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

Chapter 514 The Unseen Fourth Party

"Mr. Chen En, it's been a long time."

"I looked into the situation in Tokyo before I returned to China. It sounds like you've been incredibly busy lately."

Hakuba Saguru's voice was relaxed.

This was completely unlike the person who had described in his previous messages to Chen Enfa as having experienced a life-threatening crisis in Canada.

However, some time has passed since the attack, and Chen En guessed that Hakuba Saguru must have made ample preparations elsewhere, which is why he returned to Tokyo at this time.

"Yes, it's been a long time, Mr. White Horse."

"And Mr. Kyogoku, I didn't expect you to be discharged from the hospital so quickly. It seems your recovery in the hospital went very well... How's your arm? Can you still use it like before?"

Upon hearing this, Kyogoku Makoto clenched his fist and answered affirmatively.
"Of course, my arm has fully recovered."

With a casual flick of his arm, powerful force and speed sliced ​​through the air, creating a whooshing sound. Just hearing that sound, Chen En knew that Kyogoku Makoto was not lying.

The previous attack by the Bermuda ghost Hawk did not defeat this fighter from the Detective Conan universe.

On the contrary, after this attack, Makoto Kyogoku's physical abilities and skills improved once again. He is probably about to surpass the limitations of advanced fighting techniques.

Hakuba Saguru, who came with Kyogoku Makoto, glanced at Kyogoku Makoto beside him.

A hint of surprise appeared in his eyes.

The reason he came with Makoto Kyogoku was simply to find Chen En. It just so happened that Makoto Kyogoku had also received an invitation from Jirokichi Suzuki, so he just gave Makoto Kyogoku a ride.

It now appears that this martial arts champion with a 400-win streak is much stronger than he imagined.

Presumably only martial artists of this caliber possess the strength to contend with superhumans.

Thinking of this, Hakuba Saguru stroked his chin, recalling some other famous martial artists.

He didn't come back empty-handed this time.

Although the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department's equipment level has made a leap forward due to the previous appearance of the Bermuda Triangle, all of that equipment can only be used if it is deployed in advance.

Trying to deal with the illusionist Spider from the mysterious organization, and the person next to Spider, is simply wishful thinking.

To truly confront those guys, we need some other methods.

For example, there are science fiction gadgets made by famous designers, or other magical gadgets...

"Um, put me down first..."

Sonoko Suzuki blushed and whispered in Chen En's ear.

Hearing this, Chen En nodded slightly, released his grip, and let Suzuki Sonoko land. Then, he put his hands in his pockets and asked why the two were there.

Although he already had a guess in his heart.

"Of course, it was Mr. Suzuki who sent us to deal with Phantom Thief Kid!" x2
This answer is really a headache.

Chen En rubbed his forehead.

He had a feeling that Kaito Kid was likely to get beaten to a pulp this time around.

After all, Makoto Kyogoku has made further progress after his previous injuries. Without wearing the Bat Suit, he can rely solely on his super intuition and even hand-to-hand combat, and he can also enter a burst state on his own, making him stronger than he was in the Fist of Blue Sapphire movie.

And Hakuba Saguru goes without saying.

In the original storyline, he almost used a gadget to take down Kaito Kid. This time, he was attacked by a spider in Canada and narrowly escaped death. Who knows, he might have some weird or strange things stuffed in his pocket.

One scholar and one warrior, the arrangement was perfectly clear.

Even if he wanted to release water, he couldn't...

"Oh, right, besides us, someone else was invited." "However, that person has mobility issues and can't come like us. But she will be there when Phantom Thief Kid takes action on the day he's notified."

Hakuba Saguru then added a few words, saying with a smile.

"That's a very famous and highly skilled detective."

—Are there still experts?
A look of surprise appeared in Chen En's eyes.

He, Hakuba Saguru, and Kyogoku Makoto—three aren't enough. We need to add one more to make a four-person team.

Is it really necessary to go to such great lengths to deal with Phantom Thief Kid?

"Hey, you guys, stop standing outside and come help us!"

Jirokichi Suzuki's voice came from inside the temple.

The advisor to the Suzuki Foundation seemed to be getting impatient with the organization; you could sense Suzuki Jirokichi's annoyance just by listening to his voice.

In response, Chen En put his hands in his pockets and calmly said,

"Please, Mr. Hakuba, Mr. Kyogoku."

After he finished speaking, he led Sonoko into the temple.

Behind them, Kyogoku Makoto's gaze fell on Suzuki Sonoko's arm linked with Chen En's.

His eyes sharpened.

However, Hakuba Saguru, standing nearby, calmly said,
"Mr. Kyogoku, would you like to meet some martial arts masters from other eras?"

"For example, that [Shakyamuni in the Sword]?"

Upon hearing this, Makoto Kyogoku's attention immediately shifted to Hakuba Saguru.

A look of surprise appeared in his eyes.

—The Shakyamuni in the Sword? Does that refer to the one from four hundred years ago?
But isn't there a saying that the person is already dead?

"...It seems that the world is not as simple as I thought."

Makoto Kyogoku said with a hint of joy.

His biggest goal right now is to pursue even higher levels of martial arts. Everything else can be put aside for now. He can think about those things after he reaches the pinnacle of martial arts.

He followed the white horse into the temple, and couldn't help but ask,
“Mr. White Horse, since Shakyamuni in the sword is not yet dead…”

"Then are there any other powerful figures from different eras still alive? If we're talking about unarmed combat skills, then I think the one who reached the pinnacle of martial arts must be that legendary marksman?"

Hearing this, Hakuba Saguru pondered for a moment, then shook his head and replied,

"I don't know about that."

"In fact, the rumor that the Shakyamuni in the sword is still alive is just something I heard secondhand. As for the divine spearman from the great Eastern country? I don't know. Things there are blocked by the Internet Great Firewall, so it's hard for them to spread."

"However, if I had to say... there should be similar figures still alive today."

That's it.

Makoto Kyogoku nodded slightly.

The two of them entered the mountain temple together. At this moment, Chen En was already standing in front of the so-called Four Gods Mechanism. His gaze swept over it and finally settled on the riddle of the builder.

Those who wish to obtain the Qilin through improper means must submit themselves and transform their form.

This isn't difficult.
