Conan: The Magician of the End of the Century

Chapter 213

Just as Ishino was speeding towards the high-end apartment of the Schindler Group, Hiroki, who was in the top-floor room of the apartment, was typing on the keyboard with both hands rapidly, devoting himself to the final finishing of the artificial intelligence program "Noah's Ark" At work.

Noah's Ark, as an AI program he has developed for nearly two years, is like his own child to him, or it would be more accurate to describe it as his "doppelgänger" on the Internet.

Now that he has made up his mind to escape from this prison, Hiroki certainly doesn't want to leave any regrets, so he plans to complete Noah's Ark today and take it with him to escape from the Schindler Group. After all, he never thought about it. Make Noah's Ark available to Thomas Schindler.

It was already close to 12 o'clock in the middle of the night, but Hiroki did not feel sleepy at all. Instead, his brain became more and more clear, and the rhythm of writing code became smoother. What was originally expected to take three hours of work was completed in just two days. It was almost completed within an hour.

After completing the final writing work, Hiroki thought about what he had experienced today. He guessed that it was probably because he had eaten a lot of cakes for dinner, so his brain still had enough energy at this point. At the same time, he also began to look forward to what kind of Ishino would do. The form appears before itself.

After moving his stiff neck and sore fingers for a while, Hiroki looked at the monitor in front of him that was stuck on the startup interface. He suddenly thought of the surveillance camera in the dark compartment above the door behind him, and was a little worried if he did something unnecessary. He would be noticed by the surveillance personnel, so he had to resist the urge to step out of the rooftop and look around, and continued to pretend that he was still working, waiting for Ishino to appear.

But what he obviously didn't expect was that in the other half of his room where the lights were not turned on, Ishino was sitting quietly on the sofa wearing night clothes, paying attention to his every move.

In fact, Ishino had already arrived at the bottom of the building 10 minutes ago. After that, he used the suction cup and hook lock set that he had borrowed from Kaito but never returned, and climbed up to the 60th floor along the flat outer wall of the building. Rooftop.

Since it was known for a long time that although the camera used to monitor Hiroki could rotate, its field of view was only a small area where Hiroki was located, and it was not a wide-angle camera that could monitor the entire room, so Ishino took advantage of the gap when Hiroki was concentrating on coding. He easily opened the glass door of the rooftop outside, then quietly entered the house and sat down where he could see the computer screen.

Noticing that Hiroki had finished writing Noah's Ark, Ishino stood up from the sofa, walked quietly to the back of the large-screen TV in front of Hiroki, and quietly pressed the button with his gloved fingers. Switch button.

As the TV screen suddenly lit up and made a sound, Hiroki was startled by the sudden change. He quickly stuck his head out from behind the monitor to look at the TV, thinking that something supernatural might have happened.

But when he saw the dark figure standing in the backlight next to the TV, he was suddenly startled, but he soon guessed who the person standing in the shadow was and smiled happily.

The security guard who was observing in the monitoring room on the other side could only see the picture from the angle behind Hiroki, so he just regarded it as his daily behavior of turning on the TV to relax after work, so he didn't pay too much attention to these changes.

Seeing Ishino, who was completely covered in darkness, pointing in the direction of the rooftop with his finger and making an OK gesture with his hand, Hiroki instantly understood and pressed the start button of Noah's Ark without hesitation, and then ran directly after him. Arrived on the outdoor rooftop.After arriving at the edge of the rooftop, Ishino looked at the excited Hiroki and asked, "Hiroki, are you afraid of heights?"

Hiroki didn't know why the other party asked this, but still smiled and replied: "I'm not afraid, because I have long been accustomed to the feeling of overlooking the city from here."

"That's alright. Next, I'll let you experience the feeling of being a little bird." After saying that, Ishino picked up Hiroki, and then jumped in front of the other person's extremely shocked expression, and at the same time stretched out and was painted by him. The black hang glider of the same style as Kidd flew towards the parking lot.

At the same time, Thomas, who was awakened by the network firewall alarm, received the alarm from the guard in the monitoring room. He hurriedly took the elevator in his pajamas and rushed to the top floor where Hiroki was, trying to find out what happened.

But when he entered Hiroki's room, it was already empty. The only things he saw were the computer screen showing the Ark setting sail, the TV showing the late-night news, and the open glass balcony door.

After carefully searching the room and the rooftop but finding nothing, Thomas returned to his room with endless confusion and fear. After weighing the pros and cons, he gave up the idea of ​​calling the police immediately. Instead, he chose to send his personal bodyguard to search nearby for Hiroki. whereabouts……

"Hahaha... It's amazing! We are really flying!" Hiroki, who was being held in Ishino's arms at the moment, was feeling the flow of air around him while looking at the streets and houses decorated with lights below, feeling already in a mood From panic at the beginning, I have become inexplicably excited now.

"Uncle Ishino, what you said is true. You are really a powerful magician. Even the Kaitou Kidd you saw on TV is nothing more than that, right?" He turned around and saw the calm look on Ishino's face. With a calm expression, Hiroki's pupils were filled with little stars of admiration.

Seeing Hiroki's sincere smile after being freed at this moment, Ishino smiled slightly and said: "As a man who inherits the title of 'Magician of the End of the Century', this level is nothing at all. Let me tell you secretly, in fact, I am not only I can do magic, and I can do magic! I’ll give you a chance to experience it myself later, lest you think I’m bragging.”

Although as a top student in science and engineering, Hiroki is a staunch materialist and has naturally never believed that there is such an unscientific phenomenon as magic in the world. However, now he is willing to believe in the man in front of him who helps him realize his wish, smiling with a smile on his face. Wanwan said: "Is there really magic in this world? Then I really want to see it!"

Not long after, Ishino carried Hiroki and landed smoothly in the park near the parking lot. He quickly put away his hang glider and went straight back to Belmode's car.

"I didn't expect that it only took half an hour. It seems that your skills have become better again. This 60-story building is not difficult for you." Seeing that Ishino successfully returned with Hiroki, Bellmore glanced at his phone. After a while, he smiled and looked at the surprised Hiroki and said hello, "Hi! Hiroki-kun, I didn't expect us to meet again so soon."
