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

Chapter 403 Can't I be an oracle?

"...Please believe that the Cocoon Games Project is an absolutely groundbreaking and ambitious plan, a completely new type of game that is capable of changing the entire game market and creating a new blue ocean in the game market!"

"Alright, without further ado, please take turns entering the stage with your game badges and get ready to play!"

After using Yusaku Kudo's mystery novel to generate buzz,
Thomas Sindora then stepped down from the stage in high spirits. After exchanging pleasantries with the other celebrities, he headed backstage. Seeing this, Conan frowned, knowing where Thomas Sindora might be going.

Either go to the control room to adjust the game content of Cocoon, or go to the database to kill Kashimura Tadahira.

He wanted to go and take a look, but as for the Cocoon Game, compared to the potential murders in reality, he figured it was better not to play it.

However, just as Conan was about to give up on entering and go backstage to check the situation,
Ai Haibara patted his shoulder and said softly,
"It's still in the planning stages, Detective. Shouldn't you try to trust Batman a little more?"

"After all, Batman always says you're his Robin, so you should at least look like Robin."

Conan:?
I already said, I'm not his Robin at all!

When did I say I was Robin? Don't just randomly assign me this kind of character setting, just like the previous statement that I wanted to be a magical girl, it's completely fictional and baseless!

Just as Conan frowned, he suddenly noticed that Ai Haibara was wearing an earphone on one ear.

He was taken aback for a moment and asked,

"You were on a call with him? From the moment you connected?"

Ai Haibara nodded as if it were the most natural thing in the world.

Upon seeing this, Conan felt a strange sense of sadness welling up inside him.

Damn it, I was here first! Whether it's solving the case or deducing the truth, why... Chen En actually shares information with Ai Haibara but not with him? Is it because of Ai Haibara... Oh wait, could Ai Haibara have actually accepted the Robin title?

Conan blinked, glanced to the side, and, before it was their turn to enter,

He quickly moved closer to Ai Haibara and asked in a low voice,
"You didn't actually accept the title Chen En gave you, did you?"

Ai Haibara nodded slightly and replied.

"Yes, there's no loss involved."

Upon hearing this, Conan couldn't help but feel a deep sense of respect.

Ai Haibara is quite a character; she can accept this title? No wonder Chen En was willing to share information with Ai Haibara. If he were Chen En, with a female Robin like her, he would definitely agree to share the title as well.

Just as the two of them were about to go through security, Conan casually asked,
"Oh, by the way, what generation of Robin did he say you were?"

To this, Ai Haibara simply replied calmly,

“When did I say I was Robin? He said I was the Oracle.”

Conan:?
Oracle? Not Robin? Not Robin??? Who is Oracle? Is there even such a superhero?
Conan froze for a moment, only snapping out of his daze when Ran called his name. He quickly followed, his face somewhat grim. He leaped into the game pod, still deep in thought.
Why is Ai Haibara's title so unique?
How did it become Robin's turn? I'm furious. When will boys be allowed to stand up for themselves? Why can't he be an oracle? Uh… I don't know why, but this title feels a bit off. I'll look it up later…?
The game pod of Cocoon Games slowly closed.

------

Thomas Sindora's heart was already burning with murderous intent.

This Kashimura Tadahira is really shameless. At first, he only suspected that Kashimura Tadahira had a genetic backup of the DNA tracing system, and he didn't plan to kill Kashimura Tadahira so quickly.
But now, Kashimura Tadahira dares to act disrespectfully towards him and use this genetic backup to blackmail him. It's outrageous!

—Ever since Thomas Sindora learned that he was a descendant of Jack the Ripper,
He could feel the blood of Jack the Ripper resurfacing in his veins, and he was certain that Jack the Ripper's will was entwined around him, allowing him to transform into the deepest darkness of the nineteenth century at any moment.

(To be honest, I think 19th-century Britain was far darker than Jack the Ripper; they were utterly immoral.)
call out----

While everyone's attention was focused on the opening of the Cocoon game livestream, Thomas Sindora snatched the dagger from the Jack the Ripper statue beside him.

This is a real knife, incredibly sharp, capable of easily taking a life.

He walked step by step from the bright hall into the dim backstage, his sharp knife flashing in his hand, performing a knife trick. Although he had hardly ever held a knife in his life, he felt as if the sharp knife in his hand was his own arm.

Thomas Sindora moved toward the database where Tadahiro Kashimura was located.
He lowered his grip on the dagger and walked step by step toward where Kashimura Tadahira was. All of this was recorded by the hidden surveillance cameras installed in the corridor.

Chen En frowned slightly as he watched the surveillance footage.
He noticed that Thomas Sindora seemed to actually have some skill. Judging from the level of combat specialization, this guy should at least have a low-level specialization in a single combat style. But this was too outrageous!
This old man is fifty-two years old. He has lived a life of luxury and has never touched a knife. Yet now he is demonstrating this level of footwork.

Don't tell me that Jack the Ripper's blood is something real in Tama, and that sword skills and physical abilities can really be passed down to the next generation through bloodline—did Yusaku Kudo ever mention this?

What does it matter if the murderer is of the same blood? What does it matter what the world thinks? Why didn't you fight against him?

—Never mind, that's not a problem.

Chen En waited for Thomas Sindora to appear, and a system light screen appeared in front of him.

[Special Mission: The Hunt for Mr. Zass]

From the moment Victor Zass's suicide attempt came into contact with the blade, a thirst for blood and slaughter awakened within him. He desperately wanted to kill those who displeased him. In accurate historical accounts, Mr. Zass's targets were often young women, and he killed at least dozens of innocent people. As Batman, you have a duty to stop him.

[Reward: Firefly Tail Wing]

[Note: He is cruel.]

----Yeah?
Chen En didn't take it seriously.

The next moment, Thomas Sindora burst through the door, raising his dagger to strike at Kashimura Tadahira. However, a hand had already grabbed Thomas Sindora's knife-wielding arm, the immense force distorting Thomas Sindora's face.

The pain made him lose his grip on the knife, and as it fell to the ground, Chen En clenched his fist.

"Let me see just how cruel you can be!"
