I'm in Detective Conan, and the system has appointed Batman.

Chapter 203 The Zoo's Secret Scheme
“Hakuba Saguru has been tracking my movements. I wasn’t sure before, but now I’m certain of it.”

"I will use this miracle of resurrection to lure Hakuba Saguru to the Canadian region, where I will personally eliminate him to prevent future troubles and make it easier for me to return to Tokyo for revenge later."

The world's most famous illusionist, Günter von Goldberg II, reported the information to headquarters.

Unlike most ordinary members of mysterious organizations who can only handle guns.

Günter von Goldberg II was a genuine member of the superpowered class. Although he insisted that it was pure illusion, the other man had already seen through it and granted him various privileges.

—His rewards far exceeded those of a typical organized assassin, and he also gained a public identity.

This is already a great privilege.

Since that gentleman had already given him such preferential treatment, he naturally wouldn't care whether Hakuba Saguru lived or died. Even if Hakuba Superintendent General was to die, he would die anyway.

There is no difference.

You know what you're doing; you don't need to tell me.

The gentleman gave an unexpected answer.

The illusionist assassin immediately revealed a victorious smile.

However, the smile didn't last long.

Is Hakuba Saguru important?

No, Hakuba Saguru is unimportant. He's just a high school detective, even if he's famous in England, he's nothing more than someone Hakuba can get rid of at any time.

The important thing is that Batman in Tokyo, that man.

—That was a pretty scary guy.

He had never seen anyone break through his illusions with sheer willpower, never.

"How can I make the bats pay the price...?"

"The illusionist spider said in a low voice."

Killing is easy.

But killing bats is difficult.

He knew nothing about Bat's true identity or whereabouts, and even if he wanted to use the sniping methods he had always looked down on, he couldn't do it. Besides, the famous assassin Scrooge, whom the organization had recently tried to recruit, had also failed in front of Bat.

Perhaps it's time to find some other foreign aid.

For example... other witches similar to that Scarlet Witch?

"The plan to assassinate Phantom Thief Kid cannot be delayed."

"I, Snake, will carry out this plan and completely annihilate Phantom Thief Kid!"

One of the codename assassins of the mysterious organization.

Snake was wearing a sinister smile as he stared intently at the news report.

He knew why Kaito Kid always made such a public appearance.

It's simply a matter of drawing out their mysterious organization.

Let them attack Kaito Kid again, so that Kaito Kid can seize their veil of mystery and tear it off.

But even if you knew...

So what?

The mysterious organization doesn't care about these trivial matters.

Since Phantom Thief Kid was willing to expose this flaw to lure them in, wouldn't it be a waste for them not to take the bait?

They can make many mistakes, but Kaito Kid can only make one.

That guy who dances on the edge of a knife.

Sooner or later, I will lose my balance and fall hard, landing on a mountain of knives and being pierced to pieces!

"Hmph hmph hmph, hahahaha, hahahahahaha—" "Why are there two Phantom Thief Kid announcement letters?"

Snake was bewildered.

Suddenly, another breaking news item popped up in the news feed.

This is a teaser letter from Maki Juri, a famous actress in the Cosmic Theater.

"Josephine? Phantom Thief Kid would steal the Destiny Stone from the Space Theater?"

"Wait a minute, shouldn't Phantom Thief Kid be stealing the Emerald Emperor from the Suzuki Foundation's exhibition hall?"

"Why send two notices at once? Could it be that Phantom Thief Kid has already realized that I will target him during this heist, and is deliberately using this as a smokescreen to mislead me?!"

Snake couldn't help but gasp.

As expected of Phantom Thief Kid, his schemes are incredibly far-reaching.

Unfortunately, you've run into my famous Snake; you're in big trouble now.

Even if he wasn't a genetic clone of a legendary figure, taking down Kaito Kid would be a piece of cake!
"I am the master of the Phantom Thief Kid's domain. Do you think you can fool me?"

Snake compared the two notices he had just copied back and forth.

Finally, his gaze sharpened.
"It should be the Cosmic Theater!"

"The 'Destiny Gem' announcement is the real announcement that Phantom Thief Kid is going to send out!"

"I'll set up a sniper rifle on the building next door that day. If I don't snipe you, Phantom Thief Kid, down, I'll start all over again as a trainee!"

------

"Bats...it's bats again."

"It's always been my mysterious organization that commits murders and frames others to take the blame. I never thought that this time, my mysterious organization would actually be the one taking the blame for someone else... Hmph, are you a freak dressed like Batman?"

The man from the mysterious organization snorted coldly.

If it weren't for finding the Pandora's Stone that could grant immortality, that would be the most important thing right now.

He really wanted to send people over there and take down this freak who dared to impersonate one of his assassins!
They put the matter of the bats aside and stopped paying attention to it.

He closed his eyes, leaned back in the sofa chair, and reminisced about the past.

—After searching for so many years.

He already harbored some doubts about whether the Pandora Stone truly existed.

Even magical prophecies can only provide vague information such as the Pandora Stone being hidden inside a certain gem.

Fortunately, there have been some signs recently that the Pandora Stone has been found.

That's a gem that can grant someone the power to live forever!
Thinking of this, the man's eyes became eager.

As long as you get Pandora's Stone.

When the Comet Bore streaks across the sky, point the Pandora Stone at the Comet, and a drop of Pandora's Tear, containing the power of immortality, will fall!

If he manages to preserve this tear of Pandora and even thoroughly study it, then...

He would then possess an endless supply of Pandora's Tears. At that time, having mastered the source of immortality, he would be the true master of this world, and all the powerful and wealthy from any country would have to bow down to him!

The man from the mysterious organization had already made up his mind.

What should be done if Pandora's Tears is mass-produced?

Let's build a pond.

He wanted to imbue the pool with the mysterious power to grant people immortality, thereby showcasing the immense power and capabilities of the mysterious organization. At the same time, he also wanted to add a special slow-acting toxin to the pool water.

This way, he could bring everyone who consumed Pandora's Tears under his control.

"The advantage is mine!"
