However, just as Chen En was about to turn the car around, a group of people suddenly surged out from the sidewalk.

Police officers from the Ekoda local police station were evacuating the crowd at that moment, and their faces turned pale when they saw the Batmobile rushing towards them.

What happened?

Why is Batman driving towards us? I heard the Batmobile can't kill people, I wonder if that's true...

Of course it's fake.

This isn't the world of the Arkham series, the Batmobile. With such big wheels, how could it not kill someone?

Chen En abruptly turned the car around.

Just when it seemed the car was about to crash and people were about to die, he still managed to use the force from the grappling hook to force the vehicle to turn, weaving through the gaps and managing to squeeze through the merging traffic.

The Batmobile has a dashcam inside.

Noah's Ark initially wanted to say that this was just a coincidence, but upon seeing this coincidence, even the super artificial intelligence couldn't help but fall silent.

As a super artificial intelligence.

They have always been on the side of technology.

The main idea is that as long as magic or other supernatural phenomena don't appear in front of me, I'll pretend they don't exist.

But the current situation is enough to slap him in the face; after all, a person may be unlucky, but they can't be unlucky forever.

This is practically rubbing probability theory into the ground.

"Bring up the map."

Chen En did not say anything more to Noah's Ark.

This super AI subconsciously ignores these supernatural and bizarre things, even if he emphasizes it several times.

It's estimated that Noah's Ark will only believe in the existence of these strange and supernatural things when some mythical creature actually appears in the future.

Ai Haibara, sitting next to him, gripped the seatbelt with one hand and placed the other on the car's infotainment screen, bringing up a map of the Ekoda region.

Navigation is useless in this situation.

Batman himself would have to adjust his driving direction based on the map, otherwise the resistance would increase the closer he got to the shopping mall.

It was only a matter of time before the car crashed and people died.

"time……"

Chen En gritted his teeth and said.

The moment he drove from the abandoned warehouse toward the Ekoda area, he began to mentally calculate the time.

The time gained by the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department in the Beikacho area through vehicle control was almost entirely wasted due to the obstruction of vehicles in the Ekoda area.

What happened?

Damn it, I can't get in touch with Koizumi Akako either, and the magical items she gave me earlier haven't shown any results.

If this is a magical effect, does that mean the caster of the magic is not in the Ekoda area?

"I'd like to see."

"Will disaster catch up with me first, or will I overcome it?"

The Batmobile vanished into a dark shadow.

It disappeared instantly from the original road section.

Why can't we contact headquarters?

Inspector Kenmochi from the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department frowned and shook the communicator in his hand.

It's hard to imagine that in this day and age, such a communicator could still lose connection.

While he was still thinking.

A black blur flashed past him in the corner of his eye and sped toward the Jianggutian Department Store area without stopping.

This is undoubtedly a huge speeding violation.

Although Inspector Kenmochi, as a police officer in the Criminal Investigation Department of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, should not be handling this matter, he has no choice but to deal with it now.

The Ministry of Transport cannot come here for the time being.

The local police officers had barely encountered any serious murder cases, so they were unreliable; no one else could handle it.

"Call everyone you've contacted."

"Let's head to the Gutian Department Store area now and see if we can stop that speeding black car!"

Inspector Kenmochi said loudly.

The Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department's Criminal Investigation Division 1 squad that was with him immediately got into their respective police cars and followed the black car toward the Ekoda Department Store.

Chapter 660 Racing Against Time

"Oh dear, oh dear."

"Today is a great day to go to the convenience store. I rarely take you shopping at the convenience store with me, because I don't have much free time..."

A middle-aged man in a suit, looking like a corporate slave, walked together with a girl in a high school uniform in the clothing section on the third floor of a convenience store.

He scratched the back of his head and said somewhat apologetically.

In fact, he should feel apologetic.

It's not that he has absolutely no time; the reason he has so little time to take his daughter shopping at the convenience store is entirely because...

He has a very time-consuming hobby.

That is the way of the sword.

This middle-aged man, who works like a corporate slave, often spends his precious rest time going to meet up with friends for kendo exchange meetings or staying at his home kendo dojo to instruct students.

Otherwise, given his free time, how could he only take his daughter out to the convenience store once every few weeks?

"Dad, you..."

The high school girl standing next to the middle-aged man shook her head, already used to it, and simply said...

“Starting from when I was in junior high school.”

“Dad, you’ve always been the same, and nothing has changed.”

She was wearing the Ekoda High School uniform, but she looked petite and not like a high school student.

Walking with the middle-aged man next to him, they were the kind of people a passing police officer would pat on the shoulder, signaling the middle-aged man to come back to the police station with him.

"Everyone, today's convenience store discount event is for purchases over..."

The announcement came over the loudspeaker on the third floor of the convenience store.

But the sound stopped abruptly, causing the girl and her father to look up at the loudspeaker at the same time, staring at it for a while with some confusion.

Is the loudspeaker broken?

That's really strange.

As the largest department store in the Ekoda area, it always uses only the best and most expensive equipment, and has never had any problems.

This time, problems arose as soon as they arrived.

Is it just bad luck?

"Hmm, never mind, let's ignore it."

"Anyway, whatever discounts are available, the cashier will tell us when we get to the checkout counter, right? Dad got a bonus today."

"Buy whatever you want, no need to look at discounts!"

The middle-aged man waved his hand with high spirits and said.

The girl was speechless at her father's pretense of being superior, but she did not refute him.

The main reason is that I don't want my father to lose his precious little bit of face, since he already holds the position of the youngest son in the family.

If he loses face in public, then Dad might become so withdrawn that he'll practice kendo every day.

Did you make it?

The Batmobile stopped at the main entrance of the Eguta Department Store on the first floor. Chen En pushed open the car door and got out, calculating in his mind.

Time remaining until the bomb detonates.

Three minutes left.

It would be absolutely impossible for an ordinary person to find the bomb buried inside the seven-story Ekoda Department Store in three minutes.

But Chen En is no ordinary person.

And the Noah's Ark that was with him was no ordinary AI; it was fully capable of activating all the cameras simultaneously to watch.

Therefore, his top priority right now is to...

The goal is to locate the control room of Ekoda Department Store, use Noah's Ark to investigate the internal surveillance footage, and simultaneously use the broadcast system to notify other customers to leave Ekoda Department Store.

"Hey, you, you're Batman!"

"Standing at the entrance of Ekoda Department Store, ordinary citizens passing by exclaimed in surprise."

"So you're not an urban legend after all."

"So you really exist! Um, may I ask you something?"

Are you really an orphan?

Chen En: ?

What the hell is that question?
