Detective Conan: The Superpowered Beings of the Detective Conan World

"Can you still walk?"

Hikaru Hoshino patted Ayumi on the back and spoke in a gentle tone.

"My legs feel a little weak."

Ayumi rubbed her eyes and spoke through sobs.

"Alright, come on up, let's go find the others!"

After saying that, Hoshino Hikaru grabbed Hikari by the back of her collar like she was picking up a kitten and casually put her on his shoulder.

Ayumi blinked, feeling her field of vision rise instantly, and for a moment she felt a sense of overlooking the world like never before.

"Whoosh!"

Hikaru Hoshino was fast, but his steps were very steady. Ayumi sat on Hikaru Hoshino's shoulders and felt everything in her vision rushing past, but she didn't feel uncomfortable at all.

Moreover, since Ayumi couldn't leave the area, Hoshino Hikaru only took a few turns and it was as if she had broken the blockade, returning directly to the stairwell.

"That's amazing!"

Ayumi couldn't help but mutter to herself, a sense of security welling up inside her.

Meanwhile, on the fourth floor of the library, there is a section dedicated to food and literature books.

"Hey, Conan, Mitsuhiko, Ayumi, Ai Haibara."

Genta shouted the names of his companions while looking around.

"Whoosh!"

A whooshing sound came from behind Genta, as light as a breeze.

"Who?"

Genta felt his hair stand on end instantly and subconsciously looked back, but there was nothing there except for the books lying quietly on the bookshelf.

"Is it an illusion? Hmm?"

Just when Genta thought it was an illusion, a book suddenly started moving, as if it had been given life.

"Huh? A book? It moves?"

Genta broke out in a cold sweat and involuntarily backed away.

"It smells so good, you look so delicious..."

A nose protruded from the book cover, moved slightly as if sniffing something, and then opened its mouth slightly, emitting a strange sound.

The next moment, the books on the surrounding bookshelves seemed to receive some kind of command, and one by one they stood up, their covers growing mouths that revealed sharp, white teeth.

"It smells so good, little fatty. You must eat a lot, you've gotten so fat. Let us have a taste today."

A red light flashed in the eyes of the leading children's nutrition book, and then it pounced on Genta in a flash.

"ah!!!!"

Yuan Tai immediately began a frantic sprint, wishing he could break his own legs.

The books behind Genta instantly came to life, transforming into a dense swarm of cockroaches that charged toward him with gaping maws.

"Stop running, you can't escape!"

The leading book leaped up and flew onto Genta's head, revealing its sharp teeth.

"Bang!"

In that instant, Genta tripped over his own feet and fell to the ground with a thud, curling up into a ball and hurtling forward at high speed due to inertia.

*Smack!*

The book that was about to fall on Genta's head crashed to the ground, its pages scattered everywhere.

"Hey chubby boy, don't run away!"

The next moment, the falling book seemed to be enraged, uttering a hoarse and eerie sound, and its speed suddenly increased by a level.

"Oh no, oh no, where am I?"

Genta rolled around frantically while shouting, until at one point he crashed into a wall with a bang.

"It hurts!"

Genta rubbed the large bump on his head, then turned around and froze instantly.

At this moment, he was surrounded by a group of books, probably hundreds of them standing upright.

"Little fatty, you must eat a lot. You look a bit clumsy. Your meat must taste delicious."

The leading children's book opened its mouth, revealing its white teeth.

"Ugh, I hate it when people call me stupid!"

Upon hearing this, Genta's face flushed red instantly. He stared intently at the children's book, then took a deep breath, his gaze instantly turning sharp.

"I won't lose when it comes to eating, come on!"

Genta grabbed a book from the side, stuffed it into his mouth, and bit down hard, chewing it several times.

The scene fell silent. The surrounding books paused for a moment, for this was the first time they had encountered humans who were eating cannibalistic books.

"Feels pretty good, let's go!"

Yuan Tai instantly felt his heart beat faster. The book in his mouth turned into a warm stream of water and entered his stomach, making him feel as if he had become stronger. It felt as if super energy was flowing in his mouth and stomach.

After saying that, Genta rushed towards the cluster of books and began to devour them one by one.

When Hoshino Hikaru quickly entered the fourth-floor library and looked towards the children's literature section, he saw Genta eating like a starving ghost.

"Come on, no matter how many come, I can eat them all! Burp! Yuan Tai never gives up! Burp!"

A sound mixed with hiccups rang out, and instantly, looking in the direction of the sound, Yuan Taizheng opened his mouth wide with excitement, shouting repeatedly, grabbing the books with his left and right hands and putting them into his mouth, chewing them vigorously.

"Eating books?"

Hikaru Hoshino paused for a moment, then narrowed his eyes.

[Name: Abyss Cannibal Book]

[Level: LV1]

[Characteristics: Individually weak in combat, but numerous; capable of devouring humans]

"I'll eat! I'll eat!"

Genta Kojima's belly was bulging, making him look like a giant sphere.

Name: Genta Kojima

[Level: LV2 Foodie]

[Foodie: Has a huge appetite in daily life, allowing them to absorb more energy. In battle, they unleash the power of devouring by using super energy in their stomach and mouth. As their level increases, they can devour various items.]

【Characteristics: A voracious eater who loves eel rice; cheerful and slightly impulsive; can grow stronger by consuming weaker abyssal monsters】

"Yesterday he was a Level 1 'Foodie,' and today he's broken through to Level 2? Is it possible to use food to digest abyssal energy and become stronger?"

Hoshino Hikaru's lips twitched slightly. He remembered that Genta was still a LV1 "Glutton" yesterday, but now he had become a LV2 "Glutton". He suddenly realized that he had underestimated the potential of the three little ones.

"Genta, what are you doing?"

Ayumi, sitting on Hoshino Hikaru's shoulders, couldn't help but gasp in surprise, momentarily unable to believe her eyes.

"Huh? Ayumi, and Hoshino-nii-san?"

Only then did Genta notice Hoshino Hikaru and Ayumi's figures, and blinked.

"I thought you'd just stand there crying and waiting for help, but I didn't expect you to actually fight back and kill the abyss monster. Genta, well done."

Hoshino Hikaru gently put Ayumi down, then moved at lightning speed, rushing to the remaining books. With her hands moving at the fastest speed, she tore all the remaining books to shreds and turned them into particles that disappeared in a short time.

"Wow, that's amazing! They managed to devour so many books in one go!"

Yuan Tai stared blankly at the scene, speechless for a moment. He had put in a lot of effort to eat only half of it.

"Of course, Hoshino-nii is really amazing. He saved Ayumi just now."

Ayumi took a small step to Genta's side and spoke with a hint of pride.

"Alright, kids, we should go to the next floor now. Let's follow up."

Hikaru Hoshino turned around and spoke in a serious tone.

"Yes! ×2"

The two little ones immediately stood at attention and answered, closely following behind Hoshino Hikaru as they headed towards the fifth floor.

……

Meanwhile, on the fifth floor of the library, in the astronomy section, a black sphere of light with a radius of over three meters stood between the bookshelves, and inside the sphere, Mitsuhiko's figure could be vaguely seen.

"Ah, Mitsuhiko!"

As soon as Hoshino Hikaru and the other two stepped into this floor, they immediately noticed Mitsuhiko, and Ayumi instinctively exclaimed in surprise.

"This is?"

Hikaru Hoshino immediately looked at the black sphere, his eyes flashing with golden light.

【Name: Abyss Virtual Universe】

[Level: LV2]

【Features: Traps a person inside a virtual universe, requiring them to pilot a spaceship to avoid a meteor shower. Only by completing the level or forcibly destroying the virtual universe can they leave】

"This library really has everything."

Hoshino Hikaru frowned, stepped forward, and prepared to break the black ball directly.

"Snapped!"

The black sphere suddenly trembled and then dissipated, revealing Mitsuhiko, who was panting heavily.

"Phew, phew, that scared me to death! Luckily, I studied the positions of the planets and the temperature of the universe, otherwise this dark game would have been really hard to beat. Hey, Hoshino-nii? What are you doing here?"

Mitsuhiko patted his chest, still shaken, and asked in surprise.

"Of course I'm here to take you home. Well done, Mitsuhiko, you actually broke free of your restraints on your own."

Hikaru Hoshino glanced at Mitsuhiko with some surprise and spoke in a complicated tone.

"Haha, I do want to be a detective after all. I enjoy learning all kinds of knowledge and know some things about cracking the abyss space."

Mitsuhiko scratched the back of his head somewhat embarrassedly, his face slightly flushed, and spoke.

"Alright, let's go. We need to go rescue the remaining two."

As Hoshino Hikaru spoke, he visibly let out a sigh of relief.

The three kids have been rescued, so the remaining two should be much more at ease. After all, Conan and Ai aren't real children, but rather powerful superhumans.
