Chapter 534 The Invisible Man

Fortunately, Karasuma Renya's worries did not come true.

Hearing what these people were saying, Daisuke Jigen, with his hands in his pockets, patted Lupin III on the shoulder and then gestured wildly.

Only Lupin III and his men could understand the gestures they were making.

These guys seem to have something wrong with their heads.

Lupin III nodded.

"...I think so too."

However, despite saying that, Lupin III's intuition told him that something seemed off.

After glancing at everyone again, Lupin III's eyes lit up, and he immediately clapped his hands and said.

"Alright, alright, since you all seem so confident, I won't waste any more words."

"I was originally planning to give you all a little test, but there's no need. I'm sure you're all capable people, and I welcome you to join my team!"

"..."

Seeing that Lupin III had acted tough just now but now seemed to be showing weakness, Fujiko Mine frowned and whispered in Lupin III's ear.

"Lupin, isn't this..."

"Hey, Fujiko, these guys of ours are definitely going to do big things, and that's the kind of people we need to help us!"

As Lupin III spoke, he winked at Fujiko Mine.

The latter understood, sighed helplessly, and said nothing more.

"Come in, everyone, let's come in and discuss our plan in detail."

……

Half an hour later.

The lights in the bar dimmed, and the people dressed in outlandish costumes walked out of the bar one after another.

"Take care, everyone. The plans for the next few days depend on you all, Sayyirara!"

Lupin III waved his hand and shouted with a loud laugh to the departing crowd.

Lupin III only lowered his hand after watching them drive away, and the smile on his face vanished instantly.

What do you think of these people?

After closing the bar door, Lupin III returned to his seat, lit a cigar, and addressed the others.

"Although these people are no match for Lord Qi Ming, they seem to have physical abilities far exceeding those of ordinary people."

Ishikawa Goemon spoke with his eyes closed.

He has now recovered from the distress caused by Qi Ming breaking the Iron-Slaying Sword with two fingers.

After pondering for a moment, Fujiko Mine tapped his chin and said.

"Are they not quite right in the head? And these people always seem to like saying things that are all over the place."

Daisuke Jigen poured himself a glass of wine, pondered for a moment, and then spoke to Lupin III.

"But Lupin, are you really going to use them?"

Daisuke Jigen glanced silently at Fujiko Mine and spoke in a voice only the two of them could hear.

"Didn't you say that guy named Smith had other plans? I feel like something's not right to just trust them like that."

Naturally, Daisuke Jigen also didn't quite believe Fujiko Mine.

I have a feeling that this woman might team up with those people to catch Lupin in the end.

You can't defend against a knife from the front, but you can't defend against a knife from behind.

"Believe? No, I don't believe."

Lupin III exhaled a puff of smoke.

"I have a bad feeling about this... You guys probably heard what they were talking about, right?"

"What are you talking about? This time, the defending side also has a group of tough guys to deal with."

Lupin III couldn't understand why these people referred to the police as the "defenders."

There is also a group of difficult people to deal with.

This means that there is also a group of strange people like them on the police side.

"And I've already thought it all through, this time we..."

Lupin III extinguished his cigar and was about to speak when Daisuke Jigen stopped him.

Seeing this, Lupin III swallowed back what he hadn't finished saying.

Not only Daisuke Jigen, but also Goemon Ishikawa opened his eyes and looked in a certain direction at this moment.

Daisuke Jigen drew his gun and pointed it at a spot not far away, saying...

"Who is there?"

"..."

The atmosphere in the bar suddenly became heavy.

Lupin III and Fujiko Mine looked in the direction Daisuke Jigen was pointing, but there was nothing there.

"What are you two doing? There's nothing over there!"

Lupin III scratched his head, but he still had considerable faith in the judgments of Daisuke Jigen and Goemon Ishikawa.

"Were you a little tipsy just now? How about a low-alcohol drink to balance things out..."

As Lupin III spoke, he casually picked up a bottle from the table, and before he could finish speaking, he threw the bottle violently into the open space.

Snapped--

The wine bottle flew through the air, smashing against the wall and shattering into pieces, scattering glass shards and red wine everywhere.

However, seeing the perfectly normal scene before him, Lupin III frowned.

It's normal for a wine bottle to fall to the ground without any resistance.

But why are there wrinkles on the carpet next to it?

It's like... there's something unseen standing there.

"shot!"

bang bang bang-

Upon hearing Lupin III's words, Daisuke Jigen fired without hesitation!

A gunshot rang out, but the bullet missed its target and embedded itself in the bar wall.

The carpet moved, and soon the bar door, which had been closed, suddenly opened.

"open!"

Ishikawa Goemon frowned and bent over, making a gesture as if to draw his sword.

A flash of silver light, and the sword was sheathed in one swift motion.

However, the door in front of them was completely undamaged.

"...Ishikawa, isn't your sword already broken? What's the point of you drawing it again?"

Lupin III glanced at the broken sword in Ishikawa Goemon's hand and made a sarcastic remark.

However, Ishikawa Goemon calmly closed his eyes and spoke lightly with the air of a master.

"No, it's already done. Even if my sword is broken, it can still cut through anything."

"……What's the meaning?"

Lupin III had barely uttered the words when he realized, in the next second, what Ishikawa Goemon meant.

A straight, gleaming line suddenly appeared on the bar's entrance and the walls on both sides.

However, the light from those thin lines should be light shining from outside the bar.

Immediately afterwards, the upper half of the entire bar slid down suddenly, and everything around the walls was neatly cut apart.

"...Ishikawa, thank you so much!"

Boom——

Several people ran out of the bar.

Looking back, only half of the bar remained standing there amidst the smoke and dust, its broken edge smooth and even.

"Do we need to pay for the bar's expenses?"

"Ishikawa, what do you say?"

"...I'm sorry, I was a bit irrational."

"Alright, alright, anyway, we'll have that person to take the blame for us."

Lupin III waved and walked over to the ruins of the bar to take a look.

His gaze sharpened, and he pulled out a flashlight and shone it on the ground.

There was a pool of blood there.

After a long silence, Lupin III squinted, squatted down, took out tools, and collected the bloodstains on the ground, sighing helplessly.

"...I've really had enough of these supernatural events. The cursed demon sword, the ghost, and now an invisible man has appeared?"
