Chapter 225 Winter is Coming

Under the high wall that Yutani Miu built with her life, everyone was racing against time.

Edogawa Conan and Matsuda Jinpei immediately rushed to support the three people at the venue. Tsukiyama Asari and Amuro Toru escorted Rum and walked hurriedly with Kawashima Akiyoshi to the bottom of the secret passage.

The lower they went, the more humid the secret passage became. When Tsukiyama Asari passed through the winding secret passages and smelled the fishy and salty air, he could realize without looking at the system map that the ship that could take them away was not far away.

After stepping out of the secret passage, Amuro Toru reached out and pressed the switch at the end. After a slight vibration, all the not-so-bright lights hanging somewhere turned on.

From far to near, the artificially excavated caves were illuminated little by little, the hollowed-out rock surface, the seawater pouring in, and above the seawater... the huge ship.

On the pure black surface, the top of the watchtower was a black crow spreading its wings, reflecting the light of bronze under the dim light, and the bow was a ship mark that was magnified countless times and cast with unknown materials. They had seen it countless times in the manor just now.

There was no time to pay more attention to this huge thing. Tsukiyama Asari searched the simple pier for a week and soon found the connection point with the ship. After starting the mechanism, the huge cruise ship roared and opened its mouth to the few people.

There should be someone to clean it regularly, and there was not much dust. Amuro Toru quickly found the basement at the bottom, knocked out Rum and threw it in. This seemed to make him uneasy. The man found something to restrain him in the basement with only one door, installed a monitor, and then locked the door from the outside.

'System, press a camera inside. '

Tsukiyama frowned and said softly. His face was not good. It seemed that someone's knife or bullet had landed on Yu Gu Mio's arm, so he felt a sharp pain in the same place of his arm.

This sharp pain reminded him of something. The man closed his eyes and asked the system to switch out a space in the supermarket that could isolate all signals, and put the brooch that he had just pulled off Yu Gu Mio into it.

There was no time to worry about this. After Kawashima Akiyoshi repeatedly assured that he would stay here and pay attention to the movements of the man inside, the two of them quickly came to the control room and inserted the key on the top of the table in the control room.

As the key was turned, the entire ship roared. Without any surprise, the sleeping giant finally opened its eyes. Amuro Toru's tense face finally showed a hint of smile. He subconsciously put his hand over his heart, as if to stop it from beating violently.

Countless control data quickly appeared above the screen. He squinted his eyes and checked the engine room and various devices on the ship one by one. All of them were operating normally.

The man finally let out a little bit of the air that was stuck in his chest.

He squinted his eyes and continued to look down. When he was about to stop his hand, he suddenly saw another icon above the screen. It was a very classic anchor pattern.

And the anchor...

"...Can the anchor be retracted normally?" Tsukiyama Asari suddenly asked. He looked at the black pattern and had a bad feeling for some reason.

This made Amuro Toru pause. He whispered "Let me take a look" and then quickly operated the various buttons on the ship, trying to retract the anchor that was nowhere to be found.

The green light came on, and the icon of the anchor flashed and moved upwards. In the tense expressions of the two people, it flashed to the side, and then the green light suddenly switched to red, flashing like a warning.

Tsukiyama Asari's face sank. He immediately ran out of the control room and reached the deck of the ship. He lowered his head and tried to look down in the dim light. He saw a huge black shadow behind the cruise ship.

"I'll go down and take a look." Amuro Toru obviously saw those shadows. After he said something to Tsukiyama Asari, he used the machine beside him to go down and soon fell into the sea. The man swam to the stern of the ship and finally saw what the black shadow was.

It turned out to be an iron chain as thick as an adult man's waist. One side was connected to the back of the ship, and the other side extended infinitely into the rock wall above. It was unknown where it led through the thick rock wall.

The thickness of the iron chain made it impossible to break it with a gun, and there was no place to get explosives. Amuro Toru gritted his teeth and cursed secretly. When he floated up from the sea and returned to the top of the ship, he told this situation to Tsukiyama Asari.

The anchor was actually attached to the top of the manor... But if the organization wanted to leave, how could they open the ship?

Recalling the sneer that flashed across Rum's face when he heard Matsuda Jinpei say that the entrance to the laboratory was sealed, Tsukiyama Asari's head suddenly buzzed, and he immediately figured out something.

"Laboratory."

He whispered these three words, and Amuro Toru immediately thought of his own doubts when Matsuda Jinpei said this.

Why was this kind of laboratory installed only at the door, which would blow up the entrance as if they didn't want anyone to enter? It turned out to be to prevent the person who had taken the key by force from discovering the trap they set on the anchor and then turning back to break the anchor.

"Damn..." The blond-haired, dark-skinned man gritted his teeth, his brain working quickly, trying to find a way to crack it.

It turned out that the huge thing in the center of the laboratory that Kasugawa Shugo and Hagiwara Kenji saw at that time was the final fixed point of the anchor.

"Are all the laboratories connected?" After checking the map, the black-haired man lowered his eyes and asked this question, the answer of which he already knew.

"Connected." Amuro Toru responded quickly, his eyes lit up slightly, but soon dimmed again.

It was a good idea to go from the human body laboratory to the ship control laboratory, but compared to the ship laboratory, the human body laboratory had more checkpoints, and fingerprint and facial recognition were necessary. As long as the experimenters there were willing, they would activate the self-destruct device before being forced to open the door by him, completely blocking the entrance.

After all, everyone in the organization knew that whether Rum was caught was closely related to their own lives.

"Who can enter the human body laboratory...researchers and...experimental subjects." Tsukiyama Asari murmured in a low voice, and then something flashed in his eyes.

The black-haired man raised his head and looked at the man beside him, "I have a way."

Before Amuro Toru could respond with his eyes slightly widened, Tsukiyama Asari looked into his gray-purple eyes and said seriously, "I need you to help me contact... Vermode."

"How could you..." The name coming out of the other person's mouth was like dropping a bomb. The blond-haired, dark-skinned man asked subconsciously. Then he realized that since Vermouth had disguised himself as Miss Masaya on the ship, she should have come to the manor with the other guests.

"She appeared in the villa with you that time, and I heard her name...or code name. Earlier on the ship, I heard that she was Masaya." Tsukiyama Asari quickly dragged out all the clues he could get with this identity. Because he spoke too fast, he took a breath at the end of the sentence, "She looks very different from the last time I saw her from the window...so she is disguised, right?"

Amuro Toru nodded slightly, and then the word disguise made him suddenly realize something. He clenched the phone and interrupted the other party before he could speak, "You can't take this risk!"

"If I can enter the laboratory by disguising myself as someone else, then I can go too." The blond-haired and dark-skinned man frowned, and the moment he picked up the phone, his movements suddenly paused.

"You've also discovered it, haven't you?" Seeing his action, Tsukiyama Asari knew that the public security officer and himself had considered the same thing, "I don't understand this, but it will definitely take a long time to completely disguise yourself as another person. With my face... it should only take some modification of the face shape and hair, and..." "

Under the current situation, even if Vermouth goes by himself, he may be turned away. Only on the screen before..." At this point, the black-haired man subconsciously recalled the scene at the venue and gritted his teeth, even breathing heavier, "Only in the laboratory before... He, only as a brother, can possibly enter."

"But no matter what, you..." Amuro Toru lowered his eyes, he didn't know how to look at each other for a moment.

The public security officers didn't do much for Tsukiyama Asari, or rather, they even owed him a lot. He failed to save Fei Niao Wu and Yu Gu Miao. The two most important people to him disappeared under the shadow of the organization. Now, he has to take this risk again for a responsibility that is clearly not his.

"Mr. Amuro."

Tsukiyama raised his head and looked into the man's eyes seriously. "I asked before, what exactly do I look like in your eyes... and I didn't get an answer."

"You don't have to respond to me, at least not now." The black-haired man interrupted the other party before he could speak. He looked at the dark passage in the distance and continued, "Maybe it's because I'm not a policeman... nor a detective, so in your eyes I have always been an image that needs protection, but Amuro Toru..."

"I'm only three years younger than you and have long passed the line of adulthood. I have never been a fragile person, nor a guy who should be protected by everyone behind me... I also have the ability to protect myself and even others." He pursed his lips, his expression serious, "I know I can do it, so I choose to go. It's not showing off or self-sacrifice, but I can do it and I should do it... Do you understand?"

"This is what I should do."

Amuro Toru looked at him silently.

In that second just now, he seemed to see the shadow of Kasugagawa Shugo in Tsukiyama Asari. Perhaps the light in the eyes of the two people was the same, so they looked so similar. Perhaps when he left the police academy and went to his own battlefield alone, he, or Matsuda Jinpei and the others, everyone's eyes flashed with such light.

Perhaps because the black-haired man's temperament was too gentle on weekdays, he subconsciously ignored the sharpness in the other's bones. Fundamentally, he seemed to be the same as Kasugagawa Shugo and each of them. Amuro Toru knew that if it were him, after losing so much, he would still be more determined to move forward on his own path, but why did he think that he would be devastated by the departure of an important person when he looked at Tsukiyama Asari?

Of course, he would be like them.

".....I'll help you contact her." The blond-haired, dark-skinned man finally compromised in those few short seconds. He exhaled and sent an email to the familiar number asking for the location.

The news came soon.

What made both of them relieved was that Vermode was in the secret passage below the manor, not in the secret passage above or in the manor whose entrance had been blocked by Yutani Mia.

Tsukiyama Asari glanced at the words for a few times, and after keeping them firmly in mind, he whispered, "Give me your uniform."

The waiter uniform that Toru Amuro was wearing was very similar to the one that Mia Yutani had worn before. If he wanted to deceive the eyes of those experimenters, he couldn't just wear this set of sweatshirts. After putting on the

other person's clothes soaked in seawater, Tsukiyama Asari frowned and didn't pull the wet fabric stuck to his body. He turned around and left without a moment's hesitation.

Looking at the other person's back as he left, the public security officer wearing a clean hoodie still breathed a sigh of relief. As originally planned, he hurried to the venue to help Kasugawa Shugo and others transport guests inside the venue.

Tsukiyama Asari walked quickly through the secret passage.

Bermode did not reach a cooperation agreement with the Public Security Bureau, and even now did not know that Toru Amuro was a member of the Public Security Bureau. He just smelled a hint of something unusual from the other party's hasty text messages, so he chose to briefly inform the other party of his whereabouts.

The only pass to get her help is probably Yu Gu Miao. He was actually a little unsure of Bermode's attitude towards Cointreau. Her emotions were well packaged under the appearance of a witch. During the time that Yu Gu Miao was with her, he rarely captured those real emotions.

But he just had an inexplicable premonition that Bermode would help him.

Soon, the black-haired man set foot on the location mentioned by the long-haired woman in the text message. This was a very remote secret passage, and it seemed that few people came.

An empty place.

Tsukiyama Asari frowned slightly, and after taking two steps forward, something cold suddenly pressed against his back.

It was a hand. The muzzle of a gun.

"It's you?" A woman's voice came from the side and back, with a cold smile, "Bourbon actually asked you to come to me... He really was willing to do that."

"It was me who wanted to come to you." Tsukiyama Asari lowered his eyes and whispered. Hearing this, Bermode, who had pointed the muzzle of the gun at his beloved from behind, showed a moment of surprise on his face.

"Oh, my, I don't know what about me is worth your trip." Looking at the clothes on the other person that were wet by sea water, the woman's face flashed with understanding. She curled her lips and smiled, "It seems that the rat that the organization despises the most finally bit through this huge monster... I just didn't expect that even that Bourbon guy did the same."

There was no time to waste. The black-haired man closed his eyes and was not prepared to continue to circle around with the other party on these irrelevant topics. He pursed his lips and whispered, "I need your help."

He quickly dragged out all the plans regarding the anchor and the laboratory.

After a long silence, Vermouth looked at his profile and suddenly said, "The last time we met, I think I was about to take you back... This time, why did you choose me to help you?"

"If I take you back to the laboratory now and let them block the entrance, forever cutting off the possibility of this ship leaving, when Gin comes... you will only be waiting for death."

Vermouth was puzzled by this unprovoked trust, and Tsukiyama Asari couldn't explain it clearly. He

just inexplicably believed that this was probably his only candidate, and someone he could trust, so he came here just based on this inexplicable premonition.

The black-haired man closed his eyes, remembering the way Yu Gu Miao leaned close to his ear when they separated, and said, "I asked him this question as well.

"He said he could trust you, but... he couldn't tell me why. "

This tacit understanding made the two people present silent. After a long time, Bermode put down his gun and walked up to the newcomer from behind.

She raised her head and looked at the other's identical eyes. For the first time, she did not show the cold smile that appeared on her face all the time.

Completely similar eyes, if Yu Gu Miao would choose to say such words to his only blood relative... he probably had already anticipated his own ending.

The woman's hand trembled slightly.

His ending...? That's right, that guy has never been willing to sink into the darkness, and he is completely different from people like them. Even if he is pressed deep into the mud, he will one day get rid of the quagmire and slowly stand up.

She knew this a long time ago, and knew that one day... but no one thought that this day would come so soon.

"I can disguise you. "Vermode sighed softly. She reached out and held the face that looked about 60% like Yu Gu Miao, and looked at it carefully, "But there is only one condition."

"...What?"

Yueshan Chaoli was stunned for a moment, and couldn't think of any conditions that he could promise to the other party.

"No matter what you know or understand later..." Vermode whispered. She paused and suddenly felt that what she said was very vague, but it seemed that this was the only thing she could do. What she

could do for Yu Gu Miao.

"Never hate him."
