[Conan] I just want to be a magician quietly

Three days later, at the Beihua Municipal Hall, the "Cocoon" press conference was held.

It was still the same conference room as three days ago, but this time, Wakagi Ryo was wearing a professor's vest, and there was an inexplicably excited Kuroba Kaito sitting next to him.

Yes, that's right, he called Douzi here.

Under his suggestion, the game process of Noah's Ark changed from "as long as someone clears one of the dungeons, it is considered cleared" to "all 5 dungeons must be cleared to be considered cleared".

Therefore, he specially called Kaito Kidd to serve as the guiding NPC of one of the treasure hunt dungeons, otherwise without a professional player to lead the team, he was a little afraid that Conan and his team would be wiped out in the dungeon.

After all, the difficulty now...

"Hehehe, little detective, just wait."

Kuroba Kaito saw a familiar elementary school student on the big screen in the conference room, who was taking the "Cocoon" trial badge from the fat Dr. Agasa.

In the past, this little detective always chased him and made him run away, but today I will make you beg me to help you pass the level!

Wakagi Ryo also smiled at Kuroba Kaito, who had already put on his helmet impatiently and was lying in the spare equipment.

He used the reasons of "unprecedented virtual reality game" and "tricking Conan" to trick Touzi, who was on vacation. Well, due to some negligence, he did not tell Touzi the difficulty of this game.

How could the great Kaito Kid fail on the spot because the game was too difficult?

You said it right, the treasure chest man who was deliberately hidden in the deepest part of the sea and surrounded by fish.

---------------------

In the hall, Conan looked at Kudo Yusaku in the crowd. The Gugujingi novelist and Dr. Agasa were specially invited to the venue because they participated in the design of one of the copies of "Cocoon".

The father and son could not recognize each other in public, but just looked at each other across the crowd and turned away tacitly.

The question was about quantum communication learned in Hawaii.

Seeing this scene, Ryo Wakaki suddenly had an idea. When will a theater version be released with Hawaii as the background? Shinichi learned all his skills in Hawaii. If he pulled out a bunch of coaches from the Hawaiian technical school, could he form an organization that is more powerful than the winery?

Then, Yusaku Kudo was surrounded by a bunch of young ladies in sexy evening gowns, asking for autographs and taking photos.

Ryo Wakaki glanced at Douzi, who had already gone in to play the game, and then glanced at the big screen.

"If it's not too much trouble, please take a picture of this scene for me, thank you."

Noah's Ark:?

However, such a small request would naturally not be rejected. Noah's Ark directly transferred the photo to Ryo Wakaki's mobile phone, and Ryo Wakaki sent it to Yukiko anonymously.

Yukiko Kudo, who was not at the scene because she had to attend another event:? ? ! ! !

Good guy, is this having a dog outside without telling me?

Yusaku Kudo, you wait!

Not only did Kudo Yukiko call the editors-in-chief of all the major magazines in one go, but she also casually said during a subsequent program: "Oh, Yusaku's latest work will be published soon."

Next, you have to rush to finish the manuscript so hard that you can only sleep for 2 hours a day!

The scene turns back to the venue, and a good press conference was struck by lightning at the opening.

"Cocoon" chief designer Tadaki Kashimura (Yusaku Kudo's college friend and Hiroki Sawada's biological father) was found dead in the control room backstage.

Inspector Megure, who originally thought he could have a good vacation, had to rush to the scene with a bunch of his men.

Conan saw the death message of JTR left by Tadaki Kashimura on the keyboard, and immediately realized that the clues behind the incident should be in the London-themed copy of this "Cocoon". So Conan, who was not interested in the game at first, immediately rushed to the equipment in the middle of the stage with his short legs.

Seeing this, Sonoko immediately handed over her badge to Xiaolan, who was worried.

"Hey, but this..."

"It's not a big problem. Our Suzuki Group has invested in it. I want to let my dad buy two and bring them home to play slowly."

All the children entered the "Cocoon" game cabin, and the lights in the entire venue were suddenly cut off.

Noah's Ark took over the control of the entire venue.

[I am Noah's Ark]

Some commotion gradually broke out in the venue. Those who were invited to the scene were all powerful figures in Japan. They did not act rashly, and the security in the venue could still be controlled for the time being.

[The game cannot be stopped once it starts. This is a game about life. If all players are eliminated, they will be trapped in this virtual world forever. Only when someonePlayers, after successfully completing all the games, the previously eliminated people can be rescued. 】

"What is your purpose?"

Yusaku Kudo, who had already arrived at the control room, asked.

[This is a bet to make the entire Neon start over. Come on, the game begins! 】

Inside the game, a large stone platform appeared under the feet of a group of children. A long staircase appeared in the center of the stone platform. Every ten steps, a suspended light gate would appear on the side.

[Each gate represents a copy world with a different background. You need to pass a total of five copies to pass this game.

The first world: cross-country copy. 】

Before the group of children could react, the first light gate instantly enlarged and swallowed all the children directly.

Almost the first time he appeared in the copy, Conan felt a heat far greater than that of Neon. The air was full of dry breath, which made him feel thirsty instinctively.

The only people left around him were the Junior Detective Team, Xiaolan, and Hideki Moroboshi, who had met at the venue before, and his three followers.

Of course, the Hideki Moroboshi here is not the real person, but Hiroki Sawada.

"Why are there only ten people?"

Mitsuhiko couldn't help asking.

Conan raised his head and looked at the sky. There were 5 suspended light screens, and on the screens were other children who had also entered the game.

[This copy is a copy for 10 people, divided into 6 groups in total, and each person has 3 lives. 3 lives will be zeroed, which means death. Please unite and pass this off-road copy together. ]

Above the light screen, there is the number 60.

Conan looked at the cars in front of them. There were 5 cars in total, with no difference in appearance, and the car bodies were numbered 1-5. Each car can only carry 2 people.

Conan's expression was a little solemn. He realized at the first time that this could not be just a simple racing game.

Unfortunately, Noah's Ark did not give them more hints.

"It's just a matter of seeing which car reaches the finish line first. Watch me!"

Hideki Moroboshi's followers No. 1 and No. 2 volunteered to get on the car numbered 1.

"Boss Moroboshi, just wait and see. I have never lost in racing games."

Head No. 1 started the car with a confident smile. The engine of the car roared violently, raising a cloud of dust, and then rushed out.

"Wait..."

Conan was sprayed with dust and exhaust gas on his face, and he felt a little tired.

Looking up at the light screen in the sky, other teams also had more or less examples of leading by example. Two of the teams even had all their members go out together. For a while, the screen was full of dust raised by the wheels.

"Conan, let's get in the car quickly, otherwise we won't get the first place!"

Conan quickly reached out and grabbed Yuanta's collar.

"Read the rules of the game carefully, Yuantai! He said that we should unite and work together to clear this dungeon. If it was just a simple race like an ordinary racing game, how could he use words like unity and commonality?"

Yuantai touched his pointed forehead in confusion, just wanting to quickly clear the game and go home to eat the eel rice cooked by his mother.

"Then what should we do, Conan? If we just stand still at the starting point, it is impossible to clear the game."

Conan gritted his teeth and desperately looked for clues within his sight.

"Ahhhhhhh!!!"

Screams came one after another, and Conan looked up at the light screen above his head.

When the car drove onto a sandy ground, the sand under the wheels suddenly shook violently, and a sandworm with a diameter of about 5 meters suddenly jumped out of the ground. There were five or six rows of sharp teeth in its wide-open mouth. With a click, it bit the car and the people on it into white spots all over the screen.

Conan: !!! !!! !!!

What the hell is this?

Conan's eyes flashed, and the henchmen No. 1 and No. 2 who had just rushed out reappeared beside him screaming. Conan looked down and saw that one of the three horizontal lines on the back of their hands representing their health points was undoubtedly missing.

He looked at the screen in the sky again.

There was obviously more than one giant sandworm in the sand sea. The 10-man team that went out together encountered three sandworms at the same time when they drove to the sand, and the number of people was instantly reduced by more than half.

The drivers of the other two cars screamed and stepped on the accelerator, barely rushing out of the hunting range of the sandworms, but when they drove to the woodland behind the sand, they were picked up by a prehistoric dinosaur that came out of nowhere, and then had a chicken-flavored, crunchy bite.

So far, all the teams' first attempts were wiped out.

Including their henchmen No. 1 and No. 2,More than 30 players lost their first life.

The situation is extremely grim.

Even the usually calm and composed Ai Huihara showed a look of shock and disbelief on her face.

"It's impossible to clear this map!"

At this time, Ryo Wakagi, who was in the lounge and watching the projection of Noah's Ark, looked very satisfied as he saw the emotional value on the panel filling up again.

Where can I find the opportunity to grab so many leeks at once?

Noah's Ark is really a good comrade!

PS: The Phantom of Baker Street is my favorite theatrical version, so I may write about all 5 copies. This theatrical version will be longer (✪ω✪)
