Chapter 40 Tetris



The number of people who fell unconscious for no reason continued to increase. Cheng Gong Ye had been sent to the hospital with the help of the detective agency. However, the hospital was overcrowded and there were unconscious people everywhere. The hospital had no choice but to forcibly place mobile beds in the corridor to temporarily accommodate the unconscious people.

Because there were so many people in a coma, even Cheng Gongye was not able to get into the ward. Many children of important people were in a coma.

As the case involved so many people, the military and police were quickly dispatched. Of course, the common point of these people's coma was easy to find out. Before they fell into a coma, they all opened the new game of Mo Meng Company. This was the case for everyone.

"The military police went to Mo Meng's company and found that everyone, including President Mo Meng and the programmers, had also fallen into a coma." Tanizaki Junichiro told the people present the news, "In other words, the only clue is broken. Apart from the fact that everyone fell into a coma because of this game, there is no other clue."

"But it's impossible for a person to fall into a coma for no reason." Kunikida Dobu frowned, "What on earth is going on?"

"Is it related to the desperate incident that Hinata-kun is investigating?" Dazai Osamu looked at Hinata Hajime.

Hinata shook his head, "I'm not sure."

"Not sure, not absolutely not?" Dazai stretched his back lazily, "I'm totally at a loss."

The military and police had no idea what was going on, so they turned to the Armed Detective Agency to work together to investigate the case, and even the Special Powers Division was dispatched. It was a complete combination of the two powers, and if this continued there would be terrible consequences that no one could afford.

But Mo Meng's president was in a coma, and they didn't dare to touch the computers in Mo Meng's company.

Previously, a psychic from the data department went to check on the computer and fell into a coma as soon as he turned on the computer. This unexpected situation made them dare not send anyone to investigate the computer.

There aren't many data-related esper users, and if they all fall, things will be even more difficult.

"But we still have to try it to find out what the problem is." Nakajima Atsushi frowned and looked at Mo Meng's game interface.

Since everyone in Mo Meng's company was in a coma and anyone who touched the computer would fall into a coma, this game still retains its release interface until now. Of course, because the game has been promoted as too scary in the news, no one dares to touch it except for some people who are looking for death.

Mo Meng's new game successfully transformed from "everyone's expectation" to "death game".

"No, not to mention that the military and police have restricted downloading and use, and so far everyone who has tried to understand the situation and open the game has fainted, without exception." Kunikida Dobu said sternly: "A-Dun, don't try such a dangerous thing."

Hinata Sou stood up, tidied up the things on the table and prepared to go out.

"Where are you going, Hinata-kun?"

"I'm going to the hospital to see Narimiya Ye." Hinata Sou smiled. "Her parents are overseas and can't come back. Only the agent is taking care of her. I'll go and see her and come back soon."

"So, almost all game bloggers have been infected because of this game." Tanizaki Naomi hugged Tanizaki Junichiro's arm and sighed, "Some even collapsed during the live broadcast, scaring the audience who were watching the live broadcast half to death, thinking that the other person had died suddenly."

"There is nothing more terrifying than what is happening now." Yoseno Akiko looked at the newspaper in her hand. "This is like the end of the world. It's enough to make people panic."

Hinata Hajime said something to everyone in the detective agency, then walked out of the agency, bought a bouquet of flowers on the roadside, and went to the hospital with the flowers.

There was still a steady stream of ambulances arriving at the hospital gate, and unconscious people were being sent in continuously. Not only the inpatient department, but now even the open space in the outpatient building was filled with unconscious people. A specialist was doing statistics, and the number was a shocking five digits. It seemed that only the rural areas without internet access escaped.

Making way for the running medical staff, Hinata Hajime climbed the stairs and walked up to the fourth floor. He opened the door and was faced with a noisy environment. Patients and their families were crowded inside. Various anxious emotions were accumulating, and no one could be in a good mood inside.

Hinata Souichi slightly avoided these people, and then saw Chengmiya Ye lying on a simple bed at the end of the corridor, and the agent sitting next to the bed with a tired face.

"Mr. Hinata!" The agent stood up, lowered her voice, and bowed to Hinata Hajime, "Are you here to see Xiao Yezi? Thank you."

"After all, this happened during my commission, so I have to come and take a look." Hinata Hajime looked around and found that there was really no place, so he had to put the flowers on the pillow of Narimiya Ye. The pretty flowers matched the girl's pale face, which was really eye-catching.

The agent sighed, "How can I blame Mr. Hinata? We had already completed the commission at that time. Mr. Hinata's gentleness would make me feel ashamed."

"Oh, sorry, what did the doctor say?"

"There is no way for now." The broker smiled bitterly. "Besides injecting nutrient solution every day to keep them alive, there is no way to wake them up. It's like... their spirits are no longer in this world. It's terrible."

It's like my spirit is no longer in this world.

A game that causes players to fall into an inexplicable coma. Everyone in the game company also falls into a coma. There is absolutely no way to verify it. Even if the game is investigated, it keeps sending food to the trap. The Special Powers Agent Department has tried many methods but has not been able to pry out any useful information.

[But, I still have to give it a try. ]

Hinata Hajime murmured in his heart.

[You want to go on an adventure? ]

[I just thought that even if I can't find the problem and fall into a coma, you are still here, Deru. You can continue to investigate. After all, even Deru can only conclude that the problem is in this game, right?]

Kamuzuru stared calmly ahead, and after a moment he closed his eyes, "It's up to you to decide."

Hinata Hajime smiled and said, "Okay."

After saying goodbye to the agent, Hinata Hajime returned to the detective agency, but found that there was no one in the agency. However, there was a message left for him on the table. The military and police seemed to have found a person who had been exposed to the game but was not unconscious, so they joined forces with the detective agency to find this person. Due to the urgency, all of them were dispatched and only had time to leave a note for Hinata Hajime.

"It should be just someone who brags on the Internet, but in this case, the military and police dare not let go of even this possibility." Hinata Hajime crumpled the note into a ball and threw it into the trash can, then opened his notebook and wrote something on it.

This was the instruction Hinata Hajime gave to the detective members in advance in order to prevent any accidents.

First of all, there is a very high possibility that Fragments of Despair is related to this game, so we must keep an eye on President Mo Meng.

Now people's panic has been completely aroused. It only takes a small fire to explode completely. The biggest and most desperate event in human history was a tragedy caused by this panic and anger. Therefore, the military and police must calm everyone's emotions and prevent new casualties from occurring.

Finally, hold on, a bright future is not far away.

Putting the written note aside, Hinata Hajime turned on his computer. His computer was stuck on the reservation interface.

After downloading the game, Hinata Sou quietly watched the progress bar moving forward bit by bit. His heart was beating wildly, and anxiety and tension spread in his heart. As the progress bar moved faster and faster, it was as if he had already foreseen something.

After waiting until the download was successful, Hinata Sou breathed a sigh of relief and installed the game.

The sound of an ambulance was heard outside the window. It was probably someone who lived alone and was found unconscious at home. He was taken away by a friend or neighbor who called the emergency number.

Can't go on.

He quickly opened the game and watched it start. The next moment, Hinata Chuang felt his spirit sink into an indescribable soft feeling, as if he was trapped in a ball of white cotton. White light filled his eyes. He slowly leaned back in his chair. When he closed his eyes, he could only hear the game's BGM becoming increasingly empty.

In the silent Armed Detective Agency, only the music was playing on loop. After three minutes, there was a click, the game automatically closed, and the music stopped abruptly.

"So he is the one who spreads rumors on the Internet. Are the military and police too tense? They can't make the right judgment." Dazai Osamu's helpless voice came over, and with a click, he pushed open the door of the detective agency. The setting sun poured into the detective agency. Dazai Osamu wanted to turn on the light, but was stunned when he saw the desk in front of him.

"Hinata-kun?"

"What?" Kunikida Dopo quickly opened the door. "What's going on?"

Dazai Osamu quickly turned on the light, and everyone immediately saw Hinata Hajime leaning on a chair, seemingly asleep.

At this time, his computer screen was still on, and everyone immediately saw the game logo that had been downloaded to the desktop.

"Hinata opened the game?!" Kunikida Doppo gritted his teeth, "Is he an idiot?"

"Here is a note left by Mr. Hinata!" Nakajima Atsushi quickly handed the note to Edogawa Ranpo.

"It looks like they have made all the necessary preparations. Even if we were here, we wouldn't be able to stop them." Ranpo Edogawa looked at the note and sighed, "We'll deal with him after he wakes up. Now let's do what we should do, such as dealing with the questions raised by Hinata."

Looking at Hinata Hajime, Tanizaki Naomi was silent for a few seconds, then she ran to the cupboard and took out a thin blanket and covered Hinata Hajime with it.

"There will be no problem!" Tanizaki Naomi said, "Mr. Kamiya hasn't woken up, he must have been with Mr. Hinata, so with them around, any problem can be solved!"

Akiko Yosano nodded, "Besides that, we also need to prevent outsiders from coming here and causing trouble."

"Everyone must work together. No one can be left behind, both the open and the covert." Dazai Osamu clapped his hands, "Kunikida, you go find the secret service department, and I'll find the port mafia. We'll maintain the stability of Yokohama, and then wait for good news from Hinata-kun."

"Everyone, get moving!"

There was a white light in front of his eyes. Hinata Hajime could hear his own breathing. Hot air came out of his mouth, and then there was noisy music in his ears. It felt like something was falling continuously and even the ground was shaking. Hinata Hajime tried hard to open his eyes, but he was helpless.

At this moment, the fragment of hope in his pocket lit up, and with a click, a crack appeared in the barrier, and then shattered like glass. Hinata Hajime saw a door, just like the door he saw when he woke up in the hope update program.

Hinata Hajime exhaled deeply, then put his hand on the door and pushed it open.

The wind blew on his face and the ground was shaking. Hinata Hajime widened his eyes slightly and found that he was lying on the ground, and the place where he was lying was like a mountain forest.

Just when Hinata Hajime was about to stand up, his wrist was grabbed by someone. Hinata Hajime was caught off guard and had to lean over with the opponent's force. Finally, he bumped into the man's chest. The next moment, there was a sound of cracking stones behind Hinata Hajime.

There was no time to see what was happening behind him, because Hinata Hajime saw the long hair of the person who was holding him.

Hinata Hajime's heart had never been beating so wildly before.

"As expected, you never pay attention to your surroundings." The familiar voice said the same thing as always, speaking caring words in the coldest tone.

Hinata Hajime grabbed Kamijou Izuru's clothes and thought that his expression must be very ridiculous.

“…Iryou?”

"Of course it's me." Kamijou Izuru stood up and stretched out his hand towards Hinata Hajime. There was no change of emotion in his red eyes.

Hinata Hajime sat on the ground with his head down. After a moment he smiled, as if he had figured something out.

Perhaps, this is a miracle that happened unexpectedly.

Hinata Hajime placed his hand on Kamukura Izuru's hand and stood up following Kamukura Izuru's force.

Truly standing together.
