Chapter 21 21. Masked Ultraman

What Yonogi Rina said was true, but also not real.

She invested in several similar companies very early on because she knew that these companies would soon occupy an important position in daily life with the rapid development of the Internet and electronic devices, and she would not lose money no matter what. Once these companies went public, outsiders would not find it strange how much money she had, and at most they would just sigh that she was lucky.

She participated in the development thanks to her previous investment in the company, and her purpose was just to leave a back door for herself.

It was she who initiated this promotional activity of the alumni network, with the aim of getting everyone accustomed to using social media and posting more photos to share online.

Her backdoor allows her to easily retrieve everyone's photo albums, including private albums, which is a somewhat illegal invasion of privacy, but when it comes to her own life, she doesn't mind doing something that won't cause too much harm to others.

Just like when she first came into this world, she was faced with an empty account, a harsh boss, and endless overtime left by the original owner's suicide.

She really didn't want to continue working overtime, but stopping work would be tantamount to suicide for the city's population. The relatively wild Internet brought her a living, and she used web crawlers to grab a lot of information and sell it. Even though she collected public information, this kind of profit-making behavior that might infringe on privacy was not considered fair. After her life became stable and competitors of the same type began to appear, she basically gave up this job.

Because she often helped Hibiki Eri collect some case-related information, she thought Hibiki Eri would roughly guess some of her work, but it seems that even the best in the legal field does not know much about cases in the Internet field.

It is similar to the Internet ecology in China in the early 2000s before time travel, which has brought countless conveniences as well as countless inconveniences.

For example, after the bombing of Hirota Masami, because Hirota Masami was most likely a pseudonym, even if it was not a pseudonym, social media was not popular and there was too little personal information available on the Internet. It was really difficult for Rina Nogi to determine Hirota Masami's identity and the organization behind her.

She and Rina Nogi worked late into the night to develop an image recognition system, and at the same time pushed the campus network to carry out promotional activities. She also thoughtfully developed a function for users to add tags to photos for search and classification. While receiving widespread acclaim, she also obtained countless free manual labeling labor.

These days, her image recognition system has been training itself day and night, and Rina Yonoki is also looking forward to it bringing her surprises.

……

"Although we encountered a bomb, luckily we got out early. The game doesn't start until 15:00, but we don't have time to go to Chinatown for lunch." Yonohira now thinks that it's a good thing that she encountered a bomb on the road. This way, the chance of encountering a case again when she goes to her favorite restaurant for dinner in the evening should be much smaller!

"Actually, I thought you would rather go shopping and eat in Chinatown than go to the ball game, Aunt Lina."

"But since we brought little Conan today, he must want to watch the game more. If it's just the two of us, it would be more fun to go to Chinatown." Yonogi Rina winked at Xiaolan, "And today's game is also quite special!"

"Isn't it just an ordinary J-League schedule?" Xiaolan was puzzled.

"I know, because Tokyo Spirit has won 9 games in a row in various competitions. Today is the tenth game. Their opponent, Yokohama Sailor, is not weaker than them in past encounters. Many people have analyzed whether Tokyo Spirit's winning streak will be ended today." Because Ayumu and the others like Tokyo Spirit's Akagi Hero too, Conan's team is quite familiar with this game.

"Yes, even though our opponent is not weak, we have heroes! We will definitely win!"

"Aunt Yono also likes Akagi, and Ayumi and the others also like him the most!" Edogawa Conan has discovered that Yono Rina is an unconventional star-chaser. He has been speculating today why she came out to watch the game, because although Yono Rina will watch football games, she doesn't necessarily have to watch the live broadcast, and she doesn't have any support items for any team stars at home.

Yoko Okino received the same treatment. Although the auntie defended her completely illogically at the scene that day, she did not behave as fanatically as she did in real life.

At first, he thought that playing Yoko Okino's videos all day long was the sign of being a fanatical fan, but later he discovered that Rina Yoshino treated the TV more as background music at home, and she didn't care at all when being interrupted by other things while watching TV.

"Aunt Yono doesn't have any items supporting the team or Akagi at home. I really didn't expect that someone would come to watch the live game for something like this."

Yonogi Rina is not such a person. After all, the seating space in many stadiums in Japan is too compact, and the experience of watching a game is really bad. Besides, the step of leaving the house is enough to make people feel overwhelmed, but... "But I heard that I'm traveling recently. I won't believe these things in the future. It seems that it's better to stay at home."

"Aunt Lina, I now suspect that you are just looking for an excuse for not being able to go out. You are obviously not someone who believes in these things, but you keep bringing them up today."

"I'm not saying I don't believe it at all..." As someone who has experienced time travel and reincarnation, it's hard to be an atheist. Yonogi Rina feels that she is just a materialist. "There are definitely many things in the world that people don't understand. Some events may become ghost stories when they can't be reasonably explained by science. What I don't believe in are those ghost stories that have no basis at all and sound unreal. They are just rumors."

"Most of the evil deeds of ghosts and gods are just people trying to hide their own sins, just like the haunted house we went to explore before. The so-called ghost shadows were just traces of the hostess hiding in the house. I have also solved some murder cases that were believed to be caused by ghosts, but they were all people pretending to be ghosts."

"What cases have you solved?" Xiaolan asked in confusion.

Edogawa Conan then realized that he had let the cat out of the bag in his excitement, and started to act silly and cute again, "Sister Xiaolan, I'm talking about the mystery novels I read. I will follow the detective to solve the case! Many times, the conclusions I come to are the same as the protagonist's. I think if I encounter such a case in real life, I will definitely be able to solve the case successfully!"

Xiaolan touched the little boy who had nothing else in his mind except reasoning, and was worried that he would become an idiot like Shinichi in the future. However, it was hard to discourage the child, so she also praised him, "Conan is really smart. Aunt Rina also helped to find a lot of clues when she solved the case before. When you grow up, there will be no case that will be difficult for you."

Conan Edogawa sounded very panicked when he heard this. He wondered if he was too active at the crime scene and was suspected by Xiaolan.

Especially today, before the explosion was about to happen, in order to prevent the explosion, he almost told Xiaolan his true identity. Afterwards, he explained to Xiaolan that he was the Kamen Rider who fooled her.

"Of course! Didn't I just tell Sister Xiaolan my true identity? I'm Kamen Rider, and I save the world every day!" As Conan said this, he also displayed Kamen Rider's special move.

"Hahaha..." Looking at the little detective acting crazy, Rina Yono couldn't help laughing out loud.

Working on an image recognition program is something that makes poor students feel uneasy, but the top students in image science should be able to do it!

Yokohama Sailor is Yokohama Mariners. It’s too difficult to come up with a name, so I’ll just borrow this one.
