I'm in Detective Conan, and the system has appointed Batman.

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!"

Chapter 407 Brother Chen En, quickly use your super wisdom to think of a solution!

"Are you kidding me?!"

Kogoro Mouri immediately stood up and shouted angrily,

"That's enough. No matter if you're artificial intelligence or some kind of super hacker, you have no right to manipulate or decide other people's lives. Who do you think you are? A god who decides fate?"

The answer came from the Cocoon Games live stream screen: Noah's Ark.

"That's exactly what you said."

"But it was you adults who first toyed with Hiroki's life. This is a completely equal retribution. So please wait and see what happens in this game."

The entire audience erupted in cheers.

Those big shots who were prominent figures in the entire Tokyo metropolitan area were now no different from, or even inferior to, the ordinary people they usually looked down upon. Deputy Inspector Moroboshi's face instantly darkened.

He noticed that Megure and Shiratori from the Metropolitan Police Department had just come out from backstage, and stood up to ask,

"Megure, Shiratori, what happened?"

"Why did you get into the backstage area of ​​the Mikasa City Hall? Did someone call the police? What happened?"

Deputy Inspector Moroboshi's words instantly drew everyone's attention to Inspector Megure and Inspector Shiratori, while Jirokichi Suzuki frowned and looked up in Sonoko Suzuki's direction.

Sonoko Suzuki, somewhat flustered, put down the juice in her hand, a hint of unease in her eyes.

Sonoko Suzuki, Ran Mouri, and Shinichi Kudo can be described as childhood sweethearts.

Ran Mouri and the members of the Detective Boys only entered this virtual death game because she helped them obtain the game qualification badges. If something were to happen to them in this virtual death game…

"Don't worry, relax."

Jirokichi Suzuki came to Sonoko Suzuki's side and whispered words of comfort.

In his view, the only fortunate thing is that Sonoko Suzuki didn't get involved in the game; otherwise, he, as her uncle, would probably be just as anxious as the other ordinary celebrities around him.

Even so, Jirokichi Suzuki realized who he could turn to for help to resolve this matter.

Aside from Batman Chin, no one else can solve this problem. Thomas Sindora hasn't appeared yet; either he encountered an accident, or he lacks the ability to resolve this omnic crisis.

Therefore, Thomas Sindora is unreliable, and the only one who can be relied upon is him, who is most accomplished in the field of computer science.

"Leave it to Chen En; he always has a way."

The biggest advantage of having Batman as a teammate is that you can clear your mind when Batman has intelligence.

Meanwhile, other prominent figures in Tokyo also expressed their indignation.

"Yes, what happened backstage?"

"Where did Thomas Sindora go? Why hasn't he come out yet? As the developer of Noah's Ark, couldn't Thomas Sindora even control the Ark himself?"

"How did he have the audacity to hold a press conference to announce such a high-risk game?"

Inspector Megure and Inspector Shiratori immediately realized where the pressure lay.

Seeing this, Inspector Shiratori and Inspector Megure exchanged a gesture, indicating that Inspector Megure should go backstage and arrest Thomas Sindora first, while he would handle things here. Only then did he speak.

"I am Inspector Shiratori Ninzaburo of the First Investigation Division of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department."

"I came to the Beika Municipal Building this time because someone reported to the police that Thomas Sindora, the chairman of the Sindora Foundation, attempted to murder Tadaaki Mura, the chief IT engineer in charge of the maintenance of Noah's Ark."

"Thomas Sindora is now in police custody, while Tadaaki Murakami has survived."

"Next, I will have Inspector Megure, who is also an Inspector of the First Investigative Division of the Metropolitan Police Department, go backstage to bring out Thomas Cindora and Tadaaki Mura. Please be patient!"

Someone called the police? Thomas Sindora's attempted murder of Cun Zhongbin failed?

The crowd in the theater erupted in another uproar. No one could believe that such a thing could happen backstage at the Mikado City Hall. Had Thomas Sindora gone mad? To kill his own chief engineer at this time?

But Inspector Moroboshi's attention wasn't on that.

He approached Inspector Shiratori, lowered his stance, and asked in a low voice.

"Shiratori, who called the police?"

In fact, this question is unnecessary.

Those who know Chen En know that since Chen En suddenly disappeared at this point in time, and a serious attempted murder was discovered in the background, the only person who could have reported the crime and stopped it was Chen En.

At this moment, Yusaku Kudo, standing at the very end of the audience seats, frowned.

He remembered that Chen En didn't seem to have told him that the Cocoon Game would turn into the death virtual game that looked like it came out of a light novel. Could it be that Chen En didn't expect this to happen either?

Thinking this through, Yusaku Kudo turned to look at the dumbfounded Professor Agasa beside him and asked in a low voice,

"Professor Agasa, didn't you say you added a hidden door to the Noah's Ark program before?"

"I'm not very knowledgeable about computer science. I'd like to ask you, is it possible for you to forcibly terminate the Cocoon Game program through that secret door before Noah's Ark notices?"

Upon hearing this, Professor Agasa was taken aback.

He blinked, then whispered,

"Well, maybe... but that's not the problem. The problem is that Noah's Ark conducted a self-check early this morning and removed the secret door I left behind. There's nothing I can do about it."

"However, since Mr. Village is still alive, perhaps if we join forces, we can try to hack in from the outside?"

That's terrible.

Kudo Yusaku frowned. Did that mean he had no way to counter Noah's Ark?

It seems that the only hope now is that Shinichi can complete the Cocoon game in one life and save all the players in this death virtual game. As long as Noah's Ark doesn't drastically change the script, Shinichi should be able to find the game assistant he set up.

That Sherlock Holmes will treat the children as the "Baker Street Squad" and help them solve cases.

"Brother Chen En, the situation outside is terrible."

"The super AI that was just advertised on TV has instigated a rebellion by Iron Man. They're saying that if the game can't be completed, they'll wipe out all the players. Think of something, Brother Chen En, think of something!"

Inspector Megure anxiously asked Wataru Takagi to help take Tadaaki Mura and Thomas Cindora out.

He spoke to Chen En as he spoke.

"Brother Chen En, isn't it time to put your super wisdom to good use?"

Chen En: ?

Why do you only say I have super wisdom at times like this?

I remember you and Conan used to secretly complain that I was a genius with nothing but amazing wisdom, right?

Chapter 408 Professor Agasa: Chen En, you tricked me!

Chairman of the Sindora Consortium, IT tycoon, and nominal developer of Cocoon Games and Noah's Ark.

Thomas Sindora appeared in the hall amidst great anticipation, and then he announced a fact.

Haha, we're doomed.

Once the Cocoon Game is started, it cannot be stopped until the game ends. Moreover, Noah's Ark was not an intelligent program he developed. The real developer of Noah's Ark was his adopted son, Hiroki Sawada, whom he forced to commit suicide.

In an instant, the crowd was filled with righteous indignation, wishing they could rush forward and chop Thomas Sindora into mincemeat.

Damn it, so Noah's Ark was meant to get revenge on you?

To get revenge on you, you're dragging fifty kids down with you? What are you trying to do? If the death game isn't completed, the Sindora Foundation will definitely go down with Hiroki Sawada, right?

"What the hell?! How is this game even possible?!"

A banker said angrily,

He slammed his hand on the table next to him and pointed at the game screen, saying...

"What kind of ridiculous game did you design? You're telling me to put a bunch of kids under fifteen years old in the Dakar Rally, the Colosseum, the Maze of Deception, and One Piece?"

"Tell me, if you throw fifty well-trained special forces soldiers in, can they pass any one of these four games? Apart from the 19th-century London in the middle, how can a human possibly beat the other instances?"

There is only one reason why the banker was so furious.

His son genuinely believed he could defeat the somewhat mythical gladiators in the Roman Colosseum, so he entered the Roman Colosseum instance, but he wasn't the only one who was furious.

Of the other four dungeons, which were obviously impossible to clear at a glance, forty out of fifty players actually entered them.

Only ten people are allowed to enter the only game where they have a chance to win!

What does this mean? If fifty players entered the 19th-century London instance together, they could have easily won just by brute force their way in. How could the game's win rate have dropped so visibly?
