Chapter 860 The main focus is Asti
As they were talking, Conan noticed someone heading straight towards Gaius's location.
His attention immediately and quietly fell over there.
Before the man approached Gaius, another couple sat down on the sofa next to him and chatted with him with smiles.
Upon seeing this, the man stopped abruptly and turned to walk in another direction.
Conan's gaze lingered on him for a moment, then glanced at Gaius and the others before being drawn away by Ran Mouri's call.
After considering it for a moment, Liu Qingyao stepped forward and followed beside them.
At the same time, a figure draped in a black cloak, seemingly blending into the night, quietly appeared outside the Krya Villa.
He looked up at the brightly lit villa and drifted inside like a wandering soul.
Standing some distance from the residence, Asti turned his head and glanced around, his gaze lingering briefly at the two o'clock position before he strode towards it.
Before he even got there, a sharp dart flew past and embedded itself straight into the wall.
The next second, a cold light flashed by, and Amuro Tooru instinctively dodged it!
Before he could react, the other party threw another dagger at him.
He knew who was in front of him, so he only planned to defend, not attack.
Of course, as a puppet whose thoughts were controlled by Bertrand, Asti didn't know what patience was and only wanted to get rid of the person in front of her.
The two faced off for several minutes. Just as Asti was about to stab with his dagger, he suddenly stopped, his hand frozen in mid-air, gripping the dagger.
Two seconds later, he sheathed his dagger, turned around, and quickly headed towards the main residence of the villa.
Amuro Tooru, still standing there, let out a breath and looked up in the direction Asti had left, but he could no longer see him.
He glanced at the dark sky and felt a strange sense of unease, even a feeling of unease.
When Asti arrived at the main house, the previously harmonious and joyful atmosphere suddenly turned into chaos.
The crystal chandelier above the banquet hall suddenly fell down for some unknown reason. Although no one was hit, the flying shards of glass injured several guests nearby.
Originally, it was thought that the accident would be over after the scene was cleaned up, but unexpectedly, the surrounding window glass also shattered without warning, directly injuring the eyes of a man standing by the window.
Fortunately, medical personnel were stationed at the villa, and the injured were all taken there for treatment.
Kita Aya Takumi gasped, "Is the renovation of this villa so fragile!?"
Kita Aya Haruhi rolled her eyes at him, "It's obvious someone's messing with us, okay?"
Takumi Kita chuckled and scratched his head. "That's true, but it's better to arrange security first."
"The banquet is suspended. All distinguished guests will be moved to other rooms to rest."
Kita Aya Takumi went to talk to the security guards, while Kita Aya Haruri called the servants and asked them to move the guests to other locations.
Apart from the banquet hall, there was no other place in the building that could accommodate so many people, so they were separated into groups.
The scene was somewhat chaotic. By the time Yukiko Kudo, who was mixed in with the guests, realized what was happening, Gaius and the others had already disappeared.
She gently patted her forehead, then had no choice but to leave with her husband.
In another unlit room, Gaius sat in a wheelchair, his back to the door and his face to the window, gazing wistfully at the scenery outside.
"Come out. I know you snuck into the banquet to find me."
After he finished speaking, he turned around in his wheelchair and looked at the man who had appeared in the room.
Gaius smiled, and before he could speak, he spoke first, "You came to me to know about Pramia, or to know about Death?"
"If I ask, are you sure you'll tell me?" the other person countered with a question instead of an answer.
"Of course not."
Gaius tapped his fingertips on the armrests of his wheelchair, making a series of sounds. He seemed not to think that the other party could do anything to him, even though he was just a frail old man sitting in a wheelchair.
"you......"
As soon as Morofushi Kagemitsu uttered a sound, the window behind Gaius suddenly shattered, and a figure shrouded in black jumped in through the broken window.
However, the next second, the surroundings suddenly plunged into darkness.
The sounds of fright coming from other places also reached their ears.
Morofushi Kagemitsu suddenly felt a moment of confusion. When he came to his senses, he quickly turned on his flashlight. When he looked in front of him, all he could see was Asti, while Gaius himself was nowhere to be found.
Asti paused for a moment, then turned her head to look at Morofushi Kagemitsu with a lingering gaze.
“Behrfinger…”
Zhu Fujingguang called out softly, his heart aching.
However, the other party did not react except to pull out a dagger and attack.
In the instant he approached him, Morofushi Kagemitsu heard his stiff, cold murmur:
"Execute the new orders and eliminate anyone who sabotages the plan."
Zhu Fujingguang paused, almost failing to dodge the approaching dagger.
He didn't retaliate either, but instead gave Asti a deep look before leaving through the broken window, drawing him elsewhere.
They were prepared not to get any information from Gaius, so they focused their attention on Bechfinger.
Asti darted after him.
During this time, the bracelet on his wrist beeped softly twice.
Morofushi Kagemitsu led him to the woods behind the villa, where Conan and the others were already waiting, ready to find an opportunity to knock him unconscious.
Conan's tranquilizer darts can anesthetize through clothing, but Asti's cloak was too flowing, so even if it hit him, it wouldn't anesthetize him.
So we need to pull the hood off his head.
However, even if the anesthetic injection doesn't work, they have other methods.
The hood was successfully pulled down, revealing his head.
Without attracting his attention, Conan quietly pointed his watch at him and then fired a tranquilizer dart!
The anesthetic needle successfully struck Asti in the back of the neck.
His pupils dilated for a moment, his hands stopped moving, and with a thud, he fell to his side and into a deep sleep.
Conan breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this.
Just as Morofushi Kagemitsu and the others were about to go over and help the person up, they heard Kudo Yusaku call out, "Wait!"
However, it's already a bit too late.
A sharp, cold light flashed, and crimson blood was spurted out with a gasp.
Asti, who had already fainted, rolled over and got up again, launching an attack without any mercy.
Unfortunately, the others were unwilling to retaliate, so they were quickly injured.
