The world is restarting

Horse-drawn carriages gallop through the streets of London at night.

Because the guests in the car demanded that the speed be as fast as possible, the driver had no choice but to give up the control of comfort, and almost rushed towards the destination in a rampage posture.

The person sitting in the car must hold the seat and use the greatest strength to fix himself in the position, otherwise he will be thrown out by inertia and fall into a string of rolling gourds if he accidentally follows a turn of the carriage.

The surrounding space seemed to be swaying with the carriage, and the sound of horseshoes galloping on the empty road seemed to be stepping on people's hearts.

In the tense eyes of everyone, Sawada Ya opened his eyes, "In that direction."

She stretched out her hand and pointed to the east, which was the destination they were going to now.

Conan: "Did you really go to Dongcheng District..."

The wheels of the carriage did not know which stone was crushed, and the people in the carriage were bumped to resonate together.Sawada Tsunayoshi hugged his sister tightly with one hand, only feeling his heart "thump".

"Mi sauce, Conan, what did Chu Xingjun go to Dongcheng District in the middle of the night? Why do I always have a bad feeling..."

Sawada Ya turned her head, under the dim light of the kerosene lamp, the boy's delicate baby face showed an abnormal whiteness, and the eyebrows were tightly knitted, almost full of anxiety.

"Ni Jiang." She lowered her hand and took hold of the boy's fingers clasped around her waist, "...Don't worry, nothing will happen."

This sentence was as light as a falling feather, covered by the noise of the bumping carriage, Tsunayoshi Sawada obviously didn't hear clearly, and lowered his head in surprise, "What did you say, Mi-chan?"

Ya Sawada shook his head, and heard Jiang Shouhuang still questioning Conan.

"Edogawa, Chu Xing, what on earth did he go out to do at night?"

She turned her head and glanced over there. Under the dim light, Conan's expression was more dignified than that of her brother.

After all, he really knew what was going to happen.

"That's not Chu Xing," he said in a deep voice. "To be precise, he is not the Chu Xing Xiushu we have seen outside the game. His real name is Sawada Hiroki...or Noah's Ark."

"!!!"

Whether it was Jiang Shouhuang, who asked the question, or Sawada Tsunayoshi, who happened to notice over there, they were all stunned when they heard such an unexpected line.

"Since we entered the game, he has quietly replaced Chu Xing. We have always known him in the game. With the control of the game, changing your appearance is not a problem..."

"But Chu Xing... no, hasn't Hiroki helped us a lot?" Tsunayoshi Sawada seemed to come to his senses suddenly, and hurriedly robbed him, "I always feel that he shouldn't be a bad boy..."

"...he is not a bad person." Conan unexpectedly did not refute his words, and said in a low voice with slightly lowered eyes, "Noah's Ark is the posthumous work of the genius boy Sawada Hiroki who developed the DNA tracking system. After completing this intelligent AI that can grow independently, he committed suicide. Noah’s Ark inherited his will, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is his legacy in the network.”

"His original intention to seize control of the game was indeed out of dissatisfaction with Japan, a decadent and rigid society that still continues the ancient hereditary replacement system, but it may not be that he hopes that after experiencing this experience, Japan's next generation can have a better life." What has changed, will no longer continue to rot like their parents."

Hearing this, Tsunayoshi Sawada subconsciously turned his head and glanced at Jiang Shouhuang, who was beside him with a dazed expression, "If that's the case, then, he didn't really want to hurt us, did he?"

"Maybe that's the original intention, but have you forgotten, Brother Gangji, this game has gotten out of control."

Edogawa Conan finally raised his head, his pupils seemed to hide an obscure shadow under the flickering lights, "Even Noah's Ark couldn't stop the game and let us out, and the others didn't care, but he sure He didn't want to hurt you and Mi, so what can he do at this time..."

"..."

Conan's eternally calm voice sounded from the shaking carriage, like some kind of announcement of the ending.

"As an extension of Hiroki Sawada's will, if he wants to break out of this cage, he can only adopt the same method as him...suicide."

"As long as Noah's Ark as a carrier collapses and the world cannot continue, we can all escape from this cage—he must have thought so."

"Brother Gangji, do you want to stop him?"

There was a dead silence in the carriage, except for the footsteps of horseshoes continuing to gallop forward, even the heartbeats of everyone in the carriage seemed to stop for a moment.

Ze Tianya looked up at his brother, his face was stunned and shocked, the cruel truth hit him like a heavy mountain, and he couldn't even recover from it.

If Noah's Ark is allowed to sacrifice himself, this dangerous and terrible game can be over, and they, including the more than 50 innocent children involved in it, can be saved safely.

In the final analysis, this incident was caused by Noah's Ark himself. In the final analysis, he was not considered a real life. They did not force him. For the sake of the more than 50 lives he lived, he chose to sacrifice himself. I feel guilty because everything is voluntary, isn't it a perfect happy ending?

——If it's someone else, it doesn't even need to be a bad person, but ordinary people with less than perfect morals and a little bit of selfishness will probably think so.

but……

Little Loli held the boy's hand tightly, as if wanting to give him encouragement and courage.

Brother won't.

He is definitely not the kind of person who can take it for granted to watch others sacrifice for himself. He is not the kind of person who will throw heavy responsibilities to others and shrink back to be an ostrich.

Even if others don't think it's his fault or responsibility, he certainly doesn't think so.

It is impossible for him to agree, and he will never accept such a so-called "happy ending".

"...I want to stop him."

She heard the boy's firm voice that didn't match his usual soft personality, "I'm sorry Conan, I will definitely take you through this game, but before that... I have something to say to Hiroki, I There is something I must want to tell him!"

This is not right.

She saw her brother's clear eyes saying so firmly, this ending that must be sacrificed by someone is absolutely wrong, they are far from the end of the mountain, and far from the time when they must compromise on the predicament.

"So Conan, Jiang Shou, I'm sorry it can't end like this, I'm going to find him, so... um, that, Conan, can you please..."

Although the tone was very tough at the beginning, it really softened again later.

Under the dim light, no one noticed that the black-haired boy who was carefully pleaded with gently hooked the corners of his lips.

"You don't have to feel sorry." The calm voice interrupted Zetian's unspoken words.

Sawada Tsunayoshi was taken aback, and before he had time to recall the meaning of this sentence, he saw the black-haired boy raised his immature face, smiled innocently and said, "We are on our way to find Hiroki now. ah."

"what?"

"I also don't think you can just leave your companions alone, right Jiang Shou?"

"Huh? Uh, oh..."

Jiang Shouhuang, who was suddenly mentioned, nodded dizzily. He seemed to have been clogged with the central processing unit by the amount of too complicated information. Capacity, you can do whatever you say.

So, in the absence of any objection from all, the carriage continued to drive to the original destination.

The carriage took them to the street near the river beach in Dongcheng District and left. Seeing some of their children running here in the middle of the night, the kind coachman also reminded them that homeless people would gather here occasionally, so be careful of the danger.

After thanking the driver, they walked out of the city and towards the river outside the city.

The peculiar smell of the river was carried by the night breeze from afar. I don't know if it was because of this, but there were almost no people living near the river beach.

It was pitch black in front of him and behind him, and the fog was too thick. Only the lantern in his hand illuminated the square inch of land in front of him.Coupled with the fact that the surrounding area was too quiet, you could only hear your own footsteps while walking on the road, making the atmosphere even more weird. After a while, someone finally couldn't help but raised a topic.

Jiang Shouhuang: "Conan, how do you know that Chu Xing is here?"

Sawada Ya was holding his brother's hand to pay attention to the stones under his feet, and raised his eyes when he heard this.

Edogawa Conan, who was asked, walked in the front with a lamp, "I met him here when I came to revisit the crime scene in the morning. This is the starting point of the whole world's change. He should have realized it. Only in this place as the source can he accurately separate the world controlled by Noah's Ark from the world where the mutation occurred, and then send us out safely."

"Here is the starting point?" Jiang Shouhuang showed a puzzled expression, and continued to ask, "How did you find out?"

Conan dropped a bomb without looking back, "Because this is where Jack was born."

"?!"

Before the overwhelmed people asked questions, Conan, who was walking in the front, suddenly stopped.

"You...do you feel that the smell in the wind is a bit wrong?"

Being reminded by him, everyone sniffed subconsciously.

The clearest thing in the night wind is the smell of something rotten and stinking. The smell is not too strong, but it can't be ignored at will. It's like the silt deposited at the bottom of the river. Once you step into it, it will only sink deeper and deeper.In addition to this, there is a lingering, and getting stronger...

"The smell of blood?!"

Tsunayoshi Sawada, Akira Esho and Conan Edogawa almost spoke in unison, and then ran towards the source of the smell of blood—the river bank outside the city.

"It's over, it won't be too late, right?!" Jiang Shouhuang's voice sounded like he was about to cry.

Conan said quickly in front, "No, if Hiroki was dead we would have been ejected from the game long ago, unless he didn't have time to do it or..."

Before finishing a sentence, he suddenly tripped over something under his feet. He lowered his head with the help of the light in his hand, and the voice behind him was suddenly drowned in the throat.

His sudden stop caused the people running behind him to brake suddenly. Sawada Ya and her brother braked successfully at the same time, but Jiang Shouhuang, who was running at the back, failed in the judgment and was driven forward by inertia and hit the ground. On the backs of the two, the little silver-haired loli, who had already stood still, was accidentally attacked and almost fell forward on the ground. Fortunately, he was grabbed by Conan who reacted quickly.

And at this moment, a bloody smell hundreds of times stronger than before was poured into her nostrils, almost condensing into substance to squeeze out the air. At the same time, a corpse suddenly appeared in front of the light. in the field of vision.

It was a woman, her facial features could hardly be seen clearly under the blood-stained makeup, she was still wrapped in a long skirt that could not block the wind in this cold windy night, and her full breasts were extravagantly squeezed out from the neckline of the skirt ——You can almost guess her professional attire at a glance.

She was randomly thrown on the river beach like a disemboweled fish, the blood had not yet solidified, and the scene above the legs and below the chest was extremely cruel.

Sawada Ya just glanced at it before being covered by the people around her.

At this moment, she heard the voice that Alice conveyed to her mind through the contract.

Her tone seemed to have never been so flustered.

"Mi, run! Someone has stimulated Jack, and she is killing me! I can't stop it, uh..."

Alice? !
