Chapter 908 Target Appears
"Xiaoxun has been discharged from the hospital, although she looked very weak in front of the media and the company. But when we went to visit her, she was actually alive and well, and she even confirmed the wedding date with Mr. Jianxiong... Although the process was a bit scary, it can be considered a blessing in disguise."
Kinoshita Yoko thought of what happened yesterday and reported to Jiang Xia for her teammates that she was safe. The external reports basically did not mention Kaoru Kusano's physical condition, and those that did were all described as "haggard" or "living in the afterlife." Kinoshita Yoko did not want to make this enthusiastic little detective worry too much.
Jiang Xia nodded.
He suddenly remembered something and took out the egg-shaped badge from Kaoru Kusano from his pocket: "This is the experience badge that Miss Kusano gave me yesterday. Since you came here for her, shouldn't you participate?"
Kinoshita Yoko smiled and shook her head:
"Xiaoxun and I are different. The age requirement for the fifty participants this time is 'high school students and below'. Xiaoxun has just reached adulthood and looks very young, so it would be natural for us to go in together. But as for me..."
She smoothed her chestnut wavy hair and said, "I'm afraid I have to completely change my hairstyle first. My image is too different from usual, and it would be weird to be mixed in with a group of kids... Anyway, this time, the game experience footage will not be released to the public, and can only be described orally. I'll watch it from the viewing seat, and I'll have a more comprehensive view. It just so happens that I'm not very good at playing games."
"Speaking of this..." Kinoshita Yoko smiled and winked at him, "I heard that among the several game modes offered this time, there is a 'detective' game - you are always good at playing games, it would be a shame if you don't try it."
…
As he was speaking, there was a sudden commotion outside the building. The sound of shutter clicks rang out like a tide, and the media squatting on both sides of the red carpet suddenly became active, as if they were waiting for some important person to arrive.
Jiang Xia and Kinoshita Yoko were startled and turned to look outside the house.
I saw a foreign man walking along the red carpet towards the hall of the municipal center.
The man was tall and sturdy, wearing a high-end suit that fit his body well. He had an authentic European and American appearance, his chin raised proudly, and his steps were steady.
Kinoshita Yoko took a look through the wide French window and quickly recognized him: "This must be President Thomas Sintra... He has such a strong aura."
Jiang Xia carefully looked at President Sindora and the secretary who entered the hall later than him, and kept his curiosity about them within the limits of a normal spectator.
…
Sindora, his assistant, and his bodyguards quickly passed through the lobby and entered the office area.
Outside the door, the introduction of a TMS reporter floated in: "According to the information released in advance by the game manufacturer, this holographic game called "Cocoon" can allow players in the game cabin to enter a hypnotic state, communicate with the game with a voice recognition system, and travel freely in the virtual world.
"——It brings together the world's top technological essence. Unfortunately, the specific game content is not open to the public, but today, the game will select 50 lucky people to experience it. Let us look forward to their evaluation!"
...the essence of the most cutting-edge technology.
Is it really the essence of "technology"?
Jiang Xia turned around and his eyes paused on the security checkpoint and the surveillance camera in the corner.
"..."After entering the door, there is always a vague feeling of strangeness. Especially when you are too close to the pre-installed electronic equipment in the hall...
Jiang Xia looked at the instruments, then looked at the ghosts floating around him, trying to find murderous intent, and seemed to be thinking about something.
…
Rice Flower Civic Center.
On the other side of the passage.
Mao Li and his daughter also brought the Junior Detective Team to this grand press conference. They arrived earlier than Jiang Xia.
——The Suzuki Group is also one of the investors of this game. Therefore, Suzuki Sonoko can invite many people to come in.
…
The Maori father and daughter, along with their five children, a group of seven, walked through the corridor, planning to go to the banquet hall to meet Suzuki Sonoko.
On the way, a few people inadvertently glanced to the side and saw the "cocoon" experience hall below through the glass windows in the corridor.
——On the stage in front of the hall, there were fifty egg-shaped game cabins. Many staff members were walking back and forth, debugging the equipment. Outside the game cabins was a circle of elevated viewing seats, separated by detection devices.
…
Yuan Tai took a look and couldn't help but lean on the window with envy:
"That must be the 'cocoon'. I really want to go in and try it."
Mitsuhiko was also envious, but considering that there were two beauties standing next to them, he did not stick to the window like Genta, but elegantly stood one step away and watched.
At the same time, he couldn't help but sigh sadly: "Don't even think about it, we don't have the qualifications to experience it - there are only fifty places in the world."
It's rare for Haibara Ai to have the same interests as other children.
She recalled the contents of the brochure, looked at the "cocoon" and sighed softly:
“It’s really interesting to recreate historical events in the game. Coupled with this unique holographic experience... it’s like a fascinating time travel.”
Next to her, Conan put his hands behind his back and gave her a disapproving look: You can't go anyway, the better you describe the game, the more it will tempt the kids.
With this in mind, he began to comfort his friends:
"It's just a game. What's so fun about it? You can make up for it by watching the movie a few more times."
“…”
Haibara Ai's forehead twitched, but she vaguely understood Conan's intention and said nothing.
But the other three kids didn't think too much about it. They just read it literally and immediately felt that they were being mocked.
Genta snorted: "Conan, don't talk to us about games - you haven't even finished Space Dragon."
Mitsuhiko added with a smile: "Speaking of this game, my three-year-old cousin accidentally cleared the game the day before yesterday."
Ayumi still liked Conan a little bit in her heart, and secretly helped to smooth things over: "There's nothing we can do, Conan is too smart, so God closed a window for him, and his hands became very inflexible!"
Conan: “…”
These naughty kids, why did they suddenly make personal attacks when they were just talking?
Just as I was thinking about it, a figure flashed in my peripheral vision.
Someone passed by the corner ahead.
Conan saw the man clearly, his eyes lit up, he waved his hand, and deliberately said hello loudly: "Brother Jiang Xia!"
Genta, Ayumi, Mitsuhiko: "!"
The three children froze, and silently swallowed the remaining taunts that they had not yet uttered.
"..." If you have to say it, although they were fighting back against Conan, they were also "bullying the minority with the majority" after all.
If Jiang Xia, who likes to fish and knock people over, heard this, he would definitely make a big fuss about it...
The corridor suddenly became quiet.
Huiyuan Ai looked at Conan, her eyes narrowed into half-moons: "..." Despicable fake child, actually used Jiang Xia as a talisman...
