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

Chapter 655 A Witch Beyond a Witch

What do you think of his performance?

"Being able to hold Batman back for so long means that the restraint effect is definitely up to standard. My judgment wasn't wrong, was it?"

"This is what the mysterious organization's codename, Killer Salamander, said."

They are now inside the former cave base, and in the potion pool behind them, the Red Hood, who was originally in the abandoned warehouse, is now lying.

Just as the Purple Witch had said before.

After the potion's effects wear off.

The man with the red hood was taken directly back to the cave. He was still unconscious due to the effects of the previous magical item.

The spider held the salamander in utter contempt.

He said seriously.

"If that's the case..."

"Back then, I single-handedly fought against both Batman and Phantom Thief Kid, and almost managed to kill them both. Doesn't that make me even more powerful?"

Salamander: ?
Don't you feel like laughing when you say that?
The salamander gave a disapproving look.

Then he asked directly.

“Alright, then in the upcoming operation against Lady Thief, you will deal with Phantom Thief Kid and Batman, and we will provide backup.”

Since you think you can do it, then go ahead and do it.

After all, Batman's previous fighting abilities had been clearly demonstrated in the magic mirror, so confronting this guy head-on was obviously not a good idea.

If spiders could really do that.

The salamander felt that he, the witch, and the red-hooded figure didn't need to personally intervene; they only needed to ensure that no one else disturbed the spider.

spider:?
I'm not a buddy, I was just saying.

If I could really fight Batman and Phantom Thief Kid all by myself, I wouldn't have been so badly defeated by Batman back then.

The spider shook its head slightly.

He reached up and touched his forehead, sighing.

"We should at least give you, the new head of the Tokyo area, a chance to prove yourself."

"Dealing with Batman would be a great achievement."

"After all, Batman is seen as a major threat, just like Phantom Thief Kid, in that gentleman's eyes."

You make it sound so nice.

If you were actually asked to go up and fight Batman, you'd chicken out again. You're a disgrace to the Mysterious Organization.

The assessment is that he's been a celebrity for too long.

They've really turned their main profession into a celebrity's, prioritizing saving face at all costs.

They ignored the spider.

The salamander turned to look at the red hood in the potion pool, tapped its finger lightly on its forehead, and asked with a hint of doubt in its eyes.

"Witch, what's with the red hood?"

"Was it because a massive explosion occurred inside the abandoned warehouse, directly damaging Red Hood's body and causing him to need time to heal?"

That's not surprising.

When he found the Red Hood in another abandoned warehouse, the Red Hood was also badly injured by a bomb and was on the verge of death.

If he were to be blown up like this again, it wouldn't be surprising.

About this question.

The Purple Witch glanced at the salamander and replied.

"of course not."

"While that level of explosion was enough to damage Red Hood, it wasn't enough to bring him to the same near-death state as before."

"It seems that he has fallen into a coma due to the backlash of the magical item's effect."

"It will probably take a little more time to recover."

The Purple Witch recalls what happened before.

She thought that the person in the red hood knew that he wouldn't be killed by the bomb, so he threw Kazami Yuya out of the warehouse before the bomb exploded.

The scene of a second fake death was created by using a bomb.

For some reason, this guy seems like he's very calculating... He's the kind of person who's incredibly troublesome.

Fortunately, she only needs to be in charge for this period of time. Once this mission is over, whether or not Batman is killed.

She could just leave and fly away.

I no longer have to deal with this red hood.

Thinking of this, the Purple Witch felt much more relaxed.

She placed her crystal ball aside.

After finishing all the important things she needed to do today, she finally had some free time to gossip.

"I said."

"Doesn't your mysterious organization also have a witch? And she's proficient in divination magic and isn't bound by the Seven-Colored Witch's contract."

"Why not just ask that witch for help? Is she, a witch from a mysterious organization, less reliable than an outsider like me?"

She asked with some curiosity.

There are indeed witches within the mysterious organization.

That's the origin of the legend of Pandora's Stone.

When Comet Boreas, which comes close to Earth once every 10,000 years, streaks across the sky.

Point the Pandora Stone at the full moon, and Pandora's Tears, which grant immortality when consumed, will drip from inside the gem.

Ten thousand years is too far away.

Before the dawn of human civilization, it was clearly impossible to obtain this message through normal means, let alone verify its authenticity.

But the mysterious organization firmly believes this.

It's not because their history is even longer than human history, but because they also have a witch within them.

The Pandora Stone is said to be a prophecy of the witch, and the idea that it is hidden inside a large gemstone also comes from this.

That witch was quite mysterious and unpredictable.

Moreover, she is not any of the seven witches, but a witch outside of the witches.

Even the Purple Witch was quite curious about this mysterious organization's witch, because she had never actually seen this person before.

People from the mysterious organization are here now.

With nothing else to do, she decided to ask about the situation to clear up her doubts.

"you are right……"

The salamander frowned.

He and the spider exchanged a glance, each seeing the seriousness in the other's eyes, then shook their heads in unison and answered.

"The existence of that witch may not be entirely the same as what you imagine."

"Moreover, we haven't seen that witch for a long time, so we can't get in touch with her at all. Therefore, there's no way we can ask that witch for help."

However, speaking of which...

The salamander, however, spoke with some doubt.

"But before that, the witch left another divination about the Pandora Stone, and we still don't know what it was about."

She said Pandora was a box of calamities.

"And the Pandora Stone is naturally also a stone of calamity; the act of pursuing the Pandora Stone will itself bring a series of calamities."

"In fact, the very existence of the Pandora Stone could lead the fate of the entire world in an unknowable and unpredictable direction."

"That's why that gentleman sped up his search for various gems."

"To prevent any more trouble at night."

Can a single gemstone change the fate of the entire world, or even unleash calamity?

for this statement.

The Purple Witch, also a witch, scoffed, completely disbelieving, and simply said...

"If only a gemstone could have that power."

"The world has long been in chaos, but that's just nonsense. How come I haven't noticed that the world's fate has been thrown into chaos because of it?"

If the world descends into chaos, what's the point of her making money?
