Multiple choice system: Conan World

Just when Sera Masumi was frightened by the badge communicator that had disappeared from his collar,

he suddenly noticed Vermouth walking towards him again.

She quickly tensed her body and assumed a fighting stance.

However, this time, Vermouth's target does not seem to be Sera Masumi.

Instead, he walked towards the place where Masumi Sera had just supported himself with his palms and kicked Vermouth in a handstand.

Sera Masumi's gaze slowly moved with Vermouth, and then her pupils suddenly shrank.

On the ground over there, there was a red, bow-shaped object lying quietly.

That was the bow-tie voice changer that Masumi Sera had asked Conan for before.

Apparently, the voice changer that Sera Masumi had put in her pocket fell out when she was performing the hook kick just now.

Vermouth bent down and picked up the bow voice changer on the ground.

At the same time, Masumi Sera also saw the badge with the word detective and the letters "DB" on it in Vermouth's hand.

'When did she take the badge off my collar?'

"I didn't even notice it at all."

While Sera Masumi was shocked, she secretly prayed in her heart that Vermouth would not be able to discover the purpose of these two small props with unique functions made by Professor Agasa.

Unfortunately, the words that Vermouth spoke the next moment directly shattered her beautiful expectations.

"A voice changer and a communicator."

"So the person who just talked to me on the phone was not Kunio Koizumi."

Vermouth guessed the truth as soon as she saw the bow voice changer and the detective team badge in her hand.

What shocked Sera Masumi even more was what Vermouth said next.

"It seems that Kunio Koizumi has once again broken his promise and revealed our deal to 'you'."

Vermouth deliberately put emphasis on the word "you".

But Sera Masumi's pupils constricted again because of her words.

She was originally confused about how Vermouth could tell at a glance that the bow was a voice changer.

Then, when she heard Vermouth clearly point out that there was more than one person on her side, her heart sank to the bottom.

"This guy has also come into contact with the kid."

"Then the fact that the boy is nearby will also be exposed."

Masumi Sera thought to himself, but he did not give up hope completely.

'The boy just heard my phone call with this Belmode. He knew I had to deliver the computer to the parking lot of the Still Water Hot Spring Hotel next door before two o'clock.'

"If the kid finds out that I don't show up at the parking lot of the hot spring hotel next door at the agreed time, he will definitely notice something is wrong."

Just as Sera Masumi was thinking of this, she saw Vermouth raise the badge communicator to her lips and then press the communication button.

An extremely strange scene appeared.

Shira Masumi saw,

Vermouth clearly didn't use the bow-tie voice changer in her hand, but just whispered to Conan on the other end of the communicator with her own voice:

"Something was wrong. Just when I was about to leave, the other party called again."

"The other party changed the transaction location to parking lot No. 21 on the first floor of the Wanoyu Hot Spring, and the transaction time was changed to 2:30 in the morning."

Soon, Conan's indifferent reply came from the communicator in Vermouth's hand:

"I see."

When Vermouth heard Conan's voice, the corners of her mouth curled up slightly.

Masumi Sera stared at the scene in amazement.

She had heard Conan say that.

Even his mother, the talented actress Yukiko Kudo, has never mastered the ability to imitate other people's voices.

Among all the people that Masumi Sera has come into contact with so far, it seems that only Kaito Kid has the ability to imitate other people's voices directly without relying on a voice changer.

But the woman in front of him could never be Kaito Kidd.

Masumi Sera looked at Vermouth as if she was throwing away garbage, and casually threw the bow voice changer in her hand behind her.

At the same time, he looked at himself with a teasing look.

That expression seemed to say—

The tricks that you are so proud of, which require the help of a voice changer, are as easy as breathing to me and I can do them at will.

At this time, Chianti, who was kicked away by Sera Masumi, also got up from the ground and picked up the dagger again.

He had been defeated several times by Masumi Sera, but Vermouth on the side was able to manipulate Masumi Sera with ease.

This huge gap made Chianti so angry that his chest almost exploded.

She no longer had any intention of following Vermouth's orders and capturing Sera Masumi alive.

Masumi Sera was looking at Vermouth who was looking at him with her arms folded in front of her, and at Chianti who was squinting her eyes and looking at her with a vicious look like a poisonous snake behind Vermouth.

She couldn't help but tighten her grip on the backpack.

"I wonder how much of the conversation between Vermouth and the kid just now that the kid believed."

"But Vermouth deliberately concealed the title, so the kid may not be able to realize that it is not me for a while."

"I can't put my hope on this kid, and the computer in my hand will be my only hope for escape."

Masumi Sera even had the idea of throwing the backpack in the opposite direction and running away.

After all, the software in the package is not actually completed, so even if it is taken away by the organization, there will not be much loss.

However, as soon as this thought arose, it was directly rejected by Sera Masumi.

Because the Vermouth in front of him was obviously not an ordinary minion.

This woman who is good at fighting and voice changing is also very smart.

Masumi Sera thought that if she showed even the slightest sign of giving up on the computer, Vermouth would instantly notice the fact that the software was not completed.

At this moment, Sera Masumi's thoughts had changed from catching Chianti to making these two people leave quickly so as not to affect other people.

The important criteria that will allow Vermouth and Chianti to believe that the mission has been completed and that they can evacuate is,

Whether the computer was snatched from my hands.

Therefore, in order to increase their attention to the computers in their hands, I must protect the computers at all costs.

At the same time, the idea of escaping upstairs was also rejected by Sera Masumi.

Because once these two people are led upstairs, there is a high possibility that innocent guests will be affected.

"The way out is blocked, and running upstairs is not realistic, so..."

As Sera Masumi stepped back, he reached into his pocket and took out the room card.

Then, with a "click", the door of Kunio Koizumi's room behind him opened.

After entering Kunio Koizumi's room, Masumi Sera ran directly to the yard with the private open-air hot spring outside Kunio Koizumi's room.

What a pity.

As soon as Sera Masumi took out the room card, Vermouth noticed her intention.

Vermouth's reaction was extremely quick. She pushed the door against her chest and rushed into the house before closing it.

Sensing that someone was chasing him from behind, Masumi Sera turned around without hesitation and kicked out, colliding with Vermouth's right foot in the air.

However, Masumi Sera, who had suffered a severe blow to her side not long ago, was unable to gain the upper hand in the kicking contest with Vermouth, who had an abdominal injury.

The intense pain spread from the waist to Sera Masaharu's brain like lightning.

Just when her movements were a little slow due to the pain in her waist, Sera Masumi was unable to react in time and was suddenly hit hard in the abdomen by Vermouth.

The feeling of his internal organs churning inside his body made Sera Masamune's legs go weak and he fell directly to the ground.

She knew that she had probably completely lost her chance to escape.

The room directly connected to the private hot spring was filled with the familiar smell of rotten eggs.

A strong feeling of dizziness and nausea occupied Sera Masumi's mind. She forced herself to cheer up and reached into her pocket again.

There, too, lay the dagger she had taken from Chianti not long ago.

"If I must be caught, then I absolutely cannot cause trouble for the boy."

Masumi Sera looked at Vermouth's feet in front of her with blurred vision and thought in her heart.
