The boy, who had never experienced such a scene, was suddenly stunned, his breathing became short, and all that remained in his eyes was all that the children had before they disappeared, contradictions, self-blame, panic, and fear...... All kinds of emotions came to him at once, and he was completely confused, like a soul out of his shell, standing there like a puppet, and despite his efforts to keep his eyes open, he could not see anything, and there was no focus in his beautiful red pupils, only a filthy distraction.

In the final analysis, he is only a sixteen-year-old boy, even if he counts the life of fifteen years old in his previous life, how old is he? Moreover, he did not experience any major ups and downs in his previous life, and he has reached the peak of his life.

Adversity came too quickly and too violently, so that he could not adapt at all, and he tried in vain to protect everyone, but forgot that he was actually just a child and needed the protection of others......

At this time, Conan, who was also in a desperate situation, suddenly found that among the people surrounding them, one of them was carefully protecting the red wine on the main seat of the table he had seen before.

It's just a bottle of red wine, so why protect it so carefully?

Suddenly, Conan thought of the empty seat, the extraordinarily decorated chair, and the attitude of the crowd towards it.

Yes, there will be no mistake, it must be that person's seat......

Conan, who had figured everything out, no longer hesitated, and took advantage of the moment when Colonel Moran was in control of the overall situation and showed a smug expression, snatched the bottle of red wine from the hands of a thug, and said his inference to Colonel Moran, who pointed a gun at the children: "If you shoot, this bottle of red wine will be broken!"

"What do you mean that?!" Colonel Moran choked slightly, but still playing dumb, he didn't believe that a mere child would know about Professor Moriarty.

"The empty seat at the table where you were playing cards, the specially decorated chairs, and the glasses and wine for someone who was about to come, make it clear that the person who was going to come must be Professor Moriarty. Conan held the bottle high and said in a deep voice.

He was gambling, betting on Colonel Moran's loyalty to Professor Moriarty. He saw very clearly the scene just now when Colonel Moran would rather run away from my guns than be captured, and he believed that Colonel Moran would never dare to break the red wine that made him so loyal.

Colonel Moran hesitated.

Things took a turn for the better, and soon an old man who looked like a butler appeared at the door, and in the name of Professor Moriarty, he rescued the children from the stalemate, and Conan, or rather, everyone, finally met the famous "Napoleon of crime" - Professor Moriarty, a thin, tall, calm, elegant and fashionable old man with cologne, by the carriage at the entrance of the club.

Probably admiring Conan's ability to adapt and his ability to reason, Professor Moriarty didn't mind the slightest thing, and talked happily with Conan and the others.

As recorded in Holmes's notes, Jack the Ripper has a deep connection with Professor Moriarty, to be exact, in this game world, Jack the Ripper is the murderous tool that Professor Moriarty has cultivated, and now, this tool has gone berserk and began to kill people uncontrollably, which is why London Horror Night.

"If you want to deal with Jack the Ripper, then I'm here to help you. After mentioning the intention, Professor Moriarty happily accepted their request to find Jack the Ripper, as if he wanted to say something interesting, and the corners of his mouth curled wickedly: "Although Jack the Ripper has begun to go berserk, if I give the order to kill, he will still obey it." You just have to wait for him first. ”

"How?!" Conan hurriedly asked him.

"I'll be advertising him tomorrow in The Sunday Times. ”

"Who are you going to order him to kill?"

Hearing Conan's words, Professor Moriarty smiled even more happily: "Just look at tomorrow's paper." ”

Although he knew that Professor Moriarty had no good intentions, at this time, Conan had no other way to use except gambling, so he could only move forward step by step. The way out, long before they stepped into this game, was gone.

When Professor Moriarty left in the carriage, the few survivors could not help but breathe a sigh of relief, no matter how amiable Professor Moriarty looked, they still felt great fear and deep pressure in the face of this man who controlled the entire European underworld.

Conan was equally relieved, and it turned out that he had made the right bet once again.

"Brother, you have to remember that the real wicked people are people with extreme pride, they are lonely, proud, despise everything, have their own unique worldview and philosophy, but they will not do those flies and dogs, for example, the genius criminal in the novel - Professor Moriarty. ”

He was really grateful to his brother, who had disappeared for ten years, because his brother's words had saved him again.

The crisis disappeared for a while, and Conan, who was relieved, began to scan the rest of the people. It's a pity that in the conflict just now, the companions who have not been injured have suffered heavy losses all of a sudden, Ayumi, Motota, Mitsuhiko, Mayuki, and Kikukawa have all disappeared because of their injuries, and now, only Xiaolan, Ashbara, Xiaohui, Zhuxing, Jiang Mamoru, Takizawa and himself are seven people. Conan sighed and was glad that his partner hadn't been wiped out by his brother's mistake.

It's really rare that that proud, confident, and indifferent person would actually miss......

Conan looked at his brother-in-law with a somewhat complicated look, but soon, he noticed a problem.

"Ashbara, what's the matter with him, is he hurt?" After a few shouts without answering, Conan asked Ashbara beside him about Edogawa Akiki. He couldn't believe it, it was only a few minutes, and the person who had just acted with him had completely changed his appearance, his face was pale, his eyes were blank, and a look of pain flashed from time to time, and his body twitched slightly, as if the bones of his whole body had been pulled out, if he hadn't leaned on Gray Yuan's body, he would probably have fallen, right?

"What's wrong with Xiaohui? How did it become like this?!" Hearing Conan's words, and looking at the boy's face again, even if it was a simple Xiaolan, she found that something was wrong, that giggling, always around him and calling her Sister Xiaolan, and asking her for something to eat, the cute little guy who was gone, that kind of confused, confused, painful, and struggling mixed eyes, made Xiaolan feel a little chilled all over.

"It's okay," Facing the eyes of everyone gathered because of Conan's words, Gray Yuan Wai casually blocked everyone's sight, and glanced at Conan: "He probably contracted some wind cold, and it was late at night, let's find a place to rest first, maybe tomorrow will be fine." ”

"But ......" Xiaolan is still a little worried, and besides, this is obviously a game world, can the spirit body also get sick?

"Gray Yuan is right, let's go back first, let's go to Holmes's house for a night, because there is no British money, we can't find a hotel, go back and rest early, don't we continue to find Jack the Ripper tomorrow?" Seeing Gray Yuan's gesture, although he didn't know why, Conan still said cooperatively.

"But ......" Xiaolan was still not at ease, because the boy's condition did not look generally bad.

"It's all right, Sister Lan, if we really can't help it, let's go and borrow money from Mr. Holmes's housekeeper to take him to the hospital. Let's go, if it's any later, the cold will be even heavier. Conan hurriedly made up nonsense with Xiaolan. Since he became smaller, his ability to speak nonsense with his eyes open has grown.

"Okay. Hearing Conan say this, Xiaolan had no choice but to nod in agreement.

Back on Baker Street, the housekeeper of the Sherlock Holmes family still received them warmly, and divided them into three rooms, one for Zhuxing, Takizawa and Emori, one for Conan, Edogawa Akiki and Ash Hara, and one for Xiaolan because she was a girl.

"Now, you can tell me, what's wrong with him, right?" After everyone had fallen asleep, Conan finally couldn't help but ask Gray Plains, who was walking back to Baker Street with him in his arms, and the boy at this time was still as stunned as he was at the club, and looked quite bad. He was really worried about the boy, and if he lacked the boy's strength, it would undoubtedly be another blow to them in this dangerous environment.

"I don't know, you've been with him all the time, tell me what happened when he was with you, what he did, be careful, don't leave anything behind, words, actions, don't fall behind at all. Gray Yuan looked directly at Conan, his calm eyes were as deep as a lake and did not see the waves, and his tone was still so calm and cold, but if anyone who knew her was present, he would find her anxiety hidden under the calm, her hand tightly grasping the boy's clothes, which was trembling slightly, and the cyan veins stood out through the back of her white hand.

So Conan began to think carefully about the things he had done with the boy, every movement, every change in his demeanor......

With Conan's words, Gray Yuan's somewhat impatient expression slowly eased, and he reached out and gently stroked the boy's face, with a faint sadness under his gentle expression: "I know." ”

This fool is trying to force himself again......

"Then tell me about it. Looking at the boy like this, for some reason, Conan suddenly felt that he was pitiful and sighed softly.

Gray Yuan Wai shook his head softly, but did not speak. He gently stroked his green fingers around the boy's neck and pressed the pulsating artery. After a while, his breathing was scattered, and the little boy who looked panicked slowly stopped trembling, slowly closed his eyes, and his breathing gradually stabilized.

Gray Yuan Wai carefully placed the boy's body in his arms and hugged it gently, as if caring for a fragile piece of porcelain.

"You!" Seeing Gray Yuan's actions, Conan's eyes froze slightly.

"Isn't it strange? Why can even I, a powerless little girl, faint him?" As if pitying, as if laughing at himself, an uncomfortable smile appeared on Gray Yuan's face.

"How could he ......" Yes, such a person who has been a killer, even if he becomes a child, has the strength of a person who is not inferior to an adult, no matter how he loses his mind, at least the body's reaction should still be there, how can he be so easily subdued by a little girl?

As if seeing through Conan's doubts, Gray Plains' lips opened lightly: "Because, he is the same as us now." ”

"What do you mean?" Conan was puzzled.

"That is to say, he is now a 'real' child, no longer has extraordinary ability, no great strength, no marksmanship, no longer has the strength to protect everyone......" As if feeling the pain in the boy's heart, Gray Yuan's brows furrowed heavily, his face was full of regret, and suddenly, she was shocked in her heart: "I remembered! No wonder, no wonder he didn't pull Kikukawa up at once at the broken bridge, no wonder he was always restless, no wonder he wiped the gun over and over again...... I see, I see...... Damn, why didn't I find out sooner? Why didn't you tell me......"

"Hey, Gray Plains......" Gray Plains' words seemed scattered and lacked logic, Conan only had some vague feelings, and in order to confirm his thoughts, he had to speak again.

"Did you say that? He hesitated for a moment before making a move? Moreover, he had successfully controlled the scene at the beginning, but he actually let the scene get out of control again, and Colonel Moran, who had been subdued by him before, suddenly flopped?"

"Hmm. ”

"If his ability is still there, the kick he kicked Colonel Moran would be enough to kick Colonel Moran's leg off! How could he be allowed to stand up uneventful? Even if he didn't count this, the moment Colonel Moran moved, with his ability, it was enough to shoot Colonel Moran, why didn't he shoot and let Colonel Moran run away?" Gray Yuan completely understood the root of all the boy's wrongness, however, her heart was full of regret at this time, and she didn't notice it at all in the face of the boy's various wrongs!

"I see what you mean, you mean that all of his abilities are the same as a normal seven-year-old, right? Strength, IQ, reaction speed, all these things. Conan said with a deep groan.

"That's it. Gray Yuan Wai nodded slightly.

Conan nodded knowingly, but new doubts came back to his mind: "Even if this is the case, it shouldn't be like this, right? It's just a small failure......" As a killer who came out of the organization, his psychological quality should not be like this.

"A small failure?" As if hearing some joke, Gray Yuan sneered, and looked at Conan with a cold light in his eyes: "Don't forget, Kojima-kun and they died in front of him!"

"But...... It's not Xiaohui's fault......" Xiaolan said with some hesitation.

"But he'd think it's his fault! This idiot must have thought that it was his mistake that caused the others to be out, and more than one person! It was four! Do you know what that means to him?" Gray Yuan looked at Conan with a sneer.

"But it's just a game......" Conan still didn't understand.

"It's not a game!" Gray Plains interrupted Conan, "Once everyone is out, then it means death!"

"......" Conan was silent.

"You probably don't know what kind of position you occupy in his heart, do you?" Gray Plains squinted at Conan, and for a moment his heart was filled with hatred for this person, this is this person! Always unintentionally hurting her most important person! It is this person, his so-called justice, who has been restraining him! Let his heart be filled with guilt for his family! Let his character be distorted!

Conan couldn't understand Ashbara's words. Although they only got along quite well, after all, they had only been together for less than a year, so what status did they have in Edogawa Akiki's heart?

It should be said that it is better to be a familiar stranger, even if his mother recognized him as a righteous son, and he recognized his brother-in-law, but the feelings, not that they exist after admitting, after all, the time they spend with each other is too short. He wants to save him because he is his brother-in-law, but fundamentally, it is more because he wants to save a person who has strayed into the quagmire from the perspective of justice, rather than saving his own brother as an elder brother.

"Sure enough, you don't know anything about it......" Even if he knew that this was the result, Gray Yuan Wai still felt deeply worthless for the boy from the bottom of his heart. It was for this person that the boy in her arms had put himself to death more than once, however, in exchange for only such a result.

"He values your lives more than himself, and he is willing to sacrifice everything to protect you, but now, he has no strength, he can't do anything, he can't protect your safety, and he can only watch you disappear in front of him, do you know, how hard this hit him?" Gray Yuan's calm words with incredible power kept beating Conan's heart.

Conan was silent, not knowing what to say.

"So, he was scared, he was confused, he didn't know what he could do, he deliberately forced himself, forced himself to accept the task you gave him, however, the development of things was completely unexpected by him, because of his mistakes, so everyone went out one after another, one after another, his pain, his remorse, can you understand?!" As if questioning, Gray Yuan Wai stared at Conan with some complicated eyes.

If it weren't for Gray Yuan's mourning, Conan would probably never have thought that he, a younger brother who slept lazily all day, was gluttonous, and had no heart and lungs, would have so much pressure and attach so much importance to the people around him.

"I'm sorry. There was silence for a long time, and Conan could only say this one sentence.

"I don't need to apologize, and neither does he. Gray Yuan said lightly.

"I know. ”

"You know what I want you to do. ”

"Well," Conan nodded slightly, and laughed: "I've always been worried about my brother, my brother is really shameless, it's up to me next, I will definitely protect him out of this damn game!"

"Well, that'...... Please. Although he hates Conan very much, Gray Yuan Wai still recognizes Conan's ability very much, and with Conan's assurance, Gray Yuan Wai has been nervous and slightly relaxed.

"Don't worry, I will always stay by your side and protect you. Gray Yuan groomed the boy's hair, hugged the boy tightly into his arms, which exuded a faint body temperature, and said secretly in his heart.
