As soon as Dao Yuan Shun confirmed the Dao Source, even Suzuki Ponzu fell into hesitation.
She didn't know what to do next!
If things continued to happen, she wondered if the banquet should continue.
What if more people died?
But Dao Yuan Shun didn't give Suzuki Ponzu any choice.
The reason was simple!
The lights on the banquet hall started flickering again.
Although some people assumed the previous incident was due to illness, there was still some panic in their hearts.
Even Conan felt a bit uneasy!
Of course, Conan was more inclined to believe this was a signal from the culprit to act again.
The high school detective didn't believe in supernatural powers.
But then!
"There's fog coming in?!"
"What's going on?!"
.
Suddenly, many guests noticed the thick fog.
Some looked outside the cruise ship.
They discovered the fog had enveloped the surrounding area.
Or rather, the cruise ship had sailed into a patch of fog.
The next moment, the lights completely dimmed.
"Ah!!"
No one could remain calm anymore.
Especially Dao Yuan Shun could feel two hands grabbing him.
It was Kudo Yukiko and Vermouth.
Compared to the other guests, they were aware of the existence of supernatural forces.
Therefore, they were quite nervous.
To Dao Yuan Shun's surprise, Kudo Yukiko's anxiety was understandable.
After all, she was just a retired actress.
On the other hand, Vermouth's reaction was a bit unusual.
He wasn't sure if it was a facade.
But it was none of Dao Yuan Shun's business.
The fog quickly transitioned from light to dense.
Visibility in the entire ballroom was reduced to a few meters.
The guests started leaning against the walls and gathering in one spot.
Dao Yuan Shun did not stand out and chose a spot near a wall.
"Why is there so much fog at sea?"
"It can't even be stopped by the windows and doors."
"This weather is so eerie."
...
Many guests couldn't help but speak out, their voices filled with panic.
Soon, the fog filled the entire ballroom.
The lights were completely extinguished!
Combined with the panicked voices, the environment created an even greater sense of fear.
There were only a few who could remain calm!
Conan was one of them. The young detective furrowed his brows, puzzled.
No matter how thick the fog was, it shouldn't have been able to enter the ballroom.
The lights were also a problem.
There should have been backup power on such a high-end cruise ship.
The lights went out and didn't come back on.
The problem was serious!
Although Conan thought someone might be playing tricks, the fog didn't feel fake.
Could it be a coincidence?!
Someone else was also pondering this question among the crowd.
That was Kuroba Kaito!
The phantom thief had his own plan.
But before he could put his plan into action, the cruise ship had an incident.
The incident was bizarre.
He couldn't quite figure it out either.
Originally, Kuroba Kaito was going to follow his original plan.
Now, he wanted to see what was going on.
However, at that moment, everyone vaguely saw a special figure hidden in the fog.
Suddenly, a scream pierced through the air.
"Ghost!!"
"Don't come near me!!"
...
Everyone was stunned for a moment.
The already chaotic scene became even more chaotic.
Conan was the quickest to react, immediately running towards the source of the sound.
But when he arrived, the voice had stopped.
He saw a body lying in a pool of blood.
"How is this possible?!"
Even Conan couldn't help but exclaim.
It had only been ten seconds from hearing the sound to arriving at the scene.
And something had happened!
On the other side, Kuroba Kaito also followed Conan to the scene.
He was equally surprised!
He didn't expect another incident to occur.
Mori Kogoro and the others followed closely behind.
"Everyone be careful."
"Someone else has died."
"The culprit must be hiding in the fog."
...
Mori Kogoro immediately made his judgment and shouted, drowning out the panic.
Under normal circumstances, such a judgment would be correct.
Unfortunately, this time was unusual!
However, these words did not help the people present.
Instead, they only heightened their fear!
