As the protagonist of the decryption game, I

Hagiwara Kenji and Matsuda Jinpei once again stood on the familiar ruins.

Looking at the little white flowers at his feet, Matsuda Jinpei looked complicated.

It would be a lie to say that you are not tired.

They still don't know what kind of dungeon "Nightless City" is. After two weeks, they finally thought that there was some progress, but it turned out to be fake. They were killed by an NPC from Laphroaig, and they were directly killed for three weeks. head to.

"Hey, Hagi." Matsuda Jinhei turned his head to look at Hagiwara Kenji, who had collapsed and kept saying "Laphroaig is scary" and "Kohirajima is scary when it's dark".

"After we get out, let's find a shrine and say goodbye."

"Woo." Mentioning this, Hagiwara Kenji felt sad.

He wiped away the non-existent tears, "I still laughed at Xiao Pingdao's bad luck when he was kidnapped. Now it seems that our luck is even worse..."

Probably in reality, the two of them are the kind of non-chiefs who can only guarantee the bottom of the game.

[The NPC launch was successful. 】

After the system prompts, it is still the two beams of light, and it is still the tall building.

Kenji Hagiwara and Jinpei Matsuda looked at each other.

They opened their legs and continued to walk this section of the road they were familiar with, bravely going for three weeks.

*

Another space, homestay.

According to the existing clues, Datehang removed the vase standing in the utility room.

Then he took the crowbar he found in the bathroom and pried it hard!

The lock cylinder of the basement door located under the vase in the utility room shattered under great force, and the square door leaf directly broke away from the threshold and hit the ground beside it, with a little red rust shaking off the surface of the door leaf.

But after the door was pried open, there was still an iron lattice door inside.

"A little bit dark..."

Mumbling like this, Conan and Haibara leaned on the left and right beside the lattice door, looking down through the gap of the lattice door.

It was pitch black below, and when you listened carefully, you could only hear the sound of running water, and there was a faint smell of soil moisture at the tip of your nose.

"Officer Hirashima," Conan raised his head, looked at the NPC Yoshihiro Hirashima who was facing the wall, studying the red dot on it, and elongated his tone. "Do you have a flashlight, please?"

"His flashlight is here."

NPC Shi Chuan handed over the flashlight.

Facing the NPC Tokikawa, Conan quickly took the flashlight, pressed the maximum gear in a panic, and aimed it at the gap in the lattice door——

"Whoa!"

A fish jumped out of the water.

Right below the B&B is actually an underground river.

Datehang tried to pry open the lattice door with a crowbar, but failed.Beside them, the NPC Hirashima, who had been looking at the red dot on the wall, put down his folded arms and walked towards the courtyard.

He picked up the rake standing on the courtyard and made rake marks on the fine sand of the dry mountains and rivers.

Left one, right three, top four, bottom seven.

Every stroke of the rake on the fine sand set the mechanism.

The last stroke of the rake mark stopped next to the bamboo joint, and the rake tines hit the bamboo joint, making a crisp sound.

"You guys stay away from there." NPC Hirashima leaned on a rake, because his sight was blocked by the wall, he could only raise his voice, "Is the lattice door open?"

"Ah? What's on?"

Before Conan could react, the lattice door suddenly opened to both sides.

His hand holding the door was empty, and fell directly from the hole. Haibara quickly reached out and grabbed Conan's clothes, but Conan took him down from the hole together!

Datehang also reached out to grab it.

The next moment, NPC Shi Chuan gently pushed him behind——

In an instant, the sky and the earth turned around.

Date Hang also fell from the hole!

Three plop plops.

After looking down at the underground river for a while, the NPC Weique got up from the lattice door, and panickedly shouted to the courtyard: "It's not good, Xiaoping Island! The three of them fell!"

The height from the floor of the homestay to the underground river is more than ten meters. When you fall into the water from a height, your back touches the water surface as if touching a wall. Itahang is really blinded by the water surface for a few seconds and drifts in the river.

It wasn't until tiny air bubbles floated from his nose and mouth that he regained consciousness, struggled to adjust his posture, and emerged from the water.

"Conan! Haibara!" Arriving in such a dark place suddenly, his vision was blocked, and Datehang could only shout for a while.

Two pseudo-children popped up from the side of the water, "...we are here!"

Listening to the sound to identify the position, the three of them gathered together.

Previously, the underground river heard that there were fish, and they didn't know what kind of fish was in the underground river, and whether they could eat people.In order to avoid unnecessary sacrifices, after their eyes adapted to the dim environment, they quickly swam to the shore.

Dragging their bodies that were almost torn apart by the water, several people climbed ashore and looked up at the unreachable square entrance above their heads.

They're falling now, what about NPC Hirashimayo?

"We have to find a way to go up." Conan wiped the water from his glasses, "It's too difficult for the police officer of Liuping Island to deal with the sparrow alone."

"...I think we can explore underground."

Huiyuan has a completely different opinion on this, "You also heard the good and evil settings given by Noah's Ark at that time, and the settings it gave can almost be regarded as the rules of the game. What we should pay attention to is that it only lists What happens after the death of NPC Tokikawa, but not what happens after the death of NPC Hirashima Yo."

She paused, "This is not common in the computer world, they are used to setting the most detailed rules to abide by, that is to say, the rules of the game are laid out here, for the sake of the perfection of the game, before the bird dies, Hirashima Yang will definitely not die."

Just like in their first week, she was the last to die, so I took the opportunity to observe carefully, and it was indeed the NPC Tokikawa who died first, and the NPC Hirashima who died second.

Date, who was listening, frowned.

As long as NPC Tokikawa or NPC Weique survives, NPC Hirashima Yang will not die...

Is this the meaning of Noah's Ark's phrase "protect them"?

If that's the case, they've been caught in a misunderstanding all along.

Because they know Hirashima Yang and know that NPC Hirashima is pure goodness, they will subconsciously protect Hirashima more and ignore NPC Tokikawa.But it is precisely this kind of neglect that makes it easy for NPC Shichuan to die. After his death, the NPC Hirashima camp will become uncertain.

——This is different from the reality that Hirashima and Tokikawa have the same status and protect each other. Between the two NPCs, NPC Tokikawa is in the dominant position.

After a long silence, he cast his eyes on the river.

"Actually, we don't have to follow the path above. You must know that there are fish in the underground river." Itahang said, "If the underground river is not connected to the ground and cannot circulate enough, these fish will not survive."

In other words, they can go to the ground along the underground river, and then go back to the hotel from the ground.

and.

Date Hang opened his legs and followed the direction of the water.

The water enters from that end and exits from this end. Ping Daoyang was not trapped and died here in reality, which proves that there must be other exits from this place.

After an hour and a half.

They staggered down the current and climbed the last rock.

Conan squinted his eyes after standing still, looking ahead.

——There is a faint light in the darkness ahead, as if the exit is there.

They run a few steps.

That is indeed the outlet of the underground river, but the end is not a smooth connection to the above-ground river as they imagined, but a waterfall.

There was no place to stay at the exit ahead, and the rock under their feet was the last place. A large amount of water rushed down, and when it hit the rock, it made a violent sound, which was comparable to a thunderclap on a rainy day.

...If you want to go out from this kind of place without a boat, you will fall to your death without any protection.

Thinking of this, Date looked at Edogawa Conan, "Conan, is your belt still usable?"

Although they don't have a boat, they can try to build one on site.

"I'll give it a try." Conan stretched out his hand to adjust it on the belt.

This belt has been remodeled several times by Dr. A Li, and has added countless inspirations and technologies. It can make a football the size of a lifesaving pad. If it falls without breaking——

A few minutes later, a half-deflated black and white soccer ball came down the waterfall!

The three of Datehang, Edogawa Conan, and Haibara Ai lay on the football, grasping the hollow of the football tightly with their hands, their hair was blown up by the strong wind, and they couldn't even close their eyes. They left the football and followed the fabric. Float upwards together, almost performing a live takeoff!

The football slid down the waterfall and landed on the river with a "bang", causing a large splash of water. The surface of the football soaked by the river water was difficult to grasp. Itahang and the others bounced off the football violently, and then fell into the river with a plop. .

They hurried ashore.

Three wet men flattened a field of grass.

Conan, who escaped from death, turned over and lay on his back on the grass looking at the full moon hanging in the sky, tears welling up in his eyes.

He didn't die!

He didn't fall directly into the third round!

He actually took his life!!!

Conan wanted to open his mouth to sigh something, but before he could open his mouth, Itahang suddenly picked him up.

Conan almost bit his tongue.

With question marks all over his face, he sat on Ita Hang's right arm in a dazed state, and Huibara, who was also sitting on Date's left arm, looked at each other in blank dismay.

"Officer Date, why are we running?" Conan asked blankly amid the bumps.

Date Hang lowered his voice and changed direction, "There are people behind us!"

anyone?

Conan's expression changed.

He suddenly turned his head to look behind Date Hang!

At some point in the woods, a group of people wearing cloaks appeared. Those people shuttled between the trees and followed closely behind them, like snakes chasing after each other. The abstract mermaid printed on the cloak The color is reflected in the shimmer.

The corner of the cloak skimmed the ground, causing the blades of grass to sway and the shadows of the trees to sway.

Seeing that they can really run, the next moment, hands holding guns are raised from those cloaks printed with mermaids!

"Boom-boom-!"

The trigger snapped.

The bullets or iron chains fired from those guns all shone coldly in the moonlight, blocking all the escape routes for Itahang and the others.

Hui Yuanai stared in horror at the iron chain that was less than a paper distance away from him, and blood slowly flowed down his cheeks.

A tragedy happened in the woods late at night.

[Player Date Hang, Edogawa Conan, and Haibara Ai died, and the dungeon "Safflower Hundred Sons" has been reset. 】

[The body is being reconstructed for players Date Hang, Edogawa Conan, Haibara Ai——]

It's the original homestay again.

The three of them sat around the kotatsu, with the dancing ash flames in front of them.The statues of the Experimental Center of the Lotus Society were still quietly posing on the wall, watching them condescendingly through the lotus flowers.

For a moment, Huiyuan even felt that the white candles on the table were lit for them, just to mourn themselves.

Not long after, the knock on the door sounded again.

"Well, is anyone there?"

It was the voice of Police Officer Hirashima.

Conan raised his head and stared at the shoji door.

——This time it was the NPC Hirashima Yoshi who knocked on the door!

"We are the police from the Kamihama Metropolitan Police Department," said the NPC Hirashima outside, "please open the door, we are here to investigate the case."

The author has something to say:

The man in the cloak with the abstract mermaid pattern printed on the back is from the blood of eternal life. The red flower hundred sons case is the first confrontation between Brother Yang and the blood of eternal life in Shenbin, and then Jones became the head of Brother Yang's fan club ( bushi.

Conan: Hold on but not completely hold on.
