Chapter 916 The target appears

"Xiao Xun has been discharged from the hospital. Although she looked very weak in front of the media and the company. But we went to visit her and she was actually alive and kicking. She also confirmed the wedding date with Mr. Ma Xiong... Although the process was a bit scary, it was considered A blessing in disguise.”

Yoko Kinoshita remembered what happened yesterday and helped her teammates to report to Jiang Xia that they were safe. External reports basically did not mention Kaoru Kusano's physical condition. They only mentioned it in terms such as "looking haggard" and "life after death". word. Yoko Kinoshita didn't want this enthusiastic little detective to worry too much.

Jiang Xia nodded.

He suddenly remembered something and took out the egg-shaped badge from Kaoru Kusano from his pocket: "This is the experience badge Miss Kusano gave me yesterday - since you came here for her, shouldn't you come and participate?"

Yoko Kinoshita smiled and shook his head:

"Xiao Xun and I are different - the age requirements for the fifty experience participants this time are 'high school students and below'. Xiao Xun has just grown up and looks very young, so there is nothing wrong with going in to experience it together. But what I said …”

She gathered up her chestnut wavy hair: "I'm afraid I need to completely change my hairstyle first. The image is too different from usual, and it's weird to be mixed in a group of children... Anyway, this time, the game experience screen will not be released to the public, only Being able to describe it orally, I watched it in the movie theater, and my field of vision became more comprehensive. It just so happens that I’m not very good at playing games.”

"Speaking of this..." Yoko Kinoshita smiled and winked at him, "I heard that among the several game modes given this time, there is a 'detective' game - you have always been very good at games, no? Go in and try, it’s such a shame.”

 …

As he was talking, there was a sudden commotion outside the building, and the shutter clicked like a tidal wave. The media squatting on both sides of the red carpet suddenly became active, as if they were waiting for some big shot.

Jiang Xia and Kinoshita Yoko were startled and turned to look outside the house.

I saw a foreign man walking along the red carpet to the lobby of the Municipal Center.

The man is tall and burly, wearing a high-cut suit that fits his figure, and has an authentic European and American appearance. His chin is raised proudly and his steps are steady.

Yoko Kinoshita glanced twice through the spacious floor-to-ceiling windows and quickly recognized it: "This is President Thomas Sindora... he is so powerful."

Jiang Xia carefully looked at President Sindola and the secretary who entered the hall after him, and kept his curiosity about them to the limit of a normal melon-eater.

 …

Syndora, his assistant and his bodyguards quickly passed by the hall and entered the office area.

Outside the door, the introduction voice of a reporter from TMS floated in: "According to the information released in advance by the game manufacturer, this holographic game called "Cocoon" can put players in the game cabin into a hypnotic state and have voice recognition. system's game dialogue and enjoy traveling in the virtual world.

“—It brings together the world’s top technological essences. Unfortunately, the specific game content is not disclosed to the public, but today, fifty lucky people will be selected to experience the game. Let’s look forward to their comments!”

 …The essence of the most cutting-edge technology.

Is it really the essence of “technology”?

Jiang Xia turned around and stopped for a moment at the security checkpoint and the surveillance camera in the corner.

　　　…”After entering the door, there is always a strange feeling. Especially if you're too close to the pre-installed electronics in the lobby...

Jiang Xia looked thoughtfully at the instruments, and then at the ghosts floating around him, trying to find murderous intent.

 …

 Mihua Civic Center.

 On the passage on the other side.

The Maori father and daughter also brought the young detective team to this grand press conference. They came earlier than Jiangxia.

—Suzuki Consortium is also one of the investors in this game. Therefore, Suzuki Sonoko can invite many people in.

 …

The Maori father and daughter took their five children, and a group of seven people walked through the corridor, intending to go to the banquet hall and meet Suzuki Sonoko.

On the way, a few people accidentally glanced aside and saw the "cocoon" experience hall below through the glass windows in the corridor. —On the stage in front of the hall, there are fifty egg-shaped game capsules. Many workers are walking back and forth, debugging equipment. Outside the game cabin is a circle of elevated viewing seats, separated by a detection device.

 …

Yuantai glanced at it and couldn't help but lie on the window with envy:

“That’s the ‘Cocoon’, I really want to go in and try it.”

Mitsuhiko was also envious, but considering that there were two beauties standing next to him, he did not stick to the window like Yuanta, but gracefully took a step away to watch.

At the same time, he inevitably sighed sadly: "Don't think about it, we are not qualified to experience it - there are only fifty places in the world."

Haihara Ai rarely has the same interests as several children.

 She remembered the content in the brochure, looked at the "cocoon" and sighed softly:

“It’s really fun to recreate historical events in the game. Coupled with this unique holographic experience... it’s like a fascinating time travel.”

Beside him, Conan folded his hands and gave her a disapproving look: He couldn't go anyway, so the better he talked about the game now, wouldn't it make the children more greedy?

With this in mind, he comforted his friends:

 “It’s just a game, nothing fun. Watch the movie a few more times and you’ll make up for it.”

　　　…”

Haiyuan Ai's forehead jumped, but he vaguely understood Conan's intention and said nothing.

 But the other three children didn’t think much about it. I only tasted it literally, and immediately felt that I had been ridiculed.

Genta snorted: "Conan, it's better not to talk to us about games—you haven't even finished "Space Dragon Quest" yet."

Mitsuhiko smiled and finished his last strike: "Speaking of this game, the day before yesterday my three-year-old cousin stepped on it randomly and accidentally cleared the level."

Ayumi still likes Conan a little bit in her heart, and secretly helped to smooth things over: "There is no way, Conan's mind is too smart, so God closed a window for him, and his hands became very inflexible!"

 Conan: “…”

These naughty kids just keep talking, why are they suddenly physically attacking them!

Just as he was thinking about it, a figure flashed in his peripheral vision.

 Someone is passing by the corner ahead.

Conan saw the man clearly, his eyes lit up, he waved his hand and said hello loudly on purpose: "Brother Jiang Xia!"

 Yunta, Ayumi, Mitsuhiko: "!"

The three children froze, and the rest of the taunts they had not had time to express were silently swallowed back in their stomachs.

　　　…" If you want to put it bluntly, although they are fighting back against Conan, they are still "bullying the few with more".

If brother Jiang Xia, who likes fishing and knocking people out, hears it, he will seize this point and make a big fuss...

 The corridor instantly became quiet.

Haiyuan Ai looked at Conan, her eyes stretched into half-moons: "..." The despicable fake child actually used Jiang Xia as a suppressing talisman...
