Anime Crossover: Master is Not Here Today

"Miss, would you like to come in?"

Upon hearing Moriarty's question, a flicker of surprise seemed to cross his face, but he quickly grinned, a strange light gleaming in his eyes, and asked in a low, eerie tone:

"Could you open the window and let me in?"

"Of course, if you'd like."

To everyone's surprise, amidst light laughter, Moriarty actually opened the window and stepped aside, very gentlemanly inviting the other party in!

"hehe."

At that moment, Shimizu Megumi let out a chillingly light laugh, and amidst the solemn expressions of everyone, she walked in through the window, and then—

"Oh!"

Suddenly, a dark shadow flashed by, and Shimizu Megumi's figure flew backward at an extremely fast speed with a violent collision sound, crashing heavily into the open ground outside the hospital.

Everyone looked closely and saw the black doll that Fujimaru Ritsuka had brought standing on the windowsill, brandishing a weapon as if it had come to life, then staring at Shimizu Megumi lying on the ground, and saying viciously:

"No, you're not allowed in!"

Upon hearing this, everyone stared at it in disbelief.

"—The doll talked!!?"

Chapter 215. The Battle at the Hospital

215.

Everyone stared in shock at the little doll standing by the window. Besides discovering that it could move and talk, what shocked them even more was that it had easily repelled the resurrected corpse.

Not only the Kuku doll, but also the Vi doll, which had been sitting quietly next to Ai Haibara without moving, stood up and gestured wildly at the Kuku doll, seemingly quite dissatisfied with it.

The little doll turned around and looked at her smugly.

Ai Haibara glanced at the two dolls, then looked at the Apollo doll in her arms, and tentatively greeted it with curiosity:

"Um, hello?"

The Apollo doll didn't speak, but she could clearly feel it move slightly, which was its silent response.

Ai Haibara couldn't help but feel a little surprised.

She had seen these dolls in Fujimaru Ritsuka's bedroom before.

However, when Fujimaru Ritsuka handed the three dolls to her and said that they could protect them, she thought that the three dolls only had the ability to alert, ward off evil, and protect, similar to amulets.

But I never expected it to be protection in the physical sense?

Moriarty stood by the window, a slight smile on his face, having anticipated this outcome. Occasionally playing such little pranks was a fun spice in his life.

Besides playing a prank, he also wanted to use this opportunity to test the other party's fighting ability.

However, judging from the current situation, the opponent seems to be much weaker in terms of combat power than he expected, apart from having some special abilities.

Of course, it seems to be quite resilient.

If it were an ordinary person, being hit like that by a Kiosk plushie and then falling from the second floor, they would probably be out of breath and unable to breathe properly.

However, after regaining her senses, Shimizu Megumi staggered to her feet, seemingly without suffering any serious injuries.

However, the lighthearted expression on her face vanished, replaced by confusion and panic. She had no idea what had attacked her!

So she glanced back at the second-floor window one last time, then turned and ran instead of continuing.

However, the situation is no longer one where she can simply leave whenever she wants.

"You've only just arrived and you're already planning to leave? Isn't that too hasty?"

"What are you?!"

Shimizu Megumi's face instantly turned to terror. Moriarty, who had been standing at the second-floor window, had suddenly appeared in front of her, blocking her way.

"As you can see, I am just an old man who is nearing the end of his life."

"But what are you?"

Moriarty strolled closer to her with amusement, while Shimizu Megumi, who should have been the attacker, retreated in fear, making it seem as if Moriarty was the more terrifying one.

But just then, a dark figure suddenly appeared behind Moriarty, approaching him at an extremely fast speed and launching a sneak attack on his unguarded back!

"Oh!"

At the critical moment, Moriarty turned around instantly as if he had eyes in the back of his head, and used a gorgeous cane that he seemed to have produced from nowhere to block the opponent's attack.

At this moment, the attacker's figure was also revealed. He was a young man with short blue hair and a strange hairstyle that resembled animal ears.

Seeing that his sneak attack had not only failed but had even been firmly blocked by his opponent, the young man's eyes narrowed, and he exclaimed in exaggerated surprise:

"Old man, are you really human?"

Moriarty chuckled:

"Who knows."

Feeling that his power seemed completely unable to shake Moriarty, the man was secretly alarmed and immediately distanced himself from him. Then he said to Shimizu Megumi:

"You go first, leave this to me."

"Oh, um!"

Shimizu Megumi nodded hastily, preparing to escape in another direction.

However, at this moment, Ai Haibara was already leaning on the second-floor windowsill, holding a miniature pistol that matched her size and looked like a toy, and aiming it at Megumi Shimizu.

Then, she pulled the trigger.

Sudden——

A barely perceptible whooshing sound rang out, and before Shimizu Megumi could react, the 'bullet' struck her neck with pinpoint accuracy.

Shimizu Megumi was about to start her escape, but the moment she was shot, her movements suddenly stopped, and she collapsed to the ground, unconscious.

Seeing that her attack had worked, Ai Haibara breathed a sigh of relief.

The miniature pistol she's holding now wasn't given to her by Fujimaru Ritsuka; it was a weapon she prepared herself.

More accurately, this is a tranquilizer gun that she asked Professor Agasa to make for her, claiming it was for self-defense, but of course it can be used for more than just self-defense, like what we are doing now.

The anesthetic used in the tranquilizer bullets is the same as the tranquilizer dart used by Conan, but in a larger dose.

This time, she brought not only a tranquilizer pistol but also other equipment.

"!?"

The young man was somewhat surprised and puzzled by Shimizu Megumi's unusual behavior, but he also quickly noticed Haibara Ai on the windowsill, and was momentarily surprised and confused.

child?

At this moment, Moriarty, who was standing in front of him, looked at him with interest and said:

"Speaking of which, you and that little girl lying on the ground seem a bit different."

"If she is a resurrected corpse, then what are you?"

"Oh, who knows."

The young man returned Moriarty's reply to him, while quickly considering his next move.

Although he didn't know who the old man in front of him was, he understood from their brief exchange that the other party was a formidable opponent, whose strength and speed were at least equal to his own.

Moreover, Shimizu Megumi has now been knocked down. He can retreat on his own, but it would be difficult to take her with him.

However, there is another solution.

The moment he figured out his plan, the young man suddenly jumped up, his target being Ai Haibara on the windowsill!

If he can also capture a hostage, the situation can be reversed immediately.

That's what he was thinking, but he was clearly mistaken about one thing—

The Shimizu Megumi who flew out of the room wasn't sent flying by Moriarty.

The young man leaped up to the second floor at lightning speed, but before he could get close to Ai Haibara, a short, dark figure suddenly flew out of the room and collided with him, producing a dull thud.

"puff!"

"Oh!"

The next moment, the young man crashed to the ground at an even faster speed, making an even louder impact.

After knocking down its opponent, the Vi doll landed back on Ai Haibara's head and turned to look at the Kuro doll. Although the doll's face couldn't make any expression, its posture and movements suggested that it seemed quite pleased with itself.

This time, it was Xiaoku's turn to be quite unhappy. He accused the other party of cheating and left the room on his own.

The doll responded that there had never been such a rule.

Then, the two dolls started arguing, and it looked like a conflict could break out at any moment.

Ai Haibara stood carefully, making sure the V-shaped doll on her head didn't fall off.

On the other side, outside the window—

What it is! ?

Although the young man had fallen badly, the injuries were not a problem for him; he was just a little surprised and uncertain about the unknown thing that had attacked him.

However, as he prepared to stand up, a cane pressed against his chest, irresistibly pinning him to the ground once again.

Needless to say, the owner of the cane was Moriarty.

".?!"

Then, he was suddenly shocked to discover that no matter how hard he tried, he could not break or move the cane in front of his chest!

What is this power?!

Moriarty looked down at the young man at his feet, maintaining his elegant demeanor, and said with a smile:

"Well then, young man, let's have a chat."
