"Noah's Ark?"
Yakushiji Ryoko frowned upon hearing the voice's self-proclaimed voice.
"What, is there anything wrong with this 'Noah's Ark'?"
Yan Kai couldn't help but ask, because he felt that Yakushiji Ryoko seemed to have some understanding of this so-called "Noah's Ark".
"Hiroki Sawada, the real developer of this game, is said to have been developing an AI system in addition to the 'Cocoon' game during his lifetime. The name of the AI he developed is called 'Noah's Ark'. According to various According to various evaluations, 'Noah's Ark' has extremely strong self-learning ability and human-like emotional programming, and has performance beyond all currently known AI. However, just when 'Noah's Ark' was about to be developed, Hiroki Sawada But he committed suicide by jumping off a building, and "Noah's Ark" has disappeared since then. Some people say that his adoptive father, Thomas Schindler, the chairman of the Schindler Company, was afraid of seeing things and missing people, so he moved the "Noah's Ark" that was about to be completed. "Ark" is permanently sealed. Is it because the "Cocoon" game is completed that Thomas released "Noah's Ark" and acted as the GM of other games?"
Yakushiji Ryoko guessed.
"But what does it mean when it talks about rebirth of Japan?"
After Yakushiji Ryoko explained "Noah's Ark" to Yan Kai, she couldn't help but have such doubts.
Although it was strange to say "Noah's Ark", Ryoko Yakushiji still regarded it as part of the game at this time, and did not think that this game had been completely separated from the moment the sound of "Noah's Ark" sounded. took control of the Schindler Company.
Going back a little bit in time, after learning that the death message of "JTR" was related to the game, unlike Conan entering the game to search for clues, Officer Megure, led by Kudo Yusaku, came to the game's control room and asked Schindler Company Chairman Thomas Schindler temporarily suspended the game until they could find out.
Thomas Schindler, the chairman of the Schindler Company, would certainly not agree to the Metropolitan Police's rude request (which would affect his own money-making).
Are you kidding me? The Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department actually dares to take control of a company in my father's country. I wonder if even the government of your father's country will listen to big capitalists like us?
So Thomas refused without hesitation, but just when he refused Officer Memu's request to stop the game, the technicians in the control room told Thomas that the game was out of control and they couldn't stop it even if they wanted to...
At the same time, the voice of "Noah's Ark" sounded, telling them that the game had been taken over by it.
On the big screen of the display stand, the forty-nine experiencers who entered the game showed their figures. Except for the place where the experiencers were, the surroundings were dark. There was no gorgeous beauty of high-tech games at all, but an endless atmosphere. The unknown is scary.
Most of the people who experienced the game were elementary school students, not even junior high school students. They were at the age where they were afraid of the dark. When they saw the darkness in the game, they all began to shrink back. Some even wanted to leave the game, but they entered this game. You’re in, but how to exit? The staff didn’t tell me how to quit!
"Conan!"
In the game, Mao Lilan finally found Conan among a bunch of children. Conan was surprised when he saw Mao Lilan: "Xiaolan, why are you here!"
"Of course I'm worried about you!"
Mao Lilan said a little angry.
"It's just a game. What's there to worry about? You really like to worry about it..."
Conan said with a face.
After he became smaller, Conan felt that Mao Lilan was becoming more and more like a housekeeper, and she had to take care of everything he did.
Mao Lilan looked unfazed by being disliked, but she also felt that there was really no need to follow him this time. Conan was here to play games, not to investigate the case, so there shouldn't be any danger. He followed him without leaving, Maybe it will also affect the Conan game experience.
As he spoke, five roads rose up in the surrounding darkness, and the sound of "Noah's Ark" also sounded.
"So, for everyone who is experiencing the 'Cocoon' game for the first time, the game has begun! My name is 'Noah's Ark', please give me some advice!"
As soon as the children heard that the game was about to start and there was light rising around them, making the environment less scary, they all shouted excitedly: "Please give me some advice!"
"Currently, there are five game scenes to choose from in the 'Cocoon' game. Now I will play the demo images of the five scenes. Please choose the game scene you want to play. But there is one thing to note, because this is not a pure virtual game. A real game, this is a game that concerns your lives!"
The words "Noah's Ark" made the faces of the children, including Conan, change.
About our lives? We are just here to play a game, why is our lives at stake?
The children looked confused.
"Noah's Ark" gave the children some time to digest the information, and then continued: "If everyone is eliminated, you will not be able to return to the real world, so you have to play the game seriously!"
"As long as one person reaches the finish line, even if you win, the children who were eliminated before that will be able to wake up and return to the real world."
"But when everyone is out, I will release special electromagnetic waves to destroy your brains. In other words, this is a game with the rebirth of Japan as a bet. These are the rules of the game I have set, you understand?"
"What does it mean to let Japan be reborn?"
In the control room of the "Cocoon" game, Kudo Yusaku asked the same question as Yakushiji Ryoko.
Kudo Yusaku, who was related to the game and had a good relationship with the police, and was also a close friend of the victim Kashimura Tadaki, stepped forward at this time and started negotiating with "Noah's Ark" with unknown intentions.
The speech of "Noah's Ark" just now was heard not only by the players who were in the game, but also by the guests watching the big screen in the venue, and the people in the game control room.
"Noah's Ark" did not directly answer Kudo Yusaku, but said in the game: "Although you can't hear the sounds of the real world in the game, an adult just asked a question, so I will answer it."
"Seeing you like this, I think the children of dirty politicians will only become dirty politicians, and the children of doctors who only think about making money will eventually become such doctors. If you want to make Japan a better place, This relationship must be cleared up once and for all!”
The answer "Noah's Ark" was spread throughout the entire press conference venue through the microphone, and naturally it was also heard by people in the control room.
"Stop this!" Officer Megure slapped the console in the control room with an indignant look on his face, "Do you have the right to play with human life?"
"I really don't, but what about you? Do you adults have the right to play with Hiroki's life?"
"Noah's Ark" replied coldly.
It was obviously just an AI, but the voice of "Noah's Ark" made Officer Megure feel angry and sad, and Officer Megure couldn't help but take a step back.
Why does this AI give me the feeling of a sad child?
Officer Megure asked himself in his mind.
After "Noah's Ark" announced the rules, the children in the game became extremely panicked, and some timid girls even cried.
It’s a game that kills people. Before they played this game, they had never heard of such a thing happening!
At this time, five game scenes appeared out of thin air in front of all participants, namely "Vikings", "Paris-Dakar Rally", "Ancient Roman Arena", "Solomon's Treasure", " Old London".
The demonstrations of the five game scenes are all very exciting. At other times, these children would have cheered and wanted to play, but now everyone is gloomy and unable to get excited at all - as long as they are normal people, for this kind of life-oriented game I don't like the chip game, especially since there are so many children here.
"We will die, we can't win at all!"
"If I had known this, I wouldn't have come here. Dad, come and save me!"
"It's too much. We didn't choose to be our father's children. Just because of this reason, we have to encounter something like this..."
"No matter who it is, please persist until the end and save me!"
The children's emotions were very unstable, and there was a faint tendency to collapse before the game started. Seeing this, Mao Lilan immediately shouted: "Everyone, cheer up! There will be a way, don't panic!"
Mao Lilan was extremely nervous when she heard the words "Noah's Ark", but as the oldest person among all the experiencers, she still suppressed her fear and comforted the other children.
"You can't give in before the winner is determined!"
Mao Lilan encouraged the children.
"Yeah, as long as one person can reach the finish line, it's fine!"
Conan responded immediately.
The two sang together and finally calmed the children's emotions temporarily. In order to go out alive to see their families, the children, even if they were frightened, could only force themselves to calm down, then choose a game scene according to their feelings and Enter.
They actually don't think they can survive to the end, they just hope that someone, even one person, can win the game for them so that they can survive.
The kids got into the game, and outside the game, at the press conference, the parents of those kids went absolutely crazy.
They used countless connections to get the first tryout of the "Cocoon" game, but ended up sending their children to a dead end? How can they accept this?
"I'm too lazy to spend time with you, I want to take my son back!"
Some of the child's parents were humane, and they walked to the display stand first, to where their son's playhouse was.
"I want to bring my son back too!"
Someone responded at the beginning, and soon the parents of their children came forward. But before they started to act, the father of the first child to walk up to the display stage just touched the game cabinet where his son was, and a strong electric current instantly He jumped out and shocked the child's father to the ground.
Someone demonstrated wrongly and paid the price. The parents of other children immediately stopped and began to look left and right.
A child can be reborn after death, and many people do not only have one child at home, but they have sent it themselves, so it is better to wait and see at this time.
"No one will be allowed to interfere with the game. It's just a slight punishment now. I won't be merciful next time."
The sound of "Noah's Ark" sounded again, and at the same time, the guests at the venue understood that this "Noah's Ark" was serious, and he might really kill the children in the game.
"hateful!"
Officer Megure punched the console.
There is the daughter of his old friend Maoli in the game. If Xiaolan is really left in the game forever, but he, the elder, can't do anything, what face will he use to meet Brother Maori in the future? !
In addition to adults, there are also children who are worried about the game experiencers.
"Captain, Conan, Conan..."
Ayumi Yoshida pulled Ling's sleeve. After seeing an adult touch the game warehouse and being electrocuted, she began to believe that this game could really kill people, and she immediately became extremely nervous.
Ling did not speak, but began to look for the trash can where the badge had been discarded, hoping to find the badge inside and enter the game.
Those brats are totally unreliable, so I have to go in and kill them.
But then I thought about it. In my current situation, even if I got the badge, I still wouldn't be able to enter the game. There was no way the staff would let me in.
"Damn it, can't we just sit there in silence?"
Ling said unwillingly.
She doesn't care about "Noah's Ark". She is the only one who can teach her a lesson. If anyone else dares to touch her, she must deal with him!
Just when Ling was irritable, a very suspicious "fat blue man" came to Ling's side, bent down, and stared at Ling with his big head: "Little sister, do you need help?"
"Sister Lala, what are you doing?"
Haiyuan Ai on the side couldn't help but ask.
Now everyone is worried about the people trapped in the game warehouse, but they have no intention of watching Lala play tricks.
"Ale, Xiao Ai, how did you recognize it!"
"Fat Blue" swayed back and forth in surprise, looking extremely funny. The originally tense atmosphere suddenly relaxed a little. Moto Kojima couldn't hold it back and even laughed, but he quickly remembered that now was not the time to laugh. He quickly covered his mouth.
"Voice, your voice!"
Hui Yuan Ai said helplessly, this princess from a foreign country is really out of line, and she doesn't know why Yan Kai took her in.
"Hehehehe, I'll pay attention next time. I wanted to tease you, but I didn't succeed."
"Fat Blue" touched the back of his head and looked embarrassed.
Hui Yuan Ai rolled her eyes: "Sister Lala, we are worried about the children in some rooms right now and have no time to play with you."
Although they have only been together for a few days, Haiyuan Ai has already figured out Lala's temperament. She is obviously sixteen years old, but her temperament is the same as that of a six-year-old child, but her body has developed to the maturity of a twenty-six-year-old. Women also feel inferior to themselves. They are people who often make mistakes, but they are not annoying.
"No, no, I'm not here to play with you!" "Fat Blue" waved his hands in denial, then paused, rubbed his head and said, "Wait, strictly speaking, I am indeed here to play with you. "
"Sister Lala!"
Hui Yuan Ai lowered his voice.
"Wait a minute, Xiao Ai, listen to my quibble! No, it's an explanation! The translator made a mistake just now!" "Fat Blue" was so nervous that he almost became incoherent. Then in his panic, "Fat Blue" didn't know where to start. I found something like a pair of VR eyes somewhere.
"Here, these are the gaming glasses I made. Put them on and you can access the game and help the children inside!"
"Fat Blue" lamented to Haihara, and then handed the gaming glasses to Haihara Ai.
Hui Yuan Ai hesitated and was about to pick it up when his gaming glasses slipped and fell to the ground.
"Oh, these hands are so inconvenient to hold things!"
"Fat Blue" rubbed his head and said in annoyance.
The corner of Haiyuan Ai's mouth twitched, and he bent down to pick up the gaming glasses from the ground. It didn't look like they were broken.
"But, there is only one pair of glasses, and we only have one person in, so we may not be able to do anything to them..."
Haihara Ai murmured while holding the gaming glasses.
"Don't worry, I have plenty more here!"
"Fat Blue" took out four pairs of gaming glasses from nowhere. Counting the pair in Haihara Ai's hand, all five members of the "Young Detective Team" had no problem entering the game.
"Ah, it fell again. It's really inconvenient to hold things with my hands!"
