The Phantom Thief of Heart! But Conan.

On the other side of the world, Vermouth was shaking her wine glass while closing the contents on some panels. At this time, the submarine's torpedoes were reloaded and fired towards the Pacific buoy.

Without the obstruction of the guided missile, the two torpedoes passed unimpeded. One hit the rotating generator ring, and the other hit the glass curtain wall that ran from top to bottom of the buoy.

Just as everyone expected, the window was blown to pieces and fell off, and seawater poured in in an instant.

The unbalanced power generation ring slammed hard into the building itself, and the aftermath of the explosion rolled up, dealing another heavy blow to the already weak foundation cables.

As everyone on the two rescue ships watched, the part of the Pacific buoy exposed above the sea surface trembled, shattered, and toppled over. The magnificent dock section broke under the heavy load and crashed into the main body of the facility again.

As expected, the Pacific buoy was about to be destroyed and overturned by the explosion. The collapsed part alone had already caused huge waves.

If the rescue boat had not left first, it would have been swallowed by the waves.

"The Pacific buoy is about to sink." After checking the data from the sensors and observing the situation through the periscope for a while, Vodka turned his head and told Gin, with an uncontrollable smile on his lips.

This series of tasks has finally come to an end, so it’s not a complete loss.

The woman named Naomi now obeys Kumail's orders. I believe that as long as Kumail's explicit and implicit instructions are sufficient, she will definitely improve and create a new system according to the organization's requirements.

Of course, the premise is that after this discussion, Rum and the boss are still interested in this system.

At present, it seems that the biggest use of this system is still to find people, and there is no need to invest too many resources just for this.

However, what is certain is that Naomi Argento, who is only 19 years old, is an absolute computer genius. Even if she doesn't use this system, there are still many ways to put her abilities to good use.

If she doesn't cooperate, the worst that can happen is that she can put on a show with Kumail, such as tying him up and beating him up live, or threatening him with a knife or a gun.

I hope he'll be allowed to do it again this time. His requirements aren't too high. He only has one role expectation, which is to be the one holding a gun to Kumail's head...

"Confirmed, let's go pick up Binga."

Gin's voice brought Vodka back from his reverie.

He responded while observing his elder brother's expression.

If I saw correctly, when Binga was mentioned, the murderous look on Gin's face did not dissipate at all, and it was obvious that he didn't expect anything good from this guy.

"Follow the planned route..." Vodka turned around and was about to instruct the crew to follow the instructions when the submarine suddenly shook.

This was not a normal startup noise, and Vodka quickly looked at the observer.

The crew's expressions suddenly became tense, but they quickly adjusted themselves and began to calibrate the instruments continuously.

"It might have been hit by the aftermath of the building explosion." After checking it, he quickly explained to Vodka, "We're still not far enough away."

In order to reduce the impact of the guided missile, they approached the buoy throughout the launch process, and were not far from the buoy site where the explosion occurred.

Given the speed at which the energy of the explosion spreads in the sea, it's not surprising that it affects this side.

"Something's wrong." Gin was not appeased by this, "Check the surroundings."

In order to avoid becoming a structural weakness, relatively advanced submarines have eliminated windows for observing the outside, just like the facility in front of them, which cannot withstand the test of structural strength due to the glass installed.

Shuichi Akai's previous judgment was very accurate. Normally, it would be impossible for any unit to get close to the hull of a submarine without being discovered during a battle, and no one would be prepared for this.

This is a modern war, not a pirate ship. Is it reasonable to guard against boarding battles?

Therefore, Tang Ze, who successfully approached the submarine, did not need to do anything fancy. He just needed to stick some hands and feet on the shell when leaving, and he could naturally complete what he needed to do without being noticed.

The crew at the command console immediately called the optoelectronic mast to confirm the surrounding images, and then shouted in surprise after checking.

"The sea is glowing!"

This is a completely unreasonable phenomenon. Normally, there are no flares that can achieve lighting effects underwater.

The main thing is that what Tangze posted was not an ordinary bomb, but a special liquid bomb from the Hall of Pramia, the master of luminous explosion.

According to Pramya's own confession, this luminous effect is an application of the sonoluminescence phenomenon, and it is also related to the fact that she added fluorescent dyes herself. The enhanced version from the temple has an even more obvious effect.

It can be said that the next second after the aftermath of the explosion of the Pacific buoy hit the submarine, the sea area of ​​about ten meters where the submarine was located was instantly dyed into a bright purple like the liquid bomb of Pramia. Coupled with the illuminated fish and algae in the shallow sea, and the lapping waves, the scene was quite beautiful.

At least for Shuichi Akai, this is definitely a beautiful sight.

"I've got you locked on." He murmured, holding the bazooka steadily. "Sink here."

As he spoke, he pulled the trigger and fired the loaded high-powered grenade.

It is unrealistic to expect a single rocket to take out a large object like a submarine, but this time, no matter where it hits, it will definitely affect the normal navigation of the submarine and is enough to stop them.

"Engine on fire!"

The crew of the submarine that was hit shouted at the first moment.

"The engine has flooded! The power is low and the motor is about to stop!"

"Reconnect, try to restart..."

"No, the motor has completely stopped!"

"What happened?" Gin clutched the handrail beside him to steady himself, a sinister look on his face. "Don't tell me someone launched a fire attack on us without being discovered?"

Normally, the only things that can attack a submarine are other things in the water, and things in the water will be captured by the submarine's sonar.

This set of attacks is completely inexplicable and its source is unclear.

"It could have been an air attack. The engine room is on the upper part of the submarine," the observer said honestly. "We weren't diving very deep. It's possible that the initial flash was just some kind of signal flare."

Although I still don’t understand how such a luminous underwater flare could exist, this is the situation.

"Anyway, we need to hurry and evacuate through the emergency exit before the central control system is affected by the shell rupture..."

If it was too late, they would really have no choice but to sink down with this big lump of iron.

"Damn..."

After cursing a few times, Vodka had no choice but to follow the instructions and hurry up to evacuate the other people on the boat.

Even if there was a spare submarine, given their location and distance, they could only board the lifeboat and find a way to evacuate as quickly as possible.

"Um, Binga..."

Mizunoshi Rena, who was following them quickly towards the lifeboat, suddenly remembered something and stopped.

"We'll contact him after the transfer." Gin replied ruthlessly, "If we can't contact him, forget it."

After experiencing the Phantom Thieves' interference, everyone knew that Binga had become their target.

If he is lucky, he can meet up with Gin in time. Even if Gin is dissatisfied with him, he will not leave him alone. At least before killing him, he will take out some potions and X-alloy produced by the laboratory and let Binga try them.

As an organization with a strong concealment ability, they are naturally on guard against the Phantom Thief of Hearts. It is impossible for them not to respond and they have prepared some strategic emergency medicines.

Unfortunately, the submarine they were on was attacked, and they had to evacuate as soon as possible and stay away from this sea area to avoid subsequent attacks.

"It's just his bad luck." Gin concluded.

Rena Mizunoshi took the life jacket handed to her by the crew member beside her and put it on. After hearing this, she silently looked away.

If the smile on Gin's face wasn't so obvious when he spoke, she could still pretend not to notice his gloating.

In Gin's eyes, Binga is almost like the salesperson from the next department who likes to run in front of him and bark like a dog. His only advantage is probably that he has a decent ability to escape, and even if he is exposed, he will not fall into the hands of the police. As for the other party getting into trouble in front of him, he will definitely be happy to see it happen.

On the other hand, Binga, who was a few kilometers away, had no time to think or care about whether to calculate or not.

He struggled to move his fins and pushed himself to the surface of the sea. Using all his strength, he finally managed to take off his goggles and oxygen mask.

The moment these devices left his face, pitch-black liquid rushed out of them, quickly dyeing the sea in front of him into another color.

"No wonder, no wonder... I can't see anything clearly..." Binga, whose seven orifices were filled with black muddy liquid, was like a ghost crawling out of the sea, and he forced a smile.

Having been away from the core of the organization for several years, he may not be fully aware of the current development of the organization, but after joining the ICPO's facilities, he has been exposed to a lot of information related to the name of the Phantom Thieves of Hearts.

The Phantom Thieves have already made a move to kill him.

This group of people is indeed the organization's biggest enemy, and if things go wrong, the reason why he is about to be killed is not just because his identity and background have been discovered by the Phantom Thieves.

They were unwilling to let me take the intelligence back.

What intelligence could he bring? Of course, it was about the identity of the resurrected Kudo Shinichi, and about Kumail, who had attacked him ruthlessly, trying to trap him in the buoy...

Who is the key that connects this group of people?

Thinking of this, Binga used his last remaining strength to take out the mobile phone covered in the water discharge device and clicked on the interface where he had entered the number.

[You are betraying the organization. You will not have a good ending, Gin.]

"What's the matter, gin, any news from Binga?"

Wiping her hair, Rena Mizunashi stood still in the cabin and asked curiously as she saw Gin squinting at the phone screen.

In Binga's situation, if he didn't get timely rescue, he would be dead.

It’s not surprising that he keeps contacting Gin because he values ​​his life so much.

Gin looked at the glaring words on the screen, sneered twice, long pressed the message sent by the other party, and then clicked delete.

Betray the organization? He just didn't save a loser's life.

It was just the hysteria of a loser who couldn't survive. He wouldn't be easily provoked by such incompetent rage.

Binga's vision was becoming increasingly blurry, and he was about to lose his balance. The last thing he saw was two small words popping up under his message full of anger and questioning.

Have read.

Damn it, Gin, I wouldn't do that even if I became a ghost...

Binga's consciousness was completely submerged in the crimson and blue, and he sank completely.

"Eh, eh?"

Suzuki Sonoko, holding a SLR camera, looked through the viewfinder with her pupils trembling.

"What's wrong, Sonoko?" Ran Maoli, who had just finished filming the buoy smoking, turned around and saw her best friend's shocked expression. She became curious and asked, "What incredible thing did you capture?"

Suzuki Sonoko held her breath excitedly for a while, waited for another half a minute before ending the recording, and then excitedly called up the video she had just shot.

"Look, look at this, this is someone from the Phantom Thieves of Hearts, right?" She lowered her voice and enlarged a part of the picture.

Their rescue boat was already quite far away from the buoy. Except for Suzuki Sonoko, a genuine tourist who followed the rescue boat because she was worried about her friends, the others had just escaped from work. They could only remember to pick up their phones thanks to the modern people's habits.

So naturally, the combined camera equipment of the two boats could not match the SLR camera with a telephoto lens in Suzuki Sonoko's hand. Only she could capture the situation clearly.

In the distance, on the sinking buoy platform, several figures were running and jumping into the sea one after another.

"It seems so. Apart from them, there should be no one else staying in the buoy..." Mao Lilan observed for a while and nodded hesitantly.

This bright red, black and white color scheme is very representative. Although not all members of the Phantom Thieves have appeared in the public eye, from the limited contacts she had with them, Ran Mouri still remembers their unified yet not completely unified aesthetic standards.

"Is that so... Hey, there's a motorcycle?!"

"Hiss, it seems so? But that's not right. It feels more like a cart or something... How did the motorcycle get into the buoy..."

"That's true, but it's normal for a phantom thief to be a little magical, right?"

Conan, who was staring at his phone nervously, finally received a positive and concise reply from Shuichi Akai. Just as he breathed a sigh of relief, he heard the two of them whispering and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.

No, it's normal to have motorcycles. They are not thieves who get in and out by normal means.

Speaking of this, he missed Kaito Kid a little.

The traditional Phantom Thief who follows the rules is so reasonable in comparison...

Behind them, Kuroda Bei frowned and looked at the screen on his phone.

That was the video he took with his cell phone for insurance purposes after the Phantom Thief Joker appeared on the screen.

The environment in which Joker is located on the screen is extremely dark. Apart from his own outline, he can hardly see any surrounding environment. However, after Kuroda Bei manually increased the brightness, he could catch a glimpse of the background behind him.

A simple, high-tech building with regular workstations and stairs, and a fan-shaped layout...

This is clearly the interior of the control room of the Pacific Buoy.

The Joker who was talking to them in the control room at the time was actually in the control room... What is this, AI technology, or is there some other deeper meaning...
