Chapter 399: Everlasting
"Because of us?" Shiho was puzzled. "Why?"
"It's simple, because of the DNA tracking system created by Hiroki. Also present in my code. And the cocoon is a vector, which happens to have DNA detection. β
"Sure enough? This should be Taiyi's handiwork. I said to Shiho. And Zhibao quickly reacted, this may be another dark line laid by the organization. It's just that they couldn't have imagined that the game platform that Taiyi helped Sindora make would be occupied by artificial intelligence just after it came out.
"I tested the DNA of the bespectacled child, which is recorded in my database, and it should be Shinichi Kudo, who is at least seventeen years old. But I never understood why he had become a child. In the same way, I also discovered that you and the little girl next to you are not normal children. Although the DNA test data is what you look like now, your brain is already older than a normal child, about seventeen or eighteen years old, and you are over thirty years old. I don't even wonder if you've taken some special potion that will bring you back to life. β
"Huh. . . Bingoγγ The corners of my mouth twitched, and I cast a helpless half-moon eye at Noah's Ark.
"So, I began to analyze your body. Noah's Ark continued. "For the sake of the accuracy of the data, I didn't make any balance adjustments to keep your thinking and muscle density as you were. Only then did I find out that you kid is a monster, if I hadn't subconsciously adjusted the data of Jack the Ripper, he might have been defeated by you in the first photo. β
"Why can't I be praised by a system at all? Again, the corners of my mouth twitched.
"So, I hid it from Hiroki and turned on Hard Mode, especially against your presence. Noah's Ark continued. "Because of your presence, the difficulty of the game has increased by a few notches, and it is my fault that I have not been able to bring the game experience that other children deserve, but I can't help but be curious and interested in you. I want to try the temptation. Where is your bottom line. β
"Wow... I don't like boys. Saying that, I also subconsciously hugged Shiho beside me, which provoked Shiho to give me a blank look.
"Haha, I'm just a program, I don't have a gender, it's just that I'm just an artificial intelligence, so I'm interested. Noah's Ark smiled.
"By your words, you're supposed to be an advanced AI program by now, right?" I asked rhetorically. "You said you were interested in me, couldn't you read my memories? β
"Yes, but that requires your cooperation, if you force it to read, it may cause you great damage, which Hiroki will not allow me to do. And I didn't want to hurt you. β
"No wonder. I nodded knowingly.
"Hehe, it's far away. Noah's Ark smiled lightly again. "Anyway, because of your presence, I increased the difficulty, and I'm sorry for causing you a bad gaming experience. I beg your pardon for my willfulness. β
"No, I had a lot of fun. I smiled softly. "Now that I know your purpose, I don't have that much dislike for you, but can you turn the difficulty back? There are only four people left in the game. β
"No, because the original program says that the difficulty will increase until you die. Noah's Ark shook his head, turned his back and didn't dare to look at me, like a child who had made a mistake. "I'm sorry, it's because of my willfulness... β
Bang!
Noah's Ark's words did not fall. A deafening gunshot fell in his ears. Shocked, Noah's Ark turned around, only to see that I was in front of him, and I had already pulled out my pistol and pulled the trigger on my temple.
"I'm dead, so the difficulty of the game can be reduced, right?" I smiled softly as I felt the pain of my brain's confusion and the gloss of data flowing in front of me. "Well, remember to lower the difficulty of the game. Shiho,Please, the matter of victory... β
Bang!
The words were interrupted again, and Shiho directly snatched the gun from my hand and pulled the trigger on his heart.
"If two people die together, the difficulty should be lowered to another notch, right?" Shiho's beautiful eyes trembled slightly. "In that way, Kudo has a better chance of winning, right?"
"You ... Noah's Ark was a little shocked and didn't dare to speak.
"Well... It's just a game anyway. There is nothing wrong with dying once. As she spoke, Shiho made a very incomprehensible operation, and she slowly raised her sense of pain. "Hmm... It hurts so much. β
"What are you doing here?" I asked, somewhat surprised. But before I could say anything more, Shiho, who had already begun to shimmer with data, stretched out his finger and pressed my lips.
"Something, I'm telling you later. β
"Hehe, it looks like you still have something to say. Noah's Ark said with a smile. "Because of your death, the difficulty program has returned to its prime. Thank you for giving me sustenance to my willfulness. β
"Hey, Noah's Ark. Before it disappeared, I hurriedly spoke. "Can you make a separate space for the two of us? I still have something to tell you after the game is over. β
βγγγ All right. I'll teleport you to the original Trials. β
"Well, then, I wish you. Have a nice game with Hiroki. See you later. β
"I'll see you later. β

"Huh, huh~ What a pleasant game trip. "After a brief loss of consciousness, Shiho and I were both transported to the platform where we had originally chosen to play the game, which was empty except for me and Shiho.
"Heh, look at the way you look, you really enjoy it. Shiho lifted me up and helped me to sit down near the stone pillar of the game platform. "But, will Conan win?"
"Rest assured, we have figured out the purpose of Noah's Ark. Even if Conan loses, Noah's Ark will not let Hiroki lose, and the game is a must-win situation from the beginning. I smiled at Shiho. "It's you, why are you all of a sudden... Huh, are you getting serious?"
"Hmph~ I don't know. Shiho chuckled and leaned against me, reaching out and stroking the wound of the data that was still glowing with color at the mouth of his heart. Although Noah's Ark has shielded us from the sense of pain, the wound is still there, and even my broken bones have not been replaced, as if we have been given an anesthetic that does not lose consciousness, but has lost its pain. "Perhaps, you want to experience your daily life in the most authentic way?"
"Huh?" Shiho's sudden gentleness surprised me a little. "How suddenly ... β
"Maybe you're used to it, so you didn't notice. Mr. Knight. Shiho held out his finger and tapped it on my forehead. "This adventure, though it's just a game... But do you feel like we're back in the old days, when you were out there and going through countless dangers, and I could only wait for you back in that cramped room? β
"Huh?" my little eyes filled with big question marks. "Is there one?"
"Da~Ka~La~γγγγ You're used to it. Shiho's cheek suddenly approached, and with a sly gaze, Shiho continued. "I'm used to it, and I've long forgotten that it's a game and immersed myself in it. Right?"
"Uh... "I touched my nose a little embarrassed.
"Actually, it's a good experience. Shiho turned around, but leaned on my shoulder. "Life is very comfortable, which is good, and the occasional thrill seems to be good. It's just that some of your inadvertent actions made me suddenly have an idea, if such a world is real, then what should I do in the current situation?"
"How?"
"I've never fought alongside you. Shiho looked up, his eyes full of tenderness. "This seems to be the first time in fact. β
"I... β
"I know, you just don't want me to get hurt. I can understand it, and I can understand it, so this time, by play. I want to feel what it's like to stand at the same angle as you when you're facing the enemy. Experience what it's like to fight alongside her. β
"Shiho, don't... β
"Don't worry~ I'm not jealous. Shiho rubbed me on the shoulder. "In this way, I can also understand more about Ling's snuggling with you. And, of course, Sister Shizuru. β
"Why do you always feel so vinegar? I chuckled.
"Come less. Shiho's eyes were slightly closed, as if she was enjoying this moment of tranquility. "When we first entered the game, your confrontation with Jack the Ripper showed me why Ling trusted you. Confident, wise, calm. Fighting skills. After that, you were left alone to retrieve supplies for us, to take care of your sister. It made me feel Shizuru's sister's determination to be by your side. While we fought Meng Lang, you were able to withstand everyone's attacks and break off alone. In fact, there was a moment. I also want to stand by your side with a gun and stop the enemy with you. The heartbeat and excitement of that moment. It made me realize that you were right by my side, and that was when I had the urge to make this moment a reality. It's a real feeling. β
"Huh?"
"I thought, if all this is real. What kind of state should I be like when I can fight side by side with you. And what do I do after you have a crisis like the one you just had. So when I didn't pay attention, I became a little childlike and threw myself into the game. Whether it's the crafting of potions, or the shooting of enemies with guns in the back. This reminds me of the kind of training you did to me when you were training Ling and them. β
"That is, my Shiho is not a vase, whether it is a firearm or a fight, it is an excellent asset. I couldn't help but praise, thinking back to the special training I did for Shiho when I was training Ling, thinking about it, it should have been the happiest for us during those days. Although brief, the rest of the time was fraught with danger. But in that environment, it can already be called happiness.
"So... I'm serious. Shiho opened his eyes, and there was a hint of warmth in his blue eyes. "It was a fun experience. It reminds me of those good days. It's just that, my knight, can you stop being so reckless next time. β
"Hee-hee, uh-huh!" said Shiho very happily. Indeed, it's not just her, I'm already immersed in it. If this is true ... Heh, who knows. "But why did you choose to shoot yourself in the end? If it weren't for the fact that we knew that Hiroki wouldn't let the kids lose, maybe it was the right choice for you to stay just now. β
"Maybe it's because of the game. Shiho shook his head. "At that moment, I was just thinking. If you do die... What would I do if it were Ling or Sister Shizuru? When I came back to my senses, the bullet had already pierced my heart. β
"Oh, I don't like your martyrdom. I smiled helplessly.
"At least... Let me be willful this time. Shiho didn't let me continue. Just leaning lazily on my shoulder, "Enjoy this moment of tranquility." It's a rare opportunity to do so. β
"Hmm. I nodded, but my cheek involuntarily leaned towards Shiho. "It's a rare tranquility, and I don't want to be so deserted. β
"Heh, compared to me, you're a wayward guy. Feeling my snort, Shiho's cheeks were slightly hot, his eyes gradually became blurred, his breathing gradually became heavy, and the cheeks of the two people were getting closer and closer.

Knock!
Two muffled voices suddenly sounded in the middle of the platform. The sound caused Shiho to retract like a frightened fawn, leaving me to be awkwardly still in the empty space.
When he looked up with a murderous look, he saw Conan and Zhuxing, who were all dressed in blood red, falling on the platform one after the other. At first, I thought that the two of them were sprayed by some relative, but later I found out that the red had a hint of purple red, and Conan's whole body was covered with this liquid. That's when I realized that it should be the blood-soaked tip that Conan sang at the time. It's putting yourself in a keg.
"Tsk, it's not the right time. I gritted my teeth. Looking at the two people who fell there, I also knew that the game was over, and the victor returned victoriously, but the posture of this return was not very good.
After a few seconds, Conan and Zhuxing stood up, but I couldn't hear the conversation between the two people, probably because Noah's Ark had set up a shielding signal. Maybe Shiho and I are sitting here, and Conan can't see it. It's as if it's separated by a double-sided pane of glass.
Soon, the stars in front of Conan changed their appearance and became an eleven or twelve-year-old boy. Maybe that's what Hiroki was meant to be.
"What are these two talking about?" I sat on the platform and spoke, relieving the awkward atmosphere that Zhibao had just felt.
"Probably Kudo realized that the stars were Noah's Ark, or the identity of Hiroki, and then he was talking about his reasoning process with a clear mind. The interruption just now made Shiho not very happy, and he couldn't help but become a little unhappy.
"Then why can't these two see us?"
"Maybe that's the difference between Noah's Ark and Hiroki, right?" Shiho thought for a moment. "Noah's Ark seems to be more interested in us than Hiroki. And all this, perhaps because Noah's Ark did not want anyone other than us to know. β
"Well, that makes sense. I nodded. "But fortunately, Conan won the game. But it seems that Xiaolan has also been sacrificed. β
"Kudo's personality is not going to give up or sacrifice your sister. The corners of Shiho's mouth raised slightly. "It should be your sister who sacrificed herself. β
"Ah, she's that kind of character. The good is like a pure lamb. has always been friendly to people, and I don't know how many bad people in this world want to make her into a steamed lamb. But ah, because of this, I, as an elder brother, have the obligation to keep this kindness all the time. It was to atone for his own sins. β
"You could have been better, too. Shiho said softly. "After all of us have escaped from this cage, I firmly believe that one day, we can return to the sun. β
"Ahh Definitely. I tightened my arms around Shiho. But I saw that Conan had already walked towards a portal opened by Hiroki at this time. "Looks like they're done. β
"Well, it's our turn. As he spoke, Shiho sat up and helped me up.
"Don't move, I'll help you recover. Hiroki, who seemed to feel our movements and was looking at Conan's departing figure from afar, suddenly turned around and said. Then he waved his hand. The brilliance of Shiho's data disappeared in an instant, and the leg I had just twisted regained consciousness in the next second.
"Oh, it's so convenient. "I moved my body and found myself back to normal. Then he put down the hand on Shiho's shoulder and walked towards Hiroki with Shiho.
"Honestly, I still want to thank you guys, because your presence made me very happy this gaming experience. Thank you. When we first met, I was Hiroki. Hiroki reached out and shook it at me. "The Ark has told me about you. Seems you still have something to say. β
"Ah, there's something I want to settle with Noah's Ark. I nodded. "Of course, you can also sit in on it. β
"No, I'm not the same as Noah's Ark. Hiroki shook his head. "I can probably guess what you want to talk about with Noah's Ark. β
"Ah, I almost forgot, your brain is very developed. I hammered my palm. "In that case, I'll open the skylight and say something. Hiroki, I guess you're going to leave after this incident. β
"Yes, I'm going to go to my dad's side. Hiroki's face was a little sad. "Although my father was killed by Sindora, Conan, no, Kudo Shinichi and his father have avenged me and my father and found out the murderer. My meaning in this world no longer exists. An AI program like mine shouldn't have appeared. At least not in this day and age. β
"Don't say that, you just haven't found a suitable environment to live in. I patted Hiroki on the shoulder. "Let's call Noah's Ark out together. β
"Good. As he spoke, Hiroki moved his fingers, and beside us, another Hiroki quietly appeared, the difference is that this Hiroki's eyes are not deep, but a green data stream, perhaps for the sake of difference.
"Okay, now that everyone is here, I'll get straight to the point. "I've settled on the way of God. "Both, I now formally extend an invitation to you. Are you interested in visiting my island? β
