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

Chapter 504 Useless Mechanism

Vermouth and Shinichi Kudo did not hear Qi Ming's words, even though Qi Ming was standing right next to them.

The two people still lying on the ground trembled slightly, and their originally weak bodies were suddenly filled with strength.

Weakness is caused by hunger, and so is strength.

Apply it—

Their bodies crawled forward unconsciously. At first, they moved forward slowly, but as their rationality completely disappeared and their eyes were filled with madness, they suddenly increased their crawling speed.

If I really had to describe them, one or two of them would look like American cockroaches.

Vermouth and Shinichi Kudo have completely lost their rationality; they have only one thought in their minds.

Eat, eat, eat the hell out of your mind!

The two arrived at the food mountain. Shinichi Kudo picked up a hamburger, and Vermouth picked up a baguette, pretending to put them in their mouths.

However, just as the two opened their mouths and were about to bite down, a glimmer of clarity flashed in their eyes.

To eat or not to eat, that is the question.

If you eat it, you will most likely die from poisoning.

But if I don't eat, I think I'll starve to death.

Even though they had clearly eaten something before they came.

My hands began to tremble; instinct and reason were battling in my mind.

But in the end, instinct prevailed.

"what……"

Qi Ming looked at the two of them with a strange expression. Seeing that they had already opened their mouths wide to take a bite of the food, he finally made his move.

Bending down, Qi Ming slapped the two of them across the face.

"Eat, eat, eat until you two die of hunger! Didn't I already say it's poisonous!?"

Snapped!

The powerful force sent the two people lying on the ground spinning one and a half times in the air before they fell back down.

Qi Ming covered his mouth, then went over and caught the two of them, carrying them on one shoulder each.

He originally intended to pat the food in their hands.

However, it seems that because the two of them were crouching a bit low and their aim was too high, they ended up hitting the wrong target.

"pain!"

Perhaps it was a case of trying too hard and making things worse.

Qi Ming's slap actually brought the two back to their senses; the madness in Vermouth and Shinichi Kudo's eyes faded almost instantly.

Then two tears slid down her cheeks from the corners of her eyes, and even Vermouth was moved to tears.

She was completely unable to control herself, because her nerves told her she had to cry.

Fortunately, Qi Ming's live stream had already ended, otherwise the moderators would have banned her live stream if they saw this.

Reviewer: Wow, there's such a way to play!

Their cheeks were visibly swollen, but after the tears, Vermouth and Shinichi Kudo didn't care about their current state.

They glanced at the hamburger and baguette they were still clutching tightly in their hands, and immediately threw them away, their expressions changing drastically.

Seeing that the two had recovered, Qi Ming put them down, raised his eyebrows, and clenched his fist.

Good heavens, I really have a miraculous healing ability. I just slapped away all the abnormal statuses of the other person after a fight.

Although Shinichi Kudo and Vermouth's current state of consciousness is only temporary.

I reckon that once the pain subsides, that horrible hunger will return.

"...Brother Qi Ming, there was something wrong with the smoke just now. I'm really hungry now, please knock me out!"

Shinichi Kudo muttered.

His cheeks were swollen so badly that he could barely speak.

Shinichi Kudo felt a chill run down his spine as he looked at the mountain of food in front of him.

He now finally knows what it feels like to be extremely hungry.

Although he was able to suppress his anger and remain rational when he was first poisoned.

But the moment he saw the food and smelled its aroma, his reason vanished, and all he wanted to do was rush into the mountain of food and feast.

poisonous?

Who cares if the food is poisonous or not, as long as it's edible!

It's strange, how did the people who had fallen into this trap before manage to get through it?

...No, they should still be feeling the burning pain, so the hunger shouldn't be so intense.

Vermouth also touched her face.

The first thing she did after regaining consciousness was to pick up her phone, switch to the front-facing camera, and look at her face.

Looking at her swollen face, Vermouth felt more heartache than physical pain.

No one has ever slapped her face like that before!

Vermouth looked at Qi Ming with resentment, but in the end she could only speak to Qi Ming expressionlessly.

"...Me too, knock me out already."

"Knock me out? What are you talking about?!"

Qi Ming approached Vermouth and Shinichi Kudo.

"I already told you I would leave you unharmed, and you actually let me knock you out?"

"..."

Vermouth and Shinichi Kudo both felt that this person seemed to have a bit of a split personality.

Why don't you open your eyes wide and look at our faces before you speak?!

Their faces are swollen like this from being punched by someone, and you still have the nerve to say they're unharmed?

"Besides, you've all recovered now, so this is fine, isn't it?"

Shinichi Kudo covered his face and said bitterly.

"We're only temporarily recovered now because that slap really hurt!"

How should I put it about his current situation?

To put it bluntly, he desperately needs to poop, but there's no toilet nearby.

So he had no choice but to pinch his thigh or the Hegu acupoint and press down with the pain.

"It is because of this pain that the brain's nerves will prioritize transmitting the pain sensation, but after the pain dissipates, we will lose our rationality due to hunger."

Shinichi Kudo explained to Qi Ming again.

Qi Ming stroked his chin, realizing he understood the point Shinichi Kudo was making.

"Then I'll just slap you every now and then to make you feel pain, won't that solve the problem?"

"Or perhaps, while you were searching for the correct password in those mountains, I was whipping you from behind to keep you alert?"

"..."

This person is a demon! He is a demon!

"Hahaha, just kidding."

Qi Ming smiled and, without further delay, struck the back of their necks.

Their eyes rolled back, and the two of them immediately fainted.

"Sigh, I have to do everything myself, so the prison players have to be responsible for carrying me, right?"

Qi Ming shrugged and walked away from the two of them.

However, he did not go to the food mountain, but went straight to the locked combination lock iron gate.

As for finding the password, that's not an option.

Qi Ming touched the iron gate.

Although no such prompt appeared in his eyes, Qi Ming inexplicably imagined such a sentence.

The door cannot be opened from this side.

"Oh, now I understand a little why those people awakened."

Qi Ming muttered to himself as he raised his right hand.

A flash of cold light appeared, and a huge sword appeared in his hand.

The greatsword is called a greatsword, and it is quite simple and unadorned.

Qi Ming gripped the hilt of the sword tightly, then swung it forcefully.

The sword blade traced an arc in the air before striking the iron gate directly.

Sheathing his greatsword, Qi Ming saw a deep X carved into the iron gate in front of him, and then kicked the center of the X.

thump—

As if struck by a heavy hammer, the iron gate suddenly tilted backward and slammed heavily onto the ground, raising a cloud of dust.

Behind the iron gate, it was pitch black, and nothing could be seen.

Although there was light in the room of the Hungry Ghost Realm where they were, the faint light could not penetrate the dark space at all.

However, although others could not see it, it did not hinder Qi Ming at all.

With night vision activated, Qi Ming stared intently.

It looks like a maze inside.

The intricate passageways and walls intertwine, creating a somewhat dazzling effect.

Based on Shinichi Kudo's previous reasoning, this level should be the animal realm, right?

So, as it stands, are they supposed to search for an exit in the darkness while also being wary of the beasts lurking within?

Pac-Man, Dark Deception?
