"detective?"
Recalling the detective who had been having such a lively conversation with Ayase Akane, Suoh Takeshi's mind went blank.
But Lan Zexi smiled warmly, her gaze fixed unabashedly on the face of the dark-skinned handsome man.
"Amuro isn't your average detective; he's Kogoro's apprentice, isn't he?"
Kogoro?
The two sycophants simultaneously glanced at the uncle who was chugging down red wine, their expressions complex.
When he turned around again, he found that his goddess and the dark-skinned, blond detective had both disappeared.
"...So the kidnapping just now was real?"
At the other end of the hall, Lan Zexi smiled and picked up a glass of women's champagne. Her low voice and expression were completely unrelated, making her appear calm and serious.
Amuro Tooru stood a little distance away from her, seemingly casually observing the people around him, and nodded inadvertently.
"The simultaneous appearance of President Schindler and the village was also to appease the guests and buy time."
"As for that Toyama, he has already entered the game along with Inspector Akechi of the Metropolitan Police Department."
Lan Zexi took a sip of wine and raised an eyebrow.
“I don’t remember asking you to spy on that detective for me.”
"Then you should thank me." Amuro Tooru chuckled and winked.
"I've heard some news that you'll definitely find interesting."
...
Upon entering the game, Toyama Yoru felt as if she were in a dream.
Actually, this isn't entirely wrong. It's very different from what you might imagine VR motion-sensing games to be. The gaming experience offered by the 'cocoon' gaming pod is more like a lucid dream.
The person remains in a comfortable sitting position in the cockpit, with sensors connected to various parts of their body, sinking into the depths of their consciousness.
The actions in the game are not actually performed by the body, but rather by sensors receiving brain waves, simulating virtual physical actions, and then feeding them back to the brain.
Yoruichi Toyama, who previously thought this was similar to the Three-Body Problem game with VR headsets, realized she had misunderstood.
"Isn't this Yun Tianming?"
“'Only brains are delivered'…”
As Yoruichi Toyama walked alone in the virtual lobby created by the game system, she unsurprisingly heard Akechi's voice.
"What are you muttering about now?"
Even in the virtual world of the game, Akechi's appearance seemed to be shining brightly, which made Yoruichi Toyama feel a little irritated.
"I mean, shouldn't there be some kind of selection screen here?"
Although it was a deliberate attempt to change the subject, as soon as Yoruichi Toyama finished speaking, a gate shining with multicolored light descended from the sky.
There's a kind of vibe that makes you want to stick a sign on your door saying "I am the gate to another dimension".
"This is the entrance to the instance." Noah's Ark's voice remained flat, but Yoruichi Toyama always felt that it was trying to mask the underlying irritation.
After all, it wasn't its own choice to enter the game with Mingzhi.
"You are no longer qualified," was the reply when Yoruichi Toyama suggested that she wanted to enter the game and complete it herself. "The game has already started, and since you did not enter on time, the system is now closed."
It should be said that, after all, he only has the emotional intelligence of a 10-year-old child, and his tone revealed a gloating and triumphant air.
"No, there's still a way." The village's voice prevented the unfortunate boy from feeling smug for even a second.
"Just in case, we also prepared a spare gaming pod."
"But the system..." Noah's Ark tried to argue, but was immediately silenced.
“Hiroki, no, Noah’s Ark, you may have forgotten, but I am the developer of this system.”
"I'm in the village," he said with the confidence of a tech geek.
"How could a programmer not leave a backdoor for himself!"
