Leader Zai and Despair Raids the World

It seems that there is a sound coming from far to near.

"...Hey,...you...you little brat!!"

With a "bang", he was knocked on the head again.

Conan covered his head and yelled: "It hurts?! What the hell are you doing! Suzuki Sono, uh, Sonoko-san!!"

Getting hit on the head for the second time in one day, even Conan, who was used to it, was a little annoyed.

In front of him, Suzuki Sonoko lowered her head with her hips crossed like before getting into the car, and said a little bluntly, "Being distracted while reasoning is obviously the fault of you brat!" She plausibly said:

"Look, the corpses are getting impatient!"

...that sentence is absolutely true.

Forced to lie on the back of the chair in the plaza in an aggrieved posture, this "Mr. Corpse" was extremely sad, and had already started winking at them.

Edogawa Conan: "……………"

In an instant, he became a half-moon eye, full of troughs and mouths.

What can I do?After all, this is just a detective game, and it's better than a real corpse.

Moreover, the fundamental purpose of Thomas Schindler's cooperation with the Suzuki Express—and the Suzuki consortium behind it—is to sell his own IT products and make a comeback for the bankrupt company.

This detective game is essentially a virtual reality adventure game under the control of artificial intelligence, but it is multiplayer participation and detective elements are added to it.

What's more, the passengers boarding this train are all customers, even gamers.Among them are real detective fans, and even children who are interested in detective games. The whole game is naturally aimed at all ages, completely avoiding real blood and death scenes.

Passengers who get the "killer" identity card will get a stamp like a child's toy at the same time.

This seal naturally symbolizes the "killing weapon". Under the supervision of artificial intelligence, if it is stamped on the arm, it means that the opponent's arm has lost consciousness.At the same time, the artificial intelligence that hypnotizes the passenger's five senses will make the arm immobile.

In the same way, if the cover is at the deadly place, the couple has already been killed by the "killer", and the whole person falls on the spot and waits for the "detective" to find the crime scene.

After the case is solved, the passenger can go to the rest area to relax, watch the live broadcast of the survivors, and express his excitement.

In addition to "killers", there are "civilians".

"Civilians" naturally have no weapons, and there is no way to take away the "killer"'s weapons.

However, the "civilian" can not only help the "detective" to solve the case, but also the "killer" can put the seal on something at hand, and the thing that gets the seal, such as a book, a plastic knife, a fishing line , it becomes a "one-time killing weapon", at this time "civilians" can disguise their identities and transfer to the "killer" camp.

As for "Detective", in the context of nineteenth-century London, a small pipe was naturally distributed as a symbol.

After the "detective" discovers the crime scene, he only needs to speak out his reasoning.If the reasoning process and result are correct, a white mist will be sprayed from the pipe as a reminder.

The rules of the whole game are so simple. After the specified time is up, whichever camp has the most surviving people wins.

In addition, there are also individual awards, such as the "killer" who kills the most, the "civilian" who deceives the two camps the most times, the "detective" who solves the most cases, and so on.

Conan: "..."

What kind of 'Sherlock Holmes game' is this!It is a massively multiplayer interactive game!

Aside from finding quite a few easter eggs on the Victorian London scene (and 221B Baker Street), well, he doesn't care!

…Taking it all back, this guy actually had a good time.

It's a pity that Conan's luck this time was not good, and he failed to win the role of "Detective".

And Suzuki Sonoko slapped him on the head again, the boy in a blue suit and red tie raised his head and squinted his eyes to complain:

"Then solve the case yourself, detective."

The only "detective" in this group folded his arms and looked up to the sky and laughed loudly when he heard the words, "Of course! Hahahaha! Look at my 'Queen of Reasoning' skills!!!"

Having said that, Suzuki Sonoko finished laughing, and added another sentence depressingly:

"...When I suddenly fall asleep, I will naturally show you my true abilities!"

Edogawa Conan holding a hypnotic watch: "Hehe." ==

Isn't that the case I solved behind your back? !

Seeing that her friend was having a fight with the boy who was staying at home, Mao Lilan, who was standing aside to help explore, smiled and skillfully smoothed things over, "Okay, Yuanzi..."

The girl with a gentle personality lowered her head and looked at Conan again: "What about you? Did you find anything, Conan?"

She also sighed, "Well, it's a pity that Shiliang suddenly saw something and went to the other side. If Shiliang is here, maybe he can find some clues?"

This sentence is true.Even Conan admits: this Sera Masumi, who suddenly transferred to Teidan High School, does have quite excellent reasoning skills.Even he doubted the identity of the other party for a long time.

"Hey—Conan! We're back!"

Across the simulated street, several children from the Detective Boys shouted loudly and ran towards here.

"Here! Conan, what you need~" Yoshida Ayumi said happily.

"As you said, I found it on the other side of the street!" Tsuburaya Mitsuhiko was also very happy.

"Speaking of which, Conan, what do you want old newspapers for?" Kojima Motota asked enthusiastically.

"Of course the case has been solved." Hui Yuanai said softly, and walked here with the children.

This essential scientist always speaks so calmly and rationally, as if no matter what happens, she can't break her seemingly cold surface.

But spending such a long time with these innocent, warm and lovely children melted even the ice.What's more, what about Hui Yuanai who is willing to consider for others?

Saying this, Hui Yuanai glanced around as usual.

Just one glance, the girl's calm expression was broken!

"Over there!!" Hui Yuanai almost broke his voice in horror! "Danger,--!!!"

"!!" Conan looked back, and his face changed!

That is, the backside of the fountain in the square.

The distance from the square bench here happens to be the opposite corner of the cube.

If Hui Yuanai hadn't just walked over from the street, he would never have been able to see the scene there.

There, with his back to everyone, was sitting a small figure in a white suit.

In front of the young child, there was a powerful adult man holding up the weapon in his hand.

"Get out of here—!!" Conan yelled immediately, and rushed towards the fountain at the same time!

hateful!Why can't the power shoes invented by Dr. Ali be used in the game! ! !

Conan was so anxious that his heart almost jumped out of his throat!

Mao Lilan's reaction was a bit slower, but after all, as the champion of women's karate competition, she was much faster than the children.

"stop--!"

With a loud shout, Mao Lilan rushed forward, clenched his fists, and kicked!

"..."

late.

The adult man's weapon has fallen.

landed on his own throat.

——He killed himself.

The toe kicked by Mao Lilan happened to pass him by.

The man landed heavily on the ground, and a fluorescent red mark lit up on his throat, which was the sign of artificial intelligence judging his "death".

"..."

"..."

The people who were panting and chasing after them couldn't recover for a moment.

Little children sat on the edge of the fountain.

Pure white suit, fluffy black hair.

The left eye was wrapped in a bandage, and the only exposed pupil was a look that seemed to be interesting, but also tired of everything. *

He was looking down at his fingertips, and even a grown man raised a weapon at him, but he couldn't change his posture.

Now that he realized who was coming, he raised his head instead.

——This is Osamu Dazai.

Dazai is not the only one here.

At the child's feet, the wreckage of six people rolled down.

Obviously it was just an overly realistic virtual reality game, but these "corpses" were completely different from the "corpse" who was still trying to make faces even though he was dead.

Someone's face was pale, someone's pupils constricted, and someone's face was covered with snot and tears.

Even in the air, it seemed that the final scream was frozen. *

If you look again, you will find that:

The child does not have any weapons in his hands.

On the contrary, the six people who fell to the ground died, even if they were "dead", their fingers were holding "sharp weapons" of different shapes as if they were stiff.

Like, that's the only way to feel at ease.

——But even so, six people still died.

Even if he has "dead", he still harbors the deepest and most terrifying fear.

In such a scenario, it is hard not to ask the last sentence:

'——Did you kill this? '

Finally someone spoke.

"Dazai?!" Conan asked.

"It's you?!" Molly asked.

After the two finished speaking, they looked at each other at the same time.

"You know him?!" Conan asked.

"You know him?!" Mao Lilan asked.

???

Confusion popped out of his head like a question mark.

Huiyuan Ai went around a "corpse" on the ground, and tugged at Dazai: "Come here. Don't stay in this place for too long."

Looking at the children with their mouths wide open, Dazai blinked.

With such a movement, the sense of burnout that seemed to be tired of everything just now, and the sense of strangeness that made people subconsciously dare not approach quickly dissipated like a mist under the sun.

He didn't say anything, and obediently—indifferently—followed Hui Yuan Ai to the bench where they were just now.

Within a few minutes, Conan, Mao Lilan, and Suzuki Sonoko also came back.

Suzuki Sonoko held the pipe that symbolized "Detective" and was trying to spray white mist outward.

"Case solved," said Conan curtly. "It wasn't murder. It was suicide."

After saying this, the children who had been inexplicably shocked just now breathed a sigh of relief, and finally dared to openly look at this very good-looking peer who seemed to be in poor health.

Conan wanted to say something, he opened his mouth, his eyes were very complicated, and finally he closed his mouth.

He sullenly took the old newspaper to the bench, cracked the case, and watched "Mr. Corpse" finally free and rushed to the rest area.

very good. The "corpse" vacated the seat, and the two girls and a group of children sat down.

Dazai sat between them, with a slight smile on his face.

"...You, what's your name?" Yoshida Ayumi mustered up the courage to ask.

"Osamu Dazai."

He answered.

"Eh, eh?" Tsuburaya Mitsuhiko tilted his head and thought desperately, "This name..."

The expressions of the two female high school students also became complicated: "This name..."

Hui Yuanai actually interjected at this moment: "It's his real name."

This girl who always seemed cold and not gregarious when she was not talking, actually took the initiative to defend 'Osamu Dazai' for the second time today.

This surprised everyone, and made Conan Edogawa sigh secretly.

"Huihara and I passed by last time, and found that Dazai was almost poisoned by carbon monoxide in the car, so we met." Conan revealed part of the truth, hiding the part related to the men in black organization, and turned to Mao Lilan worriedly: "How did you know each other?"

When asked this sentence, Conan was terrified, afraid of hearing some terrible news.

Sonoko Suzuki tilted his head, "It's us who are going to give away game identity cards together."

Her focus is always on her face, and she confirmed to Mao Lilan: "There are three handsome guys, right, Lan?" The eldest lady of the Suzuki family smiled, "Although one of them is a bit fierce..."

three? !

Conan's heartbeat almost stopped.

There are actually three members of the organization? ! !

He opened his eyes and looked at Dazai, and Dazai always disdained lying, so he gave Conan a small smile.

Conan almost held his heart, and asked in a trembling voice: "Then, what about these three, big brother?" He thought desperately, making his way of obtaining information seem natural, "Why are you alone now?"

Dazai replied without hesitation, "Two are going to do the mission, and the other one is out."

Out? !what's out?What kind of exit? !The one with a headshot is out! ! !

Conan almost jumped up on the spot!

At the same time, Haibara Ai grabbed Dazai's right arm.

She was so nervous that her voice was tense, and she couldn't hide her concern for Dazai anymore.

"Come with us!"

Hui Yuanai pleaded:

"It's too dangerous for you alone!!"
