Chapter 489 Just say you have changed your mind or not!
"...You are too cunning, you guys." Conan, who saw what Leon said clearly through the extra split screen and wanted to understand the cause and effect, glanced sideways at the joker who was eating pocky calmly with half a moon, " Didn't you intend to help them from the beginning? The wish you promised them has not been fulfilled. "Isn't that true? We are the Phantom Thieves of the Heart, not Santa Claus. "Crushing a whole pocky with his teeth with relish, Tang Ze stretched lazily and said, "As long as the problem can be solved, we can solve it by dying together..." He patted weakly. Conan raised his forehead and let out a big sigh.
He knew that he shouldn't have any hope for these strange thieves with unusual circuits.
The conflict between the two parties did break out, but after a quarrel, the conflict was ignited in a more acute way.
"The most intense emotions have been vented, the key point of the conflict has been stated, and our hints have been implanted." Stretching himself straight again, Tang Ze was reluctant to let go of the soft and supportive He sat up on the beanbag sofa and said, "I've already killed each other once, and there really isn't much passion left."
"I still have to thank Mr. Kazushi Nakamichi." A magnetic male voice said. Come on, a small door opened on the darkened screen, and the blond Leon walked out of the middle, "If he hadn't set off the fire in time, I would have had to continue acting with my eyes closed. Although this is also an actor's responsibility Self-cultivation, but kissing Horikoshi Yumi is still a bit embarrassing for me."
Karazawa patted his thigh and laughed unabashedly.
Although Leon repeatedly emphasized that he is Karasawa in another sense...
But when it comes to having fun, your own fun is also fun, and you should have fun as you should.
Leon shook his head helplessly, walked closer and knocked on the top of Karasawa's head twice, nodded politely to Noah, who looked well-behaved, and Conan, who looked confused, and then opened the door of the Japanese room. Went out.
Just like the cell door needed to be opened to enter and exit the Velvet Room in P5, in and out of Karasawa's Velvet Bar, even the bartender Leon himself has to open the door.
So he had to leave the game first before he could borrow a way from Karaze.
After Leon, who seemed to ignore him as a matter of course, left, Conan pointed to the door where he went out and wanted to ask about this person's identity.
Is this also a member of their Phantom Thieves? It feels like I have never seen it before.
Could it be that there are any hidden members in their group, or are they adding new ones all the time?
"Okay, okay, it's time to pick up the two lovers who died in love and tidy them up." Before Conan could speak, Tangze clapped his hands, wiped the cookie crumbs off his hands, and then Glancing at Noah.
Noah, who fully understood Karasawa's intention, nodded, then raised his hand and slapped Conan on the face who was about to ask a question.
"Wait, wait a minute!" After his eyesight began to darken, Conan waved his short arms twice in vain, "I, promised to let me play..."
"I know, I know, the game is under maintenance. What do you want to play? I'll let you play when I go back. I won't be a coward. Just lie down." Tangze patted his head and laid down the elementary school student who was starting to lose consciousness. .
After patting his short legs and confirming that the fake primary school student had indeed fallen asleep, Tang Ze made a gesture towards Noah, turned on his mobile phone and sent a message to his teammates who had been fishing all the way in the monitoring room. He broke away from the Kaitou suit and put a helmet on Conan's head.
Although in fact it is not a "holographic game" at all, it is just transported to Noah's house through a different world navigation after knocking people unconscious, it still needs to be installed at least.
It’s a bit outrageous to directly drag people into a holographic game without any peripherals. I should respect everyone’s world view.
So after preparing for Noah to use the holographic game to participate in a reality show about changing his mind, Karasawa quickly got two helmets out - in fact, they were the super-human helmets he pulled out in the Okumura spaceship in the game archive. Realistic technology-style artwork.
After installing the helmet properly, Karasawa tiptoed and carried the limp elementary school student out of the viewing room prepared by Noah.
Watching the team leader carrying the VIP spectators out of his space, Noah silently took a screenshot and sent it to the picture of Karasawa's version of Watson carrying Kudo's new version of Sherlock Holmes in the game. Among the group of Phantom Thieves.
[Ark: [Picture][Picture], just tell me if what I did is very realistic! 】

It wasn't until the picture on the TV went completely dark that the silent tea room was suddenly awakened.
Several people looked at each other in shock, obviously not expecting that the story would have such an extreme ending.
"I, I was a little scared. Has Nakamichi's murderous intention reached this level?" Noriko Ayashiro covered her mouth.
"On this point, Yumi shouldn't give in too much..." Omura Jun adjusted the big glasses on his face, sweat stains looming on his round face.
Mao Lilan, who was not very familiar with the two of them, was not so emotional. She folded her hands on her chest and felt as if she had just watched a thrilling drama. She had more sighs after watching it. .
Before she could say anything, she suddenly noticed the frown on Mouri Kogoro's profile.
"Dad? What's wrong?" She asked in a low voice with concern, reaching out and patting her father's hand that was tightly clenched on his arm.
"Seeing Nakamichi's ferocious murderous intention with my own eyes, I suddenly realized that although he had no chance to carry out the murder plan, his determination to commit the crime was very determined." Mouri Kogoro's face was dark, and there was no A trace of the old classmate's conflict finally found hope of resolution, "In the final analysis, he wanted to commit the horrific crime of murder out of his own selfish desires."
"Kogoro..." After hearing his words, Ayashiro Yukio turned around with a complicated mood, looked at his expression, and tried to comfort him, "Relax a little, there is still opportunity and room for solving their problems, and it has not developed to an irreversible point. It is always a good thing. "
Mouri Kogoro breathed out, his expression did not improve.
Before they could exchange anything more, the Phantom Thieves' logo spun out again in the dark screen.
“Thank you for watching, I hope you like this program.” Noah appeared in the spotlight with a smile, a sincerely happy smile bloomed on Noah’s face, “All the guests and audiences we took away , will be returned in full within the next few minutes, you can just check it at the hot spring hotel."
Bending his eyes, Noah looked at his watch and replied with a smile: "For the sake of it. Don’t let the tragedy we worked so hard to prevent happen again. Remember to take the time. The fireworks at night are beautiful, don’t miss it.”
By the time he finished his last words slowly, the audience in the tea room had already left. Xi, rushed out towards the guest room upstairs.
Showing a playful smile, Noah waved to the room where people were already leaving: "Thank you everyone for participating. The preview was very successful. See you next time!"
————
"Conan, Conan, are you okay, Conan?!"
"Karasawa, Karasawa..."
Hands folded, with a peaceful expression Tangze, who was lying flat on the tatami, waited until Mao Lilan's voice became a little more mixed, and when the call reached the fourth call, he silently counted down to ten, and then slowly opened his eyes.
"Thank God." Seeing Tangze barely opening his eyes as if he was half asleep, Mao Lilan breathed a sigh of relief as he helped Conan sit up.
She has not forgotten the shock they received when Tang Ze suddenly fell into a coma and failed to wake up at the end of the last holographic game.
"Well..." Taking off the helmet on his head, Tangze sat up, turned his head and looked at the other side of the Japanese room.
This is Room 201 of Yumi Horikoshi on the second floor of Benkei Hot Spring Hotel.
While Noah was still there playing the long scene at the end of the credits, Karasawa lined up the two program guests and the elementary school students neatly, put their helmets on, and then he picked a suitable position and stood up straight. Lying down on the ground.
It has to be said that Karasawa's immoral presentation still has a certain effect. When a few people came in, they saw four people uniformly wearing hotel yukata, the boards were placed squarely on the ground. I was also quite frightened.
After confirming that all four people were intact and their vital signs were normal, the few people breathed a sigh of relief and immediately placed the still-unawakened Yumi Horikoshi and Kazushi Nakamichi on the diagonal of the room to prevent them from waking up. Come see each other for the first time, and any bloody conflict will break out again.
At this time, Yumi Horikoshi, who also slowly woke up, shook his heavy head, stared straight ahead for a while, and subconsciously touched the area where the gun hit his abdomen.
Touching the soft cotton and linen fabric of the yukata, she blinked and finally slowly realized what had happened.
She looked around nervously, pushed away Ayashiro Noriko who asked her how she felt, rushed to her handbag, and opened the compartment of the bag with trembling hands. The photo that was originally placed there has been replaced by a red and black notice letter without any surprise.
"People love themselves first, and then love others.
Having evil thoughts and hurting others and yourself, being cautious in your words and deeds is the way to live in the world.
Reality is not a game. If the pistol in Mr. Zhongdao's bag If it is fired, you may not have a chance to wake up again.
I hope you will remember this lesson. As for your twisted desires, we will take them away."
"Yumi. ..." Although she complained to Horikoshi Yumi more or less when she was in the tea room, seeing her old friend sitting there blankly with a pale face, Noriko Ayashiro couldn't bear it and came closer. , patted her collapsed back a few times.
"...Noriko." The excitement caused by adrenaline subsided, and Yumi Horikoshi called out the name of her old classmate next to her, her voice filled with tears, "I, I actually..."
"Bang! "
Before they could finish expressing their feelings, there was a loud noise from another corner of the room.
Seeing the pistols in Nakamichi and Shihuai's arms that had been dismantled into parts by the Phantom Thieves of the Heart, it was finally confirmed that he had indeed made a premeditated murder plan. The unbearable Kogoro Mouri threw him over his shoulder. He fell out and hit the ground hard.
“Uhhhh——!” His back was slapped on the ground, even though it was not a hard tatami. The fall caused Nakamichi Kazushi’s face to twist, and he let out a muffled cry of pain.
"Nakamichi, you are a criminal police officer. Did you receive training in the police academy and pick up a gun to do this kind of thing?" Mouri Kogoro, who had become completely serious, folded his arms and lowered his gaze, looking down steadily. Kazushi Nakamichi, "You are already thirty-eight years old, and we are no longer children. It was the group of monster thieves who pulled you back from the cliff, but it was not you who regretted it. You know what a weak choice you made. "
"Mouri..." Nakamichi Kazushi, who was lying on his back, was stunned for a while, slowly relaxed his shoulders, looked at the bright round light on the ceiling, and let out a long sigh.
The notice letter in his hand was thrown out as Mouri Kogoro beat him, and slid along the lines of the tatami to the corner where Karasawa and the others were.
Conan lowered his head and looked at the notice letter at his feet.
"For your own selfish desires, you turned your gun on the people, are you still worthy of the oath you once made?
When your reason for raising a gun is no longer justified, your heart has already deviated from the path you should take.
In addition, frankness is the foundation of relationships. Relationships obtained through unfair deception will eventually turn into a mess - you must have experienced it yourself.
A week later, these photos will be sent to your residence. I sincerely hope that by then you have dealt with the various effects of this bad relationship.
Your deviation from the right path has been accepted by us. I wish you good luck. "
"So, the people from the Phantom Thieves will send all the photos of Aunt Yumi to Uncle Nakamichi's house in a week?" Mao Lilan, who also saw the content of the letter clearly, couldn't help but ask.
Looking at it this way, even though Kazushi Nakamichi almost caused a tragedy, the Phantom Thieves still seem to be more sympathetic to him morally.
“No, that’s not it.” Kazushi Nakamichi, who was lying on the ground, coughed twice and sighed, “A week from now, it will be my engagement ceremony with Nao... They are saying that if I If I don’t tell Nao about my situation with Yumi, then they will tell me.”
“…That’s pretty cruel.” Conan paused as he looked at the misshapen typeface on the letter. tongue.
The focus of the conflict between the two of them is actually these photos. Taking them away will undoubtedly have the effect of draining the bottom of the cauldron.
However, this would simply make Yumi Horikoshi lose the ability to control the middle path and Kazushi, and it would not fully achieve the effect of playing fifty big games each.
So there was such a notice, telling Zhongdao and Zhi clearly that if you are willing to be decent, then you can be decent. If you don't want to be decent, then don't blame us for helping you be decent.
Everyone was slapped in the face, and the slap was quite loud.
I don’t know if it’s the effect of what joker calls “implanted hints”, or if it’s because the most exciting part has been vented in the game. The pair of enemies who just faced each other with swords and guns, and died together, at this time Although they all turned their heads and didn't look at each other, their mental state was obviously not that exciting anymore, and they were still a little tired.
"...You guys, the content in that game..." After realizing what the others meant, Yumi Horikoshi raised her head in horror, "Did you see them all?!"
"Yes, Aunt Yumi." Looking at this woman who had more or less destroyed some of her idealized characters, Conan grinded her back molars and said loudly, "Why did you even sign an agreement with the Phantom Thieves? They all saw it! I also saw Uncle Nakamichi being tricked by them and attacking the dummy they created!”
After learning that they had completely died in front of their old classmates, Horikoshi Yumi and Nakamichi Kazushi said: "!"
Suddenly they regretted that the dispute just happened in the game. Is it too late to just die together now?
————
“In the end, I really caught up.” Dragging his clogs and walking on the dirt road in the field, Mouri Kogoro glanced at his watch and felt unhappy. He twisted his mouth and said, "I really don't know if they did it on purpose."
Horikoshi Yumi disappeared when she returned to the room around lunch, and Conan and Karasawa who followed to check on the situation also disappeared.
They finished playing in the billiard room at three o'clock and went out to look for Horikoshi Yumi. During this period, Nakamichi Kazushi was also kidnapped by the Phantom Thieves.
Then everyone regrouped at the hotel and watched the whole bloody ethics drama. When the four missing people were neatly arranged in the room, it was only half past five in the afternoon, and the bloody sunset outside the window had not yet set. Completely sinking to the west.
After everyone finished communicating the situation, sorted out their moods, and simply dealt with the follow-up, when they remembered their original schedule, it happened to be exactly six o'clock in the evening when they had planned to go to the festival to watch the fireworks.
I don’t know whether it was the Phantom Thieves who controlled their time well, or whether Yumi Horikoshi and Kazushi Nakamichi cooperated well.
"Isn't this great? If you go at this time, you can still get a good position." Mao Lilan walked side by side with her father on the road with a smile on her face, "Well, this kind of thing can be done well It ends with a grand fireworks... Huh?”
Isn’t this exactly what happened in Dorobika Park?
"I suspect that these guys didn't get a good look at the floats in the park last time, so they deliberately created such an effect." Adjusting the wide cuffs of his yukata, Mouri Kogoro shook his head and said with Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced in the direction of Tang Ze who was falling behind them.
Whenever I think about what happened a few days ago, I will think of Karasawa, a boy who is good at causing trouble...
He is actually a little doubtful now, is the Phantom Thieves staring at him, or... ?
Thinking about it carefully, it seems that not long after Karasawa checked into the coffee shop, the Phantom Thieves' notice letter ran after him, making him worried that if this continues, his client should not Dare to come to the door.
No, that's not entirely correct.
Mouri Kogoro rolled his eyes and looked at Conan from the other side, who was chasing after Karasawa step by step.
If I have to say it, it seems reasonable to say that the Phantom Thieves became active after this brat stayed at his house...
Forget it, we agreed to take these naughty kids with us. We came to recuperate together. Today, we don’t care about these problems.
Unknown to him, Mouri Kogoro, who was walking in front, was carrying a pot with joker written on it, thinking about which of them to throw at it. Karasawa, who was a few steps behind the person in front, was communicating with Conan about this. Holographic game information.
"That helmet is too weird." Thinking of the thing that was more like an exaggerated spacesuit hood than a gaming helmet, Conan touched his chin with a weird look on his face, "And I touched it for a long time and couldn't see anything. It looks like a power cord. Could it be that it has a battery installed?”
What kind of black technology is a holographic gaming helmet that can be powered by a battery?
"How do I know." The Phantom Thief, who had capped each person with his own hands, spoke without blushing and without a beating heart, "I woke up a little later than you."
"Ah. When it comes to this, it seems like the two of us were put in different rooms..." He trailed off, wondering whether he should directly ask Karasawa and Joker about the topic.
If there is anyone in the world who is most likely to solve the joker's problem for him, apart from Haibara Ai who is a bit cryptic in his words and never takes the initiative to reveal key information, it seems that only Karasawa is left. It seemed appropriate to ask him about it.
But he was afraid that if Karasawa hadn't seen the Phantom Thieves, he might be in danger of revealing that he was quite familiar with the Phantom Thieves by speaking like this.
Here Conan was still hesitating. Tang Ze, who understood what he had not finished, blinked and took the initiative to speak.
"You want to ask me if I have seen the Phantom Thief of Heart? Of course I have."
