The world of science is unscientific

Upon hearing this, Conan sighed helplessly, "Let's make a bet."

After thinking for a moment, he shouted towards the carriage that was about to turn, "Please be aware of the Reichenbach Falls three years from now."

Yusuke Suzuki stuffed a piece of apple pie into his mouth. This kid betrayed his idol after all. What was he thinking?

Is it because you find Moriarty a very charismatic character and don't want him to die, or do you hope the novel won't end there?

Upon hearing Conan's words, Ran Mouri thought of Shinichi Kudo again.

"Oh, right, Conan..."

"what's up?"

"No, it's nothing."

Ran Mouri wiped the disappointment from her face and continued to recall Shinichi Kudo's voice and smile.

“Hey, the one with glasses,” Hideki Morohoshi decided to step forward and apologize, “because of us, those five people were eliminated.”

"What's done is done, and there's no use regretting it now."

Conan offered words of comfort, which earned him a roll of his eyes from Ai Haibara.

The image of Suzuki Yusuke being shot was still lingering in her mind, and at that moment she realized that she loved that man to the very depths of her heart.

I really hope that scene never happens in real life...

Ai Haibara looked up at the pure black London sky, thinking of the organization's evil and endless darkness, and Yusuke Suzuki was like a star swallowed by the darkness, nowhere to be found.

This feeling made her breathless.

She reached out and touched the coat she was wearing. If we only consider this world, this was the only piece of clothing that Suzuki Yusuke left her as a memento.

If something like that happened in the real world, she would probably be so heartbroken that she would want to die, right?

Oh, and birds too.

If Yusuke leaves me with a child, I should have the courage to keep living.

Wait... what am I thinking?!

Ai Haibara patted her slightly flushed face. The child wasn't important; how could she curse Suzuki Yusuke to death?

"Haibara, what's wrong?"

Conan looked at Ai Haibara beside him, somewhat bewildered.

"It's nothing..." Ai Haibara composed herself and looked at Hideki Moroboshi. "Since you can think this way now, it's a big step forward, isn't it?"

“Yes,” Ran Mouri snapped out of her reverie, “The important thing is what to do next. Let’s all do our best for everyone.”

"It's such a pity," Conan thought with a headache as he considered what to do next. "Yusuke-nii got shot and was eliminated. Otherwise, things would have been much easier for us."

Ai Haibara once again entered a state of remembrance, "I wonder what state he is in now, whether he is in pain... I will definitely make sure you return to the real world alive, I promise."

Upon hearing this, Hideki Moroboshi didn't know what to say. That guy was definitely not in pain right now.

auditorium.

Yusuke Suzuki spun another bottle of drink; the simulated taste was almost indistinguishable from the real thing.

Hearing Ai Haibara's words, he felt quite warm inside. Only after having a partner did he realize how good it is to have someone who cares about him.

As for whether he can return to the real world, he's not too worried. His elimination will only allow the plot to develop normally, and Conan will be able to survive to the end.

Even if something unexpected happens, it's not a problem, since Noah's Ark never intended to kill all 50 children anyway.

In the game, one night passed.

As the sun rose, it swept away the darkness that had enveloped London, and even the thick smog dissipated considerably.

Conan arrived at Whitechapel early in the morning to investigate, and Ai Haibara came along this time as well.

"You actually came along too."

Conan was somewhat surprised by Ai Haibara's behavior.

“I want to help too,” Ai Haibara said, brushing a strand of hair behind her ear, “because there are people I desperately want to save.”

"You're being so obvious, won't Yusuke notice something?" Conan knew Ai Haibara's feelings, but still felt it necessary to remind her, "Someone as perceptive as him should easily realize that your feelings are extraordinary."

"I will be careful."

Ai Haibara's face turned bright red. In fact, the two of them had already confirmed their relationship... but they just couldn't say it out loud.

......

"Awaited!"

Conan and Ai Haibara return to the gathering place.

"We're so slow," Ran Mouri said worriedly. "Where did you all go?"

"They went out to explore the streets."

Like Yusuke Suzuki, Conan can come up with reasons on the spot.

"So relaxed?" Hideki Moroboshi said speechlessly. "Today is the day of the duel."

Just then, the newspaper vendor ran by.

"Jack the Ripper is back! This time there are two victims!"

"Give me one!" Conan quickly told the newsboy to stop. "Oh no, I don't have any British money with me."

"Here you go, 80 yen."

Conan: "..."

How convenient.

Yusuke Suzuki sighed, wondering how this kind of in-game purchase model could possibly make a lot of money.

Chapter 163: Prelude to the Finale

Xiao Ke took the newspaper and looked at it carefully.

"This is it!"

"Tonight, go clean the opera house stage, that's the message M sent to J..."

Ran Mouri read the contents of the newspaper aloud in a low voice.

“M is for J, and Professor Moriarty is for Jack the Ripper,” Ai Haibara analyzed. “They probably want the other party to kill the actors who are performing on stage.”

Conan quickly continued flipping through the newspaper, "Found it! The Triumphal Performance, the idol of Windsor Royal Opera, Irene Andora!?"

That's outrageous, Professor Moriarty, actually sending Jack the Ripper to kill the only woman Holmes ever loved in his life?

Time flew by, and soon night fell.

In front of the opera house.

“There are only 6 people left,” Ai Haibara glanced at the giant bell not far away. “Everyone on the other stages is out.”

"The six of us bear the weight of everyone's lives on our shoulders..."

Hideki Moroboshi and the other two delinquents began to look serious; the immense pressure made them almost unable to move.

"That's precisely why we need to work hard to win the game."

Conan carefully arranged the flowers he had bought in advance and encouraged everyone, "Let's go inside."

Upon entering the opera house backstage, everyone was like headless flies, having no idea where Irene Andora was.

"Hey! No one except authorized personnel is allowed to enter this area!"

At this moment, a man with a mustache that curled upwards stepped forward and stopped them.

Conan smiled slightly, "Now I know where the other party is, don't I?"

“We are friends of Erin Andora,” Ran Mouri intervened, “and I wanted to give her some encouragement before the show officially starts.”

"You are her friends."

“Yes,” Conan held up the bouquet, “where is the lounge?”

"It's in the back room with the posters."

Upon arriving at the lounge, Conan had a persistent feeling that the Erin Andora his father had designed would be his mother.

Sure enough, upon entering, Ran Mouri instinctively asked, "Shinichi's mother?"

“That’s so rude,” Eileen Andora said, speechless. “I’m still single.”

"To be precise, it should be that she became single again after the divorce."

Conan, too lazy to dwell on his father's quirky sense of humor, stepped forward and said, "These are flowers from Sherlock Holmes."

“Thank you,” Eileen Andora said, taking the flowers. “Where is Holmes?”

"He was really looking forward to tonight's stage performance, but he couldn't come because he had to investigate a case."

Hey?

Ran Mouri was stunned as soon as she finished speaking.

Why do these words sound so familiar?

“Please stop your performance tonight,” Conan warned. “Holmes’ nemesis, Professor Moriarty, has sent an assassin to kill you!”

Why did you want to kill me?

"Because he wanted to see the sorrow on Holmes' face at losing you."

Hearing Ran Mouri's words, Irene Andora smiled mischievously, "I also want to see just how sad Holmes will be for me."

"Are you really not worried?" Ran Mouri was shocked. "You will become the fifth victim of Jack the Ripper!"

"Won't everyone protect me, in place of Sherlock Holmes?"

Conan exclaimed, "Wow, this is absolutely a perfect replica of my mom!"

The performance went ahead as scheduled, and Yusuke Suzuki, who rarely listens to opera, found it quite enjoyable.

Suddenly, a violent explosion occurred, plunging the theater into chaos.
