Chapter 742: It's too incredible!

"Chairman Schindler," Kudo Yusaku introduced, "this is Inspector Megure from the Metropolitan Police Department."

"Metropolitan Police Department?" Schindler said coldly, "What business do the police have with me?"

Before Inspector Megure could speak, the computer screen suddenly flickered, and a beeping alarm sounded in the control room.

"Chairman Schindler!" the staff member said nervously, "The system has an abnormality!"

"What?"

"There's no way to control it!"

Everyone's gaze swept over the out-of-control computer and looked at several display screens. Between the screen switches, one could clearly see the images of Conan, Haibara, Ayumi, and Sonoko sleeping in the game pods with their eyes closed.

"Excuse me!"

Professor Agasa stepped forward to help debug the computer, and suddenly a child's voice rang out in the venue.

"My name is Noah's Ark, and the Cocoon experiencing the simulation game has been controlled by me!"

"What is this?" Everyone listened to the voice echoing everywhere in confusion.

"What is Noah's Ark?" Inspector Megure asked Schindler, whose face had changed drastically.

Kudo Yusaku looked at Schindler, who was stunned, and took over: "I remember that's an artificial intelligence that can complete in just one year what it takes humans five years to grow, right?"

"That's right," Schindler came back to his senses, his voice low. "That was completed two years ago by Hiroki, whom I cherished like my own son. He should be the same age as Hiroki now."

Kudo Yusaku walked to the console area and asked as if treating a child: "Noah's Ark, what do you want to do by occupying the children's game?"

"My goal is to let the country of Japan start over."

The main screen displayed the children in the virtual space, a circular old platform surrounded by five unknown stone slab passages.

"This is a game involving the children's lives. If everyone is out, they will never be able to return to the real world. I will release special electromagnetic waves to destroy the players' brains."

"However, as long as one person reaches the finish line, you win. After that, all the children will be able to wake up."

"This is the game rule I decided. Do you understand?"

"What does it mean for Japan to start over?" Kudo Yusaku pressed on the console.

"The children of dirty politicians will only become dirty politicians. Doctors who only think about making money—their children will eventually become that kind of doctor."

"If you want to make Japan better, you must clear this phenomenon once and for all."

"Alright, the children can't wait, right? Let the game begin."

"The first stage is the Pirate World. Players will go to seven seas as pirates, challenging various adventures with strong will and courage."

"The second stage is the Paris-Dakar Rally. Participate with world-famous racers and strive for the championship in the harsh competition!"

"The third is the Ancient Roman Colosseum. Find powerful weapons and armor, then go to the Roman Empire to test everyone's skills and defeat the brave gladiators."

"The fourth is Solomon's Treasure. Everyone will play as treasure hunters looking for Solomon's treasure around the world."

"Then, the fifth is London a hundred years ago. Here, everyone will experience a thrilling suspense story. London in 1888, the serial murder case that has not been solved in the real world to this day—the murderer, Jack the Ripper. Rely on everyone's strength to bring him to justice."

【Ding, specific time point detected, casting Time-Space Travel Magic can enter.】

It really came!

Akaso Kaze's mouth curled up, and he turned to walk to a corner where no one noticed, casting space magic.

Game pod control room, Professor Agasa wiped the sweat off his face, trying hard to bring up the situation inside the game.

Just now, when he tried to contact Conan in the game to warn him, it seemed to have angered the artificial intelligence Noah's Ark, the connection was constantly disconnected, and the children were almost harmed.

"The game pod stores enough energy; it can indeed destroy the children's brains."

Professor Agasa looked at Conan's movements with a fat, serious face.

"In the game, as long as you get hurt or caught, you're out. It was originally set for difficulty, but it's too hard for children."

"Now we can only rely on Conan and the others. If they can see Sherlock Holmes... hmm?"

Professor Agasa was suddenly stunned.

"What's wrong?" Kudo Yusaku's eyes were bloodshot because his son had also entered the game, and any movement made him extremely nervous. "Is there any other problem?"

"It's too strange," Professor Agasa shook his head in confusion.

"There is an extra signal in the game; it seems a new player has entered the game. This is impossible; all 50 terminals are at the venue's display stand. How exactly did they connect to the game?"

Kudo Yusaku asked carefully: "Where is the signal?"

"In the Pirate World. I can't find the source. Could it be a loophole?"

Professor Agasa stared blankly at the signal flickering on the screen.

He had exhausted all his efforts just trying to contact Conan in the game, and now even the contact had been cut off by Noah's Ark.

A hacker? But what level of technology would it take to confront an artificial intelligence that dominates the game?

"It's really, too incredible."

Professor Agasa smacked his bearded mouth, somewhat speechless, but there was deep worry in his admiration.

"I hope it's not a malicious person, otherwise it will be troublesome."

He didn't think about it anymore and carefully observed the game Conan was in. ===== CHAPTER 744 =====
