"Thump thump."

Toru Amuro could hear his own pounding heart. Everything around him felt so strange, with a damp smell unique to the darkness. He could hear the sound of dripping water, which made him even more creepy.

The black cloth covered Toru Amuro's eyes layer by layer. All he could do now was to listen to the guide beside him and keep moving forward. Only when he turned a corner would the person behind him remind him, otherwise everything would fall into deathly silence.

He had been walking for about ten minutes. He was not walking slowly. Toru Amuro had calculated his pace, speed and frequency very accurately. However, the terrain here was too complicated, with twists and turns, giving him the illusion that he was going around in circles.

"Turn... Hey, turn!"

The person behind him reminded Amuro Toru, but Amuro Toru was thinking about how far he had walked and did not pay attention for a moment, and was suddenly held on the shoulder by the guide.

"Don't overthink, Bourbon." The guide wore black sunglasses and his black clothes blended in with the black. "Bringing you here is a sign of trust in you. Don't be ungrateful."

"Of course, I was just distracted for a moment." Amuro Toru was quick to respond, "After all, I've been walking blindfolded for too long, so I must be feeling a little bored."

"It's almost there." The guide snorted coldly, temporarily believing what Amuro Toru said.

They were walking very fast, after all, they were two adult men, and they had been walking for more than ten minutes, almost 20 minutes, and even he felt a little bored.

"We're here, let's go in."

The blindfold in front of Amuro Toru was taken off. The sudden light made it difficult for him to open his eyes. He subconsciously covered his eyes with his hands. It took him a while to adapt before he could see the scene in front of him clearly.

This is a large conference room. Compared with the narrow and dark passage outside, this place can be said to be magnificent. A huge crystal chandelier hangs high on the ceiling, and every tile looks extremely delicate.

Even the legs of this round conference table are carved with intricate patterns.

However, these patterns are extremely soft and natural, giving Amuro the illusion that they are not artificial carvings but naturally occurring.

At the conference table, he only knew Gin, Vodka and Vermouth. Many people of different races and countries gathered here, and they all looked very impressive.

The main seats were a bit strange, with two robots, and it looked like the two tallest gentlemen had no intention of showing up.

This meeting was divided into two, one for younger brothers like Toru Amuro and Vodka, and the other for people at the level of Gin. This kind of collective meeting that only happens once in a century is really rare.

If there were police ambush here, then Detective Conan would probably end right away, after all, everyone here is except that gentleman and Rum.

However, this is just Toru Amuro's fantasy.

He didn't know how much effort he had put into getting here, but the first step stumped him. With his eyes covered by a black cloth, he was walking around like a headless fly, and there was no signal on his phone...

As expected, he only gained a little trust and was not qualified to access any secrets.

After the first meeting, Toru Amuro could not hide his disappointment.

It is no exaggeration to say that this conference was nothing but nonsense literature, painting big rosy pictures, brainwashing them to make them obedient, and of course, giving them money.

For other people, getting money is the best thing and they can ignore the nonsense they heard before, but Toru Amuro doesn't care about it at all.

"Aren't you leaving?" Toru Amuro was a little confused when he saw Vodka standing beside him.

Everyone else left one after another, but Vodka calmly took out a cigarette, lit it, and walked towards another fork in the road.

"Me? I have to wait for my brother." Vodka replied casually: "How about I take you back later?"

This is a good idea, and maybe I can talk to Gin a little.

Toru Amuro stopped and watched Vodka disappear around the corner. Toru Amuro planned to walk around.

There was no guide to warn them here. They were blindfolded when they came in, but when they went out they were told that they could take any road. This made Toru Amuro very strange.

You go around in such a circle when you come, and you just walk around casually when you leave?

【……Light.】

"Who?"

The subtle and gentle voice cheered up Toru Amuro. He looked around. It was pitch black all around and he could only vaguely see different forks in the road leading to even darker places.

[…I saw it.]

【Light.】

"..."

Who is talking?

The sound was too subtle, soft and ethereal.

Toru Amuro couldn't tell the direction, he just felt that the voice was right next to his ear, like a whisper coming from his bones and the depths of his soul.

As if possessed by a ghost, Toru Amuro followed his intuition and chose a fork in the road. He silently memorized the road behind him, made a hidden mark, and then walked in.

According to the guide, there is no need to worry about not knowing the way back, just walk anywhere. However, Amuro Toru has a hunch that he is definitely not heading to the outside world.

A faint mist had filled the surroundings without him noticing; the lavender mist was actually somewhat bright in the darkness. To the end, Toru Amuro was walking almost by intuition.

[It seems that fate is about to begin. There seems to be more than one light...]

"However, there seems to be only one that is the brightest. The others flicker and will go out if you are not careful..."

"Well...it's the most hopeful year yet."

The sound became clearer and clearer, right in front.

Toru Amuro looked around in surprise. This turned out to be a room he had never seen before. The whole room was pitch black. He could only see a table not far away, and there seemed to be a person sitting in front of it.

The atmosphere was a bit weird. Toru Amuro hesitated and wanted to step back to observe the situation. As soon as he took a step back, his back hit a wall.

What's going on?

Toru Amuro was shocked. He had just walked along this road, so why was there a wall behind him?

I don’t know if it was the darkness or an illusion, but Toru Amuro always felt that the wall seemed to be wriggling slightly in the darkness, as if it were alive and it was creepy.

There was no way to retreat, so Toru Amuro forced himself to calm down and continue moving forward.

Who is this? Why is he in such a mysterious room? Could it be that gentleman?

At first, Toru Amuro thought so, but as he got closer, he gave up the idea.

In any case, as the big boss of the winery, it is impossible for Karasuma Renye to be locked here by these strange chains. What's more, she just looks like a weak little girl.

"Hmm? Who's here?" The girl paused in front of the long table, and the chains made a crisp sound as she paused.

Then, the girl looked up in surprise, as if she had not expected that someone would suddenly appear here. Zihui and Amber looked at each other.

What kind of eyes were those, clear and bright like the finest amber, like the collision of flints in the dark, with a snap, and golden flames jumping in the night.

"Eh? You walked in by yourself?" The amber eyes blinked, confused and surprised: "Did you come from the outside world by accident, or are you a member of the winery who was in a meeting and accidentally walked in here?"
