Chapter 176: The Dark Mysterious Train (Part 4)
At Nagoya Station, Suzuki Jirokichi was still lecturing the police: "There's only one hour left until the Suzuki Express arrives, so all of you, be on your guard!"
Gin, Vodka and the mercenary were hiding in the dark, silently observing everyone's movements.
After hearing this, Vodka said disdainfully: "A bunch of stupid guys, when the train enters the station, they will be blown up along with the bomb we have installed on the platform."
The mercenary held the taiyaki he had just bought from outside the station. "Speaking of which, if we timed the explosion so precisely, how are Vermouth and Bourbon on the train going to escape? Do they know about the bomb?"
"Who knows? It's none of my business." Gin gave a cold smile.
Vodka was a little surprised: "Hey, but Vermouth asked me to do that before. She told me that if I have any extra bombs, I should give them to her."
"what?"
"I asked her what she was going to do, but she cleverly changed the subject."
The mercenary smiled and stuffed the taiyaki into his mouth, mumbling, "Looks like this train is going to be turned into a BBQ party before we even get to the station."
On the train, in carriage number eight, Toru Amuro stared with wide eyes at the vanguard rushing towards him at an extremely fast speed. Just when the vanguard's head was about to hit Toru Amuro, Toru quickly dodged to the side of the corridor.
Then, Kaito Kidd, who was standing behind Amuro Toru, watched the forward's big head getting closer and closer.
Kaito Kidd:?
[Prisoner: Hey, hey, hey, William, brake! Brake! Stop now! You're going to hit someone with the ball!]
[Warrior: A powerful music begins (Give it a try! Don't worry too much! That's what a man should be like!)]
[First Mate: I don’t think this song is included on my LP?]
[Spellcaster: What's the point of asking him to stop? Watch me! William, do a 180-degree spiral!]
[Forward: Got it!]
[Prisoner: Is this all right?]
The forward who received the news immediately turned around in front of Kaito Kid and rushed towards Amuro Toru again.
Kaito Kidd only felt a strong wind blowing in front of him, almost blowing off his wig, and scared him so much that he took a few steps back.
Kaito Kidd: Are all of you people in Oritis seriously ill?
Toru Amuro felt like he had become a Spanish bullfighter, facing an iron bull that could turn around on the spot.
After narrowly avoiding the forward's second charge, Amuro Toru leaned against the wall of the corridor and stared at the prisoner and the forward with lingering fear.
The prisoner was leisurely adjusting his camera: "This shot is really good. I'll add this to my special effects short film when I get back."
Qian Qian stood aside and complained, "It's better not to. You are never satisfied with the finished product you cut. Then I will have to help you move the discarded film away."
The prisoner shook his head: "No, no, no, this clip will definitely go into my collection. After all, it's not always possible to get all four actors in one shot."
"Four actors?" Toru Amuro was stunned when he heard the prisoner's words, and then immediately turned to look at Kaito Kidd beside him.
Kaito Kidd reluctantly took off his wig and headset: "Oh, I thought it would take a long time to film, but I didn't expect to finish so quickly. I'm leaving now!"
Seeing that there was nothing for him to do, Kaito Kidd ran all the way to the truck compartment, ready to take away the hang glider he had hidden there. This also meant that Conan and the others could no longer know what happened in compartment No. 8 through Kaito Kidd's headset.
Toru Amuro, who remained in carriage No. 8, stared at the prisoners and the vanguard who remained there with a vigilant look on his face.
"Do you have to be so wary of us, Mr. Public Security? We are here to protect that girl." The prisoner twisted the lens of his left eye.
"She's in your hands?" Amuro Toru gritted his teeth.
"You could think of it that way. You're really worried about her safety, but you don't look like you're here to kill her. What's going on?" The prisoner put his hand on his chin, pretending to think.
After thinking for a while, the prisoner showed an expression of sudden enlightenment: "Oh, so it turns out that it was because her mother comforted Mr. Public Security when he was a child that Mr. Public Security was willing to protect this girl he had never met!"
Toru Amuro was already a little anxious at this time. He had seen the equipment used for human experiments in the Azoth Library. If the Oritis Organization really captured Haibara, wouldn't he have failed to protect his old friend's child and failed to fulfill his responsibilities as a public security officer?
The forward noticed the change in Amuro Toru's expression: "He seems very anxious, what's going on?"
The prisoner laughed. "Haha, I've broken your defenses, haven't I? If it were you, you might as well join us. That way you can be in close contact with her every day!"
[First Mate: You're dancing on his head.]
[Spell Master: You might as well play with fire.]
[Prisoner: Oh, I know my limits. And don't you think this is really funny? I'm actually recording the whole thing just for this scene!]
[Postman: Wow, you're really... dedicated.]
The enraged Toru Amuro pointed his gun at the prisoner in anger.
The prisoner was still on Amuro Toru's nerves: "Oh, you're not going to shoot me, are you? Aren't you a righteous public security officer?"
Amuro Toru gritted his teeth and said, "To deal with a member of a dark organization like you, it doesn't matter even if I have to kill you on the spot!"
The prisoner came to his senses and said, "Oh, yes, we are a dark organization. Aren't you also a member of the Black Organization? So we are now a gang of robbers?"
Even the forward, who had been watching the entire show, could see what was happening: "Hey, you're not trying to force him to fire that shot, are you? What are you trying to do?"
With a gunshot, the bullet accurately hit the projection lens of the prisoner's left eye. The lens shattered instantly, and the projection device on the prisoner's head also began to collapse. However, what flowed out of his head was not blood, but stacks of film.
Looking at the fallen prisoner, Amuro Toru suppressed his anger and pointed his gun at the remaining vanguard: "Where did you take her? Tell me!"
The forward spread his hands helplessly to indicate that he didn't know. Just when Amuro Toru was about to fire the second shot, the prisoner lying on the ground crawled up, but the scene was really scary.
At this time, the prisoner was manually putting his skull, which was shattered by the bullet, back on his head. However, since the film was scattered everywhere, he could only pull out all the film bit by bit and then put the projection device back together. He casually wrapped the torn film around his neck.
After the assembly was completed, the prisoner replaced the lens with a brand new one. "Oh, this will mess up the order of the images I took before. It's really a headache. Oh, no, there is no brain in my head now, only film."
[Spellcaster: How abstract.]
[First Mate: That seems to be okay. After all, Metropolis's worldview is a fusion of humans and machines.]
[Forward: But I found it so terrifying watching this! I'm going to eat three roasted pork knuckles when I get home to calm my nerves.]
[Savage:?]
Toru Amuro looked at the prisoner who had "come back to life" and widened his eyes in disbelief. Although he had seen magical alchemical products in the Azoth Library before, he was not familiar with the knowledge related to alchemy.
However, he was quite familiar with mechanical devices, and it was obvious that the two people in front of him had parts of their bodies replaced by machines. But even so, this bizarre scene still refreshed his cognition.
