Chapter 668 Weak, pitiful, and helpless

The young man clutched his heart, frowning at their stunned expressions. A dangerous glint flashed in his light purple eyes. "It's dangerous here. I advise you to leave as soon as possible."

After saying that, he casually threw the stick in his hand aside and left the place with slightly unsteady steps.

"Hey, wait... a minute..."

Conan snapped out of his daze, turned around and spoke to him, only to see that the other person was almost collapsing due to exhaustion. He quickly ran over and helped him up.

Based on his hair and eye color, as well as the necklace around his neck, Conan guessed that this was Kawasaki Machi.

only……

How come they've grown so big in just a short while? I don't even recognize them anymore!

Despite his doubts, he still contacted Okiya Subaru via text message, asking him to come and pick him up.

After all, it would be difficult to explain why he was in this state in front of everyone.

The young man glanced at them a few times, then suddenly asked, "The nearest residence is that villa. Do you live there?"

Conan, who had just sent the text message, was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, then shook his head. "No, we don't live there."

He briefly explained the situation to him.

To everyone's surprise, the young man frowned immediately after hearing this, "You'd better leave there quickly, those people are no good."

"It's related to Death?" Conan made the connection and blurted out.

The young man blinked. "How does a little kid like you know about such a dangerous organization?"

Conan: "..."

"It was Kawakami who told us," Ai Haibara said calmly, having also realized the point.

"That guy, Zhenru?" The young man thought for a moment, leaned back against the tree trunk, raised an eyebrow, and spoke in a tone that was both full of emotion and disbelief: "When did that guy become so unreliable? He actually told two kids about this kind of thing?"

Conan and Ai Haibara: "..."

Although speechless, Conan, who was supporting him, could still feel his body trembling slightly.

"How are you?"

He looked up at the young man's face and found that he was very pale and his hair was soaked with sweat.

Upon hearing this, the young man brushed his slightly damp bangs back and replied weakly, "It might not be good. When I woke up, I found that members of Death were injecting me with some unknown drug."

Moreover, he felt his eyelids getting heavier and heavier. Almost the next second after he finished speaking, his neck tilted to the side, his head rested on Conan's shoulder, and he fainted.

Fortunately, he was leaning against a tree trunk, otherwise he would have fallen straight to the ground.

Seeing this, Ai Haibara reached out to check and found that he had fainted. She then glanced at Conan and asked, "Who did you call here just now?"

Conan grinned and uttered a name: "Subaru Okiya."

Ai Haibara: "..."

Before the police could find the place, Subaru Okiya appeared first and took the unconscious young man away.

Conan and Ai Haibara returned to Professor Agasa's side, quietly told him what had happened, and gave him a solution.

When Professor Agasa told the police that the child had been picked up by his brother, Conan noticed that the seemingly friendly people had furrowed their brows and their eyes flashed with a fierce light.

It seems they might indeed be members of Death, but there's no evidence yet, and the police wouldn't believe it even if we told them.

Before the police had completely left, Honda Sasaki suddenly invited Professor Agasa and the others back to the villa to play, and the short-haired woman even suggested that they stay there for the night.

The atmosphere became somewhat eerie.

Dr. Agasa did not agree. After all, he had heard from Shinichi that they were not good people, so how could he let the children continue to stay with them?

They returned to their own car, which had been filled with gas.

However, after they had driven for a while, the villa suddenly exploded with a loud bang, and the entire villa was engulfed in flames.

Fortunately, the police hadn't gone far away. After hearing the noise, they quickly returned and contacted the fire department; otherwise, the entire forest behind would have been affected.

None of the nine men and women were able to escape from inside.

The Junior Detective League was terrified upon learning this news.

"Oh my god, this is such a perfect coincidence! If we had stayed there, we would definitely have been trapped in the villa too!"

Conan's gaze turned serious.

Because he knew that this was definitely not an accident, but rather an attempt to erase all traces, including those of the nine men and women who knew about it.

Moreover, the other party originally invited them back to the villa with the intention of eliminating them as well.

It was obvious that those people knew they would die if the mission failed.

...

When the young man with long pink hair woke up, he found himself in an unfamiliar room.

He sat up abruptly, instinctively looking around the room warily.

Then the door was pushed open, and a child, a young man, and an old man came in from outside.

Upon seeing Conan, the wariness in his eyes lessened slightly.

As for why Ai Haibara wasn't there, it was probably because Subaru Okiya was.

"You're awake. Would you like something to eat first?"

Okiya Subaru held a small earthenware pot in his hand, placed it on the bedside table, and looked at him.

The young man looked at the squinty-eyed man in front of him, blinked, and looked at Conan.

Conan coughed lightly, and considering that he didn't remember them, he introduced them: "I am Conan Edogawa, this is Mr. Subaru Okiya, he helped bring you back last night, and this is Professor Agasa. The girl you saw with me yesterday is Ai Haibara."

The young man nodded knowingly.

Conan then added, "I've already contacted Kawasaki, he'll be here soon."

The young man, who was about to speak, silently shut up.

Well, Kawasaki Maru's efficiency is really high. He arrived here not long after Conan finished speaking.

He glanced at the young version of Kawasaki Machi, then walked over and looked him over again.

Kawasaki Machi blinked. "It's been a while, and you've become even colder, Maru."

Kawasaki Maru: "..."

He didn't say anything, but silently took out the blood-drawing equipment from the inside pocket of his coat, and then stared at him intently.

Kawasaki Machi opened her eyes slightly, then moved further into the bed, looking weak, pitiful, and helpless.

"Do we need to have blood drawn? Can I skip it?"

“No.” Kawasaki Maru said coldly.

Kawasaki Machi looked resistant, but still moved back to the bedside and rolled up his sleeves.

Before drawing his blood, Kawasaki Maru, as if it were a habit, raised her hand and patted Machi's head. "Don't be afraid, it will be over soon."
