But why would this guy focus on his own target?
In other words, is this guy looking at his own mission goal, or is he looking at dangerous factors that endanger his mission goal? It’s impossible that he just wanted to do something heroic because he happened to witness the kidnapping process, right?
Sano narrowed his eyes and rubbed his fingers secretly.
“I said, handsome boy, are you following that police car?”
At this moment, the taxi driver, who had been directed by Sano, finally noticed something was wrong and looked over through the rearview mirror with some suspicion.
“Um.”
Sano nodded and admitted.
The driver was stunned for a moment, then his expression quickly turned scary.
“you……”
“Shhh.”
Sano raised a finger in front of his lips: “They are not really police, but kidnappers. There is a person in the car kidnapped by them. I am here to save him.”
“ha?”
The taxi driver looked at Sano who leaned half of his body forward, his eyes still full of vigilance and suspicion: “Why should I trust you?”
From the driver’s perspective, Sano’s words were probably just lying to him. Even if there was only one chance in ten thousand, he didn’t want to be an accomplice. Of course, there was another possibility…this guy was mentally ill. .
He escaped from a mental hospital and fantasized about being kidnapped.
This makes perfect sense.
Otherwise, it’s better to call the police immediately.
Just as the driver furtively reached for his phone, Sano responded calmly.
“Because I am Black Mask.”
“……ha???”
The driver turned around with his eyes wide open, now he was really sure.
This guy is really sick in his head.
“If you are Black Mask, then I am still the White Death!”
The driver said subconsciously: “How dare you come up with something like this to deceive children, it really is…”
“Transformation.”
Looking at the scene in the back that seemed to be transformed into a living person, the driver’s voice suddenly stopped, and his eyes were so dull that he almost made the car skid and hit the car on the side.
“Can you just listen to the command quietly now?”
The driver hurriedly straightened the steering wheel, back straight and pecking at the rice.
…On the other side, Conan and his team of Plague Gods were riding in Dr. Agasa’s little yellow Beetle, discussing a plan to save people with Miwako Sato.
Today, Conan and his party originally went to see an animal circus show. As soon as they went out after watching the show, they discovered that the organizer of the show, circus philanthropist Randy Hawke, was interviewed by reporters. surrounded.
Through the details of the language, Conan discovered that this person was not actually Randy Hawke, so he came to help and rescued the other person from the circle of reporters.
At the same time, he also learned the other party’s true identity.
James Blake.
In order to repay Conan and the others for their help, James said he would treat them to a feast. However, because Dr. Ali’s little Beetle was too small to seat so many people, he said he would bring the rented car from the parking lot.
Then it was gone forever.
Conan and the others searched for the past and found the code clues left by James.
Successfully solved two clues one after another.
One, James was kidnapped.
Second, the person who kidnapped James was probably disguised as a police officer.
It was probably a group of kidnappers who tried to kidnap Randy Hawke. Like the reporters, they recognized the wrong person and kidnapped the wrong person… No matter what.
People must be saved.
After communicating with the patrol police to no avail, Conan called Takagi Wataru and asked for support.
Takagi Wataru was still a little embarrassed at first, but with Miwako Sato’s approval, Conan finally found a relatively reliable teammate and planned to launch a containment and rescue plan.
“Later, we will pretend to be kidnapped and ask the robbers for help. Then Officer Sato Miwako and others will follow and ask them to help contain them. Then we will take the opportunity to surround them with police cars and force them to stop!”
Just as Conan finished explaining his plan, the police car not far ahead stopped because of a red light.
“Okay, when the light turns green we will…”
Conan’s little mouth suddenly became silent, because in the taxi following the police car, a very familiar figure to him ran out in panic.
“…Police uncle, save me, the taxi driver behind wants to kill me!!”
Sano was disheveled…ahem, he ran to the police car with a look of fear on his face, yelled and slapped the car window wildly, and finally even hurriedly pulled up the car door, making several kidnappers in the car frightened. , and he could only pretend to be calm, trying to play the role of the policeman well.
…Because as early as halfway, these kidnappers had discovered through Randy Hawke’s guest appearance on the car radio program that they had kidnapped the wrong person.
So they originally planned to find a remote place in the wilderness to kill and bury the unlucky guy who was kidnapped by mistake, and then go back and kidnap Randy Hawke.
For this reason, they must not be found to have a problem.
“Don’t, don’t worry, as long as we are here, nothing will happen.”
After the car door opened, the kidnapper who was sitting next to Sano just wanted to get out of the car and take a look and quickly get rid of the unexpected factor in front of him, but he didn’t expect it.
Sano’s eyes suddenly turned cold, and he kicked the kidnapper back who had just stepped out one leg, and hit the kidnapper who was leaning on the other side.
“What are you doing!?”
The kidnapper in the driver’s seat widened his eyes and was about to draw his gun.
Sano grabbed James who was sitting in the middle with his backhand and yanked him out of the car. Then he got into the car himself and closed the door.
“This guy is a cop!”
The kidnapper behind him pushed away his teammate and drew his gun while roaring.
It’s a pity that the space inside the car is too narrow, and the chaos of the scene makes it impossible to use it, let alone that they have to deal with Sano.
No more oil bottles.
Sano’s next actions were naturally very smooth.
“Bang bang bang…”
Several gunshots rang out in the car, and two or three bullets pierced the windows.
But it soon became quiet again.
A few seconds later, Sano pushed open the car door and climbed out. James, who was thrown to the ground by him, just got up and stared blankly at the man in front of him.
Um?
Why does this person look familiar?
Sano also stared at James for a while and thought about it.
Isn’t this the old FBI man who was at América before?
I see.
No wonder Shuichi Akai is here.
“squeak–“
Several cars stopped one after another. Miwako Sato, Conan and the others got out of the cars. They were stunned by the scene in front of them.
…This, this plan is over before it even begins? ?
Speaking of which, why did this guy’s ideas collide with his own plan?
Conan opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.
“Go and arrest those three guys!”
Under the command of Sato Miwako, a group of police officers immediately rushed to the “police car” and carried out all three unconscious robbers inside.
When Conan looked away from the three people and turned his head again, as expected, Kurosawai could no longer be seen… It was the same thing when he was in that remote mountain hut yesterday. He was so damn slow. It was only a few steps out the door, but when I came out there was no one in sight.
The mysterious appearance makes people even more itchy.
Conan smacked his lips, while Haibara Ai on the side kicked his butt and frowned: “James, do you feel anything is wrong?”
“James?”
Conan turned around in confusion: “What happened to him?”
“When Kurosawai ran away just now, he also ran away with him, but the two of them didn’t seem to be in the same group. That guy was a bit strange.”
“Yeah.”
Conan looked around again, and after realizing that James was really gone, he asked Haihara Ai thoughtfully: “Have you been staring at them?”
“To be precise, he is staring at that James, but James is staring at Kurosawa.”
Haihara Ai replied, but his thoughts couldn’t help but go back to the man in the black pickup truck that passed by their car just now, and he couldn’t help but tighten his clothes.
Conan couldn’t help but narrow his eyes when he saw Haihara Ai’s little action.
Conan, who had already understood the mechanism of Haibara Ai’s radar, naturally noticed something was wrong with his good teammate when they were in the car just now, especially the man in the black pickup truck. He even recognized it… It was the bus that day. The man in the mask in the last row is one of the suspected members of the organization.
According to what Conan learned about the situation.
This person seems to be called Shuichi Akai.
…Just mentioning the organization, Conan couldn’t help but think of the newspaper he saw in the morning.
Rye chased unknown people in the city, led a bunch of police cars around the whole of Tokyo, and the noise couldn’t be louder.
But Conan was not in Tokyo yesterday.
He really knows how to pick the moment.
Conan grumbled in his heart… Although even if he was in Tokyo yesterday, there is a high probability that he would not have done it, let alone do anything.
“…They are kidnappers, right? They are kidnappers, right?”
Suddenly, a burst of noise reached his ears. Conan turned his head and found that it seemed that the driver of the taxi where Kurosawa was sitting was dragging Miwako Sato and shouting excitedly: “I am also involved. Ah, that person is Black Mask, Black Mask and I saved people together… Damn it, I forgot to take a photo and sign, what a loss!”
…What the hell, Kurosawa actually told a taxi driver his identity? ?
Conan’s head was pounded.
Where is the promised top-secret identity?
What if it was promised that once exposed, it would be a desperate situation?
How the hell could he expose himself so casually? ?
In Conan’s confusion, Sano has merged with the main body through the “space channel”.
The low-level mission assigned by Gin has long ended.
Now it’s…fantasy, bah, it’s lottery time!
“In the process of random strengthening, congratulations to the host’s fire engine combination for being strengthened, the strengthening is successful…”
Lighter?
Also combined? ?
Sano scratched his head in confusion, and finally pulled out the map. Following the location, he dug out two lighters from home. One was a retro flip lighter that was a birthday gift from Sonoko Suzuki, and the other was bought for fun. It has similar properties to the original water gun, a pistol-type lighter.
Reinforcement item name: lighter combination.
Grade: B.
Effect:
1. Pistol lighter – arson (the fire created by this lighter can expand instantly, and the expansion coefficient is inversely proportional to the size of the initial fire).
2. Flip-top lighter – fireproof (when holding this reinforcement, you will be immune to flames).
Limitations: The effect Arson cannot be used again within twenty-four hours after each use.
Note: What a great team! !
…fff group? ? ?
Good guy, just good guy.
Sano was silent for a while before returning his attention to business.
The equipment this time is a combination set, and it has different effects, similar to the double killer guns… It is said that if you buy a water gun and come back to play with it, the water gun becomes an equipment. If you buy a musket and come back to play with it, the musket also becomes an equipment.
Should I buy a few other guns?
But what other guns?
Toy gun, model gun?
After being distracted unconsciously, Sano brought his attention back.
The effects of the two lighters are completely different, and can even be said to be completely opposite…or maybe it can be said that they are a perfect fit and need to be used together?
But if you have to take it out and read it alone.
The flip-top lighter given by Suzuki Sonoko can be said to be “invincible” under certain special circumstances, but only under special circumstances. As for the former, it is the pistol-type lighter that Sano bought himself.
Feeling a bit like a one-time bomb?
Sano roughly imagined the scene of the flames expanding.
Isn’t this an explosion?
Could it be that the killing methods between the two are different? One mainly relies on shock waves, that is, kinetic energy, and the other mainly relies on high-temperature flames, that is, thermal energy? ?
There is also this expansion coefficient. The smaller the flame, the greater the expansion factor it can expand.
Sano touched his chin. This should be regarded as the upper limit for this effect.
Otherwise, it’s not like the blasting gloves here. If the upper limit is thrown out directly, Sano might be able to instantly create a fire that covers the entire neon.
Compared to the Demoman’s hand effect in Demomantic Gloves.
It is easier to prepare in advance, but it is not concealed enough.
After making some predictions in his mind, Sano took two lighters and went out.
As expected, what is the function of the lighter-engine combination?
It’s better to experience it yourself.
…It’s still that familiar yet unfamiliar abandoned factory.
Sano first took out a flip lighter and burned it on his fingers.
There is no burning sensation or pain.
After burning for half a minute, Sano closed the lighter and looked at his fingers.
There were no signs of being burned.
Sano took out the pistol lighter again and burned it on his finger.
Well, the result is as above.
Sano turned his attention to his clothes… of course, ordinary clothes prepared in advance.
Sano is not that stupid to experiment with his own equipment.
If something happens, it will cost money.
After another minute, Sano took back the lighter and found that his clothes were not damaged in any way.
…This may be a small bug.
Although in Sano’s view, this is more like a default “right”.
It was like Sano entered the black cat form, and his clothes were not included in it, let alone the things in his pockets.
This is what the fireproofing effect does.
And then there’s the arson effect.
Sano took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it, then put the cigarette on the ground and retreated about ten meters away.
After thinking about it, Sano withdrew another ten meters.
After feeling that this should be an absolutely safe distance, Sano finally patted his head again, silently took out the flip lighter from his pocket, and then activated the arson effect.
“boom–“
It is different from the sound of air waves during an explosion.
It was obviously just a spark on the end of the cigarette, but it instantly expanded into a fireball with a diameter of two to three meters, and the billowing heat waves distorted the air.
However, it was just as Sano thought.
Such expansion is ultimately just a flash in the pan.
Just like the waves of the sea rushing towards the shore, he stuck his head out and then retracted.
However, this short-lived flash in the pan does not seem to be all short-lived.
Sano frowned slightly. There was a layer of flame attached to the ground where he left the smoke, as well as the nearby walls and even the ceiling above.
These flames were beating extremely actively and seemed to have no intention of extinguishing them.
Even if you look carefully, these flames are still slowly spreading outward.
…This is a bit unreasonable.
Sano rubbed his fingers.
fire.
It’s a very special existence.
This is not a product, but a phenomenon.
Generally speaking, if you want to maintain this phenomenon, you must provide certain conditions.
Three points, combustibles, oxygen, and temperature, are the ignition point.
To explain it very simply, it is probably that combustible materials turn into flammable gases and then react with oxygen. This is the phenomenon of “flame” or “combustion”.
Well… in short, it’s like throwing a ball of burning paper on the ground. Basically, after the ball of paper burns out, the fire will be gone, unless there are other flammable objects or flames nearby. The temperature is unusually high.
Um?
Could it be that the temperature of this flame is so high that it can even burn stones?
Sano hesitated for a moment, put away the flip lighter, tentatively touched the flame on the ground, and then withdrew his hand with a “whoosh”.
…It’s very hot, but I don’t know how hot it is.
After rubbing his fingers and smacking his lips, Sano stopped thinking about it.
Instead, he watched patiently.
It wasn’t until about ten minutes later that the flames expanded a little, and then stopped rising, and then became gradually weaker, and waited until half an hour later.
Completely extinguished.
It seems that the temperature of this thing is not high enough to ignite the stone.
Sano looked at the dark ground and walls.
To be honest, Sano couldn’t understand this situation because it was unreasonable.
But Sano didn’t intend to understand.
Find reason in the science world, just be crazy.
Sano currently only knows that there is one more advantage over the arsonist effect and the blaster effect.
That is, the latter is instantaneous damage, while the former is continuous damage.
Taking into account the changes in the situation, it may also be able to play a blocking and siege role.
Yes, Not Bad.
It’s a pity that there is still cooling, which is quite annoying.
