Conan: I'm Really Not Tokyo Ghost Story

Page 177

Sano glanced at Conan but didn't bother to pay him any attention.

However, it seems that Sano didn't really need to take action at all.

After all, the mission deadline hasn't arrived yet, so Conan shouldn't have any accidents.

Conan seemed to have flipped his watch just now... So he finally realized he should make better use of his equipment?

Seeing that Sano was ignoring him, Conan didn't care... because he was already used to it.

The two approached the newspaper office entrance, where the situation seemed to have changed.

Looking through the window, a short-haired woman wearing a black top hat, dressed entirely in black, with hair color somewhat similar to Ai Haibara, had appeared inside, and was holding a pistol.

In addition, there was a young man who was tied up with rope, a foreign man with his arm in a cast, and a man with medium-length hair.

“…Conan? If you mean that kid with glasses, he should have been killed by Inuyama by now.”

The woman in black looked at Ayumi, who was being held in mid-air by the man with medium-length hair, and a mocking sneer appeared on her lips.

...How come they've already started delivering things in the time it takes to knock someone down?

Sano watched as Mitsuhiko and Genta bravely rushed forward, seemingly wanting to rescue Ayumi. Unfortunately, their strength was limited, and they could only cling to each other like ornaments.

"...How so?"

"I asked Conan."

"nonsense."

Seeing that there were only three minutes left in the mission, Sano knew it was time to wrap things up, so he pushed open the door of the newspaper office.

Conan, who was standing nearby, twitched at the corner of his eye upon seeing this.

They're armed on the other side, you just walk right in like that?

I never expected that after not seeing him for so many days, my good teammate would still be such a reckless brute!

Conan was speechless, but he quickly twisted his leg-strengthening shoes and kicked the pistol that the fat man, Inuyama, had dropped on the ground.

The dark figure flew into the newspaper office through the door Sano pushed open, crashing directly into the black-clad woman's gun-wielding hand, knocking the pistol away.

"who!?"

The woman in black instinctively looked towards the doorway from which the shadowy figure had flown, and her gaze met that of Sano, who had just pushed the door open and entered.

"...Rice Hammer Hero".

Sano said this: "Beihua Hammer Hero is back for a limited time!"

"Sano-nii-san!?"

The three members of the dog rider squad let out a cry of surprise and delight.

The joy comes from the fact that they are saved, while the horror comes from the fact that they may be beyond saving again.

...Oh, and there's also Ai Haibara, who just joined the squad as the fourth member, but after realizing something was wrong, she's just been hiding in a corner watching.

Isn't this the high school boy with a screw loose from a few days ago? What's he doing here?

Ai Haibara's eyes showed a hint of surprise. Also, what the heck is this "Beihana Hammer Man"? Didn't he introduce himself like this last time?

I didn't think of it before, but now when I hear it again, it sounds familiar, like I've heard it somewhere before, Sano...

"Mihana Hammer Man...that high school detective!?"

To Sano's surprise, the woman in black actually knew the meaning behind his name.

"And me, Conan Edogawa!"

Conan followed closely behind Sano, immediately eliciting a genuine, heartfelt cheer from his three friends.

"How could this be... Inuyama should have taken care of you!?"

Seeing the woman in black who was clearly flustered and bewildered, Conan confidently curled the corners of his mouth. To show off, he dragged the fat man in from outside: "So his name is Inuyama. What a pity, he's already unconscious. The gun that hit your hand just now was his."

"I failed to catch you last time, but this time, I will definitely not let you get away with it..."

"Last time?"

Hearing Conan's words, it wasn't just the woman in black who was confused; even Sano was a bit dumbfounded.

This plague god had met this group of people before.

These guys are pretty capable, actually managing to survive until now...

While Sano was pondering, Conan had already given his answer, his voice tinged with a hint of gritted teeth: "Yes, just yesterday, they sniped right in front of me..."

yesterday?

Sniping?

...Goodness, so this kid actually thought these people were his colleagues?

Sano instantly understood Conan's current mental state.

Especially since this woman was wearing a black top hat that looked almost like a winery uniform, it's not surprising that she was misunderstood.

The problem is that our own organization doesn't need to do all this fancy stuff.

They even print counterfeit money?

If you're short on cash, wouldn't it be more convenient and safer to double-cross someone than to use this?

Sano twirled the Hammer of Justice, and seeing that Conan was still trying to outwit the air, he simply swung the hammer down.

"...That's right, it's you guys who took my body—fuck you!"

Conan, clutching his head where he'd been hit, looked at Sano, who was already walking away, while his pain mask was still visible: "Wait, why did you hit me!?"

"Too much nonsense."

Sano walked expressionlessly toward the woman in black, while the two men beside her immediately abandoned the unruly children and came to greet her.

Seeing that Sano was actually going to confront him head-on, Conan couldn't care less about anything else and quickly grabbed two paint buckets from the side to help.

After all, in Conan's memory, Sano's fighting ability was similar to his own; they could only rely on sneak attacks and were not particularly strong in a head-on confrontation, let alone against a member of that terrifying Black Organization, who was not to be underestimated.

Although one of the two men had a cast on his hand, it was still two against one.

As a teammate, I naturally need to do my part.

Unfortunately, before Conan could even set the paint bucket he had dug out properly, a sudden scream forced him to stop what he was doing.

Turning his head, he saw Sano, who was surrounded by the two men, swinging the hammer in his hand in a blur, relentlessly striking various parts of their bodies.

Back of the hand, elbow, shoulder, back, calf, knee, side waist, etc.

The intense pain forced the two men to howl incessantly, but they did try to fight back.

However, when faced with Sano, who had superhuman abilities, they couldn't even touch the hem of his clothes.

In the small room, Sano dodged and swung the hammer, and in just a few seconds, he had already been hit more than a dozen times by the two men.

This made the two men, who had initially been thinking of retaliating, increasingly hesitant and timid. After about ten seconds, their mentality finally collapsed, and they completely lost the idea of ​​fighting back, only wanting to escape.

Sano's performance also shifted from a relaxed defensive counter-attack to a relentless "hunt."

"what!!!"

The two grown men's screams grew increasingly piercing. After trying to escape towards the door but being knocked back by Sano, they immediately crawled into the corner with terrified expressions.

"I was wrong! I was wrong! Please forgive me! Please forgive me!!"

Undoubtedly, pleas for mercy and insults were mixed together. Both of them were curled up, even huddled together, relying on instinct to try to get the fewest hits.

Chapter 197, Section 196: The tension is rising.

The sheer brutality of the scene, so horrifying that it was impossible not to be visibly drawn into it, left everyone else present momentarily stunned.

Damn it, even though I've seen Sano beat people up many times, every time I see it, the immersion is so strong, it makes me feel a wave of phantom pain...

Conan, who had the most practical experience with Sano's methods, was the first to recover, but after the initial shock and reflection, he still felt somewhat depressed.

...Does this mean I won't have any scenes of my own?

From the moment Sano started the fight until the end, it only took less than half a minute.

I have to say, after not hitting anyone with a hammer for a while, it felt really good to do it once in a while.

That's why Sano kept tapping the other parts of the two guys' heads instead of the back of their heads.

Otherwise, given Sano's current superhuman physical abilities, even if he weren't as strong as the special attack suit, he could take one down in just two hits at most.

It only took four blows from the two of them.

...Actually, the main reason is that Sano is not in a good mood right now. He has finally found a way to relieve stress, so of course he plays for a while. But as time goes on, the response he gets gets weaker and weaker, and then it becomes less interesting.

Looking at the two guys huddled in the corner, convulsing and only able to groan in hoarse voices, Sano smoothed his hair, lit a cigarette, and then turned to look at the last woman.

I almost forgot, there's one more thing I can use as a hammer.

Sano is a man who values ​​fairness and equality between men and women, so even if it's a woman, he won't hold back... he might even find it more interesting.

Sano Xiaoheixiao.jpg.

Noticing that Sano's gaze had turned to her and that he had given her that smile, the woman in black trembled, both in fear and in a moment of clarity.

Waiting to die is not my style!

The woman in black immediately lunged at her last hope—the pistol on the ground.

Have the opportunity!

Conan's eyes lit up when he saw this, thinking that he might have a role to play.

Unexpectedly, before Conan could even move his foot, Ai Haibara had already kicked the pistol off the ground and slid towards Sano.

Conan: "..."

The foot that's already raised is neither good for kicking nor good for putting down.

Can't you include yourself in the fun?

Ok?

Seeing the pistol whizzing towards him from the ground, Sano instinctively stepped on it, instantly leaving the black-clad woman who had missed her target completely stunned.
