I Am a Heroic Spirit

"Oh no! Heiji! I'm here to save you!"

Conan's face changed, and he immediately bent down and rubbed the disc of his right shoe with his fingers. The crackling sound of the electrode echoed in the train station, and blue light flashed under Conan's feet.

"Aha!"

Conan took two steps forward and kicked the iron trash can hard. The trash can flew towards Xu like a kicked football.

If it's a one-on-one fight, the trash can kicked by Conan will definitely hit the Hollow's arm, and Hattori Heiji can take the opportunity to break free, but there are more than one Hollow.

A tentacle quickly stretched out from the side, easily wrapped around the trash can before it hit Hollow, and then threw it back at Conan.

With a whistling sound, the trash can flew straight towards Conan. The force was so great that it was enough to smash a person into a meat patty. However, strength is speed, and Conan obviously could not avoid it from under the trash can.

"Oh!"

Suddenly, gunshots rang out, and a bullet came from the sky diagonally above, exploding the trash can in mid-air.

"who is it?"

Bai Ma Tan's expression became serious and he looked towards the direction where the bullet came from. The police here were not equipped with pistols that could blow up trash cans.

Moriarty was spotted, holding a cane in one hand and aiming a gun in the other. He said politely, "Perhaps this isn't the first time you've seen me, but it's the first time we've met face to face. Detectives, although we're working together, I recognize your wisdom in solving the crimes I led."

"It's you! The heroic spirit who appeared during the Ghoul Extermination Incident and is known as the leader of the evil organization! Including this bombing incident, the previous seven criminal incidents were all directed by you?" Conan recognized Moriarty's identity at a glance and questioned Moriarty angrily.

"That's right, little one. It's all me," Moriarty said calmly. "I just wanted to kill some time with you, but I didn't expect your performance to be so much better than I expected. Although not as good as my old friend, it's not bad either."

"Who are you?" Ikumi Gunda interrupted Moriarty and asked directly.

"Are you asking who I am? Why don't you deduce it yourself? Detectives recognized by me, if you only know my real name after I tell you, it means that you have failed in this game. I won't be interested in playing detective games with you if you are an unqualified detective." Moriarty's words had a hidden meaning. Although it was not known whether he meant this personally, detectives such as Ikumi Gunda and Hakuba Tantei heard a threat in them.

"Even if you win this round, I hope you can survive to the next one. The world is becoming more and more chaotic." Moriarty left his last words, bowed slightly to say goodbye in a gentlemanly manner, and disappeared when he stood up.

While Conan was escaping from danger, on the other side, although Hattori Heiji was not rescued by Conan, he also escaped from danger.

"Don't move, you'll miss your target."

All he heard was a voice ringing in Hattori Heiji's ears.

Then, suddenly a strong wind was heard, and a huge sword fell from the sky, cutting off the hand holding Hattori Heiji, and also stopping another Hollow who wanted to break through the defense line.

"you are?"

Hattori Heiji looked at the man in front of him holding a big sword with sharp eyes. He didn't look like the type of man who would help others when he saw injustice. He asked in confusion.

The man ignored Hattori Heiji's words and quickly swung his sword, killing the five hollows at the door. Then he shouted outside: "It's safe here. Please come in, princess."

"Stop talking nonsense, executioner, just kill those monsters, the princess has

At this time, another beautiful girl with a fierce aura came out from the group of Hollows. The beautiful girl, dancing with a rapier, seemed to be much more powerful than the men. Every time she swung the sword, she could kill a Hollow.

"Thank you, Sanson, but you don't have to worry about me at all. Although I'm not good at fighting, I'm also a first-class Heroic Spirit. I have no problem dealing with these monsters."

As the soft voice came, the girl with a lily crown on her head bloomed here like a pure lily, with long silver hair surrounding her. When she smiled, it felt like her whole body and mind were healed, and her blue eyes were intoxicating.

Although 937 was still facing the crisis of being surrounded by more than a hundred Hollows, it was no surprise that the users' attention was attracted by the newly appeared girl.

"So beautiful." Conan couldn't help but admire. Even though Mao Li Ran was still here, he couldn't take his eyes off her.

"Another Heroic Spirit? These troublesome creatures!" Bai Ma Tan muttered to himself, frowning. After all, the current chaotic social environment was entirely caused by the appearance of the Heroic Spirit. As a former staunch materialist, he was very dissatisfied with the current social environment and even took his anger out on the Heroic Spirit.

He finally showed up, otherwise, we would be in trouble. After all, even for me, dealing with more than a hundred Hollows is not an easy task, not to mention that Aizen would not send out only such a small number of minions.

Zhang Luo showed a relaxed smile on his face.

-

Soul Society, Division 12, Technology Development Department.

Members of the 12th Division were walking back and forth. Mayuri Kurotsuchi was conducting experiments on Digimon in the laboratory. He would occasionally come out and soon return to the laboratory.

On the surveillance screen of the real world, from a high-altitude perspective, countless virtual beings were rampant in Karakura Town, but no one had any other thoughts about the surveillance.

Chapter 226 Aizen's Decision

"Don't say that, Gin. If you really count these Heroic Spirits, they are not weaker than Soul Society. After all, human history is much longer than Soul Society. I was wrong before."

Under the blue-dyed glasses, the pair of black eyes gradually narrowed. Ever since the Digimon incident, he had personally collected information about Heroic Spirits and realized the threat they posed. Although there weren't many that caught his eye at the moment, there were still quite a few powerful ones among them.

Although there are not many Heroic Spirits appearing in the open at present, there are still quite a few. If all of them are added together, they are enough to confront the Soul Society head-on.

However, among these Heroic Spirits, few could be taken seriously by Aizen. Only Astolfo's Destruction Declaration, which could break spells, Diarmuid's Twin Pistols, which could break energy and inflict non-healing wounds, Galahad's defensive wall, and Saint George, who could negate an enemy's attack once, were of any relevance to him.

Although these heroic spirits are all strong, only their special Noble Phantasms can make Aizen take them seriously, but they cannot make Aizen take them seriously.

The only ones who can make Aizen take it seriously are Gilgamesh, who can summon a world-destroying flood in seven days, and Arthur, who can release light that penetrates the heaven and earth.

As for Nezha with four heads and eight arms, the dragon slayer Marda, the wolf king Heisen Robert, Tang Shanzang who can split a mountain with one palm, and Young Gil who possesses the king's treasure, although their strength is considered to be above average among the captains, they are still not taken seriously by Aizen.

Between Gilgamesh and Arthur, Aizen values ​​Arthur more. After all, Gilgamesh's weakness is too obvious. It takes seven days to summon the world-destroying flood, and he lost his immortality because of the poisonous snake during his lifetime. This means that poisonous snake monsters are likely to have restraint on him. This is the biggest weakness of the Heroic Spirit. As long as his true identity and related information are discovered, he can find a way to restrain him.

According to Aizen's understanding of the existence of Heroic Spirits, Heroic Spirits are either famous heroes in history or famous figures in mythology. They are powerful but also have weaknesses. That is, they turn into Heroic Spirits after death. If you think about the cause of their death carefully, it turns out to be their weakness.

The same tricks are useless against Saints, but very useful against Heroic Spirits. The methods used to kill Heroic Spirits can also be used as a special move after death.

Because of this, although Aizen had long known about the existence of Heroic Spirits, he did not think that they were enemies that could defeat him because of this fatal weakness of the Heroic Spirits.

"Even so, it is impossible for those heroic spirits to unite against the enemy, unless the enemy intends to destroy the world. After all, there are too many countries and myths in human history, and each country and myth has at least two hostile camps. There is no possibility of uniting." Ichimaru Gin said with a smile, as if he did not take the heroic spirits seriously at all, implying that there is no need to care about the heroic spirits.

"But it's still a problem. If they gather in Karakura Town and claim to be righteous, it will more or less cause me some trouble." Aizen raised his hand, adjusted his glasses, and then said calmly, "First, send out the modified Hollows to test them. If we can't repel them, let Soul Society be their opponents."

"How many modified Hollows do we need to send out?" An inexplicable light flashed in Ichimaru Gin's eyes, and he asked calmly without changing his expression.

"…Send out the three Hollows first, open the Black Chamber from the train station, and send them over." Aizen thought for a few seconds, then made the decision.

"Do you want me to do it now?" Ichimaru Gin asked again.

"..."

Aizen said nothing, but turned his head slightly and shifted his gaze to the hills outside Karakura Town. There, Ishida Uryu, Arisawa Ryuki, and Kurosaki Ichigo were desperately fighting against countless Hollows.

Ichimaru Gin also followed Aizen's gaze, a playful smile on his face.

"Isn't this the little one you've chosen? There's also the Shiba family's child and the surviving Quincy." Ichimaru Gin spoke in a Kyoto accent, his words hinting at a certain anticipation. This was the first time in all his years that he'd seen Aizen attach such importance to anyone.

"That's the enemy I carefully cultivated for myself. He combines the powers of a Hollow, a Quincy, and a Shinigami into one. His future will be even stronger than his father's." Aizen said complacently.

Although it was an accident at first, from the moment Ichigo Kurosaki was born, he was included in Aizen's plan. From birth to the present, he was sent to the Soul Slashing Sword by an unknown god of death and developed the power of the god of death. This was all designed by Aizen.

"Send them two Hollows, Killian will do." Aizen instructed Gin Ichimaru.

"Okay, Captain Aizen, just wait and see." Ichimaru Gin responded with a smile, then took two steps back and turned to leave.

Aizen's gaze followed Ichimaru Gin's departing figure, and only retracted his gaze when Ichimaru Gin disappeared.

"This is getting more and more interesting, Yin, let me see how long you can hide..."

-

Empty Town.

The people who rescued the train station were not bystanders, but the princess trio. Although only Dion was a true first-class heroic spirit among the three, when they joined forces, they were no match for an ordinary group of Hollows. Within a few minutes, they were killed and only less than half a hundred were left.

Zhang Luo had arranged for them to be in Karakura Town a day in advance, and with Samson's guidance, he easily brought the Princess and Dion, two Heroic Spirits who were neither Servants nor replaced consciousnesses, to Karakura Town.

That’s right, these Heroic Spirits are not servants summoned by Zhang Luo in a formal manner, and except for Sangsong, they are all bodies dominated by the self-consciousness of the Heroic Spirits created by the system based on the prototype, and have nothing to do with Zhang Luo.

After all, they are all too weak. Although the princess is a first-class Heroic Spirit, her combat ability is too weak. Although her auxiliary ability is good, it is not as strong as Zhuge Kongming and Medea. Although Dion has the combat power of a first-class Heroic Spirit, he is a little weak compared to other first-class warrior Heroic Spirits. Even with the blessing of the Command Spell, he will not be much stronger than the Heroic Spirits of the same level. Moreover, his mind is all on Princess Mary, and it is impossible for him to fight for Zhang Luo wholeheartedly, so there is no need to waste magic power on them.

Although these two female Heroic Spirits were summoned as clones, Zhang Luo did not take away their self-awareness. There were many reasons for this, one being the discomfort. While male Heroic Spirit clones were fine, the female ones always felt off.

On the one hand, it will be influenced by the memories and subconsciousness of female heroic spirits. After all, women are women after all. Even Saber who grew up as a man has obvious differences from real men in some aspects.

On the one hand, it will affect the combat effectiveness of the heroic spirits. No matter what, Zhang Luo is not a real warrior. Princess Mary is better. If she replaces Dion, Dion's combat effectiveness will at least drop to the level of a second-rate heroic spirit.

Ran Mori, Heiji Hattori, and Kogoro Mori also retreated to the rear, and like the rest of the crowd, they watched the battle outside the train station idly.

"Very powerful, these are also heroic spirits, right?" Although Hattori Heiji's question was a question, he did not intend to ask anyone to answer.

"It looks like she is a French hero. The crown is of French style, and the fleur-de-lis emblem is the French royal emblem. That woman is probably a princess of France." Conan made a subconscious deduction based on Princess Mary's dress.

"No matter where the heroic spirit comes from, it's great that it can arrive in time. There are heroic spirits in this world." Mao Lilan said with gratitude. If it weren't for the rescue of the heroic spirit, she would not be able to save the people here with her abilities.

"Okay? I don't think so." Bai Matan said with a frown.

"What are you talking about?" Mao Lilan frowned in dissatisfaction, but did not say anything harsh. After all, she was not sure what Hakuba Tan meant.

"This world was originally a materialistic world, but since the appearance of the heroic spirit, first District 11 became a ruin, and then it became a world of chaos with all kinds of demons and monsters running out. What good is there in it?" Bai Ma Tan said coldly.

"But the monsters and demons you are talking about do exist. We can't assume that they don't exist just because they don't appear in public," Mao Lilan retorted.

"At least before that, those demons and monsters were kept in the dark and didn't appear to run around. They were able to maintain a certain balance. However, the appearance of these heroic spirits broke this balance."

Bai Ma Tan angrily told his experience.

"You know what? I've handled five cases in the past few months, but I haven't been able to deduce any of them successfully because they were all crimes committed by people with special abilities and demons. This kind of thing had never happened before the appearance of the Heroic Spirit."

Mao Lilan was choked by Hakuba Tan's words. After thinking carefully, she asked, "What happened in the end?"

"In the end, it was someone from the Countermeasures Office who took over the case." Detective Bai Ma said dissatisfiedly. In this materialistic world, a bunch of guys with special abilities came out. How could he still be a detective?

"You, kid, are taking your dissatisfaction out on the Heroic Spirit just because you've been humiliated and have nowhere to vent. To be honest, there are always many supernatural cases like this. Every police station has several of them, but they are not exposed. It's better to say that they are hiding it than controlling it." Mouri Kogoro saw the reason why Hakuba Tan was dissatisfied with the Heroic Spirit and started to sneer.

Moreover, even if the heroic spirit does not appear, in a few years, everything belonging to the inner world will gradually be known to the people in the outer world. This is the general trend, an inevitable trend.

Conan, Chima Kyoudai, Hattori Heiji, and Gunda Ikumi can all understand Hakuba Tan, because they have more or less encountered similar situations twice, but the current social situation is very unfriendly to detectives like them. Although they have complained a few times, they are not as extreme as Hakuba Tan.

No, in reality, Hakuba Tan wasn't that radical, at least compared to the truly radical ones. You know, during this period in Japan, many societies and organizations emerged to boycott the Heroic Spirits, often organizing parades to protest against the government. After all, the Heroic Spirits' battles had a wide impact, and the losses and casualties caused by their battles were considerable. Even the Digital World invasion was blamed on them by radical elements. Therefore, there were many humans who hated the Heroic Spirits. Even St. George's church was repeatedly attacked by these radical elements. Hakuba Tan was merely dissatisfied, but compared to those people, his dissatisfaction was nothing.

"All in all, the appearance of heroic spirits has brought more benefits to the world. It just brings those things hidden in the dark into the open. If it weren't for the appearance of heroic spirits, those who died because of demons and monsters would never be known to the world." Mao Lilan thought for a while before making a serious summary.

Bai Ma Tan didn't say much. In fact, he understood these things. He was just complaining and venting his dissatisfaction.

In fact, the appearance of Heroic Spirits has indeed added a lot of trouble to human society. Except for fanatical fans, rational people and those who have not suffered any loss due to Heroic Spirits, ordinary people are more or less dissatisfied with Heroic Spirits. After all, no matter how much Heroic Spirits say they are protecting the world, they have not seen anything that can destroy the world appear with their own eyes.

There is a saying that seeing is believing, hearing is not. Without seeing Apocalypsemon, Yamata no Orochi, Tima, Orochi, Asakura Yewang in full force, Black Seimei who returned from hell, and Goetia with their own eyes, they could not believe that there was anything that could not be solved by a nuclear bomb.

Chapter 227 Mary's Charm

"I don't think it's necessary. Is this a difficult problem? We need to rack our brains to reason. Even Uncle Mori should know the identities of the three people." Hakuba Tan sneered, glanced at Kogoro Mori, and then said arrogantly, directly rejecting Ikumi Gunda's proposal.

"Ah? Ah! Of course, how could such a small thing upset me, the famous detective Mouri Kogoro? Hahahaha..." Mouri Kogoro was stunned at first, then touched his head with his hand and laughed triumphantly.

No, it should be said that only Uncle Maori couldn't figure it out.

Looking at Kogoro Mouri's smug look, Conan rolled his eyes and complained silently.

"Haha, that's true. After all, the information is too obvious. As long as you have some knowledge of French history, you can deduce the identities of those three people." Qiangtian Ikumi chuckled, not caring about Hakuba Tan's arrogant attitude, because they had long been accustomed to it, and outstanding people also have the qualifications to be arrogant.

"Although it sounds simple, we are not scholars or detectives, and we don't have a deep understanding of foreign history." A male reporter said self-deprecatingly.

"Detective Gunda, since you said that, you should already know the true identities of those heroes. Can you answer the questions for us and our audience?" A female reporter asked with a polite smile.

"Well, of course," Gunda Ikumi nodded, and then, before anyone else could speak, she was the first to speak: "The man called the Executioner, called Samson, must be the fourth generation of the French Samson family. He is the most famous executioner in France, known as the keystone of the Revolution. He invented the guillotine and executed Princess Marie Antoinette and Louis XVI. He is the only one in France who has a connection to the princess and is qualified to be the executioner of a heroic spirit."

"And the person called the Princess was probably Marie Antoinette, Queen of Louis XVI. According to records, when Queen Marie was pushed to the guillotine, she stepped on the foot of the executioner, Samson. At that time, she said to him, 'I'm sorry, you know, I didn't mean it.' This is one of her two most famous quotes during her lifetime."

Conan took over the end of Ikumi Gunada's words, and before Ikumi Gunada could continue her reasoning, he took the lead in stating his reasoning and evidence.

On July 14, 1789, when the masses stormed the Bastille, Marie Antoinette persuaded Louis XVI to take his troops to Metz for refuge. She also supported the king in rejecting the National Assembly's demands for the abolition of feudalism and the limitation of royal power, becoming a target of public criticism. However, both at the time and in later generations, many sided with the queen, such as Victor Hugo of France and Stefan Zweig of Austria, who both expressed sympathy. Of course, there were many other lesser-known royalist figures. It's worth noting that in addition to Stefan Zweig's biography of the queen, Alexandre Dumas also wrote his "French Revolution Trilogy" about her: The Baron of Balsamore, The Queen's Necklace, and The Knight of the Red House, which detail three stages of the queen's life. This queen's fame was immense, surpassing even Louis XVI's, and her becoming a heroine is not unimaginable.

"I know this. Queen Marie also has a famous saying, which is 'Why don't they eat cake?' It is said that she said this when a French minister told her that the French people couldn't even eat bread. Is that right?" A female reporter interrupted Conan excitedly and said complacently.

In order to gain exposure and increase ratings, the female reporter seized the opportunity and spoke without thinking carefully about whether what she knew was correct.

"There should be a limit to ignorance. At least don't speak it casually and embarrass yourself. This sentence was clearly said by the queen of Louis XV, and the original sentence was, if there is no bread, why not use the bread crust to dip in the sauce." Bai Ma Tan showed a disdainful smile, his eyes fell on the face of the female reporter, and he started to mock.

"Haha, that's why we don't know much about foreign history." The female reporter laughed dryly. Although she felt a little embarrassed in her heart, she didn't show it on her face.

"As for that swordsman, he was probably a member of the French dragoons. At that time, only members of the dragoons could have been far superior to me in swordsmanship. It's just that there don't seem to be any women in the dragoons. But if I'm looking for a man with looks comparable to a woman, there was one who met that requirement in France during Queen Marie's lifetime."

Hattori Heiji ignored the brief exchange between Hakuba Tan and the female reporter, and immediately stated his own reasoning about the swordsman.

"Rumor has it that this legendary French figure, Dion de Beaumont, was both a woman and a man, a swordsman and writer who was both skilled in both military and literary arts. He was active as a spy in secret bureaus hostile to various powers, and had served as plenipotentiary minister and captain of a dragoon company. It is said that Queen Marie had never provided this knight with women's clothing."

"Queen Marie, Chevalier d'Eon, and the Executioner Samson, these three people are all figures from the same period. They are also among the people most likely to become Heroic Spirits in France during their time. It seems that there are no loopholes in the reasoning of the detectives. They are worthy of being famous detectives. In just a few minutes, they have deduced the true identity of the Heroic Spirit." A reporter exclaimed in admiration, and the other reporters began to applaud.

"It's nothing. After all, the other party has revealed clear information." Ikumi Gunda was calm and polite to a group of reporters.

At the same time, the Xu group had been completely wiped out, and Mary, Samson, and Dion gathered together and entered the train station.

"Everyone, please come out. We have eliminated the monster." Mary responded with a beautiful and healing smile, and told the people in the train station the good news in a pleasant voice.

There was a moment of great silence among the people in the train station, followed by enthusiastic cheers.

"Thank you, thank you, thank you everyone! I love you all the most!"
