Chapter 406 The Death Game Begins

The police car quickly pulled up in front of the Mihana Municipal Building.
The reporters with their long lenses and microphones nearby had already packed up their equipment, intending to take a break and wait for the cocoon game to end before filming again. However, when they saw several police cars approaching, they were immediately delighted.

—Wow, there's news here?
Inspector Megure and Inspector Shiratori quickly parked the car and led a group of officers towards the main entrance of the Beika City Hall. As they walked on the red carpet, reporters around them snapped photos with their long lenses and microphones.
For a moment, Inspector Megure and Inspector Shiratori really had the illusion that their group had become top-tier.

Inspector Megure immediately felt a little uncomfortable, but Shiratori Ninzaburo next to him didn't feel anything. After all, he was the young master of the Shiratori Group and the future heir, so he had received this kind of training and felt no pressure at all.

Following behind Inspector Megure, Wataru Takagi saw Shiratori Ninzaburo's appearance.

He was startled and quickly followed suit, silently telling himself to calm down as he walked calmly into the Mikasa City Hall. This scene surprised the security personnel inside the Mikasa City Hall.

One of the security personnel reached out and blocked the security gate, saying sternly,
"Gentlemen, our Cocoon Games press conference requires an invitation to enter. Do you have an invitation?"

Upon hearing this, Inspector Megure and Shiratori Ninzaburo exchanged a glance.
The next moment, Inspector Megure took out his police ID, showed it, and said,

"I am Inspector Juzo Megure of the Third Violent Crimes Investigation Division, First Investigation Section, Criminal Investigation Department, Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department."

"There is a serious murder at the Cocoon Games press conference. We need you to make way immediately so that we can conduct an investigation at the scene as soon as possible."

The security guard frowned and said,

"No entry without an invitation."

Memu Police Department, Shiratori Rensaburo:?
Shiratori Ninzaburo shook his head and said,
"This is your last warning. Please make way immediately, or your company will detain you for obstructing official business."

Upon hearing this, the security personnel shouted,
"What are you doing? Do you think police officers can do whatever they want and disregard the rules?"

Inspector Megure and Shiratori Ninzaburo exchanged another glance.
Then, Inspector Megure answered affirmatively.
"Sorry, when we encounter a case, we police officers are legally authorized to investigate as we please."

------

The security personnel who were arrested for obstructing official duties were ignored.
The appearance of Inspector Megure and his group instantly attracted the attention of everyone in the audience. Kogoro Mouri even stood up abruptly, about to ask what was going on, but then he saw Inspector Megure shake his head, so he decided to keep quiet.

Numerous police officers quickly entered the back office and then proceeded along the path to the database room described by Chen En.

When Inspector Megure and his team arrived outside the room, all they could hear was a series of screams that sounded like Tom the cat being beaten. Inspector Megure was startled and guessed that Chen En was beating up a criminal again.

But the inexperienced Shiratori Ninzaburo frowned.

He felt that the perpetrator must be harming the victim, otherwise why would she be screaming so pitifully?
We can't wait any longer; we must start the rescue immediately!
Shiratori Rensaburo drew his pistol, then kicked open the database door, pointing the gun inside. He went in and saw Chen En beating an old man, seemingly about to kill him. Shiratori Rensaburo was startled, then said…

"Don't move. This is Inspector Shiratori Ninzaburo of the Third Division of the Criminal Investigation Department of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department."

"Mr. Chen En, please stop your violent behavior!"

Inspector Megure followed him inside and asked, puzzled,
"Brother Chen En, what's going on?"

"Didn't you say that Thomas Sindora was trying to kill Tadahira Kashimura with a knife? Then, where is Thomas Sindora? Where is the knife?"

Hearing this, Chen En finally tossed the old man aside, pointed,
"That it."

Inspector Megure and Shiratori Ninzaburo simultaneously turned their gazes to Thomas Sindora's disfigured face, and couldn't help but gasp, thinking to themselves that Chen En had gone too far this time. Then, Chen En snapped his fingers, and before Inspector Megure and Shiratori Ninzaburo could ask any questions,
Tadahiro Kashimura had already manipulated the computer to retrieve the surveillance footage of Thomas Sindora entering the backstage area with a knife, preparing to commit murder. This surveillance footage abruptly ended after Chen En appeared behind Thomas Sindora and closed the door.

At first glance, I thought it was a trailer for a horror movie, hinting at the next installment.

"Well, I guess this counts as an act of heroism, but Brother Chen En, was it really necessary to hit him so hard?"

Inspector Megure instructed the forensic officers beside him to collect the evidence first.
He then walked to Chen En's side, shook his head slightly, and said,

"He's an old man, after all."

Hearing this, Chen En raised an eyebrow and said,

"He drove a ten-year-old child to his death, causing the child to jump off a building and commit suicide."

Mu Mu Police Department:?
Chen En then pointed to Kashimura Tadahira beside him and said,
"This is the father of the child who was forced to commit suicide."

"Because we need to investigate the truth of what happened back then, as well as Thomas Sindora's background, Thomas Sindora is now quietly approaching, preparing to reunite the father and son."

Shiratori Renzaburo:?

—If you put it that way, we should have stayed outside a little longer.

This kind of person, if you can't kill them, beat them to death!
That's how we should play! No, that's the only way!
Just as Inspector Megure and Ninzaburo Shiratori were taking notes on the case, a scream suddenly rang out from outside the corridor. Inspector Megure and Ninzaburo Shiratori exchanged a glance and immediately rushed outside.

At this moment, the many celebrities in the audience stood up in shock.

The game's live stream screen had been black for quite some time, which was wearing down their patience. Just as they were about to ask Thomas Sindora about the situation, the live stream finally came back on.

However, it's better if this scene doesn't happen!
Because this is a death game declaration for Noah's Ark!
"Seeing you all like this, I suppose the children of corrupt politicians will only become corrupt politicians; the children of doctors who are only interested in making money will only become that kind of doctor. If you want Japan to become a better place, you have to cut off this connection once and for all."

"From now on, the Cocoon Game will become a death game."

"Everyone who dies in the game will be eliminated. If all fifty players are eliminated before the game is completed, then unfortunately, all of them will die."

Noah's Ark's voice was childish, like that of a ten-year-old child, but the words he spoke sent chills down one's spine.

"I will use high-power microwaves to burn the brains of all players the instant they are eliminated, thus causing brain death. This will also happen if the building loses power or the game pods are forcibly removed."

"This may be a game, but it's not something to be taken lightly."

"If you cannot change yourselves, then let death change you!"
