Detective Conan: Starting with Yukiko covered in black stockings!

Tooru Amuro, an elite who once infiltrated the Black Organization, has an extraordinary understanding of the organization.

He closed his eyes tightly, trying to recall every detail of his time in the Black Organization, attempting to search the depths of his memory for any connection to the symbol.

(bfdi) "When I was in the Black Organization, I never saw anyone use or mention this symbol."

"But I remember there are some high-level meetings in the organization that are highly confidential, and only a few core members can attend. This symbol may be inextricably linked to those confidential matters." Amuro Tooru said slowly as he pondered.

Meanwhile, Ai Haibara, who is skilled in semiotics, also joined the investigation.

She studied the lines and shapes of the tattoo design intently, trying to decipher the possible symbolic meanings it might contain.

“From a semiotic point of view, the direction and combination of the lines in this pattern are very unique. It seems to incorporate elements from a variety of ancient cultures and may be a symbol of a specific organization or ritual,” Ai Haibara explained methodically as she carefully drew a breakdown diagram of the symbol on the paper.

Just as everyone was conducting an intensive investigation, the members responsible for interrogating the prisoners of the "Apocalypse Order" reported that one of the prisoners had finally relented under severe torture and revealed some information about the tattoos.

Upon hearing the news, Cao Yu, Conan, and the others rushed to the interrogation room without stopping.

“I…I don’t know what this tattoo specifically represents.” The prisoner’s face was pale and his body was trembling uncontrollably. “I only know that it is the mark of becoming a core member of the Apocalypse Order. Only those who have been personally approved by the leader are qualified to get this tattoo.”

Furthermore, the cult leader said this tattoo has a special meaning, closely related to our great mission, but I really don't know what it is.

Although the information obtained from the prisoners was limited, it further confirmed the importance of the tattoo.

Back in the conference room, everyone continued their intense discussion and analysis.

Based on the information currently available, Conan boldly speculated: "Since this tattoo is the mark of a core member of the Apocalypse Order and is similar to the symbol of the Black Organization, it is very likely that the two organizations have reached a cooperation on a core plan, and this plan requires the joint participation of core members of both sides, which is why they have such a common mark."

Cao Yu nodded in agreement, his expression growing increasingly serious: "We need to figure out what this core plan is as soon as possible."

Judging from the current situation, the Apocalypse Order's previous actions, whether it was using multinational technology companies to conduct experiments or launching electromagnetic pulse attacks, seem to be just part of this massive plan.

We need to find more clues to piece together the whole picture.

Therefore, the investigation team decided to split into several groups and launch the operation simultaneously.

Conan and Ai Haibara continue their in-depth study of semiotics, attempting to find records related to tattoo symbols in ancient documents and materials; Amuro Tooru uses his connections in the public security system and the Black Organization to gather more intelligence on the Black Organization's recent movements; Cao Yu leads the other members to conduct further investigations into the remaining strongholds and related personnel of the "Apocalypse Order," hoping to find more clues related to the tattoos and the organization.

Chapter 405 Vague News

Conan and Ai Haibara plunged into the base's archives, a veritable treasure trove of knowledge, housing ancient documents, occult books, and intelligence files from various organizations around the world.

Like tireless treasure hunters, they carefully searched through mountains of books and documents.

Time slipped by quietly amidst the tension and focus. Several hours later, Ai Haibara suddenly exclaimed excitedly, "Conan, look at this!"

Ai Haibara pointed to a hand-drawn illustration in a book about an ancient, mysterious religion and said, "This illustration is very similar to the tattoo symbol we're looking for in the design of certain lines."

According to the book, this is the symbol of an ancient, mysterious organization that believes in a power capable of altering the fate of the world, and they attempt to awaken this power through various rituals and experiments.

Conan stared at the pattern, lost in deep thought.

"So, the cooperation between the Apocalypse Order and the Black Organization may also revolve around some kind of power that can change the world."

The mysterious power that the Apocalypse Order was searching for may only be part of their scheme; they may have a much larger goal behind it all.

Meanwhile, Amuro Tooru, through his extensive network of connections, managed to leak some vague information from within the Black Organization.

It is said that the Black Organization is planning an unprecedented operation involving multiple forces and organizations around the world, and the core of the operation seems to be related to a mysterious energy source.

This news corroborates Conan and Ai Haibara's discovery, further suggesting a close cooperative relationship between the two organizations, and that their common goal is most likely to acquire or utilize some powerful force to realize their ambition to change the world.

Cao Yu's team also made some progress in their investigation of the "Apocalypse Order's" stronghold.

In an abandoned outpost, they discovered a diary belonging to a mid-level member of the "Cult of Apocalypse".

The diary records some fragments of internal meetings of the organization, which mention cooperation with "another powerful organization". Although it does not explicitly name the Black Organization, it is clear from the description that the two sides are jointly promoting a "grand plan" with the ultimate goal of "reshaping the world order".

By combining clues from various sources, Cao Yu and his companions gradually pieced together a general outline: the "Apocalypse Order" and the Black Organization were very likely colluding to obtain some powerful force that could change the world order.

Their previous actions, though seemingly independent, were actually interconnected and all in preparation for this ultimate goal.

That distinctive tattoo symbol was likely their identification and secret code in this massive plan.

However, the clues we currently have are still incomplete and like looking at flowers through a fog.

They are still unclear about what this mysterious force is, as well as the specific action plans and implementation steps of the two organizations.

Asking for flowers

In order to uncover the truth further, Cao Yu decided to take the initiative.

After discussing with Conan, Amuro Tooru, and others, he devised a bold and meticulous plan.

They planned to use a captured member of the "Cult of Apocalypse" to set a carefully crafted trap, luring people from the "Cult of Apocalypse" or the Black Organization into a trap, thereby obtaining more crucial information.

First, they conducted a detailed interrogation of the prisoner, obtaining information about some of the communication methods and codes within the "Apocalyptic Order".

Then, have the prisoner send a distress message to the "Cult of Apocalypse," claiming that he has important intelligence about the new organization that is crucial to the success or failure of the entire plan and that he needs to meet with the higher-ups urgently.

Meanwhile, they deployed a large number of advanced surveillance devices and well-trained ambush personnel around the agreed meeting place. Once someone appeared, they would immediately launch an operation to capture them and obtain useful intelligence.

As the appointed time drew closer amidst everyone's tense waiting, Cao Yu and the others hid in the shadows, barely daring to breathe, their eyes fixed on the agreed location.

Time ticked by, and the scene was completely silent, save for the rustling of leaves in the breeze, which seemed to provide accompaniment to the tense atmosphere.

Just when everyone thought the plan might fail, a black sedan slowly drove into the agreed location.

The car slowly came to a stop, the door opened, and several people dressed in black got out.

Chapter 406, Extremely Tense

Their steps were steady, their eyes sharp; judging from their actions and demeanor, they were no ordinary members.

Cao Yu and the others immediately became alert, their muscles tensing like arrows about to be released from a bow, ready to launch an attack at any moment.

However, at that moment, a group of members of the "Apocalypse Order" suddenly emerged from all directions like ghosts, surrounding Cao Yu and his group's ambush.

The Apocalypse Order and the Black Organization had already realized the trap.

The two sides instantly fell into a standoff, the air thick with the smell of gunpowder, the tension reaching its peak.

The leader of the "347" black-clad organization looked coldly at Cao Yu and the others, his eyes filled with disdain and arrogance: "Do you think you can catch us like this? You're too naive."

"The plans of the Apocalypse Order and our Black Organization are beyond your control."

Cao Yu met the other party's gaze without fear and firmly replied, "No matter how grand your plan is, we will not let you succeed."

Your actions will only bring disaster to the world, and we will definitely stop you.

The two sides were on the verge of a fierce battle.

At this critical moment, Conan suddenly noticed that the leader of the Black Organization had a distinctive tattoo symbol faintly visible on his collar.

This discovery made Conan realize that the people in front of him were very likely the key figures driving the two organizations' collaborative plan.

"Cao Yu, these people are crucial. We can't let them get away," Conan said urgently in a low voice.

Cao Yu nodded slightly, signaling with his eyes that everyone should prepare for battle.

However, the Black Organization and the "Cult of Apocalypse" did not seem to want to get entangled here any longer. Although they had the advantage in numbers, they chose to withdraw quickly.

Upon seeing this, Cao Yu and his men immediately launched a pursuit without hesitation.

During the intense chase, a fierce gunfight broke out between the two sides.

The bullets whizzed through the air, sparks flying.

Cao Yu used his superpowers to skillfully evade enemy attacks while directing his teammates to launch a counterattack.

He moved with lightning speed, darting through a hail of bullets with ease, each strike hitting the enemy with pinpoint accuracy.

Conan, with his agile skills, skillfully maneuvers through a hail of bullets, attempting to approach the enemy.

He would sometimes duck to avoid bullets, and sometimes use obstacles for cover, searching for the enemy's weaknesses.

Amuro Tooru and the other members also used their skills to engage in a thrilling battle with the enemy.

Working together, 893 gradually gained the upper hand thanks to their excellent teamwork.

After a fierce confrontation, Cao Yu and his team successfully intercepted an enemy vehicle and captured a member of the black-clad organization.

They quickly took him back to base for interrogation.

The member initially tried to resist, gritting his teeth and refusing to reveal any information.

However, faced with Cao Yu and others' powerful psychological offensive and irrefutable evidence, his psychological defenses gradually collapsed, and he eventually revealed some important information.

According to him, the Order of Apocalypse and the Organization in Black are searching for a mysterious item called the "Stone of Destiny."

Legend has it that this stone possesses boundless power, capable of granting its holder any wish and thus altering the order of the entire world.

The two organizations firmly believe that as long as they obtain the "Stone of Destiny," they can become the masters of the world and control its destiny.

Currently, through a series of complex clues and research, they have grasped the approximate location of the "Stone of Destiny".

However, the specific process of finding and obtaining it still faces many difficulties. The "Stone of Destiny" is hidden in a mysterious and dangerous place, surrounded by various ancient traps and powerful defense mechanisms.

In order to achieve this goal, they launched a series of seemingly unrelated actions, including using multinational technology companies to study totem energy and launching electromagnetic pulse attacks to create chaos. All of these were intended to distract the new organization and create favorable conditions for finding the "Stone of Destiny".

Cao Yu and the others realized that the situation was extremely critical, as indicated by the 3.8 indicator.

The Order of Apocalypse and the Black Organization have obtained the Stone of Destiny, plunging the world into endless darkness and bringing annihilation to humanity.

They must race against time to find the "Stone of Destiny" before the enemy and completely thwart the evil plans of both organizations.

According to clues provided by members of the Black Organization, the "Stone of Destiny" seems to be hidden in an ancient ruin located deep in a mysterious desert.

Cao Yu immediately gathered the new members of his organization, preparing to embark on another journey.

Chapter 407 Identity Exposed

Before setting off, Cao Yu solemnly said to everyone, "This mission is extremely dangerous. We are facing two powerful enemies: the Apocalypse Order and the Black Organization."

They will stop at nothing to obtain the Stone of Destiny.

But for world peace and tranquility, and for the happiness of countless people, we must do our utmost.

Everyone must be fully prepared and cannot afford to be complacent in the slightest.

The members clenched their fists, their eyes revealing a firm determination.

They were fully aware of the significance of this mission and showed no intention of backing down.

Afterwards, the group, equipped with various advanced gear, set off towards the ruins deep in the desert.

As they reached the edge of the desert, a mysterious and dangerous aura swept over them.

In the desert, the wind howled and the yellow sand swirled in the air, like an angry beast trying to stop their advance.

However, the new members of the organization were not afraid at all. With their firm belief and tenacious will, they steadily ventured deeper into the desert.

After trekking through the desert for several days, they finally found the legendary ruins.

The ruins are surrounded by all sorts of ancient and eerie traps and defensive mechanisms, making every step fraught with danger.

Huge quicksand pits, hidden spike traps, and sudden bursts of flame make it impossible to defend against them.

However, thanks to their rich experience and close teamwork, Cao Yu and his team skillfully avoided one trap after another, gradually approaching the core area of ​​the ruins.

Just as they were about to find the "Stone of Destiny," members of the "Cult of Apocalypse" and the Black Organization arrived.

A final showdown that will determine the fate of the world is about to begin...

Cao Yu looked at the ferocious enemies before him and shouted, "Your conspiracy will not succeed! Today is your end!" The enemies replied viciously, "You've come at the right time, saving us the trouble of going looking for you again."

The Stone of Destiny is ours; the world will be under our control!

The two sides quickly engaged in fierce fighting.

The members of the "Apocalypse Order" and the Black Organization went berserk, launching a frenzied attack on Cao Yu and his companions.

Driven by their desire for the "Stone of Destiny," they lost their reason and charged forward recklessly.

Cao Yu unleashed his powerful superpowers, radiating light as he engaged in a fierce battle with his enemies.

His superpowers were like a sharp blade, allowing him to maneuver through enemy ranks, leaving them falling wherever he went.

Conan uses his intelligence and reasoning skills to keenly find the enemy's weaknesses in battle.

He observed the enemy's patterns of movement, analyzed the battlefield situation, and frequently issued precise instructions to his teammates.

Amuro Tooru and the other members also used their skills to engage in a thrilling battle with the enemy.

Some of them were skilled in hand-to-hand combat, incredibly brave in close-quarters battles; others were proficient in shooting, hitting the enemy with every bullet with pinpoint accuracy.

At a crucial moment in the battle, Conan discovers a hidden mechanism within the ruins.

This mechanism was cleverly concealed beneath an ancient stone slab, making it virtually impossible to spot without close inspection.
