Detective Conan: I, with my magical powers, am going to destroy the world!

Chapter 417 is unbelievable!

“Chairman Schindler,” Yusaku Kudo introduced, “this is Inspector Megure of the Metropolitan Police Department.”

"The Metropolitan Police Department?" Schindler said coldly. "What do the police want with me?"

Before Inspector Megure could speak, the computer screen suddenly started flashing, and a beeping alarm sounded in the control room.

"Chairman Schindler!" the staff member exclaimed nervously, "The system has malfunctioned!"

"what?"

"There's no way to control it!"

Everyone's gaze swept over the out-of-control computer and looked at the several monitors. Between the screen transitions, they could clearly see images of Conan, Ai, Ayumi, and Sonoko sleeping in the game pods with their eyes closed.

"Borrow it!"

Dr. Agasa went to help troubleshoot the computer when suddenly a child's voice rang out in the room.

"My name is Noah's Ark, and I have taken control of the cocoon that simulates the game!"

"What is this?" The crowd listened in confusion to the sounds coming from all directions.

"What is Noah's Ark?" Inspector Megure asked Schindler, whose expression had drastically changed. 29

Yusaku Kudo glanced at the stunned Schindler and continued, "I remember that was an artificial intelligence that could achieve in just one year what humans took five years to develop, right?"

“That’s right,” Schindler said, his voice low as he came to his senses. “That was completed two years ago by Hiroki, whom I cherished like my own son. He should be the same age as Hiroki now.”

Yusaku Kudo walked to the control panel and asked as if he were talking to a child, "Noah's Ark, what do you want to do by taking over the children's games?"

"My goal is to start Japan anew."

The main screen displays children in a virtual space, an old circular platform surrounded by five unknown stone passageways.

"This is a game that concerns the lives of children. If everyone is eliminated, they will never be able to return to the real world. I will release special electromagnetic waves to destroy the players' brains."

"However, as long as one person reaches the finish line, you win, and all the children will be able to wake up after that."

"These are the rules of the game I've decided, understand?"

"What does 'Japan starts over' mean?" Kudo Yusaku pressed on the control panel.

"The children of dirty politicians will only become dirty politicians, and the children of doctors who only think about making money will eventually become that kind of doctor."

"If we want Japan to improve, we must completely eliminate this phenomenon once and for all."

"Alright, kids, you must be itching to start! Let's begin the game."

"The first stage is the pirate world, where players will travel to seven seas as pirates and challenge various adventures with strong will and courage."

"The second stage is the Paris-Dakar Rally, where I will compete alongside world-renowned drivers and strive for the championship in a tough race!"

"The third is the Colosseum in ancient Rome, where you can find powerful weapons and armor, and then go to the Roman Empire to test your skills and defeat the mighty warriors."

"The fourth is Solomon's Treasure, where everyone will play the role of treasure hunters searching for Solomon's treasure around the world."

"Then, the fifth one is London a hundred years ago, where you will experience a thrilling suspense story. In London in 1888, there is a serial murder case that has not been solved in the real world to this day. The killer is Jack the Ripper. Let's work together to bring him to justice."

[Ding! Specific time point detected. You can enter by casting a time-travel spell.]

Sure enough, it came!

Chi Chufeng's lips curled slightly as he turned and walked to a corner where no one was paying attention, where he cast a spatial spell.

In the game pod control room, Dr. Agasa wiped away his sweat and tried to access the game's settings.

Just now, when I tried to contact Conan in the game to warn him, I seemed to have angered the artificial intelligence Noah's Ark, and the communication kept breaking down. The children were also nearly killed.

“The game pods store enough energy to damage children’s brains.”

Professor Agasa, with a sullen, chubby face, observed Conan's movements.

“In the game, you are eliminated if you get hurt or captured. This was originally intended to make the game more difficult, but it is too difficult for the children.”

"Now it all depends on Conan and the others. If they can meet Holmes... hmm?"

Dr. Agasa was suddenly stunned.

"What's wrong?" Kudo Yusaku's eyes were bloodshot because his son had also entered the game, and he was unusually tense at the slightest sound. "Is there any more problem with 687?"

“That’s so strange,” Dr. Agasa shook his head in bewilderment.

"There's an extra signal in the game, it seems like a new player has joined. That's impossible, all 50 terminals are at the booth at the event, how did they connect to the game?"

Yusaku Kudo pressed for details, asking, "Where is the signal?"

"We can't find the source in the pirate world. Could it be a vulnerability?"

Dr. Agasa stared dumbfounded at the continuously flashing signal on the screen.

He had already exhausted all his efforts to find a way to contact Conan in the game, but now even that connection had been cut off by Noah's Ark.

Hackers? But what level of technology would be needed to counter an AI that dominates a game?

"It's really unbelievable."

Professor Agasa smacked his lips, somewhat speechless, his admiration mixed with deep concern.

"Hopefully they're not malicious, otherwise it'll be troublesome."

He stopped thinking about it and carefully observed the game Conan was playing.

Chapter 418 Here, I am God!

221B Baker Street, London, one hundred years ago.

Sonoko and Conan's group arrived at a brick-red house, accompanied by Ayumi, Ai Haibara, and six other children.

There were five game scenarios, with exactly ten participants in each scenario.

"Holmes should live here; this is the apartment he rented with Dr. Watson."

Yuanzi stepped forward and knocked on the door, acting like a tour guide; after all, she was the oldest person there.

"Who is it so late?" a blonde woman asked, opening the door with a puzzled look.

"My name is Sonoko Suzuki," Sonoko asked casually. "Is Mr. Holmes here?"

"Mr. Holmes and Dr. Watson are away on a business trip and are not home."

"On business trip?"

"Yes, they've reached Temore."

"Excuse me," Conan suddenly asked, "What's the date today?"

"September 30th."

"September 30th, the Hound of the Baskervilles incident?" Conan suddenly recalled Holmes's experience. "They had all just left London at that time!"

Conan's expression changed slightly as he clenched his fists and looked up at the gray sky: "What's going on? The professor clearly said that Holmes could help us."

In the game pod control room, Professor Agasa, with a serious expression, contacted Yusaku Kudo, who had temporarily left.

“Yusaku, we seem to have underestimated Noah’s Ark. Holmes and Watson are not on Baker Street, and even the accordion player character that I didn’t include has appeared.”

"That's amazing," Yusaku Kudo said, seemingly expecting this after hearing Professor Agasa's explanation, as he was talking to Shiratori. "As expected of artificial intelligence..."

"Hey, Yusaku!" Inspector Megure grabbed the phone and asked urgently, "What kind of story is the game you designed?"

“Originally, the players were supposed to work together with Sherlock Holmes to find out the true identity of Jack the Ripper,” Yusaku Kudo explained, “but in the end, they discovered that the serial killer was a nobleman suffering from a terminal illness.”

"Hahaha!" Noah's Ark, which had been silent until now, burst into laughter throughout the venue.

"I've prepared an even more interesting ending for you. The real identity of Jack the Ripper will definitely surprise you."

"In reality?" Kudo Yusaku's expression shifted slightly as he pondered aloud.

The serial murder case from a hundred years ago remains unsolved; how could artificial intelligence possibly know the answer?

And why did Kenmura leave out the abbreviation for Jack the Ripper?

Pirate World, a large ship sailing on a turbulent sea.

Chi Chufeng stood amidst the fighting pirates, his forehead covered in black lines.

Wait, did I travel to the wrong place?

Have I stumbled into a pirate level?

A curved blade came slashing at him, but even though he didn't understand what was happening, Chi Chufeng's hands moved quickly, and he slapped the charging pirate away.

"Wow? That's amazing!"

"One slap and he's sent flying!"

"Big brother, who are you?"

Chi Chufeng turned around and saw ten children of different sizes and heights standing behind him. Some of the younger children were wiping away tears out of fear.

"Don't be afraid, I am the Onmyoji Aka Chufeng, and I'm here to help you."

Looking at the ferocious pirates around him, Chi Chufeng curled his lip.
