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

"Your current strength is not enough to contend with us. If I were you, I would have better retreat now."

"Besides me, Akizuki Airi, our NESTS team also has Kaito Kid here. You have no chance against us."

Akizuki Airi suddenly spoke in a tone that suggested she had everything under control, while at the same time she began to quickly guess at Kaito Kid's purpose.

Akizuki Airi had no intention of having much interaction with this pleasure offender.

Looking at Akizuki Airi's confident tone, Gin silently raised his gun: "Aren't you overestimating yourself a little?"

As Gin spoke, Conan, who had finally run up behind Kaito Kuroba, stopped in his tracks.

That voice... Gin!

Conan's expression changed. Could that person impersonating an old man be connected to Gin's organization?

"Fine, if we have to fight, then I'll let you see this power."

As Akizuki Airi spoke, she took out a yellowish-brown crystal from the storage bag of her purple combat suit.

According to Zero, crushing this thing will enhance one's power and slowly petrify the opponent when attacking them.

Crushing the crystal in her hand, Akizuki Airi quickly recalled the combat techniques she had learned before and tried to close the distance.

Seeing Akizuki Airi approaching him, Gin pulled the trigger without saying a word.

The bullets that flew out seemed to hit some invisible force and were crushed into dust when they reached Akizuki Airi. Akizuki Airi was now very close to Gin.

Looking at Gin and Akizuki Airi not far away, she silently mourned for him for a moment. This man was about to die by her hand. She would remember him. He was the first human she had killed.

Zero previously stated that the combat techniques he is currently learning are not purely the Dry Earth techniques, but rather an adaptation of another similar technique.

Zero, who completely disregarded the Dry Earth Technique, seemed to actually think it was quite powerful, stating that the technique's combat capabilities were rather impressive.

As long as you use it at will, you can inflict massive damage on the enemy.

After this technique was modified, the overall name also fits the original arid land.

Upon getting close, he delivered a powerful punch to Gin and Akizuki Airi. The air around him seemed to be torn apart by the force of his left fist, and a violent shockwave swept around.

Xia Qing, who was observing from the sidelines while remaining invisible, looked at Akizuki Airi with considerable satisfaction. It seemed that his new combat suit, which he had adapted from the Valkyrie Armor and Knight Armor, was not bad.

However, Gin remained remarkably calm in the face of this punch, which was powerful enough to shake the mountains. A pure black crystal suddenly appeared and blocked Akizuki Airi's attack.

This is one of the extended abilities he can finally use after mastering and improving his skills. The more traitors there are within the organization, the harder the black crystal shield he can condense will be.

Recalling the investigation that had previously made him withdrawn, and confirming that his Black Crystal Shield was strong enough to withstand missiles, Gin didn't take Akizuki Airi's attacks too seriously.

Akizuki Airi's expression froze as she punched the black stone. What kind of technology was this? Did it conjure a crystal shield out of thin air?

However... this level is far from enough to stop me.

Looking at Gin not far away, Akizuki Airi clenched her right fist.

"Ah, the earth sobbing!"

Akizuki Airi took a deep breath and unleashed another violent attack. Gin frowned as he looked at Akizuki Airi.

My own attack methods... are still somewhat lacking.

"Vodka, it's time to bring out those weapons you prepared."

Gin said something to the vodka over there, and then quietly watched Akizuki Airi frantically scrape her skin.

???

Isn't that right? What happened to the promised massive damage, and rather impressive damage?

Zero, this is fraud.

At this moment, Akizuki Airi, who was frantically scraping her skin, was on the verge of tears. She had originally thought that her appearance would be a sign that the mysterious organization's executives would easily defeat their opponents.

But... why am I, as a cadre, now acting like someone is giving a back massage?

Seeing the completely unyielding Black Crystal in front of her, Akizuki Airi silently retreated to create distance.

"Kidd, why are you just watching? Have you already betrayed us?"

Faced with this situation, Akizuki Airi turned to Kuroba Kaito for help, but Kuroba Kaito remained silent.

Can someone tell me what's going on? How did those suddenly appearing black crystals even happen? And was that chuunibyou guy really that good at fighting?

"Kidd, quickly use your invincible Satanyel to think of a solution!"

Airi Akizuki started to panic. Why was Kaito-senpai watching her silently? Could it be...?

An ominous thought arose in her mind. Akizuki Airi felt a sense of danger. If she wasn't mistaken, her position at the scene was quite awkward.

What is Satan Yar?

Seeing that Akizuki Airi was already somewhat flustered, Kuroba Kaito, who had been silent, really wanted to ask a question.

When did you become the invincible Satan Yar? Aren't you overestimating me? I've never even heard of that thing.

Could it be that Satan Yar possesses the power of the person who is impersonating him?

"Who exactly are you?"

Just then, a mature, deep voice rang out on the scene, accompanied by the effect of shattering mirrors, and the NESTS executive codenamed True Zero walked out of the shattered space.

"You are……"

Kaito Kuroba was somewhat puzzled when he saw Xia Qing, who had suddenly appeared disguised as Shin-Zero.

Chapter 402: Shinichi, I never expected you to be Kaito Kid!

"Zero, the deputy of the high-ranking officer of NESTS, the one destined to ascend to godhood."

I'd like to ask you, who exactly are you, and why are you impersonating him?

Don't try to argue; NESTS' power is beyond your imagination.

Well, let's be frank. Kogoro Mouri's identity is also one of your disguises.

The real Kogoro Mouri is still lying in his hotel room, so don't try to fool me with your reputation as the famous detective.

Xia Qing asked in a questioning tone, while Kuroba Kaito looked somewhat embarrassed:

"So I've been discovered... But the identity of Phantom Thief Kid is not fake, I am indeed Phantom Thief Kid."

Kaito Kuroba accepts the identity of Phantom Thief Kid quite well.

"That doesn't sound like a lie... Fine, I'll reveal your true colors then!"

As soon as Xia Qing finished speaking, Kaito Kuroba's expression changed. A gust of wind blew his monocle and top hat away.

After using his appearance-matching power to conceal subtle adjustments and become exactly like Shinichi Kudo, Kaito Kid's true appearance was revealed to all the audience members present.

"Kudou...Shinichi!!?"

Inside the cruise ship's restaurant, Sonoko, witnessing this scene, wore an expression as if she'd seen a ghost.

In just a few seconds, her emotions went through a rollercoaster.

The Phantom Thief Kid isn't actually Kogoro Mouri; my youth has returned.

What? Kaito Kid is that deduction maniac Shinichi Kudo?

My youth has come to an end...

"So, Shinichi Kudo and Kaito Kid are the same person."

Looking at the image displayed on the screen, the new reincarnator's lips twitched wildly as he spoke.

"Yeah, right! What's wrong with this world? Can't our New Party ever get any better? I'm so angry and cold!"

Su Qing spoke in a devastated tone, saying that her worldview had been completely shattered in just a few minutes.

Akizuki Airi suddenly transformed into the withered earth and used the same withered earth technique to give Gin, who seemed to possess some special abilities, a gua sha treatment.

That's not all. The most outrageous thing is that Shinichi Kudo and Kaito Kid are actually the same person. Could things get any more outrageous?

This is absolutely outrageous.

Su Qing looked like she'd seen a ghost, while Qingzi, who was in the restaurant, froze on the spot.

"Kaito...it's Kid!?"

The images on the screen were too impactful for her, even though she knew that Kaito and Kid's magic was very good.

However, she never imagined that the Kid who was always at odds with her father was actually Kaito.

"What? How could Kidd be that kid?"

Inspector Nakamori, who was initially surprised by Kaito's appearance on the screen, suddenly became indifferent halfway through his surprise.

At this moment, one of his subordinates looked at Nakamori Ginzo with a look of utter disbelief. "What's wrong with Inspector Nakamori? Why is he arresting Kid like a madman? What's happening to this world?"

"No one understands Kidd better than me. That kid on the screen is definitely not Kidd."

Seeing the surprised looks on his subordinates' faces, Nakamori Ginzo said with considerable certainty.

"How to say?"

Inspector Megure, who was still in shock looking at the person on the screen, asked instinctively, while Ginzo Nakamori replied with certainty: "As everyone knows, Kaito Kid is extremely skilled at disguise."

In my opinion, that kid on the screen is most likely Kaito Kid in disguise. How could Kaito Kid, who's been fighting me for so many years, be so young? It's obvious, isn't it?

The officers around Nakamori nodded in agreement with his words. They agreed, saying that Nakamori was indeed a worthy Inspector.

Hmm, that kid on the screen definitely isn't Kaito Kid.

As Kid's old rival, Nakamori Ginzo single-handedly convinced the officers that the appearance on the screen was a disguise.

"Shin...Shinichi?"

Looking at the figure not far away, Ran Mouri, who had just rushed out, had a rather complicated expression.

This……

Ran Mouri said she never dared to imagine this situation, never expecting to encounter Shinichi under these circumstances, and even more so, to discover Shinichi's other identity by chance.

Why is this happening...? I finally ran into Shinichi, and then I finally met Kaito Kid, whom Sonoko asked me to get her autograph...

"Shinichi... I didn't know you were also working part-time as a phantom thief."

Ran's expression was quite complicated as she looked at Kaito Kuroba.
