Chapter 514: Cocoon Game Public Beta Venue

—————June 9, 8:30 p.m.——————

—————Tokyo, Cocoon Game Public Beta Venue——————

In the Conan world where smartphones are not yet popular, holographic simulation infiltration games are definitely a groundbreaking thing. If you don’t see it with your own eyes, others will never believe that it really exists.

However, Sindra Corporation did bring out this epoch-making technology, and used the actual product to convince local officials in Tokyo to use the municipal building in Beika-cho as the public beta site for the Cocoon game.

"...The fact that they were able to borrow the municipal building in Beika Town to host a game public beta test is beyond my previous assessment of the absurdity of this world."

After parking the car outside the municipal building, Xiang Yuanguang glanced at the expensive luxury cars in the parking lot, which made the civilian car he was using seem a little bit inferior.

However, he didn't buy a car for show, but simply for the convenience of travel. There is no point in worrying about these things, because even if he cares about these things, he doesn't have extra money to buy a car...

"Xiang Yuan, have you ever asked which floor of the Municipal Building the public beta test site for the Cocoon game is on?"

The female detective next to him suddenly asked. This sudden question stunned Xiang Yuanguang. He didn't quite understand what Koshimizu Nanatsuki meant until he shifted his gaze from the luxury cars nearby to the overall view of the municipal building.

Apart from anything else, as one of the municipal buildings in the world's largest metropolitan area, the Tokyo metropolitan area, its specifications cannot be underestimated. A rough count shows that it probably has more than thirty floors.

Xiang Yuanguang's face darkened, he put his hand on the hilt of the Demon Hunting Sword he brought with him, and spoke seriously.

“I feel like touring the municipal building floor by floor is more in line with who we are as detectives.”

"Where did you come from, you half-baked detective..."

Nanatsuki Koshimizu sighed. She knew that Genkou was the kind of person who only remembered the main situation and ignored the specific details. The Beika Town Municipal Building has a total of 45 floors. She searched up one floor at a time...

Well, I hope they can find the public beta venue of Cocoon Game safely before being kicked out of the municipal building by the staff of the municipal building.

The sound of a car door being pushed open was heard not far away. Xiang Yuanguang and Koshimizu Nanatsuki's eyes fell on the place where the sound came from at the same time, and then they saw a familiar-looking person walking out of the back door of a luxury car.

Seeing this man's appearance, Genkou and Nanatsuki Koshimizu looked at each other subconsciously, and then shook their heads at the same time.

As the only heir to the Arita Zaibatsu, Arita Ryosuke leisurely stepped out of the luxury car. His heart was filled with joy at bidding farewell to the boring study time, and he was also looking forward to the upcoming social event.

When the last diplomat murder case happened, he had just finished his confinement study period, and then he received a subpoena from the Beika Town Court. As a result, thanks to this subpoena, he was sent back to confinement study again.

Now, it was said that the famous United States information technology company, Syndorra, was going to bring the holographic infiltration game to the market in this country, and for this purpose it had convened a public beta test meeting for the game attended by celebrities from all walks of life.

Arita Ryosuke took this opportunity to escape the torture of confinement and study. Following the old man's words to "see the world", he headed north and came to the Beika Town Municipal Building with an invitation. "It's just a game conference, I don't believe there will be any trouble! People may be unlucky, but they can't be unlucky all the time! I don't believe that there are people causing trouble every day in Beika Town!"

The eldest son of the Arita family spoke viciously to the bodyguard. The black-clad bodyguard next to him wanted to say something, but thinking of the extremely unlucky luck of the young master Arita, he wisely chose to keep silent.

After all, if they said that Ryosuke Arita would have a turn for the better, and if something went wrong at the game conference, they would be in trouble. If they said that Ryosuke Arita would be unlucky again, wouldn't the result be the same?
So, sometimes, not speaking is a wise choice.

"That's right, Arita, you're absolutely right. People may be unlucky, but they can't be unlucky all the time!"

Suddenly, a familiar voice sounded behind Arita Ryosuke. Arita Ryosuke subconsciously turned his head to look at the place where the voice came from. When he saw the other person's hedgehog head clearly, he couldn't help but remain silent.

Although theoretically, Arita Ryosuke felt that his good brother should have nothing to do with his bad luck, but considering that every time he came out and met his good brother, he would inevitably go back to be locked up...

He reached into his dress pocket and took out the invitation. There was some hesitation in his eyes, as if he was thinking about whether he should just throw the invitation away and go home.

Even though I will be scolded by the old man if I go back, it is better to be scolded than to be locked up for another half a month, right?
"What are you doing? We are biological brothers with different fathers and different mothers!"

As soon as Xiang Yuanguang saw the invitation letter that Arita Ryosuke had just taken out and the hesitant expression on the other party's face, he took a step forward and came in front of Arita Ryosuke before the bodyguards could react.

Mr. Blue Sonic quickly grabbed Arita Ryosuke's hand so that he couldn't throw away the invitation in his hand, and then said with great sorrow.

"Do you think there are gods of disaster or misfortune in this world? Do you think Beika Town is a place where vicious incidents happen frequently? You have to believe in science, Arita. Science is the only answer to this world!"

“…Is that so?”

But haven’t you always claimed that you are a wind magician and that you can read minds and perform wind magic?

Arita Ryosuke stood there in a daze, not knowing what to say for a moment. The black-clad bodyguard next to him was horrified, thinking that his job might be gone today, and hurriedly stepped forward to separate Genko and Arita Ryosuke.

Looking at the vigilant looks of the black-clad bodyguards, Xiang Yuanguang coughed twice, but decided to keep their jobs. He took two steps back before continuing.

"Anyway, Arita, I'm here to participate in the public beta test of the Cocoon game as well. Why don't we go up together? With me here, are you still worried about running into danger and getting locked up again?"

Watching the scene of the blue hedgehog fooling the good young man, Nanatsuki Koshimizu who was standing behind couldn't help but sigh, thinking that the world is really going downhill these days, people's hearts are not as they used to be, even the guardian deity has started to fool people.

After a while, Arita Ryosuke's recognition of science overcame his fear of metaphysics. In the end, he agreed to Genkou's request and took the two of them to the floor where the public beta of the Cocoon game was held.

In the elevator, the good young man still felt something was not right, because he remembered that Xiang Yuanguang was not the kind of person who liked to join in the fun. It was he who invited Xiang Yuanguang to the Silver Star last time. Why did he come to this public meeting uninvited?
(Could it be that there is something special about this public beta test of the Cocoon game? That's impossible. Beika Town shouldn't be that dangerous... Let's wait and see.)
Arita Ryosuke pondered secretly.

(If I am put in solitary confinement again, I will have to investigate the surrounding situation first next time I go out with Xiang Yuan.)
