Chapter 242

"Yay, yay!"

Conan looked at those children speechlessly and said:

"Thinking that those children will inherit their parents' businesses in the future and become leaders of Japan."

"The future is truly desperate!"

Ai Haibara chimed in:

"I feel the same way!"

These four little boys were actually playing soccer unscrupulously in the venue.

Without any regard for the feelings of the guests present.

They even deliberately attacked other people's heads while passing the ball.

"Hehe, give it to me!"

The four of them passed the ball to each other in the venue.

Disturbing the guests at the venue.

The ball flew in the direction of Hoshino Ki as they passed it.

"Ah! Ki! Watch out!"

Akemi Miyano let out a cry of surprise from the side.

Watching the ball about to hit Hoshino Ki's face.

"Bang!"

In the blink of an eye.

Hoshino Ki caught the soccer ball with one hand.

The four children had just chased after the ball.

"Give the ball back to us!"

The hedgehog-haired little boy looked up at Hoshino Ki!

Hoshino Ki lowered his head to look at the little boys who only reached his waist.

A terrifying dark aura was revealed in his pitch-black eyes.

Hoshino Ki held the ball in his hand, then moved his arm to reveal his face.

"You... you are!"

The little boys who were just acting unscrupulously were instantly stunned in place.

"Ah! He is that person!"

The little boy with the ponytail was suddenly startled.

"Big Brother Hoshino Ki!!"

They all shouted in unison.

The contempt in their eyes just now had completely disappeared.

All replaced by that look of admiration.

Clearly!

They were little fans of Hoshino Ki.

"Could you please give me your autograph?"

"I want one too, I want one too!"

"Then I also..."

"So cool!"

The little boys were all scrambling to search through their clothes.

"Damn it! These stinky brats!"

Kogoro Mouri stared at Hoshino Ki with eyes full of fire from the side.

Didn't expect today's children to be so realistic.

They don't like the "Sleeping Kogoro" who has solved countless cases.

But like a cold-faced Hoshino Ki who doesn't smile?

"Dad! Just give up!"

Ran Mouri could only try her best to comfort him from the side.

"Haha, speaking of which, Hoshino-kun is an incredible existence in the eyes of children now!"

Sonoko Suzuki boasted proudly from the side.

"Ah? What?"

Kogoro Mouri opened his eyes wide.

Full of confusion.

"Yeah, yeah! We also watch the news about Brother Hoshino!"

Mitsuhiko answered from the side:

"In our school, many boys are imitating Brother Hoshino!"

Ayumi also answered competitively:

"The girls also like Brother Hoshino very much!"

"Hehehe..."

Kogoro Mouri had an expression of being "attacked".

Finally, he lowered his head powerlessly.

"Are you looking for paper and a pen?"

Just at this moment.

A tall man with a serious expression walked over.

He handed the paper and pen in his hand to the little boys.

"Thanks! But... who are you, Uncle?"

The hedgehog-haired little boy took the paper and pen.

Then looked up at this man.

"I am the person in charge of the development of Cocoon! My name is Kashimura!"

"Playing soccer will affect other guests, if you want to play, go outside and play!"

The man looked very serious.

One could tell from his expression that he was not someone to be trifled with.

The appearance of this person directly challenged the self-esteem of the children.

Having been treated like young masters for years, no one had ever dared to talk to them like this.

The little boys all showed an angry look.

The chubby boy standing in the back said:

"Because my grandfather's bank helped you pay for it."

"So you were able to finish developing the game, right?"

Kashimura stared at these children with a serious face:

"It seems that your parents didn't teach you what public morality is."

"Also, how can you talk to your elders like this?"

The ponytail little boy opened his eyes wide and said:

"Hmph! So arrogant!"

The chubby boy also raised his fist from the side and said:

"I'll tell my grandfather not to lend you money!"

The little boy in the blue suit placed his hand on his chest.

Then said arrogantly:

"Uncle, have you forgotten who we are?"

The hedgehog-haired little boy said with a bad look:

"If you dare to go against us, you might have to go home and fend for yourself tomorrow!"

Kashimura didn't look afraid at all.

He stood in place with his hands clenched into fists.

The serious expression on his face remained unchanged:

"Then, before that, let me kick you out of here first!"

"Ah!"

The little boys were afraid after all.

They didn't even care about the autographs.

And left the center of the venue in a dejected manner.

"Wow! What a cool uncle, so cool!"

"But the coolest is still Hoshino-kun, catching the ball with one hand, it was so cool!"

Sonoko Suzuki hugged her arms and looked at Hoshino Ki with hearts in her eyes.

Then looked at Kogoro Mouri behind her speechlessly.

"Is this the legendary state of being inferior to the young and inferior to the old?"

"Ah, hey..."

Kogoro Mouri was hit again.

The whole person lowered his head like a wilted vegetable.

"Dear guests, please pay attention to the stage."

"Now! Mr. Yusaku Kudo, who is responsible for providing the stage ideas for the Cocoon game, has returned from the United States!"

Accompanied by the host's introduction and the applause of the audience.

Yusaku Kudo walked onto the stage and waved to everyone.

"Oh, finally back!"

Professor Agasa suddenly appeared from the crowd and came to everyone.

Conan immediately looked up after hearing Professor Agasa's voice:

"I was just wondering where you went for the whole month."

"So you went to work for my dad!"

Conan looked up with an innocent face.

Professor Agasa bent down slightly and looked at Conan with relief:

"I went to help him complete the final stage of the program!"

Conan turned around with a face full of hope:

"What about my mom?!"

Professor Agasa said patiently:

"She said she hadn't been back to Japan for a long time, so she went to attend a class reunion!"

"Here! A gift for you!"

Professor Agasa took out a badge from his pocket.

Conan took the badge with a calm face:

"Eh? This is... a badge to participate in the game!"

"Although I am very happy, I can't go play by myself!"

After saying this.

He turned his head to look at the Detective Boys playing on the side.

"I think! You will be addicted to it!"

"Although this is still a secret..."

Professor Agasa bent down and said in a low voice:

"The game is set in London at the end of the 19th century, 100 years ago!"

"London 100 years ago?!"

Conan looked helpless:

"Hehe, Dad hasn't changed at all, he still likes that era so much!"

"You father and son! Both the same!"

Professor Agasa straightened his waist and squinted his eyes.

Just at this time.

The lights in the venue dimmed.

Everyone in the venue looked up at the ceiling and surroundings in confusion.

"What's going on? Can't see anything!"

Kogoro Mouri stood up from the floor and looked around.

But while fumbling forward in the dark, he accidentally bumped into a guest.

That guest also apologized to Kogoro Mouri very politely:

"Ah, sorry!"

Kogoro Mouri was clearly a bit drunk.

He was holding a glass with a tipsy look.

Feeling very unhappy about the collision just now:

"What the! Seriously! Can you not walk around in the dark?"

A gorgeous and dazzling super-strong beam of light shone from above the stage.

A circular Cocoon rose from the beam of light.

Standing next to the Cocoon was a beautiful woman with excellent looks and figure.

"Now, please enjoy, this next-generation game machine, Cocoon!"

The host's voice sounded from the stage.

"This capsule controls the five senses of a person."

"Whether it's touch, pain, or smell."

"All sensations are very intimate."

"Players will be placed in this world, and it uses a system that stimulates the central nervous system through electricity."

"Completely harmless to the body!"

Hoshino Ki looked at the Cocoon on the stage.

His pitch-black pupils slowly sank.

In his previous life, no one had developed such a game machine in reality.

What kind of world is Conan's world?

It's not accurate to call it modern.

After all, modern times don't have such advanced technology.

Later there is Kaito Kid... magic?

And Conan has been on for so many episodes, it's said that only half a year has passed?

All of this cannot be explained by common sense...

"Just watching! So boring!"

Genta on the side hugged his head with both hands, looking bored.

"Games are better when you play them yourself!"

Mitsuhiko also looked envious.

"Oh! Everyone is here! To kill time!"

"I'll come up with a riddle!"

Professor Agasa walked over and suggested with great interest.

"Ah! It's starting again, the Professor's riddles are cold and boring."

Mitsuhiko turned his head and looked at Genta and Ayumi with disgust....
