The abandoned building was rusty, with thick dust and peeling paint on the ground. Although it was daytime, it was very cold inside. The stairs here were very old iron stairs, and they were now rusted beyond recognition.

"Honestly, this feels like a horror movie right now," you complained, hesitating whether to step down from the stairs - because the stairs look like they could collapse at any time.

Bai Ma checked his pocket watch and said, "16 minutes and 3.21 seconds have passed. If I want to go down, I have to take the stairs."

"Well, there is really no other way." You just glanced at the window, and outside was a very desolate factory building, about 5-6 stories high. It would be safer to take the stairs than jumping off the building or climbing out the window.

The second before you stepped onto the stairs, Bai Batan suddenly grabbed you, and your surprise was swallowed back when you saw him raising a finger.

From the bottom of the stairs came the "thump, thump" sound of people walking up step by step, as if stepping on people's hearts.

"!" There is no way outsiders could come to a place like this!

“…” You and Bai Matan looked at each other and saw the solemnity in each other’s eyes.

Is the mysterious kidnapper about to show up?

You quietly moved to the back of the corridor door and hid your bodies against the wall.

The sound came from far away and got closer. The "tick, tick" sound was regular and steady. I could tell that the other person was walking steadily. Was he thinking about something?

With a thin blade between your fingers, you raise your hand slightly, ready to explode.

After the sound of footsteps on the stairs disappears, you count to three seconds silently. The moment you catch a glimpse of trousers in your peripheral vision, you quickly move to the side, raise your foot and sweep sideways, then grab the opponent's right arm with your left hand, and hold the blade with your right hand to the opponent's neck!

Everything happened in a flash!

"Hei Yu?!" Bai Ma Tan's exclamation came from the side.

At this moment, you can also see clearly the angry boy next to you. His expression is a little dazed, but his left hand is behind his back.

"Boss?"

You pulled your hand back: "Kuaidou?? Why are you here?"

"Well..." He shook his head, "Because I received a very strange letter." His left arm was hanging naturally at this moment, and his hand was empty, but you could guess that when he put his hands behind his back, he must have had his poker gun in his hand.

"Faith? What faith?"

"Ah... Let me find Kidd, where can I find Kidd for him, really." Hei Yu was fighting with dead fish eyes, "Because I couldn't find Hakuba and you, I blindly guessed that you two were kidnapped, so I had no choice but to come here in person."

"Didn't you call the police?" You narrowed your eyes, "Or... no one called the police?" Logically speaking, the driver should have called the police!

"The letter said not to tell anyone, but I was worried about your safety, so I didn't tell anyone." Hei Yu Kuai Dou replied, "By the way, Boss, you're pretty good at fighting," he said with a smile.

"Yes," you said without disguising it, "after all, the ancient books in the bookstore are still very valuable. So I have to practice to protect them."

The White Horse Detective, who had been deep in thought, said, "Since no one called the police, something must have happened to the driver, or... there is something wrong."

"Let's get out of here first anyway. We'll deal with the rest after we get out." You urged and walked ahead.

Bai Ma took a step forward and whispered to Kuai Dou as he passed by him: "Be careful, the person who caused the accident on the stage and gave you the letter should be the same person, and he probably wants to kill you, Kidd."

Kaito blinked and said, "What does the matter of the thief Kid have to do with me, Kuroba Kaito?"

"..." Bai Ma glanced at him and smiled again, "However, it's good that you are willing to come here."

"——Kids, where are you going?" A voice suddenly came from the staircase, and you, who were walking in front, immediately stopped.

"!!" Kaito and Hakuba instinctively took two steps back.

The next second, a red shadow attacks you again with a sound of breaking air. The whip passes over you and grabs Bai Ma and Kuai Dou, tying them both back to back!

"Hello!"

“Damn it!”

Finally, a short, broad man with many dark brown spots on his skin came out from the stairwell. He held the long red whip in his hand. "Huh? It seems like one is missing?"

It's the driver! Bai Matan's eyes flashed with surprise, then returned to seriousness. Sure enough, there was something wrong with the driver!

"..." You still stood there steadily without moving, and the other person's eyes swept over you but did not stop.

...What's going on? Can't the other person see you? For a moment, you thought you had broken through the dimensional wall.

"Forget it, just run away. The most important prey is right here." The short and fat man muttered, his eyes fixed on Kaito. "You are really amazing, Kidd. No one would have thought you were a child."

"What the hell are you talking about! I'm not! You kidnapped the wrong person!" Kuaidou said with a roll of his eyes.

"Haha, don't worry. I won't tell this secret to anyone until I succeed, so now only I know it." The short and fat man bowed in a formal manner. "Let me introduce myself. I'm Black Spotted Frog. Nice to meet you, Thief Kidd."

He walked towards Kuaidou and Hakuba, passing you and standing behind you. Now he had his back to you, and you turned your heels slowly and carefully, turning around to look at Hakuba and Kuaidou.

Bai Matan looked thoughtful. He looked into your eyes and then shook his head slightly, as if telling you not to act impulsively.

"..." Good, they can still see me. It seems that they haven't broken through the dimensional wall. You twitched your lips.

That is the problem of the so-called black-spotted frog.

Kuaidou also knew about this situation, so he started to stall for time to give you more time to think: "Hey? Black-spotted frog? Uncle, why did you use an animal name?"

"Hey, Thief Kidd, you've been fighting against us for so long, you must know this, right? This is the code name." The black-spotted frog didn't seem to be in a hurry, and looked leisurely.

"You are amazing," Hakuba Tanya said with a smile, "I have been kidnapped for a whole day but I don't feel hungry or thirsty. It's really amazing."

"That's because I used the Hibernation skill on you." The black-spotted frog said proudly, "All your metabolism has dropped to the lowest level, so naturally you won't feel anything in just one day."

You: To be honest, it feels quite practical.

"Then what are you going to do with us?" Bai Ma asked with his head down.

"Of course we took a group photo and then killed it." Black-spotted frog took out a digital camera from his backpack. "There are some chemical reagents hidden in the abandoned employee building of the chemical plant that have not been cleaned up. It's not surprising that they suddenly exploded and caught fire in the summer."

"..." Another explosion. You complained silently in your heart. It seems that the other party has hidden some □□ or something in this building to create an accident.

"But Kidd, you can't look like this. I don't want to take a picture with you who looks like a high school student." The black-spotted frog raised his hand holding the camera and then put it down again.

"I'm a high school student!" Kaito shouted.

"Hurry up and become Kidd," he took out a sharp dagger, "or I will kill your friends." He looked at the white horse detective.

At the moment the black-spotted frog took a step forward, you kicked his wrist joint, but he never expected that his hand would loosen, and the dagger drew an arc in the air and then fell to the ground with a clang.

Then you sweep towards his calf, clamp his right elbow and force him to release his hand holding the whip. As soon as the whip is out of his hand, the magical restraint disappears, and the white horse and Kuai Dou are immediately freed.

"Ah! It's the kid who ran away! You haven't run away yet?" The black-spotted frog didn't seem nervous. He tried to grab you with his backhand, but you dodged it flexibly.

"Don't move!" You stepped back a few steps and shouted, stopping the white horse and the quick fight.

Bai Ma leaned against the wall: "Yeah, I also noticed that this guy seems to only be able to see moving things."

"Ha, no wonder." Kaidou also stood still, "Frogs can only see moving prey... That's why they are called black-spotted frogs?"

"Oh," the black-spotted frog grabbed the red whip back into his hand, "Very smart, kids, but...how long can you hold on?"

"..." Staying still was not a long-term solution, and the opponent could easily swing the whip across the narrow corridor and would definitely catch them - but the opponent seemed to want to play more, so they stood there and waited for them to move.

One of them has to go first... so that we can get help. Kuaidou thought. This guy's target is him. If he can lead him away, he can buy them some time.

With strength building up under his feet, Kuaidou quickly jumped to the other side when the black-spotted frog moved its neck: "I'll go first~"

"Oh my, is the thief Kid going to run away?" The black-spotted frog shook his wrist and swung out a long whip. Kuai Dou quickly pulled the corridor door to block the tail of the whip and also blocked his sight.

"A game of pursuit? You are really a kid." Black-spotted Frog put away his long whip and chased after him. White Horse was stunned for a moment and then wanted to follow to help, but you grabbed him: "You go to the other side, I'll go to help Kuaidou!"

"What?"

"Take this opportunity to run to the safe staircase on the other side, go to where there is a signal, and call the police!" you said quickly.

"Why is it..."

"Because I'm better than you!" You looked him straight in the eye, "...at least in the field of fighting the enemy, young master, I'm better than you."

——So, I'll go help and you go.

“…” His reddish-brown eyes stared at you for a moment, “…Okay.”

"Then I'll leave the rest to you," you patted his shoulder and smiled, "Your mission is more important."

"Ah..." He lowered his head slightly, looked back one last time, and then quickly and decisively retreated to the other side.

——I hope I didn't destroy the young master's self-confidence. You touched the Glock that you had been hiding in your arms, removed the safety and kept it on, ready to run after the two of them at the staircase entrance.

The author has something to say:

It's a pity that the young master's Watson (Eagle) is not here, otherwise it would be much more convenient (dog head)

Black-spotted frog: Can only see moving prey and prey tied up with a whip
