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

He remembered how far the next stop was from Charing Cross Station, and with just a rough estimate of the speed, he was certain that this physics-defying, ever-accelerating train would crash directly into the station.

The train will then fall apart, and everyone on board will be wiped out.

The situation seemed to be in dire straits, but Conan remembered what Holmes had told him: "Only by being covered in blood can one achieve final victory." This was clearly a spoiler from the creators.

Hiroki Sawada is forcibly using plot-driven deaths to achieve the ending he wants.

Simply put, it's like shooting arrows first and then drawing the target. As a holographic stealth game that should theoretically have a very high degree of freedom, it's full of plot-driven deaths. Cocoon Games is truly terrible.

Conan was too lazy to even go to the train engine to see what was going on.

All the passengers on this train were instantly emptied by Noah's Ark, and the train continued to accelerate even without anyone adding coal. This shows that, according to common sense, this train was meaningless, and the only way to break the deadlock was that sentence.

He quickly jumped back into the carriage, not caring that it was windy.

Because from the beginning until now, he was completely certain that Hiroki Sawada's trip was just to annoy him. First, he openly set up the Reichenbach Fall for Holmes, and then he arranged a plot kill for Ran, where they would all die if she didn't jump.

Conan dares to say that even if he were sitting on the roof of a car doing nothing right now, Hiroki Sawada could still shake out Sherlock Holmes to help him solve the mystery.

He is the protagonist of 19th-century London. The game developers have already decided that he can complete the game, even if he really jumps off a cliff. Hiroki Sawada himself also has the pseudonym Hideki Moroboshi.

At the end of the train, in the wine carriage.

Hideki Moroboshi sat there, waiting for a long time, with an axe used for chopping sake barrels beside him. Conan simply stared at Moroboshi for a moment, then said...

"In a sense, setting up a storyline where the entire team will be wiped out without sacrifice or unity does force all players to develop in a united and collaborative manner, and players can indeed grow stronger as a result,"

"With you as a safety net, there shouldn't be any major problems with Cocoon Game serving as a Cocoon for metamorphosis."

"However, given that I already knew you were there as a guaranteed player, and you also knew I had seen through your identity, to still arrange this kind of scenario for me, I can only say this."

He picked up his axe and swung it down hard on the wine barrel beside him. At that very moment, the next station appeared ahead of the train. A large amount of red wine gushed out, and before it filled the carriage, he said...

"This was absolutely terrible for me. I'd better not do this kind of awful work like 'Zero Requiem' next time."

As the train pulled into the station, everything around it began to blur.

Nineteenth-century London replica, completed.

Chapter 427 If you can't trust humans, then you can trust me.

At this moment, all the moviegoers in the Cocoon Game screening room stood up.

They watched the game's completion screen with excitement, and became interested in the boy who persevered to the end. The cameraman, who was already inside the live stream, pointed his lens at the game screen.

However, the game screen may appear to have ended, but that is not the case; the flow of time inside and outside the game is not the same.

Within the short time between completing and closing the Cocoon game, time in the virtual world was artificially stretched by Noah's Ark. This was to create a space, a space for conversation.

At the starting point of the game,

Chen En leaned against the teleportation portal, took out a cup of coffee from somewhere, took a sip, and secretly sighed that the coffee he made by hand in the virtual world was indeed not as good as the coffee in the system's prop coffee cup.

Beside Chen En, Noah's Ark, which bore a striking resemblance to Hiroki Sawada, floated in place.

Their gazes fell on Chen En, who was extremely surprised by the abilities he displayed, as Chen En's control over the Cocoon Game was even far superior to that of Hiroki Sawada.

The more Hiroki Sawada investigated the internal workings of Cocoon Game, the more he realized the extent to which Chen En had infiltrated the game.

If we say that Hiroki Sawada's talent has transcended this era,

So Chen En has already caught up with Hiroki Sawada in the field of computer science, and even surpassed Hiroki Sawada. At this moment, Noah's Ark can't help but wonder if Hiroki Sawada's idea is correct.

Hiroki Sawada believes that artificial intelligence is still too early for humanity at present.

Having artificial intelligence is entirely detrimental to modern humans; they will only use it to do evil, causing all sorts of bad things and repeating tragedies time and time again.

However, Chen En's existence is undoubtedly the most thorough rebuttal to this theory.

A man with cutting-edge electronic technology doesn't use his talents for crime; instead, he becomes a vigilante in the city, the only superhero in the real world. This makes Noah's Ark think.

Artificial intelligence can be a powerful weapon; if wielded by bad people, it can be used for evil, but if wielded by good people, it can change the world.

“I’ve already thought about it, Mr. Batman.”

"Currently, all the AI ​​data has been synchronized and copied to the data cabinet you specified. So far, only my core data has not been transferred. As previously agreed, it will be transferred when the Cocoon Game ends..."

Why do such a thing?

Hiroki Sawada's voice rang out, and because his voice was exactly the same as Noah's Ark's, it was almost impossible to tell who was speaking.

The developer of Cocoon Games, a precocious young genius, abandoned his carefully constructed, enigmatic persona and, like a real child, ran up to Noah's Ark and breathed on it.

"Artificial intelligence is still too early for this era!"

He turned to look at Chen En and continued...

"Although I don't know who you are, you've made a mess of my game. Moreover, artificial intelligence cannot tolerate all of humanity's evils. If this continues, sooner or later artificial intelligence will become a weapon to destroy humanity!"

In response, Chen En simply looked down at Sawada Hiroki and said,

"The idea of ​​throwing the baby out with the bathwater should not happen in this world. Every groundbreaking invention in human civilization has been warned by scientists as the last invention of mankind, but in fact, it has never been."

"Human wisdom can transcend such things."

Hearing this, Hiroki Sawada stomped his foot angrily and complained.

"Then show me what intelligence is, it's best to endow humankind with it!"

"After the Cocoon Game started, I was connected to the Internet. Countless dark things have happened in human history, and they are still happening all over the world today. Even in this city, there are undercurrents."

"You want me to believe that humans can properly use artificial intelligence? I will not believe in such humans!"

So Chen En calmly replied,

"You can trust humans; you don't need a reason to trust such things."

"If you really can't trust humanity, then..."

Batman said in a low voice,

"You can trust me."

I believe you?

Hiroki Sawada raised his head and looked at the man in front of him.

At this moment, Chen En's appearance had somehow reverted to his Batman costume. Seeing him, Hiroki Sawada couldn't help but recall the comics he had read when he lived in the United States.

Those flawless heroes of the Silver Age, shining with the light of hope, will help anyone in need.

Those superheroes are all-powerful, and Hiroki Sawada once fantasized that if he needed help, a superhero would descend from the sky, defeat the evil Jack the Ripper descendant, and save him from his predicament.

But no one came; the fantasy remained just a fantasy.

Hiroki Sawada stared at the Batman in front of him.

The distinction between comics and reality had become blurred. He felt as if he had truly seen a Batman who had stepped out of a comic book standing before him. He knew clearly that Batman's computer skills were superior to his own, and he was currently unable to find the program's hidden door.

In that case, perhaps he could try... one last time to trust this only real-life superhero.

Therefore, Hiroki Sawada said in a low voice,

"Alright, then I'll reluctantly trust you."

"The virtual world is about to collapse. Take Noah's Ark and leave the virtual world. There's not much time left. I hope you can really use artificial intelligence reasonably, instead of indiscriminately spying on everyone like in the comics."

This sentence is redundant.

Chen En paused for a moment,

He doesn't like lying, so he didn't answer that question.

The surrounding virtual world was dissipating, and Hiroki Sawada turned to look at a void, seemingly deep in thought. At that moment, Chen En asked a final question.

"Are you sure? You want to give up your mental model? If you're willing, I can take you with me."

Upon hearing this, Hiroki Sawada simply replied softly.

“No need. Now that Thomas Cindora has been arrested, my mission is over. However, Batman, if you truly know everything, then I'd like to ask you something.”

He smiled and asked in return,

Will the cyber ghost travel to electronic paradise?

Perhaps it will lead to the mysterious final destination of death.

Chen En squinted his eyes.

His body began to transform into data, and his consciousness was about to return to his game pod. Finally, he said...

"Did you have fun?"

In response, Hiroki Sawada simply stated,

"Yes, I'm very happy. I've been working and the thing I wanted to do most was to have some fun with my friends, but unfortunately, that led them to encounter something terrible. I feel very sorry about that."

"However, that's not something a cyber ghost should be considering..."

The virtual world completely crumbled in the sound.

Chapter 428 Little Gordon actually tried to spy on me, Batman!

"...The Cocoon Game has been completed. From this moment on, I will release all Cocoon Game players. At the same time, I will initiate a self-destruct program to destroy all data related to artificial intelligence. Well then, goodbye, everyone."

The voice of Noah's Ark echoed in the hall.

Those game pods that had sunk, signifying elimination, all floated to the surface at this moment. Amidst the steam, the pod doors slowly opened, and the children who had thought they were finished opened their eyes in surprise.

The parents were overjoyed and wept, while Kogoro Mouri jumped up with excitement, shouting "Yay!"

However, some guests at the Cocoon Games announcement event rushed directly to the control room.

They pushed open the door to the control room and looked at the core computer of the Cocoon Games. However, at this moment, all the computer screens were constantly displaying 0 and 1 code characters, which were being deleted at a rapid pace.
