The Phantom Thief of Heart! But Conan.

"What is it?" Seeing Conan hurriedly take out his mobile phone, Tang Ze kindly leaned towards him and held the phone steady for him.

Therefore, the live broadcast on Conan's mobile phone naturally fell into Tang Ze's eyes.

"Ah, it looks like it's been debugged." The little boy's smiling voice came out, and the Phantom Thieves logo that danced quietly in the center of the screen was lifted off like a curtain hanging before the stage. A black-haired head poked out from behind, "Can you receive the signal already?"

"Noah's Ark..." As soon as he saw the boy's robot body with very obvious features, Conan recognized the other person's identity.

As if he heard Conan's voice outside the screen, Noah turned his eyes, smiled and waved: "We meet again, Detective-kun. I just said, we will definitely meet again."

Although Noah, who was hanging on Karasawa's bag, could see the elementary school student living upstairs in person almost every day, the joy he felt when seeing him now was definitely not fake.

Being able to stand in his own space again and meet him in his true form was an unfolding that Noah had never expected.

Noah's eyes swept over Karasawa himself, who was standing behind Conan and looking at the screen with a smile.

There is a group leader with wild ideas, and his life is full of shocks and surprises.

"What are you doing?" Conan, who had not yet realized what he had seen, just thought it was an image sent by the Phantom Thieves through the Internet, carefully observed Noah's appearance, and asked tentatively, " Do you want to change the way to contact me?"

"Huh? Can't you see?" Noah stretched his hands behind him, grabbed the curtains on both sides and pushed them outward.

On a stage that looked somewhat familiar to Conan, two lines of large characters in the style of a newspaper clipping were displayed there.

[The Phantom Thieves special program is live now! 】

【Noah's Ark Amphitheater】

"After some time of preparation, we have restarted the stage and can't wait to show it to everyone who has participated." Noah turned around in a circle with his arms spread out, his face filled with joy, "Welcome our guests this time ——”

The screen went dark, then brightened again, and the camera focused on a woman's face.

She was wearing a yukata that she changed after bathing, and she tried to open the closed door of the Japanese room with a panicked look on her face. Due to her nervous state, her very fashionable wavy curls were stuck to the side of her face with sweat, and the corners of her eyes were carefully decorated. Fine lines are also exposed.

This is the missing Yumi Horikoshi.

Conan looked at the picture on his phone, then looked up at the Japanese room in front of him, feeling a strange sense of absurdity in his heart.

There is a high probability that Yumi Horikoshi was taken to a place similar to the current environment by the well-prepared Phantom Thieves. It is even said that they may have used the technology of Noah's Ark to directly generate a space that is the same as reality in the game. , making Yumi Horikoshi unable to notice the change in position, so that she tried in vain to escape here.

Although he understood this, comparing such a similar scene with the empty room in front of him, he still couldn't help but think that Yumi Horikoshi was here, but existed in a dimension they couldn't see. feel.

"Did you kidnap Aunt Horikoshi Yumi?" After dispelling this strange feeling, Conan did not forget Joker's previous preview and his own speculation, and asked, "Is she in your game world now? ,Noah's Ark?"

"This can't be called abduction... We just want her to participate in a test that can prove herself." Noah's clear voice came from the speaker.

Immediately afterwards, the confused Horikoshi Yumi suddenly heard a slightly ethereal child's voice, and was caught off guard and couldn't help but let out a scream.

"Who, who is it!" Yumi Horikoshi trembled with trembling lips and pressed tightly against the wall behind her. Her legs went limp and she slowly slipped to the ground.

Noah turned the camera at the right time, so that Yumi Horikoshi's taut body appeared in the frame.

Completely different from Conan's nervousness, the relaxed Karasawa watched this scene with interest.

I don't know if it was some kind of fate, but the position where Yumi Horikoshi was slumped happened to be the place where her body originally sat.

She really seemed to be listening to the verdict, sitting there stiffly, listening to Noah's children's voice with some electronic sound texture echoing.

"Hello, Ms. Yumi Horikoshi. Have you heard of the 'Phantom Thieves of the Heart'? Ah, judging from your face, you must have heard of it. So, have you heard of the holographic virtual game?

"Anyway, please allow me to formally introduce myself first. I am the artificial intelligence Noah's Ark, the manager of the holographic virtual game, and Ark of the Phantom Thieves of Heart."

Horikoshi Yumi breathed heavily until Noah was quiet for a few seconds, as if waiting for her answer, and then said with a trembling voice: "Holographic virtual game? You mean, this is a game?"

"That's right. Although you can't feel it now, after the brief dizziness when you stepped into your room door, you were already in my game. How about this level of simulation, is it enough to make it fake?"

Noah's voice was filled with a slight smile. He was really proud of it.

Being able to use the Different World APP to start and complete the conversion in such a short period of time, including the simulation and modeling of the environment, can be done so quickly without seeing any difference. He really feels that his abilities have improved.

Perhaps, this is the change brought about by the physical form he actually has in the real world after leaving the game space.

Even in the form of a rag doll, he could actually touch the real appearance of the world, and feel the blowing of the wind, the flowing of water, and the burning of the sun.

Along with this experience, he gradually gained some understanding, and his ability to build the world has ushered in a further upgrade.

Now, it's time to test the results.

Subconsciously touching her face, she lowered her head and groped for the clothes on her body and the tatami at her feet. Yumi Horikoshi was in disbelief: "Is this a game? Impossible, this is impossible...ah!"

The moment she questioned, a bunch of fire suddenly burned at her feet, igniting her bathrobe. Then, before she could scream in fear and pain, the flame suddenly disappeared, and her yukata was set on fire. The corners and floor returned to their original state at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Virtual reality games are amazing, aren't they, madam?" Noah's smiling voice sounded again, "Don't be afraid, you won't really be hurt."

"Then what do you want from me when you catch me here?" Yumi Horikoshi asked in a trembling voice.

Horikoshi Yumi was shocked by the scene in front of her. Listening to Noah's clear and lovely gentle voice, she knew very well that this not only proved to her that she was indeed in the game world, but also clearly expressed that, Failure to cooperate is more of a threat in a way that makes you miserable.

She is proud and sarcastic at heart, but her ability to live peacefully to this day depends on one of the few advantages in her character - knowledge and knowledge.

Especially when the contrast in power is stark and she actually has no choice.

Very satisfied with how quickly she gave in, Noah let out a chuckle.
