The [incoming person] who fired the shot said calmly.

"Hosho Reito, the Professor asked me to give you his regards."

Damn professor...

Baosheng Reito thought.

I had clearly made him disappear forever.

Chapter 522: The Disappearance of Nanatsuki Koshimizu

Conan never expected that the player who was so high-spirited and boasted that he would directly eliminate the beta tester of the "Jack the Ripper" copy just now, would be lying on the ground dying just three minutes after leaving the group!

The pupils of the Death God Elementary School Student shrank when he saw the miserable state of Reito Hoshino. It was not because he thought that all would be lost if Reito Hoshino died, but because he realized that the difficulty increase of each dungeon by Noah's Ark might be beyond imagination.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for Hosho Reito to be shot and assassinated without coming into contact with any NPC. Perhaps Jack the Ripper has already realized their existence and is hunting them!

The bad thing is that many of the players participating in the Cocoon Game are wearing modern clothes. If the NPCs in this world can distinguish the era differences in clothing, then they will probably have nowhere to hide and will be unable to move!

What was Noah's Ark's purpose in opening the enhanced cocoon game? Was his goal truly to annihilate all players? Did he truly view the five game scenarios as a killing game where AI would slaughter humans?

(Or is it that even the assassination and shooting of the beta tester is part of the plot of this game scene? But why is this... As a game player, how is he different from other players?)

Many chaotic thoughts collided in his mind, and Conan found it difficult to guess how Noah's Ark would modify the script next, but he knew very well that now that Hosho Reito had been shot, the wound must be treated immediately.

He immediately squatted down, glanced at the white coat on Baosheng Reito, then tore off a piece of white cloth from it and quickly treated Baosheng Reito's wound, trying to reduce the loss of blood as much as possible.

At this time, Reito Hoshino seemed to have regained some consciousness. There was an inexplicable look in his eyes, making it difficult for Conan to describe the emotions in his eyes for a moment. Conan only heard him say this.

"continue……"

When Haibara Ai arrived at the scene after Conan, what she saw was the unconscious Hosou Reito and Conan with blood on his hands, and no one knew what he was thinking.

As a former member of the Black Organization, although she did not participate in such killings, it cannot be said that she has never received training in this regard. At least she has some knowledge of pistol shooting.

The slight smell of gunpowder lingering in the air and the obvious size of the wounds on Hoshino Reito's body instantly made Haibara Ai think of what the other party had experienced in the short time that he was out of everyone's sight.

"…Dr. Baosheng was shot?"

Haibara Ai's tone was a little complicated, and she was saying the obvious thing. When Housheng Reito visited Xiang Yuanguang before, she had asked Xiang Yuanguang his name, and naturally knew that Housheng Reito was one of the few top game players in the world.

In addition, since Reito Housheng was an insider player of the Cocoon game and had already completed the Old London scene, she never thought that Reito Housheng would be eliminated so easily in front of everyone.

"Dr. Baosheng? Is that his last name?"

Conan turned his head and looked at Huihara Ai. Before he could ask more questions, someone seemed to have seen something special in the alley, and a scream was heard immediately——————

The Elementary School Student of Death immediately turned his head to look outside the alley, but he could only see the back of a citizen running away. It was obvious that the other party would call the police from Scotland Yard and then investigate the situation of Reito Hosou.

Tick, tick, tick.

Footsteps began to sound continuously. The members of the Junior Detective League, including Ran Mouri, came to the alley. Looking at Reito Hoshino lying in a pool of blood, and Conan and Haibara Ai standing beside him, Ran Mouri subconsciously wanted to go forward to check the situation and ask Conan what happened here.

However, Conan reached out to stop Mao Lilan's actions at this time. His little face was full of seriousness and he said without hesitation.

"Sister Xiaolan, please take the Junior Detective Team and leave here first. Huibara and I will stay here and wait for the police to come... If we don't find out why Dr. Baosheng was assassinated, there will be no point in investigating."

At this time, the door of the main control room of Cocoon Game was pushed open.

Xiang Yuanguang held the Demon Hunting Knife at his waist and strode into the main control room. His eyes fell on the live broadcast on the screen of the main control room. When he saw Baosheng Reito lying in a pool of blood, his pupils shrank suddenly. No, buddy, have you violated the law of heaven or done something wrong? You lie down at the beginning? Do you have any master style?

Uncle Maori turned around when he heard the noise at the door. When he saw Xiang Yuanguang appear, a hint of joy suddenly flashed across his face. He was about to ask Xiang Yuanguang if he knew how to solve the special situation of the cocoon game, but at this moment he saw Thomas Sindora appearing behind Xiang Yuanguang in handcuffs.

"What's going on? Why was the chairman of the Sindor Group arrested?"

Kogoro Mouri was shocked. Although he did hate Thomas Sindra, who came up with the Cocoon Game, he was still shocked when he saw him being arrested.

Unless Thomas Sindra really wanted to hold fifty young celebrities hostage and set up a cocoon game, it would be impossible for the police to arrest Thomas Sindra on the spot. What was going on?

Inspector Megure poked his head out from behind Thomas Sindora. He was originally wondering why the launch venue of the Cocoon game had become like this, but when he saw Kogoro Mouri standing with Mitsuki Mukai, he was relieved.

The last time these two appeared together was on the cruise ship of the Suzuki Group, which resulted in a major murder case that lasted for a total of ten years and killed more than five people. It is not surprising that the impact is wider this time.

"Ahem, brother Maori, Thomas Sindra was arrested on the spot for suspected attempted murder. We brought him to the game control room now in the hope that he can redeem himself and see if he can help."

The fat police officer coughed twice and said so. However, before the fat police officer could finish his words, Thomas Sindra snorted coldly.

"Humph, Noah's Ark has gone out of control. My secret has been exposed anyway, so I'll just let these idiots be buried with me!"

Regardless of Maori Kogoro who tried to rush up and punch Thomas Sindora twice but was stopped, Xiang Yuanguang walked to Kudo Yusaku, looked at the screen where the live game was broadcast, rubbed his forehead with a headache, sighed, and asked.

"What's going on? Mr. Kudo, who did this?"

"Based on the other party's attire and the fact that he mentioned 'Professor', it is possible that it was the plot character Asogi Yishin who did it, but the gunman did not carry the famous sword called Demon Hunter."

Kudo Yusaku replied calmly, his eyes fixed on the situation in the live broadcast screen. He always felt that something was wrong. If the game players would be chased by the characters in the plot at the beginning, then the difficulty would be too high.

Normally, only children would enter the game. If there were no advanced players like Shinichi or Hosho Reito, this game would be impossible to complete...

Noah's Ark...will it choose to do this?

"Yasougi Ichima? I think that's unlikely."

Xiang Yuanguang directly denied Kudo Yusaku's inference. He quickly scanned the numerous surveillance screens and then frowned because he realized that there was a person's game screen missing in the surveillance screen here.

"…Where's Nanatsuki Koshimizu? Why can't I see her game screen? Didn't she enter the game?"

Chapter 523: Differences between Beta Test Players

Nanatsuki Koshimizu was the last player to enter the game portal. Therefore, all the game players, including Reito Housheng and Chiaki Nanami, did not know which game scene she finally chose to enter through the game portal.

However, Xiang Yuanguang knew very well that if Nanatsuki Koshimizu entered the game, then she would only have the possibility of entering the game portal of "Jack the Ripper", because this was what he had agreed with Nanatsuki Koshimizu before.

But now, there is no sign of Nanatsuki Koshimizu in any of the live broadcasts, and even Yusaku Kudo next to him added that all the gamers in Old London were refreshed together at the beginning, and Nanatsuki Koshimizu was not seen...

Xiang Yuanguang's face was a little gloomy. He realized that the current situation seemed a little wrong. Could it be that Noah's Ark was targeting game players whose appearance did not meet the normal player age range?

Hosou Reito, Koshimi Nanatsuki... Then, what about Nanami Chiaki and Mao Li Ran? What's going on with them?

After the blue hedgehog confirmed that the only live broadcast in the game control room was the surveillance footage of the "Jack the Ripper" game copy, he rushed out without hesitation and ran towards the game hall.

In order to mock the celebrities of these countries, Noah's Ark opened the live broadcast screens of all players in the game lobby. If you want to confirm the situation of Nanami Chiaki, going to the game lobby is the fastest and most convenient way.

Xiang Yuanguang put his hand on the stairs and fell down without hesitation. He then landed quickly and ran towards the game hall as if nothing had happened, leaving Officer Takagi who followed him dumbfounded.

"So should I jump or not... er, forget it."

Takagi Shigeru looked hesitant, but finally decided to follow his heart and planned to take the stairs.

On the one hand, he felt that his physical fitness might not be as good as that of his animal friends. On the other hand, he felt that if he could walk up the stairs but didn’t, the police station might not recognize it as a work-related injury and reimburse the money…

Tick, tick, tick, tick.

The sound of running footsteps attracted the celebrity parents who were sitting behind the movie theater. They turned around and saw the legendary lawyer Xiang Yuanguang, who had recently become famous among the local high-level officials in Tokyo.

Before these people could be surprised, Xiang Yuanguang had already passed through them and came to the front. His eyes quickly locked onto Nanami Chiaki who entered the scene of "Solomon's Treasure", but the situation was different from what he expected.

Although other players who entered this game scene were frowning and at a loss, Nanami Chiaki, an internal test player and game master, was making rapid progress and did not look like she was being targeted at all!

"Noah's Ark chose to assassinate Reito Hosho at the beginning, not because of Reito Hosho's age or identity. If we reverse the thinking and don't think about why Noah's Ark assassinated Reito Hosho..."

Xiang Yuanguang's breathing was steady, with no signs of having just exercised. He tapped his forehead with his finger and quickly entered a state of thinking. He gave up his previous line of thinking and instead worked his way back to the cause from the result.

"If you think in terms of [Why did Noah's Ark have to assassinate Hosho Reito], then there is only one answer. Hosho Reito's existence will prevent Noah's Ark from continuing the [Jack the Ripper] game!"

"But how could such a thing happen? How could a game player make the game administrator think that the game cannot continue if he exists, so he has to be forced offline by [plot killing]?"

The scene in front of the blue hedgehog suddenly changed. He thought of what Reito Hosou had said a few days ago when he came to the office and invited him to a Yu-Gi-Oh duel.

No matter how powerful a gamer is, they are still confined to the cage of the game's rules. To transcend the constraints of the game's rules, they must not confine themselves to the gamer's identity but must go further. Could it be that Baosheng Reito has mastered a special method that allows him to transform himself from a gamer? Just like the Fengling Yueying modifier in his previous life... an invincible golden body? A one-hit kill?

This idea was a bit too absurd. Xiang Yuanguang frowned. It was impossible for the other party to do this under the control of the cocoon game. It must be due to other reasons...

"Both Reito and Nanami Chiaki are internal test players. They both chose the game dungeons they played during the internal test to conduct strategy. However, Reito was targeted, but Nanami Chiaki was not. Why is that?"

"Mr. Xiang Yuan, is it possible that it's because of the different types of games?"

A voice suddenly sounded from behind, and Xiang Yuanguang's hair instantly stood up. He almost punched the person behind him and cut off the line. Fūya Zero was so scared that he subconsciously took two steps back. He laughed dryly and waved his hands.

"Don't be so excited. I just heard you, Mr. Xiang Yuan, reasoning to yourself, so I came over to share my thoughts."

...was I just talking to myself?

Xiang Yuanguang blinked and shook his head, not wanting to dwell on it. However, what Fūya Rei just said did give him some inspiration—yes, the different experiences of the two beta test players were most likely due to the different game types.

Because the levels in the [Solomon's Treasure] scene that Nanami Chiaki entered have been greatly enhanced on the original basis, even if Nanami Chiaki has the experience of completing the internal test, the difficulty of completing the levels can only be reduced a little.

However, the "Hound of the Baskervilles" scene that Reito Hosou entered is exactly the same as the current "Jack the Ripper" scene. The so-called reasoning and wise men are all born on the basis of sufficient intelligence.

Hosou Reito, who has completed the "Hound of the Baskervilles" scene, has already mastered most of the information in this game. If the general background remains unchanged, "Jack the Ripper" can hardly pose any threat to him.

Perhaps this is the reason why Noah's Ark eliminated Reito Hosou in a plot-killing way at the beginning.

"…Perhaps, I need to further confirm Hosho Reito's previous gaming experience."

Xiang Yuanguang murmured to himself, then looked at Furuya Ling and asked seriously.

"Mr. Amuro, do you have the contact information of the other three beta testers?"
