When you focus on something, time often flies by.
Let’s not mention what kind of experiment the two people and one cat conducted.
In short, the next afternoon, when Suzuki Sonoko brought a group of people to visit him, he saw Dr. Ali lying on the sofa in the living room, sleeping soundly with Xue Li in his arms.
Conan approached Haihara Ai and asked in a lowered voice: "Why is the doctor still sleeping? Did anything happen after I left yesterday?"
"This kind of thing...you should ask that guy who likes to do mischief!" A certain loli glanced at Ye Gengyi.
The latter was asking several people whether they wanted to drink tea or coffee.
"It would be great if I could have a glass of beer..." A certain detective uncle muttered, and then was ruthlessly suppressed by his daughter.
"Brother Gengyi, don't bother me. I'm here mainly to invite you to the game conference held tonight at the Mihua Municipal Building."
As Suzuki Sonoko said, she put a few clothes bags on the coffee table and said, "This is the dress I prepared for everyone."
"That's it, thank you." Ye Gengyi did not refuse.
"Oh, it's not a big deal if you're just a little careful." Sonoko waved her hand and continued: "Because my father and mother have other entertainment, so I attended this press conference on behalf of the Suzuki family. It still feels like It’s quite strange, but luckily I have friends like you together..."
Hearing this, Ye Geng thought and worked out some details subconsciously. The wedding of Suzuki Ayako and Tomizawa Yuzo was approaching. It seemed that the two elders of the Suzuki family were preparing to slowly cultivate Sonoko as the heir...
Thinking about it, he casually asked: "Does the Suzuki Consortium also fund game development?"
"Of course," Yuanzi said with a smile: "My father is very optimistic about these emerging industries. Although he didn't tell me, I was ready to invite him, but he specifically told me that I must bring Gengyi to this event. Press conference, and I think Brother Geng is also very interested in 'Cocoon'."
"Can I bring pets?" Ye Gengyi asked.
"ah?"
Yuanzi was stunned for a moment. Because the topic jumped too quickly, she was not prepared for this question. She hesitated for a long time before saying: "It should be... no problem."
...
After waking up Dr. Agasa, they boarded the Suzuki Consortium's luxury car again. As a generous lady, Suzuki naturally did not forget the three young detectives.
7:30 p.m.
Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building.
At this time, the door was not only surrounded by reporters who came after hearing the news, but also many bodyguards hired by the chaebol to maintain order.
The official Mihua radio news reporter had occupied a good position early and was interviewing the guests.
Several people who had entered the venue separately from the Suzuki Foundation earlier in front of the main entrance saw the scene of Suzuki Sonoko being interviewed by reporters. Mouri Kogoro couldn't help but said: "It's just a game conference, what's going on?" Such an exaggeration."
"I heard that before this press conference was held, industrial espionage had already been secretly operating," Conan said. "Did you know that because of the emergence of this cocoon, it is claimed that it will change the entire video game industry."
"If the virtual neural experience is only applied to games, it will be a waste of resources," Ye Geng said: "If the Sindora Group's ambition was just this, it would not specially invite these political and business leaders. Our children will be the first batch of experiencers.”
"Ah? Brother Genichi..." On the side, Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya's eyes lit up and he said, "You mean 'Cocoon' is just a game developed by Sindora Group. Their virtual neural connection technology can also Applications in other fields."
"War simulation in the military aspect, neurotherapy in the medical aspect, these are just the most basic associations..."
Ye Gengyi said calmly:
"To go deeper, the participants are all children. They are the most receptive to new things and the easiest to be influenced. If in this experience, they accept such a world that is completely free from morality and the rule of law, In the new world of restraint, 'cocoon' will soon become a paradise for criminals. By then, any evidence will be just a piece of virtual data, and even detectives may not be able to solve the case."
"Hey... Geng, why do you feel like you are not optimistic about this game?" Mouri Kogoro couldn't help complaining: "If you consider the worst direction for all new things, then this It’s better for the world not to develop.”
"That is to say, brother Gengyi, I always feel that you seem a little strange today..." Conan pulled his sleeve and whispered: "Did something happen last night?"
"Well... you are right." Ye Gengyi had no intention of refuting.
Hey hey...
Whatever you said is right, your question was simply ignored, okay!
Seeing how satisfied Kogoro Mouri was after the lecture, Conan was completely speechless.
Don't be too perfunctory...
During the conversation, Ye Gengyi and several others walked into the venue one after another. Although the security personnel at the venue paid attention to the cat lying on his shoulder, they did not take any action to stop it.
Especially, after Ye Gengyi reported his name, he actually got a game experience medal that allowed him to participate in 'Cocoon', which immediately attracted the attention of the young detective team.
"Brother Gengyi, you can actually receive the qualification medal..."
"I'm so envious..."
Ye Gengyi was also a little strange about this. He turned to look at the thin middle-aged man who came all the way, wearing a dark gray suit, and asked: "Is it wrong? I remember it said on the invitation. , only children below high school can participate in this test.”
"You are Professor Ye Gengyi, right? This is our chairman, Mr. Thomas, who specially asked me to leave it to you," Kenmura Zhongbin said politely: "He is good friends with Mr. Tom, the president of Mantiantian in the United States. The two of them But I have always admired you as a young professor. Although Mr. Thomas had other engagements and was unable to come out to greet you this time, he has told me to receive you well."
"No reward for no merit," Ye Geng played with the medal and said, "It seems that I won't be able to refuse your company's invitation next time."
Jiancun Zhongbin smiled when he heard this: "This is really a surprising answer."
After the two were polite, they parted at the entrance, and Ye Gengyi continued walking inside.
"I heard that this game was jointly developed by a Japanese game manufacturer and Sindora Company." Kogoro Mori was a little surprised: "Boy, do you have a relationship with Chairman Thomas?"
Conan couldn't help but ask: "A computer genius like Brother Gengyi should have received an invitation from the Sindora Group a long time ago, right?"
"Well... I don't dare to treat him as a genius or anything like that." Ye Gengyi said.
Conan: "..."
So... have you figured out the point of what you just said?
"Ahem...More kid." A certain tool also said that he was not perfunctory this time.
"We just met a few times," Ye Gengyi said: "He has always wanted to recruit me to work for the Sindola Group. However, once I sign a contract with that kind of group, I'm afraid I won't be able to leave in the next few years. Research room."
Moreover, in such a time-chaotic world...
