It is different from the kind of court debate game in which the identity of the murderer is already known roughly at the beginning, but the real criminal has to watch the real criminal bluff through the market without any flaws, and in the process, continue to collect evidence according to the established direction, and finally reveal the truth. In the reality that Kudo Shinichi is in, most cases require step-by-step investigation and evidence production before the real culprit can be gradually found out.

Before knowing the truth, every step forward is meaningful, whether it is guesswork or trial and error, it is just to take a step closer to see the truth in the fog more clearly.In this process, any cheating behavior in advance is like a violation of the established pace, which easily disrupts what he considers "reality".

But now the situation is clearly...

For the first time since he was used to putting the login game at the top of the daily free time division, Kudo hesitated when facing the still dark computer screen.

"GeminiWar" is an RPG-style adventure game featuring two-player cooperation.

In other words, the one who has been talking to him these days is not the program or the copywriter of the game producer, but a flesh and blood who is also standing in front of the computer screen like him, can breathe and think. people.Although he also had speculations in this regard before, but without full evidence, all hypotheses can only be untouchable castles in the air.

It's this elusive "unreachable" that makes everything interesting.

Kudo feels that he is now facing this mystery novel spread out, and the densely packed text has begun to blur due to the age.However, someone marked all the clues related to the main line with the most conspicuous marks on the severely worn and even unrecognizable typeface, making all guesses and conjectures seem ridiculous.

There is not even a little room for independent thinking and reasoning, which is really a terrible spoiler.

"That is to say, did you push to the middle half of Chapter 2 with your teammates in the ghost state?!" After hearing the specific description of Kudo's personal "game experience", the passer-by named Yamada looked surprised The level is no less than that day when I saw him buy the keyboard that not everyone can buy easily.

"It's too much to say 'teammate'..." The so-called teammates should be the relationship of fighting side by side, and both sides are players.Even if one of the parties is more inclined to provide tactical planning, it is impossible to form a simple relationship between control and obedience.

"Wait, wait," Yamada finally came to his senses, "If Kudo, you don't know that this is a two-player game... then your teammates are miserable?" Players who have experienced the difficulty of the game may not be difficult to understand , to challenge the difficulty of the two-player level with the combat power of a single player.Although the fit between the two sides greatly affects the efficiency, but with the operational ability of most people, it is not too ugly to lose when the combat power is x2.

"Single-player battles in two-player mode...?" Recalling the bitter battles he encountered in the game recently, Kudo finally realized that the lingering sense of disobedience since entering Chapter 2 Where did it come from.

The unscientific increase in the difficulty factor and the strange angle in terms of tactical requirements all made him feel that the game was "missing something".Now that I think about it, the answer is obvious.

another player.

"It's possible to break into Chapter 2 with only one person. How powerful is that person... Let me tell you, Kudo!" After recovering from his personal thoughts, the voice of the passer-by suddenly raised his voice.

"Yes?"

"You have to apologize to others!"

"…What?"

"Be sure to apologize," Yamada's tone didn't sound like he was joking, "You have already reached this point and yet you haven't complained... Your teammate must be a very nice person with a super good temper."

Although it made me want to "apologize"... In the end, Kudo couldn't help but turned on the computer and folded his arms, his eyes followed the rolling white letters on the black background.

Obviously that guy is also super willful, whether he complains or complains, he is not polite.

Kudo, who excused himself in this way, deliberately avoided the role he played in this "game".The whole process of doing nothing on the sidelines, the language that is not so polite for the sake of probing, and those topics that completely ignore the game itself...

"I didn't intend to rely entirely on you from the beginning, did I?"

The words said by "that guy" on the screen suddenly flashed in his mind, and Kudo felt his heart stop beating for a second at that moment.

What, that "I know everything" way of speaking...

"Detective, your operation is really a disaster."

What kind of operations are you complaining about? That guy was just watching a joke from the beginning.Whether it is pretending to follow a position that is not "operation" at all, or asking for "free movement" in a serious manner... From this perspective, the person on the other side of the screen is also typing on the keyboard. "Black Feather" is also a very bad bystander.

But... After thinking about it again and again, he started the game. For this habitual action of automatically bypassing the balance of pros and cons, Kudo felt deeply helpless in his heart.I was just facing a game interface that strictly speaking had no control objects, and performed a series of meaningless operations. If so, I would still feel tired.How will that "Black Feather" who has been fighting alone from the beginning to the end feel?

"Just tired, tired! Do you understand?"

That's it, that guy has been complaining since such an early time.Randomly thinking about it, the game loading has been completed.As usual, Kuroba was already waiting there.For a moment, Kudo didn't know how to type today's opening remarks.

Do I need to ask as usual, or do I want to express my sincere and deep apology to the other party as planned?

"The moment you hesitate, you've already lost, detective."

Closing his eyes anxiously, Kudo cleared those random thoughts from his mind, and started today's "communication" with the same words as usual.

"Didn't you wait long?"

"Please teach me more today."

What the hell happened today...

Kuroba, who didn't participate in club activities as usual, and didn't wander around the shopping street on the way home, also waited in front of the computer early today.

"It's so slow, Detective..." Jian Jian finished his dinner with cup noodles as the staple food, Kuroba dangling his legs boredly in front of the table with a small plastic fork in his mouth.Even if Jiang Gutian's and Didan's work and rest schedules are slightly different, at this point in time, normal people should have finished their daily chores.

Could it be another case... After throwing the plastic fork and cup noodle bucket into the kitchen, Kuroba ran to turn on the TV.No news on any station broadcasts news about vicious events, and today's world remains chaotic and calm as always.

"Ah, even if you're not online, let me know in advance—" After turning off the TV, Kuroba threw himself onto the sofa, and let out a completely unrealistic exclamation on his back.It's just that if you wait blindly like this, all the time that can be used will be wasted.

With an upside-down view, Kuroba stared at the calendar on the wall.

I obviously have more important things to do...

Thinking of this, even the sound of the gears engaging inside the clock as the second hand turns seems like a kind of irony to him.That's right, for the famous detective whose reality is rich enough to be written into a novel, the game is simply an insignificant detail in life, and there is no need to spend all of his energy on it.

But he himself had to wait here needlessly.

Practical action and unexpected events are the best way to interrupt cranky thoughts.With the sound of the reminder that his teammates are online, Heiyu's nearly one hour wait finally came to an end.Although the investment of time is completely out of proportion to the return, he can't even complain now.

"Please teach me more today."

Hey, something bad must have happened today.Facing the speech on the screen with neither the tone nor the psychological state of the other party, Hei Yu could truly feel the chilling aura coming from behind the words.

Has the famous detective used this kind of polite greeting before?
