The moment the treasure chest was opened, the light it emitted made Conan and the others squint. Only as the light gradually faded did they see the treasure inside.
It was a crystal that emitted a strange light, and there seemed to be countless streams of light shimmering inside the crystal.
"What is this?" Ran Mouri asked curiously as she leaned closer to examine it.
Conan frowned, pondering, and said, "This doesn't look like an ordinary crystal; perhaps it possesses special power."
Lin Yu reached out to touch it, but Ai Haibara stopped him in time: "Be careful, we don't know what it's for yet."
Just then, the cave began to shake violently, and rocks kept falling from above.
"Oh no, this place is going to collapse!" Conan shouted.
They hurriedly picked up the treasure chest and ran towards the exit.
Along the way, more and more rocks fell, and the road became more rugged and difficult to travel.
Ran Mouri stumbled and fell to the ground.
"Ran-neechan!" Conan turned around and pulled her up.
Lin Yu led the way, clearing away the rocks blocking the path with his tools.
Finally, they saw a light ahead; it was the exit.
Just as they were about to escape the cave, a huge boulder crashed down, blocking their path.
"Everyone, push it away!" Conan shouted.
With everyone working together and exerting all their strength, the stone was finally slowly pushed aside.
They rushed out of the cave, which then collapsed completely behind them.
"That was close!" Ran Mouri gasped for breath.
However, before they could even catch their breath, the mysterious man from before appeared before them with a group of his men.
"Hand over the treasure!" the mysterious man said menacingly.
Conan clutched the treasure chest tightly and said, "Don't even think about it!"
The mysterious man waved his hand, and his men rushed forward.
Conan and his friends engaged in a fierce battle with them.
Ran Mouri's karate skills once again proved effective, knocking several enemies to the ground.
Lin Yu used high-tech equipment to release electric shocks, making it difficult for enemies to approach.
Conan and Ai Haibara skillfully evaded the enemy's attacks and looked for opportunities to counterattack.
However, the enemy outnumbered them, and they gradually found themselves in a predicament.
Just then, the police arrived in time.
"Don't move, police!"
Seeing that things were not going well, the mysterious man tried to escape, but was quickly subdued by the police.
"Thank you, officers," Conan said.
The police took the mysterious man and his men away, while Conan and the others returned to the castle with the treasure chest.
After a long period of in-depth and meticulous research, they were surprised to discover that this seemingly ordinary crystal actually contained an amazing and mysterious power—the power of healing and purification! It was as if it were a precious gift from nature to mankind.
"Perhaps this is the real reason why this ancient castle has been coveted and coveted by various forces for so long." Ai Haibara gazed at the crystal with her intelligent and profound eyes and said softly, as if lost in thought.
To prevent this magical crystal from becoming another source of fierce conflict and bringing more chaos and disaster to the world, Conan, after careful consideration, resolutely made a crucial decision: he would personally entrust the crystal to an absolutely trustworthy and authoritative institution for safekeeping. Only in this way could the crystal's powerful energy be used properly and benefit humanity.
After overcoming numerous difficulties and successfully handling a series of complicated matters concerning the crystal, Conan and his companions felt a great sense of relief. Now, they finally had the opportunity to stop their hurried pace and allow their exhausted bodies and minds a rare moment of relaxation and rest.
However, just as everyone was immersed in the brief moment of peace and tranquility, the gears of fate had already quietly begun to turn. New, unknown challenges and thrilling adventures seemed to be lurking not far ahead, silently waiting for Conan and his friends to unveil the mystery...
