"Under the tree, under the roots of the tree, tree roots (NEKKO), cat (NEKO)?!"

Seeing this scene, Conan was slightly stunned, and then his expression changed drastically.

Because he suddenly realized one thing, that is, the "under the tree" mentioned by the mysterious man did not refer to the real tree, but the cat.

After all, "tree root" (NEKKO) and "cat" (NEKO) have the same pronunciation, except that one is stressed and the other is unstressed. It's normal that he accidentally heard it wrong.

Thinking of this, Conan quickly picked up his skateboard and ran downstairs.

He had to stop the old lady who took the cat and the cat cage away, otherwise when the bomb hidden in the cat cage exploded, not only would the kind old lady and the cute cat be blown to pieces, but the people around her would also receive an invitation to hell!

"Wait a minute, old woman!"

Conan had just run out of the fast food restaurant, and before he could say hello to the old lady, he saw her already got into a taxi.

Seeing this, Conan hurriedly spoke up, wanting to ask the old lady to wait for him. However, he was so focused on the bomb and wanted to catch up with the old lady as quickly as possible that he completely forgot to look at the road and wanted to rush across the road and run to the taxi where the old lady was sitting.

Unfortunately, the light was red and a speeding motorcycle almost hit Conan.

Fortunately, the rider was quick-witted and braked in time, thus preventing a car accident from happening.

However, although Conan was not hit because the rider braked in time, his subconscious backward movement when avoiding the motorcycle caused him to fall to the ground, and the skateboard in his hand accidentally hit the guardrail on the side.

Looking at Conan who fell to the ground and was rubbing his head, the rider's face was full of anger, "What are you doing? Didn't you see that the light was red?"

Actually rushing across the road when the light was red?
Are children nowadays so fearless of death?

If he wasn't in a hurry, he really wanted to teach this uncultured kid a lesson on behalf of the other parent.

"I'm sorry."

Seeing this, Conan hurriedly bowed his head and apologized to the rider.

After looking at him coldly, the rider said nothing more. He restarted the motorcycle and drove away.

After all, he is an adult and it is not right for him to argue with a child.

Besides, he had urgent matters to deal with, so he didn't have the time to waste on teaching a child a lesson.

"Oh no!"

After the rider left, Conan quickly turned his attention back to the old lady.

It would have been fine if you hadn't looked at it, but once you did, his expression became even uglier.

Because, after this delay, the taxi that the old lady was riding in had already waited for the green light and then sped away into the distance.

"Damn it, I'm so angry!"

"Five minutes to one!"

Seeing the taxi that the old lady was riding in going away, and then glancing at the time shown on the clock in the square, Conan gritted his teeth, quickly picked up the skateboard that had fallen to the ground, and without checking it carefully, he jumped on the skateboard and chased after the taxi...

"Four and a half."

As he was chasing, Conan suddenly discovered that the taxi in front had stopped because of a traffic jam, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

"Great, it must be stuck in traffic!"

Great, the taxi finally stopped.

Then, next, he only needs to take advantage of the gap when the other party is blocked here, and then "grab" the cat cage containing the bomb, take it away from here, and find a safe place to deal with it. At that time, he can eliminate this explosion crisis.

"what happened?"

But before he could be happy for long, the speed of the skateboard under his feet became slower and slower, and finally stopped.

After realizing this, Conan was stunned. "The sun is still so bright..."

His skateboard is not an ordinary skateboard. It is equipped with an engine that can run at the same speed as a low-speed car.

In addition, the engine can be powered by electricity as well as solar energy depending on the situation.

The sun is shining brightly now, and he has charged it before. Logically, the skateboard should be able to run for a while. At the very least, it should be able to support him to catch up with the old lady.

But why did the battery run out before it had run very far?
"That's right, something must have been damaged when it was thrown out just now."

After thinking carefully about how he used the skateboard, Conan suddenly remembered something and couldn't help but curse inwardly: "Damn it, it didn't break earlier or later, but at this moment!"

Just when he was about to catch up with the old lady, something unexpected happened. How could Conan accept this?

However, no matter how unwilling he was to accept it, things had developed to this point, and he had to accept it even if he was unwilling to accept it.

Perhaps, what he can do now is to find a way to solve the problem that he has no means of transportation.

Taking a deep breath and forcibly suppressing the regret and resentment in his heart, Conan jumped off the skateboard and looked around, trying to find some means of transportation that could replace the skateboard.

After all, although the taxi that the old lady was riding in stopped, it was still some distance away from where he was now.

With his short legs, not to mention whether he could dodge the passing vehicles in time, by the time he ran over, the traffic jam would probably have ended and the taxi would have continued on its way.

Fortunately, his luck was pretty good and he soon found a suitable target.

Looking at the bicycle next to the boy in the blue hat who was buying a drink in the distance, Conan's eyes lit up with joy. He quickly ran to the boy with his skateboard, and then without waiting for the boy's consent, he rode his bicycle and chased after the taxi, leaving only a sentence, leaving the boy in the blue hat who was holding a bottle of drink in his hand messy in the wind.

"Little brother, lend me your bicycle!"

"Little brother?" The boy in the blue hat was standing on the street holding a drink and watching Conan riding his bicycle farther and farther away. He pointed at himself with a confused look on his face, "Do I look younger than him?"

If he was not mistaken, the other person should be just a child of five or six years old, right?
As a result, the other party, a child who was only seven years old at most, actually asked him, a ten-year-old boy, to call him "little brother". Was there something wrong?
Or is it that the boy who asked him to call him little brother is actually not young, but is just a dwarf who can't grow up, so he looks younger than him?
Conan naturally didn't hear what the boy on the bicycle said, because at the moment, he was only thinking about catching up with the old lady. But even if he heard it, he could only laugh awkwardly, right?

After all, from a teenager in high school to a child of only six or seven years old, this kind of thing is really unbelievable. If you tell it to others, no one will believe it.

In fact, if this kind of thing had not happened to him himself, if someone else told him that there was such a thing as "rejuvenation" in the world, he would not believe a word of it.

"Oh no, the traffic jam is starting to move."

The taxi was right in front of me, and I would soon see the old lady taking the cat cage away. Unfortunately, at this moment, the traffic jam was suddenly relieved and the traffic started to move.

"Three points to one!"

Looking at the traffic moving forward, and then looking at the little time left shown on his watch, Conan couldn't help but show a look of anxiety on his face.

How to do?
There was not much time left, and at his current speed, he obviously had no chance of catching up with the taxi that the old lady was riding in.

Was he going to watch the plastic bomb explode and take the lives of passers-by nearby?
No, how could he be willing to accept such a thing!

"Wait, I remember now, I remember there seems to be a big bend to the left on this road!"

Thinking of the roads near this place, Conan had an idea and quickly braked, then rode his bike into a small road nearby.

It seemed that because the road was too remote, the end of the path was blocked by a roadblock.

However, Conan did not care about this. Instead, he took advantage of the protrusion on the ground, raised the front of the bicycle, and directly let the bicycle he was riding fly over the roadblock, performing an aerial acrobatic show.

The next moment, a bicycle fell from the sky and appeared on the road, blocking the taxi that the old lady was riding in.

"Squeak..."

The fallen bicycle was just about to hit the oncoming taxi head-on, but fortunately the driver was quick-witted and stepped on the brakes at the first moment.

Seeing that a child seemed to have been hit, the driver didn't bother to find out where Conan came from or why he was here, and hurried down to ask about his condition.

"Are you okay, little brother?"

Conan ignored him and took the opportunity when he opened the car door to run directly to the car. Then he made a request to the old lady who was still in a daze: "Old lady, lend me this basket."

After saying that, without waiting for the old lady to react, Conan sat in the driver's seat and opened the cat cage.

"25 seconds left!"

When they opened the pink cat cage, they saw that there was indeed a plastic bomb inside, and the numbers on the timer on the bomb were shrinking.

"Little brother, are you hurt?"

Seeing this scene, Conan didn't bother to pay attention to the driver who was still concerned about his situation. He jumped out of the car and looked around.

There was no way. There were only a few dozen seconds left before the explosion. Such a short time was not enough for him to move the bomb to a safe place.

But the more he looked, the more anxious Conan became, because there were either residential areas or kindergartens nearby, and there were several children playing happily in the kindergarten.

If the bomb explodes here, the consequences can be imagined.

"Damn it, we can't let the bomb explode here! What should I do! What should I do! What should I do!"

But at this moment, Conan suddenly heard the bomb timer stop ticking, and he couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

When he lifted the cat cage, he saw that perhaps God had heard his prayers or there was something wrong with the bomb, because the bomb's timer had stopped at sixteen seconds and would no longer tick.

"It stopped. Good!"

Although he didn't know why the bomb suddenly stopped, this was undoubtedly good news for him.

Because in this way, he can take this opportunity to transfer him to a safe place so that the explosion of the bomb will not affect the lives of others.

As for where to take it?
“I remember there was an empty field across the highway.”

There was no one near the open space and the area was large, so even if there was an explosion, it would not cause any adverse impact on the surrounding area.

What could be more suitable than this place?
Thinking back to that high ground, Conan no longer hesitated, and decisively threw the cat cage into the bicycle basket, then rode his bicycle and drove away...

Looking at Conan going away, and then looking at the skateboard in his hand, the driver couldn't help but be dumbfounded.

"Don't you want this anymore?"

This kid is too weird, isn't he?
……

"Drip drip..."

I don’t know if it was the shaking caused by riding that triggered the mechanism, or if God’s blessing was time-limited, but while I was riding, the timer of the bomb suddenly started moving again...

Hearing the timer beeping, Conan's pupils shrank suddenly, "It's moving again!"

Oh no, there’s not much time left!

Thinking of this, Conan quickly quickened his pace. Fortunately, the open space on the other side of the highway was not too far from where he blocked the taxi that the old lady was riding. Soon, Conan arrived on the highway.

However, because the speed was too high, after reaching the highway, the bicycle rushed out of the road, and Conan, who was sitting on it, was thrown out accidentally. As for the bicycle he stole, it rushed directly to the open space under the highway...

"Boom!"

The next moment, a bomb exploded. The power of this bomb was much stronger than the one that hit the Dixiang Jinchuan Green Park. After the bomb exploded, the area within a few miles around the open space shook.

As the site of the explosion, a huge pit was blown out in the center of the open space, and billowing black smoke continued to emerge from it.

As for Conan, although the place where he was thrown away was still some distance away from the explosion site, because the power of the bomb explosion this time was dozens of times that of the one in Green Park, he was still affected and was directly blown away by the powerful impact of the explosion, and then hit hard against a nearby big tree, and fainted...
