Assassin's Robe

By the river, Fujino dragged the old man to the bank, pressed the back of his head down, and submerged his head in the water.

After regaining consciousness, the old abbot struggled for a moment.

After failing to reach an agreement, he was picked up by Fujino and dragged to the edge of the cliff.

"I'm giving you one last chance. If you don't tell me, I'll throw you down."

As he spoke, Fujino grabbed the Red Rope tied to the old abbot and lifted him up to the edge of the cliff.

"Ah!"

Abbot Tianyong looked down at the cliff below him and let out a heart-wrenching scream.

The screams continued for a while.

The old abbot suddenly kicked his legs and fainted from fright.

While unconscious, some liquid even leaked from his pants.

Fujino: "..."

Is this old man really that bad at handling things?

So you're scared to death?

This rope is no longer usable.

Gathering her thoughts, Fujino sighed softly.

They immediately dragged the old abbot to the riverbank again and forced him to "start up" the machine.

It has to be said that this old abbot is really stubborn, with the kind of demeanor of an old bald monk who would rather die than admit it.

However, with Fujino's help in forcing him to sleep that night, he eventually couldn't bear the torment and confessed everything that happened back then.

Fujino recorded everything about his motives and methods of murder on his mobile phone.

Having obtained the evidence, Fujino nodded in satisfaction.

He put the black burlap sack over the old abbot's head, accumulating another wave of power... after becoming more proficient in swordsmanship.

They stopped when it was getting light.

Then, using Bat Dart, they knocked the old abbot unconscious, carried him to the trunk, and drove towards downtown Tokyo.

—By incapacitating the old abbot and the young monk, Fujino obtained test data on the Bat Dart:

Bat Dart do degrade on their own, but the degradation process takes time.

Before it is completely degraded, the thrown dart can be reused, but the anesthetic effect will be greatly reduced.

The first use will render the target unconscious for nearly two hours.

The second use will render the target unconscious for one hour.

The coma-inducing effect of anesthesia is determined by the number of times it is administered, as demonstrated in experiments on the old abbot.

Fujino's tests showed that the anesthetic effect of the Bat Dart could be reduced to as little as fifteen minutes.

After achieving the minimum anesthetic effect for fifteen minutes, the dart will degrade on its own without leaving a trace.

Incidentally, the anesthetic effect of the Bat Dart is constant.

They won't anesthetize him for less time just because he's an elderly person, nor will they anesthetize him to death just because he's a child.

In short, when it comes to darts, everyone is equal.

Early that morning.

The Metropolitan Police Department's operator received a strange phone call.

It was said that some criminals had been brought to the entrance of the Metropolitan Police Department.

The person on the other end of the phone claimed to be Batman, and their voice sounded just like Batman's.

Just when the operator thought it was some strange prank or some kind of code.

Officer Takagi, who had just finished working overtime all night, found an old man lying on the ground at the door.

The old man was disheveled, his whole body was soaked by the icy water, and his hands and feet were bound with red rope.

Besides the red rope binding his body, there was also a thin red rope around his neck...

A cassette tape and a piece of paper with a bat pattern were hanging from a red rope.

The paper with a bat pattern was printed with the words "The Murderer of Shan Ni Temple Two Years Ago" in Microsoft YaHei font.

The tape contained a video in which the old man confessed to killing the Monk Zhongnian and described the method of the crime.

As for whether or not he can be sent in, the Lord doesn't care.

Early morning, Beika Town, Fujino family's fourth-floor bedroom.

Just as Fujino had finished his busy night and sat down on the sofa at home;

A system notification sounded in his ear: [Congratulations, host, for completing the wanted mission. You have gained 200 Detective Reputation Points, a 3 million yen bounty, and a random equipment pack.]

[The random equipment pack has been sent to your inventory. Please check it yourself.]

Upon hearing this, Fujino took a deep breath, opened the system inventory, and his eyes were immediately drawn to the gift pack-shaped icon.

[Random Equipment Pack: Items inside have random quality and random abilities]

The random equipment pack contains equipment of random quality.

This means he could get a purple card, a blue card, or a blank card.

Everything is uncertain.

"I wonder what we'll get from this random gift pack."

After thinking for a moment, Fujino took a deep breath and opened the gift package.

A series of golden rays of light emerged from the gift package.

After a brief, realistic cutscene, a white robe shimmering with golden light appeared before him.

"Golden items?"

Fujino looked at the white robe that shimmered with gold before him, and suddenly stood up from the sofa.

A gold item!

He actually managed to get a gold item!

In his mind, gold items are usually considered extremely abnormal.

The reference is that Pocket Dimension!

Suppressing his excitement, Fujino sat down again, his fingertips lightly touching the ground, and information about the robe appeared:

Assassin's Robe: The robe of a master assassin, embodying the spirit of the Brotherhood!

This is the same robe once worn by a top assassin. Wearing this robe will make you a master assassin in the shadows!

Appearance: A white robe with a red belt. Although it has some strange stains, it is definitely a first-hand robe.

Effect:

Night Ranger: Significantly reduces your presence, affecting your environment and the user's status, while also putting psychological pressure on those who discover you.

Passing Assassin: No one can see your true face.

Shadow Assassin: When undetected, the first attack is guaranteed to crit by 200%.

Assassin's Unrivaled: If discovered while conducting covert operations, all your attributes are increased by 100%.

"A 100% increase in all attributes, reduced presence, and concealed appearance... Golden items are indeed terrifying."

Fujino examined the item skill effects of the Assassin's Robe and couldn't help but sigh.

Immediately, he took the "Assassin's Robe" out of the system inventory.

"This robe looks kind of familiar."

He examined the robe in his hand, finding it somewhat familiar. "The Creed of a Certain Guest?"

As described in the system, the Assassin's Robe is mainly a white medieval robe with some red fabric accents and some dirt in some places.

It looks like bloodstains?

After changing into Assassin's Robe, Fujino went to the mirror in the bathroom.

His image was reflected in the mirror.

However, that face was completely hidden in the darkness.

"I wonder if not my face under the hood will trigger any effects..."

Fujino rubbed his chin, then took out the Batman Mask from his Pocket Dimension and put it on.

Then look at yourself in the mirror.

At this moment, the face of Batman, which had been hidden in the darkness, emerged from the previously pitch-black hood.

As expected, it seems that he guessed correctly.

The "Passing Assassin" effect only triggers when he reveals his true form.

It will not be triggered when wearing a mask or not showing your true face.

Pulling himself out of his thoughts, Fujino looked up at Batman in his medieval robes in the mirror and couldn't help but have a strange expression. "Why does this outfit feel a little odd?"
