As the sound of the mechanism activating rang out, Conan and the others instantly became alert.
"Everyone be careful!" Conan shouted.
The surrounding walls began to move slowly, and cracks appeared in the ground.
Ran Mouri gripped Conan's arm tightly, her voice trembling slightly: "What's going on?"
Lin Yu observed the surroundings and said, "It looks like some kind of trap has been triggered."
Ai Haibara calmly analyzed, "We must find an exit as soon as possible, or we might be buried alive here."
They began searching for a way out of the chaotic basement, with stones constantly falling from above.
With his keen observation skills, Conan discovered a hidden door in one of the walls.
"Quick, this way!" He led everyone towards the hidden door.
However, when they approached the hidden door, they found that the entrance was blocked by an iron fence.
"Damn it!" Lin Yu tried to open the iron fence with tools, but time was running out, and the stones falling from above were becoming more and more dense.
Just when everyone was feeling hopeless, Conan discovered a keyhole in the iron fence.
"Perhaps we can find the key to open this door."
They started looking around for the key and finally found a box in a corner.
Conan opened the box, and sure enough, there was a key inside.
They quickly used the key to open the iron gate and rushed through the hidden door.
Behind the hidden door was a narrow passage filled with thick dust.
"Everyone, cover your mouths and noses, and proceed carefully," Conan warned.
The passage was very dark, and they could only grope their way forward along the walls.
Suddenly, a deep roar came from ahead.
"What's that sound?" Ran Mouri stopped in her tracks, startled.
Conan raised his flashlight and saw a huge monster rushing towards them.
"Run!"
They fled desperately through the tunnel, with the monster in hot pursuit.
As Lin Yu ran, he took a weapon out of his backpack, turned around, and fired at the monster.
The monster paused briefly after being hit, but quickly resumed its pursuit.
"This won't work, we have to find a way to defeat it!" Conan said.
Ai Haibara observed the monster's movements and said, "Its eyes seem to be its weak point."
Conan understood immediately, picked up a stone from the ground, and threw it at the monster's eye.
The monster was struck in the eye by a stone and roared in pain.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Lin Yu launched another attack and finally defeated the monster.
They continued running forward and finally saw the exit of the passage.
When they emerged from the passage, they found themselves in the castle gardens.
"We finally escaped." Ran Mouri breathed a sigh of relief.
But they knew that the secrets of the castle had not yet been fully revealed.
Just then, the mysterious woman reappeared.
“You actually managed to escape from the basement, but this is just the beginning,” the woman said.
Conan stepped forward and asked, "Who are you? Why are you helping us?"
The woman paused for a moment, then said, "My name is Emily, and I am the daughter of the castle's owner. I know that the curse in the castle was deliberately created by someone to obtain the treasure."
"Then why didn't you tell us sooner?" Lin Yu asked.
Emily said helplessly, "Because I've also been under surveillance, I only have the opportunity to contact you now."
Conan thought for a moment and then said, "Do you know where the treasure is?"
Emily shook her head: "I don't know, but I know someone who might know."
"who?"
"The castle's butler."
Conan and his friends decide to find the butler, but in the process, they encounter various dangers and obstacles...
