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

But Ireland obviously wouldn't do that.

Just as he would not abandon Pisco, he would not betray Death God.

For members of the Black Organization, being loyal and sentimental is undoubtedly a major drawback.

Emotions can lead codenamed members of the Black Organization to make unwise choices, make mistakes, and harm the organization's interests... Therefore, codenamed members of the Black Organization must never act based on their emotions.

But it was precisely because Ireland valued loyalty and righteousness that it had a second-in-command like Death God and the appreciation of Pisco.

Just as a teammate and leader.

Being loyal and affectionate is definitely not a negative trait.

Looking at Ireland and Pisco, who have rallied and are now in good form.

Chen En's body was concealed by Batman's black cape, but inside the cape, he had already pulled out a mass-produced fear gas smoke bomb, ready to deliver a big blow to the two of them.

Don't say that righteous heroes would never do something like a sneak attack.

Generally speaking, someone who doesn't launch sneak attacks can't be considered Batman.

Giving your all is the greatest respect you can show to your opponent.

Just as Ireland and Pisco were about to make their move, the fear gas smoke bombs were already plastered on their faces.

The entire alleyway was instantly filled with a thick, terrifying toxic fumes.

Pisco's eyes widened instantly upon inhaling the terrifying gas.

He lived a very long life and saw too many things.

This is precisely why fear gas has an exceptionally strong effect on it.

After joining the Black Organization, he always wondered if he, as a veteran of the organization, would one day be eliminated as a burden or a traitor.

In that instant, he felt as if he were in the lobby of a hotel.

He seemed to foresee that if no one interfered with Miyano Akemi's affairs, he would hold the party as planned, cooperate with Vermouth as usual, and eventually be silenced by Gin due to a mistake in his actions.

Piske knew perfectly well that it was fake and had not happened.

But it all felt so real, as if he had personally experienced and witnessed it.

Amidst the terrifying poisonous gas, Gin's figure was walking towards him step by step.

The Beretta pistol was now pressed against his head.

In that instant, he seemed to have lost all his strength.

An immense fear gripped my heart.

But unlike Pisco, Ireland is on the other side.

The fear gas had the same effect on Ireland.

However, the effect was far less potent than that on Pisker.

Even under the effects of the toxic gas, he was able to barely keep his body upright and stare at the ever-changing, illusory scene before him, a reflection of his deepest fears.

That was footage of Pisk being killed.

But Ireland knew that was impossible.

Because Batman was in front of him.

As is well known, Batman has a no-kill policy.

Batman would never kill Pisco, nor would he stand by and watch Pisco die in front of him.

Piske will not die.

This is just a hallucination caused by some unknown reason.

It simply reflects what he fears most deep down.

This is Batman's trick.

He absolutely cannot admit defeat...

We have to get Pisco out no matter what.

It was at this moment that Ireland remembered the mysterious man and what he had said.

I remembered that number.

Chapter 1289 42 Magic

That mysterious person was not a good person.

Helping him was definitely not out of kindness.

Especially given that the man clearly knew the weaknesses of the now-reorganized Steel Society, this level of understanding of the Steel Society inevitably reminded Ireland of that man.

He remembered the person he had asked Death God to kill himself.

Takeo Miura, the president of the Steel Association.

Frankly speaking, in Ireland's view, Takeo Miura is not a difficult opponent to deal with.

Even though the other party is the leader of a criminal organization, he is indeed much more outstanding than the two leaders of the Mud Ginseng Society and the East Star Society, and is indeed one of the enemies who have brought the most trouble to Batman.

But given the previous situation...

The Black Organization has an intelligence advantage, and the Black Organization operates in the shadows while the Black Organization operates in the open.

Killing Takeo Miura would not be a difficult thing.

But now the situation seems to have reversed.

He knew that Takeo Miura was dead, and the mysterious man now could not be the real Takeo Miura.

But merely being a successor to Takeo Miura, possessing his methods, is already a rather troublesome matter, especially given that the other party is entangled with a mystical sorcerer.

The tables have turned; the black-clad organization has become the force in the open, while he has become the force in the shadows.

In this situation, even if it were merely out of a desire for revenge against Takeo Miura, would he genuinely help the Black Organization? Help them rescue a codenamed member who is important to the Black Organization?

Such a thing is absolutely impossible.

Even someone as relatively passionate as Ireland wouldn't do that.

A person who possesses the mindset, character, and ability to repay evil with good.

It is impossible for them to reach any apparent cooperation with the Black Organization.

Therefore, that guy must have had malicious intentions, but Ireland just couldn't see what benefits he could gain from it, or what trouble he could cause the Black Organization.

But now the situation has reached a dead end.

Ireland was certain that even if he tried every means to notify other members of the Black Organization to come and meet him, he would still be determined to succeed.

That was already too late.

With Piscoe in a hallucination and unable to withstand Batman for even a few seconds, the time spent waiting for rescuers was enough for Batman to dismantle them countless times.

Even if it was just a last resort, Ireland still managed to get Pisker to reveal that number.

“Pisco, do you remember?”

"Do you remember the number that person from the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department told you when they found you?"

Pisco, who was deeply immersed in hallucinations, seemed to regain some of his senses at this moment.

A hint of reminiscence flashed in his eyes.

The next moment, that eerie figure he had seen before in the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department reappeared in his line of sight, and he clearly heard that person say those numbers to him.

42.

Pisco, as a codenamed member of the Black Organization, is actually quite outstanding in terms of both reasoning and other aspects.

However, even he had no idea what the number actually meant.

He had no idea what Ireland was trying to achieve by bringing up this number at this time.

But Pisco also remembered the mysterious man who found him and clearly told him that if he wanted to leave, he had to remember this number, a statement that Ireland had now made.

Does that mean this number holds the power to change their current situation?

Chen En's gaze fell on Ireland and Pisco.

His eyes narrowed slightly.

At this moment, it wasn't just Chen En who was paying attention to the situation here; he also contacted another magic expert for help... That's right, it was none other than Koizumi Akako, the Scarlet Witch.

Although Koizumi Akako doesn't seem very reliable in many ways.

However, it must be acknowledged that as one of the Seven Great Witches, the Crimson Witch, Koizumi Akako is undoubtedly one of the most outstanding magicians in this land.

Chen En had already noticed from his previous activities in Ireland that both Ireland and the mysterious person were using mysterious methods.

He is not an expert in dealing with the occult.

However, Koizumi Akako's statement is not entirely accurate.

He only needed to see what kind of magic Ireland would use next.

Furthermore, having Koizumi Akako monitor and stop the magic while tracing its source would make it easier for him to capture all these people in one fell swoop.

Fishing tactics.

Although Chen En did not want to use innocent people as bait to fish.

However, Chen En had no qualms about using Ireland and Pisco, people whose lives would be enough to warrant immediate execution in any other country, as bait.

He didn't think Koizumi Akako would be unable to intercept the rescue magic for Ireland or Pisco.

Based on this, there is a greater than 90% chance that these two people will not die.

This gave rise to the rationale and possibility of implementing this effective fishing tactic.

Koizumi Akako's voice came through Chen En's earphones.
