People are in Conan, but Ace Attorney

Chapter 513 Good News

The London in the Cocoon game is not the London in "The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes", and the Sherlock Holmes in it is not the normal Sherlock Holmes, so even the plot will change differently.

For example, the script of "The Hound of the Baskervilles" is very different from the events of the original "The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes" because it is a special setting in the game script that acts like a background board.

Xiang Yuanguang has a poor memory, so it is impossible for him to repeat the entire text of "Great Ace Attorney". At most, he mentioned the character settings and general plot to Kudo Yusaku.

After careful consideration, Kudo Yusaku decided to use the plot of Great Ace Attorney as the background for the game's script, with two lines advancing in parallel. Not only will [Ryunosuke Naruhodō] and [Sherlock Holmes] be able to assist players in completing game objectives, but the investigation of [The Hound of the Baskervilles] will also be used to temporarily allow characters to leave the plot to increase the difficulty.

But if Cocoon Game completely abandons the main plot of investigating Jack the Ripper, and instead uses the story of the Hound of the Baskervilles as the background as the main thread of the game, then it is likely that someone has taken the initiative to modify the game script.

Yusaku Kudo believes that the person who modified the game script, was extremely sensitive to the name Jack the Ripper, and even did not allow it to appear in the game is most likely Thomas Sindra, the chairman of Sindra Corporation.

However, this was just his intuition, and he couldn't guarantee the reality. After all, as one of the creators of the game script, he only received an invitation to watch the game's public beta test, but not an invitation to the game's internal beta test.

Therefore, Kudo Yusaku actually knew nothing about the actual situation of the internal test, just like Xiang Yuanguang. If Housheng Reito had not come to remind him, he probably would not even know that the game script might have been modified.

"From this perspective, it is highly likely that Thomas Sindra has already noticed that someone is investigating Hiroki Sawada's death. Mr. Xiang Yuan, I'm afraid your plan cannot be realized."

Kudo Yusaku then said that although Xiang Yuanguang did not say it directly, his plan was obvious at a glance. It was nothing more than stopping Thomas Sindora from killing people and capturing him on the spot.

If Thomas Sindora had already noticed that someone was trying to target him, he would most likely not have taken the great risk of killing Kashimura Tadaki at the public beta of the Cocoon game, and Xiang Yuanguang's plan would have failed.

However, even though he knew that this possibility that was unfavorable to him had a high probability of coming true, Xiang Yuanguang's expression did not change. He just lowered his voice and spoke.

"It will work."

The atmosphere became tense. Seeing the situation over there, Conan was full of confusion, because the Kudo couple simply asked him to take leave and come back, and didn't say anything else.

If he hadn't mentioned the game script to Yuan Guang explicitly, he wouldn't even know that the script for the Cocoon game was written by his father, Kudo Yusaku...

Conan looked at the conversation between Kudo Yusaku and Mukai Genmiko with a frown on his face, and then looked at Koshimizu Nanatsuki.

The female detective seems to have not discovered his true identity yet, but think about it, how can a normal person believe that rejuvenation exists in the real world? If he hadn't experienced it himself, he wouldn't believe it!
"...A game script? Hmm, so that's how it is."

At this time, the female detective had already gathered with Kudo Yukiko to chat about the incident. Although he didn't know why, it felt like a girls' tea party, as if he was the only outsider.

(What the hell is this? Cocoon Games, Sindorah Company, invitation letter...)
Conan sighed, feeling quite desolate. Fortunately, Sonoko came to visit the office yesterday and mentioned the invitation letter and the cocoon game, otherwise he might not even know what the cocoon game is now.

It's really annoying that these adults always exclude him...

The Death Elementary School Student's expression changed. Oh no, I've been an elementary school student for so long that I really think of myself as an elementary school student!
Just when Conan was still worrying and feeling sorry for himself, Kudo Yusaku and Xiang Yuanguang turned their heads at the same time. They stared at Conan and discussed something in a low voice.

"Do you think Conan can crack the modified London game? I think it's difficult. It seems that Thomas Sindra added some information. Even if he knows the original script, he can't crack it."

"Shinichi will be fine, because he is my son. Ever since he said in Hawaii that he wanted to become a world-class detective like Sherlock Holmes, I knew that he was definitely not an ordinary detective who would be bound by common sense." "...Mr. Kudo, do you think I am suitable for special training in Hawaii? I think I can also try to become a world-class detective... ahem, anyway, let me ask my friend if he is confident before talking about this."

"Indeed, if Thomas Sindra can modify the game script, he may be able to control the artificial intelligence Noah's Ark. It will be very troublesome if he takes hostages."

Conan suddenly felt a chill on his back. He turned his head sharply to look at the position of Kudo Yusaku and Xiang Yuanguang, but saw that the two of them continued the previous topic as usual, as if the whispers just now were just his hallucination.

The Death Elementary School Student turned his head back and quietly took off his red bow.

As an all-round detective who has studied in Hawaii, he is no different from Superman except that he cannot fly. Since his father and hedgehog friend are hiding things from him, he asks Dr. Agasa for help and investigates it himself!

"Dr. Agasa... I have something I want you to investigate..."

Dr. Agasa, who was far away in the research institute, blinked and then whispered into the communicator.

"I don't know what the Sindor Company Noah's Ark Cocoon Game is. You should ask your hedgehog friend, Shinichi."

...I haven't even opened my mouth to ask what you want to check, but you've already told me everything. Do you really not know?
Conan's face darkened involuntarily. It seemed that now he could only wait for his father to finish talking to the hedgehog and tell him.

Drop, drop, drop.

The phone rang, and Conan could tell it was Xiang Yuanguang's call tone. He turned his head and looked at Xiang Yuanguang who picked up the phone and put it to his ear, wondering who the other party was calling.

"…Are you sure Noah's Ark is not controlled by Thomas Sindorra?"

Asked Yuan Guang.

"Ah? You stole the DNA tracking technology? Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

Far away on the other side of Beika Town, Hosou Reito typed some code and replied unhappily.

"You didn't ask. This thing is very secretive. I thought it was the core code, but it turned out to be something like this. The guy changed the firewall code after realizing that the data was stolen."

"If I had found the core code of Noah's Ark when I hacked into the firewall the first time, I wouldn't have made a bet with him on clearing the game, and Noah's Ark should have been renamed "Dream Thunder" long ago."

"Oh, by the way, [Dream] is the name I prepared for my future game company. What do you think of it?"

...This name sounds a bit dangerous.

Xiang Yuanguang touched his chin. Since Housheng Reito had already said so, the change in the plot was most likely not related to Thomas Sindora. Perhaps the tactic of obtaining more favorable information through Noah's Ark could be implemented.

Then, June 9th was the last day that Thomas Sindra could breathe freely in this world.
