Everyone is urging me

[The action on Conan's side is not very smooth. ]

[Although they successfully took advantage of their children's identities, disguised themselves as Holmes' assistants, and successfully gained the trust of the landlady to enter the mansion, but there were no useful clues in the residence. ]

[In the end, Conan had to find another way. ]

[Through various hints, he finds the bar haunted by the men of Holmes' old enemy Moriarty. ]

[It's just that when he and other partners split up and sneaked into the bar, Conan didn't see the person who should appear. ]

[The door to the bar is closed. ]

[Conan sneaks in quietly through the back door with someone, without disturbing others. ]

[The bar is dark. ]

[Conan notices an unopened bottle of wine on the bar counter, and there are several people sitting at the card table not far away. ]

[But there is no one suspected of Moran among those few people. ]

[…The bottle of wine is of a good vintage, and the group of card-playing alcoholics didn't dare to open it. ]

[Conan guesses that the bottle of wine is probably what Colonel Moran wanted to dedicate to Moriarty. ]

[So he slowly shifts his position until he reaches for the bottle of wine that no one dares to touch. ]

[coincidentally. ]

[The little buddies who lurked in with him were discovered by the group of drunkards. ]

["Don't even move!"]

[Conan is quick to think, jumps onto the bar, and raises the wine in his hand. ]

["If you move again, this bottle of wine dedicated to the professor will be smashed by me!"]

[Hearing the title "Professor", the group of drunkards dared not move. ]

[This is also proof that the wine he got was indeed dedicated to Moriarty. ]

[—Then it is an opportunity. ]

[The case of Jack the Ripper has not progressed. As children, they cannot find a way to get close to the scene of the crime as in reality, let alone have any identity to participate in solving the case, and Holmes, the only one who knows the clues of the case, was removed by Noah's Ark. ]

[The game has stalled. ]

[But now it's different. ]

[If the wine was dedicated to the professor by his subordinates, then he can use this to meet Moriarty. ]

[Conan knows it. ]

[Jack the Ripper is a killer raised by Moriarty. ]

[If the police are out of reach, get the solution from the people behind it instead! ]

["What are you making so much noise about?!" A male voice full of air suddenly came from outside the door, which made the vicious alcoholics silence in fear, "Is this how you welcome the professor!"]

["Mr. Moran, it's this kid—"]

["I don't have time for your explanation."]

[Conan noticed that Moran who walked in had a very bad expression on his face, as if he had encountered some enemy that he wanted to solve but couldn't, and he seemed a little irritable. ]

[Conan confirms. ]

[Molan's bad attitude was definitely not due to the chaos in the bar. ]

[The detective's desire to find out makes him curious. ]

[It's just that now is obviously not the time to pursue this. ]

[Molan is here, the professor should not be far away. ]

[The wine dedicated to the professor is far more important than this group of drunks. ]

[Getting the wine intact is the most important thing for Moran, because that's what the professor wants. ]

[So facing Conan, although his complexion was bad, he didn't speak as badly as the drunkards. ]

["Little guy, if you're smart enough, you'll know how to return the wine to me nicely."]

["Of course." Conan jumped down from the bar with the bottle in his arms, "However, I want to hand over this important bottle of wine to Professor Moriarty."]

[Molan is somewhat displeased with this request. ]

[But a cough outside the door made him calm down. ]

["Well, lucky kid."]

[Mo Lan leaves a path for Conan, indicating that he can follow. ]

[So Conan got the chance he wanted. ]

[The expensive watch makes Conan recognize the man pretending to be the coachman as Moriarty himself. ]

[Moriarty appreciates Conan's intelligence. ]

[He didn't pursue Conan's "rudeness", on the contrary, he saw Conan's purpose with pleasure. ]

["Heh, consult the detective's little assistant."]

["What are you trying to find me for?"]

["For the murder that happened in Whitechapel recently." Conan was not stage-frightened, and looked directly at the professor's inquiring gaze, "Jack the Ripper, is he the one who taught you?"]

["Oh, it looks like Jack has been messing with a lot of people without me knowing."]

[Conan heard the professor's tone a bit strange, but at the moment he didn't know what happened, "If you want to know about Jack, I can only regret to say that you are one step too late."]

["……What?"]

["Just before I came." The professor's face showed admiration and regret, "A brave lady and her waiter with excellent wrists won Jack's ownership from me."]

[From his statement, Conan guessed that it was Jiang Chao and the others who acted separately and had no news so far. ]

["But I admire you too."]

[Moriarty gets back into the carriage and condescendingly gives a small hint, "If you're looking for Jack, you might as well read tomorrow morning's newspaper."]

["Good luck, little one."]

[The carriage drifts away. ]

[Conan watches them leave, and returns to the mansion with new news and doubts. ]

[The next day, Conan saw a certain section of the newspaper and finally guessed the professor's hint. ]

[He decides to save people without thinking. ]

[Even if it's just a virtual game, Conan doesn't want to know that there is a murderer, but he doesn't care about it. ]

[He even begins to doubt. ]

[It is suspected that the professor selected the target for Jack to kill because the man next to Jiang Chao gave advice. ]

[But when night fell the next day, things were a bit out of Conan's expectation. ]

[Jack the Ripper is coming. ]

[But as soon as he showed up and wanted to kill Irene Adler, he was surrounded by plainclothes men and took him directly. ]

[——This is different from what Conan thought. ]

[There is no thrilling pursuit, nor is there a tense arrest. ]

[As if the player has worked so hard to get to the bottom of the level, while expecting what the final boss will be, and secretly vigilant, the game tells you that the final level is a plot kill, and you can win without fighting the boss. ]

[But what Conan cares most about is what the guard who caught Jack the Ripper said. ]

["I didn't expect the report of 'Phoenix' to be true?"]

[...Phoenix? ]

[Conan doesn't remember such a character in the original book. ]

[Just as he was thinking, Conan noticed that Haibara who came with him froze. ]

["Ashfield?"]

["Did he just say... 'Phoenix'?"]

["What?"]

["Among the members of the organization, there is a guy who is even more mysterious than Belmode." Huiyuan hugged himself, as if thinking of something, his tone became anxious, "His code name... is 'Phoenix (Phoenix)' .”]

[The atmosphere, which was originally relaxed because of grabbing Jack the Ripper, is now completely tense. ]

I cheated and faxed Scotland Yard directly after I got the "assignment" from Moriarty.

It not only stated that Jack the Ripper would target Irene Adler to commit crimes tomorrow, but also thoughtfully listed all possible killing plans and escape routes that Jack would execute.

No wonder I'm so cautious.

It's true that the police in games are always one step behind the protagonists and villains (of course, this is not the case in reality).

With my "strategy", I don't believe they can let Jack the Ripper go!

Because of my genius (referring to sending the report letter), the original plot of the game is completely off track.

The exciting exchange is gone.

The classic train jumping off a cliff is gone.

But I don't care about these.

It was the first time for me to experience the fun of reporting by the "Chaoyang Crowd", and I waited happily behind the scenes for the police to catch Jack.

Stand on the roof where you can observe the entire theater.

I hold the drink in my left hand and the bread in the right, and I must not forget to enjoy the fun of eating and drinking in the virtual world. I enjoy the cat-and-mouse scene with the leader Zai.

"Why did you hand over the prisoner to the police?" The leader Zai gave up after looking at it for a while, and looked at me directly, "According to the setting of the branch line, we can use Jack to completely disrupt this city... How good is fear? Use In due course, you can become a second 'Professor'."

I thought to myself, what am I doing as a second Moriarty?Do you want to compete with him for the number one position in the world, and then be punished by Sherlock Holmes in the game?

I don't think I have the brains of the script team, so naturally I don't want to take on the script team's work.

But to the leader Jae, I wouldn't say that.

As a compromise, I can only answer, "You just think that I can't understand prisoners who kill vulnerable groups."

"You know that's not what I mean." The leader Zai was dissatisfied with my words, but he knew how to use his advantage to get my most honest answer.

He chose to wink at me, looking straight at me with that puppy-like look, "Ah Chao, tell me."

"Why did you deliberately follow the official procedure to arrest him?"

——Didn’t expect it.

He has already integrated acting like a baby!

How can I stand this!

"Hey, okay."

I cleared my throat and gave him a calm gesture, ready to tell the truth without hesitation, "It's actually because——"

呲.

Click.

It was as if a TV with a bad signal suddenly turned into a snowflake screen, and a slightly harsh sound sounded, making the original real virtual illusion blank, and finally returned to the original dark color.

I originally thought that even if the plot was scrambled by me, Noah's Ark would go to Kudo Shinichi who became smaller because of the fingerprints found... But I didn't expect that Noah's Ark would also share some codes with me.

"Introduce, this is Noah's Ark."

Although the conversation was interrupted, the leader Zai quickly adjusted his expression.And he knew that I knew this artificial intelligence, so he still introduced it to me like this.

But I quickly understood that he was not introducing Noah's Ark, he was showing off to me.

"It's the artificial intelligence you know, Azhao, and at the same time... it and its creator are working for me."

"...Child labor." I was so surprised that I missed the point in the end.

I just said how his news is so well-informed.

Feelings, he also got an artificial intelligence to work for himself, so he can monitor the organization's news through the Internet.

... Fortunately, Shu Ling was not asked to investigate him!

Although Noah's Ark's ability is suppressed below the electronic elf because of the text hanging, some network traces cannot be completely cleared in the eyes of artificial intelligence.

If the leader Zai knows that I have investigated him, it will be a disaster.

"Although the process is a little different from what I thought, Hiroki said that this game is very interesting." Noah's Ark faced us in the image of his own creator, "Originally I wanted to send you back to reality, but Hiroki still has something to say I want to talk to Kudo Shinichi."

"Why don't you talk to us too?" I joked.

"Hiroki said that there is still a lot of time to talk in the future." Noah's Ark didn't know much about the world, so he answered me seriously, "He also asked me to tell Ms. Jiang, saying 'thank you for saving my father'."

I am surprised.

Glancing at the leader, Jae, I decided not to pursue how they knew I made a move.

Noah's Ark is not talkative.

Although it has not been implanted with a destruction program like the original work, and still follows its creator in the dark, its IQ and EQ obviously do not have both.

Time for a cup of tea.

It said that the actual case was also resolved and we could be released.

I was surprised that the leader Zai didn't take this time to get to the bottom of me, but seeing that he really didn't intend to continue the previous topic, I still readily agreed to Noah's Ark's application to retire.

In the darkness with the only source of light, I closed my eyes and waited to return to reality.

[Among the few survivors in the game, the leader Zai was the last one to log out. ]

[Noah's Ark has a sentence, and Jiang Chao didn't ask until he left. ]

["Although this is the first time I have formally met Ms. Jiang, I think I have a preliminary understanding of her."]

["Huh?" The leader Jaime saw Jiang Chao disappear, and then responded to Noah's Ark, "So?"]

["I thought you pretended to submit to Miss Jiang because of the forces behind her." Noah's Ark said not tactfully, "No matter what kind of case you apply, I can't believe that your obedience to Miss Jiang is sincere."]

["So you've learned to 'grow', but you're still just a program."]

[The leader Zai's answer is not polite. ]

[However, Noah's Ark will not be angry because of this, after all, it has not fully grasped this emotion. ]

[The leader Zai didn't explain anything to Noah's Ark. ]

[Noah's Ark didn't ask any more questions. ]

[It's like Noah's Ark himself didn't know why he suddenly wanted to ask that question just now. ]

[Actually, the leader Zai didn't mean to avoid it deliberately. ]

[If Noah's Ark chooses to follow "curiosity" like a real person and asks his thoughts, the leader Zai can give a clear answer. ]

[He will answer with the text he has seen. ]

[That was the evaluation of the past Jiang Chao in the eyes of others. ]

[And this evaluation became all the reasons for the leader to maintain his impulsiveness. ]

["Because she always let me know, 'It's such a wonderful thing to be alive'."]

[Perhaps for the leader Zai, the existence of Jiang Chao interprets the meaning of being alive. ]

When I opened my eyes, I instinctively looked at the position of the leader Zai beside me.

The barn door opened.

The eyes of the leader Jae and I collided.

He was a little surprised and raised his eyebrows suspiciously, as if asking me what's the matter.

I didn't answer.

But I smiled at him and jokingly said, "Congratulations on getting back to reality safely!"

His surprised expression turned into helplessness.

But he didn't point out the unrealistic part of my words, but nodded indulgently, and completed what I didn't finish, "At this time, should we have a good meal to celebrate?"

"Let's say it first, you can't ask others to add detergent to the wine this time!"

"That--"

"Not even soap bubbles!"

"...Okay, I'll try my best."

Surrounded by the crying and joy of the parents who lost and recovered, this test-themed life-and-death game finally came to a relatively perfect conclusion.

I know that I should immediately replace the organizer to control the follow-up situation of the press conference.

But at least now, I can not think about those troubles and enjoy a short period of peace.

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

The author has something to say:

In the article, "It turns out that being alive is such a wonderful thing", this comment was said by Dr. Matsushima of Wen Yejuan to Mr. Mori.

↑

This sentence is not saying that the leader Jae wants to live because the heroine wants to live, but that he sees her and knows the definition of himself from the group of people who want to live (like you like a certain game, but you don’t necessarily want to be the main character in the game).

What puzzled the leader was that since the heroine hated what Jack did, she could use her branch status and the appreciation of the professor to directly kill Jack, but she insisted on choosing the most troublesome process and letting him be arrested by the police (officially) Live, judge the crime.

The heroine couldn't stand the beauty and wanted to talk, but Noah's Ark interrupted in time.

This conversation will be written in full later.
