Conan's other me

Chapter 126 The Devil's Mist City in the Dead Realm ([-])

"Ladies and gentlemen, please pay attention to the stage."

While Fengyuan was explaining to Conan, the host walked up to the podium beside him and said to everyone in the venue.

The originally noisy venue gradually quieted down.

"Mr. Yusaku Kudo, who is currently in charge of providing the stage ideas for the Cocoon game, has returned from the United States!"

Amid the women's exclamation and everyone's applause, Fengyuan looked over there and saw Kudo Yusaku walking up slowly.

After rescuing Miyano Akemi, he has seen Kudo Yukiko, but he has not seen Kudo Yusaku again.After not seeing him for a long time, the emotion born in Kudo Shinichi's memory was about to move again, which made him feel admiration for a moment.

But this time he didn't try to suppress the emotion.

Yusaku Kudo was looking at himself.

The two looked at each other for only a few moments, but they seemed to have completed a lot of communication. Yusaku Kudo nodded slightly at him, then looked at Conan, and the same was true between Yusaku Kudo and Conan.

The emotions in the memory came and went quickly, and with the disconnection of the communication line of sight, Fengyuan also returned to normal.

"resembles."

Haibara Ai on the side looked at Yusaku Kudo on the stage for a while, and Fuedahara for a while.The elementary school students ran to the table next to them to eat snacks and drink juice. Xiaolan and Yuanzi were chatting on the other side, and Uncle Mao Li was drinking drunkenly at the side. There were only three of them here.

Feng Yuan looked at Hui Yuanai.

"I mean, you and he look alike."

Hui Yuanai said that because of her sister, she is also very grateful to Kudo Yusaku. To be precise, her sister was able to hide smoothly after being rescued, mainly relying on Kudo Yusaku.Although Kudo is only a child now, and the appearance is quite different, but I always feel that the eyebrows and temperament of the two are somewhat similar...

"Really? I think there are still some differences..."

Even the young Kudo Yusaku and Kudo Shinichi can be distinguished at a glance, not to mention that the current Kudo Yusaku still has a mustache.

Haibara turned his eyes back for a month and a half, and was about to teach Fengyuan a lesson when he noticed Dr. Ali walking over.

"Oh, I'm finally back."

Conan, who was a little distracted just now, also came back to his senses, "Doctor, you have been hiding it from me so hard..."

Dr. A Li was stunned for a moment, feeling that Conan's resentment seemed a bit heavy, so he said cautiously:

"Because the press conference has to be brought forward suddenly, so I'm a bit busy, and you and Conan have been staying with Xiaolan all the time, so it's not easy for us to call you."

"Doctor, what do you do?"

"The mechanical structure of the cocoon and the final stage of the program, by the way, Xiao Sora and I also participated in the first stage of the test together."

"Thank you, I just found out about this."

"..."

Feng Yuan turned his head in embarrassment, and Hai Yuan Ai was watching the play with interest.

"Where's my mother?" Conan also knew that he had been out with Uncle Maori these days, and it was really difficult for them to contact him, so he just vented his depression. Seeing the embarrassment on the field, Conan directly changed the subject.

"She is going to participate in the class reunion." Dr. A Li breathed a sigh of relief, then glanced at the badges on Conan, Fengyuan, and Huiyuan, "You have already worn the badges for participating in the game, I dare say you will be fascinated on it..."

"But didn't Fengyuan already know?"

"I don't know." Fengyuan said, "The first round of testing is just a very simple game, not the five games to be released today."

"That's right. Sora just helped Yuzuo and me choose a few game manufacturers to participate in the game design. I didn't tell him the specific game process...I'm just waiting to give you a surprise..."

"Although it's still a secret," Dr. Ari moved closer to Fengyuan and Conan and whispered, Haibara also moved closer, "One of the games is set in London at the end of the nineteenth century!"

"London 100 years ago?" Conan froze for a moment and then complained, "Dad hasn't changed at all, he still likes that era so much."

"You father and son are all the same..."

Yusaku Kudo on the podium finished his speech with a few short sentences, and then was surrounded by women of all ages, starting his main task today - signing.

But he had just started signing. While Fengyuan and others were talking, the lights on the scene were suddenly turned off, and then the spotlight was turned on on the stage in front, and a capsule-like machine spun up from under the floor.

The host began to introduce this true next-generation game console.

Although Fengyuan doesn't know Kexue very well, this is similar to foot strengthening shoes, and it is done by electricity.

After listening to a few sentences, the host began to say some clichés that they were not interested in, and Fengyuan and others went with the doctor to meet Ayumi and others over there.

Then they regretted it a little.

"Then, in order to pass the waiting time, I'll come up with a riddle!" Dr. A Li began to be a riddle person when they met.

"what!?"

"It's about to start again." Mitsuhiko whispered to Genta and Ayumi, "The doctor's riddle is cold and boring."

"Want to slip?"

"He must have worked hard to figure it out," Ayumi said, "Just listen to what he says."

"Ahem." Dr. A Li cleared his throat, "Mr. A of this video game company couldn't resist the temptation at work, so he fell in love with the cocoon game! The chairman who saw this situation did something to Mr. A." What's up?

One, he was praised because he reached the last level; two, he was fired because he was playing during work hours; "

"Three, continue to let him sleep!" Ayumi said immediately.

"why?"

"Because the cocoon looks a lot like a cradle!"

"wrong."

"Second, expulsion." Feng Yuan said casually.

"Eh?" Dr. Ali was a little surprised, and the elementary school students were also a little surprised, because Fengyuan usually doesn't get involved very much, and even Conan won't get involved so early.

"Ah! Judging by the doctor's expression, he must be right!"

"No! You have to tell the reason to be right!"

"Hey, it's better not to..." Conan was speechless.

"It's common sense."

Feng Yuan said solemnly, "How can there be such a good chairman in the world who would do things like One and Three."

"Yes!" The primary school students suddenly realized.

"No!" Dr. Ali turned to Huiyuan Ai with a black line on her head, "Xiao Ai, you must know why, please explain it to me?"

"No," Huiyuan Ai refused, folded his hands on his chest and turned around in a cold gesture, "I don't wear much today."

Dr. Ari looked at Conan asking for help.

"...Because cocoons are silkworm cocoons," Conan had no choice but to bite the bullet and said, "Silkworms spin silk and make cocoons. The pronunciation of silkworm and expulsion is similar, so...it means expulsion."

"..."

"I'm going to get a hot drink..."

"Ah, wait for me!"

"I am coming too!"

Under the doctor's somewhat puzzled gaze, Genta, Ayumi and Mitsuhiko ran away to get hot drinks.

Feng Yuan took off his coat and handed it to Hui Yuanai, and then asked, "Would you like a hot drink?"

"Yes." Hui Yuanai was not polite, but directly took Feng Yuan's coat, "Mr. Detective is really considerate..."

"I saw that you didn't wear much when you went out. I specially wore two coats."

"..." Only then did Huiyuan Ai notice that Fengyuan was wearing another coat.

The joke time was over, and after the game director Tadabin Kashimura also came out and said a few words, the press conference officially began.

Xiaolan and Yuanzi led the way, followed by the young detective team. They lined up in a row and walked towards the cocoon after passing the testing equipment.

Fengyuan sat between Haibara Ai and Conan, although it was not the first time he sat in the capsule, he still found it rather novel.

"50 people, all boarding is complete." The electronically synthesized voice came from above the venue, "The brain wave transmission device, the installation is complete..."

The next step is a large order of instructions, and the instruction cocoon is also started step by step.

"Link start."

Games start.

Feeling like waking up from a deep sleep, Fengbara opened his eyes again.

In front of a seemingly endless field, the chosen children are standing together under a single spotlight.This is different from the previous test, but Hui Yuanai and others are also by his side.

"It's amazing!" Mitsuhiko said, "Although we are in a hypnotic state now, we don't feel anything!"

Like him, the others moved the body that existed in the game curiously.

"It's like a dream!" Ayumi said, "You can still walk around at will, so free!"

"On the contrary, let alone freedom, the senses of vision, hearing, smell, taste, and touch have all been controlled by the computer." The one who said the strange words was obviously Hui Yuanai.

"Don't worry," Feng Yuan comforted solemnly, "Maybe we are also like this in reality?"

"..." Hui Yuanai rolled his eyes at him angrily.

The primary school students were a little puzzled, and even Xiaolan and Yuanzi were a little speechless.Conan suddenly remembered a sentence Fengyuan said to him not long after the split.

…like your life is just a play on the screen, and everyone around you is just actors.And you, who know nothing about it, think that your life is just someone else's entertainment...

How is that possible!
At this time, a little boy's voice seemed to suddenly come from the endless void, attracting everyone's attention.

"Okay, friends who are experiencing Cocoon for the first time, the game has begun."

Its voice fell, and five stone gates and gravel paths with no end appeared on the field.

"Yeah!" the children cheered.

"My name is Noah's Ark, please give me your advice."

"Please advise!"

"Now I will play the promotional video of five stages. Please choose the world you want to play from among them. However, there is one thing to pay attention to."

"This is not a simple game, this is a game that concerns your lives." Noah's Ark continued.

"Eh?"

Everyone on the field was stunned for a moment.

"If everyone is out, you will not be able to return to the real world. Therefore, you have to play the game seriously. As long as one person reaches the finish line, you will win, and all the children who were out before then will be able to wake up Come here, back to the real world.

This is the rule of the game I decided.Do you understand?

When everyone is out, I will release special electromagnetic waves to destroy your brains.In other words, this is a victory or defeat with your lives as the bet.

Alright, so... let's move on. "

The people at the scene looked at each other, but Noah's Ark did not give them time to buffer their emotions, but immediately began to play a video introducing the five stages.

The first four Fengyuan are not interested. In simple terms, the first world is Pirate Warriors; the second world is Forza: Horizon; the third world is the ancient Roman Colosseum; the fourth world is Tomb Raider or Raiders of the Lost Ark.

"Then, the fifth one is London in the old days, where everyone will experience thrilling and suspenseful stories."

Noah's Ark finally introduced, and then stopped talking.

The children on the court were a little downcast, and Xiao Lan, one of the only two older children, comforted them loudly: "Everyone, cheer up! You can't admit defeat before deciding the outcome!"

"Yes! That's right!" Suzuki Sonoko echoed.

"As long as there is only one person who can reach the finish line!" Conan also chimed in.

Hui Yuanai cast a questioning look at Feng Yuan, Feng Yuan shook his head lightly.

Although he had already communicated with Noah's Ark, he didn't think there would be any danger, but he promised Noah's Ark not to speak out.In fact, with the control of Noah's Ark, he probably couldn't even hint at it, let alone say it.

"Everyone, let's start choosing the stage where we can survive!" Xiaolan continued.

To Sonoko's surprise, the first person to respond was actually the very uneducated Zhu Xingxiu, which made her mutter under her breath.

"Tch, weird brat." Yuanzi whispered, then turned to Xiaolan, "Hey, Xiaolan, let's go to the arena? Teach them hard with your karate!"

"Eh? I can't do it..."

"It's not necessarily the same in the game, is it?" Feng Yuan said, "The introduction just now said that players are looking for powerful weapons and armor."

"So, your own combat effectiveness may not be the key." Mitsuhiko said.

"Yeah! It's like the computer game that the doctor made before..."

"It's called Diablo, Genta, and it wasn't made by a doctor..."

"That…"

"Let's go to London." Conan made a decision, "Uncle Kudo and Dr. Ari have participated in the script production of this game, and there may be additional clues in it."

And he felt that both he and Fengyuan should have a good understanding of the background of this world, and it would be easy to pass the level.

Everyone agreed, and they came to the entrance of the London game together and walked in.

Behind them, Zhu Xingxiushu and others also followed.

The game officially begins.
