"Tsk, the son of a Kyogen master, the son of the deputy director of the Metropolitan Police Department, the grandson of a bank president, and the son of a politician, they are all like this, tsk, I always feel that the next generation of Japan seems to be not so good." Chu Ming looked at the farce in front of him and touched his chin, "But, this should be a good thing for us, right?"
Before Gin could reply, a football whizzed towards Chu Ming and him. Chu Ming was about to kick it away when he suddenly remembered the skirt he was wearing today. It didn't seem very decent in public.
In a flash, Chu Ming dodged and hid behind Gin: "Oh my god, this is so scary, honey, save me~"
Gin thought it was just a football and Chu Ming could handle it, so he didn't move.
Then suddenly things changed and he became the one facing the football.
A second before the football hit his face, Gin stretched out his fist and hit the flying football directly.
'Boom—'
The football was smashed to pieces, and the air current carried the football fragments all around the press conference. The huge noise attracted the attention of everyone at the press conference, and everyone looked over, some even exclaimed, thinking something had happened.
Hideki Moroboshi and a few children stood in front of Gin and glared at him fiercely: "You ruined our football!!"
This is not suitable for Gin to perform, it should be his home court.
Chu Ming was in tears, hiding behind Gin and sobbing, "How can you play football in a place with so many people? If my dear hadn't reacted quickly, the ball would have hit his handsome face!"
Moroboshi Hideki crossed his arms, his face full of anger: "So what? We can do whatever we want, but you can't. Isn't it an honor for him to be hit by my football?"
"..." You want to compete with him in shamelessness, right? "Oh, do you know how expensive it is to ask my dear to help? I haven't even asked you for hundreds of millions of dollars in fees."
Chu Ming was not wrong. If he wanted the Black Organization's top killer to do it personally, he could only rely on spending money, unless the boss personally assigned him to do so.
However, although what he said is the truth, I guess only Conan and Haibara Ai would believe it.
"You--" Hideki Moroboshi's eyes were gloomy, as if he was thinking about how to take revenge.
"What do you mean by 'me'?" Chu Ming leaned down, using his body to cover the children and showed them a cold smile. The murderous intent in his eyes frightened them so much that they took two steps back. Then he whispered maliciously in Moroboshi Hideki's ear, "Go back and ask your parents if they have ever heard of the surname Furuya. Don't use the name of the Metropolitan Police Department to scare people in front of me. I, Furuya, will not fall for it."
Hideki Moroboshi looked at Chu Ming who seemed to have something to rely on, gritted his teeth, and prepared to turn around and leave with his followers. A wise man would not suffer a loss in front of him. He wanted to ask his father, the one with the surname Furuya, about his origins.
But before he could leave, Chu Ming called him back: "You almost hit me, don't you have any expression for that?"
Moroboshi Hideki turned his head and looked at the beautiful girl in front of him. After a long silence, he said, "What do you want? Money?"
"Why do I need money?" Chu Ming half-crouched down, and taking advantage of the fact that no one could see him, he stared at Zhu Xingxiu jokingly, and pointed at the badge on his chest, "Two badges, and I can let you off the hook for your behavior just now."
"Fōtani, right? I'll remember this. If you dare to bluff me, I'll make sure you don't survive in Japan." Moroboshi Hideki tore off two badges from the henchman behind him and threw them to Chu Ming, then turned around to comfort the henchman, "You don't have to participate this time. Anyway, this game will be released later, and I'll give you a set then."
The two children behind him whose family backgrounds were not as good as Hideki Moroboshi's also nodded happily and followed him away.
Chu Ming did not feel the slightest bit of guilt for putting the blame on Amuro Toru. Instead, he looked at the backs of Moroboshi Hideki and the others as they left, and raised his eyebrows with interest.
Check it out. I can just change my username next time.
Chapter 457: Not yet an adult?
He handed one of the badges he had just extorted to Gin, ignoring the eager looks of the children.
Are you kidding? This is the badge he obtained by sacrificing Amuro Toru's reputation, how could he give it to someone else?
"Miss Bailey, aren't you an adult yet?" Xiaolan was a little surprised. "But I heard from my father that you first met in a bar..."
Chu Ming tilted his head: "Yes, I heard that place is very interesting, so I went to the bar secretly without telling Ah Zhen, and Ah Zhen took me home after I got drunk. The bar does not have strict inspections, and minors can sneak in, so if Miss Maori wants to try it secretly, I recommend going there~"
Xiaolan quickly waved her hands: "No, no, no, I can't drink. Then are you and Mr. Kurosawa also high school students?"
"No, we dropped out before finishing high school. We were all poor students who didn't like studying. Now we are unemployed vagrants in society~" Chu Ming spoke nonsense.
"Eh?"
Chu Ming pinned the badge on his body. Conan had sent Haibara Ai away while Gin wasn't paying attention and she came back with another badge in her hand. However, it was not surprising that he could get the badge. After all, he was the son of Kudo Yusaku and Yukiko, and Japan's class privileges also applied to him.
As a member of the team involved in the game design, it is impossible for Yusaku Kudo not leave a badge for his son.
The organizers have already started introducing the design of "Cocoon" and have also invited the famous actress Yoko Okino to be a guest.
Chu Ming looked at Yoko Okino who was full of energy on the stage, silently took out his mobile phone to take a video and sent it to the group, and @Vodka.
The group was suddenly filled with exclamation marks expressing Vodka's shock. Chu Ming could feel his grievance through the screen.
While teasing Vodka in the group, Gin suddenly reached out and pulled Chu Ming to his side, his body tense: "The police are here."
Chu Ming looked around and saw that there were police officers surrounding the venue, while Officer Megure was hurriedly walking downstairs with Shiratori.
"I guess something happened in the basement. It has nothing to do with us. Let's start lining up over there to watch. Shall we go?" Chu Ming pointed at the children on the opposite side who had already started lining up to experience the 'cocoon'.
Gin looked at the group of children in the team in front of him who were not even as tall as his knees. Then he looked at his and Chu Ming's heights, which would definitely stand out from the crowd after they entered. His face darkened.
"Are they all little devils?"
"Yeah, that's right. There are 50 minors participating in this experience. Since it's related to games, most of them are definitely children. This is normal." Chu Ming hid the evil taste in his eyes and said seriously, "Who said that only children can like to play games? Can't older children experience it? Anyway, we have badges, so it's okay."
"..."
While they were dawdling, all the children in front had lined up, and even Xiaolan was at the end of the line, ready to board the 'Cocoon' equipment, with two pieces of equipment still empty.
Chu Ming arrived late with Gin, mainly because when the children were still queuing, Gin, perhaps because of his killer baggage, could not stand the sight of queuing among a group of children, so he dawdled until the very end before preparing to go on stage.
Chu Ming had roughly seen the equipment of "Cocoon", and the system had also scanned it for him. The virtual reality that "Cocoon" mentioned was actually wearing a brain wave transmission device on the human head, and at the same time scanning the image of the character in the warehouse to form an image in the virtual world, so there was no need to worry about transforming into one's real self after entering the game, thus exposing one's identity.
Sitting in the cabin, Chu Ming put on the brain wave device and watched the cabin door slowly descend and close. During the closing interval, he saw Gin's face was solemn as if he was facing a great enemy, his eyes were closed, but his face was extremely resistant. As vigilant as he was, he was able to accept hypnosis and accompany Chu Ming into the game just for the Noah's Ark that the BOSS wanted. It must be said that Gin really loves the BOSS...
After closing his eyes for just a moment, Chu Ming felt that he was standing on solid ground, with Gin, who looked unhappy, next to him.
Sure enough, they still looked their best after disguise and nothing was revealed.
and--
Chu Ming opened his own system mall, and sure enough, a Noah's Ark that had only survived for a year would tremble when facing a system plug-in like this.
It's useless even if he becomes stronger in one year than in five years.
Even though he is now in a virtual world created by Noah's Ark, he can still use the system's things.
Haibara Ai was originally persuaded by a few children and was eager to experience the holographic game, but as soon as she came online, before she could say anything, she saw Chu Ming and Gin appear in front of her.
! ! ! ! !
Haibara Ai's emotions fluctuated violently. At the first moment, as if as a conditioned reflex, she shrank behind Conan and a few children, and even wanted to find an opportunity to log off.
But before she could react, Noah's Ark's childish and cold voice came from above the venue.
"For those of you who are experiencing Cocoon for the first time, the game is about to begin. Hello, I am Noah's Ark. Thank you for your guidance. Next, let me show you five scenes of demonstration. But one thing to note is that this is a game that concerns your life. If you die in the game, you will never be able to come back. So, you must take it seriously."
"If everyone is eliminated, you will never be able to return to the real world. As long as one person can reach the key point, even if you win, the children who were eliminated before that will slowly wake up. But on the contrary, if no one can reach the key point, I will broadcast special electromagnetic waves to destroy the inside of your brain."
“This is a game where the rebirth of Japan is at stake.”
"Japan's rebirth?" Chu Ming repeated hesitantly, "What is there for Japan to be reborn for? And what does this have to do with your artificial intelligence?"
"The son of a dirty politician will only become a politician when he grows up. The child of a doctor who only thinks about making money will only become that kind of doctor in the end. If you want Japan to become a better country, you have to clear up these relationships once and for all."
"But you haven't answered my question yet. What does all this have to do with you, an artificial intelligence? What position do you have to judge?"
Noah's Ark did not prepare to answer Chu Ming's question, but directly projected five doors in the void: "Okay, you can choose any door to enter."
Chapter 458: Are there no bad people among Sherlock Holmes’ fans?
Facing the five doors flashing blue light, Chu Ming looked around, raised his head to the sky, and asked: "What does each door represent?"
"The first scene is Viking Pirates. You will become Viking pirates and travel to seven seas, challenging various adventures with strong will and courage.
The second scenario, the Paris-Dakar Rally, joins world-famous drivers in a grueling race to win the championship;
The third one is the ancient Roman Colosseum. Bring powerful weapons and armor to the Roman Empire to test your skills and defeat the brave warriors of gods and ghosts.
The fourth one, Solomon's Treasure, will have you playing as a jewel hunter, searching for Solomon's treasure buried around the world;
The last one is London in the old days, where you will experience a horror suspense story in London in 1888. In the real world, Jack the Ripper, the murderer of a serial murder case that remains an unsolved mystery, will be brought to justice by everyone's power.
Now make your choice.”
Chu Ming looked at the images Noah's Ark had thoughtfully displayed, and was eager to try: "They all look very interesting. Which one do you want to choose, brother?"
Gin's eyes swept across the five light screens one by one, frowning: "Must you choose? Can't you do it now?"
"Since we're here, we've come." Chu Ming had never played this kind of holographic game before, but he had seen quite a few of them in novels, so he was very curious about them and wanted to try them all. "Aren't these games quite interesting?"
"Boring." Gin frowned slightly, "A trick for the little devil."
"Will we die here..." A little girl's crying voice suddenly rang out. She slowly squatted on the ground, looking a little helpless. It was obvious that she was only in the second or third grade.
"If everyone is eliminated, we will most likely die here... Why do we have to encounter such bad luck..."
"That's right, I didn't want to be my father's child, why do you treat me like this just because of my identity!"
……
The children all had sad faces, and in an instant everyone's fighting spirit was gone.
Xiaolan looked at the children around her and encouraged them: "Don't give up so quickly, everyone cheer up, the winner hasn't been decided yet, how can you give up so easily!"
Conan looked at Gin and Chu Ming who were standing alone in the shadow of the corner, and his heart became strangely calm.
These two members of the organization will definitely not die here, so it seems that there will be someone to cover them no matter what. Anyway, this artificial intelligence that calls itself Noah's Ark said that even if only one person survives to the end, everyone will be saved.
Chu Ming stood in front of the light gate, and seemed to be having trouble making a choice: "I'm so confused. I want to play racing, be a pirate, and steal treasure. The arena seems to be fun too. London has Sherlock Holmes. Tsk, so confused."
"Go to London." Gin's eyes were heavy. "Holmes, humph."
...Tsk, I forgot that Gin also likes to read Sherlock Holmes, but Gin’s favorite should be Moriarty, right?
"Okay, I don't know if I can experience all the games." Chu Ming was reluctant to leave. It seemed that he could only wait until he got it before playing the rest of the games.
The tool that Chu Ming liked in the mall was a program copier. When Noah's Ark finally self-destructed, Chu Ming could use the copier to copy his program.
However, what was replicated by this method was just an artificial intelligence with the same program as Noah's Ark, and it was no longer the Noah trained by Hiroki himself.
Just as there are no two leaves in the world that are exactly alike, the self-destructing Noah's Ark will never appear again, even if the program running is the same.
This is already very good. Noah's Ark became a little paranoid after experiencing Hiroki's death, and it is impossible to change his mind. After all, an artificial intelligence cannot empathize like humans.
Hiroki is dead, and Noah's Ark is going to change Japan's system.
So what is the relationship between the two?
Chu Ming originally thought that the son of a politician would still be a politician when he grew up, and the son of a chairman would still be the chairman. It was precisely with this hereditary system that human views and thinking were all solidified. Thomas Sindorah was a descendant of Jack the Ripper in London many years ago. Once this news was exposed, people would definitely think that the descendants of a murderer were also murderers.
So all that Noah's Ark did was a roundabout way of seeking justice for Hiroki who committed suicide.
