Out-of-control players in the world of Detective Conan

I caught a whiff of blood underwater and stumbled upon a seal playing with razor clams. I fought with all my might, but I was no match for it.

Great White Shark

……

"According to the navigation, it should be this way..."

Leading everyone through the cave, Qi Ming quietly stopped at the end of the navigation.

There was only a rock wall in front of them, with a seawater trench about two meters wide separating them.

This is clearly a dead end.

Are you sure you haven't gone to the wrong place?

Haibara sighed and said.

"Maybe, perhaps, maybe, this map has some pitfalls, so he told me to go straight here."

Qi Ming frowned as he answered.

"Damn system, is this prosthetic eye you gave me a cheap, low-quality product ripped off a dead person? A cleaner, huh?"

[Not a fourth-hand item]

"..."

I don't think I asked how many times it had been handled, did I?

Anyway, the navigation was correct.

Hearing the system's reply, Qi Ming looked at the wall.

A moment later he understood.

I see, the shortest distance between two points is a straight line.

This is the best route!

On one side, Haibara squatted down and paddled the water with her small hands.

Her gaze seemed to have caught sight of a depression beneath the water's surface, and she took Qi Ming's flashlight and swiped it downwards.

Looking at the dark patch close to the wall beneath the water's surface, it's clear there's an underwater passageway.

Perhaps because they arrived at the wrong time, before the tide had receded, the water level in the cave had not dropped, so the path below was not revealed.

Fortunately, they brought their diving equipment with them, so they just had to swim in.

"There seems to be something down there..."

"open!"

As Ai Haibara spoke, she turned to look at Qi Ming, only to find that the latter had already taken a pickaxe in each hand and smashed it against the rock wall.

"??What are you doing!"

"As you can see, I am pioneering a completely new path."

The rock wall wasn't very sturdy; you could basically chip off a piece with a pickaxe in just a couple of strokes.

Not to mention that Qi Ming was still dual-wielding, and by swinging his arms, he quickly dug a path out of this dead end.

Everyone stared dumbfounded at the scene before them. After a long while, Sonoko Suzuki swallowed hard and exclaimed in amazement:

"Magic really is omnipotent."

"..."

Ai Haibara's eyelids twitched.

If only it were magic, but in fact it's a power that's even more incomprehensible.

……

The group walked along the road that Qi Ming had carved out, when they suddenly heard Qi Ming shout in surprise.

"Fuck!"

"Has something happened to Mr. Qi Ming?"

Qi Ming turned around, his face already covered by a gas mask.

He waved to the crowd.

"It's poisonous inside, don't come in and inhale it."

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately stopped.

"in addition……"

Qi Ming paused, looking at the square room outside the cave entrance.

Besides the seawater that was almost ankle-deep, there were also several corpses that had decomposed into skeletons lying on the ground.

Another skeleton.

Otherwise, how could some industrial assembly lines be so similar to the incident in the castle last time?

It's estimated that these people came here while searching for treasure, then fell into a coma due to gas poisoning and never woke up.

Pulling his mind back to the present, Qi Ming shifted his gaze to another spot, where a person who had not yet turned into a skeleton lay.

He still has vital signs, so it seems he has only fallen into a coma due to initial poisoning.

But if we stay here any longer, who knows?

However, Qi Ming couldn't say he was very familiar with this person; he could only say that he looked very familiar.

Isn't that Conan?!

Why are you sleeping here?

……

Evening, at the Shinkai Island Clinic.

Conan, lying in the hospital bed, opened his eyes.

Staring at the stark white ceiling, Conan was momentarily lost in thought before throwing off the covers and sitting up.

What's going on? Why am I here?

"Conan, you're finally awake!"

Beside him, Ran Mouri looked at the awakened Conan and stepped forward to ask him with concern.

"Xiaolan... Sister?"

Conan looked around and saw that everyone, including Qi Ming, was gathered around him.

"What's wrong? Why am I here?"

"...Were you just on the Bridge of Helplessness?"

Qi Ming rolled his eyes at Conan.

"What we want to know now is why you were there?"

Why am I there?

Recalling his experience before collapsing in that cave, Conan lowered his head with a wry smile.

What really happened?

After separating from the others, he followed the navigation track on his glasses.

He then discovered that the group had gone to a diving shop and had hidden in the bushes.

Conan did indeed choose OB from a distance, with a distance of about 30 meters between them.

As he was observing the scene inside the dive shop from a distance, he suddenly heard a sound behind him.

Feeling a little flustered, he turned around, only to find that it was just a wild rabbit making the noise.

"You scare yourself."

He breathed a sigh of relief, but as soon as he turned his head, he saw that one of the three people was already standing in front of him.

What Conan didn't notice was that only two people entered the diving shop.

There was another person smoking behind a tree only three or four meters away from him.

I'm usually clueless and miss things easily.

The man recognized Conan as the child who had been with Qi Ming. He then tied Conan up and brought him to the waters near Laiqin Island, forcing him to go into the water with him.

However, shortly after they entered the water, the heads of the three men suddenly exploded, and sharks, drawn by the smell, came running.

Although the explosion occurred underwater, providing some cushioning, Conan was still hit and suffered injuries and bleeding.

Just as he was thinking about how to escape, his glasses, which had been updated with a brand new system, thoughtfully provided navigation, leading him all the way to the cave.

And then... no more.

The navigation took him directly to a room with gas, and then he passed out.

"By the way, did you see those three people at the bottom of the sea?"

Conan suddenly thought of something and quickly asked Qi Ming.

"Your companions' heads suddenly exploded!"

"..."

Qi Ming rolled his eyes at Conan.

“We are not partners, I'm telling you, don't slander me.”

Not a companion?

Conan was taken aback, then understood.

Got it, this means it's been cut.

The organization will immediately distance itself from any member who dies!

Ran Mouri held Conan's hand and said:

"Conan, what are you talking about? Are you not quite right in the head?"

"After we came out of there, we contacted the police and retrieved the bodies. We are now verifying their identities."

Should we verify their identities?

Conan's eyes lit up, and he threw off the covers, making a move to get out of bed and leave.

"Sister Xiaolan, where are the police? I have something to tell them!"

Then, Ran Mouri familiarly pressed down on the back of Conan's neck.

"Conan, you've only just woken up, you need to rest!"

Conan felt his legs go limp and immediately turned around, pleading pitifully.

"Sister Xiaolan, please let me go! I... I have very important clues about the deaths of those three people!"

"..."

Qi Ming got goosebumps the moment he saw Conan's performance, then he gave Ai Haibara a wink.

Ai Haibara: ...

She understood the meaning behind Qi Ming's eyes.

Some were offended.

Jingle Bell--

Just then, Qi Ming's phone rang.

He took out his phone and glanced at the screen curiously.

Unknown phone number, note: suspected of fraud.

"..."

Goodness, they've actually gotten involved in telecom fraud so quickly.

With a sense of wanting to test the other party's scam, Qi Ming answered the phone.

"Hey?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a voice came from the other end of the phone.

"I am Rum."

Upon hearing this, Qi Ming frowned.

"You son of a bitch, can't you speak properly? Get lost."
