Bug existence

After approaching Kirito with a childish personality, Conan and Haibara Ai knew what happened to him.

"So. After brothers and sisters killed the boss, a mysterious black mud oozed from its body. Anyone touching it became crazy and killed each other."

"Yeah. It was completely unexpected" Kirito said while maintaining his smile on the surface.

"I have never expected something like this to happen." Kirito blamed himself for not seeing this sooner.

Conan and Haibara Ai looked at each other with a puzzled gaze.

Conan felt this AI was so unscientific. How can it affect even human's emotions to this extreme level?

Haibara Ai was different. When she was still a member of the black organization, she knew the existence of some equipment was beyond human understanding. Those included a brainwashing machine, APTX 4869, a simulation shooting room, …

However, BB, an AI that appeared out of nowhere, was the most advanced technology that she had ever seen.

To affect human emotion at the extreme level, current technology can't do it now.

"Brother. What is your name?" Haibara Ai asked for Kirito's name even though she knew his name.

"Kirigaya Kazuto. Or you can call me Kirito if you want." Kirito replied.

"I know it's a bad experience for you. It's supposed to be a happy event where everyone celebrates their victory after getting stuck in this game. It will be a grand landmark for players who fight for their life and future." Haibara Ai said, a voice filled with sadness.

"But now, the only thing left deep inside them is the despair after despair. Brother. I beg you. If you don't fight for our freedom then who will?" With the begging tone of the little girl, Kirito's heart was hardened.

He could feel the determination and motivation burning inside him.

"Not only do you fight for yourself and people who got stuck here, you also fight for your family. If you give up here, what do you think your family will think about you?" A shiny tear slowly rolled down from her eyes.

"Not only you. My family also worries about me. I don't know if my mother and father live well after knowing this. They must be worrying about safety." Seeing the little girl's cry, Kirito's heart was touched.

"You are right. This is not the right time to give up. I promise I will clear the game." Kirito stood up and left.

With a determination writing clearly on his face, Kirito went to grind his skills and levels.

Only after Kirito left, Conan showed a shocked expression on his face.

"I don't know you can do this" Conan whispered.

"Of course, I can. It's just this skill is useless and not practical for me." Haibara Ai casually answered.

She was raised in the black organization. Although she was a scientist, she was forced to learn other skills after joining the organization.

Just like the time when she used the gun to scare the woman who printed fake money, she used it fluently.

"But the situation is quite bad. I have to use it." Haibara Ai looked at the place where Kirito sat. "And I forget to invite him to our team."

"By the way, Conan. How can you find the clues to the hidden ending? And. Is it true that everyone will be alive if we choose to end the game in the hidden routine?"

"I'm not sure but I'm sure BB has something that she wanted from the government. As for the clues to the hidden ending. Whew. I am not the person who found it." Conan admitted.

"Then who found it."

"That's very troublesome. Do you remember those rich kids that provoked Genta on purpose?"

"I remember. But wait. They found it. Unbelievable." Haibara Ai expressed her surprise and added. "BB didn't say anything about the death game having the hidden ending. How can they know that?"

Facing Haibara Ai's suspicion, Conan responded.

"Maybe it's just a sheer coincidence. Anyway, we are going to meet them later to discuss how to end the game safely."

"Never mind. I will stick with farming EXP. You go ahead and talk with them." Haibara Ai left the scene leaving only Conan.

Conan held his chin and thought.

He had some suspicion but he chose not to say it now. Because there was still something that he was uncertain about.

If he ignored the possibility of luck then another AI was the correct answer.

What he was uncertain about was their relationship.

Friend or Foe.

Only time will answer that.

'I need to test that AI first then I will tell Haibara Ai later.' Conan thought.

Although it was risky to go alone, he didn't want his friends and Ran involved in this matter.

His first impression of AI was bad due to BB.

He didn't know who made this unknown AI but it had helped him a lot.

Even so, he still maintained his vigilance against it.

Conan took out a notepad to write down an important clue.

"An AI has been found. Now, where is the other one?" Conan mumbled.

In the real world

Yuusaku was looking at the rules of the game named One Piece.

No matter how he thought, it had a lot of loopholes.

The rules that BB stated conflicted with one another.

However, it didn't matter to him.

As long as Japan - USA didn't cooperate with another team then nothing would happen.

As for the game, just let the gamer around the world play it.

The main purpose of his presence was to analyze and confuse BB.

BB may be the worthy opponent for him but her presence wasn't enough to make it hard for other detectives.

He stepped out of the car and entered Dr. Agasa's house.

The house was covered with darkness. It was night and Dr. Agasa had cut power in his house.

Yuusaku entered the house with a flashlight.

"Dr. Agasa. I come here to ask the process," he said out loud.

"Yuusaku Kudou. Wait a minute. I am coming to you."

Waiting for a quite, Dr. Agasa appeared with a charred face.

"What's wrong? Dr. Agasa. Have you met something while making the machine?" He asked out of care.

"Nothing. It's just some parts of it were troublesome but it's not difficult for me. So why did you come here? It's still earlier."

"I'm just checking something." Yuusaku took out a button.

"What's that?" Dr. Agasa was confused. He knew Yuusaku didn't do unnecessary things.

"It's the button to call BB. I want to see what can she do in this condition."

"Do other people have this button?" Dr. Agasa asked.

"No. Only me. Because she appointed me a role. As a spy in a team."

"I see. Let's press it and see."

Hearing the response, Yuusaku pressed the button.

1 second

2 second

3 second

Yuusaku detected an abnormal.

A lightning ball was running in the cable to the TV.

The TV which didn't have the power to turn on was turned on under the shocking eyes of Yuusaku and Dr. Agasa.

BB appeared on the screen while looking at both of them.

"So. Do they anything breach any rules while I was absent?" BB asked while combing her hair.

"No"

"Then why do you call me? I don't have much free time like you humans do." BB pouted, appearing a little angry.

"I just found an important clue that I feel I must report to you," Yuusaku said while maintaining his calm outside.

"Oh ho. What's that? Hoping it is worth my time. Or else you know the consequence." BB said with a threatening voice in a cute way. But they felt threatened more than love.

"We have already found the island named Joy Land," Yuusaku said.

"So what? The deadline hasn't come yet." BB didn't care and casually said.

Suddenly, a light bulb appeared on BB's head.

"Are you expecting me to give a bonus?" BB said, needing to confirm.

"Yes. We have worked so hard with flying colors so we expect a reward." Yuusaku answered.

BB rubbed her chin and thought.

"Let me think about this reward. You will have an answer in the next three days. So anything else."

"No. That's more than enough."

"Okay. Then BB leaves for now. Have a good night"

The TV turned off leaving the black screen behind.

Yuusaku and Dr. Agasa stared at each other and they were both shocked.

Dr. Agasa had already cut the power and internet. How can BB enter the electronic equipment without power and internet?

Dr. Agasa's sweat ran down profusely. He had never seen something unscientific technology like this one.

"I see." With a clap, Yuusaky woke Dr. Agasa back to reality.

"Thank you for helping me. I am going out to meet my old friend now."

"Ah. Uhm. Your welcome" Dr. Agasa replied.

Dr. Agasa stared at the TV feeling uncomfortable.

First point of view

In the virtual world.

"Haiz. So many things to do." I sorted newly collected data of this world.

To be honest, the data of this world was full of mess.

"What the hell is this? The population was 35 billion yesterday. And now, it has increased to 42 billion. In addition to that, the size of the planet didn't change. Even a centimeter." I held my head.

"I hope it didn't mix with some funny worlds. Or else, I will be very tired." I looked at the screen showing Kira writing down criminal names in Death Note.

Another screen was showing a rain witch flying in the sky filled with rain.

Another screen showed a shadow monster turning into a human on a certain island.

"A new variable appears and I have to calculate it. Again."

"And. This world is out of cure. Those big bugs. I don't know where they crawl out but they disrupt the delicate balance." I commented and shut down all screens.

"Alright. It's time to check their answer." I manifested a phone out of thin air and dialed a string of numbers.

"Spy. I want you to take a team come to this coordination and check out something. If you find something strange, just report me."

The person I contacted was Spy who was stationed in One Piece world.

"Yes, Madam," he replied with all his respect.

"I have a huge trust in you," I said and hung up the phone.

"Now. What is my next step to implement my plan before this world becomes even more broken?"
