Chapter 130 Fierce

The rain splashed on the waves, but the person who was immersed in the water could no longer be found.

The man who fired the first shot touched his headset and reported in a low voice: "Sir Ireland, the police in Osaka Castle have been cleared, but a few have escaped from the river."

"It doesn't matter."

The ferocious man with gray hair and even eyebrows said indifferently: "As long as they can't launch a large-scale resistance."

He lowered his head and looked down at the chaotic park from above: "The entire network in Osaka Castle has been cut off, and Noah's Ark is trapped on one of the facilities! It could be a mobile phone, a computer, or something else..."

"But whatever it is!"

"The indicator the organization gave you will show its exact location as long as you get close to a certain range... Find it and bring it to me!"

"Yes! Sir!" the other party said respectfully.

After the call was disconnected, Ireland turned his head to look at his companion lying next to him and moved the umbrella to the side.

"Don't be nervous, Calvados. We are here just to take charge of the situation. You don't need to shoot yourself."

He stretched his hand out from under the umbrella, letting the raindrops form a puddle in his palm, and then watched them fall through his fingers.

"Besides, in this kind of weather, with such a long distance between us, what is your chance of hitting the target?"

But Calvados remained unmoved and stubbornly kept his eyes on the rain-soaked sight.

Ireland let out a light click of the tongue, having nothing to say to this man who only liked to follow behind Vermouth.

Because Pisco was ordered to be killed by Gin, Ireland, who had always admired Pisco as a father, became more and more angry with Gin and wanted to pull Calvados to strengthen its momentum.

Unfortunately, after hearing the news that Belmod had died and his body was used for research, Cavados became more and more depressed and lived more and more like a dead man.

……

The city of Osaka was becoming increasingly chaotic. In the chaotic darkness, only the flashes of gunfire could be clearly heard, while the fierce wind from the rooftops completely drowned out the gunshots.

Ireland looked up.

On the roads outside Osaka Castle, one car headlight after another was like sharp thorns piercing the center, or like a net in all directions, catching the crows that were hunting.

The rain is getting heavier...

"The police are here..."

Ireland was not worried at all. He just ordered everyone through the headset: "Speed ​​up, the police in Osaka Castle have been basically eliminated, there is no threat anymore, all members, spread out and look for them!"

……

In circles of ripples.

A head suddenly popped out of the river.

Conan panted heavily and struggled to climb to the shore from the slowing river.

His glasses had sunk somewhere, and the cold rain hit his hair and flowed into his eyes, bringing a sour feeling.

However, that was all—he was already wet now anyway.

He glanced around.

Everything was dark, and the bright lights of Osaka Castle had all been extinguished.

He subconsciously wanted to call out other people's names, but reason stopped him in time.

In this situation, attracting attention is definitely not a good thing!

"Damn, where the hell did they come from?!"

Conan cursed in his mind.

How could such a large-scale terrorist attack happen in a big city? !

But now is not the time to think about these things!
He took a deep breath and suppressed the irritability in his heart.

Before the police took him to jump off the bridge, he vaguely heard a few familiar screams! There is no doubt that——

Among them, someone is definitely injured...or even more extreme, someone may have died on the bridge!
But after struggling for a moment, Conan gave up the idea of ​​going back to take a look.

——After all, the current situation does not allow him to act impulsively!

After determining his location, Conan moved along a secluded path toward the outside of Osaka Castle.

From the faint sound of gunfire, it can be heard that terrorists are approaching the center from all directions, so the best option is to move towards the periphery.

But suddenly he frowned and had all sorts of mixed thoughts!

Hattori could definitely think of this.

But others…

Conan walked slower and slower, and finally stood still with his fists clenched.

【Can not be done……】

【I am totally worried! 】

He smiled bitterly and turned back sharply.

##
"asshole!!"

"How dare they deploy something like this in the city!!"

A senior public security official hid behind a car and could not help but curse loudly when he heard the sound of bullets embedding into the car.

Above his head, an armed helicopter was hovering there, with two machine guns on the left and right, constantly spewing chains of fire downwards.

And this is not the only one, there are even three more in other directions!

boom!
A car was hit by the fuel tank and turned into scrap metal in the raging flames.

"grass!"

The police officer felt an unknown part scratching the side of his face, reached out to touch it, and saw the blood on his hand and cursed.

He raised his pistol and fired into the air, but it only provided psychological comfort.

"Damn it! Hasn't the backup arrived yet?!"

He leaned over and yelled into the intercom.

"Sir... please hold on a little longer, because we need to leave some forces to guard against organizations in other places, and mobilization will take some time!"

"You idiot!!"

Amid the clinking of bullets, the senior public security officials shouted angrily, "Be on guard against other places? Are there four armed helicopters in other places as well?!"

"This is the enemy's real destination! No matter how many people there are, send them all here!"

The other party was startled by the loud voice and immediately shouted: "Yes! Sir!"

The senior public security official cursed for a while, then carefully stuck his head out to observe the surroundings.

He was located in the middle and rear of the convoy, which is why he managed to survive the sudden attack.

Although the organization was huge in the past, its style of operation tended to be secretive. Even when killing people, they rarely used pistols, but instead used drugs that could not determine the specific cause of death.

But now?

How dare you play like this naked in the city center!
Without the appropriate anti-aircraft weapons, the police were caught off guard, and it is estimated that all the personnel in the front few vehicles have been killed!
However, even though the public security suffered heavy losses, they were probably not the ones who suffered the most casualties...

The senior public security officials gritted their teeth and looked at the increasingly dilapidated ruins around them, their hearts burning with anger!

Osaka Castle is a prosperous and developed city with many ordinary people living here. It is hard to imagine how many deaths would result from such an indiscriminate all-round shooting!

Oh!
A car was actually blown away by the fire and smashed hard into the wall of a nearby house.

Then it suddenly exploded!

Even in the heavy rain, the fire began to spread along the wood.

A moment later, a man rushed out in panic, holding his head.

The police officer's face suddenly changed, he stretched out his hand and yelled, "Go back quickly!!"

But it's too late...

The moment he shouted the first syllable!

The middle-aged man was instantly torn into thousands of pieces by bullets under the illumination of the orange-yellow flames!
Large pieces of blood and flesh splashed to the side in puddles, and were diluted and spread by the rain.

Looking at the blood flowing to his feet, the police officer gritted his teeth.

He yelled into the intercom again: "No matter what method you use, quickly send me ten armed helicopters!"

"I must kill them!"

##
Wiped the rain off his face.

Conan felt more and more heavy in his heart as he felt the increasingly harsh noise outside Osaka Castle and the light and fire rising into the sky.

He could guess that there was a gunfight between police officers outside.

But he couldn't have imagined that the other party could persist for so long!
"We have to find Xiaolan and the others as soon as possible!" Conan quickened his pace.

He moved little by little along the stone wall, trying to avoid the direction where the gunshots came from, and walked towards the bridge.

But suddenly!
In the darkness, a hand covered his mouth and pulled him back violently!

!!!

Conan's heart skipped a beat and his shrunken pupils suddenly looked back!
Then, he saw a finger raised in front of him.

"Shh!" After a moment of adjustment, he could see the brown hair of the person in front of him.

[Gray...Grayhara? ]

Seeing that Conan recognized her, Huibara released her hand that was covering his mouth and whispered in his ear, "Follow me!"

The two took a few more steps forward, and the drizzling rain above their heads disappeared instantly.

Conan looked around and found that this was a remote archway under the city wall, about five or six meters long and three or four meters high.

"...Conan..."

In the shadows, a voice with a hint of crying called out his name.

Conan turned his head subconsciously, and a figure suddenly threw himself into his arms, lowering his head and crying.

“…Ayumi?”

He recognized the person and said with some relief: "That's great, you are fine!"

"……Um!"

Ayumi nodded, then raised her head, wiped her eyes with the back of her hand, and whispered, "Not just me... We are all here."

She turned sideways, revealing two other people behind her.

——Mitsuhiko had a look of grief on his face, but Jiang Shouxiang next to him had a blank expression.

Seeing so many people, Conan instantly breathed a sigh of relief: "By the way, how did you get together?"

"It's very simple."

Huiyuan walked forward and explained in a low voice: "Because we were together when we jumped into the river, and were washed to places not far apart by the current, so it was easy for us to find each other."

Conan nodded.

He looked anxious, yet more hesitant, like a student worried about his grades and afraid of hearing bad news.

"Then... Haibara! Have you seen Xiaolan, and Hattori and the others?"

"You can rest assured."

Huiyuan dismissed his concerns: "I jumped off the bridge quite late, and I saw Toyama holding Maori and jumping off with my own eyes. And I am sure that neither of them was injured."

She paused, raised her head and thought for a moment: "As for the Hattori you mentioned... that guy attracted fire because of his loud warning, and it seems that he was shot..."

Conan's face suddenly froze.

But Huiyuan continued, "But you don't have to worry too much. His injury is on his arm, which is not fatal... and he was following Maori when he jumped off the bridge, so they should be together now. As long as the police can come quickly, there shouldn't be any problem."

“…Is that so…That’s good!”

Conan let out a long breath, his tense nerves finally relaxed, and he sat down on the ground.

But after a short rest, he suddenly realized something, turned his head sharply and looked around, frowning and asking: "Wait... Yuantai, where is Yuantai?! Where is he?"

No one answered.

In the empty archway, there was only the wind blowing through, leaving a humming sound that brushed against my ears.

Like crying...

Conan's heart sank instantly. He asked in disbelief, "Is Yuanta not nearby? That's why he didn't find us?"

He immediately answered his own question: "That makes sense... With his heavy tonnage, it is expected that he would be carried closer by the current. We should be able to find him if we look along the river!"

As he said this, he stood up and wanted to go out again.

But before I even took two steps...

A sad voice floated from behind.

"It's useless... Edogawa..."

Huiyuan took a deep breath.

It was obvious that no one could see each other clearly in the darkness, but she still subconsciously turned her head: "He is dead."

……

Boom!
The bright thunder illuminated the pale faces of several people.

Conan was in a trance for a moment.

"……I do not believe!"

His body went limp, and he propped his back against the wall, supporting himself and said hoarsely, "How is this possible? They must have been scattered and haven't been found yet, or maybe..."

"Edogawa!"

Huiyuan interrupted him harshly, pursed her lips and slowed down her voice, "There is no other possibility... We saw it with our own eyes."

Conan immediately looked at Ayumi and Mitsuhiko, but they just lowered their heads and did not refute...

"...That's it..."

Conan stopped talking, lowered his head, and hid his expression in the shadows.

then……

The already quiet archway fell into dead silence once again.

Even in everyone's perception, the continuous sound of gunfire outside seemed to fade away...

Perhaps infected by the sad atmosphere, Ayumi began to sob quietly.

But Mitsuhiko was suddenly enraged!

He pointed his finger at Jiang Shouhuang's face and angrily shouted, "It's you! This is all your fault! Yuantai was just injured, and you were right next to him, why didn't you help him?!"

As he spoke, tears welled up unconsciously and his voice began to tremble: "You are a coward! You only cared about running away and watched Yuantai die in front of you without doing anything!"

"Hey! Mitsuhiko!"

Conan came to his senses and hurried forward to dissuade them: "Keep your voice down, there are people outside looking for us!"

He guessed what happened from a few words, pursed his lips and said: "Besides, those bad guys killed Yuan Tai, don't lose your mind because of your anger!"

"But...but..."

Mitsuhiko gritted his teeth and yelled at Jiang Shouhuang unwillingly: "Yuanta is already dead, why do you always have a calm expression, as if you don't care at all?!"

Don't care?

Jiang Shouhuang looked at him quietly.

He did not defend himself and did not respond to Mitsuhiko's accusations.

"Okay, calm down first!"

Conan continued to comfort Mitsuhiko. He opened his mouth and wanted to say something...

But suddenly!
pop~
A pair of footsteps in puddles came from one end of the arch!
【What? ! 】

Conan turned around in horror.

In the blurry darkness, a tall figure was blocking one end.

shit!
The noise just now was too loud, not only attracting pursuit, but also covering up the sound of his approach!
"Quick! Run from that side!"

Conan yelled, waking up the others who were standing there in a daze.

But, there was no time to turn around.

Out of the corner of his eye, Conan had already seen the other person raise his arm!
【Ruined! 】

A hint of despair flashed across Conan's eyes.

He gritted his teeth and rushed towards the man, trying to buy time for the others to escape.

A moment later...

bang~! ! !

Gunshots were fired.

The echoes overlapped in the arch, as if they were going to shatter one's eardrums.

Conan pursed his lips tightly, lowered his head and rushed forward, trying to ignore the pain coming from his body.

But two steps forward...

He suddenly realized that nothing seemed to be wrong with him?
【Missed? 】

Conan was stunned.

He raised his head and suddenly saw the man blocking the cave entrance stagger two steps and fall to the ground with his head raised!
【what's the situation……】

Conan was a little dull.

He turned his head subconsciously——

I realized that it was about two meters behind me...

Jiang Shouhuang's face was ferocious, and his hands were tightly gripping the cold handle of a gun!

And a wisp of gunpowder smoke.

It was slowly dissipating in front of him...
