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

A look of speechlessness appeared in Chen En's eyes.

The reason why both the mysterious organization and Phantom Thief Kid keep visiting famous gem exhibitions in various places is naturally because they believe that the Pandora Gem has fallen into the hands of a mysterious tycoon or business guild.

The wealthy business guilds simply wouldn't recognize it as a Pandora gem and would display it as an ordinary gem.

That's why Phantom Thief Kid and the mysterious organization keep stealing or buying various famous gems to confirm whether those gems are indeed the legendary Pandora gems, and that what the fortune teller said is meaningless.

Let me tell you something you might not know.

Just when Chen En thought that Kudo Yusaku was making fun of him.

Yusaku Kudo provided a significant piece of information.

"The fortune teller said that this gem is directly related to Batman."

"It could even be said that Batman has already dealt with the owner of this gem, and may even directly cause the power hidden inside the Pandora Gem that can grant immortality to be unleashed in the future, bringing the Pandora Gem into existence."

"Mr. Chen En, if there hadn't been a cloak war in this world..."

"Then I think this Batman must be referring to you."

"You are the key factor in determining whether the Pandora Gem will appear in this world."

Me? I decide whether or not the Pandora Gem appears.

A look of shock appeared in Chen En's eyes.

This was indeed unexpected.

Chapter 1010 The Friend-Friend Fruit User

Chen En had indeed never considered the possibility of this happening.

Because he has absolutely no connection to the Pandora Gem.

He never included the Pandora Gem in his plans, because he knew that the gem was simply an impossible dream, a mirage.

Just like the endless progression of the Detective Conan TV storyline.

This decisive factor ensures that the legendary gem that will continue to exist as Phantom Thief Kid will forever remain just a phantom, forever untraceable, no matter how much effort others put into obtaining it.

But now Yusaku Kudo tells him.

Meanwhile, in the United States, Kuroba Toichi used divination magic to discover that the Pandora Gem was born because of Chen En, and that Chen En had even interacted with the owner of the Pandora Gem.

This immediately gave Chen En a somewhat unreal feeling.

Divination magic.

Since transmigrating to this world, almost all the divination magic Chen En has encountered has been quite effective or completely effective; there has never been a case where it was completely ineffective.

In other words, if Kuroba Toichi hadn't encountered a counterfeit or substandard product...

There must be some truth to the magical prophecy given by that fortune teller.

Chen En's mind raced for a moment.

Although he originally had no interest in the Pandora Gem.

But now that he knows the Pandora Gem is in the hands of someone he has dealt with before, that aversion to uncertainty resurfaces.

The Pandora Gem possesses the divine power to grant immortality.

He may not need the power of the Pandora Gem, but he wants to ensure that it doesn't fall into the hands of a mysterious organization.

Otherwise, no one would know what kind of amazing things that guy from the mysterious organization would do.

Immortality is something that can drive people mad.

Moreover, unlike the effects of Ai Haibara's aptx4869, the immortality power of the Pandora Gem has almost no restrictions or side effects, except for the requirement of timing.

This involves the numerous super-powered assassins under that man's command and his assassin branches spread across the globe.

This could very well escalate into a deadly crisis.

Chen En's fingers gently rested on the handle of the coffee cup.

He has done too many things since he came to this world, and the resulting butterfly effect has completely disrupted the original main storyline, but he still needs to think about it.

Why can't the Pandora Gem ever appear in the Magic Kaito universe?

However, after he appears in this world, the Pandora Gem will be born because of him.

Was it because of something he did that caused a gem that was originally impossible for anyone to discover to become a gem that could potentially be discovered to be Pandora in the future?

"Mr. Chen En, what's wrong?"

Kudo Yusaku's voice startled Chen En from his thoughts.

His gaze returned to Yusaku Kudo, and he spoke in a low voice.

"Under normal circumstances, it is impossible for a Pandora gem to appear."

"It's like in Tom and Jerry, Tom can never kill Jerry, because the story of Tom and Jerry will never end. The same goes for Phantom Thief Kid..."

"But something I did caused this situation to become a variable."

"Mr. Kudo, which of these things do you think I might have done?"

Chen En's words surprised Kudo Yusaku.

However, he couldn't give a suitable answer to this.

He could only say it in a low voice.

"I guess it's because of you that something that seemed impossible happened, and this indirect chain reaction led to this situation?"

Did I make something impossible happen because of me?

A look of understanding appeared in Chen En's eyes.

He already had a guess in his mind.

He only needs to return to the Bat Cave, contact Koizumi Akako, and have her come to the Bat Cave to confirm, and he can confirm whether his original guess was correct.

If something that would have been absolutely impossible after the merging of the two worldviews of Detective Conan and Magic Kaito happened because of him, then there is only one possibility: that one thing.

"...I think I understand now."

Chen En said this.

These words, however, caused Kudo Yusaku, who was standing next to him, to frown.

Dude, you know what's going on, so just say it.

How did you become a riddle teller?

The dragon slayer becomes the dragon himself, right?

Kudo Yusaku felt his curiosity as a renowned mystery novelist was growing wildly, but he had no reason to get Chen En to reveal the reason that caused this variable.

It was only at this moment that he suddenly realized the problems he had encountered in his previous novels.

How outrageous is the behavior of detectives who like to sell their cases in front of a large audience after solving them?

However, Chen En seemed completely unwilling to say anything.

Yusaku Kudo simply stopped discussing the topic and changed the subject.

His tone softened slightly.

"I must say, what I experienced inside the Suzuki Foundation exhibition hall was quite an eye-opener."

"That kind of terrifying illusion that can make people feel like they are actually there is something that ordinary people can hardly resist. Even if such content were included in a mystery novel, it would probably be met with a lot of criticism from readers, right?"

"Fortunately, I have a friend."

“I’ve already contacted him. He’s an expert in the mystical world. Yukiko and I are planning to go there to study how to deal with mystical methods, and we’ll come back in a while.”

"We'll probably be setting off this week."

"Mr. Chen En, if there's anything you need my help with, please let me know as soon as possible."

What could I possibly need your help with?

Chen En shook his head slightly to indicate no.

If he ever ends up needing Yusaku Kudo's help, that's what will happen.

That's most likely about solving some bizarre puzzle or receiving a death message.

As is widely known, the reason why Detective Conan is more widely spread in the Eastern cultural sphere is that the deceased in this world-building liked to use Japanese-style riddles as death messages.

Even locals sometimes complain that it's all katakana, no one can understand it.

The information about the deceased was a mixture of katakana, hiragana, various word order changes, acrostics, coded messages, and various passwords. It was truly unbelievable that a non-local could decipher the mystery from the death information.

"...In that case, Mr. Kudo, I wish you a pleasant journey in advance."

Chen En didn't ask any further questions about who the friend Kudo Yusaku was talking about was.

He had gotten used to the fact that Yusaku Kudo had friends everywhere.

It's practically like Shanks' Face Fruit in One Piece; it belongs to the realm of supernatural abilities unique to users of the Friend Fruit. It's best not to delve too deeply into it. Anyway, as long as Yusaku Kudo knows what he's doing, there's no problem.

However, just as Chen En was about to get up and say goodbye, the door to Yukiko Kudo's room creaked open.

Chapter 1011 Hattori Heiji's Furious Outburst

"Oh dear, Mr. Chen En, are you leaving now?"

Yukiko Kudo must have overheard Chen En and Yusaku Kudo preparing to say goodbye in the room before she pushed the door open and came out.

"This lady, who looks quite young, said with a smile."

"Aren't you going to have dinner before you leave?"
