Chapter 493

Akaso Kaze smiled.

At this height, one could fly over completely flat.

However, why bother?

Isn't this pretty great?

In the other direction of the secret passage, several people walked out of the low passage.

Mouri Kogoro straightened his waist and complained while continuing to walk forward:

"Really, why was that passage just now so low? Walking in the dark bent over for more than twenty meters, my waist is starting to hurt."

"Isn't that because Uncle Mouri usually lacks exercise?"

Conan habitually retorted.

He was also covered in dirt now.

Along the way, there were pits, fire-breathing, and poisonous gas mechanisms, each one more dangerous than the last.

Fortunately, the mechanisms all had some hints, and Conan cracked them one by one, so they stumbled to where they were now.

According to the distance estimation, the distance traveled was not short, and the end should be reached soon.

"Huh, I think I stepped on something."

Mouri Kogoro suddenly jumped backward.

A rumbling sound rang out in the silent corridor.

Metal spikes emerged from the holes in the walls on both sides, stabbing toward the opposite wall.

Looking at the mechanism in front, several people didn't worry much, but instead laughed.

"Another spike mechanism, it seems Kiichi only has this much ability."

Inui Shōichi laughed.

Conan's face, however, changed a little.

He shone his watch flashlight on the ground, and his face turned pale in an instant.

"Uncle Mouri, look at the footprints on the ground, they seem to be the ones we stepped on."

"Huh? How is that possible?"

Several people shone their flashlights on the ground and were all stunned.

The dust-covered ground had several rows of footprints, extending into the darkness.

Looking at the shape of the footprints, four big ones and one small one, who else could it be but them?

"Mr. Sawabe, have you heard of this kind of mechanism set up by Mr. Kiichi?"

Sawabe Kuranosuke shook his head blankly.

He had never heard of such a mechanism, where you could return to the starting point while walking.

"Could it be that the place we just walked through is a circular passage?"

Mouri Kogoro frowned.

Conan looked solemn.

No, very wrong.

The passage is straight, and he has been looking at the compass on his watch all the way; although the road is sometimes tortuous, the general direction has always been unchanged, there is absolutely no road that secretly turns back.

Since that's the case, why did we walk back to the starting point?

This is really too strange.

Several people hesitated for a long time and decided to continue walking forward.

Only Inui Shōichi quietly fell behind, found an opportunity, turned around, and walked toward the back.

"This place seems a bit wrong."

Inui Shōichi returned to the exit of the low passage.

"It's obvious, the colors of the walls on both sides are completely different, there must be something strange here."

Inui Shōichi kept knocking on the wall.

At this moment, a red light flashed in the darkness.

Inui Shōichi's right eye was instantly locked by the red light.

"It's you!" He screamed.

Bang!

The gunshot treated with a silencer didn't echo, only Inui Shōichi, with wide eyes, fell to the ground with a muffled thud.

Blood gushed from his right eye like a spring, staining the ground red in the blink of an eye.

In the darkness, Pous Qinglan walked out.

She was wearing a black tight-fitting suit.

Looking at the corpse on the ground, a cold smile appeared on Pous Qinglan's face.

"What an idiot, why come back yourself?"

Shining a flashlight on the wall, Pous Qinglan also frowned.

"This place is indeed a bit wrong, I have never heard of such a mechanism."

"To be able to make me walk back without knowing it, how is this possible?"

She stood in place, a strange light flashing in her gray eyes.

Akaso Kaze was cupping Kosaka Natsumi's little butt.

Since the low passage, they hadn't changed their posture.

Akaso Kaze was of course doing it on purpose.

Kosaka Natsumi was already dizzy.

She hugged Akaso Kaze's neck tightly, buried her head in Akaso Kaze's chest, feeling the touch of their bodies, and had long since forgotten where she was.

She only hoped to keep walking like this. ===== CHAPTER 495 =====
