Detective Conan: Starting with Yukiko covered in black stockings!

However, to successfully complete this incredibly difficult task, we must obtain Cao Yu's full cooperation. Lin Yuan's tone was heavy and firm, each word seemingly uttered with immense force, making everyone present deeply feel the seriousness of the matter.

Without the slightest hesitation, Cao Yu's eyes blazed with unwavering determination as he declared, "As long as it's to stop the Black Organization's evil deeds, I'll do it no matter the cost!" His eyes revealed a resolute determination to face death; in the long struggle against the Black Organization, he had long since disregarded his own safety.

Lin Yuan frowned slightly, his eyes revealing deep worry.

"Cao Yu, you must understand that the danger of this mission is beyond imagination. It could very well lead you to an abyss of no return and endanger your life."

You must consider this carefully.

Moreover, your current abilities are far from sufficient to successfully execute this task; you need to further improve them and be able to control it precisely.

This is by no means an easy task; the slightest carelessness could lead to total defeat and a desperate situation. Lin Yuan was well aware of the danger of the mission and did not want Cao Yu to recklessly take risks due to momentary impulse.

Conan pushed up his glasses, the lenses flashing a cold light in the moonlight, revealing his sharp mind.

After thinking for a moment, he said, "Lin Yuan, since you have been fighting against the Black Organization, you must also have your own power and abundant resources."

"Could you tell us the specifics of the mission in detail? This way, we can conduct a comprehensive assessment and develop a more complete plan." Conan knew that when faced with such a challenging task, a thorough understanding of the mission details was key to formulating a successful strategy.

Lin Yuan nodded and slowly said, "The Black Organization has established their last core base on a deserted island."

The deserted island was hidden in the vast sea, surrounded by strange and unpredictable weather, as if it were a forbidden place deliberately isolated by nature, which was difficult for ordinary people to approach.

On that island, they are developing a biological weapon capable of disrupting the world order.

The consequences would be unimaginable if this weapon were put into use.

A global catastrophe will erupt instantly, countless lives will be lost in an instant, and the whole world will be plunged into endless darkness, chaos and despair.

We must do everything we can to infiltrate the base and completely destroy their research and development facilities and related important data.

However, the base is extremely well-defended, equipped with various advanced defense systems that incorporate the most cutting-edge technology, and guarded by a group of elite guards who have undergone rigorous training and possess exceptional skills.

"In breaking through defenses and confronting the enemy, Cao Yu's unique abilities will play a crucial role." Lin Yuan described the mission in detail, leaving no stone unturned, giving everyone a clearer and more intuitive understanding of the enormous challenge they were about to face.

Amuro Tooru crossed his arms and analyzed with a serious expression: "Judging from your description, such tight defense is probably far from enough for just a few of us."

"Lin Yuan, how much effective support can you provide?" Amuro Tooru knew the difficulty of this mission and understood that it was almost impossible to succeed with the existing forces.

Lin Yuan pondered for a moment and said, "I have a well-trained squad. Although the number of people is not large, every member is an elite among elites."

They have followed me in the shadows for many years, battling the Black Organization and enduring countless life-or-death battles. They share a deep trust and unparalleled understanding with each other.

In addition, I went to great lengths to gather detailed intelligence on the base's defense layout, which will be of great help to our operations.

However, even with these advantages, we cannot let our guard down; the mission remains fraught with uncertainties and unpredictable dangers. Lin Yuan was confident in his team, but also clearly recognized the arduousness and complexity of the mission.

Chapter 228 The Unquenchable Flame

Vermouth frowned slightly and said cautiously, "Even with this support and intelligence, the difficulty of the mission is still beyond our imagination."

Cao Yu, although you have improved your control over your abilities to a certain extent, you still need to undergo more rigorous training to face such a powerful and cunning enemy.

"In this mission, the slightest negligence could cost us all our lives." Vermouth, known for her caution, knew that this mission allowed no room for carelessness; any small mistake could lead to total failure.

Cao Yu nodded firmly, his eyes revealing an unwavering determination, as if burning with an inextinguishable flame.

"I will definitely do my best! Lin Yuan, you said you have a way to help me further control my abilities, how exactly should I do it?" Cao Yu was eager to improve his abilities, hoping to contribute more and stronger power to the fight against the Black Organization.

Lin Yuan looked at Cao Yu and said seriously, "In a secluded valley not far from here, there exists a special energy source."

This energy and the abilities within you seem to be twin forces from the same source, resonating with each other.

If you can train there, you will definitely be able to greatly improve your control over your abilities.

However, that valley was far from benevolent; it was fraught with danger, filled with strange energy fluctuations and deadly threats lurking in the shadows.

Those energy fluctuations are like ferocious beasts lurking in the darkness, ready to launch a sudden attack at any moment. If you are not careful, you will be devoured by the powerful energy, with unimaginable consequences. Lin Yuan described the dangers in the valley in detail, hoping that Cao Yu would be fully prepared for the challenges he was about to face.

Without the slightest hesitation, Cao Yu said decisively, "I'll go!" His voice was firm and powerful, as if he were issuing a resounding challenge to fate, full of fearless courage.

Conan patted Cao Yu on the shoulder, his eyes full of trust and encouragement.

“We’ll go with you.” Conan knew the danger Cao Yu was about to face, and he didn’t want Cao Yu to face these unknown challenges alone, so he decided to fight alongside him.

The group then began making intensive preparations to set off for the mysterious valley.

Throughout the journey, Cao Yu's emotions were like surging waves, both tense and excited.

The tension stems from the impending unknown dangers, the crises lurking in the valley like shadows hidden in the depths of darkness, inspiring fear and trepidation; the excitement comes from finally having the opportunity to gain deeper control over one's abilities, significantly increasing the chances of victory against the Black Organization, as if seeing a glimmer of hope at the end of a long, dark tunnel.

When they arrived at the valley, a mysterious and powerful energy rushed towards them, overwhelming their senses like a surging tide.

The valley was filled with colorful light, which danced in the air like nimble sprites, as if taking everyone into a dreamlike and fantastical world.

··Requesting 0 flowers····

However, beneath this beautiful exterior lie countless unknown dangers.

The multicolored light seemed to contain a mysterious and powerful force, which fascinated people while also instilling a deep sense of fear.

Not long after Cao Yu stepped into the valley, he felt a powerful suction force, like a black hole, as if an invisible and enormous hand was tightly gripping his body, trying to drag him into the ground and devour him completely.

He was startled and quickly released the light of purification. The light instantly bloomed in his hand, like a brilliant sun, illuminating the surrounding darkness.

The light of purification and the suction force engaged in a fierce struggle, their light and suction intertwining and colliding to create dazzling sparks.

Conan and the others watched their surroundings with high vigilance. Their eyes were filled with wariness, their hands gripped their weapons tightly, and their nerves were on edge, ready to deal with any unexpected situation at any moment.

"Cao Yu, concentrate and try to feel the subtle connection between this energy and your abilities. Follow its patterns to find a way to break the suction." Lin Yuan shouted a reminder from the side. His voice echoed in the valley, as loud as a bell, bringing Cao Yu a sense of calm and strength.

Cao Yu took a deep breath, trying to clear his mind of all distractions and concentrate all his energy, attempting to merge the purifying light with the mysterious energy around him.

Chapter 229 Base Defense Layout Diagram

He slowly closed his eyes, trying to feel the subtle connection between the two energies, as if he were in a mysterious and vast energy world.

In this world, he can feel the flow, collision, and fusion of energy.

Gradually, with his tenacious will and keen perception, he found the balance between the two and successfully broke free from the powerful suction.

When he opened his eyes again, there was a hint of fatigue in them, but even more so, an unwavering determination.

As they continued deeper into the valley, the strange energy fluctuations of the various "five, four, three" types became increasingly intense, surging like waves one after another.

Sometimes, beams of energy shoot in from all directions like a dense rain of arrows, so fast that people barely have time to react.

Cao Yu had no choice but to react quickly, using his agility to move swiftly while simultaneously releasing purifying light to defend himself.

During this process, he constantly adjusted the form and intensity of the purifying light to adapt to different attacks.

Sometimes, he transforms the light of purification into an indestructible shield, steadily blocking the fierce impact of the energy rays. The rays strike the shield, splashing up brilliant streaks of light. Other times, he transforms it into an incomparably sharp sword, slicing through the incoming energy rays with overwhelming force. Wherever the sword passes, the rays dissipate.

After several days and nights of arduous training, Cao Yu's control over his abilities finally made a qualitative leap.

He can not only control the range and intensity of the purifying light more precisely, allowing it to expand or contract at will, but also perfectly combine it with his own combat skills to form more powerful and diverse attack and defense methods.

He can make the light of purification spread out instantly, like a huge protective net, covering a wider area and providing all-round protection for his teammates; he can also condense it into a single point and unleash an incredibly powerful attack, like a powerful cannonball, enough to destroy all obstacles in his path.

"Cao Yu, your abilities have improved dramatically."

"Next, we should seriously discuss how to carry out the mission of destroying the core of the Black Organization." Lin Yuan looked at Cao Yu, his eyes full of approval and satisfaction.

He knew that Cao Yu had put in tremendous effort and hardship during his training these past few days, and he had personally witnessed his growth and transformation.

Everyone sat together, and Lin Yuan carefully unfolded a hand-drawn layout of the base's defenses.

The map detailed and accurately marked the distribution of the base's various defensive facilities and guards, with every detail clearly visible, as if the entire base's defense system was being displayed to everyone without reservation.

"This is the entrance to the base, the most heavily guarded area, with multiple layers of rock-solid energy shields and an automatic attack system that can lock onto targets and launch attacks instantly."

Those energy shields can withstand all kinds of powerful attacks, and the automatic attack system is equipped with advanced tracking and strike technology. Once locked on, escape is almost impossible.

However, there is a relatively weak point on the back of the base, but to get there, you need to cross an area full of deadly traps.

That area hides countless dangers; a single misstep could trigger a trap and plunge one into utter ruin. Lin Yuan pointed to the map, explaining the base's defensive layout in detail and patiently, giving everyone a clear understanding of the terrain and defenses they were about to face.

Conan pointed to the map and quickly analyzed, "We can split into two groups. One group can feign an attack on the front to create a strong momentum and attract the enemy's attention; the other group can sneak in from the rear and strike at the heart of the enemy's territory."

The feinting attack should create the illusion of a large-scale offensive, misleading the enemy into believing that our main attack is from the front, thus diverting their forces and attention and creating an excellent opportunity for the infiltrating force. Conan's thinking was quick and meticulous, and he quickly devised a seemingly feasible battle plan.

4. Amuro Tooru nodded in agreement, adding, "The team launching a frontal attack needs to have strong firepower and excellent jamming capabilities to disperse the enemy's forces to the greatest extent possible."

The infiltrating team, on the other hand, must act swiftly and stealthily, avoiding traps and reaching the core area as quickly as possible.

The frontline team must do everything possible to create chaos, preventing the enemy from paying attention to the infiltrating team from the rear, thus buying them enough time and space. Amuro Tooru further refined the details of the plan, ensuring its feasibility and effectiveness.

Chapter 230: A Series of Traps

Cao Yu volunteered, saying, "I'll join the infiltration team. My abilities can help us break through traps and defenses."

"I can use the Purifying Light to detect the location of traps in advance, opening up safe passages for everyone. It can also provide powerful defensive and offensive capabilities when encountering danger, ensuring the team's safety." Cao Yu hopes to fully utilize his abilities during the mission and contribute to its successful completion.

Vermouth also stated, "I am skilled in covert operations and intelligence gathering, and I also infiltrated the area."

"I can use my disguise and stealth skills to scout ahead for the team, promptly identifying potential dangers and enemy ambushes, preventing the team from getting into trouble." Vermouth's abilities are crucial in this mission; her addition provides an important layer of security for the infiltration team.

Lin Yuan looked at everyone and said firmly, "Okay, I will lead my team to be responsible for the frontal feint attack."

2. I will set up some advanced jamming equipment in advance to buy as much time as possible for the infiltrating team.

"My squad will launch a fierce and sustained attack from the front, drawing the enemy's main force and creating the best opportunity for you to infiltrate." Lin Yuan took the initiative to shoulder the heavy responsibility of the feint attack from the front, laying a solid foundation for the success of the entire mission.

After a thorough and meticulous planning and preparation, the day of the operation finally arrived.

Under the cover of night, the group moved stealthily toward the Black Organization's deserted island base like ghosts.

On the sea, the waves surged and roared like angry beasts, as if venting their power for the fierce battle that was about to begin.

The ship tossed and turned violently in the waves, like a leaf adrift in a storm, seemingly about to be swallowed up by the merciless sea.

As they approached the deserted island, the feinting attack team took the lead.

At Lin Yuan's command, his squad quickly launched chaff and jamming missiles.

In an instant, flames soared into the sky on the front of the deserted island, explosions were deafening, and alarms blared.

The flames were as bright as day, illuminating the entire front of the deserted island. The explosions were like thunder, resounding through the sky, and the sirens were sharp and piercing, as if trying to tear through the night.

As expected, the enemies inside the base were drawn to this sudden and fierce attack and rushed towards the front.

After successfully destroying the Black Organization's core base on the deserted island, the group thought they could finally catch their breath, but the harsh reality was like a bucket of cold water, mercilessly extinguishing any glimmer of hope in their hearts.

They were acutely aware that the Black Organization was like a giant shadow lurking in the depths of darkness, its threat still ever-present, and perhaps even brewing an even more terrifying conspiracy.

Guided by the hidden clues provided by Lin Yuan, they turned their attention to the organization's early experimental base.

It was a place sealed by time and sin. Although everyone knew that what awaited them might be an even more dangerous and deadly situation than before, in order to completely dismantle the black organization and restore peace to the world, they did not hesitate and resolutely embarked on this perilous journey.

As the group approached the organization's early experimental base, a musty, rotten smell mixed with an eerie aura wafted over them, as if it were foul air emanating from the depths of hell.

The base's exterior resembles a long-abandoned ancient castle, with mottled moss covering the walls. The moss, like wrinkles of time, tells the story of the vicissitudes that once took place here.

However, beneath this seemingly dilapidated exterior, a chilling aura emanated from within, as if countless cold eyes were lurking in the shadows, watching their every move, sending shivers down everyone's spines.

With trepidation, everyone cautiously stepped into the base.

In an instant, a pungent, nauseating odor assaulted everyone's nostrils. It was a strange smell, a mixture of the pungent smell of chemicals, the putrid smell of fish, and the metallic smell of blood, as if it were a mixture of various evil forces, making everyone's stomach churn and almost causing them to vomit.

The base was dark and gloomy, with only a few flickering lights, like candles in the wind, barely illuminating their way forward on the unknown road ahead.

The walls around them were covered with blurry portraits. When the group got closer to take a closer look, they couldn't help but gasp. The portraits seemed to be distorted sketches of human experiments. The lines on the sketches seemed to have come to life, twisting and writhing in the dim light, sending chills down their spines.

Chapter 231 Deadly Mechanism

"Everyone, please be careful. Danger emanates from every corner here," Conan warned cautiously in a low voice.

His sharp gaze was like a sword, vigilantly scanning his surroundings, not missing a single subtle movement. Every movement of air, every faint sound, could conceal a deadly crisis.

Just as Conan had predicted, the group hadn't gone far when they encountered their first deadly trap.

A sharp metallic scraping sound rang out, and suddenly, without warning, a row of sharp steel spikes sprang out from the ground. The spikes gleamed with a cold, piercing light, appearing particularly ferocious in the dim light, like a group of menacing demons ready to mercilessly pierce the intruder at any moment.

At the critical moment, Cao Yu reacted extremely quickly. Almost instinctively, he immediately released the light of purification. The gentle yet powerful light formed an indestructible shield in front of everyone in an instant.

The steel spikes slammed into the shield, producing a series of ear-piercing sounds, like the roar of a demon, with sparks flying everywhere.

Fortunately, the sturdy shield temporarily withstood the attack, giving everyone a precious chance to catch their breath.

"This is just the beginning; countless dangers await us." Amuro Tooru's brows furrowed into a deep frown, his eyes revealing seriousness and vigilance. He gripped his weapon tightly, his knuckles turning white from the force, ready to face any new crisis, like a cheetah poised to pounce.

The group continued cautiously deeper into the base, discovering it to be like a giant maze, full of errors and deceptions.

The passageways were narrow and winding, like giant, serpentine pythons that could swallow a person at any moment.

In what appears to be an ordinary room, there are all sorts of bizarre and unbelievable experimental devices.

Some of the devices were still emitting faint electrical hums, echoing in the silent room like the low murmur of some unknown creature, seemingly still carrying out some unknown and chilling operation.
