I, Minami Kotori, Son of the Sun

"Chairman Sindora, this is Inspector Megure of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department." Yusaku Kudo came to the control room with a group of detectives.

"Metropolitan Police Department? What do the police want from me?" Sindora snorted coldly and glanced at the uninvited guest.

"Please stop this game immediately." Officer Megure straightened his hat, "A murder has occurred in the venue..."

"Stop? That's ridiculous. Do you know how many distinguished guests are here? I'm sorry I can't obey your order."

Just as the two teams were about to have an argument, the lights dimmed.

"What's going on?" Sindora asked the person who was operating the program.

[My name is Noah's Ark. This game, called Cocoon, has been taken over by me.]

In the hall, a young man's voice was heard.

"Noah's Ark?" Sindorah's eyes shone, and she thought uneasily, "What on earth do you want to do, Hiroki?"

[The game can no longer be stopped, and no player can voluntarily log out of the game! ]

"Noah's Ark, what is that?" asked Officer Megure.

"As I remember, it only takes one year for artificial intelligence to complete what takes humans five years to develop, right, Director Sindra?" Kudo Yusaku looked at the old man with an ugly face and had some immature guesses in his mind.

"Yes, that was five years ago. Hiroki, whom I loved like my own son, completed it all by himself." Sindorah said in a deep voice, "So, now I am the same age as Hiroki."

"What is your purpose? Noah's Ark!" Kudo Yusaku took the microphone and asked.

[My goal? To make Japan a country again]

Just like a cocoon, it allows the dirty next generation, who bear the future of Japan, to break out of the cocoon and be reborn.

. . .

The boys and girls opened their eyes, and with a burst of light, they found themselves in a circular hall.

50 people, all gathered here.

When Xiaoniao saw Conan and was about to go up to meet him, he was patted on the shoulder instead.

"Little Bird, are you here too?"

"This voice...Sister Lan?" Xiaoniao was stunned, turned around and found Xiaolan with a beautiful smile.

"Why, why are you in there?" The bird looked heartbroken.

"Eh? No, I can't?" Xiaolan was a little hurt. "I, I just came to look after Conan."

"Sister Lan?!" Conan also ran over when he heard the voice, with the same heartbroken expression.

"Why are you all like this? No matter how stupid I am, I won't hold you back!" When Xiaolan saw Conan doing that, she was unhappy.

"That's not the problem at all. This is..."

It's very dangerous here. According to Bai Li, this is not a simple game. You can die!

Sister Kotori and Conan are tasked with finding the criminal and saving these children at the same time. But now, how come Ran has been involved before the rescue even begins?

“You guys are here too!”

"Wait, this voice..." Conan's eyes flashed, he turned his head suddenly and found the lingering four people.

"Haibara! You bastard..." Conan jumped over and whispered softly, "Didn't I tell you to keep an eye on them?"

Huiyuan Ai shrugged: "What can I do? These kids are very powerful. They just got the medal."

"Hey, how did you get the medal?" At the same time, the bird asked curiously.

You know, in order to get this thing, she was forced to sell her beauty.

How did these kids do it?

"Kamen Rider Black's top-tier gold collector's card! We each got one, and we traded it with those kids. We also got one for Haibara-san."

"Really, that's amazing." The bird twitched her lips. If she had known this would happen, she would have secretly transformed and fooled the children.

How could I have an affair with Maki? My heart is still pounding as a result.

"Now that you're here, just listen to me. Got it?"

"Conan, this is a video game. It's good that we don't put pressure on you. Why are you singing a solo?" Yuan Tai said unconvinced.

The children nodded in agreement.

Apparently, they were stuck with the stereotype that Conan video games have zero talent.

"This is not an ordinary game..." Conan twitched his lips. Although his fingers were not very flexible, he could use more than just his fingers.

"Touch, hearing, smell...all the senses you can think of are no different from the real world, but the thought of being controlled by a computer like that makes my back chilled." Haibara Ai said coldly.

When Hideki Moroboshi heard this, he looked over here.

[Okay, nice to meet you, kids, the game is about to begin! ]

The young man's voice sounded, and the stone doors of the five passages opened, and the road extended to the other side of the light.

[My name is Noah's Ark, please give me your advice]

"Please give me your advice!" The children answered in unison with a smile, completely unaware of the seriousness of the matter.

[Now, I will play the promotional clips of the five stages, but please note that this is not just a video game, this is a game that concerns your life. ]

"Life..." Xiaoniao and Conan's eyes narrowed. As Bai Li said, this game was not easy.

[If everyone is out, you won’t be able to return to the real world]

[Therefore, you have to play seriously. As long as one person reaches the finish line, you win. Do you understand? ]

[And the children who were eliminated before that can also wake up and return to the real world. This is the rule I set. Do you understand? ]

[In order to prevent the restless parents outside from messing around, I will kindly remind you that if anyone tries to open the cocoon without permission, I will release high voltage electricity to kill you and your parents together.]

[This is a game that will allow Japan to come back]

"What does this mean?" asked Kudo Yusaku.

[Although you can't hear the sound of the real world, someone outside asked, so I will answer it]

[Seeing you like this, the children of dirty politicians will definitely become dirty politicians, and the children of doctors who only think about making money will only become doctors who only think about making money. Such a future is really hopeless.]

[Therefore, if you want Japan to recover, you must clear up this dirty relationship once and for all. ]

The little bird fell silent after hearing this. The starting point of Noah's Ark was obviously good, but she did not agree with using the lives of children as bargaining chips.

"Never mind. Perhaps this is the only solution." She shook her head. "I hope the children can grow up."

Just like Honoka said, sometimes, you can't make people understand without using your fists.

And she, no matter what, will be the one who reaches the end, because she once swore that no one would die in front of her.

[Okay, the kids can’t wait any longer, let’s start the game! ]
