As a game for primary school students, Cocoon Game will naturally not set game conditions that require hardcore knowledge and make it impossible for primary school students to pass the game, just like now——————
The timer of this time bomb is a reverse clock. It will explode when the hour hand, minute hand, and second hand return to zero. If you want to defuse this time bomb, you need to read the instruction manual left next to Miss Alice...
Yes, the instruction manual. This instruction manual is like a simple and easy-to-understand decryption game. You only need to solve the mystery to know which wire the player needs to cut to defuse the bomb.
These puzzles are only somewhat difficult for elementary school students, but for a top student like Haibara Ai who used to be a scientist of the Black Organization, she can solve them in just one or two minutes.
"The reserved time is fifteen minutes. The time for the action in the middle plus the delay is nine minutes. Now there are six minutes left...six minutes is enough."
Although she looks like an elementary school student, Ai Haibara is actually more intelligent than an average person. She reads the instruction manual carefully, and quickly searches between the lines for the answer to dismantling the time bomb.
While Mao Lilan and others were outside looking for the specific location of the gymnasium, it was late at night, the lights were dim, they were unfamiliar with the place and didn't even have the coordinates, so they were like headless flies and couldn't find the way.
However, while they were still looking for the way, a group of new people arrived outside.
"...University of London...Why not call it University of London?"
The young man from a prominent family, Takizawa Shinya, looked up at the inconspicuous sign of Dunlun University late at night and asked curiously.
Naturally, this question was one that neither Shousado nor Naruhodō Ryunosuke could answer.
The legendary lawyer in the cocoon game could only raise his head and stare at the sign for a while, then finally spoke seriously.
"I think... it's probably for fashion, right? I heard that writing your name backwards is very fashionable these days...?"
“Is there a fashionable way of saying this? Ryunosuke Naruhodō-sama…!”
"Ah, I was kidding... We have never been to the University of London before, so of course we can't know the answer..."
Naruhodō Ryunosuke explained embarrassedly to prevent himself from encountering the long-lost Shousatsutou of his legal assistant.
Haruki remembers the first time he and Shousa came to London by boat, and they were thrown into the water twice right after they came out of the closet.
In order to avoid Takizawa Shinya asking questions like "Why don't you know this after being in London for so long?"
He immediately turned his head and looked towards the interior of Dunlun University not far away, and said thoughtfully.
"By the way, is this what Dunlun University looks like at night? There's no light at all."
"Besides, even the gate guard is missing. It's a bit strange..."
"...I have a bad feeling. Let's go in and take a look at the situation first."
——-——————
"Bomb dismantled, first one, confirmed."
The fuse of the time bomb was cut directly, but the flame of the bomb did not engulf the entire stadium.
Haibara Ai, who was originally a little nervous, relaxed a little and put the dismantled bomb aside.
Then, she picked up Miss Alice, who had not yet woken up, and placed her a little further away.
It's obvious that Haibara Ai has no intention of leaving here for the time being... She wants to try whether the second bomb can be defused.
"Even if the second time bomb cannot be dismantled, I only need one minute and thirty seconds to run out of the gymnasium with Miss Alice..."
"Even if Moriarty lied, and the explosion range of this bomb was not for one person but for the entire stadium, it would not pose a threat..."
She picked up the instruction manual in her hand and stood at the treasure chest where the second bomb was tied. Her eyes rested on the dial of the second time bomb, which was different from the previous one.
The previous bomb was a countdown, and it would explode when all the pointers returned to zero, while this bomb was a normal time dial, but it was deliberately set to a certain time point and would explode fifteen minutes later. This is also one of the keys to distinguish the puzzle-solving methods of the first bomb from the puzzle-solving methods of the second bomb in the manual, to prevent bomb disposal personnel from confusing the two methods.
"It looks like the difficulty of cracking the bomb is not much different from the first one, just a little higher... Two minutes... Two minutes should be enough."
Haibara Ai's eyes quickly swept across the dial. She recalled the time when the first time bomb stopped, and thus deduced the specific time on the dial when the second bomb was installed.
Then substitute this time into the puzzle on the instruction manual, use your memory and calculation ability to quickly think of various answers, and substitute them into the corresponding color code.
Red, blue, yellow, green...
Time was passing by minute by minute, and Haibara Ai's attention was completely focused on the instruction manual. She didn't need to look at the time on the dial because she could clearly remember how many minutes and seconds had passed.
Therefore, when she raised her head again, it was already the second minute of the cracking time.
"...disarm the second bomb..."
Click——————
Haibara Ai accurately cut the yellow line of the second time bomb, then turned her head to look at the dial.
Just like the first time bomb, the second time bomb has stopped.
She then put the bomb aside and opened the treasure chest with a click.
There was only a manuscript in the treasure chest, written in English.
"Holmes will go step by step to the Reichenbach Abyss, and the end of reasoning is death."
"Alice Watson and Naruhodō Ryunosuke's logic theater can find the answer."
Haibara Ai hung up the phone with Conan, picked up the detective medal and whispered.
Unaware of this, Alice Watson behind him had already stood up.
The pink-haired little girl looked at Huibara Ai's back, then looked at the ground, a hint of shock flashed in her eyes.
"...When you see this, unfortunately, you are already dead."
"Yours sincerely, James Moriarty."
Huihara Ai read out the last English words on the manuscript. She didn't understand what Moriarty was saying.
And Alice Watson spoke loudly at this time.
"Get out of the way! The time bomb's dial...is about to explode!"
...arrived...at the explosion time? But...the dial has clearly stopped...
Ai Huihara looked down at the clock face and seemed to hear the chimes of Big Ben again.
In an instant, she suddenly understood something, then she picked up the detective badge and spoke loudly.
"Kudo, Professor Moriarty is not just a plot..."
Rumble.
The flames of the explosion instantly engulfed the area near the treasure chest.
call out------
In the game hall, a virtual game cabin spewed out steam and then dived.
Chapter 544 The Hound of the Baskervilles
The sound of the explosion immediately woke up the University of London at night, and lights came on in many buildings.
It’s like after going through the CG cutscene, you finally enter the real game scene.
This book was first published on Taiwan Novel Network → twkan.com, providing you with a reading experience with no mistakes or out-of-order chapters.
When Naruhodō Ryunosuke heard the explosion, he couldn't help but feel uneasy again.
Although he knew that sometimes such noises would occur during experiments in the university.
But, under normal circumstances, we shouldn't do such experiments late at night or in the early hours of the morning, right?
“Sousatou, I’m leaving this child in your care. I’ll run over to take a look first…!”
The legendary lawyer turned and spoke to his assistant, Mikotoha Susado.
And Shousado nodded seriously.
"Master Naruhodō, please be careful."
Tick, tick, tick.
Naruhodō Ryunosuke started running, quickly making his way through the sparse crowd.
Originally, he thought his speed was relatively fast enough, but...
Some people are faster than him, like the girl who popped out from somewhere else.
“…Are you kidding…?”
The legendary lawyer was horrified. He saw the girl pass by him like a gust of wind, and then completely disappeared from his sight in the blink of an eye, so that he almost doubted whether he had just stopped.
Otherwise, how could he, an adult male, be easily surpassed by a girl who looked to be only sixteen or seventeen years old, to the extent that even her back could not be seen?
Gritting his teeth, Naruhodō Ryunosuke accelerated again and approached that direction quickly.
The members of the Junior Detective League only appeared around the corner one after another at this moment. They looked at the students and teachers from the University of Dunlun who suddenly appeared with some confusion and puzzlement.
These NPCs really seem to have been refreshed out of thin air. There was also an explosion when Alice was captured before, but why did no one come out then, but someone came out when there was an explosion now?
However, doubts are doubts, and confusions are confusions.
When Mitsuhiko heard the explosion and contacted Haibara Ai's Detective Medal but received no response, he realized that something probably went wrong when Haibara Ai was rescuing Alice Watson.
This is also the reason why Mao Lilan was so anxious to leave before them.
"Hey, look, that guy... isn't that the guy who was playing football in the hall?"
Genta, who was so tired that he was out of breath, stood there, supporting his knees with his hands and gasping loudly. When he looked up, he saw the famous boy Takizawa Shinya standing with Shousha.
At that time, this guy was playing football with a few friends in the hall. After being stopped, he threatened to teach the waiter a lesson. When entering the game, he chose the same game as the Young Detective Team.
Yuanta still remembers this guy clearly, but after recognizing Takizawa Shinya, he became a little confused.
"Hey, why didn't the others who left with this guy come here?"
His words also attracted the attention of Takizawa Shinya who was not far away. The famous boy turned his head and looked at the Junior Detective Team, with a look of surprise in his eyes...
Because, Takizawa Jin didn't expect that these civilian children who relied on exchanging cards for game medals could find this place before them, and it seemed that only one person was missing!
He couldn't help but doubt his own personal abilities.
In fact, the Junior Detective Team, who often go to various murder scenes with Conan, are indeed more capable in this kind of environment that requires reasoning than celebrities like Takizawa Shinya who have never personally been involved in a murder case.
Crunch——————
The iron door of the gymnasium was pushed open, and Alice Watson, who was sitting there, finally came to her senses. She looked at the area engulfed by the explosion in disbelief. There was nothing there. After the first time bomb was dismantled, Huihara Ai took her, who was still unconscious, to a distance outside the center, and this distance prevented her from being hurt by the explosion of the second bomb.
It’s just that because the anesthetic effect in his body had not completely dissipated, he was blown to the ground by the shock wave.
If Sherlock Holmes was around, perhaps the great detective would have comforted her by saying that the scene after the explosion could not have been so clean, or that perhaps the little girl had just used some method to escape.
However, Holmes is not around now, and the person who saved her was indeed swallowed up by the explosion. In that kind of environment... it is impossible to survive.
Mao Lilan quickly passed where Alice Watson was. Her sight fell on the half-broken detective medal not far away. She immediately understood what had happened here before——————
Although Haibara Ai did save the important plot character Alice Watson, she was still affected by the explosion for some reason and was eliminated directly.
If a game player is killed, he will turn into a blue light spot and disappear, leaving nothing behind. This broken detective medal is probably because...
Since it was not with Haibara Ai at the time, it was not judged as Haibara Ai's personal belongings and was thus preserved.
"…If…If I had been more careful…"
Alice lowered her head and murmured something incoherent.
"… Things have come to this point, and it is irreversible."
Someone said, and she looked up at Mao Lilan.
Mao Lilan bent down and picked up the half of the detective medal, and she became serious.
"Ms. Alice, in order to ensure that Ai's sacrifice will not be in vain, please help us..."
"Find where Sherlock Holmes is and find out Moriarty's true identity..."
"… Help us to bring Jack the Ripper to justice and bring him to justice!"
-------
The explosion destroyed the detective medal almost instantly, so that Conan was able to hear very limited sounds.
His face darkened almost instantly, and he no longer cared about his previous disguise.
"…It looks like something unpleasant happened."
The legendary prosecutor, [Death] Baroque Vanzix took a sip of red wine.
"Young man, do you need me to give you some time to buffer? The time is not that tight right now."
