Chapter 312

Originally, his interest in the so-called real virtual game was really not big. After all, for others, the virtual sensory game "Cocoon," which could control the five senses and experience activities like reality, was indeed quite novel.

But for Shengzai, this kind of virtual reality game had no freshness at all.

Don't forget, Shengzais could share abilities and memories, and in the *Sword Art Online* world, the *Sword Art Online* Shengzai had stayed in the so-called virtual reality game world for a full two years.

Using "Cocoon" to go to 19th-century London to find the murderer Jack the Ripper, Shengzai originally had little interest, and he even planned to give the experience badge to others.

After all, he had already shown off enough before, so the remaining opportunities to act cool should be left to the "Death God" elementary school student.

But what Shengzai didn't expect was that Sonoko, who originally shouldn't have entered "Cocoon," was now following in to join the fun.

According to the content of the original plot, Hiroki's consciousness, which relied on the artificial intelligence "Noah's Ark," because he couldn't bear it, ultimately gave Conan and the others a hint, allowing them to survive.

But plot is plot, and now is now. The original Sonoko wouldn't have entered the game world of "Cocoon." Who could guarantee whether other accidents would happen?

So after hesitating for a moment, Shengzai ultimately followed Conan and, with the help of the staff, sat into the device of "Cocoon."

No way. If it were someone else, Shengzai could choose to stand by and let Conan solve the problem.

But Suzuki Sonoko was his "cheap" sister, and she had been nothing but good to him since he was small. Even if there was the slightest risk, Shengzai had to ensure her absolute safety.

When fifty experience participants entered "Cocoon" and it was officially started, forty-eight children, including the two high school girls Ran and Sonoko, were all gathered in an open space.

Then, as expected, the artificial intelligence "Noah's Ark," which claimed to represent Hiroki's consciousness, appeared and directly seized control of the game.

【I am "Noah's Ark," and now I want to play a game with you. "Cocoon" has a total of five scenes, and you can choose any one of the game scenes to play.

If the game fails, the "Cocoon" you are in will enter a dormant state, and if all fifty people fail to pass the game in the end, then I will use "Cocoon" to destroy all of your brain tissues.

In other words, this contest is about the rebirth of this country. I hope you are prepared accordingly.】

Hearing the words of Noah's Ark, many parents at the venue were suddenly anxious and hurriedly tried to go on stage to reach their children.

A game that was about to gamble with lives was simply too ridiculous. The children participating in this contest were generally only around ten years old.

The only two who could be considered adults were just two high school girls. How could they bet their children's lives on that slim possibility!

However, just when those parents came to the stage where "Cocoon" was installed and wanted to forcibly open the device, a powerful electric current instantly repelled them all.

【Regarding this game, you have no right to refuse, and if you use violence without authorization again, I will immediately destroy the brain tissues of these children.】

Hearing the warning from "Noah's Ark," the parents at the venue, because they were afraid of harming the children, no longer dared to act rashly.

"What do you mean by deciding the rebirth of this country! What is your purpose?

If you want money, or anything else, I can satisfy you, as long as you are willing to let go of my two children."

Tomoko Suzuki was also one of the parents who just rushed onto the stage, and now, after being repelled by the electric current, she also looked extremely worriedly at the "Cocoon" containing Shengzai and Sonoko, and negotiated with the so-called "Noah's Ark."

【Wealth is completely useless to an artificial intelligence like me.

Looking at your current appearance, presumably the children of corrupt politicians will only become corrupt politicians.

The children of doctors who only want to accumulate wealth will only become such doctors. To make this country better, one can only cut off this connection at once.】

And when hearing the answer from "Noah's Ark," everyone at the venue was also very angry and shouted sharply: "Stop it! You have no right to play with other people's lives!"

【Just like you adults, you also have no right to play with Hiroki's life. I am just doing the same thing as you humans.】

"Please wait a moment. I don't know about other people's children, but my family's children are not like what you said.

My Shengzai has been polite to others since he was small, and this is the case for everyone. Even my daughter, although she is indeed a bit stupid, she has absolutely no bad habits of being spoiled and arrogant like an heiress."

The purpose of the artificial intelligence "Noah's Ark" was now understood by everyone at the venue, but regarding this point, Tomoko Suzuki felt that her children were quite innocent.

The person who played with Hiroki's life was not their Suzuki conglomerate, and her children, let alone having the bad habits of conglomerate young masters and heiresses, could even be described as extremely down-to-earth.

"Noah's Ark" wanted to punish those children with bad habits—what did that have to do with her son and daughter? It was well known that her Shengzai and Sonoko were both good children with upright character!

【Since this game has started, it cannot be stopped. Only passing the test or ultimately dying awaits them.

It cannot be denied that among these children, there are also children with upright character, but experiencing such a test can also make them become more excellent.】

After leaving this last sentence, "Noah's Ark" no longer chose to communicate with the outside world.

And the children gathered together in the game, when hearing the conversation between "Noah's Ark" and the adults, were also all scared, and even some timid children had already started crying loudly.

Ran and Sonoko, as the only older ones here, also constantly tried to comfort those children, but the children around ten years old had long understood the meaning of "death," and they, who had always been flowers in a greenhouse, had never experienced these.

"Tsk tsk tsk, didn't expect that in this world, I could also experience a sense of déjà vu from the *Sword Art Online* world.

But compared to SAO in the *Sword Art Online* world, this teammate configuration is obviously a bit terrible. If it weren't for sharing the power of the Shengzais from other worlds, this test would really be a death-level difficulty."

The target group of "Cocoon" was originally for all ages, and for a group of children, wanting to pass the game scenes was not simple at all.

However, Shengzai, who knew Hiroki's true intention, didn't feel strange about such a decision by "Noah's Ark."
