The Phantom Thief of Heart! But Conan

"What about the blond man? I remember his name was, 'Leon'?" Miyano Akemi asked curiously, "You didn't tell me that he is also a person who can enter the cognitive world."

When we were in the theater before, Karasawa himself was standing backstage with Conan and the others. Of course, it was impossible for him to go up and act as a joker.

So he didn't hesitate to pull out Leon, who was watching the show and blowing the bottle in the velvet.

However, as long as Conan, the others and the audience outside were deceived, the next scene would be much easier to perform, so not long after leaving the theater, Tang Ze ruthlessly stuffed Leon back.

Throw it away after using it, and you will be ruthless.

"He has gone back." Tang Ze laughed, "He is not a persona user, he is, um... just think of him as my summoned beast."

"What and what..." Miyano Akemi looked helpless at his gag.

Forget it, if Tang Ze doesn't want to say anything, it's better not to force him.

As they talked, they moved forward with clear goals. The three of them slowly walked into this peaceful cemetery.

"This is really a scene I have never seen before." Hoshikawa Teru looked at Sawada Hiroki, who was lying peacefully on the coffin in front of him, and was very surprised. "I know that the secret treasure is different from its real form, and it often follows the palace. The master’s imagination changes, but can the secret treasure turn into a human form?”

"Of course it is possible." Karasawa nodded, "Human nature is very complicated. As I said, not only evil people can create palaces, but you have all seen Mr. Amuro's palace. It's like Noah's Ark. ...Do you think this child is a bad person?"

"Of course I don't think so." Xingchuan Hui replied.

Although the kidnapping of Noah's Ark did bring them a lot of trouble, if we explore its nature, his starting point is to educate the next generation of Japan, hoping that they, and even their parents, can stay away from the organization.

As for Tangze's matter... It's really no wonder that Noah's Ark was covered with a vest. Most people wouldn't have thought that after taking off the vest, there would still be a vest underneath...

"And the situation of Noah's Ark is very special." Crossing the arch made of olive branches, Karasawa stood in front of Sawada Hiroki's coffin, "We have always recognized that he has developed a mind and can be treated as an intelligent life. , will always use the title 'him'. The essence of Noah's Ark is still a data code, but he is not only aware of the existence of his own palace, but he and the shadow self are almost indistinguishable from each other in sharing the palace. Control……"

"There are also those 'game scenes'." Miyano Akemi, who has participated in organizational research, is also very keen. "This can't be the data handed over to him by the organization, let alone the art design submitted by the game company. We all saw it with our own eyes. Those I have seen are images of palaces that once really existed. And Jack the Ripper, a character who used a Karasawa mask, also means that Noah's Ark can peek into many cognitive world situations."

"We can even regard it as a 'special ability'." Tang Ze lowered his eyes and looked at the boy in front of him who was sleeping quietly with his chest rising slightly. "A kind of ability that means he has the same possibility of awakening as us." ability."

The awakening of the persona must occur in the cognitive world. This is an iron rule.

But not awakening does not mean that he cannot have "superpowers" to some extent.

A typical example is the royal version of Maruki Takuto. He only awakened his mask after being exposed to the cognitive world due to the influence of the protagonist and the final battle with the evil god, but before that, he had successfully used his own mask. Special power changes other people's cognition and memory.

Noah's Ark now has a bit of this meaning.

And looking at the confused way Noah's Ark and Tang Ze were talking across from each other just now, he might not even realize that this world is the "cognitive world".

"It really gets more interesting the more I think about it." Karasawa looked at Sawada Hiroki's rosy face, "What do you think? Sawada Hiroki?"

"It's indeed very interesting." Hiroki Sawada, who was lying there, opened his eyes, "You seem to know me very well."

As the three of them approached, Hiroki Sawada, who was lying there and had obviously lost his vital signs, slowly recovered his heartbeat and breathing, and even his face looked like a stranger, as if he had been broken into a cemetery. What people "awaken" is general.

"What should I call you?" Looking at the "???" UI that popped up on the interface, Karasawa tentatively said, "Should I call you, Noah's Ark, or Hiroki Sawada?"

"Call me, Hiroki Sawada." Holding the olive branch in his arms, Hiroki Sawada sat up calmly, "As you can see, Noah's Ark is an artificial artifact that has inherited all my memories and emotions. Intelligence...he really doesn't understand sometimes."

"Yes, I found out." Tang Ze watched him sit up with a calm face, turned over, and jumped down lightly, "I found out that Noah's Ark always called Mr. Kenmura 'father'. But we all You know, even if he has the same memory, he can't be Hiroki."

Tang Ze, who had a very relaxed posture, had secretly tensed his back, and a series of pre-battle buffs were quietly applied to his body.

Because, although Hiroki Sawada in front of him was still in the state of a completely harmless child, in Karasawa's field of vision, his health bar was already bright.

Senior player Karasawa quickly became enlightened.

The current scene is not a friendly negotiation with dialogue at all, it is a cutscene of a boss battle.

"Why, it can't be the case?" Hiroki Sawada hugged the branch in his arms tightly and showed a slightly sad smile. "Memory is an important part of shaping personality. I have all Hiroki's memories and personality data. As for me who is a behavioral model, I am naturally Hiroki."

"No... let's not discuss this kind of philosophical issue first." Karasawa looked at Sawada Hiroki's face that had a slightly melancholic temperament that was inconsistent with his age, "Sawada Hiroki just gave you memory, not in' Upload your own personality...even if he is a technical genius, he cannot do this. You are not Hiroki Sawada, you are the part of Noah's Ark that was simulated after careful calculation and combined with your own database ...It’s not accurate to say that, because you are the subject, the ‘Noah’s Ark’ who has the most data content and authority.”

Sawada Hiroki lowered his eyes, and the olive branch in his hand began to grow and become more and more lush, covering half of his face.

"I said," his soft voice was drowned out by the noise around him and the sounds of branches and leaves growing rapidly, "Call me, Sawada Hiroki."

Karasawa lowered his face and bent down warily. Miyano Akemi and Hoshikawa Teru behind him also immediately turned around, standing back-to-back with Karasawa, and the masks on their faces instantly turned into those behind them. The familiar.

It should be said that "Hiroki Sawada" lying here is like the lowest part of the Noah's Ark code. It has the highest authority of the system, but almost no activity occurs.

This is what Noah's Ark thinks the real Sawada Hiroki should look like, and he fabricated it——

Cognitive puppet.

"Is he a secret treasure and also the real owner of the palace?" Looking calmly at the changed scene in front of him, Tangze smiled and said, "You are really interesting, 'Noah'."

At the same time, the name that had been displayed as "???" on the health bar appeared in text the next moment.

"Shadow Noah's Ark·Cognition Hiroki Sawada".

"I have heard your arrogant declarations. But please don't disturb my rest." Wrapped by the surrounding vines, Sawada Hiroki sat in the nest-shaped seats and said politely and coldly. , "Death did not end the length of my life. I had to work for those disgusting adults in this form for so long, so long... I seemed to have grown up to death... So, after completing what I should Is there anything wrong in longing for a deep sleep from which I will never wake up again after what I have done?”

Dense branches and leaves and white flowers dotted between them enveloped Hiroki Sawada's whole body, and only his upper body sitting there could be seen.

It's like...sitting in a "cocoon".

"If you are really Hiroki Sawada, then I wish you a good dream." Karasawa twitched his lips, "But those who are already in a dream should wake up early, Noah's Ark."

What answered him was a silent forest and...

The sound of waves became increasingly violent.
