Chapter 145: Get it! Showdown! and Leave!

Pushing aside the bright yellow sand, a hint of bright white emerges from the covering of loose soil.

Saeot grabbed the edge and pulled it up, brushing off the dust on the surface with his hand. His eyes lit up and he couldn't help but feel excited.

He made no attempt to open the box.

After all, something that could trap Noah's Ark must be specially made. It would be best to keep it as it is until it can be guaranteed not to escape.

"… Spare… me… please…"

Suddenly, a faint, intermittent moan came from behind.

Sao Yi, or Su Beixun, threw the box back into the space and looked back at the bloody figure on the ground.

He sighed softly, "Why bother, ma'am?"

Most of the skin on the woman's face was torn, revealing a mixture of red and white fat and flesh. One of her eyeballs was half drooping outside, with a pale red nerve line attached to the tail.

The pure white dress was stained with blood and dust, and looked extremely dirty.

"Oh...oh...let me go..."

Hoarse air squeezed out of the broken throat.

Su Beixun scratched his head: "You are really weird."

He half-knelt down and looked at the other person's palm which had only three fingers left and exposed bones.

"Most people in this situation would beg me to kill her, but you still want to live."

The woman pressed half of her face to the ground, opened and closed her mouth, and begged with difficulty: "You... have... already... got what you wanted... Don't... don't kill me."

"Ah~! Don't worry, I don't have to kill you."

Su Beixun rubbed his shoulders - ever since he overused [Disaster], his young body had been riddled with holes, and he would feel sore even if he stood for a long time.

Looking at the struggling woman on the ground, he tilted his head and thought for a while, then suddenly took out a mirror and placed it on the ground, adjusting the angle so that the lady could see with her only remaining eye.

The silvery-white mirror depicts all real things.

However, the evil spirit reflected in it made the woman stunned!
She shook her head in disbelief, not wanting to believe that this was what she looked like now. Tears mixed with scarlet dripped down, creating waves in the pool of blood on the ground.

"Look, with your current appearance, it's unlikely that Mr. Fujimori will continue to accept you. After all, no matter how deep the love is, humans are visual creatures after all."

"of course."

"If Ganta were still alive, he might continue to take care of you for the sake of his son."

"But now it's absolutely impossible!"

Su Beixun raised the corners of his mouth and laughed wildly.

He pushed the mirror down hard, fixing it in the soil so that his wife could always see it.

"If you still want to live the rich life you had before."

"Well, ma'am..."

"Just try your best to find a way to inherit Mr. Fujimori's estate before he files for divorce."

He stood up, met the woman's complicated gaze, and smiled: "I look forward to your next plan."

Say it.

He held up his crimson coat and walked out of the Fujimori family's door.

……

Although I talked about a lot of content, I didn't waste much time. It didn't take more than half an hour at most.

The sun is still shining brightly in the sky.

Su Beixun raised his head and stretched out his hand to block the dazzling light in front of his eyes.

But suddenly the hairs on the back of my neck stood up!
He obeyed his body's instinct and quickly turned his head to the left!
As his cervical vertebrae crackled, he saw a thin, transparent needle-like object flying past him in front of his eyes.

【This is……】

Su Beixun narrowed his eyes quickly.

He turned around and sure enough saw Conan standing behind him holding his anesthesia watch.

"Little boy, what do you mean by this?"

Conan's body froze as his attack missed.

But he immediately held his head and laughed, "I'm so sorry, Saotsu-nii, I recognized the wrong person just now."

Su Beixun had a blank expression on his face and said nothing.

Seeing that the atmosphere was becoming increasingly tense, Conan made a tentative suggestion.

"By the way, Brother Saotsu! The police said that Hinata Jito revealed some information again... We are here to invite Mrs. Fujimori. You happen to be here too, how about going to take a look together?"

"……I reject!"

Su Beixun was silent for a moment, then shook his head: "I took over Mr. Fujimori's commission to find his son. Since Maruta is dead, what happens next has nothing to do with me."

【……what the hell!】

Conan was secretly angry.

[You were clearly reasoning very enthusiastically just now.]

He was about to say something else.

But Hattori, who couldn't wait any longer, walked forward carelessly.

"As a detective, I don't believe you are not curious about the truth. How about a competition to see who is stronger between the two of us?"

Su Beixun narrowed his eyes even more fiercely.

The moment Hattori approached, he suddenly jumped back and raised his head to avoid the swift fist that was coming at him!
The attack missed, but Hattori didn't hesitate! He stepped forward, got close, and chased with an elbow!
Su Beixun quickly bent down, stabilized his center of gravity, and swung his fist sideways to hit the opponent's cheek!

Hattori was immediately beaten back two steps.

He touched the corner of his swollen mouth and muttered unconvincedly: "Damn it! Give me a wooden sword and I will beat you into a pig's head!"

Su Beixun rubbed the protruding metacarpal bones on the back of his hand.

He sneered and said, "It seems that what you want to compete with me in is not reasoning, but hand skills."

He got ready and hooked his finger: "Come on then."

Of course Hattori couldn't tolerate the provocation!
He was about to rush forward, but Conan suddenly threw him a steel pipe piled on the side of the road: "Hattori!"

Hattori's eyes lit up.

He gripped the cold bottom, took a small leap forward, used the stick as a knife, and struck directly at Su Beixun's face.

The wind is blowing hard!

Su Beixun dodged sideways and stepped forward.

Hattori immediately twisted his wrist and pressed the steel pipe down towards the opponent's neck!

Its momentum is so swift that there is no escape!
But before he could feel happy, a dull crash made Hattori's pupils shrink!

In just a moment, he was knocked off balance by the sudden force!
Su Beixun had already held the long knife that came from nowhere and used it to block the steel pipe. He made a left oblique cut and then immediately slashed it in the face!
Hattori, who had lost the initiative, blocked with his sword, staggered, and quickly retreated to avoid the attack.

But Su Beixun refused to give in. He held the knife in one hand and rushed forward!
The sharpened tip of the knife grew bigger and bigger in the pupil!
Hattori gritted his teeth, and after a bleeding wound appeared under his left eye, he tilted his head back and barely managed to pry it out.

But Su Beixun followed with two right slashes, which made his wrist numb!
The collision of iron and steel produced dazzling sparks!
"Damn it! Where did this knife come from?!"

Hattori roared in his heart, clenched his hands to increase his strength, exerted force on his waist and abdomen, and lifted the oncoming slash high into the air.

Taking advantage of Su Beixun's open door, his veins bulged and he smashed the opponent's head with a steel pipe!
His eyes are fierce and he will make his head bleed!
Su Beixun's eyes were cold.

He quickly twisted his body to the right and went behind Hattori who was attacking from the air.

then!

Swing the knife diagonally downward, chopping the opponent's knee!
The sound of breaking through the air came whistling!

Hattori had no choice but to twist his wrist and move the steel pipe behind his back to block.

But this awkward way of applying force caused the steel pipe he was holding to fly out of his hands after he blocked the attack!

Hattori thought to himself that this was bad, but he was not panicked at all.

The opponent's knife was also knocked away by the collision and could not be swung again for a short period of time!
As long as he rolls forward, he can take the opportunity to create distance and regroup!
but……

Just when he pounced according to plan!

Hattori suddenly saw...

The other party actually took out a gun from his arms and sneered at him!
"Nani!!"

Faced with this unethical scene, Hattori's pupils shrank into needle points and he cursed in shock.

He wanted to twist to the side, but his body was already in mid-air and had no leverage at all!
Su Beixun snorted coldly.

Pull the trigger! Bang!
Just when Hattori was thinking that his life was over, a stone hit the side of the gun with a sound of breaking through the air.

The muzzle of the gun tilted, and the bullet grazed his body and hit the lime floor!

Hattori touches the ground!

He immediately stood up, half-crouched, and looked vigilantly at the muzzle of the gun from which smoke was coming out.

Su Beixun tilted his head.

——Beside him, several arcs of electricity were jumping on Conan’s shoes.

He clicked his tongue.

"That's it for today."

He pointed his gun at the two men and retreated step by step along the alley: "We'll fight again when we meet next time."

Hattori refused and was about to chase after him, but a bullet made a hole near his feet, forcing him to stop.

"Damn it! You are Su Beixun, right?!"

Conan watched him go away and shouted unwillingly, "You faked your death and got away! What do you want to do hiding in the dark?"

"……do what?"

Su Beixun did not deny it. He tilted his head with Saotome's appearance and laughed, "You will know it eventually."

between words.

He disappeared deep into a remote alley and was never seen again.

Hattori followed without giving up.

But outside the alley is a wide avenue. Although there are not many pedestrians on it, you can still spot a dozen at a glance.

Among them, Saoe's position could not be found.

"Disguise?"

Hattori gritted his teeth, noticed the taste of blood in his mouth, and spat in dissatisfaction.

"Noah's Ark... Artificial Intelligence..."

Conan frowned, feeling a little heavy: "It seems we need to find someone to ask what this thing can do."

"Ah~!"

Hattori nodded, and thinking of the public security personnel who had been tracking him down, he said, "There should still be someone from the public security department in the police station. Let's go ask them now!"

"……Wait a moment!"

Conan was about to agree, but was suddenly stunned.

"Speaking of the police station…where's Officer Yamashita?"

They clearly called each other a long time ago, why haven't they come yet?
Did something happen?
Hattori quickly took out his cell phone and called.

The call was answered quickly.

Yamashita asked loudly amidst the noisy background: "What's wrong, Hattori-kun?"

Hearing this powerful voice, Hattori felt relieved and complained, "Are you still asking me what's wrong? Didn't I ask you to bring more people to the Fujimori family? Why haven't you come yet?"

"Oh, this..."

Officer Yamashita explained: "The residence of Jin Cangtian was also attacked. Since I took over the case related to him, I followed the police to take a look."

Hattori rolled his eyes: "Then can't you get others over first?"

"Uh... didn't you say it was okay... I just forgot about it."

Hattori and Conan looked at each other and were really speechless.

When they called Officer Yamashita, Saotsu had just begun to reason. He thought it was just a confession and arrest process, so he told the police it was a trivial matter.

After the unexpected situation happened, they all forgot to call back, leading to the current misunderstanding.

The two could only sigh in unison.

After staring at the busy street for a long time.

Conan slapped his head fiercely: "Oh no! Mrs. Fujimori!"

Hattori's expression also changed suddenly.

Remembering the wailing and screaming he heard in the headphones, he immediately turned around and ran towards the Fujimori residence.

##
Stepping out of the taxi, Su Beixun, disguised as a middle-aged man, handed the fare to the driver.

He walked into the station, bought a ticket back to Tokyo, then sat in a corner and waited calmly, leaning back in his chair and clearing his mind.

Overall, this trip to Osaka was quite smooth.

Although the process of obtaining Noah's Ark was different from the armed conflict he imagined, in this world, it is normal to achieve one's wishes by solving cases.

In addition, as to why he was blocked by the two people in the end...through the headphones worn on Conan's neck, Su Beixun could roughly guess the reason.

It's nothing more than a monitor or something like that.

As for——

There was no need to worry about whether Mr. Fujimori, who openly knew Saotsu, would reveal any secrets.

That was just a relationship he created through hypnosis after he found out that Conan and Hattori were both involved in the kidnapping case while Mr. Fujimori was out to get the ransom.

Facts also prove it.

Following closely, Conan can indeed find what he needs.

After reviewing the situation from the beginning and finding that there were no obvious hidden dangers, Su Beixun closed his eyes with satisfaction.

quickly!

The tram has arrived.

……

After a long drive of several hours, Su Beixun set foot on Tokyo land again.

Compared to when he left, this place is now so strange and terrifying—

The already indifferent passers-by now stopped communicating with each other at all, and even turned their heads and quickly moved away when they got within two meters of each other.

Everyone wore a medical mask on their face. Even though the temperature was not low, everyone wore loose clothes to cover their entire body as much as possible.

"…the influence of Bacillus anthracis?"

Su Beixun frowned and took out a mask and put it on his face.

His attention has been focused on Osaka these days, and he only has a little understanding of Tokyo. He didn't expect the consequences to be so serious.

He walked around the station, but didn't see any taxis that should have been crowded around. He had no choice but to walk to an empty corner and take out a motorcycle from the space.

He stepped on the accelerator to the bottom and in less than 20 minutes, he was back to Jiang Shou's home.

After avoiding the crowd and changing his appearance back to Jiang Shouyize, Su Beixun walked into the gate leisurely.

"Master, you are finally back!"

The guard nearby saw that the master had not returned home for a long time, and hurried forward to say hello.

Su Beixun nodded at him kindly and rubbed his temples pretending to be tired.

"I can't help it. There are too many things going on at the company."

He paused.

"By the way, has Xiao Huang's problem been resolved?"

That night, he was clear about hiring a lawyer to get Jiang Shouhuang out of jail, and he even ordered someone to find the legal team.

It was just that integrity was of the utmost importance at that time, so he didn't seriously investigate what happened next.

"Uh……"

The security guard complained in his heart about the old master's deep father-son love for the young master, but said respectfully on the surface: "It has been resolved, please don't worry."

Su Beixun nodded and walked over.

Long before he left for Osaka, he had summoned all the programmers in the group, or placed them under house arrest at Jiang Shou's home.

Although they were very dissatisfied, they had no choice but to accept it under the tyranny of Lord Jiang Shou.

Su Beixun took a look at the direction and walked towards the temporary residence of the programmers.

Although getting Noah's Ark was crucial, it was only the first step. Next, he had to find a way to make Noah's Ark obey him completely.

And this requires the help of programmers.
