Conan: The Man Behind the Romance

Chapter 265: CIA technology wins, but Yingsheng is cheating!
With a loud bang, half of the wall collapsed instantly, rubble flew everywhere, and dust filled the air.

The person hiding behind the wall was concentrating on waiting for someone to come around the corner. He never expected the sudden attack that penetrated the wall. Without any resistance, his body flew backwards like a kite with a broken string.

The man's eyes turned white in mid-air, and shock and confusion were frozen on his face like a mask.

Bang-!
bang bang...

He fell heavily to the ground and rolled backwards twice.

Xiaolan stood in front of the cave entrance, her fists trembling slightly. Gravel slid down the cave entrance, and before it hit the ground with a crisp sound, Yingsheng had already stuck his head out to take a look.

And then took it back at the critical moment.

boom--!
A bullet passed right across his forehead. Yingsheng could even feel the scorching heat of the bullet at that instant, and the air track was clearly visible.

It’s a pity that I didn’t see the person’s face clearly, but judging from her figure, I guess she was a woman.

Wearing a black tight leather jacket, with accurate shooting skills and a calm mind, he is an elite.

"No one will die, go away."

With a low and quick shout, Yingsheng grabbed Xiaolan's right hand, which she had just half lowered, and turned to run towards the door opposite this side. Xiaolan's steps were stiff at first, but once she started running, they immediately returned to normal.

Sensing the movement behind him, Yingsheng immediately let go, turned around and threw the discus. Like a marble sculpture of a discus thrower, the surging force instantly burst out on the flying stone.

【Killing Intent-2】

Bang——! ! !
The black figure narrowly avoided the wall, and the flying rocks hit the wall opposite the cave entrance, exploding into dust all over the sky, dyeing the night sky with a grayish-white tint.

Yingsheng let out a click of his tongue, turned around and continued to flee. This attack seemed to have shocked the opponent. Until Yingsheng also rushed out of the iron gate, there was no more strange sound behind him.

When they saw the moonlight, Yingsheng immediately ran to the left again. Huiyuan Ai, who was held in Xiaolan's arms, suddenly spoke:
"This is the direction we were heading from before. They are chasing us away and want to hunt us down."

"I know, young lady, please have some confidence in me."

Yingsheng tilted his head slightly, raised his eyebrows and smiled, and a hint of fire flashed across his obsidian-carved eyes, brighter than the moonlight, dividing the light and darkness.

After he said that, he immediately turned his head back. Seeing that scene, Huibara Ai was stunned for a few breaths, and even her heartbeat seemed to slow down by half a beat.

This state is really inappropriate when running for life. Suddenly realizing this, Huibara Ai quickly came back to her senses. Fortunately, she was held in Xiaolan's arms. At this time, she looked around and saw the shadow of the wall beside her flying backwards. There was a faint smell of blood in the strong wind.

The most important thing is that no one came forward to block the road for nearly a minute.

"This is the route the man with the injured eye took to retreat!"

Haibara Ai thought of the answer almost immediately. Thinking in reverse, this path was indeed the safest in the short term.

But the people on the opposite side are not stupid either, they will definitely think of it quickly, and there is also a most troublesome thing. Haibara Ai looked up at the sky, and not far away in their horizontal direction, a third drone appeared at some point.

"Keep your head down, don't let anyone see you."

Firefly reminded.

Haibara Ai quickly lowered her head and pressed down the brim of her baseball cap. She calculated that she shouldn't be seen from the angle she was at. Then she breathed a sigh of relief and buried her head a little deeper. She just kept an eye on Hotaru's back with the corner of her eyes and stopped talking.

She actually wanted to ask, what on earth can you do? If you keep going around in circles under other people's noses, you will be completely surrounded sooner or later.

But since Yingsheng said that she should have some confidence in him, then she would just trust him completely.

People whose observation skills are so sharp that they almost have eyes in the back of their heads will never put themselves in a desperate situation.

And even if that happens, so what?
It's just the end of everything.

As Haibara Ai thought this, her tense mood inexplicably calmed down as her body kept rising and falling.

Xiaolan, who had been silent the whole time, suddenly spoke up: "Tianshu, if this drone is flying too high to hit us, I can throw you up a little."

"No, keep it. We are actually bait now."

Yingsheng smiled and said, "Things seem to be going quite smoothly, so I'll talk to you for a few more words. Did you notice that, because they were afraid of our individual combat power, they didn't dare to show up alone even though they were using drones to monitor our whereabouts in real time.

What the young lady just said is very right. This is a hunt and they want to completely surround us before showing their fangs.

But who says something else can’t happen during this time?”

Xiaolan was silent for a few breaths: "What will your teammates outside do? You might as well make it clearer. Keeping people in suspense is not a good habit."

"Sorry, sorry, it's my fault."

Yingsheng knew that Xiaolan was very nervous, otherwise she wouldn't have asked like this, so he shrugged and said casually, "It's a small matter, just a punctured tire. I didn't get in the car just now because I was worried that they would catch up with me. If I destroy their vehicle first, then I can just run away."

It sounds like a very simple thing, but Xiaolan is no longer as innocent as she used to be. She immediately looked stern after hearing this:
"There is definitely someone staying near their vehicle, and that person would be in danger."

"That's right, that's why we made some noise just now to attract fire for her." At this point, Yingsheng simply asked directly, "Hope, have you fixed the tire? Have you put up the roadblocks?"

Huaying Xiwang, who was on the other end of the headset, was stunned for a second, with a look of doubt on her face:
"Oh, big brother, did you arrange for me to do these? According to your previous instructions to me, I am quite far away from the scene. I am still quite far away now."

Yingsheng let out a sigh of relief: "Thank you for your hard work, retreat quickly to avoid being discovered."

"Well, big brother, are you sure you're talking to me? That means I don't need to come over, right?"

"Of course, we'll be out soon."

"In other words, these words are used to deceive Miss Lan. Big Brother will not hide many things from her, and Big Brother is definitely not the kind of person who speaks big words without being sure, so... Masaka!"

Huaying's tone immediately became excited: "Big brother, are you going to show the power of God?!"

Yingsheng smiled without saying anything, looked up again at the bright moon in the sky, and changed direction.

"Alice, try the Flower Rain?"

Xiaolan was stunned for a moment, then thought of Yingsheng's action of raising his head just now, and immediately understood what was going on. She raised her hand and smashed and scooped on the wall next to her, and her hands were full of broken stones. She raised her arm backwards, mobilized all her strength, and swung it in the air suddenly.

Bang——! ! !
The air exploded with a sound like a shotgun blast.

The stones were too scattered and the drone was flying too high, so it was afraid that it would not be able to hit them. Yingsheng had an idea and decided to take the opportunity to try out his new idea.

But almost at the same time, his eyes froze. Xiaolan's flying rocks should not have hit the drone, but the drone operator was trying to dodge the rocks in a panic, and it still hit a flying rock, which immediately broke one of its rotors with such force.

The drone only had three wings left and was flying unsteadily. It was dangling from the air like a headless fly and the operator tried his best to stabilize it.

Bang-!
This time it was a precise hit.

The drone crash-landed. Yingsheng turned around and looked at Xiaolan: "That's amazing, Alice. To be honest, I'm a little inflated. As long as they don't have eyes in the sky, I think we don't have to run. We can just find a direction and kill them."

"It's just luck, and Ai is here, so of course safety comes first." Xiaolan said.

The Toyota she had taken was at the corner of the alley ahead. She looked up and around and saw that there were indeed no other drones. She breathed a sigh of relief.

"Luckily we stopped here before, otherwise we would have been discovered by the drone."

"Even if we didn't expect such a thing to happen, we should always pay attention to concealment in daily life..." Yingsheng paused and raised his hand to stop Xiaolan, "It's really unlucky. Drones are too easy to use. Street fighting is simply a cheat."

Xiaolan didn't understand what he meant, so she looked in the direction of Yingsheng's gaze, and saw the rear of the Toyota...

!!!

A package with a flashing countdown?!
Boom——! ! !
Almost at the same moment she noticed that thing, a huge flame jumped up in front of her eyes. A wisp of firework pierced through the metal, rushed into the fuel tank, ignited the dormant fire, and suddenly exploded, blowing the vehicle away with a loud bang. The air wave impact made the raincoats worn by Yingsheng and Xiaolan rustle.

"It's over. This is a technological overwhelm."

Yingsheng looked up at the sky and it took him about three seconds to vaguely spot a small black dot. He was amazed:
"Three vehicles with four drones, great, that's a good idea, and the model is even better. Hey, it turns out that we only fought small monsters before, and the BOSS has always been as stable as a rock."

Xiaolan also looked up and asked, "Were they playing cat and mouse before?"

"One big eye and several small eyes, that's more accurate, right? Logically, they should want to capture Shirley alive." Yingsheng shook his head, looked at Huiyuan Ai, and smiled, "Young lady, do you still have confidence in me now?"

Huihara Ai pursed her lips: "It was almost gone, but after you said that, there's some more."

"Haha, thank you for your trust."

Facing the two people's expectant and curious gazes, Yingsheng took out a small iron box from his pocket. Xiaolan felt that it looked familiar. After Yingsheng opened the iron box to reveal the red and white capsules inside, Haibara Ai also felt that it looked familiar.

Not only was it familiar, but after being stunned for half a second, he immediately blurted out: "APTX-4869!"

She showed a look of surprise and looked up at Yingsheng: "What do you mean?"

Yingsheng shrugged: "You don't think I want to commit suicide, do you? I promised Xiaolan that I would become an immortal." He looked up and smiled at Xiaolan, who seemed a little uneasy, and then looked down at Huiyuan Ai:

"Besides, didn't we make an agreement? We have to live together, and no one is allowed to break the oath."

The oaths made in the past came to mind, calming the waves in their eyes. Xiaolan and Huiyuan Ai looked at each other, then looked at Yingsheng together, and said in unison:

"What are we going to do?"

It is of course unrealistic to say that one can suddenly eliminate all tension and completely ignore the current crisis.

But since we have made a vow, no matter what the outcome is, we will just be together.

Yingsheng chuckled: "Relax, you two, this is far from a desperate situation, and now, I just want to set off a firework here."

He took out five APTX-4869 pills, put away the rest, and looked at Huihara Ai: "Let me confirm first, if the drug particles here are ground into dust, can it be effective if inhaled through the nose? Can the gas mask block it?"

Huihara Ai thought for two seconds: "If the diameter of the drug dust is small enough, it should be able to be absorbed through the nasal mucosa, but the efficiency will be very low."

She looked up at Xiaolan's gas mask: "P100, it can filter anything above 0.3 microns."

Yingsheng scratched his head and said, "I'm not sure how thin I can make it. Xiaolan, you should wait and see. You should try to hold your breath."

Xiaolan nodded and looked at the capsule in Yingsheng's hand: "Are you going to make it into a weapon like a smoke bomb? Can I help?"

"No, just adjust your breathing to avoid accidental inhalation later."

Yingsheng looked at Huiyuan Ai again, "Will there be any problem if you inhale this a second time?"

Huiyuan Ai shook her head: "I just became smaller not long ago, and the remains in my body haven't started to accumulate yet. Theoretically speaking, the effect of the drug cannot be triggered."

Remnants, also known as post-lysosomes, are a type of biological enzyme that has lost its enzymatic activity, leaving only undigested residues in the membrane. Some of them cannot be decomposed and excreted by the human body and will be deposited in the cells. The older the age, the more deposits there are, so they are used as the trigger mechanism of drug A.

Of course, Hotaru didn't understand this, but since Haibara Ai said so, he believed it.

"OK, wish us good luck."

Yingsheng turned and walked towards the burning frame, raising his hand holding the capsule and said, "I'm sorry, Xiaolan, I know you don't want to kill anyone, and you don't want me to kill anyone, but there's nothing I can do. Those people are looking for death themselves."

Xiaolan was silent for a few breaths, and hugged Huiyuan in her arms a little tighter: "I am not an absolute non-killer."

"Oh? Don't you always believe that even if they are evil, they should be given a chance to start a new life?"

"Of course, this kind of thing has to be classified into different levels. If it's someone like Mr. Shirakura from Shizuoka Prefecture who was just impulsive, I can give them a chance to reform. But for people like Gin and Amuro Toru, their crimes are unforgivable, and I will never show mercy again."

Xiaolan's voice was quite cold. She lowered her head and looked at Huihara Ai, her eyes softened again: "I'm sorry, if I had aimed at Gin's head last time, maybe the situation would have been different."

Haibara Ai shook her head slightly. She didn't know much about Xiaolan, but she just thought: Miss Lan is such a bold person by nature? It seems that her past image of a vase was just a misunderstanding on her part.

Yingsheng looked back in surprise, with the corners of his lips slightly raised. Xiaolan has really changed a lot.

However, the overt performance of Gin and Amuro Toru was indeed very bad.

Yingsheng came in front of the blazing flames, stretched out his left hand, and held the flame about three inches away.

【Killing Intent-1】

Whether the target of enlightenment is air or flame, in an instant, the flame in front of Yingsheng's hand instantly rises and leaps up, and in that brief moment, it is as brilliant as a dancing fire dragon.

In this way, it can definitely be done.

Yingsheng gently clenched his right hand, [Killing Intent -5]

Point out the target, medicine A!
