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

It's not like he hasn't seen that superhero's performance before.

He was present when the plan was devised by Ireland, Vermouth, and the others to disguise themselves as Black Mask and detonate buildings in Tokyo to distract Batman.

Even if it wasn't initially intended to kill Batman or cause more property damage.

However, the number of those bombs was undoubtedly enormous.

But Batman, incredibly, managed to defuse all the bombs planted throughout Tokyo before the last one exploded, and then chased them all the way to the warehouse where Curaçao was located.

Calvados generally doesn't call anything that can defuse such a large number of bombs at the same time "human."

However, in this situation, it remains to be seen who the person following behind is.

His ears twitched slightly.

The next moment, Calvaros raised his submachine gun and fired in a certain direction, just as a black and white soccer ball was flying towards him at high speed and was blown up in mid-air by the bullet.

He didn't think Batman was that weak, nor did he think Batman would use a prop like a soccer ball.

but……

Calvaros fired a flurry of bullets in the direction the football had come from.

But the result was still fruitless; he couldn't smell that familiar, bloody stench, just as the attacker had easily blended into the smoke, making him impossible to find.

This inexplicably familiar method of concealment reminded him of Batman.

In the comics, Batman is not actually alone.

He also had some assistants known as Robin.

The assistants were usually quite young, mostly teenagers.

Now that the attacker has followed him all the way here and used a football, a prop that is completely out of character, to attack him, could it be that Robin, who rarely appears in Batman's Tokyo, is behind this?

Not impossible.

Calvaros made a preliminary conclusion in his mind.

He is still searching for Conan's location.

The Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department's patrol officers will narrow down the search area more and more quickly. Even with smoke as a cover, and with all entrances and exits blocked, it's only a matter of time before they find his and Robin's location.

At that point, the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department officers might not take action against Robin, or even be able to find him.

However, he lacked such excellent stealth skills and escape abilities.

If he were to be surrounded by patrol officers from the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, even if he managed to kill all of them, he would still have no chance of escaping the joint pursuit by the Japanese Public Security Bureau and the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department.

Robin must be dealt with before the other officers can circle around him.

The thought flashed through Calvados's mind.

He reached out and weighed the two submachine guns in his hands, estimated the number of bullets in the magazines, and then turned his attention to the grenades he kept in his pocket.

Utilizing the strong winds and destructive power generated by the explosion.

It shouldn't be too difficult to force that guy, whose age is unknown, to come out.

He knew that members of the Bat Family likely possessed exceptional stealth skills.

But that's just a stealth technique, not blending into the smoke. In other words, there must be a physical entity, and a physical entity can be harmed by physical means, therefore a grenade should be an effective method.

However, it was at this very moment that...

Claws flew from several directions and instantly attacked his gun and arms.

Calvados was caught off guard, and his two submachine guns were immediately caught by the grappling hook and instantly flew out of his hands. However, at the cost of this, the grappling hook that was about to grab his arm only tore a piece of clothing and took away some flesh and blood.

His heart froze slightly.

This guy's equipment is really diverse.

It's impossible for one person to attack from multiple directions; the only possibility is that they are carrying some kind of timed trigger mechanism...

While dodging other incoming attacks, Calvados pulled grenades from his pocket and threw them far in several directions.

The shrapnel and blast wave instantly tore the smoke apart.

The faint moonlight finally shone into the alleyway.

However, his thoughts froze in that instant.

He finally saw the real figure of the person who was most likely Robin, one of Batman's henchmen.

But the man had already raised his wristwatch to him.

Although Calvaros didn't know what the wristwatch was, judging from the scope that was definitely not on it, it was probably a tool used for assassination or some other purpose.

He could no longer avoid it.

The next instant, Conan abruptly pressed the launch button on his tranquilizer wristband.

The anesthetic needle shot out from the wristwatch's firing port and hit Calvados's body. The intense dizziness instantly eroded Calvados's will.

Then, gunshots rang out.

Chapter 1149 Batman, I'll test your mother!

...Batman is indeed a capitalist just like in the comics.

Hiring a child who looks to be under twelve years old as his Robin is quite a significant act, even in Calvados's United States, and it would probably only be reasonable in Britain.

Robin, dressed in blue, had been forced to retreat.

Calvados's face was grim.

He gritted his teeth and simply bandaged his arm.

However, the blood loss from the gunshot wound continued to seep out, causing his face to turn pale and his thoughts to be disturbed by the pain.

Too close, we were too close just now.

Even a highly trained Black Organization member like Calvaros couldn't avoid the tranquilizer dart at that distance, so he made another decision.

A brave man cuts off his own arm.

The moment the blue-clad Robin momentarily lowered her guard after the tranquilizer dart hit Calvados.

Without hesitation, he slid the pocket pistol from his sleeve, pressed it against his arm, and fired a shot, using the pain to temporarily dispel the fatigue brought on by the anesthetic.

Calvados then raised his gun and fired at the blue-clad Robin.

Robin, who seemed to lack combat experience, temporarily retreated and disappeared into the smoke bomb he had thrown. However, he had no idea when Robin would attack again.

"...He's a tricky guy."

Calvados said in a low voice.

He knew he would likely not escape this time from the combined attack of the blue-clad man, Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department officers, and members of the Japanese Public Security Bureau, so he decided to use his last bit of energy.

He needed to pass on information about Robin's appearance to the Black Organization's Tokyo headquarters.

Calvados pulled the miniature walkie-talkie from inside his clothes.

He quickly switched channels and connected with the Tokyo Black Organization headquarters, preparing to contact Ireland, the current head of the Tokyo Black Organization headquarters.

Even though Ireland and Vermouth have a history of friction, they can't worry about that now.

Everything is done with the interests of the Black Organization itself as the top priority.

Even if Vermouth knew, she would probably support his actions.

No one answered the walkie-talkie.

His heart sank to the bottom.

Why is that?

Although he had not been in contact with the Black Organization headquarters in Tokyo, he knew that Ireland had been busy trying to retrieve the USB drive and other such matters.

Logically, the top official in Ireland should remain at the local headquarters and not leave.

But why didn't Ireland answer this secret communication channel that's only used between codenamed members? What is that guy doing right now? Or perhaps...?

A very ominous thought flashed through Calvados's mind.

That means all means of communication have been cut off by various means.

His walkie-talkie's private channel is not connected at all.

As if echoing Calvados's thoughts, a hoarse and deep voice finally came from the other end of the walkie-talkie.

Tell me, where are you?

The voice was all too familiar; it was undoubtedly the voice of the guardian of Tokyo.

It's Batman.

Calvados felt a sense of disbelief.

Generally speaking, there aren't many people who fit the bill for Batman, and even fewer who have close ties to the Suzuki Group, such as Chen En, the rising star of Chen En Enterprises.

But now all those who fit the bill for Batman are no longer in Tokyo.

Does that mean Batman isn't among those people?

Or did someone who fits the Batman bill quietly return to Tokyo at this time?

If that's the case, the other members of the Black Organization must be informed; only then can they successfully deal with the Dark Knight.

However, it was too late to think that way.

Calvados felt a chill run down his spine. The shadow seemed to block out the moonlight, causing him to instinctively turn his head to look behind him. He was so shocked by what he saw that he was speechless. He had just seen that figure.

I spotted Batman.

The Batman stood calmly behind him, having arrived at some point and been there for who knows how long. The emblazoned symbol on his chest gleamed with a chilling light, as if it were more than just a symbol.

Calvados swallowed hard and instinctively took a step back.

His good hand gripped the pocket pistol, pointed it at the superhero in front of him, and he spoke in a trembling voice.
