Chapter 10001008 [Professor Moriarty]
Jiang Xia: “…” Wonderful.
Noah is obviously looking forward to it: "Would you like to try it? I think I can get a lot of material to fill in my own story from the plot and the players' reactions - one day I can become a real ghost!"
As it spoke, it secretly tucked the little tail behind it into the corner of the quilt and hid it.
"..." Although he said he didn't care much, the shoddy "Z" mark on the tail really made Noah concerned for a long time.
"Games..." Jiang Xia thought for a moment, "I have something else to do soon. The twin towers haven't been blown up yet, and the people I need to invite haven't been invited yet."
“…That’s right.” Noah fell to the ground dejectedly, and turned from a ghost ball into a ghost cake.
"Since we are about to get down to business, we should of course relax beforehand, and then be in the best condition to meet the important tasks of the organization!" Jiang Xiateng sat up suddenly, and under Noah's shocked gaze, he flipped through his address book and began to randomly grab lucky players.
With the contract in place, Jiang Xia can also roughly sense the game system and related rules constructed by Noah.
…
Noah was stunned for two seconds before jumping up with him and happily added:
“Although this time’s dungeon is also a detective scenario, it is somewhat different from the previous ‘London dungeon’ in that it is a role-playing game with a stronger crime-solving experience.
"The script framework was left by Hiroki. He met a talented cartoonist a few years ago. The man inherited billions of dollars from a distant relative. He was too busy with work, but didn't want to waste his dreams. He also found that Hiroki liked these very much, so he sent the script to him. After that, Hiroki adapted those stories into various basic frameworks."
Noah mentioned the producer "Hiroki" with a hint of nostalgia in his eyes: "But Hiroki was also very busy with work, and Sindorah felt that for a genius like Hiroki, 'games' were not his main job, and he should work on more meaningful software. So in the end, Hiroki was unable to complete the entire script, and there were still some details left to fill in."
Jiang Xia nodded as he flipped through the address book: "Have you filled in the details now?"
"That's right!" Noah clapped his hands happily. "There are many high school detectives around the master, and there is a lot of relevant materials, so the first one to be filled is the campus copy - this time there are a total of six player slots, and the theme is 'Seven Wonders of Campus'!"
"Six..." Jiang Xia decisively included himself in the count, "That means we need to find five more people."
Thinking of these candidates, several figures in black flashed through Jiang Xia's mind.
——I don’t know if I can obtain the murderous aura dropped by players in the dungeon…
But soon, he dismissed the figure in his mind and his eyes fell on the normal address book again.
“…” Since this is the first game, let’s just pull in a few controllable people first.
Once you are familiar with the process, you can bring the black side in next time and have a lively and murderous party.
"Then let's choose these people." Jiang Xia clicked on the address book and said expectantly, "Including me, there will be exactly six."
Noah folded it in a proper manner, as if he was bowing. The fake ghost was obviously full of expectation and said seriously, "Okay, Master!"
After thinking for a moment, it added: "After the players finish playing, I will slightly interfere with their state, making them think they have had a realistic dream, and gradually forget this experience over time - as long as they don't play this game frequently, it will not interfere with their normal life."
…
To lure people into the game, you have to trick them first... ahem, invite them, and have them sign Noah's "User Confidentiality Agreement." This seems to be part of Noah's skills.
Conan is the least worried about this.
——Previously in the holographic game of "Cocoon", Conan had signed the extremely powerful confidentiality clause because of his curiosity about Noah's Ark.
So this time, only four more people need to be signed.
Haihara Ai, Mao Liran, Suzuki Sonoko, Hattori Heiji.
These four people are all in Conan's address book, so they can be said to be in close contact with him.
In this way, even if Conan cares a lot about the selection criteria of the "game", he will think that it is because he completed the game and was targeted by Noah, so the unreasonable AI followed Conan's address book and found other people he knew - Jiang Xia no longer has to go through the series of questions from curious classmates.
As the candidates were confirmed, several streams of data flowed out silently and entered the mobile phones of all the targets.
…
Late at night, on the third floor of the Maori Detective Agency.
Conan lay in the quilt and secretly played with his cell phone for a while.
When I was about to go to bed after playing, I suddenly felt dizzy and became extremely sleepy.
Conan yawned, put his phone next to his pillow, covered himself with the quilt, and closed his eyes.
The next second, his body was still sleeping in the quilt.
But his soul shuddered and he opened his eyes with great clarity.
Then I was shocked to find myself in an office with quaint decorations.
Vision, smell, touch...all the details are exactly the same as in reality, as if you have traveled to another space.
"Welcome to 'Anonymous Game'."
As Conan watched warily, the heavy chair in front of the large mahogany desk turned, revealing a familiar face.
"Moriarty" leaned lazily in his office chair, looking at him with a smile.
Next to him, Noah's Ark was like a little servant boy, holding a cup of steaming coffee and carefully placing it on the table.
After a pause and a look between his eyes and Moriarty's, Noah slowly reached behind his back and pulled out a colorful cocktail from somewhere, inserted a straw, and placed it next to the coffee.
"Professor Moriarty" stretched out his hand reservedly, picked up the wine glass, and paused for a moment on the straw.
Then, as if he felt that sucking on the straw in front of the players was unsightly, he naturally moved the straw aside, leaned on the edge of the cup, and took a sip.
…
Conan didn't pay attention to those details.
He looked at "Moriarty" in great surprise: "It's you?! You're not..." Isn't he the villain NPC in Noah's game? !
Why now, he suddenly acted like he was the master, and asked Noah, the "God of Creation" in the eyes of NPCs, to serve him tea and water...
However, Conan did not say these words.
He gradually realized one thing:
The "cocoon" that day was indeed controlled by Noah.
But Noah is controlled by Anonymous!
Anonymous seemed to have always been interested in high school detectives, so it seemed reasonable for Noah to suddenly encounter such a game and someone suggest that he want to go in and visit and play.
Conan: "..." And if you think about it carefully, although it is said that "the customer is God", but that day, in the game, it seemed that only "Professor Moriarty" truly enjoyed God's treatment - even sitting in that bomb-torn opera house, no brick dared to fall on him, and even those blazing flames that brushed past him seemed to have only light effects, and in the end, even the corner of his clothes could not be ignited.
