Social terror players, forced to become king

This is a traveling exhibition of jewelry, sponsored by the Suzuki Foundation, and the Mihua Museum is just the first stop of the jewelry exhibition.

Later, the luxury cruise ship Soest will depart from Tokyo Port, travel along the offshore for four hours, and finally arrive in Yokohama.

During the voyage, a grand banquet will be held on this 180-meter-long and 37-meter-high cruise ship, and elites from all walks of life will be invited to appreciate jewelry and even conduct jewelry transactions.

As the sponsor, the Suzuki Foundation presented the world's rare diamond—the Heart of Hope as the main exhibit.It was polished into a rose shape and weighed 107 carats.

Because of Kaitou Kidd's warning letter, the originally tight security was raised to the maximum. In addition to the police department Ginzo Nakamori and a large number of policemen under him, he also cooperated with the local high-level security company in Yokohama.

Makoto Nanigong, an ordinary high school student living alone on the surface, is not qualified to participate in this high society feast, but because of Suzuki Sonoko's warm invitation, he also "caught" the qualification to enter the cruise ship.

And Mao Lilan's father, Mori Kogoro, is a famous detective who has been in the limelight recently. He has solved many cases recently, so he was invited by Suzuki Sonoko's father, Suzuki Shiro, the organizer of this jewelry exhibition, to Soest On board, carry out possible reasoning and capture Kaitou Kidd.

At this time, Mori Kogoro, Mori Ran and Edogawa Conan are about to follow the guards and transfer from the Rice Flower Museum to the Soest cruise ship.

Standing in the hall of the opening party on the first floor of the Mihua Museum, in just 3 minutes, there were no less than five waves of policemen walking back and forth on the deck outside the floor-to-ceiling windows.

"The security here is so strict." Mori Kogoro was a little speechless.

"After all, the world's top jewels are gathered here, and the protective measures can't be too strict." Suzuki Shiro said with a smile.

On the other side, Mao Lilan was standing and talking with Suzuki Sonoko and others.

"I don't know if the puzzle in the notice letter has been solved." Mao Lilan said to Suzuki Sonoko next to him, "Will the Kaitou Kidd take advantage of the transfer of jewelry from the museum to the cruise ship?"

"It's possible." Suzuki Sonoko said, suddenly becoming excited, "Then I must take a close look at what Kaitou Kidd looks like."

Edogawa Conan, who was listening on the sidelines, showed half-moon eyes.

After a brief episode, he began to lower his head and meditate on the content of the notice letter he saw in the office, trying to solve the mystery.

Ever since experiencing the reasoning crush of the Edogawa family in the dungeon, Makoto Qigong has completely lost interest in solving puzzles.

Even if the game system comes with a voice pack that allows the player to be proficient in the language of the world, there is no way for him to instantly understand various pseudonyms, variants, and allusions.Let Mr. Mori and Kudo Shinichi have a headache for such poetic and metaphorical titles.

Qi Gongcheng's mentality is quite relaxed, he just thinks it's a vacation.

In the presence of all the police and security personnel, the opening ceremony of the jewelry show officially began, and five top gemstones including the Heart of Hope were displayed on the stage.

An hour later, with the movement of the special cars, the gemstones that were exhibited first were sent to the Soest cruise ship, and displayed to the guests together with the jewelry that had been placed on the ship.

During this process, the Kaitou Kidd never appeared, and only left another provocative notice letter.

Police officer Nakamori was furious and vowed to catch Kaitou Kidd.

Soest luxury cruise ship.

Measuring only the numerical values ​​of length and height cannot produce a clear concept at all. The height of this ship is 14 stories, which is flush with the building next to it.Before reaching the port, the big ship can be put into view.

It has a huge exhibition hall inside, the floor is covered with carpets, and the main venue can be reached by walking along the wide stairs.Inside the cruise ship that can accommodate 1200 people, the number of guests participating in this jewelry exhibition has reached [-]. They are all celebrities from all walks of life, and there are many rich people in the world.

——Of course, this is not enough to surprise Nangong Makoto, who has seen all kinds of spaceships in the interstellar world.

He followed Maori and his party on the cruise ship, and he could see that the composition of the security personnel had changed.In addition to the original police, a quarter of the people were replaced by well-trained men in uniform black suits.

This should be the security personnel sent by Yokohama Port Co., Ltd. that Sonoko Suzuki once said.

Suzuki Sonoko quietly talked to his good friend Mao Lilan: "Listen to my father, this company has a wide range of businesses. According to rumors, it seems to have some connection with the Jidao organization."

Hearing this, Conan Edogawa's complexion turned pale when he walked between the two of them.

"But after all, it's just a rumour, and it can't be true." Suzuki Sonoko continued grinning.

However, the dignified look on Edogawa Conan's face never changed, obviously keeping her words in his heart.Combined with the fact that these security personnel are all dressed in black, could it be that...these people have something to do with the organization that forced him to drink drugs to turn him into a child?

Makoto Qigong looked at the child who was facing an enemy in doubt. Could it be that the message from Kaito Kidd was difficult?Why did Kudo Shinichi look shocked.

Officer Nakamori standing on the deck also had an uneasy expression.

Yokohama is a very special city with basic self-government. It is also the destination of the Soest cruise ship. The police in Tokyo are easily out of reach. Therefore, the ship has to work with the security personnel at the port to maintain order and reach the destination conveniently. ground handover.

Therefore, he did not have full command and mobilization rights when arresting Kidd, and could only discuss with the leader of the port.

After all the guests arrived, the Soster set sail from Tokyo Port on time. At this time, the last ray of sunset was disappearing from the sea level, and the cool sea breeze that belonged to the night was blowing to the deck.

A considerable number of people gathered in the hall for jewelry display, and there were also guests who ate and talked in the banquet hall on the first floor downstairs.

It was dinner time.

Mori Kogoro entered the social place with red wine in his hand, and laughed with his head up because of the compliments from the people around him.

The juniors gathered on the other side, Qi Gongcheng had already taken the food, and was sitting at the dining table, cutting the steak in front of him with a knife, with grape juice in the goblet next to him.

After he came here, he hadn't tested the drinking capacity of this body in the game, so in this kind of public place, it's better not to try drinking at will.

To avoid overturning.

After all, it was a banquet, and Qi Gongcheng didn't have the nerve to wrap it up a few more times. On the one hand, it was not handsome enough. On the other hand, if he was surrounded by bandages, even if he knew that these people were just NPCs, he would still be embarrassed.

So he settled for the next best thing, and put on glasses that covered most of his face, revealing a tall nose bridge and a perfectly curved chin.

The two tails of the glasses frame are firmly tied by him with thin chains, so there is no need to worry about the glasses accidentally slipping off and causing disasters to people around.

Qi Gongcheng secretly praised his wit.

"I really don't understand why Cheng-kun always covers his face." Mariko Suzuki sat opposite Makoto Qigong and complained.Whether through a mask or sunglasses, the other party's exposed skin is perfect, but until now, she and Xiaolan have not seen a complete face of Qi Gongcheng.

Although a person wearing sunglasses appears in this kind of jewelry exhibition, it's not unobtrusive.

"Keeping a sense of mystery is also a very romantic art." Makoto Qigong is very stable, "Just like Kaitou Kidd, he is a magician full of secrets."

Anyway, no one would have guessed that the current Phantom Thief No. 1412 is just a high school student.

Through the sunglasses, he glanced at Edogawa Conan, who seemed to be ignited with fighting spirit. According to the inertia of the game plot, there is a high probability that there will be a wonderful duel between detectives and monsters later.

Qi Gongcheng finished eating soon, and after talking to Mao Lilan and the others, he walked to a place by the window alone, looking down at the sparkling sea water outside.

The lower floor of this banquet hall is the jewelry display cabinet, and both floors have one-sided floor-to-ceiling windows, so the view is excellent.

Qi Gongcheng looked down at the police force and black suits walking staggered underneath, and suddenly found a person walking behind him.

The Prosthetic Eye of God has an extremely superior ability to observe the environment. It is said that it is the eye used by God to record the changes in the world. Therefore, even if there is almost no footsteps coming, Makoto Qi Gong immediately noticed him.

It was a young man in a black suit and top hat, not tall but very imposing.The well-tailored suit outlines the thin waistline, and the goblet in his hand is filled with a small half glass of wine.

"Long time no see." The visitor said, "Aye."

[Congratulations to the player for achieving the activation condition A of the dungeon, and the activation condition B of the dungeon is to be unlocked. 】

Qi Gongcheng couldn't hold back his expression for a while, but fortunately, the huge sunglasses concealed the change of his expression.

Another copy of an earlier timeline?Has even the name changed?

He was a little surprised, feeling as if the plot was coming to him one after another.But thinking of his identity as a player, the system will inevitably guide him to the center of the most exciting plot storm.

Because he had experienced the oolong who was recognized by Edogawa Ranpo but he didn't know him, this time he didn't ask the other party's identity like last time, but nodded slightly, watching the changes.

"Sorry," the young man with orange-red hair said again, "Your current name...is Cheng?"

"Yeah." In line with the principle of saying more words and making more mistakes, Qi Gongcheng answered the other party's syllable in a muffled voice.However, judging from these two short sentences, the other party's character seems to be surprisingly good.

"Are you very busy there recently? I haven't contacted you all the time." Zhongyuan Zhong also raised the brim of his hat, looking a little uncomfortable.

Qi Gongcheng thought for a while, and was about to answer, but noticed something and looked back.

"Oops!" A boy accidentally fell down, and the coins in his wallet spilled all over the floor. He frantically picked them up, and two of them landed at the feet of the orange-haired youth.

Edogawa Conan stepped forward to get the coins, but a gloved hand picked up the two round coins before him.

"Here." The young man said lightly, his cobalt blue eyes swept across the boy's body without emotion.

Edogawa Conan's body was slightly stiff, and his fingertips trembled slightly because of the conditioned reflex of the other party's gaze.

This man, he has the same breath as the gin we met on the Shinkansen train!They are one type of people, and I am afraid that they all come from that black organization with a high probability.

Damn, after realizing that this young man was the leader of those characters in black suits, Edogawa Conan tried to use the method of scattering coins, and took the opportunity of picking up things to install a bug on the opponent's trouser legs.

However, what he didn't expect was that the man would help him pick up the coin.

- Then there is no reason to approach.

"Thank you, big brother." Edogawa Conan raised his head and said cutely in an innocent voice.

"It's okay." Nakahara Chuya said, this little episode was not taken to heart by the young man.

Zhongyuan Zhong also turned his head and said goodbye to Qi Gongcheng: "I still have something to do, so I will leave first..."

Halfway through the speech, the surrounding lights suddenly went out, and the field of vision was completely plunged into darkness.

Qi Gongcheng's eyes instantly adapted to the change of light and shade. Even through the sunglasses, he could clearly see the orange-haired youth walking towards him. .

Following the opponent's strength, he was pulled into an empty corner.

"Stay here and don't move, I'll check the situation." Zhong Yuan Zhong also whispered to him.

Qi Gongcheng didn't respond and watched the other party leave.

He glanced at the progress bar of the main task. After he met the orange-haired youth, the main task of obtaining the prop "book" moved by 0.5%.Although it is stingy, it has indeed made progress.Therefore, there is no doubt that the clue of the "book" is in Yokohama.

The jewelry showroom is on the lower floor, so most of the guests are also concentrated below.Qi Gongcheng didn't listen to Chuya Nakahara's instructions at all, but left the place after seeing him go.

Of course, to watch Kaitou Kidd, Edogawa Conan ran over!

There was a commotion among the guests due to the sudden power outage, and Qi Gongcheng easily walked down the stairs relying on his night vision ability.

When he arrived, he happened to see the white-clothed magician standing under a circular spotlight, bowing to everyone and exiting.

Makoto Qigong deeply suspected that it was the system's bad taste. At this time, the green font on the top of this man's head changed his position when he first met him, and became "Kaito Kid (Kuroba Kaito)".

Then, in full view, the moonlight magician disappeared out of thin air.

But Qi Gongcheng observed more details. Covered by a conspicuous white cloak, the other party quickly jumped off the booth and changed his clothes within a second.

When the lights came on, Kaitou Kidd had already transformed into a rich man with a big belly. Just like all the guests around him, his expression was panicked and confused, and he stood there without blushing or panting.

Qi Gongcheng: "..." That's amazing.

But in fact, Kaitou Kidd secretly wiped a cold sweat.This time, the high-level members of the port mafia actually participated on the ship, and the difficulty of committing the crime has increased significantly.

Fortunately, "Heart of Hope" is not within the scope of the main protection of the Port Mafia.According to the information he collected, what they are actually going to escort this time is another batch of jewelry, and the things in the main exhibition hall are just incidentals. As long as there is something wrong there, they will not spend too much energy to trouble "Phantom Thief Kidd" .

Moreover, outside of Yokohama, where there are many dignitaries in public places, there are many police officers. Considering the deterrence of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department as an official organization, the probability of open shooting by the port mafia will be much lower.

Fortunately, there was no danger, and the "heart of hope" finally arrived.

Thinking of the dummies in the cabin that were smashed into a sieve by those black suits with silencer guns, Kaito Kidd wiped off his cold sweat again.

The guests gasped in surprise.All the police were mobilized to arrest Kaitou Kidd.

Qigong Makoto watched the Kaitou Kidd go out of the door after changing his appearance, so he also hurriedly followed.

The clues of the main missions are generally hidden in the major events that the players participate in. This time Kaitou Kidd is a highlight character, and there may be some secrets worth exploring.

As a participating guest, Qi Gongcheng was interrogated for a few words when he went out, and he was delayed for a while before letting go.While he was being interrogated, Edogawa Conan ran out from between the adults' legs in a hurry, but the police didn't take the children's running around to heart.

This kid is definitely chasing Kaitou Kidd.

Qi Gongcheng simply followed.

"Conan!" he yelled.

The pupil looked back at him, the pupil didn't stop at all, the pupil continued to run forward.

Is this the attraction between phantom thief and detective?

Qi Gongcheng complained in his heart.

The two ran onto the deck one after the other.

At this time, all the policemen were attracted by the chaos in the hall, and the people of the port company were caught by the strange thief Kidd in some way.On the contrary, the defense here is weak.

"Why have you been following me, two... gentlemen?" The rich middle-aged man turned around calmly, and said calmly.

"Of course it's because you covered everyone's eyes and ears with a special trick." Conan Edogawa glanced at Makoto Nanakiya who was following up, and said to the strange thief youth.

"When everyone's eyes were drawn to the white clothes, he used the dark environment to escape. He also has a superb disguise technique." Qi Gongcheng added while leaning on the railing.

"You are Kaitou Kidd." Conan concluded, facing this magician who was about his actual age, he ignited his fighting spirit.

Listening to the words of the two, the middle-aged man first showed a look of astonishment, and then smiled softly, that is the voice of young talents.

With the rustling sound of clothes swaying in the air, the strange thief in white stood in place, without any embarrassment of being poked through his eyebrows and eyes wearing a monocle.

Qi Gongcheng glanced at the main task, well, the progress has not changed.

Until Kaitou Kidd was about to run away, the progress bars of the three main quests remained motionless.

Is it necessary to catch him to count as progress?

Kaitou Kidd, who was chatting with Edogawa Conan, suddenly felt a chill behind him, and met Makoto Nanakiya's reflective sunglasses.

"Then goodbye, big detective." Out of trust in his intuition, Kaitou Kidd no longer dragged his feet, but said quickly.

As the gun fell to the ground, the white cloak disappeared in the intense light.A flying magician in white appeared in the sky.

Conan Edogawa jumped to the side of the boat, then turned around again, his expression was not too depressed, and he had expected this scene.After Kaitou Kidd stole the jewels, he would return them after a while.Confronting each other is more about the thrill of solving puzzles.

The boy turned his head, wanting to ask Makoto Qigong beside him for some information, but the sight of him turning around made his eyes widen.

On the huge deck, he was the only one left standing alone, with the cool sea breeze blowing on his cheeks, making him look extremely desolate.

when did he leave

Conan Edogawa thought to himself.

Kaitou Kidd got rid of Conan Edogawa and landed lightly on the lifeboat that had been prepared.Suddenly, a voice came from behind.

"Phantom Thief Kidd, your technique is really clever, but you probably didn't expect me to wear sunglasses."

The magician shrank his pupils, turned his head, and saw a boy in a dark blue suit sitting at the stern, with one leg bent, and a large square sunglasses on the bridge of his nose, with only one corner of his lips curled up. Shi Shiran was sitting there.

Kaitou Kidd showed a slightly tense expression for the first time, and then he casually covered it up.

"You're a detective too?"

"No." Makoto Qigong stood up straight, denying the speculation of the ghost thief, "I'm just an ordinary person with better eyesight."

"If you are not absolutely sure, it would be foolish to reveal all your trump cards to the magician." The magician who had the same appearance as Kudo Shinichi suddenly broke into a smile.

He raised his hand, and at some point there was a gun in his hand, pointing directly at Qi Gongcheng's vitals.

Kaitou Kidd pulled the trigger almost without any hesitation.

Qigong subconsciously dodged back, and in this gap, the magician under the moonlight disappeared, leaving only the sparkling sea and the sky with the last quarter moon hanging.

The cards passed by the boy's ears and fell into the boundless sea.

In fact, Qigong Makoto didn't move at all. Just now, he subconsciously used the ability of God's Prosthetic Eye to distort Kuroba Kaito's vision, making the other party think that he was sitting next to him.

"Hey——" Edogawa Conan's voice came from above, "Brother Cheng, I'll let other people come up to rescue you!"

Makoto Qigong raised his head. The distance between the deck of the cruise ship and the water surface was so high that they had to shout loudly to hear the sound.

When he disappeared in front of Edogawa Conan at first, Kaitou Kidd actually used a clever trick as well.

It was a dummy flying away wearing the hang glider, and he himself jumped out of the boat while Conan was focusing on the dummy, and with the help of the three-claw hook, he slid down the rope all the way to the Get ready on a small boat.

But this method can't deceive God's Prosthetic Eye, so Qi Gongcheng simply slipped off the rope with Kidd the Kaitou.

It's just that his current physique is only that of an ordinary person. With such a difficult movement, the ropes on both palms have worn out the skin.

Conan Edogawa was only blinded by the Kaitou Kidd at the beginning. After finding that both of them had disappeared, he quickly figured out the key point, so he called the police officer Nakamori Ginzo, and asked him to help find Qi Gong. Sincerely fish it up from below.

"Thank you Conan today, otherwise it might be difficult for me to come up." Qi Gongcheng said.

He glanced at the progress of the main task, and was disappointed to find that there was no progress. Therefore, Kaitou Kidd might not have anything to do with the main task at all, wasting his time in vain.

Qi Gongcheng was calm on the surface, but in his heart he was furious and put the other party on the same list as ordinary white-named NPCs.

As the person who faced Kaito Kidd face to face and almost caught him, there are many people around him at the moment, besides Edogawa Conan and his party, there are police officer Nakamori in charge of security, some guests, and people from Yokohama Port Co., Ltd.

Everyone is asking him about Kaitou Kidd.

But as a social phobic patient who seldom communicates with others in reality, even if he can face NPCs peacefully in the game, Makoto Nanigong cannot be eloquent.

So these people only made him feel more and more at a loss, and the black sunglasses supported his last sense of security.

"Your hand hurt?" A familiar voice suddenly came from beside the ear, and the Yokohama youth with orange hair came over at some point and asked, frowning.

Without waiting for Qi Gongcheng to nod, Zhong Yuanzhong said to the people around him: "He was injured a little and needs to be treated. Everyone please spread out."

Although the young man who spoke was not tall, he had an aura of calmness and prestige, so that everyone couldn't help but move out of the way according to his wishes.

Qigongcheng followed Zhongyuan Zhongya all the way out, looking at his back wearing a top hat, he felt a strange sense of security inexplicably.

The other party was very careful, and even bandaged his wound with his own hands.It seems that in the previous copies, they were very familiar with each other.

Zhong Yuanzhong also carefully tapped the surface of the wound with a cotton swab. After cleaning it, he wrapped it with two bandages.

As soon as he raised his head, even through the sunglasses, he could feel the other party's gaze.The skin behind Nakahara Chuya's ears turned red involuntarily.

He lowered his eyes in a concealed manner, and said, "In the future, for this kind of thing, just contact me or other members in charge of these things directly. Don't do it yourself."

"I see." Although Qi Gongcheng observed the change in his expression, he didn't understand what it meant.

He just kept the principle of talking less, so as not to be noticed by the other party that he had no memory with him at all.

If there is no condition to trigger the dungeon, it is estimated that he will have to go deep into Yokohama.However, for the sake of safety, before that, it is still necessary to find more curse spirits and increase the level of God's Prosthetic Eye.

The improvement of survival points also needs to be included in the schedule, because the game values ​​​​are fixed, and the character level will not change because of his exercise. The only way to increase the level is to pile up survival points.

When the Soest arrived at Yokohama Port, the matter finally came to an end.

After returning from Yokohama, Edogawa Conan seemed to inadvertently asked Makoto Nanakiya: "Brother Makoto, do you know the man in the black suit?"

"It's not acquaintance, he is a very good person." Qi Gongcheng's answer was ambiguous.

And Edogawa Conan thought about his answer.

They have since returned to their daily routine of continuing to attend school.

On a gloomy rainy day, Makoto Qigong walked slowly along the alley to his home with vegetables and meat bought from the supermarket and an umbrella.

With the patter of rain, Qi Gongcheng rarely felt at ease.

However, a black shadow falling on the ground in the distance attracted his attention.

It was a little girl with brown hair, wearing ill-fitting clothes, lying unconscious on the side of the wet road.

The most important thing is that she has a very prominent name on her head - Shirley (Miyano Shiho).

Why is she here, with her body getting smaller?

Qi Gongcheng frowned, looked down at the girl who fell on the ground, he moved the umbrella in his hand, covered the raindrops, and enveloped her figure.

You can't let her lie here, you have to find a way to move her away.

He squatted down, put the things he was carrying into the hand holding the umbrella, and tried to help the girl up.

"Cheng Jun, what happened?" Dr. Ali's voice sounded from the alley behind.

Because Edogawa Conan often visits Dr. Ali's house, Makoto Qigong has met him a few times occasionally. As a neighbor in the same block, Makoto Qigong and him can also nod to him.

"It turned out to be the doctor. There is a girl who fainted here. I was trying to help her up." Qi Gongcheng said.

Dr. A Li ran over, quickly understood the situation, and took the plastic bag containing things from Qi Gongcheng.

"My house is nearby, and there is also a medicine box, so take her there." Dr. A Li said.

Qi Gongcheng leaned over and hugged the girl up, his skin was icy cold and his lips were turning white.

An hour later, the girl was lying on the bed at Dr. Ali's house, with an antipyretic patch on her forehead and covered with a dry and warm quilt.

"The antipyretic medicine has been fed. If the temperature still doesn't drop after a while, you will be sent to the hospital." Dr. A Li said to Qi Gongcheng, "You go and change your clothes first, and I will watch here. she."

"Okay then." Qi Gongcheng tugged at his soaked collar, and borrowed two unopened clothes from Dr. A Li to wear.

Although it is the clothes of the elderly, it is not ugly when worn on Qi Gongcheng's body, but it looks very textured.

It's really interesting, both Kudo Shinichi and Miyano Shiho have become smaller, it's hard not to suspect that it's the same factor.And the progress bar of "Main Task 3: Please obtain the drug APTX-4869" has jumped by 10% compared to before.

Can he make such an inference, whether it is Kudo Shinichi or Miyano Shiho, the retrogression of their age is the effect of the drug "APTX-4869".

Miyano Shiho is a member in charge of drug research in the organization. He has a code name at a young age, and his resume must be extremely brilliant.Therefore, he has reason to suspect that the clue of APTX-4869 is in her body.

With a clue to the main mission, Qi Gongcheng lay down satisfied.

Therefore, it is strange that Kaitou Kidd is an important plot character who has no clue feedback at all.

If you are willing to concentrate, the range of the God's Prosthetic Eye can become extremely wide.Qi Gongcheng stood in front of the window, focusing all his brain's attention on what his eyes were focusing on.

It's his way of exercising the use of those eyes.He has cleaned up all the magic spirits in Mihua Town, so it's time to use this skill to find more advanced magic spirits to practice.

That is... West Tokyo City, above a certain juvenile academy, hovering around what seems to be a curse embryo that is in the process of being conceived?

The curse aura contained in it is stronger than the curse spirit Qi Gongcheng has encountered before.

Decided, I will go to this curse spirit to try my hand at tomorrow's weekend.
