Phantom Thief of Heart!but conan

Chapter 939: Gun Counterattack, Boy

After actually playing with Kidd's hang glider, Tang Ze's evaluation was -

"It doesn't feel as convenient as my rope." Tang Ze commented after pulling the rope on his shoulder and slightly adjusting the direction of flight.

"Even if you say so..." Zhu Fujingguang, who had headphones on his ears, heard this as soon as he arrived and couldn't help laughing.

"That's a seriously developed technology, it can't be compared with your magic." Miyano Akemi shook her head, expressing helplessness towards his Versailles.

Of course, Tang Ze did not hide the scarf issue from them.

Although mixed in with scientific props, the ability of the scarf can at most be regarded as an ideal carbon fiber zipline, coupled with a relatively movable rope. It looks rather ordinary, so Conan and others have not found anything unusual so far. However, Tang Ze, the user, is very clear about the special features of the scarf.

This magical object can be operated by thoughts or brain waves, like an extension of the arm. Not only Dr. Agasa, who is very knowledgeable in science, but even people like Tang Ze, who are very knowledgeable in cognitive science, have not figured out its principles.

"Your scarf is indeed magical." Zhu Fujingguang put on his headset, picked up his sniper rifle again, and added softly, "However, compared to this kind of thing, I am more curious about how you were able to master his hang glider so quickly? Although his hang glider has been modified, the difficulty of operating it should not be much lower than wing suit flying..."

Not to mention, Kidd's gorgeous suit and cape are simply not as protective and fixed as professional extreme sports athletes. The seemingly easy and comfortable flying is actually a very difficult and dangerous behavior.

"Ah, about this, maybe I should thank Mr. Hagiwara." Tang Ze adjusted the device on his body to make it more suitable for his usage habits, then he held the box in his hand and slid out in the original direction.

"Ah?" Kenji Hagiwara, who was standing among his teammates, raised his head blankly.

This was of course because of Hagiwara Kenji's extremely outrageous mastery of all vehicle driving, and he considered wing suit flying or hang gliding as a vehicle. It didn't take Kidd much time to teach him, and Tang Ze easily mastered it.
"Okay, Scobin..."

"Don't worry." Asai Narimi's soft voice sounded over the communication, "It's not a big problem."

On the other side of the city, Scobin, his eyes glued to the scope, seemed to be aware of something.

She didn't take her eyes off the scope, but she opened her other eye and paid some attention to it warily.

For some reason, not long after arriving in Osaka, she began to feel a subtle sense of uneasiness.

Scobin, who had been a hunter for many years and considered himself an expert at this, felt that this was most likely not his illusion. When he considered the Egg of Memory as an important hunting target, he must have also entered someone's sight and become a target...

After looking around for a while and not finding the source of the uneasiness, she raised the gun again, but this time, she crouched even lower, and her whole body was almost completely hidden in the shadows.

She had no time to focus on other things for the time being. The already successful Kaito Kidd was flying away from the harbor with her treasure, flying towards the web she had woven...

Staring closely at the target gradually approaching in mid-air, she narrowed her eyes slightly.

A subtle light floated in her eyes. Although the person flying in the air was unaware of it, Scobin had clearly captured the momentary slowness in his flying movements.

The sight of the scope accurately captured the face of the thief, who was looking forward with a smile on his face, feeling proud of his easy success.

Kaito Kidd, who was holding the wooden box, seemed to notice the red laser dot floating on his cheek and turned his head towards the direction of the gun line.

It was at this moment that her red dot was aimed at the other person's right eye, and he couldn't help but squint slightly because of the reflection from the monocle.

It was also at this moment, the moment when she pulled the trigger without hesitation, that she recognized the surprised face of the young man under the top hat.

It was the guy named Tang Ze Zhao who had been pestering her a few days ago, seemingly trying to extract some information from her...

Almost the next second after the bullet was fired, Scobin suddenly felt a horrible pain in her right eye, as if something had shot into her eye socket with her movement, piercing the tissue and blood vessels, and shot straight into her brain. The pain was so severe that she could not control her voice at all. She instinctively wanted to cover her right eye and let out a scream.

This is, what is going on... My ability shouldn't...

The moment she was attacked by pain, the power of adrenaline made Scobin's thoughts run fast. However, before she could put down the gun in her hand, a cold light shot towards her right eye which was attached to the sight.

Relying on the physical instincts acquired through years of training, Scobin quickly turned his head and rolled on the ground, narrowly avoiding the cold light.

With a metallic buzzing sound, she turned her head and looked at the thing that had just been shot at her.

But it was an arrow that was completely black and the material of it was unclear.

Feeling a chill on his back, Scobin turned his head, trying to find his attacker.

Not far away, on top of several containers, a man in a bright red robe made a gesture of drawing an arrow from behind and drew the bowstring again.

As he turned and ran, trying to find cover, the only words that flashed through Scobin's mind were "ridiculous".

Bows and arrows, some people actually use bows and arrows to fight snipers... The problem is, considering the close combat and flexibility, it seems that they really can't beat them...

She pursed her lips, fixed the gun back to her back with one hand, and covered her right eye which was still in pain with the other hand. She breathed deeply while looking for an escape route that could avoid the attacker's sight.

When she left the shelter for the first time, the arrow that seemed to track her footsteps once again flew past her face, almost piercing the cloth covering her face, and once again penetrated deeply into the concrete floor.

Scobin's scalp tightened, and he immediately crouched down, quickly passed through the pipeline area, found his vehicle with difficulty, mounted the motorcycle, and fled at high speed.

Only after they escaped from the dock area did the biting cold that had been following them subside a little. Scobin almost slipped off the motorcycle. He finally had time to think about whether he had succeeded, the whereabouts of the Egg of Memory, and his right eye that was still throbbing with pain.

She raised her trembling fingertips and touched her right eye, which was twitching as if it was exploding. Feeling the pain, she quickly took out a mirror.

The lighting of the entire city has not yet been restored. In the dark night, only the fireworks from the castle tower and the bright moon hanging high in the sky are still twinkling.

With the help of these weak light sources, Scobin was finally able to see the condition of his right eye.

Her eyeballs were not broken, and her skin was intact, but her eyes were filled with blood, as if flesh had exploded and curled up after being pierced by bullets, and radiating blood vessels covered the whites of her eyes, making them look terrifying and shocking.

Her grey pupils were completely stained red by the congested blood vessels, and under the cold moonlight, they looked like bloody holes. It was as if her bullet had penetrated not Kaito Kid's eyes, but her own.

As the terrified sniper collapsed on the side of the road, the belated detectives finally arrived at the scene of the attack, panting.

There, the wooden box containing the Egg of Memory was broken into several pieces. The exquisite work of art rolled into the dust, and next to the box...

Before Conan could take a closer look, a slender figure rushed down the stairs next to him and picked up the broken glasses faster than them.

After parking his motorcycle, Hattori Heiji narrowed his eyes suddenly.

"Hakuba Tan? Why did you come to Osaka?"

Looking at Hakuba Tan who was also panting while running but whose clothes were not at all messy, Hattori Heiji thought of Akechi Goro who was standing in the art museum and chatting and laughing with others, and became even more angry.

How come I’m back in my own territory, but still can’t get rid of these annoying colleagues?

Bai Matan looked back at the two of them and nodded lightly. He ignored the two people who were rushing to pick up the eggs of memories. He just raised the broken monocle in his hand and frowned.

"Scobbin, tsk, still haven't caught him in the act..."

"Are you okay, Tang Ze..."

"Were you really hit? You're not relying on your recovery ability to take it head-on."

"Hey, hey, is your plan to prevent Kidd from getting shot so that you can get shot yourself..."

Although a silencer is installed, the noise of the sniper bullet with huge kinetic energy is still loud in the headset.

Knowing that Tang Ze had many ways and that damage from thermal weapons alone would hardly have any impact on him, several people in the communication network asked at the same time.

Tang Ze jumped directly into the cognitive world from the air, folded the hang glider behind him, brushed off the tiny glass fragments on his face, and shrugged.

"Don't worry, it's okay. I did it on purpose."

As early as the first time when Beretta faced Gin as a joker, Tangze had already tried the effects of shooting-ineffective P and gun-counter-P in reality. Later, during the friendly mutual harm, oh no, sparring with his teammates, he also made several attempts.

The conclusion is that, like every mask ability used in reality, the power that does not directly act on the cognitive world cannot be reproduced 100%, but it will really restore the appearance of part of the power and make the shooter himself feel pain.

It wasn't so obvious in the past, mainly because neither Gin at the beginning nor his teammates who shot and beat him later were aiming to kill him, and Tang Ze had no intention of fighting back, just doing it for the sake of his own will. So the feeling of them hitting him was the same as being hit by BB bullets. It hurt, but that was all.

But Scobin is different. She is a serial killer who stubbornly tries to recreate the glory of her ancestors and regards hitting people in the right eye as a ritual. Whenever she shoots, she is always full of murderous intent and is determined to hit the right eye.

In response, Tang Ze could only say, hit me as much as you want, I'll see when you kneel down and beg me to stop.

"Okay, are you ready?"

Raising the wooden box in his hand, Tang Ze looked at his teammates who had obviously completed their work and confirmed.

"Don't worry, Ryu Kankawa is indeed not a guy with shocking desires. At most, he's a, um, bastard with some money." Jinpei Matsuda shrugged.

"That's good. Let's go. If we go back now, we can still make it in time for the speech."

The thieves who completed a night raid in the dark walked briskly and patted each other on the shoulders to encourage each other, as if they were unaware of the sensation they had caused.

But outside, news has begun to spread that Kaito Kidd succeeded, but was attacked after the success, and is now missing and may have died.

"'...I sincerely hope that the Suzuki Museum of Modern Art will have smooth sailing and a bright future...Yes, that's right, what we handed over to the police was still a fake, and the real Egg of Memory is still kept in the museum...I'm sorry, I have no comment on this issue for the time being...'"

Conan frowned irritably and turned off the TV in front of him. Goro Akechi's gentle smile finally disappeared into the darkness.

"No wonder Sonoko paid so much to hire him." Conan curled his lips, "If it was Uncle Maori, I'm afraid he wouldn't be so skilled at lying in front of so many microphones and cameras."

The news that Kaito Kid may have died in the attack has been temporarily blocked by the police.

Although the Egg of Memory seemed to have fallen from such a great height, there was surprisingly little collision, as if it had been carefully placed on the ground by someone. But no matter what, it was in a state of being damaged.

No matter how young it is, it is an old work of art with many sophisticated mechanical structures inside. The impact of bumps and collisions on it is difficult to estimate.

So although the exhibition was not stopped, the real Egg of Memory had been urgently recovered by the Suzuki family and was prepared to be sent back to Tokyo by cruise ship for re-inspection of damage and maintenance.

As for Kaito Kid and the theft of the Egg of Memories, the police will definitely keep it confidential and will not reveal anything until the investigation is completed.

Therefore, the invited person Goro Akechi, who nominally led the defense battle, became the best public relations person and was pushed to the front by the Suzuki family and the police to face the media bombardment.

"Ms. Sonoko did choose a good candidate." Hakuba, who had watched with relish for a long time with his chin in his hand, looked away regretfully, "Akechi-kun knows how to deal with the media, and the public opinion is under control. The power outage did not cause any impact on Osaka, and the power supply was not even damaged. We also got to watch a free fireworks show. I think everyone is quite satisfied."

"Ha, very satisfied..." Conan's mouth twitched twice, but considering that he was not very familiar with Hakuba Tan, he swallowed the rest of his words.

Hattori Heiji pursed his lips tightly, but his focus was not on Goro Akechi at all: "You said before that you came here to track down 'Scoopin'. What did you find out? Do you have any information about Scoobing that you can reveal?"
