Detective Conan: The Superpowered Beings of the Detective Conan World

"Detective Hoshino, you don't know, a week ago, when I was on patrol, I suddenly heard footsteps. Then, that armored man appeared in front of me. I was so scared that I turned around and ran away, calling the Superpower Bureau as I ran."

Even now, when he recalls that scene, Kubota still trembles all over.

"So, Mr. Kubota, what are the findings of the Superpower Bureau's investigation?"

Hoshino Hikaru continued to ask questions, while taking out his notebook and starting to record information.

"Those incompetent bunch at the Bureau of Superpowers didn't find anything. They said there was no reaction to any abyssal energy, no trace of any armor movement, and one of the officers even advised me to see a doctor. I'm not sick!"

As Kubota spoke, he excitedly slapped the table, looking rather unwell.

"Don't get agitated, Mr. Kubota, I believe you."

Hoshino Hikaru quickly got up, patted Kubota's shoulder gently, and spoke reassuringly.

"Phew, sorry, Detective Hoshino, I lost my composure."

Kubota took a deep breath, slowly sat back down, gripping the hem of his clothes tightly with both hands, and continued to speak in a trembling voice:

"At first, I even doubted whether it was my hallucination, but that night, my nightmare began. In the dream, the armored man came to chase me. I kept running, and he kept chasing me until he left me with the words, 'Ten days left.'"

Kubota's lips trembled slightly, as if he was losing control of himself.

"You mean, from that day onwards, that number has been decreasing every day?"

Hikaru Hoshino immediately raised a question, mentally calculating the time involved.

"That's right. Last night, he told me that there were three days left. I could feel that my death was coming in three days. I also told the Superpower Bureau about this. However, the Superpower Bureau gave me a full body check-up and also tested my home and the art museum, but they didn't find any abyssal energy."

"Finally, the Superpower Bureau told me I should see a psychologist. I knew they were unreliable. I contacted three detectives on the detective platform, but none of them could help me solve the problem. So I wanted to find the legendary Shinichi Kudo, but I can't get in touch with him. So, Detective Hoshino, could I ask you to contact Detective Kudo?"

Kubota's eyes were filled with desperate tears as she looked at Hoshino Hikaru with pleading.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Kubota, Detective Kudo is out of town on business. But please rest assured, I will do my best to help you. If necessary, I will contact Shinichi Kudo by phone and ask for his help. Next, I need to know more details from you."

As Hoshino Hikaru spoke, he began asking targeted questions, including details of the dream, the direction of the Superpower Bureau's investigation, and various information about the museum owner, director, and staff. Kubota was very cooperative when Hoshino Hikaru said he would contact Shinichi Kudo by phone.

An hour later, Hoshino Hikaru comforted Kubota, advising him to find a place to rest first, and said that he would conduct his investigation at the art museum. He then sent Kubota away.

"What do you think, assistant?"

Hoshino Hikaru quickly organized the documents and asked without looking up.

"Judging from Mr. Kubota's physical condition and the logic of his recounted experiences, it doesn't seem like a simple psychological problem; it's more likely a hidden abyssal energy."

On the other side of the super watch, Conan, who had listened to the entire process via the phone function, did not refute the title of Hoshino Hikaru's assistant. In any case, he was indeed Hoshino Hikaru's assistant now, and he would have to get used to it eventually.

"Of course it's not a psychological problem, but a real case from the Abyss. I can sense traces of Abyss energy on him."

Hikaru Hoshino nodded slightly. This was already a confirmed conclusion, since he had seen it directly with his "Eye of Light".

"Hmm? You can sense it?"

On the other side, Conan looked up with some surprise, a strange light appearing beneath his glasses.

"That's right, my superpower gives my eyes a special kind of perception."

Hikaru Hoshino briefly revealed the abilities of the "Eye of Light," but did not mention that it could directly view the detailed information panel, since this was beyond the comprehension of the supernatural science system.

"This is very likely 'Hidden Abyss Energy.' You actually have this kind of perception? No wonder you're a Primal Stone user!"

Conan's eyes widened slightly, then he took a deep breath to calm himself down.

Based on current supernatural scientific analysis, abyssal energy is divided into three types: ordinary, concealed, and spatial. Ordinary abyssal energy is easily detected and is the most common. Concealed abyssal energy, with current technology, requires the most advanced supercomputer to detect, or can only be sensed by a few individuals with special superpowers. As for spatial abyssal energy, it is the most dangerous type, capable of trapping people in another dimension.

Currently, most of the Abyss murder cases worldwide involve Abyss energy in its normal state, which is also a major problem that the Superpower Bureau has been dealing with.

What Kubota encountered was clearly a hidden form of abyssal energy, which only gave him a few nightmares. This was not enough for the Superpower Bureau to apply for access to the highest-level supercomputer. After all, there are many incidents suspected of involving hidden abyssal energy, but most of them are actually pranks or psychological problems, and the Superpower Bureau cannot possibly investigate them one by one.

"It seems that this abyssal energy must be concealed, making it impossible for the Superpower Bureau to detect it."

Conan's expression turned serious, and he spoke in a somewhat heavy tone.

"Since Mr. Kubota has the abyssal energy reaction on his body, and he seems to be being targeted, then the source of this energy should be someone who wants to kill him. This killing intent and negative energy has attracted abyssal energy."

Conan thought quickly and soon came to a conclusion.

"So what we need to do is find the person who wants to kill him, so that the abyssal energy can be thrown into chaos and materialized."

Hikaru Hoshino continued to add, his expression remaining unchanged.

"This is probably quite difficult!"

Conan frowned. Finding the murderer in a murder case is completely different from finding the murderer who wants to kill but hasn't acted yet. After all, the latter doesn't give him three people to choose from.

"Then let's start with the people in this art museum."

After finishing speaking, Hoshino Hikaru put away his notebook and started walking towards the front hall.

Soon, Hikaru Hoshino appeared in the exhibition hall and observed Kubota's colleagues.

"Hmm? That voice... is that... Mouri-kun?"

Hoshino Mitsumasa was about to have a chat with the curator when he suddenly heard a familiar voice and turned to look at two beautiful figures walking out from around the corner.

One of them was Ran Mouri, and the short-haired girl next to her was looking at her with a questioning gaze; she was Sonoko Suzuki.

"Hoshino-kun, what are you doing here?"

Ran looked at Hoshino Hikaru with some surprise, her expression showing a hint of astonishment.

"I heard there are some armored figures at the art museum, so I came to see them. Are you and Suzuki here to visit too?"

Hikaru Hoshino immediately flashed his signature smile, while giving Ran a knowing look.

Xiaolan immediately realized that there must be some request, but it was inconvenient to say it in the lobby, so she nodded:

"I see. I didn't expect Hoshino-san to be interested in this too."

As Xiaolan spoke, she looked at the garden and began to introduce it:

"Sonoko, this is Hoshino from Class C next door. She's currently interning at Professor Agasa's detective agency."

"Hello, Suzuki-san, I'm Hikaru Hoshino."

Hikaru Hoshino nodded to Sonoko Suzuki, and at the same time used his "Eye of Light" slightly.
