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

Chapter 626 Let me help you become a legendary thief!
"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!!!!!"

"I won't tell you anything!!"

As the Four Gods' Mechanism Platform flickered, Phantom Thief Kid screamed repeatedly. Then, he suddenly stopped screaming and grinned as he drew a funny face.

"I lied to you."

"Shinichi Kudo, you're a couple of steps too slow."

"You should have come to the Suzuki Foundation Exhibition Hall earlier, because when I came to scout the location this afternoon, I had already tampered with the mechanism platform of the Four Gods Machine."

"You don't really think that I, as a magician, would perform a magic trick without any preparation, do you?"

……what?
Kaito Kid, was this something you expected?!

Conan was startled.

The next instant, the core mechanism pillar opened, and the amber unicorn and jade emperor stored inside immediately appeared.

Kaito Kuroba flicked his sleeve.

A rope suddenly flew out, wrapped around the Amber Kirin and the Jade Emperor, and immediately flew back to Kaito Kuroba's hands with the two top-grade jade pieces.

"This is what the nationally renowned phantom thief said."

"So, goodbye."

"Shinichi Kudo, I'll accept both the Amber Kirin and the Jade Emperor."

------

"What kind of Phantom Thief Kid is so amazing?"

"He even knows about mechanisms! This guy's skills are even higher than I imagined..."

"I said through gritted teeth," Suzuki Jirokichi said.

Damn it, I missed the best chance to defeat Phantom Thief Kid again today, but there's nothing I can do about it...

If it hadn't been discovered today...

He would never have known in his lifetime that Phantom Thief Kid was also an expert in mechanical arts and how to break them.

"So capable."

Kudo Yusaku remarked with emotion.

However, this level of skill alone might not be enough to defeat Shinichi.

He had great confidence in his son.

Even the current situation may not be entirely beyond Shinichi's control.

------

"Great, we won."

Kuroba Chikage said with a grin.

After all, he was her eldest son, the successor recognized by the first Phantom Thief Kid, a world-class magician, and a genius magician. It was only natural that he would win.

If Sonoko Suzuki heard her thoughts.

She'll probably complain that there's not enough room for everyone, but she won't hear it.

"Looks like we're really doomed."

"Neither the Jade Emperor nor the Amber Qilin will survive. Uncle was too confident in his mechanisms. They should have been placed on both sides as I guessed."

Suzuki Sonoko sighed.

While the Jade Emperor and the Amber Kirin could be described as priceless, they were nothing to the Suzuki Group.

She was simply lamenting that her uncle's efforts had failed once again.

This might be the closest Uncle has ever come to success; next time, he might not be able to assemble such a strong defensive combination.

However, Yukiko Kudo said...

"Not necessarily yet."

"This is far from over, isn't it, Ai?"

On the other end of the phone.

Ai Haibara's voice came through.

"Yes, it's far from over. Detective Hakuba has good judgment."

"He chose a famous detective who could really deal with Kaito Kid."

"This time it's really over."

------

"Kaitou Kidd."

"Do you really think you can walk away from me with two gems all by yourself?"

Conan said.

With his hand in his pocket, he pressed the remote control that Hakuba Saguru had given him. The next instant, accompanied by a rumbling sound, four mechanical doors suddenly slammed down.

The entire core area was instantly enveloped, leaving no gap for escape.

Even the ceiling only had a few small gaps for ventilation, leaving no room for Kaito Kid to escape.

"Catching a turtle in a jar".

Conan said.

"This is Hakuba Saguru's plan to deal with you. He knew you would be able to get here, so he arranged it this way."

"His original plan was to seal off all escape routes and create a closed space when you and he both appeared here at the same time."

"Then release hypnotic gas inside."

"Only one person can get the remote control to open the sealed space, or Suzuki Jirokichi can open the sealed space after both of them have fallen down."

"This plan is good, but I'll make some minor modifications."

"No hypnotic gas is needed."

“I know you’re wearing a gas mask, just like me. If Hakuba Saguru really uses this method, then it will only make Hakuba Saguru lose this round for no reason.”

"But he handed the remote control to me."

"Then the situation would be completely different."

Conan took the remote control out of his pocket and showed it to Kaito Kid, then put it back in his pocket and said.

"You have to beat me."

"In this confined space, you have to defeat me head-on to have any chance of getting the remote control from me and escaping from here."

“I know that Kyogoku Makoto is trapped by you.”

“But it will take him less than five minutes to get here, while your performance just now has already taken up two and a half minutes.”

"You have at most two minutes to defeat me and escape the Suzuki Foundation Exhibition Hall. Otherwise, even if you manage to defeat me and open the door, you will run into Makoto Kyogoku the moment you step outside, and then it will truly be game over."

"Do you understand now, Phantom Thief Kid?"

Kaito Kuroba's face darkened.

Damn it, I must have had the worst luck in eight lifetimes to run into you two clowns.

Hakuba Saguru's plan is excellent.

However, if it were actually implemented, it wouldn't be able to trap him; it would only allow him to escape after dealing with Hakuba Saguru.

Conan's fighting ability is also very high.

However, if the situation isn't completely sealed off, Conan can defeat him, but he can't keep him here.

Neither of the two individuals alone could achieve the same effect on him, but their combined setups are enough.

This is really bad.

Kaito Kuroba quietly pinched the two precious gems in his hand, his hand unable to stop rubbing them.

He was thinking about how to get out of here.

However, in the instant he was thinking, the soccer ball, like a punch, grazed past his face and slammed into a nearby pillar, instantly snapping it in half.

Kuroba Kaito:?
Are you kidding me?

I seem to remember the last time I met you, your football wasn't this powerful. Did you upgrade your football again?

Are you bored and want to upgrade your football's power? What are you trying to do?

Do you want to kick the satellite?

Kaito Kuroba's expression stiffened.

"Hey, can we reconcile?"

he whispered.

To this, Conan simply replied.

"At this moment? Are you kidding me?"

Another soccer ball has appeared at Conan's feet, and his soccer cleats are once again demonstrating their powerful performance.

Conan simply bent down and whispered.

"Do you know him? Mr. Phantom Thief."

"All phantom thieves often become famous after their death or after their capture; their fame is built on the moment of their capture or death."

"So, Mr. Phantom Thief."

"Let me help you become a legendary thief!"

The football was sparkling with light.
