PNB Chapter 106: The Water God Appears
Chapter 106: The Water God Appears
At this point, the people in the game have no idea what is happening outside.
After lying down in the game cabin and a brief period of darkness, everyone's eyes lit up and they found themselves in an open space.
Then everyone heard the declaration of "Noah's Ark", but Conan was not afraid at all. On the contrary, he was already eager to meet the challenge of "Noah's Ark".
After everyone calmed down, they waited for "Noah's Ark" to introduce the content of the game.
But to everyone's surprise, especially Conan's, "Noah's Ark" did not introduce the content of the game, but only told everyone the conditions for passing the game - cracking the prophecy and resolving Fontaine's crisis.
Just when Conan was still wondering what Fontaine was, everyone's eyes went dark again, and then Conan and others found themselves in front of a tall building.
Conan observed the surroundings and immediately realized that the game had been tampered with by "Noah's Ark". The weather here was sunny and the view was bright. It was impossible for this to be London in the late 19th century. And the surrounding water system was well developed, and there were even small boats as a means of transportation. It looked a bit like Venice, but the architectural style was different. For a moment, Conan couldn't think of which city "Noah's Ark" used as a template to build the game background.
So the purpose of entering the game to look for clues to the case should not be achieved now. Conan remembered the declaration of "Noah's Ark" before their official game, and decided to find a way to pass the game and rescue everyone first.
While Conan was observing the situation, the players who entered the same game had already gathered together. After all, everyone was now on the same boat, and it was time to work together.
Having said that, the players are currently divided into two groups, with those who are familiar with each other staying together.
The players may be divided according to their personal positions in the open space at that time. In this game area, the players are Mao Lilan, Xia Yu, the children of the Junior Detective League, and four children named Moroboshi, Kikukawa, Jiang Ming and Takizawa who had conflicts with them before and were nearby at that time.
"I think, based on the conditions for passing the level told to us by "Noah's Ark", we should first find out what the prophecy is." When everyone was at a loss and didn't know what to do, Conan took the lead in proposing the action goal. At the same time, he also looked at Moroboshi and others, hoping that they could help together, after all, this was related to everyone.
The four children, Moroboshi, Kikukawa, Jiang Ming and Takizawa, looked at each other. Although they were still a little upset about the football that was hit by Xia Xi before, what Conan said was right. Now their lives were threatened, and it was not the right time to care about such things.
Everyone prepared to split up and ask passers-by nearby.
But after a while, everyone gathered here again.
Xia Xi: "I have already found out the content of the prophecy. In fact, it is quite easy to find out. It seems that everyone knows it, but it seems that no one takes it seriously, just because it is a legend or a bedtime story or something."
Xiaolan also nodded in agreement. She also thought she should ask more people, but she didn't expect the first person she asked would know the answer. "And this prophecy seems to be hundreds of years old."
Moroboshi: "I have checked with Kikukawa, Jiang Ming and Takizawa, and the prophecies they found out are similar. The prophecy mentioned by the game should be this - it seems that the people of Fontaine are born guilty, so the water level of Fontaine will rise and submerge everyone. People will dissolve in the water, and only the water god will be left crying on the throne."
"Also, we found out the name of the water god." Yuan Tai couldn't wait to tell the Junior Detective Team the results of their investigation. "The name of the water god is Fukalos."
Fukaros? The name of one of the seventy-two demons of Solomon?
Conan looked at Xia Xi with some curiosity. The name of the water god Fukalos sounded similar to the wind god Barbatos. They should be related. So, is this incident today related to Ningguang? And does Xia Xi know about it?
At this time, Mitsuhiko added, "And this water goddess seems to be very famous in Fontaine. Everyone knows her."
"Yeah." Ayumi nodded in agreement with Mitsuhiko, "Just like a big star."
Huihara: "Rather than being a big star, he's more like a mascot. He's nominally the ruler of Fontaine, but in reality, the people obviously respect Navilette, the supreme judge of Fontaine, more."
After everyone had a brief understanding of Fontaine's situation, they were about to enter the city when Dr. Agasa's voice suddenly appeared in the sky.
"Hey, Conan, can you hear me?"
Everyone was shocked, and then delighted. They could hear sounds from the outside world, so maybe the other party had a way to rescue them.
But Dr. Agasa's next words shattered their hopes. He couldn't let them out now, but he could tell them the clues to pass the level.
Dr. Agasa asked, "Your game world should be set in 19th century London, right?"
Everyone had hope rekindled, but after hearing Dr. Agasa's question, they were all confused. After all, this place didn't look like London at all.
Conan explained the situation here, and Dr. Agasa realized that the game scene had been reconstructed by "Noah's Ark", so the clues in his hand could no longer help Conan and the others.
Just when Dr. Agasa wanted to say a few more words, "Noah's Ark" noticed the situation here and forcibly cut off the connection between Dr. Agasa and the players in the game.
And, in order to punish them for planning to cheat, the scene in the game soon changed.
In front of everyone in the game, a group of guards soon appeared and surrounded them. Fearing that the guards would hurt them, Xiaolan and Xia Xi stood in front of the children. After all, there were only two adults at the scene, and they had the responsibility to protect these children.
Just when the children were a little panicked and wondered whether "Noah's Ark" was going to let these guards attack them directly, a girl who looked very young and dressed gorgeously and behaved extravagantly appeared on the platform of the tall building in front of them.
From the actions of the surrounding guards and the cheers of the surrounding people, they were surprised to find that the girl who suddenly appeared was the water goddess Fucaros.
(No one in the game wears the Eye of God, and their appearance has been changed by Noah's Ark, which is different from the original.)
Conan couldn't quite believe it. He thought it would be difficult and that he would have to collect some clues to find the location of the Water God. He didn't expect that the Water God would appear in front of everyone so quickly.
