Chapter 12 Ball Lightning
Wow!
The tall and thin man who was pushed down by the big dog crashed directly into the mesh bucket beside the wall, knocking the volleyballs stored in the bucket all over the floor.
Conan quickly walked to the girl, peeled off the tape on her mouth, and whispered, "It's okay now."
The little girl looked puzzled: "Who are you?"
"Kudo... No!"
Conan originally subconsciously wanted to say his own name, but he quickly reacted.
"My name is Edogawa Conan, and I am a detective!"
"Are you a detective?" The little girl blinked, tears welling up in the corners of her eyes, looking frightened.
At this moment, there was a bang and a shadow of a stick flashed by. The big dog that had pounced on the man was hit away by a baseball bat and fell heavily to the ground.
"Ouch!"
The big dog howled in pain, not daring to continue pestering, and ran out of the warehouse in a hurry, like a stray dog.
The tall and thin man sneered, stood up, holding a silver baseball bat in his hand, and looked down at Conan.
"Damn little devil, stop looking down on others!"
After saying that, he took the baseball bat in his hand and swung it at Conan.
Conan quickly jumped up, dodged the attack, and then kicked out, aiming for the opponent's head.
This move is Conan's signature move. Before he became smaller, he had no idea how many criminals he had subdued with this move.
However, he seemed to have forgotten that his body had become smaller and his strength had become weak. He was no match for the tall and thin man.
The tall and thin man quickly stretched out his arm, grabbed Conan's leg, and threw him hard against the wall.
boom!
Conan, who had no ability to resist, crashed directly into a pile of footballs. If it weren't for the footballs acting as a cushion, he might have been injured.
“Ouch, that hurts…”
Conan struggled to stand up, his face full of resignation: "Damn it, because my body has become smaller, I can't use any strength at all!"
At this moment, he saw a football by the wall out of the corner of his eye and kicked it directly, hitting the man in the face.
Something unexpected happened. The man simply stretched out his arm and easily caught the speeding football.
"No, I've lost the strength to kick the ball..."
boom!
Conan had just reacted when his eyes blurred and he was hit in the stomach by a baseball bat. He flew out and hit the wall again.
This time, there was no football behind him to cushion the force, and he hit the wall head-on. It was so painful that he couldn't stand up for a long time.
"The game is over, little brat."
The tall and thin man grinned, raised the baseball bat high, and prepared to hit Conan on the head.
Seeing this scene, the little girl next to her screamed in fear: "Stop it!"
Conan's eyes widened in horror.
Is it really coming to an end?
At this moment…
"Show me here!"
Suddenly, an angry shout was heard outside the warehouse door.
"what?"
The tall and thin man was startled again, his attack was interrupted, and the baseball bat in his hand stopped in mid-air.
"What's going on? One by one, the troublemakers keep coming..."
He took back the baseball bat and looked out the door with gritted teeth.
Conan and the little girl also looked over curiously.
The next moment, Conan was stunned because he had recognized the identity of the person.
"Why is it him..."
At this moment, a petite figure about 1.2 meters tall stood outside the door, looking at the entire warehouse with pride on her face.
This figure was none other than Aragaki Sawaha, who had just left the doctor's house!
"Damn, another little devil!" After seeing the other person's appearance clearly, the tall and thin man just breathed a sigh of relief, and then became angry again.
There wasn't even an adult here, and two little kids came in succession. Are they looking down on him?
How abominable!
The tall and thin man smiled disdainfully, looked at Conan, and said in a mocking tone: "Is this your friend? Is he here to save you?"
"You..." Conan swallowed and shouted in panic: "Why are you here? Get out of here!"
"Just tell Xiaolan what happened here, don't worry about me!"
Aragaki Zeyu curled his lips in an impatient expression: "But I refuse."
"Little devil! Don't even think about running away!" The tall and thin man waved the baseball bat in his hand and roared, "I'm going to kill you!"
Hearing this, Ze Yu placed his right palm under his left elbow, then touched his forehead with his left hand, with a hint of helplessness in his eyes.
"Oh my, this is really..."
He started to get serious and spoke solemnly.
"Have you ever heard of 'ball lightning'?"
The tall and thin man looked a little confused, while Conan seemed to be thinking about something.
Sawaba explained slowly: "Ball lightning, commonly known as 'rolling thunder', usually occurs during thunderstorms. It is a spherical lightning with a diameter ranging from about 15 to 40 centimeters. In addition to the common white and orange, there are also red, yellow, purple, blue, and dark green halos, showing a variety of colors."
"Ball lightning travels very slowly, usually about 18 kilometers per hour, but it can also travel very fast, reaching speeds of more than 20,000 kilometers per hour."
After saying that, Ze Yu looked at the tall and thin man opposite with a mocking expression.
"Asshole!" The tall and thin man's expression became more and more ferocious: "What on earth do you want to say!"
"Haven't you figured it out yet? Idiot..."
Ze Yu became expressionless and looked at the other person as if he was looking at a dead person.
"Your surroundings are already filled with 'ball lightning'!"
As soon as the words fell, the entire warehouse lit up with bright lights.
They were balls of lightning, in various colors, constantly jumping around in the warehouse.
Crackling!
The lightning and thunder visible to the naked eye had filled the entire warehouse without anyone noticing.
Just as Ze Yu said just now, ball lightning comes in many colors, red, white, blue, purple... almost every color.
At this moment, the entire warehouse was filled with colorful and dazzling electric balls. They looked beautiful but contained deadly dangers.
"What... is going on? This is impossible!"
The tall and thin man took several steps back in fear, his face full of horror, his mouth wide open, and even the hands holding the baseball bat were shaking.
"It's fake, it must be fake! Damn little devil, don't lie to me!"
"go to hell!"
The tall and thin man took a deep breath, suppressed his inner uneasiness, and with a fierce look in his eyes and a baseball bat tightly grasped in both hands, he suddenly rushed towards Ze Yu.
Seeing this, Ze Yu shook his head helplessly.
"It's just a dying struggle."
"Take it." He snapped his fingers lightly: "Spherical lightning with a radius of ten meters."
With a snap of the fingers, the spherical lightning in the entire warehouse gathered together madly and attacked the tall and thin man.
boom! ! !
The surging electric light filled the entire warehouse like a wave.
After a moment, the lightning faded and the warehouse fell into darkness again.
"........."
Conan sat on the ground in silence. He felt like his eyes were going blind.
Not only physically, but also psychologically.
