Detective Conan: Starting with Yukiko covered in black stockings!

Upon hearing Conan's shout, Cao Yu's body trembled slightly.

His attack slowed briefly, and a glimmer of clarity seemed to flash in his eyes.

But soon, that strange power regained control of his consciousness, and he continued his frenzied attack.

Conan knew that this was not enough to fully wake Cao Yu up; they had to find a more effective method.

"It seems that's not enough. We must find the key to make him completely sober!" Conan thought to himself.

His eyes were firm; he was not discouraged by the temporary setback, but instead became even more determined to save Cao Yu.

He continued to nimbly dodge Cao Yu's attacks while constantly thinking of ways to rescue Cao Yu, his mind racing, not letting go of any possible clues.

At this moment, the mysterious ally, after dealing with some of the surrounding enemies, also noticed Cao Yu's unusual behavior.

He knew that the source of the power within Cao Yu was inextricably linked to the secret experiments of an ancient organization, and perhaps he could find a way to awaken Cao Yu.

The mysterious ally quickly headed towards Cao Yu's direction.

His figure darted across the battlefield, skillfully avoiding enemy attacks, with only one thought in his mind: to get to Cao Yu's side as soon as possible and help him regain his senses.

His steps were hurried, as if he were racing against time, every second was crucial.

On their way there, the mysterious ally recalled some records from the ancient organization about the awakening of special genetic powers.

He recalled a method that involved establishing a spiritual connection with the awakened individual to guide them back to reason.

However, this method is extremely dangerous. If it fails, it will not only fail to awaken the awakened one, but may also drive the person insane.

However, the mysterious ally did not hesitate at all; he decided to take the risk and try it out.

Chapter 284 seems to have elicited some reaction.

He knew that there was no better way now; he had to do this to save Cao Yu and stop the ancient organization's conspiracy.

His eyes revealed a resolute determination, as if he were prepared to face any consequences.

When he arrived at Cao Yu's side, he took a deep breath, concentrated all his energy, and tried to establish a mental connection with Cao Yu.

He slowly probed his consciousness into Cao Yu's consciousness, which was shrouded in dark power.

In Cao Yu's world of consciousness, the mysterious ally witnessed chaos and darkness.

The "590" area was shrouded in a black mist, like an endless abyss of darkness, leaving no hope in sight.

A powerful evil force was raging within it, a massive black vortex that spun endlessly, emitting a chilling howl, attempting to engulf everything around it, including Cao Yu's crumbling consciousness.

Cao Yu's consciousness was like a leaf swaying in a storm, about to be swallowed by darkness at any moment, appearing so small and fragile in the face of this powerful evil force.

The mysterious ally called out Cao Yu's name in the darkness: "Cao Yu! Wake up! You are the hope against the ancient organization, you cannot fall here!" His voice echoed in the darkness, trying to penetrate the thick fog and awaken Cao Yu's consciousness.

The voice seemed to carry a firm belief, conveying hope in the darkness.

Cao Yu's consciousness seemed to respond somewhat to the calls from his mysterious ally.

Some blurry images appeared in his mind, scenes of him fighting alongside his comrades, side by side, trusting each other, and striving to uphold justice.

Together they faced difficulties and defeated enemies. Those memories, like twinkling stars, shimmered in the darkness, giving him a touch of warmth and strength.

There are also scenes of people living peacefully on the streets of Tokyo, with children laughing and playing in the streets, and the elderly sitting in their doorways basking in the sun, a scene of peace and tranquility.

However, the scene then shifts to the various atrocities committed by the ancient organization, which conducts cruel experiments, plunging countless people into pain and despair.

These images kept flashing through Cao Yu's mind, like a nightmare, making his consciousness struggle between darkness and light.

The mysterious ally continued, "Cao Yu, look around you. You have so many partners who trust you, and they are all working towards the same goal."

You can't let them down! We need you, Tokyo needs you, the world needs you!" His voice was full of power, trying to give Cao Yu courage and faith, to help him rediscover himself.

The voice, like a resounding bell, echoed in Cao Yu's consciousness, like a warm hand trying to pull him out of the abyss of darkness.

Under the constant guidance of the mysterious ally, Cao Yu's consciousness gradually coalesced, and he began to fight against that dark force.

His eyes regained their clarity, and the madness gradually faded.

His consciousness seemed to find a glimmer of light in the darkness, and he began to strive forward along this glimmer, engaging in a fierce tug-of-war with the forces of darkness.

He was struggling internally. On one hand, there was the powerful dark force trying to completely devour him; on the other hand, there was the justice and kindness deep within him, striving to break free from the shackles of darkness.

His consciousness trembled constantly as he was pulled between these two forces, but he never gave up and clung tightly to that sliver of hope.

Finally, Cao Yu let out a roar, a roar that seemed to shatter the darkness of the world.

A powerful force erupted from his body, a force that, like a dazzling light, completely dispelled the surrounding darkness.

He regained full consciousness.

His eyes regained their firmness and brightness, and the black energy aura around him gradually dissipated, replaced by a light full of justice and power.

He took a deep breath, feeling himself regain control of his body, and his heart was filled with gratitude.

He looked around at everything, as if he were seeing the world anew, his eyes filled with determination and resolve.

Looking at Conan, Amuro Tooru, and the mysterious ally beside him, Cao Yu felt a surge of gratitude.

"Thank you. If it weren't for you, I might have been lost in that power forever." His voice carried a hint of weariness, but even more so, determination and gratitude.

His eyes were filled with trust and gratitude for his companions, as if to tell them that he would never forget their help.

Chapter 285 The Truth of Betrayal

Conan smiled and said, "We are a team, and we will not abandon any of our partners."

"I'm glad you're alright now. We still need to stop the ancient organization's conspiracy." His smile gave off a warm and reassuring feeling, making Cao Yu feel the strength of the team.

That smile was like a beacon in the darkness, illuminating their path forward.

Amuro Tooru stood up, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and said, "That's right, we can't give them a chance to breathe." His eyes revealed a resolute determination, as if declaring to the ancient organization that their conspiracy would not succeed.

His gaze was firm and sharp, like a sword aimed directly at the enemy's heart.

Cao Yu nodded, feeling that he had successfully taken control of the newly awakened power within him.

On the battlefield at the heart of the altar, filled with the smell of gunpowder and blood, Cao Yu miraculously returned from the edge of a terrifying abyss of out-of-control power.

At this moment, he was filled with indescribable gratitude for his companions, and at the same time, he was overjoyed to have successfully tamed the newly awakened power.

He stood upright, like a majestic mountain peak, standing shoulder to shoulder with Conan, Amuro Tooru, and others on this scorched earth that had just experienced a fierce battle.

Their gazes were fixed firmly on the disheveled and broken members of the ancient organization before them. The victory in this arduous battle was like a ray of dawn breaking through the darkness, indicating that they had taken another solid step forward on their long journey in pursuit of justice. The future seemed to be unfolding before them in a hopeful manner.

However, while everyone was immersed in the brief relief and anticipation brought by the dawn of victory, the mysterious ally stood quietly to the side, seemingly out of place with the surrounding atmosphere.

His eyes were like a fleeting ghost, shifting and flickering, sometimes revealing a hint of panic, like a frightened bird; at other times, they flashed a resolute look, as if he had made a desperate, all-or-nothing decision.

This was completely different from the unwavering and resolute demeanor he had displayed in previous battles.

Those eyes seemed to conceal countless untold secrets, like the turbulent undercurrents beneath the calm surface of the sea before a storm, making one feel vaguely uneasy.

With heartfelt gratitude, Cao Yu slowly turned around, his gaze sincere and fervent as he looked at his mysterious ally. He said from the bottom of his heart, "This time, I really owe you a great debt! If you hadn't risked your life to wake me up, I can't even imagine what kind of terrifying, hopeless situation I would have been in." The mysterious ally tried to force a smile to respond to Cao Yu's gratitude, but the smile was like a stiff mask stuck to his face, extremely unnatural, as if it were a pretense made to suppress some kind of pain or guilt.

He replied casually, "Hey, we're all here to fight against the ancient organization, that's only right."

"We're all on the same side, there's no need to be so polite." However, his smile was not only stiff, but his eyes also inadvertently revealed a hint of evasion, like a mouse trying to hide its tracks, all of which made him look extremely abnormal.

Conan is known for his meticulousness and keen insight, like a sharp-eyed eagle that can see through any subtle anomaly.

His suspicions were immediately aroused by the mysterious ally's unusual behavior.

A sense of doubt, like a tenacious vine, quietly grew and spread in his heart.

He frowned slightly, thinking to himself, "Something's not right. Why is he acting so strangely? He's not usually like this."

Does he have some unspeakable secret he's hiding from us? Or is he plotting something shady? But at this moment, most of the attention was focused on cleaning up the ravaged battlefield and ensuring that the remaining threat from the ancient organization was completely eliminated.

Although Conan had many doubts, considering the current urgent situation, he could only suppress them for the time being and continue to devote himself to the follow-up work on the battlefield.

Just as everyone was preparing to work together to clean up the battlefield ravaged by war, a chilling, sinister laugh suddenly echoed through the deathly silence of the ruins.

Chapter 286 is awe-inspiring.

The laughter was like an incredibly sharp ice blade, instantly slicing through the tense yet subtly joyful atmosphere, sending a chill down everyone's spine.

Everyone immediately became alert, their nerves taut like a bowstring about to snap, and they quickly looked around, trying to find the source of the eerie laughter.

The leader of the ancient organization, dragging his slightly disheveled yet still fierce and brutal body, slowly emerged step by step from the deepest part of the shadows.

His body was covered with a dense array of mottled wounds of varying depths, from which blood seeped continuously, staining his clothes crimson and leaving a trail of shocking dark red footprints on the ground, as if they were the sinful marks left by a demon.

Despite the severe injuries he had suffered, his eyes remained as fierce and cunning as a hungry wolf, revealing a resolute and ruthless determination to fight to the death, inspiring awe in all who beheld him.

Cao Yu and his men immediately went on high alert. Cao Yu, in particular, glared angrily, like a lion that had been thoroughly enraged, his eyes burning with fury. He roared at the leader of the ancient organization, "You actually dare to show yourself! Look at your men, they've all been utterly defeated and routed by us. You're not getting away today! Surrender obediently and stop making futile struggles!"

The leader of the ancient organization showed no sign of panic. His sinister and icy gaze, like a cold venomous snake, swept coldly over everyone before finally landing on the mysterious ally.

A cold, malicious smirk slowly crept onto his lips as he spoke in a low, mocking voice, "Oh? Is that so? It seems you're all still in the dark, like a bunch of ignorant fools, completely unaware of the true nature of your so-called ally." Cao Yu and the others were stunned by his words, their faces instantly contorted with disbelief, as if they had heard a complete fantasy.

They all turned their bewildered and shocked gazes toward the mysterious ally, trying to find a trace of denial on his face.

The mysterious ally's expression changed slightly in an instant, like a pebble being thrown into a calm lake, creating ripples.

But he quickly regained his composure, snorted coldly, and said in a feigned calm, "You old codger, you've reached this dead end, and you still want to sow discord? It's utterly laughable! Do you think you can destroy the trust between us with such despicable means? You're delusional!"

The leader of the ancient organization, however, moved unhurriedly, taking slow and heavy steps forward, each step seemingly tugging at the heartstrings of everyone present, making their hearts tighten.

He continued in a low voice, "Hmph, now that things have come to this, what's the point of hiding anything or trying to cover it up?"

Your approach to them is merely to exploit the terrifyingly powerful force awakened by Cao Yu to destroy our ancient organization.

Then, you can take the opportunity to absorb this power, transform yourself into a new god, and satisfy your crazy and greedy ambition.

To achieve this utterly insane goal, you and I made a dirty deal: you promised to spare my life after the ceremony so that you could reap the benefits.

Am I right?

Upon hearing these words, Cao Yu felt as if he had been struck by lightning, his entire body seemingly frozen in place, unable to move.

He stared incredulously at his mysterious ally, his eyes filled with pain, shock, and rage, his voice trembling as he asked, "This... how could this be true? Tell me, what he said isn't true! How could you betray us? We (Li Nuo's) have always considered you our most trusted partner!" Seeing that the truth had been completely exposed, the mysterious ally no longer needed to pretend. A hideous and twisted smile instantly appeared on his face, a smile that seemed to come from the deepest part of hell, cruel and insane, sending chills down one's spine.

He laughed wildly, "That's right, it's all true! Cao Yu, you're ridiculously naive! Do you really think I'd fight alongside a bunch of fools for some vague, so-called justice? Stop daydreaming! From the very beginning, you've been nothing more than tools for me to achieve my goals, pawns I can manipulate at will!"

Chapter 287 Keeping the Promise

Upon hearing this, Conan, Amuro Tooru, and the others froze on their faces, as if time had stood still.

Shock and anger surged up like a tidal wave, almost overwhelming them.

Amuro, trembling violently, clenched his fists and roared, "You despicable, shameless, and treacherous bastard! We trusted you so completely, regarding you as a close comrade-in-arms who would fight alongside us through life and death, yet you committed such a despicable and unforgivable act of betrayal! Doesn't your conscience condemn you?" The mysterious ally, however, remained unperturbed. He laughed loudly, the sound echoing through the ruins, sounding particularly jarring, as if mocking them.

He arrogantly declared, "Trust? In this cruel, dog-eat-dog world, only absolute power is the sole truth, the key to dominating everything! Once I become a new god, I can control everything at will, and all things in the world will grovel at my feet! Your so-called trust is utterly worthless in the face of overwhelming power, as insignificant as ants!"

The leader of the ancient organization looked at the mysterious ally with a gloomy gaze, snorted coldly, and said, "Hmph, are you so confident that your plan will succeed? Don't forget, we have a deal."

If you dare to try anything funny, I will definitely make you pay.

"I'm not so easily fooled." The mysterious ally glanced at him disdainfully, his eyes filled with contempt, and said, "Don't worry, once Cao Yu has completely wiped you out, and I've absorbed the power, I will naturally keep my promise."

But you'd better not resort to any underhanded tricks, otherwise, you know how serious the consequences will be.

At this moment, Cao Yu felt both furious, as if he were being relentlessly burned by a raging fire, and saddened, as if he had been struck hard by a thousand-pound hammer.

He stared intently at the mysterious ally, his eyes burning with fury, and demanded, "Why did you do this? Is it really just for power that you can so easily betray us, betray all those who risk their lives for justice? Has your conscience been completely devoured by greed and desire?" The mysterious ally curled his lip in disdain, his eyes filled with contempt, and said, "Justice? That's nothing but a useless word that the weak use to comfort and numb themselves."

In this dog-eat-dog world, only those with absolute power can truly control their own destiny and stand at the pinnacle of the world, looking down upon all living beings.

You people are so naive and childish that you actually think you can overcome all difficulties and be invincible by relying on so-called justice.

That's utterly stupid and ridiculous!

(acae)

At this moment, the surrounding air seemed to freeze in the tense, almost suffocating atmosphere, as if time itself had stopped.

Cao Yu and his companions found themselves in a tense standoff with their mysterious ally and the leader of an ancient organization, a situation on the verge of erupting into conflict.

Cao Yu knew clearly that they were facing an unprecedented and severe crisis, as if they were on the edge of an abyss.

Although the leader of the ancient organization appeared to be seriously injured, Cao Yu knew from years of battles with them that he must still be hiding some unknown, insidious and cunning methods, like a venomous snake lurking in the dark, ready to deliver a fatal blow at any time.

To make matters worse, their mysterious ally had fought alongside them for a long time and knew their tactics and individual abilities inside and out, which undoubtedly put them in an extremely difficult and almost hopeless predicament.

Seeing this situation, the leader of the ancient organization seized the opportunity to incite Cao Yu, saying, "Cao Yu, look at this. Your trusted allies have betrayed you. You are now in a desperate situation, like a wild beast trapped in a cage with nowhere to escape."

How about we cooperate? If you help me get rid of this traitor, I might consider showing leniency and letting you and your friends live.

"This is your only chance, you'd better think it over carefully." Cao Yu glared at him, his eyes seemingly spitting fire, and shouted, "Do you think I'd still believe you, you liar, wicked villain? You people have the blood of countless innocent people on your hands, you all deserve to die! Even if I die, I will never associate with you!"
