The appearance of the mysterious figure instantly heightened the tension. Conan, protecting Ran Mouri, stood back-to-back with Lin Yu, Ai Haibara, and Kogoro Mouri, warily watching the believers and the mysterious man around them.
"Do you think you can leave here so easily?" the mysterious man sneered.
Conan's eyes were resolute as he replied, "No matter the cost, we will not let your scheme succeed!"
With a wave of his hand, the mysterious figure sent a tidal wave of followers surging forward. Kogoro Mouri roared and charged forward, his fists flying like lightning, instantly knocking down several followers. Lin Yu, meanwhile, used his high-tech weaponry to fire beams of laser light, temporarily forcing back some of the enemies.
Conan and Ai Haibara quickly helped Ran Mouri up and moved towards the factory's exit.
"Don't let them get away!" the mysterious man shouted from behind.
The believers attacked even more frantically, trying to stop them. Although physically weak, Ran Mouri gritted her teeth and fought alongside Conan and the others against the enemy.
During the fierce battle, Conan noticed a hint of urgency and anxiety in the mysterious man's eyes.
"He's afraid we'll escape!" Conan thought to himself.
"Everyone, follow me! The exit is just ahead!" Conan shouted.
They struggled to break through the believers' encirclement and gradually approached the exit.
Seeing that things were going badly, the mysterious man rushed over himself. He was extremely agile and forced Kogoro Mori back in just a few moves.
Taking advantage of the situation, Conan picked up an iron rod from the ground and attacked the mysterious man. The mysterious man dodged to the side and grabbed Conan's arm.
"Kid, don't overestimate yourself!" The mysterious man threw Conan away with a forceful shove.
Ai Haibara quickly ran over and helped Conan up.
"I'm fine, go protect Ran!" Conan shouted.
Just then, Lin Yu discovered the mysterious man's weakness.
"His left-side defense is weak!" Lin Yu shouted a warning.
Upon hearing this, Ran Mouri leaped forward and kicked the mysterious man's left side. The mysterious man was unable to dodge in time and was knocked to the ground.
"Now! Run!" Conan shouted.
Taking advantage of the moment when the mysterious man fell to the ground, they finally rushed out of the factory.
However, the mysterious man and his followers did not give up; they pursued him relentlessly.
"There's a car up ahead, get in quickly!" Lin Yu spotted a car parked on the side of the road.
Everyone quickly got into the car, Lin Yu started the engine, and the car sped away.
The mysterious man stood there, watching the car drive away, his face grim.
After returning to a safe place, Conan and the others began to discuss their next plan.
“We must find out the true identity of the mysterious men and their ultimate goal,” Conan said.
After resting, Ran Mouri has recovered somewhat.
"Whatever their schemes, we must stop them!"
By analyzing the clues they had gathered, they discovered that the mysterious man had close ties with a large corporation in the city.
“This company may be their source of funding and cover,” Ai Haibara said.
Conan decides to infiltrate the company to investigate.
Inside the company, Conan carefully avoided security guards and surveillance cameras, searching for useful information.
Finally, he found an important document in an office, which contained the detailed plans of the mysterious cult.
It turns out that they planned to use an ancient and evil ritual to control the minds of the people in the entire city, thereby achieving their rule.
"This is terrible! We must stop them as soon as possible!" Conan grabbed the documents and quickly left the company.
They handed the documents over to the police, who immediately launched an operation to arrest the mysterious cult and its members.
Under the police's powerful offensive, members of the mysterious cult were captured one after another, and the mysterious man was also subdued by Conan and others in a fierce conflict.
The city finally emerged from the crisis and returned to its former tranquility.
Conan and his friends once again became heroes of the city.
“Although this crisis is over, we must continue to protect this city,” Conan said.
Everyone nodded in agreement. They knew that many more challenges awaited them in the future, but they were fearless...
