Chapter 439

"So, what information did Bourbon reveal to the young detective?" William, who was far away in Europe at the moment, asked Holmes.

"The young detective didn't say anything. I think this is just a competition between the Japanese public security and the FBI. After all, Champagne is basically just a rumor. Only Gin and our people have seen him. Although the other two are very active, no one knows what they are doing." Holmes shrugged. "By the way, have you taken command of the FBI's joint operation with the European police?"

"You should have some confidence in me, 'Moriarty,'" William replied to Holmes. "According to BB and Bond's feedback, Interpol's system cannot recognize disguises - BB said that if the AI ​​of the Pacific Buoy was hers, she would be able to tell it apart. Mr. Congressman has already been invited away by Brother Albert, so there are only me and Charlie here."

"...It would be best if you two didn't learn the habit of taking bullets like those guys." Holmes warned William, "Gin will enter the submarine at dusk tomorrow. We will probably finish them off here at once - the interior of the Black Organization will be handed over to you."

"It's not a big problem." William flipped through the messages in the Chaldea system chat room. "The directors said that they will announce the opening time of Chaldea to the public after the Pacific buoy explodes. Visitors will need to be selected by lottery, but with BB we can do whatever we want. I'll go through the list of organizations and send it directly to the control room for them to register."

"I still find it very strange." Sherlock, who had already completed his disguise, sat next to William with a cigarette in his mouth. "I didn't expect everyone to agree to this plan. I thought they must have been psychologically traumatized by the explosion in the control room."

"Because this is not the real Chaldea, just like this world is neither our homeland nor theirs." William hung up the phone and answered Sherlock, "By the way, have you carefully considered Dr. Watson's previous proposal?"

"I have no objection, and this plan is indeed feasible." Sherlock looked at William, "I just need to discuss it carefully with the Master after I go back. After all, some people choose to stay, some choose to integrate, but some choose to leave. Even though we have traveled such a long journey together, we have finally found this road to our destination."

"The Master started preparing for this vote on everyone's future so early because she knew that not every fellow traveler would be willing to stay."

“Although I don’t think there would be any Heroic Spirit who would be so cruel as to abandon our lovely Master and disappear, there are still people in Chaldea who cannot become Heroic Spirits, or who have not yet become Heroic Spirits. They will think more about this issue. Besides, our Master is not the type to be so arbitrary.”

"However, such a choice is indeed necessary for the living humans." William looked at the quiet chat room and smiled gently, "Because for them, staying is equivalent to completely disappearing from the world without any trace. Although it is a cruel choice between the two, I still hope that they can fully sort out their own feelings and choose the future they want most."

The next day, it was dusk when Gin was about to enter the submarine.

"It should have healed, right?" Edmund looked at Sherlock with an unhappy expression. "This time the Noble Phantasm is a special service - I thought you would at least ask Merlin to use illusion to fool you, but I didn't expect you to let the bullet hit your head. Although it is not the same as the spiritual core of the heart, being hit in the head by a bullet is also a serious injury to us."

"Excuse me." Sherlock smiled and shrugged, looking at William standing by the window, "So, it's almost time to end, right, Lian?"

"Yeah." William looked at the translucent video projection in front of him while editing the email to Gin, "Soon, the Pacific buoy will sink to the bottom of the sea."

Earlier, in order to confirm the surveillance situation, Conan Edogawa was taken to the main control room of the Pacific Buoy. At this time, a group of engineers were worried about the email received by the police yesterday.

After giving the email content to the AI ​​assistant for decryption, the content obtained is not the answer, but the ciphertext that they need to continue to crack.

When Conan Edogawa came in, he saw the purple-haired female AI silently staying in a corner of the main control room screen, waiting for the engineers to give new orders - and in the center of the screen was the line of letters that Okiya Subaru had deciphered last night.

After learning the key from Holmes, Conan Edogawa cracked the true content of the email - but he didn't think it was a good thing to reveal the truth now.

——Haihara Ai and Naomi Argent are still in the Black Organization's submarine.

Even if we want to point out Binga, we have to wait until we rescue these two girls.

"Ah, you're still studying the email that Shiratori received yesterday." Sato Miwako, who came in with Edogawa Conan, noticed the content on the screen and sighed subconsciously, "Thank you for your hard work. We want to confirm the surveillance on the sea last night. Can you please call it up?"

"After all, that was an email that appeared with the backdoor information, and the sender's email and signature were very special. If you want people to not care and think it has nothing to do with this incident, no one will believe it." Makino Yosuke smiled helplessly and retrieved the corresponding surveillance video as requested by the Japanese police. "What time are you looking for?"

Colles, whose suspicion has not yet been cleared, stood at the glass edge close to the ocean behind Grace, and silently made eye contact with the Chaldea members standing at the entrance of the main control room. Then, after the Japanese police confirmed that no submarine appeared in the surveillance, Colles gave orders to his only AI assistant who still had control authority inside the Pacific buoy before Conan opened his mouth to refute Kogoro Mouri.

"Narcissa, data restoration." Collis walked towards the center and stood behind Grace, instructing the AI ​​he created as if he were instructing a human being, "Publish the internal access records, and remember to restore the deleted ones - in addition, there should be a backup of the original surveillance video data, look for that as well."

“Can your AI assistant be commanded by voice?”

The Japanese police looked at Makino Yosuke.

"I mentioned this to Director Makino, but we all prefer to use keyboards and mice," Collis began, drawing everyone's attention to himself. "After all, Narcissa wasn't designed to be a pure tool at first. I designed it to be a life-assisting AI, so of course it has to have a conversation function."

- Although the part where commands can be input by voice was developed under BB's guidance, Narcissa is not BB after all. She cannot understand human speech and can only understand some short and clear commands. So after the research and development was completed, Colles specially used suggestion magic to make everyone who could use Narcissa forget the fact that commands can be given by voice.

The reason why Colles took action at this time was only because the preparations of the other parties had been completed, except for the Pacific Buoy - so after receiving BB's hint, he suddenly inserted himself into the investigation process of the Pacific Buoy.

BB has taken full control of the Pacific buoy system, and the AI ​​assistant Narcissa of course quickly disappeared due to BB's appearance - the AI ​​assistant Narcissa that now appears on the screen is BB himself in disguise.

BB's technology was far beyond that of this era, so she restored all the deleted access records and original surveillance videos, and displayed them densely in different windows on the huge display screen in the main control room.

"Virginia code, the key is MoonCancer." Coles held tightly behind his back the Baghdad battery that he had transformed into a conceptual dress for easy carrying, while continuing to issue orders slowly, "Then, seal the main control room and prohibit entry and exit - refuse to open the door to any member with door authority except Director Makino."

When Colles gave the last order, BB also posted the decryption results on the big screen in the main control room.

Pinga is Grace

『The Lightning of the Hanging Execution "Crafted Tree"*. 』

Coles finished his brief magic chant in a low voice, and after the magic was completed, he stuffed the Baghdad Battery concept suit back into his sleeve.

So, the next moment when Grace suddenly stood up and was about to attack Colles, the engineer fell limply in front of Colles for unknown reasons.

The Japanese police rushed over and while confirming Grace's physical condition, they also discovered that the engineer was actually a man dressed as a woman.

At the same time, on the seabed farther away than the Black Organization's submarine, a silver submarine was quietly parked there.

"Noah, is the defense function fully activated!?!"

"Leave the defense of the submarine to me, you can rest assured - but I'll leave the attack to you." Noah looked at the Nemo engine hitting the engine beside him and replied to Amphitrite, "Even if we haven't worked together for thousands or tens of thousands of years, I will never forget the time when we shared the same body, Amphitrite."

"That's good." Amphitrite's figure turned into a blue spirit and disappeared from the cabin, leaving only the adult Nemo standing in the captain's room. His voice continued to come out from the gun radio, "I will ensure that this submarine can dive to the vicinity of that submarine and the Pacific buoy as easily as the mermaid."

"I'll trouble you to deal with the aftermath this time." William's voice came from the communication, "After all, we can't just shut down the Pacific Buoy's defense system. Before it was sunk by the FBI, the organization's submarine should not be able to blow up the Pacific Buoy. After all, it is an international criminal police organization, and the number of decoy missiles should be sufficient."

"It doesn't matter. I will sink the Pacific Buoy to the bottom of the ocean. Has the evacuation over there started?" Nemo adjusted his hat and gave an order to the Nemo series in the submarine, "Nautilus, get ready to sail! Everyone, take your positions. Target! Pacific Buoy!"

"Well, Bourbon has already notified the Japanese police, so there is no problem with evacuation - remember to quietly send the two children back to shore like the mermaid princess written by Andersen."

"I understand." Captain Nemo cut off the communication, "Fasten your seat belts! The Nautilus is about to board!"

"Teriton engine, start!"

Sailor: "Aim!"

Professor: "Calculation completed~!"

Engine: "Oops, turn it up!"

Nurse: "Ship's equipment locked!"

Bakery: "Is pudding okay?"

The Nemos shouted together: "Allowed!!!"

"Captain Nemo will never forgive those who disturb the sea! Let's go--"

"I will go on an expedition to the Great Ram Nautilus!"
