Xiao Lan, or rather, the eight of them, were positioned quite close to the person who was shot.

Xiaolan wasn't frightened by the audience members who died from gunshot wounds to the head, but she was terrified by the sudden screams that rang in her ears.

However, she reacted quickly, telling Haruka to "Call the police, Haruka," and then pulled the three little ones behind her, looking around nervously.

Because someone had been shot, the spectators nearby began to stir. Some even got up and left, while others, unaware of what was happening and whose view was blocked, started cursing. Still others, after finding out what was going on, exclaimed in surprise. The surrounding area was in an uproar, turning into complete chaos.

Kudo Kazuma absorbed the soul of the deceased, casually shielding Ai Haibara behind him, and his gaze fell on the direction of the murderer he had identified.

If you can draw a line between his position and the position where the person behind him was shot, it's easy to determine the other person's location.

The commotion was currently confined to their side. Spectators in the distance, unaware of the situation, might have thought a fight had broken out among fans shortly after the start of the game, so they weren't particularly tense and were instead enjoying the spectacle.

The lack of chaos over there made it much easier for Kazuma Kudo to observe.

The other party concealed himself very well. In a venue with tens of thousands of people, there were hundreds of people even in that direction. Without the other party firing a second shot, it would be difficult for him to determine who that person was.

So this is what Rum is up to?

Do you think you can take him down with just one person and a pistol?

Or... are there more plans?

Thinking that Conan was still down there, he simply had Ai Haibara and the three little ones crouch down and hide behind the half-wall, and asked Ran to protect Haruka Haibara, and then he jumped down himself.

Conan had already used his small dagger to dig out a bullet, and turned to look at Kazuma Kudo: "A 7.62mm bullet..."

Kudo Kazuma glanced at it and asked without hesitation, "Russian-made? 7.62, is it a Tokarev?"

He scooped Conan up in his arms and quickly headed back towards the stands, saying in a low voice, "There's more than just this one gun in the venue. You heard the commotion just now, didn't you?"

Conan nodded, letting his younger brother carry him forward: "Are Ran and the others alright?"

"I've made them hide." Kudo Kazuma kept an eye on the direction of the murderer. "Let's go and meet up with them first."

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly darted forward like an arrow, leaving a hole in the glass behind him with a "smash".

Is Rum determined to fight to the death?

Kudo Kazuma cursed under his breath and instantly sped up.

"Call Ran and tell her and Ai to take the others and hide behind the low wall of the stands and not move!"

His speed is extremely fast, a fact well-known within the organization. If Rum really wanted to kill him, he certainly wouldn't have just arranged for such an ordinary small pistol; he probably had a backup plan.

By this time, many people in the venue had realized the problem, and those who had left initially had already reached Gate 1, which was closest to them.

No one expected that as those people were leaving, a sudden explosion rang out. An explosion occurred near the exit, and the collapsed walls and stones blocked most of the exit, killing and injuring more than a dozen people.

The game was immediately forced to stop when the explosion occurred.

The athletes remained relatively calm and managed to gather together in an organized manner. Many people in the stands were rushing out in a panic, but they stopped in their tracks when an explosion occurred at Gate 2. The twenty or so fastest runners were buried inside Gate 2 after the explosion.

Some clever people realized that the explosions might be sequential, and immediately ran towards the last gate, number 18, regardless of the distance.

By the time Kudo Kazuma, Conan, and the other six met up under the low wall of the stands, the entire venue was in complete chaos.

Only a few relatively rational guards organized everyone to leave towards Gate 18, but while they left, "order" was difficult to maintain.

In the short time that followed, Gates 3 and 4 were also destroyed.

"Ten seconds." Conan remained quite calm and quickly deduced the time interval between the explosions of each door.

"If everything is alright, the explosion should be two minutes and two seconds away from Gate 18..."

With a loud "boom," Gate 5 was also destroyed.

Conan sighed: "Two minutes and ten seconds."

If there were only a few of them in the venue, it wouldn't take them more than two minutes to run from here to Gate 18, and they could easily slip past. But now Gate 18 is packed with at least several thousand or even tens of thousands of people...

"I think I should go and deal with the root of the problem. You should notify the police. If they can get there in time, they might be able to take away or disarm the bombs at some of the exits."

Kudo Kazuma knew that the bombs must have been planted in advance, probably to trap him in the venue.

He didn't care whether those people lived or died anyway, so he might as well kill the people who tried to kill him first—when everyone was in chaos, those who seemed calmer stood out instantly.

He couldn't be bothered to distinguish who among them was sent by Rum, who was part of the original plot and wanted to cause trouble, and who was too scared to move. Killing them all would surely prevent any from being missed!

Kazuma Kudo's words instantly reminded Conan.

After he told Xiaolan to call the police, he immediately ran towards Gate 17.

Gate 6 was also blown up.

But if the structure isn't too complicated, he should have enough time to defuse the bomb at Gate 17.

Kudo Kazuma's primary target was still the person who attacked him with a gun, so he rushed in that direction immediately.

Almost simultaneously, that dangerous feeling of being watched resurfaced, and this time it was even stronger than before, coming from two directions...

Two, snipers?

As Kudo Kazuma sped forward, he mentally summoned the system, Tsuki-ko.

I should have quite a few points by now, right?

Not to mention the points gained from absorbing those spirits, just considering the points gained from unlocking the female lead and various key and special characters since returning to Tokyo, there must be at least 800 points.

Yes, Master, you currently have 1723 points.

[Let's try something extreme. Let's do a points lottery and see what we can get in this situation.]

Kudo Kazuma quickly spent 200 points to upgrade his speed again, narrowly dodging a sniper bullet, but still getting a scratch on his body.

[Skill "Aura of Life": Using this skill grants a one-hour recovery effect, accelerating the healing speed of the user or targets in direct contact with the user up to five times. This effect can be enhanced with points; every 10 points doubles the skill's effect, and this enhancement can stack without limit.]

Kazuma Kudo: "..."

Is this considered a healing skill? Does it mean I'm already injured?

While mentally complaining, Kudo Kazuma had already taken out a Tokarev 7.62 from his system space and killed the person who had shot him earlier with one shot.

As he put away the gun, he released both his Yin and Yang clones.

The skill 【Two Elements Clone】 can place clones up to 1000 meters away, so almost at the same time he finished off that person, two clones wielding daggers appeared out of thin air beside the two snipers.

The two clones simultaneously wielded their blades, absorbed the souls, threw the corpses into the system space, and then vanished instantly.

"It should be resolved..."

Under intense mental pressure, he simultaneously released two clones, causing Kudo Kazuma to involuntarily experience a momentary blackout.

Just as he retracted his clone and breathed a sigh of relief, a cold glint suddenly caught his eye out of the corner of his eye.

One more person!
