Everyone is urging me

In the theatrical version of "The Undead on Baker Street", most of the fifty participants who entered the holographic game were rich children, second-generation officials, and other children who would inherit the money in the future.

Noah's Ark, an artificial intelligence capable of self-learning, as the only "wealth" left by his creator Hiroki Sawada, secretly produced human-like thinking when assisting the current owner Thomas Schindler.

——If the children of bankers are still bankers, the children of doctors are still doctors, and the children of politicians are still politicians, is there a future for such a world?

Noah's Ark decided to use the holographic game "Cocoon" as a testing stage.

It challenges Japan's elite, and it wants participants to prove that they can shoulder the burden of the future, rather than become slaves to power.

of course.

And a little bit of selfishness.

It wants its creator, even if it is just a little residual consciousness left by the creator, to experience the time of playing with children of the same age that he has never experienced before.

[Before entering "Cocoon", Conan just experienced the killing incident where the game developer was almost killed, but fortunately discovered in time and sent to the hospital for emergency treatment. ]

[Through the secret code left by the victim on the keyboard when he was dying, Conan deduces that the clue of the prisoner will be in the "cocoon" game. ]

[After entering the cocoon, the only thing that surprised and urgent Conan was that what he thought was an ordinary game became a life-and-death field that decided the 50 people they entered. ]

[Professing to be the artificial intelligence "Noah's Ark" that controls the operation of the cocoon, explained the current situation and the only way for them to survive the game for 50 people-choose the game route and clear the game. ]

[As long as one person successfully clears the level, it will release everyone safely. ]

[Conan is not afraid. ]

[Before entering the game, he decided on the route he was going to, which is the foggy London in the nineteenth century.He has always been confident in his reasoning ability, not to mention that London's script refers to his favorite "Sherlock Holmes" case design. ]

[But when he thinks that there are Xiaolan and the group of children following him to participate in the game, he feels troublesome again. ]

[Plus--]

[At the last moment before entering the game, Huiyuan once told him in a low voice that she felt the breath of the organization. ]

[The news was like thunder. ]

[Conan couldn't help thinking, could the developer who almost died also have something to do with the organization? ]

[Originally, because they were about to enter the game, Haibara didn't have time to explain what she felt, so Conan didn't know who the candidates for the organization members were. ]

[But now, he has figured it out. ]

[Because the next moment after entering the game, Huiyuan took the initiative to hide behind her. ]

[Apart from Xiaolan, there are only two adults at the scene. ]

[Conan turns his gaze to the two strangers. ]

[One is a woman who looks about the same age as Xiaolan and the others, and is dressed like a socialite.The other was a strange man whose appearance was comparable to that of a woman, but who was clearly uninjured and had bandages on his wrists. ]

[Probably aware of his gaze, the man who was originally suspected of being coquettish to a woman glanced at him. ]

[Then the man frowned at him. ]

[At that moment, Conan felt that he was overwhelmed by something invisible and intangible. ]

[It wasn't until the man looked away bored and dealt with the women around him again that Conan recovered from the strange subjective silence, and belatedly realized that his back was covered in cold sweat. ]

[This man is dangerous. ]

[Conan thinks. ]

[What is the identity of the woman whom he fawns over...]

[Just as he was thinking, Conan saw the woman also looked at him. ]

[A similar thing happens. ]

[She also gives him, or rather him and the children behind him, a smile. ]

[It is very different from the one just now. ]

[The woman's smile is gentle and reserved, it is the smile of a serious young lady, but it is mixed with a little veiled comfort towards the child. ]

[Coupled with her kind face, the soothing effect is really effective. ]

[At least what was originally a noisy conversation among the children has now become a relatively quiet whisper. ]

[…… The aura Huihara felt should be from the man beside her. ]

[Looking at the two people acting together, Conan made a conclusion. ]

I glanced at the dimly lit environment except for the route I chose, and without thinking about it, I chose the detective route in London.

What is the difference between holographic games and my filling in novels...

Sensory-wise, there is no difference.

But there is one thing that cannot be ignored. In the holographic game, although I can still communicate with the book spirit, I can't let it be there on call.

Even if it is really called, it is not the book spirit, but the electronic elf.

But the text is fine.

With the text in place, other restrictions seem innocuous.

While waiting for the gaps chosen by others, I noticed the restlessness and panic in the children.

Although I know the final result, this does not prevent me from exuding a little kindness.

Of course, with a bit of deliberate teasing.

Under Conan's serious gaze, I showed a comforting smile in his direction, and by the way, I added a few words of persuasion, successfully blocking the possible collapse of the children behind him.

After a brief exchange, everyone decided on their own route.

It's no different from the original.

The people who chose to go to Wudu with the detective script, besides me and the leader Zai who are outsiders, are Conan and his friends, plus the trio of the second generation of officials who had conflicts with them at the venue before.

Without waiting for Conan to stop, Mao Lilan greeted me first.

"Hi, is this Miss Jiang Chao?" She added shyly, "I'm Sonoko...Suzuki Sonoko's classmate, for some reason she couldn't join the game, so please let me say hello to you."

I didn't expect her to initiate a conversation.

But I guess Suzuki Sonoko would ask her so, it should be for the cooperation I mentioned before.

After she relayed it home, the application for cooperation was formally submitted.

Now, a month later, although the two have not had much contact, but because of the two cooperations between the medical industry and the real estate industry, the relationship is closer than other chaebols.

Suzuki Sonoko would let her classmates and friends simply come to say hello, not for anything else, and she is already considered popular among the chaebols.

"You don't need a respectful title, just call me Ms. Jiang." Naturally, I will not disappoint this kindness, "Or...you want to call me Sister Jiang?"

I made a little joke.

At the introduction session at the reception just now, the Karasuma Group, as a partner, sent someone to the stage, and although I didn't participate, my name still appeared several times.

So everyone present knows that although I look only seventeen or eighteen years old, my real age is not.

After the simple greetings, let's get down to business.

"The city of fog, London."

"There are also women's screams and police cars honking as soon as they come in."

"It's hard not to think of nineteenth-century London, and the famous serial killer 'Jack the Ripper'."

After evading a night patrol, Conan made a thoughtful movement, without deliberately concealing his wisdom.

of course.

It may also be because I was immersed in the plot, and I didn't realize that there was an outsider like me for a while.

"Conan is young, so he knows a lot." We already knew each other's names at that time, so after he finished his reasoning, I said maliciously.

He was really surprised.

First, he glanced at the leader Zai who was astonished with me, and then answered me in a stupid way, "Ahaha, I just like works related to Mr. Holmes!"

I nodded, but didn't provoke him any more.

After the hands of the clock walked back a dozen steps, we heard a sound that should not appear in the game.

——Conan's father, Kudo Yusaku who participated in the script production of Wudu.

After quickly handing over the situation inside and outside the game, Yu Kudo changed part of the code as us.

He wants to cheat and keep in touch with us so that we can use his off-site assistance (knowing the trigger point of the plot and the location of the assister) to quickly clear the instance.

pity.

His move was discovered by Noah's Ark, who controls the game.

Communication with the outside world was blocked, and we, who were originally very close to the first resting point, were teleported to another street.

Noah's Ark brings punishment for cheaters.

It bluntly said that it knew everything in the game, and told us the bad news that the dungeon would increase the difficulty.

I know where I'm going, so I'm calm.

But Conan and the others didn't know, so they were confused for a while.

I think Shirley is quite talented in acting.

Because after seeing that the leader Jae and I were very calm, she knew that we would be fine, but she still pretended to be worried, and only appropriately comforted the real children around her, without any sense of violation of the script.

"What should I do next?" Shirley kept the person who found the suspected organization member, standing at the farthest position from us.

Just like that, she still didn't forget to remind Conan in a low voice, "The difficulty has increased, our target and location are unknown, and the help and hints have also been erased by Noah's Ark."

Conan finds it difficult.

But he was very familiar with the role of "Sherlock Holmes", and he still knew what they should do next.

only……

He looked at me and the leader Zai hesitantly.

Out of various considerations, Conan still took the initiative to ask us, "Big sister, do you want to go find Mr. Holmes together?"

"...What?" I didn't guess his plan for a moment.

"Although there is no hint, we can still go to Mr. Holmes. Because if the task is to catch Jack the Ripper as Uncle Kudo said, then as a 'consulting detective', Mr. Holmes must have a relevant case. Record!"

"And the original book has already given us hints."

"The location of Sherlock Holmes must be Room B, 221 Baker Street!"

Although the face of Sherlock Holmes in the game is made by Kudo Yusaku, the decoration and furnishings of the house are relatively restored.

For me, visiting Sherlock Holmes is more like punching in a classic scene in the book.

I have no reason to refuse.

So I thought it didn't matter and nodded, and then agreed.

but--

"Let's split up."

Before I could answer, the leader Zai took the lead, "Didn't Noah's Ark just say that we 'cheated' and made our game more difficult?"

"There is an old saying in Huaguo, 'Eggs can't be put in one basket', which means don't invest all your capital in one thing, you should prepare with multiple hands."

"Missy and I are going to go shopping elsewhere. If there is no progress on your side, we can find other ways."

I realized that he was deliberately using a Chinese proverb as an analogy.

But I didn't refute his intentions, and echoed quite casually, "Then let's act separately, and the two of us won't get lost."

Conan seemed to want to say something more, but I saw Shirley pull him veiled behind him.

So the great detective gave up the idea of ​​letting us go together.

I am interested.

I don’t know what Conan’s impressions of me and the leader Jae are now?It would be very interesting if we could get to one of the three choices for black in the future.

Ignore the protagonists who are drifting away according to the original book.

After parting ways, I was led by the leader Zai to the other side of the street.

Due to the rapid industrialization process and serious environmental pollution in the territory, the visibility of the city shrouded in fog all the year round is not high.

However, the looming streets, illuminated by colorful lights, give people a hazy, decadent beauty with a bit of danger.

"Now can you tell me about your plan?"

After stopping, I put my arms around my chest and gave him a frank and lenient expression, "According to the script, it is the right choice for us to find Sherlock Holmes. Running around will only miss the key plot."

Although I know that I can't meet Holmes in Room B, 221 Baker Street, but the process of pursuing the truth is often more interesting than the result.

"Isn't it boring to follow the plot?" The leader Jae lowered his voice mysteriously, "To be honest, I also 'went through the back door'."

I raise my eyebrows.

Without revealing my interest, I calmly asked, "What back door?"

It was not difficult for him to guess what I wanted to hide, so he smiled in a good mood.

"It's a surprise I prepared for you."

He bowed slightly, opening the way behind me like a waiter. It is rare for me to show the submissive attitude of a subordinate to his superior. Even his tone of frivolity, which has always been slightly frivolous, is now quite serious. , another newly opened customs clearance path.”

He opened the wooden door behind him for me.

Following his movements, the dim orange oil lamp swayed at the gate, turning the fog into a haze.

The door is gray and black that cannot be seen clearly.

The leader Zai stood at the junction of fog and darkness, looking at me with a smile on his face.

He asked me, "It's just a game, but... are you going to stand our ground?"

"I know what to ask." I snorted.

Whether it is the game or the reality in the novel, my choice will not change.

Choking him, I walked in the door without hesitation.

He seemed to follow suit with a laugh.

Then I felt him follow me, stepping into the darkness with me.

The door is closed.

With the "creaking" sound of the ancient wooden door, the originally dark inner room finally lit up with a light similar to that outside the door.

I glanced at the inner room, and looked at the owner of the room without fear.

At this moment, I already knew what the other line that the leader Zai said was referring to.

There are only two people in the room.

Sitting in the main seat was a man with a black top hat who looked like a literati but actually had sharp eyes, and a silent attendant who looked like a bodyguard stood behind him.

— I guess I know the identities of these two.

They are the famous "Professor James Moriarty" and the professor's confidant "Colonel Moran".

--------------------

The author has something to say:

(bug catch)

Yes, the gift of the leader Jae is to let Noah's Ark set up a new game branch.

↑

In reality, Miss Black Fang has to choose the same path even in the virtual world, not to join forces with Red Fang.

The actions of the heroine in the game will correspond to the ending of this volume.

↑

I'm ashamed to say that although "Sherlock Holmes" is very famous (including the show Sherlock), the author Sang Yuan bought the book, but he hasn't really read it yet (but his colleagues in the show enjoyed it).So I originally wanted to connect this plot with the novel, but I decided to give up because I haven't read it.

The plot of the original book is not written, but the perspective of the heroine is written. Try to finish the chapter and then write the following plot.
