"Aaaaaah!!"
The sharp, mournful screams continued unabated, and Guangyou did not wish for the sounds to cease.
This wasn't someone making noise on purpose; it wasn't part of the haunted house's arrangement. Someone actually encountered something.
Guangyou heard the excruciating pain in the screams. The louder the screams, the more intense the pain was, and it could even cause someone to faint from the pain.
But the smaller the size, the worse it is, because that would mean she couldn't endure the pain, and the result would likely be that she would completely lose her life and become a real corpse, sleeping forever.
Although Guangyou can kill someone without his heart skipping a beat, he is not the kind of person who treats innocent lives as worthless.
Moreover, after living under the same roof with Conan for so long, his behavioral norms have undergone some minor changes.
"Aha..."
The sound faded, but the thing Guangyou least wanted to happen was about to happen.
Fortunately, there were no forks in the passage, so Guangyou didn't waste too much time.
Following the sound, Guangyou arrived at the end of the passage. The passage was brightly lit by torches, but the room at the end was pitch black.
No, it wasn't dark at all. It was as if the raging flames of hell were burning in this space, the intense heat of which rolled and surged, revealing the general layout of the entire space to Guangyou.
There were several crosses in the flames, and on the cross in the very center, there seemed to be a figure swaying slightly.
"Damn it, we can't afford to waste any more time."
Guangyou didn't have time to find reinforcements. Seeing that the fire wasn't that big, he made a quick assessment, then took a deep breath and rushed towards the figure in the flames.
The temperature was very high, and Guangyou quickly felt a sense of heat and oppression when he entered the fire, but his current goal was still to save people.
He came to the side of the cross, and without having time to observe carefully, he quickly glanced at her to determine where she was bound. Ignoring the flames burning under the cross, he reached out to untie the ropes binding her legs.
The rope was very hot; you could even feel the pain just by touching it, but now was not the time to cry out in pain.
Because he was in the fire, Guangyou's forehead was covered with fine sweat. The glistening sweat slid down his cheeks and dripped onto the scorching ground with a "hissing" sound.
"Two more hands are needed."
Guangyou knew that he absolutely could not stay at the scene for even a second longer, whether for himself or for the woman in front of him, whose life or death he did not know. Staying for even a second longer would be dangerous.
Guangyou's height didn't allow him to untie the ropes binding her hands, but the cross was inanimate, while the person was alive.
Since we can't take the person with us right away, let's just take this cross. It's simple, straightforward, and perfect for the current situation.
Guangyou took a few steps back until he was close to the burning flames, then suddenly lunged forward, concentrating all his strength on his shoulders.
The next moment, his shoulder made contact with the cross, making a "thump" sound.
He rubbed his slightly sore shoulder, took a few steps back, and then once again charged towards the cross with his shoulder.
The wooden cross had become somewhat fragile from the scorching flames, and Guangyou's two powerful impacts completely broke it.
"Click"
With a sharp crack, the cross broke in the middle and fell to the ground with a loud thud.
Without time to rest, Guangyou rushed forward, bent down, grabbed her legs, and dragged her to a safe place.
He bent down while dragging it, trying to avoid contact with the hottest outer flame, and covered his nose with his clothes to make himself safer.
"Guangyou!"
After reporting the incident to the police, Ai Haibara followed and saw the familiar figure amidst the flames. A deep sense of worry crossed her brows.
But her reason told her that she absolutely could not get close to him now, as doing so would only cause him trouble.
All she could do now was wait for him to come out, her eyes reflecting the flames, her teeth biting her lower lip, her fists clenched so tightly they were turning white.
"Huff... huff..."
With the cross dragging him, Guangyou finally emerged from the fire. Once he reached a safe area, he immediately collapsed to the ground and began to roll around.
The floor outside the room was still cold. Although alternating between hot and cold is bad for the body, it was the only way he could find to relieve the pain for the time being.
The effect was quite good. Guangyou's tightly furrowed brows slowly relaxed. He opened his eyes, glanced in the direction of the woman, and then smiled slightly.
After seeing that Kousuke had come out safely, Ai quickly glanced at him to make sure he was alright. Then she went to the woman's side, knelt down, and began to perform first aid.
She knew that Guangyou must have had his reasons for risking his life to rescue this person, and since that was the case, she couldn't let Guangyou's efforts go to waste.
After lying on the ground for a while, Kōyū got up and walked to Ai's side. He squatted down, looked at the woman, reached out and checked her nose. He breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Thank goodness, she's still alive, but her breath is too weak."
The woman's breath was so faint that, without careful observation, one would definitely think she was dead.
"What happened?"
At this moment, a group of people ran to the side in a daze. When they saw the woman lying on the ground, some of the women started to scream, and even some of the men took a few steps back, terrified.
Interestingly, this group of people all had exaggerated makeup on their faces. Some were disfigured witches, some were werewolves with their hoods removed, and some were even disguised as giant toads.
