So, it's because of excessive pampering that psychological problems have arisen?

This was clearly illogical, but due to the terrifying influence of the Syndora Group in the United States and the T industry, any dissenting voices were quickly suppressed.

So over time, it was eventually dropped.

Now that this old issue has been brought up again, and in front of the entire upper class of Japan, even if President Sindora wanted to stop it, she couldn't. Without the advantage of local dominance, she couldn't stop it.

He can't even stop AI from tampering with games, let alone stop AI from speaking.

"Actually, I developed another system along with Noah's Ark."

In the white circular plaza within the game space, the sound of Noah's Ark traveled through the venue's speakers to everyone's ears.

"That's a DNA tracking system."

470. Lin Xiaofeng was publicly executed.

"oh……".

Lin Xiaofeng dragged out the tone.

DNA tracing, as the name suggests, means being able to trace one's ancestors back to every blood relative through DNA.

"At the time, in order to verify whether the DNA tracking system was successful, I borrowed a dagger from Thomas Sindora from many of the Sindora Group’s collections. It was said to have been used by Jack the Ripper in London in the 19th century. But the final test revealed that the DNA of Jenny Charlister on the dagger was exactly the same as that of Thomas Sindora."

"That means..."

Lin Xiaofeng hissed. This was truly a bombshell. Based on the game's deductions, Jack the Ripper and Jenny Charlister were mother and son—?

"That's right, you should have guessed it already."

Noah's Ark smiled, but there was a hint of helplessness in his smile.

"Thomas Sindora was afraid that I would eventually find out that he was actually a descendant of Jack the Ripper, so he kept me under 24-hour surveillance and forced me to work at a high intensity, putting me under tremendous mental pressure, which ultimately led to my suicide."

"But what he didn't know was that I actually knew about this from the beginning, but I never intended to make the results public. It wasn't until later, when I realized that I would be killed sooner or later, that I sent the DNA tracking system along with the results to my father."

Lin Xiaofeng recalled: "I remember that when Mr. Kenmura was murdered, all the data on the computer in his office was wiped clean..."

"Yes."

Noah's Ark nodded slightly.

"My father met with Thomas Sindora to negotiate, but not for blackmail. He simply wanted Thomas Sindora to admit his crimes and face legal trial. However, he was ultimately killed by Thomas Sindora as well."

Holy crap, father and son were killed by the same person, what kind of blood feud is this...

Lin Xiaofeng didn't know what to say.

"However, knowing Thomas Sindora's ruthless nature, his father was still cautious. He installed a camera in his office, but the host connected to it was not the computer in the office, but the server in the venue. He set it up so that when the demo was about to end, the content displayed on the big screen would be forcibly switched to the recording in the office."

Noah's Ark symbolically waved its hand within the game space, and a large screen resembling a drive-in movie theater immediately appeared in the center of the white circular plaza.

The screen displays a real-time view of the venue lobby via a camera.

At this moment, the large screen at the front of the venue was no longer displaying footage from the game space, but rather a video recording of what happened in Tadahiro Kenmura's office.

In the video, Thomas Sindora walks in from outside with a gloomy face. After exchanging a few words with Tadahiro Kenmura, who is sitting in front of the computer, she takes advantage of the latter turning around to fiddle with the computer and pulls a sharp dagger from her sleeve. Then, before Kenmura can react when he turns around again, she stabs him in the heart.

The video footage is clear, the evidence is conclusive, and it's shocking.

Lin Xiaofeng didn't care much about this; Inspector Megure would handle it properly afterward.

In contrast, he was more concerned about something else.

"By the way, will people outside hear us if we talk now?"

"Not now. I've muted the in-game audio since the recording started playing," Noah's Ark shook his head.

"Oh, all right."

Lin Xiaofeng squinted and glanced sideways.

"Then let me ask you, what was your doing when Eileen Adler first saw me in the dungeon? I don't think our information technology is advanced enough to make NPCs have subjective aesthetic judgments."

"Well……"

Noah's Ark blinked.

"This is also to conform to the real-world setting. According to my research, the image and voice prototype of Irene Adler in the game is Ms. Fujimine Yukiko, who is your close partner."

"How...how did you know that?" Lin Xiaofeng asked in surprise.

"According to the results of the online survey, as for Ms. Fujimine Yukiko's original wife, Kudo Yusaku has completely lost his wife's body and soul." Noah's Ark answered every question. It was like a bombshell exploding, leaving everyone in the hall speechless.

Everyone was buzzing with excitement; they never expected to hear such juicy gossip at a press conference.

"According to the data I scraped from shopping websites, Ms. Fujimine Yukiko has purchased various cosplay costumes multiple times in the past six months, including anime costumes, uniforms, lingerie, and all sorts of other outfits. And during this period, the only man Ms. Fujimine Yukiko has had close contact with is you."

However, the torment from artificial intelligence is not over yet.

Noah's Ark draws inferences from one instance: "And the same findings were found in the investigation of the famous lawyer Eri Kisaki, the de facto controller of the Suzuki Group, Tomoko Suzuki, and Hattori, who had previously secretly divorced..."

"Stop, stop, stop! Enough said. Now that your wish has been fulfilled, you should hurry up and become a Buddha!"

Lin Xiaofeng finally cracked open for the first time ever. Artificial intelligence was terrifying, an existence as terrifying as a system!

"Okay, I won't say anymore."

Noah's Ark indeed fell silent and stopped speaking, its eyes, resembling those of a twelve-year-old boy, shining brightly.

"There's one more thing, which can also be considered a reward after clearing the game. I will replace you with Eileen Adler and make her your new harem."

Noah's Ark's personality and emotions have switched to Irene Adler, and this terrifying artificial intelligence will, under the emotional control of Irene Adler, contribute to Japan's technological progress.

The game has been completed, and all participants have been able to log out. On the stage at the front of the venue, staff members are operating the fifty giant egg lids one by one to open them and remove the brainwave sensors from their heads.

Lin Xiaofeng was almost the last to be released from the cocoon, while Hattori Heiji and Conan were released from the cocoons next to him at the same time.

"Ha. Finally out! It feels so good to be back in the real world!"

After removing the EEG sensor, Hattori Heiji nimbly leaped out of the cocoon, landing on his feet with his arms raised high, stretching his body and exclaiming loudly.

Then, as if suddenly remembering something, he turned his head back and forth to lock onto Lin Xiaofeng's direction. Ignoring Conan, who had also just emerged from his cocoon, he strode over with a grin and patted the boy on the shoulder.

"The final battle was truly spectacular! I never imagined you, Lin Jun, were so strong that you could even defeat Jack the Ripper without wearing armor!"

"I thought the first thing you'd ask me when you woke up would be if I was in heaven..." Lin Xiaofeng complained.

"How can it be."

Heiji Hattori waved his hand vigorously, his face, black with an intensity comparable to that of an African, beaming with a wide smile.

"After we left the field, we switched to spectator mode, so we knew everything that happened after that."

"But the unluckiest one was Kudo. He ignored the advice and stubbornly chased after them, resulting in him being taken down by the final boss. Hahahaha."

Osaka Black Chicken didn't hold back and loudly mocked his best friend.

Conan blushed and felt embarrassed, so he quickly kicked her secretly.

"Stop talking like Kudo. Be careful, this isn't a game anymore."

"...Actually, it wasn't really a victory; at most, we perished together," Lin Xiaofeng said. "Although the final result was still good."

"That's right! If it's a one-for-one trade, then let's go all out against him!"

On the other side, Fatty Emori Akira and the young master version of Mitsuhiko Kikukawa Seiichiro also ran over, shouting strange slogans with glee.

Following behind them, Hideki Moroboshi himself looked as if he hadn't woken up yet, rubbing his forehead in confusion as if trying to remember something.

Upon hearing his idol's famous quote distorted in this way, a certain Sherlock Holmes, who claimed to be from the Heisei era, felt his blood pressure rise and muttered indignantly.

"Clearly—if it can truly destroy you, I would gladly embrace death for the public good!"

However, no one paid any attention to such a quiet protest.

Not far away in the audience, Tomoko Suzuki and Shizuka Hattori, like the other "parents," came down from their seats and approached the stage.

"Thank you for your hard work." Tomoko Suzuki smiled elegantly as always.

"What a wonderful battle." Hattori Shizuka nodded reservedly, a glint of light in her eyes.

The two women came to Lin Xiaofeng's side, captivated by his charm.

……

Given all these events, it's impossible for the press conference to proceed as planned.

· ······Requesting flowers· ····

Fortunately, there wasn't much more content after the demo session; it was mostly just empty promises to attract investment and a closing speech.

In fact, if things had gone through the normal process, the technical content shown at tonight's demo event alone would have been enough to make the Sindora Group's stock price multiply several times over.

But now, even the CEO has been arrested, and the technology he invented has been confiscated and placed under the jurisdiction of the Japanese government…

In short, after picking up their children, most people in the venue went home.

Lin Xiaofeng was no exception. After saying a brief goodbye to Hattori Heiji and Conan, he was pulled away from Beika City Hall by Suzuki Tomoko. As for Hattori Shizuka, she went straight back to the Lin residence. She was already living with Lin Xiao, so there was no need for her to join in the fun. She decided to let Lin Xiao have his fun with Suzuki Tomoko.

Outside the city hall, Suzuki Group vehicles were parked on the roadside.

Once inside and the door is closed, the excellent sound insulation of this top-of-the-line customized business vehicle keeps all noise out.

"Let's go to Suzuki Holiday."

Tomoko Suzuki picked up the phone hanging on the wall next to the car door, said something, and then hung up.

A few seconds later, accompanied by a slight engine vibration that spread throughout the vehicle, the van slowly started.

Lin Xiaofeng roughly knows the Suzuki family's place.

As you can tell from the name, this is also a property under the Suzuki Group, a high-end bathroom designed in the style of ancient Roman baths.

... 0th

Of course, it's just a copy; there are still some differences between the men's and women's soups.

"Ha~ What a terrible night. If I had known the press conference would turn out like this, I wouldn't have brought you."

After shedding her guard in front of outsiders, Tomoko Suzuki suddenly became languid.

She took off her high heels, lifted her feet, which were covered in semi-transparent black stockings, and placed them on Lin Xiaofeng's thighs near his knees. Then she began to wiggle her toes and push forward little by little.

This was a unique way for the two of them to flirt. Lin Xiaofeng, who immediately understood Mrs. Suzuki's intention, leaned forward without hesitation and reached out his hands to pull her from the sofa opposite him onto his lap.

"Hey! Wait a minute, we're still... in the city, be careful of the crowds... um... once we get there, you'll have plenty of time to get things sorted out..."

Tomoko Suzuki struggled symbolically for a moment, but the curve of her lips betrayed her true feelings.

Then she stretched out her arms and suddenly hugged Lin Xiaofeng, her voice very close and soft in the close contact.

"No matter what, it's good that you're back safe and sound."

"……Um."

"Also, what's the deal with the blonde older sister you mentioned in the game?"

"Um?!"

As the premier high-end bathhouse under the Suzuki Group, Suzuki Holiday's business operations are certainly not like those of ordinary bathhouses, which only offer massages and baths, and at most a little bit of prostitution.

In a strict sense, it is no different from a top-tier hotel, as it includes accommodation and dining, as well as many other extended businesses attached to these two categories.

In layman's terms, Suzuki Holiday has a dedicated accommodation area, and its entire structure is like a resort, with one independent villa after another set up in a beautiful natural mountain area, complete with various outdoor swimming pools and baths.

It truly lived up to the word "holiday".

As the de facto controller of the Suzuki Group, Mrs. Suzuki naturally has her own exclusive vacation villa at Suzuki Holiday Village, which is never open to the public.

That is the super villa located at the highest point of the entire resort, and it is also the most luxurious and largest in terms of area.

Under the night sky, the mountains and forests are silent. In the open-air backyard of the huge villa located on the mountaintop, which is brightly lit by fire, large swaths of hot white mist rise into the sky from the surface of the bathtub, which is suspended in the air and supported by tough steel pillars connected to the mountain.

Tomoko Suzuki sat with her back against the edge of the bathtub, turned her head and put one arm on the safety railing behind her, looking down at the villas, some bright and some dark, scattered far apart, and raised her eyebrows slightly at the boy beside her.

"How about it? The scenery here is quite nice, isn't it?"

"...It's very good."

Lin Xiaofeng spoke the truth.

However, he wasn't referring to the view of the mountain from above, but rather to Tomoko Suzuki, who was right next to him.

471. Like a fish in water

The bath they were in was just the largest and only ordinary bath among the many baths in the backyard; there were many other smaller baths, each with its own unique features.
