Science: The Little Shota of the Maori Family

"Okay then." Xiaolan had no choice but to accept "723".

Fortunately, Genta is fat enough, so Xiaolan can fit into his clothes. If it were Mitsuhiko or Watanabe Toru, there would be no need for that.

Hideki Moroboshi and others watched Watanabe Toru and others silently from the side.

Just as everyone continued to move forward, the voice of Dr. Agasa suddenly rang out in the air: "Xiaolan, Xiaoai, can you hear me?"

Xiaolan was slightly stunned, then quickly said: "Doctor, I can hear you."

"Listen carefully." Dr. Agasa's voice continued, "In this level, if you get hurt or are caught by the enemy or the police, you're out. You're currently in the Whitechapel area of ​​Eastview. From there, to the location of the character who can help you... zizizizizi..."

A burst of electric sound drowned out Dr. Agasa's words.

"Doctor, what's wrong?" Xiaolan didn't know the reason, so she looked up and asked Dr. Agasa loudly.

"Wow..."

The bridge where everyone was standing suddenly collapsed at this moment.

"Run."

Watanabe Toru shouted loudly to Haibara and others, then he took Xiaolan's hand and ran to the other end of the bridge.

"what--"

The accident came too suddenly. A friend of Hideki Moroboshi had no time to react and fell directly under the bridge and disappeared.

At the same time, Noah's Ark's warning sounded in the real world: "It seems you haven't figured out yet. This game is completely controlled by me. Trying to use those cunning methods is useless. I'll let you listen to the sound over there. Enjoy the children's screams of pain."

In the game control room, Maori Kogoro gritted his teeth and said, "How can there be a computer with such a bad personality? Doctor, is there no other way?"

Dr. Agasa shook his head helplessly: "Now it all depends on the children's own efforts."

game world.

Mitsuhiko looked up at the sky and sighed, "I can't hear the doctor's voice anymore."

"It looks like Noah's Ark cut off the communication," Huiyuan said calmly. "The sudden break in the bridge just now must have been caused by him."

"Then how can we find a character to help us?" Mitsuhiko became a little anxious.

Haibara did not answer, but looked at Watanabe Toru, the meaning was already very clear.

Watanabe Toru said, "Didn't the police officer just give us a tip? Contact Inspector Lestrade."

"But, I remember that Inspector Lestrade is a character who only appears in novels?" Xiaolan, who knew a little about this character, suddenly asked in confusion.

Huibara explained, "This shows that this is a world where reality and fiction are mixed together."

"So, does that mean the character who helps us will be?"

"Yes, it should be Sherlock Holmes." Watanabe Toru nodded.

"really?"

As soon as they heard the name, Yuantai and the other two became excited and forgot the horror they had just experienced.

Mitsuhiko also gained confidence: "Having Holmes is like having the power of a hundred more people."

"This way, we have definitely passed this level." Yuan Tai raised his hand, as if he had seen the dawn of victory: "Let's go to Baker Street quickly."

With a goal in mind, everyone became more confident and headed towards Baker Street.

"Na."

Walking down the street, Moroboshi Hideki suddenly stopped, looked up at the Big Ben not far away, and said, "Don't you think that clock is weird?"

At his reminder, everyone looked up.

Only then did I realize that the time on Big Ben was actually moving counterclockwise.

Mitsuhiko looked incredulous: "How can the clock run counterclockwise?"

Watanabe Toru took a look and told them the answer directly: "That's the number of children participating in the game. If you go back one minute, it means that one child is eliminated in another game."

"So that's it." Everyone suddenly realized.

The group continued walking forward, and on the side of the road, they heard two policemen saying that a new victim had been found in another alley.

"How terrifying." Ayumi said timidly, "We seem to have come to a very absurd world."

Huiyuan remained calm and simply said, "Although London at the end of the world is said to be the last era of peace and prosperity in the Great Y Empire, in reality, it is an era with a huge gap between the rich and the poor, extremely brutal criminal methods, and sinister people."

Xiaolan added: "I once heard Shinichi say that if Sherlock Holmes is compared to the light of the times, then Jack the Ripper is the shadow of darkness."

"Then we have to find Sherlock Holmes immediately." Mitsuhiko said, "With his help, we can complete the game."

"That's right." 5.7

"Keep going towards Baker Street."

Holmes is like a placebo for everyone, able to temporarily eliminate the fear in the hearts of several children.

"Be careful of Jack the Ripper, he's waiting for you on the road at night..."

At this moment, a man wearing a tattered coat and with a stubble on his face walked towards them, playing the instrument in his hand. While singing, he glanced at Watanabe Toru and the others with his deep eyes.

"If you don't want to die, what should you do? You have to be covered in blood..."

Looking at the man's departing back, Moroboshi Hideki suddenly asked, "What does he mean? Is he saying that we should kill the other person before we get killed?"

Watanabe Toru looked at him deeply, then withdrew his gaze and said calmly, "Let's go."

406: Dangerous Person

Baker Street.

According to the address I remembered, I arrived at Holmes's house.

"This should be it. This is the apartment he rented with Dr. Watson."

Xiaolan went forward and knocked on the door. After a while, footsteps were heard from inside. The door opened and an elderly woman appeared in front of everyone. She looked at Watanabe Toru and others and asked, "It's so late, who is it?"

"Well, it's like this..." Xiaolan explained: "I'm Mao Lilan, and I want to meet Mr. Holmes."

The woman sighed, "But Mr. Holmes and Dr. Watson are away on business and are not at home."

"On business trip?"

"That's right." The old woman nodded slightly. "They went to Dartmore."

"Strange, how could this happen..." Xiaolan frowned slightly, then remembered something and asked, "Excuse me, what day is it today?"

"September 30th."

"I see." Xiaolan suddenly realized: "They all just left London at this time."

"how so."

"Isn't Holmes at home? 08"

Upon hearing that Holmes was not at home, Yuantai and others were all dejected. They had thought that as long as they found Holmes, they could easily win the game. However, the situation has reversed. Holmes has left London and the clues have been interrupted, leaving them confused again.

"Ah, you helped Mr. Holmes solve a case two weeks ago and made a great contribution, right?" The woman suddenly looked at the children and said, "Would you like to come in and sit for a while? I can make you some hot milk tea."

After saying that, he turned and went into the house.

"Eh?"

The children looked at each other, somewhat puzzled by the woman's attitude towards them and why she suddenly became so familiar with them.

"She seems to have confused us with the wrong person." Ayumi whispered.

"I think she must have confused us with the Baker Street Guerrillas," Watanabe Toru explained. "After all, we were just kids and knew Holmes. It's normal for her to get confused if she's never seen him in person. But this way, we can get into Holmes's apartment, which is a pleasant surprise."

Several people walked into the apartment together.

The children were overwhelmed by the various furnishings in the apartment.

Yuan Tai looked around excitedly: "Great, it's exactly like what we saw on TV."

The woman smiled and said, "You guys should take a good rest until I make some hot milk tea."

Xiaolan quickly bowed and thanked: "Thank you for your hospitality."

"Hey, look at this photo."

Mitsuhiko suddenly pointed at the photo on the cabinet and said excitedly, "Don't you think he looks like someone?"

Genta and Ayumi hurried over.

Ayumi agreed: "Although he has hair, this is Professor Agasa."

"This is Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson, right?" Mitsuhiko said, "They're really funny."

When everyone was immersed in the world of Sherlock Holmes, Moroboshi Hideki suddenly said, "Hey, we don't have time to waste here now."

"So what should we do now?" his friend asked.

Moroboshi Hideki nudged Watanabe Toru with his mouth and said, "Why not ask him?"

Watanabe Toru glanced at Moroboshi Hideki, unsure if he knew his true identity, but he didn't care. He said, "Since you are Sherlock Holmes, he must have collected a lot of information about Jack the Ripper. Let's split up and look for it."

At Toru Watanabe's reminder, everyone began to look for information about Jack the Ripper on the bookshelf.

Yuantai flipped open one of the books, feeling a bit bewildered. "But it's all written in incomprehensible English. How can I find it? Let me see. It's about a preliminary investigation of a crime... Huh? I can actually understand it. Am I a genius?"

"Me too."

"I understand that, too."

Ayumi and Mitsuhiko beside them also echoed.

Huiyuan looked at the contents of the book in her hand and said calmly, "It seems that as long as you are a player, you are set to understand English."

"Is that so?" Yuan Tai was a little disappointed. "Then I really want to stay in the game forever."

"What are you talking about, Genta?" Ayumi said dissatisfiedly to Genta, "Do you know that if we continue like this, we will be eliminated and die?"

"I...I was just kidding." Yuantai quickly changed his words.

"Hey, look, isn't this it?"

While Toru Watanabe was absent-mindedly looking for information, Haibara came over with a book and handed it to Toru Watanabe.

"Research on Jack the Ripper."

Watanabe Toru read the words on the book and then opened it.

"The most recent incident occurred on September 8th. The second victim was Honey Charlest, a 41-year-old woman living alone." Watanabe Toru read what Holmes had written down. "The body was found in the vacant lot next to St. Mary's Church in the Whitechapel area. Two rings of different sizes were left at the scene."

"Ring?" Huiyuan asked curiously, "Why would something like this be left at the scene?"

"Who knows?" Watanabe continued, "Jack the Ripper plunged London into a state of panic. From the unprecedented social unrest he caused, I'm certain he's connected to the evil Professor Moriarty."

"Professor Moriarty?" Hearing this name, Xiaolan couldn't help but exclaimed: "Even he is in this game?"

"Who is Professor Moriarty?" asked Moroboshi Hideki's companion. "You know, but we don't."

Xiaolan explained to them: "He is Sherlock Holmes's nemesis. He controls the dark streets of London. It is said that he has a great influence on the whole of Europe. He can be said to be the Napoleon of the criminal world."

"That's right." Huiyuan nodded slightly and continued, "But Professor Moriarty rarely reveals his whereabouts. How can we find him?"

The question was thrown back to Toru Watanabe.

Watanabe Toru said: "If we can't find Professor Moriarty, we can look for people related to him, for example, Colonel Shebascha Monlang."

"Then how do you know where the colonel is now?"

"I think he might be in the poker club in the city center, which is where he often hangs out," Watanabe said. "But I want to remind everyone that he is the second most dangerous person in London, so be careful when interacting with him."

407: Hidden Boss

After confirming their purpose, several people left Holmes' apartment.

The dark and quiet streets were only occasionally visited by carriages. Ayumi looked at the Big Ben overhead and sighed, "There are only thirty people left."

Mitsuhiko couldn't help but sigh: "Among us, it seems we are about to be eliminated again."

His words immediately aroused Yuantai's dissatisfaction: "Don't say that to Mitsuhiko."

"That's right." Ayumi agreed, "Everyone will definitely survive."

Having said that, everyone's expressions were extremely solemn.
