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

However, what followed was...

It was the light of an explosion.

Chapter 1335

Let's turn back the clock a few minutes.

Just as Batman would never trust Ireland to go to the Black Organization's outskirts of Tokyo alone, Ireland knew that Batman would not wait for him to finish talking with his contact at the outskirts before meeting him.

Therefore, Ireland deliberately used a method to have someone else lure Batman away.

He then went to the base outside the city alone.

The Black Organization's outskirts of Tokyo are not unfamiliar to Ireland.

In order to rescue Curaçao, he had specifically come to the base outside the city to mobilize the armed helicopters here. When he was forming the Raven Society, he also came here to obtain various weapons and ammunition.

But this return trip to Ireland evoked a very different feeling.

He suspected that this trip might be a trap.

However, he was skeptical that Rum could truly abandon its interests in the Tokyo area and instead choose to eliminate him, a codenamed member who had essentially joined Rum's ranks.

The vehicle stopped at the base outside the city, and Ireland entered the password and pushed open the gate of the base.

Ireland was relieved to see none of the peripheral members of the Tokyo Black Organization sent by Gin, who were originally supposed to be staying here. He then tidied his appearance and went inside.

As Ireland entered the outlying base, the gates of the outlying base automatically closed.

The originally dark base outside the city gradually brightened as people entered, and Ireland could see everything inside clearly, especially the large screen in the center.

He glanced around and found that there didn't seem to be any other outer members left behind.

However, all the passageways leading to the various supply storage areas are closed.

But this seems normal, since when he was the head of the Tokyo area, he also had to apply for a key, then open the corresponding access door, and then have people move things in and out.

What's a bit strange is that the person Rum had mentioned coming to meet him didn't appear in sight... which is rather odd.

Ireland reached his hand slightly inside his clothes and touched his pistol before continuing to walk forward step by step.

He already had a vague sense of unease in his heart.

However, when Ireland arrived in front of the main control computer screen at the base outside the city, his gaze immediately fell on the special communication device placed on the desktop of the large computer.

He already had a special communication device that could communicate with rum.

Why is there another one placed here?

Ireland frowned slightly, glanced around at the various corners of the memories outside the city, and then asked a question.

"I am Irish. Is anyone else here?"

"Rum should have already told you that you're here to connect with and assist me in handling matters related to Gin's takeover of the Tokyo yakuza organization. Why don't you come out and meet me now?"

"What was the idea behind simply placing a special communication device here?"

He was certain that the contact Rum had mentioned was already here.

Gin might also have a special communication device that allows him to contact Rum or Karasuma Renya, but it's highly unlikely he would leave it here. Moreover, given Gin's style, he might have already come out and killed this traitor.

That means the contact person Rum mentioned who came to help him handle Gin-related matters is here.

However, at that moment, the large screen of the central control computer suddenly lit up.

Ireland looked up at the big screen with a sudden look of surprise in his eyes.

The central control computer at the base outside the city has monitoring capabilities to view the rooms where various supplies are stored. In addition, it can also count the current quantity of supplies stored at the base outside the city.

However, at this moment, the rooms displayed on the central control computer screen were completely empty.

Even the armed helicopters stored at the base outside the city have disappeared.

"...What exactly are you planning?"

"What good would it do you to take all of this?"

"There shouldn't be any other bases near Tokyo that can hold these things... No, there shouldn't be any in the entire Kanto region. Where did you take them?"

Ireland's expression turned grim, and he immediately asked.

He simply couldn't imagine how chaotic the situation in Tokyo would become if rum were to take all of these things and use them there.

This is clearly not something that can be done on a whim.

It's likely that before he even contacted the rum company, the goods here had already been quietly moved away...

If that's really the case, then the fact that rum didn't notify him, the person in charge of the Tokyo area, beforehand can only mean that rum had already been planning to abandon him.

Otherwise, if he continues to oppose Batman, Raven will need to transfer equipment from here, but he won't get anything.

If this matter blows up, it won't look good for the rum company either.

Unless rum doesn't give him the chance to escalate things in the first place.

Batman's judgment was correct.

His judgment was wrong.

For some reason, Rum didn't care about the interests of the Tokyo area at all... or rather, he simply thought that Rum would betray the Black Organization, so he didn't intend to treat him as a pawn that needed to be protected.

On the big screen, the figure of a stranger wearing sunglasses appeared, and the person spoke calmly.

"Ireland, I think you don't need to worry about these things."

"If nothing unexpected happens, you might not even survive tonight..."

"...To be honest, the current situation has made me look at you in a new light. I thought that since you had already become a traitor to the organization, you would directly tell Batman the coordinates of the base outside the city and let Batman go with you."

"Surveillance cameras have been installed in various locations around the base outside the city, capable of capturing the entire layout of the base from every angle without blind spots. They are used for communication and exchange via offline networks to ensure that Batman cannot hack into the base."

"If Batman really comes, there's no way he'll escape our surveillance range."

"So the only possibility right now is that Batman didn't come with you."

"The setup here is actually for Batman. As long as he can get into the base outside the city, or even into the area around the base, a bomb of sufficient power will turn Batman into ashes of the past."

"It's quite difficult for us to deploy so many high-yield bombs at once."

"After all, the vast majority of resources are needed for a bigger plan."

...A grander plan? What grander plan could the Black Organization possibly have?

Should we use all our money to buy all the land in the United States?

Ireland's face darkened; he was completely bewildered by the stranger's words.

But he also knew that this was likely a trap set for Batman.

Rum's initial plan was to lure him to the base outside the city and then use a bomb to eliminate him and Batman, a situation Ireland had never anticipated.

He felt that the supplies at the base outside the city were impossible to transport, and even if they were, there would be nowhere to store them.

So even if rum is a threat, it's nothing more than deploying 800 musketeers here to shoot him dead as soon as he enters; it doesn't amount to blowing up the entire outer base in one go.

In this way, he could have Dead God tell Batman the news after his death.

Batman's trip to the base outside the city was simply to deal with the Black Organization members patrolling there, and then to seize all the supplies from the base.

But now... if this place is really as this person in front of me says.

The base outside the city has been turned into an explosive trap targeting Batman.

Therefore, his act of having Death God tell Batman the coordinates of the base outside the city after his death would directly trigger the explosion that killed Batman...

It's even highly likely that Batman is already with him near the base outside the city.

If Batman were to get close to the bomb, he would be caught in the blast wave.

So there is only one thing he can do now, and needs to do.

That is to make sure Batman doesn't die here, as much as possible.

Even if it's just for Pisco in Arkham Asylum, he can't let Batman die in the explosion at the base outside the city. He has to make some noise to make Batman realize that this is a trap.

Ireland's mind raced as he pondered how to let Batman know that this was a trap.

As the former head of the Black Organization's Tokyo branch, he knew better than anyone that the base outside the city was not just staffed with patrolling members of the Black Organization.

The real killer move was the automatic machine guns positioned near each passage.

If an automatic machine gun is remotely activated, it will target and fire at anything within its range that does not meet the identification criteria, with enough power to instantly tear a normal person to shreds.

Batman's suit may be powerful enough, but it might not be able to withstand the barrage of heavy machine gun fire.

However, if we take into account Batman's inhuman mobility, an automatic machine gun might not be able to kill Batman, but killing him in Ireland would be no problem.

Even if Ireland were at its peak, it might not have escaped the barrage of fire from several automatic machine guns.

Moreover, he is already in a state of having suffered several gunshot wounds.

Any rash action would be a dead end for both Ireland and Batman.

If he's now pretending to be giving a heads-up, so that the automatic machine guns will open fire...

So it's highly likely that he distracted them, or that Batman, who was still on his way here, could hear the sound of automatic machine guns and realize that there was danger here?

The outlook is not optimistic.

His thoughts raced, and he finally said...

"I need to talk to rum."

"To be honest, I know of a special magical item that can resurrect people infinitely, thus achieving immortality... and Gin knows who owns this magical item."

"However, I don't think Gin ever told Rum about this."

"Next, I will speak directly with Rum. I will tell him who owns this magical item, what it is, and how to obtain it. Rum can then directly confirm with Gin whether what I said is true."

"...I think Rum would be very interested in this magical item, wouldn't it?"

Immortality? Infinite resurrection?
