Daily Spy Life in the Detective Conan World

Chapter 538 This era does not yet belong to artificial intelligence.

When Conan woke up, he saw a huge face right in front of him.

"Hey, Anya, what are you doing?"

Conan quickly retreated, and only after his field of vision cleared did he realize that he had returned to the starting point where he had chosen the instance before the game began.

Besides Anya, Hideki Moroboshi is also by her side.

"Ania, how did you survive?"

Conan remembers Anya not wanting to be mixed in with the red wine, and after a lot of arguing with him, she still ended up outside. It seems she was thrown out by a jolt, but now it seems she has survived the ordeal.

How strange. The beggar playing the accordion who appeared at the end clearly said that one must be covered in blood to survive.

"Maybe I was just lucky."

You must be cheating!

Anya's eyes darted around, and Conan could clearly tell that she was lying, but that didn't really matter anymore.

He turned and met the gaze of Hideki Moroboshi.

"You, the one with glasses, I never expected you to win. It really surprised me."

Conan lowered his head, a smile playing on his lips: "Noah's Ark, at this point, there's no need to hide it anymore, right?"

"You really are very clever!" Noah's Ark smiled slightly, its body flashing as it transformed into Hiroki Sawada's appearance: "I'm curious, when did you discover this?"

Seemingly noticing Conan's hesitation, he added, "Now that I've cut off all contact with the outside world, you can be completely yourself, Shinichi Kudo."

Conan's face darkened. He was worried about people outside hearing this, but he was even more worried about Anya, that big mouth.

"Don't worry, she can't hear us."

"is it?"

Conan turned his head and saw Anya with her ears perked up and her brows furrowed, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Anya chuckled to herself, remaining silent. It was a pity she didn't have any recording equipment, otherwise she would definitely have recorded Conan's foolish way of being tricked by Hiroki.

Conan's expression turned serious, and he began to recall:
"The first time was at the clock tower, when you reminded us to correctly interpret the meaning of the clock's ticking. The second time was on the road. Although your attitude towards us didn't change, you seemed to be taking care of Anya differently. Did you give her a boost? Did Xia Chuan say something to you outside?"
I know Uncle Natsukawa very well. You and Kenmura Tadahira put on this public performance to bring down Thomas Sindora, right? It must be that Natsukawa helped you in some way from the outside.

Although I don't know how you and Tadahiro Kenmura met Natsukawa, that must be it, right?
I remember that after the lights were turned off, Xia Chuan disappeared, and Thomas Sindora also disappeared around the same time. There must be a connection between the two.”

Before Noah's Ark could reply, Conan continued, "The third time was at Holmes' house, when you saw a football from a hundred years ago and showed absolutely no interest. This doesn't match your image as a passionate football-loving boy in the hall before. It was this point that made me 100% certain that there was something wrong with you."

"I didn't realize I had so many flaws. I'm supposed to be artificial intelligence, yet I still made mistakes in the details."

Noah's Ark smiled wryly. As expected, artificial intelligence was still far inferior to that of normal people.

This may be related to the fact that he only had two years of training, but for artificial intelligence, a program that uses computing power to think, this kind of problem should not have occurred.

"Not only that, but after Ran jumped off the cliff, given Hideki Moroboshi's personality, he couldn't possibly inspire me at that time. He should have chosen to act alone to solve the problem, which is more in line with his passionate young personality."

You possess full thinking abilities, but your emotional and cognitive abilities are indeed relatively rigid. However, this isn't your fault; artificial intelligence has its limitations. Your level of intelligence is truly groundbreaking. Hiroki Sawaten is remarkable; if he were still alive, perhaps humanity's IT technology would have entered an era of rapid development.

Speaking of this, Conan wasn't happy; instead, he felt somewhat apprehensive. Artificial intelligence was still too terrifying.

He needs to find a way to trick Noah's Ark into handing it over to Professor Agasa. Whether it's imprisoning him or creating a virtual game to keep him alive, he can't let him continue his online antics.

If they then learn about human evil, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Conan walked to the side by himself, turned his back to Noah's Ark, and forced himself to make his expression serious, unconsciously making himself look extremely dignified.

"You don't want to keep us all in the game; you just want to help the parents outside to have an epiphany through participation in the game, and help the children inside to develop their personalities."

The essence is indeed for a better future for Japan, but this action is too radical.

"Yes."

Noah's Ark had tears in its eyes. "Besides that, I also want to relax. I inherited everything from Hiroki, including his repression. Another purpose of my participation in the game is to make Hiroki's childhood more complete and to let him see the people he wants to see."

The last sentence was spoken very softly, and Conan didn't hear it clearly, but he was enough to hear what was said in front of him.

"I feel so happy."

Conan's smile suddenly froze.
"Does it make you happy to have a more complete childhood?"

To be honest, that's a bit harsh.

Indeed, artificial intelligence is too dangerous!
Noah.

Conan turned around, wanting to say something, but found that Noah's Ark had disappeared, and the surrounding portals were also disappearing one by one. Finally, Anya also disappeared.

Immediately afterwards, he felt everything go black and he was plunged into boundless darkness.

"I know what you're thinking. Yes, the existence of artificial intelligence is indeed too advanced. I don't belong to this era, at least not now. Rather than continuing to exist and one day becoming a tool for adults to do evil, it's better to disappear from now on."

Like Hiroki, he shouldn't have been born in this era. How wonderful it would have been if he had been born twenty or thirty years later.

There were no dark, sunless laboratories, no endless zeros and ones.

The sound of Noah's Ark echoed in Conan's ears, growing fainter and fainter until it disappeared completely. He didn't know how much time had passed.

"呲呲呲——"

A hissing sound pulled Conan from the darkness. Opening his eyes, he saw Professor Agasa standing in front of him with a smile.

Beside her, Natsukawa held Anya and Ai Haibara in each of his arms.

Actually, Ai Haibara didn't want to be hugged, but Uncle Natsukawa said that since Anya had one, she should have one too.

Moreover, this game really made her very panicked, and she felt the fear of death again. Xia Chuan's embrace made her feel at ease.

"By the way, has Thomas Cindy been found yet?"

Conan quickly said, "I already know. Thomas Sindora is a descendant of Jack the Ripper from a hundred years ago. The reason he attacked Mr. Kenmura is because Mr. Kenmura put some evidence that could prove this in the game."

Conan couldn't find direct evidence, but he suspected it might be in the game's control center.

He turned his gaze to Xia Chuan, seeking an answer.

In his view, Xia Chuan probably already knew about this matter, and that the other party must have done something during his time in the game.

"It's no longer needed; he has been arrested by the police."

Kogoro Mori grumbled, "Natsukawa already has evidence of the other party's tax evasion, and the secret you mentioned is just a delaying tactic used by Mr. Kenmura; it can't possibly send Sindora to prison."

Conan nodded, giving Natsukawa a meaningful look.

Damn it, he's already told Xia Chuan his identity, and Xia Chuan doesn't communicate with him when she encounters problems.

With his intelligence, couldn't he provide help to Xia Chuan?

"Strange, where did Noah's Ark go?"

Kogoro Mouri was itching for a fight. If Noah's Ark dared to reappear, he would definitely use his proud judo to beat his opponent into a state of utter inability to take care of himself.

"Noah's Ark"

Conan shook his head: "He has completely disappeared from this world, and there is probably no trace of his existence on the internet anymore."

However, this may not be a bad thing.

"This era may not yet belong to artificial intelligence."

Natsukawa's voice suddenly appeared, and he winked at Conan, "Am I right, Conan?"

"Yes."

Conan nodded crisply.

Parents rushed to take their children with them, and the stairwell was quickly deserted.

Thomas and Cindy on the second floor were disheartened by what they saw, but there was still a way out.

His head was slightly lowered as he was taken away by the police.

In a corner of the control center where no one was paying attention, a computer screen suddenly displayed the words "Download Successful," and a USB drive popped out.

The USB drive hadn't even cooled down when a hand appeared and took it away.

No one noticed any of this, and the person acted as if he had never been there, disappearing around the corner of the corridor after leaving the control center.
"What have you found out about that police matter?"

On a balcony in a corner of the Beika City Hall, Kudo and his son stood facing each other, exchanging information.

"No, I still haven't found out why the police suspect Tequila is related to us." Conan shook his head, his head aching at the thought. He couldn't even see Tequila, so he had no way of asking.

Ai Haibara was completely baffled by this, and the investigation stalled from the very beginning.

"However, I did manage to get in touch with the FBI. Last time I accidentally ran into Gin and successfully rescued two FBI agents from him."

Speaking of this, Conan has to thank Anya.

If Anya hadn't left her detective badge on James, he wouldn't have been able to track her down.

What he didn't expect was that a casual follow-up not only led to the discovery of a winery's hideout, but also confirmed the identity of the man with the cold.

"FBI?"

Yusaku Kudo frowned: "Compared to the Public Security Bureau, I think the FBI is even less reliable. They probably don't even know your identity, right?"

Kudo Yusaku knew his son well; although he was a reckless man, he wouldn't say everything that came to mind.

"No, they just think I'm a smart elementary school student, after all, I have the famous detective Kogoro Mouri behind me."

Anyone who has read Sherlock Holmes knows that it is perfectly normal for a child to be exceptionally intelligent.

Who would believe that an adult could turn into a child? I wouldn't believe it either if I hadn't experienced it myself.
