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

"Puff puff~"

A strange laugh rang out, and everyone turned around sharply to see that the black and white bear had somehow appeared in the open space behind them.

But for some reason, no one felt worried anymore.

"Monokuma, we have seen through your tricks. We will no longer let you manipulate us."

"I will not raise a knife against others while harboring suspicion."

Kudo Yusaku stepped forward and said earnestly.

The people behind him nodded in agreement.

Now that they know the truth, they will no longer suspect each other.

That's right, there has always been only one real culprit—the artificial intelligence right in front of us.

"Pfft pfft pfft~ You guys have become so righteous now, huh? You were just thinking about killing other people's forces a moment ago."

The black and white bear chuckled, its little round hand gesturing wildly through the crowd.

However, those who were called out only looked slightly unnatural for a moment before recovering.

"Tsk... that dazzling light in your eyes really doesn't suit you."

Monokuma shrugged, then changed the subject, asking, "Have you found the murderer who killed those seven people yesterday?"

murderer?

"You don't actually think we'd fall for that, do you? Didn't they die fighting each other?"

"Do you still want to sow discord now?!"

"Quack quack!"

Monokuma burst into laughter, then said with a serious expression.

"That's not true. Those seven didn't die like that. They were killed by one of you."

"And some of you know who killed those seven people."

Monokuma said this, and his expression didn't seem to be lying.

But he didn't seem to intend for everyone to find the real culprit, and then said:

"Well, it's no use now. My tricks have been exposed anyway, and the dead can't come back. It doesn't matter whether we look for the culprit or not."

"After all, the culprit will be optimized by Ben Xiong once he is found."

The crowd's minds began to stir again.

Truth or lie?

Is there really a killer among them who has murdered seven people?

Amid yet another round of suspicion and crisis.

A small hand rises, accompanied by a child's voice.

"it's me."

Everyone turned around abruptly, only to see Conan raise his hand.

Although his raised arm trembled slightly, Conan's face no longer showed any confusion.

how come?

The murderer was actually a child?

As everyone grew puzzled, Conan slowly spoke, stepping forward to Monokuma:

“I…found a tranquilizer gun, and learned from their cell phone messages that they were going to the broadcasting room, so I decided to tranquilize them.”

"It was only after I did that I realized that the tranquilizer gun was actually used to kill people."

"But even so, I still killed those seven people."

"..."

Yusaku Kudo looked at Conan, who had voluntarily confessed to his crimes.

Although I felt very uncomfortable, a sense of pride welled up inside me.

He then stepped forward as well.

"Yes, I know about this too."

Yusaku Kudo looked down and smiled at Conan.

“But I concealed it. In another sense, we can be considered accomplices.”

"It was the two of us who killed those seven people together."

Monokuma did not speak.

The way he tilted his head slightly made it seem as if he was wondering why the two of them had stepped forward.

The rest of the people were the same.

It's perfectly fine if they don't admit it. Even if we really suspect them, there are many ways to ensure they get through the next few days safely!

Unable to contain their doubts, everyone asked questions one after another.

"Mr. Kudo, and this boy, why did you have to say it?"

"Yeah, there are no security cameras here, and with the tranquilizer darts, who would know this thing exists!"

"Besides, your original intention was for everyone's benefit; you've just fallen into the trap of this artificial intelligence!"

Conan shook his head and looked at everyone.

"But killing someone is killing someone, and regardless of the cause or the result, there will always be a price to pay."

After saying that, Conan once again showed a carefree smile.

"At the very least, I hope to be like Uncle Mori, to awaken hope in everyone through my own sacrifice."

Upon hearing Conan's words, everyone present widened their eyes.

Even a small child possesses such noble awareness; in contrast, they appear so despicable...

The group exchanged glances and then nodded slightly.

"Hmph, then I'll optimize you two out right now!"

As Monokuma was speaking, one person after another stepped forward, tightly surrounding Conan and Yusaku Kudo.

"No, the murderer is not this child, the real murderer is me."

One person spoke up, and then more people joined in.

His gaze was sharp, and his tone was firm.

"No, the murderer is not this child, the real murderer is me."

"If only we had been able to set aside our suspicions and have been honest and open with each other..."

"Yes, now that things have come to this, we are all murderers of those people."

The black and white bear kept backing away, a hint of panic showing on its face.

"What are you doing? Don't forget I'm your boss, or I'll fire you all!"
