Conan: I Am Not a Snake Spirit

"Ah good!"

Feng Jianyu also saw that a certain consultant was about to leave, thinking about what he had to do next, and did not ask for an invitation like a 'party to celebrate', so he went out.

Arriving at the entrance of the abandoned building, Chi Feichi suddenly paused and reminded, "Tomorrow morning is the opening ceremony of the first Umbrella E-sports competition. You should be there, right?"

"Ah? Is the opening ceremony tomorrow?" Feng Jianyu was also busy and confused. After thinking about it, he was still not sure about the time. He wondered why a consultant would ask this, and whether it was because they felt that they were playing games. , "We just relax together in our free time. If we have work to do, we will definitely focus on work, and we will not play online games or watch the opening ceremony of game competitions. Of course, if there is a task that requires us to go, We will definitely go..."

quiet.

The surroundings were silent, and there was no sound of any response.

Feng Jianyu also looked up and found that the person beside him had left at an unknown time, and at the end of the alley, a subordinate cast a suspicious look at him.

This... when did the consultant leave?

...

The next day, in the morning.

Umbrella Esports Campus.

The entry time for the competition venue is approaching. Those who arrived temporarily and those who lived in the hotel in the park one after another took the elevator to the 80th floor of the eight peripheral buildings, and then passed the corridor connecting the central tower.

An elevator with landscape glass goes up and down like the parts inside a large machine.

On the air corridor, a silver-gray metal-like conveyor belt is arranged on the central pavement, transporting people who step on the conveyor belt to the tower at the end, and also lead people to appreciate the high-altitude scenery outside the glass of the corridor.

Some people also choose to walk along the viewing window, slowly looking at the park overlooking the scenery, looking at the shopping plaza and the park on the other side.

"Wow! It's really cool here!"

Yuan Tai stepped on the conveyor belt, feeling parallel movement, stepped on the silver-gray metal under her feet, looked down at the seemingly invisible flowing light belt, and jumped outside the conveyor belt with bright eyes, followed by running two steps, and then jumping again. went back.

Seeing that more and more people were gathering in front of him, Dr. Li hurriedly reminded with a smile, "Alright, alright, I'll play this later, keep up with everyone, and don't get lost!"

"What does it matter?" Mitsuhiko also jumped around with Yuan Tai, and said excitedly, "Just look at the seat number on the ticket, and even if you are separated, everyone can meet!"

Ayumi also tried to stretch out her feet and jump out, trotting a few steps, and then jumping behind Dr. A Li, she said with a smile, "Conan, Doctor, why don't you try it too, when someone steps on the conveyor belt, there seems to be an electric current under their feet. running down the floor."

"It's just the effect of the induction device and the lights. Be careful, don't bump into others," Conan saw that the three children could play with a conveyor belt for a long time. He forgot that he felt fresh when he first saw it, and complained in his heart A child is a child, "And the opening time is only more than ten minutes. Let's hurry in. This one can come out and play again. It would be a pity if I missed watching the opening ceremony because of playing this, right?"

After thinking about it, the three children finally became obedient and stopped running around.

In the crowd at the rear, Kazami Yuya stepped on the conveyor belt in a formal suit, and made up various plots such as "a famous agent enters the base", and his expression was a little out of tune with the people nearby.

In the distance, Amuro put on a hat on his head, covering most of his face. He saw Yuya Kazami and did not step forward. He paid a little attention to the woman in casual dress and sunglasses in the crowd in front of him, and quickly retracted it. sight.

Why did Belmode come over to join in the fun?

It made him unable to watch the opening ceremony with Fengjian.

Forget it, anyway, he didn't promise Feng Jian, he just hid in the corner and finished watching it.

"Wow--!"

The crowd on the air corridor suddenly burst into exclamations, sweeping more and more people like waves, and the voices became louder, mixed with some people's surprise screams.

An Shitou found that those people were looking out the window, and looked out curiously, and quickly froze in place.

Outside the eight buildings outside, a circle of light moved upwards from the bottom little by little, in the blue and white metal exterior, it was like a circle of charged electric light.

In the sound of exclamation, the circle of light reached the promenade and became a straight line along the promenade.

The crowd could not see the promenade under their feet, but they could see the promenade adjacent to the left and right. Watching the magical electric light moving toward the central tower, the promenade was much brighter.

The central tower is a little higher than the eight buildings, and that part is the preparation area for the contestants and the eggshell-shaped arena, and the eight rays of light also climbed above the eggshell at the same time, converging in the middle.

In the preparation area of ​​the players, a team of young men and women in uniform team uniforms stood in front of the glass windows, looking at the crowded people on the park, high-rise buildings and landscape corridors from a height, listening to the cheers, reacting differently, some eyes Shining brightly, some grabbed the corners of their clothes nervously, while others walked with a dull look.

They were originally a group of people who liked to play online games and played relatively well. They were almost no more than twenty years old, and they were regarded as problem children in the eyes of others.

However, after staying here for three days in the long term and one day in the short term, everything they experienced made them suspect that they had a long and colorful dream.

Here, as contestants, they can stay in the sci-fi-style tower for free. All kinds of supplies are available in the room. Some sponsors provide simple but energetic team uniforms, and some investors provide Pay for meals and renting a venue for practice.

Starting this morning, they also saw the stars and entertainers who were expected to participate in the opening ceremony. Whether they came to say hello or met in the corridor, those people were happy to greet them with a smile and nod, and their autographs were no problem.

In a short period of time, their situation seems to be different from before, making it difficult for them to recover completely for a while.

Haibara Ai stood next to her own team members. After looking at the aperture, she looked at the reactions of a group of team members and reminded softly, "After the Japanese finals, there will be semi-finals and finals with players from other countries' venues. This is yours. On the battlefield, those who participate in the competition are the focus and stars on the battlefield, and the winner will be remembered even more. Your performance is also closely related to your future salary. I hope you will adapt to your identity as soon as possible and work hard for the battle. Likewise, if other teams can't adapt and don't play well, that's our chance, even if it doesn't work that way."

These words are a bit realistic, but they also make young boys and girls come back to their senses and start thinking about the game.

Especially after seeing the leaders or coaches of other teams whispering to the players and those players coming back to their senses one by one, these young men and women have a little more fear in their eyes.

Are you all waiting for other teams to make mistakes because they can't adapt? So crafty!

"But today is a relaxing time before the game. You still have a whole day to adjust. After participating in the opening ceremony, we will go to the game in the afternoon and play two dungeons at random. You should be able to enter the state as soon as possible, and you don't need to practice. , let's take it easy today..."

Haibara Ai said that, but her mind couldn't relax, sorting out the information she currently had.

'Royal Knights' who often brush dungeons online did not participate in the competition, but some of the people who took the quota to participate in the competition were also well-known masters in the game, and they had been won over by the Royal Knights. Using the 'Knight Sweeping' tactics used by the Royal Knights, the overall level is no worse than them.

The team of the old Jiroji is also very troublesome. He is also a tactical planner, and he is also heavily motivated. He is well prepared and inhumane.

In addition, there is another team that was organized only in the points competition. At first, it did not have the support of any big army in the game, but it won the finals place, and then contacted the sponsors. They are all elites that should not be underestimated, and the captain not only With strong game skills and great organizational skills, she always felt a little insidious and cunning...

Cough, every team is difficult to deal with anyway. Thinking about the global finals after the Japanese finals, she feels that she can go as far as she can. For the first competition, you must first find out the bottom of each team, and then you will be able to compete in the future. Develop effective tactics and strive for better results next year.

Don't worry about the old rivals suddenly disappearing. Umbrella has already given a way to connect e-sports with business. No one wants to let go of good players. Even if the original team is disbanded, some old rivals will still be active on the field. At most, it's just a matter of belonging to the team.

When the game is over, does she want to dig two powerful people for the team?

In this way, she felt that she would not get tired of spending three or five years in the team.

...

Countdown to the opening ceremony, 5 minutes.

The audience and the players sitting on the high platform are seated, the venue is ready for broadcast, the door is closed, and the transparent top window is slowly closing.

The venue illuminated by the sun was immediately dark, the countdown was projected in the air above, and there were also very realistic sci-fi electronic board projections all around.

In the low-pitched exclamation and discussion, the female voice chanted in a low voice, and the current on the projection electronic board also flowed with the melody, bursting in an instant.

Before the official opening, melodious and ethereal singing and rhythmic music had already sounded in the venue.

"you have my heart."

(you take my heart)

"We\'llneverbeworldsapart."

(We will never be apart)

"maybeinmagazines."

(even if separated)

"butyou\'llstillbemystar."

(You are still my guardian star)

"baby\'causeinthedark."

"You can\'tseeshinycars."

(you can't see the sparkle)

"and that\'swhenyouneedmethere."

(and you will need me)

"withyoui\'llalways share."

(And I'll be there for you)

Some people in the crowd have already called out Qian Heling's name one after another, and they quieted down and listened quietly in the sound effect comparable to a concert hall and the ethereal and dreamy female voice. (To be continued)
