The Pirated Onmyoji of the Detective World

Immediately afterwards, a powerful shockwave spread outwards from the two of them, causing even the concrete ground to crack instantly and kicking up a cloud of dust.

A few seconds later, the dust settled.

The armored knight's attack failed. Koizumi Akako simply held the scythe in one hand, blocking the incoming gunfire with the blade in front of her.

She even managed to block the impact of the warhorse without moving an inch.

Instead, the armored warhorse shuddered violently and collapsed to its knees with a neigh due to the powerful impact.

"Haha~"

Koizumi Akako parted her alluring red lips slightly, and with a cold laugh, the red light of the scythe in her hand intensified. After deflecting the knight's lance, she slashed fiercely at the knight, displaying immense power.

"not good!"

Upon seeing this, the knight suddenly had a bad feeling.

However, because his warhorse had completely fallen to the ground and could not move, he had no choice but to jump off the horse in the hope of avoiding the attack.

However, the mechanical giant closing in from behind did not give him this chance, attacking him from behind.

"!!!"

The knight's pupils contracted, and he pushed off with both legs, but he was only half a step back when the mechanical giant slammed him back to his original position.

Immediately afterwards, with a flash of red light, the once incredibly tough armor was cleaved in two at the waist by the scythe in Koizumi Akako's hand!

"Ah!" With an angry roar, the armored knight was cleaved in two by Koizumi Akako.

The next second, Koizumi Akako delivered another blow, finally freeing the neighing warhorse from its slumber.

Done.

Koizumi Akako also turned back to look at the somewhat dumbfounded Aragaki Yu, and then licked her lips seductively at him.

Subsequently, the previously deadlocked situation instantly turned into a one-sided affair due to the addition of Hotaru and Koizumi Akako, who were now free to act, as well as the mechanical giant controlled by her.

The toad monster fighting alongside Senhime was excitedly firing at her, preparing to finish her off, when all the hail of bullets was blocked by the mechanical giant that suddenly appeared in front of Senhime.

The bullets struck the mechanical giant, leaving only white dots on its armor, leaving it completely unharmed.

Before the toad monster could express its surprise, it felt as if it had been hit by a train in the back, then felt a sweet taste in its throat, and flew forward.

It turned out that Firefly Grass had appeared behind him at some point and swung her dandelion seeds at his back.

Chapter 501 Time Bud

Seeing the toad-like monster flying backwards, Senhime, having regrouped, showed no mercy.

"Qian Xi!"

With a soft cry from Senhime, a wave of water splashed out.

The tide, carrying immense energy, slammed fiercely into the toad monster, completely engulfing it.

In the sky, under the sneak attack of Koizumi Akako, the pterosaur monster was directly slashed twice by the scarlet scythe.

After the Demon Blade Princess shattered her opponent with a single strike, the Dragonfly Monster, realizing the situation was dire and trying to escape, was ultimately defeated and killed by the combined efforts of everyone.

……

"What the hell are these things?"

After confirming that there were no other enemies around, Yuu Aragaki, along with his group of shikigami and Akako Koizumi, began to examine the corpses on the ground.

These creatures are not fictional beings; even after they die, they remain as living beings with flesh and blood.

Moreover, it can be seen from some of their actions that these monsters are intelligent beings, not puppets controlled by some entity.

Furthermore, what is the relationship between these monsters and the witch they are tracking?

"Cuckoo~"

Just as Aragaki Yu and Koizumi Akako were wondering what was going on, a silvery laugh suddenly came from behind them.

"!!!"

The two were startled and turned around abruptly. They saw the witch they had been chasing sitting on a traffic light by the roadside, swinging her legs and smiling at them.

Upon seeing this, the shikigami immediately surrounded the streetlight, tightly encircling the witch and cautiously keeping a watchful eye on her, fearing that she might suddenly attack and threaten their onmyoji.

After all, they hadn't even noticed how this strange creature had ended up on the traffic light.

"Oh? I didn't expect you guys to defeat these guys so easily? You're really something!" The witch said with a smile, touching her lower lip with her finger.

It was clear that even though she was surrounded, she showed no signs of nervousness.

"Hmph! Did you send these guys?!" Before Aragaki Yu could answer, Koizumi Akako stepped forward and glared at him, shouting.

"No~"

The witch smiled and shook her head, then jumped off the traffic light, ignoring the shikigami staring intently at her. She also unceremoniously squeezed out of the shikigami's encirclement.

Since Aragaki Yuu had not given any instructions, the shikigami were only cautiously on guard against this guy and did not take action to stop him.

The witch walked lightly to Aragaki Yu and Koizumi Akako, circling them twice with interest. "Not bad, not bad, but I still have to thank you for helping me take care of them!"

"Who exactly are they?" Aragaki Yu stopped Koizumi Akako, who had already started rolling up her sleeves, and looked at the witch who had approached him with a puzzled expression.

It's Dopant!

Without much hesitation, the witch gave an answer that neither Aragaki Yuu nor Koizumi Akako had ever heard of.

Then, she slowly walked over to the group of strange corpses that had been moved together by the war puppets, found several USB-shaped objects, and unceremoniously stuffed them into her pocket.

"What are those?"

Yuu Aragaki frowned as he watched the witch's actions.

"A memory device, a portable memory device formed by the power of information transformed from Earth's memories, which are sealed in a special program!"

The witch made no attempt to hide anything from this.

However, Aragaki Yu and Koizumi Akako were still completely baffled by the witch's explanation and couldn't understand what she was saying at all.

Then, through the witch's further explanation, they roughly understood—

The memory she referred to was distributed by salesmen from a mysterious organization known as the Museum.

Those who purchase and use the memory can transform into monsters called "Dopant," a terrifying demonic memory device.

As for those strange people, they were all individuals who lost control after using the memories stored in this city, and they had been wandering around this city for a very long time.

Because the Gaia Memory contains potent toxins, if the user has strong negative emotions such as anger or hatred, they will react with the toxins, causing the user to lose control.

Looking at the witch in front of him who was smiling because the memory had been retrieved, Yuu Aragaki helplessly wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

Indeed, this world is not as simple as the world of Detective Conan.

It's not just about the existence of witches like Koizumi Akako.

There's even something as unscientific as Dopant.

To be honest, if a Gundam suddenly fell from the sky these days, Yuu Aragaki wouldn't be too surprised.

This world is truly dangerous...

From this perspective, the Black Organization and its existence are...

Hmm, it really is just a minor issue.

Any drug that can reverse aging is nothing compared to what Aragaki Yu is seeing now.

APTX-4868 is a drug that is absolutely scientific.

……

"So, what exactly is this place?" Koizumi Akako asked.

She became increasingly certain that this place was definitely not some kind of domain.

"Rifu is a city that was created but then destroyed."

Whether it was a misperception or not, Aragaki Yu and Koizumi Akako noticed a fleeting shadow of gloom on the other's face when this was mentioned.

Lifengdu?

Upon encountering this city they had never heard of before, Aragaki Yu and Koizumi Akako immediately realized that it probably didn't exist in this world.

Different world?

Or is it a parallel universe?

……

"Then... won't those Dopants run away to the outside world?" Yuu Aragaki asked, raising his biggest concern.

You have to understand that ordinary people are simply no match for these monsters; they would be slaughtered.

In the world of Detective Conan, perhaps only someone like Makoto Kyogoku could possibly encounter these weirdos.

"With me here, they can't get out."

However, the witch showed no concern about this, and her tone was full of confidence.

Although we don't know exactly how strong she is, judging from the witch's elusive methods, she is definitely no ordinary person.
