The Phantom Thief of Heart! But Conan

"Do you feel any special feeling?" Repeating Karasawa's question, Noah held his round head and said in a very confused voice, "I don't feel anything. It's no different from before the game started."

"Hmm..." After holding the doll in his hand and twisting it around for a few times, Karasawa thought for a moment and changed the question, "What do you think of the two new players, Kazushi Nakamichi and Yumi Horikoshi? ?”

"My thoughts..." Noah, who was caught by Karasawa, didn't struggle. He grabbed onto Karasawa's circled fingers and looked at the deep sky outside the terrace. "I have never imagined such a far-reaching thing before, love." Ah, marriage and the like. It’s too complicated and has nothing to do with me. But when I look at the two of them, I can’t help but have some distracting thoughts.”

"For a young electronic life, I'm really curious about what the human gender relationship means. Tell me?" In a gentle guiding tone, Karasawa held Noah's hand and placed it on it. On the railing of the balcony, I watched the night outside the window with him.

The late night sky is quiet and endless. Looking ahead, the dense stars reach to the skyline and are connected with the distant city lights, as if the stars flow all the way to the human world.

Karasawa, who listened quietly to Noah's narration, couldn't help but sigh, it was a suitable scene for talking about some philosophical speculations, it was quite appropriate.

"The topic of human relationships is so profound and complicated that I don't understand it yet. But looking at these two people, I can't help but imagine that if their relationship didn't completely break down and reach the point of bloodshed, they would Will they choose to get married like this, live step by step, and raise a few children like ordinary couples do..."

At this point, Noah let out an old-fashioned sigh.

"What kind of family will their children grow up in? Will they be like Hiroki, whose parents have divorced due to conflicts before they reach adulthood, and then encounter various problems? Just think about it, Hiroki It seems that tragedies like this will happen countless times, and I will have mixed emotions."

Although the culprit who caused Hiroki's tragic death was undoubtedly Thomas Syndora, who packaged himself with hypocrisy and held Hiroki's custody rights in his hands, the struggle Hiroki experienced in society was not just his. question.

What role does family play in Hong Shu's limited life?

"If the two of them have children...then they will definitely encounter problems. However, even a happy and serious loving family will have many problems." Tang Ze pointed at himself and then at Referring to the darkened room of the Maori family, "Among our group, Kudo is the only one who has no family problems. However, his family is in a different situation. Like his parents, he spends less time together and more separation. There are many reasons that shape destiny, and family of origin can only be counted as one of them."

"Is that so?" Noah tilted his round head, "That's right. Your parents and sister Mingmei's parents actually love you very much, but you still encountered a lot of setbacks in your childhood."

"Yes, education and growth are problems that will accompany people throughout their lives. But then again, there are so many problems in people's lives. Most of them have no standard answers, and some people even end their lives. I will never be able to answer it for myself in my whole life." Rubbing Noah's soft head that felt good, Tang Ze smiled, "Although they claim that you can have intelligence five times the growth rate of human beings, on these issues , you, like your creator, are only children."

"Hmm... It's so complicated. I feel like it's overloaded." Noah sighed again, "It's so complicated to become a human being."

Karasawa glanced at his furry fabric and nodded inwardly.

It's really complicated.

After all, Hiroki Sawada, who "fed" Noah's Ark with his own memories and emotions, is himself a person who has not yet integrated well into society.

Noah, who is based on him, is almost naturally in the position of a bystander. The real reason for its existence is to fulfill Hiroki's legacy and witness the world freely for Hiroki who cannot be free.

Like enlightening a confused child, Tangze spoke in a very gentle tone: "The growth process of human beings is not much better than yours. I think if you contact more people and observe more people, you will definitely come up with a conclusion. The answer.”

"Is it because I haven't observed enough or understood enough?" Noah asked seriously, looking up at Tang Ze's face.

"You are a being trained based on Hiroki's memory and experience. Your perspective on observing the world is destined not to be very mature and comprehensive. You have indeed obtained a lot of information on the Internet, but that is only the human side. The voices and emotions amplified by the Internet are still far from real human beings." Karasawa nodded, and did not forget to express his kindness, "However, this is a good thing. It means that you will act like a real child. , measure the world with both hands and feet, truly grow up, truly grow up.”

Noah relaxed a little, rested his head on Karasawa's fingers, and looked at the night sky quietly.

"It sounds like it's pretty good."

Squeezing Noah's small round hand encouragingly, Tang Ze suggested maliciously, "Just like the little dwarf next door, he is a good research sample. Isn't he crying and wanting to play games? You Make good arrangements for him."

Noah, who had not understood part of Karasawa's subtext until now, turned his head strangely and said in realization: "Oh, so you recommend that I create more scenes and organize more programs like this?"

I tried to comfort him like a gentle brother for a long time, but in the end my true purpose was revealed.

Without any embarrassment at being exposed, Tang Ze nodded calmly and generously: "Yes, you have gained experience and growth, and I have gained lusty stones and fun. It's a win-win situation, a win-win situation."

The question of desire stone is an unexpected surprise.

I don’t know whether it is related to the judgment that Noah’s space is also a kind of palace, or whether it is because they broadcast it live to others and made some strange judgment by accident. In short, this kind of gameplay is actually useful. What Tangze produced was unexpected.

Although they did not beat up the shadows of Yumi Horikoshi and Kazushi Nakamichi, nor did they take anything from them, but with the successful implantation of hints, after the two people gave up those twisted extreme emotions one after another, Karasawa Brooch The stone began to grow on it.

Like bamboo shoots sprouting up, the damage is very fast. It is not as effective as stealing the secret treasure of the palace directly, but it is much better than simply beating the shadows.

Perhaps this method is more technically difficult. Tang Ze doesn't quite understand how to determine this. There is no need to be so clear about cognitive learning.

But in short, it is always a good thing to increase output, not to mention other fun that will accompany this process.

Mutual benefit, harmony and win-win, this Noah's theater is a beautiful thing.

"Hmm, it sounds like you want to do something bad again, leader."

It seems that Karasawa is no longer satisfied with the job of beating up the shadows, and also wants to make the guys who fall into his hands die on a larger scale in society.

After a hypocritical moment of silence for the next person who would fall into Karasawa's hands, Noah couldn't help but get excited.

This is indeed much more interesting than being a pure intelligent assistant... Well, no, this is indeed a better way to realize his self-worth than being a pure intelligent assistant.

"Oh, how can you say it's a bad thing? I'm not doing this for them, right?" After winking, Tangze showed a happy smile that showed a successful prank, stretched out his fist, and touched Noah's small round hand. Touched.

The moment his skin came into contact with Noah's velvet hand, the sound of the chain breaking filled Karasawa's hearing again.

Leon's voice rang out.

【rank up! Rank 2]

[Your "Noah's Ark" has grown slightly]

[An appearance that is different from humans, a mind similar to humans, and the same desires as humans... This may be the most ideal form of strong artificial intelligence in the minds of many people.

But maybe the artificial intelligence itself doesn’t think so, right?

The future is in your hands. Hold him tightly, take him out of trouble, take him to the end, and see the world in the future. 】

"Do you still need to say this?" Tang Ze tightened his fingers and held the puppet nestled in his palm, and smiled expectantly.

In fact, not only the weight has changed, but what Noah himself didn't notice is that his voice, which was originally full of electronic synthesis, has become more human than before, and the cadence of his tone and the conveying of emotions are more clear. .

Tangze himself is also very curious and looking forward to what kind of form artificial intelligence can be developed in such a strange environment.

"Go skiing?" After packing his things, he followed the three of them and stood at the front desk of the hotel to check out. Karasawa raised his eyebrows, "Is it Suzuki-san's request?"

"That's right." Mao Lilan, who had not slept well, rubbed her eyes listlessly and said sleepily, "Yuanzi made a fuss on the phone for a long time yesterday and told me to ask you to go with me... If you don't agree, She’s going to hold you and cry.”

Yesterday, after I received the photos taken by Conan and saw Karasawa in kimono and the fireworks and group photos taken by several people, I immediately regretted that I didn't follow along to join in the fun. Suzuki Sonoko screamed on the phone for a long time.

Not to mention, the novel Noah’s Ark game live broadcast.

Suzuki Sonoko, who experienced how interesting holographic games can be, was so sour that she almost dropped her pearls. According to Mao Lilan, Conan and Karasawa were worried about Horikoshi Yumi's safety and went upstairs to find someone in advance, so they were stopped by the Phantom Thieves. They were kidnapped and kidnapped together, so they had the special experience of sitting together with the Phantom Thieves watching the live broadcast, which made them howl like ghosts and wolves.

"If I were here, I would definitely follow Karasawa and be taken away together..." imagining that scene, Suzuki Sonoko's tone became much more dreamy, "Ah, due to the accidental encounter with the Phantom Thieves, The girl who was taken away by the Phantom Thieves... Oh my God, it feels wonderful just thinking about it..."

"Well, but you haven't seen what the members of the Phantom Thieves look like yet..." Mao Lilan, who would still be defeated by Sonoko's next nymphomaniac, yawned and smiled bitterly, no matter how many times he was taught.

"They must be handsome guys and beauties!" Suzuki Sonoko opened her eyes and said matter-of-factly, "Didn't we meet several of them during the last holographic game?"

"However, some of them are also masked. The woman among them did use the face of Miss Miyano Akemi for a while, but that doesn't mean she is that beautiful herself..." Mao Lilan tried to dissuade her.

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible! I am extremely confident in my ability to identify handsome men and beautiful women!" Sonoko Suzuki, who resolutely defends Yango's dignity, said categorically.

In short, the very unwilling Suzuki Sonoko pulled Mao Lilan and asked her to recount the magical experience of the day. She called her until very late and hung up reluctantly.

Mao Lilan, who had consumed a lot of energy due to the many encounters on this day, couldn't sleep well now, and she still feels dizzy.

"It's okay to ski, but I've never been to a ski resort, so maybe I'm not very good at it..." Of course, Tangze, who couldn't refuse, said modestly in order not to appear too eager.

"It doesn't matter. If you don't know how to ski, Yuanzi might be happier." Mao Lilan, who knows her best friend very well, said without hesitation.

After all, now there was a reason to support Tang Zejiao.

Although Sonoko seemed to have given up all other thoughts about Karasawa - she also remembered that she saw Sonoko and Karasawa standing on the street in a serious and subtle atmosphere, as if they were having a showdown - but the objective reality is that Karasawa is a very good person. Jun, a bit of a baby-faced handsome guy.

Yuanzi must be very happy to have the opportunity to hang out with handsome guys, even to have sex with him.

"Then, how do you want to get there? Are you driving?" Although he already had an idea, Tang Ze still asked cautiously.

No matter how you think about it, it's almost done. If they want to drive away, there is a high probability that the bus will be hijacked and they will have to wait a little longer.

"No, this time Sonoko wants to take the bus." As expected, Mao Lilan gave the answer that Karasawa expected, "After all, Dr. Ali seems to want to invite those children to play together, so if that's the case, arrange the bus. On the contrary, it is not as convenient as taking the bus directly.”

"So, can I invite Xiao Ai?" After calming down for a while, Tang Ze began to make plans to meet her.

Regarding the legend of the Fairy Bus, it’s really hard to think about.

What kind of eyebrow pencil would choose a combination of Conan, Ai Haibara, Dr. Agasa, two FBI agents, and Belmod in disguise when a group of unlucky tourists were randomly captured and hijacked? To hijack?

After counting, there was only one passerby in the entire car who had nothing to do with the main line, and the other was a member of the eyebrow pencil robber gang.

Really, there are very few people who can achieve this level of eyebrow pencil. It almost gave Tang Ze the idea of ​​​​examining whether they have any relationship with the organization.

"As for Xiao Ai, the doctor will definitely invite him, right?" Mao Lilan guessed.

She knew that this distant relative of Karasawa had been living in Dr. Ali's house. It seemed that because his parents were both researchers, he had an old relationship with Dr. Ali.

I always feel that Tangze's family seems to have a weak relationship...

She seems to be slightly luckier than Karasawa. Compared to Karasawa, who had no one to rely on, she was able to find someone to live with, but it must be uncomfortable to come to Tokyo to live under someone else's roof at such a young age.

Fortunately, the two of them met each other, and they were able to find some comfort...

Karasawa, who didn't know that Mao Lilan was deeply attached to the Shiliang family in his heart, nodded to express his understanding, and then quickly asked the next question: "Then, can I invite Mr. Amuro to go with me? He is always very busy. There is no chance to take a vacation. I have troubled him for so long, and I have some conscience."

"Mr. Amuro, if he agrees, it will be no problem." Thinking of the waiter downstairs who seemed to have a good temper, Mao Lilan nodded.

He is also a handsome guy, as long as he is a handsome guy, Yuanzi will only be happier if he is a handsome guy.

Although the handsome guys in the audience had nothing to do with her, she would only feel dazzled by the feeling of being surrounded by beautiful women.

"Then thank you. If there are extra expenses, you can ask me to bear them." Qian Qian made an appointment for a wave of reimbursement items, and Tang Ze quickly pushed to the next question, "Since everyone is coming together, how many more can I invite?" A friend?"

"Uh, yes, yes..." Realizing that something was wrong, Mao Lilan carefully took a step back, "You are traveling by public bus anyway. If you have other people who want to go with you, you don't need to notify us."

Although she felt that Karasawa liked to travel. When he went to Izu before, he was the one with the highest interest and even offered to pay for their room expenses.

——This is understandable. He had been alone in Kyoto for the past eighteen years. He had never been anywhere. It was rare for him to have friends and he wanted to go out to play. This was all reasonable.

But why does Tang Ze seem to be particularly excited this time?

After receiving the approval, Tangze nodded happily and quickly began to count his COOPs with his hands.

"Like Akechi-kun? Although he may not have time to come, I will try my best to invite him to give it a try."

"Well, Akechi-kun, Sonoko will definitely not object."

"So, where is Mr. Iwai? He is a model shop owner. Although he looks a bit untouchable, he is a very nice person. You should have met him. At the last holographic game conference, I fell asleep and didn't wake up in time. He also Come and help with first aid.”

"The gentleman with the lollipop in his mouth? If you put it that way, it's probably fine."

"Hmm, the rest of the Phantom Thieves can also go easy. With Sister Akemi here, Xiao Ai will only be happier. Oh, it really can't be done. If Kuroba and him... forget it, the risk of calling this one is relatively high."

"Ah? Karasawa, what were you talking about just now?"

"It's okay, I'm talking to myself. And..."
