So, does that mean he already had replacements in mind when he decided to give up on those five people?
King Sisa in the game program, of course, was unaware that Mitsui Fumiya's plan had already been exposed.
Even if Noah's Ark knew, a child with limited experience probably wouldn't be able to figure out how it relates to the game's elements.
Therefore, this hidden plot is still based on the premise that Mitsui is still proceeding with the plan in an orderly manner.
Even though Yoruichi Toyama and the others knew that he had no more bargaining chips, they were still under the control of Noah's Ark.
"What if...we fail to choose a sacrifice?" Yoruichi Toyama asked tentatively, "What will happen?"
"If you fail to make a choice within the time limit, or give up making a choice, then you have failed."
Noah's Ark said happily.
"By the way, apart from the five of you, all the other players have failed and have been forced into hibernation."
"If you also fail, there will be no winners in this game, and everyone will be locked in the game pod forever."
"Anyway, you call yourselves elites, yet you can't even beat a single game, which shows that your abilities are not outstanding."
"Neon has no future, so let me give you all equal destruction! Hahaha!"
That brat is getting more and more excited as he talks!
But now, Yoruichi Toyama and the others, who are in the virtual world, can only be threatened by it.
The countdown clock has jumped to 2'30.
King Sisa did not urge him; the program must have been designed so that the next instruction would only be given after the timer ended.
Yoichi looked at the three minors beside him.
The teenagers, all of whom had experienced major events, showed no signs of panic; instead, they were all deep in thought with furrowed brows.
When his eyes met Yoruichi Toyama's, Shinichi Kudo's eyebrows suddenly twitched, revealing a hint of excitement.
Wait a minute! This Sherlock Holmes fanatic... could it be...?
"Noah's Ark, no, Hiroki!" Yoruichi Toyama suddenly spoke up, "What exactly is the purpose of what you're doing this...?"
“Yuanshan.” Mingzhi’s hand patted his shoulder again, indicating that he had less than two minutes left.
"If you want to persuade it, do it later. Now is the time to make a decision."
Yuanshan Ye nodded slightly.
"Then I..."
"I'll go." Mingzhi and he spoke at the same time, with Mingzhi finishing his sentence first.
"I am a police officer, and I have a responsibility to protect citizens."
Me too!
Do you criminal police officers have special privileges or something?
Unable to express it aloud, Yoruichi Toyama could only roar in her heart.
But Mingzhi looked at him seriously, his gaze seemingly carrying a deeper meaning.
Buy some time...
I believe you still have a way...
And me, I'm not without it either...
Don't forget, Mr. ?mura is still outside...
"Mr. Mingzhi!"
"Wise and vigilant!"
Upon hearing this decision, Shinichi Kudo and the others exclaimed.
But at the same time, the countdown reached 0'00.
"Please make a choice, player." Noah's Ark's voice was quite gloating, as if it were getting revenge for the complaints it received in the game.
Without hesitation, Akechi took a step forward, while Yoruichi Toyama blocked the boys who wanted to rush past.
A beam of white light descended from the sky and transformed into a giant totem pole standing on the seabed.
In the blink of an eye, Mingzhi was already standing in front of that pillar, right next to King Sisa.
King Sisa enthusiastically stretched out his hand and raised it into the air.
"Very good, you have decided on the person to be sacrificed. I see your loyalty!"
"Now--"
With a wave of his hand, a flash of white light appeared, but everyone knew that this was done by Noah's Ark.
Yoruichi Toyama lowered her head, looking at the pistol that had suddenly appeared in her hand.
"You've done a pretty trendy job..."
Although they had guessed that King Sisa would still make them kill the sacrificers themselves, and they already knew the procedure, the weapons in their hands were really out of place with the surrounding environment.
Suddenly I felt like Indiana Jones, pulling out a gun when I couldn't win a hand-to-hand fight.
Yoruichi Toyama weighed the gun in his hand and looked at Akechi across from him.
The distance wasn't far, and with his cheat-like marksmanship, he could hit anything he aimed at.
Akechi calmly watched him, but Shinichi Kudo suddenly lunged forward and grabbed the hand holding the gun.
"Yuanshan! You wouldn't really..."
This is a game, this is a game...
Not only Shinichi Kudo, but also Hakuba Saguru and Heiji Hattori were clearly repeating this phrase to themselves, trying to convince themselves that everything was virtual.
The gun wasn't a real gun, and the person who was shot wouldn't actually die.
However, the feeling in this absurd world is so real.
Just like when they walk the streets of London, they feel the night breeze on their cheeks.
The black tea Mrs. Hudson brought was piping hot and comforting.
Professor Moriarty's favorite red wine exudes a rich aroma.
Lying in the out-of-control train that was about to derail, my whole body ached from the jolting.
...Can shooting someone you know, someone you could call a friend, really be taken as a joke?
"Distant mountains!"
At the same time as Shinichi Kudo's shout, the sound of Noah's Ark being ignited began.
"You can't pass the level without firing a shot!"
"Toyama, you can't shoot!" Shinichi Kudo shouted again. "There must be another way!"
You can't kill people!
Yes, King Sisa, Mitsui Fumiya, that was certainly his goal.
Even in the virtual world, the sacrificed person will not remain unmoved when faced with someone shooting at them.
