Tokyo, in the high-end tower apartment, Yuu Hoshimiya was sitting on the sofa with a complicated expression, looking at the darkened sky outside.
Recalling the scene just now, his body couldn't help feeling hot.
Angel-like face, innocent little eyes, enchanting figure, and that soft thing wrapped in shower gel moving on his body.
Originally he planned to start the battle directly with Ran from the bathroom, but he was really worried about Ai being alone at the Blue Castle.
The small head couldn't control the big head at this time. After playing with Ran for a while, seeing the sky turning dark, no matter how tempted he was, he had to restrain himself and solve Ai's matter first.
Knowing Ai, Ayumi and others might be in danger, the kind Ran was more anxious than Yuu Hoshimiya, not to mention unhappy.
Originally Ran urged Yuu Hoshimiya to drive there quickly, but after learning Ai had been Contracted, the innocent big eyes of the girl looked at Yuu Hoshimiya with a complicated look.
Looking at Ran's expression, Yuu Hoshimiya was stunned first, then reacted immediately, explaining somewhat laughingly.
Ran obviously misunderstood something and treated him as a pervert.
Hearing Yuu Hoshimiya performed the Contract when Ai temporarily changed back, Ran's eyes returned to normal.
Yuu Hoshimiya originally wanted to explain Ai's special body condition; although shrunk, actually could also... plus magic...
But looking at Ran's expression, he finally decided to keep this matter rotten in his stomach for now.
The experiment with the fake loli, better not let a third person know for the time being. In the guest room of the Blue Castle, Ai lay on the bed, looking at the three sleeping children beside her, then at Professor Agasa's bed.
More than two hours had passed, and Professor Agasa still hadn't returned; the situation was a bit bad.
Ai picked up the mobile phone, wanting to turn it on again unwillingly, but the phone still had no power at all.
At this time, Brother Star should be resting at home, so can only rely on herself.
She lifted the quilt, got out of bed lightly, and then walked towards the door. Through the crack of the door, she saw the old woman sitting in a wheelchair, Chiyo Mamiya, and Takahito Mamiya.
Takahito Mamiya frowned and said: "Grandma, it's so late; why still wandering around?"
The ugly old woman said: "I'm waiting for my daughter; why hasn't my daughter come back yet?"
"Leave Mom's matter to us; Grandma, go back to room to rest!" Takahito Mamiya pushed the old woman's wheelchair to the room.
Ai frowned seeing this scene; people in this castle were very weird, it was necessary to investigate.
Ai put on her shoes, opened the room door gently, then ran outside, coming to the corridor of this ancient castle.
But soon Ai heard complicated footsteps coming from behind. She rushed over immediately; sure enough, it was Genta, Mitsuhiko, and Ayumi, three children following Ai.
The Detective Boys trio were also worried about Conan and the Professor. Discovering Ai ran out alone, they wanted to come out to search together.
Ai looked at the energetic three children, sighed, and could only agree.
The four soon arrived at the room they went to at noon.
Ai commanded: "Student Kojima, please move the chair under the clock."
Then she went to the desk to take books and put them on the chair.
Ayumi and Mitsuhiko on the side looked confused.
Saw Ai standing on the books, then turned the hour hand on the clock; a secret passage suddenly appeared in front of the four.
Because Genta propped it up vigorously, this secret passage didn't close this time.
Ayumi opened her big eyes looking at this dark secret passage, "What is this place? Is it a secret passage?"
"This is probably where Conan disappeared; let's go down and see!"
Ai and the three children turned on the watch flashlights, and then began to explore the secret passage of this ancient castle.
Soon Ai found a pool of blood on the ground; beside the blood, there was a series of carved characters.
"That guy impersonated me, wanting to take the castle's property..."
The carving ended here.
Ai's eyes narrowed slightly, "It seems that guy Edogawa discovered something here, and then was attacked by the criminal from behind; this pool of blood is probably left by Edogawa."
Ayumi's expression became ugly immediately.
Genta's flashlight shone constantly. Soon he discovered something, ran down the stairs hurriedly, and picked up a pair of broken glasses.
"Look, this is the Professor's glasses; there is blood on the glasses too?"
"Why are the Professor's glasses here?" Mitsuhiko looked worried.
Ai fell into thought, then turned to grope towards the wall on the side, accidentally pressing a switch.
The mechanism door turned immediately, turning Ai and Ayumi and Mitsuhiko who were closer to her out, leaving Genta alone in the passage.
Ai immediately discovered they were in the villa corridor where the Professor called before. She slapped that mechanism door hurriedly, but this door couldn't be opened from outside.
In the dark secret passage, Genta looked panic-stricken. Sound of wind breaking rang again; Genta was hit on the forehead by a stick and fainted instantly.
"Seems impossible to enter from here; let's go to the entrance of the original room to enter the passage again."
The three returned to the original room, but found the room locked.
Ai frowned: "Seems someone followed us all the way, not wanting us to escape from inside, and we happened to retreat from that door. For the present plan, we can only find other entrances."
"Where is Genta?" Ayumi looked nervous.
"Possibly caught by that guy following us; let's go, find other rooms!"
Seeing fewer people around, a layer of haze also covered Ai's heart.
The three children searched for new entrances constantly in this huge ancient castle. Soon they came to the studio on the first floor of the villa.
Ayumi and Ai held flashlights, searching constantly in the studio.
This studio was where Takahito Mamiya painted, mostly figure paintings inside. There were many portraits of his deceased mother, and piles of newspapers.
Mitsuhiko at the door seemed to hear something, turned and walked out the door, immediately discovering Conan's glasses on the floor.
He looked at that dark corridor and walked over.
Ai and Ayumi searched in the studio on the first floor for a long time without finding any suspicious passage entrance. After turning out, they discovered Mitsuhiko was missing.
Ayumi's small face was full of panic, "Ai, where did Mitsuhiko go?"
Ayumi pointed to the end of that corridor, across the garden, the door of that tower.
"Could he have run into that building!"
Ai's heart sank gradually. Mitsuhiko wasn't the kind of person who would act alone when something happened; his sudden disappearance made the situation extremely bad.
Ai looked at six-year-old Ayumi beside her; she was also in a child's appearance, and couldn't help feeling a sense of powerlessness.
At this moment, Yuu Hoshimiya's figure appeared in Ai's mind; how good it would be if he were here.
But Ai couldn't show any weakness in front of Ayumi. She took Ayumi across the corridor to the tower door, seeing that door had been opened.
It seems really have to go in.
Ai turned to look at Ayumi beside her and said: "You hide in the bushes on the side first. Count to three hundred; if I haven't come out, run quickly. Keep running along the main road; if lucky, you might meet passers-by and be saved."
Ai walked slowly into the tower, smiling.
"Also, if you meet Brother Star, tell him for me: there is someone who likes, likes him very much!"
"But..." Ayumi opened her mouth, but Ai's figure had disappeared into the darkness.
Ayumi hid in the bushes and began to count. What happened in the ancient castle today was too terrible. At first thought it was solving a mystery, but then companions disappeared one by one, even the Professor disappeared, and finally she was left alone.
Little Ayumi clenched her fists, trying hard not to let tears fall.
She looked at the tower door from time to time, very worried about Ai's safety.
After counting three hundred, Ayumi moved her short legs towards the gate of the Blue Castle.
She was about to push the door open and walk in, but was picked up by someone.
Ayumi was about to scream, but when she saw the person, she was stunned. Her face couldn't hold back, tears in her eyes falling at once.
"Brother Star!"
When Ai asked Ayumi to hide, Yuu Hoshimiya had already started positioning, preparing to teleport.
Because unable to contact, he couldn't adjust anytime. After positioning with difficulty, Ai had already broken into the castle alone.
So when he appeared, he only saw a real loli planning to break into the mountains alone in the dark rainy night.
Finding the event indeed changed, although worried about Ai, Yuu Hoshimiya couldn't leave Ayumi alone.
Not to mention the relationship with Sakurano Yoshida, he had also invested some resources in Ayumi, this real loli, planning to raise her well.
Ayumi looked at Yuu Hoshimiya descending like a god, small face full of surprise.
"Brother Star, why did you appear here suddenly?"
Considering Ayumi was too young, Yuu Hoshimiya didn't plan to tell her about supernatural power like magic.
So replied: "Not long ago, a bad premonition suddenly appeared in my heart; eyebrows twitching constantly, worried about you, so came to check. Where is Ai?"
Ayumi said hurriedly: "Ai went into the tower. By the way, Conan, Professor, Genta and Mitsuhiko are all missing. Ai and I were looking for them but couldn't find them. Brother Star, hurry up and go into the tower to find Ai with me!"
Yuu Hoshimiya pretended to just know this matter, "So that's it; seems you really encountered an incident. Come with brother!"
While speaking, Yuu Hoshimiya's movements were not slow at all. He held Ayumi with one hand, pushed open the tower door with the other, running up the tower stairs without hesitation. At the top of the tower, Ai dodged a stick swing from the ferocious-looking Chiyo Mamiya and said: "I knew it was you, playing dumb, watching us all the time. What, afraid I'll expose your true face?"
Chiyo Mamiya sneered: "Didn't expect little girls nowadays to be so smart, actually discovering my disguise. But don't you want to know how your companions are?"
"What did you do to them?" Ai constantly knocked down cover objects, wanting to stop this old guy from chasing.
"Want to know? You can go down to accompany them soon!" Another iron rod hit the charcoal table beside Ai.
Ai dodged quickly, running to the big hole in the middle of the tower.
After the fire four years ago, the guardrail here had long been burned. Ai accidentally stepped on a round wooden board, lost balance, falling immediately from the top of this tower.
The tower was fully more than thirty meters high; a child falling from this height would undoubtedly die.
The feeling of weightlessness invaded Ai's body. She watched that old woman's ferocious face becoming smaller and smaller, but her heart was calm.
Am I going to die?
Sure enough, a person like me doesn't deserve happiness at all!
Didn't expect not dying in the hands of the organization, but dying in the hands of this old guy instead; really too terrible!
Sister... Brother Star... sorry...
Thinking of Akemi Miyano and Yuu Hoshimiya, Ai's originally calm face changed at once, bursting out a strong desire to survive. She reached out grabbing randomly, wanting to grab something.
But soon, Ai found herself falling into a familiar embrace.
"Finally made it!"
Yuu Hoshimiya looked like having lingering fear. Noah's matter brooked no delay.
In the information age, with a super AI like Skynet, there is almost no need to worry about losing contact.
Even if Ai and the others' mobile phones were out of battery, Noah could understand the situation in real time through the mobile phone of anyone in the Mamiya family, and then notify him.
Yuu Hoshimiya pounced out at the stairs on the fourth floor, catching Ai falling from the air, landing at the stairs on the third floor, only then breathing a sigh of relief.
Yuu Hoshimiya looked at the bewildered Ai in his arms, couldn't help kissing her.
Ayumi also ran down from the fourth floor with short legs at this time.
Kissed by Yuu Hoshimiya, Ai seemed to be awakened suddenly.
"Brother Star, why are you here?"
"Because worried about you!"
"Brother Yuu Hoshimiya said he was restless all day today, eyebrows twitching, worried about you so rushed over to find us!" Ayumi explained on the side.
Hearing this, Ai laughed at once; long-tight nerves relaxed immediately, arms hugging Yuu Hoshimiya's neck tightly, burying her head in his shoulder.
Whether truly sensing it or magical precognition magic, anyway she was saved by Yuu Hoshimiya again.
One life-saving grace should be repaid with oneself. Counting back and forth, Yuu Hoshimiya had saved her three times.
Even counting growing bigger and smaller as twice, still one short.
Yuu Hoshimiya looked at the old guy probing out from the top floor wanting to see the situation below, sneering constantly in his heart. He bent down to pick up a stone burned black, throwing it up with force.
Although throwing from bottom to top, separated by more than ten meters, with Yuu Hoshimiya's strength, this stone was still powerful and heavy, hitting this old guy's forehead at once. The old guy's head blossomed instantly; she couldn't help covering her head and falling to the ground.
Yuu Hoshimiya held Ai with one hand and Ayumi with the other, walking upstairs.
They came to the top floor, only seeing a pool of blood, while that old woman was gone, presumably escaped using the secret passage.
Yuu Hoshimiya followed the blood trail to a wall edge. He saw a black lighting fixture hanging on the side, seeming to have traces of touch, so rotated the lighting fixture to the bottom. Sure enough, a downward secret passage appeared.
Yuu Hoshimiya opened the way in front, climbing down along the straight ladder; Ai and Ayumi followed behind.
This secret passage was extremely long; blood stains could still be seen on the iron ladder. Climbing down more than thirty meters, Ayumi and Ai were both panting heavily.
As soon as Yuu Hoshimiya landed on the ground, a sound of wind breaking appeared behind his head. He dodged immediately, avoiding the iron rod, and then punched.
A casual punch shot out instantly. Because afraid of killing this old guy with one punch, Yuu Hoshimiya specially restrained his strength.
But the punch force falling on that old guy still penetrated the body, shocking her internal organs into serious internal injuries.
With magical Conan-science medical technology, she could live if treated in time, but sequelae were absolutely unavoidable.
Yuu Hoshimiya knocked this old guy back with one punch. This ugly old thing kept oozing blood from the mouth, head bleeding, struggling to get up and run to the back of the secret passage.
Regarding the criminal escaping, he didn't care at all.
Compared to pursuing, Yuu Hoshimiya planned to take down the panting Ai and Ayumi first.
Two hot palms supported Ai's perky and tender small butt, feeling excellent, taking her down from the straight ladder and putting her on the ground.
Ai couldn't help glaring at Yuu Hoshimiya.
Sure enough, big pervert; taking advantage even at this time!
However, Ai stared closely at how Yuu Hoshimiya took Ayumi down. Seeing Yuu Hoshimiya's big hands holding waist and abdomen, she nodded with satisfaction.
Yuu Hoshimiya held a little loli in each hand. The two little lolis turned on flashlights, illuminating the secret passage brightly. The three strolled in this secret passage chasing that old guy along the blood trail.
Ai and Ayumi were both full of peace of mind, not afraid at all!
Soon they came to an empty room. There was a wooden cage in the room, locking several people caught before.
The old guy was inside the cage. She picked up the unconscious Conan, holding a dagger in her hand, shouting loudly to the chasing Yuu Hoshimiya: "Don't come over; if you come over again, I'll kill this child!"
The voice was so sharp that it woke up the unconscious people at once. They rubbed the big bumps on their heads one by one, opening sleepy eyes, movements synchronized completely like the same person.
Conan opened his eyes, suddenly finding a sharp dagger under his neck, being held hostage by that old woman who attacked him, with Professor Agasa, Genta and Mitsuhiko beside him.
And outside the cage appeared a person who was impossible to be here—Yuu Hoshimiya.
Yuu Hoshimiya was holding a little loli in each hand, looking at him calmly. Conan reacted immediately.
Teacher Hoshimiya! I'm held hostage by a criminal, very likely to die; aren't you nervous at all?
Also, how did Teacher Hoshimiya appear here?
Professor Agasa was anxious seeing this scene, "Shin..."
Before saying a word, he held back immediately, changing to say: "Don't hurt this child."
Genta and Mitsuhiko were also nervous, "Grandma, don't kill Conan!"
That old guy looked ferocious, roaring loudly at Yuu Hoshimiya: "I was hiding well here; why did you come to disturb me? I've killed so many people, a few more of you won't matter. You guy, if you don't want this child to die, bind yourself obediently and come over."
Yuu Hoshimiya smiled. Actually, with his speed, he could completely subdue this old woman before she acted, naturally having no scruples at all.
However, he planned to teach Conan a lesson, so he delayed action.
Just finished seeking death at Gin's place a while ago; didn't expect this kid didn't learn a lesson at all, today causing Ai, Ayumi and others to almost lose their lives again.
