This is a game world set in London a hundred years ago, and the highest point of the world is obviously not Mount Everest, but the chimney that spews out magic fog.

They had looked there with binoculars before, and they knew how high the chimney was, and they knew that it would not be easy to even stand on it.

Regardless of whether the mission goal was to defeat Moriarty or destroy the Demon Mist Factory, the goal was the same, so after discussing it, they decided to go to the factory in the city center.

They rested for a while to recuperate, and then left Colonel Moran, who was still tied, to head towards their goal. There were a lot of criminals in the vicinity of the factory, but after completing the Moran incident, they were promoted and managed to reach the vicinity of the factory without any problems, and by this time it was already dark.

"The factory doesn't seem to be working," Conan glanced at from afar, "but it's no wonder that since Moriarty was going to meet Holmes there, the factory must be shut down." ”

"He's climbing to the top." Gray Yuan looked at the chimney with a telescope.

Like last time, the telescope was passed through the hands of everyone.

In the telescope's view, Moriarty walked like a walk on the metal staircase around the chimney, and at some point, a rope ladder leading to the top was hung.

After discussing it again, they planned to take advantage of Moriarty's absence to sneak in and destroy the Demon Mist Factory.

Even though they didn't have props like gunpowder, what Conan had in mind was a way to scrap the machine or even explode on its own, if the machine could be a little more scientific.

At the same time, in order to avoid the fact that the main quest is actually on Moriarty's side, they also have to send someone to meet Moriarty at the top of the chimney, and at the same time drag Moriarty to buy time for sabotage.

Of course, it would be nice to kick him down.

At this time, the only people who had combat power and had spells available were Kaedehara and Hideki Zhuxing, and when the latter refused, Kaedehara became the best candidate.

"It's really unlucky, I just became the master."

Conan, who was quite happy at first, couldn't help but complain to Kaedehara that Xiaolan was his servant, and he also wanted to climb up and meet Moriarty.

"I can't beat him anyway," Kaedehara made this judgment intuitively, "It's time to delay if you go, and it's the same if you go." ”

"Forget it," Conan just casually expressed his frustration, knowing very well that Kaedehara, who has combat effectiveness, is more suitable than himself, not to mention that this is the proposal of Hideki Zhuxing, "It's better for me to wreak havoc below." ”

"I'll give you back what I said before," Conan continued, after a pause, "Please... You know. ”

The staircase up the chimney was on the exterior wall of the factory, and when the factory was shut down and the demonic fog did not erupt, Conan and the others managed to sneak in through the back door in a manner consistent with the Assassin's Creed.

Kaedehara glanced upwards.

Ash Yuan Ai stood beside him, and according to the plan, she neither infiltrated the factory nor climbed up with it, but used a telescope below to observe the situation on the top of the chimney, ready to support Kaedehara with a command spell.

“… It's like the Reichenbach waterfall. Gray Yuan said softly.

"Because Moriarty, Yo Holmes is meeting here?" Kaedehara looked at the towering chimney in front of him, there was nothing like a waterfall in this thing, "It's a pity that Holmes isn't there." ”

“… Since he's not here," Gray Plains turned his head to look at Kaedehara's side face, "That's our Sherlock Holmes." ”

"There's no incident that Holmes can't solve, not even the duel with Moriarty, who came back from Reichenbach Falls intact," Grayplain continued, "so... You're going to make it back, right? ”

Kaedehara looked into her eyes, their ice-blue eyes as calm as the surface of a lake, reflecting her own face.

“… Of course, Miss Watson. ”

This is a response to her words when she first entered the game.

They didn't have time to delay, and there was some faint movement inside the factory. The security personnel near the stairs were drawn away, and Kaedehara seized the opportunity to climb up.

The chimney is high.

Ahead is a spiraling metal staircase, and stepping on it makes a slight noise, making people worry about whether it will fall off.

Then he came to the end of the staircase, and all that was left was the rope ladder straight up.

He paused and glanced down.

Although he couldn't really see it, he still vaguely noticed that the small figure below was waving at him, apparently looking at himself with a telescope.

Kaedehara waved in response, then climbed the rope ladder.

Then he sensed something was wrong.

As he climbed up, his body slowly returned to Kudo Shinichi, his clothes slowly adapted to his changes, and what was even more unscientific was that he didn't feel any effect on the rope ladder as he got bigger.

Noah's Ark was apparently the work of this...

Yours is the case...

Kaedehara thought to himself, after climbing to the top, he completely transformed into Kudo Shinichi.

Moriarty was looking at the scenery below a few steps away.

However, Kaedehara ignored Moriarty and waved his hand in the direction of Gray Hara.

Last time she said she wanted to see what she looked like when she got bigger, and although it was in the game, it was also an opportunity.

However, he couldn't see Gray Yuan's reaction now, and what caught his eye was the whole city of London.

"You're here." Moriarty spoke suddenly.

“……”

In order not to affect the style of painting, Kaedehara swallowed back the words on his lips and remained silent.

Moriarty didn't care if the sentence was answered, he didn't even care that the person who came wasn't Sherlock Holmes.

"It has been said that half of London's crimes are related to me, and I have to correct a little more – than just half."

"I am the embodiment of sin. Do you know what is the greatest pleasure in manipulating crime behind the scenes? ”

"Playing with people's hearts?" Kaedehara thought for a moment and replied.

"Not bad, not bad! You are very talented! ”

Moriarty was not shy about approving.

"The arrogant laughter of the perpetrators, the painful moans of the victims, the frightened expressions of the bystanders... Everything is a delight. So you must be able to understand how I felt when I found out about this demonic fog, right? ”

"But what about the result?" Moriarty paused for a moment and looked down at the crowd of people in the city of London, "But in just two years, this group of people has become so numb that they forget to resist, forget to struggle, and don't even want to give me a look of fear and fear..."

"What would you think if it were you?" Moriarty looked back at Kaedehara.

You are called fishing with all your might.

"I don't want to." Kaedehara replied, the sun slowly rising in the sky, "I'm just a detective. I'm here just to bring my companions home. ”

"Huh! You're pretty direct. "But until then, since Holmes didn't come... Then it's up to you to appreciate what I have in store for him... It's a gorgeous and grand show..."

Boom –

As soon as his words fell, a violent explosion rang out from the factory below.

The explosions continued, and the chimney began to crumble.

Kaedehara didn't have time to worry about Conan and them, so he had to worry about himself. The place where he could land was already narrow, and Kaedehara steadied himself, and then found Moriarty lunging towards him.

Moriarty is strong.

Unlike a child's body, Kaedehara's near-adult body shape is more suitable for Kaedehara to exert his fighting ability, and as his body changes back to Kudo Shinichi's appearance, his physical fitness has improved again.

But even so, he can only play with Moriarty.

However, as he became familiar with the change in size, Moriarty's physical strength was at a disadvantage, and Kaedehara gradually gained the upper hand.

Just when he felt that the wave was stable, a violent series of explosions came again, and the flames of the explosion steamed upward, and the chimney could no longer hold on, and began to pour to one side.

He tried to run down the toppled chimney, but it didn't take two steps before Moriarty pounced again.

The explosion was heard again.

He fell down with Moriarty.

Moriarty was smiling happily in the air.

Kaedehara wasn't happy at all.

He obviously promised that Gray Plains would go back smoothly, although he could go back after the game, but it always felt like he had broken his promise...

It's just that he can't do anything.

The building below is burning, and the explosion is still not stopped, no matter how you look at it, this will be a situation of going out on the spot...

Anyone would feel that way.

Ash Yuan Wai put down the binoculars, clenched his fist and let go, using her last spell. It's just that, judging from the previous judgment, the spell can't save the current Kaedehara.

But, what if?

And then...

Kaedehara, who had changed back to the appearance of a child, looked at the gray plain in front of him and blinked with some confusion.

Sherlock Holmes was resurrected because of people's wishes.

……

"I thought the game was over."

The gray plain in front of him was looking at himself carefully, and Kaedehara opened his mouth to break the silence.

But as soon as he finished speaking, the world suddenly seemed to be swept into a whirlpool, and by the time he saw the scene in front of him again, he was already in the seemingly endless open space at the beginning.

The only people standing beside him were Gray Plains, Conan, and Hideki Stars.

"It's game over." The voice of Noah's Ark came from the void, "Congratulations, you have cleared the game." ”

The end of the game was a little abrupt, Kaedehara was even thinking about Gray Yuan's expression just now, Conan and Gray Yuan Ai also seemed to be thinking about something, only Zhuxing Hideki was the first to react.

"Whew," Hideki the stars breathed a sigh of relief, "I'm sure you're wonderful. ”

“… You forgot to get Sister Garden, Noah's Ark. Feng Yuan said helplessly, "Or should I call you Hongshu?" ”

“……”

The figure flickered, and the stars and trees changed into the appearance of another delicate boy.

"I just wanted to talk to you alone. You've found out a long time ago, haven't you? ”

"I first thought it strange at Big Ben," said Conan, "and you noticed it before the clock moved. Then there is football, and Hideki Zhuxing, as a football teenager, should not be uninterested in football a hundred years ago. ”

"It's even more excessive." Kaedehara continued, "You deliberately said that on the train, you didn't want me to follow me into the freight car..."

"Because you came up with it so easily," Hongshu said, "I think you probably heard about it from game designers." ”

He deliberately added the play, but the performance was too obvious and the reason was far-fetched. It was here that he realized from the trio's unrequited reactions that all three of them had discovered his identity.

"And in the explosion just now, she was about to be hit by the falling machine, but the machine suddenly tilted to the side. It's also because you don't want to be out of the game yet. Conan said.

"yes."

"That's... Sherlock Holmes suddenly appeared and saved me, and you also arranged it on purpose? ”

This is a situation that neither Kaedehara nor Ashbara understands about it.

At the time of the explosion, Conan was almost hit by the collapsed machinery, but he was held and dodged, and when he looked back, he saw that it was Sherlock Holmes with Kudo's Yusaku face.

"Hmm." Hongshu admitted, "Do you like it? ”

"It feels pretty good... Thank you..."

Conan was a little embarrassed.

He managed to see Sherlock Holmes and worked with him to destroy several key hubs and complete the escape. And Sherlock Holmes had his father's face, which made him feel like he was fighting with his father, whom he hadn't seen for a long time.

It's double the joy.

The duel with Moriarty is naturally also adapted by Hongshu.

In Kaedehara's last conversation with him, Kaedehara mentioned that he liked Sherlock Holmes.

"Even if the game fails, you don't really want our lives, do you?" After a few words, Conan turned to the point, "You also gave a lot of hints in the game to guide us in the direction of the mission... Not to mention that you created these episodes for us..."

Hongshu was silent for a moment, and there were faint tears floating in his eyes.

"The reason why I borrowed the body of Zhuxing to sneak into the game is because I also want to play with my friends, as Hongshu, even once. I'm always working in my life..."

"Thank you," Kaedehara said, "it's a pleasure to play the game with you." ”

"Hmmm! I'm really happy..."Hongshu wiped the corners of his eyes, "It's time for you to leave the game..."

He pointed to the exit, which was also a stone gate.

But Kaedehara, Gray Plains, and Conan didn't move.

"Hongshu, you'll live forever in Noah's Ark, right?"

Hongshu shook his head, "If a computer like me continues to exist, it will only be used by adults to do bad things, and artificial intelligence should not appear at all..."

"You're going to self-destruct?" Gray Plains, who had been silent before, was a little surprised.

“… Well. Alright, it's time for you guys to go back..."

"You can hide yourself well, can't you?" Kaedehara said, "Why don't you get some sleep?" ”

Hongshu was stunned for a moment.

"Maybe by the time you wake up again, artificial intelligence will be common, or maybe then ordinary people can upload their consciousness to cyberspace..."

"When that happens, let's play games together, right?"

There was a brief silence.

"Well, that's an appointment."

"Goodbye." Hongshu continued, this time before Kaedehara and the others walked into the stone gate by themselves, their consciousness began to leave the game space.

"Shiho Miyano, Shinichi Kudo..."
