The Third Extra: The Dead on Baker Street (3)
After Noah's Ark's words were spoken, the children who were originally excited and had a sense of superiority in the first batch of experiences of the new game suddenly couldn't bear the huge blow that they might die, and they broke down and cried, even cursing why they were born in a privileged family and appeared here.
……
"Kaubill, are you going to play a game?" Vodka looked at the light gate of the ancient Roman Colosseum with some excitement.
Mizuma smiled, indeed, it was a good double insurance to let vodka go to the Colosseum compared to the old London copy that could rely on IQ to avoid a physical disadvantage.
"You go to the arena, pay attention to the rules of the game, don't go towards the arena at the beginning, the rules of the game say collect equipment first. Worried that vodka would make a mistake by not understanding the rules of the game, Mizuma said half-guessingly: "I estimate that the equipment that players can collect should be very different from each other, and don't hesitate to grab it directly when you meet a player with good equipment." ”
Anyway, the other players are a bunch of imps, and even if you get good equipment in the context of a fighting game, you shouldn't be an opponent of vodka, but the problem is that the ghost warrior in the game description who sounds like **OSS makes Mizuma Moon a little uneasy.
"And which game are you going to?" Vodka asked.
"That's, Old London. Mizuma pointed to the light door where Conan and other children were already standing in front of the door: "It sounds like a game to solve a crime." ”
"Old business!" Vodka smiled and walked towards the light gate of the ancient Roman Colosseum, probably because they were adults, many children followed the vodka into the light gate of the ancient Roman Colosseum, thinking that it was safer.
Then Shui Jian Yue walked to the Light Gate of Old London, and saw a group of unknown children there, Xiaolan stood out as a high school student.
"Who is it!" the children of the young man's death group shouted loudly when they saw the water moon again.
Conan looked over: "Who do you know?" Xiaolan also went to see the water moon together.
"That guy kicked Motota!" Ayumi said immediately to Conan.
Gray Yuan's face changed, and he walked up to Conan and whispered a word.
Conan's face sank slightly, and he asked in a low voice, "Are you sure?"
"It was very clear and there was a burlier person. Gray Yuan nodded.
And Xiaolan heard that Yuan Tai seemed to be bullied, and asked the children about the whole story with concern.
And Conan looked in the direction of the ancient Roman Colosseum, before he noticed that there were two adults in the player, judging from the fact that there were many children on the ancient Roman side, the other member of the organization should have gone to that game, and they didn't act together.
Mizumatsuki walked to the door, intently looking at the children gathered in front of the door, deliberately ignoring the four little ghosts and Xiaolan who kept yelling at him, as if they wanted to ask for an explanation.
Also because it is an adult, it attracted several children who chose to follow the water moon, in addition to the junior detective group, there are eleven children who chose old London. According to Mizuma Moon's vague understanding of this plot, there is a child who was replaced by Noah's Ark, and Zhuxing Xiushu.
Mizuma looked at each child one by one, but he didn't find Zhuxing Xiushu, he knew Zhuxing Xiushu, who was the son of the deputy director of the Metropolitan Police Department......
Mizuma Tsuki's face froze, of course Zhuxing Hideki was not here, because his father Zhuxing Dengzhifu had been killed by himself as a vote to join the organization, and the children who fell from the second generation of officials to orphans certainly did not have a ticket here.
However, Noah's Ark's desire to play with other children here should not have changed, so it must have replaced another child, who could it be......
The children who looked at the children without saying a word, especially when their faces suddenly became very bad during the period, all fifty children had already chosen the game and were teleported into the game at the same time.
Mizuma only felt a flash of light in front of her, and then the pure black space turned into a dim yellow tone, the streets were paved with dark red stone bricks on the ground, and the smell of kerosene and horse manure filled the air, which seemed to be the main theme of this era.
Mizuma Moon stretched his fists and feet in the new space, and even felt the resistance of the air, and once again admired the cocoon's terrifying simulation technology in his heart, if he hadn't lost the touch of the disguised mask on his face, he might have to wonder if he was teleported by space.
The voice of Noah's Ark suddenly sounded in my ears, it was the explanation of the rules of the game, as well as the background of the story, etc., Mizuma Moon deliberately learned about the information of Jack the Ripper before coming to the press conference, and there was not much difference from the story of Noah's Ark, only the slight difference was mostly the plot design of the game.
"Hey, if we don't apologize, we won't take you to the game!" Kojima Motota's arrogant voice interrupted Mizuma's thoughts again.
Conan and Gray Plains are a little panicked, they don't know how to stop the children's provocation of the organization's personnel and prevent the organization personnel from discovering that the two of them know that they are dangerous.
Fortunately, Mizuma stopped their struggle, looked up at the surrounding terrain for a moment, and then turned and walked towards a building.
The first step in the pursuit of the fugitive, the identification of the terrain, the planning of the possible escape route of the prisoner and the round-up route of the police.
So the purpose of the water moon is to find a taller building.
Looking back at the people who followed him, Conan Xiaolan's six children naturally did not follow, and three children who looked like junior high school students seemed to have chosen to follow Conan and others, and there were eight children of different sizes following him.
Anyway, there is no danger in the game, and Mizuma Moon doesn't have to worry about whether to use child labor, and in line with the principle of maximizing resources, these children follow him as a human hand, after all, it is not much more convenient for a person to act.
The building found by Mizuma Moon is a small bell tower...... Not Big Ben, of course, just a small four-story bell tower.
Standing under the large bell, Mizuma looked at the surrounding scenery, and judged his position by corroborating the old map of London he had collected before he came.
At the press conference, it was said that Yusaku Kudo provided some planning for the game script, and most of it was the stage for solving crimes in this old London.
Yusaku Kudo is a rigorous person, so Mizuma Tsuki should not be scribbling on the setting of the map, it must be a reference to the actual map of old London.
So Mizumatsuki confirmed his location, and the surrounding road conditions and landforms.
Glancing back at the children who were still following him blankly, Mizumatsuki smiled: "Action!"
……
"Ahh
Just around, like a patrol policeman, Mizuma Yue, who was on night patrol with a group of children, confirmed the direction and ran over with the children.
didn't care about the people who were killed, anyway, it was just a string of data, and Mizuma Yue directly guessed the escape route of Jack the Ripper and then went to intercept it.
"You two, turn left at the next intersection, turn right at another intersection, and turn right at three intersections. Mizuma ordered the children behind her as she ran, and began to plan the layout after knowing the location of Jack the Ripper.
"You three, go into the alley on the right for a while, wait inside, and come out a second time when you hear our footsteps. ”
"You two, just stand at this junction and wait for the little fat man to catch up and leave him behind. "There was also a chubby child who was left behind because he couldn't run, and the original plan of Mizuma Moon to be two people and four groups was changed to two, three, and three in a total of three groups.
"Ah!" the two children screamed at first: "Here he is, run!"
Mizuma smiled at the success of his plan, and as he thought, Jack the Ripper, as the target of capture, set up a mechanism to run away when he encountered the player, even if it was only two children who stopped him.
Catching a person in the game is obviously much easier than catching a fugitive in reality.
As long as the path is chosen to escape by default, the default is to turn away from the last player encountered. The child who was scattered by Mizuma was able to pack Jack the Ripper like a pocket.
That's right, the role of eight children for the water moon is eight scarecrows and sirens.
"Ahh
Mizuma was guarding one end of a small alley, and suddenly noticed that the pedestrians on the street next to him had disappeared at some point.
After clearing the normal NPC, it seems that the game 'console', or Noah's Ark also realized that this place would become a battlefield.
Hurried footsteps came from across the alley, and Mizuma knew that Jack the Ripper was coming.
rushed out of the alley, Mizuma Moon saw Jack the Ripper, at least not the imaginary alien and did not have three heads and six arms, but the body was slender and long, and he was covered in red and black blood, which looked really impactful, I don't know if I have considered the psychological shadow or something for children to play with this.
After judging that he saw the moon between the waters, Jack the Ripper turned around without hesitation.
"Catch up!" two brave children appear at the other end of the alley, blocking Jack the Ripper.
Mizuma Moon smiled, one player on one side and two players on the other, which direction should you choose?
Jack the Ripper turned again.
It's game over!Mizuma Moon smiled smugly and raised her hand and fist.
A computer-generated person who fights better than he has honed his strength?
However, the game is not as easy as Mizuma Tsuki thought, and 'interference' appears.
Jack the Ripper, who had already chosen to attack Mizuma Moon in an unavoidable situation, suddenly turned around in a movement that violated the laws of human beings, turned away from Mizuma Moon and rushed towards the two children.
Mizuma Tsuki, who raised his hand to make a combat move, had slowed down, and it was too late to catch him.
Poof!
Two children with blank faces, one staring blankly at the sharp knife that pierced his chest, the other at his companion's fading body.
After killing a child, Jack the Ripper ran away from the alleyway, and after the water moon chased him out, he couldn't even hear the sound of footsteps.
This is not normal, it's not that Jack the Ripper really ran away, but it was eliminated by the game directly after leaving everyone's sight.
Mizuma knows that it is the difference between artificial intelligence and ordinary computers.
If it's absolutely not normal for Jack the Ripper to cheat during a confrontation, it's that Jack the Ripper did intend to fight him in the first place.
However, Noah's Ark should have judged that there was a risk of failure to pit Jack the Ripper against him, so he suddenly changed his attack target, and then made him disappear from Mizuma's tracking.
It's only been about twenty minutes into the game, and it's clear that Noah's Ark won't let Mizuki end the game now, and not in the same way that the game designers intended.
Several other children who heard the sound ran over and asked with concern, "Did you catch Jack the Ripper?...... What about Harada?" Harada should have been the child killed by Jack the Ripper, and now he has disappeared directly, but it is not bloody.
Harada ...... Harada was killed! Jack the Ripper was killed!" The children in Harada's group were in tears, their faces full of panic and collapse.
"Calm down, it's just that the game is lost, not really dead. Mizuma Yue walked back and said with a gloomy face.
This virtual game is too real, and just now he also had the illusion that the child was really dead.
It seems that Noah's Ark does not approve of his way of playing, and the purpose of this game should still be based on the essence of a detective game, collecting evidence and identifying the murderer.
'Hiss......' Mizuma Moon felt a little troublesome, if he went to collect evidence, he might meet Conan, and he felt very faceless after being busy during this time, and he didn't gain anything at all.
"Huh?" Speaking of the harvest, Mizuma remembered that Jack the Ripper should have left the knife in the child's body when he killed the child named Harada.
The murder weapon is a very important thing! Whether it is the investigation of fingerprints or the tracing of the source of the murder weapon, it is an important clue.
Mizuma immediately searched left and right, but the sharp knife that should theoretically have fallen to the place where Harada died, was nowhere to be found.
'Also erased by Noah's Ark?' Mizumatsuki's heart collapsed, she was targeted at all!
Conan's side
After Mizuma turned around and left with those children, Conan immediately nervously asked Gray Yuan if he could tell who was in the organization by his breath.
Gray Yuan shook his head regretfully: "Maybe it's because it's a simulation game, and I can't feel any breath at all now, but I'm sure that when I'm in the venue, it's this person and his companions who emit an aura of organization." ”
"Damn, I don't know what he wanted to do with those kids. Conan was a little annoyed and scratched his hair, the organizers have always been synonymous with danger to him, and as long as he appears, he will definitely not come to do public welfare activities.
If Mizumatsuki hears Conan's thoughts, she will definitely call out wronged, those children are all following by themselves!
"Don't worry too much, it's just a game, and he can't do anything with the kids, maybe it's just for the game. Gray Plains admonished.
"It's not just a game now, if the game fails, Noah's Ark will wipe out all the players. Conan said with a frown, this is also a big crisis.
"All the players have been wiped out, and the members of that organization can't run, so his purpose now should be the same as ours. Gray Plains and Conan have different opinions: "Maybe after knowing what happened here, the organization will also arrange actions to save this member, which is not bad news for us." ”
"But......" Conan was still worried, "What if the mutation of Noah's Ark is the ghost of the organization?"
Gray Yuan was silent for a moment, and then changed the subject: "Speaking of which, why did you suddenly join the game?"
"At the time of the press conference, there was a murder outside, and the deceased was the chief engineer of the Schindler Group. Conan explained.
"Shouldn't you be solving the case now? The officer won't stop you from doing it again. Gray Yuan asked, and then suddenly realized that he asked himself, "By the way, your father who is a detective is also there, so there is no room for you to play, right?"
Conan hung up the dead fish eyes: "It's pretty much the same, but Dad said that the clue to this case was hidden in this game, and I came to find this clue." ”
"Hiding the clues in the game?" Gray Plains narrowed his eyes, "If it wasn't for your father playing the game to fool you, then this case has something to do with Noah's Ark?"
"Na...... Who knows, I have to take one step at a time. Conan said as a detective.
"Conan, what are we going to do now!" Conan and Gray Hara were whispering about the members of the organization, and Ran and the other members of the Junior Detective Group were anxiously discussing the game, and then Ayumi interrupted Conan and Gray Hara's whisper.
"I don't know...... Anyway, let's just take a walk, I don't think there will be a clue to run into it by myself standing here. Conan said, then looked at the surrounding streets.
Several people chose a direction and walked away, and the remaining three children of the second generation of officials stood there and struggled.
"What should I do?" asked one of the children.
A boy with pigtails seemed to be the leader of these children, and after thinking about it, he made a decision: "The boy with glasses looks smart, and they also have a high school student, I think the odds of winning with them are better." ”
"Then go with them. A chubby little fat man who had a fight with Yuan Tai nodded.
The young detectives heard them and turned back a little unhappily: "Don't talk to yourself, okay, we didn't agree to let you go with us." "Before the start of the press conference, these second-generation children had some conflicts with the junior detective group, so the children did not have a good impression of them.
"Shouldn't we be grateful to Dade for giving you a chance to be our subordinates?" asked a second-generation official with hanging eyes.
"I won't take you!" Yuan Tai picked his eyelids.
"That's not good, Yuantai!" Xiaolan walked out: "Now is a very dangerous time, everyone should help each other." ”
"As long as we clear the level, we save everyone, and we don't need to help them now. Yuan Tai didn't buy this statement.
