Conan: The Mechanic

"It's really terrifying." Looking at the floor behind him again, Kaito Kid smiled and shook his head. "You're such a scary kid—just as scary as the kid named Conan Edogawa who came with you."

"Maybe he's not here, but I'm probably enough alone?" Qianyu changed from a standing position to a half-squatting position, and aimed one eye at the shooting line of the crossbow mechanism of the traceless umbrella, fully aiming. Prepare. "So, do you have anything to say first?"

"Of course there is," Kaitou Kid nodded with a smile. "As I said just now, you alone are not enough."

At the same time, several small white **** flew out from several directions behind Kaitou Kidd at the same time.

"!?" Qianyu was shocked, but she didn't know what these things were.

But soon, he knew what these were.

With a few explosions, a large amount of smoke burst from the white balls, and the figure of Kaito Kid disappeared in the thick fog in an instant.

"Cut..." Chiba looked at the spreading smoke and chose to step back - the auxiliary unit could not see far enough distance in this level of smoke, that is to say, if Kaito Kid was lurking in the smoke, then If he planned to wait until the smoke enveloped him, there was nothing he could do. The safest solution for him as a child should be to step back and ensure that he is always out of the smoke range, so that the crossbow in his hand can always ensure that he is out of the attack range of Kaito Kidd and has a sufficient strategy. initiative.

But the problem is that these smokes have spread to this extent and there is no sign of thinning... It means that these smokes form an invisible barrier, and Kaitou Kid is hiding behind this barrier, completely escaping Qianyu's monitoring.

Where is this guy now? Want to do something?

Just as Chiba was thinking about this question, the sound of a small ball that could emit smoke from before rang out a few more times. "Boom!"

Compared with the sound of the small ball just now, this sound seems to be a little further away.

Then there was the sound of the elevator door opening.

"!!!" Chiba immediately guessed the strategy that Kaitou Kid might be planning to take.

With such a guess, Qianyu immediately detoured to the side of the smoke, and then looked in the direction of the elevator.

The entire elevator was shrouded in extremely thick smoke.

"What's the matter!" Suzuki Jiroji's voice came from the elevator. "This kind of smoke must be Kaitou Kidd!"

"Damn..." Qianyu showed a helpless expression-because the one who released the smoke bomb was the phantom thief Kidd, so there was no doubt that he knew what he wanted to do now, but they could only passively defend against the unknown move of the phantom thief Kidd. .

This is too passive...

Then, the sound of the elevator door closing suddenly came from the smoke.

Phantom Thief Kid went down in the elevator? Or is it that he is still here, and the only people who take the elevator down are those who just got up? Or……

Qianyu suddenly pressed against the wall, nervously watching the first cloud of thick smoke that still didn't show any signs of thinning.

Kaito Kid just threw a few smoke bombs at the elevator door to divert his attention, but he was actually still hiding in this cloud of smoke to attack him?

A long time has passed, and the smoke created by the phantom thief Kidd for the first time has finally become thinner after expanding to one-third of the observation hall, and the auxiliary unit has finally begun to gradually see the smoke inside. situation. But until the auxiliary unit could barely see the other side through the thickest part of the smoke, there was still no one inside.

At the same time, Chiba received a text message from Haibara Ai—the people who had just taken the elevator to the observation hall where Chiba and the others were all evacuated in the elevator with a car with smoke, not a single person, not a single person. few.

Could it be that Kaitou Kidd is in this cloud of smoke at the elevator door? Chiba refocused on the smoke at the elevator door.

Probably because it filled the corner, this cloud of smoke lasted a little longer than the previous one, but it still started to dissipate in the end. But when the smoke cleared, the scene in front of him was completely beyond Chiba's expectations.

"!?" Only then did Qianyu understand what the phantom thief Kidd had in mind. "This guy……"

…………

Time went back to a few minutes ago, when Kaitou Kid just threw the smoke bomb.

Kidd knew that the child in front of him might not be easy to deal with, and that the pursuers might be about to escape in the elevator, so he had to find a way to get out of here immediately.

But it is also very difficult to leave here... There is no three-dimensional structure to hide in here - if there is a beam or something, you can consider it, but there is no such thing here.

Not far away, there is a rest room where the staff sent by the Tokyo Observatory used to rest, but there is no way out there. Once blocked, there is only a dead end.

Then, the only way might be to find a way to escape by taking that elevator.

But, how to escape? There must be a lot of people in the elevator, and it is impossible for me to mix in there.

Wait a minute, maybe...

Kaitou Kid took out a few more smoke bombs, and he also had a plan in his heart.

Quickly walked to the edge of the smoke, Kaiju Kidd glanced at the direction of the elevator through the thin smoke - the elevator was about to go up.

Kaito Kid immediately threw the smoke bomb in his hand in that direction, and then ran to the detonation point of the smoke bomb.

He didn't hear the rushing sound of running, which means that the child was probably still staying in place for the purpose of caution, which means that even if he ran out of the smoke now, as long as the footsteps were light enough, the child would not be at all. Impossible to find out about this. When the phantom thief Kidd ran to the elevator door, the smoke bomb had exploded, and a large amount of smoke instantly enveloped him in it.

Next, who is the person who seems to be... I hope it is within the range of people who can change the emergency costumes that I have prepared...

Just as Kaito Kid was praying, the elevator door opened. The moment the elevator door opened, Qianyu saw all the people inside.

Two strong and powerful staff who seem to belong to the department that maintains the order, one still looks a little dazed, seems to be a service staff who has just been pulled over to make up the number, the panting Suzuki Jiroji, and it seems that there is still a very confused Maori Kogoro.

Among them, the service staff who were quite at a loss for their lives stood at the outermost position of the elevator - it looked like someone was forcibly brought into the elevator to cheer after everyone else entered the elevator.

Probably brought all the men who could be brought over? The elevator was far from being overloaded, but it had already brought in less capable personnel.

Then, thank you for the opportunity you created for me!

Thinking so happily, Kaito Kid covered the mouth of the service staff who was not in complete condition, and then pulled him out of the elevator-the smoke had completely enveloped the elevator, and it was impossible for other people in the elevator to see this scene.

After knocking the service staff unconscious, the thief Kidd briefly embellished his clothes and changed his clothes into clothes that belonged to the same department as this person. Then he simply changed his makeup and changed his face. It is exactly the same as this person's face-the face model of this person has been known through the intelligence work done by the housekeeper in advance~www.readwn.com~, so he has prepared in advance the work that can disguise himself as this person. In just over a second, he has completely disguised himself as this person.

Putting the man down in the smoke outside the elevator door, the phantom thief Kidd disguised himself as the staff member and stood back in the elevator.

Fortunately, there are no police officers among these people. If there are people with rich combat experience, they will definitely know that the smoke is made by themselves, and he has expected them to be in the elevator.

If Phantom Thief Kidd himself faced this scene, he would judge that he was at an intelligence disadvantage and the other party was at an intelligence advantage. The first action he will take is to touch the elevator door and walk out, and then rush in a random direction - this way, although he can't let himself know where the other party is, it can let the other party know where he is, so that his own information The disadvantage is offset.

With the sigh of these "rookies" and the sigh of his escape, Kaitou Kid closed the elevator door, and then pressed the floor button of the elevator.

"Why is the elevator door closed?" Jiroyoshi Suzuki asked, seeming to sense something unusual.

"I don't know!" Kaitou Kid pretended to be Mouri Kogoro's voice and said - Mouri Kogoro is obviously still sober now and has no confidence in his own spirit.

"Hey?" Mori Kogoro was still a little stunned, obviously he didn't realize what he said just now.

"Forget it, let's go down first. Kaitou Kid must be prepared for it. Let's mobilize enough people before going up!" Suzuki Jiroji said.

Thank you for giving me a way out, kind old man.

Phantom Thief Kidd was so happy.
