Model worker and his little darling

"Heiji, is this Twilight Villa yours?" Kuroba Kaito asked curiously, not expecting that this place was actually Heiji's territory.

Ping Qing raised an eyebrow. "What? Is it not allowed? I have plenty of good stuff."

"How did you separate us? Was what we just saw a projection?"

"Are you one hundred thousand whys?"

This villa has hidden mechanisms, which he has put to use.

"What is the treasure hidden in this villa?"

Having no obligation to answer Kaito Kuroba's questions, Taira no Kiyoshi simply uttered two words: "Keep up."

Seeing this, Kaito Kuroba shrugged. It seemed that the secret here was beyond his knowledge, and it was probably related to the organization behind Heikichi.

I lifted my foot to follow Pingqing's steps, now a little curious about what Pingqing was planning to do.

Conan was cautiously exploring the area. Just moments ago, everyone was together, but suddenly he was all alone, and he couldn't find his way out of this wretched place.

"Brother Pingqing, what are we going to do?"

Hirai tossed a pistol to Kuroba Kaito, his voice cold, "Kill him."

Having trained Kaito Kuroba for so long, it's time for some real combat.

Kaito Kuroba swallowed hard, instinctively gripping his gun tighter. Kill someone? Target that little detective.

Heiji stood quietly to the side. He had once tried to kill Conan directly, but his knife was about to pierce Conan's heart when something unexpected happened, and a force stopped him.

From then on, he knew that for this protagonist, he could be injured or disabled, but he could not take his life.

Xiaolan is the same.

Kaito Kuroba is also a protagonist, and he wants to see who will prevail when the two protagonists meet.

Whom does Heaven truly favor? It's truly intriguing.

Seeing the strange smile on Hirakiyo's lips, Kaito Kuroba shuddered. "Hirakiyo-nii, this... weren't you going to use him? Why are you killing him now?"

Hearing this, Heikiri looked at Kaito Kuroba, "What's wrong? Can't bring yourself to do it?"

After saying that, Hirai grabbed Kaito Kuroba's hand and pointed the gun at Conan.

He then leaned close to Kaito Kuroba's ear, his tone seductive, "Killing someone is very simple. Just pull the trigger lightly, and he's dead. It's just killing someone; what does it matter who it is?"

"Bang~"

The bullet flew towards Conan, ultimately grazing his cheek. Conan reached up and touched his face; it felt like someone had just shot him. So, the man in black wanted to kill them all?!

Upon seeing this, Pingqing's eyes flashed; this was interesting.

Seeing that Conan was alright, Kaito Kuroba breathed a sigh of relief. This was the first time he had felt such pressure from Hirai Kiyoshi. His demeanor just now made him feel that Hirai Kiyoshi really wanted to use him to kill Conan.

He followed Pingqing because he wanted to find out about the organization connected to his father's disappearance and to find his father. But he also knew very well that it was a pipe dream for him to fight against an entire organization on his own.

When he first approached Heikiyo, Grandpa Terai disagreed and eventually contacted his mother, who was living abroad. After hearing his account of his interactions with Heikiyo, his mother said that Heikiyo had been eyeing him for a long time and had designs on him.

His mother didn't want him to continue contacting Pingqing, but after thinking about it at home for a day, he finally went to the address Pingqing had given him.

Hirakiyo promised him that he would protect him and his family, including Aoko, should they have a conflict at the zoo.

But Pingqing also said that once you get on his ship, there's no chance to get off unless you die.

Pingqing never hid from him that he was a ruthless killer.

Kaito Kuroba sighed. If he wanted to use the power behind Hirai to find his father, he would have to pay a price, wouldn't he?

What's more, he was a criminal to begin with!

Phantom Thief and Murderer...

What’s the difference!

Too lazy to care what Kaito Kuroba was thinking, Hirai looked at Conan. If he couldn't kill him, he'd use him and be a guinea pig.

On the other side, Xiaolan, who had been tormented by the eerie music and the ever-present visuals, had already fainted.

The others were also tormented; no matter what they did, they couldn't get out, and their anxiety grew.

Harufumi Mogi wiped the blood off his hands and fired two shots directly at the ceiling. "I know you can hear me. What exactly do you mean by trapping me here?"

With no response, Harufumi Mogi became even more frustrated.

Hakuba Saguru had just separated from the group when he was drenched in blood, and his body reeked of decay. His handsome face was as black as the bottom of a pot, and even his beloved pet Watson refused to stand on his shoulder.

Pingqing carried a sickle as he walked through the annex.

Seeing Mogi Harufumi cursing and swearing in front of him, Hirai Kiyoshi swung his scythe. Mogi Harufumi screamed and fell to the ground.

The same scene played out in the annex, until Taira no Kiyoshi stood in front of Senma Kōdai.

"Grandma, let me give you some advice: don't expect the impossible. This is not a place for you."

Chima Kyouyo understood that this person was warning her not to covet the treasure. She then smiled bitterly; by now, she had long since given up on the so-called treasure.

There must be deeper secrets in this villa, secrets she couldn't possibly know.

Pingqing stared at Chima Kazuyo with a gloomy expression. If she continued to persist, he would have to give her a free ticket to heaven.

To be honest, she had originally wanted to die here, in the very place where her father had spent his final days. Looking at Pingqing, she knew this time, her wish would come true.

"I don't care if you want to die, but you can't dirty my place." With that, he swung a sickle at it.

After enjoying the sight of everyone's disheveled state for a while, Hirakiyo summoned Kaito Kuroba.

The two moved the others back into the restaurant and restored everything to its original state.

Soon, Hakuba Saguru woke up and was stunned to see everyone still sitting in the restaurant. Then he looked down and saw that he was still wearing the same clothes, not covered in blood, not smelling nauseating, and had not been killed by the man in black with a scythe.

Are you dreaming?

Soon, the others also woke up one after another, and their complexions were not good.

Ran finally relaxed when she saw that her elderly father and Conan were both alright. Since she had fainted at the beginning, she didn't see any other strange scenes.

The lucky one is still fortunate.

"What happened? Weren't we looking for an exit inside the house, then separated, and then killed by that man in black?"

Upon hearing what Harufumi Mogi said, the group exchanged glances, wondering what the others had gone through.

"Psychedelic drugs? Hypnosis?"

"Are they the snacks and drinks we eat?"

……

Conan listened silently to everyone's speculations, feeling that something was off. Besides the man in black's scythe, he seemed to have heard gunshots, but no one else seemed to have.

"How did I fall asleep here?"

Everyone quickly looked toward the source of the sound and saw the maid lying at the door, just waking up.

Ran grabbed her elderly father's hand with one hand and Conan's hand with the other. "Dad, let's get out of here quickly. Conan, come with me."

Kaito Kuroba's lips twitched. The little detective's gaze sent a chill down his spine. Maybe he should just run away.

Ikumi Gunda glanced around, then got up and left.

She was first chased by a pile of skeletons, not killed by the men in black. Although she didn't know what was going on, she couldn't stay in this godforsaken place for even a minute longer.

The others also walked out of the restaurant. This time, the door opened easily with a gentle push, and they didn't get their hands stained with blood.

Seeing the dark night sky and the light drizzle outside, Ikumi Gunda ignored everyone else and drove away.
