Anime Crossover: Master is Not Here Today

Who said no.

Although he thought this way, now was not the time to dwell on such matters. Conan said to everyone:

"Let's start too."

After saying that, he led the way into the stone gate. Seeing this, Bu Mei and the others stopped complaining and followed closely behind. Tong Yao and the others also followed behind them.

At that moment, Ai Haibara, who was originally walking with Ayumi and the others, quietly slowed down and joined Nursery Rhyme and the others' group.

She went to Bo Dao's side and whispered to her:

"Is there really nothing you can do about this situation?"

Bodao is now a member of Chaldea, and the other children should be too, which is why she still holds onto a glimmer of hope for them.

"We're just a bunch of virtual data right now."

Bo Dao shrugged, giving her a disappointing answer, but then she added:

"But if all else fails, we'll have Yui take action."

"Yui."

Ai Haibara looked at Yui in the group, feeling a little puzzled, wondering why this well-behaved little girl could become their support.

Well, let's just wait and see how things develop.

Let's get started!!!

Chapter 237 The Game Begins, Opening Kill

As they passed through the light, the dazzling brilliance caused everyone to squint instinctively. When their vision returned, they were greeted by a completely different scene.

In the game world, London seems to have fallen into night. Under the dim streetlights, the old buildings and streets are shrouded in thick fog, as if draping the entire city in a veil, making it difficult to see clearly.

This is London, the Foggy City.

Conan curiously looked around at everything before him, as if he had truly traveled to London at the end of the 19th century. This immersive feeling made him feel quite surreal.

Ran Mouri surveyed her surroundings. Due to the thick fog, all distant scenery was blurry, and she murmured anxiously:

"It's less about romance and more about a feeling of something eeriness."

Ayumi Yoshida said with a hint of disdain:

"And it seems like even the air is dirty, and there's a strange smell about it."

Upon hearing this, Conan explained it to her:

"Because the fog in London is not a clean fog consisting only of water vapor, but a smog formed by the combination of soot from burning coal and oil with water vapor."

"Oh, so there's already smog in this era."

Yoshida Ayumi suddenly realized.

"Although it's just a game, it's quite realistic, almost like the London Singularity we visited."

Joan of Arc offered her fair assessment of the scene before her, and then couldn't help but ask Jack for confirmation:

"Right, Jack?"

Jack, a local, affirmed:

"Hmm, it's very similar, and the taste is similar too!"

"The London Singularity?"

Compared to her current environment, Yui was more curious about the singularity mentioned by Jeanne d'Arc. As a new Servant, she had only heard Nursery Rhyme and the others talk about singularities, but had not experienced them herself.

"Eee ...

Just as they were discussing, a woman's shrill scream suddenly rang out from another street not far from them, startling the children.

Night, woman, murder.

A thought flashed through Conan's mind, and he immediately realized the objective of their game—

Jack the Ripper!

Thinking of this, he no longer cared about anyone else and rushed toward the source of the screams.

After turning a corner and passing through a dark, narrow alley, he quickly reached his destination.

At this moment, a woman fell to the ground, and in front of her, a mysterious figure wearing a hat and cloak blocked most of her body.

Upon seeing this, Conan immediately shouted:

"stop!"

Conan's shouts woke the other person up. Instead of confronting Conan, the other person chose to run away without hesitation.

Conan knew he couldn't match the speed of the other man, but luckily he found a piece of trash on the ground that he could kick away, so he quickly activated his kicking power booster.

"Don't even try to escape!"

"boom!"

However, his all-out attack, aimed at his opponent, only caused the trash to float in the air for a short distance before falling limply to the ground.

"Ouch—it hurts, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts!"

Jack the Ripper disappeared smoothly at the end of the street, but he felt a sharp pain in the back of his foot, which made him gasp. He hopped on one foot, clutching his foot, looking strangely comical.

Ran Mouri and the others had just caught up. Seeing Conan's condition, Ran said with some concern:

"Conan-kun, are you alright?"

"No, it's okay."

Conan awkwardly lowered his foot, while Ai Haibara chuckled softly beside him:

"We're all just virtual characters in a game right now. You don't actually think Professor Agasa's inventions will still work here, do you?"

She realized this problem while talking to Bo Dao earlier.

"I'm telling you, now's not the time to laugh at me, is it?"

Conan was both speechless and frustrated. Without Professor Agasa's equipment, things would be troublesome if he encountered a battle.

"Did you see it?"

Just then, a childish question came from the side. He turned his head and was slightly taken aback.

He didn't expect that the person asking him the question was Little Jack, whom he had also cared about before.

What do you see? Jack the Ripper?

Seeing the other person's curious gaze, he shook his head and replied:

"I saw it, but I couldn't see it clearly. The other person was completely covered up."

"Is this so"

Hearing his answer, Jack was a little disappointed, but he quickly recovered and turned to Nursery Rhyme and the others, saying enthusiastically:

"Then let's start looking for her!"

"Hey, wait a minute!"

Seeing that the other party seemed to be planning to act immediately again, Conan quickly stopped them:

"We don't have any clues about the other party right now. Searching randomly like this is too inefficient and could easily lead to danger."

"Late 19th-century London was not as safe as modern society; dangerous elements roamed everywhere!"

"Danger?"

Jack tilted his head in confusion, then looked at his friends.

Nursery Rhyme nodded in agreement with Conan's point of view, saying:

"Following the clues will make it easier to find the other person."

"OK then."

Jack obediently nodded and rejoined the group.

Conan breathed a sigh of relief. For some reason, he always felt that Jack was more difficult to deal with than Ayumi Yoshida and the others.

"But if we're talking about clues, that's the only one, isn't it?"

Bo Dao looked at the victim's body; it was the only clue she could think of at the moment.

At the same time, she clenched her fist and muttered somewhat unhappily:

"I wish I could eat her."

In the real world, she could obtain all of her victim's memories by eating their corpse, thus revealing the appearance of her killer.

She can even travel back in time and arrest the other party on the spot.

Of course, if this were in the real world, she wouldn't bother with such things; they're not people she cares about.

At this moment, not only the players, but also passersby on the street noticed the woman lying dead on the street, which immediately caused a panic and commotion. However, some bold people stood directly in front of the deceased and began to discuss the matter.

Everyone immediately noticed that the words spoken by the passersby were not Japanese, which they were familiar with.

"They seem to be speaking English!"

"After all, this is London."

"But we can't understand what they're saying, what should we do?"

Ayumi and the others looked troubled, but to their surprise, the conversation among passersby quickly changed from English to Japanese.

"Ah, I understand!"

Genta Kojima exclaimed in surprise:

"Have I learned English?"

"Obviously not!"

Conan's eyes flickered slightly; this change seemed to be a reminder that this was just a game, not the real world.
