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

Chapter 499: This level tests your courage and skill.

Qi Ming took his phone, switched to the rear camera, and looked around the entire room.

Just when he and the audience were getting a little bored and wondering why the escape room hadn't started yet.

The large iron gate in front of them suddenly opened, and then Emiya Masayoshi's voice came through the hidden speaker in the room.

“The three of you, I am the judge.”

Qi Ming reconnected to the monitoring system and saw that Vermouth and Shinichi Kudo had woken up.

Then, Masayoshi Emiya began to read his opening remarks.

It was exactly what he had written in the monitoring room just now.

After finishing his opening remarks, perhaps considering that these three people had all seen the videos he sent to the police, Emiya Masayoshi spoke simply and directly.

"The three of you, do you choose to proceed with the trial? Make your choice now."

Qi Ming didn't speak; he just watched with great interest the reactions of Shinichi Kudo and Vermouth on the monitor.

Because both of their expressions revealed a deep sense of confusion.

Shinichi Kudo just wants to know how he became a black hole?

When did he ever use violence against prisoners...?

Oh, I think so. When I shrink, I do often kick people until they're unconscious.

But he was acting in self-defense, okay?

As for the blood on his hands, Shinichi Kudo always suspected that the other person was referring to the events in the Cocoon game.

Shinichi Kudo really couldn't refute this.

Although it is possible to refute it.

What does it have to do with Shinichi Kudo if Conan Edogawa kills someone?

But he still didn't have that kind of heart. Although it was Qi Ming who did it, it was still a thorn in his side.

Meanwhile, Vermouth also looked bewildered.

She felt no remorse for her crimes; what confused her was what Emiya Seigi had said about the allure of sainthood.

Am I really that amazing?

Emiya Masayoshi smiled with satisfaction as he looked at the expressions on Shinichi Kudo and Vermouth's faces on the screen.

The truth is the most hurtful, and clearly, his opening remarks were very well prepared.

"If you are willing to be judged, step through the door before you."

Upon hearing this, the three of them, though separated by rooms, all walked out of the iron gate at the same time.

There is only one passage outside the iron gate, and on both sides of the passage, dozens of rusty pipes form the walls, giving it a gloomy feel.

click -

The three of them walked forward along the passage, and with each step they took, an iron door would descend from the ceiling behind them, blocking their retreat and forcing them to continue forward.

After about ten seconds, as they rounded a corner, the passage was blocked by an iron gate.

"Welcome to the first of the six realms, the Hell Realm."

Emiya Seigi's voice rang out, and then the iron gate slowly opened.

Before me was an ordinary passage, about a hundred meters long, with walls on both sides that were just normal cement walls.

Strangely, at intervals, numerous holes can be clearly seen in the walls, ceilings, and floors.

But some places don't have it, a strange design.

Shinichi Kudo and Vermouth hesitated for a moment before stepping into the passage.

As the two men landed, the iron gate behind them slammed shut, and at the same time, intense flames suddenly blazed in their eyes.

boom--

Suddenly, powerful flames erupted from the surrounding holes, illuminating the entire passage.

Even though they were several meters away from the flames, Vermouth and Shinichi Kudo couldn't help but show surprise, their backs pressed tightly against the iron door.

The flames lasted for a while before dissipating.

At that moment, Vermouth and Shinichi Kudo also noticed an open iron gate outside the 100-meter passage.

Clearly, that door is the exit from this hellish realm.

In the same passageway at different locations, both Vermouth and Shinichi Kudo cautiously refrained from moving forward.

Since someone was able to get through this trap, it means there must be some pattern to the eruption of the flames.

While luck might play a role, it probably isn't that significant.

At this moment, both intellectually gifted players were racking their brains.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Qi Ming...

He did not step through the iron gate.

Perhaps it was because he didn't go inside that the flames in his passage didn't burst out from those holes.

He simply stood there and interacted with the comments that floated across the screen.

[Host, they're already telling you to go in, why aren't you going in yet?]

After glancing at a comment on his phone, Qi Ming leaned against the falling iron gate behind him and sighed.

"Guys, this is where the mechanical escape room design failed."

"Look, I'm already stuck."

【? ? 】

Seeing the barrage of question marks on the screen, Qi Ming knew what these people were thinking.

What does it mean to get stuck?

You haven't even entered the level!

Qi Ming shook his head and began to explain.

“Look, the road behind me is blocked, and there’s only this one passage in front of me.”

"As I just said, this is a mechanical escape room with no NPCs, so if I just get stuck here and don't move, they can't do anything to me, and the game won't proceed."

For a moment, no one posted any comments.

This seems to be the case.

After all, offline games and online games are different.

If you're not going to leave online, fine, leave if you want. If you're so capable, then don't play at all.

But offline games.

You paid to get in, every second costs money. If you're stuck here and don't leave, then there's obviously a design flaw.

"..."

In the monitoring room, Emiya Masayoshi, who was watching Qi Ming standing still, suddenly understood after hearing Qi Ming's words through the audio.

He had pre-programmed all the programs for the trap house, and once it started, he couldn't move it or actively go in to interfere.

Unless he manually stops the traphouse from operating.

The reason he dealt with those criminals in stealth mode was because they hadn't even left the house yet, and the trap room hadn't officially started operating.

but now……

Vermouth and Shinichi Kudo have already entered the pre-arranged process, and he can only watch from here.

After all, he couldn't possibly shout into the microphone like a control room operator telling Qi Ming to hurry up and go in, could he?

"If it were me, I would add a time limit here, specifying how much time is required to get through here."

"When the time is up, if you don't get into the door on the other side, you'll fail and there will be a big explosion or something."

Just as Emiya Masayoshi was thinking about how to handle the situation, Qi Ming's voice came again.

Emiya Masayoshi's eyes lit up; he understood.

That makes sense; he should add a time condition here!

"..."

Emiya Masayoshi was already considering whether to temporarily suspend the operation of the trap room and add some conditions to it.

However, if we change it this way, other related things will also need to be changed...

numb.

It seems I can only wait for those two to die before I can deal with that person myself.

Although some of them don't conform to my own rules.

Outside the path of hell.

Although Qi Ming had found the bug here, he was only talking about it and couldn't actually stand there.

What's the point of letting the guys in the live stream just stand there watching you? Are you really going to let him become a good-looking streamer?

"Guys, I'll talk to the staff about this loophole later. Anyway, let's go inside first."

As Qi Ming spoke, he finally stepped into the Hell Passage.

Beneath the iron gate, the same intense flames surged forth from the holes.

[This flame looks so realistic!]

[Yeah, it even looks like the light is distorted, like real fire.]

Qi Ming looked around at the fire vents and smiled as he spoke into the live stream.

"My darlings, do you know how to get through this level?"

Upon hearing Qi Ming's words, the viewers in the live chat speculated that the flame eruptions must follow some kind of pattern.

For example, observe the location or number of holes, or what clues might be present in the surrounding area.

Qi Ming shook his head as he looked at the comments and said in a serious tone.

"No, actually I've already figured it out. This challenge is testing your courage."

"As the saying goes, rebirth comes from fire, so all we have to do is ignore the flames and walk right through!"

【……ah?】

The chat was filled with question marks, but Qi Ming didn't reply and simply strode forward.

boom!

Just as he stepped into the hole, the surrounding flames instantly enveloped him.
