485. Sherlock Holmes
Previously, Ark they ignored an important thing, "The Mist of Baker Street" in order to increase the fun of the game, so it was linked with an enduring big IP.
In fact, from the name of the game, players can also guess what the linkage IP is.
Baker Street is the street where Sherlock Holmes, the main character, lives in the Sherlock Holmes book written by Sir Conan Doyle.
"The Mists of Baker Street" is linked with the famous "Sherlock Holmes Detective Collection", and the real case of Jack the Ripper is set in London, which can attract both game fans and fans, definitely killing two birds with one stone.
They are now in a virtual game world that blends with reality, and here is Sherlock Holmes and his assistant Watson.
And Sherlock Holmes is the one they are going to find who definitely has the strength to help them solve the case.
......
On the way to Sherlock Holmes' house, Nanke has been talking about Sherlock Holmes, and it seems that Nanke is a die-hard fan of Sherlock Holmes, and when Sherlock Holmes is mentioned, his face is full of excitement.
However, Ark had some doubts at this time, not to question Holmes's ability. It's just that if they successfully find Sherlock Holmes, with Holmes's ingenuity, it will definitely not be a problem to crack Jack the Ripper.
But what's the point of playing the game like this?
It's like, as soon as the game starts, a full-level boss will appear to take you to play, and you will win the game all the way, although the game becomes simple, but at the same time it will lose the fun it deserves.
That doesn't seem to fit the purpose of the game.
But anyway, since they decided to go to Sherlock Holmes, let's take a look.
In fact, Ark has watched "Sherlock Holmes Detective Collection", and he also admires the character of Sherlock Holmes, and it is good to have the opportunity to fulfill the wish in his heart, even if it is just a virtual character.
......
"Whoa..."
They knocked on the door at 221B Baker Street, and a kind-looking woman opened the door for them: "Who are you looking for?" ”
Nanke spoke, "Hello, Mrs. Hudson, we have come to find Mr. Holmes. ”
Mrs. Hudson replied, "Mr. Holmes and Dr. Watson are on a business trip, and they are not at home. ”
Nan Ke was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly asked, "On a business trip?" Where did they go on a business trip? ”
Mrs. Hudson thought for a moment and replied, "They're going to Dartmore." ”
Nan Ke's face changed: "May I ask what day it is today?" ”
"September 30th."
"September 30, Dartmore."
Nanke muttered the name, and then suddenly remembered something: "I see, it's the Baskerville Hound incident." ”
Bai Guo was curious: "What is the Baskerville Hound incident?" ”
"To put it simply, it was in a manor called Baskerville, and there was a terrifying legend about hounds. Several owners of the Baskerville estate have died unexpectedly, and Holmes and Watson have been commissioned to investigate the matter. And the end result: one of the heirs of the manor used the horror legend of the hound to commit a crime in order to obtain the inheritance of the family's huge fortune. But the problem is that in the meantime, both Holmes and Watson have left London and are unable to help us. ”
Although Sherlock Holmes is set in this game, he is not here.
This result is actually expected by the Ark, after all, if Sherlock Holmes plays, the player will not have to play, just lie down and win.
Then, Nanke offered to enter Mr. Holmes's room to have a look. But he was politely rejected by Mrs. Hudson. After all, they were only three strangers in Mrs. Hudson's eyes, so how could they be allowed to enter Mr. Holmes's room.
......
Because of Holmes's absence, the flame of hope that had just appeared was extinguished, and with the clues they currently have, it is indeed not enough to crack the true identity of Jack the Ripper.
They still need more clues, but the police have already learned about them, and who else in London now has more information about Jack the Ripper.
"Damn!"
Nanke kicked the stone off his foot: "Mr. Holmes is not here, but who else in London but Mr. Holmes can..."
Nan Ke suddenly stopped, he looked at the Ark, and the Ark obviously thought of something, they looked at each other, and slowly said the same name: "Professor Moriarty." ”
Bai Guo was puzzled: "Professor Moriarty, may I ask who is that?" ”
Nanke explained: "If Sherlock Holmes is compared to a light in this era, then the representative of darkness is undoubtedly Professor Moriarty, who is the old enemy of Sherlock Holmes, who controls the dark and vast criminal kingdom of London, and is known as the Napoleon of crime." If Sherlock Holmes exists here, Professor Moriarty should also exist. ”
"Professor Moriarty sounds dangerous, what are you mentioning him for?"
Fang Ark answered, "Professor Moriarty is in charge of London's criminal scene. For Jack the Ripper, he should have a lot of clues that the police can't grasp. Since we can't turn to the light of Sherlock Holmes, let's try to get in touch with the darkness. ”
Nanke was a little apprehensive: "However, Professor Moriarty is a very dangerous person after all. ”
Ark waved his hand: "Professor Moriarty is dangerous, but I think he can take this risk. First: it's a game, and we don't really pay with our lives for it. Second. Since it is a game of reasoning, it is more or less necessary to face some dangers, seeking light from the darkness. Isn't that what we're here for? Until there is currently no better solution, I suggest looking for Professor Moriarty. ”
After listening to Fang Zhou's words, Bai Guo said without hesitation: "I listen to Fang Zhou." ”
Nanke hesitated for a moment and agreed: "I also agree to go to Professor Moriarty. However, Professor Moriarty is very hidden, how can we find him? ”
"We don't know where Professor Moriarty is, but we can find him through people who are related to him."
"Someone related to him.".
Nanke thought for a moment: "I see, we can start with Professor Moriarty's right-hand man, Colonel Shebascha Monlang. He must have known Professor Moriarty's location, and we knew where he was, as must have been mentioned in Sherlock Holmes, where Colonel Shebascha Monlang frequented the playing club in the city center. ”
"Let's go, let's go there."
