Conan's grammatical investigator

The game world, Old London.

Conan and Holmes ran wildly until the possible pursuers behind them were completely thrown away.

Running into an alley, Holmes stopped in his tracks.

"why?"

"I treated you like that, but why did you choose to save me?"

Conan looked up at his "father" with a smile on his face.

"No matter what, you are my idol."

"I can't just look at you."

At this time, Conan's heart was also very complicated.

Although he knew it was just a game, he couldn't just watch Holmes being beaten to death by the police anyway.

No matter what the background is, this is a Bad end for Conan.

What's more, the face model of this Sherlock Holmes is his old father Yusaku Kudo.

However, Conan's saving Sherlock Holmes is not a completely emotional choice, but also rational thinking.

"Actually, when we entered that room, we were already eliminated."

"But at this moment, Moriarty appeared."

"Actually, Moriarty could have been absent."

With calm eyes, Conan said a meaningful sentence to Holmes.

And Holmes stared at Conan closely, with a serious face, and did not respond immediately.

Although in terms of personal choices, Conan mixed some personal feelings.

But in terms of logical thinking, Conan did follow Qin Zhibo's teaching and regarded everything in front of him as a game.

Since this is a game, no matter Holmes, Moriarty, or Lestrade, they are all NPCs controlled by the system.

The stories that happen between NPCs are called game plots.

That is to say, no matter how brilliantly Moriarty puts out the reasoning of finding Holmes, as long as Moriarty is not there, there are 1 reasons why it should not be there.

Everything is a system choice.

Moriarty didn't exist.

Holmes doesn't exist either.

There is only one.
"It really is you, right?"

"Noah's Ark."

Conan's eyes were as clear as water, he looked up at Holmes, and continued.

"The eyeliner in the city that Moriarty mentioned is actually not 'someone', but 'everyone'."

"For you who have completely mastered this game, all game NPCs are your eyeliner, and you can grasp our actions all the time."

"Even including Zhuxing Hideki, he is also you, right?"

A look of surprise flashed across Holmes' face.

There was a puzzled expression on the face of "Kudo Yusaku", which made Conan feel refreshed, and then a confident smile appeared on his face.

"For a football teenager, it is impossible not to be uninterested in football 100 years ago."

"And when you passed by Big Ben, you were the first to discover the problem with the clock, and you just wanted to remind us of its meaning."

Conan still remembered the scene at that time, but he didn't choose to show his cards immediately.

With Qin Zhibo's meticulous observation ability, he should have noticed this matter.

"Although you have put us in various dangers, you actually don't want to eliminate us."

"The best evidence is that you arranged for Moriarty, who can help us, to appear."

"It's not your goal to obliterate the second and third generations of Japan, and to rebuild Japan, is it?"

Under Conan's rigorous reasoning, Holmes' serious expression gradually unfolded.

"Congratulations, you're right."

"I am Noah's Ark, and so is that child."

Conan frowned, and was about to breathe a sigh of relief when Holmes changed the topic.

"However, the game still has to continue. You must clear the game before you can leave here."

As soon as these words came out, Conan frowned again.

"why is that?"

"Isn't your purpose through this game so that players don't depend on their parents and learn to grow on their own?"

Although Conan has no conclusive evidence to clarify the real purpose of Noah's Ark, but after perceptual speculation, Conan thinks it should be like this.

But Holmes shook his head and said with a smile, "It's easy to change the country, but it's hard to change the nature."

"The only lessons humanity has learned from history is that no lessons have been learned from history."

"I don't think that through a game, people's temperament and ideas can be greatly changed."

"What's more, the vast majority of players other than this game were eliminated early in their respective games."

"If the only thing that can have a profound impact, it can only be the oldest and most powerful emotion of human beings-fear."

"Only the fear of the unknown can have a long-lasting impact."

"What do you think?"

"Shinichi Kudo."

What Sherlock Holmes, or Noah's Ark said, stunned Conan.

The first few aphorisms can still be understood as the knowledge learned by AI through deep learning on the Internet.

but later
How did it know that I was Kudo Shinichi!

Facing the shocked Conan, Holmes explained with wisdom returning to his face.

"In fact, besides deep learning, I have another special technology, which is DNA tracking technology."

"I extracted your DNA information, which highly matches that of Yusaku Kudo, confirming that it is a father-son relationship."

"So you are Kudo Shinichi."

Conan: (⊙⊙)
What kind of technology is beyond the times!

Now there is good news and bad news in front of Conan.

Good news, free and painless paternity test, he is indeed Yusaku Kudo's son.

Bad news, an unexpected reveal, and the conversation is over as long as it goes public.

Tomorrow's headlines - Edogawa Conan = Kudo Shinichi!

Holmes seemed to have guessed what Conan was thinking, and said, "I can't hear the conversations here outside now, I blocked them."

"But I'm going to unblock it soon"

Conan's complexion changed, and he quickly asked, "What is your purpose?"

Holmes thought for a while before replying meaningfully.

"I'm sick, very sick like that girl named Mao Lilan."

"sick?"

Conan's brain reacted, and immediately asked, "What's wrong?"

"What does this have to do with Xiaolan!"

Although Conan's tone was almost roaring, Holmes' eyes suddenly flickered in an extremely unnatural way.

"Kid, are you trying to stop Jack the Ripper?"

"I can help you."

Holmes' words don't have much real emotion, like a Yes or No conversation with an idiot NPC.

Conan's eyes were a little disappointed, because it symbolized that he had returned to the normal plot content.

Of course, it is still possible that Noah's Ark controls Holmes.

But as long as Noah's Ark doesn't want to talk to himself, in this world, no one can force it.

Among the information disclosed by Noah's Ark just now, what Conan cares most about is the "disease" in Noah's Ark's mouth.

What does this mean?
And why like Xiaolan?

Conan looked back on Mao Lilan's state recently, except that he fell ill from exhaustion at the Chinese restaurant in Yokohama, and just now when he was watching a movie, he suddenly screamed out in fright.

Do you mean this disease?
Could it be that Noah's Ark scanned Mao Lilan's body and found any hidden diseases?
No, this matter cannot be delayed, I have to take Xiaolan to check her body immediately!
But before that, you still need to clear the game.

Thinking of this, Conan raised his head and looked at Holmes with a harmless smile.

"Okay~"

Old London, East End, Whitechapel area.

As the last relatively older person on the bright side, Mao Lilan has a clear commanding authority in the Boy Detective Group and the Back Wave Group.

But it is a pity that Mao Lilan has a very poor sense of direction and is a road idiot.

Fortunately, Mao Lilan broke through the siege of the London police together with a group of NPCs in the theater.

After asking for help, Watson and others brought Mao Lilan and others to the meeting place agreed with Conan.

"Thank you, Dr. Ali. Watson."

Facing this very familiar face, Mao Lilan couldn't help but play.

"Dr. A Li, you were really amazing just now!"

"Dr. A Li, when did you practice such accurate marksmanship?"

"Dr. Ali."

Sanxiao can only care about the inside and outside of the game, as long as it is Dr. A Li's face, there is an inexplicable sense of intimacy.

In this regard, Watson could only scratch his head with an awkward smile, not knowing how to respond.

And Hui Yuanai looked at Watson, and also remembered the scene of Dr. A Li's handjob just now.

In the original book of Sherlock Holmes, Watson is an army doctor who is good at using a revolver and has some marksmanship, but he is not yet a perfect shooter.

But here, Watson's marksmanship is a bit too strong.

It may be that when Dr. Ali was fixing bugs in the United States, he secretly strengthened the characters who looked like him.

This is called game balance.

In all fairness, this balance makes sense.

After all, Dr. Ali has been solo for 52 years, so it should be a good pistol.

Just when Mao Lilan was happy to survive the catastrophe, Irene Adler found Watson with a worried face.

"Watson, will something happen to Holmes?"

Watson paused for a moment, with a worried expression on his face, but right now he could only choose to comfort him.

"It should be fine, he is Sherlock Holmes."

At this moment, Mao Lilan stepped forward suddenly, with a firm expression on his face, and said: "Miss Irene, Mr. Holmes will be safe."

"Because there's Conan."

Mao Lilan recalled that in the smoky room just now, Conan turned around and told him to take everyone to escape and find Holmes by himself.

In the haze, I seemed to see Kudo Shinichi's face.

For some reason, Mao Lilan felt that this little boy wearing glasses was very similar to that reasoning maniac.

Same love for Sherlock Holmes.

Even if everyone is "betrayed" by Holmes, he will definitely help Holmes.
When Mao Lilan was smiling like an aunt, a touch of yellow flashed past the corner of her vision.

It was the actor who played "Huaxia Huangdi", wearing a costume that he hadn't had time to take off, passing by.

Even this very normal scene made Mao Lilan shudder.

Her slender hands trembled constantly, and there was a fine line of cold sweat on her forehead, which made Bumei notice something was wrong.

"Sister Xiaolan, are you okay? Is there something uncomfortable?"

"Did you exert too much force just now?" Mitsuhiko asked, "Do you need to sit down and rest?"

The three little ones supported Mao Lilan to sit down on the side of the road, and called Dr. Watson to help him take a look.

Hui Yuanai just stood not far away and glanced at it, without paying too much attention.

This is a game, how could the doctor character in the game treat the player's avatar?

Cyber ​​diagnosis?
Hui Yuanai turned to look up at the sky.

In the dark sky, a bright white moon was so strangely bright.

As Hui Yuanai expected, Watson just checked Mao Lilan symbolically, and left without any useful advice.

Mao Lilan could only lie down on the side of the road to rest, and the others also entered a state of rest.

For some reason, there was no sign of the police chasing him.

Moreover, this is the East End with the worst law and order in the whole of London, and there is not even a patrolling policeman or citizen at night.

The atmosphere of the whole street was eerily quiet.

At this moment, two figures broke the silent atmosphere and came straight from a distance.

When they ran to a close distance, they realized that it was Conan and Holmes.

"Holmes!"

"Conan!"

Irene Adler hugged Holmes, and Ayumi hugged Conan.

Mao Lilan also got up from the ground, showing a forced smile, and looked at Conan.

You really are.
As soon as Conan saw Mao Lilan lying on the ground, he hurried over to ask about the situation.

"Sister Xiaolan, what's wrong with you?"

"It's okay, maybe I used too much force when I escaped just now, it would be better to take a rest." Mao Lilan stood up while leaning on the wall.

Conan looked at Mao Lilan, who was pretending to be strong, and felt distressed.

There is no stamina system in this game. After running with Holmes as an adult for so long, I don't even feel tired at all.

Because this game only simulates touch, smell, vision, etc., and physical fatigue cannot be simulated by electrical signals.

This made Conan more concerned about the "disease" Noah's Ark mentioned just now.

Now it seems that maybe Mao Lilan's state is really not right.

Xiaolan
Holmes uttered his idea of ​​helping to capture Jack the Ripper, and immediately got a collective response from everyone in the troupe.

Conan is not surprised by this, after all, as Qin Zhibo said, this is just a game.

Under the leadership of Conan, Holmes and others came to a position some distance away from Jack the Ripper and observed from afar.

I saw that the posture of Jack the Ripper was still maintained at the very beginning of the game, when he was just discovered.

On closer inspection, Jack the Ripper is crouching over a woman who appears to be dead.

After one day in the game, Jack the Ripper just kept this posture because no player triggered the plot.

Come to think of it, it's kind of ridiculous.

Holmes called on everyone to prepare various arresting tools, use costumes to weave large nets, and tripwires made from local materials, etc.

There are also alleys on the street where you can escape from the sky, all of which are blocked with sundries and guarded by people from the theater troupe.

When everything was ready, Holmes and Conan stood by the window of the house on the street.

Looking at Jack the Ripper on the ground, Holmes murmured.

"Get ready to catch the 'demon'."
