Conan: I'm Really Not Tokyo Ghost Story

Before Amuro Tooru could speak, they could vaguely hear a sound coming from the alley next door.

Turning my head, I saw three figures.

One of the more conspicuous figures is a tall foreign man with blond hair and green eyes, wearing a suit and gold-rimmed glasses, facing Amuro Tooru directly.

He looks very polite and refined.

They didn't resemble people from the underworld at all.

What is this guy trying to do by coming to the territory of this arms dealer? And judging from what he said, he seems to want to see the arms dealer himself.

Amuro Tooru was puzzled and couldn't understand this person's thoughts.

Even a hothead isn't this hot-headed.

Let alone an unknown passerby, even members of Amuro Tooru's organization might not receive much respect from him.

If I don't pay up later, I'm afraid I'll lose my life at the hands of these two watchdogs.

Amuro sighed inwardly.

To be fair, as an undercover agent walking a tightrope high in the sky, Amuro Tooru has always been good at controlling his hands and not meddling in other people's business, but that is only when there is a risk involved.

Under normal circumstances, it stems from a deep-seated sense of justice.

Amuro Tooru would naturally lend a hand if he could, after all, it was a human life at stake.

Before Amuro Tooru could do anything, the foreigner in the alley slightly raised his eyes and glanced at him with a cold look.

It seemed as if it was indifferent to everything in front of it.

After a moment of surprise, Amuro Tooru quickly put away his previous mindset.

He doesn't seem like an ordinary hothead?

...How did this guy end up here too?

Sano didn't expect to run into Amuro Tooru here. Is he here on a logistics mission?

Never mind, it's a trivial matter.

That's right. One of the missions Sano took on was to take down this weapons dealer, who was a regular supplier for the organization, because he knew the location very well.

So Sano came here first.

The outcome seems to be more complicated than Sano had imagined.

Honestly, they clearly said they had a big business deal to discuss, so why couldn't they just obediently call out the leader and then offer their services?

He sighed, feeling rather frustrated.

Sano turned his gaze away from Amuro Tooru and instead focused on the short swords that the two watchdogs, who had been chattering incessantly but received no response and were probably feeling looked down upon, had pulled out in a fit of rage.

Let's just charge in then.

Before the two could put on airs, Sano took a step back, lifted his foot, and twisted his waist.

"Boom!!"

The long leg, lashed out like a steel whip, swept away the two guard dogs. With a loud thud, many cracks appeared in the wall next to the alley.

As the stone chips fell, the two annoying insects rolled their eyes back, slid down the wall like two puddles of mud, and fell to the ground, completely losing consciousness.

Amuro Tooru's eye twitched outside the alley, and he felt a phantom headache.

What kind of terrifying explosive power is that?

With that kind of force and speed, Amuro Tooru had no doubt that even he himself would not have been able to dodge that kick, and would most likely have ended up lying on the ground after taking it.

As for the two guys who were actually lying on the ground...

If he hadn't been taken to the hospital in time, he might not have survived.

Even if I go to the hospital, will I be able to wake up?

Whether or not one will be bedridden for the rest of their life after waking up is another question.

After retracting his leg, Sano dusted off the non-existent dust from his trouser leg, smoothed out the wrinkles, adjusted his glasses, and then walked out of the alley.

This made Amuro Tooru subconsciously alert, and he reached for his pistol.

However, Sano was naturally not interested in Amuro Tooru. After walking out of the alley, he stopped and turned to look at the other two guard dogs at the back door of the bar.

After turning around, I saw... a beverage vending machine.

Under Amuro Tooru's questioning gaze, Sano grabbed the corner of the vending machine with one hand.

With a bit of force.

The entire vending machine rose from the ground.

Holy crap!

The exclamations of several peripheral members next to Amuro Tooru also drew the attention of the two guard dogs at the back door... But before the two could even turn their gazes, the vending machine had already been thrown out by Sano.

The vending machine, weighing several hundred kilograms, was as light as a baseball in Sano's hands.

It hit the two bewildered people precisely, sending them flying several meters away.

He was pinned down by the vending machine and didn't move at all.

After calmly clapping his hands, Sano moved to the back door of the bar and went straight in.

Amuro Tooru and the others were left stunned.

"...Sir, shall we go in?"

One of the peripheral members came to his senses and asked Amuro Tooru a question.

Amuro Tooru's lips twitched, and he replied, "Let's wait and see how things go."

Then, some faint noises could be heard coming from inside the bar.

But it quickly fell silent again.

A moment later, the figure in the suit walked out of the back door of the bar again.

With a furrowed brow, he wiped the bloodstains on his body with a piece of paper... Given that there were no wounds on his body, it was most likely someone else's blood.

what's the situation?

Has the man's target, the arms dealer, already been taken care of?

A hint of seriousness appeared in Amuro Tooru's eyes.

Even if the arms dealer himself isn't actually here today, judging from this appearance...

A conflict definitely broke out, and it was certainly not small.

But Amuro Tooru didn't hear any gunshots.

Keep in mind that this is the headquarters of Japan's largest arms dealers, and there are definitely quite a few guys inside who possess heavy firepower capable of mass destruction.

If a real conflict had broken out, how could there not have been any gunshots?

Unless... those people were dealt with before they even had a chance to grab a gun.

is it possible?

Is this reasonable?

Just as Amuro Tooru was having doubts, Sano had already thrown away the tissue and subconsciously glanced in the other person's direction... just as the other person had thought.

Sano did indeed take care of the other party before the group in the bar could use their guns.

The thug suit and the Kamen Rider keychain offer completely different attribute bonuses.

Its flexibility dictates that it will follow a strategy of striking after the opponent has made a move.

Because the margin for error is high enough.

However, while they have an advantage in burst damage, they have a very low margin for error, so they can only strike first.

As long as you are one step ahead of the enemy in having the idea to take action... to be precise.

It's about being able to act faster than the enemy.

Then Sano will definitely be able to get the result before the enemy makes a move.

The terrifying burst of power allows Sano to cross a distance of ten or twenty meters in the blink of an eye.

Sano is faster within seven steps, and he is still faster beyond seven steps.

In general, their modus operandi is quite similar to that of the Black Death Vest.

However, comparatively speaking, the upper limit for thug suits is higher.

This is true in terms of movement speed, attack power, and even attack speed.

...Even so, Sano still felt something.

This alone doesn't provide any sense of security.

After all, a high upper limit basically means a low lower limit.

With the aid of the special attack suit, even if Sano gets shot, he won't be seriously injured, and his movements might not even be greatly hindered.

But the addition of a thug's suit changes everything.

To put it bluntly, it's because the margin for error is low.

No wonder Sano felt uncomfortable.

Of course, it doesn't really matter. After all, this persona is set up as an assassin, not a warrior. As long as we try to avoid direct "fair" confrontations, it's fine.

Let's hurry up and catch the next one.

...However, just as Sano was about to leave after glancing at him, he suddenly stopped in his tracks.

I cast my gaze again.

However, I wasn't looking at Amuro Tooru, but at an outsider.

After staring at the person for a few seconds, Sano took out his phone and checked the information several times.

After confirming that he hadn't mistaken the person for someone else, Sano walked over.

Upon seeing this, Amuro Tooru became alert again in a few moments and simultaneously reached for his gun.
