Chapter 80 The Great Magician VS The Great Sorcerer VS The Great Illusionist

Chapter 80 The Great Magician VS The Great Sorcerer VS The Great Illusionist
"Recently, a large quantity of explosives was stolen from an explosives depot. The thief has not yet been identified. Due to the large amount stolen, it has caused concern among citizens. The Japanese Public Security Bureau has announced that it will investigate the matter."

"The world-renowned illusionist Günter von Goldberg II has arrived in Tokyo today and will present the world's grandest illusion show at 8 p.m. tonight. Please look forward to it."

"Kaito Kid has sent out a notice that he will steal the world's largest pink sapphire at the Suzuki Foundation exhibition hall in two days. The famous detective Hakuba Saguru, who has returned from England, claims that he will capture Kaito Kid on that day."

Inside Chen En's rented apartment, the television was broadcasting recent news.

As Chen En watched the news broadcast on television, he couldn't help but frown.

—A large quantity of explosives has been stolen?
It doesn't sound like something that can be easily resolved. Recently, Beika Town is really in the midst of a storm, with all sorts of monsters and demons about to take the stage.

Chen En recalled the Dongdu Bank he had visited before.

At the time, Dr. Agasa mentioned Mihana Park near the East Capital Bank to him, and Chen En was surprised by the symmetry of Mihana Park when he passed by it.

After some investigation, it was discovered that it was indeed the work of the famous architect Teiji Moriya.

As one of the Nine Gates of Detective Conan who masters symmetry, Teiji Moriya has a serious tendency toward paranoia. In the movie, he tries to blow up some of the buildings he designed in his early years that were not symmetrical enough.

The theft of the bomb may also be related to Teiji Moriya.

"...Let's get a few cameras from Professor Agasa later, and then set them up at Teiji Moriya's house."

Chen En stroked his chin, pondering.

There is no security system in the world that can stop Batman.

I bet Teiji Moriya never imagined that he would be guarded against before he even made a move.

Since the case at the Red Flower Seaside Hotel today did not require the use of the Batman mode, Chen En can still temporarily transform into Gotham's Batman using the special effects of the coffee cup.

Even if he were discovered by security personnel at Moriya Teiji's manor, he could still conceal his identity and escape unscathed, which served as a kind of insurance mechanism.

As for the notice from Kaito Kid, Chen En already knew about it.

When he went to find Kaito Kid in the afternoon, Kaito Kuroba had already mentioned when and where he would be committing the theft, since Kaito Kuroba also needed Chen En's help to deal with the so-called eight-eyed spider mentioned in the prophecy.

But an eight-eyed spider?

Chen En thought of the news center he had just seen, specifically the section about the world's number one illusionist.

Could the so-called First Illusionist, Günter von Goldberg II, be connected to the Eight-Eyed Illusion Spider from the mysterious organization? And how could their appearances coincide so perfectly?

Even if it really is a coincidence, it doesn't matter.

Anyway, placing a locator and a listening device won't cause any problems; it's also for the safety of that illusionist.

—On another note.

Chen En remembered that Kaito Kuroba and the others had mentioned that they were going to the Tokyo Budokan to see a magic show tonight.

At this point, Kaito Kuroba should already be at the Tokyo Budokan.

Perhaps we could send a message and see what Kaito Kuroba says.

As one of the world's top magicians, Kaito Kuroba should be able to see through those illusions if he is on guard, right?
My mind is made up.

Chen En immediately used his mobile phone to send a message to Kaito Kuroba.

[I'm Batman, the Riddler. How are you feeling at the martial arts gym?]

------

In the audience seats of the Tokyo Budokan.

Kaito Kuroba took his phone out of his pocket with some confusion, glanced at the message on it, and fell silent.

Isn't it too hurtful to keep calling him a riddle teller?
I clearly told that guy who calls himself Batman not to call him the Riddler anymore.

So, should we use this term now, or this term?
"Kaito, whose message is this?"

Sitting to the left of Kaito Kuroba, Aoko Nakamori curiously peered over.

She paused briefly on the words Batman and the Riddler.

Then she looked confused with her beady eyes. "Hey, have you been attending any cosplay gatherings lately?"

Kaito Kuroba: ?
Well, at least this nickname isn't entirely useless.

"I think so? I think the names Riddler and Kuroba match quite well."

Sitting to Kaito Kuroba's right, Koizumi Akako, along with Nakamori Aoko, smiled and presented Kaito Kuroba with two sandwiches filled with cheese.

She came to see the show with Kaito Kuroba.

Of course, that's not what she said on the surface.

"The illusion performance hasn't started yet."

"However, mere illusions and magic tricks are nothing more than clumsy performances of magic. A great magician like me can see through the flaws of illusions at a glance, ahahahahaha!"

Kaito Kuroba turned his head to look at Akako Koizumi.

Well, he felt that Hongzi's laughter was a bit too loud for him.

The performance on stage has indeed not started yet.

Therefore, Kaito Kuroba quickly replied to Chen En with a message and then turned his attention to the setup of the scene.

Günter von Goldberg II, the world's greatest illusionist.

Known as a peerless master illusionist in the world of illusion.

However, in the eyes of Kaito Kuroba, a great magician.

So-called illusions are nothing more than a branch of magic that manipulates audio and light to produce hypnotic and visual effects.

Kaito Kuroba didn't come here to watch the show just to keep Aoko company.

Now that he had confirmed with Chen En and Koizumi Akako that the assassin who would be lying in ambush on him was someone who could use illusion magic, he naturally needed to understand what illusion magic actually looked like in order to be able to defend against it.

Of course, nothing will happen even if you don't take precautions.

There's no magic trick that Kaito Kuroba can't break!

"Ladies and gentlemen, good afternoon."

A great illusionist dressed in a tailcoat descended from the sky.

Günter von Goldberg II announced his arrival to everyone in a grand manner.

However, Kaito Kuroba could tell at a glance that this was just a perspective illusion created by using light to suspend the wires.

Can this alone be considered an illusion different from magic?
Just as Kaito Kuroba was filled with doubt.

Günter von Goldberg II has been born.

He snapped his fingers.

In the next instant, the entire Tokyo Budokan was surrounded by a sea of flowers.

Some children even have wings growing from their backs, like angels flying in the sky.

Kaito Kuroba: !
Was it a hallucination? When exactly did it happen?!
