Chapter 140 Azoth's Theorem Proof (Epilogue)
"Then gentlemen, I think I should retreat first." The evil lizard bowed to everyone, then jumped up, broke the window of the hall and left.
"Are you going to destroy the library before you leave?" Seeing this scene, Fool Gold's heart immediately turned red. He didn't care whether the evil lizard could hear his voice or not. He stood in front of the broken window and started to attack.
The puppeteer stopped Fool Gold, who was trying to chase him out with his pickaxe. "Stop, we have more important things to deal with right now."
After that, the atmosphere among the people present became tense again. Amuro Toru was a little worried that these guys would just kill people without hesitation. After all, in his opinion, besides the unconscious Xiaolan, Conan was also the one who discovered their identities.
Out of protection for the child, Amuro Toru protected Conan behind him. Conan was also very worried about Amuro Toru's safety at this time, and he said loudly: "We will definitely keep what happened here a secret, that..."
As soon as he said this, Conan felt that he was too naive. Such words were not convincing at all in this situation.
The blind girl took the initiative to speak: "I am the director of the Azoth Library now, right?"
"Yes, miss." The night watchman nodded slightly.
"Then, as the director, I will issue my first rule: no harm is allowed in the library."
The night watchman's expression suddenly became awkward. After all, what he had just done was hurting the current director.
The blind girl continued, "I promise they will keep it a secret. After all, if the information about the Philosopher's Stone is really known to everyone, there will be no peace here anymore. Right, Conan and Mr. Amuro."
Seeing that the three members of the Oritis Organization really listened to the blind girl's words and did nothing, Amuro Toru finally felt relieved. "I promise not to reveal this secret to the outside world."
However, what he was thinking in his heart was to let Yuya Kazami secretly investigate the information of this library after the incident was over.
Conan then made a promise in a childish tone.
At this time, the only people left in the hall were Conan, Toru Amuro, the still unconscious Xiaolan, the blind girl, the puppeteer, Fool's Gold and the night watchman. The old guard was sorting out the experimental equipment at the blind girl's instructions, and the scene was even very harmonious for a while.
However, this harmony was soon interrupted by a gunshot. The bullet was fired towards Oritis and the others. Fool Gold, who had the fastest reaction, immediately blocked the bullet with his mineral body.
Before they could catch their breath, a huge chessboard unfolded beneath their feet. A chess-like statue suddenly rose from the ground and crushed towards everyone present at an indiscriminate speed.
"Damn it, it's the sculptor's hieroglyphic cemetery. Find a place to hide quickly!" The puppeteer dodged the attack from the two statues and shouted to everyone.
Amuro Toru carried Ran on his back and pulled Conan to hide outside the range of the chessboard. The blind girl relied on her excellent perception ability to avoid several statues, even though those statues were not released towards her in the first place.
[Fool's Gold: Good news, the second stage hasn't been opened.]
[Puppeteer: Bad news! I ate three sandwiches and immediately fell to the ground.]
[Night Watchman: No, what's wrong with you? Louis is usually so skilled, how can you eat three sandwiches so easily?]
[Puppeteer: All the statues present were unleashed upon me. It's not bad that I only took three bites from being attacked by six groups of statues.]
[Sculptor: I deliberately avoided Helena.]
[Blind Woman: Thank you, Miss Galatea.]
[Puppeteer: Someone come and save me, Eli, aren't you here? Please help me with the trap.]
[Prophet: But according to the current script, I am still on the opposite side of you. Sorry, I can't help you.]
[Puppeteer: I can't take it anymore! Send Conan and the others away! I can't stand it any longer.]
At this time, Toru Amuro and Conan, who were hiding outside the pictographic cemetery, were also shocked by the chaotic scene. The night watchman raised his cane and smashed a statue, reminding them: "Why don't you take our new director away? This is no place for you to interfere now!"
After reacting, Toru Amuro continued to carry Xiaolan out, while Conan pulled the blind girl who had difficulty moving, and the four of them walked out of the library together.
While running on the suspension bridge, Conan noticed a black owl flying over their heads in the sky. Then there was another gunshot, and the cable of the suspension bridge on the side near the library was broken. The few of them hurried and finally ran to the other side before the suspension bridge collapsed.
Amuro Toru was still apprehensive. He sensed that the Oletus Organization was far more complex than it actually was. The information the puppeteer had shared with him was likely just the tip of the iceberg. Combined with the puppeteer's previous comments about internal strife within the Oletus Organization, it was clear that the attackers were members of another faction.
Conan first looked at Xiaolan on Amuro Toru's back, and after finding that Xiaolan was unharmed, he became concerned about the blind girl's condition: "Sister Helena, are you okay?"
"I'm fine, just a little breathless. Let's call the police right away. Only the police can handle this situation. Also, we don't know where Detective Maori has been taken by Kaito Kid."
However, before they could reach the hotel, Maori Kogoro came with the local police to provide support. After Maori Kogoro woke up, he felt something was wrong and immediately rushed to the library. The police were called by Kaito Kid, and Maori Kogoro happened to run into them and came together.
Although repairing the drawbridge would take time, the situation was urgent, so the police rushed directly to the library by boat. Fool's Gold, the Night Watch, and the Puppet Master had disappeared, leaving only some discarded stones and a bewildered old guard in the hall.
The police asked the old guard what happened in the library, but the facts that happened in the library before were somewhat unbelievable. The director who had been confirmed dead was actually not dead, and an alchemy experiment had just been conducted in the library. These could not be said directly.
The old guard was also getting anxious. He looked to the blind woman for help. "There have been so many cases in the library before, and I haven't seen you guys being very proactive. Let me introduce you. This is the new director of the Azoth Library. She will be in charge of all library affairs from now on."
The blind girl explained to the police that the library had just been robbed and the thieves had turned the library into a mess, but the thieves fled after being discovered and no property was stolen.
Toru Amuro and Conan both knew that the blind girl was hiding the truth. After all, neither of them could afford the consequences of the truth about the Philosopher's Stone being revealed.
Afterwards, the blind girl gave a copy of Maria's notes to Kogoro Mori and paid the commission fee.
Everyone looked through the contents on the last page of the notebook.
“Everything has its own essence. If we can find the catalyst to change its root, nature can change the world into what we want.”
"After denying it for so long, I still wrote in my notebook what is tantamount to admitting the existence of the Philosopher's Stone."
"The Philosopher's Stone, that crimson crystal, can change everything, and it does. The greedy will seek it from more and more people, the persistent will waste their time in pursuit of it... but those who truly master it will have the power to change the world."
“I can remain silent, but I cannot deceive the truth. The Philosopher’s Stone may seem out of reach, but time will eventually bridge the gap between people and this great work.”
"Humans are so insignificant, and life is so short, that I can only leave my insignificant reasoning on this last page, an unproven formula."
"To those of you from the future who are reading this note, I hope you will write down your proof in the blank space of this paper."
"After all, refining the philosopher's stone is just empty talk." After sighing, Kogoro Mouri took the commission fee given by the blind girl and prepared to buy some delicious food to reward himself.
Toru Amuro secretly asked Yuya Kazami to investigate the information, and Conan felt that he had finally caught a glimpse of the purpose of the Oritis organization.
