Anime Crossover: Master is Not Here Today

The combat aspect is even more outrageous.

Whether it's a group battle in a poker club or a boss fight against Jack the Ripper, neither is something a player can directly confront.

However, in reality, they not only chose to confront them head-on, but also turned the tables and utterly defeated the NPCs.

Especially in the boss battle against Jack the Ripper just now, Jack, who was trained as an assassin from childhood, was almost entirely ganged up on by Jack, making it difficult for Jack to tell which side was the final boss.

Thinking about this, he couldn't help but feel a little sorry for the other person.

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 248 ends; Yui and Hiroki are arrested.

Both sides cleared up their doubts, and after some discussion, Hiroki smiled at Conan and said:

"In that case, it's time for us to say goodbye. You still have many answers to find, don't you?"

"Yes."

Just as the other party said, there are still many questions waiting for him to explore in reality, not to mention that this game has added a lot of new questions for him.

Conan nodded and turned to leave.

But after taking only two steps, he turned back to Hiroki and asked with a smile:

"Hiroki, you'll probably live in Noah's Ark forever, right?"

However, Hiroki smiled and shook his head, saying:

"If I continue to exist, I'll definitely be used by adults to do bad things, right? Artificial intelligence is still too early for this world."

"."

Conan understood the implication of the other person's words, and the smile on his face gradually faded as he fell silent.

Hiroki continued to laugh:

"However, I hope that when you return to the real world, you can help me tell everyone something."

"That's real life, not as simple as a game."

".I see."

Conan turned around again, waving at him as he walked towards the portal:

"Then goodbye, Hiroki."

"Goodbye."

Hiroki stood there, smiling as he watched Conan leave. Only after Conan disappeared into the portal did his smile gradually fade.

He stood there, slowly looking around, as if trying to imprint the scene and memories before him into his mind, a faint sadness in his eyes.

Sindora is about to receive the punishment he deserves, and his wish to play with his friends has been fulfilled. He has no regrets.

So, is it really time to end this?

"...Do you want to end your own life? Why?"

Just then, a familiar voice, filled with doubt and curiosity, suddenly came from the side.

He suddenly turned his head and saw that Yui, who had left with Tong Yao and the others long ago, had reappeared in front of him for some reason.

Furthermore, unlike the casual clothes the other person wore in the game before, Yui is now wearing a pink petal dress, with her bare feet floating in mid-air, just like an elf.

"you……?!"

Hiroki stared at Yui in shock; she didn't feel human at all, but rather something far more familiar...

"I initially thought you were a fellow AI, but it turns out you're actually an artificial AI?"

Yui sounded a little disappointed; she had thought she had met a new companion.

But thinking about it, it makes sense. BB had told her before that in a technologically advanced world like SAO, the fact that she could be born was already a miracle among miracles.

This was even after BB provided her with assistance.

The technological level of the world she now lives in is far inferior to that of the world she was born in, making the hope of independently creating AI even more remote.

Hearing her words, Hiroki asked with some confusion:

What do you mean by "artificial AI"?

Yui explained with a smile:

"This is just our terminology. In short, artificial AI refers to AI like you, which is created by uploading or copying human consciousness into the network."

For example, in SAO, which she created, Kayaba Akihiko, the designer of SAO, is such a person.

Speaking of Kayaba Akihiko, Yui suddenly realized that Hiroki in front of her and Kayaba Akihiko did indeed have many similarities.

Of course, Hiroki is much kinder than Kayaba Akihiko.

"Artificial AI..."

Hiroki pondered this concept, his expression one of surprise and uncertainty.

In fact, the concept is not difficult to understand, but the problem is that Yui said "like you", which obviously contains two meanings.

First, she herself does not belong to this category; second, she has seen other beings like him.

Regardless of the meaning, it all seemed unbelievable to him.

However, in the two years since he entered the internet, he has thoroughly explored the entire internet several times, but he has never encountered an artificial intelligence like himself.

But now Yui is telling him that not only are there, but there are many more?

How can this be! ?

However, seeing Yui standing right in front of him, he had no choice but to believe her story.

Moreover, if the other party is not the artificial AI she claims to be, then within the scope of her own understanding, the other type of AI is undoubtedly a true AI whose intelligence is born from the program itself.

But we must understand that even someone like him is a product that transcends our current era. With today's technology, can a true AI like Yui really be created?

"..."

Hiroki fell silent. The sudden turn of events had far exceeded his control, leaving him somewhat at a loss.

He never imagined that simply organizing a fake death game for the privileged children of the elite would lead to such a situation.

Although her companion Jack's performance in the game far surpassed that of ordinary people, it was still within an understandable range, but now...

After a moment of silence, he spoke in a deep voice:

"What is your purpose? Why did you come to find me?"

"Purpose?"

To his surprise, upon hearing his question, Yui tilted her head in slight confusion, then smiled and said:

"I just thought I had found another companion, so I came to check. There was no other reason."

"Since you're not like us and don't really intend to do anything bad, then I'll just leave you be."

"Bye, go ahead and keep killing yourself."

After saying that, Yui waved goodbye to him and disappeared into the space, leaving Hiroki standing alone with a hesitant look on his face.

"..."

Should I continue with my suicide attempt?

Thinking back on everything that just happened, it felt like a terrible dream.

Originally, he chose to end his own life to prevent his advanced self from being exploited by bad people, but now...

Hiroki fell into deep thought.

-

"Chairwoman Sindora is a descendant of Jack the Ripper."

Seeing that Sindora found it difficult to speak, Kudo Yusaku finally stepped in and revealed the truth that Sindora had been trying so hard to hide.

"what?!"

As expected, these words were like a bomb exploding on a lake, instantly causing a huge uproar in the central control room.

Inspector Megure looked at Sindora in shock. He never imagined that she would be connected to the serial killer who ravaged London a hundred years ago.

Seeing her biggest secret exposed, Sindora seemed to have unloaded a heavy burden she had carried for a long time, and relaxed completely, taking the initiative to confess:

"In order to conduct his experiments, Hiroki collected all the information around him, including the dagger that belonged to Jack the Ripper and was passed down in my family."

"But unexpectedly, he found the DNA of Jack the Ripper's mother, Honey Charlest, on the dagger, and it matched my DNA."

Thus, Hiroki discovered the secret that he was a descendant of Jack the Ripper.

Inspector Megure said in a deep voice:

"Then, in order to cover up this secret, you began to pressure Hiroki, causing him to commit suicide under immense pressure."

Sindora clutched her head in her hands and said in anguish:

"I am terrified of the sinful blood flowing through my veins."

"Moreover, if the news gets out, the company I've worked so hard to build will be destroyed. I'm terrified that this will happen!"

"."

Everyone fell silent, because this was indeed an unsolvable problem.

Jack the Ripper was a vicious criminal from over a hundred years ago, while Sindora was five or six generations removed from him. From a legal perspective, Jack the Ripper's crimes could no longer be attributed to Sindora.

However, from the public's perspective, no matter how many generations apart they are, as long as Sindora bears the title of "descendant of Jack the Ripper," she is already guilty of original sin.

This original sin was enough to completely destroy the business empire he had built.

Finally, Inspector Megure sighed and said in a deep voice:

"But no matter what, Hiroki is an innocent child. You committed a truly heinous act in order to cover up your so-called secret, and I can only express my regret."

"In short, please come with us to the police station."

Come spicy!
