Naturally, everyone in the game does not know that Sherlock Holmes, a key friendly character set in the game, has now been "removed" from Baker Street.
At Conan's suggestion, they set off directly from the Whitechapel area and rushed to Holmes' residence without stopping.
While walking on the road, everyone was constantly observing the surrounding environment, and were once again shocked by the reality of this game scene.
No wonder it is said to be a game that can change the current industry structure. It is almost like starting a second life. Few people can resist this temptation.
The one who observed the most carefully was Conan. Firstly, he was most interested in this world where reality and virtuality intersected. Secondly, he consciously shouldered the responsibility of leading these companions to the end of the game and solving the puzzles of this suspense stage. Naturally,
Extremely attentive.
Soon, he discovered that there seemed to be something strange about the Big Ben in front of him and others.
His words made everyone stop and look.
"What's wrong with that clock..." Before the naughty boy, Zhu Xing, could finish his words, he saw the minute hand of Big Ben stopped at fifty minutes, and then moved back abnormally.
"From fifty points to forty-nine points!" Ayumi exclaimed.
"This clock runs backwards! Wait..." Xiaolan quickly thought of something from this number and this abnormal phenomenon.
"This shows the number of people who are still in the game." Haihara Ai's tone was somewhat solemn.
Everyone was shocked, because just when they said these two sentences, the hour hand had already moved back one step.
In other words, not long after they entered the game, two children who participated in the game were already eliminated.
The group of people who realized this felt a little heavy in their hearts - it seemed that the difficulty of this game was far beyond their expectations...
They only saw the clock hands turning in the game, but the adults who anxiously watched Cocoon in the venue felt a more intuitive sense of despair.
I saw that among the fifty "cocoon" game warehouses in front of the stage, the light on two cocoons dimmed, and then like a Jerry hiding under the stage, it rotated and sank from the stage, diving into the understage.
Space is like going into sleep.
Generally speaking, this state is when the cocoon game warehouse stops operating, but now there are still children in the cocoon.
How could the adults present not understand what happened?
This means that these two players have been eliminated!
The parents of these two children were always paying attention to the cocoon their children were in. When they saw the movement of the cocoon, their eyes went dark and they screamed sadly.
"Kangyu!"
"No!"
The other adults were even more nervous because they knew that every time a player was eliminated, it meant that it would be more difficult to pass the level.
What’s more, they were eliminated so early!
It was like playing a soul-based game with great satisfaction, but before even meeting the first mini-boss, he was touched to death by a monster when he left the house.
"Two pirates were eliminated!" The atmosphere in the control room was not much more relaxed than in the venue.
Before he finished speaking, several more players' cocoons sank into the ground.
"This time it's the Colosseum! Two people were eliminated!"
"Three out at Solomon!"
This astonishing elimination speed made everyone present feel even more solemn.
Everyone knows that if it is really like what Noah's Ark said, then if no one can pass the level, the consequences will be absolutely devastating.
So many second and third generation children will be brain-dead here forever. No one can bear such consequences.
Kudo Yusaku, who is most familiar with the story stages he designed, no longer has any hope for players in other stages. He knows very well that if the difficulty is deliberately raised, the possibility of players in these stages being able to successfully pass the level is unlimited.
Close to zero.
In other words, if he wants to save everyone, he will have to look at the abilities of his son Kudo Shinichi.
He focused all his attention on the fifth stage, London.
"Dr. Ali, where are they?"
Dr. Ari looked at the map, turned around and replied: "On the way to Baker Street!"
"It's broken...didn't it mean that Holmes is not in Baker Street? Then aren't they wasting their time in vain?"
The police department is in a hurry.
"Wait, there is no way out to Baker Street." Yusaku Kudo analyzed calmly, "At first, Noah's Ark only took away Holmes and Dr. Watson, but the information that Holmes stored in the house should still be there."
"And if some of them are really familiar with the Sherlock Holmes series, they might be able to do the opposite and find a way to search for Jack the Ripper."
"Kudo, you mean..." Kenmura, who participated in the entire development of Cocoon, quickly understood what his friend meant.
"Yes, without Holmes, there is still his lifelong enemy..."
Kudo Yusaku said thoughtfully.
Shinichi, if you love Sherlock Holmes, you will definitely be able to discover it...
…
"London in this era is a society with a huge gap between rich and poor, with brutal criminal methods and sinister hearts..."
As Hui Yuan Ai walked, he introduced the background of the times to these children.
"Yes! I think I heard Shinichi say that if Sherlock Holmes is compared to the light of the times, then the Jack the Ripper we are looking for this time is the shadow of the times."
Xiaolan also recalled what Xinyi said to herself.
"Be careful of Jack the Ripper, he is waiting for you on the road at night... What should you do if you don't want to die... You have to be covered in blood!"
Suddenly, as they were walking on the street, a man who looked like a homeless man passed by in front of everyone, playing an accordion and singing an incomprehensible song.
The tramp also deliberately glanced at Conan, showing a meaningful look in his eyes.
No one noticed at this time that this turned out to be the most critical tip for clearing the game.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! They just thought that this person was an ordinary homeless man, and didn't take it to heart at all. They just rushed to Baker Street to see the light of the times.
.
Although the journey was not far, fortunately there was no disturbance. Everyone arrived at Holmes' residence on Baker Street smoothly, but they learned the bad news like a bolt from the blue.
"What? Mr. Holmes and Dr. Watson are on a business trip?"
Xiaolan's voice suddenly rose.
"I'm sorry..." Xiaolan realized that she was too excited and seemed to scare the lady in front of her. "Excuse me, what is today's date?"
"September 30th," the lady said.
Encyclopedia Conan, the walking Sherlock Holmes, just thought about it for a moment and understood why Holmes was not there: "It's the Hound of the Baskervilles!"
"That's right! Both of them happened to have left London at this time!" Xiaolan sang along with him.
"Then... can you please help us go in? We are looking for Jack the Ripper, who has made people in London terrified. I heard that Mr. Holmes seems to have found some relevant information and compiled it..."
Xiaolan requested sincerely.
"No problem, I'll move the information out right away."
To their surprise, facing a group of strangers like them, the lady agreed to this somewhat unreasonable request without hesitation.
Others only thought that this lady had followed Holmes and seemed to be a sensible person who knew right and wrong.
"I understand." Conan looked at his wife who turned around and walked into the room. "She seems to think that we are members of the Baker Street guerrillas, so she will take care of us and agree to our request."
"Baker Street Guerrillas?" Morohoshi's eyes widened.
"They are the homeless children hired by Holmes! They specialize in sneaking into places that adults cannot enter to collect intelligence. They are a group of brave children!"
Xiaolan explained.
"So it seems like this guerrilla is the senior of our young detective team?" Mitsuhiko said with a smile.
Everyone entered the apartment smoothly, and the maid who helped Holmes look after the house went to make tea for the group.
"Before I make the tea, you can visit Mr. Holmes's home, but you must not damage Mr. Holmes's things. There are many precious instruments and information here!"
The servant's wife left these words and turned to make tea.
Everyone looked around curiously in the living room, and soon Conan saw a group photo placed on the cabinet.
"Ah, this... dad has really bad taste."
This is a photo of Holmes and Dr. Watson, but Holmes and Dr. Watson in the photo look like Yusaku Kudo and Dr. Agasa...
Within two minutes, the four pampered naughty kids could no longer sit still.
"Hey! We don't have time to waste here now, do we?" Zhuxing said with some dissatisfaction.
"But Zhuxing, what should we do now?" another person asked.
Conan immediately explained:
"We can now start to search separately to see if there is any information about Jack the Ripper in the information here..."
At this time, Conan, who seemed very reliable, seemed to have become the backbone of this group of people. Even the naughty children began to listen to his words and rummaged through the cabinet for information.
But soon, the attention of these four naughty kids was attracted by an object that looked like a football that looked quite dated.
These naughty kids love to play football. Before entering the game, they were scolded by Kenmura for playing football.
Now that I see this football from more than a hundred years ago, I just can’t put it down.
It didn't take long for Xiaolan, Qingshan's own daughter, whose luck value is always max in Ke Xue's world view, to find the intelligence information booklet about Jack the Ripper.
Everyone gathered together and started reading the book, which was filled with text and had many related photos posted on it.
Of course, since it is a huge game, you can naturally choose the language you want to use, and all the original English has been translated into Japanese that everyone can understand.
"At the scene of the second female victim, next to the church, two rings of different sizes but the same style were found, one large and one small..."
"Judging from the social instability he caused, and after a series of investigations, I can confirm that he is related to the evil Professor Moriarty!"
After reading this, Conan's expression changed drastically.
"Who is Professor Moriarty?" Zhuxing asked the doubts of many naughty children - they have never read Sherlock Holmes. At most, they have heard of this name and know that he is one of the top detectives.
"He is Sherlock Holmes's old enemy." Conan's face was more solemn than ever before, "The dark streets that control London have a very strong influence on the entire society. He is called the Napoleon of the criminal world."
"He is used to controlling everything behind the scenes and almost never shows up."
Hearing this, Huiyuan asked: "Then how can we find this dark emperor who has never seen the dragon?"
"If the professor doesn't show up, then we'll just go find someone related to him!"
Haiyuan glanced at Conan, and then at Xiaolan, who could quickly follow Conan's thoughts, and couldn't help complaining in his heart:
"How much does this idiot detective like to share his favorite Sherlock Holmes with the girl he likes..."
"Yes, we just need to go to the poker club in the city center now. There is a high possibility that Colonel Menglong will appear there."
After determining the next direction of action, the haze cast by Holmes's absence gradually dissipated, and the group regained their confidence.
"By the way, Colonel Monland is the second most dangerous person in London. You must be careful when dealing with him!"
Conan looked at the four naughty children with meaning.
That's right, it's the four of you. Please be honest when the time comes!
"Okay, okay, I got it, stinky glasses..."
Zhu Xing answered impatiently. In the face of major right and wrong and life and death crises, as a descendant of a senior police official, he can still handle things clearly.
…
"Oh, that's pretty good. He is worthy of being Sherlock Holmes' number one fan..."
On the sofa, Yuan Huaiyu was chewing potato chips and commented with a relaxed expression on Conan, who had found the next direction of action.
"This kid is so amazing!" Hiroki exclaimed, "Is he really a first-grade kid?"
This kind of familiarity with the details of Sherlock Holmes stories probably means that he has been listening to his mother read him the complete works of Sherlock Holmes since he was a child, right?
"Of course he is not a simple child. If possible, I can introduce him to you in the future - of course, now is not the time, just think that I have left you in suspense."
Yuan Huaiyu smiled mysteriously, and then changed the topic:
"It's just that although Kudo Yusaku wrote a good script for this stage, there are still some minor flaws - the depiction of Professor Moriarty is still a bit off."
"When Conan Doyle was creating the film, he drew it with reference to a certain person's image."
Yuan Huaiyu smiled happily.
"Noah's Ark...can you help me change the appearance of Professor Moriarty in the default setting?"
