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

Who are you? Who exactly are you?

"Don't let me find out who you are, or you'll be in for a world of hurt when I get back from hell!"

"The fallen angels of hell said angrily."

However, Koizumi Akako pretended that this great demon king hadn't said anything.

He hastily grabbed a handful of powder from the nearby prop jar and sprinkled it into the crucible, making Lucifer, whose rage was off the charts, the target of his freebies once again.

Generally speaking, there are plenty of people who would take advantage of Lucifer for free; Koizumi Akako is not an exception.

Lucifer shouldn't have been so angry, but he still flew into a rage.

The reason lies in the magical items crafted by Koizumi Akako.

This is a silver cross.

Normally, such silver crosses designed for magical effects should be crafted by the Vatican, as witches could not possibly create such magical items. However, Koizumi Akako had a sudden inspiration.

Isn't Lucifer a fallen angel? Then wouldn't reversing Lucifer's magic power turn him into angelic power?

"You're not needed here anymore. Just be a good leek for me to exploit."

Koizumi Akako hummed a song and added some magical items.

She plans to give this cross amulet to Kaito Kuroba so that she can ensure he won't be affected by the other witch's magic, and she won't have to personally intervene and break the Seven Colors Pact.

That's an absolutely brilliant idea!

Chapter 529 Chen En: Extreme Emotions? I Have a Plan!

"Is there only an opportunity to test under extreme emotional conditions? That sounds like a difficult thing to achieve."

Ai Haibara, holding the grimoire, said softly.

Comparatively speaking, her emotional expressions are not particularly prominent. If one had to point out one prominent emotion, it would probably be the self-destructive tendencies that suddenly surface at certain times.

However, knowing that Miyano Akemi was still alive, even this thought was suppressed.

Therefore, Ai Haibara felt that she probably wouldn't even have the chance to test whether she had the talent to become a magical girl.

Chen En, who was standing to the side, remained silent for a moment.

Then he held up one finger and said.

"I have a bold idea."

Extreme emotions?

This is not difficult to achieve. Extreme fear is also an extreme emotion. I happen to have the fear gas in my hand that I haven't used yet. Isn't that a one-step solution?

Chen En glanced at Ai Haibara from the side.

Then he sighed.

Forget it, don't make my cat stupid.

Gotham City's water resources all contain some trace of the terrifying gas, to the point that Gotham City's civilians have developed a certain degree of gas resistance.

However, the citizens of Beika Town did not.

Chen En's use of fear gas several times directly caused the targets to go insane. Unless absolutely necessary, it's best not to test your teammates' mental state.

As the saying goes, when you test how much force a piece of glass can withstand before it breaks, the glass has already broken; it's just a matter of time.

"...Do you have any bold ideas?"

Ai Haibara blinked and asked.

"If you're trying to get Cardcaptor Sakura to use the Clow Cards on me, then I don't think it will work."

Chen En: ?

Thank goodness Hakimin wasn't there.

Otherwise, if you said that, you would have directly activated Conan's Spinosaurus form.

Chen En shook his head and continued driving.

He noticed a traffic police patrol car ahead, so he quietly changed his route.

This is definitely not because of the traffic fine charges that Inspector Megure had previously told him.

He simply didn't want the traffic police to spend too much time on him, that's all.

However, when Chen En changed his route, he heard a somewhat discordant gurgling sound coming from the side and subconsciously looked at Ai Haibara's stomach.

He noticed Chen En's gaze.

Ai Haibara blushed slightly.

She instinctively clutched her stomach, then whispered,

"W-what's wrong?"

"I've only eaten the chocolate bar you gave me in the bat cave since this morning, and I haven't eaten anything else. It's normal to be hungry..."

Upon hearing this, Chen En raised an eyebrow.

He parked his car on the side of the road, looked up at the bustling Chinatown, and then said,

"Then what are we talking about? Let's eat first."

"The poor me of the past is dead. Now I'm a superhero with the power of money!"

Ai Haibara: ?

You'd better be.

However, just as Ai Haibara followed Chen En into Chinatown, intending to find a place to eat nearby, she couldn't help but think of the other people.

For example, Shinichi Kudo.

She and Chen En wandered around outside all afternoon until dinner time. What was Shinichi Kudo doing this afternoon?

They should have eaten by now, right?

"Uncle, please stop betting on horse races."

"I'm so hungry! Let's go eat first, okay? I can bet on the horses anytime, but I have to eat now!"

Conan said seriously.

He's at the racecourse with Kogoro Mouri right now, because it's the night race.

In addition, Kogoro Mouri and his companions spent a whole day searching for evidence and witnesses but found nothing. The deceased's nephew even made the matter appear in the newspaper.

Kogoro Mouri got angry in a fit of rage.

They decided to end today's investigation and resume it another day. They brought Conan to the horse racing track to bet on horses, and they've been sitting there for quite some time.

Conan even considered giving Kogoro Mouri a shot and then calling Ran Mouri to bail him out.

"Hey kid, stop making noise."

"Let's do it a billion more times, just one last billion times! If we win this, I'll take you out for a big meal!"

Kogoro Mouri waved the horse betting stick in his hand, somewhat impatiently brushing off Conan, seemingly so engrossed in the world of horse betting that he had forgotten all about the world around him.

Conan: ?

You said that half an hour ago.

Even the super-powered soccer hero needs to eat, so I'll give you a shot right now and let Sister Xiaolan come and bail you out.

Just as Conan was getting ready to try.

Suddenly, a voice came from the side, sounding surprised and incredulous.

"Ah, Mori?!"

What are you doing here?

Mori Kogoro:?

Oh my, is there someone I know here?

He quickly turned his head and saw his old classmate from police academy standing in front of him.

Takeoka Isao.

"Didn't you used to not bet on horse races?"

"Why are you betting on horse races now? How's the situation lately? Are you still working at the Metropolitan Police Department?"

Kogoro Mouri asked curiously.

Takeoka Isao: ?

Upon hearing this, Takeoka Isao paused for a moment before replying.

"Sigh, I left the Metropolitan Police Department and didn't have any other ways to make money, so I became obsessed with horse racing."

"By the way, is the boy in the blue suit next to you your and your sister-in-law's second son?"

Mori Kogoro:?

Kogoro Mouri shook his head and quickly replied.

"How could that be?"

"If I had such a mischievous child with Eri, I'd probably be driven to death by now."

"This kid is a friend's child who's staying at my house. His name is Conan Edogawa."

"By the way, it's been so many years."

"How is your wife? I remember Natsuko and you were already dating when we were both in police academy, right?"

"They should be married by now?"
