Detective Conan: Starting with Yukiko covered in black stockings!

Everyone's eyes were focused on the screen, and their expressions instantly became serious, as if a heavy stone was pressing on their hearts.

Conan's brows furrowed tightly as he fell into deep thought.

His mind was like a high-speed, sophisticated machine, rapidly recalling every clue he had gathered in the laboratory he had previously explored.

That laboratory was like a treasure trove of historical secrets, filled with old, yellowed documents and complex, obscure experimental records.

Among them, some vague records are like scattered puzzle pieces, vaguely mentioning the early development of the Black Organization, while some veiled hints seem to point to information about the founder of the Black Organization.

With his keen, eagle-like observation skills and outstanding reasoning abilities, Conan boldly speculated that this activation code was very likely to be closely related to the founder of the Black Organization.

"Everyone, think back carefully to the early materials about the Black Organization that we found in the lab."

Among them are some recurring symbols and numbers, as well as some vague explanations of the founder's philosophy.

"I firmly believe that this is no coincidence, and the code is likely hidden among these clues." Conan spoke methodically while rapidly sorting through the intricate clues in his mind, trying to find the key to unlock the code.

Just as Conan was fully focused on his analysis, Cao Yu sensed a powerful and strange attraction near the core.

Chapter 158 An Ineffable Special Connection

This force was like an invisible yet powerful hand, gently yet irresistibly pulling at his body, or like some mysterious and ancient call, penetrating deep into his soul like fine threads.

Cao Yu's eyes gradually became somewhat unfocused, as if drawn by this mysterious force, and he involuntarily took a few more steps closer to the core.

"Cao Yu, what's wrong?" Xiao Lan, who was standing to the side, noticed Cao Yu's unusual behavior. A hint of worry flashed in her clear eyes, and she hurriedly reminded him.

Cao Yu shuddered slightly, as if he had just woken up from a hazy dream, and slowly said, "I don't know why, but I feel like there is a mysterious force calling to me here, as if there is some kind of inexplicable special connection between me and this core."

Upon hearing Cao Yu's words, everyone's faces showed surprise.

However, time was of the essence, and they could not afford to delve too deeply into the reasons behind Cao Yu's strange phenomenon.

As a result, everyone's attention quickly refocused on the crucial task of cracking the password.

Conan continued to guide the group's thinking: "Let's carefully recall the clues in the laboratory. Are there any special numbers, dates, or events in the descriptions of the founder?"

Ai Haibara gently pushed up her glasses, her intelligent eyes behind the lenses gleaming with thoughtful light, and said, "I remember a document that mentioned that the founder established the prototype of the Black Organization in a certain special year. Perhaps that year is part of the code."

Everyone nodded in agreement, and a lively discussion ensued around this idea.

Everyone chimed in, their thoughts colliding fiercely in the air.

After a fierce brainstorming session, they carefully extracted several key pieces of information from the lab clues: the founder's birth year, the date of the Black Organization's first major operation, and the location number of the founder's important speech.

However, when they eagerly tried to combine this information in different orders to enter the password, the holographic screen relentlessly flashed a glaring red light each time, accompanied by a cold prompt indicating that the password was incorrect.

Everyone felt as if they had fallen into an ice cellar, and gradually became anxious.

Time slipped away like sand in an hourglass, second by second. Their hearts were filled with worry, wondering if they had enough time to crack the code and successfully activate the core.

Just when everyone felt trapped and at a loss, Cao Yu suddenly felt that powerful attraction again. This time, the force seemed even stronger than before, as if it was eager to convey some important information to him.

Cao Yu gritted his teeth, trying to stay awake and concentrate all his energy on capturing the subtle clues that this power wanted to convey to him.

Guided by that mysterious force, Cao Yu's mind was filled with blurry and strange images, like slides. These images seemed to come from the distant past, carrying a sense of vicissitude and mystery.

In the image, a blurry figure stands in front of a huge device that is very similar to the core in front of him, surrounded by a group of people dressed in black, whose faces look particularly sinister in the darkness.

The blurry figure was holding an object with what appeared to be some mysterious symbols engraved on it.

Cao Yu tried his best to see the symbols clearly, but the image was like a candle flickering in the wind, becoming increasingly blurry, as if it would disappear from his mind at any moment.

"I think I saw something related to the password, but it's too blurry." Cao Yu frowned, a look of helplessness and anxiety on his face.

A glint of excitement flashed across Chapter 159

Conan's eyes suddenly lit up, as if he had seen a glimmer of hope in the darkness. He said, "Cao Yu, try to recall what those symbols looked like. Even a vague impression might be the key to cracking the code."

Cao Yu took a deep breath, slowly closed his eyes, and tried to recreate those fleeting images in his mind.

Fine beads of sweat gradually appeared on his forehead, and his brows were tightly furrowed, as if he was struggling against the fog in his mind, the "480".

After a while, he slowly opened his eyes, a hint of uncertainty flashing in them, and said, "I only remember a symbol, which looked like an upside-down triangle with a curved line inside."

Conan and Ai Haibara exchanged a glance, a glint of excitement flashing in their eyes simultaneously.

They immediately became like two agile hunting dogs, eagerly searching for similar symbols in the relevant materials from the laboratory.

Finally, they found a similar mark on the edge of an old and worn document, next to which was a string of slightly blurred numbers.

"Perhaps this string of numbers and this symbol combined is the code," Conan said excitedly, his tone filled with barely suppressed anticipation.

With trepidation, everyone carefully entered the code corresponding to the string of numbers and symbols into the holographic screen.

The holographic screen flickered slightly a few times, as if performing some kind of complex calculation, before emitting a reassuring green light.

At the same time, the chaotic energy fluctuations around the core, which had been like a runaway horse, began to stabilize, as if gently soothed by an invisible hand.

"We did it!" Kogoro Mouri shouted excitedly, waving his fist and beaming with joy.

However, just when everyone thought they had successfully activated the core and were about to succeed, things did not go as smoothly as they had expected.

The core was not fully activated, but only emitted a low hum, as if telling of some unfinished mission.

Then, a new barrier radiating a mysterious light appeared around the core like a phantom, and strange characters slowly emerged on the barrier.

Ai Haibara leaned forward slightly, carefully examining the text. Her originally fair face gradually became serious: "These texts indicate that this is only a preliminary verification. To fully activate the core, an extremely special condition still needs to be met."

"What are the conditions?" everyone asked in unison, their eyes fixed on Ai Haibara, filled with tension and anticipation.

Ai Haibara slowly raised her head, her gaze sweeping over everyone, and said, "We need someone with a deep bond to the founder of the Black Organization and special abilities to activate Core 0..."

Everyone's eyes involuntarily fell on Cao Yu.

Cao Yu felt everyone's gaze and a complex emotion welled up inside him, as if countless deer were pounding wildly in his heart.

He knew that the strange feeling he had might be the key to solving the mystery, and at this moment, he carried the expectations of everyone and bore the heavy responsibility of stopping the Black Organization's conspiracy.

"I'll give it a try." Cao Yu gritted his teeth, his eyes revealing a firm determination.

He took a deep breath, as if gathering strength for the challenge to come.

Cao Yu slowly approached the core again, and the gravitational force became even stronger, rushing towards him like a surging tide.

He concentrated all his energy and mobilized the mysterious power that had been hidden deep within him all along.

With his efforts, Cao Yu's body began to emit a soft and warm light, like the warm sun in spring, echoing the light emanating from the core, as if they were having a mysterious and ancient dialogue.

Bathed in light, Cao Yu seemed to have entered a special, dreamlike space.

Chapter 160 Quickly Entering Battle Preparation State

Here, time and space seem to lose their original concepts, and everything becomes blurry and mysterious.

He saw the clear figure of the founder of the Black Organization, a man with deep, unfathomable eyes and an icy, cold expression.

The founder looked at Cao Yu quietly, his eyes revealing a complex emotion, a mixture of expectation and scrutiny.

"You've finally arrived here."

"I left this core here to wait for the right person, someone who can understand the balance between technology and power." The founder's voice seemed to come from a distant time and space, deep and full of O02 power, echoing in Cao Yu's ears like a great bell.

Countless questions welled up in Cao Yu's mind, but at this moment he knew that the most urgent task was to complete the activation of the core.

He composed himself and asked, "What should I do?"

The founder slightly raised his head, a hint of seriousness in his eyes, and replied, "Integrate your power with the core, but always remember not to be controlled by the power; guide it with your will."

Once you lose control of your power, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Cao Yu took a deep breath and nodded.

He understood that this was a tremendous test of his will and ability.

Following the founder's instructions, he slowly channeled his power into the core.

The core seemed to sense Cao Yu's power, and its light instantly intensified, with energy fluctuations becoming stronger once again, like an energy storm about to erupt.

This time, however, Cao Yu, with an unwavering will as firm as steel, guided the energy with the same effort as taming a wild horse.

Outside, everyone watched Cao Yu and the core with tense expressions, not daring to breathe.

The light from the core grew stronger and stronger, so intense that it was almost impossible to look directly at it, like a star that was about to explode.

Suddenly, a huge pillar of energy shot into the sky, illuminating the entire area. Wherever the light reached, everything was bathed in a sacred glow.

As the light gradually faded, the core was finally fully activated.

The various devices in the room, which were originally silent, seemed to be injected with vitality and began to operate in an orderly manner.

The previously dark place was instantly illuminated by bright and soft light, giving the entire room a brand new look.

As everyone watched the core being activated, their hearts were filled with joy and emotion, as if all their efforts had been perfectly rewarded at this moment.

However, before they could fully celebrate their hard-won victory, they heard a commotion outside.

Conan's expression changed instantly. He keenly realized that the situation was not good and said, "This is bad. It's possible that the Black Organization has noticed the core activation and is coming over."

Everyone immediately suppressed their joy and quickly entered a state of battle preparation.

Although Cao Yu had exhausted a lot of energy from the fusion just now and was somewhat weak, his eyes remained firm and revealed an indomitable fighting spirit.

"No matter who comes, we won't let them ruin our efforts." Xiaolan clenched her fists, her eyes shining with determination, and said loudly.

A short while later, a group of members of the black-clad organization appeared before them like ghosts.

The leader was a man wearing a black top hat with a sinister and fierce look in his eyes.

His eyes revealed a greed and ambition, as if he wanted to devour everything.

"You guys actually managed to activate the core."

"But do you think this will stop us?" the man said with a sneer, his laughter filled with disdain and arrogance.

Conan looked directly into the man's eyes without fear and said firmly, "Your plot will not succeed."

This core will not be used by you for evil purposes; your ambitions will ultimately be shattered.

The two sides were on the verge of war, the atmosphere was extremely tense, and a fierce battle was about to break out.

The members of the black-clad organization quickly dispersed, surrounding the group like a pack of wolves.

Chapter 161 He hurriedly raised his gun and fired.

They held various advanced weapons in their hands, the dark muzzles gleaming with a cold light, their eyes revealing ferocity and greed, like a pack of hungry wolves eyeing their prey.

Kogoro Mouri made the first move, charging nimbly towards the nearest member of the Black Organization like a fierce cheetah.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the member immediately raised his gun and fired.

However, Kogoro Mouri, with his agile skills, swiftly dodged the bullet like a black lightning bolt, and then delivered a flying kick that struck his opponent's chest with the precision of a heavy hammer, knocking him to the ground.

Ran was not to be outdone. She displayed her superb karate skills, like a strong rose blooming on the battlefield, quickly moving among the members of the Black Organization.

Every move she made was full of power and beauty, and wherever she went, members of the Black Organization fell down like leaves swept by a whirlwind.

Conan, meanwhile, calmly observed the battle from the sidelines, like a strategist searching for the enemy's weaknesses.

He keenly noticed a slight flaw in the coordination between the Black Organization members and immediately cried out to Haibara, "Haibara, take advantage of their gap and attack their communication devices!"

Ai Haibara understood immediately. She quickly took out a small jamming device, which was small and exquisite, but contained a huge amount of energy.

She seized the opportunity and threw it forcefully at the enemy's communication equipment.

The jamming device traced a graceful arc in the air, landed precisely next to the communication equipment, and then exploded, releasing intense electromagnetic interference.

In an instant, communication between the members of the black-clad organization was cut off, and a look of panic appeared on their faces.

Cao Yu gradually recovered some of his strength during the battle, and he felt the surge of that mysterious power within his body.

With a wave of his hands, a powerful energy surged toward the members of the Black Organization like a raging sea.

Wherever the energy passed, the members of the Black Organization seemed to be pushed away by an invisible force, falling to the ground and letting out painful groans.

However, the members of the Black Organization did not give up their resistance easily.

They quickly regrouped and launched an even fiercer attack, like wounded beasts.

Bullets rained down on the crowd, and the air was thick with the acrid smell of gunpowder.

The group had to quickly find cover to take refuge, and bullets hit the cover, sending up sparks.

"This can't go on, we have to find a way to break out!" Kogoro Mori shouted as he dodged bullets.

Conan's eyes lit up, and a plan flashed through his mind. He said, "Listen up, everyone. We'll use the energy field around the core to create chaos, and then take the opportunity to break out."
