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

Chapter 538 The Labyrinth of Fear
At this moment, Batman's figure was severely distorted and deformed.

The figure looked as terrifying as a demon from hell, its bat wings spreading out and obscuring the sky. Just seeing this scene made Nishino Miki almost have a heart attack.

Is this even human? What happened?

So Batman isn't actually human, but some kind of vampire or demon?

So Batman only appears at night? Because he's unrecognizable in sunlight?

"This...this is an illusion, no, it can't be..."

Miki Nishino's voice trembled.

She could no longer stand and collapsed to the ground, backing away.

Although she felt it was an illusion.

However, the incredibly realistic scene around her told her that this was not an illusion, but something that truly existed: Batman had really become a monster!
"Are you ready?"

The hideous demonic monster uttered whispers that sounded like they came from hell.

That terrifyingly large and terrifying bat symbol was suddenly pulled out by Batman and transformed into a huge and dangerous axe.

"That Tamar is an axe...?"

Even in an environment of extreme fear.

Miki Nishino was stunned for a moment when she saw what was happening in front of her.

She couldn't recall any urban legend about Batman using his bat symbol as an axe.

But it's okay, it will be available starting today.

The enormous bat-shaped battle axe swung down with a mighty crash.

The howling wind and the real threat of death made Miki Nishino instinctively dodge away.

The next moment, the bat-shaped battle axe cleaved down, severing several strands of hair.

When Nishino Miki saw this, she finally panicked.

As a member of an urban legend, she naturally knew that the events in urban legends were severely distorted. However, the distortion in her urban legend lay in her fighting abilities, while the distortion in Batman's urban legend...

It lies in Batman's modus operandi!

The battle axe was raised high once again.

Miki Nishino immediately kicked off her ill-fitting shoes, scrambled to her feet, and ran towards the outside of Beika Park.

She felt this was the only way she could survive Batman.

—Batman might kill, but he certainly wouldn't kill in front of other people.

She can survive as long as she can see other people.

"I must live, I must take revenge, I..."

Miki Nishino, as if hypnotized, frantically ran towards her goal.

However, the original exit of Mihana Park has disappeared at some point.

The surrounding environment also deteriorated rapidly as she ran.

What was originally just a slightly complicated park has now become like a maze, winding and turning, and no matter how she runs, she cannot find the exit.

But the black figure remained a constant shadow behind them.

It was as if if she slowed down even slightly, the battle axe would not hesitate to chop off her head and put on a good show.

She could only run endlessly.

She continued until she was out of breath and could run no more.

Batman, who was behind them, had disappeared without a trace.

Miki Nishino breathed a sigh of relief, just as she was about to celebrate her escape.

However, just as she looked up, trying to confirm where she was in Mihana Park, she saw that the surrounding environment no longer resembled Mihana Park at all.

She saw the pillars of salt and the pools of sulfur, and heard the voices of others filled with hatred.

The voice sounded incredibly familiar; she was certain she had heard it before.

That was a scream.

The screams of the long-haired women she killed with the hammer.

Miki Nishino turned her head, trembling, to look behind her.

She saw the victims crawling out of the lava pool, still in their horrific state, crawling towards her bit by bit, like ghosts coming to claim her life.

Miki Nishino, once a hammer-wielding serial killer, thoroughly enjoyed the screams of her victims. Every time those people participated, it was like the screams of the people she hated most, chilling to the bone.

Now, she is truly experiencing the fear of being on the verge of death.

She saw someone look up at her at that moment.

someone said.

"We've finished screaming, now it's your turn."

—Is it my turn?

A hint of fear appeared in Miki Nishino's eyes.

The next moment, the slain souls rushed towards her frantically. Even though Miki Nishino wielded the murder weapon that had killed them, it was to no avail. The weapon passed right through the victims' bodies, leaving no trace of reality.

Faced with the revenge of the dead.

The only thing Miki Nishino could do was run away.

Just like those victims who were attacked by her without warning and then instinctively ran away.

However, she had nowhere to escape.

A solid touch came from behind.

The next moment, the horde of ghosts devoured her, and all she could do was scream.

------

The touch of death is so real.

However, when Miki Nishino opened her eyes, she found herself still in Beika Park.

The demon-like figure spread its bat wings once more.

The battle axe gleamed with a dangerous silver light in his hand.

Seeing this alone, Miki Nishino's eyes widened.

She realized that everything was starting from scratch.

The threat of death filled her mind.

This time, she scrambled towards the exit of Mihana Park before the bat-axe even fell.

However, the result was the same as before.

Salt columns and sulfur pools have replaced the trees in Mihana Park.

The ghosts of the dead surged out of the sulfur pool once more, leaving her with nowhere to retreat.

She died amidst the devouring of ghosts, but when she opened her eyes, she reappeared at the very starting point.

Once again, once again, and once more.

Miki Nishino appeared once again in a familiar place.

She sat between the sulfur pool and the salt columns, watching in horror as the ghosts that had gnawed at her time and time again crawled out of the sulfur pool. In her terror, she apologized to the dead and begged for mercy, but the result would not change.

She watched as the ghosts crawled toward her once again.

Miki Nishino braced herself against the ground, backing away in terror as she screamed.

"Don't come over!!!"

This time, Miki Nishino didn't hit the wall.

She ran outside, sobbing uncontrollably, completely unaware that the illusion behind her had vanished. It wasn't until she bumped into the front of a car and fell to the ground that she snapped out of her daze and looked around.

This is no longer a hell filled with sulfur pools and salt pillars, but reality.

Miki Nishino shouted with ecstasy,

"I escaped! I escaped—"

Click.

Miki Nishino: ?
She stared blankly down at the handcuffs on her hands, then looked up at the fat man in the brown coat in front of her.

The fat man said,

"not at all."

"In my capacity as an inspector of the Third Division of the First Investigation Section of the Criminal Investigation Department of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, I hereby announce this."

"【Hammer Serial Killer】Nishino Miki, you're under arrest!"
