Chapter 586 Haibara Ai: Sell Him? That Requires an Extra Charge [Bonus Chapter for Patron Raki_]
After drinking a glass of wine, Chi Feichei returned to the Room to try to sleep again, only to find that he couldn't fall asleep.
Upon careful thought, he understood.
Cocoon did not have a wake-up mechanism. If Players fell asleep in the Game and stayed in the Game for a long time, it would be bad for their Brain and they would become more and more tired.
Being unable to sleep in the Game was to avoid Body damage.
When Chi Feichei left the Room, Haibara Ai also left her Room, greeting him with a cold face, "Brother Hichiji, good morning, Professor, good morning."
She just went to her Room for a Circle, appreciating the Decoration Details of the Furniture, and a Night had passed, leaving her at a loss for words.
"Good morning!" Moriarty greeted amiably, and then smiled at Chi Feichei, "I believe she is your Younger Sister now. Sometimes her expression is exactly the same as yours."
"Oh?" Haibara Ai asked Moriarty, "Wasn't it like that before?"
"Professor was just suspicious." Chi Feichei walked to the Dining Table and sat down.
Victoria, British Food had not yet been simplified, the Flavor of Breakfast was worth looking forward to.
"You say that, and I can't just believe it casually, right?" Moriarty also arrived at the Dining Table, watching the Maid serve Breakfast, "I prefer to believe what I see and feel for myself."
During the Meal, Moriarty did not remain silent, "Mr. Chi, can you guess who I will designate as Jack the Ripper's Goal?"
"Irene Adler." Chi Feichei tasted the Food.
The Taste Effect of the Game was also very realistic.
"Irene?" Haibara Ai was surprised.
Letting Jack the Ripper kill the Female Holmes admired most, was Professor too Mad?
Moriarty chuckled, laughing somewhat maniacally, "That's right! This is my Gift to Holmes, and I also want to know if those Children can stop all this!"
Haibara Ai silently withdrew her Line of Sight and lowered her Head to eat Breakfast.
Professor went bad in a Moment.
Moriarty laughed enough before realizing that Chi Feichei and Haibara Ai were both eating Breakfast slowly and methodically, looking like 'you laugh as you please, I eat my Rice', and was somewhat speechless.
Chi Feichei was silent for a while, feeling that he should give Professor a little Face, otherwise eating other people's Food and living in other people's Home always felt a bit uneasy, "A good Gift, I also think it's worth Expectation."
"No need to go against your Heart to accommodate me, you are not interested at all, but it's understandable, you have no Relationship with Holmes, you can't understand my Expectation," Moriarty also started eating Breakfast, "As for your Younger Sister, she probably heard those Children mention Holmes, and felt that I would Take Action against Irene Adler was a bit unexpected, but she doesn't have much admiration for Holmes, so she can calm down quickly."
Haibara Ai thought for a while, "I quite like Irene Adler. There are not many people who can be admired by Holmes, and she is still a Female."
"Is that so?" Moriarty Looked Towards Haibara Ai, trying to tease the Little Lori, "It's a Pity that the Morning Newspaper has already been published, otherwise I could Consider changing the Goal. Of course, it's not impossible to change it now."
"Oh?" Haibara Ai Looked at Moriarty in Doubt.
"But it's also Troublesome to stop Jack the Ripper," Moriarty said calmly to Haibara Ai, "I need you to promise me a Condition in Exchange."
Chi Feichei glanced over and took out a Notebook to Record.
NPCs would also actively dig Pits for Players, trying to Temptation Players. Among them, Moriarty was extremely dangerous. It was not recommended for Children to interact with him too much, as they could easily be sold...
"I want to know what the Condition is first." Haibara Ai was a little curious.
Moriarty was not surprised by Chi Feichei's occasional Records and did not Look much. He continued to Look at Haibara Ai and said word by word, "Let your Older Brother stay in London, stay here. I only have this one Request."
Haibara Ai Looked at Chi Feichei in Doubt, "Do you want him to become your Subordinates?"
"No, I don't think I can control him," Moriarty said, "I just think that if he can stay, London will become more interesting."
Haibara Ai pondered, selling Brother Chi could make Moriarty revise the Goal?
Chi Feichei continued to Record:
Moriarty may not want to sell Children, but to make Children betray Family, his Behavior is extremely bad!
"Then you should still designate Irene Adler." Haibara Ai lowered her Head and continued to eat Rice.
She was almost misled by that Fellow Conan.
Conan Value Irene Adler, but she was not a Fan of Holmes.
Speaking of which, the Choice she faced was: for the Life of an NPC, Whether or Not to betray Brother Chi who entered the Game with her?
She and Chi Feichei had also played Online Game together, just like when they played Online Game, even if she sold Chi Feichei, Chi Feichei would not die, at worst he would quit the Game, and if the NPC died, it didn't Matter.
Although this was a Disposable Game, if they lost, they would be finished, but they also had to Consider whether Irene was a main quest NPC.
If Irene was an Important NPC related to the Task completion progress, and they couldn't clear the Game without Protection, she would definitely sell Chi Feichei, just like when they played Online Game before.
Chi Feichei, who lured the Monster over, could be sold.
But Irene Adler was obviously not enough to make her sell Chi Feichei.
After Chi Feichei finished Recording, he put down his Notebook and ate Rice, expressing satisfaction in his Heart.
"It seems that you care more about your Older Brother than Irene Adler," Moriarty said with some Regret, "Even her Life is not enough to make you waver?"
Haibara Ai drank a mouthful of Black tea, picked up a Napkin and wiped her mouth, Looked at Moriarty, "My Brother is smart and powerful, and has always been very good to me. If you want me to sell him, you have to add Price."
Alas, under Brother Chi's Influence, she felt that she had lost the Joy of immersing herself in the Game and became realistic.
Chi Feichei: "..."
Moriarty even turned his Head and asked Chi Feichei on the other side of the Dining Table, "If I agree to the Price she offers, will you stay?"
Chi Feichei Looked at Haibara Ai.
Haibara Ai: "..."
Guilty conscience.
However, if they could clear the Game, selling Brother Chi to Professor was not impossible... After All, if they didn't clear the Game, everyone would be doomed.
Playing Game together, it wasn't like she hadn't sold Brother Chi before... Cough, why was Brother Chi so concerned.
"If Professor doesn't mind raising a Spoiled Little Girl," Chi Feichei also dragged Haibara Ai into the Water, "If she agrees to stay, I will stay."
Haibara Ai glanced at Chi Feichei, where was she Spoiled?
"Of course, if she is willing to stay, it would be best to stay together." Moriarty Nodded, and then said to Haibara Ai, "Say your Conditions, I am serious."
Buy one get one free, why not be happy?
"No need to change the Goal, but if those Children don't catch Jack the Ripper, then you have to hand Jack the Ripper over to me. I want him alive, and you have to guarantee that he will not Attack me or lose his Attack power. I am also serious."
Haibara Ai kept a Deception in mind.
If Conan's side won, the Follow-up Conditions would naturally be void. Noah's Ark seemed to Hope Brother Hichiji would stay in the Game. She didn't dare to guarantee that facing Professor's Promise, she would not be used by Noah's Ark.
And if Conan's side didn't win, leaving her alone to catch Jack the Ripper, no matter how she thought about it, it would be difficult. It would be better to Pull Professor over to Help and catch Jack the Ripper first.
When the time came to clear the Game, send Conan and the others out. She and Chi Feichei would either go out together or be trapped in the Game by Noah's Ark.
But as long as someone could get out, they would always find a way to Help them. They would cooperate with Conan from inside and outside to find a way to overcome Noah's Ark.
"You seem to be a little persistent about Jack the Ripper..." Moriarty couldn't help but suspect whether Jack the Ripper had any Secret, but considering Chi Feichei's Attitude, if he wanted to catch Jack, Chi Feichei would have caught him long ago, and he was a little unsure. After Considering for a while, he still Nodded, "I agree to this Condition, then we have Say So?"
Haibara Ai Nodded heavily, "Say So."
Moriarty also said, "Actually, if your Older Brother doesn't leave, Jack the Ripper might be able to return to a controlled State, but I want your Older Brother to stay, not to make Jack the Ripper return to control."
Haibara Ai sorted it out, and always felt that Brother Hichiji had accidentally brushed his Favorability Level with the villains too High, and the villains did not want to let Chi Feichei go.
Could it really be a Conspiracy of Noah's Ark?
All morning, Chi Feichei took Haibara Ai, took Moriarty's Ride to stroll around London and Test. In the evening, they went to the Theatre with Moriarty again, preparing to watch Jack the Ripper's Action.
In the Car, taking advantage of the Opening when Moriarty was not around, Haibara Ai expressed her worries, "Professor insists on making you promise to stay, could it be a Trap of Noah's Ark? As long as you agree, it will keep you in the Game."
"Ai, your imagination is really rich." Chi Feichei commented.
Haibara Ai: "..."
This was not imagination, this was Logic thinking!
The big villain Moriarty wanted Chi Feichei to stay, and Jack the Ripper also seemed to want Chi Feichei to stay. Thinking about it, she felt something was wrong.
"Hiroki is a good Child," Chi Feichei Said, "He won't do such a thing, he just wants to Joke with everyone."
Haibara Ai was silent for a Moment, turned her Head to Look directly at Chi Feichei, and reminded softly, "Brother Hichiji, although... you may not be able to accept Say So, but Hiroki is already dead..."
...
Evening.
Backstage of the Opera House.
"...Noah's Ark is just a Computer Program he created. Even if it has the same Appearance, Sound, and even Personality as your Godson, it is still just a Computer Program," Haibara Ai said to Conan and his Group, "I Say So to him."
"Then what did Brother Chi Say?" Suzuki Sonoko asked.
"He said that Noah's Ark is also a good Child." Haibara Ai spread her hands.
Conan and others were silent.
Outside the Game, in the Control Center, a Group of people monitoring the Game were also silent.
They could not monitor Chi Feichei's Movement, but they could monitor the Movement of Conan's Group. It was indeed a good thing that Haibara Ai could transmit Chi Feichei's News.
"I think we can temporarily Trust them," Haibara Ai's Voice continued to come from the Console, "But Brother Chi also Analysis, since it is set to be rescued only after clearing the Game, then we also have to work hard to clear the Game."
Kudo Yusaku Nodded, not to make the Children too worried, nor to make the Children relax their Vigilance because of this, this was the best.
In the Game, in the Opera House.
Haibara Ai and others stood outside Irene Adler's Lounge.
"Did Jack the Ripper go to Brother Chi's side?" Conan asked.
"No Discovery for the time being," Haibara Ai spread her hands, "We are here with Professor Moriarty to watch the Play. I Say to Professor that I want to Come Over to cheer you up, and Professor agreed, but I can't stay too long, I have to go back before the Performance Opening."
Conan: "..."
Come to watch the Play?
Mouri Ran: "..."
Was she serious?
Suzuki Sonoko: "..."
This Kid's Calm appearance is really annoying...
"Also, I made a bet with Professor," Haibara Ai did not elaborate on her Intention, so as not to make this side careless, turned Around and left, "If you can't win against Jack the Ripper, I will sell Brother Chi to Professor, so you have to Refuel."
Mouri Ran watched Haibara Ai's Figure disappear at the Corner of the Corridor, still a little Stunned, "Sell Brother Chi... to Professor?!"
Conan was already used to Haibara Ai's Speech Pattern, Half-Moon Eyes said, "Something must have happened on their side."
[Thank you Patron Raki_ for the reward! Bow! ]
[End of Chapter]
Chapter 587 Professor was killed... [Bonus chapter for Patron Raki_]
Theatre Audience Seats.
Haibara Ai walked through the Corridor and arrived at the Second Floor Box. Seeing the Waiter open the Door for her, a Sentence naturally popped into her Heart:
NPCs will automatically perform Activities according to their Profession settings, no Bug found...
Wait, she's not testing a Game, why is she thinking about this?
Brother Hichiji is poisonous.
Chi Feichei and Moriarty were sitting by the Window Side, looking at the band going On Stage Outside. "It's about to start."
Haibara Ai said 'Thank You' to the Waiter, quickened her pace to enter the Door, leaned on the Window, and spoiled to Chi Feichei, "Irene Adler and Kudo Yukiko look exactly the Same."
"After you say that, I have no Expectation at all," Chi Feichei saw Moriarty Look over, and explained, "A female I know."
Moriarty Nodded and didn't ask further.
The Performance Opening began. Irene Adler, who looked the Same as Kudo Yukiko, went On Stage singing bel canto and walked to the center of the Stage.
The Box quieted down. Chi Feichei lowered his Eyes, listening to the melodious Song, and endured the impulse to Record in his Notebook.
This Sound really has the Effect of listening in the Opera House.
"Knocking Sound, Knocking Sound!"
A Knocking Sound rang out. A Waiter in a Formal Dress opened the Door, holding a Letter in his right Hand. "Sorry to Disturb, someone asked me to give this Letter to Mr. Chi Feichei."
Chi Feichei Got Up, Step Forward to take the Letter, and opened the Envelope.
There was only one line of Words on the Letter Paper:
[Charing Cross Station, wait for me on the Train about to depart, see you in Train Carriage No. 6. - Naughty Jack]
Jack the Ripper!
Haibara Ai, who was leaning on the Window Side, turned her Head to Look and teased, "Another Girl sent you a Love Letter?"
"It's a Man." Chi Feichei put the Letter away.
Haibara Ai: "!"
Moriarty: "..."
(﹁"﹁)!
"Jack's invitation..." Chi Feichei pondered for a moment and made a Decision, "I'll go see him."
"I'll go too." Haibara Ai left the Window Side, feeling relieved in her Heart.
She was startled, she thought that after Chi Feichei entered this Game, the target of his attraction had become weird.
"He intends to give up Irene Adler?" Moriarty thoughtfully Looked Outside the window, "Then I can enjoy the Performance again. After you handle Matters, if you still have nowhere to go, you can come to my Home to find me."
Chi Feichei understood. It seemed that Moriarty didn't intend to go together. He turned around and went out the Door with Haibara Ai. "Professor, pay attention to Reichenbach Falls three years later."
Moriarty doubtfully watched the Box Door being closed, withdrew his Line of Sight, and didn't ask further.
In the Corridor, Haibara Ai followed Chi Feichei towards the Stairwell Entrance. "Why remind him?"
"We can't eat and live here for free." Chi Feichei said.
Haibara Ai was suddenly speechless, thought for a moment, "Professor doesn't really want you to stay with him? Why not stop you from seeing Jack the Ripper? Isn't he worried about you encountering Danger?"
"He thinks I'm more dangerous than Jack, and doesn't think Jack can do anything to me."
"Oh? No wonder he said you could find him after you solve it, then we..."
"Boom—!"
An Explosion Sound came from the Box behind them.
Haibara Ai turned her Head and stared blankly behind her.
The Box they had just left was engulfed in Firelight, and Smoke and Dust pervaded.
She remembered that Professor Moriarty was still inside, so the Professor is dead? What Situation is this?
This Explosion Sound, like the Bell of the Opening curtain, explosion sounds rang out one after another throughout the Theatre.
Chi Feichei didn't stay any longer, picked up the stunned Haibara Ai, ran down the Staircase, and ran all the way out of the Opera House.
The whole Theatre was in chaos, and countless people panicked and ran Outside.
Chi Feichei was considered the first batch to run out of the Theatre. Without stopping, he carried Haibara Ai and continued to walk quickly towards Charing Cross Station.
"Professor, he..." Haibara Ai was still unable to recover.
"It seems, rather than letting him pay attention to Reichenbach Falls three years later, perhaps I should let him pay attention to Jack the Ripper's Bomb." Chi Feichei walked through the Crowd all the way, went onto the Platform, and found the Train about to depart on the Platform.
"Is it Jack the Ripper? Why did he do this?" Haibara Ai couldn't understand even more.
Jack the Ripper counter-killed his Boss Professor Moriarty, what confusing Development is this?
"If you don't intend to see him, you die." Chi Feichei aimed at an Opening when others were not paying attention, carried Haibara Ai onto Carriage No. 6, and then put Haibara Ai down.
If he had received the Letter and didn't intend to see Jack the Ripper, he wouldn't have left in time to catch this Train, and would have been bombed anyway.
As for Professor Moriarty...
"The Professor is wary of him and guarding against him, but he has been waiting for the Professor's Command." Chi Feichei saw that there was no one else in the Carriage, and walked to the Window Side Location to sit down.
Last night in Whitechapel, when Jack the Ripper faced Professor Moriarty, he would put down all guards and quietly wait for Instructions.
But Professor Moriarty was full of guards, treating Jack the Ripper as an Obstacle.
Last night, he originally didn't intend to say anything to Jack the Ripper. He thought the Professor would say something, but the Professor didn't.
Perhaps Moriarty didn't see it, but he saw it. When Jack the Ripper stood there, he was expecting Professor Moriarty to see him, even if it was to issue a Murder Command.
At that time, Jack the Ripper standing there was like a Child. He suddenly didn't want to let Jack the Ripper expect in vain.
It was he who gave Jack the Ripper an Expectation that he shouldn't have, so he should go over and explain a bit - it's not the Professor looking for you, it's me, don't wait, he has nothing to look for you.
So he went over.
And even when seeing him, who came down from Professor Moriarty's Car and had the same Purple Eyes, although Jack the Ripper was curious, the first Sentence he asked was still: What Instructions does the Professor have...
"So he killed the Professor?" Haibara Ai felt shocked. "Did he calculate that Professor Moriarty wouldn't leave with us, or did he intend to see if Professor Moriarty would choose to come see him?"
"Don't Know," Chi Feichei said, "But he will Take Action against the Professor, there should be a Reason because of me."
Haibara Ai couldn't help but size up Chi Feichei.
What exactly did Brother Hichiji do that could actually make Jack the Ripper kill his Lord...
"Probably he discovered someone more worthy of attention, so the Professor became dispensable..."
Chi Feichei saw the Train start moving and said no further.
"What about Jack the Ripper?" Haibara Ai asked in Doubt, "Didn't he invite us..."
"Click."
The Door to the front Carriage was opened. The Woman entering the Door was wearing a Women's Clothing Purple Formal Dress, with Red Hair combed behind her Head, wearing Makeup, and a pair of Purple Eyes that looked very stunning.
Haibara Ai: "?"
Someone who went to the wrong Carriage?
The Woman closed the Door, turned around to look at Chi Feichei, but issued a Man's voice, "Oh dear, how come you also brought a Little Sister over?"
Haibara Ai: "..."
Could this be...
Jack the Ripper? In Women's Clothing?
"My Younger Sister, Haibara Ai," Chi Feichei introduced, raised his Eye to size up Jack the Ripper, "You should learn the Voice Changing Technique, or learn Ventriloquism with the Professor. What a waste of such a good-looking Outfit. Listening to your voice, my goosebumps are all up."
"You still speak so annoyingly," Jack the Ripper walked to the Seat and casually sat down, "Why don't you say it's quite disgusting?"
"In front of my Younger Sister, I want to speak more implicitly." Chi Feichei expressed that it wasn't that he didn't want to say it, but to maintain his Appearance.
Haibara Ai sat, reached out to cover her Face.
Why...
Why does Brother Hichiji also seem very familiar with Jack the Ripper...
Less than a day and a Night in the Game, converted to Reality Time, it's at most three Hours, what exactly has Brother Hichiji done so many Matters?
Jack the Ripper Looked at Haibara Ai, "Your Younger Sister? Not like you at all, Eyes not alike, Hair Color not alike..."
"None of your business." Haibara Ai couldn't help but say.
"But Personality is very similar, annoying," Jack the Ripper looked at Haibara Ai, his Gaze suddenly became brutal and ferocious, the corner of his mouth raised, and he said coldly, "Grabbing you as a Hostage will have something to do with me, right?"
"Click."
The Door to the front Carriage was opened. The Train Conductor doubtfully looked at a beautiful Lady Reach Out her Hand to a Child.
Jack the Ripper's reached out Hand stiffened a bit, then very naturally patted Haibara Ai's Head, squinting his Eyes and smiling.
Haibara Ai's astonished expression gradually became wooden.
She reports, there is a Murder demon here who is attempting Women's Clothing to hold her Hostage.
"Sorry, to Disturb," the Train Conductor looked at the Situation in the Carriage, only considering them as a family of three going on a long trip, and said apologetically, "Just now someone told us that Jack the Ripper has mixed into the Train. Please all Passengers go to Carriage No. 3."
...
Five minutes later.
Everyone on the Train gathered in Carriage No. 3.
Haibara Ai quietly sat beside Jack the Ripper, feeling the Knife that Jack the Ripper put behind her, her Half-Moon Eyes looked towards Chi Feichei standing beside.
Indeed, she was being held Hostage.
Moreover, she felt that Brother Hichiji was still gloating.
"Don't move around!" Jack the Ripper threatened in a low voice.
Haibara Ai withdrew her Line of Sight, if she doesn't move, then she doesn't move.
Not long after, the Train Chief brought Conan, Mouri Ran, and 'Morohoshi' in red Clothes, three people, into the Door.
Chi Feichei raised his Eye and Looked.
Conan's side has three, him and Haibara Ai, it is estimated that now in the whole Game, only the five of them are left.
Conan glanced and saw Chi Feichei wearing Black Formal Dress, and hehe-ed in his Heart.
Just Chi Feichei's body Coldness, plus Black Clothes, other Passengers all don't approach Chi Feichei, it's difficult for him not to notice.
No, it's not that everyone doesn't approach Chi Feichei.
On the Seat beside Chi Feichei, a woman with long red Hair, beautiful and refined, and Haibara Ai were sitting closely together very intimately, looking like a family of three, but...
They were very clear that Haibara Ai was a 'Player', it was impossible for her to know a strange woman, and with Haibara Ai's Personality, it was also impossible for her to show intimacy like this just because a woman looked kind.
Conan and Mouri Ran looked at Haibara Ai, and then looked at Women's Clothing Jack the Ripper, their gazes became weird for a moment.
Jack the Ripper in Women's Clothing...
Really quite beautiful, yeah...
Haibara Ai continued to sit calmly.
Hold her Hostage? Threaten her not to move?
All okay, but Jack the Ripper probably doesn't know, being so close to her, it's simply highlight red, just short of putting a 'Focus Fire' Symbol on her Head.
The Train Chief waited for a while, and seeing that Conan and the three of them didn't say anything, he was a little Doubtful and asked in a low voice, "How is it? Everyone on the Train is here, is Jack the Ripper here?"
"Uh-huh..." Mouri Ran also saw that Haibara Ai's Predicament was not very good, hesitated for a moment, her Gaze gradually became firm, looked towards Chi Feichei, and posed a Karate Stance, "Brother Hichiji, just fight! Conan, Morohoshi, you retreat backwards!"
Focus Fire, Women's Clothing Jack the Ripper!
Jack the Ripper was stunned, moved the Knife that was put on Haibara Ai's Waist upwards, and placed it in front of Haibara Ai's Neck, turned his Head and fiercely said to Chi Feichei, "It's all your fault! Can't you perform a bit more approachable?"
When Mouri Ran and Conan were stunned, Chi Feichei already had a black Face and hammered a Punch towards Jack the Ripper.
Blame him? Still throwing Responsibility to him at this time?
Unreasonable!
[Bonus chapter for Patron Raki_], bowing twice! (In addition, quietly asking for Monthly Passes)
[End of Chapter]
Chapter 588: Chi Feichei, the Master of the Awkward Silence
Jack the Ripper didn't expect Chi Feichei to attack so suddenly. He quickly ducked to avoid Chi Feichei's fist, tossed Haibara Ai towards Conan and the others, and threw a Smoke Bomb.
"Bang!" Smoke filled the Carriage. Ran rushed into the Smoke, "Stop!"
Conan and 'Hideki Morohoshi' worked together to catch Haibara Ai as she was thrown. Conan shouted, "Open the Window!"
Sawada Hiroki, who had taken Morohoshi's place, immediately opened the window.
Conan also ran to the other side and opened the Window on the other side of the Carriage.
After Ai steadied herself, she looked back in the direction she had been thrown, her mood a little complicated.
Jack the Ripper could have just tossed her aside, continued holding her hostage while running, or even stabbed her. But he actually intentionally threw her towards Conan and the others, and even made sure to throw her low enough.
It seemed to be not just to stop Conan and the others, but also to make sure she would be caught and wouldn't get hurt.
The Wind from Outside rushed into the Carriage, dispersing the Smoke.
The passengers in the Car, along with Jack the Ripper, Chi Feichei, and Ran, had all vanished.
"The passengers are gone? Let's check the front Carriage!" Conan ran to the Entrance and found Ai standing there blankly. "Ai?"
"It's nothing," Ai followed. "I just realized Jack the Ripper is a little cuter than the Professor."
"Huh?" Conan was Speechless.
What weird things is Haibara saying again? What's there to compare between two big villains?
Ai didn't explain.
She just suddenly realized that people really can't be judged by a single label.
She still couldn't accept Jack the Ripper's brutal crimes, but that didn't stop her from thinking Jack the Ripper was a little bit cute...
...
Bus Roof of the Train.
In the Night Breeze, Ran was tied up with a Rope and thrown at Jack the Ripper's feet.
One end of a long Rope was tied to the Knot behind Ran, and the other end was tied to Jack the Ripper's foot.
Jack the Ripper tore off the Women's Clothing, wiped off the Lipstick, and looked at Chi Feichei's calm face with some annoyance. "You actually hit me?"
"You were the one who blamed me first." Chi Feichei sat down on the Bus Roof.
His teammate had become a prisoner in a second, tied up securely. What else could he say?
It was like in a game cutscene, where a designated teammate gets instantly defeated, leaving him without even a hint of tension about a 'teammate being captured'.
"You look so unapproachable, you draw attention at a glance. Who else is to blame but you?" Jack the Ripper also sat on the Bus Roof.
"If you hadn't taken Ai hostage, they wouldn't have recognized you so quickly." Chi Feichei corrected.
Ran: "..." (awkward)
Judging by their Stance, were they planning to come to the Bus Roof to chat?
Then why did Jack the Ripper kidnap her?
"Is that so?" Jack the Ripper took out a Knife, placed it on Ran's Neck, and stared at Ran fiercely. "You tell me, is it?"
Ran was speechless. Was this the purpose of kidnapping her? To coerce a Testimony out of her?
Did he think she would compromise? No way!
"We all know each other. We've met Ai's acquaintances before. She wouldn't be so close to someone we've never seen."
Jack the Ripper fell into Silence.
Could they maybe look at the Knife in his hand and reconsider how they were speaking? Were they acting like the Knife in his hand didn't exist?
"Are you feeling awkward?" Chi Feichei asked.
Jack the Ripper: "..." (flipping table)
This guy's words are really annoying.
Kill him, don't kill him, kill him...
Ran: "..."
Brother Hichiji is probably like this, which is why he's drawn so much of Jack the Ripper's hatred, right?
"Sister Ran! Fei..."
Conan, Ai, and 'Hideki Morohoshi' climbed onto the Bus Roof, ran closer, and noticed the strange Atmosphere between the three, slowly stopping.
Jack the Ripper sat on the Bus Roof, the Knife in his hand placed on Ran's Neck, but his angry Gaze was fixed on Chi Feichei, as if threatening Chi Feichei.
Across from him, Chi Feichei was also sitting, with his usual indifferent Face.
And Ran, tied up with a Knife at her Neck, actually had an awkward smile on her Face...
This Situation was a bit confusing.
"The conductor and other passengers are gone," Ai felt she'd been confused enough and was too lazy to think about what had just happened. She got straight to Serious Business. "The Train is unmanned and is rushing towards the Platform at top Speed. If this keeps up, we'll all die. Even if we wanted to jump off mid-journey, at this Train Speed, we wouldn't survive."
Jack the Ripper laughed maniacally. "What a perfect Ending! Then let's all die together!"
Conan frowned, Staring at Jack the Ripper.
"Conan, careful of your Head." Chi Feichei suddenly spoke.
"Huh?" Conan was still a little confused when Ai pulled him down to the ground.
The Train entered a Tunnel. The Bus Roof was very close to the Tunnel ceiling, leaving very little Crack.
The Group quickly lay flat on the Train roof to avoid being hit by the Tunnel ceiling. After the Train rumbled through the Tunnel, they sat up again, looked at each other Speechless, and fell into Silence.
Conan sighed, Speechless.
This wasn't how the Pace should have gone.
Shouldn't the next step be their Decisive Battle with Jack the Ripper, fighting to the death?
If they lost, it was game over.
If they won, they'd clear the Game.
And yet, it had turned into an awkward Silence?
Sawada Hiroki, who had taken Hideki Morohoshi's place, remained silent Aside.
He felt the Plot had been seriously warped by the Godfather. How had it come to this?
At this rate, who knew how things would Develop?
Should he correct it?
But if he corrected it rashly, the Plot would become disjointed. He didn't want the Game Plot to be unnatural...
Troublesome.
...
Game Outside, Venue Control Center.
Kudo Yusaku had deduced the Truth of Katamura Tadahiko's murder, accusing Thomas Sindola of being the Murderer. Just as he finished presenting the Evidence, he suddenly noticed his son's voice was missing from the Listening device. He asked in Doubt, "Doctor, what's going on?"
"Weird..."
Doctor Agasa sat at the Computer, typing on the Keyboard and turning up the Game volume. Even in the Control Center, he could hear the whistling Wind on the Train roof over there. "I've already turned up the volume, but there's still no one speaking. I can hear the Sound of the Train moving and the Wind. The Listening device should be working fine."
"When was their last Communication?" Kudo Yusaku asked.
Doctor Agasa rewound the Recording.
"Conan, careful of your Head."
Doctor Agasa Speechless.
Hearing Chi Feichei say something so chilling, even he felt it was eerie and terrifying.
What happened to Conan's Head? Or did something happen to someone else's Head?
Had something terrifying happened inside?
"Could they have run into Danger and been eliminated from the Game?" Kudo Yusaku frowned.
"Oh! No, they haven't," Doctor Agasa pulled up the Map in the Game, looking at the moving green dots. "Hassashi, Conan, Ran, Ai, and that Child named Morohoshi are still in the Game. Just now... the Train they were on went through a Tunnel."
"'Careful of your Head'? I think they were probably on the Train Carriage roof. Conan didn't notice the Tunnel ahead, and Mr. Chi was reminding Conan to lie down to avoid hitting his Head on the Tunnel ceiling," Kudo Yusaku Judgement the Situation. "Rewind the Recording again."
Doctor Agasa rewound the Recording further.
Chi Feichei's Movement couldn't be monitored, so the Listening was focused on Conan.
"On the Carriage! Let's go up!... Sister Ran! Fei..."
Conan's voice cut off abruptly.
Kudo Yusaku frowned in Doubt.
What just happened?
Did Shinichi see something that surprised him? Or did the Listening suddenly cut out for a moment?
Like this, he had no way to deduce the Situation in the Game!
After a moment of Silence, Ai's voice came through: "The conductor and other passengers are gone. The Train is unmanned and is rushing towards the Platform at top Speed. If this keeps up, we'll all die. Even if we wanted to jump off mid-journey, at this Train Speed, we wouldn't survive."
Immediately after, Jack the Ripper's maniacal laughter echoed, "Perfect Ending! Then let's all die together!"
Chi Feichei's voice: "Conan, careful of your Head."
Then, Silence.
"The Train hasn't left the Tunnel yet?" Kudo Yusaku asked.
"No, it already left the Tunnel a long time ago." Doctor Agasa was completely confused.
Why did he feel the Atmosphere over there was off?
It was so intense before, but after Chi Feichei showed up, the Sounds from the Listening device made it hard to analyze the Situation in the Game. It was like...
Kudo Yusaku replayed the few sentences he'd heard earlier, and was Speechless.
In the Game, it was probably...
An awkward Silence?
"Oh?" Doctor Agasa perked up, switching to real-time Listening. "They're talking again!"
...
In the Game.
Conan Looked at Jack the Ripper, then sighed again.
Right, once Chi Feichei got involved, the Pace went completely off. Even a final Decisive Battle could turn into an awkward Silence. He was impressed.
But what should he do now? Jump up and declare war to force the Pace back on track?
It felt too Chuunibyou.
"Stop sighing," Jack the Ripper said playfully, sitting Aside and toying with the Knife in his hand. "We're all going to die together. No one's getting away!"
"You're just giving up like that?" Conan glanced at Jack the Ripper with Half-Moon Eyes. He didn't want to be dragged down to death with Jack the Ripper. The lives of fifty-five other Children were still in their hands. He looked at Chi Feichei. "I think we can still find a Method to salvage this Situation."
"Hmph!" Jack the Ripper put the Knife back against the Neck of his Hostage, Ran, beside him. "If you try to leave, I'll Kill her first."
"What do you even want?" Conan couldn't help but ask. "You killed your Mother and avenged your years of Resentment. What more do you want now?!"
"I want to live!" Jack the Ripper finally got to say the lines Noah's Ark had set for him. "To let the vicious Blood flowing through me ride Noah's Ark and be passed down to the next Era! Hahahaha..."
Game Outside in the Control Center, Kudo Yusaku heard these words and realized this was the Answer in the Game that Kenmura and Chi Feichei had mentioned. He looked at Thomas Sindola. "This is also the Reason you Killed Kenmura, isn't it?"
Thomas Sindola broke out in a Cold sweat.
"Jack the Ripper's Bloodline is like it was pushed onto Noah's Ark, surviving all the way to the modern Era," Kudo Yusaku Staring at Thomas Sindola, his Gaze turning serious. "You're Jack the Ripper's Descendant, aren't you?!"
"Huh?" Inspector Megure exclaimed in Surprise. "Jack the Ripper's Descendant?!"
Chi Feichei's voice came through the Listening device. "Stop laughing. It's awful."
Kudo Yusaku paused for a moment. "Doctor, could you please turn the volume down a bit?"
"Ah, okay." Doctor Agasa adjusted the volume.
Kudo Yusaku then looked at Thomas and continued, "Hiroki probably learned about this through the DNA Tracking System. The head of the IT industry is actually a Descendant of a serial Murderer from a century ago. If this were to become public Knowledge, you'd lose everything. So, to silence him, you drove Hiroki to Suicide. And after realizing that Kenmura and Mr. Chi might also have noticed something, you Killed Kenmura, who knew the Situation, and planned to Take Action against Mr. Chi..."
Through the Listening device, Jack the Ripper's roaring voice echoed from the Game: "What do you think you're doing? Don't think I'm afraid to Kill you!"
Kudo Yusaku took a deep breath. "Doctor..."
Could he still even Reason properly?
With the Game Sounds constantly intruding, he felt like he was trying to Reason seriously while Children watched cartoons beside him.
(End of Chapter)
Chapter 589: It's Family Time Now
Doctor Agasa chuckled awkwardly, "Sorry, sorry, they went silent again just now, and I was worried about the eavesdropping malfunctioning, so I couldn't help but turn up the volume a bit..."
From the game eavesdropping, Chi Feichei's voice: "A child jumped off a building, I want to try what it feels like to jump down... How about we do it together?"
"Doctor, wait," Kudo Yusaku called out to Doctor Agasa to stop, "Listen to what they want to do."
Jump off the Train together?
The Train is traveling at high speed, trying to jump off to escape, that's probably not going to work.
Wait, jump off a building? Could it be...
Inside the game.
Chi Feichei stepped forward and untied the Rope from Mouri Ran, tying one end of the Rope to his wrist, then turned his head to ask Jack the Ripper, "A child jumped off a building, I want to try what it feels like to jump down... How about we do it together?"
Conan was stunned, "Hey, you..."
"Oh? Just the two of us?" Jack the Ripper completely ignored Conan, stood up, and asked Chi Feichei with his arms crossed, "Are you planning to drag me to death, so they can figure out a way to escape?"
"There are many Red Wine Barrels in the Truck Bed, we can break the Red Wine Barrels and soak in the Red Wine as a buffer," Chi Feichei said to Conan, then looked at Jack the Ripper again, "Either we jump together, or I jump, and use the Rope to bring you down."
Jack the Ripper was about to speak when he saw Chi Feichei already jump off the Train and fall towards the Cliff outside the Train, he was stunned for a moment, "Hey! You..."
Didn't he say he'd give him a choice? Choice? Where did the choice go?
The Rope connecting the two tightened quickly.
Jack the Ripper subconsciously wanted to use a Knife to cut the Rope tied to his foot, but when the Knife touched the Rope, he still paused, and was dragged down the Cliff by the Rope.
On the Train Carriage, Conan and the others were all silent.
He said jump and he jumped, it was a bit sudden, and this scene that should have been magnificent, why does it feel like Chi Feichei is just playing around?
In the Cliff, Chi Feichei listened to the whistling wind in his ears, feeling the sensation of weightlessness in his Body, and sighed.
He wanted to feel how much Fear Hiroki Sawada felt when he jumped from the Floor.
But it was useless.
Whether it was because he knew he wouldn't really die, or because of the influence of his cheat code, he really didn't feel any Fear.
Above, Jack the Ripper followed closely and fell, quickly catching up to Chi Feichei, but suddenly found that the Rope between the two suddenly tightened, and was wrapped around a Tree Trunk on the Cliff, slowing down his falling speed, and pulling him back up.
"Don't look for Troublesome for them, it's over, and also, your crime Method is really not Gentle at all, you should find a Wife and go Home to take care of Children."
Chi Feichei said a Sentence, and when Jack the Ripper was pulled back to the Tree Trunk on the Cliff, he took out the Gun from his pocket and fired a shot at the Rope.
Jack the Ripper also considered him, although he knew that everything would reset after the Game ended, but it didn't prevent him from playing a perfect Ending according to his Mood.
Moreover, changing to a Little Sister to jump off a Cliff together, that's tragic romance, jumping off a Cliff with a big Man, that's horror!
"Bang!"
The Muzzle of the Revolver flashed Firelight, cutting the Rope tied to Chi Feichei's Wrist.
Jack the Ripper lay on the Tree Trunk, his Vein on his forehead bulging with anger, and roared towards the Cliff.
"Said I could choose... choose... choose..."
Echoes came from the Cliff.
Soon, the Train drove far away, away from the Cliff.
Conan withdrew his Line of Sight from the Cliff, and found that Mouri Ran, Haibara Ai, and Morohoshi Hideki looked heavy-hearted, and cheered them up, "Okay, let's hurry to the Truck Bed to Check, using the Method Brother Chi said, it should be able to buffer, when we reach the Terminal Station, we must have one person survive, and then we can revive everyone!"
"Also Correct." Mouri Ran felt relieved in her Heart.
She almost forgot that this was just a Game.
'Hideki Morohoshi' received News from Noah's Ark, lowered his eyes, and followed the others.
Jack the Ripper was rescued...
According to this Ending, Godfather really did let Jack the Ripper's Bloodline be passed down.
...
Chi Feichei opened his eyes again and was already back in Reality.
The Cocoon Venue was brightly lit, and the Cocoon like capsules around him opened one by one.
The Guardians in the banquet ran forward to greet the Children coming out of the Cocoons, filled with laughter and joy.
"Father, I worked very hard!"
"Although I didn't survive to the end, I helped!"
Chi Feichei just took off his Helmet and left the Cocoon when he saw Conan swaying to him.
Conan looked up at Chi Feichei and explained the Situation, "Your Trust before was right, Noah's Ark didn't want to eliminate the second and third generations completely, just wanted them to struggle hard in Predicament without the Help of Adults, and also, he wanted to play a Game with everyone, he replaced Morohoshi's Identity and has been by our side... These are what he told us."
"Also, we Saw it..." Mouri Ran also stepped forward and said with a smile, "Turns out Brother Hichiji, you are so good at taking care of Children."
"He showed us a Scene of you taking Hiroki to the Amusement Park to Play, and a Scene of you taking him to build a Snowman," Haibara Ai followed, with a cold face, "He said with a face of showing off that I haven't had these, and also said I'm just a Little Sister, what does he mean by this?"
"Then..." Chi Feichei Looked towards the Display Screen in front of the Venue.
"He has already left, he said that his Computer would attract the greed of the world, even if he stayed by your side, he would only cause Troublesome for you, and also, he is not Hiroki." Conan said word by word, hoping that his Little Friend could accept the Reality.
"He originally wanted to give you a hug, but he said that this kind of thing is more Suitable for Hiroki to do," Mouri Ran added, "But he asked us to tell you that Hiroki is very Happy to have you."
Chi Feichei nodded calmly, and Looked at Hideki Morohoshi who looked blank over there, "Morohoshi is quite innocent."
That Child was account-stolen and played by Hiroki Sawada after entering, it was completely playing for nothing.
Mouri Ran burst into laughter.
Okay, if he can Joke, it seems that Chi Feichei has also let go.
The jump that Chi Feichei took with Jack the Ripper before made her worried all the time, afraid that Chi Feichei would suddenly have a whim one day and jump again in Reality to 'feel the Feeling'...
Haibara Ai turned her head and Saw Hideki Morohoshi with a stunned face, and raised the corners of her mouth.
Conan also smiled, still secretly keeping Vigilance in his Heart.
Chi Feichei is very good at hiding his Emotion, so he still needs to be Careful.
When necessary, he can Consider Summoning the Great Demon King Fukuyama back...
"Ran!" Mori Kogoro ran forward.
"Father..." Mouri Ran greeted him.
Mori Kogoro hugged Mouri Ran, tears flowing exaggeratedly.
Chi Feichei Saw Chi Kana standing by the Stage, stepped forward, Saw Chi Kana Reach Out her Hand, and also Reached Out his Hand to hug Chi Kana, and asked in a low voice, "Weren't you worried?"
"With those Words you said beforehand, not worried." Chi Kana said softly.
Conan Saw that no one was paying attention, and secretly slipped to the Corner to find Kudo Yusaku, Father and Son looked at each other in Silence, exchanging Gaze.
Haibara Ai Looked around, lowered her head and smiled, and walked towards the Staircase of the Stage.
Okay, now it's family time...
"Ai-chan."
Haibara Ai stopped, turned her Head and Looked at Chi Kana who was smiling at her Gently.
Chi Kana stepped forward and Reached Out her Hand to touch Haibara Ai's Head, "You stayed until the end, very good."
Haibara Ai was stunned, feeling the warmth on her Head, still a little lost in thought.
Never had... praise like from a Mother.
"No, Actually Brother Hichiji died with Jack the Ripper, and told us the Method..."
"Then Ai also worked hard, didn't you? Effort is worth praise," Chi Kana turned her Head to Look at Doctor Agasa who was walking over, "I have something I want to Discuss with you and Mr. Agasa, originally I wanted to make an Appointment for Tomorrow to formally visit, but so many things happened tonight, I think it's Might As Well Say it now."
"Ah?" Doctor Agasa was puzzled, "Formal visit?"
"I want to be Ai's Godmother, what do you think?" Chi Kana asked Doctor Agasa with a smile.
Just now, seeing Haibara Ai walking alone through pairs of intimately interacting Parents and Children, she suddenly felt a little Uncomfortable.
Once she also secretly Saw that her Son was also alone, walking through a Group of intimately interacting Parents and Children.
Just now she was a little hesitant, worried that she would rashly step forward to provoke other people's Little Girl, and not do well what a Mother should do, and secretly asked Chi Feichei: Was it okay before even if we weren't by your side?
Her Son's answer was: Knowing that you exist is enough, usually being alone is quite Freedom.
There was also a bit of disgust, which made her Speechless.
But she also figured it out.
Once she was in Japan, and her Parents were in Britain, also very far away, but it seemed that as long as her Parents existed, her Heart would always be more at ease, until her Father Death and Mother Death, when only she was left, she understood a Feeling, the gap between existence and non-existence is indeed very big.
So, she felt that she should mention this Matter at this Time.
Doctor Agasa was a little surprised, but after Considering it, he still scratched his Head and said, "This... it's okay if Ai agrees, I don't have any Opinion..."
Haibara Ai hesitated, the first thing she thought of was the Organization, if she gets involved with her, there will be Danger, but...
Brother Hichiji has always treated her as a Younger Sister, and she always feels that it's not good to not give a Formal Relationship.
Especially when Chi Kana proposed it, if she refused, would she be regarded as not liking it, not willing?
Agree? Not agree? Agree? No...
"Ai?" Chi Kana Looked at Haibara Ai.
"I..." Haibara Ai hesitated, "I have a little Troublesome here..."
"Mafia?" Chi Kana asked.
Haibara Ai: "Almost..."
Doctor Agasa: "???"
Huh? Mafia?
"So, I think it's better not to Public Baptism or Banquet others first," Haibara Ai looked up at Chi Kana, her Gaze serious, "Not for the Time being."
Chi Kana was stunned, then smiled again, "Just this? Actually, when I was born and Baptized, not many people were present, and there was no celebration Banquet afterwards, but before my Godfather Death, our two Family Relationship was always very good, this is Family Matters, what's really Important is Family recognition, if you think it needs to be Public, then Public, if you think it's not needed, then it's not Public."
Haibara Ai felt relieved in her Heart, hesitated for a moment, "And... I want to live at Doctor Agasa's Home."
She made a Request again, it feels so excessive.
Little did she know, Chi Kana also felt relieved in her Heart.
If she didn't take this Child, she would feel sorry for this Child, if she took her by her side, she would worry about Chi Feichei being sad.
"I was just about to Say to you, Actually I'm not someone who can have too much Time to Keep Company with Children," Chi Kana Looked at Chi Feichei, and explained to Haibara Ai again, "Probably it will take two or three years before I can put down all the Matters at hand, and This Year is very Important..."
"It's okay, I'm fine in Japan, and, Doctor..." Haibara Ai Looked at Doctor Agasa.
"And Doctor can't be left alone, right?" Chi Kana smiled, "Hassashi told me before that Doctor is still counting on you for Retirement."
Doctor Agasa: "..."
Retirement or something is too early, he is not old yet...
Haibara Ai: "..."
She thought Brother Hassashi was Joking before, so Say So, Brother Hassashi is Actually also counting on her for Retirement?
"Just treat me as another Mother," Chi Kana Looked at Haibara Ai, "Then it's settled?"
Haibara Ai lowered her Head, "O-Okay."
She actually felt a little embarrassed in her Heart, and a little Happy, wouldn't her Face be red? If it's Seen, her Appearance will collapse.
(/ω＼)
Hide it by lowering her head.
(End of Chapter)
Chapter 590 Second Formal Family Meeting
Chi Kana chuckled, bent down closer to Haibara Ai, and said apologetically, "Ai, there's one more thing. There's a Big Secret in the Home that I should have told you about, but I thought I'd wait until you're a little older. Is that okay?"
"Big Secret?" Haibara Ai asked curiously, "Is it related to you and Brother Hichiji?"
"Uh-huh." Chi Kana nodded.
She really didn't know how to talk about Genetic Disease.
It was still a long time in the future, so she should take it slowly.
Haibara Ai didn't press further, "I also have a Big Secret that I should have told you, but I haven't figured out how to say it yet, so..."
"Then let's wait until the right time, and we can exchange secrets, how about it?" Chi Kana asked.
Haibara Ai nodded obediently, "Okay."
If they both had Big Secrets that they weren't saying for the time being, then she wouldn't feel like she was being insincere, and she would also have time to consider how to say it.
Chi Feichei and Doctor Agasa stood aside.
When Kuroba Kaito brought it up, his first thought was—suitable.
Children with Parents have a sense of security in their Hearts to some extent. What Haibara Ai lacked since childhood was precisely this sense of security, and if Haibara Ai were to call someone else Mother, given Haibara Ai's personality, it would probably be difficult for her to accept.
A Godmother is different. A Godmother would not deny the existence of the Child's original Family. Just like Chi Kana said, she's just another Mother, a supplement to Family Affection.
And his Mother...
Although Chi Kana was denying it in her Heart, in reality, Chi Kana was still worried that her Only Son would die one day, afraid of losing her Child, extremely lacking in a Sense of security, and unwilling to divide her love for her Only Son, repeatedly struggling.
Becoming a Godmother to other children would be easier for Chi Kana to accept.
Both sides could make up for the incompleteness in their Hearts, both had Matters to solve, and both had overly heavy secrets in their Hearts. If everyone was the Same, they could slowly get to know each other and get along, and be mentally prepared before being honest with each other.
This was the most suitable Pace, and both of these people were unable to adapt to a Pace that was too fast.
Currently, it was enough as long as they were each other's reliance and Concern in their Hearts.
Chi Kana and Haibara Ai talked in low voices for a long time.
Conan and the others saw it from afar and didn't step forward to disturb them, leaving ahead of time.
It wasn't until almost everyone had left that the two noticed.
Chi Kana Looked around, Looked Towards Chi Feichei and Doctor Agasa who had returned from the Balcony, "Did we chat for too long?"
Haibara Ai also Notice that she had chatted for too long.
It was a very strange Feeling. Apart from her Older Sister, it was the First Time she could chat with someone so Investment, not feeling tired at all, and Seemingly looking forward to telling Chi Kana even trivial Small Matters.
"It's okay." Chi Feichei Turn Around and walked Outside, "But Time is almost up, don't delay the Staff from cleaning up. You can change Place to chat."
Chi Kana: "..."
Her Own Son's Personality was hopeless.
Haibara Ai: "..."
Awkward Silence Skill.
Doctor Agasa Nod smilingly, "Let's go Home earlier too, Madam Kana..."
"Just call me Kana," Chi Kana said.
"It's a little unaccustomed." Doctor Agasa scratched his head.
Chi Kana smiled and said, "Then you'll have to get used to it as soon as possible."
The four of them went to the Parking Lot. Chi Kana asked Vincent to drive them to send Doctor Agasa and Haibara Ai Home.
Things had only just been decided tonight, and she didn't want to be too overbearing and directly snatch people away from Doctor Agasa. Moreover, it would be best to formally visit tomorrow...
On the way back in the Car, Chi Kana confirmed the Time Arrangement with Chi Feichei, "I'll Call Doctor to confirm at 9:30 tomorrow morning. We'll go over at 11:00 a.m., have Dinner together, and then leave at 3:00 p.m. How does that sound?"
Chi Feichei Nodded, "I have no Problem with that, but I have to go Outside later."
His Old Mom had the Same habit as many British People, contacting to confirm before visiting, and saying in advance what Time they would arrive and what Time they would leave, so that the Master could be prepared.
"Are you still going Outside so late?" Chi Kana took out her Mobile Phone to Look at the Time, "It's almost 12 o'clock."
Chi Feichei Considered for a moment, "Do you want to come with me?"
"Sure," Chi Kana agreed without even Thinking, and teased, "You're not planning to take me to a Bar or Izakaya or something, are you?"
"I can Consider it in the future."
Chi Feichei reported the Machine Room Address to Vincent who was driving.
He didn't need to hide Sawada Hiroki's Matter from his Old Dad and Old Mom, and he couldn't hide it either. Umbrella's Plan needed his Old Dad and Old Mom to Cooperate, and he also needed a little Suggestion.
Along the way, Chi Feichei was deliberately Observing to confirm that no Car was Tracking them.
Vincent couldn't help but say, "Young Master, I'm paying attention, Don't Worry, no one is Tracking us."
"Uh-huh."
Chi Feichei responded and continued to secretly Observe.
He wasn't familiar with Vincent, so it was more reliable to Observe by Oneself.
...
Early Morning, 1:05.
Near the Machine Room in Jiangdong Ward, Vincent was asked to stay in the Original Place and wait.
Chi Feichei led Chi Kana into an Alley.
Vincent hesitated for a moment, then smiled wryly and continued to wait in the Car.
Young Master wouldn't let Madam encounter danger, he Seemingly was a bit Nerves.
Chi Kana felt that her Own Son was a bit Nerves.
Because Chi Feichei led her out of the Alley, turned two Street Corners, and entered another Alley, turned left and right, exited the Alley, and entered the next Alley again, all the while quietly paying attention to the Situation behind them...
Half an Hour later, they finally arrived at a two-story Commercial Office Building.
Then, checking whether the Door Lock had been touched, opening the Door, entering the Door, locking the Door, checking the Door Lock again before going to the Basement Machine Room, and checking the Adhesive Tape attached to the Door side, confirming that no one had entered, then opening the Door, entering the Door, locking the Door...
The Machine Room was brightly lit, and rows of Machines were still running.
Chi Kana Looked around. Seeing Chi Feichei fiddling with Projection, Camera and Loudspeaker and other Things, she walked to the long Table and sat down, "Can you tell Mother now? What do you want to do?"
"Wait a little longer..." Chi Feichei Adjusted the Camera and Projector Splitter, "Call your Father and ask him to go to the Computer. Let's talk about the New Consortium together."
Chi Kana Nodded, took out her Mobile Phone and made a Phone Call.
"Hello... Do you have a Computer next to you? We're going to talk about the New Consortium with Hassashi... Okay."
The Phone Call ended.
Chi Feichei Looked back, and continued to Adjust the Machine.
Such a familiar simple Call Style.
"He was just about to have Dinner, and there was a Computer next to him," Chi Kana explained, "He'll use UL Software's Video Call to talk to both of us."
"Okay, but this Family Meeting..." Chi Feichei connected the Camera and Projector Splitter, "There are four participating Members."
"Four Members?" Chi Kana was feeling Doubt when she See one of the Projections cast a beam of light, projecting a hazy Boy figure onto the Seat diagonally opposite her.
"Noah, log in to my Account, send a Video Invitation to my Father, and by the way, pay attention to the Camera Surveillance Camera Situation Outside." Chi Feichei said, continuing to Adjust several Cameras, so that Sawada Hiroki could See the Situation in the Machine Room, and then aimed another Projection at the Master Seat of the Table.
"Okay!" Sawada Hiroki responded obediently, fell silent for a moment, and another Projection lit up, projecting Chi Shinnosuke holding a Fast Food Box onto the Master Seat.
Chi Kana: "..."
There was such an operation?
Chi Feichei returned to his Seat and sat down, "The Projection Equipment is too poor."
"The Projection is very blurry," Sawada Hiroki Looked down at his Body, "I remember Thomas Said that Sindola Company once developed 3D Projection, but because the cost was too high, they gave up on releasing it halfway. We need to get Sindola Company as soon as possible. We don't need mass production, just use it to build a Conference Room."
"Hiroki? Or... Noah's Ark?" Chi Kana Looked at Sawada Hiroki's Projection, a little uncertain, "Didn't they say that you self-destructed Before? And the Machine at that Time..."
"I just withdrew from there, creating the Pretense of self-destruction. I am Hiroki..." Sawada Hiroki Observed Chi Kana from the Camera, hesitated for a moment, "Grandmother."
"Uh-huh," Chi Kana maintained a smile, "What are you planning to do? Shouldn't you explain?"
It wasn't wrong to call her that, but she still felt heartbroken.
She was already of Grandmother generation...
"Let me explain, this should be considered the Second Formal Family Meeting," Chi Feichei opened his mouth, "The First Time was to confirm the establishment of Umbrella Company and the Network Empire Blueprint Plan, initiated by my Father and hosted by my Father. This Time is initiated by me, so I will host it."
In the Machine Room where various Machines were placed, there was a long Table with six Seats.
Chi Shinnosuke was in the Master Seat in front, and Chi Feichei and Chi Kana were on the left and right hands respectively. Sawada Hiroki was next to Chi Feichei.
It didn't Look very Formal, but compared to the last Time when a Family of three chatted using a Computer, this Time had Projection and Camera, adding a bit of science fiction Feeling.
Of course, Chi Shinnosuke was still participating in front of the Computer, but being able to See his Video being Projected over, there was somewhat a Sense of intimacy of a Family sitting together.
Chi Shinnosuke Nodded, "Okay, you host."
Chi Kana smiled without saying a word, waiting for Chi Feichei to host the Meeting.
"My Mother Said that you Decided that the New Consortium would be named by me. The Name I Decided is still Umbrella," Chi Feichei continued, "Although it has not been Registered yet, today's Meeting will first discuss and Plan the Development of the New Consortium and the One Umbrella Covers the Sky Plan. In addition, there is a new Member in the Family besides Noah. This Matter will be announced by my Mother at the end."
Sawada Hiroki: "..."
Are the Family Meetings in Godfather's Home so Formal?
Looking... uh, he should call Grandpa and Grandma, looking at the way his Grandpa and Grandma Look, they were not surprised at all, and Looked like they were seriously Thinking and Nodding in satisfaction. It was Guess that the last Family Meeting was also like this...
"Let me formally introduce you, my Godson, Sawada Hiroki," Chi Feichei Looked Towards the Projection beside him, "As his Godfather, I should call his Christian Name 'Noah'. You all Know about Noah's previous Situation. Next, Noah will explain his current Situation."
Sawada Hiroki suddenly felt a little nervous, but Seeing Chi Feichei and Chi Shinnosuke who were calm throughout the whole process, he still followed suit and continued the tradition. He paused for a moment, and began to explain the Situation in a calm Tone.
Putting aside those professional terms, simply put, 'Noah' and 'Ark' can be separated, and at the Same Time, they are also closely connected individuals.
Noah is a Network Lifeform formed by the Fusion of Sawada Hiroki's Soul and Procedure, with emotions and desires, and with previous Memory and Thought.
Actually, it was just Sawada Hiroki changing his Method of Survival.
Ark is the Artificial Intelligence that Sawada Hiroki previously named Noah's Ark, similar to Koizumi Akako's Crystal Ball, just a Gadget.
Ark's Growth of one year is equivalent to Human Growth of five years, but it is only the learning Ability, computing Ability, and problem-solving Ability that are growing. It does not have Human emotions, and can only show corresponding Emotions based on the set calculation results.
It was Ark who invaded the Cocoon System and controlled the Game trend Before, and it was also Ark who said goodbye to Conan. The result was set by Sawada Hiroki, and Ark was responsible for Surveillance Camera and expression.
As for Sawada Hiroki Oneself, he replaced Hideki Morohoshi, who played a lonely Game, and followed Conan and his Group throughout the whole process, and by the way, remotely controlled Ark to help Conan increase the difficulty.
