The cross-dressing master in the world of Detective Conan

What did she say?

Halfway through her speech, her voice gradually lowered until it became completely inaudible.

"No, it's nothing, it's nothing."

Ran's face turned suspiciously red, which not only failed to dispel Shinichi Kudo's curiosity but also had the opposite effect, greatly aggravating it.

"Let me deduce that, given that guy's personality, for you to react like this, Xiaolan, he must have said something like asking us to be alone together, right?"

Actually, after hearing Xiaolan say that he didn't need to worry about the train and that he would eventually finish the game anyway, he realized that he and Xiaolan were now enjoying their own little world.

After all, he had firsthand experience with Kazama Kaoru's perverse sense of humor.

"That guy? Could it be that you're close to Sister Xiaoxun? But I've never seen the two of you meet before?"

The downside of suddenly growing up is that it's hard to change your tone of voice or behavioral habits all at once.

For example, heaven knows how many times Shinichi Kudo forced Ran to swallow her words.

There was also the subconscious action of pushing up his glasses. He was lucky that Xiaolan was absent-minded and didn't notice such a subtle action. Otherwise, she would have seen through his true identity in no time.

"No, no, I heard it from Conan on the phone. You know, that kid always likes deduction, so he often calls me to ask questions."

A stronger will to survive than ever before caused Shinichi Kudo's brain to work at breakneck speed, and in just a few seconds he came up with a very suitable excuse.

"That's true. But speaking of which, it suddenly feels like I haven't seen Conan in a long time. It's really strange that the kid suddenly said he wanted to go home this morning."

"Alright, alright, let's not talk about that kid anymore. Let's go downstairs. I think Inspector Kazama must have come up with a solution. I heard Conan say that she's a computer expert."

"Yeah, I really admire Kaoru-nee. She seems to know everything, and I feel very safe around her. Compared to your unreliability, Shinichi, she's much better."

Shinichi Kudo, who had just steered the conversation away from Conan, unfortunately fell into the abyss called Kaoru Kazama.

Having just finished being jealous of herself, she now has to be jealous of the Great Demon King Kazama. This is an experience unlike any other.

He could guess what Kazama Kaoru said before she disappeared; it was nothing more than asking him to spend time alone with Ran.

This was also his wish, and in this respect, we should thank Kazama Kaoru.

As for our protagonist, Kaoru Kazama, he is currently enjoying himself immensely, swimming happily in a sea of ​​code.

Chapter 326 Christia

Previously, Kaoru Kazama used the system's data processing capabilities to input his own code into Jack the Ripper, who is currently controlled by the artificial intelligence Noah's Ark.

From that moment on, it was no longer a simple physical confrontation.

It's a real battle between the virus and the antivirus program.

Kaoru Kazama, who has become code, possesses a free will and is an unexpected existence that is not controlled by the Noah's Ark program.

Therefore, it's not wrong to consider her as a virus.

As for disappearing from Xiaolan's sight, it wasn't out of her own will, but rather it was Noah's Ark's own doing.

"Hiroki, is that you?"

Inside the virtual world of Noah's Ark, Kaoru Kazama stood in a place surrounded by light screens.

How did you know it was mine?

The voice was youthful, but surprisingly it had a mature quality.

The image of the genius boy Hiroki Sawada then appeared in this place.

"From your dad's private computer."

"Forehead?"

Hiroki Sawada's expression was one of utter surprise. He had expected Kaoru Kazama to provide a long list of deductions based on his observations and then identify him, but he hadn't expected the method to be so simple and crude.

"My dad, how come he has my information on his computer?"

"It's not very accurate, just some speculation, but you could say it's a parent's intuition, and it's quite accurate."

Hiroki Sawada's complex expression gave this cold artificial intelligence a touch of humanity.

"But then again, if you were really inside Noah's Ark, you wouldn't allow such crazy games, would you?"

Kaoru Kazama finds it hard to believe that someone could turn evil after attempting suicide once.

"Although I'm inside Noah's Ark, I'm not in charge of its actions. I'm just an administrator. The idea of ​​letting Japan start over is the main program of Noah's Ark and its original purpose. Even I can't change that. Luckily, you guys successfully completed the game, otherwise the consequences would have been unimaginable."

Hiroki Sawada's words reminded Kaoru Kazama of a certain arrogant king's story.

That is, Hiroya Fujimiya, the human form of Ultraman Agul, a genius scientist from the Alchemy Planet, who created the quantum computer CRISIS, but received the wrong answer due to the infection of the Destruction Bringer.

They believe that only by eliminating humanity can the Earth achieve peace from war, which is why they attract various monsters to constantly attack the Earth.

The Noah's Ark, the artificial intelligence created by Hiroki, seems to share the same idea. Should we say that humans are truly hated?

"Perhaps, such artificial intelligence should never have existed in the first place."

While Kazama Kaoru was thinking (making sarcastic remarks), Sawada Hiroki sighed like this.

Since the game ends with the children successfully completing it, the main program of Noah's Ark has finished executing and is currently under the complete control of the administrator, Hiroki Sawada.

In the end, this guy still showed a bit of childishness.

He said he had never enjoyed playing online games so much, whether in the United States or Japan.

Under the directives of Noah's Ark, administrator Hiroki Sawada, under duress, took control of Jack the Ripper, who had been enhanced by Noah's Ark, and engaged in a final battle with Kaoru Kazama and Ran Mouri.

At first, it was all under the protection of Noah's Ark, but as Hiroki Sawada got more and more into the game, those really awkward bugs disappeared.

In some ways, this is quite similar to Kayaba Akihiko, who had an invincible cheat code.

So what are you planning to do now?

Kaoru Kazama shrugged and asked the genius boy.

"Putting me aside for now, you must have your reasons for meeting me this way, right?"

"It seems you're not the withdrawn teenager that people say you are."

This emotional intelligence is far superior to that of the great detective.

Even though he's significantly older than her, it seems each generation is worse than the last.

"Since you're so smart, you should be able to guess it right away, right?"

Directly stating your needs is tantamount to handing someone else a handle to use against you.

Moreover, she really didn't think that the person who said he wanted to destroy Noah's Ark would kindly give her his hard work.

"I can guess that I don't have anything to scheme for besides Noah's Ark, since I'm just a person who no longer exists now."

So, what's your decision?

“I can give you a copy of Noah’s Ark, but I have my own requirements.”

"tell me the story?"

Kaoru Kazama was quite curious about what kind of request this genius boy would make.

However, the fact that he would agree to give him a copy of Noah's Ark is quite strange in itself.

"It's not a difficult requirement, it's just..."

The young Hiroki paused halfway through his sentence, then slowly raised his right hand, from which a point of light flew out and slowly flew towards Kaoru Kazama.

"what is this?"

Kazama Kaoru thought it was some kind of attack and instinctively tried to dodge, but the point of light flew straight to Kazama Kaoru's forehead.

After a slight stinging sensation, a beautiful fluorescent mark was formed.

"Tell me, what exactly do you want to do?"

Seeing Kazama Kaoru in a fighting stance, Sawada Hiroki waved his hand, both amused and exasperated.

"Don't do that. I can't take a punch from you right now. This is exactly what you want: a copy of the AI ​​Noah's Ark, but one that hasn't developed its own consciousness yet. In other words, you can think of her as a newborn baby still in the womb."

"A newborn? So, this is your and Noah's Ark's...?"

Kazama Kaoru suddenly felt a strange sense of familiarity. Could this procedure be a way of entrusting an orphan to someone?

"It's not what you think. Although Noah's Ark went down the wrong path at the beginning, to be honest, I don't have the right to erase a personality that has already formed. This is the formatted Noah's Ark, but it is also a brand new artificial intelligence. What kind of personality she will develop in the future is entirely up to you."

"Indeed, this is what it means to entrust one's son to another."

Kazama Kaoru looked at this ten-year-old boy and felt that he was much more mature than Shinichi Kudo.

He's clearly a little kid, but he talks like an adult.

"Why me? Strictly speaking, we've only just met. I think you should be more inclined to believe the great detective who helped you complete the game."

Even though it concerns my own purpose, I still need to ask the questions that need to be clarified.

If we consider Hiroki as an NPC, then it's clear that Shinichi Kudo, the leader, has raised his favorability rating higher along the way, rather than Hiroki himself, who has been hiding in the shadows and disrupting the game's progress.

Could it be that Hiroki is actually a masochist?

This thought suddenly occurred to her.

"Well, actually, it wasn't my decision, but Christia's, the formatted Noah's Ark, that made the decision."

"Christianity? That sounds like a woman's name, doesn't it? If I remember correctly, Noah's Ark's personality seems more like that of a naughty little boy."

Hiroki was clearly taken aback when Kaoru Kazama focused on this, and after a brief pause, he replied:

Chapter 327 Becoming a Mother

"That's because of you, of course!"

This matter-of-fact tone made Kazama Kaoru's already disorganized mind even more confused.

"What do you mean?"

"Because of your intrusion, Christia's gender was ultimately determined, wasn't it? I was just responsible for giving her a name."

So this is how artificial intelligence determines gender? It feels rather hasty.

“My only request is that you take good care of Christia and prevent her from going down the path of Noah’s Ark. So, Sayyir.”
