Comprehensive Manga: The Master is not here today

Chapter 234: Surrender, Noah’s Ark, sudden change

"Surrender yourself?"

After receiving the report, Mumu Shisan, who was originally responsible for maintaining order downstairs, rushed to the venue with his people and came to the central console of the game 'Cocoon' where the reporter was located.

At this time, the programmers who monitor the game are working in an orderly manner. On the sofa behind the staff, Sindora, Tadayoshi Kashimura, Yusaku Kudo and Dr. Agasa are sitting.

Megure Thirteen did not expect to see Kudo Yusaku and Dr. Agasa here, and was a little surprised.

But after calming down, he still turned his attention to Sindora sitting in the middle and asked:

"Chairman Sindora, I am the Thirteenth Police Officer of the Metropolitan Police Department. I heard you say on the phone just now that you want to surrender? What's going on?"

The center console is located on a high platform at the very back of the exhibition. Through the transparent glass window, you can see the projection wall in the exhibition hall, which will project images from the game.

Sindora stared intently at the projection that had no picture yet. After hearing Mumu Shisan's question, she slowly looked at him and said in a deep voice:

"I'm the one who's going to turn myself in."

"But before I explain everything, I hope to watch this game conference first."

"This"

Mu Mu Shisan suddenly felt very embarrassed.

To be honest, as the emperor of the IT industry and the chairman of Sindora Company, the word "surrender" seems far removed from the other party.

When he received the report, he thought he had heard wrongly.

As a result, the other party now admits to surrendering, but at the same time refuses to explain the crime immediately. Coupled with the other party's special status, it really makes him feel a little confused.

But just when he was thinking about how to deal with it, the lights in the control center suddenly flickered. The next moment, the staff in front of the operation desk suddenly shouted in panic:

"Chairman Sindora, there is an abnormality in the system and it has become uncontrollable!"

"what?"

Several people were stunned when they heard this, and then quickly looked at the closed game warehouse on the stage of the exhibition hall. The expressions of Tadahina Kashimura and others changed on the spot.

If the system really goes out of control, the situation of these children will be in danger!

"let me see!"

So Dr. Ali ignored the detailed explanation and quickly sat down at the operating table and began to check the system.

But at this moment, a very young electronic synthesized sound suddenly sounded from the broadcast in the entire exhibition hall——

"My name is Noah's Ark, and the game can't be stopped."

"The simulation experience game 'Cocoon' has been occupied by me."

"?!!"

Hearing the other party's self-identification, Sindora's pupils shrank, and she fell into silence again. Mumu Shisan asked with some doubts:

"Noah's Ark, what is that?"

He knew about Noah's Ark in mythology, but he thought that the other party was not that kind of thing.

Kudo Yusaku had some understanding of this. He looked at the person in charge of game development this time and was also his college friend Tadayoshi Kashimura, and asked:

"I remember, that is the artificial intelligence that claims to be able to complete five years of human growth in just one year, right?"

"Yes."

However, it was not Tadahin Kashimura who answered him, but Sindora. He spoke as if talking to himself:

"That was the design completed by Hiroki, who I love as my own son, two years ago."

"In other words, it's as big as Hiroki now."

Mentioning the name Hiroki, Officer Megure finally said suddenly:

"Did it turn out to be the invention of that genius boy Hiroki? I remember."

Halfway through, he suddenly realized that two years ago, the genius boy committed suicide by jumping off a building due to depression, which caused quite a sensation at the time.

The chairman of Sindora in front of him was Hiroki's adoptive father. It was obviously not polite to mention this matter in front of him.

However, Sindora seemed to be aware of Mumu Shisan's thoughts, his face became a little painful, and his voice became deeper, and he replied:

"No, committing suicide due to depression is not the truth behind Hiroki's death." "He finally chose to commit suicide under my constant pressure."

"what?!"

Regarding Sindora's sudden confession of crime, Mumu Shisan's eyes widened in shock, somewhat unbelievable.

However, Kudo Yusaku seemed to have known about this matter for a long time, so he was not too surprised.

He looked at Dr. Ali who was working frantically in front of the operating table. Judging from the beads of sweat on his forehead, he knew that the current situation did not seem optimistic.

So he stepped forward and asked at the screen on the console:

"Noah's Ark, what do you want to do by occupying children's games?"

Soon, Noah's Ark answered his question——

"My purpose is to make Japan a new country!"
-

After entering the game, Conan felt his eyes go dark. When his vision became clear again, he found that he and other children were on an empty platform.

There was a light above where they were standing, like a spotlight, and the surroundings were pitch black, making it difficult to see the distance.

"This is virtual reality, simulating the five senses."

Conan looked down at his hands and shook them hard. He felt that there was almost no difference in the real world, which made him feel a little shocked by technology.

"Conan-kun!"

"Sister Xiaolan, everyone"

There was a call not far away, and Conan turned to look. Mao Lilan and several other members of the Young Detective Team came towards him.

At this time, the little ones were all very excited and couldn't wait to discuss it as soon as they met.

Ayumi Yoshida said excitedly:

"Our bodies are still lying in the game room, but we can move freely here, as if we were dreaming!"

"And it will hurt if you slap your face hard. It's so powerful!"

Moto Kojima slapped his cheek hard, looked surprised, and spoke inarticulately.

"Freedom? I'm afraid it's the opposite, right?"

Hui Yuan Ai's tone was calm, but the words he spoke were extremely terrifying, saying:

"Sight, smell, touch, hearing, taste, all senses are controlled by the system. This can be said to be a more complete imprisonment than prison."

"what"

Except for Moto Kojima who was really frightened, everyone else showed speechless expressions.

By now, they are almost used to Haihara Ai's occasional bad taste.

At this time, Mao Lilan looked around again and murmured:

"Speaking of which, where are Bo Dao and the others?"

Although she was not very familiar with those children, since they were children of Fujimaru Ritsuka's family, she thought that if possible, she would try to take care of them.

At the same time, Conan also subconsciously began to scan the crowd, looking for their figures.

Although everyone is a child, and most of the people who can experience the game are children from rich families, their temperament is obviously different from ordinary people.

But for some reason, even so, those children were quite outstanding in his eyes.

Therefore, without much effort, he spotted their figures almost instantly. At the same time, he also quickly discovered what was unique about them.

Most of the children present at this time showed emotions such as curiosity, excitement, and fear in this situation, but Nursery Rhymes and others behaved a little strangely, as if they were wondering about something.

But before he could continue to observe, suddenly, a colorful halo appeared above everyone's heads, and then five more stone gates appeared, surrounding them in the middle.

At this time, a very young electronic synthesized sound sounded——

"Welcome to all of you who are experiencing 'Cocoon' for the first time, the game is about to begin."

　Come spicy!
