became very humid.

Kidd maneuvered his glider to land on the rooftop of a tall building, and quickly changed clothes and moved away amidst a cloud of smoke.

It's really dangerous.

I've never been this embarrassed before.

Someone actually offered a 15 billion bounty for a piece of information, but the problem is that he had no idea what the illusionist was all about. The only person with a clue, Hakuba Saguru, just packed his bags and ran off to a foreign country.

Should we say he was just unlucky or what?
However, after all that trouble, he managed to figure out the enemy's situation.

There were two groups chasing him: one group just wanted to capture him, and the other group wanted to kill him.

The former should be those bounty hunters, the latter...

Kaito Kuroba felt even more unlucky.

He stole diamonds from an art museum, and even though he returned them, the museum owner wouldn't let it go. Those assassins must have been his men.

It's a trouble I brought upon myself.

He wanted to figure out the specific reason why he was being hunted down, but the first group of people was giving him a huge headache, much more troublesome than the assassins.

Especially that guy who's supposedly the father of the illusionist Spider.

Spider I, a veteran assassin suspected of hunting down his father eight years ago.

His mother specifically reminded him to be careful, as the other party could perform lucid hypnosis without any props.

"I wonder if sunglasses will work?"

Kaito Kuroba quickly descended the stairs with his back against the stairwell and soon escaped into a nearby alley.

Safety……

"waste!"

A black sedan pulled up to the side of the road. The middle-aged Spider-Man got out of the car in a rage, his face growing even colder as he looked at the bounty hunters who had missed their target.

"Change the bounty: kill Kidd no matter who the murderer is! Any method is acceptable!"

Realizing that it would be difficult to capture Kid alive, the middle-aged Spider-Man turned to the idea of ​​making Kid pay with his son's life.

After all, his son was killed while trying to assassinate Kid.

"Isn't there another assassination target? Find that guy for me!"

“But boss,” the subordinate in black explained, “Kid has already caused quite a stir. If we continue to intervene, it might cause more trouble. Besides, he’s just a detective…”

"Who cares who he is," the middle-aged spider-man's eyes flashed with a faint red light, and he grinned cruelly. "Don't worry, there won't be any trouble. I'll make sure he dies peacefully."

"Zizi!"

The streetlights next to him suddenly flickered a few times. The middle-aged Spider-Man frowned slightly, turned around as if sensing something, and found an ordinary passerby uncle wearing a coat.

Are you a bounty hunter too?

The middle-aged spider-man asked with a cold laugh.

At this time, the only people still here besides the bounty hunters are the drunkards. The person in front of him looks like an ordinary person, but he still gives him a faint sense of threat.

Not just a bounty hunter, but also a fellow professional—a hitman.

"Your target isn't me, is it?" The middle-aged spider-man laughed loudly, and the next moment his eyes glowed red again.

Interesting, someone actually has their eye on him, a top assassin.

Is Kidd still that cowardly murderer?

"call!"

Gao Mo walked past the middle-aged spider-man like a gentle breeze, completely unaffected by the illusion or hypnosis.

They claimed they wouldn't use any props, but they still wore special colored contact lenses in their eyes.

Even without divine eyes and immunity, it would be difficult to hypnotize him.

"Boom!"

Two gunshots rang out in the night behind us.

The spider-man with glowing eyes stood like a statue as Gao Mo walked away. Before his men could ask any questions, he drew his pistol, killed one of them, and then shot him in the head.

"what?"

Kaito Kuroba, who escaped through the alley, witnessed the Spider Man's death in its entirety, and felt a chill run down his spine. It was too eerie.

Spider-Man suddenly became possessed, as if an invisible hand was controlling him to kill and then commit suicide.

Hypnosis?
But that guy is clearly a top-tier illusion assassin.

"Just who is this guy?"

Watching Gao Mo disappear at the end of the street, Kidd didn't dare to move for a long time.

"Was it the masked man who saved me?"

……

Kido Detective Agency.

Ai was watching TV in the living room while holding her black cat when she heard the door in the entryway open, and her ears twitched slightly.

"Did you kill someone?"

"What murder?" Gao Mo took off his coat, went to the kitchen and took out a bottle of cola. "I've never even killed a bug."

“But just now, that assassin organization abruptly withdrew the bounty,” Xiao Ai said suspiciously, opening her phone. “The number 3 on the assassin list was also suddenly declared dead.”

"A killer ranking list? There's such a thing?"

Gao Mo took the phone and saw a list. The number 3 "Blood Spider" had turned gray.

After the update, an assassin with an unknown code name suddenly appeared in third place.

"The mysterious killer suspected of murdering the Spider father and son, and the deaths of other killers such as Scorpion, Silver Fox, and Pramia may also be related to him, and he is suspected of having some kind of connection with Phantom Thief Kid..."

Upon seeing the assassin's contact information, Gao Mo's brows furrowed.

What and what?
Are you talking about him?
However, the projected notes did include the assassin profession, with assassin level 4, starting at level 4.

It saved a lot of stars.

Gao Mo returned the phone to Xiao Ai and left humming a tune amidst Xiao Ai's puzzled gaze.

Finally, I don't have to suffer starting from level 1 to do quests anymore.

Ultimately, it's the assassin profession; only combat record and professional skills matter.

The only strange thing is that it doesn't extract each keyword individually.

[Killer Talent 4]

Gao Mo paused, then suddenly turned to Ai and asked, "Do you know who's ranked 1st and 2nd?"

If killing the third-ranked enemy yields such a huge reward, could the first two enemies help him level up to level 5?

"What do you want to do?" Xiao Ai lowered her eyelids. "Those assassins are organized, they're very troublesome."

"I'm just asking."

"I don't know, how could you think I know anything about the assassin world?"

Xiao Ai sat back down, remained silent for a while, then turned and called out to Gao Mo.

"If we hire someone, we might be able to find them, but the chances are slim."

"Does it cost money? Hiring a hitman like that requires a hefty deposit..."

Gao Mo calculated his savings.

He can worry about upgrading his assassin skills later; for now, he should focus on dealing with Death's Agent.

“Kido,” Ai brushed a strand of hair that was obstructing her vision, “I may be nagging, but I still want to remind you to think twice before you do anything. I don’t want to be alone anymore.”

"Meow~" the black cat also meowed.

"Don't worry," Gao Mo laughed, "I'm more likely to survive than any of you, and I would never abandon you."

Gao Mo returned to his study, his fingers resting on the borrowed books about death. After a brief moment of distraction, he quickly flipped through them one by one.

The notebook has existed for 10 years, and there may be related records in the documents of this world. Perhaps we can find a way to deal with Death.

There's also some information provided by Ai.

Just because Ai's parents and the distillery couldn't find anything doesn't mean he couldn't find any clues.

Gao Mo closed his eyes, and suddenly the image of Gao Yuanyao appeared in his mind again.

The other party had come to see him specifically before, which seemed to have a deeper meaning. At least at that time, Gao Yuanyao still had his own consciousness.
