In the world of Detective Conan, however, he was bound to the Naruto System.

Chapter 226 The Pain of Nightmares

Chapter 226 The Pain of Nightmares

After the meal, the three girls had a heated discussion. They all agreed that since Akutagawa Hiko and Hattori Heiji were both stumped by the same request, and the main problem lay with Torakura Daisuke.

Compared to the two girls who secretly admire the detective, Sonoko, who once received a charm from Akutagawa Hiko, had a more imaginative idea: "Do you think this Torakura Daisuke might actually be a vampire?"

"Look, Daisuke Torakura has written so many novels about vampires. If he himself wasn't a vampire, how could he possibly know so much detail?"

The more Sonoko Suzuki analyzed it, the more she felt that what she said made sense. Although this Daisuke Torakura did not look as handsome and dashing as the vampire she had imagined, nor did he have that kind of elegant temperament, normal people would not always dress like that.

When Ran heard Sonoko Suzuki say that, she couldn't help but rub her arms, which were covered in goosebumps. The already cold weather made her shiver even more: "There are no such things as vampires in the world, are there?"

Sonoko Suzuki didn't think so. The healing amulet she possessed was proof of that. Although her father was amazed by the amulet's effects after seeing it, he did not doubt the supernatural power.

However, Ah Yan must have his reasons for hiding his identity, and she couldn't let Ah Yan down, so she could only offer a dry guarantee that what it said was absolutely true.

It must be because Daisuke Torakura is a vampire, and because he's a celebrity, it's not easy to kill him. That must be it.

Looking at Sonoko Suzuki's confident demeanor and Kazuha Toyama's hesitant expression, it seemed that they did not doubt the existence of vampires.

Could it be that there really are supernatural beings in this world that she, an ordinary high school girl, is not worthy of knowing about?

Shinichi said before that there are no demons or monsters in the world. Was he lying to her? There must be a world-class novelist like Yusaku who doesn't know that.

No, Shinichi must be worried about her, which is why he hid these things from her.

Kazuha Toyama hesitated for a moment before speaking, "I overheard my dad making a phone call when I was little. Maybe there really are things in the world that defy common sense, but they're rare. We probably just happened to run into one."

As the saying goes, "three men can make a tiger."

Xiaolan felt like she was suffocating, as if the whole world was filled with demons and monsters: "How about we go find two heads of garlic—"

I should have brought some silver jewelry. Vampires seem to be afraid of those kinds of things. Besides garlic, crosses, and holy water, what else are vampires afraid of?

Physical attacks aren't very effective against vampires, are they?

Although she was afraid of this existence, Xiaolan was not entirely a weak woman. After experiencing so many things, she had become braver and had begun to consider whether her karate would be effective against vampires.

The detective team had no idea that the girls' team was already considering getting rid of Daisuke Torakura to help them solve their troubles. Conan even made a rare phone call to his father.

Heiji Hattori didn't ask his father for help, and as expected, he was going to get a severe scolding from Wolf. He was somewhat looking forward to seeing what advice this middle-aged version of Kudo would give.

If Yusaku Kudo were in Tokyo, he would actually have many ways to put Daisuke Torakura in jail, transfer his assets with minimal or no loss, and then promote the project to create more jobs.

This is the influence of world-class novelists.

The problem is, he's currently on the other side of the ocean, and this isn't something that can be resolved with just a phone call. The issues between the group obviously can't wait for him to return.

So Yusaku Kudo simply offered a few standard suggestions and then hung up the phone.

Akutagawa Hiko also became interested. In this anime, the protagonists' fathers are essentially enhanced versions of the protagonists, which is why they are frequently banned.

Otherwise, the main characters would hardly have the opportunity to grow and develop.

It's unclear what advice Yusaku Kudo will give in this situation.

Conan shook his head. They had already discussed these suggestions, and after rigorous deliberation, they were all rejected. It wasn't that they couldn't make Toracura Daisuke pay the price.

However, due to the legal system, the methods they discussed were either too lenient in punishment, disproportionate to the effort and reward, or prone to crossing legal red lines, or had very large negative impacts.

Otherwise, there wouldn't be so much trouble.

Heiji Hattori collapsed onto the table, exhausted, fiddling with a vampire claw figurine. Of course, it was a silicone model, a product from last week, and not worth much.

"Is there really no way to just let him continue to be so arrogant?"

Hattori Heiji slammed his fist on the table in frustration, taking a deep breath: "People like that—"

Conan shook his head and muttered, "There must be a way."

Looking at the two detectives deep in thought, Akutagawa couldn't help but lament the limitations of these protagonists who were supposed to be righteous friends; they were too bound by rules and boundaries.

However, unlike those who reap all the benefits from such good people, yet mock or even look down on them, thinking they are the smartest people in the world, these people are truly fools.

Although it is said that idealists ultimately cannot withstand the ravages of reality, it is precisely because of the existence of idealists that the devastation of humanity can shine in the darkness.

Akutagawa Hiko actually quite likes this kind of character.

Daisuke Torakura lay on the coffin-shaped bed, falling into a good sleep, completely unaware of what he was about to face.

Akutagawa Hiko originally thought that Tadokoro Toshiya would make Torakura Daisuke experience the most painful thing he could imagine, but in the end, his choice was to make Torakura Daisuke become the person he hurt and experience the pain of those people.

The creation of the illusions for the employees of the Future Agency was naturally not to be taken lightly. During the meal, Akutagawa Hiko had already given Torakura Daisuke a mental suggestion that as long as he relaxed his mind, he would fall into the illusion.

For example, when you're asleep—

Although it was a dream, it all felt incredibly real. Torakura Daisuke was dragged out of bed in a daze, beaten mercilessly by debt collectors, and even threatened with having his fingers chopped off and his organs harvested to sell for money. He lay on the ground, wailing incessantly.

After that, he lay in the worst hospital bed, receiving only the most basic supplies and treatment to maintain his vital signs, and could only watch helplessly as his body gradually weakened.

Then, his theft of other people's novels was exposed, and he became a pariah, forced to live on the streets. Anyone who saw him would gasp in disbelief; there was nowhere left for him in the world.

In the midst of a nightmare, a tender sprout burst through the brickwork of the ground, the cliff where the study was located cracked open, and Toracura Daisuke, still immersed in the agony of his nightmare, fell into the sea and died.
