Chapter 517 The situation has changed
"Big sis, are you a beta player of the Cocoon game? That's amazing. What is this game like?"

Conan asked in a low voice. If Xiang Yuanguang heard it, the hedgehog's spines would definitely stand on end. However, the girl did not notice Conan's disguise. She thought about it for a moment and then said.

"Because this is the game content that will be announced soon, it's okay for me to tell you. The Cocoon game consists of five game scenarios in total, representing five different game types."

"They are sword fighting game Roman Gladiators, macro strategy game Viking Pirates, puzzle game Solomon's Treasure, reaction racing game Dakar Rally, and logical reasoning game The Hound of the Baskervilles."

"The game I was responsible for testing was Solomon's Treasure. Although it is called Solomon's Treasure, it is actually a short story that has nothing to do with King Solomon himself."

The girl said, as if she had thought of something, and subconsciously touched her cat backpack.

"Originally there were only five beta testers, but one of the beta testers said that playing a game with one person was meaningless, so he convinced the operator to add his sister as a beta tester, so there were actually six beta testers."

"There should be only two or three of the internal test players returning this time..."

"Well, I feel like you're very special. What's your name?"

Hearing the girl's question, Conan briefly reviewed the information in his mind and said.

"My name is Edogawa Conan, big sister, what's yours?"

The girl replied softly.

"My name is Nanami Chiaki."

Click, click, click.

The continuous sound of shutter clicks interrupted the conversation. Under the introduction of developer Thomas Sindora, the famous writer Kudo Yusaku was surrounded by reporters, and many enthusiasts came to ask for his autograph.

Conan's gaze lingered on the particularly popular Kudo Yusaku for a moment, and then he set his sights on Thomas Sindra, the guy who was unanimously believed by his father and Xiang Yuan to be a bad guy, and had appeared.

So, that means... Xiang Yuan is already prepared at this time, how should he get rid of this guy?
At the same time, the database storage room.

Xiang Yuanguang leaned against the wall and yawned. He couldn't understand why Thomas Sindora hadn't come down yet. Could it be that Mr. Kudo forgot to mention Kashimura Tadaki to Thomas Sindora to deepen his impression of him?

He raised his head and looked at the surveillance camera installed on the wall. This was installed by him at the request of a public security officer who did not want to reveal his name. It could record everything going on here clearly.

As long as Thomas Sindra dares to take action at this time, he will be completely finished.

"Mr. Xiang Yuan, are you sure Thomas will come here? Will he really kill me for this?"

IT engineer Tadaki Kashimura, one of the nominal main developers of Noah's Ark, asked with some uneasiness.

Although he had been prepared to sacrifice his life against Thomas Sindor from the moment he knew that his son Hiroki Sawada's death was not suicide, this situation still made him a little uneasy.

Because Kashimura Tadaki felt that no matter how stupid Thomas Sindra was, he would never kill anyone at the launch conference of Cocoon Game. As long as he dared to do it here, it would be extremely difficult for Cocoon Game to expand its influence in this country.

In order to further develop his company, the other party imprisoned and forced to death his son Hiroki Sawada. Would he also take his life on the spot in this dangerous situation just because he might publish the DNA tracing results?
"Ah, that's right. Although I don't know why he would kill people just because of his background..." Xiang Yuanguang repeated what he said before.

"But there is no doubt that he would kill someone because of this. This is the reason why Hiroki Sawada died. It's just that Hiroki jumped off the building and committed suicide before Thomas Sindra could do anything."

Although, he couldn't understand the logic of jumping off a building to prevent himself from being killed. This was similar to the United States police shooting others to prevent them from committing suicide.

Without the two of them noticing, a small message popped up at the bottom of the computer screen, but it quickly disappeared, as if someone was eavesdropping on their conversation through the computer.

Of course, the person eavesdropping on the conversation might not be a human.

"This is Thomas Sindorra, the chairman of Sindorra Corporation. I am here to announce that the Cocoon Game will officially begin. Please ask viewers and game participants to go to the game hall and prepare to start the game."

The voice of Thomas Sindra was heard on the radio. Xiang Yuanguang frowned. He was not sure what was going on because in his impression, Thomas Sindra seemed to have killed someone before the cocoon game started.

That guy clearly already knew something about the DNA tracing system, but at this time he chose to leave Kashimura Tadaki alone and go host the opening ceremony of the cocoon game first?
Could it be that even the fact that he was lying in ambush here was within Thomas Sindra's expectations, or even that he had completely gained control of the authority of Noah's Ark and intended to use it to control the entire gaming venue?

(…Luckily I had a backup plan. As expected, the descendants of Jack the Ripper are not easy enemies to deal with. Not only did they notice the arrangement made by Mr. Kudo and I, but they even managed to turn the tables.)
Xiang Yuanguang took out his special walkie-talkie, turned it on, adjusted the channel, and then spoke.

"The situation may change. Please take necessary measures against Thomas Sindorra."

At this time, the blond male waiter in the exhibition hall... no, Furuya Rei raised his head, with some doubt in his eyes. This seemed to be the first time that Genkou's prediction had deviated.

Could it be that there is a problem with the other party's intelligence network, which is of unknown origin, unfathomable and impossible to investigate?
Walking through the crowd heading to the game hall, Rei Furuya quietly changed out of his waiter uniform and then went to the game control room. He wanted to control the game control room before the game started and thus restrict Thomas Sindra.

Since it might be impossible to convict Thomas Sindorla, he had to ensure the safety of these guests first. As a public security official, he had the power to decide when to obey the law and when to break it...

"…The situation is not what I expected."

Kudo Yusaku stood next to Conan at some point, which scared Conan. The world-famous novelist looked a little weird and he sighed.

"So this is the power of the [modern Jack the Ripper]?"

Conan typed a few question marks and was about to ask what was going on, but he saw Kudo Yusaku took out two props from his pocket and put them in Conan's hands. Conan opened his hands and looked, with some surprise in his eyes.

Because, what Kudo Yusaku gave him was the admission medal for the Cocoon game and the magatama that Xiang Yuanguang often wore!
"Tell Mr. Yuan that if you want to start the Cocoon Game, let me give you this magatama as a countermeasure in case of dangerous situations. It can help you stop this game."

"Okay, get moving, Shinichi. We don't have much time."

Kudo Yusaku left, leaving Conan holding the magatama in his hand in a daze.

...Why did Xiang Yuanguang say that this magatama can be used as a countermeasure in dangerous situations? Can it stop the game? How? EMP high-frequency pulse? It can't be that he called the dead developer out through the backdoor, right?
