After the mysterious figure disappeared into the darkness, Conan and the others were filled with doubt and vigilance. They quickly searched the hideout, hoping to find more clues about this mysterious cult.
“There are definitely other secrets we don’t know about here,” Conan said as he flipped through the files.
Ran Mouri carefully surveyed her surroundings, lest any new dangers arise. Lin Yu, meanwhile, used his high-tech equipment to scan and analyze the scene.
Ai Haibara discovers an ancient book in a corner, which records some of the dark rituals and evil purposes of this sect.
“This book might provide us with some important information,” Ai Haibara said.
Just as they were preparing to examine their findings closely, police sirens suddenly blared outside. It turned out the police had been notified and arrived at the scene.
"Let's leave everything here to the police. Let's go back and think about what to do next," Kogoro Mouri said.
Back home, Conan and the others sat together, discussing their discovery.
"Who exactly is that mysterious figure? He said this is just the beginning. Could something even more terrifying be waiting for us?" Ran Mouri said worriedly.
Looking at the data he had scanned, Lin Yu said, "Judging from the situation on site, this sect's activities have been going on for a long time, and their plans may be much more complicated than we imagined."
After a moment of contemplation, Conan said, "No matter what, we must stop their plot."
Over the next few days, the atmosphere in the city grew increasingly tense. Although the number of missing persons cases had temporarily stopped, the fear in people's hearts had not dissipated.
Conan and his friends continued their investigation and discovered that the sect had many followers in the city, and these followers were distributed across all social classes, including government officials, business elites and ordinary citizens.
“This is terrifying. If they unite, the consequences will be unimaginable,” Ai Haibara said.
During their investigation, Conan and his friends faced numerous threats and obstacles. Some tried to sabotage their investigative data, others secretly followed them, and still others launched direct attacks against them.
"These guys are absolutely insane," Kogoro Mouri said angrily.
One day, Conan received an anonymous letter warning them to stop the investigation or they would face annihilation.
"Do they think they can scare us like this?" Conan said dismissively.
However, danger is closing in step by step.
One night, Ran Mouri was kidnapped on her way home.
"Let me go!" Ran Mouri struggled desperately.
Conan and the others were extremely anxious after discovering that Ran Mouri had gone missing.
"It must have been that cult. We must find her as soon as possible," Conan said.
They searched for clues everywhere, and Lin Yu discovered a suspicious vehicle through surveillance cameras.
"Following this car might lead us to Xiaolan's whereabouts."
They followed the vehicle's trail and arrived at an abandoned factory.
The factory was filled with a pungent odor, and the surroundings were eerie and terrifying.
"Ran, where are you?" Conan shouted.
Suddenly, a group of believers emerged from all directions and surrounded them.
“You’ve walked right into our trap,” one of the believers sneered.
Conan and his friends did not back down and engaged in a fierce battle with the believers.
In the chaos, Conan discovers a locked room and suspects that Ran Mouri might be inside.
He struggled to break through the believers' obstruction, reached the door of the room, and unlocked it.
"Xiao Lan!"
Ran Mouri lay weakly on the ground, tears welling up in her eyes when she saw Conan.
"I knew you would come to save me."
Just then, the mysterious figure reappeared.
"You can't escape."
Conan glared at him and said, "No matter who you are, today is your last day."
A final showdown is about to begin...
