Chapter 108 Start investigation
As soon as the other children saw the strange robots that seemed to be charging on the roadside, they surrounded them. Even Conan was no exception. After all, which boy could resist a moving robot?
Moroboshi: "Wow! This robot is so cool! I wonder if it can move?"
Mitsuhiko no longer cared about the conflict before the game. He looked at the robot with shining eyes and said, "It should be possible. Aren't there similar robots walking around?"
Kikukawa: "But I don't know why this robot is standing here without moving. Is it really charging? Why can't I see a plug?"
Jiang Shou: "You are stupid. This place has advanced things like robots. How can they still use plugs to charge? I think it should be wireless charging."
Yuan Tai didn't pay any attention to what others were discussing. He looked at the robot in front of him curiously, and was a little eager to try it: "I wonder if I can touch this? It shouldn't be a problem..."
After saying that, without waiting for Conan beside him to stop him, he reached out and touched it.
Conan and the others stared at the robot nervously, and when they found that it did not move, they breathed a sigh of relief. However, they could not hold back their hands, and several children curiously touched it.
After a while, Zhu Xing became dissatisfied with just touching the robot, and since the robot didn't move, he thought there was no danger. When he saw an exposed gear, he was ready to reach out and break it off.
"Attack intention detected, self-defense mode activated."
While several children were constantly harassing the robot, the robot in front of them suddenly said this and then moved.
"No! Everyone scatter!"
When Conan heard what the robot in front of him said, his face immediately changed and he asked the children around him to leave quickly.
After hearing Conan's words, Genta and the others did not hesitate and immediately ran away from the robot. However, the four children, Moroboshi, Kikukawa, Jiang Ming and Takizawa, did not think much of the words of a child, and did not react in time, and remained where they were.
Conan noticed that the situation was a bit critical, and was about to use his belt to make a football and kick it out to stop the robot's action. But to Conan's surprise, there was no response after he pressed the button on the belt. He then remembered that this was in the game, not in reality, so his foot-strengthening shoes, anesthetic needles and bow-tie voice changer were useless.
After realizing these situations, Conan's face turned grim.
Therefore, when Xia Xi and Xiaolan noticed the children's unusual behavior and rushed over, a child named Takizawa had already been eliminated by the robot in front of him.
At this time, Zhu Xing, Jiang Ming and Kikukawa realized that something was wrong and ran and crawled away from the spot.
Xia Xi ran to the robot and kicked it away, making it unable to move.
Just when everyone breathed a sigh of relief, the patrolling robots noticed the situation and gathered around.
Xia Xi and Xiao Lan stood in front of the children and rushed forward when the surrounding robots took action.
Although Mao Lilan has some martial arts skills, she is obviously no match for the robots around her. She can only barely prevent the robots from getting close to the children.
Therefore, Xia Xi was still the main force against these robots. In the amazed eyes of the children, Xia Xi could paralyze a robot in just a few moves. Later, she found that it was inconvenient to fight with bare hands, so she drew a sword from the nearby blacksmith shop. After that, the robots around her were no match for her.
Although these robots are not a threat with Xia Xi around, the fact that they keep coming in droves is quite troublesome.
Just when Conan was anxious to come up with a solution, the guard member left by the water god who was said to help them understand the situation ran over from a distance, and brought a short staff member who claimed to be Melusin.
After she arrived, she stopped these robots, which she called clockwork mechanisms, and then understood the situation.
Everyone then realized that the reason the robot had taken action before was because it sensed Zhuxing's attack intention and activated the self-defense mode. The guard team member also saw that the situation was not good, so he quickly called Meilushin from Zhuyingting to come and stop the machine.
After Yuan Tai knew the situation, he couldn't help but teach Zhu Xing a lesson: "Really? The situation is urgent now. Why are you still so casual like you were in the venue? Can't you control your hands?"
"Morohise didn't do it on purpose. Besides, is it your turn to teach her a lesson?" Although Kikukawa was somewhat dissatisfied with Moroohise for tampering with things, which led to the elimination of their two friends, he also didn't want to see others blaming his friends like this.
Yuan Tai: "He was wrong in the first place, why can't I say it?"
Jiang Shou: "That's also..."
"Alright! Stop talking!" Zhu Xing clenched his fists, his expression somewhat forbearing, but he still apologized, "I was wrong, I shouldn't have touched that robot so casually, I'm sorry."
Seeing that Moroboshi had already apologized, Conan stepped forward to ease the relationship. After all, now was not the time for internal strife.
At this time, the guard saw that they had finished arguing, and quickly brought the girl over. Everyone then learned that the girl's name was Trista. They could also ask Trista for clues about the girl's disappearance. (The name of the girl was just picked randomly)
When everyone saw that this was a clue related to clearing the game, they put aside their recent unhappiness and came forward to surround Trista, asking questions one after another. Sometimes Trista didn't even have time to answer, and some of the questions were even unrelated to the case.
Conan: "How many victims are there in the missing girl case?"
Trista: "What we know so far is that seven girls are missing."
Ayumi: "Ah?! So many! Which sisters are in trouble?"
Trista: "There are Keisha, Winnie..." (names are made up)
Before Trista could finish, Mitsuhiko asked, "What do these victims have in common?"
Trista: "I don't see anything in common between these girls..."
Huiyuan couldn't help but ask curiously, "Is there any difference between you, Melusin, and ordinary people? In terms of feelings and abilities?"
Trista: "We have a special vision that allows us to see things that are difficult for ordinary people to observe."
"Hey, Haibara, what are you asking?" Conan was speechless when he saw that Haibara was still asking about things that were not related to the case. He looked at her helplessly with half-opened eyes.
Seeing that the children had been asking questions in a mess for a long time and Trista didn't have time to finish everything, Xia Xi forcibly suppressed everyone and let them ask questions one by one.
Gradually, everyone was able to understand many clues about the girl's disappearance case.
Seeing that she had already revealed most of the clues, Trista prepared to take these strange visitors to the Shadow Court to check out some relevant physical evidence.
