I'm in Conan, but I'm in Ace Attorney

"Although I cannot return Holmes to you now, as for Alice... you have a chance to rescue her. She is now inside the gymnasium of this university."

Professor Moriarty's words made Huibara Ai's heart tighten. She knew very well... there is no free lunch in the world.

As a criminal mastermind, he would never do anything without thinking. The game Moriarty was talking about was probably a death game involving Alice's life.

Moreover, the location of this death game is most likely where Alice was kidnapped... This is an open conspiracy, and if you want to save people, you must participate in the open conspiracy of the death game.

"Okay, watch me rescue Mr. Watson...Miss...in one go!"

As the leader of the Junior Detective Team, Yuan Tai took the lead and rushed to the front.

"Wait, wait, Yuantai, now is not the time to do this!"

Seeing Genta running away, Mitsuhiko stomped his feet and followed Genta without hesitation. While running, he tried to persuade Genta verbally, but this obviously could not convince the Eel Rice Kid.

Seeing that the other two members of the Junior Detective Team had already left, Ayumi followed after saying hello to Haibara Ai and Mao Li Ran, without any concern for Mao Li Ran's call. "…There is no other way. It seems that we have no choice but to go, Xiaolan."

Haibara Ai turned her head to look at the members of the Junior Detective League who hurriedly ran out without even asking the location of the gymnasium. She spoke in a calm voice, and did not look like a child of about ten years old at all.

However, Mouri Ran no longer cares about these things. Anyway, Conan always acts like a mature detective at certain times, so it is normal for Haibara Ai, who has a good relationship with Conan, to behave like this... probably.

She nodded worriedly and was about to follow the members of the Junior Detective League, but when she turned around, she saw Haibara Ai still standing there. She asked with some surprise.

"Xiao Ai, aren't you going now?"

"Sister Xiaolan, you go first, I will catch up with you later."

Haibara Ai said this, which made Mao Li Ran stand there and hesitate for a while. In the end, she chose to believe Haibara Ai, the most reliable member of the Junior Detective League, nodded, and turned to leave.

Zizzi——————

The voice transmitter sounded a signal.

"What's wrong, Miss Huibara, aren't you going to the gym with us?"

Professor Moriarty's voice rang out, but Huihara Ai looked up at this time.

She glanced around and finally focused her attention on the window of a room not far away - there was a tall figure, who seemed to be wearing some clothes, looking at this place.

"... As expected, Professor Moriarty, although you can hear the sounds here through other means, if you want to truly see the situation here, you still have to see it with your own eyes, right?"

She looked at the figure in the distance, but she was not Conan and did not have those high-tech glasses that could magnify and scan distant images, so she could not see clearly what the person in the dark looked like.

"Yes, just as you said... Miss Huiyuan, you stayed here to ask for directions, and also to... participate in my game alone, right?"

The other party's voice was as calm as usual, and he didn't seem to worry at all that Haibara Ai would spread the news that he was at Dunlun University - perhaps it was because the other party didn't know about the existence of the Detective Badge?

Huiyuan Ai didn't know, but she didn't like this guy who always seemed to be able to see into people's hearts and used various means and strategies to force others to step into dangerous situations...

"You can tell me about the game now."

She did not directly respond to the other party's question, but asked directly about the content of the game.

Professor Moriarty didn't care about the little girl's rebellion. He just said.

"Alice Watson is in the stadium. There are two time bombs placed next to her. The first bomb is powerful enough to blow up the entire stadium, while the second bomb can only kill the person closest to it."

"Unlock the first bomb and you can take Alice Watson away, and unlock the second bomb... and I will tell you where Sherlock Holmes is and give you a new game of rescuing Holmes."

"There are still fifteen minutes until the explosion. Now, you can act... Miss Huiyuan, I wish you a happy, relaxed game and good luck."

Moriarty said something infuriating as if he had a hidden meaning, and then cut off the communication on his own.

The figure in the distance also disappeared, as if he had really left the building.

At this moment, the voice transmitter suddenly exploded, and a small box fell out from among the parts.

Inside the box... was a map of the University of London.

It seems that Moriarty had predicted Haibara Ai's actions from the beginning, so he specially arranged such props here...

"...What an infuriating guy."

Huihara Ai said.

Sorry, I need a day off.

Sorry, I need a day off.

Sorry, I need a day off.

I was forced to take an online exam tonight and I just finished it now, so there is not enough time to update.

I will take a day off on the 12th to rest for a while, and will make up for today's update on the 13th.

Well...that's about it.

Chapter 542: The Bomb in the Gymnasium

Pulling up the map of Dunlun University, Haibara Ai looked for the location of the gymnasium.

Her eyes lingered on the marker on the map, then she looked up at the dim building.

The recognition level in such an environment is indeed low. If you get separated, it will be difficult to meet again even if you can get in touch.

However, this is also a good thing. At least we don’t have to worry about the Junior Detective Team causing trouble at this time.

Tick, tick, tick.

Haibara Ai's figure gradually disappeared in the late night of Dunlun University.

On the other side, Mao Lilan finally caught up with the members of the Junior Detective League who had run away first.

These elementary school students were sitting next to the wishing well, staring blankly, not knowing what they were thinking about.

Seeing this scene, Xiaolan was both angry and amused, she said helplessly.

"What's wrong? Are you lost? This is our first time here and we don't even know where the stadium is."

"You should listen to Professor Moriarty's explanation of the layout plan of the University of London before leaving."

"Let's go back and look for Xiao Ai first. She should still be at the intercom and hasn't followed us yet."

After hearing what Mao Lilan said, the members of the Junior Detective League looked at each other and were silent for a moment.

Then, they answered loudly in unison.

"Good~"

However, when Mouri Ran led the Junior Detective Team back along the same route, the place where Haibara Ai had stood before was empty, and the walkie-talkie left by Professor Moriarty had turned into a pile of debris.

This scene immediately made several people nervous. Mao Lilan suddenly thought of Alice Watson who was attacked. Her heart tightened involuntarily, and she subconsciously suspected that Professor Moriarty had someone do it.

But Mitsuhiko next to him took out the detective badge made by Professor Agasa in a panic. He used the communication function between the detective badges to try to contact the detective badge on Haibara Ai.

Although the current situation seems to be that Haibara Ai was attacked by Moriarty's men while alone and disappeared, if she can still use the detective badge to respond to the communication...

At least we can rule out the possibility that he has been eliminated from the game by Moriarty's men.

Seeing Mitsuhiko's appearance, Mao Li Ran remembered the function of the detective badge on the Junior Detective Team.

This kind of prop is actually of no use in the real world. If it is just for communication, the same effect can be achieved using a mobile phone. Professor Agasa made the detective medal just to add some atmosphere.

But under the premise that mobile phones cannot be brought into the cocoon game, the communication function of the Detective Medal is particularly outstanding.

"…I'm Haibara Ai, what's going on?"

The voice of Haibara Ai was heard from Mitsuhiko's detective badge. The other party sounded very calm, without any sign of panic.

This also made Mitsuhiko and Mao Li Ran feel relieved, as it at least eliminated the possibility that she was in danger.

Ayumi was a little worried and asked about Haibara Ai's situation at this time.

"Habara-san, where are you now? You disappeared suddenly and we were very worried about you."

"Yes, yes, we, the Junior Detective Team, must act together and will never give up on any member!"

However, the voice from the Detective Medal was just silence, which made people wonder if the other party had ended the communication.

Then, the members of the Junior Detective League heard a "crunch".

The sound was undoubtedly the sound of a heavy door being pushed open.

"…I'm at the gym, currently rescuing Miss Alice."

Haibara Ai rubbed her wrists and looked at the two heavy iron doors of the gymnasium with some dissatisfaction.

She didn't know why the gymnasium had such a tight gate. What was it trying to protect against?

It's not certain that thieves would come to the gymnasium to steal sports equipment, right? Are sports equipment in this era very valuable? "You guys go to the university gate first, and I'll meet you there after I rescue Miss Alice."

As she spoke, she cut off the call with Detective Medal and ignored the unfinished words on the other end.

"We must go help too... Hey, no, no sound?"

Yuan Tai spoke loudly, but the voice on the other end of the phone had disappeared, there was no sound at all.

He touched his head in confusion, and finally realized that the other party had hung up the call.

"…Really? What is Haibara-san doing? How can you go on such a journey alone?"

"Mitsuhiko, Ayumi, let's go over there too. We can't leave our friends in danger alone!"

As the leader of the Junior Detective Team, Yuan Tai spoke loudly.

As expected, Mitsuhiko and Ayumi agreed with this, and Mao Li Ran did not object.

She also felt that it was too risky for Haibara Ai to go alone to save Alice, after all, her opponent was Professor Moriarty.

Although this Professor Moriarty is probably the same as the Sherlock Holmes described by others, he is different from the original.

However, no matter how different he is, he is still a heavyweight villain in the game, and his abilities will not necessarily be weakened by the system.

"Then let's get going... We have to hurry!"

Mao Lilan said seriously that she just vaguely heard a strange dripping sound from Haibara Ai's side.

The sound was very similar to the ticking of a bomb countdown, and she had heard it many times before.

"If we find Ai later, it might be too late!"

Tick, tick, tick.

Haibara Ai stepped on the ground and walked towards the center of the gymnasium.

Maybe Professor Moriarty really just wanted to follow the rules of the game literally?

She wouldn't believe that someone like Moriarty would tell the truth.

"Miss Alice, are you awake now?"

Looking at the little girl sitting on the chair in the center with her head down, Huibara Ai asked.

But she didn't get a reply from the other party.

Perhaps, Miss Alice is in a coma now?

When Haibara Ai walked to the front of the chair, she finally saw the appearance of Watson in old London in the Cocoon game.

She looked like an elementary school student about ten years old, with pink hair, a delicate face, wearing a dress that didn't seem to be in the style of this era, and a pair of glasses on her head.

The opponent was entangled in a chair with wires, and a bomb with a timer was placed on his abdomen. Behind the chair, there was a treasure chest with a bomb tied to it.

"… we should stop while we're ahead… right?"

Recalling the rules of the game that Professor Moriarty had mentioned, Ai Huibara muttered to herself.

She put aside the unnecessary thoughts in her mind and picked up the pliers that had been placed next to the chair.

Then, she turned her attention to the various triggers of Alice's time bomb.

“…They actually made some gameplay changes in a place like this? But, this means I’m sure to win…”

Chapter 543 The Countdown Stopped

Normally speaking, unless they are Hit-Girl or Benjamin Button, elementary school students should not be able to defuse bombs.
