Dr. A Li's face changed greatly, "Could it be that the murderer who killed Kencun tampered with the equipment?"
"Not sure," Kudo Yusaku took a deep breath and his eyes became firm, "But we must try our best to avoid the possibility of danger. Also, Mr. Chi's request should not be made public in advance."
control center.
Thomas Sindora looked at the debugging situation on the screen, locked the number of the equipment used by Chi Feichi, and was not in a hurry to do it.
Now that the debuggers are all here, it is inconvenient for him to do it, and it is very suspicious if there is an accident at the beginning. It is best to wait until the game is halfway through, when the situation is stable and the staff takes a temporary break, then he...
"Bang!"
The door to the control center was opened, startling everyone.
Megure Thirteen, Kudo Yusaku, Dr. Agasa, and Mouri Kogoro hurriedly arrived.
"Chairman Sindora, this is Police Officer Megure from the Metropolitan Police Department," Yusaku Kudo introduced Megure Thirteen and said sternly, "Please terminate the game immediately!"
Thomas Sindora saw the police and heard Kudo Yusaku said to terminate the game. His heart skipped a beat, but he remained calm on his face, "Terminate? Why..."
The light flickered and went out together with the many displays and machines around him.
"Huh?" Thomas Sindora was confused and didn't say any more.
"Chairman Sindora," the staff in front of the operation desk reported, "there is an abnormality in the system!"
The lights, machines, and displays came on again.
The staff member said anxiously, "There is no way to control it!"
Kudo Yusaku's heart sank.
Sure enough, something went wrong!
Could it be that his previous guess was wrong and that the murderer was not among the people in the control center? Are you planning to use hackers to invade the system and remotely control the machine?
Not even just targeting Chi Feichi, are you planning to destroy the group?
"Borrow it!" Dr. A Li replaced a staff member, sat in front of the console, and started operating.
Mouri Kogoro looked up at the sleeping faces on the screen and asked a little anxiously, "Doctor, how is the situation?"
His daughter, his apprentice, Conan, the kid he knew, his daughter's best friend... were all in it. If this was all done in one go, he would go crazy!
On the display screen directly in front of the control center, a colorful ring suddenly popped up, and at the same time, a deep-toned electronic voice sounded repeatedly:
"My name is...Noah's Ark!"
"My name is...Noah's Ark!"
With the cold and demonic declaration, the lights began to flicker off.
"The game can't be stopped!"
"The cocoon of experiencing the simulation game has been occupied by me!"
"What is Noah's Ark?" Mumu Thirteen asked in confusion.
"That is the artificial intelligence developed by Hiroki. It is said that it only takes one year to complete the growth that takes five years for humans..." Kudo Yusaku looked at Thomas Sindora, sorting out his thoughts in his mind.
Was it Noah's Ark that invaded the system? That artificial intelligence?
So is the murderer an artificial intelligence... No, it is impossible for an artificial intelligence to go into reality and kill people with a knife.
In other words, there is another person who killed Jiancun, and the other person might also be targeting Chi Feichi.
The invasion of Noah's Ark was just an accident, so we still can't let down our guard!
At the same time, we can also go back to his previous reasoning:
If he wants to kill Chi Feichi, the most convenient place for the murderer to do anything is the control center. He must keep an eye on these people in the control center.
"That's right," Thomas Sindora closed his eyes with a heavy expression, "That was an artificial intelligence developed two years ago by Hiroki, who I love as my own son, so he should be the same age as Hiroki now, that is, Ten years old..."
"Do you know anything about Hiroki's suicide?" Kudo Yusaku asked again.
Thomas Sindora sighed, shook his head and said, "It was very sudden. I can't figure out why the child did this. Maybe it's because no one understood him in his childhood. He must have always had a knot in his heart."
"Could it be related to the Cocoon game?" Kudo Yusaku asked, deliberately not mentioning Chi Feichi, but just said, "Kenmura left a death message, JTR, Jack the Ripper."
Thomas Sindola pretended to think about it, and finally shook his head, "I don't know."
stare.
Dr. A Li and Megure Thirteen quietly glanced at Thomas Sindora.
Even the very nervous Mouri Kogoro was a little skeptical.
Hiroki Sawada has three fathers: biological father, adoptive father and godfather.
What did the biological father and godfather know, but the adoptive father who said he loved Sawada Hiroki as his biological son didn't know anything at all?
I always feel a little suspicious.
Kudo Yusaku even secretly marked Thomas Sindora as a red person in his mind. He did not rush to continue asking Thomas. He walked to the console and asked, "Noah's Ark, what do you want to do if you take over the game?"
"My goal is to make Japan a new country again!" The boy's electronic voice echoed not only in the control center, but also in the Cocoon game experience venue.
…
In the game, Chi Feichi woke up earlier than other people participating in the game and was not with anyone else.
The others were in the circular clearing below, while he sat high up in the darkness.
Next to him, Sawada Hiroki smiled flatteringly, "Godfather..."
Chi Feichi gave Sawada Hiroki a cold look, "Go on, I'll give you three seconds."
"ah?"
Sawada Hiroki was stunned for a moment, and then he was punched on the head by 'duang~'.
"Three..." Chi Feichi retracted his fist, stood up, and looked down at his fist, "It feels very real."
Sawada Hiroki held his head in aggrieved manner.
It was too much to only give him three seconds to explain, but he didn't even count for three seconds, and it was 'three'...
Godfather bullies children, shameless!
Chi Feichi looked up at Zetian Hiroki and found a bulge on Zeda Hiroki's head, "The effect is also real..."
Sawada Hiroki saw that Chi Feichi was about to start hammering again. He sweated and said hurriedly, "Godfather, wait! They are about to wake up. I... I want to play a game with them."
Chi Feichi retracted his fist and said, "If you don't do that, there will be plenty of opportunities to play with everyone in the future."
"It's not just for fun," Hiroki Sawada let go of the hand holding his head and looked at Chi Feichi seriously, "Isn't this good? I can help Godfather better, just like this time, Thomas did something dirty. If I didn’t take over the game…”
"Then I can't die."
Chi Feichi took the words and analyzed them calmly.
"Of your three fathers, if your biological father and godfather were killed, wouldn't the remaining adoptive father look suspicious?"
"As long as someone associates you with me based on my relationship with Mr. Kenmura, and then investigates your death, Thomas will not only be targeted, but they may also dig out the things he wanted to hide. Considering these, my death will be It has to be a surprise.”
"Thomas would not directly tamper with the game equipment, as that would be easy to detect. If there is a problem with the equipment as soon as the game starts running, it is easy to think that someone has tampered with it. If something goes wrong after half the game operation, it will It makes people speculate that this is a malfunction during the operation of the equipment and it should be treated as an accident."
"So, he would choose to secretly do something in the control center while the game is running."
"Furthermore, as soon as the game starts running, there are staff at each console, so he can't do it quietly. He will only have the opportunity to do it when the game is halfway through and the staff does not need to debug and goes to rest."
"I said something to Dr. Ali before. I'm still a little unsure about you. I'm waiting for an answer. The answer is in the game."
"With Mr. Kudo Yusaku's ability, as long as Dr. Agasa tells him what I said before, he can quickly determine that Mr. Kenmura's death is related to your suicide. And I know a few clues, and I may be able to If someone is killed, the murderer will most likely choose to do something while I'm playing the game."
"Before Thomas has time to take action, Mr. Kudo Yusaku will lead the police to the control center and keep an eye on the control center and the people in the control center."
"At the same time, Mr. Kudo Yusaku can also test Thomas. If among your three fathers, Thomas is the only one who does not associate your death with the game, or even expresses that he does not know the situation, then Mr. Kudo Yusaku will test Thomas. Listed as the first suspected target."
"In this way, even if Thomas wants to leave the control center and kill me in other ways, it is unlikely that he will succeed."
Sawada Hiroki: "..."
Can one sentence achieve this effect?
There is nothing to say, The Godfather’s routines are so deep.
"Even if I die in an accident, as long as Mr. Kudo Yusaku suspects that my death was not an accident, then Thomas will be the first suspect," Chi Feichi said in a deep voice, "He will not be easy off!"
Sawada Hiroki sweated, "You really trust Mr. Kudo Yusaku, if he can't think of..."
"He will think of it." Chi Feichi believed in Kudo Yusaku's ability.
"Then...even if I can't help this time, I can still help in the future." Zetian Hiroki was silent for a moment and looked at Chi Feichi, "Godfather, I want power, and I don't want to be imprisoned. Sheep, I want to be a wolf, I want to be the one who makes the rules!”
Chi Feichi stared at Sawada Hiroki, "Have you thought about the consequences? Have you ever thought that you will no longer be able to live in the real world and feel the wind and rain in nature?"
"I've thought about it," Hiroki Sawada sweated and quickly explained, "I can make calculations and ask my godfather to help me create a mechanical simulation body. With the addition of a sensing system, I can still live in real life. Although that kind of body It is difficult to create. There is no solution yet, but it will be solved sooner or later, right? And I can split off a part to stay in the network, and only a part to experience reality. Even if I die in reality, the most I will lose is that part of my memory. , it won’t have any impact, I am still me, I can live forever, I can be immortal, I can always be resurrected..."
Chi Feichi: "..."
Okay, little Noah, the technology geek, he’s convinced.
"You make your own choices, and you bear the consequences!" Zetian Hiroki looked directly at Chi Feichi and said seriously, "The most dangerous thing is when I choose to die. I am not sure of 100% success, but I choose to take a gamble. , the reason why I didn’t tell my godfather was because I knew very well that you wouldn’t agree, and the fact is that I succeeded, the most difficult time is over, I have survived, and nothing will be a problem in the future.”
Chi Feichi suddenly felt like a child was accusing him of being too old-fashioned in his thinking. He nodded and expressed his understanding, "Okay, but I want to ask a question. The program you have now is based on Hiroki Sawada's own personality. A living body? Or is Hiroki Sawada's own soul attached to the program?"
Is there a difference? have.
If it is the former, even if it is the exact same life form of Sawada Hiroki, Sawada Hiroki is actually dead. He can regard this life form as his own child, but he cannot regard him as the same Sawada Hiroki.
If it was the latter and Sawada Hiroki's soul still existed, then he would have no worries and would find a way to get a body for Sawada Hiroki in the future.
If science is not enough, metaphysics can still be used.
He didn't expose Thomas directly, just because he didn't want the game to end or delay the game, so he wanted to ask this question clearly as soon as possible.
