Conan: I'm Really Not Tokyo Ghost Story

...Although the Black Reaper has taken in all the delinquents in Tokyo, Tokyo is still quite a large city.

Sano's summons was so sudden that a large number of Black Reaper members were unable to respond in time, either due to the long distance or other factors. Therefore, less than half of the members arrived tonight.

Of course, this made no difference to Sano.

Whether it's a few thousand or ten thousand, it's enough, as long as the occasion is big enough.

Having completely broken free from the invisible shackles, Sano... or rather, Kokushi, unleashed unprecedented power and exhilaration in every punch and kick that followed.

The Black Death's original name was Black Death.

But it was only at this moment that Sano seemed to truly transform into the Grim Reaper.

Blood splattered and people flew everywhere it went, like a bulldozer rampaging through the crowd.

Sano didn't even bother to dodge the punches, kicks, and sticks from the yakuza members; he would block if he could, and if he couldn't, he would just take the hits head-on.

He seemed to be saying, "If you don't kill me, I'll kill you."

Nothing can stop Sano from smashing people now.

As for whether causing trouble with the Black Reaper like this would be too much and attract unwanted attention, that remains to be seen.

Who cares?

So what if they've got their eyes on us?

Is it troublesome and uncomfortable to be targeted, but comfortable not to be targeted?

not at all.

Sano wants to tell everyone today.

The Black Death, and the Black Death's Grim Reaper, are not some kind of cowardly bullies.

Instead, it was a group of rioters!

With his trench coat billowing, the word "Invincible" on Sano's back appeared even more crimson against the backdrop of blood.

……

Sano didn't get home until almost dawn.

I must say, it was truly... an incredibly fulfilling day.

First, he took on missions as a rye, and then he became a detective... to solve cases, or at least that could be considered solving cases.

Then he played Gin under the identity of Black Mask, and finally caused trouble under the identity of Black Death.

...They really are rushing from one event to another.

However, the results were good. Not to mention the achievements of the three organizational tasks and one case, they also solved Shiho Miyano's task. Later, they even kidnapped hundreds of people and "sent" them to the police station under the guise of the Black Death, which directly ended the arrest mission.

Suddenly I feel quite accomplished.

Sano rubbed his eyes and turned his gaze to Amuro Tooru in front of him: "I already said that I stopped caring about the Black Reaper a long time ago. What happened last night had nothing to do with me."

"Are you serious?"

Amuro Tooru looked at Sano with a face full of suspicion.

...The conflict caused by the Black Death last night has made the front page of the newspapers.

After all, this is the second major operation since the Black Reaper was founded, and the target is a Japanese T1-level yakuza organization whose size is completely different from the Black Dragon Society.

Not only were hundreds of people sent to prison at once, but there was also an even more crucial issue.

Dozens of people were seriously injured in the conflict, and some are still in the ICU.

Although the Black Reaper is nominally doing good deeds, this level of action is undoubtedly excessive.

Especially as mentioned earlier, the yakuza organization that Sano wiped out last night was on a completely different level from the Black Dragon Society back then. It was much larger, and the connections behind it were naturally wide and deep. Putting aside whether this was in accordance with the rules, those who had their cake and eat it wouldn't easily swallow this insult.

Of course, Sano ultimately took all the blame himself, both in the arrogant messages he left at the scene and in the testimonies of those who were merely pawns.

They all pointed the finger at the "Black Death".

Finally, with the evidence being conclusive and the principle of "the law does not punish the masses," those who acted as tools will not be greatly affected.

The only problem lies with Sano.

That's why Sano was half asleep when Amuro Tooru came knocking on his door.

Although Amuro Tooru outwardly said, "What you're doing is too risky; Gin might be unhappy about it," Sano actually understood that the other party had most likely come because he had broken the law.

Sano, of course, had already prepared a comprehensive countermeasure.

Sano named this move "Void Blame-Shifting"!

Amuro Tooru knows that Sano is a member of the Black Death Party, so why doesn't Sano just stop being a member of the Black Death Party?

As for who the Black Death is now.

How did Sano know that?

If you want to know, just look it up yourselves.

The one causing trouble is Kokushi, what does it have to do with Sano?

Anyway, Sano has said everything that needed to be said and could be said. As for whether others can find out, and what they can find out, well...

That's another issue.

In short, Sano has put into practice his original idea of ​​creating the rye vest to avoid being truly drawn into the vortex when he was promoted to a core member... and he has also upgraded and modified it.

This means "taking off" the vest and then "putting it on" again.

What? This claim is so unbelievable, it's hard to accept.

Sano doesn't care whether you accept it or not.

What can you do if you don't accept it? Go ahead and question it. There's no concrete evidence anyway, so what can you do to Sano?

Sorry, having cheat codes means you can do whatever you want.

...Okay, Sano admits that this plan was indeed a bit too far-fetched.

But so what?

Sano has worked diligently and conscientiously for so many days, and now he's just letting loose a little. What's wrong with that?!

Liu Bei continued playing music and dancing.

"A bunch of useless tools, all they do is cause me trouble. I have to pay them to do anything, so why keep them around?"

Of course, it would be best to avoid suspicion if possible.

...It's like doing homework on the last day of summer vacation when you're in school. Even if you tear pages and scribble all sorts of weird things that would likely be exposed if checked, you'll still manage to get the homework done and hand it in. It's the same principle.

So Sano was still trying his best to calmly lie to Amuro Tooru.

After pondering the matter, Amuro Tooru was unable to find any other loopholes and could only temporarily set aside the topic and ask about another matter.

"I heard you've taken a position with the police?"

Amuro Tooru narrowed his eyes, and considering his position, his voice still revealed a hint of coldness: "Do you know what your actions represent?"

...Oh dear, I forgot about that.

Sano realized that he had two superiors in the organization.

Gin has already explained the situation, but Amuro Tooru hasn't mentioned it at all.

This is so troublesome.

"It's a good thing Gin didn't know about this, otherwise you'd probably have a flower blooming on your forehead by now."

Amuro Tooru snorted coldly, ostensibly criticizing, but in reality revealing his true attitude.

...Although Amuro Tooru was somewhat dissatisfied with Sano's behavior of acting on his own without reporting it to his superior, he was actually quite pleased when he got to the bottom of it.

Amuro Tooru simply couldn't understand Sano's move to take up a government post. He wondered what the purpose behind it was, and if he had to come up with a reason, there was only one that came to mind.

That means this kid has ulterior motives and is plotting to betray the organization!

...No, it should be said that this is abandoning darkness and embracing the light.

Although Sano seems to be only using a name, and he is not directly surrendering to the authorities, applying to be a witness or an undercover agent, it is also possible that he simply feels that the organization's power is too great, so he is unwilling to take any rash actions.

At least it's a way to leave yourself a way out.

Having this intention is more important than anything else.

"So you'd better give me an explanation now."

Looking at Amuro Tooru's pretentious act, Sano inwardly scoffed, and then, just like when he faced Gin, he laid out his "plan" in its entirety.

...This made Amuro Tooru feel somewhat disappointed.

It turns out he didn't have any disloyalty to the organization; he just used the authorities as tools to get away from the hospital.

However, this reason is indeed quite sufficient.

Even if Gin finds out later and wants to investigate, it won't cause any problems.

Chapter 239, Section 238: Gin's Speed ​​of Changing Faces

This saves me the trouble of cleaning up Sano's mess.

However, another problem that Amuro Tooru finds troublesome remains unresolved.

Who exactly is that guy who called himself Black Death and caused trouble with the Black Reaper last night?

Although Sano said he had gotten rid of the Black Reaper's group of tools, he didn't know who the second Black Reaper who inherited his name was.

The leader of an organization that gathers delinquents from all over Tokyo is troublesome in some ways, but not in others; it depends on the individual.

Compared to Sano, the original first Black Death, the second Black Death was clearly no less powerful.

...Judging from their performance last night, they might even be stronger.

Furthermore, the second-generation Kokushi was more dangerous and radical than Sano in terms of ideology and style of action; otherwise, he wouldn't have caused such a big incident as soon as he took office.

Most importantly, Amuro Tooru was unaware of the other party's identity.

When Sano was still Black Death, Amuro Tooru could always step in and correct the situation if anything went wrong with the Black Death.
