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

Scarlet Witch is a top-tier sorceress, while Batman is a top-tier warrior.

In any hero anime, they might even be able to fight the Demon King. Unless Iron Sword comes back from Mars right now, other units would only be able to cosplay as speed bumps on the roadside if they encountered a surprise attack from Koizumi Akako and Chen En.

Oh, it didn't slow down that much.

……

"Success..."

"That's strange, but why is there no picture?"

Inside the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, there's a room specifically reserved for Onmyoji (yin-yang masters) and great magicians to perform their rituals.

The Onmyoji Ashiya stroked his chin and asked incredulously.

"Mr. Lorenzo, where do you think the problem lies?"

"I thought the ritual should have been successful, so why couldn't we trace Miura Takeo's exact location? Is the black mask really that effective at concealment?"

Lorenzo was also completely baffled by this.

This is indeed very strange.

As a great magician who had mastered many mysterious systems, he had encountered many unusual situations, but he had never encountered such an unusual situation as the one before him.

Could it be that his Yin-Yang skills were not up to Ashiya's level, causing a deviation at some point?

Hakuba glanced at Lorenzo and Ashiya, who were now frantically flipping through the reference books beside them, and couldn't help but sigh, feeling somewhat helpless about these two seemingly unreliable, and indeed truly unreliable, mystical experts.

No wonder the era of the mystical side ended so easily; it turns out they were all this kind of scum.

Otherwise, if these mystical forces could simply nip any potential problems in the bud before science even gets going, science would never develop, and the mystical world would remain forever.

However, just as Hakuba Saguru was considering whether to call Chen En again to confirm,

A gasp suddenly came from inside the shaman's room.

"Huh, why is the signal suddenly good again?"

Lorenzo looked at the special reconnaissance magic tool, which they had just thought had been damaged due to a problem with the first step, with some disbelief. Suddenly, a mark appeared on it indicating the exact location of the black mask.

But it only appeared for a moment before disappearing completely.

Hearing the exclamation, the great Onmyoji also looked up at the special reconnaissance magic item.

When Ashiya discovered that there was nothing on the mirror, he gave her a look that said, "Are you kidding me?"

Ashiya felt his fist harden.

What kind of time is this? You're still making a fool of me. Do you really think I won't dare to give you a few punches and kicks?

Seeing the expression on the face of the Onmyoji beside him, Lorenzo chuckled and scratched the back of his head, saying...

"Calm down, calm down."

"I'm not kidding. I think I really saw a small red dot representing the Black Mask signal appear on the surface of this magical item, but I don't know why it disappeared as soon as it appeared."

...Where could such a strange thing happen?

The black mask's signal appeared and then disappeared again. Could it be that someone took off the black mask?

Or was the signal from the black mask inexplicably exposed for a moment and then forcibly deflected?

Either way, it's all very strange, isn't it?

Ashiya shook his head helplessly, completely disbelieving.

He cooperated with the Japanese Public Security Bureau and managed to uncover the identity of the mysterious sorcerer who was traveling with the black-masked man.

To be honest, that guy does have some magical skill, but it's not as high as Lorenzo's or Ashiya's. If it weren't for the special nature of the Black Mask and the fact that he was intentionally attacking someone who wasn't paying attention, he wouldn't have been able to achieve such a feat.

They've probably already been eliminated by him and Lorenzo.

However, even in the current situation, it's only a matter of time before we find out where that guy is.

But at that moment, Hakuba Saguru's phone suddenly vibrated.

He took his phone out of his pocket, glanced at the number, then greeted the Japanese police officer next to him. He went out into the corridor, scanned his surroundings, and only after confirming that there were no other Japanese police officers did he press the answer button and put the phone to his ear.

"This is Bai Ma. Is there any new development in your call at this time?"

The voice on the other end of the phone was as hoarse and deep as ever.

"Progress? If we're talking about progress, then yes, there has been progress."

"The magical artifact I created to locate the Black Mask can only be directed to the side of the Black Mask, not the main side. I have just dealt with one side and am now heading to the location of the second side that is in effect."

"How's the progress on your end?"

Hakuba Saguru shook his head at this and simply said...

"The outlook is very pessimistic."

"Just like I mentioned to you before, I felt that Lorenzo and Ashiya working together wouldn't be very effective, and that's exactly what happened. The magical gadgets they made simply couldn't detect the location of the Black Mask."

"No, it's not that we can't detect the location of the Black Mask at all."

"It's unpredictable, sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. They're still arguing about whether the marker representing the Black Mask's location suddenly appeared. I don't think there will be any progress today."

At this very moment, aboard the Bat fighter jet.

After listening to Bai Ma Tan's words, Chen En shook his head slightly.

He truly hadn't expected that even a master Onmyoji, whose profession was exactly what he was supposed to be, would be countered to this extent.

He had initially thought there might be some new developments regarding the Grand Onmyoji.

But at that moment, Koizumi Akako reached out and tapped Chen En's helmet.

The tapping of his knuckles on the helmet of the bat suit created a soft sound, drawing Chen En's attention to Koizumi Akako, who then spoke nonchalantly.

"Look, that facade is right there in the factory downstairs."

“I can see his location, which means this magical item is used to find the Black Mask’s back, so… I can’t help you with the rest. You’ll have to figure it out yourselves.”

When Hakuba Saguru heard Koizumi Akako's voice on the other end of the phone, he immediately realized that Koizumi Akako was probably really the Scarlet Witch, but he tacitly refrained from asking at that moment.

After all, his emotional intelligence isn't as low as Shinichi Kudo's; he knows what to say and when.

In response, Chen En simply turned his gaze to the factory below, where he saw a black-masked imposter wearing a disguise trying to escape. He narrowed his eyes slightly and then spoke.

"I need to get rid of as many black-masked people as possible. We'll talk about other things later."

Chapter 1341

Today was arguably the worst day of his life.

This was even worse than the last time he was tricked by Ireland and forced to fight Batman at the Tokyo National Stadium, only to lose and be sent to the hospital, where he was then shot by someone sent by Ireland.

Because he's already been killed nine times by Batman today.

Takeo Miura found it hard to imagine how Batman was able to find his location so easily.

This makes no sense at all. How could they possibly do that?

If it were because the sorcerer by Batman's side could predict his location, then according to Batman's usual methods, he should have found his door long ago.

How could they wait until now to come looking for us?

Could it be that Batman's sorcerer just happened to make significant progress at this particular time?

"...Tonight's attack plan against the Dongchen Society was clearly arranged."

"Why did they have to pull this stunt at this crucial moment? If Batman had been able to keep chasing, wouldn't today's operation have just been left to those third-rate bastards?"

On the shelves of an abandoned factory, Takeo Miura, devoid of any villainous boss demeanor, sat directly in the first row of the shelf.

The face covered by the black mask showed no expression, but he was using the black mask to manipulate the corpses, so the corpses wouldn't have any physical expressions anyway.

His fingers tapped lightly on the shelf, waiting for that familiar figure to appear again.

"Although I'm very unwilling, it seems that this is the only way now."

This is what Takeo Miura thought to himself.

After being killed by Batman two or three times in a row, he still had some thoughts of escaping, but now he has obviously given up the idea of ​​escaping and is waiting for Batman to come to the respawn point.

There's no way to escape, there's absolutely no way to escape.

Batman's surveillance system is far too authoritative in this respect, and he also has some very fast mobility equipment that allows him to travel from the south of the city to the north in just a few minutes.

His last respawn point was near a cold storage facility at a university in the central district.

The previous respawn point was simply in the abandoned warehouse area on the outskirts of the city.

As a result, after Batman killed him at the previous respawn point, he ran to the previous respawn point and killed him a second time. Even including Batman's movement time, the total time would not exceed 5 minutes.

He has now been resurrected, in about three minutes, and if nothing unexpected happens, Batman will arrive soon.

There was absolutely no need to run.

Just as Miura Takeo had predicted, a figure clad in black armor appeared at the warehouse entrance a few dozen seconds later, walking step by step toward Miura Takeo.

That appearance was naturally very familiar to Takeo Miura; it was undoubtedly Batman.

He sighed at this moment and said.

"Batman, why are you doing this?"

"You should know that I have as many black masks as I want. I can keep you occupied for a whole year. No matter what, you will never be able to kill me because I will never let you see my true form."

"I advise you to stop your efforts and go take care of other things first."

In response to Miura Takeo's words, Chen En remained calm and simply said in a low voice.

"I could just sit here with you for a whole year."

"No matter what system the mysterious item is from, it can never be used without a price. If I kill you enough times, there will come a time when you can no longer use the Black Mask."

"And even if there's no cost to it, I wouldn't lose anything by killing you."

"That way, I can make sure you won't show up in any way that gets in my way and interfere with my work."
