Chapter 128: Death Realm Demon Mist City (5)

These two Scotland Yard Rangers were pretty much the most normal people they'd ever met since entering the game.

Kaedehara and Conan stepped aside and reunited with Gray Plains. But the two patrolmen didn't examine the body as they thought, but just stood by and looked at the body.

"Look like this, is it Jack the Ripper?"

"Hmm." One of the fatter patrolmen nodded.

"Tsk, that's trouble," the thinner patrolman said in a complaining tone, "the Lestrade Department specifically said that this guy's case was going to be reported to him... Let's go back. ”

In Xiaolan's surprised gaze, the two patrol officers chatted for a few words and turned around to leave.

"Wait a minute!" Xiaolan shouted, "What should she do? ”

She was clearly referring to the lonely dead man on the ground.

The two patrolmen stopped, as if they were surprised that they were being shouted, and looked at Xiaolan carefully a few times before the fat patrolman spoke slowly:

"Someone will come and clear the road later."

Clearing roads...?

Xiaolan was stunned for a moment and then reacted, a little angry. But the two patrolmen had already hurried through the crowd, and the strange atmosphere around her did not dare to go up to ask. The crowd of onlookers still stood there, silently watching the field, and the scene fell into a deathly silence for a moment.

"Why don't we get out of here first?" Yuan Zi couldn't help but whisper, "Those people are creepy to see me. ”

The others felt the same way, and they were relieved to turn into the alley they had just come from.

"How so..."

Xiaolan was a little sad, obviously still thinking about the corpse just now that no one cared about.

"It's just a game, Sister Lan." Conan reassured.

"Where next?" Hideki said, "Since you mentioned Jack the Ripper, you have to catch him now, right?" ”

"Usually this should be a clue to trigger the mission," Mitsuhiko said, "but it could also be a side quest..."

"Hey, it won't be so troublesome, there's a side quest, right?" Takizawa also chimed in.

"I think so, but I don't know how to catch Jack the Ripper yet..."

"Isn't the clue obvious?" Conan had a confident, expectant expression, "Did you hear that, Kaedehara?" What the patrolman just said..."

"Hmm." Kaede was a little helpless that Conan would still be a Riddler at this time, but he still agreed, "He said that Jack the Ripper's case should be notified to the Lestrade Police Department. ”

"Huh?" Xiaolan was stunned for a moment, "Could it be the Lestrade Police Department that appeared in the story?" But that's the character who appeared in Conan Doyle! ”

"This could be a world where reality and reality are mixed together," Gray Plains said, "Well, you two must be eager to visit that place, right?" ”

"Yes," Kaedehara learned from Conan as a riddler, "and maybe figure out the state of the world there." ”

"Hey, what are you talking about? Do not understand! ”

"That's right!"

Yuan Tai and the others didn't understand the conversation between Kaedehara and the others just now, and even Yuan Zi looked confused.

"Didn't Gray Yuan just say? It's a world of reality and mixing. Conan's eyes twinkled, "So that person should be here too... Sherlock holmes. ”

"Sherlock Holmes!"

"Really?"

"With Sherlock Holmes here, there are a hundred more people!" Mitsuhiko was pleasantly surprised.

As a group of junior detectives, they obviously also knew who Sherlock Holmes was and what he meant, and they were immediately excited and felt that the future was bright.

And hearing Mitsuhiko's words, Kaedehara thought of something, and couldn't help but glance at Gray Yuan.

"What's wrong?" Gray Yuan Wai leaned in and asked in a low voice.

"If there is Mei Yi, it is equivalent to the strength of a hundred people." Kaedehara blinked and said seriously.

Gray Yuan's ears were slightly red, and he stared at Kaede Yuan with half-moon eyes for a while before saying, "This is also the setting that Ling thought of for this casual name?" ”

"That's right."

"It's a shame I'm not Sherlock Holmes." Gray Yuan snorted, tilted his head, and followed the large army that began to march over there, "Last time, even wanting to be Watson was disgusted by a certain detective~"

Kaedehara followed, and walked through the alleyway with the others, returning to the main road before.

Only then did Xiaolan mention that she seemed to be getting stronger again. Kaedehara also felt this way, and it was even more pronounced than last time, so obvious that Motota and Mitsuhiko also noticed the change.

According to Mitsuhiko's analysis, this may be because they completed the "Jack the Ripper Murder Scene" event and received a mission reward.

It also means that they are indeed on the right path.

The future is no longer confused, the servants have become stronger, everyone's emotions have recovered a lot, and the depression brought by the strange atmosphere just now has subsided.

At this moment, they naturally want to go to Baker Street to find Sherlock Holmes, the "Light of the Times".

And thanks to Shinichi Kudo's own obsessive fondness for Sherlock Holmes, both Kaedehara and Conan can recognize the roads of this hundred-year-old city. They quickly determined that their location was in the Whitechapel area, a short distance from Baker Street, where Sherlock Holmes was located.

The crowd began to move forward.

Now that this section of the road only needs to go straight, Conan did not walk in the middle to lead the way, but deliberately stepped aside, intending to discuss something with his other self.

However, the face of Gray Yuanwai, who had been looking around on this road, became gloomy again, and he opened his mouth first.

"Kaedehara," Gray Plains whispered, rehashing the old story, "don't you think those people before were strange? I was watching the murder scene but didn't say a word..."

That's what Conan wanted to talk about.

“… That's because they're not looking at the scene of the killing. ”

"Huh?" Both Conan and Gray Plains were a little surprised.

"There were shrill screams at the time of the crime, but only a few houses in the nearby building had their lights on. And before that, when we encountered the attack for the first time, there was almost no reaction from the few passers-by who passed by...

The attitude of the two Scotland Yard Rangers was also strange. I think they're probably so used to crime scenes that they're so numb that they're indifferent to someone dying in front of them.

In this case, it was strange that we ran over to check the body. So... Those people weren't actually looking at the scene of the killing, they were looking at us. ”

What is really scary is not how many lives the world has taken, but how many people have become accustomed to the loss of life.

This is obviously different from Conan's world in Conan Doyle's eyes, which makes Conan feel a little depressed. After all, even if there are always various events happening around the detective, this is outrageous.

Gray Yuan was silent for a while before saying:

"Although London at the end of the century was in fact a time when the gap between rich and poor was very large, and the criminal methods were very brutal and the hearts of the people were sinister, this is also an exaggeration... And in that case, I don't think our plan to go to Sherlock Holmes will go so well..."

Kaedehara also felt that the plan might not go well.

The difficulty of the game has increased significantly, and ordinary children may not even know what to do when they enter the game, and it is even less likely that there will be such a good thing as letting them hug Holmes's thighs directly.

But regardless of whether the plan went well or not, it was obviously a good idea to go directly to Sherlock Holmes now, because even if they failed, they would be able to gain a deeper understanding of the world in the game.

Then they passed a stone bridge, and the river below looked dark, and there was a faint smell of rancidity, which made the group hasten their pace and leave, and then walked for a while.

"Hey, don't you think that bell is weird?" Hideki Zhuxing suddenly spoke.

Directly ahead is Big Ben.

They looked over.

The tower was lit up, and they could see the time very clearly, and it was 0:50 a.m. now.

Conan looked at it a few times and didn't notice anything strange, and was about to ask when he noticed that the minute hand of the clock suddenly reversed a step backwards.

"Ahh The minute hand is reversed! ”

"It's reversed again!"

"From 50 to 49, then to 48," Conan thought for a moment, "I see! That's the number of children participating in the game! ”

"What does that mean..."

"Could it be that two people are out of another game?" Xiaolan showed a worried expression.

I'm afraid that's true.

The atmosphere, which had been a little lively just now, was suppressed again, and everyone continued to walk towards Baker Street without delay.

It didn't take long for them to realize that something was wrong.
