Conan: Start with three choices, but sequence potion

Chapter 179 Red Rose Security Company

"Give me back my body!!"

Countless hairpins were fired out and stabbed towards them with unmatched force.

Suzuki Sonoko cried and tried to pull Kyogoku Makoto away, but he didn't move at all.

Kyogoku Makoto closed his eyes.

"Crimson!"

A hoarse voice shouted in a language he could not understand, and at the same time a piece of crystal red jade flew over.

A dazzling scarlet light bloomed, and Kyogoku Makoto only felt a warmth, as if the soft moonlight was caressing him.

"Ahhh!!"

But the girl's head seemed to be burned by a fierce flame, and her body made a series of oily explosions. The black blood quickly dried up and evaporated, turning into dark and dirty crystals.

Clang.

A black skull fell to the ground, rolled twice, and finally came to rest.

Large patches of fog rose up, with dots of red light shining out from them like stars, and the sound of footsteps gradually approached this side.

It was a small group of people wearing dark red cloaks, holding lanterns emitting blood-red light.

"What is this?" Suzuki Sonoko trembled.

The red cloak in the lead picked up the black skull, and the halo of the lantern in his hand began to spread. He put it in, and the black skull was quickly absorbed by the lantern, which was much smaller than it.

"Follow me." His hoarse voice was filled with vicissitudes of life. He raised his hand holding the lantern slightly, motioning for the two to follow him. "His injuries need to be treated. There may be a curse left behind."

Suzuki Sonoko, who was originally very scared, immediately forced herself to cheer up when she heard that it was related to Kyogoku Makoto's injury, and supported the weak Kyogoku Makoto to follow.

There was fog all around and the direction was unclear. The only signposts were the red cloaks faintly visible in the fog and the lights in their hands, preventing people from getting lost.

Suzuki Sonoko looked at them quietly. There were five people in this team, but their footsteps in the fog were very unified, as if they had an innate tacit understanding.

She looked down at Kyogoku Makoto again. The bloody hole on his hand was still sizzling, and the place where the black blood was stained seemed to be corroded by concentrated acid, and the bone was visible.

But Kyogoku Makoto didn't make any sound, as if he was not the one being tortured.

Her heart couldn't help but tremble.

At this moment, the lanterns in the hands of the red cloaks began to shine, and Suzuki Sonoko suddenly felt that they were like living beings, jumping for joy for something unknown.

The scarlet moonlight penetrated the fog, fell on the earth, and dyed the streets into a red world.

"A new follower has been born." The red-cloaked leader whispered, and then began to quicken his pace.

The rest followed suit at the same rate.

In order not to fall behind, Suzuki Sonoko had to speed up and follow behind with difficulty, supporting Kyogoku Makoto.

The team finally stopped in front of a low building.

Suzuki Sonoko looked up at the sign outside, which read "Red Rose Security Company" in low-key and simple black font. The red cloak in the lead took down the lantern in his hand, found a hook outside the stairwell, and hung it up.

The blood-red light from the lantern gradually softened and turned into a warm yellow light.

The others followed suit, and soon the fog in the street was dispelled, returning to tranquility. Their red cloaks melted like water and disappeared in the scarlet moonlight.

They revealed their true faces.

The four team members are two men and two women, and the one in the lead who always acts like a captain is a middle-aged man with stubble on his chin and looks a little decadent.

"Come up." He went up the stairs.

If she must say, Suzuki Sonoko feels that the structure of this security company is somewhat similar to the Mori Detective Agency. There is a newsstand on the first floor, and after going upstairs through the narrow passage, you will reach the main body of the security company.

"You can call me Dunn, Dunn Smith." Without the red cloak, the unshaven Dunn looked much more lively.

He took off his windbreaker and hung it on the coat rack beside him, then called out to the girl with a high ponytail in the team: "Luo Shan, pour them a glass of water."

Then he walked into the inner room, and no one knew what he was busy with.

Suzuki Sonoko keenly noticed that at regular intervals on the wall there was a badge emitting faint fluorescence. It was a beautiful crimson moon wrapped in square transparent prisms.

Just by seeing them, Suzuki Sonoko felt a wonderful sense of peace. The fear and horror brought by the thrilling experience just now were soothed a little, and her heartbeat gradually calmed down.

"Please have some." The girl named Luo Shan brought two cups of warm black tea with a smile and placed them in front of the sofa.

After taking off their red cloaks, these team members obviously have more "personalities" of their own, but the more so, the more worrying their previous weird unified pace becomes.

".Thank you." Suzuki Sonoko thanked politely, then took a sip, and when she found the temperature was right, she drank it all in one gulp.

After the thrilling experience just now, she was already feeling dry mouth and tongue.

"I'm Roxanne, the one who's older than me is Ms. Daly, and the younger gentleman you saw just now is Leonard, and the older one is Old Neil."

She sat down next to Suzuki Sonoko and smiled to comfort her: "What happened tonight was scary, wasn't it? I was also scared when I first came into contact with these things, but this is what we lantern bearers have to face, in order to protect ordinary people like you who are unfortunately implicated."

"Don't worry, the evil spirit has been completely purified. The scarlet spell is specifically targeted at these dead souls. As for the wound on your boyfriend's hand..."

Luo Shan looked into the inner room and said, "The captain should be preparing the materials. I'll carve an exorcism array for him later and there will be no problem. The captain is a Sequence 7 alchemist, so he is more than capable of dealing with a small curse."

Evil Spirit, Talisman, Sequence 7
The series of nouns made Suzuki Sonoko a little overwhelmed. She had a lot of questions to ask, but seeing Kyogoku Makoto's painful expression, she didn't think about anything else and just hoped that Captain Dunn would heal Makoto's injury as soon as possible.

"Roshan, would you like to play Fighting Evil together?" The young man named Leonard, introduced by Roshan, shuffled the cards skillfully and brought out a low table.

"I'm coming!" Luo Shan responded immediately, then gave Suzuki Sonoko a playful smile and ran over.

With the taciturn old Neil along, the three of them sat down at a table and played cards.

Not long after, the door to the inner room was opened.

"Daly, where is the Moonlight Hydrosol that I brought from the church last time?" Dunn was holding a bunch of random bottles and jars in his arms, and Suzuki Sonoko couldn't recognize what those herbs or liquids were.

"When I saw it, there was still one third of it left. You probably haven't had any need for it recently. Did you forget when you used it?" Ms. Daly said in a somewhat harsh tone.
