Chapter 581: Failed to Ask for Equipment
Control Center.
Kudo Yusaku frowned as he listened, then stepped forward and asked, "What does it mean to let Japan start over?"
Noah's Ark's voice continued to echo inside the game and in the outside world, directly mocking, "Everyone inside here can't hear the outside world, but just now Master asked me a question, so I will answer it for everyone. Seeing your appearances, I presume the sons of corrupt Politicians will only become corrupt Politicians, and the sons of Doctors who only think about making money will ultimately become that kind of Doctor. If you want Japan to become better, you must eliminate this connection once and for all!"
"Does that include Hiroki's Godfather?"
Kudo Yusaku didn't mix Noah's Ark and Sawada Hiroki together.
In his view, Noah's Ark was an artificial intelligence created by Hiroki, perhaps containing a portion of Sawada Hiroki's thought, but ultimately it was another individual.
Especially Noah's Ark, capable of doing such a thing, made it impossible for him to associate it with that well-behaved and shy Child who smiled.
"Of course not," Noah's Ark said without hesitation, "But he also has to complete the tester's work. I won't let him help the Children! Of course, that test work might be one year, it might be two years, or it might be ten years. Once he completes the test task, I can also release the Children."
Kudo Yusaku rubbed his chin, pondering.
The current way to break the deadlock is either for the Children to win, or for Chi Feichi to complete the test.
But Noah's Ark's purpose is likely to keep Chi Feichi in the game to keep him company.
Then Chi Feichi's test will probably encounter trouble, or rather, the things that need to be 'tested' will last for several years.
And there's no way they can wait several years; in just a few days, those Children will slowly die due to dehydration or other reasons.
In other words, there seem to be two solutions, but in reality, they can only rely on the Children to clear the game. At least, don't expect Chi Feichi to be of any help...
"Alright! Stop causing trouble!" Mori Kogoro was furious upon hearing this, smashing his fist on the Countertop. "Do you have the right to toy with Human life?"
"I don't," Noah's Ark's voice was low, "Just like Master has no right to toy with Hiroki's life!"
...
In the Game.
London Stage.
Late night, classical-style Buildings stood on both sides of the Street.
In the thick fog, gas Street Lamps emitted dim yellow light, illuminating parts of the brick wall, but most Places remained pitch black.
Chi Feichi walked on the Road, raised his hand to knocked on a brick, and wrote and drew in a notebook.
In his ear, Noah's Ark's words to the outside world also reached him.
Sawada Hiroki's projection appeared by the Roadside, "Godfather, is it okay if I say this? If you help them and let the game end without suspense, it won't be interesting."
"Okay, I won't help," Chi Feichi continued writing and drawing in his notebook, "Just test."
"Then I'll broadcast the game trailer for the five Stages to them now..." Sawada Hiroki's projection vanished again.
Chi Feichi stood under the Street Lamp, observed the Street Lamp for a moment, leapt up and stepped onto the Wall, reached out and smashed a Street Lamp, continuing to record the Street Lamp's realism.
He was serious about doing game tests.
Strolling through London in this era was just a side activity.
Huh? The fragments on the Ground can still be pieced together?
The game really restored the characteristics of gas lamps, the realism is very high.
Five minutes later, a Stone Gate on the Streetside lit up.
Conan, Ayumi, Genta, Mitsuhiko, Haibara Ai, Suzuki Sonoko, Mouri Ran, Hideki Morohoshi (who was impersonated by Sawada Hiroki), and Hideki Morohoshi's three original Companions walked out of the Light Gate in a row, looking around at this silent and old World.
"This is the City of Dense Fog, London," Mouri Ran looked at the gloomy Street. In the thick fog, there seemed to be countless dark Corners that even the dim yellow light could not illuminate. "Rather than calling it romantic, it's more strange..."
"It seems even the air is dirty." Ayumi frowned.
Genta sniffed upwards, "There's a smell too..."
Conan began to explain scientifically, "The fog in London isn't just clean material condensed from steam, but soot produced by burning coal and oil, which, when combined with fog, creates smog."
Ayumi was surprised, "So smog already existed in this era."
"Let's hurry up and go, how about we go under a Street Lamp first? It's pitch black here, it feels like some ghost might suddenly..." Suzuki Sonoko hugged her arms, looking left and right, then turned her head. Suddenly, she saw a black shadow on the Stone Gate behind her, and was scared stiff for a bit. She screamed and retreated, "Ah—!"
The Others were startled by Suzuki Sonoko's scream and quickly turned their heads to look.
Chi Feichi, who was standing Above the Stone Gate, squatted down and looked at the group of people Below, "Are you surprised to see me?"
"B-Brother Hichiji?" Suzuki Sonoko calmed down a bit, her face was still pale.
Chi Feichi's calm tone combined with this old Street really gave her the feeling of encountering a ghost...
Conan broke out in a cold sweat, suddenly remembering the horror stories that Chi Feichi had told him in that tone, which had troubled him for quite some time.
With Chi Feichi around, a suspense mystery script could potentially turn into a supernatural horror script.
Mouri Ran also broke out in a cold sweat and asked with an awkward dry smile, "Brother Hichiji, what are you doing Above the Stone Gate?"
Chi Feichi jumped down from the Stone Gate, patted the dust off his trouser legs, and after standing up, took out his notebook and pen and began writing, "Doing game tests, checking if the High-Altitude View is normal, if the falling speed and Space Gravity are normal..."
"Did you hear what Noah's Ark said?" Conan quickly asked.
Chi Feichi nodded and said solemnly, "So I want to test as soon as possible. It's late now, there are no Passersby, so I can't do NPC tests temporarily. I can only do game environment tests first."
"NPC?" Ayumi asked doubtfully.
"It's an abbreviation for Non-Player Character, referring to game characters who are not players and are not controlled by players," Chi Feichi explained, still writing and drawing with his head down, "In other words, everyone here besides you."
Mouri Ran asked again, "Do you have to test all the situations?"
"Originally, I planned to just test a bit and then play with everyone," Chi Feichi finished writing and put away his notebook. "Now, I'll test as much as I can."
"Then how is the test situation now?" Suzuki Sonoko asked.
"The arrangement and style of the Buildings and decorations are normal, the brick and stone texture is normal, the feeling of air circulation is normal..." Chi Feichi said a lot, then added, "The smog is wrong."
"Huh?" Genta was stunned.
"The humidity is low. London's humidity isn't this low, which makes the smog a bit dry," Chi Feichi stated that the quality of this smog was poor. "There's also no feeling of soot accumulating in the nasal cavity."
The Others: "..."
He really is taking the test very seriously.
Meeting someone this calm truly makes you speechless...
Even their hearts suddenly became calm, approaching a resigned attitude.
"Are you really not going to look after us anymore?" the green-clothed Child following Hideki Morohoshi asked anxiously.
Sawada Hiroki, who was impersonated by Hideki Morohoshi, glanced, "..."
He actually spoke to his Godfather like that. He should deal with him later.
"Then I'll tell you, this game beep—"
Chi Feichi's subsequent words were censored.
The Others: "..."
Chi Feichi wrote down the sentence 'Holmes is based on Kudo Yusaku's inspiration' in his notebook and handed it over to the group of people, "Can you see it?"
"Uh..." Conan looked at the blank page, "I can't see it, I can't even see what you wrote down earlier."
"I don't have many clues right now," Chi Feichi thought for a moment, feeling that since he had encountered them, he might as well give them some support. He reached out and felt both pants pockets. "You can't bring electronic devices like mobile phones through the detection gate. My small flashlight and mobile phone are being kept by my Mother. The multi-tool knife can't pass the security gate. I didn't bring it when I went out this time..."
Conan touched his Pocket and found that the Japanese yen coin he had on him was also brought in, but he didn't have the habit of preparing things on his Person, so he could only look at Chi Feichi expectantly.
He hoped Doraemon Chi could give them some useful equipment...
"Bank cards are useless again..." Chi Feichi pulled out two pairs of disposable medical gloves, two evidence bags, several Ten-Thousand Yuan Bills, and a lighter.
"Medical gloves?" The chubby child in pink clothes, who had gathered around like the Others, asked curiously, "Why would you bring this thing?"
Conan: "..."
Haibara Ai: "..."
Mouri Ran: "..."
They knew this.
Gloves, evidence bags... it was probably already Chi Feichi's standard kit for going out.
Chi Feichi handed the things to Conan, "That's about it..."
Just as Conan reached out, before he could touch the things, Chi Feichi in front of him vanished, and the things weren't handed over to Conan either.
"Ah..." Suzuki Sonoko was stunned.
Sawada Hiroki, wearing Hideki Morohoshi's alias, pretended to be surprised, but he was completely calm inside.
He said he wouldn't let Godfather help, so he wouldn't give Godfather an opportunity to help!
"It seems we can't rely on Brother Chi." Conan withdrew his empty hand, feeling a bit disappointed.
He failed to get equipment from the big shot, not even letting him take a pair of gloves.
The Others fell silent.
Just now, Chi Feichi had already proven with an experiment that he really couldn't help. For the sake of the experiment, he even sent himself away.
"I think it's probably for the best that Brother Hichiji isn't here," Suzuki Sonoko saw the Others looking over and smiled awkwardly, "He's too calm, it really kills the passion/excitement for adventure, let's do our best!"
"Y-Yeah, you're right..." Mouri Ran forced a smile.
Although she didn't really like scares and excitement, following Chi Feichi would probably be even scarier, especially when Chi Feichi felt like playing around. The atmosphere might even turn supernatural...
This could be considered finding a benefit to Chi Feichi not being here.
"Moreover, Brother Chi did remind us of something," Conan took out the copper coin from his Pocket, "At least we know that the things in our Pockets before participating in the game will be brought in. We just don't know if Japanese yen can be used in London here..."
"I knew it, I should have brought my chili powder bottle when I came today." Ayumi lowered her head and looked at the skirt she was wearing. The skirt had no Pockets, and she hadn't expected this situation.
"I have this!" Genta took out a pair of toy handcuffs.
Sawada Hiroki, who was impersonating Morohoshi, glanced.
This equipment is a bit dangerous, he needs to find an opportunity to make him lose this thing!
"Ah—!"
A Woman's shrill scream came from not far away, startling the group of people.
"Did Brother Hichiji scare someone else again?" Suzuki Sonoko asked doubtfully.
"No!" Conan's face changed drastically, and he chased after the source of the sound, "It's Jack the Ripper!"
The Others quickly followed.
Conan ran to the scene one step ahead and found Jack the Ripper, wearing a mask and a cape, about to escape. Habitually, he squatted down, spun the knob on his shoe, and kicked a drink can, "Don't think about escaping!"
The Power-Enhancing Shoes didn't work, the drink can only flew a short distance.
Conan was stunned for a bit, then jumped in the Original Place holding his foot, "It hurts! It hurts! It hurts!"
Mouri Ran brought the Others up, looking a bit worried, "Conan, are you okay?"
"I-I'm fine..." Conan felt a warmth in his heart. Seeing someone discover the Female Corpse on the Ground, he quickly told the Others to hide Aside.
Their equipment was useless, and they were also undocumented!
Normally, walking on the Street is not a problem, and generally no one would question Children, but if they continue to stay by the Corpse and wait for the Police Officer to arrive, they might be taken back for questioning, asked for clues, and their identity investigated. After being released, they don't know how long it will take.
(End of Chapter)
Chapter 582 Jack the Ripper's Identity
On a Street two blocks away, Chi Feichei also heard the screams, but instead of rushing to the Crime Scene, he found a Library that was closed, picked the lock and went inside, and flipped through a local Map.
Afterwards, he found a few Households that looked like they had decent Family Fortune, picked the locks and entered, and finally got a Revolver and eight Bullets at the fourth Home.
How do you get Equipment? This is how.
Landing without Equipment means you have to find a way to search for Equipment, this is common sense.
His Intention was to find Jack the Ripper.
As for whether taking down Jack would lead to the Ending directly… He would find the person first, then Consider Whether or Not to try.
In Reality, Jack the Ripper, between July 7th and November 9th, 1888, continuously murdered five prostitutes, with extremely cruel Methods, dissecting the abdomen, pulling out intestines, cutting out kidneys…
These kinds of scenes would not appear in the Game, otherwise, not to mention Children would be frightened, even adults couldn't stand it, Kudo Yusaku would not design it that way.
And he remembered that in the original Plot, Conan would encounter Jack the Ripper killing two people tonight, which should correspond to the Case on September 30th, 1888.
On September 30th, 1888, at one o'clock in the Early Morning, a coachman discovered the fourth Victim's Corpse near his Home. Different from the two Female Victims previously killed by Jack the Ripper, this Swedish woman, although her throat was cut, was not dissected, and died from excessive blood loss from the left Carotid Artery.
The screams just now should be from this Case.
Because the Method of the crime was different from Jack the Ripper's usual Style, some people did not include this Case in Jack the Ripper's crime History. If this one is added, there should be six Victims in total.
Afterwards, when the Police gathered around this Victim, at around 1:45 AM, a 46-year-old Female was found dead in Bishop's Square, also with her throat cut and abdomen dissected, and even more cruelly, her intestines were pulled out, and parts of her uterus and kidneys were also cut out.
Kudo Yusaku would definitely not allow players to come into contact with this Case, only letting players 'hear that there was another Victim'.
Chi Feichei walked while looking at the Map.
With his current Location, it would be a bit difficult to reach Bishop's Square before Jack the Ripper escaped.
Since he couldn't make it, he might as well give up, so as not to be caught and treated as Jack the Ripper after going there.
Then…
Go to Whitechapel!
In his previous Life, geneticists extracted Jack the Ripper's Gene from the Blood Stain on the Victim's Shawl, and locked down Jack the Ripper's Identity—
Aaron Kosminski, a barber and Member of the London Jewish Community.
In 1871, a large number of Jewish People persecuted by Russia fled Russia and moved to Britain. Aaron Kosminski was one of them.
After escaping from Poland to Britain with his Family, Aaron Kosminski lived near Whitechapel. He was later sent to a Mental Asylum in 1891, with Symptoms such as Auditory Hallucination, worrying about being eaten, and refusing to groom, and passed away on September 9th, 1919.
In his previous Life, it was because he saw the Report on the investigation of Jack the Ripper's Identity that he specifically checked some Data about Jack the Ripper.
In this Life, this World has not yet investigated Jack the Ripper's Identity, so Kudo Yusaku naturally followed his own settings.
Although Kudo Yusaku did not reveal the Plot to him, he remembered that in the original Plot, Kudo Yusaku seemed to set Jack the Ripper as a British nobleman suffering from a terminal illness, and also set up Sherlock Holmes in the Game. Players could seek Holmes's Help and expose the British nobleman's Crime based on the Clues…
Then, it was revised by Sawada Hiroki to: Jack the Ripper was a Child abandoned by his Mother, and was later adopted by Professor James Moriarty, the arch-villain in Holmes, and became a Killer under Professor Moriarty. Afterwards, Professor Moriarty felt that Jack the Ripper had become out of control, so he provided Clues to the players to eliminate Jack the Ripper.
In this setting, the 'Mother' who abandoned Jack the Ripper was Annie Chapman, the third Victim, who was killed in Whitechapel on Saturday, September 8th, 1888.
If the setting is that Jack the Ripper targets prostitutes because he harbors Resentment towards his Mother who abandoned him, then after killing his Mother, Jack the Ripper would probably also go to the Whitechapel area from time to time because of mixed feelings of love and hate…
He was not sure whether his existence had caused Sawada Hiroki to change the setting, but he would tentatively believe in historical inertia and go to Whitechapel to Check it out.
Originally, knowing the Plot in advance was a bit boring, and if he asked Sawada Hiroki for a Guide, it would be even more meaningless.
Life sometimes needs to retain a little suspense.
After Chi Feichei memorized the Route, he folded the Map, put it in the Pocket of his Formal Dress Coat, and continued walking along the Street.
Can killing someone you Resent and deeply love, killing your Biological Mother, really bring relief?
No, at least if it were him, it would only be more painful, and he would Regret that he had lost his Mother forever.
Even if she was not around before, at least she still existed in this World, wasn't she?
After Jack the Ripper Take Action against his own Mother, he would probably have that empty Feeling in his Heart, while missing the happy times of his childhood, while feeling annoyed and Regretful, and at the same time feeling pain for his Mother's abandonment, even feeling that everything in the World was meaningless, starting self-exile, and being occupied by mad and dark thoughts in his Heart.
No wonder Professor Moriarty would feel that Jack the Ripper was out of control. Being Torture like this, it would be strange not to go mad.
Uh…
Sawada Hiroki's design is quite reasonable.
In short, if the setting has not been changed, he has a Probability of more than 70% of encountering Jack the Ripper in Whitechapel.
Especially after Jack the Ripper just committed a crime and Take Action against other women similar to his Mother, he is very likely to return to the Place where his Mother died.
Moreover, as long as he goes to the Whitechapel area, there is a 100% Probability of discovering Clues about Jack the Ripper.
Whitechapel is worth a visit!
…
Late at Night, dense Fog shrouded the London Street.
A Young Man in a Black Formal Dress walked on the quiet Street, calm and composed.
Slight talking and Footsteps came from the Street Corner ahead, and two police officers approached the Street Corner.
Chi Feichei paused, did not Dodge Aside, and walked forward naturally.
The two police officers turned the Street Corner and saw Chi Feichei, and were stunned for a moment.
"This Mr., please Stop!"
"It's so late, why are you still wandering alone on the Street?"
They were speaking Japanese.
Chi Feichei guessed that Kudo Yusaku had adjusted the Language of the Arcade Machine, but he still spoke English, using the accent Chi Kana taught him in his Memory, his Gaze was calmly empty, "Doesn't everyone have times when their Hearts are filled with sadness and they want to walk around aimlessly alone?"
That accent was not a standard London accent, it had a bit of a local accent, it was difficult for non-British People to distinguish, but if they could distinguish it, they would associate it with his great-grandfather's Father… the local accent of a Marquis's fiefdom.
Now is the Victorian Era, tracing back to this Era, that Marquis was still a distant relative of Queen Victoria.
The two police officers were indeed stunned when they heard this accent. They sized up Chi Feichei. Just looking at his attire and demeanor, they knew he was a person who lived a pampered Life. Their Gaze lingered on Chi Feichei's black solid-color Necktie for a moment, and they were a little unsure how to Appellation him, "Fi… Mr."
Chi Feichei had no Reaction, as if he didn't care at all how the other party Appellation him, and continued to Look Towards the two police officers, as if asking 'is there anything else'.
"Are you new to London Recently?" another police officer said, "Recently, a Murderer has appeared in London…"
"I heard about it two days ago when I arrived in London, but it seems he only Take Action against Females." Chi Feichei indicated that he would not become a Goal.
"That's right, but please still be Careful," the police officer who spoke earlier hesitated, "Do you need us to send you back Home?"
"No Need," Chi Feichei refused, "I want to sneak back Home, it would be Troublesome if I was discovered that I ran out by myself."
"Okay, then please go back as soon as possible!"
The two sides brushed past each other, and the two police officers looked back before continuing to walk forward.
After Chi Feichei turned the Street Corner, he Stop in front of a Car, Turn Head to Look Towards the Car, his empty Gaze became cold and sharp, and his voice was still calm, "Have you Looked enough?"
In the Car, the person who was originally hiding sideways in the Dark Place of the Truck Bed turned back and leaned out from the Car Door gap.
An Old Person with white Hair, wearing a Black Formal Dress and a Black Top Hat, Looked at Chi Feichei's black Necktie, Reach Out and raised his Hat slightly, and said amiably with a smile, "I didn't want to be seen by those police officers, so I hid in the Car for a while. I didn't mean to eavesdrop, but you don't look like a noble who just lost a loved one and is walking on the Street in grief right now."
"You don't look like an ordinary Old Person either." Chi Feichei said.
"Appearing on a deserted Street in the middle of the Night, no one would be that simple," the Old Person opened the Car Door, and after getting out of the Car, he raised his Eye to size up Chi Feichei, "When did you Discovery me?"
"When the police officers Come Over, I heard Footsteps and Words, and Looked up and Saw you." Chi Feichei said truthfully.
"What Keenness of Observation Skill, my Location is closer to the Mountain than you, the Time I heard Footsteps was earlier than you, at that Time I still thought I had hidden myself well," the Old Person said calmly, "You originally wanted to Dodge into the Alley, but because you noticed me, you didn't Dodge, right? I Saw your Hesitation, although that Hesitation Time was very short, but were you worried that I would tell the police officers that someone Dodged into the Alley?"
"No, you are hiding well, if there are no Accidents, you won't be nosy to provoke the Police's Attention," Chi Feichei also sized up the Old Person, "I just feel that you are more Troublesome than the police officers. If you suddenly get interested and want to be nosy, my Predicament might make me very Uncomfortable, such as being surrounded and arrested."
"It's my Honor to get such a high evaluation!" The Old Person smiled, "Where are you going? I can give you a ride."
"Is it necessary?" Chi Feichei asked.
"Of course, police officers are not that easy to Handle either. Recently, even the Queen's Grandson is suspected of being Jack the Ripper. There are more than two hundred people on the Suspect List. The soul lost Performance you just showed can indeed deceive them. A soul lost person does not look like someone who would Murder," The Old Person Turn Head to Look Towards the Street Rear, and then pulled the Car Door open a little more, "However, they will come back soon to Check the Situation, it is best to have a decent carriage that can send you to the Place you want to go. Coincidentally, my coachman will be back soon too."
(End of Chapter)
Chapter 583 Professor Moriarty!
At the Street Corner, a Man in a Coachman uniform walked out from a Household. Seeing the Old Man and a strange Young Man standing Beside the Car, he seemed a bit surprised, paused for a moment, and then continued walking towards the Car.
"Thank you," Chi Feichei got into the Car, turned his Head to the Old Man and said, "I'm going to Whitechapel, it's just ahead, not far."
The Old Man's Hand holding the Car Door stiffened slightly, but quickly and naturally got into the Car calmly, sitting Beside Chi Feichei, "It's so late, what are you doing going to a Place like that?"
"I want to verify my guess," Chi Feichei said, "Jack the Ripper will go there."
"Just to verify your guess?" the Old Man asked kindly, "Do you have any other Intention? That's a dangerous figure, if you really encounter him, you must Handle it carefully."
"Then I can Consider holding you hostage, to see if he will be afraid..." Chi Feichei leaned back Between Seats, put his left Hand behind his back, and pressed the Revolver in his Hand against the Old Man's Waist.
The Coachman who walked to the Car Side staggered, looked at Chi Feichei in the Car with a shocked and inexplicable Gaze, didn't rush to leave, looked at the Old Man, waiting for the Old Man's Command.
"Professor Moriarty." Chi Feichei calmly finished speaking.
Because Chi Feichei put his left Hand holding the Gun behind his back, completely hidden behind the two and Between the backrest, and the two looked too calm, the Coachman couldn't tell what the Situation was for a Moment.
Professor Moriarty sat in the Car, and was silent for a Moment, "Okay, you are much more dangerous than Jack, but I'm wondering if I've been living too smoothly these years, leading to some carelessness."
He didn't expect that after dominating London for many years, he would fall tonight.
This Young Man doesn't follow the Routine, after knowing his Identity, he actually draws a Gun without saying a word...
After Saying this, Professor Moriarty turned his Head to the Coachman and said, "Go to Whitechapel."
The Coachman Nodded, didn't ask any more questions, climbed onto the driver's seat of the Carriage, and drove the Carriage towards Whitechapel.
Chi Feichei put away the Revolver, turned his Head and Looked at the Rear through the Car Door gap, saw that the two policemen had indeed turned back again, Nodded to the two policemen, expressing a little Thank in meaning.
The two policemen were stunned for a Moment, completely put down their doubts, took off their Hats and gave a hat-tipping salute.
Professor Moriarty paid attention to the whole process, his Mood was a little Subtle, and he didn't know how to express his Mood.
If he had learned Chinese, he could probably summarize it in one Sentence—
This Young Man's shameless appearance has the demeanor of this Old Man in his younger years!
Chi Feichei turned his Head back, the Expression on his Face disappeared in a Moment, and after sitting back properly, he Found Professor Moriarty Looking at him, "What's wrong?"
Professor Moriarty withdrew his Line of Sight and Looked at the brick Street in front of him, "Just a little curious about what kind of Person you are."
"Passerby."
"Oh? Unless you are going to leave London in the future, otherwise you really won't be my Passerby."
"I heard that Professor controls many people in London, it seems to be true."
"Who did you hear that from?"
"Don't Know."
"You don't want to tell me? Then I won't ask, but you just used your left Hand to hold the Gun, are you left-handed?"
"I use both Hands about the Same."
"Did you deliberately correct it?"
"Sort of."
"Another ambiguous Answer..."
The two chatted casually along the way, like Friends with a good Relationship.
From Matters related to Professor Moriarty, to literature, mathematics, astronomy, geography, and then to the terrifying Medicine of the Victorian Era.
Each Topic was not discussed much, just a few simple Sentences, and not only Academic Matters, but also some Teasing.
The closer they got to Whitechapel, the more dilapidated the Buildings on the Street became, and the old Street Lamps that no longer shone stood on the Street, like erect cold Rods.
The Street was pitch-Darkness, the Carriage was walking in the Darkness, and the hanging Gas Lamp illuminated a small Area nearby, swaying as the Carriage moved forward.
In front of Whitechapel, there was a Street Light with a faint light, which stretched the Figure sitting behind the dilapidated Wall very long.
That Figure hugged his Knees, shrank behind the Wall, like a helpless Child, buried his Head low, and couldn't see his Face clearly.
At first glance, that too thin Body and the long red hair tied behind his Head made it a bit difficult to distinguish whether it was a Man or a woman.
As the Carriage approached, Chi Feichei gradually saw the Figure clearly.
Jack the Ripper...
Hearing the Movement, Jack the Ripper's Pupil shrank, and he suddenly raised his Head to Look forward, his Purple Eyes staring at the Carriage were full of violence, and he also quietly squatted down, like a ferocious Animal that had been awakened, and could pounce forward to tear the Goal to pieces in the next Moment.
"Okay, stop here." Professor Moriarty called to stop the Carriage, leaned out his Head, and Looked at Jack the Ripper.
When Jack the Ripper saw Professor Moriarty, the Killing Intent in his Gaze gradually subsided.
Professor Moriarty shrank back into his Body again, turned his Head to Look at Chi Feichei sitting Beside him.
This Young Man also had a pair of Purple Eyes, but from beginning to end he was very calm, so calm that he was like a deep spring, deeply hiding his sharpness.
He originally thought that after seeing Jack the Ripper, this Young Man would show a little different Emotion Transformation, but no, there was no Transformation at all.
"Your guess is correct, he is really here, what about Afterwards? What do you Intention to do?"
"Aren't you going to Chat with him?" Chi Feichei asked.
"Jack is an excellent Child, but he is out of control," Professor Moriarty Looked at Jack the Ripper standing Beside the Wall, very frankly, "Although he still obeys my Murder Instruction, I can't guarantee that he won't suddenly become violent and Damage me, in fact, I haven't seen him for a long time, and the Murder Instructions are all passed to him through Newspapers."
"Then I'll Chat with him."
Chi Feichei opened the Car Door and got out of the Carriage.
Professor Moriarty didn't stop him, nor did he follow him down, just watched Chi Feichei Go To Jack the Ripper.
He didn't Go To, but that Young Man went instead?
It's another operation he can't Understand.
However, with existences that he can't Understand and are worth exploring, Life is not too boring.
Jack the Ripper watched Chi Feichei approaching, first Looked at Chi Feichei's Same Purple Eyes, and then asked, "Does Professor have any Instructions?"
Chi Feichei Walked to the Wall Side, "No."
Jack the Ripper was stunned for a Moment, this Answer was not Routine at all, "Then what are you doing here?"
"I guessed you would be in Whitechapel," Chi Feichei leaned back, sat on the low Wall, Looked at the Car over there, "Professor sent me here, and will leave in a Moment."
Jack the Ripper frowned, and couldn't help but pay attention to Chi Feichei's Eyes, "How did you guess I would be here?"
"You Say why I can guess?" Chi Feichei said, "Don't Look, I'm not your Relative."
Jack the Ripper was a little irritable, it was too much trouble to Chat with this Fellow, and he was not his Relative, he really wanted to just chop him to death!
But...
Why can he guess?
As long as he thought about this Problem, he knew the Answer—the other party Understands his Mood, so he guessed that he would be here.
Understand his Mood...
Just this Point alone seems to make the Anxiety in his Heart disappear completely.
Jack the Ripper: "Then what are you looking for me for?"
Chi Feichei: "To verify if my guess is correct."
Jack the Ripper: "..."
Just this? Just this?
"Find it first, and then Consider Whether or Not to kill you." Chi Feichei added.
Jack the Ripper chuckled, "What? Do you hate me? Intention to eliminate me, this villain?"
Chi Feichei thought for a Moment, "I think your Method of committing crimes is not Gentleness at all."
Jack the Ripper's originally raised momentum collapsed completely, Looked at Chi Feichei, and was stunned, not knowing what to Say, and after a long while, he squeezed out a Sentence, "I Murder, and you tell me the Method is not Gentleness..."
Chi Feichei said calmly again, "It's also quite disgusting."
Jack the Ripper took a deep breath.
If it wasn't because he didn't want to chop this Person to death in his Heart, he would never have endured until now, and would have started chopping long ago!
"I have to go," Chi Feichei saw Professor Moriarty in the Car leaning out his Head to Look here, stood up, "People should not be controlled by Heart Demons."
"Are you starting to Teach a Lesson to me now?" Jack the Ripper folded his Arms and sneered, Watch Leave Chi Feichei, "Before Teaching a Lesson to me, leave a Name first."
"Chi Feichei," Chi Feichei didn't Turn Head, "But remembering my Name is also useless, it won't be long before I leave."
Making trouble successfully!
Jack the Ripper Stared at Chi Feichei's Figure for a Moment, gritted his Teeth, and also Turn Around and left.
Another one who wants to leave, as expected, it's better to find a Opportunity to chop him to death!
Chi Feichei returned to the Front of Car.
"You chatted quite well," Professor Moriarty said, "He didn't even Intervene against you."
"Didn't you See his Killing Intent Gaze?" Chi Feichei got into the Car, "I felt it."
He had some Sympathy for Jack the Ripper here, but Jack the Ripper's Method of committing crimes was too brutal, and he really couldn't accept it.
And he was very clear that this was Just a Game, once reset, Professor Moriarty would not remember him, and Jack the Ripper would not remember him either.
Similarly, he can also infinitely replay Jack the Ripper, chop to death, restart, chop to death, restart...
Thinking of this, he instantly jumped out of the Play.
"It seems you have to be Careful in the future," Professor Moriarty didn't continue to Say, "I'm going to City Center, if your Residence is not far, I can send you back by the way."
"I have nowhere to Go To."
Chi Feichei took out a Notebook and started Record.
High level of intelligence, Reaction conforms to the setting, can parse the inner meaning of Words, has corresponding Emotion Transformation, no BUG Found for the time being...
Completely did not avoid Professor Moriarty.
Professor Moriarty Looked at Chi Feichei in surprise, and also glanced at the contents of the Notebook, "You didn't avoid me, do you think I can't Understand? Are you observing Jack?"
"And you." Chi Feichei finished Record and closed the Notebook.
"Oh? I'm starting to be curious about what Things are Recorded in your Book," Professor Moriarty paused for a Moment, and didn't ask further, "Since you have nowhere to Go To, how about staying at my Place first? But we have to Go To the Poker Club in City Center to find Sebastian first, he prepared a bottle of fine Red Wine for me, maybe we can have a drink together."
"Sebastian? Good Name." Chi Feichei commented.
Hearing the Name Sebastian, he jumped out of the Play again.
The Background in "Black Butler" is also the Victorian Era.
Ciel Phantomhive's Prototype is James Moriarty, and the butler Sebastian Michaelis's Prototype is Sebastian Moran.
In the entire Holmes Case Collection, Sebastian Moran is also known as Colonel Moran. He is Professor Moriarty's Confidant, cunning, greedy, and fierce. He is also a Sharpshooter and a Poker Card master. The Place he likes to appear most is the Poker Club in City Center. Holmes called him 'the second most dangerous Man in London'.
After Professor Moriarty and Holmes dueled at the Reichenbach Falls, Sebastian Moran, because he saw Professor Moriarty fall into the waterfall, also attempted to Snipe Holmes who returned three years later, and was later arrested by Inspector Lestrade.
In the Game, it was that Man who Cheated with Monkeys when playing Cards with people in the Poker Club...
(End of Chapter)
**Chapter 584: Stop Acting, You've Been Seen Through**
The carriage went all the way to the City Center, stopping in front of a House midway.
Professor Moriarty invited Chi Feichi inside. Seeing that Chi Feichi was interested in the greeting cards in his Home, he left Chi Feichi in the Living Room to look at the greeting cards. He went upstairs to change clothes, and after coming downstairs, found that Chi Feichi was still looking at those greeting cards.
"Can I understand this as you investigating who is related to me?"
"How could the Professor casually display important connections in the Living Room? At least among these greeting cards, there are none signed Jack, nor any signed Sebastian..."
Chi Feichi tidied the greeting cards and put them back in their original place.
In the Victorian Era, setting aside the scene of prosperity and strength, and phenomena like sharpened class conflicts, the British Person of this era were somewhat... strange.
For example, it was popular to take group photos with deceased Family Members.
Photography was still a new object during this era. Some people, in order to keep a memory of a deceased Family Member, would dress the deceased as if they were alive, or hold them, sit them up, or prop them up with a stand for a group photo, leaving behind old photos with a strange style for their descendants.
For example, the terrifying medicine he had previously teasing Moriarty about: for a bone fracture, they'd use a bone saw to amputate first.
For example, Noble women would use raw meat to apply to their face for beauty, use rat skin for fake eyebrows, and to alleviate the pain of corsets, they would take medication containing insect eggs to lose weight through roundworm parasitism...
Furthermore, for example, the pictures on the back of these greeting cards were strange.
Frogs that kill Companions and steal money, sparrows that are stiff after dying, Clowns delivering meals to dead Criminal, Mr. Potato wearing a black top hat and covered in pustules, a white monster of unknown origin, a Polar Bear holding a human and grinning with a gruesome mouth makeup, ready to eat...
It really wasn't because the people Professor Moriarty knew were dark side.
In Britain during this era, these greeting cards with a dark style that confused people were actually bestsellers.
After going out and boarding the carriage, Chi Feichi started recording in his notebook again.
The Building internal, renovation style, and furniture style matched the setting. Small item features matched the setting. Paper feel matched the setting. No bugs were found...
Moriarty turned his head and saw the content in Chi Feichi's notebook, "You really don't mind me seeing what you recorded?"
"Don't mind," Chi Feichi was still recording, "If you don't mind answering a few questions for me."
"Oh? Ask away," Moriarty didn't rashly agree, "After hearing your questions, I will decide whether or not to answer."
Chi Feichi nodded, preparing to record, "What are the foods of the Civilians in London?"
Just this?
Professor Moriarty was a bit stunned, then saw Chi Feichi record 'Surprised, Unexpected Emotional Response Normal', felt a bit speechless, but still said, "It depends on the family fortune. Rich households have more abundant food. Breakfast might have barbecue, cheese, egg, fish, fried steak, beer. Lunch is generally cold dishes, sometimes there is afternoon tea. At night, around eight o'clock, there is a Banquet, while general households..."
Diet situation, housing situation, hygiene situation, heating lighting situation...
Chi Feichi continued to record.
Kudo Yusaku indeed put in a lot of hard work on the setting of this era.
Discovered a bit of a flaw.
For example, during this era, Woman value hair and would keep it very long, generally below the leg.
This point was not included in the setting. Don't know if Kudo Yusaku didn't set it this way to beautify the character.
Overall, the setting is normal. Afterwards, it depends on whether everything else is normal and if there are any bugs.
Consulting Professor Moriarty for knowledge is also a shortcut for testing, allowing for a quicker concept of the overall setting.
If it were a general NPC, they probably wouldn't pay attention to so many matters.
Along the road, Professor Moriarty answered with great patience, until they reached the City Center. Only after seeing the Poker Club from afar did he end the topic, smilingly say, "I'm starting to suspect you're just a Noble who came to investigate Civilian life..."
"If you're teasing that I don't understand how difficult the life of the poor is in this era, then I admit, I indeed don't know. I've never suffered this kind of sin, nor can I imagine it," Chi Feichi lowered his head and recorded, "Professor, where do you think is the most dark side place?"
"Uh-huh... most dark side?" Moriarty thought a bit, "Bethlem Royal Hospital?"
Chi Feichi's hand holding the pen paused a bit.
Bethlem Royal Hospital!
A mental illness hospital, which not only admits Mental Patient, but also Criminal who cannot be imprisoned due to the Prison quota being full. There are completely unscientific treatment methods, cruel research and punishment, and afterwards, due to insufficient funds, it was also opened to the Civilians for Exhibition, just like a circus, providing visits by buying tickets.
Even, among the remains excavation in modern times, some skulls are bizarre depression, and some eye sockets have sharp objects inserted...
As soon as he conjectured what might have happened there, he felt a bit uncomfortable in his heart.
"You also have knowledge of it?" Moriarty observed Chi Feichi's reaction, "I think the most dark side place is just there, right?"
Chi Feichi paused a bit, "Uh-huh, is that Place open to the Outside?"
"Not open recently," Moriarty looked towards Chi Feichi, his gaze carrying investigation, seemingly wanting to see through Chi Feichi completely, "If you can stay until the end of November, you can probably go to see it. Although what you see will only be what they want you to see, but... do you whether or not consider staying? Stay in London, This Place is not then boring as you imagine, isn't it? I think we have many topics to chat about."
"Even if I wanted to stay, there's no method to stay." Chi Feichi continued to record.
The setting is very perfect, but occasions similar to that Hospital definitely won't be open to players. Guess it doesn't even exist, it's just possibly 'mentioned by people', and you won't find it if you go to look.
Then, present, the game doesn't have anything that would scare Children or mislead Children...
"Bang!"
Moriarty just wanted to say, heard the noisy fight sound coming from the Poker Club ahead, and said to the Coachman driving Outside, "Park the carriage!"
The carriage stopped in the Vicinity of the Poker Club.
"It seems we can't have a good drinking alcohol here tonight," Moriarty got out of the carriage, turned his head and said to Chi Feichi, "I'll take the liquor and go. Do you whether or not want to come over with me to see Sebastian?"
"Not going," Chi Feichi got out of the carriage, "I'll get some air. Thinking of that most dark side place makes me uncomfortable."
Present should be the time for Sawada Hiroki to manufacture difficulty for Conan and them, so he won't go to disturb them.
If a group of people didn't encounter any danger and just followed the plot, that would be too much meaninglessness. Many Child have been eliminated from other Stages, so a few must be eliminated here too.
Moreover, without predicament, it's impossible to see the real personality of the Children participating in the game.
"Okay, then I'll go to check, and come back soon..." Moriarty exchanged clothes with the Coachman, intentionally hunching his waist, "Hope you won't think I look a bit ridiculous like this."
"Won't." Chi Feichi went to Aside, letting the Coachman get on the carriage to impersonate Moriarty, "It's just a bit unexpected, that you actually go yourself."
"Moran knows I'm coming, he won't cause trouble. He must have discovered something that made him feel the situation was out of control, or a tricky person appeared. I want to understand the situation immediately," Moriarty looked up and lowered his hat, walking towards the Poker Club, "If I encounter danger, will you help?"
"See how I feel." Chi Feichi didn't follow.
Moriarty entered the Poker Club. After a bit, he came out and quietly instructed the Coachman a bit, then returned to the Club. Not long afterwards, he came out with a group of people.
Conan, Haibara Ai, Suzuki Sonoko, Mouri Ran, 'Hideki Morohoshi', the Boy wearing a pink suit.
Only six left?
Chi Feichi looked up and took a glance, a bit unexpected.
Eliminated a bit ruthlessly.
Conan was holding a bottle of red wine in his hand, and followed Professor Moriarty to the Front of Car. Seeing Chi Feichi squatting on the Ground disassembling a pistol, he suddenly felt a bit speechless.
If he didn't conjecture wrong, Chi Feichi was probably testing things like pistols, bullet ammunition?
But, does Chi Feichi this Guy not know he blocked the Professor's carriage ah...
Moriarty paid attention to a bit Chi Feichi, went to Car Side, and respectfully said to the Coachman sitting on it pretending to be himself, "I have already brought them."
"Hard work for you," the Coachman also play possession, a deep look, "Okay, Little Brother, entrust to me that bottle of red wine."
"Okay~" Conan reached out his hand, handing over the red wine in his hand to the real Moriarty.
Moriarty stepped forward and bent down to receive the red wine, and Conan was stunned a bit.
"Being able to contend with Colonel Moran is indeed not a simple character," the Coachman continued, "What matters do you have for me?"
Conan acting cute asked, "Uncle, are you Professor Moriarty?"
"Of course..." the Coachman's words were not finished saying, when he was interrupted by Chi Feichi.
"Stop acting, you've been seen through." Chi Feichi had already reassembled the firearms, and got up.
The Coachman was stunned a bit, turned his head to look towards Professor Moriarty himself who had put away the red wine and returned to the Car Side.
Moriarty straightened his waist that was hunched before, looked at Chi Feichi, and again turned his head to look towards Conan, "How did you see it?"
"You say he says it and you believe it?" Conan wasn't in a hurry to answer, curiously looked towards Chi Feichi and Moriarty.
Seemingly, Chi Feichi wasn't accidentally blocking the Professor's carriage while testing, but...
Acquaintance, came together!
How did Chi Feichi this Guy get mixed up Beside Professor Moriarty?
Seeing there was no more play, the Coachman got out of the carriage and exchanged hats with Professor Moriarty.
Moriarty received his own top hat and put it on, looked at Chi Feichi, and again smilingly said to Conan, "I think his judgment is worth believing a bit."
"You have the scent of natural vanilla perfume on you." Chi Feichi said.
Professor Moriarty understood, asking Conan, "You smelled it when you were handing me the red wine?"
"Uh-huh!" Conan nodded, and again said, "Moreover, just now Colonel Moran said 'Please wait a bit' to you. He would only use honorifics towards Professor Moriarty."
"You recognized me before, was it also because you smelled the perfume scent on me?" Moriarty again turned his head to look towards Chi Feichi.
Chi Feichi nodded, "Yes."
"You didn't remind me before, were you waiting to see the excitement?" Moriarty smilingly asked Chi Feichi, seemingly just casually teasing.
Chi Feichi replied with a tan face, "I think you wouldn't cover up the perfume scent by rolling in a mud Pit with a rotten aura for a few circles."
"I indeed am unwilling," Moriarty again looked towards Conan's group of people, his gaze stopped on the 'Field' hidden pattern on Haibara Ai's skirt hem for a bit. He remembered Chi Feichi's collar also had the same hidden embroidery, the embroidery thread and fabric were the same color, and you really couldn't see it if you were unaware, "Then, can you tell me, are they Holmes' people? Or your people?"
Conan's heart sank a bit, looking towards Chi Feichi.
Don't know what the situation is between Chi Feichi and Moriarty present, whether it will cause any incident to appear...
Haibara Ai's heart also felt a bit tension, although it's a game, but if they are completely eliminated here at Moriarty's, then they really can't come back.
Thanks to [Waki_] for the support, same as always, bonus chapter night~
(End of Chapter)
Chapter 585 What Exactly Did Chi Feichei Do?
Chi Feichei wasn't nervous. He still had a gun in his hand. If worst came to worst, he could just take down Moriarty and use himself as bait to lure out Jack the Ripper.
"I know them, but our goals are different."
As he spoke, Chi Feichei stepped forward again, picked up Haibara Ai, and placed her in the Carriage. Turning his head to Moriarty, he explained, "My Younger Sister is not well-disciplined. She likes to hang out with some rather unique Friends, I apologize for the spectacle. Do you mind if I bring her along? If you do, please just take us to Whitechapel."
The only ones with 'Field' Embroidery on their Clothes are Haibara Ai and Ayumi. Ayumi seems to have been eliminated. So, if he just says Haibara Ai is his Younger Sister from the same family, who ran off to hang out with a group of Kids of unknown origin, that would make sense.
Haibara Ai hadn't even Realized what was happening when she found herself in the Car. She turned her head blankly to look at Conan and the others, who were equally Stunned.
What is Brother Hichiji doing?
"Of course I don't mind. Just bring her along to my place for a bit," Moriarty chuckled, then looked at Conan. "So, what brings you to me?"
He automatically excluded Haibara Ai.
Conan remembered the Serious Business, put aside his Speechless Mood, and his Expression became serious. "That person called Jack the Ripper, is he someone Professor put on the Street to turn London into a city of terror, right?"
"You're only half right about that," Moriarty admitted frankly. "Jack the Ripper is a stray Child I picked up in the Slums. Although he was a stray Child abandoned by his Mother and wandering the Street, I sensed his Talent at a glance—his Talent as a criminal. So, I trained him to become a first-class Killer..."
In the Car, Haibara Ai saw Chi Feichei get in and moved over a bit. She wasn't in a hurry to ask questions, listening to Professor talk about Jack the Ripper.
"Why kill innocent Female victims?" Mouri Ran frowned. "I don't understand."
"Jack the Ripper has become a Murder demon beyond my imagination. This series of Incidents is all because that Child has lost control," Moriarty said amiably. "If you want to deal with Jack the Ripper, then I might As Well assist you."
"As-Assist?!" Conan and the others were surprised.
"Although Jack the Ripper is already out of control, as long as I issue a Murder Command, he will still obey..." Moriarty paused, turning his head to look at Chi Feichei, who had already gotten into the Car. "However, that's before tonight. Tonight, Mr. Chi went to Whitechapel, wanting to verify his Guess, to verify the Guess that Jack the Ripper would go to Whitechapel. I met him on the Road and just gave him a ride."
"And then? Did you meet Jack the Ripper in Whitechapel?" Mouri Ran pressed.
"Yes, Jack the Ripper was indeed there. Before this, I didn't know where that Child would run off to," Moriarty withdrew his Gaze from Chi Feichei. "But if you want to go to Whitechapel to find Jack the Ripper now, I'm afraid you won't find him. He was startled by Mr. Chi and probably won't go there again in the near future, and perhaps never again."
Conan: "..."
Chi Feichei has already met Jack the Ripper? Why didn't he catch him...
Oh, right, almost forgot, Chi Feichei's Task is different from theirs.
It's useless for Chi Feichei to catch Jack the Ripper; only if they catch him will it count. But this guy's Speed is still so fast, it's just too much.
Mouri Ran: "..."
Amazing Brother Hichiji.
But, hitching a ride with Professor Moriarty to catch Professor Moriarty's subordinate, and then hitching a ride back with Professor Moriarty...
Is he treating the Professor as transportation?
Suzuki Sonoko: "..."
Thinking about how they walked from the Whitechapel Area to Baker Street, and then to the Poker Club in City Center, and then thinking about Chi Feichei hitching rides the whole time and wandering around randomly, it's just heartbreaking.
Moreover, Chi Feichei even made contact with Jack the Ripper and Professor Moriarty before them, which feels even more heartbreaking.
Annoying Game.
If they could have Brother Hichiji with them, maybe they would have cleared the Game already.
"I don't know what Mr. Chi talked about with him, but a very Weird Situation has arisen," Moriarty continued. "They didn't fight at the time, but Jack the Ripper's Resentment towards Mr. Chi is very strong, so strong that it far exceeds that of the victims. Therefore, if it were before tonight, if I issued a Murder Command, Jack the Ripper might attack my designated Goal, but after tonight, I'm not sure if he will attack my designated Goal or try to find a way to attack Mr. Chi."
In the Car, Haibara Ai turned her head to cast a questioning Gaze at Chi Feichei.
What outrageous thing did Brother Hichiji do or say to make Jack the Ripper not even necessarily listen to the Professor and insist on killing him?
"I Didn't Say Anything, just chatted with him casually for a few Sentences," Chi Feichei thought for a moment, then said to Professor Moriarty, who was standing beside the Car, "He should still listen to your Instructions. After All, there's no rush to kill me."
"Also Correct," Moriarty looked at Conan. "Then, I will publish Information for him in tomorrow's Sunday Times Billboard. You just need to go around and wait for him."
"Who are you going to Command him to kill?" Conan pressed.
"You'll know when you see tomorrow's Newspaper," Moriarty revealed a hint of playful smile in his Eye.
Conan stared at Moriarty with a heavy Expression.
Moriarty suddenly said again, "If you can tell me what 'No Discovery of Bug' means, I might be able to give you a Hint in advance."
Conan staggered, almost falling.
What exactly did Chi Feichei do, seriously!
Chi Feichei couldn't help but take out his Notebook and start Record.
The intelligence level of the NPC needs to be reassessed.
To be able to ask Players what 'Bug' is, the intelligence level of the NPC model is no lower than that of Humans.
Conan saw Moriarty looking at him expectantly and was somewhat Speechless.
How was he supposed to explain this? Tell Professor Moriarty that they are actually Game Characters, and the Fellow sitting in the Car is doing a Test?
Sawada Hiroki, who was replacing Morohoshi, saw Conan looking like he was 'defeated by an NPC' and couldn't bear to increase the difficulty any further.
"You don't want to say? Alright then, I won't ask," Moriarty turned and got into the Car. "Let's talk about it when you want to tell me."
"Why are you helping us?" Mouri Ran couldn't help but ask.
Moriarty wasn't in a hurry to answer. After settling down in the Car, he turned his head and asked Chi Feichei, "What do you think?"
Chi Feichei thought of a Sentence from "Black Butler."
"Things that become Obstacles are best discarded."
The Carriage drove forward, leaving the calm and Indifference Words behind.
Conan was stunned for a moment, then was left Speechless. He was in no Mood to remind Moriarty to be careful about the Decisive Battle at Reichenbach three years later.
"Brother Hichiji is gone, and he took Ai with him," Suzuki Sonoko counted the number of people. "In This Case, there are only five of us left..."
"It's right to let Haibara follow him," Conan regained his thoughts and explained, "Because now even the Professor isn't sure if Jack the Ripper will still listen to him, so we must split Personnel to pay attention to Brother Ike's Situation. And we will go find the Goal designated by the Professor and split up."
"If Jack the Ripper doesn't attack the Goal designated by the Professor tomorrow, but chooses to attack Brother Hichiji, and only Ai is there, she won't be able to Handle it, right?" Mouri Ran said worriedly.
"Don't worry, although Brother Chi can't Help, he can act in self-defense," Conan laughed. "As long as he Seizes Jack the Ripper, and Haibara provides a little Help, then it can be considered Haibara cleared the level, and we will also win. Her side is the least worrying. Moreover, Brother Chi didn't give us no Hints... The Professor said, Brother Chi went to Whitechapel to find Jack the Ripper, right? Then, Jack the Ripper's Mother should be Annie Chapman, who was Murdered in Whitechapel on Saturday."
"What does that mean?" Suzuki Sonoko asked in Doubt.
"Tomorrow we can go to Whitechapel to Check, maybe there will be some Clues," Conan stroked his chin. "Moreover, I remember Holmes' Notes mentioned that two Rings, one large and one small, were found near Annie Chapman's Corpse. The size of the small one is only something a Child could wear. I think that Ring should be what Annie left to Jack the Ripper when he was a Child. If he has been wearing it, one of his Fingers will be much thinner..."
Sawada Hiroki: "..."
Isn't Godfather secretly Helping?
He suspects Godfather and this glasses-wearing Kid are putting on a Play for him!
This...
Never Mind, anyway, someone in the Game has to provide Help to the Players to advance the Game progress.
His Purpose is not to trap everyone to death, but to reveal Thomas's background.
...
On the other side.
The Carriage drove all the way and finally stopped in front of the House where Professor Moriarty had brought Chi Feichei before.
After Moriarty got out of the Car, Chi Feichei also got out of the Car with Haibara Ai and followed him Inside the Room.
The Wood in the Fireplace was still burning, making the whole Room warm.
London is humid and rainy, and the Temperature in the Game is also very Cold. Having a Fireplace is indeed much better.
Haibara Ai Looked at the Coat on her body, "I forgot to return Mitsuhiko's Coat to him."
"One Night, it will pass quickly," Chi Feichei said.
This is a Game, it's impossible to really spend several Hours.
One Night in the Game is actually at most half an Hour.
Moriarty stood by the Table and poured Red Wine into the Decanter. "The first and second Rooms on the left can be for you to Rest. You can go Check them out first."
Chi Feichei picked up the idle Gas Lamp on the Table, adjusted it, and waited for the Light to come on before taking Haibara Ai to Look at the Room.
After Haibara Ai entered the Door, she secretly closed the Door, then turned her head back to Look at Moriarty, who was leisurely looking for Cups Outside through the Door Crack, and asked in a low voice, "Brother Hichiji, what's going on? You and the Professor..."
"Just Like he said, I met him on the Road to Whitechapel," Chi Feichei sized up the Room. It wasn't big or bright, but it was very warm. "In short, if Jack the Ripper comes to find me, I'll take him down, and you Help me, and that will be considered clearing the level."
"Oh? That's really simple." Haibara Ai leaned against the Wall Side. "What about Conan and the others? Are we not going to bother with them?"
"Someone has to keep an eye on the Goal designated by the Professor After All." As Chi Feichei spoke, he turned around and went out the Door, saying in a low voice, "Let's go drink. I want to Test the Taste effect. Also, later I want to Test if I can sleep in the Game."
Haibara Ai followed him out the Door with a face full of black lines.
Conan and the others are wandering the Street, running around everywhere, while they are staying with the big villain Professor Moriarty here with food and lodging. The gap is really too big...
However, she is also curious about what high-quality Red Wine from more than a hundred years ago tastes like.
This is in the Game, a Child drinking just a little bit... of Liquor, should be okay, right?
