Detective Conan: The Superpowered Beings of the Detective Conan World

"Hello, Hoshino-san, I'm Sonoko Suzuki. From what you just said, it seems you already know me?"

Sonoko Suzuki politely extended her hand and shook hands with Hikaru Hoshino, asking in a friendly tone.

"Of course, you and Mori are quite famous, and I've also heard Mori mention her best friend Sonoko, who is a very gentle and lovely girl."

As Hoshino Hikaru responded, he smiled and looked at Mouri Ran.

"I see! Xiaolan, that's what you're saying about me."

Sonoko nudged Ran lightly with her elbow, a slight blush creeping across her cheeks as she looked a little embarrassed.

"By the way, Mori-kun, did you meet the curator when you visited here before?"

After introducing himself, Hoshino Mitsumi changed the subject and looked at Mouri Ran, asking her a question.

"You mean Director Ochiai? He chatted with us for a while, and then it seems he went to that exhibition hall over there. If you're looking for the director, we can go with you. We haven't been to that exhibition hall yet, is that alright, Sonoko?"

Ran pointed in one direction to answer, then looked at Sonoko and asked.

"Let's do it together then."

Sonoko nodded; after all, you can visit an art museum anywhere.

"Are you kidding me!"

Just as the group was walking through the corridor and about to enter the exhibition hall that read "Hell's Hall," a roar filled with rage suddenly rang out from the doorway, instantly attracting everyone's attention.

"That voice... is that Director Ochiai? Who is he arguing with?"

Ran paused for a moment as she pushed the door open, muttered something in surprise, and then looked at Hoshino Hikaru.

"I'm telling you, Director Ochiai, you need to understand one thing: I'm informing you, not discussing it with you. This art museum is going to be demolished. Don't forget, I'm the boss."

Before the three could react, another calm, middle-aged voice rang out, its tone carrying an unyielding domineering air.

"Even if you're the boss, I will never allow anyone to vandalize my art museum. If you try to get in my way, then... die!"

Director Ochiai's voice suddenly turned shrill, accompanied by the sound of a sharp blade piercing flesh, followed by a heart-wrenching scream.

"not good!"

Hoshino Hikaru reacted instantly, kicking open the door and revealing the scene inside.

At this moment, the white-bearded and white-browed Director Ochiai held a long sword in his hand, his eyes had turned blood red. Not far from him, a middle-aged man wearing a beige shirt, his face pale and blood gushing from his chest.

"Hahaha, Manaka, you won't be able to destroy my art museum, never! Hmm? Who's there?"

Director Ochiai's expression turned frenzied, his veins bulging. Then, as if sensing something, he turned to look at the three of them.

"Are you all going to destroy my art museum too? Then let's all die together!"

A sickly flush appeared on Director Ochiai's face, followed by a terrifying burst of power that sent a massive shockwave rippled outwards.

"boom!!!"

Instantly, the entire art museum was shaken. Visitors outside, unaware of what was happening, began to scramble to escape.

"Stop it!"

Xiao Lan was the first to regain her composure. Her entire demeanor changed instantly. She assumed a fighting stance with both hands, then suddenly exerted force with both legs, instantly lunging at the gym owner and punching him in the stomach.

"Cough cough cough!"

Instantly, Director Ochiai's body stiffened, and he couldn't help but cough violently, his originally scarlet eyes regaining their clarity.

"What... what happened to me? Huh? I... I killed Manaka?"

As soon as Director Ochiai recovered, a flood of memories rushed into his mind, leaving him completely stunned.

"Director, you..."

When Ran saw this, she was about to say something when Hoshino Hikaru interrupted her.

"Mouri-kun, get out of the way!"

As Hoshino Hikaru shouted, he passed by Mouri Ran, raised his right hand, and a light bullet instantly flew towards the mural on the wall not far away.

However, it was still a step too late. On the other side, the armor that had been stationary suddenly flew up, and the entire armor exuded a terrifying aura, instantly blocking the light bullet.

"Tch, failed?"

Hikaru Hoshino took a few steps back and stood next to Ran Mouri, watching the armor warily.

【Name: Abyss Armor】

[Level: LV3]

[Special Feature: Can merge with someone who harbors hatred and a deep love for medieval art, leveling up and transforming into an Abyss Armored Man]

Hoshino Hikaru had just used her "Eye of Light" to observe and quickly noticed that a blood-red abyss core was hidden on a mural not far from the armor. She wanted to destroy it directly, but the armor blocked her way.

"Buzz~~"

A dark red beam of light suddenly appeared on the armor and instantly entered the body of the curator. In an instant, the curator's eyes turned blood red once again.

"I will not allow anyone to destroy my art museum! Abyss, grant me power! Armor—Combination!"

A terrifying aura erupted from the red-eyed curator, and a powerful gust of wind swept up all the surrounding tables and chairs.

"Clang! Clang! Clang!"

The knight's armor, as if it came to life, shattered into pieces, transforming into helmets, shoulder armor, breastplates, leg armor, and other parts, which surrounded the old curator, merging with him and ultimately becoming the armored man.

[Name: Armor Curator]

[Level: LV4 Armored Man (Berserk State)]

The fusion of the armored man seemed slow, but in reality it took less than a second, and the core weakness was integrated into the curator inside the armor.

"Whoosh!"

The armored man's speed increased several times compared to the curator, and he swung his longsword at Ran Mouri.

"ha!"

Xiao Lan tensed her arms, instantly clamping the blade between her palms, and exerted all her strength to try to push the sword back.

"Whoosh!"

Hoshino Hikaru crouched down slightly, and after a flash of golden light, a second light bullet appeared on her right hand. Then, under the gaze of the "Eye of Light," it hurtled toward the Armored Curator in an arc.

"call out!"

The armored curator seemed to sense the attack and retreated rapidly, putting distance between himself and Ran Mouri.

"Buzz~~"

The armored curator swung his longsword, drawing a circle in the air. The next moment, a strange change occurred: the eyes of the many monster statues in the room suddenly flashed red, and then they seemed to be given life.

"Ugh!!!"

The roars of demons and the howls of beasts rose from multiple directions, beginning to encircle the center.

"No way, this is already a Level 4 Abyss Monster! How could it suddenly appear here!"

Sonoko's face turned deathly pale, and she trembled slightly for a moment. Although she had experienced many big events, this scene still left her dumbfounded.

"Don't worry, Suzuki-kun, this is nothing to us. Stand behind me."

Hikaru Hoshino stood in front of Sonoko Suzuki, then with a flick of his right hand, a flash of golden light appeared, and the "Sword of Light" instantly sliced ​​through the void, cutting a flying monster in half.
