Chapter 3 Netizen: Enlightenment

"New World" is a game that combines the virtual world and the real world. In an era of rapid technological development, there is no big difference between people living in the virtual world or the real world. Therefore, many people will choose to live in the virtual world.

You work and live in it, and the money you earn maintains your body's functions, and you live in two worlds at the same time.

No matter how open the world is, it is indispensable to form forces and expand territories in the game setting. Shirakura Nozomi was already in his twenties during his lifetime, and he never wasted time during the years of development in the virtual world.

, every energy was invested in developing power to create the most powerful guild in the virtual world "New World". During his lifetime, according to the latest game update version, he planned the guild into several branches and sent out

Operators manage and develop new players, and the main guild leaves only the most elite players to open up wasteland and fight against each other.

This is a list where only Shiracura Nozomi's ID is displayed online. Every member on the list is a companion who has a deep fate with him. Just looking at the ID can bring countless memories to his mind.

The details of the guild and the items in the backpack were the same as before his sudden death. He was reincarnated into this world with the game data completely, but he couldn't bring those familiar friends with him, and he couldn't go back to see them again.

After obtaining the territory and the guild base, Bai Cangwang was not in a hurry to check the game system and rebuild the guild. He also knew that after being reincarnated into a different world where technology was lagging behind the previous life, the possibility of seeing his former friends again was basically zero.

It is basically a miracle that the game system can be reincarnated together with the character.

There was a child beside him, and it was not a good time to explore now. Shirakura lowered his head and met Edogawa Conan's dull eyes.

Edogawa Conan: "...Where is the time machine? When did you take me into the time machine?"

Or was he really dreaming just now?

Edogawa Conan is almost in chaos, the blue eyes under the lenses don't even look that bright, and everyone is confused.

Eh...eyes?

Bai Cangwang's golden eyes were dim and deep: "When did you pull that piece of paper down?"

The gentle elder brother turned dark and spoke in a threatening tone, which was quite scary and made Edogawa Conan tremble all over.

"This... that just now... I'm just curious..."

Now that he is just an innocent and curious cat, can he be saved?

Fortunately, Bai Cangwang thought he was an ordinary child, so he just continued to fool him and said, "You had a dream. Children always fall asleep without knowing it, just like you just did."

Edogawa Conan pretended to be stupid: "Ah? Am I dreaming?"

"Yes, you had a dream." Bai Cangwang had a serious expression on his face, and his sincere eyes made Edogawa Conan feel as if he was really going to fool him.

Fortunately, his smart little mind suddenly came to his senses and realized that Bai Cangwang didn't want to explain what happened just now, nor did he want to tell him anything.

Edogawa Conan thought: It's okay, I will find the truth myself.

All the horrors were illusions, and Edogawa Conan felt a lot more relaxed. He followed Shirakura Noboru, recalling the details of what just happened, and observing Shirakura Nozomi.

As far as he knew, Shirakura Nozomi moved to Yoneka Town to attend junior high school in the past two years. As a neighbor, he had met and talked to Shirakura Nozomi when he was still Kudo Shinichi, but he still became Edogawa Conan, an elementary school student.

Later, because he was often asked to take care of him, he got along better. In his observation, Bai Cangwang was just an ordinary middle school student. He usually spent his free time playing games and had no special encounters.

But from what happened today, it seems that Bai Cangwang may have a lot of secrets hidden in him. The little detective's natural love for exploring the truth was about to start, but he patiently suppressed it.

Although Bai Cangwang doesn't want to say it now, he believes that as long as he stays with Bai Cangwang, the doubts in his heart will be solved!

After all, there is only one truth!

The two of them made a tacit agreement and stopped asking each other questions. Edogawa Conan was making a small calculation in his mind, while Shirakura Nozomi was thinking about whether Edogawa Conan saw what he was wearing after putting on the equipment just now, and whether he was wearing strange clothes in front of acquaintances.

Is it considered social death?

At this time, Bai Cangwang suddenly stopped.

They had just walked out of the crowd outside the coffee shop when a young man with white hair and blue eyes and round glasses stood in their path, blocking them.

From doubt to sudden realization, it only takes one sentence——

"Are you stupid? If you don't know something, ask me for help?"

The familiar voice was his "Satoru" whom he had never met before and had played games with for many years!

Before Bai Cangwang could call out his name, the boy in front of him suddenly walked up quickly with his fist clenched and punched him on the head - not too hard.

"Is this what you're going to give me after traveling thousands of miles away?"

Bai Cangwang covered his head, his golden eyes full of accusations.

When he met a netizen for the first time, he was beaten, but Bai Cangwang was not angry at all.

Bonds can connect across space. The netizens he met in this world took the trouble to come to him because they were worried about his safety. Bai Cangwang was moved and was extremely tolerant of "Enlightenment".

They have never met, but they get along almost day and night. Compared with the casual word "net friend", they are more like "good friends" who have known each other for a long time.

"What are you going to give if you don't give me a fist?" Gojo Satoru said, "What do you mean by coming to a funeral when things don't go well? I'm very busy and don't have time to attend this. If you have any trouble, just come to me and help you solve it."

This self-confidence that he could solve anything was not inconsistent with Gojo Satoru at all. He pursed his lips tightly, revealing his dissatisfaction in his tone while urging his friends to rely on the almighty him.

Bai Cangwang smiled and said: "I know, I will ask you for help next time. Do you want some dessert? I know a cafe that makes delicious desserts. I'll treat you."

Gojo Satoru raised his eyebrows: "Are you treating me? Lead the way."

We are all of the same age, junior high school students, and have been friends online for a long time. Even if it was the first time we met in real life, Shirakura Nozomi quickly found a familiar state of getting along with Gojo Satoru.

Gojo Satoru asked him: "What happened just now?"

"...A murder suddenly occurred in the coffee shop, so it was a bit chaotic, just the ones you just knew." Bai Cangwang said, "There is nothing else. Speaking of which, where is the teammate who came here before?"

After the topic was changed, Gojo Satoru didn't intend to bring it back. He said: "He has something to do and has left first."

"That's it..."

Nozomi Shirakura found the teammate's ID, left a message online to say thank you, and planned to leave with Gojo Satoru and Edogawa Conan. At the same time, he asked Edogawa Conan for his cell phone.

"Are Xiaolan and Yuanzi late?" Bai Cangwang said.

Only then did Edogawa Conan realize that Shirakura Nozomi's mobile phone was still on him. He took out the phone and gave it back to Shirakura Nozomi, and also returned the Bluetooth headset to him. Thinking of the companions he had made an appointment with, he worriedly said:

"Xiaolan and the others haven't been here for so long. I wonder if something happened to them."

Bai Cangwang said: "So I need to contact you right away."

"Fortunately, they didn't come. I didn't want them to get into trouble." Edogawa Conan said.

After telling Gojo Satoru who the person he wanted to talk to was, Shirakura Nozomi dialed the number. As soon as the call was connected, a worried roar came from the other side: "Shirakura! Are you lost again?!"

"No?" Bai Cangwang was shocked, "Conan and I are both here, at the Beautiful Day Cafe?"

“It’s Beautiful Day Cafe!”

Bai Cangwang led the two of them back while hurriedly answering the phone. Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko knew on the other end of the phone that they were actually in the coffee shop that had just been on the news. They questioned and were afraid, and finally

Asked him: "Didn't you realize that you went to the wrong coffee shop? We are in the Beautiful Day Cafe, and the shop has a different name!"

"...I'm sorry, I didn't expect this either."

Bai Cangwang looked back and realized, my dear, he had indeed misjudged the name of the store. After all, he had never been here before and there was nothing he could do about it if he was not familiar with it.

"Where's Conan? Why can Conan be led astray by you?" Mao Lilan asked him with genuine doubts.

Edogawa Conan tried hard to protect his image as a smart kid: "It was Shirakura-san who said this was the cafe."

"I should just give you the photo of the store entrance instead of the address...forget it, after all, you don't come here to shop much." The two girls had a new understanding of Bai Cangwang's road-crazy, but thinking about what they had just encountered

A murder case, he didn't say this anymore, "Don't come here yet. This restaurant is not as delicious as the reviews online. Sonoko and I will go to play next. You can take Conan back to rest first. Conan is still young.

Child, you need to calm down his emotions."

Hearing Shirakura Nozomi's report, Edogawa Conan was a little anxious: "I'm in a very stable mood, let's go play together!"

"No, you and Bai Cang should go back and rest. Bai Cang is not in good health, so Conan needs to be a good boy." The girls said, even hanging up the phone, "Thank you for taking care of Conan today."

After listening for a long time, it wasn't until the phone hung up that Gojo Satoru chuckled beside him and said, "So you are also a fool in real life?"

"That's different!" Bai Cangwang struggled and said, "It's their fault that the names of their stores are too similar!"

Edogawa Conan said a few words for him: "Indeed, Brother Shirakura will not get lost easily when there is a map."

"When there is a map" and "easily", there are several pitfalls hidden in the words, Gojo Satoru realized it instantly.

"Oh~ I understand."

Bai Cangwang: "......???Do you still want to eat super delicious desserts? The kind that are really delicious."

During the relaxed chat, the three of them left the street. Gojo Satoru followed the two of them. Before leaving, he looked back at the cafe and where they were standing. His sky-blue eyes locked under the round lenses.

I found a place, deep in thought.

The warm sunshine in early winter was not too cold. Every corner of the street was bathed in sunlight, making people lazy. It was rare for Gojo Satoru to enjoy such a leisurely time without seeing annoying faces.

The Poro Cafe in 5-chome is right in front of you. Edogawa Conan is very familiar with this place. After all, the Maori Detective Agency of the Maori Ran family is upstairs. He sighed: "I don't know if Amuro-san is on duty today."

Time, he has taken a lot of leave recently."

"He is here today. I passed by this morning and saw him coming to work." Bai Cangwang said.

They walked into the coffee shop with Gojo Satoru. The fragrant smell of coffee filled the air without feeling cloying. The aroma was just right and comfortable, making it a place where people could relax.

but--

Gojo Satoru opened his eyes wide. Everywhere and every guest's table was hinting at him: signature dishes, sandwiches, pasta.
