My obsession with role-playing seems to have distorted the world's aesthetic.

Chapter 390: The Emperor Who Will Always Stand at the Top - Kono Shinichi Kudo!

Kaito Kid?

Upon hearing Snake's confident words, Conan began to recall that he seemed to have seen the name on television before; it seemed to refer to a thief who specialized in stealing jewelry.

However, that thief was quite the pervert. Every time he went out to play with jewelry, he would return it to its rightful owner, as if Kidd was enjoying the thrill of manipulating the police.

"Besides Kidd, it seems that there are royal families from other countries among the spies in our organization."

Snake, unaware of Conan's existence, continued, and the BOSS on the other end of the phone, hearing Snake's words, was somewhat surprised: "The royal family?"

"It seems to be the royal family of a small country called Wakanda. He joined our organization for a ridiculous reason: to save his homeland."

In the homeland of the undercover agent codenamed Black Panther, power and wealth have been completely controlled by Regent Wendy and the wealthy businesswoman Theresa. Perhaps we can start our investigation by looking at names like Wendy and Theresa.

Upon hearing this, the BOSS nodded and instructed Snake on the other end of the phone, "Besides these, do you know anything else about those undercover agents? Report everything."

"I don't know much about those undercover agents, but one of them belongs to an organization called Dream."

Upon hearing this, the BOSS nodded and said:

"I have a general understanding of the situation. I will investigate the matter of the Dream, as well as Wendy, the regent of Wakanda, and Theresa."

"Snake, for now, you and the men I sent out should find a safe place to settle down. I'll send you the follow-up mission information based on the intelligence we gather."

As the BOSS's voice faded, Conan, standing at the bottom of the stairs, was pondering a question: Wendy, why does this name sound so familiar, like I've heard it somewhere before?

Distracted, Conan didn't notice that his detective badge had come loose. Before he could react, the badge coincidentally fell to the ground.

It was impossible for such a coincidence to happen. At this moment, Xia Qing had roughly understood what had happened after observing Conan's situation through her mental abilities.

The reason Conan's detective badge fell off was naturally due to Xia Qing's influence.

Using her mental powers to pinpoint the other's location, Xia Qing then used spatial powers to temporarily connect Conan's area with the castle.

Xia Qing, who had just finished a batch of plans, was bored and about to take a look at what the beings he had marked were doing when he happened to stumble upon Conan's current situation.

Oops!

Upon hearing the sound of the detective badge falling to the ground, Conan's face instantly turned pale. At the same time, the two people upstairs also clearly heard the sound of the detective badge falling.

"who!?"

Snake asked cautiously, while Conan quietly crouched down to adjust his soccer cleats.

As one of the advanced technologies in the Conan world, the soccer shoes that Conan is looking at naturally possess considerable power.

On the rooftop, Snake and his companion exchanged a glance, then without a word, raised their guns and slowly walked downstairs.

There's no mistake, someone definitely followed me here.

It wasn't out of fear; Snake's cautious and attentive listening to his surroundings was actually to avoid being exposed.

A professional tracker wouldn't make such a basic mistake; either the pursuer isn't very capable, or he's luring the pursuer into a trap.

Snake was absolutely certain of this, and at that moment Conan broke out in a cold sweat.

How to do?How to do?

One idea after another kept popping into his mind. After taking a deep breath, Conan chose to wait quietly here.

There aren't many options left for me now, since losing things in an empty building is just too conspicuous.

Furthermore, there were no cats or dogs nearby, so the chances of fooling them were slim. My only option now was to find an opportunity to launch a sneak attack.

Conan's heart pounded as his sneakers were put into a state he wouldn't normally use.

Peng!

Just then, a gunshot rang out, and the moment Conan heard the gunshot, his sense of foreboding intensified.

"Tsk, isn't it here?"

A voice came from upstairs, and after a moment's thought, Conan had the answer.

The other party has already come down from the top floor and is heading towards their floor.

Meanwhile, Snake, who had initially thought the other party would hide at the stairwell, frowned: "That guy isn't going to run away, is he?"

"There were no footsteps just now, so the other person must be on a lower floor. It seems your guess was wrong. The guy who sneaked in isn't on this floor at all."

After the zoo staff member made a casual remark, he drew his gun and became alert, while Snake, upon hearing this, began to cock his pistol.

"Alright, let the cat-and-mouse game begin."

Snake smirked, while Conan began to consider his escape route.

Running away would obviously be too late. In that case, let him see Professor Agasa's invention.

With this thought in mind, Conan prepared to kick, but at that moment a feeling of dizziness suddenly came from his mind.

"What... is going on?"

Conan looked somewhat bewildered, feeling his control over his body gradually slipping away.

"My adorable Conan, you've done a great job. Now... leave the rest to me."

As his consciousness completely faded, Conan seemed to hear his own voice as Shinichi Kudo.

With strong professional ethics, Xia Qing recalled the information about Shinichi Kudo from her memory and began to quickly simulate the high school detective.

Tap, tap, tap.

Footsteps echoed in the empty corridor. Snake was stunned when he heard them. What was this? They didn't even try to hide their footsteps. Was the stalker really that arrogant?

"The fate ordained by Heaven cannot be changed. Your future has already been foreseen by me, and death is the only path that awaits you."

The boy's voice rang out at that moment, and Xia Qing began to take off Conan's clothes.

"And I, as the emperor with two souls in one body, will forever stand at the peak."

King Crimson!

As soon as he finished speaking, Crimson King activated his ability, and Xia Qing instantly appeared behind Snake.

Peng!

Smoke filled the air, and gunshots rang out.

Conan, who had transformed into Shinichi Kudo through the power of combination, touched the back of his neck, where a bullet was firmly lodged.

The bullets could not penetrate Conan's skin, which had now become Shinichi Kudo.

Chapter 391: Shinichi Kudo: My dream is to become the Moriarty of the Heisei era!

"You...you're Shinichi Kudo!"

Seeing Conan suddenly transform into Shinichi Kudo, Snake's assistant wore a cautious expression.

He didn't want to reveal abilities that ordinary people should have, such as design skills, because of some subconscious habits.

"Shinichi Kudo? That name sounds familiar. Have I heard of him before?"

As Snake pondered, his teammate beside him spoke up, "You must have heard of him on TV. After all, the title of Sherlock Holmes during the Heisei era was quite famous."

"Oh, so it's that kid. Instead of studying, he's a high school student who wants to be a famous detective. Ha, he's probably just being used as a pawn by the Metropolitan Police Department."

Upon hearing his teammate's voice, Snake raised his gun and aimed at Shinichi Kudo. At that moment, Xia Qing's companion, who was playing the role of Shinichi Kudo, changed his expression.

Wait a minute, am I seeing things?

The bullet... was in the hand of that famous detective!

"There can only be one emperor who rules over darkness beneath the light, and that emperor is me, Shinichi Kudo!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Snake looked around in horror. The surrounding buildings collapsed rapidly, and everything around him turned into darkness.

Apart from the floor I was standing on, the rest of the area had basically turned into pitch-black nothingness.

"Illusion?"

Snake, recalling a colleague in the organization named Spider, asked somewhat uncertainly, "When exactly did you fall under their illusion?"

"No, it's not an illusion. Welcome to... the realm of time collapse."

Shinichi Kudo gave a cold smile reminiscent of Gin, and Snake instinctively took a step back upon seeing the famous detective's sneer.

Aren't you a famous detective? What's with that cruel smile and murderous aura? Are you really sure you're not some kind of assassin?

"The Sherlock Holmes of the Heisei era, what exactly are you planning to do?"

Looking at Shinichi Kudo in front of him, Snake gritted his teeth and asked, while Shinichi Kudo stretched his neck and gave Snake a disdainful look: "Oh, is that what the police call me?"

Hahaha, these stupid police officers never knew my true identity.

The Sherlock Holmes of the Heisei era? No, no, no, that title doesn't suit me at all. If I could, I'd prefer to use a different title.

Those are the weavers of a criminal network hidden in this corrupt, class-based country, with footprints spanning multiple nations.

Since you're destined to die, I'll tell you a secret.

"I, Shinichi Kudo, have a dream: to become the Napoleon of the criminal world, the Moriarty of the Heisei era!"

Looking at Snake in front of him, Shinichi Kudo revealed a smug smile. If his fans who had come to this world saw this, the image of the high school detective would probably collapse instantly.

Although Xia Qing, who was playing Shinichi Kudo at this time, had not studied in Hawaii, her acting skills were quite good.

Looking at Snake in front of him, Xia Qing thought he could go to Hawaii for some advanced training when he had time. As everyone knows, Hawaii in the Conan world is a breeding ground for all-round talents.

"Shinichi Kudo... It seems you've hidden yourself quite perfectly with the police."

Snake took a step back and continued to aim his weapon at Shinichi Kudo. Damn it, the person in front of him was probably not the real one.

Unexpectedly, this high school detective who aspires to be Moriarty of the Heisei era possesses such profound illusionary skills, which are probably no less than those of the Spider.

Snake kept his eyes and ears open, trying to find the location where Shinichi Kudo was hiding.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Snake's accomplice also managed to calm himself down.

No matter how you look at it, it's impossible to instantly teleport to such a place in this scientific world, so is it an illusion?

But the problem is that illusions also require the assistance of various hypnotic techniques and facilities. Where exactly are the other party's facilities hidden?

His companions were trying to find a weakness in Shinichi Kudo's defenses, but Shinichi Kudo was completely oblivious to their actions.

"Those guys from the Metropolitan Police Department? Heh, a bunch of useless trash. They solved those locked-room murder cases entirely with my help."
