Thinking like this, Conan had no choice but to smile at "Professor Moriarty" and said innocently: "Of course, you can go wherever you want. This is your freedom."
Then he once again glanced at Suzuki Sonoko who had "voluntarily surrendered to the enemy", sighed, silently turned away, and tried to find the place where Irene Adler was.
After looking around like this, Conan suddenly discovered that at some point, a fat NPC blocking the way jumped out in front of him.
The steward NPC twisted his funny upturned mustache, looked down at them, and said seriously: "Who are you? This is the employee area, please leave immediately!"
Mao Lilan hurried forward and nervously spoke the prepared lines: "Well, we are friends of Irene Adler and want to express our condolences to her before the show starts."
Jiang Xia remembered what Noah said about "blocking the road" just now, and glanced at "Hideki Morohoshi" out of the corner of his eye.
Noah silently turned off the NPC blocking switch.
…
ahead.
As soon as Mao Lilan finished speaking, Conan cooperated and raised the bouquet he had prepared in advance.
At the same time, he habitually entered a state of cuteness, trying hard to pretend to be an innocent child who was ignorant of the world, and looked longingly at the fat and stern steward: "This is the flower we plan to give to her."
While Conan was talking, he was also murmuring in his heart. He remembered the obstacles he had encountered one after another with various NPCs before - in this terrible world, whether it was the cafe clerk or the police, they seemed to have no regard for cute children.
immunity……
So while Conan was being cute, he had already made two preparations.
——He plans to let Mao Lilan knock down the steward with one punch while no one is watching. Then the players take the opportunity to escape with Irene Adler, who is targeted by "Jack the Ripper", to save this innocent woman.
However, there was no waiting to take action.
The fat steward looked at the bouquet of flowers, his expression changed slightly, and he actually looked much kinder.
He smiled heartily and said: "Haha, it turns out to be Miss Irene's friend. What a beautiful flower - go quickly, she is in the lounge at the end. She has a poster on the door, so it should be easy to identify."
Conan: "...Okay, thank you uncle."
...It went so smoothly?
…
A group of people walked smoothly to Irene Adler's lounge.
Suzuki Sonoko said happily: "As expected of a detective dungeon, everything requires skills - it seems that the choice of 'Bring flowers here' corresponds to the key node of 'Visit Irene Adler'. This is exactly the correct way to pass the level.
Conan was startled and turned back suspiciously: "..." Wait, why can NPCs understand the words "clearance method"?
...Could it be that there is a built-in program that automatically praises the player when it hears certain words?
…
Curious, Conan couldn't help but turn around and repeated what Sonoko Suzuki had just said at a volume that Moriarty could hear: "This is exactly the correct way to clear the level!"
Originally, he was wondering whether Moriarty would say "It's a clear decision" again, or use some other synonyms.
However, the situation was completely different from what he thought.
When Moriarty heard this, he didn't say anything.
He was just slightly startled and looked at Conan with a surprised look like he was looking at the repeater. He hesitated for a moment, maybe because he really didn't know what to say here, so he turned away as if nothing had happened and ignored Conan.
Conan: "..."
On the contrary, other players glanced at Conan in surprise, and then became a little wary: "...Conan?" This kid couldn't be invaded by something like Noah, right? Why does his speech sound like a machine...
Conan noticed their unfavorable gazes, smiled dryly, scratched his head, and said against his will: "I just thought the way Sister Yuanzi said that sentence was cool, so I followed it, hahaha..."
…
After successfully getting through the situation, Conan couldn't help but secretly glance at Moriarty again.
From Noah to "Moriarty", these guys look too much like real people.
Has today’s AI developed to this level? It almost feels like a “real person acting”.
…
The backstage corridor of the Opera House was not too long, and a group of people quickly reached the end.
It's the same as what the fat steward said just now - at the end of the corridor, on a closed wooden door, there is a beautiful poster of a goddess.
"This is it."
Mao Lilan looked at the lounge in front of her, rubbed her little hands, and was a little excited.
——As a star-chasing girl who wants to chase any star, Irene Adler is just a paper person, but she is a very charismatic and star-like paper person.
It was really hard for Mao Lilan not to be excited: "I don't know what kind of person Miss Irene will be."
Conan was a little excited at first.
But at this moment, standing at the door, he was suddenly startled and remembered something:
Speaking of which, in this game, "Sherlock Holmes" is a guest appearance by his father Yusaku Kudo.
In this case, then "Irene Adler", the woman Holmes loved...
…
Mao Lilan stretched out her hand and knocked twice on the door.
Soon, the person inside could be heard saying sweetly: "Please come in!"
A group of people pushed open the door and entered.
The lounge is quite spacious and exquisitely decorated. Opposite the door, in front of the full-length mirror, stands a woman with long hair reaching her waist.
Hearing them entering the room, the woman turned around from the mirror and looked at them with a smile, her whalebone skirt swaying.
Mao Lilan saw the face of "Irene Adler" clearly and was suddenly stunned.
After a moment, she couldn't help blurting out: "...Xinyi's mother?!"
——This is exactly the face of Kudo Yukiko. Not only the face, but also the hairstyle and body shape are all exactly the same.
Conan: "..." How many personal goods did dad mix in...
Thinking of this, he was suddenly startled and secretly glanced at "Moriarty" who was quietly following behind:
In this case, who is Moriarty based on?
He looks like a high school student, or a student who has just entered college.
Conan carefully recalled the high school detectives he knew, but he couldn't remember anyone with this kind of appearance. He sighed: Forget it, I'll ask my dad when I get out.
…
In the room, Irene Adler was stunned for a moment when she heard Mao Lilan's words.
After a while, she put her hands on her waist and pretended to be angry: "That's so rude! I'm single now."
Conan heard his mother's voice and came back to his senses.
He quickly stepped forward, handed the bouquet to "Irene Adler", and changed the subject: "I'm sorry, Sister Xiaolan admitted the wrong person. That - this is the bouquet given to you by Mr. Holmes."
"Wow, thank you." Irene Adler happily took it, held it in her arms and admired it for a moment, then looked behind the player, "Where's Sherlock Holmes?"
