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

The area sealed off by Noah's Ark quickly came into Conan's view, and Conan immediately rode his skateboard straight in.

His fingers were on the headset.

Then came the sound of Noah's Ark.

"Plamia is most likely located in the area of... direction."

"Please be careful with it."

Conan answered directly.

"I know."

"Don't worry, there won't be any problems."

His tools and abilities are probably insufficient to coordinate with the drones and mechanical birds sent by Noah's Ark to directly eliminate Pramia.

However, it should still be possible to merely restrain Pramia and prevent her from escaping from Noah's Ark and his pursuit range.

The moment Conan sped out of the alley on his skateboard, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

Because the woman in the alley wasn't Pramia at all. Someone else was wearing very similar clothes to her, or perhaps Pramia had tampered with her clothes, but she didn't realize it.

Noah's Ark has been lost.

This fact instantly resonated deep within Conan's mind, causing cold sweat to bead on his forehead.

If Pramia has already left Noah's Ark's tracking range, then Pramia could detonate the bomb at any time under these circumstances.

Millions, even tens of millions, of people in Tokyo will be affected by this disaster.

Where should he go to find Pramia?

The more critical the moment, the more calmly we must think.

Conan forced himself to calm down and tried to think about the situation.

If Pramia has truly escaped the tracking range and signal jamming range of Noah's Ark, what would she do?

He came to the answer after only a moment's thought.

Given Pramia's modus operandi, he would definitely press the button and detonate bombs throughout Tokyo as soon as he was out of the signal jamming range.

That's a madman.

Moreover, he is an extremely vengeful and vindictive madman.

Pramia knew very well that the reason they were tracking her and trying to prevent her from using electronic devices was to prevent her from remotely detonating bombs and harming innocent civilians.

Therefore, if Pramia escapes, she will detonate the bomb immediately as revenge for Noah's Ark and Conan's pursuit and restrictions on her.

The fact that bombs haven't yet detonated in any direction in Tokyo suggests that Pramia has likely escaped Noah's Ark's pursuit, but is still within the signal jamming range.

In that case, it might still be in time.

Conan quickly thought it through his mind, then immediately used his earpiece to tell Noah's Ark his thoughts and gave instructions to continue the search.

As he moved quickly on his skateboard, he didn't forget to take out the same signal jammer from his Robin belt.

In this way, if Pramia appears within a certain radius of him while he is moving at high speed, then the opponent's signal will definitely be restricted.

While it might be better than nothing in this situation, but...

Something is better than nothing.

Chapter 1412

The reason why Cassandra's ring still warned him in this situation was now clear.

It's a two-color liquid bomb.

Moreover, it was a dual-color liquid bomb that could be activated—or rather, it was about to be activated. If he had arrived any later, the bomb would have exploded in the shopping district.

Ultimately, this resulted in the deaths of nearly several thousand, even tens of thousands, of people on this commercial street.

Could it be that Conan's judgment and his own assessment were wrong? How could the relationship between Pramia and those criminals be so good that he even handed them the remote control to activate the dual-color liquid bomb?

Chen En's gaze was fixed on the two-color liquid bomb, a hint of hesitation flashing in his eyes. His mind raced like a storm as he pondered the reasons behind it all.

Pramia's relationship with other criminals was definitely not that good.

If these criminals, whom the Shadow Cabinet hired to kill him, were truly so closely connected and trusted each other to this extent, then Ael would never have left at this crucial moment because of a mere threat.

If these criminal alliances truly become so close and trusting, then the only possibility is that they each have something on each other.

These criminals never believe in simple emotions, but rather in tangible benefits.

Only when there is mutual benefit and no conflict of interest between the two parties, and they can even complement each other, can both parties gain greater benefits.

Only these criminals could possibly achieve the level of trust that Chen En has now speculated about.

But is that even possible?

Chen En didn't think for a second that Pramia had any leverage that others could use against her.

Because the Pramia he is now encountering is significantly different from the Pramia who appears in the theatrical version of "Halloween Bride".

Pramie, one of the brides of Halloween, was stopped by the Public Security Five many years ago during a bombing operation.

Her arm was also injured as a result.

For this reason, they almost completely withdrew from the criminal scene active in Pramie, and the frequency of crime decreased significantly.

She then disguised herself as an ordinary foreign woman and approached a retired Japanese police officer, attempting to obtain the identities and whereabouts of the five police officers who had stopped her years ago, so as to take revenge.

However, according to Chen En's investigation, although Pramia was indeed prevented from carrying out a bombing operation in Shibuya by the Public Security Five in this world.

However, according to the report from the five police officers afterward, Pramia was not hit in the arm, meaning that both of her hands were intact, unlike in the movie where one arm was destroyed.

This has resulted in Pramiya remaining at large, a terrorist bomber who even commits crimes around the world.

The Plumia in Halloween Bride clearly has a fatal weakness, but the Plumia in this world obviously doesn't exist.

Chen En didn't think Pramia had any secret that would make her hand over control of her dual-color liquid bomb.

The current situation is therefore particularly peculiar.

After disarming the two-color liquid bomb, he boarded the Batplane without saying a word and immediately took off.

Meanwhile.

A video suddenly appeared on the large screen in the shopping mall inside Chen En's line of sight.

The person appearing in the picture is none other than Pramia, who should still be being tracked by Conan using a drone.

This world-renowned bomb-wielding criminal and wanted criminal seemed relaxed and at ease at this moment, as if he had not encountered any trouble at all.

She spoke in a relaxed and calm voice.

"The bomb here has been defused."

"So, Batman, you should be in this area, right?"

"If that's the case, you should be able to see this image... so let's get straight to the point."

Pramia's voice suddenly turned cold and cruel, and she spoke without hesitation.

"We came for you."

"As the only superhero in the real world, your existence is perhaps a little too much of a hindrance."

"Even if you are only active in Japan right now and don't go anywhere else, you will do it sooner or later."

"So to avoid that possibility, starting today, a steady stream of the world's most notorious criminals will be heading to Tokyo, with only one goal: to kill you..."

Batman.

"If anyone dies in this series of explosions, then the one who kills them is not just me, but you too."

"Because if you didn't exist, I wouldn't have returned to Tokyo, and I wouldn't have planned this series of bombings."

The once bustling crowds on the commercial street stopped and lingered because of the sound and images coming from the big screen.

They listened to the words with some fear, because they then realized that there had been a powerful bomb near the commercial street.

If Batman hadn't defused the bomb without their knowledge, they might have been blown to bits.

Otherwise, the blonde woman on the big screen, whose identity is unknown, wouldn't have used that tone.

Batman undoubtedly saved their superheroes in this respect.

However, after hearing Pramie's words on the big screen, the citizens of Tokyo were forced to consider a question...

This is a perennial topic in comics and comics fandoms.

Superheroes are born because of the emergence of supervillains, and they stand up to fight in order to stop them.

Or is it that supervillains only appear to kill superheroes because of their existence?

Therefore, people holding their own opinions have been fighting online for countless years.

Now, it seems there might be a cruel truth to this answer.

In the past, heroes existed in the real world, but superheroes did not. Conversely, there were no super criminals who could harm tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or even millions of people at a time.

And after Batman appeared.

They have to admit that it was indeed after Batman appeared that Tokyo began to see these supervillains with an extremely wide range of threats.

So, is it really because Batman was born in the real world that supervillains keep appearing one after another?

What ultimately led to Tokyo transforming from a commercial center into such a dangerous city?

People on the shopping street stopped and whispered among themselves. For a moment, they didn't know what to think.

Perhaps some of them believe that the emergence of supervillains is the reason why superheroes are created to stop criminals.

But what they were discussing before was just a comic book, while what they were talking about now was a real-life situation happening around them.

They were genuinely caught in the crossfire of Batman's battle against supervillains, and at this moment, they almost became cannon fodder in the struggle without knowing anything about it.

People are always driven by self-interest.
