My obsession with role-playing seems to have distorted the world's aesthetic.

Most people don't appreciate things that are free, so Xia Qing had Wendy choose different connection prices based on the different purchasing power of different countries.

As the first employee under Huanmeng, he should at least make a contribution and highlight his presence in Huanmeng's first large-scale business operation since its inception.

Integrated networks can utilize the spare computing power of other connected entities during use, making them an absolute game-changer for certain industries that require strategic thinking.

Furthermore, the Unified Crystal can also function as a secondary system, allowing it to use the memories of the connected user to make judgments and prevent certain evil deeds by mobilizing small robots in the surrounding area.

Of course, this retrieval system needs a fairly large number of connections before it can be initially operational.

Before this system was running, another detection system was being installed and implemented, and the organization nominally responsible for that system was Enthusiast.

Chapter 468: Interested in becoming a magical girl Cthulhu?

In countries like Australia and Mexico, where law enforcement is practically a joke, police positions have largely been replaced by enthusiastic machines.

As for certain countries with relatively good public order, Seele chose a cooperative approach, handing over secondary control of the miniaturized and improved version of the Titan machine to those countries.

However, each Titan comes with its own surveillance system, and secondary control only has the effect of mobilizing and blocking actions; it cannot remove the field armor at all.

However, the Honkai Beasts' technology hasn't reached an outrageous level yet. Given time, the principle of their position will likely be deduced, but by then, the technology they can control will probably be even stronger.

The system for basic living allowances is still being improved, and with this upheaval, it is estimated that many people in various industries will lose their jobs.

Among the people recruited by Huanmeng are many sociologists and psychologists. Although it is a form of military oppression, there is no doubt that human civilization is moving towards peace.

Given the premise of possessing absolute military power and not needing to consider the will of others, those scholars have come up with quite a few solutions for achieving world peace.

Xia Qing felt that the chances of her thoughts changing were slim. When the system had previously changed her class to the Crown System, she was no longer an ordinary being.

Every crown system, even the most basic one, is unique. From the moment that path was realized, it seems that it was born different from all other possible versions of itself in parallel universes.

As for whether my thoughts will change, well, there is a system to monitor me in this regard. If I were to be classified as Chaotic Good or Chaotic Neutral, I would be considered Chaotic Good or Chaotic Neutral.

The world of Detective Conan is on the prelude to peace. Two months later, most of the measures proposed at the peace conference have begun to be implemented. During these months, Kaito Kuroba has been feeling somewhat anxious and uncertain.

Since the organization that seemed to have killed his father was destroyed, leaving him with no reason to continue being a phantom thief, Kaito Kuroba says he suddenly feels that life has become much less interesting.

Sure enough, the life of a phantom thief is more exciting!

He was bored out of his mind and looked out the window. Robots occasionally swept by downstairs to clean up the dust. In the two months, Xia Qing created a lot of energy crystals from the bubble space.

The energy within those energy crystals is estimated to be enough to sustain all the integrated crystals on Earth in a fully operational state for a century.

Compared to the incredibly energy-intensive integrated crystals, those robots are definitely number one in terms of energy consumption.

Ok?

Kaito Kuroba suddenly heard a vibration in his pocket. He took out his phone and saw a message from an unknown number.

"Kaito, there's a new project on the organization that you should be able to participate in. If you're interested, see you at the Zoo Ruins tonight at 10 PM."

If you're not interested, please let me know and I'll turn them down for you.

Upon seeing this message, Kaito Kuroba perked up, wondering what the new project of the organization his former divine self had joined was.

Aoko glanced over at Kaito Kuroba, who was staring intently at his phone. She already knew that Kaito was not as simple as he seemed, and she also knew his true identity.

That's right, Kaito, who appears to be just an ordinary student, is actually a magical girl who protects the world!

Recalling what she had witnessed, Aoko suddenly felt that all the times Kaito had stayed out all night were now explained, and it also explained why Kaito always had inexplicable injuries.

Are you the one protecting this city, Kaito?

Judging from that serious expression, could it be that he's discussing dealing with some monsters with his magical girl companion?

Come to think of it, shouldn't I find an opportunity to confront Kaito? I feel that keeping the secret to myself is having an immeasurable negative impact on Kaito.

Unaware of his childhood friend's wild thoughts, Kaito replied with "See you at the zoo" and put his phone back in his pocket.

The bright moon hung high in the sky, and a chilly night breeze blew through the zoo grounds.

At ten o'clock, Kaito, who had been waiting there, discovered that the space around him had changed. He found himself in a space filled with countless green 0s and 1s.

The next second, countless green areas transformed into a technologically advanced blue virtual screen, on which various amorphous monsters were displayed in layers.

"You've come, my brother who turned over a new leaf and stopped being a phantom thief."

A familiar voice rang out, and turning around to look behind him, he saw four figures staring at him.

Kaito Kuroba asked somewhat helplessly, facing Conan who had spoken first, "So... what's the situation now?"

"Well, I've never encountered a situation like this before, because the previous unified network connectors were basically a race with pure and innocent thoughts."

Humanity lacks the pure hearts necessary to traverse interstellar space, yet it forcibly used the Unified Network, leading to the current problems.

This has resulted in too many evil thoughts being separated from humans during the connection process, and it has begun to form a virus of this soul connection.

At this moment, a handsome young man with white hair and blue eyes, who was definitely good material for cross-dressing and whose eyes were clear and almost like a shota, spoke up, and Kaito nodded upon hearing these words.

This seems so complicated...

Taking a deep breath, Kaito asked, "So what do we need to do now, and who are you...?"

In response to Kaito's question, the handsome young man replied, "I am Yukihara, the leader of the Unification, and this body is my human form."

As for what needs to be done now... it's about those virus-like things in your world's network.

It might cause mental trauma to those who were connected in the past, so we are considering creating a related discipline and training some warriors specifically to target those viruses.

As for the name of that subject… after discussion, we've tentatively decided on Cognitive Science.”

Whether it's science or science, in this world of science fiction, science fiction is indeed the most suitable.

“The relevant soldiers… So I’m one of the candidates?”

Kaito Kuroba quickly figured out why he was able to participate in this new project, and at that moment, Xia Qing, using a slightly modified version of his original appearance, spoke up:

"That's right. The number of people who can serve as Cleaners is destined to be quite small, so you are one of the chosen ones, codenamed Magical Girl Cthulhu."

If you become one, the organization will have someone among the Cleaners who knows what's going on, and we won't need to spend so much effort inviting other Cleaners.

Chapter 469: Detective Ke Zhen'e, Magical Girl Cthulhu, the perfect pairing!

After saying this, Mitchie gave an encouraging look and clenched her right fist, stretching it forward: "For my sake, become Magical Girl Cthulhu!"

Looking at Kaito Kuroba, who was cheering him on, he remained silent for a moment before unhesitatingly retorting, "You're probably doing this to satisfy your own perverse sense of humor."

You want to see me with the title of magical girl... What a terrible hobby that is.

Also, why am I a magical girl? My attack method involves controlling tentacles. No matter how you look at it, it has nothing to do with magical girls; I seem more like their enemy.

If Kaito Kuroba had known about Miki's personality through their previous meetings and battles together, he would have known without a doubt that Miki was a guy with a wicked sense of humor.

Ai Haibara told me about the time she carried a speaker and played music, and about the time she turned and ran away from the zoo without hesitation.

He wouldn't have rushed in if he wasn't absolutely certain he could handle those people at the zoo. Sure enough, that guy Michie was a complete hedonist.

Kaito Kuroba successfully saw through Xia Qing's fabricated persona for the secret agreement, and after the secret agreement was exposed, he tried to change the subject: "Hey, by the way, Conan, how satisfied are you with that title of yours?"

After glancing at Xia Qing and remaining silent for a moment, Conan said, "I think that title is quite proper, well, how should I put it, very traditional."

But I always felt that the name you gave me wasn't meant to be malicious... Oh well, it's not too bad anyway, I'll just use that one.

Upon hearing this, Kaito Kuroba looked at Conan curiously: "Kid, what nickname did he give you?"

Upon hearing Kaito's words and actions, Mi-He immediately rebuked him, "Kaito, how dare you call your brother a brat!"

Kaito Kuroba casually replied, "I always feel that although what you said sounds quite serious, your original intention doesn't seem very good. Never mind."

Let's deal with the issue of how we address each other first. Calling you "little devil" doesn't seem quite right, and calling you "brother" would feel even stranger.

Let's change the title then, let's call him the famous detective, hmm, let's use the title of famous detective.

So, what nickname did that guy with the terrible sense of humor give you, Detective?

Seeing Conan's curious tone, Conan glanced at the expectant Kaito Kuroba and casually mentioned his title:

"I took one of the two characters in my name, Conan, and added a rather upright and old-fashioned word after it."

In this unified network, I am no longer Conan Edogawa, but the famous detective Ke Zhen'e!

The idea behind the name that Michi told me was to suppress all evil with my own strength.

But why does he see me as a reckless lone wolf...? I'm not the kind of person who would take dangerous actions alone without any help.

In my opinion, we should actually add more helpers with clearly defined roles.

Let me think. Michi mentioned before that people with this kind of qualification are extremely rare. Let's assume that no more than ten can be found in a short period of time.

There are 24 hours a day, with shifts every six hours, and a total of four groups.

Since the two of us have combat experience, we can each form a group. Let's tentatively set the remaining two groups as two people each.

"If there are six people, we can consider maintaining this arrangement initially, and then gradually expand the recruitment pool..."

Conan, deep in thought, began to consider how to maximize the effect given the small number of people present. Just then, Secret spoke up:

"Your two daughters should be able to help too. After Miyano Akemi regains her memories, she should be able to form a team by herself, and Ai's strength is also sufficient for her to form a team by herself."

Hearing Miki's suggestion, Conan nodded: "Ai, I'll ask her if she's interested when I have the chance. If it's really not dangerous as you say, then I have no objection."

As for Akemi... it seems that Igor blocked her memories of various kinds of magic after the ceremony.

She suggested that he not be dragged into this mess for now, and that he should rest and recover. Everything should be discussed once his memory was restored.

Moreover, as the priestess of Ego, Miss Seele, who previously diagnosed Akemi, also mentioned that Akemi might still have some of Ego's remaining effects on her.

Seeing Conan's inner turmoil, the secret code suggested, "Mr. Conan, what are you planning to call your seven-person team? How about 'The Seven Freaks of Jiangnan'?"

At this moment, Kaito Kuroba hurriedly said, "What kind of name is 'Seven Heroes of Jiangnan'? This monster... wait, that kind of thing that condenses negative human thoughts seems to be a byproduct of the Unification Network."

Ah, does this mean we're enemies of the same origin?

"Ahem, let's not think about that too much for now. Calling them the Seven Heroes of Jiangnan is a bit less appealing than calling them the After-School Alley Alliance."

Kaito Kuroba quickly refused, sensing that Michi's words were not well-intentioned.

"Seven people... how about we call them the Liyue Seven Stars?"

"This name is not bad."

"What about the Seven Mansions of the Azure Dragon?"

"You actually know how to come up with proper names!"
