Chapter 332

The runaway train was shattered when it entered the station, but because the carriage where Conan and Morohoshi Hideki were was the last one.

And because all the red wine barrels were knocked over in advance, and because they were completely soaked in red wine, the liquid well cushioned the impact, causing both of them to survive successfully.

When the game ended, Conan was directly pulled into a dark space by "Noah's Ark," and Morohoshi Hideki in front of him also changed back to Hiroki's original appearance.

And besides the two of them, Shengzai, who should have died with Jack the Ripper and exited the scene, also appeared here.

Looking at Shengzai and Conan in front of him, Hiroki first bowed to thank them: "Thank you very much for your help this time. If it weren't for you, my father's grievances might not have been cleared, and I wouldn't have known that my father had done so much for me.

Really thank you both, Seiya Suzuki, and Shinichi Kudo... oh no, Edogawa Conan."

Hearing the name Hiroki corrected halfway, Conan didn't struggle, but showed a bitter smile: "If there were only the three of us here, I wouldn't have to hide my identity.

Because with the deduction ability Shengzai showed before, I'm afraid he had already guessed my identity.

After all, not everyone is Uncle Mouri and Yuanzi-Barrier, and even Xiaolan has suspected me many times."

When Conan said these words, he was actually observing Shengzai's expression, and when he found that there was no surprise on the latter's face, he sighed helplessly.

As expected, just as he had anticipated, he had already been exposed...

"Speaking of which, you actually knew I was Shinichi Kudo long ago, why didn't you expose me?

And even treated me as Edogawa Conan in secret, instead of Shinichi Kudo."

Regarding this point, Conan was quite curious. After all, there were quite a few people around him who knew his true identity, but almost no one treated him like Shengzai, who clearly knew his true identity but pretended not to know.

Shengzai: "(￣￣) Are you stupid or am I stupid? If I told you I knew you were Shinichi Kudo, wouldn't I have to call you Shinichi-niisan in secret?

Isn't it better to pretend not to know and be your peer? Why should I let you take advantage of me?

Of course, if you use your child identity to take a bath or soak in a hot spring with my sister and the others, I will definitely expose you without mercy!"

Hearing Shengzai's words, Conan was speechless for a while. He didn't expect that he, who had been pretending to be a child, would one day be tricked by a seven-year-old child.

And upon hearing the second half of Shengzai's sentence, Conan felt a sense of relief inside. Fortunately, although he had soaked in hot springs and taken baths with Xiaolan, he hadn't done so with Yuanzi; otherwise, with Shengzai's sister-complex personality, he would probably have been gg long ago!

"Actually, besides wanting to thank you, this is also to say goodbye to you.

My father died because of this incident, and I should return to his side. Thank you for letting me have such an exciting adventure with you like a normal child before I left.

And finally, before I leave, I actually want to entrust 'Noah's Ark' to you two."

"Originally, my plan was to take 'Noah's Ark' with me. After all, the appearance of artificial intelligence is probably too early for humans now.

But after experiencing this incident, I suddenly felt that whether such power as 'Noah's Ark' is good or bad for this world completely depends on whose hands it is in.

If it falls into the hands of those ambitious people with evil intentions, 'Noah's Ark' might bring disaster, or even war, to this world.

But if it were in your hands, perhaps it could become an existence that helps human development, or even brings joy and happiness to children."

Because his own childhood experience wasn't very good, Hiroki didn't want other children to become like him.

So in the end, he gave a final instruction to "Noah's Ark": its use can only be for entertainment purposes; otherwise, the internal program will initiate self-destruction.

But even if its use was restricted, artificial intelligence is artificial intelligence. This epoch-making product with a growth rate far exceeding that of humans is undoubtedly an extremely precious treasure for current society and humans.

"I really don't have the ability to control artificial intelligence. I prefer deduction and solving various cases, so..."

"Since that's the case, then I will take over 'Noah's Ark.' It just so happens that after this incident, I also have the idea of developing a virtual world game.

If I have the artificial intelligence 'Noah's Ark,' it will be more convenient to manage the virtual game world.

And with the ability of our Suzuki Financial Group, we can also maximize the value of 'Noah's Ark.'

Of course, I can also guarantee to you that I will only use 'Noah's Ark' for entertainment purposes and bring happiness and joy to children in this world."

To prove that what he said was true, Shengzai directly proposed the concept and development plan of a virtual game world in front of Hiroki.

Of course, these concepts and plans were mostly derived from the "Virtual World Seed" that Akihiko Kayaba once gave him in the Sword Art Online world.

And when hearing Shengzai's series of plans and ideas, Hiroki in front of him was stunned.

Hiroki used to think that being able to develop the artificial intelligence "Noah's Ark" should be considered quite amazing among children of the same age.

But no one expected that Shengzai would be even more heaven-defying than him! He actually conceived the structure of a virtual world, and according to the program and code he provided, Hiroki, who was also a genius, could see at a glance that the feasibility was quite high!

At eleven or twelve, he was called a genius, so what should Shengzai, who is only seven years old now, be called? This is simply a genius among geniuses!

Taking a look at Shengzai and Hiroki, who were suddenly chatting enthusiastically, Conan on the side also felt quite hurt.

Not to mention his seven-year-old appearance now, even when he was a high school student, wasn't he, Shinichi Kudo, the kind of "other people's child"?

But as someone who was already considered extremely excellent among his peers, he couldn't understand almost anything when listening to the topic Shengzai and Hiroki were talking about!

You know, he is the only high school student here, while Hiroki and Shengzai are the real "children," but the scene in front of him hit him hard!

It can only be said that even he, a high school detective, cannot understand the world of straight-A students and geniuses at all.

And now, his understanding of Shengzai's monstrous level has been refreshed again.

You know, Hiroki is that kind of internationally famous young genius. Now that even he is full of praise for the younger Shengzai, it is enough to show how heaven-defying this brat Shengzai is.

And Yuanzi, that guy, aren't they biological siblings with Shengzai? Why are they, born of the same parents, completely two different breeds?

Could it be that when Tomoko-oba-san gave birth to Yuanzi, she left her brain in her stomach and gave it all to Shengzai, who was the little brother, later on?
