The Phantom Thief of Heart! But Conan.

"...It's truly spectacular. However, is it reasonable to be able to enter a submerged pyramid from the middle of its side?"

Looking down, he saw that the water stains on his body had disappeared as his clothes automatically changed, and Matsuda Jinpei complained.

"It's already soaked upside down in the water, and you're still discussing whether it's reasonable or not. Then how do you explain the glass installation in the pyramid?" Kenji Hagiwara, who had dragged his vehicle into the door with difficulty, slapped him.

With their current team configuration, the two people most likely to be affected by the underwater palace are them.

After all, one is a mask entirely related to fire, while the other's mask form is inseparable from the basic concept of vehicle.

Trying to get a ride into the water is incredibly difficult, much more difficult than diving itself.

"Firstly, there's still a lack of evidence to prove whether this relic's real-world prototype is related to the ancient Egyptian pyramids. Secondly, a proper pyramid can be entered from the side," Zhufu Jingguang defended Binga's wild imagination. "To prevent intrusion, many pyramids have entrances located 20 to 30 meters above the ground, making it difficult for intruders to climb up and more likely to be discovered."

"Really? When I traveled to Egypt, I entered through the ground entrance?" Shimabukuro Kunie thought with her chin in her hand.

"The pyramid ruins that are now open to the public are basically the ones that were dug later... So you've been to Egypt, right?"

"Look at what you're saying. I already said I returned to my hometown a while after graduating from university. It's not like I've been secluded on an island and never left the house. It's just because I feel I should shoulder the family's mission, not because we don't have the conditions to travel abroad..."

The group joked and chatted as they passed through the double-layer entrance of the maintenance passage and stepped into the maintenance corridor.

Perhaps it was because Binga's main job at the center was a programmer. Although this road was an undetectable invasion channel designed by him after careful observation, the degree of distortion was not very deep. The material on the ground was replaced by stone slabs instead of metal in reality, but the facilities and basic decoration colors were still the same as the Pacific Buoy itself.

This also means that it is difficult for them to find any useful information on this level and they have to continue looking for an exit.

Paying attention to the information transmitted by the mobile phone, Asai Narumi, who acted as the temporary commander, quickly made a judgment.

"This floor won't be frequented by anyone else. Today is the crucial testing day for their security center's official connection to the European surveillance network. Key staff will be concentrated in the work and living areas, so the maintenance floor won't be frequented. Let's go up from here."

"If it weren't for this reason, they wouldn't have chosen to kidnap the algorithm developer today." Miyano Akemi nodded in agreement, flicking her wrist and still holding the weapon in her hand. "However, based on Binga's understanding, this will also be the direction of evacuation after completing the mission. So, unless there are unexpected circumstances..."

"There's an energy reaction above. Something is approaching, take cover."

As if to confirm her statement, the next moment, Noah's figure appeared beside them.

"Tsk, 'hidden'."

Jinpei Matsuda glanced at his teammates and did not choose to find a convenient hiding place. Instead, he took out his pistol.

Theoretically, hiding now is indeed a wiser choice, and this is not a mandatory battle. However, from an intelligence perspective, this is a good opportunity to spy on Binga's understanding of Vermouth and Bourbon.

It's also a good opportunity to beat the crap out of someone - even if it's a fake of a fake.

Thinking this in his mind, he pulled the trigger without hesitation when facing the shadow carrying something and moving downwards.

"What a coincidence, it happens when Shade isn't around. Forget it, let's just defeat them head-on. Lunar and Spy, fall back!"

----

"Hey, where's Naomi-san?"

Seeing Tang Ze walking in with a heavy load, Conan went up to him and took a few cups of coffee for him. He looked behind him, but only saw Grace following him.

The police who stayed in the center and Makino Yosuke were still discussing the topic, which had just moved on to the core technology part. Without Naomi, the direct developer of the R&D patent, it would be difficult to explain.

"Just now in the tea room, she accidentally touched Miss Grace's coffee, stained her sleeve, and went to the bathroom."

Tang Ze explained for Binga and then handed the coffee to the corresponding people one by one.

"Thank you." Ed took the coffee from him, looked at the cup, took a sip, and was a little surprised. "There are no labels, and you can actually tell which cup was ordered by whom..."

"Yes, I have a good memory." Tang Ze smiled and guessed the reason why he asked.

Maybe Conan's question at this time was completely different from what an elementary school student would ask. The engineers guessed that the two students who unexpectedly appeared here might be heading in a direction similar to Naomi's.

Naomi graduated from school at the age of 18, and was already working as a central engineer here at the age of 19. Seeing how friendly she was communicating with the two of them, it was hard not to think in a strange direction.

"Then you are quite impressive..."

Feeling that he had grasped the clue, Ed nodded in understanding and said nothing more.

All in all, he is not someone to be trifled with, so don't provoke him easily like Reinhardt.

"The cross-age recognition technology is truly impressive." After watching them demonstrate a few times, Shiratori Jinzaburo adjusted his social tone and offered some compliments before moving on to the question, "Can facial orthopedics be used to predict what you'll look like when you grow up?"

"I know that scholars studying anthropology can indeed create possible facial models based on skeletons, but this is the first time I've seen it done so quickly," Kuroda Bei continued. "How is it achieved?"

"This is primarily Naomi's responsibility. She used AI technology, based on anatomy, anthropology, and data samples from multiple universities and research institutes, to comprehensively calculate it. This is also why Naomi has extremely high heat dissipation requirements for the computer room... I'd like to ask Naomi for more details..."

Makino Yosuke clicked the mouse and closed the program on the desktop, glancing towards the door out of the corner of his eye.

He knows some technology, but in his work here, he is mainly responsible for management rather than development.

He couldn't say more about the more detailed and essential technical content, so Naomi had to explain it.

Binjia seized the opportunity and took two steps forward, blocking Makino Yosuke's sight.

"Although still photos were used during testing, this system truly relies on video images. AI's biggest obstacle when it comes to images is cognitive understanding, and dynamic content is easier to interpret three-dimensional structures than static content. Naomi and I discussed this, and after multiple calculations, we determined that multi-angle images longer than 15 seconds were the easiest to obtain accurate results, so she ultimately chose to capture surveillance footage..."

While talking about some random nonsense, he secretly calculated the time in his mind.

As long as the people coming from the organization are not useless, this time difference is enough for them to take Naomi Argento away.

The plan was foolproof, and he had confirmed it with Rum in advance. The people who would complete the plan were Vermouth and Bourbon, masters who had never made a mistake and would not cause any problems in such a simple task.

But for some reason, he felt anxious and uneasy, as if something had been taken away...

----

"Now I can confirm it." Releasing the bowstring and hanging the arrow back on his back, Asai Narimi complained rudely, "As far as I know, Binga knows nothing about the organization."

He went undercover five years ago, so it's understandable that he's not very familiar with Bourbon.

But what kind of thinking could make him judge that Vermouth was just a pretty face?

Not to mention their combat effectiveness, according to Noah's intelligence, these two shadows showed a tendency to try to escape many times during the battle, forcing them to distract themselves and control their opponents to prevent them from running away directly, and thus turning into a chase.

"Maybe he's anxious for them to take Miss Naomi away."

After beating someone up, Matsuda Jinpei was in high spirits and opened the treasure chest in front of him without any hesitation.

The object carried by the two shadows turned into a dazzling treasure chest after landing. Although it did not emit the aura of a secret treasure, it looked like an important item.

After a burst of exaggerated technological special effects, the items in the treasure chest were finally revealed.

"It's the key."

Bending down to fish something out from the bottom of the treasure chest, Miyano Akemi looked at the metal object in her hand and frowned.

The pyramid hall they were in belonged to Binga, and for Binga, whose authority was second only to Makino Yosuke and Naomi, there was no need for him to lock the place specially.

So, could this key be used to open the central database or something? After all, Naomi symbolically represents the target he hopes to plunder, that is, this identification system...

"Notify Shade." After squinting his eyes for a moment, Matsuda Jinpei made a judgment. "My intuition tells me that this thing might be useful outside."

This is a slightly vague statement, but it is easy to understand for others who have been working together for a long time.

What he meant was that the key was not a secret treasure, but it either had a corresponding concrete object in reality - similar to the replica egg of memory that Tang Ze had taken out, or it would appear in another form like a secret treasure.

"Okay, I'll ask him to come get it."

"Hurry up, we need to find the nearest safe house first..."

----

"Mr. Makino, it's almost break time!"

The staff member who was keeping an eye on the time shouted a reminder, interrupting Makino Yosuke who was discussing the surveillance installation issue with Kuroda Heibei.

Perhaps he was made uneasy by the National Police Agency surveillance footage that Naomi showed him during her demonstration, and the two of them talked for a long time about whether they could use all police surveillance footage and whether higher security permissions should be set for some cameras.

The two people with different opinions could not convince each other, and this sudden interruption actually saved Makino Yosuke.

"Okay, time for the next round of testing." Makino Yosuke nodded and quickly returned to his seat. "Next, we need to complete the network latency test and the compatibility check of the equipment and systems..."

As he spoke, his eyes swept over everyone present and he suddenly realized something.

"By the way, where's Naomi? Why hasn't she come back yet?"

Because he guessed that the Japanese police might be arguing over some issues, he relaxed their rest time, so Tang Ze and others had time to slowly complete everyone's customization requirements.

But all in all, that happened more than ten or twenty minutes ago. No matter how much you need to solve personal problems, you should go back to your workstation.

"Troublesome woman, could she be thinking of something else?"

Reinhardt, who had always been at odds with Naomi, grumbled unhappily, tapped his fingers on the keyboard a few times, and quickly activated the center's surveillance to start searching directly.

Kurodabei glanced at him obscurely.

Well, this was an important part of the security loophole that he and Makino Yosuke had just argued about.

Following Reinhardt's operation, the center's corridor surveillance quickly unfolded on the screen, and Naomi's face appeared on the screen.

"12 minutes ago?" Looking at the timestamp in the lower left corner of the screen, Makino Yosuke felt something was wrong and stood up immediately.

"And it's a scene of her entering the bathroom." Ed quickly flipped through the content and added, "She doesn't come out."

Naomi has always been a hard-working genius. She never has a free and easy moment and has a strong sense of time.

Whether they passed out directly in the restroom or in some other situation, it means something is wrong.

"After she went in, two support staff members entered the women's restroom one after another." Ed played the footage at double speed, catching the next figure entering. "They left two minutes later."

Makino Yosuke, who had a premonition, tightened his expression and immediately began to track the two people whose facial information could not be collected. The next image he retrieved made his heart skip a beat.

"They appeared on the dry deck. Why? This doesn't make sense... There haven't been any tasks assigned to the dry deck recently, and the daily cleaning hasn't even started yet..."

Almost everyone in the control room stood up, and Conan almost pounced on the screen, staring at the cleaning cart pushed by two people, as if he wanted to stare a hole in it.

With his lips still touching the edge of the coffee cup, Tang Ze looked up at the screen, where Amuro Toru's recognizable skin color was slightly visible from the brim of his hat.

Fortunately, the Pacific Buoy is an international facility, otherwise, this would have been easily exposed...

Just as he was thinking, he felt something pulling his wrist.

Tang Ze, who had his hand on the table beside him, immediately realized that it was Xingchuan Teru who was pulling him. He calmly let his hand drop naturally and disappeared into the shadow on the side of the table.

The next second, a slightly cool metal object fell heavily into his hand.

Tang Ze shifted his center of gravity, made a gesture of changing hands to hold the coffee cup, and took the opportunity to take a look at what was in his hand.

A long and thin USB flash drive.
