The two days passed quickly and the game launch conference was held on time.

As a highly anticipated new game, it received a lot of capital investment during its development period.

The press conference was packed with well-dressed people, and various media gathered at the door to grab the first-hand news.

Chihara Aki disguised herself as a game developer from a certain company and successfully passed the security check with Yanagihara Miya Aya's invitation letter.

Not far into the venue, you can see rows of cocoon-like capsules on the stage. Those are the products that will be introduced at this press conference.

“Are those balls cocoons?”

No. 11 observes from Chihara Aki's perspective.

"You should have seen more advanced equipment." Qian Yuanqiu had nothing to do, so he chatted with No. 11: "What does that look like?"

"M has been to a higher-dimensional world before. In that world, everyone can freely choose the game board they like to live in. People don't really die in it, but go 'offline' and then be reassembled by the central control room and resurrected!"

No. 11 talked incessantly, and Chihara Aki gradually lost interest.

“How about it? Isn’t it interesting? As long as you want, you can stay in the game forever and forget about your worries.” No. 11 said excitedly.

"Forever... That would really be an ideal utopia."

Qian Yuanqiu did not comment on this idea. Humans are inherently fragile and sensitive creatures, and seeking benefits and avoiding harm is their survival instinct.

But escape cannot solve the problem. After the afterglow of joy, there is great emptiness and fear.

What's more, some worries can't be thrown away or let go.

"If you want to play, I can talk to M once your world becomes independent and take you with me."

The newly separated No. 11 has the mind of a toddler, chattering loudly when talking about playing.

"...Thank you, I'm not interested." Qian Yuanqiu rejected its kindness and found a place to sit down.

No. 11 didn't understand: "Why? Didn't you complete your mission after the world became independent?"

"Mission?" Qian Yuanqiu murmured, "An independent world is not my mission."

This was just what he had to do in order to bring Gin back.

"You're weird." No. 11 said, "M and I have experienced three worlds together, and you're the first one who doesn't want to leave after knowing the truth about the world."

"After the saviors of the first three worlds learned that there are higher-dimensional existences, they all yearned for the higher-dimensional world."

"They regard saving the world as their responsibility because they are the chosen ones. After the mission is over, they all asked M to transfer to a higher-dimensional world."

Qian Yuanqiu remained unmoved. Different people have different principles.

"If it were you, M might be more willing to agree to take you to the higher-dimensional world."

No. 11 continued to seduce, it quite liked the savior of this dimension.

"You call someone like me a savior?"

Qian Yuanqiu raised his eyebrows strangely, "I am a villain who plans to destroy the world with me if my rebirth fails again this time."

"Eh?" No. 11 said in a long tone in surprise, "But I don't think you are that kind of person."

"Really?" Chihara Aki was paying attention to the characters appearing in the plot. Conan and others also arrived at the venue under the leadership of Suzuki Sonoko.

"Because you only see the surface of me."

At this moment, he noticed someone approaching Kudo Yusaku and saying something, and the latter followed the person away with an anxious look on his face.

No one noticed this episode. The meeting procedure was set. Led by the staff, the children rushed to the stage and couldn't wait to get into the cocoon warehouse, including Conan and his group.

The drama has already begun.

"My goal from the beginning to the end was to return to my previous life with Brother Gin."

Qian Yuanqiu witnessed all this and sent a message to the number he had contacted recently: [It has already begun, get ready.]

"Saving the world is a difficult task that should be left to the brave."

He is not interested in the higher-dimensional world. Even though Brother Gin is a character created by others, the stories about him that accompanied him growing up are real.

No one can deny it.

He doesn't care about the safety of the world. Even if it is the end of the world, he just wants to return to the place that can truly be called "home".

No. 11 opened and closed his mouth in a daze, not knowing what to say, so he had to hide and organize various data to be sent to Noah's Ark.

As Noah's Ark appeared, the people present were panicked.

Kudo Yusaku didn't have time to feel sad and immediately rushed to the control room.

The investigation at the crime scene has been completed. The police have evacuated Tadaki Kenmura's studio and, at the request of Officer Megure, are on standby at various locations in the venue to prevent the situation from escalating further due to people's emotions getting out of control.

Qian Yuanqiu took advantage of the chaos to open the small door of the safety passage, avoiding the surveillance and easily came to the room where he had agreed to meet Noah's Ark.

Not long after, a "mission accomplished" message was sent to Qian Yuanqiu's mobile phone, with a photo attached.

Qian Yuanqiu took a look and put away his phone, tapping the table rhythmically with his fingers.

Although Yanagihara Miya Aya rejected the invitation and, despite the opposition of the board elders, forcefully terminated her investment in [Cocoon].

To outsiders who do not know the truth, this move seems to be just a means for the head of the Yanagihara family to clean up the mess.

After all, with the strength of the Yanagihara family, the [Cocoon] project is not indispensable, but it is crucial to the small families that depend on the Yanagihara family.

Therefore, some small families that were not involved in Yanagihara Miya Aya's "liquidation plan" still participated in this press conference, trying to obtain even one or two resources from it.

Before the meeting, Qian Yuanqiu contacted this young man under the identity of a big shot of the Yanagihara family and asked him to send him information about the venue at any time.

The young master guessed that it was someone who was not allowed to attend the conference due to the reasons of the head of the Yanagihara family but was curious about the press conference, so he wanted to deliver the information himself and did not suspect anything.

At this time, he, like everyone else, was sitting in the audience anxiously waiting for the child trapped in the game cabin.

Ever since the voice calling itself "Noah's Ark" emerged, things have gotten completely out of control.

When he thought of the head of the Liuyuan family withdrawing early, he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, wondering whether that person had learned the inside story in advance, which led to such a move.

As the game cabins dimmed and sank off the stage one by one, the tense situation on the scene made him unable to think at all. All he could do was wait until the children were rescued first.

Finally, as everyone expected, the sinking game cabin rose up in a rotation.

The children who had experienced the adventure of death broke out of their cocoons, and there was a huge cheer at the scene, with tears of joy rising one after another.

The young man could not hide his excitement in such an atmosphere, and at the same time he did not forget to share this good news with the curious gentleman from the same family.

Qian Yuanqiu received the situation at the venue at the same time, and No. 11 also became nervous.

It was afraid that Noah's Ark would really ignore it and be persuaded by Conan to self-destruct as in the original plot.

Qian Yuanqiu supported his head with one hand, waiting for the appearance of Noah's Ark in a very natural posture.

The computer with a black screen started up by itself and the screen lit up as expected.

A barely perceptible sigh was heard from the computer player. The screen flickered with the sound, and then a young man's half-body image appeared on the screen.

It's Hiroki Sawada.

"Hello, Mr. Yanagihara, I'm Hiroki Sawada."
