Chapter 576 Three Brothers Under the Moon
Chapter 576: Three Brothers Under the Moon
For the sake of politeness, Sonoko resisted the urge to pinch her nose and pulled Xiaolan to make way for the stinky corpse man: "Since you are so anxious, let you register first."
"Thank you so much." The corpse said slowly, and then walked across the garden to register.
When registering, the corpse man took a close look at the names in front of him, 'Mouri Kogoro - Vampire', 'Martin - Little Ghost', 'Bunny - Little Ghost', and boarded the ghost ship with a sinister smile.
Watching the figure of the corpse disappear behind the side of the ship, Suzuki Sonoko quickly put her hand in front of her nose to fan herself: "Wow... I'm about to vomit... Isn't this too dedicated? But you can't capture smells in a movie, what's his purpose?"
"Could he be a so-called film company employee? Testing the acting skills of extras in this way?" Maori Kogoro reasoned: "If you want to play a qualified monster, you have to have no reaction to these smells."
But he is indeed dedicated... When that man passed by Maori Kogoro, Maori Kogoro was sure that it was the smell of corpse, exactly the same as the smell of a highly decomposed corpse.
Akemi Miyano had been holding onto Rabbit's wrist, and as she watched the corpse leave, she quietly told it, "Not yet, little Rabbit, it's not time to take action yet."
After Sonoko and Xiaolan registered their names, the person behind them, who looked like a mummy wrapped in bandages, pushed up his sunglasses, walked to the reception desk, and wrote his name in the registration book without saying a word: Kudo Shinichi.
After the corpse man boarded the ship, he went straight into the bathroom and took out his cell phone to make a call: "Lord Vermouth... the target is already on board."
On the other side of the phone, somewhere in Tokyo, Vermouth, who was wearing a very retro look, put down her phone and looked back at the full moon in the sky: "Gentlemen, it's time to set off."
Gin and Vodka walked out from the darkness and stood under the moonlight.
……
At the FBI base, Shuichi Akai found an excuse to leave alone and re-read the information of 'Joseph Joestar', but the information clearly stated that the current owner of the Edge Red Stone and the inheritor of the Ripple Qigong was named Martin.
Sure enough, he is a pretty boy, so why do I think his name is Joseph Joestar? Akai Shuichi scratched his head, trying to recall where he heard this name from.
In the other room, there was no light on. Conan was leaning against the window like a villain boss, his glasses reflecting the white light of the moon.
Conan still has the terminal sold to him by Ma Wu on his ear, and is monitoring the situation on the other side through the phone. As expected, a case has occurred on the ghost ship. Hattori Heiji has already deduced the truth, and is now about to announce the reasoning link. Hattori Heiji will appear as Kudo Shinichi before the reasoning begins.
Because before today, Conan believed that Vermouth would only take action after confirming that Kudo Shinichi appeared on the ghost ship, but now Conan can't say whether this is important. Vermouth, who has become a pillar of some ancient race, should not take him seriously, right?
Judy's complaining voice came from behind: "It's already late at night, why hasn't anyone come yet? Even if a few zombies show up to cause trouble... Xiu, are you sure you can lure Vermouth here?"
Shuichi Akai walked in with a sniper rifle: "Don't worry, Vermouth will not give up the Edge Red Stone. She has been waiting for two thousand years."
Conan: Two thousand years? That's equivalent to two turtles. How long can she live?
Judy was still worried: "Damn, if only I could see where she is."
"I can help you with this problem." A powerful voice sounded, and everyone turned around to see a European-American man who looked to be in his early 50s walking over. He had a resolute face, a beard, and was wearing a mountaineering suit like an explorer. He was also tall, muscular, and had tire shoulders.
In fact, in terms of physical age, the man is already sixty-eight years old, but the power of the ripples makes his body younger and he looks only fifty years old.
Martin, who has transformed into the middle-aged Joe from the third film, continued, "Your next sentence is: 'Who are you? Why are you allowed to enter here?' Like this~"
"Who are you? Why are you allowed to enter here?" Judy asked subconsciously, and then she realized something was wrong.
"It's me, Martin. I just accidentally got a little older. If you don't recognize me, you must recognize this one, right?" Martin said as he held up the Aizhe red stone that was a pendant in front of his neck.
"Eh?"
"It's definitely him." Akai Shuichi wondered why the pretty boy had changed his appearance again, and at the same time confirmed Martin's identity.
Martin looked at Akai Shuichi thoughtfully, then got back to the point: "You want to see where Vermouth is now. I can help you with this question, but you need a Polaroid camera."
"Really? Just a Polaroid camera?" Judy was a little suspicious, but she had nothing to do, and she thought Martin was going to perform some little science experiment. There was actually a Polaroid camera in the FBI base, which was used to take a lot of photos for evidence when they searched Vermouth's residence.
So Judy took the camera and handed it to Martin: "What are you going to do?"
Shuichi Akai also watched with interest to see what new things he was going to show off.
"Do this..." Martin placed the Polaroid camera on the table and raised his right hand: "Hermit Purple!"
No one except him could see the stand-in. Only Martin himself could see the purple thorny thorns wrapped around his right hand, and then he chopped down with his hand knife, smashing the Polaroid camera directly.
"What the fuk! What are you doing?" Judy exploded. Although a camera was nothing given the FBI's budget, it made her feel like she was being fooled.
Martin ignored her and pulled out the photos from the scattered pieces of the camera.
The main ability of Hermit Purple is "reading", which can be used to obtain distant images through cameras or televisions, or to predict and divine.
In addition, the idea of fortune-telling through a Polaroid camera is not something that Araki-sensei made up.
"The imaging film of the Polaroid camera is a cooking package or pre-prepared dish for photo development. The chemicals needed for developing photos are packed into small plastic bags and sandwiched between photos and light-sensitive film. When taking photos, a pair of rollers are used to evenly roll the film, breaking the chemical bag to release the chemical to develop the photos." "Smashing the camera violently like this will cause uneven sensitivity of the film. The fragments of the camera have a chance to break the chemical bag, causing uneven development of the photos, so the photos will have irregular images, usually patches of varying brightness. So in the United States in the 1980s, some people who didn't understand the principle thought it was a supernatural photo or that it could be used for divination."
Martin turned the photo between his fingers over to face everyone, and a pattern began to emerge from the black coating from bottom to top.
"Divination..." After seeing the pattern clearly, Conan and Akai Shuichi remained calm, but Judy was stunned: "Is this from divination? It's really not a magic trick?"
The pattern that appeared on the photo was not "patches of varying brightness" at all, but a very clear photo: under the cover of night, three figures with their backs to the camera were running between high-rise buildings.
The ones on the left and right are both classic black men from the Black Organization dressed in black and wearing black hats. Only the beauty with flowing blonde hair in the middle is dressed in the standard style of a Pillar Man - the cloth above the neck accounts for 70% of the body's cloth.
Akai Shuichi took it and said, "Let me see... Is this, gin? Vodka?"
Among the three figures, the one with fluttering blonde hair in the middle is Vermouth. And of the two figures on the left and right, one of them has long silver hair and is easy to recognize. Although the other one has no features from behind, the one acting with Gin and Vermouth can only be Vodka.
Vodka is also here! Conan was delighted when he heard that. Does that mean there are really no members of the organization on Xiaolan's ghost ship?
"Is this really their current location?" Judy was surprised and delighted. She thought to herself, if she had known there was such a method earlier, why would she have waited until today to divine their location and directly lead people to surround them? "Where are they now?"
Shuichi Akai looked at the photo carefully and could only see that three people were running on the roof of a building. He had no clue what building it was. However, there were some edges of other buildings in the photo... Wait, what is this?
Shuichi Akai discovered that in the upper left corner of the photo, there was a low three-story building, which was the building that their FBI was currently using as a base.
"——They're already here!"
Akai Shuichi took a big step out of the small building and looked up in the direction where Vermouth and the other two came from in the photo - there was no moon in the photo, but the backs of the three people were bright and their shadows were elongated in front of them, which meant that they came from the direction of the moon.
Looking up at the full moon, I saw three figures standing on the rooftop under the full moon.
The three figures had a very powerful aura, and as soon as they appeared, it was as if music with a strong sense of rhythm was playing.
(Awake) Auntie, please press it——eh eh eh eh eh——
Looking up at the "Three Brothers" under the moon, Martin, who had transformed into the second Joe, whistled.
There is no other reason. Among the three people, Vermouth's outfit is very retro. How retro is it? Not Qing Dynasty, Tang Dynasty, or even Qin and Han Dynasty, but even earlier than the Stone Age.
After all, wearing clothes to cover the body is the result of human evolution, and if the editor had not forbidden it, Mr. Araki probably would not have thought of dressing these ancient nocturnal creatures that have nothing to do with humans in terms of species and culture.
What Vermouth was wearing at this time also inherited the fine tradition of the Pillar People. Not to mention in this cold winter, even in the summer it would seem a little too cool.
"Go! Turn on the light!" Judy grabbed Conan, who subconsciously followed her out, and pulled Conan back to the room while giving orders. Even though this boy was much smarter than ordinary children, it was better for him to stay with Professor Agasa and Haibara Ai now, especially in the photos found in Vermouth's residence, this boy was treated specially.
There was no time before the war for both sides to exchange harsh words or trash talk. As soon as Vermouth and the other two appeared, the FBI immediately started fighting.
The lights that Judy mentioned were naturally not the incandescent bulbs in the FBI building, nor were they because the night was too dark to see Vermouth's figure clearly, but rather the row of high-power ultraviolet spotlights in front of the building, shaped like searchlights.
At the command, the FBI agents turned on the switch together and adjusted the direction to shine the ultraviolet light towards the three people.
Facing the ultraviolet rays, Vermouth immediately raised her hands to cover her face, turned around and disappeared at the edge of the roof, but Gin and Vodka jumped directly down towards the ultraviolet spotlight. It was obvious that they were just "ordinary people", neither Pillar Men nor vampires or zombies.
Shuichi Akai's hand had never been released from his sniper rifle from the beginning. When he saw the two men's actions, he immediately understood that they were going to destroy the power supply to turn off the ultraviolet spotlight for Vermouth, so he immediately raised his gun and started shooting.
Gin's reaction was the same as the last time he met Akai Shuichi. He took out a large drum-magnet submachine gun from under his coat and started firing wildly.
"Hermit Purple!" Martin, who was still in the state of middle-aged Er Qiao, immediately attacked. His fist hit the ground, and the purple vines carrying ripples moved directly along the ground and swam straight towards the enemy's feet.
No one can observe the Stand except Martin himself. The Hermit Purple, who was called a useless Stand by DIO, suddenly rolled up Gin's calf.
Gin instantly felt something touching his legs. He jumped back to dodge but failed to jump up and was pulled and stuck to the ground.
He looked down and saw that there was no sign of anything tied up at his feet. He looked up and saw the old man half-crouching with his fists touching the ground. Gin raised his gun and shot at Martin without hesitation.
Er Qiao Martin didn't look like an old body at all. He rolled flexibly and got behind Akai Shuichi to avoid the bullets, and pulled off the knitted hat that Akai Shuichi always wore.
When he appeared from behind Akai Shuichi again, he had turned back to the way he was this morning at the Mori Detective Agency - the Tequila Girl is here!
Waves can be effectively conducted in biological materials, such as hair. Shuichi Akai's knitted hat is knitted with wool, which is spun from wool.
The knitted hat had already been torn into yarn in Martin's hands, and with just a slight injection of ripples, the tiny yarn ends were like untied pigtails, turning into scattered, finer yarns.
"Ripples rush!" The golden ripples were magnified by the Edge Redstone on his chest and then injected into the wool. Then a large net with electric light was spread in front of Tequila Girl and Akai Shuichi. Gin turned the muzzle of the gun and poured bullets towards Akai Shuichi. All of them hit the net and were stopped by the ripples on the net.
Gin paused in his fighting action when he saw the eye-catching tequila girl behind the electric net. This familiar and friendly figure, the same muscular man and eye-catching skirt, even has special abilities - this guy is also a 'magical girl'!
After coming to the conclusion, Gin immediately shouted to Vodka: "Vodka, let's transform!"
