Out-of-control players in the world of Detective Conan

Chapter 561 Infighting

Could it be... that some kind of mechanism has come to guard it?

My surveillance footage has been blocked at some point?

After a moment, the footsteps stopped.

At the same time, Karasuma Renya's voice came through the earphone again.

"In addition, there's something else I'd like to ask you about."

Without paying attention to Karasuma Renya's words, the information broker turned around and fired at the empty wall behind him the moment the footsteps in front of him disappeared.

Bang bang bang!

The bullet was fired, but apart from leaving a few dents in the wall, it didn't hit anything.

Where are the guards?

boom!

Another gunshot rang out in the empty passageway.

However, the shot was not fired by the intelligence agency!

A bullet appeared out of nowhere behind the intelligence booth and flew straight toward his head.

However, the intelligence broker did not have any additional bloody holes on his head.

The bullets fell to the ground, and a few ripples appeared around the intelligence agency, followed by what sounded like shattering glass.

"what?"

With the protective shield shattered, the intelligence agency promptly added a new layer for itself.

This wasn't anything rare for him, and it was a disposable shield that would shatter after just one attack; he had quite a few of these defective items.

"Attacked from behind? Shouldn't they have attacked from behind earlier? Why are they only attacking now?!"

The intelligence broker immediately turned around again and pulled the trigger.

Worried that this might be some kind of conceptual mechanism, he then pointed another gun at his back.

However, he was still not as fast as the other person who appeared there.

After all, he had made too many movements just now.

Gunshots rang out one after another, and several bullets were already heading towards him!

A shot aimed at his head shattered the disposable protective shield on his body.

Two shots were fired at his knees, his legs gave way, and the intelligence officer immediately collapsed to his knees.

The last two shots were aimed at the elbows, and the intelligence broker's arm instantly dropped.

"Damn it!"

The intelligence officer, pale-faced, tried his best to keep his body from leaning forward.

After all, his elbow has been pierced. If he falls forward like this, he will immediately fall face-first into the dirt and won't be able to get back up.

"No, no, the bullet is poisoned!"

As the intelligence broker's body gradually weakened, his flat weapon fell to the ground, along with the cherry sapphire he had been clutching tightly.

Footsteps sounded again from ahead, growing closer and closer.

The intelligence broker knew that the person who had attacked him while he was hiding had already arrived in front of him.

"I was actually about to ask you, are you planning to keep this gem for yourself?"

The sound rang out from beside my ears, and at the same time, it rang out above my head.

The invisibility dissipated, and the intelligence broker finally saw the person standing in front of him.

"...Karasuma Renya! You bastard!"

The information broker stared at Karasuma Renya, gritting his teeth. He had finally realized it.

Got cheated.

All that surveillance, all that attack from behind—it was all a lie he told him!

It was all Karasuma Renya who was already prepared to attack him, wearing that invisibility gear!

Damn it, I can't believe the nonsense this guy was spouting!

"...Were you trying to mislead me with what you just said? There were no guards at all! You made it all up?"

"Deceive you? No, there is indeed a guard, but I did lie about his abilities."

Karasuma Renya smiled and bent down to pick up the cherry sapphire that had fallen to the ground.

However, because of the bloodstains, the gemstone now has a more blood-red hue.

"Actually, if you could stop being so impatient and ask the attackers when you're taking action, you might realize that the abilities I've added are fake."

With the cherry sapphire in his pocket, Karasuma Renya looked down at the information brokerage.

"But I'm really grateful that you trust me so much."

"...Don't you know that our organization has a rule that members of the same organization cannot attack each other?!"

"If I tell other people about this, do you think you can still stay in this organization?!"

The intelligence officer glared angrily at Karasuma Renya and said.

"The rules? I don't think these rules restrict me much."

Karasuma Renya sneered.

"Besides, don't you know that people on the same side shouldn't attack each other?"

"I'm on the offensive now, so how could I be the one who can hurt you?"

"..."

Hearing Karasuma Renya's words, the information broker's anger deepened.

I was completely defeated.

His injury is simply inexplicable.

Anyone could have hurt him, but it could never have been Karasuma Renya.

Is it true that Karasuma Renya actually used another faction to injure himself first, and then turned back?

Impossible. Before setting off, everyone in their organization except Kawashima had already conducted attack tests; they were all definitely on the offensive.

He was a mysterious figure within the organization, and with the support of veteran members, he did not participate in the attack test.

And no one else would think he would choose another faction.

Although he could later find an excuse to say that he wanted to see the conditions for a lone wolf to win, or to help the attacking side win in a more free way, the fact that he switched to another faction is a matter for him to consider.

But since he hadn't informed the organization beforehand, it's understandable that Karasuma Renya hit him.

So no matter what explanation is used, it seems that in the end, only he himself is at fault, while Karasuma Renya is completely without fault.

"Okay, I admit you've won now, but don't forget, I bet this whole event revolves around this gem."

The intelligence officer's expression shifted, and he finally let out a long sigh.

This is event one; there may be events two and three to come.

He lost a round, but he still has a chance.

However, he became increasingly curious about just who Karasuma Renya really was.

The only thing we know is that this person shares the same name as the deceased tycoon.

"Um……"

Hearing the information broker's words, Karasuma Renya stood there, pondering.

He was debating whether it was the right time to cut off the man's limbs and imprison him.

After all, he hasn't found the founder of this organization yet.

"What should we do next...?"

As the intelligence broker was plotting his next move, a green jade ball appeared in his hand.

From this angle, Karasuma Renya could not see the sphere in his hand, nor the slowly healing wounds of the information broker.

The information broker's words were obviously meant to deceive Karasuma Renya.

Did you lose in Activity One?

How could that be? This is nothing.

Their gaze inadvertently fell on the tablet on the ground, and the intelligence officer seemed to see a blue afterimage flash by.

He was about to rub his eyes when a sudden, sharp pain shot through his elbow, and he realized that his hand was now useless.

Damn it, can't I just use the recovery medicine the moment I have a thought?

Why insist on giving yourself acupuncture? What's with all this hardcore stuff, you bastard!
