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

"No one has found the culprit... Well then, I'll rescue the real killer later and treat him to good food and drink."

Monokuma said casually.

It only made the atmosphere more somber.

It took quite a while.

Two pleasant female voices rang out from outside the door, bringing a touch of life to the otherwise deathly silence.

Although I couldn't understand what they were saying, their tone sounded quite cheerful.

Although it always felt like they were arguing.

"...Little sister, I really don't understand you. Do you have Parkinson's? I asked you to use a tube to suck up a bomb, and you couldn't get it right after sucking for ages. Aren't you stupid?"

"Pah! What do you mean I can't aim properly? It's obvious that you don't dodge when the boss uses AoE attacks, you just fall down and fall asleep every time, leaving me to fight the boss alone!"

"You know nothing!"

"Hmph, you idiot."

"Oh my, you're getting impatient, starting to swear now?"

"Urusai, baka."

Then two figures appeared in front of the door.

It was Qi Ming and Ai Haibara who had been playing the game all day and were still stuck on the first level.

After a day of enjoyable gaming, Ai Haibara's spirits were no longer low.

Although she still had doubts about everything that was happening, Ai Haibara did not intend to ask them now.

It's better to be honest with each other after everything is over.

"Why is there an emergency notice? Is there some kind of event going on?"

Qi Ming asked the black and white bear curiously.

He parted ways with the system yesterday.

You do your thing, I'll do mine, whatever.

Therefore, Qi Ming had no idea where the plot had progressed since he left yesterday.

"What else can we do? Another person in my company has died! If this keeps up, who knows how much the property prices will drop!"

"It's black and white bear," the black and white bear said, stamping its foot.

"Didn't you do all of that? You shameless bastard."

"Pah! Slander!"

Conan watched the man and the bear talking to each other and pursed his lips.

This woman is truly an amazing creature; isn't she afraid of death?

No, to be honest, if it weren't for the rules regarding stickers, I've never actually seen Monokuma intentionally kill someone...

Is this AI actually quite ethical?

As Conan pondered, his gaze unconsciously drifted back and forth between Meiko Saitoshima and Ai Haibara.

These two really don't seem nervous at all.

And what were they doing during those conversations?

Ai Haibara.

My brother was killed yesterday, and I'm so heartbroken that I feel like I'm going to be buried with him.

How come it recovered in just one day?

Or is it precisely because of such a ruthless heart that he was able to become a reserve member of that organization?

And Enoshima Junko...

Is this woman actually a member of the organization?

This person always seems out of place here.

First, there's the issue of her identity; he hadn't seen this girl in the lobby before entering the game.

This is a politician, that's a businessman, and you're a hot girl.

It looks really strange, doesn't it?

Secondly, she was too calm.

They had no fear of the unknown tomorrow.

It was as if... she knew what would happen in the future, which was why she could remain calm.

While Conan was pondering, Monokuma noticed that everyone was silent and patted Madoka's hand.

"Fine, then let's continue as usual today, keep the work off and look for the culprit. I'm going to wash my feet."

As soon as he finished speaking, the black and white bear spun and leaped, as if about to disappear in a flash.

"Wait, I have something I want to ask you."

"Kuma!"

Kogoro Mouri suddenly interrupted Monokuma's spellcasting, causing him to trip and fall.

He jumped up angrily and waved his fist at Kogoro Mouri.

"What's up? Or do you want to get your feet washed with me too?"

Kogoro Mouri coughed twice.

"Why didn't you message me privately before? Not only me, but there are some other people you didn't message either."

"This..."

The black and white bear scratched its head, its face displaying a human-like look of disdain.

"The main problem is that you're not up to the task. Look at the others, they're big bosses, political pioneers, and what are you? A third-rate detective and a mystery novelist."

"Of course, a bear like me who's only interested in money doesn't want to talk to you."

Kogoro Mori clenched his fists in anger.

“I don’t care about any of that. You have to talk to me privately. I have a feeling the answer is hidden in what you’ve said.”

"I, the sleeping great detective Kogoro Mouri, am absolutely capable of uncovering your scheme!"

Seeing Kogoro Mouri's confident demeanor, Monokuma sighed and waved his hand:

"Come on, come on, honestly, even if I told you all that, so what? You can't say it out loud anyway."

Kogoro Mouri's lips twitched, but he still followed Monokuma into the room.

As Monokuma led Kogoro Mouri into the house, the crowd dispersed, each with their own thoughts.

Yusaku Kudo looked at Conan, who was deep in thought, and handed him a cell phone.

“I got up very early today and took the elevator to observe each floor. On the 33rd floor, I found six bodies and cell phones with the same contents.”

"Explosions, gunshot wounds, stab wounds, all sorts of fatal injuries, but I'm ashamed to say I couldn't find any clues or evidence."

Conan scrolled through the messages on his phone, recalling what Monokuma had said to him in a private chat earlier.

Conan understood.

He finally understood the whole reason why people kill each other.

I'm afraid he's about to reveal his secret, and I'm also afraid others will think I know his secret...

No matter what, someone has to die.

"Why is this happening? We could have just communicated properly..."

Conan whispered to Yusaku Kudo, but then he seemed to remember something and shook his head bitterly.

So that's why Monokuma doesn't allow others to reveal the contents of his private chats.

Qi Ming's death served as a prelude, followed by the person revealing private chat content and then exposing themselves.

One link leads to another, fixing these people's thinking: only by killing someone can they get out.

Somehow.

Conan was suddenly startled at this thought.

If it weren't for Qi Ming's death, they probably wouldn't have suspected someone of murder so soon...

The timing of Qi Ming's death seems too coincidental.

It happened right after Monokuma revealed his motive for the murder to the people.

Conan hesitated, then said softly:

"Was it actually Monokuma who killed Qi Ming?"

"Do not."

However, Yusaku Kudo shook his head.

"Perhaps it's just a feeling. Monokuma's words are full of lies, but this is the only thing I don't think is false."

"..."

"Now we should tell everyone to stop speculating. This is all a scheme orchestrated by Monokuma."

"I can't believe it," Conan said anxiously, turning to run out of the room.

However, Kudo Yusaku pressed down on his shoulder.

My own dad is the best; he's very polite and never grabs people by the back of their collar.

"what happened?"

Yusaku Kudo sighed and pointed to his eyes.

“If I’m not mistaken, you’re in the same boat as me now… Look at the bottom right corner of your vision.”

The bottom right corner of your gaze?

Conan looked down to the right in confusion, but saw nothing.

Just as he was about to ask Yusaku Kudo what he meant, Conan noticed.

It seemed as if it was imprinted in my eyes; an icon appeared in the lower right corner of my field of vision!
