Chapter 392 of Baker Street. What about people?

"That's it. "After sleeping well into the afternoon, our carriage came very close to Baker Street. And on the corner of Baker Street, Conan, who was slowly waking up, pointed me to the location of Big Ben, the highest point in the city center.

"The clock?" I squinted, looking into the distance. Probably because of the game, this bell tower is made exceptionally high. "The minute hand on the top doesn't seem right. ”

"Well, now the minute hand is at 32. Conan said, opening his pocket watch and checking the time with me. "The strangeness of the clock was discovered by the stars, and we saw that the clock had turned from 0.50 to forty-nine minutes, and now it had turned to thirty-two minutes. ”

"In other words, eighteen children have been eliminated, right?" I couldn't help but squint my eyes as I looked at the clock at the top. At the same time, I also understood the role of the clock, which is a counter that allows people present to record the number of participants, and I believe that children have similar things in other scenes.

"That's right, in addition to the eleven of us here, there are twenty-one children in other scenes. That is, there are only five or six left in a scene on average. ”

"However, we are only in the early stages of the game. I shook my head. It's also understandable, after all, except for Xiaolan on our side, the rest of the scenes are eleven or twelve-year-old children. How could you expect them to play through the game? But Xiaolan, there are two seventeen or eighteen-year-old souls here, including me, and I, an old yin in my thirties. It can be said that our group should be the most promising to clear the game.

"yes, so we have to hurry, we still have limited clues at the moment. "Conan Road. "That's where Sherlock Holmes lives, let's get inside. ”

"Hmm!" the children nodded at the same time.

"I'm a little late. I said to the children. "I want to see this clock. ”

"Is there anything worth noting?" Shiho asked sideways to me.

"No, it's just that there are some things that I personally care about. After all, this is the only functional building that is out of place in this world," I stared intently at the clock tower in the distance.

"I'll go with you to see it. After thinking about it, Shiho spoke. "Edogawa will take everyone to Sherlock Holmes's residence to ask for help. ”

"This... All right. Conan hesitated, but compromised. After all, with Kaoru and Gray Yuan helping to open a two-line strategy game, then the chances of victory are also better.

"Then we'll meet at this street. I pointed to the place where the carriage was, and we ran over to see that the bell tower was only half an hour or so before and after we returned, which was enough time for Conan and them to find Sherlock Holmes to gather information and determine their next steps.

After that, Shiho and I left Baker Street first. Run all the way to Big Ben and look up at the structure of the clock.

"Seems to be a little taller than Big Ben in London in real life?" Shiho said, looking at the dial from above.

"Hmm. I nodded. "It's probably the tallest building in the game's world. ”

"Sniper point?" Seeing the height, Shiho was the first to think of this.

"I think so, but there are no sniper rifles in this world right now. I shook my head. "I investigated the armament of this world. The best weapon is simply the long rifle. There are no sniper scopes and the range is close. It doesn't work at all. With that, I took off the backpack behind me, took out a small pocket pistol from it, and handed it to Shiho. Also took a small box of bullets.

"I looted it last night, take it. ”

"Are you sure I can use it?" Shiho took the pistol, looked left and right, and then took it into his arms. Because she was still wearing Mitsuhiko's coat, it was just right to let go of the pistol.

"It's not that simple. "I also pinned a pistol to my waist. "Through my exploration last night, I found a problem that gave me a lot of headaches. ”

"How?"

"This game. . . It's too hard. ”

"Huh?"

———————————— Detective Conan Theatrical Edition Sixamp; The Undead ——————————— on Baker Street

"So, what the hell is so difficult?" A few minutes later, Shiho and I climbed to the top of the bell tower, and from the top we looked down, the whole city was in full view. Many of the coordinates of the buildings are based on the map markings, and I can already confirm the location of the buildings in various places.

"The first time I made contact with Jack the Ripper, Lan was injured, you see. ”

"Hmm. Shiho nodded. "The power to defeat a karate champion with one blow is very strong. ”

"That's right, after that, we were attacked by Noah's Ark and the two children fell directly into the water. ”

"If you didn't save them at the time, maybe the two children would have been swept away by the water, right?" Shiho seemed to understand what I meant. "But does that mean it's difficult?"

"We're just getting started, and while the Doctor is trying to help us cheat, it's definitely not just two kids who will fall if I don't have me. Including Xiaolan that time, if not for me. Jack the Ripper wiped out our regiment without escaping. Don't you think it's a bit difficult to think about it? It was just the beginning of the game before it was wiped out in less than ten minutes. So what's the purpose of playing this game? Noah's Ark directly electrocuted us, isn't it fragrant?"

“。。。 Seems to make sense. After thinking about it, Shiho agreed with my statement.

"And when I was out gathering resources last night, I got into a fight with a bunch of thugs. Given the level of crime in London at the time, no matter how strong this group of thugs was, it was impossible for them to be one-tenth of Jack the Ripper, but when the five thugs joined forces, I was carelessly beaten with a stick. And these five mixed works are unusually strong. If I hadn't used some means, it would have been really hard to kill them in a short period of time, and if I had been caught by the police for this, I might have been out. ”

"You mean, because of your presence, the difficulty of the whole game has increased?" Shiho seems to have noticed the problem.

"Maybe I was too high-profile at first, or maybe it was because my own physical fitness was detected by Noah's Ark. It's impossible to say, but the only thing that is certain is that. With the current difficulty of the game, the odds of children being eliminated are too high. But I'm not sure it's really me who caused it. ”

"Whew. It doesn't seem like we're in control. Shiho pondered for a moment, but there was nothing he could think of. "Besides, it doesn't seem to have much to do with you being here. ”

"I was thinking, this bell tower could theoretically see all the places on the street. If we can get a telescope, a light source, and a focusing scope, can we make a lighthouse?"

"What's the point? Looking for Jack the Ripper?"

"One of them. I nodded. "It's far easier to find a person in the best vantage point than to find a needle in a haystack, and secondly, the dial on this bell tower doesn't seem to catch the attention of NPCs. It turns out that the nodes here are not the same as other program nodes, and if we blow up this bell tower, you say, will it cause a node vulnerability?

"I don't recommend it. Shiho shook his head, "Although this idea can give us an extra path to victory, but considering our manpower and confrontation experience, we don't actually have an advantage. Not to mention whether it's blowing up the place or making a lighthouse. The project will be very large, if Noah's Ark wants to, he can completely deploy this place in advance, such as arranging the police station here. Even more detrimental to our actions. And.. You have caught the attention of Noah's Ark. Completing the adventure game with the sandbox game is already Noah's Ark at your disposal. ”

"But why let me go?" I rubbed my forehead. "I really want to test where his bottom line is. ”

"Huh. . . Shiho smiled softly, stared at me quietly for a long time, and then said slowly. "It's nice to be able to watch the sunset here. I don't think some of the big ideas are gone. If it is really as you say, the difficulty has become very difficult now, and we can't afford to have more losses and surprises. Zhibao looked down at the numbers below, that is, in this half an hour, two more children were eliminated, the pointer pointed at the position of 30, and the children in other games, there were nineteen.

"As Kudo said, after finding Sherlock Holmes, a character that helps us, we just need to help with many things. If it's true that the difficulty is wrong, then with Sherlock Holmes, the difficulty will be reduced a lot, right?"

"Have you forgotten that I proposed an interesting change to the Ark of Tomorrow?" I scratched my head. "Help our characters, it's killable. ”

"Hmph~ If you say that, I think the reason for the increase in difficulty is because of you. Shiho chuckled. "Let's go see the character who can help us. It's better than you come up with these weird tricks. ”

"Hmm... All right. "After thinking about it, I gave up the weird trick this time, and I just listened to Shiho, and it seems that it is not bad to play the game in a down-to-earth manner.

After a short rest on the bell tower, Shiho and I returned the same way and returned to Baker Street, only to find that Conan and they had not returned, so I found 221B, where Sherlock Holmes lived, and knocked on the door, but it was Ayumi who opened the door.

"Why, haven't you gathered the information yet?" I asked when I saw Ayumi open the door.

"It's been collected. Ayumi was a little embarrassed. "It's just that we didn't find Sherlock Holmes. ”

"Huh, didn't find it?" I wondered slightly. "Let's go in and have a look. As we spoke, we walked into Holmes' room.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw the children's sad faces, and they pulled the eggplants one by one. It seemed that he had encountered some difficulty, but Conan sat calmly in the chair where Holmes usually sits, with his feet curled up and his hands resting on his chin, as if this self-examination posture was imitating Sherlock Holmes.

"Conan, are you a secondary school offender or are you cosplaying? The children looked overwhelmed, but Conan was quite calm. "Something's wrong. ”

"Why are you complaining about me. "Conan glanced at me with a half-moon eye. "It's rare to come to Holmes's room, and I want to imitate it. "Conan is like a child at this moment.

"What? I heard Ayumi say I didn't find Sherlock Holmes?"

"Ah, that's it. "Conan was restored to his original state. "I'm guessing that the role they set up to help us was Sherlock Holmes, but we just learned from a conversation with the housekeeper that both Holmes and Watson had left London around this time. ”

"That is to say... The character who helped us is gone before I can kill him?"

“。。 Well. ”

"WTF!
