Faced with the crowd controlled by a mysterious force, Conan and the others were on high alert. Ran Mouri was the first to charge forward, her karate moves swift and deadly, instantly taking down several of the people in front. Nightshade, meanwhile, used her agility to weave through the crowd, searching for an opportunity to break through.
Lin Yu used his high-tech equipment to release bursts of electricity, temporarily halting the advance of some people. Ai Haibara calmly observed the situation from the sidelines, considering a countermeasure.
"This can't go on. We must find the source of their problems as soon as possible!" Conan shouted.
While resisting the attacks from the crowd, the group moved closer to the device.
Just as they were about to approach the device, it suddenly released a powerful energy wave that sent them all flying.
"Ah!" Ran Mouri fell heavily to the ground.
"Ran-neechan!" Conan rushed over to help her up.
"I'm fine, don't worry about me, go stop that device!" Ran Mouri said.
Conan nodded and rushed toward the device again.
Night Shadow and Lin Yu followed closely behind, and they struggled to break through the energy wave barrier, finally arriving in front of the device.
"What exactly is this thing?" Lin Yu looked at the complex circuits and runes on the device, completely bewildered.
Ai Haibara walked over and observed carefully for a while: "This may be a kind of mind control device that manipulates people's thoughts by releasing special energy waves."
"Then how do we turn it off?" Nightshade asked.
Conan thought for a moment: "There must be some kind of control switch or password cracking mechanism."
They began searching for clues around the device.
At this moment, the manipulated crowd surrounded them again, and the attack became even more ferocious.
Ran Mouri and Yoruichi fought back against the crowd's attack, buying time for Conan and Ai Haibara.
Conan discovered a hidden control panel at the bottom of the device, which had a series of complex buttons and password input boxes.
"Ai Haibara, can you see if you can crack this code?" Conan said.
Ai Haibara stepped forward and began analyzing the clues on the control panel.
After some tense calculations and attempts, Ai Haibara finally entered the correct password.
The device emitted a buzzing sound and then stopped operating.
The manipulated crowd collapsed to the ground, losing consciousness.
"We did it!" Lin Yu exclaimed excitedly.
However, before they could even breathe a sigh of relief, an alarm suddenly went off in the factory.
"Oh no, there might be other dangers," Conan said.
They quickly disembarked from the device, preparing to deal with the new situation.
At that moment, a group of people dressed in black uniforms rushed in.
"Who are you?" Conan asked.
“We’re here to retrieve this device, so you’d better not meddle,” said the leader.
“This device has harmed so many people, you can’t take it away!” Ran Mouri said.
"This is not something you can decide," the man in black said, before launching an attack on Conan and the others.
Conan and his friends engaged in a fierce battle with the men in black.
These men in black were clearly professionally trained and very capable.
Conan used his intelligence to find the man in black's weakness and successfully defeated several enemies.
Ran Mouri's karate skills also played a significant role, with each of her attacks proving difficult for the men in black to withstand.
Night Shadow and Lin Yu worked together seamlessly, with one drawing the enemy's attention and the other launching a sneak attack from behind.
Ai Haibara observed the situation from the sidelines, offering support and advice to everyone.
With the combined efforts of Conan and the others, the men in black gradually found themselves at a disadvantage.
"Retreat!" Seeing the situation was dire, the leader of the men in black gave the order to retreat.
The man in black quickly fled the factory.
"We can't let them get away!" Lin Yu said.
"Don't chase them yet, we don't know their background," Conan said.
They began inspecting the factory and discovered some research materials about the device.
"It seems there's a bigger conspiracy behind this," Conan said.
"So what do we do next?" Ran Mouri asked.
Conan pondered for a moment: "Let's take these documents back and study them first, and then figure out how to find out who's behind it all."
They took the materials back to their lodgings and began to study them carefully.
Through analysis of the data, they discovered that this device was only part of a larger plan.
“If this plan is implemented, it will bring enormous disaster to the city,” Ai Haibara said.
“We must stop it,” Conan said.
They decided to continue their investigation based on the clues in the documents.
During the investigation, they encountered all sorts of difficulties and dangers.
On one occasion, they encountered a trap in a secret laboratory and were almost trapped inside.
On another occasion, they were chased by men in black and found themselves in dire straits.
But Conan and his friends never gave up. With their unwavering faith and courage, they turned danger into safety time and time again.
Finally, they found the mastermind's hiding place.
"This is it, everyone be careful," Conan said.
They stealthily infiltrated the enemy base; a final battle was about to unfold...
