"Big brother?"

Kazuma Kudo blinked and asked, "Could you give me a ride? If it's inconvenient for you, I'll take a taxi there right away."

Gin was silent for a moment, then let out a deep sigh.

"You were the one who said you were going to see Stout, right?"

Kazuma Kudo waved his hand: "Who does Stout think he is? Conan is more important. I can see him anytime, but I absolutely have to go with Conan and the others on this camping trip."

Gin frowned when he saw his serious expression: "Address."

Kudo Kazuma gave Conan the address, and Gin turned the steering wheel and drove towards the destination.

The car drove into a pine forest.

"It should be around here..."

After all, when it comes to camping, you can only have a general address; the exact location can't be clearly described.

Kudo Kazuma opened the minimap of the [Awakening Technique] and expanded the map radius to 100 meters, but found nothing. He then expanded the map radius to 1000 meters.

Then he discovered two points of light about 563 meters to the left of the path, and four slightly scattered points of light about 771 meters to the right of the path.

So, according to the original plot, Dr. Agasa and Ai Haibara are cooking, while Conan and the three kids are gathering firewood?

Kudo Kazuma frowned and immediately pointed in the direction Conan and the others were: "Big brother, this way!"

The car stopped when it was only 82 meters away from the doctor and Ai Haibara.

Since there are only narrow paths left on both sides, it's not a problem for people to walk, but it would be a bit difficult for cars to drive in.

Kazuma Kudo glanced at the map.

The [Awakening Technique] map, with a radius of 1000 meters, shows that Conan and his friends are currently 291 meters away from him, and there are four bright spots, three red and one black, only 13 meters away from them.

The light spot representing Conan and his three companions was still moving rapidly in that direction.

Kudo Kazuma hurriedly said "Thank you, brother" and quickly got out of the car, heading towards Conan and the others.

But after walking a short distance, I suddenly felt a sharp pain in my body.

He instinctively stopped and clutched his left abdomen. The pain stretched from his lower left back to his left abdomen, and it felt no different from being shot through the skin.

Kazuma Kudo quickly realized what was happening—despite rushing, he was still too late! Conan was still the one who got shot!

Thinking of this, he quickly endured the pain and sped up to chase after Conan in the direction shown on the map—the three red dots were right behind them, and if they didn't get there in time, who knew if Conan would continue to get injured?

The slightly strained rumble of the old car came from behind, and the Porsche 356A stopped beside Kazuma Kudo.

"boarding!"

Kudo Kazuma opened the car door and got in, without fastening his seatbelt, and simply sat down in the passenger seat.

"Thanks, brother."

"direction."

"Just keep going straight in roughly the direction I just walked..."

Gin didn't leave immediately after seeing Kudo Kazuma's hurried appearance after getting out of the car.

He wanted to see why Kudo Kazuma was in such a hurry, but instead he saw him suddenly clutching his abdomen as if he were injured, so he drove over to chase after him.

Gin didn't notice anyone around him, nor did he see any injuries on Kazuma Kudo.

However, considering the boy's extraordinary past, he didn't ask any more questions and just drove forward with a sullen face.

Not long after, the car stopped outside a hole with a warning line made of old hemp rope and an entrance that was only one person high.

After getting out of the car, Kudo Kazuma saw an old wooden sign with a handwritten "No Entry" written in the middle of the cave entrance, and knew that this was the place.

The pain in my left abdomen was much more pronounced than before, and the [Awakening Technique] map showed that the glowing spots were only forty or fifty meters away from me.

Without hesitation, Kudo Kazuma jumped over the rope and rushed inside.

Seeing this, Gin followed at a leisurely pace.

Entering through the cave entrance, one finds a stalactite cave with winding paths. Kudo Kazuma, fearing he might lose them, frequently glances at the map to check the direction of Conan and the others' movements.

As he passed the black dot of light, he absorbed a wisp of spiritual energy that had fallen to the ground. After a moment's thought, he casually tossed the corpse into his system space.

Then they sped up and caught up with the three still-shining red dots.

"What's going on? Why are we hearing footsteps coming from behind?"

One of the three was still observing ahead with a flashlight, while the other two turned around with their flashlights in perfect unison. As soon as they turned their heads, they saw a dark figure rush into the range of the flashlight's beam at an extremely fast speed—it was a cold-faced young man wearing a black trench coat.

After catching up with the three, Kudo Kazuma stopped and looked at them as if they were dead.

Although Conan entered the cave because of those three mischievous kids running around, it was ultimately those same people who injured him.

"you……"

One of them was about to speak when his expression suddenly changed.

In the dim cave, by the light of his flashlight, he saw the boy in front of him suddenly split into three, and one of them rushed up and grabbed his neck!

Kudo Kazuma, along with his Yin and Yang clones, attacked simultaneously, one on each side, grabbing the three men by the throats and killing them with a single, forceful movement.

Before the three corpses could fall, he withdrew his clone and casually threw them all into the system space.

After absorbing the souls of the three, Kudo Kazuma breathed a sigh of relief and continued walking forward, enduring the increasingly obvious pain in his left abdomen.

Even when he reached the crossroads, he didn't hesitate at all and headed straight for the road where Conan and the others were.

Seeing that the four points of light were about to disappear into other places, Kudo Kazuma chased after them while calling out, "Stop hiding! It's me!"

His voice echoed in the cave for a moment, and after a brief silence, Ayumi's voice cautiously came from the front: "Is...is it Kazuma-nii?"

"it's me."

Genta, carrying Conan on his back, was the first to rush out: "Conan! Conan's injured!"

Kudo Kazuma stepped forward and took Conan from him. When he saw that Conan was covered in blood, his face immediately turned ashen.

When Ayumi saw her people arrive, she burst into tears, but when she saw Kazuma Kudo's face and sensed the coldness emanating from him, she forced herself to stop crying and just stood there, tears streaming down her face.

Conan, still half-asleep, realized he was in his younger brother's arms. He immediately reached out and grabbed his wrist, saying with difficulty, "They're...they're still children...don't..."

"Shut up!"

Kudo Kazuma irritably stopped Conan, then simply sat down on the ground with him in his arms and used his recovery skill [Life Aura] on him, stacking the effect with points as if it were free.

Gin, who had followed, immediately understood upon seeing this scene and said, "It seems you'll have to stay here."

Kazuma Kudo nodded: "I have to watch over Conan. We can talk about that later. I'll help you wash the car later, since it was so kind of you to make this trip."

"No need."

Seeing that Kudo Kazuma was alright, Gin turned and left, ignoring everyone else completely.

Genta asked curiously, "Brother Yizhen, who is that older brother?"

Kudo Kazuma ignored him and subconsciously looked at Conan in his arms.

Thankfully, Conan was unconscious and didn't hear Gin's voice at all, otherwise it would have been another troublesome situation...
