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

Chapter 226 What? Phantom Thief Kid is an organization?
I am Chen En. I have just finished my battle with Makoto Kyogoku and am about to return home as agreed.

However, the situation has changed slightly.

A special mission has been triggered; members of the Assassin's Guild are assassinating the Riddler again.

Therefore, I need to go first, take care of the Assassin's Guild members, and then go back.

Fortunately, this won't waste much time.

------

Snake aimed at Kaito Kid and Conan, who were gliding one after the other through the night sky.

He pulled the trigger without hesitation.

Accompanied by the sound of a large-caliber sniper rifle, which, even after being silenced, still made noise.

The bullet tore through the air at incredible speed and shot out.

However, this time the bullets failed to achieve the desired effect.

The bullet did indeed hit Kaito Kid's hang glider.

However, the next moment, Kaito Kid's hang glider suddenly detached.

As Kaito Kid descended, a second hang glider inexplicably extended out.

This guy not only didn't die from the fall.

They even move faster!

Snake: ?

Is this...is this still human?
Physics no longer exists!
He immediately set up his sniper rifle and aimed it at the other glider.

No matter what,
He has to snipe at least one of them.
There's no reason for the Air Force to be involved in missions!
However, after Snake fired the first shot, Conan, who was chasing after him using a hang glider, realized the sniper's presence and began to use the hang gliding skills he had learned in Hawaii to move around using tall buildings as cover.

As a result, Snake was unable to fire his second shot for a long time.

Seeing this scene, he couldn't help but slap the fence in anger.

—Oh no, the air force is down!
"That despicable Phantom Thief Kid!"

Snake angrily cursed.

The next moment, he winced in pain and pulled his hand back, preparing to pack up the sniper rifle and run away.

Then he saw something.

It's a hang glider.

Another white hang glider.

Another white pilot, with two hang gliders already chasing each other, flew directly towards Snake! Masaka?!
Was I the target?!

------

Kaito Kuroba's face was very dark.

He knew there would be an attack, but he hadn't expected Conan to be so troublesome, to the point that he couldn't escape from him. He needed to find another way...

Wait, that's Chen En!
Kaito Kuroba looked up at the other Phantom Thief Kid who was flying.

Great! It's Chen En! We're saved!
Let Chen En help us get rid of those little devils behind us!

------

Conan was in a bad mood.

He hadn't expected Kaito Kid to be so troublesome, nor had he anticipated that someone would be setting up a sniper rifle in the middle of the night. This was truly an unexpected and unusual situation, making it difficult for him to pursue him so closely...

Wait, that's Chen En!
Conan noticed Kaito Kid flying towards the Suzuki Foundation Exhibition Hall from a distance.

Great! It's Chen En! We're saved!
Let Chen En help us catch the real Phantom Thief Kid!
------

Just as Conan and Kaito Kuroba were looking forward to it.

They saw that Chen En's glider seemed to have two miniature thrusters attached to the back. Without even glancing at the two of them, it flew directly in the direction from which the bullets had just come, disappearing from sight in the blink of an eye.

Kaito Kuroba, Conan: ?

Okay, that's understandable.

Compared to dealing with this brat/phantom thief Kid, it's definitely more important to take care of the sniper first.

------

"How can there be so many Phantom Thieves like Kid?"

"Could it really be as Spider said, that Phantom Thief Kid isn't the original Kuroba Toichi? Instead, it's a new Phantom Thief Kid? No, Kuroba Toichi is dead, so where did this successor come from?" "Kill one, resurrect two? Hydra, huh?"

Snake's face darkened.

Damn it, I'm the snake!

None of you are!
He spoke directly into the communicator beside him.
"Information error! Information error!"

"There isn't just one Phantom Thief Kid. He might be someone trained by some organization specifically to oppose us. Phantom Thief Kid could very well be an organization itself!"

Snake said this.
He set up his sniper rifle and aimed it at the incoming Phantom Thief Kid.

They were about to fire.

However, the instant his eyes rested on the sniper scope,

A strong light hits.

Snake could only rely on instinct and fired two shots randomly.

When he opened his eyes,

The phantom thief Kid who was flying towards him had already disappeared.

—Did it hit?

The thought flashed through Snake's mind.

The next moment, a hand was placed on his shoulder.
Someone said,

"Missing."

Snake: !

Without a second thought, Snake drew his pistol and fired a shot with a backhand.
Unfortunately, he doesn't know the gunfight technique that makes bullets curve.
Therefore, Snake had no chance of hitting the person behind him.

The pistol disintegrated instantly.

With one hand on Snake's shoulder, he exerted force and slammed Snake against the wall next to him.

Suddenly, Snake felt as if his internal organs were all out of place.

This immense power left him stunned.

Phantom Thief Kid is clearly just a thief.
Why allocate such a high strength stat? Are you trying to die?
"I want to know, who are you?"

A crowbar was now pressed against Snake's face.

However, Snake was not afraid of this at all.
He simply stared intently at the Phantom Thief Kid in front of him and said,
"Go ahead and kill me if you dare!"

Kaito Kid replied,
"I have never been fond of fighting, so I can only resolve conflicts."

His hand touched the bat-shaped belt, and the next moment...
The smoke grenade, designed to resemble poison gas, was brought out.

"Come on, let's talk."

------

[Mission: Assassin's Guild - Hunt]

The Assassins' League relentlessly pursues the Riddler, and you cannot allow such vile murders to occur in your city, even if the victim is merely a supervillain. Therefore, the bats will strike again at night, soaring through the skies!

[Reward: Ventriloquist's Hand Puppet]

[Note: This wouldn't be difficult for Batman; as long as he doesn't want the murder to happen, the assassins of the League of Assassins could never do it.]

------

【Item Name: Ventriloquist's Hand Puppet】

[Note 1: You can freely design the appearance of the hand puppet.]

[Note 2: When you wear the hand puppet, you will experience a split personality, developing a second personality with some of the physical attributes. This second personality will struggle for control of your body until you remove the hand puppet.]

------

"What good is this?"

"Will you make me schizophrenic?"

Chen En stared at the puppet in his hand, lost in thought.

He put away the bloodstained crowbar.

Without even glancing at Snake, who was still gripped by fear of the poison gas, he...
Instead, he dialed Makoto Kusakabe's number.
"Two-faced man, we've got a job."

　We still owe 95 + 18 - 8 = 105 chapters!
　　I'm not going to stop here, so... please don't stop!
