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

Qi Ming gestured towards the space within the crevice, indicating that they should go inside.

The group exchanged bewildered glances, thankfully their respirators had temporarily silenced the words they wanted to utter.

Otherwise, they would all rush to ask Qi Ming:

Is Ning a true poet?

……

The group carefully crawled into the crevice of the rock wall. To describe the feeling inside the rock wall in one sentence:

At first he was extremely narrow, but only then did he understand people.

The deeper you go, the less sunlight can get in from the outside.

Qi Ming took out a flashlight and, following the navigation in his eyes, led the group through the cavern.

After swimming another ten meters or so, everyone felt a little tired.

Mainly because I'm tired.

Just then, Qi Ming looked up and shone his flashlight upwards.

Where the light shines, one can already vaguely see the slight ripples on the water's surface.

The exit is just around the corner.

The group mustered all their strength and swam upwards. As their bodies gradually rose to the surface, one by one they poked their heads out of the water.

This appears to be an underwater rock cave.

The group removed their diving masks, and the cave air inside wasn't too thin, allowing them to breathe in the fresh air deeply.

Ai Haibara curiously examined the cave. The rocky path inside was surprisingly smooth, with hardly any protruding rocks.

but……

One rock confirms it: this cave is clearly man-made.

That's normal, since the treasure was placed there by humans, and the location must have been specially made by people in the past.

"I never expected there would be a cave hidden here..."

Ran Mouri exclaimed, her eyes wide with amazement.

Sonoko Suzuki and Professor Agasa, who were standing nearby, also took a few deep breaths and then excitedly circled around, curiously touching the stone wall.

The diving instructor also mentioned that many official teams had come to this area to conduct investigations.

However, based on what we have seen so far, this place does not appear to have any traces of human activity.

I suspect they were all drawn to the palace the diving instructor mentioned and overlooked the island.

The wolf feigned sleep to lure the enemy; a clever tactic.

"Come on, everyone, come over here and stand by the pool to take a picture and check in."

Qi Ming waved to the crowd. If it weren't for the fact that he didn't have the little red flag in his hand, he would look like a tour guide.

The group turned to look at Qi Ming, staring blankly at the camera that had suddenly appeared in his hand.

Sonoko Suzuki frowned and circled around Qi Ming.

She wondered why the clothes didn't have any pockets.

The group tidied their hair and clothes a bit in front of the pool, smiled at the camera, and temporarily forgot about what had just happened.

"Okay, that's all, let's call it a day."

With the sound of the shutter clicking and the flash going off, Qi Ming put the camera away after taking the picture.

Sometimes the system will issue tasks such as taking photos and checking in.

Qi Ming had become accustomed to these photo-taking and check-in tasks that would occasionally appear in some inexplicable places.

Although the rewards for completing these tasks are only small, they still add to the exploration progress in the encyclopedia.

"Mr. Qi Ming, actually I wanted to ask about what happened earlier..."

After everyone had calmed down a bit, Ran Mouri bit her lip, hesitated for a moment, and then asked:

"What exactly happened just now? Was it just that you chased the shark away, Mr. Qi Ming?"

As soon as Ran Mouri raised her question, it immediately resonated with Sonoko Suzuki and Professor Agasa, who were standing nearby.

"Yes, Mr. Qi Ming, we all saw you chase the shark away with just a stick!"

Faced with the curious gazes of the crowd, Qi Ming remained silent for a moment before speaking in a serious tone:

"Since you all feel something's not right, then I have no choice but to admit it. Actually..."

Ai Haibara, who was listening in, raised an eyebrow and sighed softly.

This guy kept saying things like, "This is a game, those are props, and I forgot the rest."

I should think about what reasons I should come up with to help Qi Ming make amends later.

Otherwise, he would be considered a lunatic.

Then, Qi Ming continued speaking.

"Actually, I am a magician, and what I just saw was a magic tool."

"……Um?"

Ai Haibara looked at Qi Ming in surprise.

Dude, your answer doesn't match what I expected at all.

"A magician?"

The three of them repeated Qi Ming's words in a daze, and then they saw Qi Ming suddenly take out a gem.

The gem was thrown, and a fireball was immediately released, illuminating the cave.

"..."

Ran Mouri and Sonoko Suzuki felt that their worldviews had been severely impacted.

However, Professor Agasa was the one who questioned life even more.

magic?

What's going on?

……

After a while, Qi Ming demonstrated his magic to the three of them again, and then they followed Qi Ming's steps to move forward through the cave.

Ran Mouri, Sonoko Suzuki, and Professor Agasa all looked somewhat dazed.

They were still immersed in the so-called magic that Qi Ming had just displayed, and were unable to come back to their senses for a long time.

Ai Haibara frowned as she watched Qi Ming's back, then quickened her pace to stand beside him.

With her jewel-like eyes filled with curiosity, Ai Haibara asked:

"What's wrong with you? Have you been possessed by something unclean?"

"..."

Upon hearing this, Qi Ming immediately turned his head and glared fiercely at Ai Haibara.

"Are you polite?"

Ai Haibara gave a nonchalant hum.

"But your answer just now surprised me a bit."

"An accident?" Qi Ming scratched his head.

What went wrong?

"Cough cough!"

Ai Haibara coughed lightly twice, put her hands on her hips, and tilted her head back slightly.

She squinted slightly, a faint smile playing on her lips, and said in a sweet voice:

"That was my game prop, you know? This place is actually a game!"

hiss~

Hearing Ai Haibara's affected words and exaggerated actions, Qi Ming immediately felt uncomfortable.

"So pretentious, so Tang, are you some kind of demon in Jiangxi?"

Ai Haibara's face flushed slightly, but she still glared fiercely at Qi Ming before regaining her serious expression and replying:

“I was just imitating how you usually act. Normally, that’s how you would explain it to Ran and the others.”

Qi Ming suddenly stopped in his tracks.

Do I sound so Tang when I speak?

"Yes."

Ai Haibara answered with a resounding affirmation.

"..."

After pondering for a moment, Qi Ming ultimately chose to escape.

Let's change the subject.

Qi Ming said to Ai Haibara:

"Should I find you a doctor?"

"Ok?"

Ai Haibara frowned and looked at Qi Ming with a puzzled expression.

"What do you mean?"

Qi Ming said in a very serious tone:

"It is said that imitating other people's words and actions is a behavior of cubs..."

"I now strongly suspect that the medication you're taking has severely affected your brain."

Ai Haibara was stunned for a moment, then her expression changed instantly, staring at Qi Ming with shame and indignation.

"……What did you say!"

"Anxious."

Qi Ming grinned slyly, raised his hands, pointed at Ai Haibara with his fingers, and after a while said:

"Anyway, no one would believe me if I said it, so I'm too lazy to say it again. Besides, you see, they have a pretty good impression of me, so I can't ruin their image of me."

Qi Ming answered casually, a panel faintly appearing in his eyes.

The version update progress inexplicably changed to 16.1%.

"And it seems like other people are helping me update the version now. I don't know how it happened, but I guess it's because they are natives, so more people will believe them."

Ai Haibara didn't quite understand what Qi Ming meant, but she was too lazy to ask.

She was somewhat sullen and also had some self-doubt.

Could it really be due to the side effects of drug A?

Does shrinking the body lead to a continuous decline in mental capacity?

No no no, absolutely impossible!

I was completely led astray by this childish person next to me!
