"Thank you for clearing the game! You saved our child!"
"Many thanks."
Countless voices expressing gratitude and complicated faces came from all directions, which made Qin Zhibo's eardrums hurt for a while.
In addition, the brain fatigue caused by the game and the mental fatigue from looking directly at the gods have not been eliminated, and these negative effects returned to the brain at this moment.
Unable to respond in time, Qin Zhibo's eyes darkened and he fainted again.
When he opened his eyes again, Qin Zhibo was in a tidy ward.
My nose twitched, and the smell in the air was not the usual disinfectant smell in hospitals, but the refreshing fragrance of flowers.
Qin Zhibo slightly raised his upper body and looked around, and found that there were countless flower baskets surrounding his hospital bed twice.
These flowers are red, yellow, and mostly white, and there are elegiac couplets hanging on them.
Lying in it, it feels like you are in a field of flowers, and you simply can't extricate yourself.
At first glance, this looks like a farewell to a body.
Qin Zhibo took a closer look and discovered that these "elegiac couplets" were not meant to send off the body, but to wish the patient well.
[Wish you a speedy recovery——Shio Morohoshi]
[Overcome the disease and return to health - with the help of Jiang Shouzhe]
[The moon is bright now, and flowers are blooming again - Kikukawa Mansai]
No wonder these flower baskets are so luxurious. It turns out they are all gifts from Japan's upper class elites.
One of the important reasons for sending these flower baskets is to show the thoughtful etiquette of upper class people.
Just then, there was a noise at the door.
"Really, why would it be so troublesome for you to have a physical examination?"
"But I feel good now, I have never felt so good~"
"Sister Xiaolan, I think it's better to check it out. Maybe that game will stimulate the brain and leave some sequelae."
"I'm an adult now. If there are any side effects, Conan should check it out, right?"
The ward door was pushed open, and Mouri Kogoro walked in, followed by Maori Lan and Conan.
"Mr. Qin, you're awake!"
Mao Lilan was pleasantly surprised, "Great! I'm going to call Dr. Chengshi now!"
With that said, Mao Lilan ran out the door.
Come true?
Is this a private hospital where Aso is established, not a public hospital?
Qin Zhibo turned to look at Mouri Kogoro and asked, "Did I sleep for a long time?"
Mouri Kogoro put his hands in his pockets and nodded, "Of course, you've been sleeping for two days."
"The doctor said your brain is overtired and you should just take a rest."
"But no one expected that you slept for such a long time."
When Qin Zhibo touched his forehead, even he did not expect that the side effects would be so severe this time.
Spend a lot of brainpower to operate the character and become a five-star good citizen of London
Stare directly at the gods and fight the two-color "signal".
These two items are mentally draining that ordinary people cannot resist.
When I opened my character card, my willpower was restored to 90 through sleep.
At this moment, Chengshi ran into the ward and threw herself into Qin Zhibo's arms.
"Woo~~"
"Aren't you allowed to exercise strenuously? Why?"
Looking at Chengshi with a ponytail in his arms, Qin Zhibo was a little overwhelmed for a moment and could only whisper comfort.
"It doesn't matter. I'm awake now, right?"
"And that kind of game isn't considered a sport."
Cheng Shi raised his head and gasped, "But, but."
Qin Zhibo looked at Chu Chu's pitiful Cheng Shi, and couldn't help feeling that this little brother's worried appearance was really heartbreaking.
If they didn't know their true gender, it would be easy for most people to lose control.
In fact, Chengshi was crying at this time for a reason.
Cheng Shi first came into contact with this matter. He only saw on TV reports that there was an AI hostage-taking incident at the Cocoon game conference, and that people would be killed if they did not pass the level.
But he never expected that Mao Lilan called later and said that one of the people was Qin Zhibo and asked him to come to the hospital quickly.
When they arrived at the hospital, they learned that everyone had been rescued, except Qin Zhibo who had fainted again.
After a series of physical examinations at a large hospital, no abnormal indicators were found. It was just that the brain was too tired and automatically entered a resting state.
Simply put, just take a nap and you'll be fine.
Therefore, Chengshi volunteered to take Qin Zhibo to his hospital for care.
Unexpectedly, I slept for two days.
How can you not be anxious when you see your most important person lying in bed but not waking up?
After comforting Aso, Qin Zhibo talked with Kogoro Mori next to him about the events on the day of the press conference to find out what he didn't know.
In the real world during the game, a series of murders occurred.
The first is the murder of Tadahina Kashimura, which happened when the player entered the game venue.
Because Qin Zhibo was worried about his death, he was the first to enter the cocoon and missed the investigation of this case.
But later Qin Zhibo learned about this from Conan in the game.
The second thing is that Chairman Sindora was killed in the game control room.
Mouri Kogoro explained in detail to Qin Zhibo how the case was discovered, as well as Kudo Yusaku's reasoning for the two cases.
The murderer was an internal employee of Sindora Company. The purpose of killing Kashimura first was to release a computer virus without anyone noticing.
The subsequent killing of Chairman Sindora must have been planned in advance, otherwise the murder weapon would not have been brought back to the game control room.
"It's a pity that the group escaped very quickly and seemed to have planned their escape route in advance."
"I heard from Officer Megure that the Japanese police are negotiating with the United States, and they should jointly handle this case later."
Qin Zhibo nodded, understanding.
Afterwards, Qin Zhibo communicated with Mao Lilan and Conan about the things in the game.
The memory of the two of them in the game ended abruptly when Mao Lilan fainted. After that, the two of them experienced darkness and suddenly returned to reality.
Mao Lilan and Conan did not remember the appearance of the King in Yellow, or they did not see it at all.
"Xiaolan, how do you feel now?"
Mao Lilan was startled. Why was she suddenly concerned about the patient?
But she still replied: "It feels good~"
"Really?" Qin Zhibo further hinted, "How is your sleeping situation? Do you have nightmares or something like that?"
When it comes to sleeping problems, Mao Lilan's face lights up, "These two nights have been the best sleep quality I've had in a while!"
"I didn't expect that game to improve sleep quality~"
Mao Lilan's words shocked Mao Li Kogoro, and he quickly corrected: "No, no, that thing is too dangerous."
Mao Lilan rolled her eyes at her old father and joked: "Even if you want to play again now, it's impossible, right?"
After experiencing this large-scale security incident, the dangers of next-generation games like "Cocoon" have been fully realized.
The future is good, but the price of life is higher.
"Cocoon" related products have been listed as contraband in many developed countries, and there is no possibility of unblocking them in the future.
The huge expenditure on this project could not recover the cost, but instead caused Sindora Company to have extremely bad effects around the world.
Regardless of whether the case is finally solved or not, the huge IT empire of Sindora Company will inevitably collapse as a result.
Of course, as the project went bankrupt, the Bank of Japan and the Suzuki Consortium, both Japanese investors, also lost their money.
For the Suzuki Foundation, it doesn't matter if the money is lost, it is just a few purchases made by the Suzuki family.
But for the Bank of Japan, it is not a trivial matter to not only get no return on the money invested, but also to lose all the principal.
Because the investment money of the bank is not the banker's own money after all.
Qin Zhibo also breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Mao Lilan had regained her former energy, especially her sleep condition had improved.
Under the summons of the destiny coin, the projection of the King in Yellow appeared from the dream that troubled Mao Lilan and materialized in the game world.
This actually helped Mao Lilan get rid of the trouble of the King in Yellow, and also successfully blocked the "green signal".
This kind of good luck that kills two birds with one stone is Mao Lilan's 90% luck.
But in other words, for the King in Yellow, the "green signal" is an existence that attracts him more than Mao Lilan.
What on earth is that?
And that thing finally kidnapped Hiroki Sawada.
Thinking of this, Qin Zhibo took a look at the main mission.
The rewards for this main mission are very generous, which shows that this mission is not simple.
Moreover, the time requirement is relatively generous, and the time limit is this week.
In system time, there are more than seven days in a week.
In other words, I have enough time to plan this matter.
The first step is to try to find the "green signal".
"Green signals" will appear from time to time in any media that displays images and sounds such as the Internet, radio and television, and the source cannot be traced.
It is not easy to find "green signals", but according to information revealed by Hiroki Sawada, someone is creating software that actively captures "green signals".
Itakura Taku.
Qin Zhibo still remembers this person's name.
Looks like we need to find him as soon as possible
After the visiting Maori family left, Qin Zhibo expressed to Chengshi that he wanted to be discharged from the hospital immediately.
As expected, he was rejected by Chengshi.
The reason is that he has just woken up and needs some time to rest.
In the end, Qin Zhibo argued that the detective agency needed someone to take care of him, so he managed to be discharged from the hospital tomorrow at the earliest.
A night of silence.
The next day, Qin Zhibo left Chengshi Hospital despite Chengshi's repeated instructions and returned to the Zhibo Detective Agency where he had been away for several days.
The office is still the same as when we left, no changes.
It seems that Toru Amuro did not return to the office during his absence.
Moreover, this guy never visited me in the hospital, and seemed to have completely disappeared from the world.
Logically speaking, this incident caused a stir in the city, and it is impossible for Toru Amuro, a Japanese police officer, not to know any news.
But this guy didn't show up.
What a heartless guy.
Qin Zhibo came to his desk, turned on his computer, and logged into the Noah's Ark knowledge website.
[Total knowledge entries:********]
[Updated knowledge entries yesterday: 0]
This knowledge website was built by Hiroki Sawada when he was doing deep learning. The number of entries updated every day is equivalent to the progress of deep learning.
In fact, in terms of the growth rate of entries alone, Noah's Ark learned knowledge at a rate that is five times faster than that of humans.
This was originally a secret in the industry and only a few people knew it.
But since the incident of Noah's Ark kidnapping humans, the existence of the Noah's Ark knowledge website has also been completely exposed.
Checking the historical records, you can find that since the cocoon incident, the number of updated entries has been 0.
Because of this, there are widespread rumors that Noah's Ark self-destructed as the game was cleared.
Just like in many film and television works, after the brave man defeats the devil, the devil's cave will collapse.
This ending is very "pleasant".
Although the police, with the help of Yusaku Kudo, investigated and found that someone used a computer virus to modify the game, Noah's Ark just wanted to help mankind.
However, all clues are unclear at present, and it is extremely difficult to handle cross-border cases. It is also difficult to convince the public that someone released a computer virus.
Once the real mastermind cannot be caught for a long time, the negative impression of the Japanese police on the incompetence of the Japanese police will be deepened again.
Therefore, most senior officials of the Japanese police believe that this incident has a great impact and the case can be handled slowly, but the top priority is to find a person to take the blame.
Who will take the blame?
There is no doubt that an illusory AI is the most suitable one to take the blame.
It's all AI's fault!
Therefore, in the current perception of the general public in Japan, Noah's Ark is the culprit, because that is how the news reports it.
Even the few people who know the truth, such as Maori Kogoro and Maori Lan, have been issued silence orders.
This cruel reality of society makes Qin Zhibo feel a little sad.
Qin Zhibo clicked on the search box and entered Itakura Taku's name into it.
Since Sawada Hiroki mentioned this person, he should also leave some clues for himself.
Sure enough, after clicking search, an accurate noun entry popped up.
——
Itakura Taku, who worked as a film CG special effects producer in his early years, is very famous in the industry.
In recent years, due to vision problems, he has gradually faded out of the film and television special effects circle and became a freelance computer game system engineer.
Due to his excellent level of special effects production, Taku Itakura has friendships with many people in the film and television industry.
He has collaborated with the famous late director and movie star in Japan, Director Sakemaki.
There are even internationally renowned Hollywood actresses, such as Oscar-winning actress Sharon Wynyard.
——
Qin Zhibo was a little surprised when he saw the last line of information.
Sharon Wynyard, isn't she Belmode?
Could this matter have something to do with the black organization?
