Detective Conan: The System Takes Me to Zero's World

Conan hid under the green cloth, covering himself, and looked at the map on his phone. The direction of the patrol boat made him more certain: [It was not shown on the map, but the ship was heading towards the ocean buoy.]

Kuroda Heibei, Kudo Yuki and Officer Shiratori were sitting in the cabin.

Kuroda Bei glanced at Conan's position, crossed his arms over his chest, frowned slightly, and then looked away.

Kudo Yuki caught Kuroda Bei's gaze and looked in that direction. Her eyes passed through the cabin window and fell on the green cloth.

Conan was looking at a map on his phone. Kudo Yuki's mouth curled up slightly. She knew that Conan must have noticed something, so he took the risk to board the patrol boat.

Shushu moved on Kudo Yuki's shoulder and looked in Conan's direction. "Xiaoxue, why is Conan here?"

Kudo Yuki gently stroked Shu Shu's little head and communicated telepathically: "Don't worry, Conan must have noticed something when he came here."

She pretended not to see Conan and continued to sit back in her seat, waiting for the yacht to dock. She didn't know what kind of discovery would be waiting for them on the ocean buoy.

After the patrol boat docked, staff stood by and respectfully reminded: "Please watch your feet."

Kuroda Bei nodded and said, "Thank you." He was the first to step ashore.

Kudo Yuki and Officer Shiratori followed closely behind.

After the three people went ashore, the patrol boat headed back and forth to the navigation location.

Kudo Yuki glanced back inadvertently, and saw Conan covering himself with a life jacket at the escalator, the small figure trying hard to hide.

Kudo Yuki smiled, a hint of helplessness flashed across her eyes. Soon, she returned to her leisurely look and followed behind Kuroda Heibei.

Officer Shiratori looked around with amazement in his eyes. "It's really large. Miss Kudo, the facilities here look very advanced. I'm sure we'll get something out of this."

Kudo Yuki nodded slightly, looking around, secretly assessing the situation here in her mind.

Kurodabei paused, his eyes fell on the place where Conan was hiding with his life jacket. He frowned slightly and said in a serious tone: "Can you explain to me? Why did you come with us?"

When Conan heard what Kuroda Heiwei said, he knew that he had been discovered, so he took off his life jacket and went ashore.

When Officer Shiratori saw Conan appear, he was surprised: "Conan, why are you here?"

Conan remembered Kudo Yuki's instructions, lowered his head, and admitted his mistake in a child's way: "I came to see the whales but got on the wrong boat."

"Why didn't you say so earlier?"

Conan lowered his head and murmured softly: "I'm afraid you will be angry." He clutched the corners of his clothes tightly with both hands, looking very uneasy.

Officer Shiratori took out his cell phone and said, "I'll call the boat back and take you back."

However, he was stopped by Kuroda Bei. "Stop shouting. I don't want to keep Interpol waiting. Kudo, take Conan with you and protect him."

Kudo Yuki responded and walked over to Conan. "Let's go, Conan. Follow me closely."

Conan raised his head and followed closely behind his elder sister.

Shushu looked at Conan from Kudo Yuki's shoulder and said, "This little detective is quite clever."

Kudo Yuki stroked its little head and spoke to it telepathically: "Rat, don't make trouble."

The four continued to move forward.

Not far away, there were two people waiting for their arrival.

The man was wearing a suit and had a polite smile on his face. "Hello! My name is Makino, and I'm the director of the Ocean Buoy."

The woman next to him smiled and nodded to everyone. "My name is Naomi Akito, and I'm an engineer."

Officer Shiratori then introduced, "I'm Shiratori from the Metropolitan Police Department, and this is my boss Kuroda."

Kuroda Bei greeted politely: "Hello, thank you for your care today."

Makino Yosuke saw Kudo Yuki next to him, and there was a hint of surprise in his eyes. "What's this lady's name?"

Kudo Yuki smiled and said, "My name is Kudo, and I'm here on behalf of Manager Kuroda to protect this child's safety."

Makino Yosuke looked down at Conan, "Is this the kid who got on the wrong ship?"

Naomi Akito leaned forward slightly and asked with a smile: "Hello, what's your name?"

"My name is Edogawa Conan, please take care of me."

"Conan, please take care of me."

For a moment, the atmosphere became relaxed and harmonious.

Naomi Argento led the way and explained, "The entrance to the ocean buoy is right in front."

Conan was the first to walk up the stairs, his eyes sparkling with curiosity, as if he had seen this kind of scene for the first time, and he shouted excitedly: "Wow, this is amazing!"

Having said that, he ran forward.

Naomi Akito had a worried look on her face, fearing that Conan would be in danger: "Wait a minute, Conan."

Conan stood at the edge of the circle, "It's so big, is it a hole?"

Naomi Akito put one hand across Conan's body, "This is the entrance, watch carefully."

Kudo Yuki walked to Conan's side. At this time, the mechanism was activated, the sea level was rising continuously, and the surrounding fences were retracted into the mechanism and hidden.

Gradually, the ocean buoy appeared in front of them. The magnificent sight made Conan exclaim in his heart: "How amazing!"

Makino Yosuke introduced: "This is the entrance. Most of the facilities are below the sea surface, and the force of the waves is offset by the sinking and floating of the ballast tanks. The facilities are built in the sea to cool the huge number of servers."

Then, several people entered from the entrance.

Conan took small steps, looking around constantly, "It's like a buoy floating on the sea."

Naomi Argento answered, “So this place is called the Ocean Buoy.”

Several people took the elevator down to visit. The elevator ran smoothly, making a slight buzzing sound.

Officer Shiratori looked at everything around him in amazement and exclaimed, "This is really..."

Naomi Akito spoke up: "The main control room is down there."

Conan pointed to one spot and asked, "What is that?"

"That ring can generate electricity with the help of ocean currents. The Kuroshio Current is very strong around here," Naomi Akito explained patiently.

The elevator reached the bottom and stopped, the door opened automatically, and several people came out.

Makino Yosuke led a few people to tour the floor, and said in a loud voice: "This floor is also the living area for the staff. You can reach the main control room by crossing the corridor."

A fish made a sound, and Officer Shiratori asked in confusion, "What is this?"

Yuki Kudo answered: "The sound of whales. After all, humpback whales are also called singing whales."

Conan looked up, "Was that picked up by the sonar?"

Naomi Argento praised: "Conan is amazing! You know so much."

Conan smiled shyly and continued to follow Kudo Yuki. He had a shy expression on his face, as if he was a little embarrassed by the praise.

Makino Yosuke stood in front of the door. "Thank you for walking so far. This is the main control room."

As the door slowly opened, Conan opened his mouth wide, shocked by the ultimate technology inside.

Makino Yosuke led a few people in, "Let me introduce the main staff. Grace from France."

Grace smiled and greeted with her glasses: "Hello."

The moment Kudo Yuki saw Grace, she was shocked. Under the effect of the "True Appearance Reveal" skill, she saw Binga's face, speaking in a female voice.

However, Kudo Yuki had already learned how to hide her emotions. Her face remained calm, without revealing any flaws.

Makino Yosuke looked at the man busy at the main console. "Ryan Hart from Germany."

Ryan Hart nodded as a greeting.

Makino Yosuke then looked at the man standing next to him, "Ed from India."

Ed nodded and looked at the others, "Please advise me."

"And then there's me, Naomi Akito," she said as she sat down on a nearby chair, a smile on her face, full of pride in her work.

Makino Yosuke added: "They are responsible for carrying out this mission."

Officer Shiratori took off his coat and put it on his arm, then walked over and asked, "Excuse me, is this the police surveillance footage from around the world?"

"Yes." Makino Yosuke looked at the main screen, "Today, surveillance footage from all of Europe will also be connected, and in the future, surveillance footage from all over the world will be gradually connected."

Officer Shiratori praised: "It is worthy of being an Interpol facility."

Ryan Hart was a little unhappy when he heard this, and a dissatisfied look appeared on his face: "Yes, this is Interpol. But why are the police from the island country here?"

Binga, dressed as a woman, spread his hands and said, "Because the facilities in Frankfurt have been invaded."

Ryan Hart turned his head away unwillingly, with a stubborn look on his face, expressing his dissatisfaction.

Makino Yosuke spoke to ease the atmosphere with Ryan Hart.

"We also need to take precautions, so we asked the Metropolitan Police Department to come."

Ryan Hart's voice was filled with complaints and dissatisfaction. "It's too unfair to only disclose the latest technology to the police in island countries."

"This country is also a member of Interpol, so it is reasonable to provide them with technology if necessary."

Ryan Hart's voice was full of sarcasm: "Because the supervisor here is from an island country, he should take care of your country in every way, right?"

Makino Yosuke frowned when he heard this. He was obviously disgusted by this. He had a serious look on his face as he thought about how to respond to this question.

Seeing this, Naomi Akito stood up and approached Ryan Hart, "Don't say it. If you must say it, I am also half Japanese."

Ryan Hart murmured, "No wonder I don't like you."

Naomi Akito was displeased: "Retract what you said, this is racial discrimination. And you..."

Ed interrupted, looking at the screen: "I think it's about time."

Upon hearing this, Makino Yosuke looked at the time on his wrist and said, "Everyone, take your positions."

All staff members returned to their respective posts and began to concentrate on their operations, with the sound of keyboard typing rising and falling.

Kudo Yuki, Conan and Officer Shiratori also evacuated the staff's work area and began to look at the next big screen.

Makino Yosuke walked up to Kuroda Heibei, with a hint of apology in his voice: "I'm sorry, Ryan Hart seemed to have had some friction with the police in various European countries before coming here."

As the numbers on the big screen counted down, all staff began to prepare to take over the country's surveillance.

When the number on the big screen switched to zero, the screen showed loading, and the takeover was completed in less than a minute.

Officer Shiratori couldn't believe it: "So we can view surveillance footage from all over Europe? And it also has facial recognition."

Makino Yosuke explained while operating the computer: "There are many other technologies that can be used. One of them is the all-age recognition developed by Naomi. Let's test it now."

Officer Shiratori was puzzled: "All-age recognition?"

Naomi Argento turned her chair. "My father is Italian and my mother is Japanese. She grew up in the United States. I used my childhood photos to test it, and calculated my appearance when I was old and young based on the skeleton, and then drew it back with CG. This is the full-age recognition system."

She motioned for everyone to look at the big screen and said, "This is what I saw on the surveillance camera on my way here from the police station today."

Makino Yosuke continued, "Using this system, we can track fugitives and trafficked people around the world."

Officer Shiratori was surprised after hearing this: "What an amazing system."

The brother and sister just watched silently without showing any emotion. Their eyes were full of thought and vigilance as they analyzed the advantages and disadvantages of this system.

After the test was completed, Naomi Argento stretched. "Take a 15-minute break, then continue testing various devices. Would you like some coffee?"

As she finished speaking, she saw Kuroda Heibei, Officer Shiratori and Makino Yosuke chatting and laughing nearby.

Conan took the opportunity to speak: "I'll go ask them. Sister Xue, come and help."

"Thank you!"

Kudo Yuki smiled and said politely, "You're welcome."

As the siblings went to order coffee, Shushu's ears perked up. "Xiaoxue, I heard two people sneaking in here."

Kudo Yuki frowned slightly, but soon relaxed. "Shu Shu, pay attention to who those two are. What are they going to do?"

Shushu opened the system screen to check, "It's Toru Amuro and Vermouth."

Kudo Yuki's footsteps paused slightly, and Conan noticed that something was wrong with his elder sister, "Sister Xue, what's wrong?"

"Nothing, I hope it's just my imagination."

Conan was confused by these nonsensical words, but he also knew that his sister must have discovered something unusual.

The brother and sister both held cups of coffee, with wisps of steam rising from their mouths. They walked slowly forward, passing by Amuro Toru and Vermouth, who were dressed as staff members here.

Toru Amuro and Vermouth both wore masks and baseball caps, covering their faces tightly.

Amuro Toru pushed the cart, the wheels rolling gently on the ground, making a slight sound. He glanced at the siblings inadvertently, opened his eyes slightly, and muttered to himself: "Xiaoxue and Conan, how come they are here?"

Vermouth lowered her hat with one hand, and her eyes also showed surprise. She looked at the siblings and thought silently in her heart: [Silver Bullet and Aurora.]

Conan held two cups of coffee in his hands. Seeing Binga dressed as a woman, he followed her in small steps. "Where's Naomi?"

"She went to the bathroom. Let's go back first."

"Yeah." Conan nodded obediently and followed him.

Kudo Yuki looked calm, and passed by Amuro Toru and Vermouth as if they were staff members. She returned to the main control room with a few cups of coffee in her hands.
