At Zhuge Cong's mansion, numerous reporters were present, while firefighters and police officers were also patrolling and searching the premises.
Meanwhile, Ai Haibara stood amidst the remaining ruins of the mansion, holding the mask of her Iron Man armor, staring at the gruesome tear in the armor.
Ai Haibara picked up the steel mask and placed it on her forehead, as if she were using it as a replica of Iron Man.
"Your operation this time was, to put it mildly, brilliantly executed."
"Iron Man Zhuge Cong is currently missing and his fate is unknown."
"This is being reported by news outlets all over the world."
Inside Orochimaru's secret base, the Shadow Master, Minoru Kageno, continues to disguise himself as Orochimaru's contact to meet with him.
[Shadow Lord Kageno never imagined that Iron Man Zhuge Cong could be forced into such a desperate situation by three armed helicopters, resulting in his complete annihilation.]
[After all, according to the intelligence gathered by Shadow Master Kageno, Iron Man Zhuge Cong was a man who carried a nuclear bomb and flew a wormhole.]
"You probably don't believe those media reports, do you?"
Orochimaru looked at the contact and said.
"That's natural."
"What are your next steps?"
"Lord Shadow, Kageno Minoru, asked curiously. He was now very curious about Orochimaru's plans."
"The next move will depend on that Shadow Lord's double. I need his cooperation, even if it's a bit dangerous."
"Don't worry, I'll report this to Lord Shadow and have him order that substitute to cooperate fully with you, no matter how dangerous it may be."
"Then please thank Lord Shadow for me."
Orochimaru looked at the contact who was showing signs of backing down and said...
"Lord Orochimaru, who exactly is that guy?"
After Lord Shadow, Kageno Minoru, left, Hozuki Suigetsu couldn't contain himself and asked...
"Heh heh heh, him? He's the contact person for the Shadow Organization, or you could call him Lord Shadow."
Orochimaru spoke with a cold glint in his snake-like eyes.
"How did Orochimaru discover that the contact was actually the Shadow Master, Minoru Kageno, in disguise?"
Conan Edogawa, looking at Orochimaru on the screen, blurted out that the contact person's identity was Lord Shadow.
It's important to know that Orochimaru doesn't have the same god-like perspective as them, and Conan Edogawa didn't notice anything amiss with Master Kageno Minoru.
"Is it something like a sixth sense, a snake's intuition?"
Conan Edogawa also attributed this to the abilities Orochimaru gained after injecting himself with the Yamata no Orochi.
"It could also be Orochimaru's guess."
After Ai Haibara bumped into the steel mask, she also heard a very faint beeping sound.
Ai Haibara immediately realized something, flipped the steel mask over, and saw a small red dot flashing inside, the beeping sound coming from it.
[Ai Haibara also put on the steel mask, which emitted a blue light. The mask was loosened to make it easier for her to put on, and then it was tightened shut after she put it on.]
"Zhuge Security Server, retinal scan certified."
[After Ai Haibara put it on, an announcement also sounded. This voice was exactly the same as the one used by Iron Man, Zhuge Cong, when he made a phone call—a young, mechanical female voice, not Jarvis's deep, gentlemanly male voice.]
[Then came the audio recording that Iron Man, Zhuge Cong, had made while making a phone call on a public phone.]
Ai Haibara was initially overjoyed, because this proved that Iron Man, Zhuge Cong, was not dead, but still alive.
However, upon hearing Iron Man Zhuge Cong say he wouldn't return until they found the Shadow Lord, Ai Haibara ultimately didn't get angry, but simply sighed.
"This is utterly reckless."
Meanwhile, in Deadpool Kazuma's cabin, he lay listlessly on his bed, tossing and catching a pinball repeatedly to pass the time.
Suddenly, a notification of a payment arrival caught Deadpool Sato Kazuma's attention. Upon hearing the notification, Deadpool Sato Kazuma instantly came to life.
[Deadpool Sato Kazuma lunges at the phone, then collapses less than three seconds later, because the payment notification isn't from Zhuge Group.]
"By the way, Iron Man Zhuge Cong is currently missing, so why would the Zhuge Group send me money? Zhuge Cong's girlfriend doesn't even know he was going to send me money."
"Damn, oh, I'm going to get rich!"
[Deadpool's Kazuma Sato suddenly thought of something and jumped up on the spot, saying...]
"No way! It's my money. I'm going to get it back myself. That bastard Zhuge Cong couldn't have died so easily. Those unscrupulous media outlets just keep reporting nonsense."
[Deadpool Sato Kazuma, while speaking, put on his Deadpool suit, picked up his weapon, and then dialed his phone to call his driver, Ito Makoto, over.]
Soon, Deadpool Sato Kazuma arrived at the back entrance of a restaurant. Since he was heading to Xavier's Academy for Gifted Youngsters, and Deadpool Sato Kazuma wasn't stupid, he naturally wouldn't let Itō Makoto take him there directly.
Deadpool Sato Kazuma looked around, then pushed out a dusty motorcycle.
"Cough cough cough, I should have just let them pick me up."
Deadpool's Kazuma Sato dusted off his motorcycle and then rode it towards Xavier's Academy for Gifted Youngsters.
Deadpool's Kazuma Sato is going to get some reinforcements, and while he's at it, he'll ask Professor X, Hayato Otosaka, to find out where Iron Man, Zhuge Cong, is.
"If it weren't for Iron Man Zhuge Cong, Deadpool Sato Kazuma probably wouldn't have gone to find the person himself."
"They certainly wouldn't come to our Xavier Academy for gifted children to seek reinforcements or entrust me with this task."
Professor X, Hayato Otosaka, looked at the Deadpool, Kazuma Sato, who was rushing towards Xavier's Academy of Geniuses on a motorcycle in the light screen.
Deadpool's Kazuma Sato also significantly raised his rating in Professor X's Tsubasa Otosaka's eyes.
Qianbo didn't want to say anything, perhaps because Deadpool Sato Kazuma on the screen was always angry with him. Qianbo felt that Deadpool Sato Kazuma would go to Iron Man Zhuge Cong, apart from emotional reasons.
The main reason is probably that large sum of money.
Orochimaru, dressed in a lab coat, emerged from a lavishly furnished office. After walking down a long corridor, it felt as if he had entered another house.
The layout of this room is less luxurious than the previous one, giving it a battlefield feel. And the most striking thing in this room isn't the various machines, but a chair.
"This Orochimaru looks strange; his skin is much whiter than the Orochimaru who appeared earlier."
"Furthermore, you can clearly see some snake scales on Orochimaru's neck."
Light Yagami, seeing Orochimaru appear in the light screen, also keenly sensed the anomaly.
"Perhaps Orochimaru mutated after injecting himself with the Yamata no Orochi?"
Gordon spoke up.
"There is a possibility, but I also thought of another possibility, that is, this Orochimaru may not be the real Orochimaru."
"Instead, it's the same as Lord Shadow, Kageno Minoru."
"substitute."
Light Yagami spoke.
"A substitute, even a clone, might be a clone created by Orochimaru using one of the heads of the Yamata no Orochi."
L spoke up from the side.
After Orochimaru appeared, everyone's attention in the room turned to him.
"Alright everyone, don't speak, and don't look him in the eye."
"Unless you want to be shot dead."
Orochimaru spoke up, offering a reminder.
At the same time, a long convoy of cars pulled up in front of the house.
After the car stopped, several burly men immediately got out and stood respectfully in front of it.
"Report the situation."
"It's safe inside."
After the report was finished, Shadow's double, a bearded man wearing a hood, entered the house, escorted by two burly men with guns on either side.
Then the two burly men with guns stopped at the door. The guard at the door, after seeing "Lord Shadow" enter, took out his walkie-talkie and reported.
The "Shadow Lord" walked straight towards his throne, and then two maids beside him removed his hood.
The true identity of "Lord Shadow" has also been fully revealed; he is a man who looks to be in his late thirties or early forties.
"Alright, what are we waiting for?"
"Lord Shadow" said, looking at Orochimaru.
"Are they going to film another video?"
Kazuya Maeda looked at the "Shadow Master" sitting in front of the camera on the screen and said.
After each filming session, Lord Shadow would hack into the entire world and broadcast the footage.
"Dinner was alright, but the springs were a little rusty."
"I can make do with the remaining materials."
Iron Man, Zhuge Cong, and Harry are walking down the street.
"Oh, by the way, you said your sister has a digital watch."
