Conan: I'm Really Not Tokyo Ghost Story

Suppress the fear of getting hurt.

Suppress the fear of being beaten again.

Suppress the fear of making things worse.

"Only by changing yourself can you change other people's opinions."

Sano manipulated the robed man's emotions while whispering in his ear.

Yes, things need to change.

From a bedbug, he transformed into a mad killing machine.

"Stand up."

“Kill them.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Sano let go of his hand.

It was as if a dog had been released from its leash. The man in the long robe instantly got up from the ground and rushed out like an arrow. His explosive power wasn't particularly terrifying, at least it was not on the same level as his original frail body.

Faced with this sudden attack...

Those guys who had been silent the whole time finally couldn't care less about anything else.

In particular, Sano had already loosened his grip on the situation, and a counterattack immediately ensued.

However, unlike before, it was just a fleeting encounter.

The man in the long robe knocked the two men over.

Then he endured the punches of a third person, pinning him firmly against the wall, and swung his fists one after another, smashing the other person beyond recognition.

...If only we could digitize this guy's data.

So Sano would probably get a string of data like this.

Willpower attribute -50.

Flexible attribute – 50.

Burst attribute +50.

Constitution attribute +50.

Momentum attribute +50.

The person entered a state similar to berserk mode in a game.

No pain, no fear, no fatigue.

Stamina seems to be unlimited, and health seems to be fully replenished.

Even when surrounded and attacked by those few people with their numerical advantage, or when their limbs were forcibly restrained, the man in the robe would never stop attacking.

If you can't use your fists, use your feet to kick; if you can't use your feet, then use your teeth to bite.

One of them even had his trachea bitten off by this guy.

He looks like a zombie.

Sano leaned against the wall with great interest, watching the fight unfold.

It escalated into a life-or-death struggle.

By the time they arrived, the test subjects were already terrified.

But at this point, it was obviously impossible to escape.

Sano watched as the robed man forcefully dragged back all the fleeing individuals and killed them one by one, and secretly nodded in approval... Under the buff of berserk state, the believers' combat power would be significantly enhanced.

Not too outrageous, but not bad either.

If I exercise more, I can at least develop a relatively strong body.

Even if the standards for believers are higher or more complicated later on, resulting in a smaller number of believers in the resulting team, it is still possible to take the high-end route.

Of course, it depends on the specific circumstances.

Chapter 554-557, Everything is ready except for Sano?

Also.

At this moment, Sano also had a method in mind that could significantly improve the combat effectiveness of a large number of people in a short period of time.

This road was originally a bit narrow, but now...

Perhaps it's worth a try.

Watching the robed man, who had stopped consciously controlling his emotions after being "untied" and had been relying entirely on his own actions, gradually recover, he began to feel fear and tension about what he had done and the scene before him.

Sano still spoke up appropriately, offering a word of "comfort".

"Well done."

Upon hearing Sano's praise, the man in the long robe immediately put aside his emotions and happily accepted the "reward" from his "god." At the same time, the bit of rationality he regained also told him that his actions just now were definitely not something he could have done on his own.

...Is this a miracle?

Did I receive divine blessing?

“You have proven yourself and are qualified to follow me.”

Sano continued speaking.

Before the man in the long robe could even express his gratitude, Sano asked another question.

"Can I trust your faith in me?"

"of course can!"

The man in the long robe replied without hesitation, "I am absolutely loyal to God, even if it costs me my life!"

"very good."

Sano's smile widened slightly.

"Now, gouge out your eyes."

"……what?"

The man in the long robe froze, instantly dumbfounded.

"What, do I need to repeat myself?"

Sano didn't try to control the man in the robe's thoughts; he simply observed.

We need to observe this guy's loyalty to see what the upper limit is.

Then there was only a few seconds of hesitation.

The man in the long robe suddenly hardened his eyes, hooked his finger, and stretched it towards his own eyes.

……

"Dudu-"

In the middle of the night, Sano was on his way to go boating when he received a call from [unclear - possibly a person's name].

"Boss, something happened at the store, I thought I should call you first..."

After a few words of gibberish, Sano roughly understood the situation.

...Actually, it's just that the plague god upstairs has spread to Sano's coffee shop again.

Basically, two of Kogoro Mouri's old classmates, I don't know if they were engaged or what, went to Sano's coffee shop and had a get-together.

As a result, people died.

The one who died was one of the two "protagonists".

The bride-to-be was burned to death in her car in the parking lot.

Police have arrived at the scene, but it is still unclear whether it was homicide or suicide.

...That's really bad luck.

Sano pursed his lips, and then immediately received another mission: to find out the truth.

Hmm, it's just a bit of a fuss, but it doesn't seem like a big deal.

Sano quickly asked Gin for leave, and without caring whether it was approved or not, he hailed a taxi and drove straight to the entrance of his own coffee shop.

Upon entering the house, Inspector Megure immediately greeted Sano.

“Brother Sano.”

Inspector Megure approached Sano because he knew who the owner of the shop was.

So from the very beginning, Inspector Megure knew that Sano would definitely be there.

Inspector Megure had already sorted out the entire situation.

Everything is ready except for Sano.

"The bride-to-be left halfway through, saying she was going to get her nails done. The groom-to-be had just received a text from her showing off her new manicure when he received a farewell phone call. Before the call even ended, the wedding car that was supposed to be there suddenly caught fire. By the time the fire was extinguished, the bride-to-be was already..."

From Inspector Megure, Sano obtained a more detailed account of what happened.

"Where are the suspects and clues?"

"Currently, the most suspicious person is the groom-to-be, followed by..."

Inspector Megure turned his gaze to the two people.

"It's those two detectives."

Sano glanced over and saw one was an unknown middle-aged man wearing sunglasses, and the other was Amuro Tooru wearing his own coffee shop uniform.

"The two of them, one hired by the groom-to-be and the other by the bride-to-be, were there to find out if the other was having an affair."

"...Are you two so in sync?"

Sano hit a row of dots; this loving couple is quite a classic.

"It's more than just having a tacit understanding."
