Chapter 2272 2284 [Uzo's Life-Calling Ghost]
Vodka: “…” It was so thrilling, Uzo’s traps were really everywhere.
While reflecting on whether he had revealed any flaws, he decided to reveal the information more smoothly.
Gradually, everyone came to a small waterfall.
This small waterfall is only one person high and is connected to the living water outside. In front of the waterfall stands a broken stone pillar, and on the top of the pillar stands something like a stone egg.
Vodka glanced at the worthless stone and shone the flashlight elsewhere.
As the beam of light extended, the surrounding space seemed to become wider - a few children followed the light and found that there were five forked roads lined up diagonally behind the stone egg.
Vodka was trying to make up a reason to take them to the right path, but at this moment, Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya suddenly discovered something.
He shone the flashlight at the pillar under the stone egg and said in surprise, "There are words on it! I knew it, with so many forks in the road, how could there be no clues?"
Vodka was stunned and suddenly had a bad feeling.
The next moment, the elementary school student Yinbi No. 2 read out the words above: "'Wanderer in the darkness, hurry up and take the Dragon Road, so that the heaven will bless you with light'... Dragon Road? Could this be the correct exit?"
"It looks like what's written on the wooden sign at the entrance of the cave!" Yoshida Ayumi couldn't read Chinese characters, but she had a good memory and remembered what happened when she entered the cave. She looked at Vodka expectantly, "Uncle, could this be a clue left to us by our ancestors? You are a fan of Brother Jiang Xia, you must be good at solving puzzles!"
Vodka: “…”
He was wrong. He shouldn't have been wary of only Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya - facts have proved that among these three guys, except for the little fat guy, none of them is easy to deal with!
"How can I possibly know what all this nonsense means? I'm not a bastard detective. I'm Vodka, a cadre who uses guns when encountering problems, and armed helicopters when guns can't solve the problem!"
Vodka snorted in his heart, but on the surface he could only imitate Jiang Xia and touch his chin, as if he was seriously solving a puzzle: "Well, let me think about it..."
Ayumi Yoshida nodded, but when she moved her head, she suddenly noticed some strange reflections.
"Huh?" She was startled, raised her flashlight in confusion, and shone it towards the top of the cave. Then she was shocked to see a dense mass of bats hanging upside down on the not-so-spacious cave wall. The bats were crowded together, their eyes half-open, as if flashing a chilling light.
"!" Yoshida Ayumi was stunned, her mouth moving faster than her brain. In an instant, a shrill scream resounded through the cave, "Ah——!!!"
Vodka: “?!!!”
He looked at the screaming kid and suddenly felt murderous, and then he was startled by the bat and was covered in the face.
As the bats flew by, the ruthless black-clad organization cadre adjusted his crooked hat.
Vodka: “…”
...How can there be something as disgusting as a bear kid in this world? !
...Of course, what he hated more than them was Uzo who stuffed these little bastards into his hands.
Vodka used up all his life's patience and finally managed to restrain himself from strangling these little creatures to death one by one.
While cursing in his heart, he threw the thing in his hand with force - not Conan, but a rough stone that could not leave fingerprints, although he actually wanted to throw Conan more.
The stone hit the ground a few meters away, making a crisp sound. The sudden movement finally attracted the frightened bats that fluttered around.
Vodka wiped his face silently, gritted his teeth and showed a kind smile: "Well done, there are bats roosting, which means we are not far from the cave entrance."
Ayumi Yoshida came back to her senses from the shock, wiped her tears, and looked at Vodka with emotion: This uncle is so nice, he even comforted her even after she got into trouble.
She couldn't help but reiterate: "Uncle, you are such a good man!"
"..." Vodka's eyes twisted again, and he took a deep breath, "Okay, let's go."
As he spoke, he looked at the five almost identical forks in the road ahead and felt a headache: How could he take the right road? Should he just say that he was just guessing?
This may be fine for fooling children, but other adults may not believe it, especially those "adults" include Uzo - if that kid questions it casually, his identity as a star-chaser that he has worked so hard to establish will be exposed, and he will no longer be able to attend Miss Yoko's concert openly in the future.
Thinking about this possibility, Vodka felt heartbroken.
But now there are three armed gangsters behind him, and staying alive seems more important than chasing stars.
He gritted his teeth and said to the three children, "Choose any road and go there..."
Dengdengdeng——
The sound of footsteps chasing behind me suddenly became clear after turning a corner - those people had actually caught up with me!
Kojima Genta was startled and jumped up, rushing into a nearby fork in the road.
In a panic, the other two children saw someone leading the way and rushed in without hesitation.
Vodka: "..." Why are you running? That's a dead end! !
For a moment, he really wanted to throw Conan in his hand over, so that these naughty kids could be killed by the three gangsters, and he could leave leisurely along the way.
But thinking of Uzo's "mission", Vodka had reason to suspect that if he went out alone, he would encounter some misfortune - and at that time Uzo could also put the blame on Vodka and distance himself from the matter by saying that "it was Vodka who was disobedient".
On one end of the scale are three ordinary gunmen, and on the other end is Uzo who got a real gun, plus his ruthless little brother who had a brain injury...
Is there any need to choose?
Vodka cursed as he was forced to follow the three naughty kids into the fork in the road.
——He wanted to take back what he said just now. That little fat guy was the most ruthless one! These three, no, these four little brats that Wu Zuo had his eyes on were all trouble!
But no matter how much he wanted to kick their asses, Vodka could only maintain his image as an honest man.
But even an honest person couldn't stand this kind of thing. Vodka couldn't help but murmured, "Why are you running around?"
Kojima Genta scratched his head and muttered, "Didn't you say to just pick any path?"
Vodka: “…”
When he leaves the cave safely, he will definitely cook these four damn kids into a hot pot! Uzo is the main ingredient!
Vodka exuded as much murderous aura as Gin, but he could only smile dryly: "Haha, indeed, you are right."
…
Three armed robbers followed the movement of the bats. They carefully shone their flashlights over here and also saw the stone egg on the stone pillar and five forks in the road behind it.
