Then I waited until now.
Good news: Mary Akai determined through lip reading that the little boy must know the cause and effect of the explosion, and even mentioned a name called "Xiaolan".
Bad news: The report received by Scotland Yard from the children has a wide impact. If the case continues to ferment, it is likely to cause Britain to lose face.
And she was a little overwhelmed.
So she directly handed the case over to her daughter, Masumi Sera, who was still running around outside.
"I hope that child will live up to what she has learned." Akai Mari murmured softly before the window was about to close the connection with the outside world.
She was still somewhat worried about her youngest daughter, who had an unstable temperament, and always felt that she had not grown up yet.
……
"Ah Qiu! Is someone saying something bad about me?" Rubbing the tip of his nose, Sera Masumi looked down helplessly at the freckled little boy in front of him who was telling him that 'Sherlock Holmes is so handsome', "So I said, Sherlock Holmes is just a character in a novel and does not exist in reality."
"No way! Mr. Holmes took the note from me personally and said he would deliver it to Scotland Yard personally!" The freckled boy Apollo Glass glared at Sera Masumi with dissatisfaction.
"But I just left Scotland Yard, and I didn't hear of anyone dressed like Sherlock Holmes delivering the same note." Sera Masamune sighed and explained, "The distance from Baker Street to Scotland Yard is not that far. At least if the time you said is correct, in the time it takes me to get to Scotland Yard, Mr. 'Sherlock Holmes' would have been able to go back and forth several times."
"So, you must have met a liar."
"Well, excuse me, could you please not break my brother's fantasy?" Minerva Glass looked at the tomboy who claimed to be a 'detective' with some embarrassment and reminded her, "It is very important for children to keep their own fantasies in their lives."
"Right! Right! Sister! I told you it must be Sherlock Holmes!" Apollo raised his hand and shouted excitedly when he heard his sister defending him.
"Idiot! I've already said that Sherlock Holmes is a character in a novel. The one you met must be a liar!" Minerva hit her brother on the head without any mercy and scolded him.
"We agreed not to break children's fantasies." Sera Masumi reminded with a curl of his lips.
"I'm his sister, it's okay for me to break," Minerva replied with a wink.
"But will the information Apollo told you really work?" Minerva looked at Masumi Sera and asked.
"Integrating the statements of the children I have asked and picking out the common points will allow me to build a more comprehensive 'mental character model'. So it must be useful." Sera Masumi answered with a thumbs up.
"That's good." Minerva took Apollo's hand and nodded. "Sorry, we have an appointment next. I'll leave first."
"Yes!" Sera Masumi stood up and nodded, "Oh, by the way, Miss Minerva."
"Huh? What?" Minerva was called just as she was about to leave and turned to look at Sera Masumi.
"Keep going in the competition!" Masumi Sera encouraged the fans.
Minerva's lips curled up slightly.
"I am Minerva Glass."
Looking at the backs of the two siblings leaving, a hint of envy flashed in Sera Masumi's eyes.
"That's great. I really hope that one day I can confidently say 'I am Sera Masumi' like Miss Minerva."
Of course, whether she envied Minerva's confidence and fame, or envied the fact that she and her brother could stroll hand in hand on the street, probably only she herself knew.
"Okay, next let's find a profiler. We must depict the man's complete body shape." Sera Masumi shook his arms and encouraged himself with forced energy.
Then, her cell phone rang.
"Majuna, have you heard? Something big is happening today!" The caller was her detective fan friend.
Chapter 152: Pure Killing, Jack the Ripper
"Is this... the hall of 'Jack the Ripper Cognition' of Ran Mouri? Why does it feel like I'm walking in a maze?" Ever since Aix successfully broke through the keyword blockade by reading the novel and entered Ran Mouri's hall, Taiyi has been wandering in this maze-like street for a while. By now, he has completely lost his sense of direction.
"Although there are no low-level shadow soldiers appearing... well, there can't be any shadow soldiers. After all, Mouri Ran's 'Jack the Ripper cognition' was born not long ago, and they may not even occupy the dominant position in her consciousness." Himiko's voice came from her ear.
"The maze... does it mean that Mouri Ran's original consciousness is actually struggling now? It's just that the cognitive override imposed by the Shadow Mage was too excessive, causing Mouri Ran's original consciousness to be unable to break through for a while, so the maze-style hall was born... while trapping herself, it also trapped the 'Jack the Ripper cognition' in it?" Achilles put forward his own opinion.
"It's not impossible, but it's also possible that the 'Jack the Ripper Cognition' created by the Shadow Mage was to prevent Mouri Ran's original consciousness from interfering with himself, so he created the maze to prevent her interference." Taiyi put forward a new insight.
"Anyway, let's go for a wave of violent output!" X reminded, "There are no outsiders here, just transform into X, break through the ceiling of this maze, and find the master of 'Mauri Ran' from above!"
"This is the only way." Taiyi took out his cell phone, checked the emergency contact number, and dialed the number.
Ultraman X——Original form!
The seven or eight meter high ceiling could not prevent Ultraman from showing off his huge body.
It was successfully broken through.
Looking at it from Aix's eyes, which were almost like a 'ruler', the maze looked like a regular polygon.
The position where I was standing was in a corner.
Therefore, there is no need for 360-degree light splashing.
Crouching down, Taichi released a destructive beam skill at an angle that would not cause the remaining boulders to leak from the ceiling and smash into the maze.
He came to save Ran Mouri's original consciousness, not to kill her.
When more than half of the ceiling was cleared, Taichi successfully found the original consciousness of Mao Lilan and the master of the "Jack the Ripper Cognition" who was now in charge.
The one with the unicorn hairstyle and lifeless eyes is Ran Mouri's original consciousness.
But now she is locked in a huge birdcage.
The hairstyle is ordinary, the eyes are red, and the face is a little hideous, but the one who shows fear because of the appearance of Ultraman is the 'Jack the Ripper's cognition' overwritten by the Shadow Mage, and is also the master of this maze hall.
Taichi jumped, and his huge body of more than 40 meters shrank to more than two meters high, and landed in the center of the birdcage between the "Jack the Ripper's cognition" of Mouri Ran and the "original consciousness" of Mouri Ran.
At the same time, the original form has been covered with Achilles Armor and Jeanne d'Arc Armor.
"Mouri Ran, are you awake?" Taiyi asked, tilting his head slightly and glancing at Ran Mouri in the birdcage with the corner of his eyes.
"Mauri... Ran? Are you calling me?" The 'original consciousness' in the birdcage slowly raised its head, looked at Taichi with confused eyes and asked cautiously, "But... isn't my name Jack the Ripper?"
"What did you do to Mao Li Ran?" Taiyi asked Mao Li Ran who was in the 'Jack the Ripper' cognition.
"It's not what I did." Ran Mouri, who was 'Jack the Ripper', shook her head and answered innocently, "After all, I'm just a newly born hall master. I don't have a real self. All I have are the various killing skills instilled in me by the 'Master'... and the desire to kill."
"Master? Do you mean Shadow Mage?"
"So the Master is called Shadow Mage?" Jack the Ripper Lan scratched his hair with a bitter smile. "Although he created me, he has no interest in me, so he never told me a word. Even my name 'Jack the Ripper' was told to me by the guy in the birdcage."
"By the way, I didn't build that birdcage either." Jack Ran the Ripper shrugged innocently, then pointed to the birdcage where Mao Liran's original consciousness was imprisoned and said, "When I became conscious, that thing was already there."
"Brainwashing..." Taichi frowned and looked at Mao Lilan and said, "The Shadow Mage must have erased your original memory first, and made you think 'I am Jack the Ripper', and then used this opportunity to throw in 'Jack the Ripper Cognition', intending to overwrite your existence."
"Overwrite...what does it mean?" asked Ran Mouri confusedly in the birdcage.
"Well - I think you will disappear under my influence." Jack Lang, the Ripper, replied outside the birdcage, "Then I will probably be alone here."
"Will disappear? It sounds scary." A look of panic appeared on Mao Lilan's face.
"Well, that's scary, isn't it?" Jack the Ripper nodded in agreement. "So, in order to repay you for naming me 'Jack the Ripper', I can make an exception for you once."
Licking the tip of the knife, the red in Jack Lang's eyes became brighter.
"I can break the principle of only killing girls and kill you as a 'girl'. This way you don't have to worry about being 'overwritten' by me."
This Jack Lang, the Ripper, is somewhat mentally ill... Oh, that's not right. After all, she was born not long ago and doesn't have much knowledge of the outside world.
Therefore, she did not understand what 'death' and 'disappearance' meant.
I just saw that Mao Lilan showed fear of disappearing, so I decided to help her.
This is, pure... murderous intent.
"No." Mao Lilan seemed to have finally become aware of the outside world. She staggered to her feet, holding on to the ground, and then stepped back.
There was also a look of fear of 'Jack Lang the Ripper' on his face.
"Ah - am I being hated?" Although Jack Lang, the Ripper, didn't know what 'hate' meant, he still felt 'sad'.
Although she still couldn't understand the various emotional feedback.
But... the murderous intention has already arisen.
"Hey, Mao Li Ran, if I kill this Jack the Ripper, will it have any impact on you?" Taiyi stood in front of Jack the Ripper Ran with a spear in his hand. After showing his hostility towards her, he asked Mao Li Ran who was trying to hide behind him.
"...No." Mao Lilan's cold voice sounded behind him, "I don't have any familiar feeling towards her... "
Chapter 153 I choose... to be called Mao Lilan
Having said that, considering that the master of this hall is Jack the Ripper, and the collapse of the hall caused by the master's death represents the destruction of desires and the turning into disabled behavior, Taichi does not intend to take the risk of turning Xiaolan into a vegetable and kill Jack the Ripper.
As for snatching the secret treasure... Jack the Ripper was born not long ago and doesn't even have independent self-awareness. How could he get the secret treasure?
In addition, all the ceilings were lifted up by Taiyi. If there was a secret treasure room, Taiyi would have found it long ago.
Therefore, there is only one way to save Mao Lilan.
The primary and secondary are reversed!
Let Maori Lang come out and let Jack Lang the Ripper be locked up.
By the way, set up a barrier to isolate the chance of contact between the two people... Otherwise, Taiyi is really worried that one day in the future, Xiaolan will be bewitched by Jack Lan, the Ripper, and then the door will be opened for her to create another wave of Jack Lan, the Ripper legend in the city.
Jeanne d'Arc armor replacement → Himiko armor!
After all, Ultraman's instant teleportation consumes a lot of energy.
Taichi plans to put Jack the Ripper into a birdcage and then take Mao Lilan out.
With the energy reserves that X already has, he would probably run out of mana after going back and forth.
So you need the big blue bottle armor!
"Hey? What's going on?" In the blink of an eye, Jack Lang, the Ripper, found himself inside the birdcage from outside.
Then in the blink of an eye, I was the only one left in the birdcage.
"Hiss - just one 'three and a half minutes'?" Taiyi checked his remaining energy and found that two consecutive space movements had directly exhausted three and a half minutes of energy.
"Am I getting out?" Mao Lilan looked around in confusion. Finally, after pausing for a few seconds on Jack the Ripper who was chopping the bars of the birdcage with a dagger, she looked at Taiyi and asked.
"Well... although you are out, it's hard to say whether you are the one who can control your body as the main consciousness now. I have to wait until I go out and confirm it."
"...Please." Mao Lilan bowed respectfully to Taiyi, "Please don't let me... hurt others again."
She is indeed the girl called "angel" by that bad woman Vermouth.
Even though he had lost his memory and was even contaminated by the consciousness of Jack Lang, the Ripper, he still didn't want to hurt others.
So... Shadow Mage, you've done so many bad things! Damn it!
Coming out of Jack Lang's hall of existence, Taichi reappears in the real world...in a hotel.
This is a hotel not far from the accident scene.
It is also the safest B&B selected by Aix.
Different from those big hotels, the hotels here only require one person to show ID or passport to check in, and they don’t care whether the other people show it or not.
This also avoids the possibility that Taichi would be reported to the police by the hotel owner and sent to Scotland Yard because he was unable to produce the passport of the unconscious Mao Lilan.
After returning to the real world, Taichi directly cancelled X's transformation and then woke up Ran Mouri.
We need to first confirm whether the person who opened his eyes is Mao Lilan or Jack the Ripper.
As for the 'protruding' hairstyle that reappeared on the girl's forehead... Taiyi said that it was just a hairstyle and didn't mean anything.
After slowly opening her eyes, Mao Lilan first looked at the ceiling and blinked a few times slowly, then moved her gaze to Taichi's face who was standing beside the bed.
"You are... the man who stopped me at the gates of Scotland Yard."
The tone is soft and weak, and the main theme is the uneasiness about everything in the outside world.
"Do you still remember who you are?" Taiyi leaned forward slightly and looked at Mao Li Ran and asked.
"I am... who should I be?" Mao Lilan frowned, put her hand on her forehead and murmured, "There is a voice that told me that I am Jack the Ripper... but there is another voice that told me that my name is 'Maolilan'."
"Then who do you think you should be?" Taichi observed Mao Li Ran carefully and continued to ask.
Be sure not to miss any micro-expression on her face.
"Although the first voice is noisy and a bit too conspicuous, I think my name should be the latter one." Mao Lilan gave her answer after thinking for a moment.
"Why choose the latter one instead of the former?" Taiyi continued to ask.
"Because I can't find the source of the previous noisy sound, but I feel that the latter sound came from here." Mao Lilan replied, placing her hand on her left chest.
"Chest?" Taiyi pretended not to understand.
