Model worker and his little darling

"Vodka, you watch too many cartoons."

Vodka swallowed hard. "Sylla, do you believe in magic?"

Sylla glanced at the vodka, then at the gin.

magic?

He must not be fully awake yet.

Gin glanced at the two dazed-looking people behind him and decided to pilot the helicopter himself, as he felt more at ease that way.

"It's time to act."

Under the cover of night, it was the perfect time for them to act.

The propellers sliced ​​through the air, increasing the speed, and under Gin's control, the helicopter flew towards its destination.

Upon arriving in Ekoda, Gin looked down at the buildings below and let out a cold laugh.

"Vodka!"

Years of tacit understanding allowed Vodka to instantly grasp Gin's meaning, and he pressed the fire button without hesitation.

The rocket hurtled towards the buildings below.

Soon, everyone saw the brilliant fireworks.

Chianti, who arrived early, watched the fireworks while complaining to Cohen.

"Isn't this something that two people can do? We were called here just to see this?"

As he watched Gin lead his men to bomb the building, Amuro Tooru was filled with rage. He had already sent a message back, but there had been no response yet.

Fireworks signaled the start of the battle, and Sila pulled the trigger, beginning her attack on the people that emerged from the ground.

Suddenly, Vodka noticed flames flying towards them.

"Big brother."

The moment the anti-aircraft missile approached, Gin piloted the helicopter and quickly dodged to the side.

Suddenly, Gin noticed that the firelight below was distorted, as if a giant abyss beast was trying to suck them in.

He could feel the heat; it was as if he were sitting in a furnace.

Realizing what had happened, Gin gave a meaningful smile.

"Is it just an illusion?"

He then pressed the cigarette butt against his arm.

The image gradually shattered under the stimulation of pain.

The others fared much worse; experiencing such a grand scene for the first time, everyone was trapped in a hallucination.

……

Feeling the intense vibration coming from above, Ping Qing slowly curled the corners of his mouth into a smile.

After surveying the laboratory's structure, Ping Qing nodded. "Your base looks pretty sturdy. I wonder how many bombing runs it can withstand."

Upon hearing this, Spider's figure slowly disappeared.

Squirrel sneered, "You should worry about yourself. You're not going to get out of here now."

"It doesn't matter, I'll definitely take you with me before I die."

As he spoke, a black magic circle appeared beneath his feet, and strange energy permeated the surroundings.

Haibara stared blankly at everything. That night, she saw far too many things that were beyond her comprehension.

Immediately afterwards, a gleaming dagger appeared in his hand and shot straight at Squirrel.

After a brief exchange, he discovered that Squirrel was a more formidable opponent than Spider.

Faced with Pingqing's attack, Squirrel was unable to dodge in time and was cut on the arm by the dagger, blood dripping down.

Squirrel clutched his arm, staring in shock at Ping Qing. This was no ordinary dagger.

The next second, Squirrel went berserk and attacked Hirai furiously.

……

Seeing that everyone was trapped in the illusion, Spider smiled and created a multi-layered illusion. This group was much easier to deal with than the Deer Lord.

Welcome to the dream world!

A chilling sound rang out, as if countless spider silks were woven into a net, trapping people in the center, unable to escape.

Spider was surprised to find that Gin had broken free from the illusion in a short time.

He then snapped his fingers, and a piercing sound rang in Gin's ears.

"Your little lover, Yu Lu, has already taken that girl to meet God. You will soon see their corpses."

Upon hearing this, Gin snorted coldly.

This wasn't the first time Pingqing and Spider had clashed, and he simply didn't believe that Spider could harm Pingqing.

Seeing that Gin didn't believe him, Spider chuckled, "Guess how many magicians in this world are more powerful than me."

Gin's killing intent surged; he sensed something was wrong. Given Taira no Kiyoshi's abilities, he should have already brought his men out; the fact that he hadn't shown up could only mean he was in trouble.

After taking a deep breath, Gin suppressed his worries, his eyes turning terrifyingly cold.

There are too many strange things about Pingqing. Even a magician stronger than Spider could not defeat Pingqing in such a short time.

After disturbing Gin's mind, Spider begins to guide the dreams of others.

Welcome to your nightmare!

In an instant, Amuro Tooru was plunged into a deep illusion.

Surrounded by scorching flames, breathing gradually became difficult.

Ferris wheel, apartment, bomb, ear-piercing explosion, helpless cries...

Amuro Tooru suddenly felt a sharp pain in his heart; his dearest friend had left him forever.

The scene shifts to a pitch-black night, where he witnesses Jingguang being shot in the chest and collapsing in a pool of blood.

The next second, Jingguang was tortured in the laboratory, eventually forgetting everything and turning into a cold, lifeless machine.

Nightmares reflect the deepest pain buried within a person's heart, and the scorching heat of flames intensifies this pain, making it ever more profound and unforgettable.

Flames silently coiled around Amuro Tooru's body, and Amuro Tooru seemed to lose consciousness, immersed in endless pain.

"This is your nightmare; it will lead you to your death!"

Suddenly, Baileys reappeared, forming hand seals. A white magic circle enveloped the group, breaking Spider's illusion and waking them up from their reverie.

What seemed like a long period of suffering was actually only a moment.

Seeing this, Gin coldly ordered the helicopter to dive headfirst and carry out a carpet bombing of the base.

Spider: ...

They really have a strong desire for revenge.

Spider's lips twitched as he looked at the cute girl blocking his way. He hadn't expected that a magician would break his illusion.

Here, the group rushed to Gin's side and found him standing openly on the ruins, as if he wanted everyone to see him.

Are they all awake?

None of them looked happy; today's experience was far too bizarre.

I never imagined that magic really existed in this world.

Baileys stood next to Gin, clenching her fists, her teeth itching with anger. "He got away."

Damn it, how dare he flirt with her! She'll definitely kill that bastard.

Sila and the others looked at the furious Baileys with mixed feelings. They hadn't expected that this cute girl was actually a magician.

"Come on, let's go in."

Smoke filled the air as the group, enraged by the magician, entered a fighting stance.

Vodka took the lead, walking through the obstructions to guide the others.

The second person to arrive, Gin, stopped after taking a few steps and casually lit a cigarette.

Just then, the sound of bullets whistling through the air rang out, but Gin, the target, didn't move at all.

"Spider, is that all you've got? Looks like your zoo is all you've got."

Amuro Tooru, who was following behind, had a sudden thought. Spider?

He then recalled that he had learned a scorpion's code name when he acted with Yu Lu last time.

So, this is an organization called a zoo?

Thinking about this, Amuro Tooru felt extremely heartbroken, never expecting that so many underground forces were active in Japan.

Compared to the Black Organization, the Zoo is a more mysterious and unpredictable magician, and they know absolutely nothing about this organization.

I had never noticed them before, and I had no idea what they did in private.

"You want to go and save Yu Lu?"

Spider's shrill voice echoed in the narrow space.

Upon hearing this, everyone was taken aback. Yu Shi had been captured by the zoo? Was the mission to rescue Yu Shi? But judging from Gin's expression, it didn't seem like it.

Gin was bombing the place with a helicopter while Mika was still inside. Did he want Mika to die even faster?

Gin sneered, "You guys?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a cacophony of squeaking mice filled the air, sending chills down one's spine.

Baileys touched her arm, and goosebumps rose on her skin.

The voice disgusted her so much that she transformed into a raging witch.

The fireballs in his hands kept hurled in all directions, making the already dilapidated base even worse.

Looking at the furious Baileys, Vodka swallowed hard; this was completely different from the magical girl he had imagined.

He seemed to already smell the aroma of roasted meat.

For a time, Baileys was incredibly powerful.

At the same time, a dense barrage of gunfire rang out.

The group quickly found cover and began to fight back.

……

Over here, after the violent collision, Hirakiyoshi and Squirrel finally stopped fighting, both of them injured.

He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and smiled slightly.

He can also use illusions, but it's unclear how long he can keep Squirrel trapped.

Taking this opportunity, Pingqing crushed a small stone on the lab table and shattered the mirror on the wall.

Realizing the magic circle had malfunctioned, Squirrel broke free from the illusion.

Upon seeing this, Pingqing's face lit up with a bright smile. Just as he had guessed, this massive magic circle utilized props from real life.

"Yu Lu, I must say, you're very impressive."

After fighting for so long, she hadn't gained any advantage, and the magic circle had even been destroyed.

Pingqing accepted the compliment without hesitation, "Thank you!"

As soon as they finished speaking, the two attacked simultaneously.

Hirai detonated the lab and then teleported away with Ai Haibara, but he was still hit in the shoulder by Squirrel.

A huge explosion was heard, and the broken walls and ruins on the ground collapsed again.

"Cough cough..."

Seeing the bloodstains at the corner of Pingqing's mouth, Gin walked over to Pingqing's side, his brows furrowed. "You're injured?"

Ping Qing shook his head. "It's nothing, just a minor injury."

Upon seeing Pingqing's sudden appearance, Xila and the others all turned their attention to the child wrapped in clothes in Pingqing's arms.

Although the time and place were not quite right, the gossipy eyes of the group couldn't help but fall on Gin and Hirai.

How long has it been, and these two already have a child?

"Cough cough cough..."

Looking at the disheveled Squirrel, Ping Qing raised an eyebrow. These mages are all pretty tough.

Squirrel, her long black dress tattered, dragged her numb arm and glared venomously at Pingqing.

"Yu Lu, guess why there are only a few people at this base today?"

Ping Qing gave Squirrel a mocking smile. "Guess how many of the men you sent out will come back alive?"

Knowing that these people had ill intentions and had even taken Ai Haibara away, he arranged for people to be around Conan and Touko.

How could he possibly come to rescue people alone without being prepared?

Squirrel glanced at Spider. "Useless."

They couldn't even handle a few ordinary people who didn't know magic.

Spider responded with a cold laugh, stating that he was only responsible for assisting in this operation and that the main responsibility for the mission's failure did not lie with him.

Seeing the two fighting amongst themselves, Ping Qing clicked his tongue and said, "That gentleman will be angry if he doesn't get what he wants."

Both of them were speechless upon hearing this.

He then looked at Sila and the others, saying, "You all need to figure out how to leave this place yourselves."

Receiving Pingqing's gaze, Bailey nodded.

Before Sila and the others could react, they saw Gin and Mishika vanish.

Ok?

Are we just going to abandon them like that?

……

Upon arriving at the research institute, Shuji Ito had someone take the unconscious Ai Haibara for a checkup.

He frowned as he looked at the bloodstains on Pingqing's body.

"You guys go and take care of this first. Shirley will stay here tonight."

Hirakiyo nodded, glancing at Miyano Akemi, who was clearly frightened. She was quite cute when she was little.

"Let's go, things over there haven't been settled yet."

Ping Qing had only taken two steps when Gin pulled him into the lounge. "Let's treat your wounds first."

After examining the wounds on Hirai's body, Gin's expression grew increasingly dark.

Seeing Gin's frenzied killing intent, Taira blinked. "It's alright, it'll be over soon."

As soon as he finished speaking, Gin saw a flash of white light on Heikichi's body, and his wounds began to heal slowly.

Seeing this, Gin's tense nerves gradually relaxed.

Before long, Pingqing's injuries were almost completely healed.

Knowing that Gin was worried about him, Taira reached out and hugged Gin's neck, their breaths mingling.

"Koto-chan~, don't worry, I'll be fine."

Gin hugged Hirai and gently touched his lips to him. How could he not be worried?

"Won't it be bad if you keep using your abilities?"

He still remembered how much pain Pingqing had endured to save him.

Pingqing gently shook her head. "It's nothing."

After resting against Gin for a while, Heikichi took out his phone and saw a bunch of messages.

Conan and Touko were both attacked, but fortunately, they were well prepared and both were unharmed.

Upon learning that Ai Haibara was alright, Conan immediately went to find the extremely anxious Professor Agasa.

"Doctor, Haibara is fine, she just got a little injured. Taira no Kiyoshi will bring her back tomorrow."

"It's good that you're alright, Shinichi. What exactly happened?"

Conan pursed his lips. According to Kid, it was done by that organization called the Zoo that had magic, but he really didn't know how to tell Dr. Agasa.
