Chapter 196 Conan suddenly realizes he's in big trouble (Fifth update)
"Just let me know when you're handling the aftermath! You don't need to offer everything." A voice devoid of any emotion suddenly rang out.
Conan was stunned for a moment. When he opened his eyes again, he found himself standing in front of Number Ten, who was shrouded in mist. "How did you get here?"
Su Han remained silent. He calmly opened his palm, and darkness spread out, enveloping everyone present. Wisps of black energy were swallowed up, and the mutated children gradually returned to their original forms.
Moreover, all the Tindaros hounds that had been shattered around them were also swallowed up by the darkness.
"So that's how it is. It's a lesser evil creature born from the dead Tindaros Hound. No wonder it's so weak..."
After Su Han devoured the hounds, he gained a lot of information. He then realized why All Might had killed these monsters so easily, but remembering what he had said in the council earlier, he silently made a correction.
His words seemed to carry a hint of complaint, but upon closer examination, they appeared devoid of any emotion. "I misunderstood everything because of what the Speaker of the Council said, but that's quite normal... Genuine and inferior products are actually pretty much the same..."
Conan's eyelids twitched, and he was shaken.
An evil being born from a real Tindaros Hound? What the hell... can a lesser evil being be born from a dead corpse?
Conan felt his understanding of evil creatures had been refreshed once again...
He used to think that evil gods were the truly terrifying ones, but now he realizes that... the evil creatures they had fought in the past were merely weak.
But now it seems... this is very likely because they haven't witnessed a truly powerful evil being...
And... Conan bit his lower lip, staring at Su Han in front of him with an inscrutable expression.
Only a genuine evil god like you, or an exceptional being like the council chairman... would think that genuine and inferior products are not much different, right?
They can even be born from corpses... It's really hard to imagine. How powerful would the real original be!
Su Han remained unmoved. The darkness spreading around him wasn't limited to the first-year graduating class classroom. The terrifying darkness continued to expand, eventually enveloping the entire school building.
Many students and teachers screamed at that moment, but soon they found that the darkness did not harm them, but instead extracted black energy from them.
What are these black gases?
"I don't know why... but I suddenly feel so much better!"
"This darkness... I can touch it and it doesn't hurt me at all! It's amazing? Could it be that the world we live in is actually a fantasy world? That monster from earlier, and the blond man who pinned the monster to the ground and beat it up."
"That man must be an American superhero! It must be, his outfit is exactly the same as the superhero comics I read."
The children were very happy, but the older homeroom teachers and other teachers looked extremely solemn.
They glanced at the playground every now and then, seeing the strange figure gradually disappear and the blond man with bulging muscles. They knew that what had happened today would shock Japan... and perhaps even the whole world...
In reality, they themselves were wondering if supernatural forces truly existed in this world! Had the authorities simply been deceiving them in the past? But regardless of whether they had been deceived or not, what happened today was far too significant. Even with the Japanese official media doing their utmost, it was difficult to suppress the issue.
Classroom of Grade 1, Class B.
"What's going on?" After a brief silence, Ai Haibara struggled to her feet. She found that apart from feeling weak, she felt no other unusual symptoms.
Ai Haibara stared in astonishment at Su Han, who was shrouded in mist, before turning to Conan. "Kudo, do you know what's going on?"
Conan opened his mouth, his little face scrunched up.
He didn't know where to begin. Explain the evil god? Let alone the fact that it was impossible to explain in a short time, even if he did manage to explain it, would Ai Haibara believe him?
“The situation is obvious,” Su Han said calmly. “Your old acquaintance Gin worshipped an evil god, and then brought a group of evil creatures bestowed upon him by the evil god to cause you trouble… In the end, he was dealt with by me and my friends!”
Ai Haibara gripped the table that had supported her as she stood up, her lips twitching, but she couldn't utter a single word.
She desperately wanted to voice her deductions, such as the Tindaros Hounds being biological weapons and that she had been infected with a virus and was about to become a zombie... but the words wouldn't come out.
The reason is quite simple: Su Han resolved the situation. Moreover, whether shrouded in mist or using darkness, Su Han easily healed everyone present... This doesn't seem like a technological method.
After a brief silence, Conan bowed deeply to Su Han, "Number Ten... thank you."
He stood up, looked around at the children whose breathing had calmed down, and, confirming that they were safe, finally breathed a sigh of relief, a look of gratitude on his face.
At this moment, Conan recalled his conversation with Number Nine, where Number Nine commented on Number Ten... Although he was an evil god, his personality was surprisingly good, wasn't it?
Conan remained silent. Perhaps, he and many other members of the council had indeed misunderstood Number Ten in the past, deceived by his taciturn exterior.
With a sharp whooshing sound, All Might returned to the classroom of Class 1-B. Seeing the children back to normal, he breathed a sigh of relief, a bright smile spreading across his face. "Thank goodness... at least it didn't lead to irreparable consequences. That's really great..."
After a brief pause, All Might turned around and stared intently at Conan. "But speaking of which... Conan, you really need to think carefully about how to handle what happened today."
Conan was stunned for a moment, and then his expression changed drastically after he realized what was happening.
He realized he was in big trouble.
The commotion Gin and All Might have caused is too big; he can already imagine what it will look like in tomorrow's newspapers.
In this situation, if he reveals even the slightest flaw, he could be exposed by his old acquaintances in the Tokyo police department... It's easy to imagine the kind of treatment he would receive in this country given his supernatural powers...
After pacing around in place for a while, Conan gritted his teeth and looked at Su Han. "Could I use my newly developed rudimentary Observation Haki and Armament Haki, along with my Death Premonition... which I exchanged with you, to quell this incident?"
Su Han gave Conan a deep look and said softly, "The value of the item you offered isn't worth me doing this..."
"However, I can help you erase the memories of these children and teachers present."
