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

……

The rest of the process is quite simple.

Every powerful figure here has, to some extent, done something shady in the past.

And once those things are revealed, the empire they once built will collapse.

Monokuma did the same thing, telling them that someone here knew about their past and giving them a sticker.

After those people left the room, their eyes were filled with suspicion.

Why is this person looking at me?

Does he know what I did in the past?

Why is this person afraid to look at me?

He's definitely guilty; he knows what I've done before!

Suspicion and motives have already been spread.

Now we just have to wait for the first victim to appear.

It might happen soon.

After some time, when the last person came out of the room, Monokuma said wearily.

"That concludes the private chat session. Congratulations on successfully joining Bear Company! Welcome!"

Monokuma clapped his hands to himself, but no one else responded.

Everyone's eyes turned to Qi Ming and Ai Haibara in unison.

"What, is it because I stopped you outside that you're not going to call us?"

Qi Ming asked the black and white bear in a calm tone.

"Oh, so there's still someone here. Sorry, I thought you were dead."

Monokuma said in surprise.

Junko Enoshima patted Qi Ming on the shoulder and complained, "You can ignore him, but you should at least keep an eye on our sister."

After saying that, Junko Enoshima released her hand from Qi Ming's shoulder and squatted down to press her face close to Ai Haibara's.

"You agree, right, Ai?"

"..."

"Hmph, lolicon, if you like Ai Haibara so much, then you two can work as receptionists together, are you satisfied now?"

Monokuma made a sarcastic remark, then waved to Qi Ming.

"You do it."

Qi Ming nodded and took a step forward.

tread.

tread.

The surrounding silence made Qi Ming's footsteps clearly audible.

Those who die frequently know this.

Sometimes death happens just like that.

He choked to death while drinking water, or tripped over a stone on the road and fell to his death with his head on the ground.

It's also possible that something perfectly fine will suddenly explode on the way to the leader's room.

Just as Qi Ming was about to stand in front of the black and white bear.

next second.

boom!

A deafening explosion rang out.

What followed was intense flames.

Strangely, no one felt the heat from the flames.

The flames in front of us lasted only a moment.

After the flames subsided.

It was a charred human torn body that swayed before collapsing heavily to the ground.

"..."

Everyone was silent.

The astonishing scene before their eyes left their brains no time to call upon other organs to do anything.

Even the people at the distillery felt the same way.

"Qi...Qi Ming?"

Seeing what had suddenly happened, Ai Haibara's eyes widened, and her body trembled uncontrollably.

How could this be?

he died?

He died right in front of me for no reason?

"..."

Monokuma stared at the charred human body lying on the ground, lowered his head in silence, and after a while, covered his mouth and said something.

"Dead! Someone's dead! Who, who could be so cruel as to slay our ray of hope!"

"My company has a murderer?! How could this be?! This is utterly hopeless!"

The voice of Monokuma reached my ears.

But this struck Ai Haibara as incredibly ironic.

Her eyes seemed to have lost their luster. She walked blankly to the charred human body and slammed her knees heavily to the ground.

Thinking back to what Monokuma just said.

I thought you were dead.

It was all a show that Monokuma orchestrated and acted out by himself.

Monokuma's original intention was to kill Qi Ming, who ruined his plans!

Ai Haibara lay on the charred human body, tears streaming down her face.

...Didn't you boast that you were a god? Shouldn't gods be immortal? Stand up now!

You said you were coming in to protect me, but you collapsed before you could do anything?

By the way, the organization has always said that you are the immortal wine, so you shouldn't be dead, right?

Please...

Don't die.

After an unknown amount of time, Ai Haibara raised her head.

She looked at the black and white bear and spoke as if she were a puppet, her mouth opening and closing.

"Just kill me."

"..."

Monokuma did not reply.

At that moment, he truly stood there like a plush toy, silent and still.

A few seconds later, Monokuma reacted and sent a secret message to a certain spot in the crowd.

[Host, it seems we've gone too far, meow. Our pet seems to think our storyline is too cruel, and is almost driven crazy by it, meow.]

The message quickly received a reply.

"I told you long ago that you couldn't change my storyline, so please tell me whose fault this is?"

Hehe...

"Not enough, not enough at all, I am an insatiable wolf."

[...x5]

"I swear I'll be a dog if I let you out again."

……

"……Ugh."

Junko Enoshima sighed with mixed feelings, as if a certain string in her heart had been touched.

She silently approached Ai Haibara, ruffled her hair, and whispered in her ear in a voice only the two of them could hear.

"This trick is often used in serial murder cases, isn't it? The real culprit is the first person to die."

“When we were out earlier, I asked you if you wanted me to give you spoilers, but you said no.”

"I've explained the game's user agreement to you clearly, but you still got a nervous breakdown."

Upon hearing Junko Enoshima's words, Ai Haibara's eyes gradually regained their sparkle, and she turned her head blankly.

"You, you are..."

"Junko Enoshima" winked, then smiled and tapped Ai Haibara's lips with her index finger.

"Please don't give away any spoilers."
