Conan's Corpse Picker

But if you double-open as a player.From Jiang Xia's point of view: the "mysterious villains" are his ghosts besides himself... It's like playing house with yourself, it's as fun as it is, and it's tiring to play both.

So after much deliberation, he decided to put the identity of "Jiang Xia Tongzhi" in another dungeon, let Noah drive on autopilot, and then secretly hang up.

He himself, using the appearance of the original soul, cameo as the villain of the London copy, acting as the "anonymous boss" who patrols the daily activities of his subordinates.

Chapter 943 The Unknown Boss Announces Responsibility

After all, Noah said that there may be similar "copies" in the future.

If you want to play the villain's perspective, but don't want to bind the main body with the "Noah's Ark", an artificial intelligence that transcends the times, then of course you have to push a suitable "partner".

For example, his "anonymous boss".

——The appearance of Jiang Xia's soul is different from the current body, and will not be recognized by acquaintances.

...In short, it is considered that "Noah" and its "holographic game" are all famous tricks created by Anonymous.

And in this way, the various npcs in the game, such as Miyano Akemi and Matsuda Jinpei, are naturally set by Anonymous.

As for why Anonymous people use the dead as NPCs...

How could this Jiang Xia know?Those who want to know, please catch Anonymous yourself...if you can catch it.

"..." Of course, "Ontology doesn't want to play the London dungeon", of course you can't say it yourself.

Instead, it must be handed over to the cruel, ruthless and unreasonable kidnapper AI.

……

In the game square.

The "ruthless, unreasonable kidnapper AI" ruthlessly announced the rule that "Jiang Xia can only drive".

After finishing speaking, the door leading to the "Paris-Dakar Cross-Country Race" flashed in a timely manner, signaling Jiang Xia to go there.

——Only this copy, most of the time, the player is in the car. .

In addition, Noah thought, the key shots for a while must be in the detective dungeon.This means that as long as you pay attention to the shooting angle later, you can completely drive the car where the psychic master's owner is, pretending that Jiang Xia has been concentrating on driving in this instance.

……

"Well...how about we all drive too? There are more people and more strength, so we can increase the customs clearance rate."

Sonoko Suzuki is already on the gravel road leading to the "London copy".

At this time, hearing this change, she turned around and walked back.

Suzuki Sonoko didn't know that the death message of "JTR" pointed to the "London copy", so her idea was very simple - if there was Jiang Xia in the detective copy, [-]% of them could lie down and win, and they just went to visit the holographic game.

But now, Jiang Xia can't enter the detective dungeon, and the remaining people... don't seem to have any detective skills.It's better to go to other dungeons to clear customs together with Jiang Xia to increase the success rate - anyway, "Noah's Ark" has no restrictions on clearing dungeons.

While speaking, Suzuki Sonoko wanted to go through the stone gate and return to the platform.

However, this action was unsuccessful.

——Just like Jiang Xia was stopped when she entered the door.

When Suzuki Sonoko went out, he bumped into an invisible soft barrier and was bounced back.

Mao Lilan, who was following behind, was quick-eyed and helped her up.

"..." Suzuki Sonoko touched her forehead in confusion, and when she regained her senses, she waved her fist in the air angrily, "Hey! What are you doing, customer service? You can't change the copy!"

Noah explained patiently:

"I'm very sorry, but the judgment procedure is set at the gate. When you pass through the stone gate, your player identities have already been bound.

"Although under normal circumstances, the game can be exited and re-selected, but now, the rules have been changed, and various 'exit' options are locked-just like you cannot leave the game, you cannot re-select the copy now."

"...Speaking of kidnapping and program tampering so confidently." Suzuki Sonoko's forehead twitched, and he wanted to fight Noah, but unfortunately he didn't know where the little AI was.

……

"It's okay, you go to the detective dungeon—anyway, there is only one driver's seat in racing, and there are many people and few, so the results are similar." Jiang Xia sighed helplessly.

He seems to be comforting himself and comforting others:

"Although it is inconvenient to act separately, this is also double insurance. Maybe you have already cleared the level while I am still on the road-since it is a game for children, even if it is a detective copy, the difficulty should not be too high .”

Conan looked up at Jiang Xia through a stone door, and nodded his head heavily.

He suddenly felt a heavy weight on his shoulders, as if he had shouldered a double heavy mission——Jiang Xia's sentence "Maybe you will be the first to clear the customs" must have been said to him, this is the sympathy between two detectives.

"Don't worry." It's been a long time since Conan solved the case in the "no Jiang Xia" environment.

Although this is a life-threatening game, at this moment, his eyes are still brightened, and his fighting spirit is ignited: "Leave it to us."

Jiang Xia nodded.

He glanced at "Musho Hideki" who had also entered the detective dungeon.Then turn around and walk towards the stone gate leading to the "Paris-Dakar Cross Country".

……

Outside the game, in the control room.

Yusaku Kudo looked at the "in-game screen" displayed on the screen with solemn eyes, turned his head and asked Dr. Ali: "How is it?"

Dr. A Li looked at the values ​​of the various machines with an ugly face: "There is a huge amount of energy stored in the 'cocoon'. It is indeed enough to destroy the brains of fifty people in an instant."

……

In the game hall, on the audience stage next to "Cocoon".The parents of those experiencers also became anxious.

A few people rushed onto the stage impulsively, waved away the staff who came to stop them, and rushed to the side of the cocoon, trying to force open the lid and get the people inside out.

Just as the hand touched the cabin, a crackling electric current came.

"what--!!"

With a few short screams, several tough parents collapsed to the ground.

They were dragged away by terrified staff and carefully pulled away from the game pod.

"Don't provoke me." Noah's cold voice resounded through the hall from the speaker, with a stern tone, "Just now I didn't explain the rules clearly - it is forbidden to open the game cabin from the outside. Next time, I will end you immediately and the life of the players in the cabin."

……

From the monitoring in the control room, a part of the game hall can be seen.

The Megure police department who witnessed the AI ​​electric man was completely stunned.

As a middle-aged man who usually has to work crazy overtime, has no time to surf the Internet, and doesn't even know how to use a blog, the Mumu police department really doesn't understand this kind of high technology.

He looked at the other people in the room suspiciously: "That hacker... no, that computer. Uh, I mean that artificial intelligence—why did it suddenly lose control?"

Syndora folded her arms, staring at the screen with an ugly expression, not wanting to speak.

"Probably because of its maker, Hiroki Sawada." Next to him, Yusaku Kudo sighed, "Although Hiroki was born in Japan, he has never been able to adapt to Japanese education—this kind of suppression of children's personality, The outdated and pedantic education system made Hiroki labeled as a weird kid with a 'computer paranoid'. The whole country does not agree with the child's 'personality'.

"Noah's purpose may actually be Hiroki's purpose—they want to subvert all kinds of outdated ideas in Japan, and start everything from scratch.

"Unfortunately, the current behavior of 'cutting off the second and third generations of a big man' may be the 'solution' that Noah finally found."

Chapter 944

The Mumu Police Department is struggling to digest the news.

As he listened, he suddenly felt that something was wrong, and asked in confusion: "Brother Kudo, why are you so clear about the inside story? Do you know that 'Sawada Hiroki'?"

"I know his biological father, that is, Kenmura." Yusaku Kudo sighed, "Actually, in the past year, besides friends, Kenmura and I have a relationship of 'detective and client'—he asked me to Re-investigate Hiroki's death."

next to.

Syndora has long felt that someone is playing tricks.

Hearing this, he immediately sneered: "Are you trying to say that Hiroki didn't commit suicide, but homicide? - There are videos of what happened back then, and Hiroki went to the rooftop by himself and jumped off. I tried to stop I did, but unfortunately, I couldn’t make it.”

"We don't suspect this." Kudo Yusaku shook his head and looked at him sternly. "What I want to investigate is why Hiroki committed suicide."

"Heh." Syndora didn't bother to talk to the detective, and turned to look at the screen.

Compared with "passing the level", he actually hopes that the group of experiencers will die inside.

Only in this way will he not bring his secret out of the game...

……

in the game. .

In addition to Jiang Xia, several other children also chose the venue of the "Paris-Dakar Cross-Country Race".

Several people walked through the gravel road and entered the transmission channel.

The moment they arrived at the dungeon, they were immediately separated and arrived at their respective birth points.

This happens to be the starting point of a village-level cross-country race.

Jiang Xia looked at the racing car in front of him and got into the car.

The moment he got into the car, he replaced himself with an npc with the face of "Jiang Xia Tongzhi" that Noah hurriedly rubbed out.

Jiang Xia herself instantly entered a place similar to the "employee channel".

——Although the contract with Noah is somewhat incomplete, most of the functions are still available.

After obtaining the highest management authority, this space is much freer for him than when he came in last time.

……

Not long after, Jiang Xia poked his head out of the air, and landed on a long stone street in a blink of an eye.

——He left the copy of "Paris-Dakar Race" and wandered into the copy of "London at the End of the Nineteenth Century".With his original appearance.

Jiang Xia looked around, and was still surrounded by the familiar dirty air, gloomy sky, smog, and dirty water.

He sighed, and whispered to Noah in a low voice: "The environment is too restored, and the experience is very poor."

Next to it, the door of the cafe suddenly opened.

The npc clerk came out, bowed and offered a cup of coffee with a flattering expression, probably Noah's answer to his complaint.

Jiang Xia took it smoothly.

The clerk walked back silently and closed the shop door again.
