Lin Yu activated the high-tech equipment, firing beams of electricity in an attempt to paralyze the squid's nervous system. The electricity struck the squid's body, causing it to tremble slightly, but thanks to its tenacious vitality, it continued its attack.
Conan quickly considered a countermeasure. He observed that squid change color using pigment cells to confuse their prey when attacking. Conan realized he could use this to disrupt the squid's attack rhythm by interfering with these pigment cell changes.
"Lin Yu, use your equipment to emit a strong flash of light to interfere with its pigment cells!" Conan shouted.
Lin Yu immediately adjusted his equipment and emitted a powerful flash. The flash illuminated the dark canyon instantly. Stimulated by the intense light, the squid's pigment cells began to malfunction, causing its color changes to become completely irregular. The squid seemed to lose its sense of direction, and its attacks became chaotic and disorganized.
Taking advantage of the squid's confusion, everyone concentrated their efforts on attacking its weak points. Through their combined efforts, they finally managed to defeat the squid.
"Phew, this squid is really tenacious," Ran Mouri said with a sigh of relief.
"Don't relax, everyone. We still need to keep searching for that special deep-sea plant," Conan said.
They continued their exploration of the dark canyon, carefully avoiding the various hidden dangers. Deep within the canyon, they finally discovered the peculiar deep-sea plant. This plant, shaped like coral, emitted a faint blue glow, making it particularly conspicuous in the darkness.
Conan carefully collected some plant essences and placed them in a special container. Afterwards, the group quickly returned to the cave where the crystal ball was located.
Back in the cave, Conan infused the collected plant essence into the crystal ball. After absorbing the essence, the crystal ball shone brightly, filling the entire cave with light. As the light flickered, the energy field of the deep sea completely stabilized, and all the anomalies disappeared.
"We finally succeeded. The seal on the deep sea is now completely reinforced," Ai Haibara said with relief.
Conan and his friends, filled with the joy of victory, slowly surfaced and left the perilous deep-sea area. When they returned to the research vessel, the sky had cleared, and sunlight shone on the sea, making it sparkle.
In this deep-sea adventure, Conan and his friends, through their wisdom, courage, and unity, successfully averted a crisis that could have brought immense disaster to the world. However, Conan knows that in this world full of unknowns, many more challenges await them. But no matter what the future holds, he and his companions will continue to face it bravely, protecting the peace and tranquility of the world.
Back in the city, Conan and his friends' lives returned to normal for a while. But this peace didn't last long. One day, on his way home from school, Conan saw a group of people gathered around a bulletin board, discussing something. Curious, Conan went closer and discovered a mysterious poster on the board. The poster depicted an ancient castle surrounded by an eerie mist, and below it read: "Search for lost treasure, unravel the mystery of the castle. Heroes, gather at the castle on the night of the full moon." A sense of familiarity washed over Conan; he knew a new adventure was about to begin…
Driven by curiosity, Conan immediately ran back to the Mouri Detective Agency and told Ran Mouri, Ai Haibara, Yoru Kage, and Lin Yu about the poster. The group sat together, looking at the poster Conan had drawn, their expressions varying.
"This poster looks very mysterious—a full moon night, an ancient castle, lost treasure—it feels like there's a big secret hidden behind it," Ran Mouri said, her eyes sparkling with curiosity.
"Could this be another trap? We've encountered far too many situations like this that seem tempting but are actually dangerous before." Ai Haibara frowned, looking wary.
After a moment of contemplation, Nightshade said, "Whether it's a trap or not, there's definitely something worth investigating. If some criminals are using this to do bad things, we can't just sit idly by."
Lin Yu exclaimed excitedly, "Wow, another new adventure! Maybe we'll find some amazing treasure this time!"
Conan nodded in agreement with Nightshade's opinion: "That's right, let's gather information about this castle first. Lin Yu, you use the internet and your high-tech equipment to search for any records about this castle; Ai Haibara, you go to the library to look up relevant historical materials; Ran and Nightshade, let's go together and ask around to see if anyone knows the exact location of this castle and any related legends."
Everyone sprang into action. Lin Yu returned to his studio, sat down at his computer, and his fingers flew across the keyboard, using various search engines and databases to search for information about the ancient castle. At the same time, he activated a satellite monitoring system, attempting to find buildings resembling the castle in the poster from aerial images.
Ai Haibara wandered among the library's bookshelves, flipping through ancient history books. She meticulously searched for every clue that might be related to the castle, from ancient geographical records to collections of folk tales, leaving no detail overlooked.
Conan, Ran Mouri, and Nightshade wandered through the city's streets and alleys, asking local elders and scholars who were knowledgeable about history and culture. However, most people knew nothing about the castle until they met an elderly scholar with white hair.
The old scholar's expression turned grave after hearing their description. "I have read about such a castle in some ancient documents. It is said that this castle is hidden deep in the mountains and was once the residence of an evil wizard. The castle contains a mysterious treasure, but it is also under a powerful curse. Few who enter the castle come out alive."
