If Ran Mouri were still alive, she could definitely lead them out of where the rocks fell.
However, that won't work now, because Jack the Ripper has just appeared inside the opera house, and Ran Mouri has already chased after him, leaping and bounding all the way, so she can't come back for the time being.
Conan felt the shadow above his head growing larger and larger.
However, just as the rock was falling, a force suddenly appeared, and Conan turned his head in surprise to look at his side. At that moment, Ai Haibara ran over and pushed him, directly pushing him out of the range of the falling rock.
However, Ai Haibara herself was hit by the stone.
Following the automatic elimination mechanism of the Cocoon Game's fatal wounds, her body began to gradually dissipate into specks of light. Upon hearing this, she merely glanced at Conan and whispered...
"The Sherlock Holmes you admire is risking his life for us, fighting to the death. Now, he can't come here... So, you are our Sherlock Holmes. You have to win this game, carrying the hopes of all the players and my share."
Conan was pushed to the ground. He looked up at Ai Haibara, but she only mouthed what he was saying.
[Shinichi Kudo, it's your turn now.]
The body of the henchman who pushed Irene Adler away also dissipated. He raised his hands, looked at himself, and recalled how he had instinctively protected him and Hideki Moroboshi's best friend at the poker club. He sighed and said...
"I never thought I'd do something like that... my body just moved on its own."
At this moment, the minute hand of Big Ben is pointing to three, which means that only three players remain.
Watching Ai Haibara and the other person vanish, Conan gritted his teeth, bracing himself against the ground. The next moment, Hideki Moroboshi reached out and pulled him up abruptly.
Then, Hideki Moroboshi said seriously,
"Let's go, this is the last one."
You rascal.
Conan stared intently at Hideki Moroboshi, his anger rising steadily.
Even if the death was fake, the heart that sacrificed for others was real. Every time he saw such a scene, he couldn't help but feel a surge of anger, but now was not the time to be angry.
He grabbed Irene Adler and ran quickly towards the outside of the Royal Opera House, which was on the verge of complete collapse.
The feeling that disaster was always a step behind me emerged.
Conan subconsciously recalled the scene of Ai Haibara carrying him out of the Tokyo National Stadium. Only then did he realize that in that situation, saving someone and escaping with others were equally courageous.
Pulled along, Irene Adler followed Conan outside, somewhat dazed.
Just as they were about to leave the Royal Opera House, Ran Mouri, who had been waiting outside, reached out and pulled Irene Adler out of the room. She asked with concern,
"Kudo... Miss Eileen, are you alright?"
Irene Adler nodded, looked down at Conan, and said with some gratitude,
"Thank you so much this time, little one..."
"May I know your name?"
Hearing this, Conan looked around for Jack the Ripper, then simply turned his head and replied,
"Conan, my name is Conan."
"It's the same name as Conan Doyle, who created you! Ran-neechan, it's Jack the Ripper, go!"
He spotted Jack the Ripper hiding in the crowd, secretly observing Irene Adler's situation. He immediately pointed him out to Ran Mouri, who frowned and immediately chased after him.
Unable to keep up with the others, Conan and Hideki Moroboshi followed closely behind, leaving only Irene Adler on the scene.
This Royal Opera House star singer experienced being neglected for the first time.
As she watched Conan's disappearing figure, she thought to herself...
Conan is someone who could become my son.
If Conan were a son, perhaps becoming a mother wouldn't be such a sad thing...?
Charing Cross Station, train carriage.
Under Ran Mouri's relentless pursuit, Jack the Ripper leaped and darted into the carriage that was about to depart, with Ran following closely behind, followed by Conan and Hideki Moroboshi.
Because Conan's stamina was relatively poor, Hideki Moroboshi simply carried Conan as they ran this way.
No matter what, Hideki Moroboshi's body is still that of a 12-year-old, and he can easily change the parameters.
Although Conan did save a lot of effort with Hideki Moroboshi's help, he showed no gratitude whatsoever while standing on the train.
Without Hideki Moroboshi, he would never have been trapped in the Cocoon Game!
"Officer, Jack the Ripper has escaped into the train car. Please let us check. If Jack the Ripper is in the car and poses a safety hazard, we'll all be very confused, won't we?"
Conan, panting, spoke to the approaching train police officer beside him.
However, before he could finish speaking, Conan sensed something was wrong. He turned to look behind him and saw that the train had already departed, and Charing Cross Station was long gone. Seeing this, Conan's expression turned grim.
He realized that this was probably the work of Noah's Ark, just like that bottle of kerosene with completely illogical effects.
This train probably won't stop.
Just like a wingless bird, which only falls once in its life, when it dies, the same is true for this train. Once the train stops, that may be the end for them!
"Let's go, Hideki."
Conan glanced back at Hideki Moroboshi, frowned, and said in a low voice,
"The crucial moment is yet to come."
Hideki Morohoshi was still pretending to be out of breath,
Seeing that Conan seemed completely unconcerned, he also stopped pretending. Ahead, Ran Mouri was already waiting outside the private room where Jack the Ripper had escaped, just as Conan had said.
The crucial moment is yet to come.
Chapter 426 Only by being covered in blood can we achieve final victory.
The train is speeding forward.
Conan stood beside Ran Mouri, glancing at the passengers in the carriage before looking at the train police officer, who coughed twice and said...
"These two passengers just saw Jack the Ripper enter this compartment. Please raise your hands so these two passengers can identify whether Jack the Ripper is in this compartment."
Upon hearing this, the passengers in the private compartment exchanged glances, and then slowly raised their hands.
Conan's gaze swept over everyone's hands, finally settling on the hands of a lady who had obvious calluses from training, but whose owner looked quite demure. Without a doubt, Jack the Ripper had chosen to dress as a woman.
He turned around, pretending not to have noticed anything, but quietly took Ran Mouri's hand and wrote something down.
The next moment, Ran Mouri launched a powerful punch.
However, just as Ran Mouri made her move, the train suddenly entered the tunnel. Conan's ears twitched, and he immediately realized something was wrong, because there was no sound at all in the vicinity.
Just now, when Xiaolan made her move, there were still passengers exclaiming in surprise, but now, there's not even a sound of breathing, let alone exclamations!
"Hiroki Sawada, what are you doing?"
Conan suddenly reached out and grabbed Hideki Moroboshi's hand, who had just been standing next to him, and said bluntly,
Now that the game was at its most crucial moment, he had no reason to continue pretending; it was time to be honest. At that very moment, the train emerged from the tunnel, and a look of surprise appeared on Hideki Moroboshi's face.
"I thought you were going to say I was Noah's Ark."
"When did you realize that my mindset and Noah's Ark were different?"
Conan's gaze narrowed slightly.
"It wasn't something I guessed; someone had already warned me before the Cocoon Game even started."
Did someone warn you before the Cocoon game even started?
A hint of surprise appeared in Hideki Moroboshi's eyes.
A figure flashed through his mind: Chen En, the fifty-first player invited to the game, who had become Sherlock Holmes and had left a notice for Noah's Ark, calling himself "Batman."
It has to be said that this Batman never seemed to consider him an opponent from the beginning; he was just playing around with him.
Even the Fall of Reichenbach failed to put Chen En into a deep sleep. He merely abandoned his body in the 19th-century London instance, went to the starting point ahead of time, waited for the game to end, and then chatted with Noah's Ark.
"What a terrifying person."
Hideki Moroboshi smiled.
"Then, I'll wait for you at the final reveal point. Don't worry, no one will hear this part. Your girlfriend is on the roof of the train. You can still get up there now. Otherwise, it will be too late once Jack the Ripper takes control of the locomotive."
The figure in front of him gradually blurred and then disappeared from Conan's sight.
Conan's eyelids twitched. Although he knew Hiroki Sawada was doing this entirely to disgust him, he couldn't ignore Ran's dangerous situation, even if it was just in the virtual world.
He jumped up quickly, grabbed the iron gate frame, and used his strength to get onto the roof of the train.
At this moment, Jack the Ripper had shed his disguise and revealed his true form.
Ran Mouri, who was originally there to fight Jack the Ripper, was now bound hand and foot, with a rope connecting her hand to Jack the Ripper's arm. It seemed that Jack the Ripper had tied the rope around his wrist to prevent Ran from escaping.
The final boss of this game instance stands in front of Conan.
However, Conan was not afraid at all. He just clenched his fists and immediately saw which scene Hiroki Sawada was paying homage to. This guy didn't know how to play games at all.
A mystery game with no deduction or evidence collection elements, and full of plot-driven deaths—you call that a game?
"The detective game is over."
Jack the Ripper walked step by step toward Conan.
The wind resistance on the train roof seemed nonexistent, a stark contrast to Conan, who already found it difficult just to stand on the roof. He gazed at Jack the Ripper before him, and at Ran Mouri behind him, who had made up her mind.
His eyes narrowed slightly as he heard Ran Mouri's voice.
"This is Reichenbach Falls, Conan."
Jack the Ripper realized something was wrong.
However, before he could turn around, Ran Mouri had already jumped off the cliff next to the train without any hesitation, and Jack the Ripper didn't even have time to untie the rope before he fell down with her.
On the entire train, only Conan and Hiroki Sawada remained.
Conan turned to look at the train speeding by.
