Chapter 943 NPCs Are Not Scary
"Oh, okay..." Genta and Mitsuhiko touched the beautiful metal pattern on the gun handle and put down the gun with regret.
Although they often don't listen to Conan, after spending so much time together, they also vaguely feel that Conan is more reliable than them. And now, the matter concerns the lives of fifty people, so it's better to listen to his advice.
In addition, what if they insist on going against Conan, causing huge troubles later, and then they are unlucky... no, lucky again to pass the level and meet Brother Jiang Xia who also walked out of the game alive, and then Brother Jiang Xia knows the situation here...
“…”
Clang——
Mitsuhiko and Genta slammed the drawer shut and shuddered.
Then the two of them avoided the terrible drawer as if it were the plague, ran quickly to the others, and walked out of the house with them to look for "Colonel Moran".
Soon, Hideki Moroboshi was the only one left in the room - Noah was the last one to come.
…
After everyone else left, he opened the drawer again and looked at the gun.
Although Noah wanted to enjoy the game for a while longer, now that he didn't plan to self-destruct after this instance, there would be other opportunities to play games afterwards. The group of acquaintances of the psychic master were all quite interesting, and he should be able to play with them for a long time.
In addition, Noah remembered that Jiang Xia would have something to do in reality in a while, and that thing was about "sending Sindorah on the road", so relatively speaking, the progress in the game needed to be accelerated.
——There are too many people in this copy, let’s eliminate some of them first.
And this gun is the important prop that caused the riot.
Noah picked up the gun, smiled, turned around, and was suddenly startled.
——Behind him, there was another person.
Jiang Xia was dressed in a typical English gentleman's outfit, holding a cane, and standing in the room. He seemed to have been watching the show in the void, and now he finally showed up.
"...It's you." Noah breathed a sigh of relief, lifted his shirt, and hid the gun in his waistband.
After the contract, Jiang Xia’s authority in this space was even higher than Noah’s own.
Noah is used to being a "god" in his own territory, but suddenly someone pops up from behind... It's really a bit scary.
Jiang Xia watched Noah hide his gun:
"If you don't like being a 'ghost', you can talk to Akemi Miyano and ask her to work harder. This will also speed up the elimination of players." He remembered that this AI with a good feel seemed to have an implicit desire to "experience the game."
"No, no. This is fine for now."
Noah didn't feel the slightest bit of guilt or remorse for "backstabbing his teammates". Instead, his eyes flickered with eagerness to try:
“It’s really boring to play through the game without any twists and turns. Just like the ‘eagle’ in the game of eagle catching chicken, someone has to sacrifice himself to increase the difficulty of the game.”
As he spoke, he slapped the gun on his waist and said confidently: "This is not being a spy, this is a great sacrifice."
Jiang Xia: “…”
…It’s just a transparent ball, but I didn’t expect it to be quite black when cut open.
But, Noah said this...
"..." Blending in among the players as a spy and secretly cheating others seems to be quite fun.
Next time if there is a chance, you can invite a few acquaintances to come in and try it out - just now, Jiang Xia was bored and walked around Noah, and found that there seemed to be some new copy prototypes waiting for them to be perfected and developed.
…
Next to it, the players said goodbye to the landlady and walked outside.
They were brought back to their senses by the cold wind blowing through the street, and suddenly realized that one person was missing.
When I looked back, I saw "Hideki Moroboshi" walking out slowly. Along the way, he was looking at the decorations in the aisle, and he didn't show any apology for being late.
Considering his naughty temper, no one else found it strange.
Conan glanced at Hideki Moroboshi and suddenly remembered something.
He turned his head and looked at the "counting clock" on the distant tower, and his expression changed slightly.
——While they were searching the room for information, they found that another 19 players were eliminated. Now, the minute hand was pointing to "30".
...After more than ten minutes, there were only thirty people left in the five copies.
This horrible elimination rate and the extremely fast speed made Conan feel nervous.
Suzuki Sonoko followed his gaze and noticed the situation, and she was puzzled.
Although she doesn't like playing games that much, she has participated in the planning of some games for fun in the past, and learned a lot from watching and hearing in the process.
"Excluding us, the elimination rate in other copies has reached 50%. And we have all survived until now. Since this is a copy of the same game and there is no difficulty level, then theoretically, the elimination rate should be similar everywhere... Could it be, could it be that we are about to encounter some kind of situation where there will be a large number of casualties?"
She shrank back towards Mao Lilan with some fear.
However, Mao Lilan was also afraid.
The two people huddled together, shivering in the cold wind.
"If that's true, the 'death threat' that's about to come must be the next 'Colonel Moran'."
Haibara Ai was once a member of the criminal gang who often saw big scenes and Gin. Thinking that the NPCs in the game could not be scarier than the straight-haired man in black, she was much calmer and analyzed rationally:
"Colonel Moran is not a good man. He is greedy, cruel, and extremely loyal to Professor Moriarty. If Jack the Ripper committed crimes everywhere because he was controlled by Professor Moriarty, then our hostility towards Jack the Ripper is equivalent to our hostility towards Moriarty. Colonel Moran will naturally not be polite to us."
"But we have to go check it out anyway—we have no other clues."
Conan doesn't pay much attention to the off-site settings of the game. Instead, he is more optimistic: "Moreover, each dungeon is different. Other dungeons, especially 'Pirate' and 'Arena', are designed to be easy to die. But this is a detective dungeon - as long as everyone does not act separately and is careful before making decisions, we will definitely be able to avoid the option of death."
…
Conan said this confidently fifteen minutes ago.
Fifteen minutes later, outside the back door of the poker club.
Conan gestured to the others to keep quiet: "You stay hidden nearby and don't move around. I'll go in and take a look at the situation."
Noah: "..." Didn't you just say "Don't act separately", the fickle little glasses...
The high school girls and the Junior Detective Team often go out with Conan. They are used to the "they wait while Conan explores around" mode and didn't say anything.
