Conan: The Magician of the End of the Century

Chapter 138 Decryption
Although the old lady in front of her felt a stronger evil spirit than that of Koichiro Numabuchi before, Xiao Ai felt that she was not as scared as before.

Even though her body was still trembling instinctively, thanks to the uninterrupted psychological guidance and physical training from Ishino, as Xiao Ai took a deep breath to suppress the anxiety in her heart, her consciousness quickly regained control of her body right.

Feeling that she has been able to overcome her fear, Xiao Ai looked at the other party with a look of confidence, and responded with a smile, "Really? I think it's more interesting to explore late at night. You see, I can't understand it." Has the castle's greatest mystery been solved?"

Seeing that Xiao Ai was able to smile so calmly, Belmord was a little surprised. The smile on his face was even stronger. He slowly approached the other party and asked, "Oh? Could it be that you have found someone in the castle?" Is there any treasure, can you tell me?"

"That's right, I've found the treasure, if you want to know..." Noticing the other party's intentions, Xiao Ai made a vigilant gesture while trying to distract the other party's attention with an answer, "Then wait until you explain everything to the police." After the crime, you impostor!"

Just when the other party stretched out his hands to grab him, Xiao Ai suddenly raised his hand and made a move to step back and straddle the tiger. While moving backwards, he used both hands to push away the arms stretched towards him.

Taking advantage of the opportunity when the opponent's center of gravity was unstable, Xiao Ai immediately made a downward movement, pushing her feet backwards and rushing forward at the same time, hugging the opponent's ankles with all her strength and lifting him to the ground, then immediately got up Run in the opposite direction.

At this moment, Belmore, who got up from the ground, was completely stunned. This time, she was really shocked by Xiao Ai's operation. She never expected that the other party could use such a magical move in such a desperate situation. Leveraging his strength, he avoided the huge gap in size and knocked himself down.

Although I didn't use all my strength just now, I just imitated the strength and reaction speed of an adult woman to attack Xiao Ai, but the composure and alertness reflected by the other party, as well as the unexpected tricks really caught me by surprise.

Of course, if Bellemo had to use all her strength, with her body strengthened by the fully awakened Pandora, even if she faced three strong men at the same time, she would be able to handle it in an instant. Naturally, she could directly subdue Xiao Ai before Xiao Ai reacted. .

But this time her purpose is not to catch the traitor Shirley, but to test whether the other party has the ability to protect herself well under the tracking of the organization. She was delighted to be an extraordinary child.

After all, Belmode cares more about Xia Mei's safety. Since Xiao Ai has the ability to protect herself under Ishino's training, and she can't see the shadow of Shirley before, she can rest assured down.

To be honest, what surprised Belmore the most at this moment was Ishino, who was full of mysteries in her eyes, not to mention that he was able to save the Miyano sisters from the organization, just look at the changes that happened to Xiao Ai , is definitely his handwriting.

Thinking of that confident smiling face that seemed to be holding Zhizhu at all times, Belmode felt as if his own thoughts had been seen through by the other party, and felt a little uncomfortable for no reason, but then thought of having him by Yoko and Natsumi's side, There was another wonderful sense of peace of mind.

But acting still has to be done in full, Belmore watched Xiao Ai gradually move away from his back, quickly collected his mood, and followed closely behind to catch up, while letting out a quick panting sound to remind the other party that the crisis has not yet been resolved.

Xiao Ai really didn't expect that the other party could catch up so quickly. When she realized that the other party was getting closer and closer to her, she suddenly saw a faint light coming in from above the ceiling in front of her, and immediately realized that there was a place over there. exit.

Sure enough, there was an upward ladder on the wall at the end of the passage. Xiao Ai quickly climbed up the ladder, pushed the door panel above her head with her last strength, leaned out and found that the exit was located in the castle hall.

But at the moment when Xiao Ai was about to climb out of the cave, Belmord behind him grabbed her ankle and climbed up with all her strength, and said with an evil smile to her: "Okay, little girl, catch ghosts!" This is the end of the game, let me send you to meet those missing friends!"

Just when Belmode's hand was about to grab Xiao Ai's neck, a metal bucket flew towards her arm at an extremely fast speed, forcing her to withdraw her arm quickly and barely escaped the sneak attack.

"How is it possible?! How did you escape?" Seeing the familiar little boy appearing in the corridor on the second floor, Belmode was a little dazed at first, and then pretended to be shocked and exclaimed.

Seeing that the other party's expression was shaken, Conan smiled confidently and said, "Thanks to Mr. Ishino who found me and Dr. Ali who were tied up by you with a rope at the end of a secret passage, this gave me the opportunity to solve the mystery about the castle." All secret."

"Damn it!" Belmore made a gesture and wanted to escape towards the gate, but when he saw Shi Ye standing calmly at the gate with his back to the gate, he immediately stopped his movements and stopped on the spot.

At this moment, Dr. Ali also came up behind her, and calmly said with his hands behind his back, "Hehe, don't even think about running away, Miss Mutsumi Nishikawa, the former housekeeper whose whereabouts are unknown."

"About your identity, I found out after asking a friend who is a plastic surgeon." He looked at the other's frozen face and continued to explain, "After all, someone deliberately plastic-made himself into an old woman, isn't it a thing? Is it something outrageous?"

"Hehe, so what if you know I'm pretending, do you think you can catch me?" Belmode walked to the side of a wall, opened another entrance she found when exploring the secret passage, and taunted, "For this castle , I know more than you guys, come in and catch me if you dare!"

Seeing that the other party was about to slip away, Conan suddenly smiled and said, "Why, are you going to escape? I originally wanted to point out a secret passage that you have been thinking about all these years?"

"Could it be that you have already unlocked the code of the chessboard in the courtyard?!" Belmode made a look of surprise and anticipation, and looked at the boy who looked more and more familiar with interest in his heart. , wanting to verify his identity through a conversation.

"That's right, the horizontal rows of a chess board are usually marked with the letters A to H, and the white pieces are represented by letters from near to far from the front, and the phrase 'Egg Head' can be formed, which refers to a A scholar with a muscle, that is, the Tailord himself who came up with this code!"
