Chapter 115 Li Jie's Suggestions

"The developer of Cocoon, Dr. Jiancun, was murdered. He left a message before his death. The clue to finding the murderer is the three letters 'JTR'."

Conan brought up this matter with the intention of changing the subject, but it was also the real purpose of this trip.

"What does JTR mean?"

Ayumi, Mitsuhiko, and Genta from the Boy Detective Team asked in confusion.

"Jack the Ripper!"

Conan explained to them: "This is a murderer in London in the past, and one of the five scenes in this cocoon game is London at that time."

Everyone suddenly realized that it was no wonder that Conan, who was not even good at rock-paper-scissors, would participate in this game for the first time in his life. It turned out that he wanted to find the murderer.

Li Jie knew the plot, but he was confused. Why was the development still the same as the original plot? Did HolyAngemon's intervention not bring about any changes?

Or is it that, like in the world of Tiga, some unusual changes have occurred?
While Li Jie was thinking, Conan asked, "Brother Li, how did you get in?"

He didn't see Li Jie at the press conference of Jian at all, but Li Jie appeared directly at the starting point of the game and was even able to display various super powers. This is not right.

This should be a virtual world, completely controlled by computers. How is it possible for someone to use superpowers here?
Li Jie pointed to the elevator at the back and said, "Take the elevator."

"..."

Conan was speechless, he thought it was a scene decoration.

That's not right. Even if it's not a decoration, it's virtual. How can it be used?
He looked around and found that the number of people present had reached fifty-one, which exceeded the number of cocoons. He asked, "Is this virtual world real?"

This conclusion is incredible.

But after eliminating all the impossibilities, whatever remains, no matter how incredible it is, is the truth.

Li Jie nodded: "Yes, this is a node leading to the digital world. I got here by another physical method."

"Digital world?" Conan was shocked.

He immediately turned on the switch on his glasses and activated their radar function.

Functionality works fine!

Logically speaking, in the virtual world, all of his high-tech equipment should be ineffective, but since the radar in the glasses can function normally, it means that this world is real.

At this moment, a halo appeared in the sky, and the halo made a voice: "Hello, children!"

"Hello there!"

Most of the children at the scene were of primary school or kindergarten age, and when they heard someone greet them, they politely responded.

The voice said again: "My name is Noah's Ark, please give me your guidance."

"Please advise!"

The children replied.

Li Jie looked at the halo in the sky and thought to himself, "This feeling... is a Digimon!"

Now that Noah's Ark has become a Digimon, he has the ability to interfere with reality and is no longer just an artificial intelligence moving in a virtual world.

Noah's Ark would not allow Dr. Jiancun to die easily, but Dr. Jiancun died anyway. It seems that some unknown accident really happened.

Noah's Ark continued to say to the players: "Next, I will play promotional videos of five games. Please choose the world you will play in."

At this point, he suddenly changed the subject: "But there is one thing you should pay attention to. This is not just a virtual game, but a game that concerns your life."

The tone was playful, but the words were definitely creepy.

Suddenly, his life was in danger!

"If everyone is out, you won't be able to return to the real world!

"As long as one person reaches the finish line, you win, and all the children who are eliminated before that can return to the real world.

"If you can't pass the level, all of you will stay here." This is the rule of the game, do you understand?
"This is a game where Japan's comeback is at stake!"

Noah's Ark announced the rules of the game, and his tone became more severe as time went on.

“The son of a dirty politician will only become a dirty politician;
“The son of a doctor who thinks only of making money will eventually become that kind of doctor;

"If you want to make Japan a better place, you must eliminate this connection once and for all!"

After hearing this, even though most of the people present were children, they felt that “this is not a joke” and fear instantly spread in everyone’s hearts.

"If everyone is out, then we are doomed."

"Why do we have to encounter such bad luck?"

"I didn't volunteer to be your father's child."

"I might not survive."

"Please, someone save me. I must survive."

The children did not hide their fear and expressed it directly, crying and shouting.

In an instant, the surroundings became a mess.

"Such a purge will not work if it is carried out once. I suggest that it be carried out once a year in the future, and the targets should not be limited to minors, but also adults in power."

When the last sentence came out, the whole audience fell silent.

Everyone looked at the source of the voice - Li Jie.

Li Jie, who looked to be in his twenties, was undoubtedly the oldest person present. His shocking words at this moment made him the focus of the entire audience.

Noah's Ark said: "Thank you, I will consider your suggestion carefully."

Conan and others looked at Li Jie in shock.

Li Jie waved his hand and said, "No need to thank me, I just provided a little help for your progress."

Conan, Mao Lilan, Haibara Ai and others thought that no one wanted to thank them.

Instead of calming the children's emotions at this time, saying these words is like telling them that "there is another exam after this exam", which is like adding fuel to the fire!
Conan said helplessly: "Your suggestion is a terrorist attack on future people."

Li Jie smiled and said, "You have to believe in the wisdom of future generations, Watson."

“…” Conan thought to himself that I was the Sherlock Holmes of the Heisei era.

Ran Mouri, Ai Haibara and others were speechless.

On the other side, Takuya Kanhara and others were equally helpless.

They thought it was just a virtual game and they could enjoy the game to their heart's content, but they didn't expect that the game was connected to the digital world.

They are not afraid because they have the spirit of a fighter.

The key is what to do with these children?
You know, the digital world is very dangerous.

Izumi Orimoto pointed at the elevators and said, "By the way, we can use those elevators to take the kids out!"

"good idea!"

Takuya Kanhara and others ran to the elevator and pressed the button.

However, the elevator door did not respond.

Noah's Ark said: "It's useless. All the exits here are blocked by me. You can only choose to participate in the game. Next, I will play five game trailers."

As soon as he finished speaking, five screens appeared above everyone, allowing all the children to see carefully.

Videos are played on five screens simultaneously. When one video is finished, another one will be played until all five game trailers are played.
