Chapter 388: Time Flow

Carrying Xiaolan through the residential area, we came to a stone bridge to rest for a while. Obviously, the pain can be adjusted, but I told Xiaolan not to adjust it for the time being, because then I have no way to know the injury, once there is no pain, but the injury is aggravated, it may not be long, Xiaolan can only be forced to quit the game.

"Take a break here. I motioned for everyone to stop. Running all the way down, the children are also very tired. The four second generations of officials were also taken aback by what I had just seen, and they all came over honestly along the way.

"Really, we said we were looking for a murderer, but in such a big city, how are we going to find it. Perhaps it was the embarrassment of the hostile aura just now, and the young man named Zhuxing opened his mouth first. Trying to open the topic.

"Need a map of the city. "I put Xiaolan in a sheltered place by the bridge, tore off the sleeve of my coat, and temporarily tied it to her legs. Clothes also covered her body. "You have to find a few key locations, such as hospitals, police stations, restaurants, etc. ”

"But it's getting late, and I think we'll have to wait until day. ”

"The speed of time in the game should be different from reality, right?" Shiho reached out and felt the air around him. "Otherwise, it would have been six hours of walking that night. It will also take us a long time to travel through the whole city. I don't see any life-sustaining devices in the outside cocoon. If you don't eat or drink for two or three days, you will die, not to mention the children who participate in pirates and rallying. ”

"That's probably it. Although we feel that every minute and every second is a real flow rate, there should be a gap with reality. Conan said. "I don't know if this game will make people hungry, though. thirst and other needs. ”

"Anyway, get ready and go. ”

"But, it's so cold here. Ayumi shrunk back.

"Wear this. Conan took off his coat. Mitsuhiko, who was one step slower than him, failed to hand over his coat, so he could only walk up to Shiho and say. "Gray Plains, you just wear this. ”

"Huh? Thank you. Shiho accepted Mitsuhiko's clothes with a smile.

"Na, Sister Xiaolan, you wear this. Yuan Tai watched the movements of the two, so he took off his big coat and handed it to Xiaolan.

"But Yuantai, you. . . Xiao Lan, who looked up in pain, said softly.

"It's okay, I'm more afraid of heat, and Sister Xiaolan, you are injured now, you should pay more attention to keeping warm. Yuan Tai smiled innocently.

"That... Thank you. Xiaolan took the coat and put it on her body.

"Let's find a place to stay first. Sister Xiaolan's injuries need to be treated immediately. ”

"Can't you go to the hospital?" asked Motota.

"Don't go just yet. I shook my head, "There are some things that I care about." ”

"What?" Conan wondered.

"It's about ... ”

"Hey, hey, can you hear me, Conan!" Before he could finish speaking, an old voice sounded in the sky.

"The voice is... Doctor?" Conan looked up at the sky.

"Conan, you must be careful, now you are in the Whitechapel area of Easterdo, and the character who helps you is ... ”

Ahh Whew...

After a cacophony of sounds, the Doctor's voice was drowned out. ”

"Doctor, Doctor!" Conan shouted into the air, but there was no response. "Why is there no sound all of a sudden? ”

"Let's go!" The moment the doctor's voice was cut off, I felt that something was wrong, it should be Noah's Ark to make a move. The back and forth truncation is only a dozen seconds.

Sure enough, as soon as I finished speaking, the ground we were on trembled. Without warning, the stone bridge began to break and twisted all the way to our feet.

Seeing this, I picked up Xiaolan and ran forward, and didn't forget to bump into Yuantai to help him run forward. Shiho also pulled Ayumi forward, and Conan pushed Mitsuhiko. However, the stone bridge broke too quickly. The official second-generation foursome who were already behind us had no time to dodge. Among them, the blue child named Kikukawa Seiichiro and the long-haired Takisawa Shinya did not dodge, screaming and falling down the river.

Poof. The two of them fell into the water at the same time as the gravel. Fortunately, it was late at night and the river was not turbulent. The two were also not out of the game because they fell overboard.

"Take care of it!" I put Ran on the ground, gave it to Conan, and jumped into the river.

The weight of two small children was not difficult for me to carry, and soon I was swimming to shore with my two children. Lying on the lawn, the two children coughed violently, visibly frightened.

"Kaoru-chan!" Ayumi and a few other children ran over. "Are you alright?"

"It's fine. I stood up. He shook his hair, took off his T-shirt and twisted it vigorously. Shiho, on the other hand, was afraid that the looming scar on my body would be exposed, so he hurriedly took off the coat that Mitsuhiko had given her just now and put it on my body. "Go up first. ”

Without refusing Shiho's kindness, I returned to Xiaolan's location with the children. "You two, are you alright?" I asked, looking at the panicked looks of the two children.

"Hmm... ”

"I felt like I was almost dying. ”

The two children looked at each other, but finally spoke. "Thank you. ”

"It's okay, the game, it's out at the beginning, it's so boring. I waved my hand. "But for now, we'd better not continue exploring. ”

"What do you want to do?" Conan asked me.

"I think we should find a place to settle down first. ”

“。。。 Good. ”

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

Ten minutes later, our group crossed two streets and came to a place that resembled a residential area. Here I found a villa. It's a little shabby, but it can definitely fit eleven of us. After some "negotiations" with the owner of this villa, I made this villa an empty villa, and then I moved in with my children. Of course, none of this was told to everyone. Even though it's just a game.

"I've been wanting to ask since the beginning. Xiaolan, who was carried to bed by me, finally couldn't help but speak. "Kaoru-chan, I never knew that your strength was so great. I haven't seen you gasping for breath all the way. ”

"Huh?" I looked at Lan suspiciously. "Ahh It's okay, haha. It's also possible that the game setting makes you lighter, Sister Xiaolan, if you are injured, none of us can hold you. Aren't you going to be out soon?"

"Is that so?" Xiaolan easily believed my nonsense.

"In short, Sister Xiaolan, you have a good rest here, and now you can lower your sense of pain. At the speed of the game, get a good night's sleep, and maybe your legs will be fine tomorrow morning. ”

"It makes sense, too. With that, Xiaolan slowly lay down under the covers. "Well, I'll rest first. Kaoru-chan, you should rest early, too. ”

"Okay. Good night Sister Xiaolan. ”

"Good night. ”

Walked out of the room and closed the door to the room. I walked to the hall, where a few children were cooking around the fire. He took the bread he had turned out of the kitchen in his hand and ate it with milk. The two children, who had just soaked wet, also changed into new clothes that they had found in the room. His clothes were hung by the fire.

"We are so lucky that we were able to find such a nice place to rest. Mitsuhiko said as he ate his bread.

"It's a game after all, and it's normal to have a safe house like this. Otherwise, how will the game continue. I explained to the children as I panicked.

"It's just not humane enough, I really want to eat eel rice. Motota said as he bit down on his bread.

"After all, games are data, and the senses in the mouth and stomach are just controlled electronic signals. I chuckled. "Maybe you can call Noah's Ark out and see if he will make you a bowl of eel rice. ”

"Haha, ahahaha. The children laughed at my words, including the four rich kids.

"Kaoru, do you have any thoughts on what's next?" After a brief laugh, Conan began to ask me.

"Xiaolan is injured. I need to walk around the city. Touch some key buildings or something. I said. "I don't know what the premise of this game is. But since we came in, I haven't seen a clock anywhere. So the concept of time is almost zero. If this is a progression series game. Then the game can only continue to advance if we have completed a certain step, such as living here permanently. Jack the Ripper will always get stuck on a node. Won't move. But now it's Noah's Ark who controls the game, so I'm wondering if he will force the game forward, which will be very bad for us. But on the contrary, if he does not push. We can play this game for a lifetime. ”

"What the hell are you trying to say?" Conan frowned.

"I want to take a gamble. I licked the corner of my mouth. "From the time we entered the game to the present, except for a face-to-face encounter with Jack the Ripper at the beginning, there was basically no progress in the game, just walking around, and causing injuries. In this case, the game experience is already off to a terrible start. ”

"Huh, so?"

"So, I want to take a gamble that we can do a lot of things as long as we don't move the plot forward. ”

"But what if, once the time limit is over, let Jack the Ripper escape, or is he forcibly pushed into the plot by Noah's Ark?"

"If that's the case, then wouldn't it be nice if he just turned on the power and electrocuted us? Besides, considering the speed of time, those who play pirates, cars, and treasures are the ones who play pirates. They will definitely need more time than we do. Isn't it?"

"Uh... It's a bit of a strong argument, but it seems to make a lot of sense. Conan rubbed his temples. "So you're going to drag it off?"

"Yes, if it's a sandbox game. Then I need to touch the city. This is good for the start. ”

"How long will it take you?"

"Xiao Ai, is there anything here that can calculate time?" I turned to Shiho.

"Candles. Shiho gestured to the spare candle on the table not far away. "A candle with a diameter of about 20 centimeters and a diameter of about 1.5 centimeters burns for six to eight hours. I see that the candlestick over there is basically this time. Let's count it as about six hours. ”

"Okay, that's it. If a candle burns out, it's already dawn, and I haven't come back. You just get out of here and get on playing. Leave me a bearing marker and I'll catch up with you. ”

"Then I'll go out too. "Conan Road. "I need to look for clues that will help our character. ”

"I'll go too. The stars stood up. "As the blonde kid said. If we let you do everything, we won't feel very involved. ”

"The stars ... By Zhuxing's side, the little fat man Jiang Shouhuang was a little worried.

"It's okay, you guys just rest here. I'll be back soon. The stars waved to indicate that they were okay.

"Then you two pay attention to safety, if you are discovered by the police or in danger, don't panic. I smiled. "It's good to kill yourself. ”

"Hey, hey... The corners of Conan's mouth twitched.

"Haha, just kidding. I chuckled. "Don't expose this place, though. If the plot is substituted, we are now a black household, and if it is served in one pot, it will be over. ”

"Ahh ”

"Rest assured. Conan and Zhuxing nodded.

"See you in six hours, then, tomorrow morning. The others now go to sleep. Raise your spirits, tomorrow the three of us sleepy insects will drag down the rhythm. ”

"Good!" X7

"Gone!"

After that, I walked out of the villa with Conan and the stars.

"Then you two be careful, I'll go first. ”

"You stay safe. ”

"Definitely coming back!"

"Ah, definitely. With that, I ran towards the street far from the villa.

"Is that kid, okay?" said the stars, slightly worried.

"Don't worry. Conan smiled. "If we are normal players of the game. Then that kid is a bug. Let him let go. ”

"Oh?" the stars raised an eyebrow. "Let's go, let's go look for clues. ”

"Let's go. ”

On the other side, away from the villa, I was relieved to make sure that there was no one else around me after crossing three streets and walking to a large open space. He waved his hand at the sky and made a gesture. I coughed four times, and soon I heard a buzzing sound in my ears. Soon, a young man's voice rang in my ears.

“。。。 Brother Bing, I'm here. ”
