Conan's corpse picker

Chapter 956 Boss' Gift

For the balance of the game, "Colonel Moran" usually does not make a move.But if some specific words and deeds of the player irritate her, then she will reveal her true nature and start killing...

Thinking of this, the players silently endured all the complaints and said nothing, but tried their best to memorize the key words provided by Professor "Moriarty".

"..." At the same time, Jiang Xia looked at them from a distance, with a slight scrutiny in his eyes.

——I always feel that the expressions of these students are not right, maybe they are thinking about something weird, but he has no evidence...

"..." But forget it, anyway, the vest of this "unknown boss" will not usually appear in reality.

Jiang Xia's eyes stopped for a while, and soon he talked about the business as if nothing happened.

He went on to talk about the life experience of "Jack the Ripper":

"When I picked him up, Jack had just been abandoned by his mother, covered in filth, hiding in the crumbling ruins, like a large piece of garbage waiting to be incinerated. But I could see his talent at a glance - it was crime A unique treasure in the world."

"That's why I trained him to be a top-notch killer, and let him be active in the dark world where he is good at." "Moriarty" said in a relieved tone of course, "That's where he should be."

Conan couldn't help frowning, and tried his best to focus on the key information: "...So 'Jack the Ripper' killed those women who had nothing to do with him in order to get revenge on the mother who abandoned him?"

"Perhaps." "Moriarty" didn't seem to pay attention to such details, he said indifferently, "To be honest, in terms of education, I prefer to promote the free development of individuality.

"Unfortunately, it seems that the speed and direction of the development of 'Jack the Ripper' are not in line with my expectations. Generally speaking-he is out of control. And the series of cases you have seen are also the result of his out-of-control. "

Speaking of this, Moriarty looked at Conan, smiled and said: "Although he has indeed grown to an astonishing level. But I don't like this kind of disobedient pawn-if you want to get rid of him, I can help you."

Conan: "!"

When he heard the last sentence, he was startled suddenly, and vaguely understood something.

Conan: "..." Wait, that is to say, Holmes is not at home, not because Noah punished them by deleting their powerful helpers because of "cheating players", but just replaced them with an alternative "helper" "?
In this way, Noah did not lie - in each dungeon, there is a person who can help the player.

At this time, in this dangerous London at the end of the nineteenth century, their helper is not "Sherlock Holmes", but this "Moriarty" in front of them!
……

This was really beyond Conan's expectations.

He didn't expect that a high school detective who was called "the savior of the Japanese police" and aspired to become "Sherlock Holmes in the Heisei era" would be reduced to be a "teammate" with Moriarty one day.

Conan: "..." But, I don't know why, but I feel a little excited when I think about it.

Suddenly aware of his inner thoughts, Conan felt a sense of crisis.He suppressed this strange feeling of "meeting an idol", and asked nonchalantly, "...cough, how can I help?"

"Moriarty" obviously noticed Conan's strangeness just now.

But he didn't point it out, just smiled tolerantly, and there was actually a bit of the kindness of the elders in the smile, and he continued what he said just now:
"Although he is on the verge of losing control, he was raised by me after all - as long as I give orders to kill, he will still obey.

"Tomorrow, I will publish a message for him on the advertisement column of the Sunday Times. You just need to squat in the past after seeing the message."

While speaking, he stood up, took the hat from Miyano Akemi, walked outside, and unilaterally ended the conversation.

Conan looked at his back, couldn't help but jumped off the stool, and had a bad feeling in his heart: "Who do you want him to kill?"

"You will find out tomorrow." When we reached the door, "Professor Moriarty" thought for a while, then looked back at the players who had suddenly become poor after entering the game, "In order to welcome the decisive battle with 'Jack the Ripper', you You can spend the night here - good night, then. As hosts, I wish you all a very pleasant weekend."

When the voice fell, he pushed the door and walked out.

Colonel Moran packed up his wine and glasses and followed quickly.

On the stone street opposite, a carriage stopped at unknown time.The two got into the car one after the other and drove away quickly.

……

Conan stood at the door, looking at the back of the carriage from a distance, and it took him a long time to recover.

Then, as if he suddenly remembered something, he patted his forehead and let out a low "Ah!" in regret.

——forgot to remind Professor Moriarty to be careful of the Reichenbach Falls three years later.According to the original book, Professor Moriarty will confront Holmes there, and then both of them will fall into the waterfall.Holmes was still alive, but Moriarty failed to come up.

Although Conan knows that "Moriarty" is a "bad guy" in the popular sense, but as a detective who pursues solving mysteries, it is hard for him not to appreciate a smart guy.Appreciated as a novel alone, his admiration and love for Moriarty seems to be no less than that for Sherlock Holmes.

But it's not a big problem. In this game, there is probably no so-called "three years later".

In addition...

Conan thought about Professor Moriarty's young face, and always felt that he was still a long way from death.

And the "Sherlock Holmes" in this world is his father!Although Kudo Yusaku also knows some fighting skills, but...

Bang——

Conan raised his hand expressionlessly, knocked on his head, and reminded himself to focus on the current game - this is an important game that involves the lives of fifty people, so don't be distracted!

He took a deep breath and planned to discuss tomorrow's plan with his companions.

Turning around, I saw Suzuki Sonoko and Mao Lilan had already sat on the sofa.Suzuki Sonoko touched the soft fabric of the sofa under his hand, and said happily: "Professor Moriarty is such a good man! I thought I was going to sleep on the street today."

Conan: "...you just think he looks good."

"Oh, superficial brat, I'm not that kind of person." Suzuki Sonoko looked aside, and quickly said seriously, "Okay, let's discuss tomorrow's game!"

She thought to herself: Today is really lucky.In and out of the game, I met a strange handsome guy.

... Only the point of "if the game fails, the dog will lead it" is quite terrible.

However, maybe at the last moment, Jiang Xia, who was relegated to driving next door, would drive a colorful sports car down from the sky and knock the hateful Jack the Ripper into the air.Then a group of people successfully defeated the evil AI, left the game, and successfully escaped danger!

One must have hope... Suzuki Sonoko thought about it, and nodded silently in her heart.
