Detective Conan: Starting with Yukiko covered in black stockings!

Cao Yu looked at the device in his hand, and without the slightest hesitation, he smashed it hard on the ground, shattering it into countless fragments in an instant.

As the device broke, the entire basement began to shake violently, as if an earthquake had occurred.

Stones fell from the walls, and the culture chambers cracked as they shook.

4. "Oh no, the base is collapsing! We have to get out of here!" Conan shouted, his voice filled with anxiety.

The group quickly ran towards the exit, where the passage was filled with smoke and dust, and stones were constantly falling.

They ran desperately through the darkness and danger, every step filled with hardship and peril.

Finally, before the base completely collapsed, everyone managed to escape this sinful place.

Standing outside the base, looking at the ruins of the experimental facility, billowing smoke and dust rose as if the sinister soul of the Black Organization was dissipating.

Chapter 235 A Choice Between Life and Death

Everyone was filled with mixed emotions. Although they had successfully thwarted a terrible plan by the Black Organization, they knew that the Black Organization was like a centipede, not dead but still hard, and would surely have other, more insidious conspiracies.

The road ahead remains fraught with peril and challenges, like a dark abyss waiting to be crossed.

After their harrowing escape from the early experimental base, the group didn't even dare to hope for a moment's respite, because they knew in their hearts that the Black Organization was like a ferocious beast lurking in the darkness, and would never give up easily. Perhaps even more secretive and sinister conspiracies were quietly brewing in the shadows, like undercurrents in an underground river.

With the help of Lin Yuan's extensive network and rich experience, and through a meticulous analysis of the remaining data at the base, they pinpointed target 02 to a more concealed location—the core area of ​​the Black Organization's base.

Everyone knew that this place likely held the ultimate secret of the entire genetic modification project, as well as a key factor that could influence the course of the situation.

It's like a game of chess against the devil; they must venture deep into the lion's den and uncover the truth hidden in the darkness in order to have a chance to turn the tide.

With unwavering determination, the group once again embarked on this journey filled with unknowns and dangers.

Along the way, the atmosphere was as heavy as the sky before a storm. Everyone felt a heavy weight in their hearts, knowing that the journey was fraught with danger, but their eyes shone with unwavering determination, showing no sign of retreat.

When they finally reached the core area of ​​the base after overcoming countless hardships, an oppressive and terrifying aura rushed towards them, as if an invisible giant hand was tightly gripping their throats.

The surrounding walls flickered with an eerie, ghostly light, like pairs of eyes hidden in the darkness, coldly watching their every move, making them feel uneasy, as if every pore of their skin was being pierced by that gaze.

The air was filled with the pungent smell of chemicals, a pungent and acrid odor that stung the noses and throats of everyone, mixed with a faint smell of blood, as if telling the story of the brutal killings that had taken place here, sending chills down one's spine.

As everyone cautiously explored this area full of unknown dangers, a huge figure slowly emerged from the heavy shadows, its steps heavy and slow, each step seeming to pound on everyone's hearts.

This person is the last guardian of the Black Organization—a cyborg with superhuman combat abilities.

His stature was beyond what ordinary people could imagine, more than twice the size of an average person, like a moving mountain.

His entire body was covered in a layer of mechanical armor that shimmered with a metallic luster. Under the dim light, it reflected a cold and evil light, as if it were demonic armor from hell.

His eyes were like two burning red flames, revealing endless killing intent, as if they wanted to burn everything in front of him to ashes.

"You shouldn't have come here. This will be your burial ground." The cyborg's voice was low and hoarse, like a curse from the depths of hell, carrying endless gloom and terror, echoing in the silent space for a long time.

Before the words were even finished, the battle erupted instantly.

As the vanguard among them, Cao Yu launched the first attack. He quickly formed hand seals and chanted incantations. Purifying light instantly erupted from his palms, like a sharp sword shining with holy light, carrying an unstoppable momentum as it fiercely stabbed towards the cyborg.

Wherever the purifying light passed, the air seemed to be purified, emitting a faint halo.

However, the cyborg reacted extremely quickly. At this critical moment, his massive body dodged to the side like a ghost, easily avoiding Cao Yu's fierce attack.

Immediately afterwards, he waved his arm, and a powerful beam of energy shot out from his hand. The beam of energy was like an angry electric python, with a piercing whistling sound, and rushed towards the crowd.

Seeing that things were not going well, Conan and the others quickly used their agility to scatter and take cover.

The energy beams whistled past their bodies, and the powerful aftershocks made everyone's eardrums ache.

The energy beam struck the wall behind them, instantly triggering a violent explosion. The wall shattered, stones flew everywhere, dust billowed, and the entire space shook from the shockwave.

Chapter 236 is too late.

Amuro Tooru seized the brief opening after the cyborg's attack and charged towards it like a black lightning bolt.

He moved with agility, his weapon gleaming coldly, aimed directly at the cyborg's vital parts.

The cyborg remained calm and composed, as if he had anticipated Amuro Tooru's actions.

He stretched out his thick, tree-trunk-like arm and easily blocked Amuro Tooru's attack.

Then, he threw a powerful backhand punch, striking Amuro Tooru squarely in the chest.

With a muffled thud, Amuro Tooru was sent flying backward uncontrollably like a kite with a broken string. After arcing through the air, he crashed heavily to the ground, raising a cloud of dust.

Upon seeing this, Cao Yu's anger was instantly ignited. His eyes turned bloodshot, and he charged towards the cyborg without regard for anything else.

At this moment, the light of purification surged wildly around him, growing stronger and stronger, illuminating the entire core area as bright as day.

However, at this critical moment, the mysterious and powerful force within Cao Yu suddenly went out of control like a wild horse, and he went into a berserk state.

His once clear and bright eyes instantly turned blood red, and his face revealed a crazed and ferocious expression. He had completely lost his mind and, as if possessed by a demon, began to launch indiscriminate attacks on everything around him.

"Cao Yu, wake up!" Conan shouted anxiously, his voice filled with worry and anxiety, echoing like a booming bell in the chaotic space.

But at this moment, Cao Yu seemed to be trapped in a dark world, unable to hear any sound at all. His mind was filled with thoughts of destruction, and that crazy power drove him to attack relentlessly.

To prevent Cao Yu from causing a major disaster, Amuro Tooru disregarded his recent injuries and had only one firm belief in his heart: the Black Organization's conspiracy must not be allowed to succeed.

He risked his life again and charged close to the out-of-control Cao Yu.

He knew that if Cao Yu did not regain his senses as soon as possible, not only would all of them be in danger, but the Black Organization's evil plan would also be very likely to succeed, plunging the entire world into utter ruin.

"Amuro Tooru, no!" Conan cried out in terror, his eyes wide, trying to rush over to stop Amuro Tooru. However, everything happened too fast, and his voice seemed to be swallowed up by the chaotic scene. It was too late.

Seeing Amuro Tooru rushing towards him, Cao Yu, out of control, unconsciously raised his hand and unleashed a purifying light. The light, carrying powerful energy, struck Amuro Tooru directly like a small meteor.

Amuro Tooru had no time to dodge. After being struck by the powerful purifying light, his body was instantly engulfed by the light, and only a blurry figure could be seen struggling in the light.

After the light faded, Amuro Tooru collapsed heavily to the ground, blood gushing from the corner of his mouth, staining the ground beneath him red.

His body had suffered extremely serious injuries, he was barely breathing, and his life was hanging by a thread.

This scene plunged Conan and the others into deep despair.

Seeing Amuro Tooru lying on the ground, seriously injured and his life hanging in the balance, and then seeing Cao Yu attacking wildly and losing his mind, they felt an unprecedented helplessness, as if they were in a dark abyss, unable to see a glimmer of hope.

A flicker of pain and helplessness flashed in Vermouth's eyes, revealing her heartache for her injured companion and her powerlessness in the face of the situation; Lin Yuan clenched his fists tightly, the veins on the back of his hands bulging, his face showing an expression of anger and resentment, as if he wanted to tear the culprits of all this—the Black Organization—to pieces.

"We can't give up. There must be a way to make Cao Yu recover," Conan said through gritted teeth. Although his heart was filled with despair, a glimmer of hope still flickered in his determined eyes.

He knew that they must not be defeated by despair at this moment. They bore the heavy responsibility of stopping the Black Organization's conspiracy and had to pull themselves together.

Conan quickly forced himself to calm down, his brain starting to work at lightning speed, trying to recall the situation when Cao Yu's abilities went out of control, attempting to find a way to bring him back to his senses.

He frowned, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he tried hard to search his memory for every detail.

Finally, he remembered that when Cao Yu was suppressing his power from going berserk, he gradually regained control of his power by recalling some things that were crucial to him.

"Listen up, everyone! We need to find a way to awaken Cao Yu's memory. Maybe that will bring him back to his senses," Conan shouted, his voice firm and powerful, as he cautiously approached Cao Yu, trying to attract his attention.

Chapter 237 immediately understood his meaning.

His eyes were fixed on Cao Yu, watching his every move closely, afraid of missing any opportunity that might awaken him.

Vermouth, Lin Yuan, and the others immediately understood Conan's meaning after hearing his words.

They also shouted Cao Yu's name loudly and began to recount the bits and pieces of their experiences together, trying to awaken the memories deep in Cao Yu's heart.

"Cao Yu, do you still remember when we fought against the Black Organization together on the deserted island? Back then, we fought side by side and faced difficulties together."

"On that stormy night, we supported each other and didn't give up, finally breaking through their defenses!" Lin Yuan shouted, his voice filled with urgency and anticipation, hoping these memories would act as a key to unlock Cao Yu's rationality.

"And in the experimental base, we broke through many traps together, and you protected everyone with the light of purification."

"When those deadly mechanisms were activated, it was your purifying light that opened a path to survival for us in 560. You are our hero!" Vermouth shouted, her voice trembling as if she were back in those life-or-death moments.

However, Cao Yu still did not react. He was like a killing machine driven by madness, continuing to attack everything around him.

The stones shattered under his attack, and cracks appeared in the walls.

While dodging Cao Yu's attacks, Conan's eyes never left Cao Yu.

Suddenly, he noticed that Cao Yu's gaze seemed to pause for a moment when it swept over Amuro Tooru. Although the pause was extremely brief, Conan still managed to catch it.

"Perhaps Amuro Tooru is the key to awakening him." A thought flashed through Conan's mind, a thought like a ray of dawn in the darkness, giving him hope.

Conan disregarded his own safety and ran towards Amuro Tooru without hesitation.

Inside the base, due to Cao Yu's frenzied attacks, flying rocks and powerful energy fluctuations were everywhere, making every step fraught with danger.

But Conan did not back down in the slightest; he had only one belief in his heart: to awaken Cao Yu and save everyone.

He went to Amuro Tooru's side, struggled to help him up, and then shouted to Cao Yu, "Cao Yu, look at Amuro Tooru! He got hurt trying to stop you! You can't go on like this! He's our comrade, we can't lose him!"

A miracle occurred. Upon hearing Conan's words, Cao Yu's body trembled slightly, his wildly waving arms paused for a moment, and his attacking movements also stopped.

Conan saw a glimmer of hope, and a spark ignited in his heart. He continued, "Cao Yu, we are partners. We have been through so many life-and-death trials together and faced countless dangers together."

We laugh together, we cry together, we are a team. You can't hurt us, you need to wake up!

A struggle flashed in Cao Yu's eyes, his frenzied expression gradually subsided, and his bloodshot eyes began to clear up, as if reason was slowly returning.

But at that moment, the cyborgs seized the opportunity to launch an attack.

He quickly gathered energy in his hands, and a powerful beam of energy shot towards Conan and Amuro. The beam of energy carried an aura of destruction and moved extremely fast, arriving in front of them in the blink of an eye.

"Watch out!" Vermouth shouted, her voice sharp and urgent.

Without hesitation, she lunged at Conan and Amuro Tooru, using her own body to block the deadly energy beam.

After the energy beam struck Vermouth, she let out a painful scream, her body was instantly enveloped in light, and then she collapsed limply to the ground.

The scream echoed in the silent space, sending a shiver down everyone's spine.

Seeing this scene, Cao Yu's anger was reignited, but this time he did not go mad again. Instead, he transformed his anger into power.

His gaze instantly hardened, and he focused all his energy, controlling the light of purification as he charged toward the cyborg, his eyes seeming to want to tear the cyborg to pieces.

"You bastard, I'll make you pay!" Cao Yu roared, his voice filled with rage and murderous intent.

The cyborg was somewhat surprised to see Cao Yu regain his senses, but as a guardian of the Black Organization, he showed no sign of backing down and instead charged towards Cao Yu.

The two engaged in another fierce battle. This time, Cao Yu, with his unwavering will and concern for his comrades, unleashed even greater power.

Chapter 238 Powerful Energy

Under Cao Yu's control, the light of purification seemed to come alive, transforming into various forms.

Sometimes it transforms into a giant lightsaber, its light flashing with dazzling brilliance, as if it could sever all evil in the world; other times it forms a sturdy shield, radiating a soft halo that tightly protects Cao Yu within it.

The cyborg was not to be outdone; he continuously released powerful energy beams that collided with Cao Yu's purifying light.

Amidst flashes of light, the collision of energies produced dazzling sparks, and the deafening explosions shook the entire space.

At a crucial moment in the battle, Cao Yu, with his keen observation and combat intuition, discovered a weakness in the cyborg.

The cyborg's mechanical armor has a tiny gap at the shoulder. Although it is protected by a weak energy shield, this gap is occasionally and briefly exposed during his frequent attack movements.

Cao Yu seized the opportunity and condensed the light of purification into an extremely small point. That point of light was as small as a needle tip, yet it contained powerful energy.

Then, he rushed toward the cyborg at an extremely fast speed, arriving in front of the cyborg in an instant, as fast as lightning.

Without hesitation, he pierced the gaps in the cyborg's mechanical armor with the light of purification.

The light of purification erupted instantly, shining like a small sun, completely enveloping the cyborg's body.

He let out a painful roar, a roar that shook the surrounding walls, causing stones to fall from them.

His body began to tremble violently, and the lights on his mechanical armor flickered as if they were about to go out.

Ultimately, under the powerful force of the purifying light, the cyborg's body gradually collapsed, its mechanical armor falling off piece by piece, turning into a pile of scrap metal scattered on the ground.

After successfully defeating the cyborg, Cao Yu disregarded his own exhaustion and quickly ran to Amuro Tooru and Vermouth's side.

Amuro Tooru was already unconscious, his face as pale as paper, bloodless, and his breath so weak it was almost imperceptible; Vermouth was also seriously injured, her body lying limply on the ground, blood constantly spilling from the corner of her mouth, her eyes revealing a trace of pain, but when she saw Cao Yu coming over, she still managed to force a smile.

"We must save them," Cao Yu said anxiously, his voice choked with emotion, his eyes filled with worry and self-reproach.

The group immediately sprang into action, searching for possible medical equipment and medicines in the perilous core area of ​​the base.

They searched everywhere, leaving no corner unchecked.

Fortunately, they found some first-aid equipment and medicines in a secluded room.

The room had a musty smell, and the equipment and medicines were scattered haphazardly, but at that moment, these things were their lifeline.

After emergency treatment, Amuro Tooru and Vermouth's injuries were temporarily brought under control.

Their wounds were simply bandaged, and the bleeding was temporarily stopped, but they remained unconscious and in critical condition, their lives hanging by a thread.

“We must get them to a safe place for treatment as soon as possible,” Conan said, his brow furrowed and his eyes revealing a hint of anxiety and worry.
