When he escaped from the farm just now, Snake originally thought that if the other party caught up with him, he would leave Mao Lilan as a hostage.
But now that the tail has been thrown off, there is no need for this.
Natsumi glanced at Mao Lilan and replied: "Don't worry about her for now, the ceremony will start soon. Finally, check the network signal."
"Although 'that adult' and other adults cannot be present in person, they will watch the entire ceremony through the machine..."
Under Natsumi's command, Snake walked to the tripod aside and made a final check on the camera above.
Kudo Shinichi and Mao Lilan, who were tied aside, looked at the familiar face with no concealment of shock in their eyes.
Kasaka Natsumi...why is she here?
And why did that person call her Shi Kaobing?
Kudo Shinichi still clearly remembers that Shi Kaobing was the woman named Pu Si Qinglan.
However, when I think back to the original Memory Egg incident, the only suspicious thing is the information on "Shi Kaobing" released by Interpol, which says that Shi Kaobing is a killer who is good at using pistols and has a habit of shooting the target's right eye.
And the Pu Si Qinglan he faced, although very skilled, used a sickle instead of a pistol.
The second suspicious thing is that after the incident, Natsumi Kasaka disappeared.
Could it be that she is the real Shi Kaobing and her reasoning is wrong...
Kudo Shinichi squinted his eyes slightly and thought about the Egg of Memory incident and Qin Zhibo's participation.
If it is Qin Zhibo, he must know what is going on...
At the same time, Qin Zhibo was lying on the grass outside Stonehenge, using the cover of night to observe the situation inside Stonehenge.
He placed the [Guard Totem] into Stonehenge, and it was like watching a live broadcast, and he could see most of the scenes of the ceremony.
It's just a perspective.
Among those attending the ceremony, he also saw some familiar faces.
It’s been a while since I last saw Natsumi Kasaka.
She is the international killer "Shikaobing" and a member of the zoo organization. Her real name is "Hauptmann Natsumi".
She and Pu Siqinglan are twins, both descendants of Russian demon monks.
As well as Snake and Zhang Dapao, who have never been seen again after the Las Vegas incident.
The reason why he is called a cannon is because although he is a cadre, he is simple-minded and is basically the same as the vodka and tequila of the organization next door.
The people participating in the ceremony below include Asian faces, African faces, and European faces. It can be said that the elements are complete.
When Snake finally adjusted the camera, Natsumi asked him to bring Kudo Shinichi up.
In this way, Kudo Shinichi was taken away from Mao Lilan, and his hands and feet were tied to the stone bed in the center, next to the pure black coffin.
Kudo Shinichi wanted to struggle, but the rope was tied very firmly.
He could only look at Natsumi in front of him angrily and asked: "What are you going to do?"
A mocking smile appeared on the corner of Natsumi's mouth, "Kaitou Kidd, I will use your body to achieve the reincarnation of the Black Pharaoh..."
"Black Pharaoh?" Shinichi Kudo was stunned.
He had never heard of a black pharaoh, but it felt like he should be an existence related to occultism or supernatural powers.
But why is this kind of thing related to "Kaitou Kidd"?
Although he is not Kaitou Kidd, he knows that in the current situation, even if he proves that he is not Kaitou Kidd, these people will not let him go.
Even once the opponent confirms that he is not Kaitou Kidd, he may directly kill himself and Xiaolan.
The only thing he can do now is to wait for the opportunity to escape...
After making all preparations, Natsumi stood solemnly behind the stone bed and coffin and issued a grand announcement.
"Everyone, our believers are gathered here now to witness the reincarnation of the Black Pharaoh!"
"After thousands of years of waiting, the time for the stars to return has finally arrived! Nefren Ka's prophecy is about to be fulfilled..."
"Then, the reincarnation ceremony begins!"
Amidst Natsumi's announcement, the surrounding believers lowered their heads and began to recite unified hymns in unison.
At first, their voices were low, faintly speaking some unknown ancient text, but with a strange elegance.
After about a minute, their voices switched to English that modern people can understand.
"The universe is in flux, but the soul eventually knows its Lord, and our Lord's sleep is not the greatest cycle of all life..."
"The prophecies on the Wall of Truth will eventually be fulfilled - the arrival of Ghroth will lift the coffins of the stars from their graves, the long winter is finally over, and the moment of awakening is about to come!"
At this point in the ceremony, everyone's mood suddenly became high and they shouted in unison.
"Come back! Come back!"
"From Erem to Darthyr, from Cairo to England, from the Land of the Blind Apes to the Wall of Truth, your people are calling your name!"
"Nevren Ka, the Pharaoh who lives in darkness!"
"Come back! Come back!"
Natsumi chanted a eulogy and at the same time took out a huge blue gem from her wide sleeve robe.
She held the heavy gem in one hand, and made a scratch on Kudo Shinichi's arm with the other hand.
Blood flowed from the wound, bringing a slight warmth to the cold stone bed.
Kudo Shinichi felt the pain in his arm, but he could only grit his teeth and hold on.
"The smell of your enemy's blood will be your guidepost. You will follow the sign to cross the thousand underground steps, pass through the eternal abyss that never sees the light of day, and enjoy this rich sacrifice!"
"At that time, I will crown you with the jewels in my crown and become the messenger of chaos who teaches you what truth and miracles are!"
"We will cheer for your return!"
"Yeah! The great messenger!"
"Yeah! Chaos of Fu Xing!"
"Yeah! Nyarlathotep!"
At this moment, the whole place suddenly fell silent.
The scene that was very solemn just a second ago suddenly fell silent.
Everyone is waiting for the ceremony and eulogies to take effect.
However, everyone waited for a while, but nothing happened in Stonehenge.
The gray plain was completely silent, except for the rustling sound of the green grass blown by the breeze.
Other than that, nothing unusual.
Natsumi frowned immediately and looked around suspiciously.
its not right……
Why didn't it take effect?
She took off the gem she held in her palm, raised it and looked at the moon.
In the center of the gemstone, there is a faint red light.
This is how to identify the "Pandora". This unusual light proves that this gem is the real "Pandora", the gem in the crown of Nevren Ka.
The gem is right...
What's the reason?
Natsumi glanced around, the black coffin, the Stonehenge...these necessary factors for Nevren Ka's reincarnation were all missing.
After all, the Beast Brotherhood and the Black Pharaoh Brotherhood have been preparing for these things for hundreds of years, and it is impossible to make mistakes now.
The only thing that might change is...
Natsumi turned to look at Kudo Shinichi who was lying on the stone bed, and asked sternly: "Are you Kaitou Kidd?"
Kudo Shinichi doesn't know if he is Kaitou Kid. What's the big deal?
But now, the other party seems to have discovered the clues.
If you honestly admit that you are not someone at this time, you may be regarded as a worthless person and be killed directly.
If you don't explain it, you may trick the other party into repeating the content of the ritual just now, delaying the time a little.
Anyway, the other party's ritual seems to have no effect on me.
"I am!" Kudo Shinichi nodded seriously.
"Are you Kaitou Kidd?"
"yes!"
Seeing Kudo Shinichi's very determined eyes, Natsumi became a little suspicious.
But trusting him is the only way right now. After all, even if he is not the real Kaitou Kidd, it is impossible for him to come to his door at this time.
He is Kaitou Kidd, and he must be Kaitou Kidd...
So, she prepared to perform the content of the ceremony again.
But at this moment, a hearty laughter suddenly sounded from above the crowd.
"Ha ha--!"
"He's not Kaitou Kidd, I am!"
Everyone, including Natsumi and Kudo Shinichi, followed the sound and saw a white figure standing on a boulder platform built between two boulders.
The pure white cloak fluttered in the wind, like a dazzling white light, piercing this dark ceremony.
Under that elegant top hat is a handsome face filled with a confident smile.
"Monster, Kaitou Kidd!"
Snake recognized his old rival at a glance and exclaimed with his mouth wide open.
Others also showed varying degrees of surprise as they looked at the white figure stepping on the boulder.
Natsumi, in particular, looked at Phantom Thief Kidd on the boulder, and then looked down at "Phantom Thief Kidd" lying in front of her.
This is impossible……
Why are there two Kaitou Kidds?
While everyone was still immersed in the surprise in their minds, Kaitou Kidd, who was standing staring at the boulder, suddenly lifted a corner of his white cloak, revealing the playing card pistol hidden under the cloak.
His right hand was aimed at the two outdoor lights placed inside Stonehenge.
Whizzing……
Several playing cards flew out of the flat muzzle, cutting off the wires connecting the lights.
But even so, the outer members surrounding Stonehenge still held torches in their hands, and the light source was not completely cut off for a while.
But at this moment, the flames on these torches suddenly trembled violently.
Immediately afterwards, the flames suddenly went out, and Stonehenge instantly fell into darkness.
Suddenly plunged into unexpected darkness, everyone at Stonehenge was thrown into chaos.
It was Snake who immediately issued the order and shouted: "Capture Kaito Kidd!"
He and his brothers took out their guns, and although they said they were grabbing them, they actually shot them directly.
Pia, Pia, Pia…
Bullets rained down on the platform where Kaitou Kidd stood before disappearing from sight.
But in fact, Kaitou Kidd had jumped to the boulder platform next to him in advance and continued to make taunting sounds.
"Haha~ I missed it, I'm here!"
"I'm here!"
"here……"
For a moment, the entire Stonehenge seemed to be surrounded by Kaitou Kidd from all directions.
Qin Zhibo, who had waited for this moment, finally burst out from the other side of Stonehenge.
With the vision of a night vision goggle, it was as if he had entered an uninhabited land. While everyone was attracted by Phantom Thief Kidd above, he passed through the vehicle, peripheral members, and internal believers with lightning speed, and arrived at the stone bed.
He took out his dagger, cut the rope that tied Kudo Shinichi, and lifted him up from the stone bed.
At this time, Kudo Shinichi's eyes had not yet adapted to the darkness, and he only felt a small voice in the darkness untying the bonds on his body.
When Kudo Shinichi was puzzled, a familiar voice came to his ears.
"I'm Michael..."
"If you want to be saved, come with me."
Kudo Shinichi's eyes were stunned. He was both surprised and not so surprised by the person who came to rescue him.
He immediately put down all his guard and walked forward into the darkness with the support of the other party.
When passing by Mao Lilan, Kudo Shinichi grabbed Mao Lilan's arm with one hand based on the location in his mind before turning off the lights.
At first, Mao Lilan was a little resistant, but when she felt the familiar touch on her skin, Mao Lilan understood immediately.
Although her hands were tied behind her back, she could still walk.
The three of them quietly walked through the stone wall, and then got directly under the cars surrounding Stonehenge.
This is Qin Zhibo's plan.
Let Kaito Kuroba appear as Kaitou Kid and shoot down the searchlight with a poker gun.
Minase Yomu drove the ghost in the glass bottle to extinguish the flame of the torch.
Minase Youmu rarely came out during this period because she spent time learning a special skill - driving other ghosts in glass bottles.
However, although ghosts can be driven, the things they can do are very limited. After all, they have no entity.
But for flames, ghosts can affect it.
For example, as is often seen in many tomb-robbery movies, the candles in the cemetery are extinguished, which means that the presence of ghosts has extinguished the fire.
Therefore, Qin Zhibo asked Minase Yangmeng to control the ghosts and extinguish all the torches at the same time.
As a result, the believers who have lost their light source are like headless flies and can only be played by Kaitou Kidd.
And he can take this opportunity to rescue Kudo Shinichi and Mao Lilan.
But even after that, there is still a long way from Stonehenge to the highway, and there are no obstacles on the plain.
If you run hard, you will be discovered and pursued before you reach the destination.
Therefore, Qin Zhibo planned to hide under the car first, wait for everyone to drive to chase Kaitou Kidd, and then wait for an opportunity to escape.
Even if the opponent doesn't all chase Kaitou Kidd, the remaining people should be able to deal with them themselves.
…
At this time, Kaitou Kidd was still traveling back and forth above Stonehenge.
He relied on his strong skills to jump back and forth on the top of the huge rock wall to confuse his opponents.
Seeing that Qin Zhibo below had succeeded, he also changed direction and planned to evacuate the battlefield.
"Then we'll see you later!"
He jumped up and prepared to jump off the stone wall, and then used the height of the stone wall to launch his glider.
Although you can't glide too far at this height, as long as you can stay farther away and switch to black in one second, you can make the pursuer lose their target.
But just as he was about to jump off, a flying knife grazed the right side of his shoulder.
The sharp dagger cut through the white suit, and blood stained it.
"Bah..."
Kuroba Kaito groaned in pain and glanced back subconsciously, realizing that the person who hit him was a woman with an Asian face.
However, he could not stay any longer at this time, so he turned around and jumped off the stone wall.
There was a bang.
The hang glider opened, and the white delta wings carried him deep into the grassland.
Seeing that the target was about to escape, Natsumi immediately ordered Snake to lead people to chase him, but a voice suddenly shouted: "No need to chase..."
She turned around and saw that the person speaking was He Fang, the president of the He Chamber of Commerce.
He is also the high-ranking high priest of the Guild of Women.
