Science Fiction: Starting from Obtaining Sophon

A gunman appeared and fired a shot at the two figures, but the distance was too great and posed no threat.

The gunmen in the crowd also reacted and rushed out to fire downstairs, but it was to no avail. However, the gunfire rekindled their ruthlessness.

"At this point, there's no turning back. Chase after them!"

The first gunman waved his hand and led the group downstairs. Those who had been knocked down earlier were also helped away by their companions.

In the blink of an eye, the once crowded corridor returned to calm.

"I hope the lawyer is safe," Kuriyama Midori finally breathed a sigh of relief, but her worry for Eri Kisaki still left her with a worried expression.

Kogoro and Ran wanted to chase after them, but the battle had taken a huge toll on their stamina, and once they recovered a little, they collapsed to the ground.

It's as if they've just completed a 10-kilometer armed cross-country run, pushing their physical and mental limits.

If they were still holding on, they could have held on for a while longer, but after seeing Eri Kisaki and Gendagawa slide down the ramp, the violent impact left them completely powerless.

The physical and mental exhaustion left the two completely unable to move.

"Ms. Kuriyama, could you please take care of Ran and Uncle Mori? I'm going to check on them." (603)

Shinichi Kudo abandoned Ran and Kogoro and ran straight downstairs.

Shinichi, you shouldn't go!

Ran was extremely anxious. Her mother was facing great danger, but she still had Genda River to protect her. Genda River's abilities tonight gave Ran great confidence.

But why would Shinichi Kudo chase after them? The other side not only outnumbered them but also had many armed thugs. Chasing after them wouldn't help at all!

However, Detective Kudo was never one to listen to advice, and he simply disappeared from Ran's sight.

"Alright, Xiaolan, calm down and recover your strength as soon as possible. Your mother is still waiting for us. As for that kid, let him go if he wants to. After all, he's not someone who can be stopped."

This is also one of the reasons why he dislikes Shin Kudo. It is indeed a good thing to step forward at a critical moment, but one should also act within one's capabilities. Acting impulsively like this will lead to great losses!

After listening to her father's words, Xiaolan could only nod and began to take deep breaths to calm herself down and make her breathing even and calm. The two of them also took out the chocolates that Genda River had distributed to everyone earlier and ate them.

After eating the chocolate, their strength was rapidly recovering.

Just then, outside the building, the sound of a police siren grew louder as it approached…

Meanwhile, Gendagawa and Eri, who had just fallen from the building, faced an even greater crisis.

Chapter Ninety-Three: The Abnormal One

Genda and Eri had just slid down from the building and landed safely. They had just turned into a small alley when Genda instantly sensed a deadly danger.

He gently stretched out his long arms and once again embraced the mature lawyer who had just regained her balance and was still recovering from the rapid fall.

The plane spun rapidly again, but several bullets carrying a scorching heat grazed the two men's cheeks and landed on the surrounding walls.

Genda's heart also raced. If it weren't for Tomoko's reminder and the pre-simulated ballistic trajectory appearing in his mind, he would have been shot and killed by now.

This was also the key to Gendagawa's ability to deal with the situation perfectly before. Sonoko's all-round scanning and holographic image presentation are just like the Byakugan of the Hyuga clan in Naruto, which can observe the surrounding environment from all angles.

At this moment, Zhizi, having recovered more than 5% of the system's computing power, could completely include a 300-meter radius around it in its detection range, and could even simulate and predict the enemy's next move.

Otherwise, given his current physical strength and reaction speed, he would still be in great danger facing a pistol and bullets.

"Haha, that's quite a skill! What a pity."

A figure emerged from the darkness, its massive body seemingly obscuring the moonlight. The dark figure gripped the black muzzle of a gun, appearing incredibly cold in the moonlight. It was none other than Kenji Hōyama.

"It's hard to believe you managed to escape in that situation, but I won't give you the chance."

As he spoke, he raised his hand and pointed the gun at the two of them. Genda's mind tensed up instantly, and his muscles tightened. Eri, who was leaning against him, immediately felt his change and heard the sound of him breathing through his nose and mouth.

In this life-or-death crisis, a surprising calm descended.

Kenjiro Hōyama sneered. "So what if you're good at fighting? Times have changed!"

At their current distance, more than twenty meters apart, and with one person in tow, no matter how much the other struggles, the outcome will not change in the slightest. What a pity.

However, no matter what, it's still better to die.

Just as he was about to pull the trigger, he heard a clear siren and his expression changed drastically.

"Useless! We agreed to cut off communications, how come the police arrived so quickly?!"

Just as he was stunned, a figure appeared beside him like a hurricane, delivering a swift chop to his wrist with a crisp sound of bone breaking.

"Ah—smack—"

A scream rang out, followed by the change of pistol's owner. By the time Kenji Hōyama came to his senses, the dark muzzle of a gun was already pressed against his forehead. The muzzle, still carrying the scorching smell of gunpowder, made his eyelids twitch.

"Mr. Pengshan, it seems we have won this time after all."

Kenji trembled all over. His opponent's strength had ultimately exceeded his expectations. In the moment of his distraction, the opponent struck with unimaginable speed, breaking his wrist, snatching the gun from his hand, and reversing the situation.

He felt utterly despondent. The failure of his mission meant that he had no more options to save his family.

Eri, standing to the side, finally breathed a sigh of relief and regained her composure.

"Mr. Pengshan, what happened tonight is enough for you to spend the rest of your life in prison. I will do everything in my power to make you understand the dignity of the law. Both you and the forces behind you will pay the price!"

Genda also revealed a slight smile, but the next moment, his smile vanished without a trace, and he directly pointed the gun at a direction in the darkness.

"Attorney Fei, be careful! There are still enemies around!"

Before he finished speaking, he leaped out like a cheetah, and the floor tiles beneath his feet made a thud. When he landed again, he saw that several metal balls the size of a thumb were embedded in the tiles.

"Heh heh, no wonder he's the guy who killed the mad dog, his reaction speed is indeed impressive."

From the darkness, a burly, bald man emerged. His fat was clearly visible even through his clothes. As he moved, the flesh on his neck rippled, and the bizarre patterns of his tattoos changed accordingly, making him look utterly disgusting.

He gently tossed several metal balls in his hand, making a clinking sound, as if he were playing some kind of game.

The moment Kenji saw this person, he seemed to have thought of something terrible, and his face turned completely pale.

At this moment, Genda River also felt a great sense of crisis. If it weren't for Tomoko's reminder, he would have almost been unable to avoid those metal balls.

He also felt something was off, because in the scene presented by Tomoko, when the bald man appeared, Shinichi Kudo was hiding to the side, but before he could react, he was knocked unconscious by the bald man with a casual blow.

This famous detective seems to be faking comas quite frequently lately.

"Those metal balls weren't launched using any gadgets; they were thrown directly by hand. To unleash the power of a handgun with just his bare hands—this person's strength is terrifying."

He pointed his pistol directly at the other party. It would be foolish not to use a gun. Now that he didn't know the other party's strength and didn't have a suitable weapon, using a gun was the only logical thing to do.

Moreover, he immediately realized that the ruthless assassin he had previously killed was nicknamed Mad Dog, and that he and that assassin were in cahoots.

"You and that guy are in cahoots, aren't you? I happen to have a lot of questions I want to get to the bottom of, so it seems you've come at just the right time."

The bald, fat man laughed: "Some questions are destined to have no answers. Die!"

He hurled the metal ball in his hand with a bang, and like a shotgun, it covered an entire area!

Even though Gendagawa had tried his best, these metal spheres were fast and dense, like a large net, directly enveloping him, and Gendagawa still couldn't dodge them.

If it weren't for Tomoko's use of a strong electric current to stimulate him and increase his speed again in the blink of an eye, he would have become a hornet's nest in that instant!

Even so, a metal ball still landed on his thigh, embedding itself directly into his flesh. If his muscles hadn't been so incredibly tough, the metal ball would have pierced right through his thigh, creating a large, transparent hole!

Terrifying, this is an opponent of a completely different level!

Just then, the opponent rushed to his side. The terrifying speed brought a terrifying impact. Even though he tensed all his muscles, his body was still uncontrollably thrown backward.

In a split second, he used breathing techniques to adjust his body posture and then pulled the trigger of the pistol.

Then he immediately changed direction and fired a shot to his side. The huge figure paused, and he finally landed, panting. He saw the bald man clutching his chest, looking at him with a solemn expression.

"Thank you so much, Tomoko."

Genda River felt a wave of fear wash over him. If it hadn't been for Tomoko's scan, the moment he fired, his opponent would have moved to his side. If he hadn't been able to react effectively while he was tumbling in the air, he would have suffered a severe blow.

At this moment, Tomoko spoke up: "Be careful, the other person is alright. The shooting just now only caused minor injuries. Something's wrong with this person; he's not normal."

As he spoke, he directly transmitted the scanned image of the other person's body to his brain, allowing him to 'see' the changes in the other person's body.

Large patches of black skin appeared on the other person's chest, with countless tiny fish scales emerging from under the skin and covering the surface of the body.

The bullet had only shattered a few fish scales and hadn't even penetrated the flesh. The flattened bullet now slid mercilessly to the ground.

The next change didn't actually require the projection of the sophon anymore. His back writhed, and several thick tentacles emerged, making him look like a mutated octopus monster.

At this moment, Kenji Hōyama, seeing this, was so frightened that he was incoherent:

"You're a mutant! You're a mutant!"

Chapter Ninety-Four: Fierce Battle

At this moment, Eri Kisaki was also stunned. The bald assassin from just moments ago had transformed into a monster resembling a tentacle octopus in the blink of an eye!

The sudden change left her speechless with shock, and she involuntarily took a few steps back.

The bald man, or rather the monster, chuckled. But now, fish scales were gradually covering his neck, and his entire face was covered in black fish scales.

That laugh was so sinister that it instantly made the entire street feel eerie and terrifying.

A sense of unease rose in Genda's heart. Wasn't this the world of Detective Conan?

Why has the art style changed like this? The powerful characters here are either hard-working members of the Black Organization or Saiyans like Kyogoku Makoto.

The rest of the world shouldn't be too different from the past, right? It should still be an era where firearms dominate the world, shouldn't it?
