Detective Conan: Birth of the Demon Child

Ran Mouri was surprised because Ms. Jodie usually presented a very serious and unsmiling image at school.

If Ran Mouri hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she would never have believed that Jodie, who always had a serious expression, would actually be playing games at the arcade.

Ran Mouri instinctively walked to Jodie's side and called out somewhat uncertainly, "Teacher Jodie?"

"Ok?"

Upon seeing Ran and Sonoko, Jodie's eyes flashed with surprise, but she quickly smiled gently and said, "It's Ran and Sonoko, are you here to play games too?"

"Ms. Judy, what are you doing here?" Sonoko couldn't help but ask curiously.

"Actually, I come to this game center every day after school to play video games for a while."

Judy replied with a smile, "Your game consoles here are really great, and they're very popular in the United States."

When I played video games in the US, I always had to wait in line for a long time, and by the time it was my turn, I was exhausted.

That's why I came here to be an English teacher, so I can have a blast at the game center every day.

(?--)

Suzuki Seimei and the others were speechless upon hearing this.

Sonoko asked incredulously, "You're not teaching so diligently just to play games, are you?"

"Yes! If I get expelled for not teaching seriously, then I won't be able to play games so leisurely like I am now."

Ms. Judy shrugged helplessly and said, "It's really too difficult for foreigners like us to find jobs here, so you have to keep my playing games here a secret, okay?"

(￣ ー￣)

Sonoko nodded, speechless.

Sonoko was very surprised to learn that Judy was a game enthusiast, but she also felt that Judy had become more approachable.

Compared to Judy's serious and earnest demeanor at school, Sonoko feels that she is easier to approach now.

"what?"

Judy turned to look at Suzuki Haruaki and the others, and asked curiously, "Mouri-kun, who are these three cute little kids?"

"Hello, Ms. Judy. My name is Suzuki Haruaki, and I am Sonoko's younger brother."

Before Ran Mouri could answer, Seimei Suzuki introduced himself first: "These two next to me are Conan and Ai."

"Suzuki-san, so you have a younger brother? That's so cute~"

Looking at Suzuki Haruaki's adorable little face, Judy couldn't help but reach out and pinch his cheek.

"Ding! Congratulations on successfully signing in to Judy Sterling. You are rewarded with a Proficiency-level 'Fire Precision' manual, which you can claim at any time."

The moment Judy touched Suzuki Seimei, a system notification sounded in his ear.

Since Suzuki Seimei's "Guns Precision" skill level has already reached the perfect level, the new sign-in reward skill book is not of much use to him.

However, compared to those auxiliary skills, Suzuki Seimei was quite satisfied with being able to sign in for this type of combat skill book.

If this master-level "Guns Precision" skill book were given to Tachibana Maya, it would likely allow her marksmanship to improve further, elevating her to the level of a top-tier assassin.

"By the way, since we've met here by chance, why don't we play some games together!"

Judy suddenly clapped her hands and suggested with a smile, "This game center happens to have a very popular fighting game machine that I'm sure you'll like."

(⊙o⊙)...

Faced with Judy's enthusiastic invitation, Ran and Sonoko, as students, felt something was off.

Is it really okay for teachers to play games with students?

"Looks like we're in luck; there's still an empty fighting game machine here."

After Judy finished speaking, she excitedly led everyone to an empty arcade chair.

Looking at the game title on the console, Sonoko couldn't help but complain, "This game is called Super Warrior Spirit, how come I've never heard of it before?"

"This fighting game was officially released by Mantiantang Company six months ago."

Upon hearing this, Suzuki Haruaki explained, "The biggest selling point of this game is that it can be used with specially designed game equipment to allow players to experience a more realistic fighting feel."

This is precisely why this fighting game is more popular among male players.

Someone like you, Sonoko-neechan, who isn't particularly interested in video games, would naturally never have heard of this game.

Judy was somewhat surprised by Suzuki Haruaki's words and said, "Little brother, you know a lot! Do you like playing video games?"

"It's alright!"

Haruaki Suzuki smiled and waved his hand, saying, "Actually, I prefer selling video games to playing them."

"Selling video games? What does that mean?"

Judy blinked her big, questioning eyes and looked at Sonoko and the others with an inquiring gaze.

Sonoko shrugged and said, "Actually, it's nothing serious. It's just that Seimei owns some shares in Mantendo Company, so he's a shareholder of Mantendo Company!"

"So that's how it is!"

Judy's true identity is that of an FBI agent, and she naturally knows that Sonoko is the second daughter of the Suzuki Group.

Since Suzuki Seimei is Sonoko's younger brother, he must be the future heir of the Suzuki Group.

Suzuki Seimei owns some shares in Manten Company, which is somewhat surprising, but not particularly outrageous.

Judy smiled and said, "Alright, who wants to try this game first?"

"I have no interest in this kind of fighting game. How about letting Xiaolan try it?"

"Then let Mori give it a try!"

As soon as Judy finished speaking, she pressed Ran Mouri down onto the gaming chair and helped her put on the gaming helmet.

"Next, all we need to do is insert the game coins."

"Buzzing..."

As Judy inserted the game coin into the coin slot, the mechanism on the game chair slowly started.

The safety buckle slowly rose from behind the chair, securing Ran Mouri's upper body to the chair.

Two rows of buckles then slowly extended, securing Ran Mouri's hands and feet to the movable joysticks.

"For beginners who are playing this game for the first time, it's easier to choose Warrior Patra."

After Ran Mouri was seated, Jodie helped her choose a female fighting game character, then held her right hand and said, "Next, just gently push your right fist forward, and the game will begin, okay?"

"Ok."

"ready, go!"

At Judy's command, Ran Mouri gently pushed the game joystick in her right hand.

"ha!!!"

The instant the game started, the burly man in the vest on the game console screen suddenly roared, raised his fist the size of a sandbag, and punched at the game character controlled by Ran Mouri.

"boom!"

Ran Mouri, who was playing this game for the first time, didn't even have time to block and took the punch head-on.

At the same time, a faint electric current emanated from the gaming helmet Ran Mouri was wearing, making her cheeks feel slightly numb, as if she had actually been punched.

Of course!

The impact sensation simulated by a tiny electric current will only cause a slight pain and will not actually cause injury.

My face feels so numb!

Although the pain from the electric shock was mild, Ran Mouri instinctively cried out in pain upon being suddenly shocked.

"Xiao Lan, are you alright?"

Seeing this, Sonoko couldn't help but worry.

"It's alright, you don't need to worry."

Seeing the worried looks on Sonoko and Conan's faces, Suzuki Seimei smiled and explained, "Although these virtual fighting game consoles cause players to feel pain through electric shocks and vibrations, the power of the electric shocks is very small."

It's like getting a shock to your finger from the stun gun in a lighter—the stimulation is strong, but it won't harm the player's body.

"call--"

Coming to her senses, Ran Mouri took a deep breath, adjusted her state, a glint of light flashed in her beautiful eyes, and she suddenly exerted force with both hands.

"Bang bang bang..."

The female fighter on the game console screen also quickly swung her arms, and her fists rained down on the burly man in the vest.

The burly man in the vest was quickly beaten until his face turned blue, and he swayed from side to side before finally collapsing to the ground.

You!!!

"Great!"

Seeing the winning screen on the game console, Sonoko couldn't help but cheer happily. She turned to Jodie and said, "Teacher Jodie, you'll never believe it, Ran once won the karate championship in the Kyoto tournament!"

"That's amazing!"

No sooner had Judy finished speaking than a male character with a high ponytail suddenly appeared on the game screen, pointing outside the screen and shouting, "I'm going to kill you!"

"Ms. Judy, what's going on?"

"This means someone has come online and challenged you; it must be that person."

Judy looked around and quickly fixed her gaze on a thug with short, dyed yellow hair.

On the game console screen in front of the blond thug was the game character controlled by Ran Mouri.
