At this moment, a picture appeared simultaneously on many screens on the street.
And three identical text messages came to the mobile phones of everyone present.
The text message contained an emergency notice issued by the state, with a link attached.
After clicking on the link, I was quickly redirected to a scene exactly the same as the one on the street screen.
Soon, the Prime Minister of the country and Fujimine Masahiro appeared on the screen at the same time.
As the two men shook hands, the Prime Minister immediately began to explain the current situation.
[…Due to the terrorist incidents perpetrated by Moriya Teiji, many citizens across the country have been threatened.]
[But don't worry, we have already reached a cooperation agreement with Mr. Masahiro Fujimine, the chairman of Fujimine Group.]
[Next, Mr. Fujimine will mobilize a large number of personnel from the Fujimine Group to assist the police in resolving this incident.]
[Next, please allow Mr. Fujimine to talk about the arrangements of the Fujimine Group.]
Fujimine Masahiro bowed slightly and then spoke:
[Since the situation is urgent, I will cut to the chase and get straight to the point.]
[This incident is a major national crisis that requires the joint efforts of everyone.]
[According to our investigation, Teiji Moriya fraudulently gained the trust of hundreds of high schools, convincing hundreds of thousands of high school students to help him place dolls in the buildings he had previously designed.]
He told the school that the dolls were just a surprise for everyone. There would be an event later where anyone who found the dolls would receive a prize, so everyone was asked to hide them well.
[But in reality, each doll contains the same time bomb.]
...
...
[Please don't blame anyone. This incident was just the fantasy of Moriya Teiji.]
[Next, the police will evacuate the crowd, and our Tengfeng Group will dispatch a large number of mechas to dismantle the bomb as quickly as possible to minimize everyone's losses.]
[Everyone is requested to check their homes immediately and report to the local police station immediately if any child has brought this toy home.]
Then, a photo of the toy appeared in the corner of the screen.
[Even if it is a toy that looks like a bomb, please place it in an open area immediately as a precaution.]
[Also, starting tomorrow, those who suffered losses can report their losses to any of our Tengfeng Group companies. After verification, compensation will be distributed uniformly to everyone.]
[Then, mecha brigade, move out!]
The next moment, the scene changed, and thousands of mechas rose from the buildings on the ground and flew in all directions.
In the blink of an eye, it disappeared into the horizon.
Immediately afterwards, two mechas flew in from a distance and hovered in the air.
The brilliant energy wings looked particularly dazzling in the evening sky.
"So handsome!!"
Conan looked at the sky with burning eyes.
No boy would hate mecha, so naturally he likes it.
However, I used to think that mechas couldn’t exist and that the design concept was unreasonable.
"A mecha is supposed to be like a tank. How do they deal with bombs? Do they just detonate them?"
"But there are too many bombs inside. If a chain reaction is triggered, the entire skyscraper will collapse in an instant."
Chapter 171 I am a staunch materialist, how could I surrender to the enemy!
As the people in the mall were evacuated, a mecha leaped up and flew to the top of the skyscraper, aiming its gun downwards.
After a strange sound like lightning and thunder, the building was intact, and neither the structure nor the people were hurt.
Instead, the screens on the street, the reporters' cameras, and the smartphones in the hands of passers-by all lost their signals.
This scene left everyone below stunned.
Electromagnetic pulse weapons? But isn't this weapon, arguably the most powerful in the information society, still under research?
It is said that only a few major countries have made major breakthroughs.
How come it’s suddenly used in actual combat?
If even this kind of weapon can be mass-produced, why is no one using it on those two battlefields at present?
Soon, another mecha flew down from the sky and stopped in front of Megure Jusan.
"To avoid causing too much damage, we're using the smallest model. The electronic paralysis effect should last for about three hours. Please immediately arrange for personnel to enter the building and search each floor for bombs. We'll patrol the sky and help you find any gaps."
"Yes!"
Megure Jusan responded subconsciously.
Then, I was filled with emotion, as it turned out to be a mecha.
It seems that the technology is already very mature and can be used in actual combat.
Times are changing so fast that it wouldn't be strange if one morning we woke up and found that humans could suddenly enter space.
Conan looked around unconsciously. Everyone on the street was looking up at the sky in a daze. Several people's cell phones seemed to have exploded, injuring their hands, and were running towards this side.
But no one around paid any attention to them. They all stared at the mecha in the sky, with fanaticism and envy on their faces.
If it were any other time, Conan would have definitely run over to ask about the injuries of those people, but at this moment, he had no such thoughts at all, his heart was just beating wildly.
Mechas, energy wings, electromagnetic pulse weapons, lightsabers, these are definitely not technologies that can be developed overnight.
No matter how good countries are at hiding, they can't hide it so well.
So, there is only one possibility left.
The technology mastered by the Fujimine Group is at least 50 years ahead of the outside world.
Coupled with the network of relationships they spent 20 years building, combined with the Karasuma Group's connections of over a hundred years, it is like a huge spider web that tightly wraps around the entire Asia.
With such a huge force, is there anyone in this country who can really resist them?
Compared with this, what is the Karasuma Group, which has always followed the rules and grown through various illegal means?
When he came to his senses, Conan had already walked in front of the white curtain and asked in a daze:
"What is your goal? To conquer the world?"
"Anyone who wants to conquer the world in modern society has a mental problem. My goal is only to make life better for my family, nothing more."
Bai Mu paused, then asked with a smile:
"So, what is your purpose?"
"Uphold justice, bring all criminals to justice, and be a partner of justice, great detective?"
Conan remained silent.
I did have this idea before: right is right, wrong is wrong, and if you do bad things, you must accept legal sanctions.
But today, after receiving so many beatings, his mentality has changed a little.
I am not the kind of rigid person who must go against the times and make everyone listen to me.
Nor is he the kind of martyr who would sacrifice his life, family, and everything for the justice in his heart.
I'm just an ordinary fan who likes Sherlock Holmes and wants to be a famous detective like him.
After a long time, the tense expression on Conan's face gradually relaxed, and he said with a smile:
"Brother Bai, my goal is similar to yours. However, in addition to my own home, I also want to live in a better place."
"Although I'm a detective, and just like you said, I have special abilities that easily lead to cases, but I hate cases from the bottom of my heart, especially murder cases."
"If possible, I'd actually like to be a little detective like finding cats and dogs, preferably without even having to investigate infidelity."
"If that's the case, doesn't it mean that no cases have occurred and everyone lives in peace every day?"
If it were Kudo Shinichi, he would never say such a thing.
In the past, he would be very happy every time he encountered a case.
Compared to the cause of the murder, he actually enjoys the process of solving the mystery more.
But at this moment, he sincerely felt that peace was best.
"If one day in the future, no one needs detectives anymore, I'll just open a Yorozuya. I actually like the kind of Gintama."
Bai Mu was a little dazed. Although Conan was not actually a child, looking at him, he still had the inexplicable illusion that "children grow up so fast."
It's not a change in appearance. To be honest, he is still just an elementary school student.
But for some reason, Bai Mu Moran had the illusion that he had grown a lot in an instant, and even his body had become taller.
"Congratulations on your growth. Even Yusaku would have to look at you with admiration if you could say something like that."
"I hope you can always maintain this state of mind. If you do, your life will be completely different."
"Come to think of it, as your elder, I've never given you a birthday present, so I'll make it up to you today."
Conan found that Baimu was half-crouching and extending his right hand, as if to shake hands with him. He was stunned for two seconds, then extended his right hand and shook hands with him lightly.
The next moment, Conan suddenly felt something strange flash before his eyes, and it seemed that a strange ability had appeared in his body.
"What is this? A super power?"
"Shh...!"
Bai Mu raised his right hand to his lips, signaling him not to say anything, and then said with a smile:
“Everyone’s subconscious desires are different. Even if it is the same desire, the ability to form it will be different depending on the individual’s potential.”
"In short, I wish you can always stick to your original intention in the future."
ah…!?
What on earth is this?
Conan could clearly feel that the other party was in a good mood at the moment and had a very good impression of him.
In addition, a strong intuition told him that the other party was telling the truth without any falsehood.
"So, I've suddenly gained a superpower that allows me to sense other people's emotions and discern the truth from their words?"
"For a detective, this ability is like cheating."
But, is this possible? How can such a supernatural power exist?
The medicine that can make you smaller is still considered technology.
But such abilities, no matter how you look at it, are non-technological and belong to the category of magic.
Judging truth from falsehood, seeing through people's moods, etc., this is too idealistic.
As a staunch materialist, how could I defect to the enemy?
only--
"I'm not dreaming, am I?"
Not only mechas, but even super powers have arrived. Will ancient people and aliens appear in the future?
Thinking of this, Conan pinched the back of his hand unconsciously.
"Hiss...it hurts!"
"Haha... Don't worry, you're not dreaming. This is reality. So, what ability did you gain?"
"Can not you see?"
"I'm not a worm in your stomach, so how can I know what your wish is? But, um...it should be related to detective work, right?"
The truth.
"I can tell if someone is lying."
"What a useless ability."
The truth.
