The Chapter get Retranslated
Everyone was walking through the basement passage. Shirou, who was in front, turned to Natsumi and asked, "Miss Natsumi, why is the password 'The Last Wizard of the Century'?"
Natsumi thought for a moment, then replied to Shirou, "Perhaps it was my great-grandfather's title? My great-grandfather participated in the 1900 World's Fair when he was 16, exhibiting automatons, and later moved to Russia."
"I see, 1900 was indeed the turn of the century," Kogoro Mouri said. After saying this, he realized there was still a long way to go after passing through an archway. "More path? It's deep."
"Clang!" Conan, walking at the very front, suddenly heard a strange sound from another fork in the road on his left and immediately stopped, using his phone's flashlight to illuminate the path.
Ran, seeing Conan's actions, asked curiously, "What's wrong, Conan?"
Conan stared intently at the fork in the road, "I think I faintly heard a sound."
"Is it Scorpion?" Kogoro thought he was the only one who could appear at a time like this.
"Not sure, I'll go check it out." With that, Conan ran into the fork in the road. Ran didn't even have time to stop him.
Seeing Conan recklessly rushing into the fork in the road, Yu was quite speechless. If Conan really encountered Scorpion, with his unarmed child-like appearance, he would be eliminated by Scorpion in minutes. Thinking this, Yu could only run in with Conan.
"Conan!" Seeing that Conan and Yu had both run into the fork, Ran was about to chase after them but was stopped by Inspector Shiratori.
Inspector Shiratori stopped Ran and said to Kogoro, "Yu and I will go look after Conan; Mr. Mouri and everyone else should stay here."
"Understood." Kogoro nodded.
Scorpion, hidden in the crowd, saw that everyone's attention was drawn to the left fork in the road, so he secretly moved to the back corner. Seeing that no one noticed him,
he opened the bag he brought and took out the gun that shot Kaito Kid down from the sky and killed Hán Chuān. He attached a silencer and an infrared sight to the gun, preparing to eliminate the people he hated when he got the other Memory Egg.
However, Scorpion didn't expect that Gàn Jiāng Yī, upon noticing someone running to the back of the group, immediately followed him and then discovered Scorpion attaching a silencer to the gun. "
Ah! It's you…" Unfortunately, Gàn Jiāng Yī's words were cut short as Scorpion shot him in the right eye, killing him instantly.
In the left fork of the road, Ai Haibara and her group met Yu and his group at a corner.
"It's you guys!" Conan, shining his phone's flashlight towards the opposite side, found Ai Haibara and the Detective Boys illuminated in the light, greatly surprised. He never expected them to be in the underground passage.
Ayumi Yoshida cried out in surprise upon seeing Conan, "Conan!?"
"Haha, you guys are impossible." Conan felt utterly exhausted now.
Yu was also surprised to see Ai Haibara and her group. He still didn't know who Scorpion was, and with them there, the scene would surely be chaotic later.
He couldn't protect so many people alone, but he also couldn't just leave them there. He could only take them along, and if necessary, Yu would just pay extra attention.
After Conan and his group reunited with Kogoro Mouri, although Kogoro didn't want the children involved, what was done was done, so he reluctantly agreed.
To bolster their courage in the dark underground passage, the Detective Boys began to sing loudly, "In this world, I found your love…"
Listening to the Detective Boys' singing echoing through the passage, Kogoro was a bit speechless, "What exactly are they trying to do?"
Natsumi smiled and said, "It's alright, Mr. Mouri. More people make it livelier, right?"
"But…" Kogoro still wanted to say something, but after everyone turned a corner, they found that they seemed to have reached a dead end. "No more road?"
Natsumi asked, "Did we take the wrong way?"
Inspector Shiratori refuted Natsumi's statement, "Impossible, there should only be one path."
Conan stroked his chin and thought, "It seems there's a mechanism here too."
"Isn't that a two-headed bird?" Yu shone his phone light on a pattern on the wall.
"A two-headed bird… the emperor's symbol." Ai Haibara continued Yu's thought.
Conan, hearing Yu and Ai Haibara's words, looked closely at the painting on the wall. "Is that the sun behind the crown? The sun... the light... could it be..." Conan thought of a possibility. "Inspector Shiratori, shine your flashlight on the crown of the two-headed bird."
"Okay." Inspector Shiratori adjusted his flashlight to spotlight mode, making the beam the same size as the two-headed bird's crown. After shining it for a while, the crown began to emit dazzling light, and the ground started to shake.
The floor Conan stood on sank, while the floor Inspector Shiratori stood on cracked open, revealing a staircase leading downwards.
"An entrance? I see, this crown is a combination light meter." Inspector Shiratori understood the mechanism's principle.
"How cool!"
"What an amazing mechanism." Everyone praised the mechanism.
Yu glanced at Pusuke Seiran. As Yu walked past her, he caught a faint scent of gunpowder. Yu could confirm that this woman had recently fired a gun,
and at this moment, the only person firing a gun in the underground passage was Scorpion.
Yu couldn't accuse her immediately; it wouldn't be good if doing so caused her to lash out and harm others. Yu could only keep a close eye on her to prevent any tricks she might try.
Everyone went down the stairs and found themselves in a larger room. In the center of the room was a stone platform, and further inside, a coffin.
Conan looked at the stone platform curiously, "What is this?"
Kogoro Mouri and Shirou lit the candles in the room, and the previously dark room immediately became bright.
Inspector Shiratori looked at the coffin on the stairs and said, "It looks like a Western-style coffin, but it's made of wood?"
After using the key Natsumi brought to unlock the coffin, Kogoro Mouri and the others stepped forward to open it. "It's heavy! Inside is a body sleeping while holding an egg. Miss Natsumi, is the body Great-grandfather's?" Kogoro asked Natsumi.
"No, I think it should be Great-grandmother. Great-grandfather is the only one in the Yokosuka cemetery; I always found that strange. Perhaps because she was Russian, she couldn't be buried in the ancestral tomb," Natsumi said.
Shirou was very excited when he saw the egg. "Miss Natsumi, perhaps the timing isn't right, but may I see that egg?"
"Of course, please." Natsumi picked up the egg and handed it to Shirou.
"There's a small hole at the bottom." Shirou opened the egg and saw that there was nothing inside. "Empty? How is this possible?"
"What is going on?" Hearing that the egg was empty, Pusuke Seiran immediately became agitated.
Conan also couldn't believe it, "Empty?"
Seeing the egg was empty, Yu showed a playful smile. He thought of a Russian toy.
