Detective Conan: Starting with Yukiko covered in black stockings!

Conan knew that the situation was extremely critical and there was no time to hesitate. If he was not careful, the world would be plunged into utter ruin.

He once again focused intently on studying the device, trying to find a way to shut it down at this critical moment.

His eyes were fixed on the device, not missing a single detail, as if trying to see through it. His brain was working at high speed, considering every possible solution.

He carefully observed the device's appearance, trying to find clues from the strange patterns and symbols, which seemed like mysterious codes from another world, waiting for him to decipher them. At the same time, he recalled every detail of cracking the computer information before, hoping to find the key to shutting down the device. Every character and every pattern flashed through his mind like a fast-forwarding slideshow.

Time ticked by relentlessly, the sharp, thorny object drew ever closer, its cold metallic gleam shimmering in the dim light, exuding an aura of death, as if to shroud the entire chamber in the shadow of impending doom.

The team members' breathing became increasingly rapid. The tense atmosphere was like an invisible and dense net, tightly enveloping them and making it almost impossible to breathe.

In that abandoned laboratory that had become a living hell, the special operations team's fierce battle with the monsters was at a breathtaking, white-hot peak.

The monsters had previously suffered precise attacks on their joints by the team members, and their originally overwhelming offensive had slowed down briefly. However, relying on their astonishingly large numbers and the tenacious ferocity bestowed upon them by the evil genes, they continued to surge forward like a tidal wave, wave after wave, without any intention of retreating.

The members of the special operations team were exhausted after a long and intense battle, and each of them had some injuries, some minor and some serious.

However, their eyes remained as resolute and bright as burning torches, their hands gripping their weapons tightly, never letting up for a moment, stubbornly resisting the monster's dense and fierce attacks like a storm.

Sweat mixed with blood slid down their faces, soaking their clothes, but it did not shake their determination to persevere.

Cao Yu was in the core area where the battle was most intense. The monsters around him attacked him like hungry wolves seeing their prey.

The monsters' attacks were like a sudden storm, not only dense but also incredibly fierce. Each attack carried a powerful force of 317, as if they wanted to tear him apart instantly.

Cao Yu knew perfectly well that if he couldn't come up with a way to break the deadlock at this critical moment, the entire special operations team would be wiped out in this hellish battlefield, and this bustling city would inevitably be reduced to dust and become ruins in the impending catastrophe.

At this critical moment of life and death, Cao Yu resolutely disregarded his own safety and forcibly attempted to break through the limitations of his abilities.

His special ability, which had been suppressed by the enemy's insidious and cunning special device, miraculously showed signs of loosening after he exerted all his strength to activate it.

However, this forced breakthrough at the cost of his life had extremely serious consequences. The divine artifact energy, which was closely linked to his abilities, instantly went completely berserk like a wild horse.

Chapter 353 Gazing upon all things in the world

The purifying power contained within the artifact, originally a sacred symbol of protecting justice and peace in the world, is now like a runaway flood, completely out of control.

Meanwhile, the evil god, which the enemy attempted to awaken, had not yet fully awakened its evil power, but it had already reacted strongly to the artifact's unusual movements.

Two devastating forces collided violently from a distance, instantly creating a terrifying energy vortex above the laboratory, powerful enough to completely destroy the entire city.

The vortex was like a ferocious beast from the ancient wilderness, its gaping maw devouring everything around it with a deafening roar, as if it wanted to drag the whole world into an endless abyss of darkness.

Wherever the vortex went, the air was distorted, and space seemed to be torn apart. Everything around trembled and disintegrated in the face of this terrifying power.

Outside the laboratory, people in the city also clearly felt this unusually terrifying power fluctuation.

The once tranquil night sky was instantly shattered as large swaths of dark clouds, as if summoned by some mysterious and evil force, rapidly gathered above the laboratory, forming a massive, black vortex that blotted out the sky.

This black vortex echoed the energy vortex below, which exuded an aura of destruction, like a pair of malevolent giant eyes suddenly appearing in the world, coldly and maliciously staring at everything.

A blinding beam of light shot into the sky from the direction of the laboratory, like the dawn of the apocalypse. However, the light was also accompanied by a chilling aura of destruction that sent shivers down one's spine, filling everyone who witnessed it with endless despair.

The children huddled in their parents' arms in terror, while the adults' faces were filled with fear and worry, and the whole city seemed to be shrouded in a shadow of despair.

Upon learning of the emergency at the laboratory, Amuro Tooru immediately made a decisive and swift response.

He knew that the severity of the crisis had far exceeded his imagination, and if the masses were not evacuated in time, the consequences would be unimaginable, and the city would face an unprecedented catastrophe.

Without hesitation, he immediately boarded a helicopter and skillfully piloted it, circling over the city.

Amuro Tooru's calm and powerful voice blared from the helicopter's public address system, like a reassuring light suddenly appearing in the darkness, bringing a glimmer of hope to the panicked citizens: "Attention citizens, there is an emergency in the direction of the laboratory. Please remain calm and evacuate quickly according to the pre-arranged evacuation route."

His eyes revealed a focus and determination as he closely monitored the evacuation of the crowd on the ground, his focused gaze seemingly able to see through every corner and not miss any possible problems; at the same time, he also kept an eye on the ever-increasing energy vortex in the direction of the laboratory, which was like a demon gradually awakening.

At this moment, the city streets were filled with the sounds of sirens, shouts, and cries, as if playing a chaotic and tense apocalyptic symphony.

But under Amuro Tooru's methodical command, the crowd, despite their fear, still tried their best to maintain order and evacuate in an orderly manner. The scene was like a colony of ants migrating in an orderly manner despite facing disaster, showing a tenacious will to survive and the power of unity in the face of disaster.

In the laboratory that had been reduced to ruins, Conan was not intimidated by the chaotic and dangerous scene before him.

He knew perfectly well that he had to race against time to find the crucial clue to stop the countdown; it was the only hope to save the city and countless lives.

Despite the surrounding chaos, the stench of smoke and dust that made it almost impossible to breathe, and the constant falling of rubble and debris that could potentially become deadly weapons, Conan, with his exceptional intelligence and almost supernatural observational skills, worked like a traveler searching for a glimmer of light in the darkness, diligently searching for clues amidst the chaotic ruins.

His gaze was firm and calm as he carefully searched the ruins, leaving no corner unchecked that might conceal clues.

Conan's brain, like a high-speed, precision instrument, rapidly recalled every detail of cracking the computer information, trying to find clues related to stopping the countdown.

Chapter 354 A Glimmer of Hope

He struggled through the ruins, each step fraught with danger. The rubble beneath his feet could cause him to slip at any moment, and debris overhead could fall and cause him fatal injury.

But he did not back down at all. He carefully moved through the ruins, examining every corner where clues might be hidden, leaving no stone unturned.

Suddenly, among a pile of broken instruments, he found a broken computer screen with some indistinct code and faint patterns remaining on it.

These codes and patterns seemed familiar, like a fog deep in his memory. He tried hard to recall them, his brain working at lightning speed. Finally, he remembered that they matched some of the information about the countdown device he had seen on the computer before. A spark of hope ignited in his heart, as if he had seen a ray of dawn in the darkness.

Meanwhile, Cao Yu's situation became increasingly critical, as if he were in the absolute heart of a storm.

The rampage of the artifact's energy plunged him into an abyss of extreme pain. His body was under unimaginable pressure, his blood vessels were clearly visible under his skin like blue earthworms, his forehead veins bulged, and large beads of sweat rolled down, soaking the ground beneath him.

His muscles were tense from the pain, and every inch of his skin seemed to be bearing a tremendous force.

But he gritted his teeth, his resolute expression like an unyielding mountain, trying with an almost stubborn will to regain control of the artifact's out-of-control power, and to try to guide the purifying power to counterbalance the evil power of the evil god, so as to buy Conan more precious time.

Every second of perseverance was like torture for him, but he had only one unwavering belief in his heart: he must persevere for the team and for the thousands of lives in this city.

His eyes revealed a resolute determination to face death, a determination that would never give up even when his body was at its limit.

Elsewhere in the city, the other members of the special operations team were not letting their guard down at all.

Through their continuous battles with the monsters, they gradually discovered some new weaknesses of the monsters, thanks to their keen observation and rich combat experience.

It turns out that these seemingly invincible monsters, although their bodies are as strong as steel fortresses, are quite sensitive to sound waves of a certain frequency.

Upon learning this crucial information, the team members quickly adjusted their tactics, using their personal equipment to emit sound waves at a specific frequency.

Under the attack of the sonic waves, the monsters seemed to be frozen in place, howling in pain. Their originally agile movements became increasingly sluggish, like giant beasts stuck in a swamp.

Their bodies trembled violently under the influence of sound waves, and their roars echoed in the laboratory, as if announcing their pain and resentment to the team members.

The successful implementation of this tactic bought the team some precious breathing room, allowing them to see a glimmer of hope in this almost hopeless battle.

The team members looked at each other, their eyes filled with encouragement and determination. They knew that as long as they were united, there was still hope.

However, the power of that energy vortex continued to increase wildly.

The powerful suction it generates is like an invisible giant hand, tearing the surrounding buildings apart bit by bit. The solid reinforced concrete is as fragile as paper in front of it, easily being drawn into the vortex.

Parts of the city have descended into chaos, with raging flames raging through the ruins and thick smoke billowing into the sky, as if the end of the world has arrived, and the entire city is shrouded in a shadow of despair.

The flames devoured everything, illuminating the dark night sky, but also bringing endless fear.

People ran frantically through the streets, shouts and cries echoing throughout, plunging the entire city into chaos.

Amuro Tooru piloted the helicopter, circling continuously over the city, intently directing the evacuation operation.

He watched the ever-expanding energy vortex, which seemed poised to devour the entire world, and felt extremely anxious, like an ant on a hot pan.

But he knew that he had to remain calm at this moment, like a captain stabilizing a ship in a storm, in order to ensure the smooth progress of the evacuation.

He maintained close contact with the police and rescue teams on the ground through communication devices, coordinating all forces to ensure that every citizen could be safely evacuated.

In every communication with the ground, he carefully considered his words to convey the most accurate information, while also constantly monitoring the progress of the rescue work and not overlooking any potential problems.

Chapter 355 Steadfastness and Resoluteness

His voice reached every rescuer through communication devices, giving them confidence and strength.

In the ruins of the laboratory, after a painstaking search and meticulous analysis, Conan finally found a crucial clue from the remaining information on the broken computer screen.

He discovered that the password to stop the countdown was not simply numbers or characters, but rather required triggering some experimental equipment left in the laboratory in a specific sequence.

However, due to the combined damage from combat and energy shocks, most of these devices are scattered throughout the laboratory, and the extent of the damage is extremely severe, making it incredibly difficult to find and repair them.

The laboratory layout had been completely destroyed, with broken instruments and twisted metal everywhere. Finding these critical pieces of equipment would be like looking for a needle in a haystack.

But Conan showed no sign of backing down; his eyes revealed determination and resolve.

He moved through the ruins like a nimble cheetah, relying on his deep memory of the laboratory layout and his astonishingly brilliant reasoning ability to search for the key equipment piece by piece.

During the search, he was nearly hit by falling debris several times, each time narrowly escaping death thanks to his agility and incredible luck.

Once, a huge steel beam fell straight down on him. He keenly sensed the danger, rolled to the side, and barely avoided it. The steel beam crashed to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.

Dust billowed, blurring his vision, but he didn't stop for a moment, continuing his search through the ruins.

Finally, Conan found the first key piece of equipment.

The device was severely damaged; its casing was twisted and deformed as if it had been ravaged by a giant beast, and some parts were scattered all over the ground, like a jigsaw puzzle that had been broken up.

But Conan was not discouraged at all. He quickly collected usable parts from the ruins like a diligent ant, and with his solid mechanical knowledge and dexterous hands-on skills, he began to repair the equipment urgently.

Sweat soaked his clothes, dripping from his forehead and onto the ground, raising a small cloud of dust. Dust covered his face, blurring his originally handsome features, but his eyes remained focused, and his hands worked tirelessly, like a tireless craftsman meticulously crafting his work.

He carefully inspected each part and assembled them one by one, every movement filled with focus and patience.

After much effort, Conan successfully repaired the first device.

He carefully started the equipment following the sequence he had previously deduced.

The equipment emitted a buzzing sound, which sounded like heavenly music in the desolate ruins. A faint but hopeful ray of light shone from the equipment, pointing in another direction from the laboratory.

Conan knew this was a sign of success, and it also guided him in finding the next piece of equipment, making the flame of hope in his heart burn even brighter.

He looked in the direction of the light, his eyes filled with determination and anticipation, and walked in that direction without hesitation.

Asking for flowers

At this moment, Cao Yu's situation became increasingly dangerous, and he was on the verge of life and death.

The rampage of the artifact's energy had reached its limit, and he felt as if his body was about to be torn into countless pieces by this violent power.

Despite the excruciating pain, he persevered like a resolute warrior, guiding the power of purification to fight against the evil forces of the evil god.

Blurred double images began to appear before his eyes, and his consciousness gradually became blurred, as if he were in a chaotic fog.

But he had only one unwavering belief in his heart: he must persevere and buy more time for Conan.

His lips were already bleeding from being bitten, but he still held on tightly, his last act of defiance against this destructive force.

His body was trembling, and every breath was accompanied by excruciating pain, but with his indomitable will, he never gave up.

On the city streets, the evacuation work is still proceeding in an intense and orderly manner.

Most citizens have evacuated to safe areas according to the planned route, but some people are still trapped in buildings and their lives are under great threat.

Upon seeing this situation, Amuro Tooru did not hesitate at all and decisively decided to fly a helicopter to the rescue.

He skillfully maneuvered the helicopter, weaving through narrow streets and high-rises like a nimble bird, deftly avoiding falling debris and raging flames.

Chapter 356 attempts to find a way to fix it.

Every dodge is a challenge to the limits of maneuverability; the slightest mistake could result in the helicopter being hit, destroying the aircraft and killing everyone on board.

His gaze was focused and calm, his hands steadily maneuvering the helicopter's control stick, every movement precise, as if he were one with the helicopter.

He moved nimbly between the high-rise buildings, searching for the location of the trapped citizens.

Finally, Amuro Tooru found the trapped citizens.

He used the helicopter's ropes to safely transfer the citizens one by one to the helicopter.

During the rescue operation, the energy vortex's suction force continued to increase, as if it were about to swallow the helicopter as well.

The helicopter shook violently under the powerful suction, its fuselage creaking and groaning as if it might disintegrate at any moment.

But Amuro Tooru, with his astonishingly superb driving skills, repeatedly escaped danger and successfully rescued the trapped citizens.

His eyes were resolute, his hands gripped the control stick tightly, constantly adjusting the helicopter's attitude, searching for a safe path amidst the danger.

Every time he successfully rescued a citizen, a sense of relief welled up in his heart, but he knew that there were many more people who needed his help.

In the laboratory ruins, after successfully activating the first device, Conan followed the light and found the second crucial device.

This piece of equipment was more severely damaged than the first one; it was almost unrecognizable, like wreckage left after a war.

But Conan was not discouraged at all. He squatted down and carefully examined each part of the equipment, his brows furrowed as he thought about how to repair it.

His eyes revealed a relentless determination to achieve his goal, as if he wanted to find hope for rebirth in this pile of scrap metal.

He carefully examined every detail of the equipment, trying to find a way to repair it.

After careful observation and deliberation, Conan discovered that he needed to use parts from some nearby abandoned equipment to modify this crucial device in order to restart it.

So he got busy in the ruins again, like a diligent bee, flitting about, collecting parts, assembling and debugging them.
