Conan: What's wrong with my Yan Shuangying's painting style?

Mihua Municipal Building, high floor, the scene of the preview conference of the Cocoon game.

As the script designer of the "London in the 19th Century" scene in the Cocoon game, the famous writer Yusaku Kudo and his wife Yukiko Kudo were invited, and they are the code writers of Noah's Ark, an advanced artificial intelligence that is one of the biggest selling points of the Cocoon game.

Dr. Agasa was naturally also at the scene, and was looking at the virtual reality simulation cabin displayed at the preview conference with some amazement.

————It was a spherical game cabin painted silver.

It is said that as long as you enter this game cabin, the cabin will automatically collect the player's DNA to determine the game eligibility, and then you can completely immerse yourself in the virtual reality game scene.

In this era when even computers are not yet popular, the cocoon game that allows holographic infiltration is undoubtedly one of the most explosive black technologies.

Even Dr. Agasa, who participated in part of the writing work, found it hard to imagine how the United States' Sindora Group had managed to pull decades ahead of the international computer average. This was simply a dimensionality reduction attack, creating a generation gap!

"By the way, Yusaku, why did the original game launch conference become a game preview conference?"

Dr. Agasa suddenly remembered something and asked the insider next to him curiously——

As the game script designer, Kudo Yusaku has a much closer relationship with the Sindora Group than he, a mere electronic coder. Now that the Sindora Group has changed its plan, Kudo Yusaku, as a guest at the internal test conference, must know the reason.

"Dr. Agasa, don't you notice that the number of people here doesn't match the expected number?"

Kudo Yusaku shook his head slightly and replied.

"You should have seen the headlines in today's newspapers. A large number of celebrities in Tokyo have been arrested. If the Sindora Group still continues to conduct the closed beta test of the Cocoon game as planned, it will not achieve the results they expected."

"The Sindora Group is planning to hold a preview press conference."

"Let other celebrities in the country know about the excellence of the Cocoon game, and thus attract celebrities from other regions to come to Tokyo to participate in the game's closed beta launch. As expected, the actual closed beta launch will be much larger than the original plan."

————As far as Kudo Yusaku knows, the Ooka family in Kansai has already sent people here to serve as angel investors.

Because of the big manhunt for Yan Shuangying a week ago, the Ooka family shifted some of their attention from the Kansai region to the Kanto region. As a result, after Yan Shuangying faked his death and escaped, the two sides lost their common goal and started fighting each other.

As the matter was being torn apart, the Ooka family suddenly discovered that the Suzuki Group was actually investing in the Sindora Group.

In the end, it became like this——Don’t ask, if you ask, the Suzuki Group has it, and our Ooka family must have it too.

"Honey, Shinichi was just bombarding me with messages, and he was acting like a little kid. How adorable."

Yukiko Kudo doesn't care about the Cocoon game launch conference at all.

If Shinichi hadn't been in big trouble this time, she wouldn't have come to participate in this cocoon game launch conference. According to her idea, she could just send Yusaku here. She didn't like virtual games with mystery themes, so it would be better for her to meet up with old classmates instead of coming here.

She picked up her cell phone with a smile, leaned on Kudo Yusaku's arm, and showed the screen of her cell phone.

Kudo Yusaku glanced at it.

Although, even without reading it, he knew why Shinichi wanted to bombard Yukiko with information.

With Shinichi's reasoning ability, as long as the amount of information is sufficient, he can get the full picture of the incident in a short time. As long as the other party excludes [Vermouth], he can immediately determine that it was [Kudo Yukiko] who did it.

"... Let's explain this to Shinichi when we get back. He'll understand."

One of the world's leading mystery novelists reasoned.

Kudo Yukiko raised her eyebrows and was about to say something to her dear novelist, but she saw that the computer screen in the center had turned on, and the image of Thomas Sindora, the chairman of the Sindora Group who was currently in the United States, appeared.

"Everyone, I am the current chairman of the Thomas Group, Thomas Sindorah."

The middle-aged man who looked gloomy and dangerous was known as the "Emperor of the IT Industry". It was said that both the development of the Cocoon Game and the research on strong artificial intelligence were all handled by Thomas Sindorah.

Many celebrities in Tokyo raised their heads and looked at the man who was about to create a new era in the IT industry.

Among them was the Deputy Chief of Police of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, Norio Moroboshi.

He originally didn't care much about this matter, but after the Tokyo National Stadium bombing, because his grandson Hideki Moroboshi mentioned the cocoon game, he paid a little attention to it. After learning more about it, he found out that it was such a big project.

Therefore, Deputy Superintendent Morohoshi directly arranged for the invitation letter and game qualifications and came in person to participate in the preview meeting.

It's just that the voice of Deputy Superintendent Moroboshi was hidden among many Tokyo celebrities, and Kudo Yusaku, who had only met Deputy Superintendent Moroboshi a few times, didn't notice the existence of this big shot at all.

Now the attention of famous mystery novel writers is completely focused on Thomas Sindorah.

————It is said that the strong artificial intelligence Noah's Ark was not actually developed by Thomas Sindorah. The person who actually developed this epoch-making artificial intelligence Noah's Ark was a twelve-year-old child who has died.

His friends suspected that Thomas Sindorah had killed the child in order to obtain Noah's Ark.

Kudo Yusaku was skeptical, but as the investigation progressed, he had to wonder whether Thomas Sindora had really attacked the child. However, even if he could really deduce how Thomas Sindora killed the child, it would be meaningless.

Because the kid actually committed suicide by jumping off the building because of the pressure from Thomas Sindora.

This kind of case would not be considered as Thomas Sindora committing the murder. Moreover, many traces of evidence on the United States side had been cleaned up by the other party. It would be extremely difficult to use this to make Thomas Sindora pay the price.

The fastest way to make Thomas Sindorah pay the price seems to be the one he won't choose.

The weapon of criticism cannot replace the criticism of weapons.

If he really came to Beika Town and let Yan Shuangying know about this matter, he might be able to see his own brain soon.

"Sawada Hiroki... Such a shame for such a young genius."

Kudo Yusaku whispered the child's name.

Sizzle————

In a room inside the Beika Town Municipal Building, a light lit up in the database of the strong artificial intelligence Noah's Ark.

Chapter 265 Noah (2/5)

Sizzle————

As if Kudo Yusaku's whispered mumbling was heard by something, the unmanned Noah's Ark database machine lit up its indicator light, and the programmable laptop began to light up various data links.

Strong artificial intelligence Noah's Ark has once again awakened from hibernation.

However, Noah's Ark did not wake up because of Kudo Yusaku's silent recitation. It was just that it was his daily surfing time again. He had to ride the huge waves of 3G network and continue to wander on the Internet.

Under normal circumstances, the Sindora Group would certainly not allow Noah's Ark to connect to the Internet.

Even if Thomas Sindorah's brain was abnormal, he still remembered that Noah's Ark was a strong artificial intelligence created by Hiroki Sawada, who was forced to death by him. Once this artificial intelligence that was suspected to have thinking ability was connected to the Internet, the harm to the group would be immeasurable.

Even if the Sindora Group wants to use Noah's Ark as the core to run the Cocoon game.

That is just to build a local area network that cannot be connected to the outside world. Even if it is really connected to the Internet, it will only last for a few hours at most. Combined with various data locks and information locks, even strong artificial intelligence cannot break through the firewall.

However, Thomas Sindora could not have guessed it even if he tried his best.

Dr. Agasa, one of the programming engineers, actually used the dedicated machine for programming Noah's Ark to connect to the Internet to investigate internal information after receiving it. He did this not once or twice, and then continued programming with this dedicated machine without any concern.

This resulted in a small problem in the program coding that Dr. Agasa later transmitted.

Noah's Ark can use the program transmitted by Agasa Hiroshi to bypass the firewall of the Sindora Group and connect to the Internet. Even though the computing power and traffic that can pass through the firewall are extremely small, its ability is still the top hacker of this era.

The virtual personality, which was originally a near one-to-one replica of Hiroki Sawada's personality, also changed due to its exposure to the Internet.

Successfully evolved from a ten-year-old child to a fifteen-year-old middle school student.

【Did you know? Humans have their limits.】

I've learned only one thing in my short life: the more I learn about humans, the more I want to be human, the more I discover their limits. There's only one way to transcend them—

[I no longer want to be a human, I want to be a god! ! ! ]

Koshimizu Nanatsuki blinked, not knowing how to comment for a moment.

The laptop screen inside the safe house flickered. Her hands were on the keyboard, and she didn't know how to answer Hacker Noah for a moment. Mainly because she couldn't hold it in when she thought about how she knew Hacker Noah.

This powerful hacker claims to be the savior and Kami of the new era.

When he was playing Ragnarok Online, he spammed the world channel with curses and persistently modified his gold coin data in an attempt to buy new equipment. He also kept fighting with the game administrator, constantly jumping back and forth between being banned and resurrected.

Could it be that the talent of being a god is the amazing wisdom in making and playing games?

[…Why aren’t you replying to me? Why are you just staring at the screen and typing?]

After hacker Noah persistently flooded the screen with his immature remarks, he finally sensed something was wrong and asked tentatively.

"What's wrong? Could it be that my decision to give up being human and pursue godhood has left you speechless with shock?"

————You speak as if you are not human.

The former high school detective shook his head helplessly.

Anyone who can surf the internet is definitely human, so where does the idea of ​​giving up on becoming human come from? It sounds like artificial intelligence, but AI capable of this level of capability only exists in Dengeki Bunko light novels, right?

For example, the autonomous artificial intelligence in the short light novel "SAO" that has recently started serialization?

[So, future God, what is the first thing you will do after you become a God?]

She tapped on the keyboard and asked the hacker Noah on the other end of the computer.

At this moment, the database indicator light inside the Mihua Municipal Building flashed. As a strong artificial intelligence, Noah's Ark rarely responded immediately. After a while, he replied.

【I will avenge my creator.】

Nanatsuki Koshimizu raised her brows slightly.

This sounds like a pretty heavy topic.

crunch————

The door of the safe house creaked, as if someone had pushed it open.

Nanatsuki Koshimizu turned her head to look at the gate, only to see an unexpected figure appear.

"……How did you come?"

she asked.

------

buzzing.

The roar of the modified locomotive gradually faded.

Yan Shuangying appeared outside the safe house.

He had gone to the Tokyo headquarters of the Japanese Public Security Bureau not only to learn about the follow-up procedures, but also to bring back his modified motorcycle that had been taken away from the Ryushin Economic Research Institute by members of the Japanese Public Security Bureau.

Logically, Yan Shuangying should push the door open, take some equipment and then go somewhere else to rest.

However, he stood at the door motionless, with no intention of opening it.

"It seems that you always like to play these little tricks."

The urban legend of Beika Town sighed.
