Conan's corpse picker

Chapter 924 London in the Nineteenth Century

Those foreign "people" who look like younger brothers seem to be very resistant.

At this point they have got up from the ground.Surrounded by a gun in one hand, the staff kept a distance from Matsuda Jinpei and said in a cold voice close to the machine: "Please wait here."

"..."

The appearance and design of the gun is clearly an old-fashioned flintlock.But regardless of the mode of operation or recoil, they are similar to semi-automatic pistols.

Matsuda Jinpei frowned and looked at those old-fashioned guns that looked more like works of art than weapons, and became more and more confused about the rules of this space.

After a few glances, his eyes couldn't help being attracted by the man with the gun.

He looked at this group of "little brothers".

As a ghost, the sensitive sense told it that these foreign men all had a little ghost aura on their bodies.

But all of them are very weak, like a ghost being divided into countless pieces, and each little brother puts a piece in it.And the "Professor Moriarty" just now is the biggest piece of it.

In addition, although the ingredients are very similar, judging from the breath, none of these fragments have the feeling of "alive". , but on a higher level than Shikigami.

However, there seems to be something wrong with using the word "active" to describe ghosts...

Matsuda Jinpei was briefly lost in thought.

Miyano Akemi also experienced a similar mental journey.

Following the bond of contract, the two ghosts tried to pass on the observed situation to Jiang Xia.

Just like when they first landed, those messages had just been sent out, as if they were stuck in thick muddy water, blocked by strange space repulsion, unable to communicate.

But I don't know if it's an illusion. This time, the direction of the contract seems to be different from before.

……

at the same time.

It is tens of meters away from the small building where the two ghosts are located.

When Noah is not at home.

A psychic who came to look for ghosts happened to break in.

Just now, Jiang Xia wrapped up her body, and then, like a puppet possessed in ordinary times, her consciousness came out of her body and plunged into the nearest machine.

With a violent whirl like being caught in a vortex, he realized that he seemed to have succeeded.

……

It seems like a long time, but also like a short moment.

The feeling of swimming along an unfamiliar pipeline suddenly disappeared.

Jiang Xia found that she had an "entity" again.

He opened his eyes and appeared on a shady stone alley.

The surroundings resembled London at the end of the nineteenth century, with leaden clouds hanging in the sky, heavy smog hanging in the air, and a depressing and unpleasant smell drifting away.There is still a puddle of almost black water under the feet.

Jiang Xia retracted her toes that had stepped on the stagnant water.

Following his movements, a layer of water waves slowly spread.All phenomena and physical sensations seem to be exactly the same as the real world, and he seems to have traveled forward for more than 100 years suddenly.

But no matter how realistic the environment looks, Jiang Xia knows it very well.

- This is not the real world.

Rather, it is more similar to the consciousness space like the tattoo space.However, compared with the tattoo space, this space uses more frames in reality.

"..." A "holographic game" that is almost a hundred years ahead of time, like time travel.It turned out to be something like this...

……

Still busy looking for ghosts, Jiang Xia didn't think too much about it.

He looked around, and his gaze quickly fell to the other side of Stone Street.

——At the end of the street, there is a small building in the style of a church.It has white walls and pointed tiles, and the main body seems to be made of heavy stones.Several windows made of colored broken glass are sporadically inlaid on the wall.

In this dark and gloomy neighborhood, as if sleeping before going to work, only that building was glowing with faint candlelight.

There seemed to be the center of this conscious space.

"..." should be there.

Jiang Xia looked at it for a moment, planning to find the ghost.

Just as he took a step, his eyes suddenly twisted.

Immediately afterwards, a reddish dim light gradually appeared in the originally dark eyes.

"...What are you excited about?" Jiang Xia paused for a moment, and quickly continued to move forward as if nothing had happened. He spoke softly, as if talking to some annoying things that he couldn't see, "No matter how many ghosts I throw, it's not your turn to play ..."

……

in the real world.The ghost mint smoke drifted, poured into the bedroom along the crack of the door, entered the tattoo space left on the body, and finally replenished the soul continuously.

To deal with ghost snatchers, you don't need much murderous aura, but internal friction is quite necessary.The connection between the tattoo space and the psychic himself is much stronger than the connection between it and the ghosts.The murderous aura can still be transported, but the delay is a bit higher.

Jiang Xia took a breath of murderous intent, and the strange red light in his eyes slowly faded away.

He collected himself and walked towards the small building where there was a high probability of hiding ghosts.

Just after taking two steps, the air in front of him suddenly rippled, as if it had hit some invisible barrier.

Immediately afterwards, something like a text box appeared there: [Access forbidden]
Jiang Xia was startled, turned around and walked behind.

[No Access]
"..."

A few seconds later, after several trials.

Jiang Xia discovered that this strange "air wall" is not only on one side, but everywhere.Even the top of the head can be touched.

It is like an upside-down crystal fish tank, which locks guests in very unfriendlyly, and there is "no authority" to go anywhere.

"..."

After a moment of silence, Jiang Xia turned her head and looked at the floor-to-ceiling windows of the coffee shop next to her.

He stared at himself in the mirror, and said skillfully, "Do you think there is a paradise in this world?"

……

the other side.

Noah, who sneaked into the real world, didn't know that there were unexpected guests in his "home".

He followed the path that Miyano Akemi and Matsuda Jinpei had come to, and returned the same way.

He originally planned to enter the body of a detective and use this "borrowed" body to save people - he had already planned the fastest route to stop Sindora, and he just had to move forward.

However, in the next second, Noah, full of expectations, plunged into the air.

Noah: "...?"

... Where's the body? !
His consciousness has been caught into the space by him, the body should still be stuck in place...

……

The conscious body under the bonus of information flow cannot stay in the real space for too long.

Noah couldn't find the body, so he had to rely on his intuition, gritted his teeth and rushed towards the corner for a while, wanting to see if it was Jiang Xia's body after the soul was captured, and then walked a few steps forward by inertia.

However, the corridor was empty, and there was no sign of Jiang Xia at all.

Two seconds later, the conscious body collapsed unwillingly in the air.

……

Noah was forced to retreat into its consciousness space.

In its eyes, the data flashed like a long river, mobilizing and tracing back the data in the museum, especially the cameras in several key passages around here.

Jiang Xia's figure was captured in several frames, which were quickly spliced ​​into a complete message.

Noah looked at the screen, after being "captured by the conscious body" by him, he steadily left the body that was obviously still controlled by someone, and his thinking froze for a moment.

"……"how so?
