Oritis in the world of Detective Conan

Chapter 261: Melodi Family Birthday Party (Part 1)

Jack's claw blade clashed with Fan Wujiu's black umbrella, neither of them paying attention to anything else, concentrating on the fight. Meanwhile, the prophet hesitated as the priest pulled him back.

Finally, there is Toru Amuro, who is still avoiding the sculptor's statue. He feels that he and the lady in the wheelchair are natural enemies. At the Azoth Library, the auction, and now, every time he is humiliated, she always appears.

However, during these confrontations, Toru Amuro also discovered some limitations of the sculptor's abilities. For example, one of the two statues can only move horizontally, and the other can only move vertically. There is also a limit on the number of statues. After hitting obstacles on the field a few times, they will shatter into a pile of powder.

Another thing to know is the high-speed statue that is created when two statues merge into one. The combined statue is even faster and will rush directly towards people with a very strong impact. If you don't dodge it, you will definitely die or be injured.

Toru Amuro judged that the abilities of this woman in a wheelchair would be better utilized in a narrow room or a place with many obstacles, so the best way to fight her was to walk in an open space, keep a distance, and leave enough reaction time.

Sure enough, it was much easier to dodge the statues this way, and since he was quite skilled, he could consider finding an opportunity to get close to the target and disable it. Amuro Toru thought this as he dodged the statues and slowly approached the sculptor, preparing to destroy the wheelchair she was sitting on.

But the sculptor had anticipated this. "Mr. Public Security, do you think I don't know what you're planning?"

A golden flash suddenly appeared. Amuro Toru watched as the sculptor, who was originally some distance away from him, moved a long way towards him. The wheels of the wheelchair were about to run over his face. At the same time, he also saw the carving knife gradually getting bigger in his eyes.

Oh no, I'm afraid I'll have to take it head-on this time and not get stabbed in the vitals. Amuro Toru reacted quickly, raising his arm to block the carving knife.

The next second, Toru Amuro suddenly felt his body swinging in the air, and then he moved away from the sculptor again.

"Well done, Emil." The psychologist stepped out from the shadows, his silver whistle in hand.

Toru Amuro recognized these two people as the couple who performed the Silver Knight and the Fairy of the Lake at the Golden Rose Theater. They seemed to be standing on the opposite side of the lady in the wheelchair.

The sculptor was very excited when he saw the psychologist. "Ms. Godwin! No, no, it should be Ms. Mesmer. You made me look so hard. I have missed you day and night since the last free clinic."

"If Mr. Melody hadn't told me your true identity, I might have missed out on a perfect embryo! I can't wait to get you into my pocket!"

The patient immediately stood in front of the psychologist and said, "Go away! Ada is mine, and belongs only to me. No one can hurt my Ada!"

"Then I will grind you into pulp first, and then take Ms. Mesmer away!" The sculptor waved the carving knife and fought with the patient.

The knight who arrived later happened to witness this scene. He came up to the psychologist and complained, "Is there a third person involved in your relationship with Emil?"

"Shut up, Richard!" the psychologist told the knight to shut up in a bad mood.

At this moment, Toru Amuro felt as if he had moved from the set of a martial arts film to the stage of a romantic soap opera, a particularly nonsensical and melodramatic one.

"You guys in Group Zero are so abstract. You're probably the only one with a sane mind among the five of you."

"Oh? Are the people in the third group mentally normal? A group of people who need to see a doctor, you are no exception. It's a pity that our doctors are not good at psychiatric treatment."

"I think our Group A is more normal than Group B. Drama is much more interesting than pantomime."

"That's your biggest problem. Would a normal person consider that situation a performance?"

"I have my reservations. I heard the eighth group will be complete soon, and then there will be new performances to watch."

As Toru Amuro listened to the conversation between the psychologist and the knight, he became interested in the group assignments of the Oritis organization. This was a name he had never heard of, and the mercenary had never revealed this to him before.

"What should we do with the prophet and the priest? They seem to want to run away~" The knight weighed the helmet in his hand and said nonchalantly.

"Then why don't you stop them? You are the man who has the potential to surpass Sabeda. Come on, King Richard." The psychologist kicked the knight in front of the prophet and the priest.

Amuro Toru was shocked. Could this person's strength actually compete with that mercenary?

Seeing the knight coming, the prophet subconsciously pulled the priest behind him and said: "Mr. Richard, we no longer intend to be your enemy. Please at least let Fiona leave."

The priest pulled the prophet back with some dissatisfaction: "Why bother trying to reason with him? This guy's position in the action team is almost as high as Naib's. Look at how arrogant he is!"

The knight coughed lightly and said, "You two seniors are both aces in the logistics team. I'm just a newcomer who has made a name for myself in the operations team. Why are you so prejudiced against me?"

"Besides, Mr. Clark, you shouldn't have forgotten why you came to the Oritis Manor. It doesn't seem like it was to play house with the Melody family."

"Do you want me to repeat the name of the merchant who deceived you? Mr. Van der Gauche used your abilities to reduce his business losses, but then you were cursed for betraying your faith. How much longer can Melody tolerate that vague prophecy?"

Amuro Toru's eyes lit up. Prophecy and curse? Then this must be the reason why the Melody family always predicts the enemy's moves. However, he didn't expect it to be such an unscientific method as "prophecy".

"I'm sorry, I can't leave. If I lose the 'prophecy', Mr. Melody's behavior will become uncontrollable. As long as my 'prophecy' is still useful to Mr. Melody, everything can remain the same..."

At this time, Conan rushed to the scene and heard everything the prophet said, and he immediately understood the prophet's intention.

Previously, the sorcerer said that the prophet was a very kind person, but he was working for the brutal Melodi family. So the most likely possibility was that the prophet was trying to mediate the conflict between the two parties.

As long as the Melodi family believes in the prophet's predictions, the prophet can use his predictions to prevent the Melodi family from participating in some vicious fights and prevent most of the bloodshed. At the same time, because the Melodi family has indeed gained benefits, they will no longer doubt the authenticity of the prophecy, thus achieving a virtuous circle.

But are the Melodi family really that easily deceived? Desi Melodi is not a soft-hearted person. Once the prophet's behavior is exposed, he will be exploited for his surplus value and abandoned.

From the conversation just now, it can be seen that the priests should know the inside story, so they advised the prophet to leave quickly. Moreover, they all called the prophet "Mr. Clark" instead of "Sephiroth Melody", which shows that they recognized the prophet's original identity more than his identity as the adopted son of the Melody family.
