Anime Crossover: Master is Not Here Today

Upon hearing his explanation, Ran Mouri asked in confusion:

"So, you're saying that Jack the Ripper killed people on your orders? If that's the case, why did you kill those innocent women who had nothing to do with him?"

"No, these recent events were not my orders."

Moriarty shook his head and continued:

"Perhaps because he could not forget being abandoned by his mother when he was a child, Jack the Ripper gradually became a killer beyond my imagination and slowly lost control."

"Outside of my orders, he found and killed his mother who had abandoned him. Not satisfied with that, he began hunting women who resembled his mother, and that's how he became what he is now."

"Jack the Ripper killed his own mother?"

At this moment, a childish voice came from behind. Jack, who had just killed several people and still looked innocent, now had a very gloomy expression and looked full of murderous intent.

"What do you want to do?!"

Seeing her like this, even Moriarty felt a chill run down his spine. Colonel Moran and his men gripped their weapons tightly, extremely vigilant, fearing that the other party might suddenly lash out again.

What's wrong? !

Conan looked at Jack with a mix of tension and confusion, wondering what had triggered the other's reaction.

Nursery rhymes and Joan of Arc comforted her:

"That's just a story, and not a very pleasant one at that."

"That's just a setting in the game, and didn't I already say that person has nothing to do with you?"

With their comforting words, Jack gradually calmed down and said angrily:

"We don't like this story!"

At the same time, she also had a new idea about Jack the Ripper in the game.

Jack, class Assassin, real name Jack the Ripper.

More accurately, her true form is the collective resentment of tens of thousands of babies in 19th-century London who were deprived of even the chance to be born, possessing a strong desire to return to the womb.

Although she was summoned as an Assassin and calls herself "Jack the Ripper," she doesn't know if she is the "real culprit."

Although he has memories of killing multiple women, it is unclear whether these are Jack's memories or those of the victims.

Jack craves love, and while her way of responding to love is debatable, it's certain that she adores her current mother, Fujimaru Ritsuka.

That's why she felt incredibly angry when she heard about Jack the Ripper's actions in the game.

Although Jack's condition surprised everyone, things calmed down no matter what.

Back to topic.

After recounting Jack the Ripper's story, Moriarty paused briefly, then smiled at everyone:

"If your target is Jack the Ripper, I can offer you some assistance."

"assist?"

Conan was somewhat surprised to hear this, but he quickly understood the other party's plan.

Now that Jack the Ripper is out of control, he is no longer useful to Moriarty; on the contrary, he will only cause more trouble.

Therefore, being able to deal with Jack the Ripper would be beneficial for him as well.

Moriarty continued to smile:

"Although Jack the Ripper has started to lose control, he should still obey my orders to kill for now."

"Therefore, I will place an ad for him in the Sunday Times tomorrow. You just need to go to the target's side in advance and wait for him to appear."

Conan nodded slightly, then asked:

"So, who did you order him to kill?"

Moriarty did not answer the question, but instead slightly curled the corners of his mouth and said:

"As for the target, we'll find out in tomorrow's newspaper."

Conan narrowed his eyes, realizing that Moriarty was giving him a test.

If he can deduce the target from tomorrow's newspaper, he can find Jack the Ripper; if not, he can only watch helplessly as the Ripper murders another woman.

Seeing Conan's expression, Moriarty smiled again and said:

"So, are there any other questions?"

"That's all. Anyway, thank you for your help."

Conan understood immediately, nodded his thanks, and then turned to the others, saying:

"Then let's go."

Everyone nodded and prepared to leave. Before departing, Moriarty smiled at them one last time:

"good luck."

After leaving the club, Conan stood on the street, pondering what to do next.

Moriarty said the information would be published tomorrow, and it was still night, which meant they would have to find a place to spend the night.

more importantly--

Conan looked at the team now.

After what just happened, the atmosphere within the team has clearly undergone a subtle change.

For example, Hideki Moroboshi and Seiichiro Kikukawa, the two second-generation kids, were hiding behind Ran Mouri, far away from Jack, clearly terrified of him.

Of course, he could completely understand how the two of them felt.

Ran Mouri and Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya couldn't help but secretly observe Jack, seemingly very concerned about his affairs, but too embarrassed to ask directly.

Meanwhile, Tong Yao and the others who were already with Jack were completely unaffected and seemed unsurprised by Jack's performance.

As for Ai Haibara, she behaved much like Nursery Rhyme and the others, clearly indicating that she also knew something.

Seeing this scene, Conan suddenly felt a bit overwhelmed.

To be honest, he also had many questions in his mind at this time, not only about Jack, but also about the situation of Fujimaru Ritsuka related to Jack.

The problem is that there is a more pressing crisis to be resolved right now. If we cannot leave this game, then all the questions we have now will remain unanswered and meaningless.

So he took a deep breath and began to think about how to solve the current situation.

But at that moment, suddenly, Hideki Moroboshi seemed to notice something, and looked up in surprise, saying:

"Look at the sky!"

At that moment, the clouds in the sky seemed to speed up as they streaked across the sky. Before long, to everyone's astonishment, the night dissipated, and a sun rose rapidly on the horizon.

The next day, we arrived.

I'd like to recommend a friend's book, a Prince of Tennis fanfiction that, as the title suggests, can use player templates from the Kuroko's Basketball world. Those interested can check it out.

Chapter 243 The Advancement of Both Sides

Not only did the sky turn from night to day, but the street scene around them was also completely transformed. The once empty streets instantly became a bustling scene with a constant stream of pedestrians and carriages, a change that was astonishing.

Seeing this, Yui laughed:

"It seems the mission in the night scene is over, so the system has directly loaded the time into daytime."

Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya looked curiously at the bustling street before him and couldn't help but exclaim:

"Everything in the game is so realistic that it's only at times like this that you realize it's a game."

At this moment, Ran Mouri also spoke up to Conan:

"Now that it's daytime, shall we continue our operation?"

"Ah, um."

Conan barely realized what was happening and nodded in response:

"Professor Moriarty said he would publish the intelligence in the newspaper, so we obviously need to find a newspaper first."

As if he had heard his words, a newsboy suddenly appeared by the roadside, carrying a thick newspaper, and hawked his wares along the street:

"Newspapers for sale! Big news!"

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

"Wait! I need a newspaper."

Conan quickly stopped the newsboy, intending to buy a newspaper, but then suddenly realized that he only had modern Japanese yen on him, not the currency of this era.

But then, the newsboy handed him a newspaper and said happily:

"Eighty yen per serving, thank you for your patronage!"

"Ah, um, okay."

It really is a game; it's so convenient.

He muttered to himself, successfully bought a newspaper, and joined the others to read it.

The newspaper prominently featured the story of Jack the Ripper, which the newsboys had been praising. Besides the one they had encountered the previous night, the Ripper had also murdered another innocent woman in another location.

Continuing to read on, Conan soon found an interesting piece of information in the advertisement section—

"Please go and clean the opera house stage tonight," M told J.

After Ran Mouri read the above information, Ai Haibara immediately responded without even needing to think too much:

"M and J, that is, the message from Professor Moriarty (M) to Jack the Ripper (J), is quite an obvious code."

Bo Dao scoffed even more bluntly:

"To be more precise, the guy who designed this code was a complete idiot."

Hideki Moroboshi's face immediately darkened, and he couldn't help but speak up:

“I said, this is a game aimed at children, so isn’t this level of play normal?”

As he spoke, he looked suspiciously at Conan and the others, and said:
