Chapter 718 The subject's consciousness has shifted.
Qianzhu reached out to hold onto a nearby tree, clutching her chest and breathing heavily.
Seeing that the group of men in black were catching up, Ran helped Chizuru up and checked on him, only to find that his face was extremely pale and he was sweating profusely.
"Qianzhu!"
Ran Mouri was extremely anxious. Seeing the men in black surrounding them again, she turned around and shielded Chizu behind her.
Judging from what the person wearing the silver snake mask said, their target was clearly Qianzhu. Although she didn't know who they were, Ran Mouri couldn't just let them take Qianzhu away like that.
A series of violent coughs came from Qianzhu's throat, and a warm, sweet, and metallic taste filled his mouth.
Qianzhu wiped away the flowing blood with her hand, then looked down at her palm. The viscous, scarlet liquid seemed to contain some small bits of debris.
Qianzhu clenched her fist, opened her mouth, and slowly took a breath before gently pressing down on Ran Mouri's shoulder with her other hand, which was free of blood.
"Qianzhu?" Ran Mouri, who was watching the man in black warily, turned to look at him.
Qianzhu didn't speak, but gently patted her shoulder before walking past her to stand in front of her. She smiled faintly at the silver snake masked woman and said, "Let her leave."
His tone didn't sound like he was negotiating with them.
However, Ran Mouri wasn't originally part of their plan, so the man in the silver snake mask waved his hand after thinking for two seconds.
Two men in black grabbed Ran Mouri's arms and pulled her out of the encirclement for three meters before pulling her back.
Ran Mouri didn't dare to make a move easily, because there was another man in black pointing a gun at Chizuku.
I'm afraid that if she makes a move, the other party will shoot without hesitation.
Even though the gun wasn't pointed at Qianzhu's vitals, Ran Mouri didn't dare to move.
After all, given Qianzhu's current condition, getting injured would not be a good thing.
Ran Mouri stood there, watching the man in black take Qianzhu away, her mind racing as she tried to think of a solution.
Qianzhu turned her head and gave her a pale but gentle smile. "You should go back first. Don't worry Uncle Maoli and the others."
Ran Mouri held her phone in her hand, thinking hard, but before she could make a decision, a sharp pain suddenly shot through her neck. Her pupils contracted slightly, and she collapsed to the ground.
Before she fainted, she seemed to see the person she had been longing for.
"New...1..."
"Xiao Lan!"
At this moment, Behefenck, who had removed Hattori Heiji's disguise and was now wearing Kudo Shinichi's face, nodded slightly in satisfaction as he saw that Mouri Ran seemed to have seen it, and then tore it off.
He helped Ran Mouri up, trying his best not to let her fall to the ground, and then took out his phone to call Conan after he finished with the others.
After seeing that Saijo Taiga and his disciples had been arrested, Conan looked relieved and exchanged a glance with Hattori Heiji. Then he received a call from Behefinger.
Conan blinked, not thinking for the moment how Behringer got his number, and directly pressed the answer button, "Behringer? What's up?"
"Conan! Ran is in trouble!" Behefinger's anxious voice came through the phone.
"What did you say!?"
Conan's tone instantly became urgent, "What happened? Where are you now!?"
"It's on Mount Kurama, but don't worry, Ran has just fainted."
Behrfinger calmly reassured him.
After hanging up the phone, Conan turned to Kogoro Mouri and asked, "Uncle, did you see Ran when you came up?"
"No," Kogoro Mori replied instinctively, then, recalling his earlier reaction, his expression turned serious. "Could something have happened to Ran?"
Conan had already run out of Yulong Temple, and the others immediately followed.
...
"Xiao Lan!"
"Sister Xiaolan!"
Worried shouts rang out, and Ran Mouri frowned, slowly opening her eyes to see her father and the faces of others.
"Xiao Lan, what happened? Why did you faint here?" Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they saw her wake up.
Ran Mouri paused for a moment, looked around, and realized she was still in the forest on Mount Kurama.
She suddenly sat up straight, grabbed Kogoro Mouri's hand, her face full of anxiety and guilt, "Dad! Chizuru has been taken away by a group of masked men in black!"
"What did you say!!?"
Behringer and Machi Kawakita dutifully portrayed the feeling of shock, while Conan, Kogoro Mouri, and the others were genuinely shocked and surprised.
"Oh right, I took a picture! It might be a little blurry..." Ran Mouri hurriedly took out her phone and pulled up a photo that, although blurry, showed the other person's features clearly.
Kogoro Mouri took the phone and examined it carefully. Suddenly, his pupils contracted. "This! Isn't this the guy who took the murderer away after the car accident on our way back from the art exhibition last time?!"
He couldn't be mistaken. Although the last one was a wolf mask, it seemed they were all in cahoots!
Kogoro Mouri's expression turned serious. "Ran, tell me in detail what happened to you."
Ran Mouri took a deep breath and carefully recounted what had happened.
When she mentioned that Qianzhu had voluntarily left with those masked men to protect her, she paused for two seconds before continuing.
As for the Shinichi Kudo she vaguely saw before she fainted, she didn't say anything, because the feeling was too unreal.
"Their target is Chizuku... but why?" Kogoro Mouri pondered.
Conan and Behringer, who knew that the masked man in black was a member of Death, exchanged a glance and both saw the seriousness in each other's eyes.
Conan wasn't entirely sure why they took Chizuka away, but based on Chizuka's reaction to the word "Death" last time, he guessed that Chizuka might have been one of their experimental subjects...
*
"Death" Experimental Base.
After bringing Chizuru to Hoshino Tsukasa, the masked man quietly left.
Hoshino Tsukasa smiled and bowed to Chitake before leading him to the laboratory inside the experimental base.
Inside the experiment, the young man with red curly hair who was sitting at the control table heard the noise, got up and walked over. He looked at Qianzhu and smiled at him, his eyes seeming as if he were looking at his dearest person.
After Hoshino Tsukasa left, Asa's expression changed, and she calmly reached out to catch the boy in front of her who had lost control and fallen.
The subject's consciousness was completely transferred into Asa's body.
Looking down at the pale but serene boy in her arms, Asa picked him up and carried him into the dark room inside the laboratory.
