Conan: I'm Not a Ghost

11:15 pm, Underground Research Institute.

Shirakawa and Takenaka walked tiptoe in the darkness along the straight passage in the middle.

I couldn't see the darkness, as if it was an eternal night of silence, and could only hear the gentle breathing of my companions.

They were well-trained, followed the instructor's instructions, tried their best to breathe lightly, hunched their waists, and moved forward slowly.

It was Bai Chuan who turned off the lights. To be honest, he regrets it now.

because he suddenly realized

It was impossible for Sakaki to know what happened above.

They can sneak in quietly and catch the opponent off guard.

By turning off the lights, doesn't it clearly tell the other party that an enemy has come in?

But think about it again.

If the lights are on and Sakaki can dodge bullets, can they really pose any threat with these two small pistols?

Shirakawa, who was worried about gains and losses, had his heartbeat beating like a war drum.

In such a quiet environment, any sound is as terrifying as thunder on the ground.

Even though they couldn't see anything, they couldn't help but keep their eyes wide open and glance around.

as they move forward.

Sakaki clung to the wall, closed his eyes, and adjusted his breathing. His mood remained calm, like a hibernating brown bear.

After people enter sleep, physiological activities will slow down.

Take Sakaki Makoto as an example, if his usual heartbeat rate is around 80 beats per minute.

Now, his heart rate has slowed down to 50 or even lower.

It's like a lake with no waves in the ancient well.

Completely opposite to the nervous Shirakawa and Takenaka.

As we all know, the hearing of blind people is stronger than that of normal people, but this only affects patients with congenital blindness because their bodies activate a functional compensatory mechanism, that is, the area in the cerebral cortex responsible for processing vision is assigned to process auditory signals. , so hearing is stronger than that of ordinary people.

In fact, ordinary people can also enhance their hearing, but they are not as powerful as blind people who have developed a compensatory mechanism.

The principle is very simple. Sakaki closes his eyes and focuses his attention on his ears to reduce interference from external factors and allow his brain to process more sounds.

but.

Sound is a ripple that spreads in all directions and gradually weakens as it propagates through a medium, such as air.

In other words, no matter how loud the sound is, it has a propagation distance limit.

And Sakaki’s hunting range

Louder or softer, depending on how loud the other party is.

Huh. Huh.

Two breaths as thin as a gossamer passed into Sakaki Cheng's ears.

Gradually, the sound of the friction of clothing and the sound of heartbeat became closer and closer.

until

So close.

At this time, Shirakawa and Takenaka realized that they had made a serious mistake.

They focused on dodging bullets, but ignored Sakaki's own strength!

Able to react quickly in a short period of time and turn passivity into initiative.

This move alone put them under great pressure.

Gudu

Bai Chuan couldn't help but swallowed and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

But he didn't know that it was just a spit that exposed his position.

Sakaki Cheng opened his eyes.

Two people, slightly far away from each other, watching from left to right.

After obtaining these three pieces of information,

Taking advantage of the moment when Bai Chuan passed by, Sakaki Cheng suddenly stretched out his hands, grabbed the opponent's throat with his left hand, and lifted it up, forcing Bai Chuan to raise his head. At the same time, he got close to his back, covered his mouth with his right hand, and used 50% of his strength to hit him. Break off the right side!

Shirakawa, who had undergone professional training, reacted instantly. His throat was locked by the opponent. He decisively gave up the pistol and used the strength of his neck to resist Sakaki Makoto's strength. However.

This move played into Sakaki's heart.

When someone pushed his head to the right, Bai Chuan's first reaction was of course to push hard to the left.

Can.

At this moment, Sakaki's right hand suddenly loosened and turned into a push. Following his head swinging to the left, he suddenly added strength!

Click.

The combined strength of the two made Baichuan's rather flexible neck joint as fragile as a chestnut stick.

but

Before confirming the identity of the other party, Sakaki used some strength and did not break his neck directly. He only compressed the blood vessels in his neck for a while, causing insufficient oxygen supply to his brain and he passed out.

Before falling into coma, Bai Chuan suddenly realized.

This is Chi Guoguo's killing technique, simple, crude, and kills with one blow.

Just two people couldn't do anything to Sakaki Cheng.

If you don't turn off the lights, there may be a glimmer of hope.

Plop!

The body fell heavily to the ground with a loud noise.

Taking this opportunity, Sakaki picked up the Bobosha submachine gun on the table and walked lightly towards the main entrance along the path he came from.

From beginning to end, he made no unnecessary movements, as smooth and elastic as if lubricated.

Shirakawa!

Not far away, Zhuzhong heard a "pop" sound. He suddenly fell to the ground, holding the pistol tightly, gritting his teeth, swallowing the urge to call his companions, not daring to make a sound.

He knew very well that Bai Chuan might have encountered something unexpected.

I think the instructor said this when they were still in the training camp.

If a teammate sacrifices, you must not be impulsive. Ensure your own safety as soon as possible, and then use the sacrifice of your teammates to determine the enemy's position and counterattack!

Takenaka did the same.

He knelt on the ground and listened carefully to even the slightest sound in the darkness!

pity

He heard nothing, not even breathing or heartbeat!

Ten minutes passed like this

Snap!

The light above my head came on.

The sudden bright light dazzled Zhuzhong's eyes, and it took him a while to recover.

"this"

At first, he thought it was the captain who brought people down to support him.

But when he saw Sakaki Cheng walking leisurely and carrying a Bobosha submachine gun,

His expression changed instantly.

at the same time

He also discovered his companions on the ground.

"Shirakawa!!!"

Zhuzhong rushed forward and picked up his companion. When he found that his companion still had a pulse and was breathing, he was relieved:

"Soulless."

Da. Da.

Poposa's gun was pressed against his head. Sakaki took out a cigarette from the cigarette case, lit it with one hand, and said lightly:

"name."

"Takenaka Daisuke."

"Organization you belong to?"

".Ground Lieutenant of the 3rd Division of the Ground Self-Defense Force."

Self-Defense Forces.

Sakaki's eyes flashed:

"I don't remember when I provoked you."

"Why come to Dusk Villa?"

"Find someone."

"Who are you looking for?"

"you."

Daisuke Takenaka raised his head and threw away the pistol, indicating that he had no ability to resist:

"The captain asked us to come down to find you."

"Who is your captain?"

"Terushi Toyama."

There was no need for Sakaki to ask any more questions this time, as Daisuke Takenaka answered very sensibly:

"He is the first-class Lieutenant of the 3rd Division, my boss, and the person in charge of ICPO in Japan."

"ICPO?"

Sakaki suddenly remembered that Shuichi Akai once said that ICPO had included him on the investigation list.

It seems

This Toyama Terushi has a very clear goal, and he is here for him.
