Detective Conan: The Superpowered Beings of the Detective Conan World

Once the Whiskey Trio was out of danger, they immediately reported the situation to Pisco.

"What did you say? Kudo Yusaku and Kudo Yukiko are fake? The people inside are from Team Zero?"

Upon hearing the report on the other end of the phone, Pisk jumped to his feet, his expression one of utter shock.

"That's right. Of the fifteen people on the mission, only Bourbon and I escaped from Scotland, and twelve members were captured. Zero Team was too strong, and there were also Psycho Squad troops lying in ambush around us. We had no choice."

Ireland helped him up while calmly reporting the situation.

"Good, it's good that the three of you are alright. Find the nearest organization base to rest, treat your wounds, and be ready to be contacted at any time."

He could hear heavy breathing coming from the other end of the phone. Pisco seemed to have taken several deep breaths before he managed to suppress his anger and speak as calmly as possible.

"Yes, sir."

Ireland nodded slightly, then hung up the phone, his expression complex.

"This is a trap set by Yusaku Kudo, but how did they manage to fool Ireland? Could it be that the Zero team from the Superpower Bureau has already mastered the ability to perfectly control sound, just like Vermouth?"

Piscoe slowly sat down, his brow furrowed, and began to ponder the shortcomings of the operation.

……

The operation by the three Irishmen took only twenty minutes from start to finish. At the same time, in a high-rise apartment in Beika 1-chome, Gin listened to his subordinates' reports through a communicator, a mocking smile playing on his lips.

"That old bastard Pisco is useless. Let's get moving."

After saying that, Gin held a silver Beretta pistol in his left hand and walked step by step toward Yusaku Kudo's location.

Inside the apartment, the real Yusaku Kudo sat alone on the sofa with a calm expression. On the table in front of him was a cell phone that was always on a call.

"Bang!"

After a loud crash, a burly figure dressed in black rushed in, heading straight for the living room.

"Go to hell!"

Vodka kicked open the door between the living room and the hallway, pointing the gun at Yusaku Kudo.

"Whoosh!"

A golden light bullet fell from the ceiling, aiming directly at Vodka's wrist, and a figure dressed in a loose gray robe landed.

"Snapped!"

Gin followed closely behind and kicked Vodka in the shin, causing Vodka to lean forward slightly and barely dodge the light bullet aimed at his wrist.

"We meet again, Gin. This time, the roles have reversed!"

Hikaru Hoshino's face was shrouded in a gray mask as she looked calmly at Gin and spoke in a composed tone.

"Is it you?"

Gin frowned, and a dark red light emanated from the Beretta pistol in his hand as he aimed it at Hoshino Hikari.

"Exchange Skill: Light Shield"

"Light Energy-100"

Total light energy: 150

[Skill: Light Shield]

[A golden, semi-transparent light shield condenses on the left arm, lasting for three minutes. It can withstand all physical and supernatural attacks below level 5, and can withstand three level 5 attacks. The size of the shield can be adjusted, and the shield can be used for physical attacks.]

Hikaru Hoshino stood directly in front of Yusaku Kudo, and a light shield unfolded and instantly appeared, perfectly protecting the two of them behind him.

"boom!"

The dark red light released from Gin's pistol transformed into a shockwave that slammed into the light shield. The powerful shock shattered all the glass in the room instantly, yet the light shield remained as stable as a mountain.

"There's such a method?"

Gin frowned, pointed his pistol at the ceiling, and fired three dark, super-powered bullets in quick succession.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

The three super-powered bullets, after piercing the ceiling, instantly seemed to vaporize into three sharp wind blades, swirling around from three different directions and heading straight for Yusaku Kudo.

"Hiss~~"

A golden light flashed in Hoshino Hikaru's eyes, and "Eye of Light" was immediately activated. Gin's three attacks slowed down considerably in Hoshino Hikaru's eyes. At the same time, with a thought, he controlled the light shield to transform into three smaller shields and disperse.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Three golden shields floated and coalesced in three directions as Hoshino Hikaru raised her arm, instantly colliding with three streams of black light before dissipating into nothingness.

"This guy has this trick up his sleeve. Was he hiding his strength last time, or did he temporarily increase his power?"

Gin felt things were getting a little tricky, so he gave Vodka a look and started firing his gun repeatedly, trying to attack Yusaku Kudo from multiple angles.

After receiving a look from Gin, Vodka immediately took a few steps back. Taking advantage of the time when Gin was suppressing Hoshino Hikari, he rushed towards the window, placed his hands on the wall, and released a strong energy.

"Boom!"

Vodka, pale-faced, knelt on the ground. Under his superpower, a large hole was torn open in the reinforced concrete wall.

"Superpowered 'pilots' can do this? Not only can they pilot themselves in close combat, but they can also manipulate walls and make them crumble?"

When Hoshino Hikaru caught a glimpse of this scene out of the corner of his eye, his pupils dilated in shock.

"OK, I see it!"

At the same time, Chianti's excited voice came through Gin and Vodka's earpieces. Through the hole Vodka had opened, she and Korn could already see Yusaku Kudo's figure.

"Go to hell!"

Chianti watched the two figures under the sniper scope with excitement. At this moment, the two people in her line of sight were one in front of the other, facing Gin's attacks and her sniping. Because of Gin's continuous attacks, she was unable to move the light shield to the rear for defense.

"call out!"

Gunshots rang out, and super-powered sniper bullets pierced the sky.

"what!"

A piercing scream rang out from the communication, instantly changing the expressions of Gin and Vodka, because the scream belonged to Chianti.

"What's going on? Cohen! Be on alert!"

Gin decisively stopped his attack and quickly moved to Vodka's side.

"boom!"

The next moment, a bullet containing super energy streaked through the air and appeared where Gin had just stood. The powerful impact created a large hole in the ground, and Vodka, who was standing next to him, felt as if he was almost blown away by a gust of wind.

"Ugh!"

The next moment, a muffled groan came from the walkie-talkie. Cohen seemed to have been attacked as well, and then he lost his voice.

"At the eight o'clock position, there is the Mihua Commercial Building."

Two seconds later, Cohen’s somewhat weak yet calm voice came through, but with a barely perceptible tremor.

"How is that possible? This distance is over 2000 yards. Besides Shuichi Akai, how could anyone snipe from this distance? Didn't Vermouth confirm that Shuichi Akai is still in New York?"

Gin gritted his teeth, his expression instantly becoming unpredictable. He pulled out a pre-prepared telescope from vodka's pocket, quickly adjusted the lens, and looked at the distant building. A familiar figure wearing a knitted hat appeared.

"Akai, Shuichi!"

Gin gritted his teeth and muttered the name. Shuichi Akai seemed to sense something as well. Another bullet pierced the sky, passing directly through the telescope lens and grazing Gin's cheek.

At the same time, on a shopping street in New York, America, Vermouth, disguised as an ordinary employee, walked back and forth, her gaze always fixed on "Shuichi Akai" not far away.

In this operation targeting Kudo Yusaku, Vermouth's task was to monitor the movements of Akai Shuichi and his subordinates, and report any intentions they might have of going to Tokyo.

At the same time that Gin raided Kudo Yusaku's residence, Shuichi Akai, who was sitting in the corner drinking coffee, suddenly looked up, then turned to look at Vermouth, who was dressed as a waitress, and gave her a meaningful smile, followed by a special gesture.

"Shuichi Akai spotted me? How is that possible? Wait, that gesture... it's not Shuichi Akai, it's Toichi Kuroba!"

Vermouth was startled, a flurry of thoughts flashing through her mind, and a cold sweat broke out on her back.

As the "Thousand-Faced Witch," Vermouth has absolute confidence in her disguise, which even her best friend Yukiko cannot see through. Therefore, in this operation, she cooperates with Gin to monitor Shuichi Akai.

Gin received a message from Vermouth before the operation, confirming that Shuichi Akai was still in America. Therefore, his plan to attack Yusaku Kudo was completely unprepared for enemy sniping, because their position was such that they could simultaneously attack Chianti, Cohen and his sniper point at least 2000 yards away.

Even within the American military, Kevin Yoshino, known as the "otherworldly sniper," couldn't achieve this distance; only Shuichi Akai could.

However, Gin never expected that someone could perfectly impersonate Shuichi Akai in front of Vermouth and help Shuichi Akai smuggle in. As a result, Gin was ambushed by Shuichi Akai.

"Unexpectedly, even Toichi-sensei, who has been missing for many years, has made a move. It seems that Shuichi Akai has already left. In that case, Gin is probably in trouble."

When Vermouth came to her senses, Kuroba Toichi had already disappeared. A playful smile appeared on Vermouth's lips, as if she was looking forward to Gin's expression.

"Gin, you'd better watch out, or you'll get caught."

Vermouth shook her head slightly, then quickly merged into the crowd. Her phone began sending messages to Gin and Boss simultaneously. As for whether Gin would be able to return after receiving the messages, she didn't know.

On the top of a building not far away, a figure dressed in a white robe and wearing a monocle, blending into the environment, quietly watched the direction Vermouth had left.

"My brother, my mission is complete. The rest is up to you."

Kuroba Touichi muttered calmly, then turned and disappeared into thin air.
