The moment the two of them walked in, the gate of the villa slammed shut with a loud bang.
What made Harufumi Mogi even more desperate was that all the windows of the villa were being sealed off by flowing gold. The moment the sound of rain completely disappeared meant that no one could leave the villa.
Before they could even think, an echoing voice resounded throughout the entire villa.
"Ahem... Can you hear me?"
"Since you all want the treasure so much."
Yuzuru took Ai's hand and walked towards a room on the second floor, his voice drifting softly into the ears of everyone in different parts of the villa.
"How about we play an even bigger game—the treasure hunt is over, the battle royale begins..."
He patiently explained the rules of the game to the people in different parts of the villa as he walked around, "Battle Royale, as the name suggests, only one winner can walk out of the villa standing up, and the winner can also choose one item from my collection of artworks to take away..."
Ai looked up at Yuzuru, who was speaking with such confidence.
So quickly it became a piece of art in our family collection?
Noticing Ai's gaze, Yuusuke raised an eyebrow. Could he really let go of a prize that was already in his grasp?
Even if Karasuma Renya were to come now, he wouldn't dare say this is his treasure.
...
...
The game is definitely not that simple.
A simple battle royale game is too boring.
Given the inequalities in physical condition and equipment among the people in the annex, Yuzuru Nan specially prepared a small prop that he had weakened for each of them.
For example, a protective shield ball that can block three instances of damage.
There is also a disposable air pistol fluid that can fire 10 shockwaves that can stun a person.
Let's have an exciting and thrilling item-based brawl!
In the living room.
Hattori Heiji and Conan, huddled behind the sofa, stared at the small ball and the bottle containing an unknown liquid that had appeared out of nowhere in front of them, their faces full of bitterness.
"That guy, he really did go down in the arena after all..."
Conan was speechless. He knew all along that once Yuzuru was here, he would definitely cause trouble, otherwise it wouldn't be in line with his personality.
I just didn't expect it to go this far.
This is going to keep them all here!
"What do we do, Kudo? Are we really going to listen to this guy and play this damn battle royale game?"
As Hattori Heiji asked this, he took his own set of tools and carefully applied the air gun fluid to his ten fingers.
Someone just explained how to use it to them.
“The question now isn’t whether we want to play or not…” Conan repeated his best friend’s actions while cautiously observing the people scattered around him in different locations.
The Dark Forest Theory.
It appears instantly.
Nobody knows what the other person is thinking right now, and what if that person wants to be the final winner?
Not to mention, besides the original mastermind, there are also members of the organization in this villa.
These two are ruthless characters who kill without blinking an eye.
"Damn it!!! He's making a fool of us!"
Hattori Heiji angrily slammed his fist into the ground, then silently withdrew it.
On the third floor, Ishihara Aki trembled as he pulled out his satellite phone.
When she heard Gin's roar of "Retreat immediately!", she despairingly discovered that all the exits of the annex were being sealed off by flowing gold—the controller of this game was someone that no human could fathom.
...
...
On the second floor, in a study.
Senma Kōyo, who had returned to the annex at some point and was rummaging through the bookshelves, suddenly froze—the remote-controlled detonator she had hidden in "Faust" was now being coiled up by a golden python and taken somewhere unknown.
That was part of her original plan: if the group of detectives she invited couldn't find the treasure either, then she would detonate all the bombs she had planted beforehand.
He wanted to take the entire Twilight Villa, along with its so-called treasures, down with him.
However, because of a document she saw on the police intranet, she impulsively invited a teenager, which caused her plan to completely spiral out of control.
"The improved mercury bomb of 1980."
Yuzuru reached out and picked up a walnut-sized device from the mouth of the golden python that had come to his leg. He twirled it in a dazzling arc of light between his fingertips. “Using the rhymes of Shakespeare’s sonnets to set a countdown, what an elegantly perverse sense of humor.”
Hehe~
Looking at the man beside her who had no self-awareness whatsoever, Ai sneered disdainfully and turned back to continue watching the surveillance footage in front of her.
His sense of humor is truly awful; who could be more awful than him?
The room they are in now is a monitoring room filled with screens.
This place was originally used by Senma Kazuyo to monitor every move in the annex, but unfortunately it has now become the screen for Hanyu Nana and Ai to watch battle royale games.
It's not a waste of talent.
"Then, let's begin the game."
Yuzuru crossed his legs and leaned back lazily in the boss's chair.
The surveillance footage in front of him showed the phantom thief, the detective, and members of the organization preparing for his game.
Um……
I almost forgot, there are also NPCs in the game.
Xiaolan and Heye are the NPCs in this game.
Yuzuru had already told them that there wasn't a single good person in the villa; they were either phantom thieves or assassins.
They would attack anyone they encountered indiscriminately.
The only one who might not be attacked is Conan.
After all, Kidd can't pretend to be a child, so this can be seen as compensation for his smaller stature compared to others.
...
...
The night was alluring, but a fierce storm raged.
Meanwhile, a tense and exciting battle royale was taking place in the annex.
Panting heavily, Kogoro Mouri finally rushed back.
Even though he's quite old, he's left everyone behind.
"Oh dear, what happened? Is all of this gold?"
Standing in front of the gate, Kogoro Mori stared wide-eyed at the glittering villa, panting heavily and swallowing hard.
With so much gold, how many madams could he hire?
After unable to resist pressing his face against the golden wall and thoroughly absorbing the aura of gold, Kogoro Mouri straightened his clothes and pushed open the door to go inside...
push!
Push again!
Kogoro Mouri was dumbfounded when he couldn't open the door after several attempts.
Wait, what's going on? I haven't even gone in yet!
"Xiao Lan! Xiao Lan! Can you hear me? Come open the door!"
"Yuzuru! Yuzuru! I haven't gone in yet!"
Locked out and completely unaware of what was happening inside, Kogoro Mouri furiously pounded on the door.
