Chapter 174 - Working People's Club
After thinking about it, I decided to throw away a lot of limitations of the original text and use historical materials to tell you the official history of Jack the Ripper...The Undead on Baker Street's magical modification of the original case was a complete mess...
————————————
"This..." Qianyu tried to touch his body with a confused look on his face.
It seems that I must be an entity, but I am actually translucent...
"It's probably a game bug," Qianyu shook his head and gave up thinking. "Don't worry about these details, let's deal with Jack the Ripper first."
"This bug is a bit too scary..." Conan said solemnly after counting the number of people. "Take a look at how many people are here."
Genta, Mitsuhiko, Ayumi, Mao Lilan, Conan, Haibara Ai, myself, the four dudes I met before...
Eleven people, if you include the translucent self, there are 11 people here.
It seems that what I encountered was probably not a translucent bug, but that I, who shouldn't have appeared here, appeared here for some reason.
"Leave me alone," Qianyu shook his head and said. "Just do whatever you have to do. We still have to arrest Jack the Ripper, right?"
"Well..." Ayumi said Nuonuo. "I've been meaning to say it since just now. The smell of the air feels so strange..."
"The smell..." Qianyu tried to smell it, but found that he couldn't smell anything at all. "It seems that I have no sense of taste..."
"This is the characteristic smog of London," Conan said, motioning everyone to cover their noses with sleeves or other cloth. "Due to industrialization in London, a large amount of inhalable particulate matter caused by the burning of oil and carbon lingers in the air, and combines with ordinary fog.
, became a poisonous London smog.”
"I'm sorry, it seems that someone installed a device in the hardware of this game device that is not connected to the main hardware." The voice of Noah's Ark appeared. "So those rules are not displayed...Then I
Let me tell you."
"First of all, once you are arrested by the police or suffer serious injuries that can lead to coma, you will be transported out of the game - after all, if you are arrested by the police or comatose, it is basically impossible to regain freedom and continue the mission within the span of the game."
"Secondly, the time you are currently at is 0:50 in the morning on September 30, 1888. The location is on the bridge next to the Working People's Club in East London."
"Working People's Club?bsp; "I wish you good luck and bring Jack the Ripper to justice. Goodbye!" After saying that, the voice of Noah's Ark disappeared.
"Well," after Noah's Ark disappeared, Xiaolan glanced at a few dudes and said, "How about we introduce ourselves to each other and get to know each other?"
The one in red is Hideki Morohoshi (the grandson of the deputy director of the Metropolitan Police Department), the one in dark blue is Seiichiro Kikukawa (son of Kyogen), the fat man is Akira Emori (grandson of the Emori Foundation), and the one in brown is Shinya Takizawa (politician)
son of the family)
"Kyotic speaker?" Haiyuan Ai raised his eyebrows. "What is that?"
"..." Conan glanced at Qianyu, who rolled his eyes - I refused to explain.
"A Kyogen master is a person who performs Kyogen." Conan had no choice but to explain to Haibara Ai. "Kyogen is one of the four major ancient dramas. It is often called Noh because it is similar to Noh drama. However, it is different from the tragic style of Noh.
Different from dramas, kyogen generally uses simple and unpretentious language to carry out spicy satire. This is one of the reasons why kyogen masters have a high status in the current Japanese society."
While everyone listened to Conan's explanation, they walked off the bridge and walked forward.
From a building ahead, the chorus of men could be heard.
"1'etat opprime et 1a 1oi e 1e ma1heureux ;"
"A repressive country, empty laws, exorbitant taxes and squeezing the blood of the unfortunate." Haiyuan Ai suddenly said in a low tone.
"?" Everyone looked at Haiyuan Ai.
"This is French, but I don't know what kind of song it is." Haihara Ai explained. "These guys are so out of tune that you can't hear the melody at all."
Suddenly, the chorus singing suddenly became more proficient, and this short lyrics made Qianyu, Conan and Haibara Ai look surprised at the same time.
Because they heard a melody they all knew.
"I think this is probably the Working People's Club..." Qianyu curled his lips.
"And no wonder they are so skilled at singing these lyrics." Conan nodded.
"No wonder these lyrics are so radical." Haihara Ai chuckled.
"What kind of song is this?" Mao Lilan watched the three of them riddle and finally couldn't hold back anymore and asked. Several people nearby nodded, indicating that Mao Lilan heard what they were thinking.
"いざ闘わんいざfenい立ていざ,あぁインターナショナル我waiがもの." Conan replied. "Once there is a fight, once there is a struggle, the International Workers' Association will definitely be established."
"Internationale?" Mao Lilan was surprised. "You mean, this is the English version of the Internationale?"
"Huh?" After three surprised sounds, Conan looked confused, Qianyu looked speechless, and Haiyuan Ai sighed.
Mao Lilan even felt that Haihara Ai disliked her for being stupid...
"Do you think there are any English words here?" Finally, Conan explained helplessly. "Although this is London, the capital of the United Kingdom, this song is obviously the most original form of the Internationale, which is the French version of the Internationale.
..”
"But why would anyone here sing the French version of the Internationale?" Hiroki Morohoshi asked.
"What's so strange about this?" Conan spread his hands. "Although the Internationale was composed seventeen years ago, it was just a lyric. The musical version of the Internationale was written by Pierre Duguet in June 1888.
January 16th - that is, it was created just two months ago. Considering that Britain and France are currently in a state of hostility, it is very likely that the French version of the Internationale has just been transmitted. (At this time, Britain and France were ranked first and second in the world respectively.
It is a powerful naval power, and France united with Russia to fight against the British Empire. Therefore, the relationship between the two sides is very tense. Reconciliation between Britain and France will have to wait until a few years or even more than ten years.)"
"Stop talking about this now," Conan suddenly remembered something and his tone was unusually solemn. "Everyone, stay closer to me and follow me!"
At Conan's request, everyone got very close and slowly walked past the Working People's Club.
