Conan: Above all force, there is truth!

The sudden loss of oxygen caused Conan to choke on several mouthfuls of water.

Lost oxygen, approaching sharks...

For a moment, Conan's mind went blank.

Just then, Ryūno quickly swam to Conan's side and, before Conan could notice, knocked him unconscious.

After knocking Conan unconscious, Ryūno summoned his wings and carried Conan directly out of the water.

After throwing Conan onto the boat, Ryuno first observed Conan's choking on water to make sure he wouldn't "choke to death." Then, Ryuno pulled out a steel pipe and struck Conan twice on the head.

"Hmm! That way he won't wake up for now. When he wakes up, we can say that these are marks left from when he hit a rock in the sea..."

After making sure Conan wouldn't wake up anytime soon, Tatsuno jumped into the sea and "flew" towards the underwater palace.

Not long

The two treasure hunters, seeing Longye follow them, exclaimed in amazement, "You're still alive! That's amazing! That brat isn't here; he must have been eaten by a shark, hahaha!"

"Don't just stand there, go get that torch! Or we can kill you right now!"

“…So much nonsense.”

"boom"

"boom"

Longye pulled the two who had fallen to the ground and headed deeper into the cave.

After using the scimitar and pistol from the tourist attraction to unlock a mechanism in a stone door, Ryūno arrived at the main hall deep inside the cave.

Inside the hall, there was an extremely impressive pirate ship.

Although the treasure inside the ship had long been taken by previous generations, Tatsuno still went aboard for a tour.

After all, this was the first time he had ever seen a real pirate ship.

After the tour, Longye took out a few "small toys" from his system backpack and placed them on the surrounding walls.

After arranging everything, Longye gently woke up the two treasure hunters.

After opening their eyes, the two immediately got up from the ground.

"What is this?! Kid, what have you done?!"

"hateful!!!"

The long-haired man immediately pulled a pistol from his pocket, preparing to point it at Longye.

Seeing that the two were fully awake, Longye smiled and pointed to the large ship in front of them: "This must be the treasure you've been looking for, right? I've already checked it for you. There are so many chests of jewels and gold inside. Tsk tsk tsk, this is the first time I've ever seen so much gold~~~"

Upon hearing this, the two immediately turned to look at the pirate ship, their eyes lighting up with excitement.

Chapter 180 Treasure Hunters Aren't Afraid

For a moment, the two even forgot about Long Ye in front of them, staring intently at the pirate ship, their expressions excited.

Seeing their excitement, Longye smiled and teased, "How does it feel to have the treasure right in front of you? You went through all that trouble, even killing your companions, just to get this treasure, right?"

Upon hearing Long Ye's words, the long-haired man turned his head, brandished the gun in his hand, and sneered, "Kid, aren't you afraid? You really think I won't kill you?"

Under the long-haired man's surprised gaze, Longye gently grasped the gun in his hand: "Oh? Scared? You probably don't understand..."

Longye's bold move surprised the long-haired man, who subconsciously prepared to pull the trigger.

"Crack! Click!"

Before the man could even pull the trigger, Longye snapped the gun in half with one hand.

Upon seeing this, the eyes of both men bulged out.

"This, this, this...impossible!!!"

The next moment, the long-haired man threw away the broken pistol in his hand, picked up the curved knife on the ground, and pointed it at Longye with trembling hands.

Seeing their reactions, Ryūno gave them a gentle smile: "Since I'm still standing here... the only ones who will be afraid are you~"

The two looked at the smile on Longye's face and felt a chill run down their spines.

The long-haired man was the first to muster his courage and swung his knife at Longye.

Longye, however, stood still, showing no intention of dodging.

Seeing that his blade was about to slice through the neck of the boy in front of him, the long-haired man revealed a smug smile.

Hmph! You asked for it!

"Click, ding"

Two seconds later, the bloodshed the long-haired man had anticipated did not occur, and the curved knife in his hand broke in two.

Looking at the broken blade on the ground, his head seemed to freeze in place, and he didn't dare to look up at Long Ye.

The short-haired man behind him was also startled by the scene before him, his right hand holding the knife trembling uncontrollably.

For a moment, the hall fell into an eerie silence.

A few seconds later, Longye stepped forward and gently patted the long-haired man's shoulder.

The long-haired man trembled slightly, then immediately looked up in panic: "R-Right! The treasure! We can share the treasure with you!!"

Upon hearing this, Longye smiled and shook his head, then made a throat-slitting gesture.

"Sorry, I was just kidding. There's actually no treasure on the ship."

Upon hearing this, the long-haired man gritted his teeth.

Shortly after, as if grasping at a last straw, he spoke again: "You can't kill us! If you kill us, you'll become a murderer! You'll be arrested by the police!!!"

These outrageous words made Longye blink helplessly.

He never imagined that he would one day hear such outrageous words from a murderer.

"Hiss... Do you want to listen to what you're saying?"

After saying that, Longye punched the long-haired man in the stomach, causing him to kneel on the ground and lose his ability to speak.

The next moment, Longye instantly appeared in front of the short-haired man and scored a second goal.

Seeing the two kneeling on the ground clutching their stomachs, Longye casually waved his hand: "Alright, you two stay here for now, I'm leaving."

Amidst their astonished gazes, he walked straight toward the exit.

Longye's actions were clearly beyond their expectations. They looked at Longye's back and were somewhat unable to understand it for a moment.

This guy is actually planning to leave?!

Not only did they not kill me, but they also turned around and left without even taking the treasure?!

Just then, Longye had already reached the exit of the hall.

After observing the nearby rocks for a while, he muttered to himself, "Huh? Why does it smell like gas? Oh, I remember now, the seabed here seems to be rich in methane hydrate. It seems like this stuff can explode when it comes into contact with fire..."

After saying that, Longye turned around and smiled, then punched the stone wall near his head: "Since you're so interested in the treasure, then please 'sleep' with it~"

The moment he finished speaking, the exit was blocked by falling stones, and Longye disappeared from their sight.

The two people left in the hall now understood the meaning of what Longye had just said, and looked at the surrounding stone walls in horror.

As they deliberately searched, a faint smell of gas reached their noses.

Ignoring the excruciating pain in their stomachs, the two struggled to their feet.

The short-haired man grabbed his head with both hands and shouted, "What do we do?! He's already blocked the exits! We..."

"Shut up! It hasn't exploded yet! Don't worry, as long as we don't light it, there won't be any danger. Let's quickly find a way out!"

"Okay, okay..."

……

After emerging from the sea, Ryuno returned to the small boat, while Conan was still "sound asleep."

After glancing up at the darkening sky, Longye prepared to set sail back to Poseidon Island.

twenty minutes later

Kimiko, who had been knocked unconscious, staggered to the Sea God Manor where Ryūno and the others were staying.

Upon seeing her condition, Xiaolan and the others immediately ran out to help her up.

"It's the lady from the diving shop!"

"What's wrong, Ms. Kimiko? Why..."

"Ryūno and Conan have been captured by treasure hunters! They must have boarded the ship... You need to go and notify the police immediately..."

After she finished speaking, she closed her eyes weakly and began to breathe slowly.

After hearing his words, Xiaolan and the others immediately showed anxious expressions.

Sonoko immediately said, "Let's go, Ran! We need to go to the government office quickly and tell Uncle Mori and the others about this!"

"Okay!" Xiaolan nodded.

Just then, a familiar voice came over: "No need, help Miss Kimiko up, let's go to the hospital first."

"To the hospital?...Tatsuno?!"

Everyone stared in astonishment at Long Ye, frozen in place for a moment.

A moment later, Sonoko immediately laughed and said, "I knew it! With your skills, how could you possibly be captured!"

Seeing that Longye was unharmed, Xiaolan breathed a sigh of relief.

At that moment, Mitsuhiko and the other two saw Conan in Tatsuno's hand and started chattering.

"Look! Conan's arm is injured!"

"Yeah! And look at his head, there's a huge bump on it! It looks like it hurts a lot..."

"..."

Soon after, Tatsuno and the others arrived at the hospital on the island, and Uncle Mori and Inspector Megure and others also rushed over after hearing the news.

Looking at Conan and Kimiko on the hospital bed, Inspector Megure walked up to Tatsuno.

"Brother Longye, what exactly is this?"
