Out-of-control players in the world of Detective Conan

The crowd jostled and pushed their way down the stairs.

Despite their tears, they still wore smiles.

"Young man, we owe you a lot. If you hadn't been the first to step forward, we probably wouldn't have had the courage."

A middle-aged man patted Qi Ming on the shoulder, his eyes full of admiration.

"Hehe, everyone was great too."

Qi Ming responded with a smile.

It seems this whole drama has come to a happy ending...

Weird.

After all, it was said long ago that this game wouldn't have a happy ending.

Everything proceeded as he had anticipated.

They gave them hope, then despair.

……

"Ah Zhen!"

"Aqiang!"

The parents excitedly called out their names as they approached the cocoon device.

However, just as they were preparing to remove the devices from the children's heads...

Sudden changes occur.

A powerful electric current suddenly surged forth!

呲味——

"Uh-huh!"

Those who were approaching screamed in agony as they were electrocuted, foaming at the mouth, and collapsed to the ground unconscious.

The game pod was closed again.

The projector in front of them then displayed Monokuma's image again.

At the same time, the mocking voice of Monokuma and the bizarre electronic sounds that rose again also rang out.

[Monokuma is back! Whoa, that was close! You almost managed to get your head around the bear's.]

[Pfft pfft pfft~ The bear knows now, the reason you're standing up now must be because you found out, right, Kuma?]

The hopeful smiles on people's faces vanished, and they retreated in terror.

Is this not over yet?

"Found something? Found what?"

Qi Ming frowned in confusion.

[Pfft, pfft, pfft~ Little handsome guy, stop pretending. Do you think a bear is some kind of clueless Noah's Ark?]

[Bear just watched the surveillance footage, and now Bear knows—you knew what just happened was being broadcast live nationwide, which is why you stood up!]

Nationwide live broadcast?

People stared wide-eyed.

What do you mean? Everything that just happened here was seen by people outside?

Some of those who were previously pointed out by Monokuma, those who did not later regret their decision and want to save the child.

His face was deathly pale!

They knew that their lives and careers were completely over!

"What live stream? What are you talking about?"

Qi Ming smiled nervously.

However, all they received in return was a series of sneers from Monokuma.

[Pfft pfft pfft~ Little brother, don't underestimate the wisdom of bears.]

There's only one truth, Kuma.

[You—want to continue deceiving those watching the live stream, and were forced to step forward, Kuma, to prevent your image from collapsing further!]

"What are you talking about? That's not how it is at all."

[Pfft pfft pfft~ You're getting impatient, you're getting impatient!]

In the control room, Yusaku Kudo's face darkened.

The intelligence of this artificial intelligence is simply incredible; it came up with a counter-argument so quickly!

This move is truly unsolvable—

The method of conveying hope to people through live streaming has failed.

Even if the people here voluntarily choose to exchange their lives for the child's return, that's another story.

People will also think that—

They knew that the scene here was being broadcast live nationwide.

He had no choice but to save his child in order to avoid ruining his reputation!

After all, participating in this game still gives them a chance to survive.

However, once one's image is damaged in the public eye, one will ultimately lose everything.

[Pfft pfft pfft~ Little handsome boy, you're so good and naughty, I love you so much~]

[Let Xiongxiong see, your child should be this girl named Ai Haibara, right, Kuma?]

[For your courage in stepping forward and becoming a beacon of hope, buddy, Xiongxiong has decided to give you a big gift!]

Monokuma's voice gradually rose in intensity.

[Pfft pfft pfft~ Big gift! It means Ai Haibara has to stay in the game, and no one can save Kuma!]

But because of you, buddy, since you want to be the person everyone hopes for, then I will set a new rule—

[Pfft pfft pfft~ I allow you to randomly replace Kuma with another child!]

Didn't you say bears don't understand human emotions? Are you still willing to replace them now?

[And those parents who were just making those demands, are you willing to accept this?]

"..."

how so?

This AI, Demon, is simply demonic!

That's unreasonable! Absolutely unreasonable!

The people who had still held onto hope now wore expressions of despair once again.

impossible?

Instead of replacing their own child, they are randomly assigned to someone else's child?

These powerful elites will never understand how anyone could be willing to give their life for a complete stranger.

"I agree."

However, Qi Ming's voice resounded throughout the entire stage.

【What are you saying?】

The black and white bear remained silent.

Everyone on the stage looked at Qi Ming with disbelief.

"I just said I do."

Qi Ming smiled nonchalantly.

"At least I can protect her safety from inside."

At that moment, people felt as if they were hallucinating.

They saw bursts of light rising from Qi Ming's body.

The blinding light seemed to purify the darkness and filth in my heart.

In this silence.

A group of men in black behind the stage suddenly stood up and walked down the steps.

The righteous partners have now arrived.

Gin's eyes, hidden beneath his hat brim, coldly swept over the people on stage, a hint of pleasure appearing in them.

Actually, he didn't really like this approach.

Direct and efficient, that's how tasks should be completed.

However, as of today...

Looking at the ugly appearance of these people, one can indeed feel a little pleasure.

"Oh my, this country is far dirtier than I ever imagined."

"I never expected that the person who was willing to stand up would be Chinese."

Vermouth covered her mouth and chuckled as she followed Gin, her eyes fixed on the direction of the cocoon.

Chianti laughed excitedly, feeling that Qi Ming had taught her a new way to hunt enemies.

It seems that giving hope followed by even heavier despair makes this method of hunting down enemies more interesting.

Or rather, what's interesting is human nature.

The remaining people didn't say anything, they just followed closely behind them.

Cohen is not good with words, and he can't bring himself to say anything disgusting.

Qi Ming had instructed him beforehand not to speak.

If he couldn't even compliment someone last time, asking him to make threats would probably be even more pointless.

Rena Mizunashi felt very fortunate.

This incident did not occur in his country.

Amuro Tooru's face was very gloomy.

Qi Ming's actions today were far more egregious than what he did at the police station last time.

Nevertheless, Amuro Tooru also harbored some doubts.

His lifelong belief: the future of this country...

Do they really deserve to be in these people's hands?
