Conan’s Corpse Picker

Chapter 1930 1930 [It’s hard to be a detective]

 Although intuition tells Curacao that exiting now is the best way. But thinking about the 10 achievements filled with blood and tears just now, she couldn't press the quit button no matter what.

Sunk costs dragged her by the hand, allowing her to start exploring this scary game full of unknowns.

I have to say that although some of the design of this game makes Curacao suspect that the designer was brainwashed by Uzo, its technical support is actually strong enough, and the game feels good. Putting aside those annoying elements, it is indeed A good and engaging game.

Curacao manipulated the character to explore freely in the game for a while. As her vigilance gradually lowered, she couldn't help but start to advance the plot.

 —The character is then attacked from behind by a masked criminal.

The battle interface popped up on the screen. Curacao skillfully touched the buttons and was about to kill this little boss.

But before she started, she suddenly remembered something.

 …She’s not here to let the detective get beaten and experience a fancy way of death… So should she be beaten or not?

 While hesitating, her health bar bottomed out.

Curacao came back to his senses: "..." Wait, why did the blood fall so fast? If I remember correctly, this masked man only hit me twice. Why was there only **** skin left?

Just when I felt something was wrong, as the last bit of blood skin disappeared, the battle session ended, and the game returned to the plot.

　　With her defeat, the chestnut-haired female high school student was forced to the wall by the masked man. The final scene shows the masked man holding a baseball bat high, and then the scene goes black - presumably as the character closes his eyes in fear.

Curacao then closed his eyes and exhaled: "..." Go to hell, fake detective.

The only regret is that this high school girl looks completely different from the detective she really wants to beat.

But forget it, I just wanted to take a breath and die this time to end it.

There was a clanging sound on the screen, and the sound of beatings was heard.

Curaçao thought that the character would die next, and then the game would be returned to the cover. She could use this result to reconcile with herself—and then happily burn the broken game and never open it again.

The plan was well planned, but the next moment, the scary sound effects changed and turned into light and romantic light music - the music was so sweet that it seemed as if a car of roses would pour out of the screen in the next second and drown her.

  Curacao: "?"

 She raised her eyes quickly and looked at the screen alertly.

 Then he saw an additional figure between "himself" and the masked man.

—Jiang Xia barged in from nowhere, knocked the masked man over with two sticks, and kicked him out of the screen.

Then the detective turned around, and the screen in front of Curacao moved, and two options popped up.

  [A. Lean into his arms fearfully]

  [B. “Huh, I don’t need your help.”]

 Curaçao: “…?”

 There is no C? Fight him in a **** battle, and then kick him off the screen.

Unfortunately, there are only two options, so Chapo chose the general: "Although the tone is a bit disgusting, let's choose B first."

The character moved obediently. The girl with brown hair snorted, raised her head proudly, turned around and walked out. Then a hand suddenly crossed in front of her, supporting it on the wall, blocking her way - a standard wall-dong appeared.

“…” Curaçao shouted crazily with a bad premonition. She stared at the screen, her fingers trembling for a moment, trying not to punch through the screen.

At this moment, on the screen, there was another hand holding her shoulder: Jiang Xia pushed her against the wall with a bang.

Then the face belonging to Uzo was enlarged on the screen without warning, with a heart-shaped soft light. At this time, a line of words flashed under the screen, which seemed to be his line: [But I am worried about you—promise me not to solve cases by myself again. ]

　　　…”

Curacao was dumbfounded, feeling as if a thunderbolt struck from the sky, roasting her whole body to a crisp on the inside and leaving goosebumps all over the floor.

She came to her senses like a ghost, and then when the female high school student nodded shyly, she frantically hit the escape button. When the handle almost caught fire due to friction, she finally managed to return to the starting point.

"...As long as I beat that masked man to death, I won't have to go through the horrific plot that follows." Curacao burst out with a fighting spirit that was several times more tyrannical than when he beat the "detective" just now, "It's just a masked man." Face monster, if I had told you, I would have beaten him to death!"

 …

Despite the ridiculously low margin for error, Curacao got through it on the first try, driven by some iron will.

　　The masked man was kicked into the corner by her, clutching his stomach, he hurriedly ran away.

 After the cutscene ended, Curacao immediately asked the character to look around.

 After confirming that there was no detective around, and there were no weird options, she breathed a sigh of relief, feeling as if she had escaped from hell.

But before he could even breathe a sigh of relief, there was a sudden commotion outside.

 Curacao was startled and hesitated for a moment. After all, he was still a little curious about this **** game. She controlled the character and carefully walked over to take a look.

When they reached the corner of the stairs, they saw Jiang Xia covering her arms and leaning on the railing. Next to her was a crying female classmate. It seemed that the masked man wanted to hurt the classmates with a knife when he escaped, but the righteous detective bravely saved the classmate. , faced the blade and was unfortunately injured.

Curaçao looked at the injured detective, and a bad premonition appeared again.

She turned and left, but it was too late, and the option popped up again.

   [A. Your home is nearby, why not take the detective back to bandage the wound. ]

   [B. I was too embarrassed to go there, so I decided to help the detective find a teacher from the infirmary. ]

"Who wants to bring this **** thing home? Normally, you should choose to step forward and kill him while he is sick..." Curacao thought of those successive harassing emails and sighed, but in the end he could only admit it. Come to reality, "B, BBB."

Although the shyness of "I'm sorry to go" is completely nonsense, no matter how you look at it, it is better than option A which is more likely to develop into a horror story.

 Pressing the option, the character regretfully walked away. Curacao looked at Jiang Xia who was gradually leaving the screen and breathed a heavy sigh.

As a result, the next second, the screen actually switched. As she walked away, behind her, Jiang Xia turned to look over, casting a sad look from a distance under the setting sun.

 Curaçao: “…”

 Why did you suddenly give this detective a close-up again? Next time you show something like this, can you set up a high-power early warning first?

Speaking of which, the game designer seems so evil-minded. She has clearly chosen to reject all the options so far. She is a good detective who only wants to investigate the case, but she and Jiang Xia still seem to have an intersection afterwards. The terrifying appearance.

What kind of fighting game... this is obviously a horror movie.
