[Group Conan] The organization is called the Fifth Personality

Ethan, the guardian behind the Amy Auction, is a person that the US government fears. The potion was born in his research institute.

Of course, he knows how important the potion is, but the news has been leaked. If the potion is kept in the research institute, it will only be "harassed" by various organizations as it was some time ago. Some unethical organizations even want to jointly sanction his other businesses.

His research institute has been studying the potion for a while, but there is no progress at all. They still don't know what causes the potion to have such incredible efficacy. You know, the scientists in the research institute are almost the top technology hired by him at high salaries.

Ethan is confident that if his own research institute can't produce results, then others can't either. It's better to sell this trouble and reap a fortune in the end.

As for the small actions of organizations in various countries, he chooses to turn a blind eye and focus on protecting the potion. If they have the ability to obtain the potion by improper means, then he will admit defeat.

A turbulent night passed.

At the Amy Auction, the crowd was surging and lively. Many wealthy businessmen and high-ranking officials lined up in an orderly manner, patiently waiting to enter.

The reception staff carefully checked the information of each invitation letter to ensure that there was no mistake, and then respectfully invited the guests to enter.

Soon, Maori Kogoro and his party also walked into the venue smoothly. His invitation letter allowed him to bring three people besides him, and Dr. Agasa had already stated that he would not come to the auction, so Kitagawa Anshu simply used his invitation letter to enter.

Although their seats were a little bit behind, because the height of the entire venue was cleverly designed, sitting in this position would not have much impact on watching the auction table in front.

After everyone sat down, Conan began to chat with Kitagawa Anshu.

"Hey! Isn't that Mochizuki-san? She's here too." Maori Ran said, looking at the direction of Mochizuki Sue in the front rows, "Hinata-san is here too."

Conan nodded, "It's them indeed."

He felt guilty about Mochizuki Sue the most, because the few times he met her, there were always times when he felt that his identity seemed to be exposed.

Maori Kogoro glanced over there, "I saw them long before I got on the plane."

"Ah-then why didn't you say it earlier? That way we can say hello to them."

"You suddenly forgot something."

In the corner on the other side, Amuro Toru tried to reduce his presence as much as possible. He looked ahead expressionlessly, thinking about the next action in his mind.

For the potion, the Black Organization dispatched several code-named members, and only Gin and Vermouth knew the specific plan. He only knew that his mission was to find an opportunity to sneak into the backstage after the organization confirmed that the Shadow had failed, and then create as much chaos as possible.

This mission and news came too suddenly. He knew too late, which was not good for him. But he couldn't give up because of difficulties. He had to find a way to make the Shadow mission fail...

The mechanic was still describing the thrilling flight on the plane the day before yesterday to the antique dealer and the novelist, and they took a deep breath.

"It's so scary!"

[Antique collector (antique dealer): There is nothing for us to do this morning. We can just auction peacefully. Fortunately, the things I want to auction are scheduled in the morning.

Novel creator (novelist): This is my first time to attend an auction. I feel it's quite novel.

I love inventions (mechanic): Me too. By the way, some other students should have taken action now.

...]

As time reached the right time, the auction was about to start. The auctioneer walked onto the stage with a smile and steady steps. He was wearing a sophisticated suit and looked elegant.

The auctioneer came to the center of the stage, where there was a specially set microphone stand. In order to make him better heard when he spoke, he gently picked up the microphone and adjusted the position.

Then, he said in a calm and magnetic voice:

"Dear guests, hello! Welcome to this auction. I am today's auctioneer, and I am very happy to witness this wonderful auction with you.

First of all, please allow me to express my warm welcome to everyone and thank you for your attention and support to this auction.

Secondly, let us welcome Alice Gardner. I believe everyone is familiar with her. She is a new generation actress who is currently attracting much attention in Hollywood. She is now invited to be the guest of this auction. Next, please invite her to the stage to give a speech."

Warm applause resounded throughout the auction, and the slow and elegant classical music sounded at the right time. Behind the curtain, a noble and cold figure loomed.Alice took graceful steps, and her figure gradually became clear.

She was wearing a gorgeous red court dress, the hem of which swayed on the ground. The exquisite embroidery and dazzling gemstone decorations sparkled dazzlingly under the lights.

Her face was as white as snow, her eyes were deep, her long silver-white hair was tied up behind her head, and some broken hair on her forehead did not look messy.

[Popular Actress (Mrs. Red): How about my appearance? Is it okay?

Novel Creator (Novelist): Amazing, too amazing, the dress should be more simple, and then you can grab us with a knife.

I Love Invention (Mechanic): I will frame and hold the flag for you! 】

Alice smiled and stood in front of the microphone: "Hello everyone, I am Alice Gardner, I am honored to be the guest of this auction...

This auction is a charity/commercial auction, which aims to raise funds for people in need, and also provides you with a rare collection and investment opportunity.

Before the auction begins, please allow me to briefly introduce the auction rules and precautions..."

After speaking, Alice paused, her eyes swept across the audience, as if observing the audience's reaction, and then she continued:

"Now, I am very happy to announce that this auction is officially open!"

As soon as the voice fell, there was a warm applause at the scene. The applause lasted for a moment, and then gradually subsided. People focused their attention on the stage, ready to welcome the next exciting moment.

Alice walked off the stage from one side and sat in the exclusive seat prepared for her by the auctioneer. The auctioneer returned to the microphone and prepared to host the next auction.

Except for the mechanics, no one could see a water mirror slowly rising from the curtain. Then, the four staff members who were originally in the backstage appeared in front of Alice.

Behind the auction, Antoine Leclerc and Pierre Duval were patiently waiting. They were agents from the French DGSE. In order not to be suspected, they bought off the two staff members who were originally going to participate in the auction early and replaced them for a few days. Now they finally had to wait for the critical moment.

"Are all the things ready?" Antoine asked about the fake potion and the smoke bombs to be used in the escape. Pierre nodded:

"It's been prepared a long time ago. Now it's hidden in a hidden place. Take it with you in the afternoon."

Across from them, two members from MI6 also huddled together:

"The two opposite don't look like ordinary people. What do you think?"

"Just like you, I think they are probably here for the potion. When the potion is delivered, remember to prevent them from contacting it."

"Well, I'll hold them back and you can switch."

Alice listened to the semi-transparent mirrors in front of her openly. If she hit the mirror at this time, their corresponding bodies would faint uncontrollably.

But now is not the time, she suppressed her eager hands.

Two staff members came out and put the first auction item in the designated location for display. The auctioneer introduced its basic characteristics, origin, historical background and other related information, and then announced the starting price of the auction item. Bidders bid by raising placards, verbal bidding or using electronic bidding equipment.

The auctioneer kept reporting the current highest bid and asked if there was anyone who wanted to bid higher. After three consecutive inquiries, no one chose to bid higher. The auctioneer dropped the hammer and said that the auction item was sold.

After repeating this, it finally came to the Song Dynasty vessel - the green glazed twined vine Du Dan pattern double-eared bottle.

This was the last auction item in the morning. Many people came for it. The competition was quite fierce, but the antique dealer was still slightly better and successfully bought it.

In the toilet not far away, the exhibit manager rarely took the time to go to the toilet. As a result, he was knocked unconscious as soon as he entered. After a while, a man who looked exactly like him walked out of the toilet. He was Shadow, a code-named member of the Black Organization in the United States.

"Vermouth, I have successfully replaced him now." Shadow contacted Vermouth through the headset, and Vermouth reminded him:

"Your personality is quite different from his, be careful not to show off, even if I disguise you to look like him, don't take it lightly. This mission is very important."

"Understood."

At the intersection a few streets away from the Emmy Auction, Lemon Liqueur drove Yamazaki Whiskey and narrowly avoided the billboard that suddenly fell down, and then they had a car accident the next second.

Time went back to two hours ago, the photographer asked his exclusive driver to park the car behind the Emmy Auction, then took out the camera in the trunk, said he wanted to take pictures, and asked the driver to leave first.

WaitThe driver disappeared from sight. He set up the camera and pointed it in a direction, then pressed the photo button. A translucent photo that was about half the length of a person appeared in front of the camera. He took two steps forward through the photo, and in an instant, the world in his eyes became gray.

The world here was the same as the real world. The photographer walked slowly along the roadside to a place where Lemon Liqueur and Yamazaki Whiskey were sitting in the car, and neither of them could see him.

He opened the car door, pulled the two out, and then hit each of them. From the other's head, it can be seen that the health bar was reduced by half. The photographer shot again, and the health bar was completely emptied.

Next, the two guys whose health bars were emptied will encounter a series of unfortunate events in reality, which will last up to three hours.

At this time, because the limit time has been reached, the translucent photo disappears, and the photographer returns to the real world.
