Conan: Start with three choices, but sequence potion

Chapter 160 Gin's Trip to Tingen

Gin was always wary of this weirdo who kept talking about faith. At the same time, he slowly backed away and approached a dark corridor, wanting to leave this narrow space that did not give him any sense of security.

Unexpectedly, the fortune teller did not stop him, but just looked at him deeply.

"If you want to leave, don't worry, I won't stop you. The great sun god never forces the lambs to offer their faith."

"But." He suddenly smiled faintly, "Believe me, you will come back."

Gin vaguely saw countless different faces in his ordinary and plain appearance.

Without hesitation, he turned and ran.

The corridor was not long, but it had many turns, so the light could not shine into the secret room. Gin quickly walked out of the underground along the somewhat gentle slope.

It was already evening outside. The sun had disappeared, and a blood-red crescent moon hung in the clouds, half visible and half hidden under the dark clouds.

The surrounding area is full of high-rise buildings, tarmac roads and reinforced concrete, revealing the modern era background.

Gin turned around and saw a medieval church that covered a large area and had a very retro architectural style.

Above the church door is a mysterious emblem composed of a pupilless eye and twisted lines.

Everyone who sees this emblem will instinctively have a cognition in their heart——

The Church of Fools.

This way of transmitting information that transcends reality left Gin silent for a while.

Then he discovered something.

The corridor that he came out of disappeared at some point, and the gap leading to the underground secret room could no longer be seen.

"Hello." A call suddenly came from behind. Gin turned around and saw a middle-aged man with a mustache.

"You should be a 'player' too, right?" Kogoro Maori looked at the man with strange silver hair. He originally thought that he would be another NPC, but after observing for a while, he still felt that this man was more like a "player" who had just arrived in this strange world like himself.

Gin didn't respond rashly. He just looked at the uncle calmly, wanting to see what this guy wanted to do.

"This place is pretty big, and the people we know who came in are all scattered. It's pretty inefficient to just go in there alone."

Maori Kogoro first complained about the entry mechanism of the "Metaverse", and then expressed his thoughts: "It's not easy to meet a player, why not explore together?"

"By the way, you should recognize me, right? Haha, I'm the famous detective Maori Kogoro. You can just call me Maori. With me here, I can definitely lead you to find some useful clues quickly."

The confused uncle laughed with his tongue sticking out.

Gin searched the information in his mind and finally found with regret that he had no impression of this so-called "famous detective".

He was on missions every day, and apart from paying attention to the news about Redemption Rose, how could he have the time to learn about such an entertaining creature as the "famous detective"?

However, Gin is not opposed to the idea of traveling together.

After all, Vodka is not here, so he cannot do many things that require risky actions personally. It would be much easier for him to do things with a "pioneer".

"Kurosawa Jin." After thinking for a while, he lightly uttered a pseudonym that he often used.

"That's settled, Kurosawa." Mouri Kogoro nodded with satisfaction, and then seeing Gin looking at the church, he said, "I've explored it before you. The Church of Fools is one of the orthodox churches here, and today is Saturday, so there are no masses or worship services in the church." "What else do you know?" Gin realized another value of Mouri Kogoro. This guy seemed to have entered the metaverse earlier than him and had made more progress in exploring the place.

"Not much, actually." Maori Kogoro said that he didn't know everything, "but I just talked to an old lady who was exercising on the roadside and learned some common sense."

"First of all, the geography. This continent has the Kingdom of Loen, the Republic of Intis, the Feysac Empire, the Kingdom of Feyneport, and some small countries of all sizes. We are in the Kingdom of Loen, and this city is Tingen, which is known as the 'University City'."

He pointed and said, "There are three major churches here. They are the Church of Fools located on Narcissus Street in the commercial center, the Crimson Church in the old city in the southwest, and the Church of the Knower in the northern industrial zone."

"I didn't get any more information out of her. The lady ran away after getting annoyed by the questions."

Kogoro Maori shook his head helplessly.

Gin looked at the vehicles passing by on the roadside, recalled the underground secret room that had just mysteriously disappeared, and gained a preliminary understanding of this metaverse world in his heart.

A "new world" that integrates theology and technological development.

When he heard about the existence of the three major orthodox churches, he realized what the so-called "Sun God" that the fortune teller believed in was.

Undoubtedly an evil god.

And the Aurora Society is obviously a secret organization that believes in evil gods.

It is the right choice to be vigilant and stay away from it.

Gin needs to see more "new things" in this world.

The two hailed a taxi on the roadside. Fortunately, when the "Cocoon" was connected to the Metaverse, it did not forget to scan the things they were carrying, and considerately exchanged the Japanese yen into the currency of Loen. During the communication, it also translated the "Loen language" of the local residents into Japanese that they could understand.

After the two got in the car, the driver rubbed his thumb and index finger together in front of his chin as if he was greeting them in daily life, and murmured, "Praise the fool."

Then he smiled and asked, "You two are not locals, right?"

Gin remained silent cautiously, while the more talkative Maori Kogoro acted as the person with whom he communicated.

"Yeah, how did you know that?" he asked curiously.

The driver groaned and turned the steering wheel: "Tinggen is a local believer of the great Mr. Fool. How could he go to church on Saturday?"

"Although I drive a taxi, most of the orders now are online ride-hailing orders. Few people stop the car on the road. If I didn't happen to have an empty order, I wouldn't stop to pick you up."

"Are you from Feysac? I heard that the people there are very resistant to online reforms and still insist on using cash."

Kogoro Mori could only laugh it off and brush off the topic.

Fortunately, the driver was not the talkative type, so there was not much other communication along the way.

Soon, the two were sent to the Tingen River, which is the boundary between the old town and the central city.

"That's two soli and five pence."

Seeing that Gin had no intention of moving, Kogoro Mouri took out his wallet, feeling a little annoyed that this man looked respectable but was actually extremely stingy.

"May wealth favor you." After receiving the money, the driver rubbed his fingers in front of his chin again with a sincere smile, and then drove away.
