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

Just as Conan lost his rationality.

The bar on the 8th floor of the building.

"Wow, this wine is just right!"

Kogoro Mouri smiled broadly and downed one drink after another.

Kogoro Mouri wasn't alone here; Yusaku Kudo was quietly watching him with his phone in hand.

"Are you sure you want to do this?"

Upon hearing Yusaku Kudo's words, Kogoro Mouri smiled and shook his head.

"Haha, this is the only way I can help now... By the way, I'll have to ask you to take good care of Xiaolan in the future. Also, tell your brat to come back soon, so Xiaolan won't keep nagging him all day."

"..."

"Alright, hurry up and gather everyone together, hiccup, otherwise who knows what those people might do next."

Yusaku Kudo nodded, poured his drink, and clinked glasses with Kogoro Mouri.

"...Do you need me to give you more time?"

"No need, a few sips will be enough for me."

This time, Kogoro Mouri didn't use a glass to pour his drink; he started drinking directly from the bottle.

Kudo Yusaku sighed deeply, bowed solemnly to Mouri Kogoro, and then turned and walked towards the elevator.

A sharp glint flashed in his eyes.

This game is coming to an end.

……

33th floor.

The elevator doors opened, revealing several people lying on the ground, lifeless, to Kudo Yusaku's eyes.

There seemed to be a floral fragrance in the air.

Not far from the passage, Conan slumped against the wall, staring blankly at the ceiling.

"..."

Even though he didn't see it with his own eyes, Yusaku Kudo still knew what had happened.

He walked toward Conan with a gloomy expression.

It seemed that Yusaku Kudo's footsteps brought Conan back to his senses.

Looking at Yusaku Kudo, Conan said numbly, "I killed someone."

"I originally intended to use a tranquilizer gun to put them to sleep, but who knew..."

"..."

Yusaku Kudo was speechless, and could only squat down and pat Conan on the head.

Yusaku Kudo was perfectly aware of his son's youthful vigor.

Moreover, because of his own reasons, he wanted to prove himself, which Yusaku Kudo understood.

However, it seems I shouldn't have said those things yesterday; there were actually better ways to respond.

Yusaku Kudo sighed.

"Cheer up, from today onwards there will be no more victims."

"Let me share the burden of these seven deaths with you."

Yusaku Kudo helped Conan up, and they went to the broadcasting room together.

After slightly adjusting the microphone, Yusaku Kudo spoke into it.

"Please return to the first floor, everyone. I have something important to discuss with you."

"I have found a way to escape the game. Please gather on the first floor immediately."

……

Return to the lobby on the first floor.

A few minutes later, the people who had scattered earlier returned to the hall one after another.

Even Qi Ming and Ai Haibara quit their games and came here to gather.

Qi Ming frowned and thought to himself.

"What the hell are you doing? You were having so much fun and you called me over. Just keep playing your game."

[System: The game is over, and it's about to end.]

Qi Ming was startled.

"Huh? What? It's about to end?"

[Anyway, it's almost over, there's no more fun to be had.]

……

Seeing that everyone who was supposed to be there had arrived, Kudo Yusaku stood in front of them and then raised his phone.

"Everyone, the way to pass the level is in this phone, but I really don't want to release the contents, because once it is, someone will die."

Everyone's hearts trembled.

What do you mean by "releasing them will cause someone to die"?

"It contains a recording of a private conversation between someone and Monokuma."

What was the content of the private message?

Suddenly, someone in the crowd spoke up and asked, "Mr. Kudo, if that person says it aloud, they'll die!"

Yusaku Kudo nodded, his tone becoming somewhat heavy.

“If I could, I would not want to release this recording, but... it was his request.”

"He wanted to use his death to reveal the truth of the whole game."

"This person is Kogoro Mouri."

what? !

Everyone was shocked when they heard what Yusaku Kudo said.

I remember Kogoro Mouri told Monokuma yesterday that he wanted to have a private chat with Monokuma.

So, did Kogoro Mouri decide to sacrifice himself from that time onward?

He actually wants to use his death to tell everyone the truth?

For some reason, everyone felt a sudden stirring in their hearts.

Yusaku Kudo glanced at everyone, then played a recording on his phone.

Soon, Monokuma and Kogoro Mouri's voices came through.

Kogoro Mouri: What kind of game are we going to play next?

Monokuma: What game? Oh, you guys are playing a game right now. There aren't any other games.

Kogoro Mouri: What do you mean?

Monokuma: I've said it before, your game is to survive for 7 days. In fact, you can do nothing for those 7 days.

Kogoro Mouri: In that case, those guys are going to kill each other?

Monokuma: Hey, that's a really direct question. Fine, I'll mercifully tell you. They each know a secret about each other, and naturally, they can't tolerate each other in order to keep the secret from being exposed.

Kogoro Mouri: So they all know who that person is?

Monokuma: Of course I didn't tell them. They made up their own stories about killing people, thinking that what others said might be their secrets. I'm scared.

Kogoro Mouri: ...Why are you telling me all this?

Monokuma: Pfft pfft pfft~ You're such a third-rate detective, you can't solve this problem, and you can't reveal what I'm about to say. Why not tell you?

The recording abruptly ended there.

I heard the whole truth.

Everyone fell silent, their fists clenched.

So that's how it is! They've all been playing games with themselves all along!

Those in their positions are all shrewd and calculating, naturally harboring many thoughts and suspicions.

If we can communicate honestly...

No, perhaps it's impossible, after all, one might doubt whether the other person is lying to them.

But only now, no one doubts the authenticity of the recorded conversation.

After all, that was the truth that someone else spoke with their life.

boom!

A huge explosion came from upstairs.

Everyone was startled and clenched their fists.

They knew exactly what the explosion meant.

Kogoro Mouri is dead.

"Uncle..."

Conan regained his composure and silently looked up at the ceiling.

the other side.

Qi Ming found it quite strange.

Conan's moral compass fluctuates wildly, like he's on a rollercoaster.

Just before the explosion, Conan's resolve nearly crumbled.

The explosion actually strengthened his resolve.

What amazing creatures.

However, seeing this scene, Qi Ming still felt a sense of emotion.

That's what a righteous person should be—able to bring hope to everyone when all others are in despair.

I thought the one who could do all this should be the main character, but I didn't expect it to be a passerby.

No, they shouldn't be considered passersby either, since they're following the main character.

Qi Ming sighed inwardly.

He lost the game, and as the villain...

It's not uncomfortable, not uncomfortable at all.

The system lost, what does it have to do with him?

It was cut.
