Conan’s Corpse Picker

   Chapter 951 NPCs are not scary

   "Oh, good..." Yuanta and Mitsuhiko touched the beautiful metal pattern on the gun handle and put down the gun regretfully.

  Although they often don't listen to Conan's words, but after getting along for so long, the two also vaguely feel that Conan is more reliable than them. And now the matter is related to the lives of fifty people, it is best to listen to the advice.

In addition, in case they have to fight against Conan, which will cause huge trouble later, and then they are unfortunate... ah no, they were lucky enough to clear the level and meet Brother Jiang Xia, who also walked out of the game alive, and then Brother Jiang Xia found out. The situation here...

  “…”

  Bangdang—

   Mitsuhiko and Gentashui closed the drawer and shuddered.

  Then the two of them avoided the terrifying drawer like the plague, ran quickly to the others, and walked out of the house with them, preparing to find the "Colonel Moran".

   Soon, "Zhuxing Hideki" was the only person left in the room - Noah was at the end.

  …

   When the others were gone, he opened the drawer again and looked at the gun.

  Although Noah wants to enjoy the game more. But now, since they don't plan to destroy themselves after this dungeon is over, there will be other opportunities for other games after that. The acquaintances of the psychic master's acquaintances are quite interesting, and they should be able to play with them for a long time.

   In addition, Noah remembered that after a while, Jiang Xia still has things to do in reality, and that matter is about "sending Sindora on the road", so relatively, in the game, you need to speed up the progress.

  —There are too many people in this dungeon, so we need to eliminate them first.

   And this gun is an important prop that caused a commotion.

  Noah picked up the gun, smiled and turned around, startled.

  —Behind him, there was another person at some point.

  Jiang Xia, dressed in an authentic British gentleman's attire, was standing in the room with a walking stick. It seems that he has been watching a play in the void, and at this time he finally showed his body.

   "...It's you." Noah breathed a sigh of relief, lifted the hem of his clothes, and hid the gun in his trousers.

After the    contract, in this space, Jiang Xia's authority is even higher than that of Noah himself.

  Noah is used to being a "god" in his own territory, and a person suddenly appears from behind... It really scares the AI ​​a bit.

   Jiang Xia watched Noah hid his gun:

"If you don't like being an 'inner ghost', you can discuss it with Miyano Akemi and ask her to work harder, which will also speed up the player's elimination progress." He remembered that this AI with a good feel seems to have a hidden The desire to "experience the game".

   "No, no. Now that's fine."

  Noah had no guilt and guilty conscience of "backstabbing his teammates", but his eyes flashed eager to try:

   "It's so boring to clear the level without any waves - just like the 'eagle' in the eagle catching the chicken, there is always someone responsible for sacrificing themselves and improving the difficulty of the game."

   said, it slapped the gun on its waist, and said confidently: "This is not a ghost, this is a great sacrifice."

  Jiangxia: "…"

  … a merely transparent ball, but it was quite black when cut open.

   However, Noah said so...

  "..." It seems that it is really not fun to be a ghost among the players, secretly tricking people.

   Next time, if you have the opportunity, you can bring a few acquaintances in and try it out - just now, Jiang Xia was free to stroll around Noah, and found that there seem to be some brand new prototypes, waiting for them to improve the development.

  …

Next to   , the players said goodbye to the landlady and walked outside the house.

   They were blown away by the cold wind blowing on the street, recovered from their thoughts, and suddenly found that one person was missing.

   When he looked back, he happened to see "Zhuxingxiushu" walking out unhurriedly. He also looked at the decorations in the aisle along the way, without any apology for being late.

   Considering his arrogant temperament, the others did not find it strange.

  Conan glanced at Zhuxing Hideki and suddenly remembered something.

   He turned his head and looked at the "counting clock" on the tower in the distance, his expression changed slightly.

  —they went into the room to search the information space, and 19 players were out. Now, the number pointed to by the minute hand is "30".

  … After ten minutes passed, the five copies added up, and only thirty people remained.

  The terrible elimination rate and the excessive speed made Conan feel nervous.

  Suzuki Sonoko followed his gaze and found the situation, and he kept muttering in his heart.

  Although she doesn't like playing games that much, she has participated in the planning of certain games for fun before, and in the process, she has learned a little by ear and eye. Suzuki Sonoko pondered:

"Without us, the elimination rate in other dungeons has actually reached 50%. And we have all survived until now. Since it is a dungeon of the same game, and there is no difficulty level, then in theory, the eliminations everywhere. The rate should be about the same... Could it be that we are about to encounter some kind of scene where there will be a lot of casualties?"

   She shrank to Mao Lilan's side a little scared.

   However, Maorilan was also afraid.

   The two huddled together, shivering in the cold wind.

   "If this is the case, the imminent 'death threat' refers to the next 'Colonel Moran'."

  Ai Haibara used to be a criminal member who often saw big scenes and often saw gin. Thinking that game NPCs can't be scarier than the man in black with Yin Changzhi, she is much calmer and rationally analyzed:

"Colonel Moran is not a good guy. He's greedy, fierce, and extremely loyal to Professor Moriarty - if Professor Moriarty has the 'Jack the Ripper' going around, then we and 'The Ripper' To be hostile to Hand Jack' is to be hostile to Moriarty, and of course Colonel Moran will not be polite to us."

   "But anyway, gotta go and see—we don't have any other clues."

Conan doesn't pay much attention to the off-site settings of the game, but is more optimistic: "And dungeons are different from dungeons. Those other dungeons, especially 'Pirates' and 'Gladiator', are originally settings that are easy to die in battle. But we're a detective copy here - as long as you don't act separately, and be careful before making a decision, you'll be able to avoid the death option."

  …

   Fifteen minutes ago, Conan said so confidently.

   Fifteen minutes later, outside the back door of the Poker Club.

  Conan gestured to the others with a hushed gesture: "You guys hide in the vicinity, don't walk around, I'll go in and check the situation."

  Noah: "..." Didn't you just say "Don't act separately", fickle little glasses...

  The high school girls and the teenage detective team, who often go out with Conan, are used to this mode of "they stand by, Conan explores around" and didn't say anything.
