Chapter 922 The Advantage is in Me
When Dr. Agasa saw Conan hesitating, he thought he was not interested in the game.
The doctor whispered a spoiler: "You will regret it if you don't go. This game is set in London a hundred years ago, at the end of the 19th century." ... And there will be an appearance and interaction with Shinichi's favorite Sherlock Holmes. In addition, there are some small easter eggs about the identities of Holmes, Watson and Irene.
"London in the late 19th century?" Conan muttered helplessly, "Dad really likes that era. But as a game for children, this is not quite suitable..."
The surroundings suddenly became dark.
In the entire banquet hall, only a beam of light remained on the stage.
At this time, Kudo Yusaku's speech has ended and the press conference has moved on to the next stage.
——On the stage, an egg-shaped game cabin slowly rose from the ground.
…
The staff began to introduce this amazing machine:
“This is the groundbreaking game console - Cocoon!
“Once the player enters it, it takes over the player’s senses. Whether it’s sight, touch, smell or scent, all the senses are very real. The player will be in a ‘different world’.
"This kind of 'time travel' is achieved by using weak electric currents to stimulate the user's central nervous system. It is not only harmless to the body, but also can relieve brain fatigue."
The staff member responsible for the introduction didn't know whether this was true or not.
However, since it is stated in the manual and the device has passed safety tests, it should not be a big problem.
As everyone admired the "cocoon" in the beam of light.
Thomas Sindorah, who had been lurking in the darkness, opened his eyes.
He held the stopwatch in his hand and walked quickly towards his destination to silence the witness.
…
A few minutes later.
In the real world.
In the lounge on the first floor of the Mihua Municipal Building.
Haibara Ai was leaning against the bedroom door, leaning in front of the ashtray, holding the cigarette box, and lighting it obediently.
This boring and repetitive work made her feel a little sleepy.
She yawned and was about to stand up and jump a few times to wake herself up.
At this moment, the door behind her suddenly opened, and Huibara Ai lost her balance unexpectedly and fell backwards into the door.
Halfway through falling, a hand supported him from behind, lifted him up, and put him back on the ground.
"!" Haibara Ai woke up completely.
She turned around and looked at Jiang Xia, looking him up and down for a moment: "Are you okay?"
"Yeah." Not only is everything fine, I'm actually quite happy...
…
Jiang Xia took the cigarette and lighter from Huihara Ai and disposed of the cigarette butts in the ashtray.
Then he restored the lounge to its original state and took back the puppet clay that was blocking the gaps everywhere: "Let's go, it's time to go back to the banquet hall."
Huibara responded sadly and subconsciously followed Jiang Xia, taking a few steps towards the door.
Halfway through the walk, he suddenly remembered something and stopped.
She hesitated and said, "Or... I'd better stay here."
——Although I have Dr. Agasa's hair dye, since there may be members of the organization around, it is safer to hide somewhere instead of going out. If something goes wrong, it won't drag down the people around...
…
When Jiang Xia heard what Huibara Ai said, he did not open the door immediately, but turned around and looked at her.
After thinking for a moment, he reached out to Haibara Ai's head, and before she could react, he pulled out a hair with lightning speed.
"..." When Haibara Ai covered her head in pain and looked over at me.
Jiang Xia pretended not to see anything and looked at the black hair in his hand.
