Chapter 142 Noah’s Ark
"It's exactly like reality." Yuan Tai pinched his fat face and smiled foolishly with red marks.

In the dark space, mechanical sounds suddenly rang out as if coming from all directions.

"For those of you who are experiencing Cocoon for the first time, the game has already begun."

"I am 'Noah's Ark'."

The mechanical synthesized sound that was somewhat similar to a boy's voice attracted everyone's attention, and the chaotic noise suddenly became much quieter.

"I will now play promotional images of five game stages, and you can freely choose the game you want to play."

"But I want to remind you that this is not just a virtual game, but a test that is closely related to your life and property."

Noah's Ark spoke in an indifferent voice, making remarks that confused everyone.

"What do you mean by life-threatening?"

"do not know"

“Maybe it’s some kind of game setting.”

The children began to whisper.

Noah's Ark paused for a moment, as if to give the children time to digest the information, and then continued: "If everyone is eliminated from the game, you will not be able to return to reality, so please take this game seriously."

"As long as one person can complete the level, those who were eliminated before will also be able to wake up."

"And if no one can pass the level and everyone is eliminated from the game, I will release a large amount of electricity through the 'cocoon' device to destroy your brains."

"These are the rules I set for this trial. Do you understand?"

An He listened to his words, nodded silently, and made up a tune for herself in her heart.

'Ding--'

'Welcome to Fengling Yueying.'

Noah's Ark certainly didn't know that he was having fun in his heart, and he continued speaking in that tone that seemed even colder under the mechanical texture.

"The adults outside just asked me a question. Even though you can't hear it, I think I should tell you the answer."

"I just want to rebuild Japan!"

"Politicians who cannot see the truth will only be mediocre politicians even if their descendants succeed them; doctors who are greedy for money, no matter how talented their descendants are, will only see the medical industry as a convenient way to make money."

"The children of the poor become poorer, the talents who are not reused gradually wither, and the new things with bright prospects are doomed to lose their vitality because of arrogance and prejudice."

"This country is like a big tree that has grown too many useless branches, taking away all the nutrients."

"Without the courage to prune them all, the tree would not be able to grow tall and healthy."

Miyano Shiho walked up to Anhe and said, "It's just like the Godzilla movie we saw before."

"Humanity's arrogance is backfired by the creations it has created."

"They really do look a bit alike." After hearing what she said, An He also noticed the similarities.

The children became uneasy and unconsciously gathered around the few adults.

"What should we do, Brother Anhe?" Ayumi asked worriedly, blinking her big eyes.

"It's okay. Many games are set up like this. If you don't win, the world will be destroyed." An He comforted him, "And the requirements are quite simple. As long as one person passes the level, it's enough."

She felt a little relieved, but obviously not completely relieved. "Anyway, everyone can't wait to enter the game." Noah's Ark stopped talking to the outside world and quickly returned to the game itself, and began to introduce five different stage backgrounds.

The five games are a pirate adventure in the Caribbean, a speed racing off-road, a Roman Colosseum full of bestiality and wildness, a bounty hunter in the time of King Solomon, and a mystery in the foggy city at the end of the 19th century.

"Okay, everyone can freely choose the game they want to participate in."

After introducing all the stages, Noah's Ark became quiet, and psychedelic light curtains swayed in the five doors built of rubble, pointing in different directions.

"How do we choose?" Suzuki Sonoko asked a key question.

What Noah's Ark said just now was too horrifying, even Suzuki Sonoko and Mao Li Ran, two relatively mature high school students, were a little scared.

"It seems better for us to act together now?" she suggested.

Mao Lilan also nodded in response.

Conan opened his mouth and gave his suggestion: "Why not choose the last one."

He made this suggestion not because of his own interest in the case and reasoning, but because he considered that this scenario was relatively suitable for them.

After all, with several small children in tow, the requirements for fighting and physical fitness in the first few games were too high, so solving the case was much easier. With his enhanced reasoning ability and cooperating with Mr. An He, it can be said that he can easily handle it.

No one had any objection, so they formed a group and walked together towards the door representing the last stage.

When they passed through, the light curtain like water curtain fluctuated for a moment, and then gradually returned to calm.

There was a moment of illusion in front of everyone's eyes, and then they found themselves in a small alley.

The sky was grey, and the surrounding buildings were mostly made of reddish-brown bricks and soil. The ground was made of the same material, and it was a little uneven if you looked closely, but it was generally in good order.

Occasionally, there were a few windows with dim red-orange lights on, and the street lamps standing on the roadside were old gas lamps, the lights gradually brightened and dimmed.

There was an uncomfortable smell in the air, and breathing was extremely difficult, as if there were intangible particles hidden in it. Large patches of black fog were floating around, trapping the little light from the street lamps, making the bright light unable to reach far.

"This is the foggy city of London," Conan whispered with deep excitement hidden.

"Rather than saying 'romantic', I find this place quite weird." Miyano Shiho crossed her arms, looked around, and then frowned.

Awa-kun is not in the team.

"The air smells strange." Ayumi frowned and sneezed several times.

"Because the London fog is not just water vapor, but the product of large molecular particles produced by incomplete combustion of coal and charcoal in factories, combined with water vapor in the air."

“It’s more like smog than fog.”

Conan turned around and explained to them, then he was also stunned.

"Huh? Where's Anhe brother?"

He also noticed the obvious fact that there was someone missing from the team.

After Conan said this, the others looked at each other and then realized what had happened.

"Oh, why are An and his brother missing?"

"Didn't he just follow us?"

Just as everyone was talking about An He's strange disappearance, a sharp shout suddenly rang out from an alley not far away.
