I'm in Detective Conan, and the system has appointed Batman.

Chapter 429 Dr. Agasa, the New Company's Chief Technology Officer and President
"Chen En, has Noah's Ark really self-destructed like this?"

"I always felt that things weren't that simple. After all, it was a truly groundbreaking super artificial intelligence. It's so hard to believe that it could appear so easily and be destroyed so just as easily."

Professor Agasa closed the forum interface he had just opened, checked the empty private file, and sighed.

He really wanted to see what the core code of Noah's Ark looked like, but it seemed he wouldn't have the chance now. So, he stood up, about to invite Chen En to go to the hall, when he heard Chen En ask...

"Interested in working for my company? You fill in the salary; as long as I can afford it, I'll pay whatever you name it."

"I'd like to invite you to become the CTO and president of the new company I'm about to establish. After all, if your relationship with Fusa is to be made public in the future, you'll at least need a respectable position."

—In DC Comics, the technical director and president of Wayne Enterprises refers to Lucius Fox.

This technical director is arguably one of Batman's indispensable assistants, having developed various advanced technologies to help Batman fight supervillains. Chen En has long referred to Professor Agasa as "Lucius," and now is the time to pay the price.

Upon hearing this, Dr. Agasa looked somewhat shocked and said,

"Oh, you're starting a company?"

Chen En: ?
Did you only find out now that I'm starting a company?

Chen En's gaze remained fixed on Professor Agasa, who, realizing he couldn't fool him any longer, coughed twice and said somewhat apologetically,

"But I don't know how to handle administrative tasks, how can I be a CEO?"

"Then just give it a nominal title, I'll handle the rest."

"Uh, I'm used to being free and independent, and I'm not really comfortable staying at the office..."

"There are no restrictions on the scope of your work. You can conduct research and development anytime and anywhere, and you will still be paid."

"Then... shall I... give it a try?"

Upon hearing Professor Agasa's words, Chen En gave an affirmative answer.

"Of course, welcome to the team, Professor Agasa."

------

Who is the real hero?

"No, no, no, I'm not a hero. I couldn't have beaten this game if it weren't for the cooperation of the other players."

Facing the onslaught of the crowd, Conan's forehead was slightly damp with sweat.

He quickly turned to the other forty-nine players of the cocoon game, pointed at them, made an exaggerated gesture to divert the reporter's attention, and said loudly,

"It's you, it's all of you, my teammates, you are the real heroes!"

Hearing this, many players couldn't help but get excited.

Even the three members of the Junior Detective League were moved to tears, but Ai Haibara's expression wasn't very happy, because Conan had really stolen the show this time and was definitely going to be on the front page of the news.

If the Black Organization discovers Conan, they might find out that Conan is actually the missing detective Shinichi Kudo.

Therefore, Ai Haibara thinks that Conan is very likely to pass away tomorrow.

That being said, if Chen En were present, the Black Organization's attack on Conan's henchmen would be like throwing meat buns to a dog—a one-way trip. After all, Chen En's fighting prowess is terrifyingly evident.

Although Ai Haibara's investigation and testing revealed that this person was 100% pure human, judging from his actual physical characteristics, Chen En might be human, but it's somewhat unlikely that Chen En is human. This guy has some supernatural elements; otherwise, suppressing the Bermuda Triangle spirits would be impossible.

"So, what exactly happened?"

Hideki Moroboshi sat up in the game pod, looking completely bewildered.
He glanced at the other excited players beside him, his three best friends, and the media reporters with their cameras pointed at the players, then looked at Inspector Morohoshi next to him and asked again,
"What happened? I just took a nap, how did you all end up like this?"

Deputy Superintendent Moroboshi: ?
Well, that was to be expected.

However, Noah's Ark's actions were a bit too unfair. Even though Hideki Moroboshi was one of the players, he wasn't even allowed to participate in the game? Hagi Intelligence, you bastard…

Forget it, this artificial intelligence has already self-destructed, so there's no point in talking about it anymore.

"Great, Xiaolan, you're out safe and sound!"

Sonoko Suzuki excitedly held Ran's hand.

Ran Mouri gave a slightly embarrassed smile, glancing at Conan who was gazing deeply into the eyes of Yusaku and Yukiko Kudo. Her suspicions about Conan's identity grew even stronger.

—Although the idea of ​​adults turning into children is a bit too far-fetched,
However, Conan's behavior in the Cocoon game is quite strange. Conan's mastery of the Sherlock Holmes stories is almost the same as Shinichi Kudo's, and even their likes and dislikes are exactly the same, which makes it hard not to be suspicious.

"Haha, kid, you did a great job this time!"

"You have a bit of the flair of the world's greatest detective, Kogoro Mouri. Considering your performance today, I'll treat you to a big meal tomorrow! I, Kogoro Mouri, just received a commission fee, so I'm flush with cash!"

Kogoro Mouri grabbed Conan's head and rubbed it while saying those kinds of things.

Conan frantically tried to shake off Kogoro Mouri's evil hand, but his short arms and lack of strength prevented him from doing so. Ran Mouri was taken aback, and her initial suspicions began to fade.

—If it were Shinichi, he wouldn't look like this after shrinking, right? It doesn't feel quite the same as in the memories…

"Wow, Shinichi did a really good job this time."

Yukiko Kudo chuckled and whispered, to which Yusaku Kudo nodded slightly in response.
"Yes, but I have never doubted that Shinichi could do this."

"He has long since become a renowned detective capable of working independently."

As long as no one knocks Shinichi on the back of the head.

Another reporter quietly approached Conan.
She picked up the microphone, pointed it at Conan, and asked curiously,

"Excuse me, little friend, who taught you your reasoning skills?"

Upon hearing this, Kogoro Mouri immediately launched into a self-praise session.
Taking advantage of Kogoro Mouri's momentary lapse in attention, Conan swiftly removed the wicked hand and spoke first.

"I'm Holmes' apprentice! I learned my reasoning skills from Holmes!"

The live stream was transmitted bit by bit.

This matter concerns the status of the Sindora Foundation in the United States, so a television station in the United States is actually conducting a live interview. The person asking Conan questions is a reporter from a media outlet in the United States.

At that very moment, a girl with fangs, who was eating potato chips at a hotel, blinked and quickly called out,
"Mom, come quick! There's someone we know!"

A little girl with light blonde hair dried her hair with a towel and walked out of the bathroom, looking puzzled. The moment she saw Conan on the live stream screen, a look of surprise flashed in her eyes.

How come this child looks exactly like Shinichi Kudo from back then?
Could it be that Shinichi Kudo didn't go on a trip as publicly stated, but was forced to swallow that drug like her, turning into a child and living in anonymity ever since?
