Hikari Yuki yawned as she walked out of her house and headed straight to Poirot Cave next door. After they calculated the timeline, they found out that their case was actually one day after the time bombed skyscraper.
In other words: Conan will have to face bombs for two days straight.
They even wonder if the system has some kind of grudge with Conan.
The good thing is that their performance didn't have to bump into the movie, so they could play freely.
She had noticed that Poirot Cave was open, but Amuro Toru was not here yet. He was still busy with other things during this period of time.
"Sister Yuki, you're early today." Conan looked at Hikari Yuki curiously.
"Ah yeah, I was thinking of going on a trip later, so I'll say goodbye to you two first," Hikari Yuki said helplessly.
To be honest, Hikari Yuki didn't really want to go out. But she received a mission from the Boss, so she had to go.
And this mission is a bit… special.
Because of this, she wouldn't be able to stay and watch the performance of the players.
*sigh*
"Another trip?" Conan looked at Hikari Yuki with some suspicions. She really likes to go out and play around, making him wonder if she had nothing better to do.
"Yeah~." Hikari Yuki sighed.
"Have fun, Sister Yuki!" Conan nodded and waved his hand before going out. He will go to Teiji Moriya's house later.
Seeing him leaving, Hikari Yuki chuckled and finished her own coffee before leaving.
[Can you follow me to Tottori Prefecture?]
[For some reasons, we can't follow you this time. There seems to be something restricting us from going]
After Kurokawa Saki received the message from the Boss, she tried sending her ghosts over. But it was found that they couldn't get any closer to Tottori Prefecture.
It seemed that they were blocked.
[I got it]
[Miss, if you have to go alone, be very careful.]
Morofushi Hiromitsu was somewhat excited at first when Kurokawa Saki said that the Boss wanted to see her. But after Kurokawa Saki asked the ghost closer to the Tottori Prefecture to scout the areas in advance, it was found that they couldn't get any closer.
This made Kurokawa Saki understand that she couldn't cheat for the final moments.
Only real people could get closer.
The problem is, all of her ghosts were former undercover agents who had been found out in the organization.
If she let them return to life, when they're found out, her life would be in danger.
But…
[If I don't return within 3 days or if you all return to life before the 3 days limit is up, start the plan in advance.]
The three ghosts were looking at Kurokawa Saki with worries.
[But…]
[I'll try my best to return, but just in case.] Kurokawa Saki gave a reassuring smile and then parked her car in front of the designated base.
The three ghosts could no longer come any closer and waited in the distance.
"Do you think she'll be fine?" Morofushi Hiromitsu was genuinely worried.
They have been accompanying Kurokawa Saki for so long that they never thought it would be possible for them to be blocked by something. But now, it seems her ability has restrictions.
"This is not the first time she acts on her own." Kenan was trying to stay calm and composed. "We can only trust her."
Kurokawa Saki is by no means weak.
Those who followed her so far knew how capable she is.
They were also the one who trained her themselves and saw her rapid improvement in the past few years.
Still, it doesn't erase their worries about her going on her own to see the Boss. What if she was facing something she couldn't handle?
The feeling of waiting was really agonizing.
…
Kurokawa Saki has to wear a blindfold and earmuffs before going with them. Staying in the passenger seat, she was leisurely listening to the voices outside.
The earmuffs quality was good, but they underestimated her senses.
Since she upgraded her tracking and anti tracking to the maximum level possible, it seemed that her senses have become much more sensitive. Her eyesight was very good otherwise it would be impossible to become the best sniper in the organization. Her ears were also able to capture various details from the outside world.
It was a strange feeling at the beginning.
And Kurokawa Saki had trouble sleeping because she kept on hearing various things.
But later on, she managed to adapt.
Now, even with her ear being blocked, she could still hear the noise outside.
'We're circling around.'
She had memorized the entire Tottori Prefecture map before coming over. With her memory talent that she obtained from upgrading her memorization skills, Kurokawa Saki could easily picture the entire route perfectly in her mind.
But without any support or the ghosts, Kurokawa Saki couldn't exactly do anything.
This is troublesome.
"We're here."
The car stopped and someone tapped her shoulder from the side.
Kurokawa Saki reacted and opened the blindfold and earmuffs. She saw a butler standing in front of her.
He looked quite old and Kurokawa Saki's eyes flickered slightly.
This man is dangerous.
It seemed that the Boss was protected very well by his men.
Not to mention, the business empire behind him was not that easy to solve. It involves huge chain interest and many people wouldn't want to see it fall.
Otherwise, it wouldn't have been possible for the organization to last for such a long time.
"Sake, come here."
"Yes."
Kurokawa Saki followed obediently. Despite her steps and body language still showing her unruly and confident nature, she was showing enough respect as she is right now.
She was brought to the living room where another old man was standing in front of her.
Her intuition told her that this is another body double.
How cautious.
But it was also somewhat understandable, especially when Karasuma Renya has been coveting immortality for such a long time.
"Sit down. This is just a tea party."
Tea party?
Kurokawa Saki looked at the tea prepared and arched her eyebrows, but she still sat down and looked at the old man in front of her.
"Let's talk."
…
Kurokawa Saki was brought back to the base after everything was over.
It was night time and the three ghosts were still waiting. Other ghosts were also a bit restless because they knew that if something happened to Kurokawa Saki, they would have to start their plan in advance.
The moment Kurokawa Saki entered the Tottori Prefecture, they could sense their connection seemed to be blocked.
This has never happened before.
Thankfully, she had given the instructions in the group before. This way, they knew what they should do.
It was night time when Kurokawa Saki returned and she nodded imperceptibly to the three ghosts before getting into her own car.
