Sure enough, the voice of Noah's Ark rang out again.
He did not mention Tia's seizure of control.
Instead, he explained to everyone the reason for his appearance—
Correct the corrupt system in Japan!
As for how to correct it?
If no one completes the game by the end.
This means Japan's future is hopeless.
All fifty people participating in the game will have their brains burned by the special electromagnetic waves released from the "cocoon" game pod beneath them, and then it's Game Over!
These children, who represent the future of Japan, will die!
Xia Ye almost laughed.
He really loved this movie when he watched it back then, and even as an adult, he still thought it had profound themes and deep social relevance. However—looking back now, the logic behind it all seems rather absurd.
Although Hiroki may be the most talented child in the entire world of Detective Conan.
But children are children after all, and they are still too naive.
Will killing these children change Japan's future?
Bullshit!
Killing these children would have a less significant impact on Japan than killing their parents and elders.
After all, these large families have no shortage of descendants.
Take the Suzuki Group for example.
Leaving aside Sonoko and Ayako from the main family, there are at least dozens of cousins of the same generation in the branch families.
The children here are the same way~
Even if one or two die.
Although their families will be heartbroken, the impact on Japan will be minimal; at most, it will spark some discussion.
So while The Phantom of Baker Street movie seems impressive, it shouldn't be taken too seriously. A closer look reveals quite a few plot holes.
However, Xia Ye still likes it very much!
Meanwhile, on the other side.
In the guest seating area.
Inside the game control room outside.
Everyone was stunned by the news!
This includes Syndra, the chairman of Syndra Corporation, who killed game developer Kenmura.
He never imagined that after silencing those who might expose his secrets, he would face such a situation!
He could imagine.
Even if no one discovers that he committed murder.
If anything happens to the children who came to play games today, let alone his safe return to the United States, whether he can live a little longer will depend on fate!
after all--
Let's not even talk about the children of the powerful and wealthy.
The second daughter of the Suzuki Group is also in the game!
If anything were to happen to her, would the Suzuki Group let it go?
In the theater.
The parents who were waiting in their seats could no longer sit still. They rushed onto the stage, ready to forcibly open the 'Cocoon' game pod.
However, a sharp electric current jolted them away, accompanied by a warning that if they forced it open, the people inside would die instantly!
As a result, these people who were usually in high positions of power no longer dared to act rashly, and could only watch their children helplessly through the transparent glass and pray silently.
Inside the control room.
Yusaku Kudo stared at the monitor screen. He had just exchanged a few words with the AI that called itself Noah's Ark. The AI seemed determined to eliminate these rich and powerful kids in Japan. In its words, this was called "cleansing," "correction," and "changing the future of Japan."
Yusaku Kudo frowned.
He doesn't care about anyone else.
But his son was inside.
Although I believe Shinichi can resolve the trouble and eventually complete the game, what if something goes wrong? After all, Noah's Ark wasn't in my script. Its appearance means the game has deviated from the script and started to get out of control!
Kudo Yusaku looked at the calm-looking young man.
His eyes held a barely perceptible ruthlessness.
This is the person who stole my house and put a green hat on himself!
Although he had been having affairs with other women for a long time, he never imagined that Yukiko would be having affairs with other men.
And this time her attitude was so tough!
If Shinichi wasn't in there.
Kudo Yusaku even had an urge to make these people perish together with Natsume.
The game just happened to malfunction.
He died inside without anyone knowing!
However, judging from Xia Ye's performance...
He seemed to know something about Noah's Ark.
For Shinichi's sake, let's just bear with it for now.
...
In the game.
Most children have already made their choices.
There are five game worlds in total: [Pirate Age], [Paris-Dakar Rally], [Ancient Roman Colosseum], [Solomon's Treasure], and [Jack the Ripper Serial Murders].
"Xia Ye, have you noticed?" Xiao Ai tugged at Xia Ye's hand, "Whether it's pirate battles, high-speed racing, warrior duels, tomb raiding, or solving mysteries, these games are simply not suitable for children~"
"Of course~"
Xia Ye certainly noticed it, and she had noticed it back when she read "The Phantom of Baker Street" back then.
Of the children who entered the game this time, apart from those who followed Conan into the "Jack the Ripper" game world and played a little role, the rest were basically cannon fodder and didn't experience any joy from the game at all!
After all, apart from the Jack the Ripper scenario which could potentially be resolved with wit, all the other game worlds require combat. Let alone this group of pampered young masters and ladies, even if you threw Conan in, he wouldn't have a single chance of clearing one of the game worlds!
Which one do you want to play?
Xia Ye looked at the girls around her.
He looked relaxed, with a smile on his face.
Tia has already gained 30% control of the game.
In this way, while it may not protect everyone, at least the safety of those around you is completely guaranteed.
So now everyone can play easily, and once you've completed any game world, it'll all be over~
"I'm going to the Paris-Dakar Rally!"
Vermouth didn't hesitate and made her choice immediately. Like Yukiko, she was a seasoned driver, often racing through the streets of the US, so naturally she couldn't resist the speed and passion of the gaming world.
"Xia Ye, what about you?"
Xiao Lan asked curiously.
"Hmm~"
Xia Ye pondered for a moment.
He liked all five game worlds.
After all, this was the real virtual reality he had been looking forward to for so long!
He wants to play everything, but if he had to choose—
"I choose Pirate Age!"
"Let's go together then!"
Xiaolan looked at her friends.
Sonoko and Ai nodded in agreement.
They all knew that Xia Ye planned to seize Noah's Ark and then create a true virtual reality game.
In other words, they'll have plenty of opportunities to play more complete games in the future. As for now, it's more important to be with Xia Ye.
"Is Natsume-nii going to play pirate games?" Ayumi was a little disappointed. She wasn't interested in pirate battles at all. She had originally planned to follow Natsume-nii, who was very kind to her, but now she could only look at Conan. "Conan, which game are you going to play?"
"Of course, we're going to old London to catch Jack the Ripper!"
Conan didn't hesitate at all. For him, it would be great to see Sherlock Holmes on Baker Street, even if it was just a virtual one. He couldn't contain his excitement!
"Then be careful!"
Xia Ye waved his hand, gave a brief instruction, and turned to walk towards the stone gate where the [Pirate Century] was located.
Conan watched his retreating figure with a serious expression:
Xia Ye's behavior just now shows that he knew all along that Noah's Ark would cause trouble, and maybe he even came for Noah's Ark!
but--
Conan had no intention of asking Natsume about it.
Given Xia Ye's personality.
Even if you ask, you won't get an answer.
"Let's go~"
"Good~"
...
Sunlight bathed the sea.
Rippling golden light spread.
On a galleon.
Xia Ye and the others appeared on the deck.
boom--!
Before they could even get a good look at their surroundings, a cannonball landed next to the sailboat with a loud bang, sending up a water column several meters high!
"Look over there!"
Sonoko's tone was filled with excitement!
Xia Ye, Xiao Lan, and Xiao Ai also discovered the attacker.
It was a single-masted sailing ship, old and worn in style. Many men dressed as pirates stood along the ship's side, and a black skull and crossbones flag was fluttering in the wind on the mast—pirates!
"So this is what pirates are like!"
Looking at the ferocious-looking pirates, Xiaolan was eager to try. After all, it was just a game, so she wouldn't feel guilty even if she killed them all!
"Tia, what are the conditions for completing this game world?" When Noah's Ark was introduced earlier, it said this world has seven seas, and players need to use strong will and courage to challenge various adventures, but it didn't say what the final mission is.
It can't be that I'll become the Pirate King, can it?
The most obvious goal of the Paris-Dakar Rally is to defeat drivers from all over the world and win the off-road race.
The Colosseum in ancient Rome was certainly a place where you defeated various gladiators to win the title of champion warrior.
【Solomon's Treasure】is a treasure hunt where you can find Solomon's hidden treasures in various locations.
