"Almost there."
In Edo Street, after confirming by phone that "Carly" would send an action team to support them, Toru Amuro, Reina Mizuna and Conan rushed to the movie theater as quickly as possible.
This is the only movie theater in Edo Street. It adopts a European Gothic-style dome design and looks like a Western cathedral.
"It seems we are the first to get there."
Finally stopping, Toru Amuro carefully observed the surroundings of the cinema hall, but did not notice anyone ambushing here.
"These guys are coming so slowly..."
It seems that those from the FBI arrived later than them.
"Would you like to wait outside for a moment?" Conan asked.
"Changes will happen later." After thinking about it, Toru Amuro rejected his proposal and said: "Let's go in first, since we are all in this Edo Street anyway, no matter how late it is, it won't be too late.
What's more, Regel is a person who doesn't play by common sense. I'm worried that if the delay continues, he may move his position again... Kiel, what do you think? "
As Toru Amuro said, he turned to look at Reina Mizuna.
Shui Wulian didn't know what he was thinking, and was a little dazed. After hearing his question, he raised his head and looked at him, nodded, and subconsciously had a smile on his face.
"good."
It's just that her smile seems forced...
"Don't be nervous. I think there aren't many members of the organization that Regel has brought in this time. Even if there is any trap, the two of us can handle it."
Just thinking that she was worried about being plotted by Regel, Toru Amuro also smiled and comforted her.
After saying that, Toru Amuro looked at Conan and suddenly thought of something.
"Ah, by the way Conan, I have to wrong you first."
In Conan's confused eyes, Toru Amuro tore off a strip of cloth from his shirt and tied his hands.
“After all, the order that Kil and I received was to bring Shirley back, and Shirley couldn’t just follow us obediently.
I'll tie your hands first, at least to make a show, so that Regel doesn't see the flaw..."
"Okay." After understanding what he meant, Conan didn't say anything and simply asked Amuro Toru to tie his hands.
"Then let's go."
After checking the pistols and bullets on their bodies for the last time, Toru Amuro and Reina Mizuna took Conan into the movie hall.
"..."
Entering the gate of the cinema hall, you first see a circular corridor surrounding the periphery. There are entrance doors at regular intervals in the corridor.
Entering through the door is the screening room in the center of the domed building, which is also the only screening room in the cinema hall.
The screening room is quite large, with neat rows of bright red velvet seats lowering from the outside inward, and a large white screen on the platform in the center.
At this time, warm yellow lights were on in the screening room, and there was no one around. The surroundings were so quiet that only the slight footsteps of the three people could be heard.
This surprised Toru Amuro.
He originally thought that Regel himself would be waiting for them in the screening room, or at least someone would arrange something, but he didn't expect that there was no one there.
For a moment, a strong feeling of falling into a trap suddenly came to mind, but Toru Amuro temporarily suppressed this thought.
Because someone must have been in this movie hall.
The reason is the warm yellow light that lights up in the screening room at this time.
He clearly remembered that in today's celebration plan in Edo Street, there was no part of using the movie theater, so normally, this movie theater must be idle today.
So, who turned on all the lights here?
Tourists who fled here to take shelter?
Impossible. If that were the case, those tourists would definitely want people outside not to notice this place. How could they deliberately turn on the lights to be conspicuous?
Therefore, it is only possible that someone like them came here with some special purpose, but was worried about being plotted, and did not want to simply show up, but also wanted to show them that he had come here, a favorite. People who play with reality.
Such as Regel.
Thinking of this, Toru Amuro didn't feel anxious anymore. He didn't bother to think too much, so he took out his cell phone and sent a text message to Regel.
【Here we are. 】
Anyway, it was Regel who was anxious to catch Shirley, not him. Now that "Shirley" was right in front of him, Regel must be more anxious than him.
"Suddenly I realized that this place is similar to that of the past."
At the same time, Reina Mizuna, who was standing behind Toru Amuro, suddenly spoke.
"Huh? When?" After sending the text message, Toru Amuro asked without looking back.
"Scotland."
After Mizuno Reina finished speaking, Toru Amuro was stunned for a moment, his expression a little stiff, but he soon adjusted.
"Why are you talking about this all of a sudden?"
With that said, Toru Amuro put away his mobile phone and began to carefully examine the environment in the screening room.
Although he didn't say it on the surface, in fact, he was a little worried that Regel might have dug a trap for them.
Therefore, taking advantage of the short gap before Regel responded, Toru Amuro decided to check the screening room first.
But if dozens of strong men in black suddenly appeared and shot the two people to death, it would be a really painful death...
"I, you, and this closed space, aren't they the same as back then?"
Watching Toru Amuro check under the seats one by one, Reina Mizuna spoke again:
"People's fate is really wonderful. It was at that time that we got to know each other. I never thought at the time that after all this time, we would reach this similar step again."
Her tone was very emotional, also filled with helplessness and lamentation.
"Don't talk nonsense." Toru Amuro still turned his back to her and retorted with a smile: "I don't think it is the case at all. In the situation at that time, we had no choice but to be forced to stumble forward.
But now, we not only have our own choice in our hands, but also have the assistance of the FBI. We can make our own decision on what to do next. Even if we fail, we will have enough confidence to get out.
Instead of just watching things develop in the worst direction like at that time, but unable to save..."
From Toru Amuro's perspective, he didn't say anything wrong, because this was indeed what he saw.
A powerful ally, the weak Regel, a critical blow that can severely damage the black organization...
In his opinion, what they were facing now was not only not the desperate situation they were in before, but on the contrary, it was a blessed place where they could immediately avenge their lost friends.
However, in Shui Wu Lina's eyes, the situation the two of them were facing now was no different from the original situation.
She was still the same Bourbon and Kiel who was forced into the abandoned warehouse by Regel and had to pull the trigger on Scotland.
Only this time, Toru Amuro became the new "Scotland".
