Conan: I'm Really Not Tokyo Ghost Story

Not only the group of people who were drugged, but also the anesthetic smoke in the corridor and drifting into the exhibition hall through the cracks in the door had not dissipated, which meant that Sano could not take off his mask... And this broken gas mask was really uncomfortable to wear, not only obstructing his vision and making him feel unsafe, but also making him feel incredibly stuffy.

Conan followed closely behind and arrived at the courtyard outside the Suzuki Museum.

Outside the courtyard, there were shouts from either people watching a play or fans of Kaito Kuroba.

It's very noisy.

"Oh, I see it."

Conan followed Sano and looked up. Apart from Kaito Kuroba and Makoto Kyogoku, everyone else was there.

The black dragon had already climbed up, but beyond that...

"...Kurosawa??"

Conan gasped in astonishment.

That's right, there weren't three people on the roof, but four.

That fourth person was Sano's backup plan...

Conan turned to look at Sano, his eyes filled with suspicion and uncertainty.

on the roof.

Three... to be precise, four people from both sides are currently in a standoff.

Black Dragon and Makoto Kyogoku, Kaito Kuroba and Kurosawa... to be precise, Black Mask, each occupied one side of the roof, staring at each other from a distance of about ten meters.

"...Black Mask, as a superhero, why are you helping that thief?"

With a furrowed brow, Makoto Kyogoku asked the question.

Kaito Kuroba, standing next to him, also had a furrowed brow.

Just a second before Makoto Kyogoku took to the air and landed on the roof, Kaito Kuroba had been frantically dodging the opponent's attacks, barely managing to avoid being knocked down by a single punch thanks to his agile skills.

They could follow the black dragon onto the roof.

Without the advantage of being on the ground, Kaito Kuroba was immediately in dire straits.

Just when Kaito Kuroba was facing a pincer attack, and could only dodge one of the attacks while having to take the attack from the other.

The Black Mask has appeared.

He immediately kicked Kaito Kuroba to free himself.

This was undoubtedly an unexpected development... Under normal circumstances, Kaito Kuroba wouldn't ask this guy to team up with the other two monsters. It would be good enough if the three of them bullied him, so how could he expect them to help him fight against the other two?

What are you thinking?

Kaito Kuroba asked in a low voice.

"I'm sorry, this guy is my underling, so I can't let you take him away."

Sano, not wanting to waste words, tried to negotiate first.

"what!?"

Before Kyogoku Makoto's side could respond, Kuroba Kaito was already dissatisfied, questioning, "When the hell did I become your underling again!?"

"Or are you going to take on all three of us at once?"

The eyes beneath the mask turned to Kaito Kuroba. Even though the mask made it impossible to look directly into his eyes, the disdain was still palpable.

Kaito Kuroba: "..."

"Big brother, those two were the ones who bullied me just now!"

After briefly weighing the pros and cons, Kaito Kuroba decided to back down.

He sacrificed his dignity and reputation, only to gain a chance to escape... No matter how he thought about it, he felt it was a bit of a loss.

They decided to use someone else's name to intimidate them again.

Lost face can be regained elsewhere!

However, Sano also pointed out: "...What kind of misunderstanding makes you think that adding me would be enough to defeat those two monsters? Are you overestimating yourself or me?"

Kaito Kuroba: "...Huh?"

"Can't we win?"

Sano sighed and rubbed his forehead: "You really know how to court death..."

"Hey, hey, hey, you're the Black Mask, right? I've heard so much about you, especially from Kyogoku. He speaks very highly of you. I was just thinking of challenging you to a duel, and I never expected to run into you here. I'm really lucky! Come on, let's have some fun!"

...Although Black Dragon spent most of his time in the hospital after arriving in Japan, perhaps it was precisely because of this that he had more time to learn about gossip, so it's not surprising that he knew about Black Mask.

Not to mention that there was also Makoto Kyogoku as an intelligence source.

Given Black Dragon's belligerent nature, it's not surprising that he would issue such a provocation...

"Shh!"

Without uttering another word, Black Dragon completely disregarded Kyogoku Makoto's thoughts.

He rushed towards Sano.

Left with no other choice, Makoto Kyogoku had to follow suit.

"Don't just stand there!"

Sano raised his hand and hurled two spider webs at the eyes of the two men.

As the two men easily dodged, the other hand shot out, forcefully pulling the spider silk stuck to the roof tiles, sending a large number of tiles flying out.

Kaito Kuroba didn't just stand by and watch; he had a playing card gun in one hand and a tranquilizer gun in the other.

He fired wildly at the two men.

"I said, if we can't win, let's just retreat."

Kaito Kuroba was planning to completely back down, but...

"Is the question now whether or not to withdraw?"

Sano then used a spider silk thread to stick to Kuroba Kaito, pulling him back and causing Kyogoku Makoto's fist to miss. At the same time, Sano performed a backflip to dodge the black dragon's attack: "How should we retreat?"

"What's wrong? Aren't you Superman? Why are you just hiding?!"

The black dragon's attacks came one after another, forcing Sano to retreat continuously.

On the other side, Kaito Kuroba and Makoto Kyogoku were in a similar situation.

"Tsk."

Sano forcibly stopped his retreat, and with a sliding tackle, he narrowly passed under the Black Dragon's fist, changed direction, and charged towards the other two.

"Don't run away!?"

Black Dragon followed closely behind, staring intently at Sano.

After closing the distance to the point where he, Kaito Kuroba, and Makoto Kyogoku were on the same battlefield, Sano performed another backflip and pressed down with his palm in mid-air.

Kaito Kuroba's head was held down, causing him to drop low, which also caused Makoto Kyogoku's attack to miss again, and even... the Black Dragon's attack missed as well.

They collided.

"You can't win by going it alone; you have to work together."

Sano swiftly shot out spider webs and silk, which restricted Kyogoku Makoto and his companion, or perhaps the environment, while Kuroba Kaito launched his attack.

While playing cards might only tickle you, tranquilizer darts are quite effective.

Kyogoku Makoto and his companion dared not confront them directly.

Even when forced into close combat by the two, Sano and Kaito Kuroba were not entirely without a chance to fight back. With their superior agility, even though their teamwork was not as good as their opponents', their efficiency in coordinating their attacks was actually higher.

"So annoying, they're like two flies!"

The enraged black dragon suddenly had a brilliant idea and set its sights on the rooftop beneath its feet, beginning the demolition work. Makoto Kyogoku, standing nearby, was taken aback for a moment.

Demolition and relocation also began.

...If the environment is disadvantageous, should we simply eliminate it altogether?

Sano's lips twitched involuntarily.

That's quite a reckless choice... In that case, we'd better hurry.

Delaying tactics are not a good option for Sano and Kaito Kuroba. In the current situation, a forced breakout is the best course of action.

Sano charged straight at the black dragon.

"So you're finally going to confront me head-on!?"

Heilong was surprised but also somewhat delighted.

He immediately stopped what he was doing, went to meet Sano, and prepared to reach the climax.

"Shh!"

Sano immediately launched a high roundhouse kick at the black dragon's head.

In their previous encounter, Black Dragon had taken countless punches and kicks from Sano. It wasn't that they were insignificant, but they were certainly not worth paying attention to.

Therefore, Black Dragon chose to take the kick head-on, intending to seize the opportunity to finish off the opponent instantly...

"boom!"

Black Dragon collapsed to the ground instantly and rolled off the roof.

Black Dragon, enters the palace three times.

Chapter 597, 600, Basic Transportation, Germany!

Conan, watching the intense battle from below, was both tense and expectant... mainly because he was genuinely curious about which side would win.

When Conan saw the black dragon get kicked in the neck, he didn't feel anything unusual, since this had happened several times since the start of the battle.

Each time, they failed to achieve any results.

This time will most likely be the same... That's what Conan originally thought.

When Conan noticed that there seemed to be faint arcs of electricity flickering on the black mask's feet, his pupils involuntarily contracted and his eyes twitched.
