Conan Rick's Investigator

The period during which Stonehenge was built coincides with the Third Dynasty of Ancient Egypt.

At that time, ancient Egypt had already mastered the technology to build huge pyramids, so building a Stonehenge was not a problem at all.

The only question is why did the Egyptians go all the way to Britain to build a Stonehenge?

But the current situation may be explained.

That is, in order to facilitate his own reincarnation and resurrection in the future, Nevren Ka built his own sacrificial site in this remote land.

Nevren Ka should have predicted that after his death, his dynasty would collapse, and everything related to him would be overthrown and destroyed.

So he built Stonehenge in a place that no Egyptian at the time had expected, leaving it for future generations to use to fulfill the prophecy of reincarnation.

Now, the fact that the zoo is organizing a trip here is the best evidence.

Qin Zhibo stepped on the accelerator and the car accelerated towards Stonehenge.

We didn't see a single car along the way, and the entire plain was incredibly desolate.

After 20 minutes, Qin Zhibo slowly stepped on the brakes and stopped the car on the road.

"arrive……"

Qin Zhibo greeted the two people in the car, then got out first.

He opened the telescope and looked toward the north side of the road.

About 200 meters away, the dancing flames highlighted the tall outlines of the boulders. Looking through the gaps between the boulders, one could see a huge bonfire burning inside.

There were quite a few figures around the bonfire, and it seemed like they were having a grand bonfire party.

Outside the Stonehenge, there are many cars parked, forming a simple encirclement.

"It seems like this is it..."

“This is where the ceremony will end up.”

After Qin Zhibo confirmed the target, he immediately turned around and prepared various props.

Kuroba Kaito followed closely behind, taking out all the smoke bombs and flash bombs from the suitcase and giving some to Qin Zhibo.

Looking at the large number of familiar props in the suitcase, Dr. Agasa was dumbfounded.

"Did you get all these from...Huang Zhizhu?"

Kuroba Kaito did not answer, but checked the poker gun again.

"Doctor, you just stay here, we'll go."

Kuroba Kaito smiled at Professor Agasa, and set off with Qin Zhibo who had already packed up and prepared everything.

The two men had changed into black clothes and split into two groups, encircling Stonehenge from the east and west sides respectively.

Fortunately, due to the solar eclipse, the entire Salisbury Plain seems to be covered by a huge layer of dark haze, resulting in low visibility.

Qin Zhibo crawled forward, and under the cover of night, he soon reached the circle of cars surrounding Stonehenge.

Qin Zhibo, who was lying on the grass, rolled over, crawled under the car, and saw the scene on the other side of the car.

In the outermost ring of Stonehenge, a person in a brown windbreaker stands in the middle of each gap, blocking the entrance and exit.

Inside Stonehenge, in addition to the flickering bonfire, you can also see a group of people in black standing in the firelight.

number of people...

Due to the obstruction of the huge rock, Qin Zhibo couldn't see the exact number of people inside.

He could only take out the [Glass Bottle] from his inventory and summon Minase Yangmeng...

Meanwhile, inside Stonehenge.

Next to the bonfire, a heavy stone bed was placed in the center of the entire Stonehenge.

Next to the stone bed, there was a huge black coffin placed side by side.

Kudo Shinichi and Mao Li Ran were tied to the grass three meters away and guarded by two people. They could only watch everything.

"It's almost time, the ceremony can begin..."

At this time, a man in black who was squatting beside the stone platform and staring at the laptop suddenly turned around and spoke to everyone.

What surprised Kudo Shinichi was that the man in black actually spoke with a woman's voice.

At her command, the many men in black who were standing scattered around the scene gathered together.

They formed a circle, surrounding the stone bed and the black coffin.

"Let's take off our disguises together."

"The ceremony of paying homage to the Great Reincarnator does not require a person wearing a hat..."

At the call of the first man in black, the men in black who were standing in a circle took off their hoods one after another.

Including the original man in black, human faces appeared under the hood.

Especially some of the faces among them, Kudo Shinichi and Mao Li Ran still have some impression of them, they are the people they met in London in the past few days!

There was Elphik Said, the owner of the Egyptian spice shop on London's Flea Street.

There was He Fang, the president of the He Chamber of Commerce, who came all the way from China.

There is the tennis player, Wang Haili.

As for the man in black who served as the host, he had long, smooth chestnut hair, grey eyes, a pretty girlish face and a well-proportioned figure, and was no less attractive than Maori Ran.

Kudo Shinichi was stunned at first, then he suddenly remembered something in his mind.

This person is Natsumi Kosaka!

The Russian-American girl who took the initiative to approach the Suzuki family during the Egg of Memories incident.

Kudo Shinichi remembered that after the castle in Yokosuka was burned down, Natsumi Kosaka suddenly disappeared and never appeared again.

Why is she here?

At this time, Snake walked to the side of Natsumi Kosaka, raised his head in the direction of Shinichi and Ran, and asked.

"Scott, what should we do with that woman?"

Chapter 1318 The True and False Kaito Kidd

"Scott, what should we do with that woman?"

Snake refers to Mao Lilan.

When Snake escaped from the farm just now, he had originally thought of leaving Mao Lilan as a hostage if he was caught by the other party.

But now that the tail has been shed, there is no need for this.

Xia Mei glanced at Mao Lilan and replied, "Don't worry about her for now. The ceremony is about to begin. Let's check the network signal one last time."

"Although 'that sir' and the other sirs cannot be present in person, they will watch the entire ceremony through that machine..."

Under Xia Mei's command, Snake walked to the tripod nearby and made a final check of the camera on it.

Kudo Shinichi and Mouri Ran, who were tied up nearby, looked at the familiar face, with shock in their eyes not concealed at all.

Kosaka Natsumi...why is she here?

And why did that person call her Scoobing?

Kudo Shinichi still clearly remembers that Shi Kaobing was the woman named Pu Si Qinglan.

However, looking back on the Egg of Memory incident, the only two suspicious points are the information about "Scoop" released by Interpol, which said that Scoob was a killer who was good at using a pistol and was accustomed to shooting the target's right eye.

The man he faced, Pu Siqinglan, was very skilled, but he used a sickle instead of a pistol.

The second suspicious thing is that after the incident, Natsumi Kosaka disappeared.

Could it be that she is the real Scorch Soldier and her reasoning is wrong...

Kudo Shinichi narrowed his eyes slightly and thought about the Egg of Memories incident and Qin Zhibo's involvement.

If it was Qin Zhibo, he would definitely know what was going on...

At the same time, Qin Zhibo was lying on the grass outside Stonehenge, observing the situation inside Stonehenge under the cover of night.

He dropped the [Guardian Totem] into Stonehenge, and like watching a live broadcast, he could see most of the scenes of the ceremony.

It's just an upward perspective.

He also saw some familiar faces among the people attending the ceremony.

There is Natsumi Kosaka who I haven't seen for a long time.

She is the international killer "Scooping", a member of the Zoo organization, and her real name is "Hauptmann Natsumi".

She and Pu Siqinglan are twins, both descendants of a Russian evil monk.

As well as Snake and Zhang Dapao, who have not appeared since the Las Vegas incident.

The reason why he is called a big shot is that although he is a cadre, he is simple-minded, basically equivalent to the vodka and tequila of the neighboring organization.

The people participating in the ceremony include Asian, African and European faces, so it can be said that all the elements are complete.

When Snake finally adjusted the camera, Xia Mei asked him to bring Kudo Shinichi up.

In this way, Kudo Shinichi was taken away from Mouri Ran, and his hands and feet were tied to the stone bed in the middle, next to him was the pure black coffin.

Kudo Shinichi tried to struggle, but the ropes were tied very tightly.

He could only look at Xia Mei in front of him angrily and asked, "What are you going to do?"

Xia Mei raised a somewhat sarcastic smile at the corner of her mouth, "Kaito Kidd, I will use your body to achieve the reincarnation of the Black Pharaoh..."

"Black Pharaoh?" Kudo Shinichi was stunned.

He had never heard of the Black Pharaoh, but felt that it should be a being related to the occult or supernatural powers.

But why is this kind of thing related to "Kaito Kidd"?

Although he is not Kaito Kidd, he knows that in the current situation, even if he proves that he is not Kaito Kidd, these people will not let him go.

Even if the other party confirms that he is not Kaito Kidd, he may directly kill himself and Xiaolan.

The only thing I can do now is to wait for the opportunity to escape...

After making all the preparations, Xia Mei stood solemnly behind the stone bed and the coffin, and gave a solemn

declare.

"Everyone, we believers gather here to witness the reincarnation of the Black Pharaoh!"

"After thousands of years of waiting, the time for the stars to return has finally arrived! Nefren Ka's prophecy is about to be fulfilled..."

"Then, let the reincarnation ceremony begin!"

Following Xia Mei's announcement, the believers around her lowered their heads and began to chant the same hymn in unison.

At first, their voices were low, speaking some unknown ancient language, yet with a strange elegance.

About a minute later, their voices switched to English that modern people can understand.

"The universe is ever-changing, but the soul ultimately knows its Master. My Master's sleep is but the greatest cycle of all life..."

"The prophecy on the Wall of Truth will eventually be fulfilled—Ghroth's arrival will lift the coffins that bury the stars from their graves. The long winter will finally end, and the time of awakening is about to come!"

At this point in the ceremony, everyone's spirits suddenly became high and they all shouted in unison.

"Come back! Come back!"

"From Erem to Dasir, from Cairo to England, from the Land of the Blind Ape to the Wall of Truth, your people are calling your name!"

"Nevren Ka, the Pharaoh who dwells in darkness!"

"Come back! Come back!"

Xia Mei shouted praises and took out a huge blue gem from her wide sleeves.

She held the heavy gem in one hand and cut a line on Kudo Shinichi's arm with the other.

Blood flowed from the wound, bringing a tiny bit of warmth to the cold stone bed.

Kudo Shinichi felt the pain in his arm, but he could only grit his teeth and hold on.
