Conan: I'm a zaibatsu in Tokyo

Chapter 173 Ai's Suicide
"Ai? Is that the name of this thing?" Gin asked.

"Yes."

Zheng nodded.

Seeing Shoichi come out and talk to Gin, Ai actually calmed down a bit.

Gin glanced back; this thing was truly an eyesore.

Moreover, judging from the size of the aperture, this is still a small child.

"Where's the treasure?" Gin asked.

"for you."

Zhengyi gave Gin a yellowed old book.

Gin glanced at the contents of the book, but couldn't understand a single page.

However, those seemingly sophisticated formulas don't match the paper that's been stored for who knows how many years.

No, it can't be called a great match; it's clearly a time-space misalignment.

Zheng Yi said, "These are the results of my research over the past few days. The money the organization gave me has not been wasted."

"You? Research and development achievements? Funding from the organization?"

Gin looked at Shoichi and expressed many of his doubts.

"You don't know?" Zheng Yi blinked.

He reached out to take the book from Gin's hand: "Since you don't know, then I won't give it to you. I'll just give it to Rum."

However, Gin held on tightly enough that Shoichi couldn't take it away.

“I will give this to Rum,” Gin said.

Gin's voice sounded cold, as if he was very unhappy.

Zheng nodded.

I didn't know Rum would keep it from you.

This was originally a small matter, but who knew he would keep such a small thing from you.

They really don't take Gin seriously at all.

"And what about Sherry?" Gin asked.

When Gin asked this question, Vermouth glanced at Ai beside her.

Xiao Ai is currently still deaf and mute.

Unaware of the surrounding situation, he could only stare blankly at Zheng Yi.

"Where's Sherry?" Gin asked.

“Sherry didn’t.” Vermouth answered for Shoichi, picking Ai up as she spoke.
"However, there is a Sherry cub here."

Seemingly because she was in a bad mood after being scolded, Ai in Vermouth's arms felt a little sore from being squeezed.

Moreover, Vermouth seemed to be moving her closer to Gin.

Gin's eyes narrowed.

This light is still too dazzling.

"Throw this thing away," Gin said, covering his eyes.

Vermouth obediently threw Ai out, but luckily Shoichi caught her.

Looking at Ai's lips, Masakazu sensed that she was saying something unpleasant.

"Children aren't allowed to swear," Zhengyi reminded him.

The blinding sun shone on Shoichi, causing Gin to quickly look away.

"The organization sent you so many software designers, and this is the one thing you came up with?" Gin asked.

“This game is already great,” Zheng Yi said.

Just as he put Xiao Ai on the ground, he pulled out... a portable spectrometer?
“Since it’s so bright,” Zheng Yi’s voice was completely calm, “let’s measure its luminous intensity and spectral characteristics. It might be of research value.”

Ai: ? ? ?
Upon hearing this, Vermouth seriously hugged Ai tightly with one arm, took the spectrometer with the other, and began scanning Ai.

"Hmm... the peak wavelength is about 550 nanometers, typical green light, brightness... wow, it's comparable to a small LED light bead."

Vermouth reported in a magnetic voice with a hint of mockery, "Looks like the loopholes in this game have even added some eco-friendly and energy-saving features for you?"

Ai's face turned ashen; she felt like a defective light bulb being tested.

At that moment, Zheng Yi's voice rang out through the game system broadcast:

"Human-shaped light bulb effect, with a 1% trigger probability, has a chance to attract the special attention of specific NPCs (such as Gin) in the dark during its duration."

Congratulations on triggering a hidden interaction!

Ai's face turned ashen. Was she being mocked and humiliated to her face?

After Zheng Yi finished speaking, her body actually started to glow.

Zheng Yi's damned perverse sense of humor.

"Zhengyi!"

……

"how's it going?"

"Conan and the others have already encountered Jack the Ripper," Professor Agasa said. "Charlie Cross Station?" Yusaku Kudo said, "This is the most dangerous climax yet."

In the game.

When Conan rushed into the train carriage, he was stunned to see Masakazu sitting inside.

“Professor Moriarty? What are you doing here?” Conan asked.

"me?"

Shoichi pointed to himself, looking at Conan with some uncertainty.

Conan looked at Masakazu.

Professor Moriarty can't be that young.

"Are you Professor Moriarty's son?" Conan asked uncertainly.

The book doesn't mention that Professor Moriarty had a son.

“He is Zhengyi,” Bai Ma Tan said.

He asked Zheng Yi, "Why are you here? Didn't you choose the pirate game?"

“Yes, but I don’t know why they suddenly sent me here,” Zheng Yi said.

In the world of pirates.

Shoichi earned Ai's 100ml of cold sweat, Gin's 3 frowns, 5 pauses, and 7 turns of the head.

It even made Ai Haibara complain that the game was terrible.

They said I not only played games, but I also messed with her.

After Gin and the others quit the game, Ai lost interest in continuing.

"I want to quit the game," Ai asked. "Where is the quit option?"

"Sorry, there is no such button at the moment," Zheng Yi said.

Xiao Ai snorted coldly.

He picked up a test tube from the side and poured the liquid inside into his mouth.

This is the fastest way to exit the game.

In the deserted pirate world, Zheng Yi had no interest in continuing the game and could only sneak here.

"Can I switch games?" Hakuba Saguru asked.

You can definitely control this game, right?

Where's Kaito?

“I don’t know, it just disappeared suddenly,” Zheng Yi said.

Kaito didn't die or quit the game; he simply disappeared, as if he had been dragged out of the game pod.

White Horse Detective stared intently at Zheng Yi.

Without a doubt, Zheng Yi definitely took care of it.

Kaito ultimately failed to keep a close watch on Shoichi.

Since Shoichi can control this game, Kaito has no chance against him.

"Which part of the story have you gotten to?" Zheng Yi asked.

“The Ripper escaped onto this train, and we need to find him in the crowd,” Sera Masumi replied.

Conan said inside the train carriage:
"Please raise your hands to make sure you are not carrying any weapons."

Zheng Yi shook his head; this was still too troublesome.

He shoved a submachine gun into Conan's hand and said to him:

"Now that we've confirmed Jack the Ripper is on the train, why not just kill everyone on the train and we'll clear the game?"

"Huh?" Conan's eyes widened.

Seeing that Shoichi had already loaded the gun, Conan hurriedly stopped him, saying, "Shoichi-nii, this won't do!"

That way you'll have killed more people than Jack the Ripper.

Jack the Ripper only killed a few people, and you want to slaughter an entire train?

"Conan, this is just a game," Shoichi said.

"These people are just NPCs. It doesn't matter how many we kill, as long as we can clear the game."

Although Shoichi was right, Conan still couldn't accept such a cruel way to clear the game.

This game is extremely realistic.

Killing someone here is probably no different from killing someone outside.

Hakuba scouts at Masaichi.

This guy is indeed the most ruthless and heartless one.

Conan looked at Shoichi.

Zheng Yi is definitely trying to intimidate Jack the Ripper and provoke him out, right?
