Chapter 163: False Death

…

Time passed by little by little. In this Poseidon's wish-making ceremony full of conspiracy and danger, everyone was running for their own goals.

Conan Edogawa and Ai Haibara are trying to prevent the tragedy from happening;

Bermode is trying to get more insider information from the FBI;

Yakasumi is following Miyagawa Ryo's instructions and preparing for the celebration;

The so-called "supervisors of the morality of the witches" are also preparing their actions.

Compared to these people, Miyagawa Ling sat on the floor of the secret room, with his head lowered, his wrists, ankles and neck tied tightly, like a real prisoner.

However, only he himself knew that although he looked like he was sitting there waiting to die, he actually had the entire situation firmly under his control.

"They have gone deep into the secret passage, which is quite remote. The supervisors have gone to the celebration and cannot find them for the time being." Morofushi Kagemitsu followed Edogawa and Conan, reporting the situation to Miyagawa Ryo at any time.

"Yage Cheng has already arranged the scene according to your request without any other tampering." Another ghost reported.

"The FBI has put Bermode under guard. She is trying to escape and has not had the chance to report her current situation to the organization."

There was darkness in front of Miyagawa Ling's eyes and he could not see anything.

He said to the darkness: "Thank you for your hard work."

Next, Conan will go to discover the truth about the wish coming true on Halai Island - it is estimated that Xiu will not easily tell him too much about the organization, so his own participation is particularly important.

This game, which is slightly related to the organization, is just the right level for Conan.

Firstly, to experience it personally, secondly, to let Xiu see his ability, and thirdly, to reveal some information to him.

"Where's Akai Shuichi?" Miyagawa Ling asked.

There is only one person left outside the chess game.

"He didn't fall into the trap. He is now hiding in the secret passage, mobilizing FBI personnel to go to the temple."

Miyagawa Ling understood that Akai Shuichi did this more for him.

It seems that he will have to be more careful after stealing the corpse.

"Akai Shuichi said," The person who reported the incident didn't know much about the relationship between Miyagawa Rei and Akai Shuichi, so unlike Morobushi Kagemitsu, he spoke simply and directly: "We will catch you at all costs. The FBI asked if they could kill you in an emergency, and Akai Shuichi said yes."

Miyakawa Ling was already aware of this: "Yeah."

But it doesn't matter, he will die first and disrupt the FBI's plan.

Miyakawa Ling sat in the dungeon for a while and faintly heard a slight noise coming from above, which meant that the celebration had begun.

Soon someone came in from outside and grabbed Miyakawa Ling and walked out.

Miyakawa Ling asked: "How much money do you want? I can use money to buy my life."

The man who held him asked, "How much can you afford?"

"Enough money to buy the entire Highland Island."

The man laughed loudly, and two seconds later, his face turned cold: "If you keep talking nonsense to me, I will pull out your tongue now."

Miyagawa Ling muttered nonchalantly, "I didn't lie," while looking around.

At a certain moment, he suddenly kicked the man away and turned to run another way.

…

On the other hand, Shuichi Akai arranged the work for the FBI.

Just as the ghost had told Miyakawa Ling, his plan was to capture Miyakawa Ling.

Now that Bermode's disguised plan has been discovered, there is nothing to worry about for the time being; and it seems that the only code-named members of the organization who came to the island are the two of them.

This is a good opportunity to take down Miyagawa Ryo... no, Magno.

At present, Shuichi Akai has not paid much attention to Conan Edogawa who is traveling with Ai Haibara. He has a lot of thoughts at the moment, but the strongest one is "catch Magno".

Shuichi Akai no longer wanted to have a chat with Miyagawa Reitai because he knew that was impossible.

So everything else is not that important, as long as... we stop Miyakawa Ryo from becoming Magno.

Catch him, lock him up, and everything else will come later.

Shuichi Akai groped his way forward according to the simple route he learned from Conan Edogawa, and everyone he met along the way was knocked unconscious by him.

The ghost following him was always ready to tell Miyakawa Ryo about his actions.

But so far, there is nothing much to say.

The ghost followed Shuichi Akai and dived for a while, and suddenly saw Shuichi Akai take out his cell phone.

Just as he was about to see what the content was, Akai Shuichi put down his phone and...

Start running fast!

Wait?! The ghost quickly followed and reported: "Akai Shuichi received a text message and went east... no, he turned to the north... his whereabouts are unknown!"

Soon, he knew where Shuichi Akai had gone.

——He left the secret passage from his hidden position and returned to the temple.

…

The young man turned and ran in another direction.

"You bastard!" the man cursed and stood up to pull out his gun.

"Bang!"

In his sight, the black-haired young man fell to the ground in order to avoid the gun. As a result, he hit some mechanism and the piece of land became a slope, and he fell directly into a pit on the side.

This secret passage took a long time to build. Not everyone is familiar with the mechanisms and roads inside, but most of the traps are very clear.

For example, the man now knows very well what the pit is used for.

After being stunned for a moment, he was no longer in a hurry to shoot. He just walked forward and watched the show.

"Bang!" The black-haired young man rolled to the bottom, and the flat ground made a crackling sound due to the impact.

The next second, ten half-meter-long sharp spikes suddenly rose from the groove in the ground!

The young man had no chance to resist before his body was pierced!

The man looked at the bloody scene, and just as a smile appeared on his face, he saw the entire platform suddenly rise up!

"Oh shit!" He panicked immediately and forgot this was happening!

Inside the temple, the priestess stood on a high platform, looking down at everyone. Her pure white robes swayed with her dance moves, and the red ropes seemed like little living people, speaking something.

As the music played, the priestess's singing voice spread throughout the temple.

The believers who came to participate were kneeling below, and each of them looked extremely excited.

Right at this moment!

Behind the platform, some mechanism was activated. With the crowd's screams, a man was lifted into the air by a long sharp spike, and blood flowed along the spike to the ground.

"Ah!!" Screams rang out from everywhere.

The dancing witch stopped, and the black-robed supervisors beside her all looked back.

The man with the severed finger reacted the fastest and gave Yakasumi a look.

Yakasumi nodded slightly, then pretended to be surprised, knelt on the ground, and continued the dancing movements with his hands, as if he was accepting the will of heaven.

Each of these movements shows elements of performance, just like everything that happened just now was a planned performance.

The other supervisors received the order and pretended that this was part of the celebration program. They ran to check the situation and shut down the equipment.

The people below may not be able to see the specific details above, but anyone on the platform can see his face clearly if they lower their heads slightly - the person killed by the trap is the one they captured earlier and kept as a sacrifice!

The young man was lying on his back, his body was pierced with bloody holes, his bound hands were hanging down, and his face was as pale as paper. No matter how you looked at him, it seemed that he was not going to survive even if he was not dead.

There was no time for a detailed inspection, and someone turned off the device with sweat on his brow, allowing the bloody man to fall into the ground and disappear from everyone's sight.

"The sea god punishes sins..." Yakasumi sang this line.

Although the people below were confused just now, after hearing the lyrics and seeing that everyone - especially the police standing on both sides of the platform to maintain order - had normal expressions, they believed that this was a show effect, specially designed to alert certain bad people.

Little did they know that those policemen were birds of a feather.

Only Kogoro Maori frowned, feeling something was wrong.

He was not located below the platform but inside a building on the side, so he could see it more clearly.

The person cooperating with the performance... looked familiar, and had ropes tied around his body.

"Is that really a show effect..." Maori Kogoro tilted his head: "Xiaolan, if those two little brats run around like this, if something happens... eh? Xiaolan?"

He saw that the person beside him was not his daughter at all, but a strange man.

He didn't know when he appeared there, and his expression was very terrifying.

Maori Kogoro was stunned. Seeing him like this, he was about to say something when he saw the man turn around and run into the temple! His pace was very fast, but compared to the agile leopard, it was more like a small prey on the verge of death... running for its life!

It seemed that if it was a second later, something terribly terrible would happen.

Maori Kogoro frowned, "Isn't there really anything wrong..."

…

Shuichi Akai returned to the secret passage as quickly as possible.

He seemed to have returned to the day when he looked through the sniper scope and saw Miyagawa Ryo covered in blood.

Shuichi Akai grabbed a random person, pointed a gun at him, and asked him to take him to the bottom of the platform mechanism.

He no longer cared whether he would be exposed or not.

“Bang, bang, bang!”

Those caught by Shuichi Akai watched in horror as this man advanced recklessly on their territory.

He didn't dare to have any other thoughts and pointed out the right path, allowing Shuichi Akai to reach the original location of the mechanism as quickly as possible.

However, there is only a deep black hole now, and all the institutions and people are gone.

"What's going on? Where is the person just now?" Akai Shuichi shot the man one by one.

His voice was as cold as ice. The man didn't even dare to make a sound. He endured the pain and said, "This mechanism...maybe it's too old. Something went wrong with the parts inside and they fell down."

...This is even more terrifying than before.

Akai Shuichi kicked the man several meters away, walked to the side of the machine and looked down.

It was too deep and too dark. I could only vaguely see a dark shadow below, and I couldn't even tell whether it was a human.

But the smell of blood still lingered in the air.

Intellectually, Shuichi Akai didn't believe what he saw.

But reason could no longer control his body.

Shuichi Akai turned on his cell phone and took a picture downwards.

Then, with this faint light, he saw a scene that looked like hell.

The sharp spikes pierced through the young man's body like a monster's fangs. His hands were still tied and his neck was tied with a black rope. He could only use the spikes as a support point and stood silently and powerlessly in mid-air.

Blood was flowing everywhere, a deep red color, and was still dripping onto the ground along the young man's fingertips.

The blood in Shuichi Akai's body froze.

Even an ordinary person, seeing this scene, would know that this person is going to die.

Not to mention Akai Shuichi.

The first time he saw the young man, his instinct, which he had trained over a long period of time, told him that the young man was dead.

...already, dead.

The gun in his hand slipped down and then was grasped tightly again.
