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

As one of the demon kings who appeared in mythology, Lucifer's legend only took shape in the early Middle Ages.

Compared to other demon lords, its history is not long enough, but for her, it is the oldest living antique she can come into contact with.

Lucifer is now refusing to offer help.

It seems there's no way to figure out what exactly this so-called Dinglan Demon Sword is for the time being.

"Bring me the spare magic crystal ball. I need to enchant it, otherwise it will affect the use of magic later."

Koizumi Akako turned her head to look at the butler beside her with some regret, but the butler nodded to indicate that there was no problem and immediately went to the storeroom.

After the butler left.

She stood on the windowsill with some apprehension, her fingers lightly tapping the windowsill railing, wondering if the magical curse might be aimed at Kaito Kuroba.

Although it may sound like overkill.

However, there is no doubt that if we were to find the person most likely to be cursed by magic in and around the Ekoda region, that would be the case.

Then it can only be Kaito Kid.

Batman is probably not in the Ekoda area.

He is busy defusing bombs throughout the city, according to what Koizumi Akako saw before the magic was interrupted.

Kaito Kid is currently using a hang glider to fight Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department officers who are using a capture net over the Tsutsumi River near the Ekoda area.

If the hang glider is even slightly off-center...

He went directly into the Ekoda region, so it's not impossible that the magic was aimed at him...

But now, even she has no other options.

The magical curse severed any possibility of communication with the outside world.

Whether it's through magic or technology.

Now we can only hope that this magical curse isn't targeting Kaito Kuroba.

Ekota area.

Compared to other parts of Tokyo, the Ekoda area has always had the lowest crime rate.

Not only does it have the lowest crime rate.

Moreover, there were almost no serious murders; there were only various petty thefts.

Legend has it that this place is protected by Kaito Kid, the god of survival.

As a result, the merchandise featuring Kaito Kid from Yiwu is selling very well here, and some people have even made amulets to protect their homes.

However, this tranquility was broken.

Someone planted a bomb in the Ekoda area, powerful enough to kill hundreds of people. Police officers from the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department headquarters drove over to defuse the bomb.

The police officers at various police stations in Ekoda were stunned and completely useless.

They're pretty good at dealing with petty thieves.

Asking them to defuse bombs is giving them too much credit; they simply don't have that capability. If they did, they would be working for the Criminal Investigation Department by now.

"Fortunately, we were only evacuating people."

"Compared to the bomb disposal officers in the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department's Criminal Investigation Division, our work is practically harmless. The people at headquarters are really reliable."

"I can't believe it," said a police officer from the Ekoda Local Police Station, while another officer nearby used a flag to direct nearby vehicles to move around in an orderly manner.

I heard the police officer's感慨 (feelings/reflections).

He responded as well.

"Yes, although the people at headquarters are always arrogant and infuriating."

"But we still have to rely on them in crucial moments."

"However, there is really no danger here. People in the Ekoda area have always been law-abiding and don't even speed when driving."

"I even feel that my efforts to clear the traffic were completely unnecessary."

Before he could finish speaking...

Accompanied by the roar of the engine.

The two police officers instinctively looked towards the end of the road, and at that moment a dark shadow swept past them.

The strong winds made it impossible for them to open their eyes.

Until this very moment.

They suddenly realized that a car had just driven by, and that it was speeding at an extreme speed.

"What...what kind of car is this?"

The police officer in charge of directing traffic glanced at the black car that had disappeared at the end of the intersection. He thought for a moment, then answered uncertainly.

"The Batmobile, right?"

Although Batman has appeared in the news several times and has been widely publicized on forums.

However, Batman has never appeared in the Ekoda area.

So much so that people in the Ekoda area regard Batman as a rather realistic urban legend.

Only now are they convinced that this is not a hoax.

"Let's contact the institute first."

The officer muttered to himself.

He took out his communicator, intending to contact the police station to explain the situation, but there was no response from the police station.

No signal? Are you kidding me?

He said incredulously.

Chapter 659 A Series of Misfortunes

"what happened?"

"Are these vehicles intentionally blocking my way? No, that's impossible."

"Could it just be a coincidence?"

Chen En, who was driving the Batmobile, frowned.

He said this to himself quietly, but he immediately dismissed the possibility because he felt that something was very wrong with the situation.

Yes.

If it were just a coincidence that a car happened to be blocking his way, then it could be considered merely a coincidence and not something to be overly concerned about.

But if such coincidences happen again and again, are they still coincidences?

It was as if someone had deliberately arranged for these vehicles to block his path, trying to prevent him from rescuing the people inside the Ekoda Department Store!

Noah's Ark!

Chen En said loudly.

He didn't say what he was going to do, but he knew that Noah's Ark was probably already starting to do things according to his plan.

As a super artificial intelligence.

Noah's Ark has always had an extremely strong learning ability, especially after absorbing the data from his actions in the Cocoon Game.

He has been able to understand and predict some of Chen En's patterns of action.

"Searching."

Noah's Ark replied.

Ai Haibara, who was standing next to Chen En, had also realized that something was wrong, although she couldn't see the surrounding vehicles very clearly.

However, these vehicles appearing one after another in a row are obviously abnormal. Could there be some uncontrollable force causing these vehicles to appear in their path?

Could it be magic?

Ai Haibara said it subconsciously.

Upon hearing Ai Haibara's words, Chen En, whose attention was entirely focused on the road conditions, couldn't help but divert a tiny bit of his attention to Ai Haibara.

magic?

Hey little sister, what's wrong with you?

When in doubt, turn to magic, right?

But upon closer reflection, it seems that such a possibility is not entirely out of the question.

Chen En and Noah's Ark had already noticed the abnormal signal jamming in the Ekoda area and knew that the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department could not contact or issue instructions to police cars in the Ekoda area.

He initially thought this was just a high-tech crime committed by someone, which was why it could produce such an effect.

However, this series of unexpected events suggests that the reason why this rescue operation has repeatedly failed is not solely due to high-tech methods.

All we need to do is check whether the license plates of the vehicles that blocked the road are related to their owners.

"Search complete."

“Mr. Chen En, I compared the owners of those license plate numbers with all the information in the database, but I did not find any connection between them.”

"Although the probability of such a coincidence is infinitely close to zero, according to the data retrieved, it is indeed just a coincidence."

Noah's Ark replied.

Chen En remained silent in response to Noah's Ark's answer.

The next moment, his gaze fell on the empty sidewalk.

Since the normal road is so difficult, why don't I just go across on the sidewalk? Isn't the sidewalk quite spacious?
