Conan: I'm Really Not Tokyo Ghost Story

The spider had no idea that Sano had already broken his illusion.

Sano did not make any rash moves, but remained standing still.

It felt as if I was still in an illusion.

Until the spider wielding the black scythe chased Kuroba Kaito into Sano's ten-meter range.

Sano then suddenly raised his hand and shot out a spider web.

It shot directly... right into the spider's large eyeball in the middle, causing the opponent...

Startled, he stopped chasing Kaito Kuroba.

Chapter 430, Page 429: Assembling an Assassin Team

At the same moment, Sano fired a second "point," but before he could release the ball from that point.

Sano quickly grabbed the spider web, forming a link with the spider.

Then pull hard.

Some of the spiders, caught off guard, immediately lost their balance and fell to the ground.

Sano pulled hard again, dragging the spider from the ground towards himself.

The last step was taken.

At this moment, the spider finally tore off the web on its face, but before it could recover from the pain of being kicked in the chest, its three scarlet eyes met the pair of scarlet eyes that Sano was looking down at.

"I already told you, you've become my prey."

Spider's attention, which had been drawn away by Kaito Kuroba, returned, and Sano's surging aura finally took effect, coupled with the unequal situation.

Even this master of illusion, a top assassin, couldn't help but feel a little fear and panic: "How, how is this possible? You were clearly under my illusion, and even Phantom Thief Kid didn't touch you, how could you..."

"You talk too much nonsense."

Sano didn't bother to say anything more and just threw a few punches, cracking the spider mask.

After a brutal beating, the spider lost consciousness.

Kaito Kuroba, standing nearby, hadn't even come to his senses yet... This was supposed to be an elite mini-boss, after all. He thought it would take a long time and a lot of hard work to defeat this guy.

How could it end so quickly, so... hastily?

Also.

Kaito Kuroba glanced at the spider silk that Sano had casually tossed on the ground.

Kaito Kuroba originally thought it would be something like a steel wire zipline.

Upon closer inspection, I was surprised to find something resembling a spider web at both ends.

Is this Black Mask's new equipment?

But why does it just happen to be something related to spiders?

Then consider the commonalities between the two groups—masked faces and "scarlet eyes."

...Could it be that there is some special connection between these two?

So, did this guy appear to catch me, or just happened to run into a spider, or did he know I was in danger and come to rescue me, or something else entirely?

Is it specifically designed to target spiders?

Just as Kuroba Kaito was deep in thought, Sano turned to look at him, and the phantom thief, who had witnessed the entire beating, couldn't help but shudder...

If it's the first scenario, does that mean I'll be treated the same way?

After all, the very first thing Sano said was that he was someone's prey, and that Kuroba Kaito was someone else's prey.

When Kaito Kuroba heard this, he was inexplicably excited and thrilled.

But that was a special case.

The situation is no longer unusual.

Going back to that point, all I felt was embarrassment and tension.

However, Sano was too lazy to say anything more to the wary Kaito Kuroba.

After dealing with the spider, both tasks were marked as completed.

...Somewhat surprisingly, the zoo is a gang or organization.

Spiders are one of them.

But is the only danger this time spiders?

Why not just name it after a spider from the start, instead of calling it a zoo?

It's a waste of energy to outsmart the air.

However, before Sano could leave, the cosplay guy also popped out.

Upon seeing the scene before him, Hakuba Saguru's mind went blank for a moment.

As a high school detective, Hakuba Saguru's home turf is not actually in Japan, but overseas. This time, his return to Japan appears to be for Kaito Kid, but in reality, it's for the killer Spider.

This internationally renowned top assassin is ruthless, powerful, and merciless.

There was countless drops of blood on his hands.

This guy has wandered into Japan.

Hakuba Saguru, upon receiving the message, naturally could not ignore it.

He then returned to Japan. The reason he targeted Kaito Kid was simply because the spider that Hakuba Saguru was targeting had also targeted Kaito Kid.

That's when they decided to wait and see, and then follow the clues to make their move.

Unexpectedly, Hakuba Saguru's original target, Kuroba Kaito, turned out not to be the real Kaito Kid. Even more unexpectedly, after chasing after him, he found the Spider, who had lost consciousness and been captured, among the others present.

Apart from one comatose Phantom Thief Kid and one conscious Phantom Thief Kid.

There is also another mysterious person with strange appearance.

"...Are you...Kid's accomplice?"

After regaining his senses, Hakuba Saguru asked instinctively.

Sano glanced at Hakuba Saguru... To be honest, not to brag.

Even those people in today's Japanese society who don't pay much attention to news reports should have heard of the name of Black Mask.

The spider failed to recognize him because he was a foreign assassin.

But Sano didn't recognize this guy, which made him feel a little strange.

However, Sano has always been good at managing his curiosity.

Or rather... sometimes curiosity really doesn't drive Sano at all.

Sano is gone.

Kaito Kuroba also left, taking Akako Koizumi with him from the ground.

Hakuba Saguru did consider trying to stop him, but... as a detective...

Hakuba Saguru is truly mediocre in terms of action capabilities.

Compared to Sano and Kaito Kuroba, he is definitely far inferior.

Somewhat annoyed, Hakuba Saguru peeled off the spider web stuck to his face and waved away the remaining smoke before turning his gaze to the spider lying on the ground.

Well, at least it wasn't a complete waste of time... no, wait.

Strictly speaking, the spider should be Hakuba Saguru's main target.

When did I unknowingly change my goals?

After letting out another somewhat frustrated sigh, Hakuba Saguru walked towards the spider.

He planned to remove the shattered mask of this world-class assassin to see his true face before handing him over to the Japanese police. But just then, a faint sound of footsteps reached Hakuba Saguru's ears, and he turned his head to look.

A white Western man in a suit and glasses pushes aside the bushes.

It came into view.

Are foreigners accomplices of the spider?

Before Hakuba could think it through, Sano walked towards the spider.

After picking him up, he was about to leave when Hakuba Saguru saw this and couldn't sit still any longer. He hurriedly shouted "Wait a minute!" trying to stop Sano.

"...Do you know who he is?"

Because Sano completely disregarded Hakuba Saguru's presence, the high school detective was momentarily unsure whether he was friend or foe.

So, after preventing what should have been a mistake, Hakuba Saguru tentatively questioned Sano to ascertain his true stance.

If there is any misunderstanding, then let's clear it up and coexist peacefully.

Regardless of whether the other side made a mistake or Hakuba Saguru made a mistake.

Both are acceptable.

But Sano didn't even stop walking, kicking Hakuba Saguru several meters away.

comminicate?

What a load of rubbish.

Go do whatever you want, don't waste Sano's time.

Sano quickly left, carrying the spider.

As for why Sano went back and took the spider away.

Then we have to mention the new mission Sano received after rescuing Kuroba Kaito and the other person.

[Please assemble an assassin team. Team members must be at least top-tier assassins within Japan. Rewards will be distributed based on progress, with a maximum of 1,000 enhancement points. Remaining time for the mission: 9999:59:59.]

...It's similar to the long-term, phased mission of Black Death Vest to dominate the whole country.

What needs attention is the hiring criteria for the assassin group that Sano wants to build.
