Conan: I'm Really Not Tokyo Ghost Story

Inside the airship's restaurant.

Ran Mouri, Jiro Suzuki, Officer Nakamori, and their group were all firmly under the control of the people from the red Siamese cat. Only two people who had previously been to the smoking room and developed infection symptoms were kept in separate isolation in the treatment room. But just now, a third person...

Symptoms of infection have appeared.

Faced with the fear and strange looks of others.

The man, however, panicked and tried to argue that he was simply having an allergic reaction.

"Enough with the nonsense, take him to the smoking room and lock him up!"

The bearded man in the lead didn't waste any words; after giving his orders, he pulled out a walkie-talkie.

Prepare to confirm the situation with the team members responsible for guarding and keeping watch at each location.

Before they could even speak, a sudden voice interrupted.

"Why were they locked in the smoking room instead of the examination room where those two people were?"

"...Who is it!?"

The dozen or so members of the red Siamese cats in the restaurant immediately pointed their guns at the door, after seeing what the person outside looked like.

The bearded man leading the group was instantly taken aback.

"...Black Reaper, no, someone from the Yorozuya? What are you doing here?"

Sano twitched his eyelids and looked at the bearded man: "Why can't I be here?"

"What a joke! Did you come here just to play around? You must be here to stop us. Yorozuya are all messengers of justice. I thought this rumor was just a joke, but it turns out it's true... But it's one thing if you don't want to make money by dishonest means, but now you're turning around and attacking customers who are rejected. Isn't that just too unethical?"

The bearded man seemed to want to avoid conflict with Sano, so he started to talk back... He was probably worried that he wasn't the only one on the ship.

"I have absolutely no idea what you're talking about."

Without saying a word, Sano walked straight over.

Upon seeing this, the bearded man's expression tightened... To those large organizations and forces, the so-called Yorozuya might just be a place for children to play house, but to a small team like theirs, the Yorozuya's deeds... even if they were just rumors without any concrete evidence.

But it is still quite intimidating.

If you clash head-on with a team like that, even if you win, it's all for naught.

That would likely be a Pyrrhic victory, and the original objective would probably be impossible...

Wait a moment.

Suddenly, the bearded man realized something was wrong.

The Yorozuya are the core force of the Black Reaper, a high-level product, but because they adhere to the principle of operating in secrecy, they generally do not wear special attack suits.

Shouldn't they be wearing work clothes while working?

On another note, how did this guy even get on the ship?

...The Suzuki family's airship flew very high. The bearded man and his group took a helicopter midway through the journey to enter from above, but after that...

The bearded man also arranged for someone else to keep watch outside from the top, and to report immediately if anything seemed amiss.

But now I haven't received a single message.

The bearded man didn't know.

He didn't know if the person in front of him had come specifically for him and his group, or if so, how he knew that they had come to the Suzuki family's airship today. But he was certain of one thing: this guy...

They definitely got on board from the very beginning.

Or perhaps it shouldn't be called a fluke, because it could very well have just been an accident.

Is that special forces uniform the evidence?

In other words, apart from the guy in front of him, there are no other enemies.

Of course, no matter what, we have to kill this guy!

Seeing that Sano had already taken two or three steps away, the bearded man's eyes finally hardened, and he quickly pulled the trigger and gave the order.

"shot!"

"Da da da da!!!"

A dozen or so submachine guns opened fire at the same time.

The dense flames were all aimed at Sano.

Among the hostages nearby, many screamed in terror, but a large number of them had strong mental fortitude and were able to remain calm.

Even so, his expression inevitably changed drastically.

Outside the restaurant, after Sano left, a quick search was conducted, only to find that Conan, who had already defused the bomb, still disobeyed the "order."

They sneaked up here with Genta and the others.

Seeing this scene also made me somewhat worried.

...In his special attack suit, Sano's physical attributes are extremely high; even at close range, ordinary pistols might not be able to penetrate his muscles.

But submachine guns are different.

Especially with the massive increase in numbers, the risks have increased significantly.

Generally speaking, when facing such firepower, one should utilize their own agility and burst damage, as well as the terrain and environment, to avoid direct confrontation as much as possible.

Victory is achieved through surprise attacks and close-quarters combat.

That is the optimal option.

If you play well, completing the game without taking damage isn't difficult.

Even from a purely luck-based perspective, Sano could use the walkie-talkies of the bearded man's scattered subordinates outside, along with Conan's voice changer, to have the guy constantly send people out.

They gradually eroded the enemy's strength, bit by bit, until finally breaking through in one fell swoop.

However, Sano still chose to confront them head-on.

Facing the bullets aimed at him, Sano lowered his body and bent his arms, raising them like a defensive stance to protect his head in a boxing match.

The only difference is that when others do this, they are defending against physical attacks, while Sano has to defend against physical attacks.

But it was a bullet.

"Shh!"

Sano pushed off with both feet and quickly rushed towards the other side.

Countless bullets struck Sano's body, yet not a trace of blood was seen, nor did they cause him to pause in the slightest. Almost instantly, the distance between them was reduced by more than half, causing the bearded man's expression to freeze.

...Bulletproof vest!?

but.

What kind of bulletproof vest can cover the entire body and withstand so many bullets without penetrating? Even if such a bulletproof vest existed, what about the impact force?

The bearded man's face was filled with horror—he knew that he was holding a submachine gun. If an ordinary person wearing a bulletproof vest had been hit by just one bullet, they might have broken a rib... or at the very least, they would have been in so much pain that they would be covered in cold sweat, rolling on the ground, and feeling like they couldn't breathe.

But why isn't this guy reacting at all?!

During the sprint, Sano's eyes, hidden behind his arm, gradually glowed red.

Just as the bearded man suspected, Sano was wearing a bulletproof vest.

More accurately, it conjured up a bulletproof vest.

Utilizing the versatile nature of his vest, Sano can transform items like masks and glasses into combat auxiliary equipment such as gas masks and thermal imaging night vision goggles. If that's the case, he can also turn his clothes into bulletproof vests.

There's nothing strange about it... Actually, Sano originally wanted something like iron armor, but that thing was too conspicuous and too much of a hindrance.

But the bulletproof vests in this world are different, just like Gin's bulletproof vest.

Earlier, at the same spot, he was hit by so many bullets from Sano and was fine.

Even the bones weren't seriously damaged.

It would be a real shame not to steal and use this kind of Ke Xue (a type of scholar).

...Sano originally had his eye on the material of the bulletproof vest in his Masked Form, since although it wasn't as defensive as Gin's bulletproof vest, it was very lightweight.

Sano simply couldn't break it down and investigate it.

Even with scientific methods like X-ray vision, you can't see anything.

all in all.

Sano went to Gin specifically to obtain the organization's research and development data on bulletproof vests.

In addition, it includes other auxiliary equipment that is similar to clothing.

Sano took them all.

...The organization's products may not be the best, but they are at least top-notch.

You won't regret learning from it.

In particular, while the organization's bulletproof vests are very strong in terms of bullet protection, the impact force is a major problem, especially for Sano who is wearing the special attack uniform.

That means there's no problem.

It's a perfect match.

Sano could even make some improvements to it, and then choose the most suitable type of bulletproof vest to suit the situation... The only problem is that it takes a little time. The structure of a bulletproof vest is not like ordinary clothing, so it is impossible to transform it instantly.

In addition, one's own state of mind will also affect the transition time—one needs to remain calm.

If one loses control, it wouldn't be surprising if something unsightly or bizarre were to emerge.

Chapter 605, 608: Do you think you can kill me?

Oh, and there are two more issues, which might not really be considered issues.

That is, even if Sano can conjure up a full-body bulletproof vest at will, it will also impose some restrictions on his body, which is a greater restriction than a regular bulletproof vest... or more accurately, a bulletproof vest.

Of course, this is in terms of the burst damage attributes of the special attack suit.

This constraint is almost negligible.

As for the increased stamina consumption due to the restraints, that goes without saying.
