"I didn't expect Mr. Wakasa to have studied shogi."
Kuroki Jin was scrolling through his friend list, praying for a miracle, and was casually curious.
Rumi Wakasa said: "I am a shogi enthusiast. Aside from that, do you want to form a team and play the next game?"
"ah?"
"I suddenly discovered that this game is really interesting!"
Kuroki Ren: "..."
"No, I can't." Kuroki Jin waved his hand, "I still have something to do and I have to leave. Mr. Wakasa can play by himself."
He hurriedly added friends and ran away, fearing that he would be left to solve unchallenging puzzles.
Rumi Wakasa looked at the names of people on her friends list that were grayed out at the speed of light. She closed the interface but did not continue to crack the copy as she said. Instead, she looked at the gray sky and wondered what she was thinking.
She seemed to be talking to herself or to someone, and whispered: "I don't believe this is a coincidence."
With so many people matching at the same time, they happened to be matched with Kuroki Jin in the same round. The probability of such a coincidence happening is infinitely close to zero.
"It's really not a coincidence."
After leaving the game, Kuroki Jin stared at the game warehouse and touched its smooth surface: "Someone is deliberately asking me to meet her. Who is this Rumi Wakasa?"
There is no such person in his memory.
His doubt did not exist in his mind for long, and was soon replaced by another thing: the game received a major update!
A player has triggered a phased mission, and the game will receive a new version of the major update, during which the server will be closed for 24 hours.
Conan's emo during the day almost made Haihara Ai think that the organization was coming to kill him.
"It was Conan who triggered the mission?" Kuroki Ren received the information from Haibara Ai, and he couldn't help but sigh: "Conan is really a liver..."
He has to go to school during the day, go out with Mouri Kogoro and the others to solve crimes, and sometimes play with the boy detective team. This can advance the progress of solving crimes in the entire server to 25% of the triggering stage tasks. I can only say that he is too strong.
.
The sound of typing on the keyboard from Haihara Ai's side was probably researching drugs. She said, "Aren't you going to tell him that you are currently leading the development of this game?"
"Why tell him this? Is there any case he can't solve that he needs to ask me about?"
"The key is that I don't participate in the research of game content."
Haibara mourned: "If you tell him, maybe he can clear the level faster than he does now."
"No," Kuroki Ren said with an indifferent expression, "I still want the game to survive for a while longer."
If Conan really solves all the puzzles with great enthusiasm, then they won't be able to release new copies, and the company will be under great pressure.
The game was launched on time, and its popularity once again made it a high-profile event, followed by waves of discussions.
The reason is that a main mission is suddenly added to the game. Players have a probability of being matched with related tasks when performing random matches. As long as they are completed, they can accumulate progress fragments for the entire server. The last person to trigger the mission will automatically receive the last part of the main mission.
One link, but if it is not completed within three hours, it will be distributed to the entire server.
No one knew what the main mission was at the beginning. It wasn’t until a few hours later that someone posted a guide post after completing the matching mission that other players found out.
An underground force appeared during the mission. They are mysterious and powerful. They like to frequently create cases for unknown purposes. Most of the cases in the game are the result of their artificial induction or participation in the arrangement. The player who sent the guide finally replied to the other party.
After he cracked the case, he warned him that if he ruined their plan next time, he would be attacked.
This greatly aroused the players' desire to win, so most of the players who originally just played casually or treated the game as a real-life scenario with their friends started random matching, striving to be matched into the main mission dungeon.
Among them, Conan was more motivated. He always felt that the background of this story was particularly suitable for his current life, so he got into the game wholeheartedly and worked hard to contribute to the progress of the main mission.
A few days later, a lucky guy was killed by a mysterious force in the dungeon, which pushed the matter to a climax.
The person involved responded online: It doesn’t feel like being killed. The screen goes black and there is a text telling you that you are dead, and then you return to the face-squeezing interface.
He thought this was an opportunity to rebuild his character model, so he happily entered the game and found that all the times he had cleared the previous dungeons were cleared.
In the face of public doubts, the game company issued a theme statement of "cherishing life, whether real or virtual", which can be regarded as suppressing the enthusiasm of some players.
After all, no one wants their records that have been played for a long time to be cleared. According to the details revealed by several people who have been matched to the main mission, the case there is still somewhat difficult.
At the end of October, the temperature in Tokyo gradually dropped. Kuroki Ren put on the organization's usual black windbreaker. After being complained about by Haibara Ai several times, he changed into a dark brown one. He had to lament that the organization's choice of clothes was still a bit awkward.
Practical, compared to Xia Tian's nowhere to hide weapons, he can even hide a sniper rifle under his windbreaker.
Of course, he didn't really hide it. After all, a sniper rifle is inconvenient to use and easy to expose, and it is not as convenient as a pistol.
The candy house closed down and the organization had nothing to do for the time being, so he became somewhat free.
As soon as people are free, they start to find things for themselves to do - such as the two people who are still alive in the Seven Deadly Sins right now.
"It's so annoying." Kuroki Ren looked at the light spots on the screen, "I finally found you, and you ran so far."
The light spot is located on a small island, hanging alone in the sea. Because it is far away from the nearest surrounding islands, tourism cannot develop, so it was a deserted island many years ago.
If Kuroki Jin has gained something besides a cocoon from being tortured, it is that the criminal organization Seven Deadly Sins is now under his sole authority.
The processing method of Kuroki is very simple:
"Gin, can you make some extra money?"
…
But there must be clues in everything you do.
Kuroki Jin was able to find the remaining two people of the Seven Deadly Sins through various means. They must have done something to expose themselves.
"CS competition?"
Gin pulled away the gaudy leaflet in his hand, which somewhat tainted his eyes.
"The developer of that desert island first promoted it to groups who like CS. After voluntary registration, they shortlisted the list and sent out invitations. They also cooperated with some stores to issue lottery tickets. The winners could not only participate in the competition but also have travel expenses included.
and room and board.”
Gin asked: "Do you think this CS competition is caused by arrogance?"
Kuroki Ren raised a smile, but his eyes were cold and stern: "Such a coincidental time, it makes no sense that it is just an accident."
