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

Chapter 943 A Victory or Defeat Decided in an Instant

"Bat, I'm here to help you!"

Koizumi Akako's voice suddenly rang out from inside the communicator.

The Scarlet Witch's magic arrived late.

The next instant, the red magic struck the floor of the second-floor corridor of the Suzuki Foundation exhibition hall, causing the floor tiles to crack and creating a large crater, but it did not harm the Purple Witch at all.

Because the Purple Witch's body disappeared at the same time as the terrifying illusion ended.

Koizumi Akako was stunned when she saw what was happening before her eyes using the magic mirror.

"Hey, what happened?"

In the sixteen or seventeen years since she became a magician, Koizumi Akako had never encountered anything so bizarre. Could someone really use magic to slip away right in front of her? This was simply unbelievable!

She is the Red Witch among the Seven Witches.

This country is home to some of the most accomplished magicians in the world.

What exactly just happened?

Why did the Purple Witch disappear in the blink of an eye? Why is the spider next to her already lying down? Did something happen that I don't know about?

Chen En's gaze swept over the spider's corpse in the corridor.

He quickly walked to the spider's side, half-squatted down, placed his finger in front of the spider's nose to feel its breath, then frowned and slowly relaxed, confirming the spider's current condition.

Although it is unknown why, the spider's body still appears to be active and has not yet reached the point of death.

It's likely that everything that just happened occurred within the illusionary space.

Although the spider was cut in two by the wolf grim reaper and died in the illusion space, in the real world, it would probably only be brain dead, that is, it would become a vegetable.

However, there's no need to delve into that.

After he completed the construction of Arkham Asylum, the prison, and the associated sanatorium.

Let's just send the spider that's turned into a vegetable to the sanatorium.

Through the surveillance system in the second-floor corridor of the Suzuki Foundation exhibition hall, Ai Haibara clearly saw all of Chen En's actions. A hint of doubt arose in her heart, and she then asked.

"Chen En, what just happened?"

"Why did the spider lie on the ground the moment your eyes met, and the Purple Witch beside it vanished without a trace? Do you possess some special skill that allows a true hero to kill with his eyes?"

Chen En: ?

Where did this so-called true hero come from who kills with his eyes? Where did you hear this crooked nonsense from?

Chen En frowned slightly and gently placed his fingers on his earphones as he asked.

"You mean that the moment my eyes met the spider's, the spider collapsed, and the Purple Witch vanished without a trace, and nothing happened in between?"

When faced with Chen En's question, Ai Haibara answered as a matter of course.

"Of course that's true."

"If I had to give a figure, the total combat time was about thirty seconds..."

Upon hearing Chen En's question, she immediately realized that Chen En's situation was probably different from what she had seen. So she frowned, a sense of confusion rising in her heart, and asked directly.

"Is the actual situation that just happened different from what I saw through the monitoring system?"

Upon hearing this, Chen En simply shook his head slightly.

He said in a low voice.

"Let's talk about those things when I get back to the Batcave."

Faced with Chen En's somewhat strange answer.

Although Ai Haibara had her doubts, she didn't press the matter further.

Since I met Chen En, he has never hidden anything from me, as long as he says he will tell me. It's just a matter of time, so there's no need to dwell on it too much.

The urgent issue to address now is the situation in the lobby on the first floor...

However, the moment this thought crossed Ai Haibara's mind, she exclaimed in astonishment.

"A sudden gust of wind swept through the lobby of the Suzuki Foundation exhibition hall. The salamander, which had already shown signs of exhaustion, used its flames to create a fire tornado within the wind, enveloping itself inside."

"By the time the fire tornado dissipated, the salamanders and red-headed creatures inside had all disappeared!"

A sudden gust of wind just appeared in the lobby of the Suzuki Foundation exhibition hall.

Without even thinking, Chen En knew that this was a powerful wind magic commonly used by witches.

Previously, when Koizumi Akako and he came to the Suzuki Foundation exhibition hall to set up a magical mechanism, they used this kind of magic to summon their brooms from her manor villa.

The Purple Witch also used this magic to move the red hoods in the abandoned warehouse.

This is just the same old trick being used again.

Thinking of this, Chen En adjusted the channel and switched the communication channel of his headset to Koizumi Akako's side, asking her a question.

"Don't you have any way to stop the Purple Witch's whirlwind magic?"

The Scarlet Witch and the Purple Witch are two of the seven colored witches.

Furthermore, red magic is the most powerful of the seven-colored magics, and the Red Witch is the most powerful individual among the seven-colored witches. Even if there are differences in combat experience between the two sides, this kind of problem should not have occurred.

When Chen En asked her question, Koizumi Akako answered without hesitation.

“I’ve already dispelled the strong wind magic, but…”

"After the fire tornado formed, the two people smashed the outer water tank, causing the water inside to gush out and mix with the flames to form a mist. The red-hatted man and the salamander rushed out of the wall of flames and ran away."

"However, the salamander's flames are extremely intense."

"Even if he intentionally controlled it at the time, the remaining wall of flames was powerful enough to cause severe burns. That guy with the red hood would definitely have been injured because of it. If we look at the area of ​​severe burns, it shouldn't be hard to find him."

Generally speaking, people with severe burns are easy to find.

But that's the Red Hood, which possesses supernatural healing abilities. The damage from severe burns to ordinary people is probably not serious enough for the Red Hood.

At this moment, Chen En suddenly turned around and looked at Suzuki Jirokichi and Suzuki Sonoko, who had pushed open the door of the central control room and walked out, and nodded slightly.

Then he placed his fingers on the earphones and said softly.

"Understood. I will have Noah's Ark assist in the follow-up investigation into the whereabouts of the Red Hood."

"Thank you for your help this time. I'll contact you again later."

Communication with Koizumi Akako was interrupted at this time.

Meanwhile, Sonoko Suzuki and Jirokichi Suzuki arrived at Chen En's side. The two of them saw Chen En, Spider, and Purple Witch staring at each other. In the next instant, Purple Witch and Spider disappeared and fell unconscious, respectively.

Then, in the lobby of the Suzuki Foundation exhibition hall.

Most of the thugs who attacked the Suzuki Foundation exhibition hall have been apprehended by Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department officers, and the two remaining individuals with supernatural abilities have disappeared.

They concluded that the danger had passed, which is why they came to Chen En's side.

Sonoko Suzuki asked in a low voice, sounding somewhat concerned.

"Ah, are you alright?"

"What just happened? Why did one person suddenly disappear, and another person suddenly collapse?"

When faced with this question, Chen En simply answered in a low voice.

"...because they lost."

"The true outcome is decided in an instant."

Chapter 944 Fuck your mother, when did I become your friend?

The Purple Witch relinquished her magical avatar after noticing that Batman had defeated the Wolf Reaper and mastered the energy of fear.

She withdrew her consciousness and magic ahead of time, naturally to help Red Hood and Salamander, two codenamed members of the mysterious organization who would most likely be killed instantly once Batman was free to act, to evacuate.

Regardless, these two codenamed members must be taken away.

Even though the spider has died, the final payment for the spider has not yet been settled.

How can we manage without a designated member to pay the final payment?

However, her whirlwind magic was interrupted by the Red Witch as soon as it took effect. Fortunately, the Red-Haired Girl managed to escape the scene with the salamander before the flames completely dissipated.

Otherwise, the subsequent handling of the situation would likely be very difficult.

The problem is that she received half of the final payment but did twice the work, so the input and output were completely disproportionate.

The Purple Witch, who was inside the mysterious organization's temporary base, had already begun packing her things, preparing to flee Tokyo.

This trip to Tokyo was definitely worthwhile.

Through Batman's terrifying visions, she witnessed the ultimate form of death, which allowed her to further enhance her sub-magic while also realizing just how formidable Batman was.

This guy's yellow light ring can manipulate fear energy.

If the Purple Witch were to use her usual fear magic to create fear and manipulate others, she would probably be directly absorbed and taken away by that guy's Yellow Lantern Ring, becoming his charging bank.

Furthermore, Batman's successful elbow strike that resulted in death has granted him resistance to death-related magic.

She can be considered the natural enemy of the Purple Witch.

Therefore, the Purple Witch had already made up her mind.

After leaving Tokyo this time, no matter what kind of commission she receives or how much reward she receives, she will never return to Tokyo to carry out such murder missions.

Money is valuable, but life is more precious.

Going head-on against Batman is suicidal.

This real-world legendary hero is a veritable criminal killing machine.
