Chapter 539 – Hypnosis and Detoxification
"Alright," Kidd the Strange Thief pouted. "I think this layer of water under my feet has other targeting functions besides providing footsteps for you to judge my whereabouts, right?"
"That's right," the cloaked man nodded. "Your flashbang is almost useless, too, because it goes off as soon as it hits the ground."
"Think about it, if such a thick water is spread over such a vast space, it must not be light, right?" Kidd asked. "Please tell me that's why airships are moving so slowly?"
"yes," the cloaked man nodded. "There are more than 20 tons of water, so Suzuki consultants specially adjusted one engine block to a propulsion mode that provides lift, which also leads to a slightly slower speed."
"Okay, so I might have one and a half left?" Kidd the Monster Thief shrugged. "While my smoke grenades may not work, and flashbangs won't work very well, I think I can still offer ugliness - just what you call almost scrapped."
With that, Kidd unabashedly took out a small ball and popped it. Immediately afterward, he threw the ball upwards with all his might. Immediately afterward, he took out the poker gun and fired a shot upward.
"Oh." Chiba immediately realized what Kidd might be trying to do, but his eyes immediately turned away from this direction after glancing upwards.
The water on the ground prevents Kidd's flashbang's thermite reaction from flashing, but it doesn't stop the flashbang from glowing in the air.
The second point was what Gray Hara had feared before—it was noon, and the sun was shining in through the observation window directly above. Just checking to see if there was a stain just now, it had already left a dark spot on Qianyu's retina that lasted for a few minutes.
Everyone immediately lowered their heads until the flashbang fell into the water and made a crashing sound.
"Where is he?" Chiba asked. "Can anyone see?"
Immediately after, there was a sudden sound of machines running almost frantically behind them, followed by a surprise from Kidd, the strange thief. "Ahh This was followed by the sound of splashing water.
Chiba immediately turned around, and then caught Kidd, who had completely changed back into a thief's attire, getting up from the ground in embarrassment.
"Oh my God," Kidd stood up rather embarrassed, then looked at the Cloaked Man. "I ...... I'm really curious...... How exactly do you do that? ”
"What do you mean?" The cloaked man turned unhurriedly and looked at Kidd the Monster Thief. "Why is it okay for me to stand in front of the jewelry cabinet, but does it trigger the trap when you stand in front of the jewelry cabinet?"
"Yes," Kidd looked in the direction of the jewelry cabinet. "This thing ......"
Just on the jewelry cabinet, a rather elastic elastic net has completely encased the entire jewelry cabinet. And clinging to the edge of the bullet net are the four poles that Qian Yu had been puzzled about before, and they can slide up and down on the pillar. Apparently, something detected Kidd the Monster Thief's arrival, and then used the mechanism inside to unfold a net between the four poles, and then quickly slid down through mechanical force - obviously quite fast, otherwise Kidd the Monster Thief, who was known for his mobility, would not have rolled out in embarrassment.
"Ask a question," the cloaked man asked. "What did you eat in the morning?"
"Breakfast for the airship, what's wrong?" Kidd frowned. "Is there something wrong with the diet?"
"There's nothing wrong with your diet, but we have," the cloaked man gestured with his hands. "We had a little barium lunch in the morning."
"Barium ......," Kidd the thief repeated thoughtfully, then guessed something. You won't ...... There won't be X-ray detection equipment here, right? ”
"Yes," the cloaked man nodded. "The X-ray detection equipment and the visible light detection equipment are detecting synchronously, and if the X-ray detection equipment does not respond and the visible light detection equipment sees something, the net will come down. Under normal circumstances, there might not be enough to deal with your smoke grenades, but in a situation like this you simply can't make smoke that can go past the detection equipment. ”
"Looks like I probably can't steal it?" Kidd smacked his lips as he looked at the jewelry cabinet that had been netted. "Although this operation seems to have failed, yes, I still made it worthwhile - I didn't expect to meet such a good and respectable opponent as you."
"All right," the cloaked man said with a smile. "If I had to say anything, I could only tell you one thing - you ......" At this point, the cloaked man suddenly stopped.
"What do you want to say?" Kidd asked.
"Nothing," the cloaked man shook his head. "It's just that something subtle has come to mind."
"What's the matter?" Kidd frowned.
"It probably has nothing to do with you," the cloaked man said. "By the way, would you be interested in showing off your hypnotic gas?"
"Huh?" Kidd was stunned.
"If you don't show your hypnotic gas, then we're going to make a fool of ourselves." The cloaked man looked at Kidd's face and said. "Meet our hypnotic gas. As a friendly reminder, this is not something that can be resisted with a superficial thing like a gas mask. ”
As he said this, a large amount of gas suddenly erupted from the surrounding walls - all of which were spewed out from the original exhaust vents, so Qian Yu had not noticed these devices before.
"So what do we do?" Qian Yu asked. "Maybe you have defenses, but we don't!"
"You're immune to this," the cloaked man said lightly. "Remember the cake Officer Nakamori invited the two of you to eat yesterday? The cake has been mixed with a long-acting antidote to this hypnotic ingredient, in doses sufficient to neutralize three times the total dose of hypnotic active ingredient that you may inhale and come into contact with while running. ”
"Cake ......" Qian Yu was surprised. Odorless immunology? ”
"It's not tasteless," Conan replied. "It's just that the smell of the cake is too strong to cover it up - if you eat the cake with me in the same room, the smell of Chinese medicine there is strong enough to offset the anomaly that you can taste when you eat the cake."
"Yes, indeed," Gray Plains said lightly. "I did feel a little strange yesterday, but I just didn't pursue it."
"If that's the case......" Kidd the Strange Thief glanced at the smoke that kept filling in. Then I can only dodge it, or I'll be in big trouble. Luckily, this thing is obviously heavier, so ......"
Behind him, a hook flew out again, grabbed a point of borrowing power above, and flew into the air with Kidd.
