"What should we do now, Kudo?"

In the dark cave, Ai Haibara suppressed her anxiety, knowing that being anxious wouldn't solve anything.

“I don’t know what to do either. Ayami is injured and can’t move. We don’t know where the exit is. If we just wait here for Asakawa to come find us, we might get discovered soon.”

After hearing Conan's words, Ai Haibara also fell into despair.

"Damn it, Asakawa-nii doesn't have a detective badge, and there's no cell phone signal here," Conan cursed under his breath.

"Sister, what should we do..." Looking at Miyano Akemi leaning against the rock, slightly panting, Haibara was almost crying with anxiety.

"It's...it's okay, Ai. I...I believe the boss will come. I have a feeling he'll make it." As she spoke, Akemi Kotono's face showed a smile that didn't match the others. She still believed that Yu Asakawa would come to save them. She had always firmly believed this.

"No matter when, whenever you encounter danger, I will come to your side in time. This is my promise to you." Asakawa Yu's words slowly echoed in her mind.

"Then let's split up and search now, and leave no one alive after we find them!" Conan and his friends, who were hiding behind the rocks, tensed up when they heard this.

"Hey Haibara, if anyone comes over, I'll use a tranquilizer dart to knock them out first, but I only have one tranquilizer dart on me right now, so..."

"I understand. This is the only thing we can do for now. We'll stall until that guy comes to rescue us..." Conan and the others quickly devised a plan.

Once someone gets close, use the tranquilizer dart in Conan's hand to knock them unconscious, stalling for as long as possible.

So, under Conan's direction, Genta and Mitsuhiko began to make some noise.

Sure enough, upon hearing the sound, the one of the three thugs who was closest to them was immediately drawn over by the noise.

"Hehe, you little devils, you can't escape now!" The thug laughed as he approached the rock where Conan and his friends were hiding.

three!ニー?

"Now!" After silently counting a few seconds, Conan suddenly made his move as soon as the assailant reached his ideal position, aiming his wristwatch-shaped tranquilizer gun, which was already activated, at the assailant's neck!

Click!

"This...what is this..."

pat!

Sensing something was wrong for a split second, the assailant had no time to react before collapsing to the ground with a thud.

Afterwards, Yuan Tai and the others quickly pulled the thugs into the shadows to prevent them from being seen by the other two thugs who returned.

Now, whether we live or die depends on Asakawa-nii.

Conan thought to himself.

On the other side, Ai Haibara is bandaging her sister with the bandage that Conan always carries.

There was no other way; if the bleeding wasn't stopped first, Miyano Akemi probably wouldn't be able to hold on until Asakawa arrived.

"It's alright, Ai, I... I can still manage." Miyano Akemi finished speaking in a trembling voice, and from her words, she didn't sound like she was alright.

"Sister, please don't talk for now. Conserving your energy is the most important thing for you right now." Ai Haibara felt a pang of sadness looking at her sister like this.

"Haiyuan..."

"So? Have you found those brats yet?"

Just as Conan was about to say something to Ai Haibara, the thugs who had just left returned.

"Strange, where did that third kid go?" One of the thugs immediately sensed something was wrong when he saw that there were only the three of them.

"Could it be that he's already spotted those kids and is chasing after them?" another thug said.

"Heh heh, that's quite possible. Look here." Looking in the direction the thug was pointing, there was a pool of blood!

"This...this is blood?!"

"Yes, and it's not even dry yet."

"I see. It seems that the third brother has gone ahead. Let's hurry over there too. After we take down those brats, we still have things to do."

Damn it! Could it be that when Ayami was shot just now...

From that moment on, Conan felt an unprecedented sense of crisis.

What should I do?! What should I do?!

At this moment, Conan's brain began to work frantically, trying to find a way to break through the crisis, but without a doubt, all the methods were useless.

"Could it be that I, the renowned detective Shinichi Kudo, am going to perish here today...?"

After realizing that there was no way to escape, Conan had no choice but to accept reality.

"Ai, you guys should run away quickly."

!!!

"What nonsense are you talking about, sister!" Ai Haibara panicked instantly when she heard Miyano Akemi tell them to abandon her and leave first.

"You know, if it weren't for me, you would definitely be able to... find a way to escape from the cave. As long as you call the police after you get out, the matter will be resolved satisfactorily."

"Then what about you! I will never abandon you and run away. Even if we die, we will die together!"

"That's right, we would never abandon Ayami-neechan and run away alone!"

Not only Ai, but also the members of the Junior Detective League shouted in unison.

"You... I understand, really... thank you." Seeing that these children had never abandoned her, Miyano Akemi was deeply moved.

"You guys... well, since that's how it is, I'll fight alongside you this time!"

Seeing their decisive attitude, even Conan began to feel a surge of excitement.

But this doesn't mean he'll lose his temper. On the contrary, he's incredibly calm right now because the other side still has guns, which means a direct assault is definitely not advisable; a planned counterattack is necessary.

And so, a plan began to form in Conan's mind...

Here it comes, Conan is ready to strike back!

[Seriously, Asakawa, why aren't you here yet?! Your wife's about to give up!]

Unlike Conan and his friends who remained calm, the comments section was already starting to get restless.

Everyone was asking why Asakawa Yu hadn't arrived yet. After all, from the audience's perspective, no matter how strong Conan and his friends were, it was far too difficult for a few kids to defeat a gunman...
