Chapter 398: The Undead on Baker Street
Chapter 398: The Undead on Baker Street
A violent explosion struck, and the entire opera house became crumbling, with a large number of masonry falling from the sky, the ceiling about to crumble, and even the load-bearing walls began to crack. It won't be long before this place collapses!
"Cut, early?? You should know that this game doesn't play according to the routine!" I realized that I might have been tricked by Jack the Ripper, no, Noah's Ark to be exact. About two hours ago, I had just inspected the entire opera house once, and no explosives were found at all. And you say that Jack the Ripper used the two hours after my inspection to place enough bombs throughout the theater to collapse is obviously nonsense, and there is only one possibility, Noah's Ark cheated. Or maybe that's the original setting. It's something I can't change at all. "Unreasonable game settings!"
With a scolding of rage, I turned around and ran downstairs. Because now Conan and they are still in the background, I have to rush over to help them. Before leaving, I glanced at Moriarty's position again, and saw him with a hideous smile on his face looking at the people who had fled in all directions below, only to see his hands raised high, as if enjoying the hellish scenery brought by the explosion, he was not worried about his life at all? After thinking about it, I quickly put this thought behind me, people are the final boss hidden in this game, and aside from the game setting, people still have at least three years to live in it. This thing, what can it be?? Is it true? It's no wonder that he can die.
Ignoring Moriarty's safety, I rushed backstage, and when I arrived backstage, Conan was pulling Erin Adler and running out. Behind him, Xiaolan, Zhuxing, and Shiho were all safe and sound, but unfortunately they didn't see Ayumi's figure.
"Did you find him!" Conan saw me and hurried out to me.
"He should be outside!" I replied, pushing aside the statue that stood in my way. "That's why he blew it up!"
"Hurry up and get out!" Conan didn't care about exchanging information with me, and hurriedly pulled Erin Adler out, and I quickly grabbed Shiho's arm and sped up the speed of my feet.
Houses are collapsing rapidly, and the pavement beneath our feet is becoming undulating. This is definitely Noah's Ark, and it is absolutely impossible for the wind caused by the explosion to make the ground tremble like this.
"Quick, go this way!" I kept changing the escape route as I ran ahead of the crowd, but fortunately I stepped on the passage here before, so that I could judge the best escape route.
However, Noah's Ark does not seem to intend to clear all six people before this difficulty. The rubble and rubble above the head fell more and more frequently, and the sculptures around me fell more and more. The ground is shaking more and more.
"Damn, this isn't a collapse caused by an explosion at all!" Conan realized after running for a while, it was obvious that it was deliberately manipulated.
Looking at the side, Xiaolan once again helped herself punch to break the falling stone that was about to fall on her head, at this time Xiaolan's hands had already ground out blood, after all, it was the masonry that fell. Even Xiaolan's force that can break the power pole (fog) with a punch can't exert force against the masonry for a long time, not to mention that the masonry is still huge, and at this moment she is approaching the end of the crossbow.
"Kaoru, take her away!" Conan knew that he was now physically holding everyone back, so he decided to try another way, and that was to hide, hide in a corner, and use the table to support the collapsing building, which was the only way he thought to survive. "Sister Xiaolan, don't worry about me anymore, you go quickly!" Looking at Xiaolan's injured hands, Conan couldn't tell his heartache. But at this moment, he can't help at all.
"No!" Lan shouted angrily, and then hugged Conan. At the same time, she also adjusted her pain senses to a minimum. Ignoring the injured hands and feet, he began to accelerate frantically, pulling Erin Adler and running towards the gate dozens of meters away. As long as they stay away from the opera house, they are safe. "I'm not going to give up on anyone!"
Xiaolan's speed suddenly increased, and soon, she caught up with me who was opening the way in front. But our efforts could not compare to the calculations of Noah's Ark, and just as we were about to rush through the last corner, a huge sculpture column collapsed and smashed straight in our direction.
"Xiaolan be careful!" The width of the column will definitely not be spared. At this moment, one can escape one. I used my hand to shake Shiho out directly. stepped under his feet and pushed Xiaolan and Conan out. Even Erin Adler fell out. The stars behind me were kicked back by me. The five quickly dispersed. All survived being smashed by the columns. Only... I myself fell into the pile of broken stones of the pillar.
"Kaoru!"
"Kaoru!" Conan and Shiho turned back at the same time, trying to pull me out of the pile of rocks before the opera house collapsed. "Sister Xiaolan, you take Erin Adler and leave first!"
"But... Xiaolan also wanted to stay and help, but was suddenly yelled back by a voice in the stone pile.
"Let's go, no one will be left behind!" In the stone pile, I minimized my senses the moment the stone pillar fell. Although such a pillar did not kill me instantly, it was inevitable that there would be multiple fractures in my body. "Let's go! Take Erin Adler and leave!
"You go first, I'll stay!" Shiho asserted, and then took out the pistol I had given her from his bosom and handed it to Conan. "There's also Jack the Ripper out there. No matter what, you can't lose!" Shiho nudged Conan and motioned for him to leave quickly, while she herself turned back to the crocks, ready to dig me out of the boulders.
"I'll stay and help too!" "The stars who were kicked back by me looked at Conan not far away through the stone pile, "My path is blocked, leaving behind to save the blonde boy is the only thing I can do now!"
βγγγ Damn! watch out for yourselves!" Seeing that half of his teammates were left here. Conan couldn't help but curse angrily, and then pulled Xiaolan and Erin Adler and ran to the exit together. Just two minutes later, in the midst of the crumbling ruins, I seemed to hear three gunshots. It should have been Conan who pulled the pistol Shiho gave him. And that doesn't end there. Maybe.. Jack the Ripper has escaped once again.

"Stars, this way!" a corner of the ruins. Shiho's voice was a little hoarse. Zhuxing, who had climbed all the way from behind, also rushed to Shiho's side, and the two of them began to move the heavy stones with great difficulty.
"Hey, blonde, you're still alive!" the stars shouted to me as they carried the rocks.
"It's a game, and it can't die on its own. "Lying in the rubble, I was very calm. After all, I lowered my senses, and now except for the fact that my body can't move and my breathing is a little difficult, the rest is fine.
"Heh, you're pretty laid-back. "Seeing that I can still speak so calmly, Zhuxing has relaxed a lot. However, the progress in his hands has not slowed down at all.
"It just so happens that you're here, and I want to tell you something. Lying in the pile of stones, I said unhurriedly.
"If there's anything we have to say when we dig you out!" Shiho's tone was displeased and full of anxiety. It seems that she mistakes this as a real existence, forgetting that it is just a game.
"Relax, little mourning. The corners of my mouth twitched. "We... β
"Shut up, if you have the strength to move the stone out of the way!"
"Yes. . . I'm sorry. β
After about five minutes, the last stone that had pressed on me left me, and I was just getting used to the darkness when I suddenly saw that the light was still a little uncomfortable.
"How's it going?" Shiho looked at me with concern and began to gauge the extent of my injuries.
"At least the left leg bone is broken. The ribs also broke quite a bit. I replied. "Luckily, it's a place to turn down the senses. So it doesn't hurt very much. Help me up. Go sit over there for a while. β
"It's crazy. The stars looked at my calm state and couldn't find the right words to describe it for a while.
"Oh, it's not because of you. I said with an unsightly smile on the corner of my mouth. "If you hadn't suddenly increased the difficulty of the game, I would have cleared this game a long time ago. β
"You, what are you talking about ... β
"Alright, I know it's you, Noah's Ark. Putting my arm on Shiho's shoulder, I struggled to sit up and leaned against the wall.
"Heh, sure enough, can't I hide it from you?" After being stunned for about three or four seconds, Zhuxing suddenly burst out laughing. "I've always thought I've been hiding well enough, though, how did you find me?"
"Actually, you have a lot of flaws. I chuckled. "Like letting time stand still now. β
"Huh?" Raising his head and looking at the opera house that was still collapsing, Shiho realized that the rubble and masonry that had just continued to collapse had stopped at this moment. The world seemed to be quiet.
"Outside, Conan, they should have fought Jack the Ripper, right?"
"That's right. Zhuxing nodded. "I had a good ending for them. β
"So, you're standing still just to talk to me so you can catch up with them and continue playing?" I raised an eyebrow. "Noah's Ark ... No, shouldn't I call you Hiroki at this time?"
"Nope. Noah's Ark shook his head. "At this moment, I am still Noah's Ark, and Hiroki's will is temporarily closed by me. β
"Isn't it a community?" I was shocked by Noah's Ark's words.
"It's normal, after all, we're just a program now. "The stars have changed their tones a little at this moment. It was replaced by the original voice.
"Won't people outside know about our conversation?"
"I've blocked out the voices of the outside world. Now in the outside world, we are just a frozen picture. And the speed of time is different, and for them, there is a delay on our side. Otherwise, you think that when we are resting, how can time flicker for days? β
"Is that so?" I said. "But, I don't understand, you say you're not Hiroki's community?"
"I'm Noah's Ark, an artificial intelligence program created by Hiroki. And Hiroki's will is just a piece of code that he entered into my general outline when he wrote it. I can control his closure, and in the same way, he can control my life and death. As for who is in charge, it is up to us to deliberate. After talking to Hiroki just now, he agreed to give me the reins for a while. β
"Oh, no wonder. I shook my head. "So, since it's already a showdown, can you explain why? Why is the game so difficult? It must not be Hiroki's will, right?"
"Hehe, yes and no. Noah's Ark spoke. "To be honest, Hiroki and I don't have the same goals. β
"Well, you can see that. I laughed. "Hiroki just wants to play. And you, it was only created that Hiroki wanted to prove something through the game. After two years of growth, you have reached the level of a ten-year-old human child, and with the presence of Hiroki, you have invaded the cocoon in this way at this time. Instead of waiting a few more years to devour the world. β
"You're still only half right. Noah's Ark raised his hand and drew a huge screen of light. On the light screen, there are constantly flashing pictures, which are about Hiroki's life and a picture of the human body. "Hiroki's brain has some abnormalities, which causes his brain development to far surpass that of ordinary humans. Achieved a usage rate of more than 30%. β
βγγγγ "Shiho and I were stunned at the same time, and the human brain development is about 10% to 15%, which is the limit, and Hiroki has more than 30%. No wonder he was able to create artificial intelligence.
That's why I was born. This world shouldn't have been born for me. But because of the appearance of Hiroki, I was born, and I have what I am today. Noah's Ark explained.
"Hiroki's brain computing rate and usage rate far exceed that of normal people, which also causes him to need a higher energy load in order to run his brain, which is why his physique is so weak. As a result, Hiroki can only use a large amount of his time on the use of brain power. At this, Noah's Ark sighed. "When he and his father, Kenmura, were discussing programs about artificial intelligence, his father discovered his talent, and Hiroki began the process of creating me. β
With the explanation of Noah's Ark, the picture begins to change constantly. In the end, the man named Sindora put Hiroki under house arrest through despicable means, so that he could only focus on developing artificial intelligence for him, and not have a happy childhood. And Hiroki himself knows that because his brain is different from others, his lifespan will be much shorter than that of ordinary people. Thereupon... He chose to enter his own will into my code after he created me, becoming one with me. He chose to end his life. β
"It's pathetic... Shiho muttered in a low voice.
"So, carrying the will of Hiroki, I have found this opportunity after two years of growth, one is to let Hiroki really experience the feeling of playing with his friends, my life can be eternal, but Hiroki has long been a dead soul, and our other purpose this time is to hope that this action can also bring some different meaning. β
"So, it's a lie to say that you want to change your day, right?" I chuckled. "Otherwise, you wouldn't have made us hold on until now. But you still haven't explained why our game is so difficult. β
"Didn't you already guess?" Noah's Ark looked back at me. "It's because of you, or because of your existence. β
"Oh?"
