Conan: What's wrong with my Yan Shuangying's painting style?

Hearing his order, a mercenary hurried forward to open the arms box, but the contents inside surprised them.

There was a card inside the ammunition box, and on that card was the portrait of Kaito Kidd. As for the ammunition that Brian mentioned, it had disappeared at this moment, and no one knew where it was taken to.

"Boss, there's nothing!"

A mercenary looked up anxiously and said.

Hearing this, Brian was immediately shocked and hurriedly walked forward to the arms box. Without caring about his bossy demeanor as a death merchant, he grabbed the card inside.

The moment he saw the logo, he could confirm that it was indeed the logo of Kaito Kidd.

Because he had previously planned to steal the Sapphire Heart held by the Universal Theater Troupe, he had learned about the Sapphire Star.

Among them is the information about Sapphire Heart performing at the Space Theater, being given a letter of warning by Kaito Kidd, and causing Kaito Kidd's theft to fail, as well as some understanding of Kaito Kidd's affairs.

Therefore, the Death Merchant can now recognize at a glance that this is the preview letter logo of Kaito Kid.

But what he couldn't understand was why Kaito Kidd didn't steal the damn gem, but instead came to steal his arms.

Did Kaito Kidd switch from being a jewel thief to an arms thief?

The Death Merchant's eyes fell on the notice letter and saw it clearly written on it.

[I have accepted these things. If you want to take them back, please...]

The notice letter seems to be unfinished.

At least the Death Merchant couldn't see the trailer or the second half of the sentence above, he could only see Kaito Kidd's signature below.

Suddenly, an unknown anger surged in the heart of the dead wounded man. He finally knew who the other force that invaded Hollen was.

There is no doubt that the other force is Kaito Kidd, and the smoke bomb used to block the surveillance is undoubtedly the work of Kaito Kidd!

"Boss, it seems that only bullets have been taken away. All the firearms have disappeared."

The mercenary said.

Hearing this, the Death Merchant's rage burned even more fiercely. It was the first time he felt so angry at a thief. This anger was even greater than the anger he felt now when he was attacked by the armed group of unknown forces!

Is gunpowder such an inconvenient thing?

Are bullets without the corresponding caliber of firearms useless? Although I don't know why that Kaito Kidd stole his ammunition and stayed inside the freighter, even making trouble in the surveillance system.

But since this guy is here, don't even think about leaving.

Brian's face was gloomy as he spoke slowly.

"Next, do as I say... Let that damned thief and those guys who broke the agreement and attacked us without permission know how powerful we are!"

He placed his hand on the lid of the ammunition box next to him, pressing with extra force.

Chapter 431 The Last Line of Defense

Gunshots rang out one after another inside the freighter, and were getting closer and closer to the upper deck of the freighter.

Even the most optimistic person would now realize that the armed group of unknown forces was constantly moving upwards, and the mercenary group that intercepted them on the road could not pose any obstacle at all.

"Is this the Merchant of Death from Southeast Asia? Sure enough, his men are just this kind of scum. Expecting them to deal with Yan Shuangying is nonsense."

The codename killer of the mysterious organization pulled the trigger on the pistol in his hand again, his sights fixed on the mercenaries that appeared not far away.

The next moment, the pistol in his hand fired repeatedly, and several deadly bullets penetrated the heads of those mercenaries, killing them instantly.

These mercenaries, who had participated in countless operations in Southeast Asia and were considered elite mercenaries in the eyes of the Death Merchant, were killed at will like a piece of shit on the roadside in front of the dove.

He stepped over their bodies without hesitation and continued to move upwards, while the outer killer team behind him followed closely behind him, shooting the mercenaries who were not dead yet.

The surveillance footage that can be seen in the monitoring system is getting smaller and smaller. In the end, the only surveillance footage that the Death Merchant can see is the surveillance footage of the upper area.

The surveillance cameras in other areas have all been destroyed and can no longer display images.

At this moment, the mercenaries under the Death Merchant who were still in the monitoring room had a flash of surprise in their eyes, and they couldn't believe what was happening before their eyes.

He thought that they were considered elite among the mercenary circles in Southeast Asia, but why did they encounter such a one-sided battle in this small country city where guns were banned?

Where do these guys come from?

"Boss, those mercenaries are getting closer and closer to our area."

The mercenary picked up the walkie-talkie and sent a message to the Death Merchant who had left the monitoring room and went to an unknown place. The Death Merchant on the other end of the intercom replied in an obviously irritable mood.

"Move everyone over here, shrink the defense line, and concentrate on blocking the core area."

"The monitoring room is no longer needed. Shut down all the monitoring systems and have the people in the monitoring room move towards the core area. Don't worry about anything else. Just set up the firing points first."

Hearing this, several mercenaries in the monitoring room looked at each other and then nodded.

They quickly shut down the monitoring system in the monitoring room to prevent the surveillance footage inside the upper area from being used by the armed group of unknown forces, and then quickly headed to the core area according to the route they remembered.

————To be precise, that can’t actually be considered the core area of ​​the freighter.

It’s just that the Death Merchant’s lounge on the freighter was designed there, and with the boss’s mentality, they simply called it the core area. Now that the Death Merchant said this directly, it was obviously to let them know where to gather now.

Tick, tick, tick.

The sound of rapid footsteps echoed on the floor inside the freighter.

The few mercenary teams abandoned their previously planned defense points and moved directly towards the core area at an extremely fast pace. Although the sound of these footsteps failed to be noticed by Banjiu and his group who continued to advance, it made the other two people notice that something was wrong.

At this moment, Kuroba Toichi and Kuroba Kaito were also moving to the upper deck of the freighter.

They originally stayed on the freighter to prevent the Death Merchant from leaving Hakodate via the freighter and escaping legal sanctions, but now, their purpose is not just to prevent the Death Merchant from running away.

Now the code-name killer of the mysterious organization is also on this freighter.

If possible, of course they would capture the codename killer as well. This would not only strike a blow against the power of the mysterious organization, but also avenge Kuroba Kaito for the shot he took in the air.

With this mentality, Kuroba Toichi and Kuroba Kaito moved to the upper level through other shortcuts.

However, just as they arrived near the exit of the ventilation duct, they heard heavy footsteps coming from the corridor outside. Suddenly, both the father and the son were startled.

Although they could not see the images in the monitoring room, they did not know what instructions the Death Merchant had given.

However, judging from what they had discovered when they passed the scene of the exchange of fire between the mysterious organization and the mercenaries, the mercenaries were most likely organizing fire points along the way to try to stop the members of the mysterious organization from continuing to advance.

In other words, under normal circumstances, mercenaries would not run directly at full speed towards a location.

However, if he was a member of a mysterious organization, that would also be hard to believe. Even if the code-name killer of the mysterious organization, suspected to be Banjiu, was so unstoppable, it would be impossible for him to advance to this point in such a short time.

The father and son, the phantom thief, had to take a shortcut to reach the upper level at this point in time.

How could Turtledove be able to travel long distances, engage in firefights with the Death Merchant's mercenaries along the way, and reach the upper level of the freighter before them while carrying guns as a burden?

If this is really possible, then the turtledove may really have grown a pair of wings that can fly!

"Dad, this direction... is the area where we found the secret room earlier."

Kuroba Kaito's voice rang out.

After hearing the direction of the footsteps, he recalled the general structure of the entire freighter, and then used his memory to quickly determine the direction of the group of people outside.

Although it is impossible to tell whether the group of people outside are members of a mysterious organization or a mercenary team under the Death Merchant.

However, what Kuroba Kaito can assert is.

Since this group of people were heading in the direction where they had discovered the arms before, it was most likely because of the presence of the Death Merchant. Perhaps the guy named Brian D. Menkura was in that area now!

The father and son came to this conclusion almost at the same time.

They looked at each other sideways, and then reached a consensus in unison.

No matter what, the Death Merchant cannot die now, at least not at the hands of the mysterious organization. If he has to die, he should be sent to the police station and sentenced to death by the court.

"Let's go, it's time to change the route."

Hei Yu Daoyi said calmly.

His identity as the first generation Kaito Kidd allowed him to think calmly no matter what situation he was in. He scanned the situation outside the ventilation duct exit and then gave another route of movement.

Now, they can only hope that the Death Merchant will not be killed by the Death Merchant before they arrive.

If I really can't even hold on for this little bit of time...

Then there is really no other way.

Chapter 432 Encirclement

The mercenary team under the Death Merchant has gathered in the core area of ​​the upper deck of the freighter at this moment.

The firing points have been set up under the command of the Death Merchant, aimed at the corridor leading to the core area, ensuring that no one can break into the freighter from the front.

However, both the other mercenaries and the Death Merchant himself knew that——

If we stay here all the time, there is actually no point. The difference in the quality of the soldiers on both sides is obviously huge. If we fight hard, the mercenaries under the Death Merchant will definitely be the first to be killed.

Even if you really hold on and make it to the next day, the final result will not change.

Because this is Hakodate, not Southeast Asia, they will not have any support in defending here. If someone really comes, it can only be enemy support or police officers coming to arrest someone.

However, even so, they can only defend here now.

The reason is simple. Given the nature of this group of armed teams from unknown forces to kill all the mercenaries they encounter, if they don't build a firepower network to stop the other side from advancing, it is only a matter of time before they are all killed.

This happened at the port, and both the upper and lower doors were blocked by the other side.

Unless they choose to break out of the window and jump directly from the light-transmitting window on the upper deck of the freighter, there is no way to escape from here without engaging in combat.

However, if you really break the light-transmitting window and jump down from there, the consequences will most likely be quite ugly.

After all, the freighter is a three-story structure, which is much higher than that of a conventional ship. Jumping from the light-transmitting window is a life-threatening operation, even if there is seawater below as a buffer.

Instead of jumping down without firing a shot and risking your life, it would be better to build a defense line here and buy time.

Maybe there will be some other new developments later?

The Death Merchant stands in the room in the core area.

His gaze fell on the ammunition boxes, his eyes narrowed slightly, and the anger in his heart grew stronger and stronger. He never thought that the situation would degenerate to this point.

If he had not come to look for the Axe River secret treasure, how could he have been caught in the center of such a storm vortex, and he would not have been inexplicably chased to the freighter by people from other forces.

If he had stopped in time tonight and not let Webster take people to the treasure map of unknown origin to confirm the specific situation, but instead let Webster directly follow him to evacuate and board the freighter.

Now, when facing those powerful teams from other forces, the fight will not end up like it does now!
