Detective Conan: The Superpowered Beings of the Detective Conan World

Chapter 58 Gomera Movie Murder: The Hanging Shadow Under the Screen

"Hey kid, can't you watch where you're going?"

Just as Hoshino Hikaru and Haibara Ai were discussing, a somewhat irritable voice suddenly rang out.

"Hey, what are you saying? You were the one who bumped into Ayumi!"

Genta's somewhat angry voice rang out, accompanied by Mitsuhiko's argumentative tone.

Hikaru Hoshino turned around instantly and saw Ayumi sitting on the ground. Mitsuhiko was anxiously helping Ayumi up, while Genta was raising his fist and looking angrily at the middle-aged man who had suddenly appeared and bumped into Ayumi.

This was a middle-aged man in his forties or fifties with a cigarette dangling from his mouth. His slightly ferocious expression made him look like a street thug, and he exuded an aura that kept strangers at bay.

[Name: Harita Masaji]

[Level: LV1 Thug]

[The petty thug possesses a special super-powered circuit within his body, allowing him to improve his physical abilities far beyond those of ordinary people through exercise.]

【Characteristics: Manic personality, bullies the weak and fears the strong】

"Kid, what did you say... huh?"

"Snapped!"

Just as the middle-aged man lowered his head, preparing to continue his angry rant, he suddenly felt a terrifying force gripping his wrist.

"Who are you? Let me go!"

The middle-aged man was startled. He looked at the black-haired youth in front of him and tried to pull his wrist back, but failed.

"Apologize to this girl!"

Hoshino Hikaru stared coldly at the middle-aged man in front of her, her tone extremely flat.

"Huh? You were with these kids? Make me apologize, I'll tell you, I..."

Swish!

Before the middle-aged man could finish speaking, Hoshino Hikaru spread his right index and middle fingers and swiftly swung them out, pressing them close to the middle-aged man's eyes, less than a millimeter away, as if he would pierce them at any moment.

"If you can't understand what I'm saying, I also know a little bit about martial arts."

Hoshino Hikaru increased the pressure in his left hand considerably, and the middle-aged man immediately felt a force on his wrist, causing him to break out in a cold sweat.

"I'm so sorry... little sister, I'm so sorry, I bumped into you, I'm so sorry!"

The middle-aged man's expression immediately changed, and he spoke cautiously. As someone who had spent many years in the underworld, he instinctively felt that the person in front of him was not someone to be trifled with.

"Ayumi, are you alright?"

Hikaru Hoshino looked at Ayumi, who had stood up again, and spoke softly.

"It's alright, Brother Xiaoguang."

Ayumi patted her clothes, shook her head slightly, and spoke.

Hoshino Hikaru snorted, said nothing more, and released his grip.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry!"

The middle-aged man quickly bowed his head and then ran out as if fleeing.

"Honestly, he was the one who bumped into Ayumi, why did he act like that?"

Genta stood with his hands on his hips, speaking with some dissatisfaction.

"Brother Xiaoguang, thank you so much! You're so handsome!"

Ayumi looked at Hoshino Hikaru and spoke with a hint of admiration.

"If this kind of person were in the 'Legend of the Demon Ship Murder Case,' he would probably be the first to die."

Ai Haibara stepped forward, patted Ayumi on the back, and spoke in a cold tone.

"It's good that you're alright. Remember, detectives need more than just deduction skills; they also need physical support. This is another piece of knowledge I'm teaching you today: 'classical mechanics.' As detectives, you not only need to understand 'criminal investigation' and 'reasoning,' but you also need to learn how to fully utilize 'classical mechanics' when you encounter unreasonable people. You'll have a lot more to learn in the future!"

Hikaru Hoshino patted Ayumi's head and gave her a serious lecture.

"Yes, Ayumi needs to become stronger, and one day she'll become a powerful detective like Hikaru who can use 'classical mechanics'!"

Ayumi waved her little fist, a hint of determination on her face.

Is this how "classical mechanics" is used?

Conan looked at Ayumi, whose eyes were shining, and was speechless for a moment.

……

Science fiction and tokusatsu movies usually depict the evil consequences caused by humanity itself, with some mad scientists researching taboos and ultimately triggering huge disasters.

In the world of Gomera, some human scientists, disregarding warnings, researched extraterrestrial life and ultimately created monsters capable of destroying the world. However, they were powerless to deal with them and could only rely on the legendary guardian beast, Gomera.

"Go, Gomera! You can't lose!"

"Gomera, Gomera!"

The three little ones quickly got into action, gesturing and dancing excitedly.

"The three of them are really excited, but isn't it inappropriate to shout in a movie theater?"

Conan gave a deadpan look, watching the three little ones raise their hands and shout, and sighed helplessly.

"Since there are no other guests today, let them be."

Hoshino Hikaru looked at the empty movie theater and shook his head slightly.

"The air conditioning feels a bit cold."

Ayumi tightened her clothes slightly and looked back with some confusion.

"Yes, it's getting a bit cold, and I feel like I need to go to the bathroom, but the plot is at a crucial moment right now."

Mitsuhiko also spoke in a trembling voice, his body shaking slightly.

"Really? I feel fine!"

Genta grabbed a handful of popcorn, patted his fat belly, and spoke while Ayumi and Mitsuhiko rolled their eyes at him.

Compared to the three little ones, the other three people across the aisle weren't discussing the plot.

"Although it's a film from decades ago, the plot and special effects are surprisingly good!"

Hoshino Hikaru leaned back in his chair, watching the screen with great interest.

In her previous life, Hikaru Hoshino was a fan of tokusatsu works. After coming to this world, she learned about many of them. However, there are not many tokusatsu works in this world, mainly focusing on Gomera, Kamen Rider and a few other series.

"Wow! The special effects are indeed good, but the plot is just average, with too many illogical parts."

Conan yawned, revealing a bored expression.

"You, besides mystery and soccer, do you have no other hobbies? You're actually looking for plausibility in tokusatsu shows!"

Hikaru Hoshino couldn't help but tap Conan on the head, speaking in a stiff tone.

"I think the plot is pretty good. Foolish humans, obsessed with unknown science, ultimately caused a catastrophe that destroyed the world, but they were powerless to stop it and could only pray for the legendary hero to appear."

A meaningful glint flashed in Ai Haibara's eyes, then she lowered her voice:

"Just like some humans today who are obsessed with studying the abyss, perhaps one day in the future, humanity will perish because of it. In reality, there will be no Gomera to save humanity."

Hikaru Hoshino and Conan exchanged a glance, unsure of how to respond.

"Human beings do indeed possess many inherent flaws that cannot be changed, and the darkness within the human heart can never be eradicated. However, the human heart also has a bright side!"

Looking into Ai Haibara's eyes, Hikaru Hoshino suddenly remembered a line from his previous life in the Ultraman world and blurted it out involuntarily.

"Oh? You're right, no wonder you're the Warrior of Light!"

Ai Haibara paused for a moment, clearly not expecting Hikaru Hoshino to give such an answer, but then smiled.

Just as the group was chatting, a blurry, swaying black shadow suddenly appeared on the screen, instantly attracting everyone's attention, as if something was blocking the projector.

"What happened?"

Conan was the first to snap out of his daze. Looking at the outline of the dark figure on the screen, his expression changed slightly, and he immediately turned around to look behind him.

The projectionist seemed to have noticed the problem and immediately turned off the movie and turned on the lights inside the theater. Instantly, a corpse hanging in front of the projector appeared.

"It's him!"

Hoshino Hikaru narrowed his eyes and immediately recognized that the person who had been hanged was the middle-aged man who had bumped into Ayumi not long ago.
