Detective Conan: Starting with Yukiko covered in black stockings!

They are like sharp blades, ready to pierce the enemy's heart at any moment.

On the day of the operation, it was still dark, and the pre-dawn darkness shrouded the earth like a heavy black cloth.

The special forces then stealthily infiltrated the mountains like ghosts.

They split into several groups and stealthily made their way to the target location along different routes.

Cao Yu and Amuro Tooru's team are tasked with a frontal assault. Like brave vanguards, they will be the first to engage in fierce battles with the enemy.

Conan and Ai Haibara's team is responsible for providing technical support and intelligence gathering. They act as the brains of the operation, providing crucial information and technical support for the entire mission.

Meanwhile, police and FBI members were responsible for sealing off the surrounding area, acting as a sturdy shield to prevent the enemy from escaping.

As the groups gradually approached the target area, they found that it was indeed heavily guarded, like an impregnable fortress.

The base is surrounded by various advanced surveillance devices, which act like the eyes of the enemy, constantly monitoring every move around it.

The fortifications were intricate and complex, with towering walls, dense barbed wire, and hidden traps.

There were also a large number of members of the Black Organization and mercenaries from international criminal groups patrolling, heavily armed and vigilant, like a pack of well-trained wolves.

"It seems the enemy was prepared. We must proceed with caution," Cao Yu said in a low voice, his tone tinged with seriousness.

He was well aware of the difficulty of this mission, but his eyes revealed a firm determination.

Amuro Tooru nodded, then signaled to his team members to use the surrounding terrain to advance covertly.

The team members moved with the agility of cheetahs, using natural cover such as trees and rocks to silently approach the base.

Just as they were preparing to launch their attack, they suddenly heard the roar of a helicopter.

The sound came from afar, shaking the earth like thunder.

Several armed helicopters appeared in the sky, like huge steel monsters, flying rapidly toward their location.

"Oh no, we've been discovered!" Conan shouted through the communication device, his voice tinged with anxiety.

Cao Yu reacted quickly, concentrating his mind and mobilizing the power of 527 fused with the "Key of Light".

A powerful energy surged within him, and then he released a dazzling beam of purifying light, like a magnificent dragon, which shot towards the helicopter.

The purifying light struck one of the helicopters, causing a violent explosion.

Flames shot into the sky, debris flew everywhere, and the helicopter, like a bird with broken wings, crashed into the jungle.

Seeing this, the other helicopters began strafing them relentlessly.

Bullets rained down, striking trees and rocks and sending sparks flying.

The special forces members quickly sought cover and fought back with their weapons.

Gunfire erupted, smoke filled the air, and the entire mountainous area was engulfed in flames.

Chapter 201 Desperate Counterattack (Part 1)

During the fierce firefight, Conan, with his keen observation skills, discovered a weak point in the enemy's defenses.

He quickly relayed the message to the other groups via communication equipment, his voice firm and clear: "We'll break through here and draw the enemy's attention, while you launch your general offensive."

After receiving the message, Cao Yu and Amuro Tooru led their respective groups to quickly adjust their tactics and prepare to launch an attack.

Conan's team, like valiant commandos, launched an attack on the enemy's weak point.

They weaved through a hail of bullets and engaged in close combat with the enemy.

Ever since Amuro Tooru, with his extraordinary courage and wisdom, successfully rescued Hua Lao and Ashida Kainan from the clutches of the remnants of the Black Organization, Conan and the others have known that the Black Organization and international criminal groups are like ferocious beasts lurking in the depths of darkness, and they will never give up easily. A more intense and brutal confrontation is already brewing.

Sure enough, after a seemingly calm but turbulent period of dormancy, the enemy, like a venomous snake that has caught the scent of its prey, is once again stirring.

But Conan and Cao Yu were not about to sit idly by and wait for their doom. They were also making preparations in earnest, with firm beliefs, determined to deliver a fatal blow to the enemy and completely shatter their vile conspiracy.

Although Cao Yu had previously managed to escape the predicament of losing control of his abilities, after a series of life-or-death battles with the Black Organization and international criminal groups, he keenly realized that his ability to merge with the "Key of Light" seemed to be affected by some imperceptible but latent influences.

Occasionally, when he tries to mobilize his power, he can feel that familiar energy becoming unstable, as if a turbulent whirlpool is hidden beneath a calm lake.

To ensure he could perform at his best in the increasingly difficult battles to come, Cao Yu, with the help of Vermouth and Conan, devoted himself wholeheartedly to in-depth research and rigorous training of his own abilities.

Vermouth, a mysterious figure who has been immersed in the Black Organization for many years, has accumulated a wealth of unique insights and valuable experience regarding various mystical forces.

Conan, with his hawk-like keen insight and amazing reasoning ability, has long been the core of the team's wisdom.

The two of them joined hands and embarked on a journey with Cao Yu to explore the mysteries of abilities.

In the following days and nights of continuous research and repeated attempts, they were like travelers groping in the dark, not letting go of any possible clues.

Finally, they found a way to temporarily stabilize and enhance Cao Yu's abilities.

Through specific meditation techniques, Cao Yu was able to calm his mind like a deep lake, thus better resonating with the power of the "Key of Light".

At the same time, with his unique energy guiding techniques, he was able to control this powerful force more freely, making the light of purification not only more stable, but also significantly enhancing its power, making the light more dazzling and radiant, as if it contained endless energy.

Meanwhile, Conan and his friends, like industrious spiders, weave a vast and complex intelligence-gathering network.

They worked tirelessly, utilizing all available resources and connections, and after countless setbacks and frustrations, finally pinpointed a crucial stronghold of the international criminal syndicate (Li Le Zhao).

This outpost is located in an abandoned industrial city, surrounded by tall and gloomy abandoned factories. The intricate pipes, like a giant spider web, crisscross and shroud the entire area in an eerie atmosphere, like a steel maze that inspires fear.

The base's defenses were impregnable, with a multitude of advanced and astonishing surveillance devices. These devices acted like countless vigilant eyes, constantly watching every move around them.

Chapter 202 An Insurmountable Gap

The automatic defense system is even more insidious; once triggered, it will bring utter destruction to the intruders.

In addition, a large number of well-trained and ruthless armed personnel patrol the stronghold continuously. Their steps are orderly and their eyes reveal a chilling murderous aura.

But Conan and his friends knew that if they wanted to truly sever the evil collusion between the Black Organization and international criminal groups, this stronghold was like a malignant tumor that had to be resolutely eradicated.

Thus, a meticulously planned and interconnected rescue and strike operation quietly unfolded under the cover of night.

Cao Yu, Conan, Amuro Tooru, Vermouth, and Ashida Kennya formed an elite squad that, like ghosts in the night, secretly infiltrated the abandoned industrial city.

The city at night, like a corner forgotten by death, was shrouded in a suffocating silence. 5

Only the occasional flickering of faint lights, like the last breath of life clinging to life in this dead city, swayed uncertainly in the darkness, as if they could be swallowed up by darkness at any moment.

With their exceptional stealth skills, the team members moved like ghosts through abandoned streets and factories, taking each step carefully and trying not to make a sound, gradually approaching the criminal group's hideout.

When they finally approached the stronghold, they discovered that the surrounding defenses were far more complex and formidable than they had imagined, resembling an impregnable fortress.

The stronghold was surrounded by multiple layers of security lines, resembling insurmountable chasms.

Every so often, a watchtower stands on (acae), its searchlights like ghostly eyes scanning back and forth in the darkness, their pale light seemingly able to penetrate the darkness and see through everything.

The perimeter is not only equipped with numerous hidden traps, like venomous snakes lurking in the shadows, ready to deliver a fatal blow to any intruder, but also filled with various advanced sensors. Even the slightest movement could instantly trigger an alarm, exposing them to enemy fire.

Cao Yu and his men, like dancers walking on a tightrope, carefully avoided the defensive structures, making full use of the surrounding ruins and abandoned machinery as cover. Like a group of stealthy hunters, they cautiously infiltrated the stronghold step by step.

Finally, they discovered a relatively weak entrance—an abandoned underground pipe.

This pipeline, like a giant dragon sleeping in the darkness, silently meanders into the interior of the stronghold.

Without hesitation, Cao Yu and Amuro Tooru stepped into the pipe first.

They gripped their weapons tightly, their nerves on edge, vigilantly observing every subtle movement around them.

The pipes were dark and damp, filled with a pungent, putrid stench—the smell of time and decay.

Occasionally, the rustling of mice in the darkness could be heard, as if reminding them that this was a dark and dangerous territory.

The other members, following Cao Yu and Amuro Tooru's instructions, cautiously followed suit one after another.

Everyone maintained close contact through miniature communication devices, and everyone was fully focused, ready to deal with any sudden danger.

Just as they were carefully making their way along the pipe, they suddenly heard a clear sound of footsteps ahead.

The footsteps echoed in the silent pipes, striking everyone's hearts like a heavy hammer blow.

Cao Yu and Amuro Tooru reacted quickly, gesturing for everyone to be quiet while they each found suitable cover to hide in.

A moment later, two armed patrolmen appeared in their field of vision, marching in unison.

The two armed men were dressed in black combat uniforms and wore cold masks, revealing only their wary eyes.

Cao Yu and Amuro Tooru exchanged a glance, understanding each other perfectly.

In an instant, they pounced like cheetahs, their movements as swift as lightning, instantly attacking the two unsuspecting armed men.

Chapter 203 Decisive Launch of a Surprise Attack

Relying on the immense power gained from merging with the "Key of Light," Cao Yu lunged forward and delivered a swift, deadly hand chop to the neck of an armed man, instantly rendering him unconscious.

Almost simultaneously, Amuro Tooru, with his superb fighting skills, delivered a beautiful spinning kick, knocking another armed man to the ground and subduing him before he could even make a sound.

The whole process was clean and efficient, without making much noise, as if everything was done silently.

After eliminating the two patrolmen, the team continued along the pipeline.

After groping around in the dark for a long time, they finally found the exit of the pipe.

The exit connects to a storage warehouse inside the stronghold, which is filled with all sorts of supplies and weapons.

Boxes of ammunition were displayed on the shelves, various advanced firearms hung on the walls, and some heavy weapons that were not yet fully assembled were piled on the floor.

The squad members carefully made their way through the warehouse, trying not to touch anything around them to avoid making noise and attracting the enemy's attention.

They arrived at the base's corridor, which was dimly lit and flickering as if it might go out at any moment, giving people a sense of oppression and unease.

In the silence, it seemed as if countless eyes were watching them.

They walked slowly down the corridor when suddenly, a loud argument came from ahead.

Cao Yu and the others immediately stopped and cautiously approached the source of the sound.

They discovered that a group of criminal gang members were arguing heatedly about something.

From their intermittent conversation, Cao Yu and the others learned that the Black Organization and the international crime syndicate had developed serious disagreements due to the failure of their last operation.

The black-clad organization angrily accused the international crime syndicate of being incompetent and having numerous flaws in its operations, which led to the complete failure of the entire plan.

The international crime syndicate, however, showed no weakness, instead blaming the Black Organization for acting recklessly and attracting such a powerful and troublesome opponent as Conan and his friends.

Both sides stuck to their own versions of events, arguing incessantly, and their emotions grew increasingly agitated.

Just as they were arguing fiercely, Cao Yu and his men seized this excellent opportunity and decisively launched a surprise attack.

Cao Yu made the first move. He concentrated his mind and mobilized the powerful force within his body that was fused with the "Key of Light," instantly releasing a dazzling purifying light.

The light, like the dawn's first rays, instantly illuminated the entire dimly lit corridor.

Startled by the sudden burst of bright light, the enemy instinctively closed their eyes, their faces contorted in pain, and they fell into a brief state of confusion.

Conan, Amuro Tooru, and the others seized the opportunity to pounce on the enemy like tigers, engaging in fierce close combat.

··Requesting 0 flowers····

In an instant, shouts of battle filled the corridor, the muffled thuds of fists and feet colliding with the clang of weapons clashing, creating a fierce battle symphony.

However, the enemy was numerous and well-trained.

Soon, they recovered from the chaos and, with their overwhelming numerical advantage, gradually surrounded Cao Yu and his group.

The situation became extremely critical, with enemies surging in like a tidal wave, and Cao Yu and his men were caught in a fierce battle.

At this critical moment, Ashida Kainan suddenly had a flash of inspiration. He remembered that he carried some special tools and that he might be able to use his skills to break through the enemy's defenses and create a chance for everyone to break through.

Under Conan's full cover, Ashida Kainan moved like a nimble squirrel, quickly darting around the base to find the control terminal of the defense system.

Finally, he found the complex electronic device in a hidden corner.

The control terminal was surrounded by a maze of intricate wiring and flashing indicator lights, resembling a mysterious and dangerous labyrinth.

Ashida Kainan took a deep breath, quickly squatted down, and skillfully operated the tools in his hands to begin cracking the control terminal's password.

Chapter 204 blocked their way

His fingers danced across the keyboard, as if he were playing a stirring piano piece.

Eyes glued to the ever-changing code on the screen, brain working at high speed, analyzing the meaning behind each character.

Time passed second by second, each second feeling like an eternity.

The enemy's attacks became increasingly fierce. Cao Yu and the others fought back with all their might, and some wounds, some deep and some shallow, began to appear on their bodies. But they still gritted their teeth and persevered, buying precious "543" time for Ashida Kenan.

Finally, thanks to Ashida Kenan's tireless efforts, the password to the defense system was successfully cracked.

A relieved smile appeared on his face as he quickly inputted a series of instructions that he had already conceived in his mind.

As the command was input, some of the monitoring equipment in the stronghold went black instantly, and the automatic defense weapons also stopped attacking. The defense system, which had posed a huge threat to Cao Yu and his group, was instantly paralyzed.
