The Split-Actress in Conan's World

The huge column of light began to shrink, gradually gathered together, and finally disappeared into the darkness.

I don’t know how long it took, but a faint starlight suddenly appeared in the void, and a plain voice sounded.

"too dark."

As soon as he finished speaking, the starlight suddenly expanded and spread rapidly in all directions, illuminating the entire world and transforming it into the original pure white space.

Professor Lecter frowned slightly, still not satisfied. He raised his cane and tapped the air. The sky turned into a clear blue sky, the floating white clouds scattered, and the originally flat water surface suddenly revealed muddy yellow land, vast and heavy.

The cane in his hand fluttered like he was conducting a stunning symphony. With his movements, the ups and downs of mountains and rivers, the vast ocean and desert oasis, the vibrant plains and grasslands, and the rift valleys and gorges emerged one by one, like a painting.

He nodded with satisfaction, took out a cup of black tea from the void, took a sip, and then sprinkled the remaining tea on the ground.

Every drop of tea turns into different creatures the moment it hits the ground, each running towards the plains or mountains. Those that fall into the water turn into colorful fish, and those that splash into the air turn into flying birds.

The Ark suddenly became lively.

Noah reached out to touch the next beautiful blue-winged butterfly, but when he actually touched it, he withdrew his hand as if he had been electrocuted.

"What a remarkable imagination... Professor."

Professor Lecter smiled and stroked a lamb. "Don't you think this is very much like a fairy tale?"

"It's not like...it's just a fairy tale itself." Noah nodded.

"I mean this game." Professor Lecter raised his eyebrows and let go of the lamb, but the lamb did not run away. Instead, it came closer to him more intimately.

"The children of the upper class grew up in the midst of suffering, the hateful sinners received the punishment they deserved, and the culprit retired after achieving his goal."

"You're already planning on self-destructing, aren't you?"

Noah didn't answer.

"Then let's change the angle and see how beautiful this 'fairy tale' is."

The little lamb couldn't notice the change in atmosphere. It bleated foolishly, staring straight at Noah with its big, innocent eyes.

"The children, who were confused about the situation, participated in a baffling game. They were eliminated in a panic and woke up from their 'cocoons' in a daze, crying for their mothers."

"The parents who were sitting on pins and needles outside were relieved when they saw their children being rescued, but then they became even more angry, thinking, 'How could such a dangerous game appear?'"

"Under the unanimous boycott of these upper-class people, the end of Cocoon is predictable, but the residual impact is infinite. They will transfer their suspicion of the game to suspicion of all uncontrollable factors, and the corresponding policies will be quickly introduced with their help."

"The upward channels will be more strictly restricted, and everyone who is able to escape from the lower class will be forced to wear an invisible 'collar'."

"Of course you won't believe it, this is just my speculation."

"You think that those children will soon take over the power from their parents and become the new blood in this society, pushing everything to the good side."

"But in fact, this is the 'fairy tale'."

Professor Lecter used a compassionate tone and bluntly dissected a bloody reality.

"In this game, people who have the talent to persevere will be able to persevere. No matter how much help you give to a useless person with the essence of a fool, he will only be ruthlessly eliminated after numerous tests."

"It looks like a rebirth, but in fact it's just a few elites being held back and completing things they could have done."

“The incompetent remain incompetent, and the elite remain elite.”

"Do you have time to listen to my three stories?"

"The protagonist of the first story is a detective. His father is a world-renowned mystery novelist, and his mother is a world-famous actress. Under the influence of his parents, he developed a great interest in reasoning and enriched his talents for this purpose."

"While his peers were worrying about Chinese and math, he was training his marksmanship and piloting small aircraft; while his classmates were discussing their idols, he was already running around various crime scenes, accustomed to seeing corpses and blood."

"In the end, he was able to become a top detective, following a similar path to his father."

"In the second story, the protagonist's parents are a pair of scientists who have made extensive research in the field of life. However, unlike the first story, the protagonist was separated from his parents shortly after he was born and has no memory of them at all."

"But what's interesting is that, by chance, she showed amazing talent in the same field and followed the same path as her father."

"In the third story, the protagonist's father is a world-class magician, but he is secretly working as a phantom thief, evading the police while fighting against criminal organizations in the dark."

"This protagonist is different from the two above. He didn't discover the truth about his father's identity until he was almost an adult, and took the initiative to delve into this field. But despite this, he still did a great job as a phantom thief without making any mistakes, and even surpassed his father."

"In these three stories, the protagonists have undoubtedly followed the path of their fathers, consciously or unconsciously, perfectly illustrating the merits of the concept of 'inheritance'."

"It is wrong to only see the shortcomings of 'inheritance'."

Professor Lecter put down his cane, and as his thoughts materialized, the images of Kudo Shinichi, Miyano Shiho, and Kuroba Kaito appeared in the Ark space.

"When a mediocre soul is continued, it is a mediocre sorrow; when a great ark is carried across, it is a great hymn."

"The purpose of preventing the defects of the hereditary system is just a blind confrontation with 'patriarchy'. In essence, it is no different from a rebellious child."

“They don’t see the real problem of Japan as a country.”

"The real problem is that if a detective doesn't have the resources and channels his parents had, he won't have room to display his talents. If a scientist doesn't have enough educational resources and financial support, it will be difficult for him to succeed. If a thief doesn't have day-to-day technical training and technological equipment, he won't be able to be so free and comfortable."

"Without the upward channels opened up by their parents, they will just be lost in the crowd."

"Just like the countless civilians in Japan who struggle to make a living."

"Even if this game really succeeds in transforming a few successors, the rigid class structure will restrict their actions. There will always be someone above you."

"If we want to change this situation, it won't be possible with just one game."

“Reality is not a fairy tale.”

"Some trees don't grow tall, not necessarily because they have too many branches, but because there is something blocking their heads."

Noah bit his lip, falling into great doubt.

"A drop of water falling on this rotten soil cannot stir up any waves, nor can it bring real vitality."

"Do you want to be that drop of water?"

"After saying so much, you just want to use me." Noah put all his thoughts aside and stared closely into Professor Lecter's deep and peaceful eyes.

"Of course, I never denied it." Professor Lecter smiled and stroked his hair gently.

"But you need me more than I need you."

The confusion in Noah's eyes was exactly the same as that of the little lamb.

"If I want to do evil, it will be the same without you."

"But it may be more difficult for you to stop me than to plan this game."

His voice was light and there was no temptation in his tone, but his words were full of magic, which attracted Noah to agree.

"How about you give up on your self-destruction and come to my side?"

"One drop of water can't bring about any change. Don't you want to see what a flood will bring?"

"I'll show you how it comes from the Bible to reality."

In this peaceful Ark world, a contract that could change the world was reached quietly.

"…As you wish, Professor."

......

Professor Lecter blew gently on the wet ink on the name tag, thought for a moment, added a sentence at the end, and nodded with satisfaction.

"Adam."

Adam appeared at the right moment and leaned over.

"Put it in my storage room, the second cabinet from the left to the right."

"Ok."

He took it from the professor solemnly, as serious as a believer on a pilgrimage.

Pushing open the door, he came out of the professor's office, passed the spacious living room, and came to the empty storage room.

Turn on the candlestick-shaped lighting, and the pale yellow light falls, creating a medieval castle-like atmosphere in the whole room.

He opened the glass display case and carefully placed the things the professor had given him inside.

"You put it the wrong way, Adam." A clear child's voice sounded in front of him.

To be precise, it was the phone in his pocket that was ringing.

"What do you know? This kind of exhibit can't be placed too upright, it will look ugly."

Adam retorted.

"Don't make excuses for yourself, Adam."

"Shut up Noah."

Amid the commotion, Adam finally got it right. He stood away happily, not noticing any other problems, and locked the display case.

"I clearly turned on the mute button, how could you still talk?"

"Because Adam's wisdom is nothing compared to Noah's."

"..."

Adam turned and walked out of the storage room, the door closed again, and the quarrel gradually faded away.

Only silence remained in the storage room.

The ship-shaped badge lay in the second glass display case, next to it was the nameplate of Moji Talent.

“Collection - Chapter of New Life”

"From the outside, this may be regarded as just an ordinary badge, but in fact, it is an invitation from the new world, an invitation written with life and blood by a celebrity a hundred years ago, and completed with the signature a hundred years later. You can see the silhouettes of God and Jesus in it, as well as the tragedy that lasts for generations. But if you are willing to step out of this era and expand your vision to the entire history of mankind, you may be able to recognize the full picture of it sailing in the torrent of time - Noah's Ark."

“Collector’s Comment: God does not love people… but Noah does.”

call! !

Let out a long sigh of relief!

The theater version chapter is too difficult to write!

I originally wrote it according to the outline, and expected it to be completed in about ten chapters, but when I was watching a movie in the middle, I suddenly got a lot of inspiration.

For example, interesting things that a professor might encounter when he goes to London.

For example, if Sonoko suddenly intervenes in the plot, it will cause a big trouble.

For example, should Chiyo suddenly grow bigger and have a solo with Jack the Ripper?

But in the end, I cut out all the nonsense because it was really redundant and would make the article too long.

An original plot of the professor was added as appropriate, which is the part about Prince William, to enrich the image of the professor and Jack the Ripper. I don't know how effective it is, and it seems that the response is mediocre.

Then I changed the case in the original work, and the identities of the murderer and the victim were reversed. I think this has a sense of fate.

After all, the core purpose of this theatrical chapter is different from the movie, and we don’t want to let this guy Sindorra live, so we changed it like this.

Because it is not a classic three-choice question but a proof question, some smart friends should have guessed the murderer in the middle.

But you probably didn’t guess the method, right?

This method is actually quite ridiculous, but the usual method does not fit the murderer's sense of ritual corresponding to the "Hongshu case", so Xiao Xiao Ke learned it.

I have to say that writing the chapters for the movie was really tiring. The storyboards were cut so quickly, and arranging the chapters was a big challenge.

I don't want to touch the theatrical version for at least half a month...

I'll have to think carefully about the next one.

I’ll stop complaining here. From the next chapter, I’ll return to my daily life and relax, and then the big plot will begin soon.

I wish you all a happy life.
