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

Chapter 497 Entering the Trap House

Seating at an outdoor café.

Qi Ming also saw the fear in the other person's eyes disappear after he closed his eyes, and then he walked straight towards them.

Qi Ming scanned the other party's equipment and guessed that Emiya Masayoshi's fear stemmed from his own past.

Come to think of it, I've already died many times and voluntarily removed my star rating a few times.

If this person were to see all the things he did in the past again, wouldn't he be vomiting rainbows on the spot?

"Brother Qi Ming, what are you looking at?"

Noticing Qi Ming's actions, Shinichi Kudo asked a question, then followed Qi Ming's gaze.

However, he saw nothing.

"nothing."

Qi Ming responded, no longer looking at Emiya Masayoshi, and finished the rest of his black coffee in one gulp.

After a while, Masayoshi Emiya also arrived beside them, quietly watching them.

A moment later, Qi Ming saw him walk up to Shinichi Kudo and gently tap Shinichi's shoulder.

The purple ring on his finger shimmered faintly, coinciding with the 0.5% probability of falling into a deep sleep.

After all, this is the only way to teleport him into the trap room.

However, Shinichi Kudo clearly had some kind of luck boost, and Masayoshi Emiya managed to poke him nearly a hundred times without him falling into a deep sleep.

If it were just one person, he could knock him unconscious with a single blow.

But there are other people here, so he has no choice but to use this clumsy method.

Although knocking someone unconscious is a pretty stupid method.

If we had a tranquilizer dart like Conan's, why would we need to go through all this trouble?

It's also part of the abnormal status equipment series, but this sleep effect seems a bit too weak compared to statuses like fear.

Ultimately, it seems that after these people became stronger, they relied heavily on the items provided by the system.

It's something that could be solved with a simple basic attack, but they insist on making it so complicated.

"..."

Qi Ming glanced at Emiya Masayoshi.

After all, the trap room was a tool of Emiya's justice, and Qi Ming couldn't see it, so he didn't know the trigger conditions for it.

So he just felt that this person seemed to have some serious illness.

However, Emiya Masayoshi did not continue to confront her directly, and turned to look at Vermouth instead.

Vermouth is probably experiencing some kind of bad luck—just like how things always seem to go wrong when she makes plans.

Emiya Masayoshi merely tapped Vermouth's shoulder, and the latter's body trembled slightly, her consciousness instantly vanished, and she leaned back in her chair and fell into a deep sleep.

"Qi, Qi Ming, what's wrong with her?"

Seeing this, Shinichi Kudo asked Qi Ming curiously.

Although he asked that question, he knew the other person had fallen asleep.

After all, Kogoro Mouri was in the same state after being shot with his own tranquilizer dart.

"..."

Qi Ming gave a strange look to Emiya Masayoshi, who had come to his side again and was poking his shoulder.

After a moment's thought, he silently took out the Lasso of Truth and threw it at the other person's shoe.

Then, Qi Ming looked at Emiya Masayoshi and asked.

"Do you require us to fall asleep before you'll take us to your secret room?"

Emiya Masayoshi answered while poking Qi Ming's shoulder.

“That’s right. I can only teleport you into my trap house when you are unconscious.”

"Oh, I see. You should have said so earlier."

Qi Ming now understands what Emiya Seigi did just now.

Just like in an escape room, you have to be blindfolded at the start.

Qi Ming waved to Shinichi Kudo.

"Kudo-san, lift your neck up a bit."

"Huh? Oh."

Shinichi Kudo was still confused about what had just happened and hadn't quite come to his senses yet, so he habitually did as he was told.

He was trying to figure out who Qi Ming had been talking to, and he'd also heard someone else reply.

Just as Shinichi Kudo had completely raised his head, he finally realized what was happening.

Is that Judge, who seems to possess invisibility, right next to Qi Ming?!

Before Shinichi Kudo could think any further, Qi Ming had already taken out a tranquilizer dart and shot him in the neck.

Shinichi Kudo's eyelids drooped, and he slowly drifted off to sleep.

Upon seeing this, a hint of surprise flashed in Emiya Masayoshi's eyes.

“Very good, that’s a great help. Now we can send you all into the trap room…”

Before he could finish speaking, Emiya Seigi's expression changed instantly.

Something is wrong!

Emiya Masayoshi suddenly realized that something was wrong.

He couldn't help but take two steps back, his eyes wide open.

"You, you can see me!"

Qi Ming was taken aback and turned his head.

No, I can't see.

"Oh dear, that's strange. Why are all my companions asleep? Hmm, I guess I should take a nap too."

Clearly, Qi Ming's feigned ignorance did not fool him.

Emiya Masayoshi shouted.

"You can clearly see me; you were talking to me just now and you still are now!"

This was the first time Emiya Masayoshi had been discovered, and his mind was instantly thrown into turmoil.

He was completely absorbed in his career and didn't care about what was happening in the outside world.

They were also too lazy to think about whether there were other equally special people besides him.

"Couldn't you just pretend I fooled you?"

Qi Ming sighed, and a silver-white stick appeared in his hand.

Then, he put on sunglasses again, stood up and came to stand in front of Emiya Masayoshi.

"Don't speak, look me in the eyes."

Emiya Masayoshi initially felt something was amiss and was preparing to retreat temporarily.

chap——

However, as the metal rod emitted a burst of white light, Emiya Masayoshi felt a wave of dizziness, and his expression gradually became blank.

After a few minutes, Emiya Masayoshi shook his head, looking completely bewildered.

"...What happened? I think I just lost consciousness."

Emiya Masayoshi murmured, then looked down and found that Qi Ming and the other two had already closed their eyes and fallen asleep.

These three were already asleep?

When did this happen?

...Could it be that you've been working too hard lately, and that's making you a little distracted?

Emiya Masayoshi shook his head, no longer thinking about it, and waved his index finger in the air.

[Emiya Masayoshi requests to teleport the host to a special scene, the Paranoid's Trap Room. Do you agree?]

A message popped into his mind, and Qi Ming raised an eyebrow with a sense of novelty.

There are such items? I've never even gotten one myself.

Forget it, I'll study it in this secret room after I'm done playing.

Then, the three figures in the seats vanished instantly.

[Entered a special scene: the paranoid's trap house]

A prompt came to Qi Ming's mind, and he opened his eyes, curiously looking around.

As for the teleportation experience, it seemed to be no different from his usual teleportation; it was just a matter of a moment.

The room looked familiar; after all, they had already seen it in the video.

So now they should wait for Emiya Masayoshi to say, "I want to play a game with you guys?"
