Darren grabbed the professor's shirt and said, "Play with me. If not to the beach, then to the bushes is fine. I want to play with... Mother's followers."
After hearing this, Conan immediately felt that he could start from Darren and obtain some information about the top leaders of the Oritis organization.
"Darren, let me go with you. Look, I have a flashlight here. You can see the road clearly even at night. Remember, Darren, we had a lot of fun on the Super Snake roller coaster!"
"Okay. Uncle Luchino, then Conan and I will go play together." Darren seemed to agree without thinking.
The professor looked at Conan meaningfully, then agreed: "Go ahead, go ahead. But don't go too far, don't go into the area of the Glittering Grotto, and don't come back too late even if you have a flashlight. Midnight should be the time for the villagers to hold a sacrifice."
Conan's eyes lit up when he heard this. The sacrificial ceremony was not held until midnight, which meant that he had enough time to explore the surroundings.
[Puppeteer: I bet ten thousand Florian's airbags that Conan will definitely run to the Golden Grotto.]
[Fire Investigator: I'll bet you ten thousand of Richard's helmets that Matthias is right.]
[Knight: I bet ten thousand of Evelyn's canes that Florian is right.]
[Ms. Farrow: You're crazy! I'll bet Marta's flare gun ten thousand that you're right.]
[air force:???]
[Forward: I also bet that Conan will run over. If I win, I get three midnight snacks today. If I lose, I get two.]
[Magician: Don't make excuses for your gluttony!]
Conan dragged Darren away, his scooter tucked under his arm. Akai Shuichi looked at the professor.
"Is that child special? He has purple scales on his body, but he doesn't have the same disease as the villagers."
The professor's pupils contracted, revealing lizard-like vertical pupils. "Yes, she is very special. You'd better not target her, otherwise her... mother's revenge will be more than just a plague."
Suddenly, the professor changed the subject and turned to a mythological story: "In Greek mythology, it is said that Dionysus, the god of wine, once boarded a ship as a drunkard. Among the sailors on the ship, only one was willing to take care of this flushed drunkard."
"Later, those who did not believe in the gods were turned into fish by the god of wine. Their hands turned into fins, their feet turned into fish tails, and finally... they jumped into the sea, and the lucky sailors were accepted as faithful believers."
"So, what do you want to tell us through this story?" Akai Hideichi's face was serious. He heard a clue from the story.
"Darren is the lucky sailor, but I don't think I am one of those unlucky fish. God probably didn't expect that someone would independently research the method of 'transforming from human into fish'." The professor even said a little proudly at the end.
"So you really developed the method of turning into a lizard by yourself? That's incredible." Judy exclaimed.
"However, Darren's 'mother' did help me with this."
On the other side, Conan dragged Darren and jogged to the bushes on the edge of Lakeview Village.
"Darren, can you tell me about your mother? Mr. Lucchino and you both seem to have great respect for her."
Darren squeezed the few remaining jellies in his hand and said, "It's Mother... and even more so, God..."
"God?"
"Mother...is a divine master who can create miracles of life."
Conan showed half-moon eyes, because Darren's statement was getting closer and closer to human experiments.
This is what Conan thought in his heart: Darren regarded his mother as a god, and this "god" had the "ability" to create life, and Mr. Luchino was the subordinate of the "mother".
In other words, Darren's mother is the true researcher in charge of the Oritis Organization's android technology. Darren is her creation, and Professor Luchino is her experimental assistant...
"Conan, let's play dice." Darren took out a four-sided dice, the golden dice gleaming in the sun. "Let's see who gets to four first."
Conan: ??? Is this what your Oritis organization gives to children?
Conan couldn't help but hold his forehead. "Well, Darren, why don't we go to the mines in the distant Glittering Caverns? It's been abandoned for a long time, and there shouldn't be any large excavating equipment there. It's very safe."
"Okay, but, there..."
Before Darren could finish, Conan pulled Darren onto the scooter. "This will be faster. Although Professor Luchino said the sacrificial ceremony will start at midnight, we can't get there on time, so we have to hurry."
"Darren, hold on tight and hold my hand."
"Oh......"
[Crazy Eyes: This is a small scooter. I'll make one with a faster speed and better performance when I have time.]
[Aviator: Um, Mr. Balk, is there a possibility that we can just drive out?]
[Mechanic: Yes, if you want to modify a regular scooter, it probably won’t be possible to make it the same as a car.]
[Crazy Eyes: Humph, don't you think I don't understand this? Shock absorption, battery energy storage, driving stability, there's still a lot of room for improvement!]
[Prisoner: Ah, you are indeed a master mechanic.]
At this time, only a few FBI agents were walking deep in the mine of the Flashing Gold Cave, which had been blocked for a long time. It was obvious that there was nothing worth exploring here.
"There seems to be nothing here, just a mine that has long been hollowed out and sealed."
"Then let's go back and report to Mr. Akai. I wonder what's going on over there."
"Wait, does anyone seem to be there?"
The other two agents looked in the direction of the speaking agent's finger. At the end of the mine tunnel, there seemed to be a looming figure.
"Go over and take a look?"
"Proceed with caution."
When several agents approached, they found that the figure was wearing quite traditional miner's clothes, holding a stone in his hand, with his back to them, and no one knew what he was doing.
"Hello, how are you? What are you doing here?" An agent stepped forward and tried to talk to the figure.
When the figure turned around, the detectives discovered that this "person" had hideous features, and his body was stiff and twisted, as if deformed by something heavy. His clothes were tattered, covered in dust and slag, and the tears in his clothes revealed long-dried scars. He uttered low growls, unable to communicate normally.
"What is this?"
"Biochemical experiment?"
Before the agents could finish their discussion, the zombie threw the stones in his hand and then rushed towards the agents howling.
"Fire back! Fire back!"
"Wait, this is a mine. What if, what if there's a gas leak..."
"We haven't found any gas leaks along the way. Let's shoot. That thing over there is not an ordinary villager!"
Seeing the zombies getting closer and closer to them, the agents raised their guns.
After being hit by the pistol, the zombie let out a low roar, and the entire mine was filled with such echoes, and then rustling sounds came from both the front and back of the mine.
"That thing can actually summon companions?"
"Damn it! We have to find a way to escape!"
