Chapter 740

Everyone looked toward the stage together.

The game pod opened, and a beautiful female model entered the pod to start the demonstration.

"This game machine stimulates the central nervous system through electricity, allowing it to control a person's five senses. Whether it's touch, pain, or smell, all sensations are very realistic, making the player feel as if they are in the real world, and it is completely harmless to the body."

"Is it really completely harmless?" Akaso Kaze narrowed his eyes.

Professor Agasa laughed dryly, "That's why a lot of effort was put into the technology; all kinds of extreme situations were considered during the development process."

"Please, Professor, you shouldn't have participated in the technical development part, right?"

Conan said from the side, staring with dead fish eyes.

"Well... haha." Professor Agasa scratched the back of his head in embarrassment.

Akaso Kaze knew about this incident, and it was only because there was no risk that he let Haibara Ai and Ayumi participate.

Moreover, he had a feeling that this Cocoon seemed to be of great use to him.

In an underground machine room of the City Hall, the silent environment filled with pipes was a completely different world from the one above; inside the machine room, there was only the sound of equipment running and the sound of water flowing in an aquarium.

This was the office of the game development lead, Kashimura Tadaki.

Kashimura Tadaki sat in a computer chair, looking at Thomas Schindler at the door, his expression calm: "Mr. Thomas, you're here?"

"Yes." Thomas Schindler nodded, his pale face and a pair of sinister eyes staring at Kashimura Tadaki.

"Mr. Kashimura, I have come as promised. Can you give me the DNA tracking system that Hiroki sent to you before he died now?"

"Of course, no problem." Kashimura Tadaki replied, then spoke.

"I can give you the DNA tracking system, but I hope Mr. Thomas, you can hold a press conference and apologize to Hiroki."

Thomas Schindler was stunned upon hearing this: "What?"

"I already know everything." Kashimura Tadaki looked at Thomas Schindler with both eyes.

"Two years ago, after Hiroki developed the DNA tracking system, he used your DNA to run a test and inadvertently discovered a huge secret—a secret sufficient to cause the Schindler Company to collapse."

"You were worried that Hiroki would reveal this secret, so you kept sending people to monitor him. In the end, Hiroki couldn't bear it anymore, and after developing the artificial intelligence 'Noah's Ark,' he jumped to his death. Am I right?"

Listening to Kashimura Tadaki's words, Thomas Schindler remained expressionless.

Kashimura Tadaki continued earnestly: "I am not interested in that secret, but now you must make everything you did to Hiroki public to the world."

"This is the condition for getting back the DNA tracking system. Can you do it?"

Thomas Schindler was silent for a few seconds before speaking softly: "No problem. Since you insist, then as you wish. However, I want to confirm if that system is real first."

"Okay." Kashimura Tadaki nodded.

He turned to look at the electronic equipment in front of him, took a disc out of his pocket, put it into the optical drive, clicked the mouse, and opened it. The computer screen was immediately filled with code.

Thomas Schindler stared at the content on the computer screen, his hands quickly putting on white gloves.

Then, his sleeve moved slightly, a short blade appeared in his hand, and he walked toward Kashimura Tadaki with a fierce look.

Kashimura Tadaki slid the mouse twice and turned around, preparing to let Thomas Schindler check, but saw Thomas Schindler holding the short blade, rushing to his front in a flash. The short blade hit his chest and abdomen directly.

Kashimura Tadaki let out an "uh," looking at Thomas with astonishment, unable to believe: "You, you, why, why?"

"Why?" Thomas Schindler's gaze was fierce, looking at Kashimura Tadaki through gritted teeth, letting out a sinister laugh.

"You said it yourself, that secret is enough to make my business empire collapse, so how could I let you live? As for apologizing to that brat Hiroki, that's even more impossible!" ===== CHAPTER 742 =====
