Chapter 256 Hostility
Chapter 256 Hostility
Soon, the group reached a consensus and decided to go together to the poker club in the city center to find Colonel Monlang.
Next, everyone started to move around the room on their own.
Conan and his friends were studying Holmes's notes, hoping to find some useful clues, while the other children were wandering around the room.
Just as Asakawa Yu was idly observing the layout of the room, thinking about what was different from modern things and that he could appreciate, Conan's reprimand caught his attention.
Genta was holding a revolver in his hand, with beads of sweat on his face, while Conan had a serious expression on his face.
I see. It seems that Genta has already found the pistol in the cabinet.
After Conan's reprimand, Genta will obediently put him back. However, the pistol will be taken by Noah's Ark, who has disguised himself as Hideki Moroboshi, and will cause trouble when facing Colonel Monroe.
After thinking for a while, Asakawa Yu slowly walked in that direction.
Just as Genta was about to close the cabinet and put the gun back, Asakawa Yu called out to him.
"Wait a moment Genta."
"Huh?" Genta was clearly taken aback when Asakawa Yu called out to him.
Walking over to Genta, Asakawa Yu opened the cabinet, which was already half-closed, again and picked up the silver revolver.
Upon handling it, the icy touch and the heavy feel immediately come to mind.
Asakawa Yu hooked his index finger on the gun, gave it a flick, and twirled the pistol in his hand.
"It's alright." A strange smile appeared on Asakawa Yu's lips.
"Um... Asakawa-nii, what's wrong... never mind, it's nothing." Conan hesitated before speaking slowly.
Judging from his expression, he seemed to want to stop Asakawa Yu from taking the pistol, but after thinking about it again, he fell silent.
Conan knew that Asakawa Yu was among the top in terms of physical fitness and reaction speed, not to mention her skill with guns.
He had only warned them because he knew that Yuan Tai and the others had never used a gun before.
However, if the person you're talking to is Asakawa Yu, then there's naturally no problem.
Or rather, their safety might be better guaranteed after Asakawa Yu takes this gun.
Moreover, given his marksmanship, if he could kill Jack the Ripper directly, wouldn't that mean they could clear the game immediately?
Conan thought to himself.
"How's your marksmanship?" Ai Haibara stood beside him, watching him tuck the pistol into his waistband and cover it with his coat, and couldn't help but ask.
Seeing this, Asakawa Yu made a shooting gesture towards Haibara Ai and added a voiceover, saying, "I won't say you hit the bullseye every time, but hitting it eight or nine times out of ten is no problem."
Akemi also spoke up for Asakawa Yu, saying, "Ai, don't you believe in the boss's marksmanship?"
Looking at her older sister's silly appearance, Ai Haibara helplessly pulled at her face and couldn't help but sigh, "Sister, you're really hopeless."
Ran was quite confident in Asakawa Yu's marksmanship. After all, when facing Sawaki Kohei, Asakawa Yu made the same choice as her father, and Ran had witnessed it all.
Naturally, there was no doubt about Asakawa Yu's marksmanship.
But what puzzled her even more was where Asakawa Yu had learned his marksmanship.
She remembered that Asakawa Yu had mentioned before that he studied medicine in college, I think?
Does this mean that these days, everyone who studies medicine has to know how to shoot a gun?
Xiaolan had many questions in her mind, but she wouldn't ask them in this situation.
What Conan just said makes a lot of sense.
Indeed, Conan is right. Using unfamiliar weapons offers no benefit other than putting oneself in danger.
But if my Asakawa uses it, then there won't be any problem.
[It has to be said, Conan is quite good at reading people's expressions and acting accordingly, lol]
Looking at the situation before him, Hideki Moroboshi's eyes flashed with an unfathomable glint.
He sighed silently to himself, suppressing his inner turmoil.
In fact, he had already planned to secretly take the pistol that the chubby boy had put back, and to do something about it later in the story so that he could eliminate some people.
But now, Asakawa Yu's actions have completely disrupted his plans.
Unconsciously, Hideki Moroboshi slowly shifted his gaze to Yu Asakawa. Watching him talk to the people around him, Hideki Moroboshi had a bold idea in his mind.
In that case, wouldn't it be better to just eliminate this dangerous man directly?
It must be said that once this idea took shape, it began to grow wildly in his mind.
He could tell that the children here seemed to trust this adult named Asakawa Yu, and in Moroboshi Hideki's eyes, his strength was more like that of a living, breathing humanoid beast.
If they really let him stay by their side forever, then this game will be easily broken sooner or later.
This was completely contrary to his initial idea.
But if the elimination is too obvious, it will attract the attention of others. For example, the child with glasses will definitely notice something.
In that case, we'll have to find another way.
Just as Noah's Ark was brainstorming, Asakawa Yuya keenly sensed that someone was spying on him.
He looked in the direction of the gaze that seemed so obvious to him, and saw Hideki Moroboshi secretly spying on him with what he considered to be perfect stealth.
Oh? So you feel that he interfered with your original plan, so you started to become hostile towards him?
Although he was very confident in his abilities, this game was, after all, Noah's Ark's home turf. If he wanted to find any excuse to eliminate himself, Asakawa Yu couldn't say anything.
However, to receive help from Noah's Ark later, it's essential to first build up your relationship with Noah's Ark; this is beyond question.
Thinking of this, Asakawa Yu narrowed his eyes, and the atmosphere around him gradually changed.
"What are you thinking about?" At that moment, Mingmei's voice reached his ears.
Looking at his girlfriend, Asakawa Yu shook his head. "It's nothing, I'm just thinking about what to do next."
“I see…” Akemi could tell that Asakawa Yu hadn’t said everything, but so what?
She leaned close to Asakawa Yu's ear and said gently, "No matter what happens, I will face it with you."
As she spoke, she grasped Asakawa Yu's hand, and their warmth intertwined at that moment.
