Ke Xue: Ai-chan and I have an agreement

After taking the necessary steps to enter the "Cocoon" game.

Following Thomas Sindorah's order.

Shiina Yuichi felt that his consciousness seemed to be stripped away bit by bit.

When I came to my senses again, I found myself actually in a circle of light, surrounded by chattering children.

Subconsciously he clenched his hands.

Although I know very well in my heart that this is not my real body, the feeling transmitted to my head is very real.

Is this an immersive experience?

A novel feeling came over him.

Beside me, a small figure stood silently.

Shiina Yuichi looked down and saw Haibara Ai with a smile on her face.

"Shiina-nii-san, I didn't expect you to actually come."

Ayumi's voice suddenly sounded, and her words were filled with unconcealable joy.

Shiina Yuichi was stunned when he heard this, and then looked at the three little ones who were coming over with some curiosity, "Did you know I would come?"

Ayumi had a sweet smile on her face and answered the question in a matter-of-fact tone.

"Because Shiina brother was crying before, didn't he?" Ayumi stepped forward and took the initiative to hold Shiina Yuichi's hand. "When I'm unhappy, Conan and the others are always there to accompany me."

"So, I think Shiina-nii-san can play with us, too. If we have fun, we won't cry."

Children's words are often full of innocence.

Although a little naive, the heart that is motivated by kindness is extremely sincere.

Shiina Yuichi looked at the three kids with expectant eyes, then grinned and said, "I don't play games often, so you guys have to take good care of me."

Hearing what Shiina Yuichi said, the three little ones immediately cheered.

It seems like a remarkable thing has been done.

Seeing the three people so excited, Huihara Ai interjected at the right time, "It was the children themselves who proposed this. We should thank them very much."

Shiina Yuichi nodded seriously.

"Of course, thank you too."

At this moment, he realized that the emotions he wanted to hide had actually been clearly revealed to others.

Did Haibara Ai also notice that something was wrong with him?

Shiina Yuichi was thinking uncontrollably in his mind.

After a brief thought, he thought that it was impossible for someone as smart as Haibara Ai to not notice that something was wrong with him.

But for such a long time, Haibara Ai didn't show any extra expression.

Shiina Yuichi could probably guess what she was thinking.

But since Haibara Ai didn't ask, he certainly wouldn't say anything.

Some things don't need to be spoken out loud. Sometimes just a gesture or a look from the other person is enough to explain a lot of problems.

At this time, Conan and Mao Lilan, who had already communicated with the secret code, also came over.

After all, Yuichi Shiina is so tall that he stands out among a group of children.

Looking at the lingering Shiina Yuichi, Conan's face was bitter.

Mao Lilan's face was filled with joy.

Originally, she was able to enter this game only because Suzuki Sonoko didn't like this thing and gave her the badge.

At that time, Ran Mouri noticed that Conan was rushing towards the "cocoon" in a hurry.

Notice Conan's figure.

Mao Lilan was also a little worried.

After all, this arrogant guy always rushes forward with his head down whenever he encounters something.

Although she was not sure what had happened, based on her keen sense, she knew that something must have piqued Conan's interest.

In order to find out the truth, she took the badge from Suzuki Sonoko and entered the game.

Shiina Yuu was not surprised at the appearance of these two people.

However, apart from this, there was someone who caught his attention.

That is the little devil in the red suit who is always looking at him.

Hideki Moroboshi, grandson of the deputy commissioner of the Metropolitan Police Department.

No...now he should be called Noah's Ark or Hiroki Sawada.

At the age of ten, he developed Noah's Ark, a self-growing artificial intelligence that grows in one year at the same rate as a human in five years.

A true natural prodigy.

Just as a certain swordsman wielding dual swords said when he ambushed the leader of his team.

There is nothing more boring than watching other people play RPGs.

Although there are some differences between the two, Hiroki as a child has the same heart as other children.

Shiina Yuichi looked at him without hesitation.

Those sharp eyes seemed to have seen through all his disguises.

Hiroki Sawada narrowed his eyes slightly but didn't say anything.

The annoying little devils around him surrounded him, their expressions and words revealing their excitement.

A feeling of novelty spread among these children's hearts.

Seeing that the other party was not staring at him, Shiina Yuichi did not take the initiative to expose his identity.

For him, who relies on the memory of the plot.

My appearance might disrupt the subsequent development of events.

But as long as Jack the Ripper can be caught and handed over to the police, or just killed.

There is a high probability that Hiroki Sawada will give him a break.

After all, the child's original intention was not to kill.

He said that all he wanted to expose was Thomas's ugly face.

Based on this point alone, Yuichi Shiina's goal actually highly coincides with his.

After all, he also wanted to send Thomas to jail.

If something unexpected happened, Thomas would be at large.

Changing the development of the plot is a small matter, but it would be a big deal if Gin caught him with something because of this incident afterwards.

Maybe he would even kill Thomas himself.

Although it wouldn't be a big deal even if he was caught, as long as he thought of Gin's face, Shiina Yuichi didn't need to think too much about his actions.

At this moment, a neon circle suddenly lit up above their heads, followed by a voice echoing in the dark space.

"Okay, everyone who is experiencing the cocoon game for the first time, the game has begun."

As he finished his words, five stone-paved paths appeared around the circle of light at the children's feet.

"My name is Noah's Ark. Please give me your guidance."

"Next, I will play images of five stages. Please choose the world you want to play in."

"But it's worth reminding you that this is not just a video game, but a game that concerns your own life."

life?

As soon as these words were spoken, many children showed a trace of uneasiness on their faces, and Conan's expression also became very serious.

However, he was not finished yet.

"When everyone is eliminated, you can no longer return to the real world, so you must play seriously."

"As long as one person can reach the finish line, you will win the game."

"And the children who lost the game before can also wake up and return to the real world."

"These are the rules I made. Do you understand?"

"When all the players are out, I will release special brain waves to destroy your brain structures."

Shiina Yuichi listened to these so-called rules silently with an expressionless face.

picture!

It’s so similar!

It’s a pity that he doesn’t have two swords or a handsome black cape.

The sound of Noah's Ark is not only heard in the game, but also broadcast in the real world.

"This is a game in which Japan can start over."

Everyone who heard this had different expressions.

It's hard to imagine this sentence coming from the mouth of an artificial intelligence.

Many people also thought that this was part of the game, used to create some tension.

Unless, of course, those kids’ parents think otherwise.

Kudo Yusaku, who had already returned from the basement and to the main control room, asked calmly.

“What does it mean to bet on Japan’s future?”

Next to him, Dr. Agasa was still sitting at the main computer, his fingers nimbly tapping on the keyboard, as if trying to snatch back control from Noah's Ark.

But every attempt was perfectly intercepted by Noah's Ark.

Faced with this problem, Noah's Ark gave an answer both inside and outside the game.

"A dirty politician's offspring will become a dirty politician, and a doctor who only cares about making money will become the same person in the end."

"In order to eradicate this malpractice, I decided to solve the problem from the root."

"But before that, I'm willing to give you a chance."

"As I said before, as long as someone can win, then everyone can return to the real world safely."

After saying that, Uncle Maori was the first to lose control of his emotions. He slammed his fist hard on the main control panel and questioned angrily.

"Don't be ridiculous. Do you have the right to play with human life?"

The image of Noah's Ark kept flashing on the screen, and a voice full of emotion came through the speakers.

"I don't, just like adults don't have the right to play with Hiroki's rights."

Many people were confused by what it said.

Only Thomas, standing in front of the screen, looked moody.

Perhaps he is the only one who knows the full story now.

Then, the sound of Noah's Ark fell silent.

Its target shifted to the players in the game, and it began to introduce the game background of the five stages in great detail.

Shiina Yuichi silently watched the images playing in the void, without any ripples in his heart.
