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

Chapter 260 Saying No to Death

"We've made contact with the control tower... Oh no."

Chen En said in a serious voice,
The fact that SKJ865, which had lost contact with the control tower, re-established contact should have been a good thing, but the fact that such contact required a sufficiently close distance made it a bad thing.

It's like boarding a plane on September 11th and suddenly connecting to the Twin Towers' Wi-Fi signal during the flight!
At this moment, all passengers on flight SKJ865 are seated in their respective seats.
They fastened their seatbelts, even the two unconscious captains, the sleeping Kogoro Mouri, and the criminals who had fainted from pain. They were all secured with seatbelts and awaited the final emergency landing.

Ran Mouri felt a little uneasy.

However, she noticed that Sonoko Suzuki, who was sitting next to her and should normally be terrified, seemed quite calm, which puzzled her. She asked softly,

"Sonoko, aren't you scared?"

Hearing this, Sonoko Suzuki answered softly.

"Of course I was scared, but I knew I wouldn't die."

"Because... he said, 'Death won't come for you when you're ready.'"

—Who is this "he" referring to?
Chen En? But it seems Chen En didn't board the plane?
A hint of doubt appeared in Ran Mouri's eyes.
But she didn't ask any more questions. She just closed her eyes, prayed a little, and couldn't help but think of Shinichi, whom she hadn't seen for a while. Then, she thought of Conan, who was sitting in the driver's seat.

For some reason, she always felt a sense of familiarity when she looked at Conan, as if she had seen him somewhere before.

This sense of familiarity sometimes makes her subconsciously treat Conan as Shinichi.

But she would soon realize that Conan wasn't Shinichi, leading to a new sense of loss—if her phone could connect to other phones in other areas, she really wanted to call Shinichi right now.

Perhaps Shinichi has other solutions?

"Are you kidding me?! The driver's control stick is stuck!"

Conan's voice suddenly rang out from the driver's seat.
Sweat was already starting to bead on his forehead.

With the safety of everyone on the plane resting on his shoulders, he felt an immense sense of responsibility and pressure. But it was precisely this responsibility and pressure that allowed Conan to concentrate fully on handling this emergency landing.
However, the current unexpected situation still made Conan feel a sense of despair.

—If the initial issue was merely a stall in the aircraft, with the autopilot system and some instrument panels malfunctioning,

With his skills, he could have successfully landed the plane again, but now he had no choice, because this was a physical malfunction that would prevent the plane from continuing unless he could regain altitude and restore stable flight.

Otherwise, they wouldn't even have the possibility of fixing the problem.

However, the plane has now entered the emergency landing procedure, and its current altitude does not allow them to lift the plane back up.

The ever-decreasing data on the remaining dashboards, and the incessant "Pull Up" warning sound in his ears—all these signals seemed to be focused on one thing for Conan:

"Everything is possible."

Conan's will was tested, and he finally became somewhat discouraged.
He continued to try his best to control the plane and complete the emergency landing procedure, but to no avail. He said in a low, dejected voice,

"The system is saying, we're doomed."

He didn't even need to check the passenger seat. The two levers were connected to the same area. Since Conan's lever was stuck and unusable, Chen En's lever must be the same.

The aircraft's transmission system was damaged during the recent flight.

Death was approaching SKJ865, drawing ever closer, as if it had already raised its scythe, ready to fall and reap the lives of everyone on board. But then, a hand gripped the control stick.

"Do not."

Batman said.

An electric current surged within the glove, increasing his strength once more. Looking at the ground drawing ever closer, he spoke with certainty,
"I am not yet ready to die."

crunch————

Conan could even hear the creaking of the machinery.
He looked incredulously at the malfunctioning, jammed transmission system lever, which, under Chen En's force, was being pushed open once more—

"The mandate of heaven has not yet arrived."

The electric current rapidly stimulated Chen En's body, causing an even more terrifying burst of power. However, Chen En himself knew that he could not maintain it for long.

His body has not fully recovered.

When he made an emergency landing on flight SKJ865, a bolt of lightning from a great height struck his body directly, damaging the glider's thrusters and nearly stopping his heart.

He didn't die because he recreated the scene of Batman in the coffee cup in his own world.

—That seemingly magical remark, delivered in jest, miraculously pulled him back from the brink of death.

Even so, Chen En's body suffered internal injuries from the direct impact of the lightning. He had previously managed to use the Batsuit's electric stimulation system to wipe out the entire Black Mask crew within seconds.
He had already pushed his body to its limit, and now that the stun gloves were activated, he wasn't sure at what second the weak but still present current would stop his heart.

Even so, Chen En showed no intention of stopping, even though he believed he could survive the plane crash if he simply wanted to leave.
He simply said,
"Do you know? The most important principle for vigilantes is that there is only one from beginning to end."

The transmission system malfunction slowly succumbed to Batman's power.
Conan watched this unbelievable scene unfold.
His eyes widened, only to hear Chen En's words.

Never bow down to your enemy.

Under the shocked gaze of Chief Uesugi in the control room, the plane had entered the final stage of its emergency landing.

The plane landed on the ground, but then bounced up suddenly and continued to fall forward.

This extremely dangerous aircraft bouncing maneuver...
It could cause the entire plane to crash at any moment.
Say no to your enemies.

The plane was bouncing forward continuously.

Each jump felt like a boulder pressing down on everyone's hearts.

Conan finally heard Chen En say,
Say no to death.

Tear————

It was accompanied by a piercing friction sound and violent vibrations.

Under everyone's watchful eyes,
The plane finally made a successful emergency landing.

In an almost miraculous way!
