Oritis in the world of Detective Conan

Chapter 106: The Voyage of Oceanus (Part 9)

The composer ignored the novelist's ugly expression and continued, "You can give everything for Alice, so I can certainly do the same for my pursuit."

"So it's your pursuit of music?" The novelist gave a bitter look. "I thought you'd stopped thinking about it since your family was destroyed in the fire."

"Because of this damn disease, my family considers me the son of the devil." The composer pulled back his sleeves, revealing the strange red markings. "They say I'm cursed, and my music and talent are not recognized."

"I was forced to leave Austria for France. They said it was for further studies, but it was essentially exile. How would people there view me? They only cared about my appearance; no one cared about what I was pursuing."

"What about your mother Amalia? And your aunt Lady Mary? They are all sincere to you!"

"Yes, my mother is so kind, but she was rejected by my father because she gave birth to someone like me. As for Aunt Mary, she was also sent to France as a tool for marriage."

"Why do such kind people always get treated so harshly by fate?" The composer's face gradually turned grim. "Isn't it the same with Alice?"

The composer mocked the novelist: "You finally met the person you were looking for, and then lost her at the happiest moment."

The novelist's expression turned even uglier. "So you were the one who set the fire at the Krebberg family home? I remember it was originally their family gathering."

"Yes, my mother has long since passed away, and my aunt has married far away. What is there left in this family worth clinging to? I just need to lock the doors and windows, light the stove, and everything will be over."

[Explorer: Is it true that Florian didn't write this script?]

[Fire Investigator: Huh? Didn't Matthias burn down his own house?]

[Ms. Farrow: Just a reminder, Matthias also burned himself.]

[Puppeteer: ? ]

[Cowboy: That guitar...]

[Hitter: It's not my house I'm burning down!]

"After that, I met the people of Oritis, who invited me to join them. There, I met a musician who had devoted his body and soul to the devil. His music was simply unparalleled, and that was what I wanted to pursue."

[Violinist: Hehe.]

[Painter: It seems that all of us artists here have some quirks.]

[Sculptor: Tsk.]

Novelist: "That's a road of no return. Alice was harmed by them, wasn't she?"

"That's your problem, not mine." The composer's expression gradually regained its composure. "You've done a lot for Alice, too."

"I think little Alice should be having dinner at Delos Manor now? Will Norton tell her a bedtime story later?"

[Explorer:?]

[Entomologist: I can't quite imagine you sitting by the bed and telling stories to little Alice.]

[Little girl: Alice can sleep by herself.]

Conan's focus is obviously on the toxins and the truth of the shipwreck twenty-five years ago. He has guessed that one of the reasons for the shipwreck was that Professor Brownlee came into contact with these poisonous jellyfish and had hallucinations under the influence of the toxins, pointing out the wrong path. Professor Schelling should have tried to stop it, but ultimately failed.

It seems that what the cartographer said is indeed true. "Curse" refers to poisoning, and "ghost" and "noise" refer to the fog and the sound of waves on the sea that have been distorted by the toxin.

The mercenaries had eaten the most food on the ship, and no matter how strong their physique was, they were about to collapse. "So, the DM wanted these strong hallucinogenic toxins. I was really careless."

Subaru Okiya was supporting the mercenary. He could feel that the mercenary's limbs had begun to tremble and were gradually losing control.

"I think I've passed this assessment. Even a veteran of the action team couldn't stop me." The composer chuckled. He held the gun in one hand and pulled out the sealed jellyfish sample from his chest with the other. "That's it."

Just when the composer was feeling proud, two cards flew out, one knocked the gun out of his hand, and the other knocked the sample out of his hand.

Kaito Kid picked up the sample and said, "Oh, I finally got it. It was hidden so well."

Taking advantage of the composer's lack of a gun, the novelist rushed forward and grabbed him with a clamp: "Calm down, Klayberg!"

"I'm very calm." The composer's expression did not change as he stabbed the portable syringe in his pocket into the novelist's hand.

The injected toxin took effect quickly and the novelist fell to the ground.

[Explorer: Oh, Orpheus is tired and lying on the ground to rest?]

[Entomologist: Given your drug resistance, I can't think of any drug that can infect you.]

[Bartender: If he was really drugged, it would be a nightmare, not a real one.]

[Crying Clown: It's really convenient to have two personalities to switch between.]

[Professor: You are right.]

"Mr. Orpheus!" Conan watched in shock as the composer completely disregarded their old friendship and attacked the novelist.

The composer ignored Conan and turned to Kaito Kidd. "Mr. Kaito, let me remind you that we are at sea here. Your hang glider will probably be of no use."

"It's hard to say." Kaito Kidd threw a smoke bomb directly. When the smoke dissipated, everyone saw Kidd with his glider opened and flew off the deck.

The composer frowned. "A childish trick. It's just a dummy."

At this time, Subaru Okiya also tried to rush forward to control the composer, but a hook that broke through the air blocked his way.

The mercenary's eyes widened in disbelief: "Why is he here..."

Conan looked at the source of the hook. It was a monster made entirely of steel. Red energy flowed through the pipes on his body. His eyes glowed red, and he was waving the hook in his hand, aiming at the next target.

"It seems that Mr. DM has other plans. I won't get involved." The composer dragged the novelist away from the battlefield.

The Deer Head (Steampunk) swung the hook and rushed towards Conan. Conan had no time to react and could only watch the hook getting closer and closer to him.

"Get out of the way!" The mercenary on the side forced himself to stand up and held Conan in his arms.

"Mr. Naib!" Conan felt something warm liquid splashed on his face. It turned out that the deer head's hook pierced the mercenary's chest.

"Cough cough cough." The mercenary coughed up some blood. "I'm very strong and I won't die."

Deer Head tried to pull the hook back, but the mercenary held it firmly: "Now!"

Understanding the mercenary's intention, Subaru Okiya immediately attacked Shikato, but Shikato decisively gave up the grappling hook and engaged in hand-to-hand combat with Subaru Okiya.

Conan knew that Okiya Subaru would not be able to hold out for long against such an iron monster. Just as he was getting extremely anxious, he saw in the distance what seemed to be another ship coming towards them through the thick fog.

Before Conan could see clearly, a voice sounded above his head: "Naib, we are here to support!"

Then several figures appeared in front of Conan.
