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

Chapter 126 There really are vampires in this world!

Hmph, vampires and Dracula are all just for kids.

Why would I, the great detective Kogoro Mouri, be afraid of these deceptive things?

Kogoro Mouri paid no attention to Chen En's words.

Even though Ran Mouri was holding the Bible in her arms and wearing a cross pendant, he remained unmoved. If vampires really existed, he would let them taste the power of his judo!

He said unhappily,
"Alright, alright, where in this world are there any vampires?"

"Dracula's villa is just ahead, let's go take a look!"

Conan, whose niche has been replaced by the Bible, has a string of garlic hanging around his neck.

He sat sullenly in the middle seat.

Damn it, he never imagined in his life that his niche would be replaced by a book!

He glanced at Chen En beside him, then looked somewhat surprised.

Strange, Chen En seemed somewhat absent-minded.

What's wrong? Did something happen?
Could it be that he saw the legendary vampire Dracula inside that villa?

Conan frowned, sensing that things were not so simple.

In fact, Chen En was simply looking at the system screen in front of him.

It's just that Conan can't see the light screen, so he thinks Chen En is looking at Dracula's villa not far away.

------

[A serious incident threatening Gotham City's safety has been detected nearby!]

As Batman, you have a duty to maintain order in Gotham City. Please arrive at the scene immediately and apprehend the criminal before they flee, or stop them from committing further crimes during their commission!

[Difficulty level assessed as low; completing this task will reward you with 20 points!]

------

This security mission is still classified as beginner level.

This suggests that there is a high probability that there will be no second victim in this case.

Chen En was confident in the system's assessment of security tasks.

At least it won't be as outrageous as that scarecrow in the previous special mission where Tamar used magic-side abilities to disguise himself as a physical-side illusionist. It's impossible for the mission difficulty to change automatically, right?
—From this perspective.

There shouldn't be any supernatural phenomena in this case, so his preparations for dealing with vampires are probably useless.

However, this is fine.

Chen En nodded slightly.

He had no experience dealing with vampires and didn't know if the ultraviolet lamp, garlic, cross, flail, Bible, wooden stake, cross specifically for Celestial Dragons, and the holy water he got from the church next door would be effective.

It would be troublesome if it didn't work.

He can't just control the vampire all night until dawn, can he?
"We've arrived! Dracula's Manor is just ahead."

Kogoro Mouri said happily.

Before them, the Western medieval-style villa came into view and gradually became clear. Noticing a vehicle approaching, a handsome young man quickly opened the door in advance.

Once the vehicle entered the manor.

Kogoro Mouri then stopped the car, stepped out first, and said...
"I am the famous detective Kogoro Mouri, and I am here for a request from Daisuke Torakura."

"Excuse me, who are you?"

The young man said with a smile,

"I am a student of Mr. Torakura, and I am currently studying under him. You can call me Toshiya Tadokoro."

As soon as Tadokoro Toshiya finished speaking, his gaze fell on the two people behind Kogoro Mouri.

Good guy.

One was holding a Bible and wearing a cross, while the other was wearing a string of garlic.

What are these two, one big and one small, for? Are they for exorcising evil spirits?

Tadokoro Toshiya looked troubled.

He breathed a sigh of relief only after seeing Chen En.

This person looks perfectly normal.

Unlike the previous two, he didn't carry as many tools to deal with vampires.

Yes, this is the right way to start meeting with Mr. Torakura!

Without further ado, Toshiya Tadokoro immediately spoke.

"Teacher Torakura is already waiting for you, Mr. Mori. Please come with me."

Upon hearing this, Kogoro Mouri immediately straightened his clothes and followed.

However, as he passed through the courtyard, he noticed an exceptionally beautiful woman sketching the statue in the center of the pond. Instantly, Kogoro Mori felt a surge of lustful intent, and he instinctively said…

"So beautiful!" Ran Mouri standing next to her: ?
How could you say such a thing in front of your daughter?
Sensing Ran Mouri's disapproving gaze, Kogoro Mouri quickly chuckled awkwardly and said...

"Haha, who is this?"

Tadokoro Toshiya explained,
"This is Mr. Torakura's wife, Mrs. Torakura Etsuko."

—The drawing is alright.

Chen En commented in his mind from the side.

He also knows a little about painting.

Just like he also knows a little about cooking.

The group had just pushed open the villa's gate and entered.

The weather outside turned gloomy, and a few snowflakes began to fall.

Suddenly, Chen En turned around sharply and asked in surprise.

Chen En: ?
Are you kidding me? Cloudy turning overcast then snowy?

System, are you sure this difficulty level is low? Not medium?

Dracula is supposed to be one of Gotham City's villains, so why didn't I trigger any special missions? Are you sure there aren't any supernatural factors involved?

Chen En stopped.

Ran Mouri and the others ahead did not notice.

Looking at the interior decoration style, which resembled that of a castle in a vampire movie, Conan and Ran Mouri subconsciously felt a chill and unconsciously clutched their garlic and crucifix, hoping to gain a little psychological comfort.

Kogoro Mouri also sensed that something was off about the atmosphere.

However, remembering what he had said to Chen En earlier, he stubbornly continued walking forward.

—I just don't believe vampires really exist!
If you dare bite me, I'll show you what judo is all about!
Tick, tick, tick.

Go up the stairs.

When they arrived outside a dark corridor with no windows.

Toshiya Tadokoro said seriously,
"Next, Mr. Mori, please come with me alone to see Teacher Torakura."

Maori Kogoro:?

Am I alone? Really?
Kogoro Mouri instinctively took a half step back.

He glanced at Chen En, who had just caught up, and swallowed hard.

Do you want a cross?

Chen En pulled out another one from his bat-shaped belt and asked.

Upon hearing this, Kogoro Mouri hesitated for a moment before speaking.

"No need! Vampires don't exist in this world!"

He walked towards the end of the corridor with a death-defying spirit.

open the door.

To his horror, there was no light coming from inside the door, and even the windows were blocked off.

Kogoro Mori swallowed hard and walked inside.

The door behind me closed automatically.

The next moment, he saw a woman standing in the only light source in the room.

Kogoro Mouri was about to ask what was going on.

The next moment, Dracula, with his cloak, appeared out of thin air and bit the woman's neck.

With a scream, the woman immediately collapsed to the ground and fell into the darkness.

Kogoro Mouri was so frightened that he fell to the ground.

I only regret that I spoke too loudly and didn't ask Chen En for a cross.

However, after glancing at it, he realized it was a movie playing and immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Leaning against the wall, Kogoro Mori stood up, his legs feeling a little weak.

"Maori Kogoro?"

The next moment, a sinister voice, just like Dracula's in the movie, rang out.

Kogoro Mouri's eyes widened.

He looked at the vampire who looked exactly like Dracula in the movie, walking towards him step by step through the projection screen.

The strength I had just mustered vanished in an instant from fright.

He instinctively stepped back and said,
"Don't come near me!!!"

Holy crap, vampires really do exist in this world!
