"Brother, they are chasing us again!"

"These guys are really hot on our trails!"

Hearing Tilia's voice, Fang Zheng rolled his eyes helplessly. Although they could always be faster than the guys behind them with the help of the chains, the other side relied on their numbers and completely caught up with them. But fortunately... the exit was right in front of them!

Fang Zheng rushed through the alley holding Tilia in his arms. Then he turned his head and looked forward, and soon saw the transmission channel he came from.

Here it is!

Looking at the portal in front of him, Fang Zheng hugged Tilia tightly, then a light flashed in his eyes, and the next moment Fang Zheng suddenly raised his hand and cast a force field shield for himself and Tilia.

"boom!!"

Almost at the moment when the magic light was released from Fang Zheng's fingers, the tightly closed water well covers on the roads on both sides of the portal suddenly flew up, and two thick water jets were seen spinning and spraying towards Fang Zheng and Tilia. At the same time, the light of the force field shield appeared in front of the two of them, helping them to resist this almost unavoidable attack. Then Fang Zheng stretched out his foot and stepped on the ground, and the next moment he entered the dark portal.

At the same time, the voice sounded again.

"Don't think that this is the end... This is just the beginning, little thief! I will make you pay a price you can't imagine!!"

“Go!!”

Fang Zheng rushed out of the portal, and seeing him appear, Nymph quickly loosened her hands, and then the black square portal disappeared instantly. At the same time, Fang Zheng also pulled Nymph, and then rushed to the Black Crow without looking back. Nymph no longer concealed it at this moment. Although she didn't know what happened, she quickly spread her wings and followed Fang Zheng's side, moving quickly towards the port.

Soon, they saw the Black Crow anchored in the port. Fang Zheng, Tilia and Nymph hurried back to the ship without stopping. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief only when their feet stepped onto the deck.

"My Lord, what happened?"

"It's a bit troublesome, but not too troublesome for now."

Fang Zheng glanced at the still collapsing Soul Bay behind him. To be honest, he still didn't know the name of the mastermind he encountered, where he was, and who he was. He also didn't know whether the unlucky guy would die after the space and projection plane merged. But Fang Zheng felt that the other party would not die so easily. After all, the guy even had the time to try to sneak attack him. In addition, since the other party was capable of such a big move, he would not go too far and kill himself.

But anyway... since the mission has been completed, then it is best to escape first! The things are already in hand, and the false half-plane space has begun to collapse. There is nothing left for me to do.

"Has the Black Crow been repaired?"

"Not yet. The crew has done their best, but it will take some time..."

Hearing Fang Zheng's question, Captain Fox hurriedly answered, but what no one expected was that at this moment, suddenly, a scream rang out.

"Ah—what are you doing?"

Hearing the scream, everyone turned their heads to look at the place where the sound came from. They saw Oglan holding her waist and staring at the man in fancy clothes standing not far behind her with a pale face. Blood could be seen seeping from her hands and dripping onto the ground.

Behind Oglan, her cousin, the man in fancy clothes, had a sneer on his face and a dagger tightly grasped in his hand. Judging from the bloodstains on the dagger, Kindaichi knew who the criminal was without having to look for Conan.

"You, what do you mean?"

Oglan looked at her cousin in surprise, not understanding what was going on. She had to know that she was lucky to dodge the attack just now - that was when Fang Zheng and the others returned to the boat. At that time, seeing the three people who finally returned, Oglan was furious. She even wanted to go over and remind Fang Zheng not to take such risky things all the time, after all, the people on the boat were counting on them!

At that time, Oglan suddenly had an idea and subconsciously wanted to turn around and complain to her cousin. Unexpectedly, she turned around and avoided the attack that was supposed to stab her body, so the dagger of the man in fancy clothes just passed by her. But even so, it scratched Oglan's waist.

But Oglen obviously didn't care about her injury. She looked at her cousin behind her in shock, not understanding why he attacked her. What on earth did he want to do?

"What on earth do you want to do?"

“Go to hell!”

Facing Oglen's question, the man in fancy clothes obviously did not intend to answer. Since he had been exposed, he naturally stopped pretending. He roared and rushed forward again with the dagger raised. But this time, of course, he did not succeed. Because at this moment, Hecate, who was standing next to him, suddenly stretched out her hand. She blocked the second attack of the man in fancy clothes with her long triangular staff, and then swept him away with the staff. The unlucky guy rolled on the deck like a ball for several times before hitting the railing and stopping. As for the dagger in his hand, it naturally fell to the side.

"Catch him!"

Seeing this scene, other people also reacted. Soon, two guards from the Platinum Family roared and rushed forward, pinning the man in fancy clothes tightly, destroying his attempt to get up and attack with a knife again.

"What's wrong with you? Why are you trying to kill me?"

"Hehe, my dear cousin..."

Hearing Oglan's question, the man in fancy clothes sneered.

"To be honest, I have never liked you very much, but I have to admit that you are really lucky. Twice, my plans failed twice in a row. I never expected that. It seems that the nickname your family gave you, 'The Platinum Star that Brings Luck', is not for nothing."

"Twice? What do you mean? Wait, do those pirates before..."

Hearing this, Oglan's expression suddenly changed, while the man in fancy clothes smiled.

"Yes, they are the subordinates of the master I serve. Originally, I should have followed his orders and brought you back for sacrifice. The master hopes to obtain your soul, cousin, and it is your honor. But I didn't expect that such a smooth plan would be ruined by... these people."

Having said this, the man in fancy clothes looked at Fang Zheng and the others with a complicated expression. But for Oglan, she was more concerned about another meaning behind these words.

"Master? You joined the cult? You became a cultist? How could you do this? What about the honor of the Platinum Family? As a member of the Platinum Family, you actually fell to the point of associating with cultists?"

"So what!?"

However, just as Oglan finished speaking, he was interrupted by the man in fancy clothes. He stared at Oglan fiercely, and his face, which usually always had a smile, now revealed an extremely ferocious anger.

"I have always been regarded as a waste in the family. I can only follow behind you, my cousin. I have had enough! The family is unwilling to acknowledge my ability, so I will let them see with their own eyes the power I possess! You are unwilling to give me a chance and just wantonly mock me. But now it is different. I want to let you know that I am not an incompetent waste!"

"No, you're just an incompetent piece of shit!"

But what was unexpected was that upon hearing this, Oglan, who had just been quietly receiving treatment from Kulia, immediately retorted. She raised her chin slightly and looked at her cousin with contempt.

"When faced with difficulties, you don't overcome them, you don't prove yourself, you just run away! What are cultists? They are a group of incompetent people who are unwilling to accept the fact that they are just stupid idiots. They have no choice but to escape and crawl at the feet of those evil beings to pray for power to satisfy themselves with illusory power! Just like you now, you can't face it, and you don't try to fight. You just let yourself fall... You have lost the face of the Platinum Family! When I return home, I will definitely ask my father to revoke your name and expel everything you have from the family!"

Wow, sister, your hatred is too great.

Hearing this, even Fang Zheng looked at Oglan in surprise. He had to admit that Oglan's words still sounded somewhat reasonable, but... Don't hit someone in the face, sister, you have directly attracted the hatred of the cultists all over the world!

Sure enough, after hearing Oglan's answer, the man in gorgeous clothes almost exploded. He glared at Oglan fiercely and then spoke.

"In that case, I will let you experience the powerful force for yourself. I call upon you in the name of my Lord, Lord of the Sea of ​​Death, to destroy the enemies that stand in my way!"

"boom!!"

As soon as he finished speaking, green flames suddenly erupted from the body of the man in gorgeous clothes, knocking the two guards who had been suppressing him to the side. The flames instantly turned the man's body into ashes, and then dived into the sea beside him like a snake.

And then, the surrounding oceans began to roar and boil at this moment!

Soon, a voice that sounded quite familiar to Fang Zheng appeared in his ears again.

"I told you, you can't get away, little thief!!"
