Comprehensive Manga: The Master is not here today

Is it Xiaolan calling me?

Conan had such a guess in his mind, but after he turned on his phone, he suddenly frowned——

Because the person calling him was not Xiaolan, what was displayed on the phone screen was an unknown phone number.

advertise?

Scam call?

"Tsk."

Conan looked disgusted and hung up the phone.

It's really speechless to receive such a call at such a time.

However, not long after he hung up the phone, before he could put the phone away, the other party called again. He hung up again, and the other party called again.

After repeating it three times in succession, Conan's expression became slightly more serious, and he should have noticed that something seemed wrong.

So this time, he finally answered the phone and said:

"Hey, who is this?"

"...!?"

After listening for a while, Conan's expression suddenly changed and he shouted in surprise:

"Are you still alive?!"

"Ah no, that's not what I meant..."

"Eh? Okay, I understand."

After saying that, facing the curious eyes of everyone, he handed the phone to Fujimaru Ritsuka and said:

"Sister Ritsuka, someone is looking for you."

"Looking for me? Who?"

Fujimaru Ritsuka took the phone and put it to his ear with some confusion. Then, a familiar electronic synthesized sound came from the other end of the phone——

"Hello, Miss Fujimaru, I am Noah's Ark."

"Noah's Ark?"

Fujimaru Ritsuka was stunned for a moment before he came to his senses and smiled suddenly:

"Ah, it's the AI ​​from the game "Cocoon", right?"

"After the game that day, Yui even mentioned you to me!"

At this time, Conan recalled his experience in "Cocoon" with a somewhat complicated expression.

In addition to noticing Jack's abnormality in the cocoon, he also got to know the mastermind behind the game of death, the artificial intelligence Noah's Ark, also known as Hiroki.

However, he remembered that in the last conversation, the other party vaguely expressed his intention to self-destruct, so he always thought that the other party had completely disappeared.

But I didn't expect that the other party would appear again at this time, and it was to find Fujimaru Ritsuka.

Why is Hiroki even related to Fujimaru Ritsuka?

When did this happen? !

Moreover, since Hiroki is here to see Fujimaru Ritsuka, why should he call him if he just calls him?

Conan was confused on this side, and on the other side, maybe Fujimaru Ritsuka's reaction was unexpected, or maybe it was for other reasons. After a moment of silence, Noah's Ark replied:

"……it's me."

"The reason why I contacted you this time is to explain some information about the black organization and you."

"Eh?"

Fujimaru Ritsuka was a little surprised.

However, she thought that as the other party was an AI, it would be easy to obtain information, so she did not ask how it knew their situation, but just asked:

"What information?"

Noah's Ark also replied bluntly:

"The people from the black organization have found the shooting scene through the custom shop talent scout - the man who was almost shot by Morishima Hodaka - and found that there is a surveillance camera at the scene."

"The surveillance cameras recorded everything, including Morishima Hodaka's face and the entire process of his shooting."

"What!?"

Fujimaru Ritsuka was suddenly shocked.

If that's the case, isn't it just a matter of time before the black organization finds Morishima Hodaka?

However, Noah's Ark went on to say:

"But please don't worry, I have deleted all the data before the other party retrieves the surveillance video, so the other party should not be able to make progress in a short period of time."

"...Who did you learn this way of speaking from?"

After Fujimaru Ritsuka was silent for a moment, he said speechlessly.

Speechless, Fujimaru Ritsuka breathed a sigh of relief after hearing the news.

The black organization is unable to find Hodaka Morishima for the time being, so next, they only need to hand over the pistol to Toru Amuro during this time.

No matter what Toru Amuro does with the pistol, as long as the black organization knows the final result of the pistol, it will probably not waste extra energy pursuing Morishima Takaho.

"The above is the information I want to tell you, then-"

Noah ignored Fujimaru Ritsuka's complaints. After telling him the information, he hung up the phone without waiting for Fujimaru Ritsuka's reaction.

"Forehead……"

Hearing the sound effect of hanging up the phone, Fujimaru Ritsuka was caught off guard.

She was actually very curious and wanted to know why Noah's Ark took the initiative to help them, but the other party seemed unwilling to reveal too much about the situation.

Seeing this, Fujimaru Ritsuka could only return the phone to Conan and wait until he had the opportunity to contact Noah's Ark next time.

However, not only Fujimaru Ritsuka, Conan also had many questions to ask the other party at this time, so he called the other party without hesitation, but——

"The number you dialed is unavailable..."

"……Eh?"

Conan looked confused, then gritted his teeth, but there was nothing he could do.

Okay, okay, this is how you play, right? !

On the other side, Fujimaru Ritsuka raised his head and smiled at everyone:

"It's good news."

She smiled at Morishima Takaho:

"For some reasons, the other party can't track you down in a short period of time. Then you just need to get rid of the pistol and you'll be fine."

"Really?!"

Hearing this, Morishima Hodaka immediately looked at Fujimaru Ritsuka in disbelief, with a look of surprise in his eyes.

Fujimaru Ritsuka nodded in affirmation, and next to Morishima Hodaka, Suga Natsumi couldn't help but asked curiously:

"Ritsuka, the Noah's Ark that I just called you on, couldn't be the legendary criminal AI - Noah's Ark, right?"

"Criminal AI?"

Hearing what Suga Natsumi said, Fujimaru Ritsuka suddenly remembered that because the impact of the "Cocoon" incident was so bad, Japan has issued the most wanted order for Noah's Ark, becoming the AI ​​that Suga Natsumi said committed crimes.

However, with the level of technology in this world, it is really impossible to arrest Noah's Ark on the Internet.

"Yeah, that's it."

"No, is it true?"

Seeing Fujimaru Ritsuka nodding in affirmation again, Suga Natsumi's eyes sparkled instantly and she exclaimed:

"You actually know that criminal AI——"

“Isn’t this so cool?!”

She brought her face close to her with great interest and asked in a low voice excitedly:

"You can both handle gun cases and contact criminal AI. Are you the mysterious organization in the comics?"

"Actually, I have always longed for a job like this. Can I join you?!"

"Well..."

Fujimaru Ritsuka scratched his head in embarrassment, and Morishima Hodaka helplessly came to the rescue and said:

"Sister Natsumi, please stop making trouble."

Then, he asked Fujimaru Ritsuka:

"Then what should we do next?"

Now Morishima Hodaka has been kicked out by Suga Keisuke and is homeless, so Fujimaru Ritsuka thought about it and smiled:

"Otherwise, Hodaka-kun, please go back with us first."

Morishima Takaho was looking forward to it, but hesitantly said:

"Hey, is that okay? I won't cause any trouble to you, right?"

"It doesn't matter."

Fujimaru Ritsuka smiled and said:

"There are still many vacant guest rooms at home, and the office can also accommodate people at night. In short, you can stay with me temporarily until the problem is solved."

"As for after the matter is resolved, it depends on what you plan to do."

At this time, Natsumi Suga said to him:

"Don't worry, I will definitely convince Xiaogui to let you come back when I go back!"

Looking at Fujimaru Ritsuka and Suga Natsumi, Morishima Hodaka's eyes suddenly turned red, and he didn't know what to say for a moment.

"Everyone……"
