【Conan】I just want to survive but I am forced to join the main plot

As Conan cleared the level, the remaining people in the first level gradually turned into white light and reappeared in the dark selection hall.

It was still the familiar steps. The first portal on the steps had dimmed, while the remaining four gates still emitted a faint light.

After most of the children discovered that they had escaped from the elusive sandworms, huge dinosaurs, and the glass plank that could collapse at any time, several children whose spirits were stretched to the limit burst into tears immediately.

There were 60 people when we went in, but only 39 people were left when we came out.

However, as an artificial intelligence, Noah’s Ark is overthinking if he expects him to give the children time to rest and adjust their mentality.

Even if Noah's Ark is willing, a certain black-hearted capitalist wearing a harmless skin will not agree.

Anyway, there is plenty of rest time in the second copy.

The second light door on the steps opened its mouth with a roar and swallowed the children who survived the first level directly.

Everyone's eyes were dazzled, and they came to the inside of a stone chamber about 20 meters in diameter.

Conan calmed down immediately and began to observe the surrounding situation.

This place is more like a cage than a stone chamber.

This time Noah's Ark did not divide them into teams, but gathered all the remaining 39 people together. The same bold text prompt as in the first level appeared in mid-air.

【Become the ultimate winner in this arena. 】

Unlike the first level, which even gave prompts for cooperative clearance, the instructions for the second level only have such a pitiful sentence. Even Conan couldn't extract it from this sentence at the first time. What useful information.

Xiaolan: "If you need to fight, I will go."

As soon as she finished speaking, there were heavy footsteps outside the stone room, and then a deep man's voice came: "So, you locked the guests in with those lowly slaves?"

"Master, director, our guests lost all their identity documents due to an accident, and when our escort team arrived, they were already mixed with the slaves... There was no way to tell them apart."

The clever ones among the children had quickly figured out the hidden information in these two sentences.

Some of these people like them are "guests" and some are "slaves". It's just that the NPCs outside seem to have no way to confirm who is the guest and who is the slave.

If my reaction is fast enough, can I confirm the identity of the guest?

After all, this is a gladiatorial arena. What are the slaves used for? Do you even need to ask?

For a moment, everyone had different thoughts. Mitsuhiko secretly tugged on Conan's sleeve, and then lowered his voice and asked, "Conan, shall we think of ways to steal the guest's identity later? The number of places must be limited."

Conan's face was sullen, slightly hesitant.

Because they couldn't tell the identity of the guests or slaves, they directly locked everyone in this prison-like place. The guest they talked about didn't seem to be of high importance.

If you really value your guests, even if you are under house arrest, you should choose a place like the living room.

Moreover, Xiaolan...

"I can't steal the guest's identity. If a slave needs to participate in a gladiatorial battle, among so many people, I am the only one suitable to do it."

Mao Lilan shook her head. As the only one of these people who had fighting ability, she would definitely not be able to watch the children become gladiators.

The door of the stone room was pushed open, and a little man with a goatee pushed the door open and came in. Next to him stood a big man who looked submissive and didn't seem to have a very bright mind.

Goatee narrowed his eyes and looked at everyone in the stone room.

An impatient child stood up and said, "Is this how you treat your guests? Just lock us up with humble slaves?

When I go back, I will definitely let my father teach you a lesson! "

Probably because he was used to saying such things, this little fat man with his chest puffed out, except that his face was a little pale, looked amazing at this moment.

Several other second- and third-generation people who were familiar with the little fat man also lined up, including Hideki Morohoshi, who was given the title of Hiroki, also claimed his identity as a "guest" and looked at the goatee with a questioning attitude. Little man.

Goatee smiled and touched his beard. When the children gradually felt guilty by his eyes, Goatee smiled and apologized to the 12 children who took the initiative to claim their identity as guests, and invited them to go to the VIP room immediately. Eat, then get some rest.

----------------------

Wakamu Ryo looked at Hideki Morohoshi who was claimed by Goatee on his own initiative, and squinted at the big screen where Noah's Ark was.

"Are you here, an official cheat?"

[Hiroki feels that the difficulty of this level is a bit too high. 】

Ruo Muliang clicked his tongue and turned to look at the situation in the hall.

Kudo Yusaku is worthy of being the ceiling of reasoning in the entire science world. When Conan and the others cleared the first copy, they had already confirmed that Thomas Schindler was the murderer of Tadahina Kashimura.

Mihua Municipal Building, the exhibition hall of "Cocoon".

Although Kudo Yusaku and others could not see what specifically happened in the game, Noah's Ark just reported information to the parents present.

Currently, 39 children have successfully passed the first level. After confirming that the device where Conan is located has not dimmed due to players being eliminated, Kudo Yusaku begins to solve the case with confidence.

Shinichi, come on.

He turned around and looked at the Megure Police Department, who also looked at his brother Kudo with expectant eyes.

"The biggest problem with this case is that there is a metal detector at the entrance of the Mihua Municipal Building. It is impossible for the murderer to bring the murder weapon in from the outside. So the only explanation is that the murder weapon was hidden in the venue from the beginning. internal.

Police Department, you should have noticed that there are many bronze statues arranged inside the venue, one of which has a short sword in its hand. "

Cold sweat broke out on Thomas Schindler's face.

The Memu Police Department was confused: "But there are so many guests at the venue. If you want to pull out that dagger, how can you avoid being witnessed by others?"

Kudo Yusaku turned his head and looked at Thomas sitting aside with a determined look.

"Of course he took it out when the equipment was introduced for the first time and all the lights in the venue were turned off. The murderer had already set the time, and then placed the fake dagger prepared in advance on the bronze statue. In this way, the lights After it lights up again, no one will notice anything is wrong.

My guess is that it is a temporary fake made out of tinfoil or something like that. After killing Kashimura, just find an opportunity to put the dagger up.

I just asked someone to conduct fingerprint identification and light sensitivity identification on the dagger.

The dagger produced a reaction consistent with Kashimura's blood type, and fingerprints were also found on the hilt. Mr. Thomas, would you like to guess who the fingerprint belongs to? "

Mumu Police Department:...

No, when did you ask someone to do the examination? Why do my men seem to listen to you more than they listen to me?

Wait, is Thomas the murderer?

The Mumu Police Department feels like there are a hundred thousand people who don’t understand?

A billionaire who wants to kill someone has to do it himself? Do you know that there is a profession in this world called professional killer?

You're the kind of person who gets things done as long as you give him money. You're a millionaire and you won't be short of money, right?

Thomas Schindler sneered.

"Isn't it normal to have my fingerprints on it? This is a decoration moved from my house. Not to mention the dagger, my fingerprints can be found on all the bronze statues."

Kudo Yusaku pushed up his glasses and smiled good-naturedly.

"is it?"

"Memu Police Department, please play this video tape. This is the surveillance tape inside the hall before and after the incident.

There is something very strange. I would like to ask Mr. Thomas to explain it.

Why are there no fingerprints of Hideki Morohoshi on this dagger? Judging from the surveillance, the child had clearly touched the dagger before the incident... and what's even more interesting is that I asked Officer Chiba to help me find this dagger made of aluminum foil in the trash can in the basement. There was that child's fingerprint on the sword. "

Police Department Memu looked back at Chiba, who was gradually getting closer to him. The latter touched his head and smiled naively at his superior.

Thomas Schindler clenched his fists and faced Kudo Yusaku's oppressive eyes, but for a moment he could not find any reason to refute.

Perhaps because he was worried about his son who was still stuck in the game, Kudo Yusaku rarely followed any procedures, but directly dumped all the evidence, and the Megure Police Department, who was forced to work overtime, took out a limited edition silver bracelet and gave it to him. To this rich man from country M.

On the top floor, Ruo Muliang smiled and said something to Noah's Ark.

"I have something to do, so I'll leave for a while. By the way, when I come back, remember to play it back for me~"
