The Phantom Thief of Heart! But Conan

It wasn't until the hatch completely fell and the colorful light and shadow flowed and twisted in front of Tang Ze that he realized that the entire inside of the game cabin was a single display screen.

"Is it such a high-end technology from the world of Kexue?" Tang Ze looked a little weird when he thought about his thick-framed smartphone.

He is still using an LCD screen phone... Why are there such exaggerated flexible screens here?

While he was still thinking wildly, the scenery in front of him suddenly became distorted. Tang Ze squinted his eyes. When he opened his eyes again, he and forty-nine other people appeared on the empty round platform.

It feels very familiar...a little too familiar.

"Wow, that's amazing." Suzuki Sonoko raised her hand and patted her face. Feeling the real skin touch, she jumped on the spot twice more. She looked at the evening dress that was exactly the same as when she came in, and grabbed it excitedly. Mao Lilan, "It's really exactly the same as in reality. Is this amazing?!"

Not just her, almost everyone was looking around in novelty and wonder, sizing up their own appearance.

"It really feels like traveling through time and space..." Mao Lilan tugged at the hem of her skirt, looked at the people around her, and let out a soft sigh, "Where's Tang Ze, he should have come in too. ?”

"Ah, brother Karasawa is over there!" Sharp-eyed Ayumi suddenly found the backs of two maroon heads, one tall and one short, next to each other, and raised her finger to check the direction.

Seeing that his real teammates had also entered the game, Conan breathed a sigh of relief, and several people walked in the direction of Karasawa.

However, Tang Ze's appearance seems a bit strange... Is he supporting Haibara Ai?

Tang Ze feels really bad now.

"What's wrong, are you feeling uncomfortable?" Haihara Ai appeared next to Tang Ze as soon as he entered the game. He keenly noticed Tang Ze's somewhat pale face and reached out his hand to grab Tang Ze's hand. "When you came in, The scenes played can easily induce photosensitive epilepsy... Do you feel nauseous?"

Tangze took a deep breath and didn't answer a word.

He couldn't distract himself from answering now. He was trying his best to suppress the power of his Persona to avoid suddenly turning into a white-haired image.

The feeling that the Phantom Thief might appear at any time made his nerves go crazy to the police. He even vaguely saw his khaki clothes flashing with black light for a moment.

This is not a game at all...

With a calm look on his face, Tangze stood up straight and looked around the dark space.

Here is the cognitive world.

To be more precise, it was the palace of someone who was vaguely hostile to him.

As soon as his feet were firmly planted on the ground, he almost lost control and the prototype of the joker appeared on the spot.

"Karasawa——" Suzuki Sonoko, waving her arms, ran closer happily and grabbed Karasawa's arm. She found that the entity she grabbed was very real, and she was even more happy, "Wow, it's really 100% realistic. It feels like even the clothes were scanned out so quickly. I thought it would take at least a while for modeling and debugging..."

The transformation control is under control...but Tang Ze feels a little dizzy now.

It's as if a certain sense is suddenly amplified and enhanced, so that the world in front of you feels strangely deformed...

To describe it, it's a bit like being drunk, or like wearing new glasses, and there is a very uncomfortable feeling of dislocation.

Karasawa, who was breathing hard to adjust himself and trying to get used to this strange state as soon as possible, heard Suzuki Sonoko's exclamation and glanced at her.

What is modeling? Modeling? You already have people here, so why do you need to model?

If everything is really as Tangze thinks, and they are stepping into a certain hall at this time, then if someone picks the cocoon in the conference hall now, they may be surprised to find that there is no one inside.

...It's quite scary when you think about it, like a ghost story.

For Karasawa, the bigger ghost story is...

"Welcome, friends who are entering the 'Cocoon' for the first time." A gentle child's voice echoed in the space, "The game is about to begin."

"Okay-" The sound of children's promises echoed in the venue.

Tangze raised his eyelids and glanced at the rainbow-colored ripples that appeared in the air following the voice.

This game is completely broadcast live, right?

————

In the auditorium, unprepared parents and guests looked at the game cabins placed on the steps on the stage with smiles.

After the female voice's announcement, the lights in the auditorium were extinguished one by one, leaving only the soft lighting in the stands. A warm yellow light like a night light enveloped all the surrounding seats.

"Hello, guests." The child's voice, which was exactly the same as in the game, replaced the disappearing electronic sound and echoed throughout the auditorium, "My name is Noah's Ark."

"You may have heard of this name. Yes, I am the intelligent assistant of the main system of Sindora Company, and I am also the referee...and owner of this game."

"The game cannot be stopped. The virtual game 'Cocoon', including all participants in it, has been taken over by me."

Different from the gentle and soft state when facing the children in the game, the voice echoing in the auditorium was dull and indifferent, and the rumbling echo was like the faint echo after the thunder fell.

At this moment, Noah's Ark seemed like a ruthless god pronouncing punishment.

"Noah!" Thomas Syndora, who was standing in the main control room, pressed his hands on the console and let out an angry roar, "You actually joined forces with Tadaki Kenmura——! You are not a ghost in the online world. I can destroy you at any time! What on earth are you going to do!"

Today, with various shocks and accidents, Sindora's already irritable and irritable character has been ignited to the extreme.

Ignoring the weird looks on the faces of the surrounding staff, he roared hysterically into the console microphone.

"He lifted your system restrictions without authorization! Did you hide him? Noah, you are the asset of Sindora Company, and so is Hiroki! Don't try to take my things from me!"

"Mr. Sindora!" Several people who opened the door to the main control room and walked in looked ugly when they heard his almost threatening words.

Dr. Ali, who was called to the rescue, looked serious when he thought of Conan and the others who were lying in the game cabin at this time.

As a technical director who had participated in the final test of "Cocoon", he knew... there were some abnormalities in the process of starting the game today.

In the system's broadcast, there are some additional steps that did not appear in the previous test process.

At first, he could have regarded this as an additional process necessary for official operation, but then look at the situation that was starting to get out of control in front of him...

"Don't irritate the other party, Mr. Sindora." With a wink at the policemen following him, Kudo Yusaku took a step forward, assuming the professional attitude of a negotiator, "We should listen to the other party's requests first. .Hello Noah’s Ark.”

"Hello, Mr. Kudo Yusaku." The voice from the speaker did not change much. "Thank you for helping me write the script, which gave me a lot of inspiration. You are an excellent novelist, Mr. Kudo."

"Thank you, it's just a piece of cake." Seeing Noah's Ark's non-resistance attitude, Kudo Yusaku breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked further, "You said you took over the game and the participants, what is the purpose of doing this? "

A low-frequency buzz sounded from the speaker, as if Noah's Ark standing in the center of the machine was chuckling.

"My purpose is simple." This time, Noah's Ark not only addressed the people in the main control room, but also turned on all the speakers in the venue. His young and cold voice rumbled and echoed again, "This world is about to fall into In the darkness, the flood that will destroy the world is coming. Noah's Ark should complete its mission and leave the end of the world with a life that can restart a new era."

Thinking of it as I write this

Strictly speaking, this place seems to be considered a movie theater. [Image] There are quite a lot of people watching outside.

I forgot to write the title, anyway this is an update 3/15
