Conan's grammatical investigator

Chapter 782 The Inescapable Yellow Nightmare
Write a famous person, called Yangko star
"Yangko?"

"Star"

Conan was very puzzled, and could only look at Qin Zhibo's leaving back with a puzzled face.

"From now on, are we going to split up?" Mao Lilan approached Conan and asked.

"Yeah." Conan nodded.

After Qin Zhibo left, Mao Lilan, the oldest sister, should be the backbone of the team.

But for some reason, Mao Lilan wanted to rely on this little figure wearing glasses in his heart.

"Then let's go to the theater now!" San Xiaozhi interjected.

Holding the newspaper in his hand, Conan read out the address of the theater given by Qin Zhibo.

"13 Drury Street, Old Theater"

Without Qin Zhibo, the world navigator, it is not easy to go to Drury Street.

After Conan, Hui Yuanai, and Mao Lilan asked for directions in turn, the group finally found Drury Street in the North End of London.

On the way, several people passed by Big Ben again and saw the numbers on the clock, and the minute hand stayed on 10.

This shows that the 10 people in the London game are the only remaining players.

If all 10 of them are eliminated, it will be a complete loss.

Conan recalled the game process on his side so far, but he didn't encounter the situation where he was almost eliminated.

If it is played by ordinary players, it seems that it can last until this time, right?

But in fact, Conan was wrong.

If it is an ordinary player, if they see the queen's face, a person with a will of 50 will definitely lose his dignity in front of the imperial court.

Even an investigator like Conan, who has a higher will than ordinary people, may make inappropriate voices without being reminded.

And in the context of this world, it is a very serious sin to be disrespectful in front of the ruler.

There is no need for a trial, the ruler strangles a human being, it is as easy as strangling a bedbug.

The time in the game flashed by, and it was night in a blink of an eye.

The old theater finally opened.

Conan immediately wanted to sneak into the theater from the backstage passage, but was blocked by the staff.

"Hey! Except for relevant personnel, no one is allowed to enter this place!"

Conan quickly explained, "We are friends of Mr. Holmes and want to find him."

Before Conan could finish speaking, the staff rushed him outside angrily.

"Go! The person you mentioned is not here, let's go!"

"Don't delay our performance!"

Conan and the others were "invited" out, while San Xiaozhi stood aside and gasped.

"Could Holmes not be here?" Mitsuhiko raised his chin and asked suspiciously, "Uncle Qin's clue is wrong?"

Conan shook his head and reasoned: "No, Holmes is here."

"The man's answer just now was 'the man is not here', which on the contrary shows that he knows Holmes."

"He rejected us so much, maybe because he was worried that we were the ones who came to investigate."

Conan still remembers Sherlock Holmes under the setting of this world. He is an anarchist. In addition to murdering the prince, he is naturally an official wanted criminal.

If Holmes belonged to a gang, an organization, he would be more cautious.

"We can only enter through the main entrance now."

Several people came to the main entrance and went to the ticket office to inquire about the fare.

"A ticket is 3000 yen per person."

Conan looked at the coins in his hand that didn't add up to more than 1000 yen, and quickly raised his head to be cute, "Uncle, we are all children, can we buy children's tickets?"

"Children's ticket?" The man who sold the ticket snorted contemptuously, "Don't children also occupy a seat?"

"If you don't have money, don't go to the theater, go, don't delay the guests behind to buy tickets!"

Social skills (cute), failed.

Helpless, Conan had no choice but to return it and pool the money with others.

However, the initial capital set for each person in the game seems to refer to the number of coins carried by several people in reality.

Apart from Conan, only Mao Lilan and San Xiaozhi brought some scattered silver, which added up to 2755 yen, and they couldn't buy a single ticket.

Yuan Tai looked dissatisfiedly at several luxuriously dressed houlang, "Aren't your families rich? Why can't you come up with any money?"

The four in the back wave immediately retorted, "The real rich don't have money on them. People of your class can't understand it."

"What?!" Yuan Tai was so angry that he blew his nose and stared, and was about to go up with his arms, but fortunately, Mao Lilan stopped him.

"Everyone, don't quarrel, maybe there are other ways."

Facing the embarrassing situation, Conan raised his chin and thought about it.

He never expected that although he got the clue, he was stopped by the ticket money.

It's really hard for a penny to beat a hero!
Conan closed his eyes, thinking in his head, what would he do if Qin Zhibo was in this situation?
Qin Zhibo's figure appeared in the void, showing a harmless smile to Conan.

"Grab it—"

Conan's eyelids drooped, knowing what Qin Zhibo did.

This guy will definitely grab it.
Conan turned his head and glanced at Mao Lilan, and evaluated Mao Lilan's force value in his heart.

Although this is in the game, it will also inherit the karate skills in reality.

If Mao Lilan is allowed to grab some money, it shouldn't be a problem.

But if you do this, will you teach the children badly?

And let Mao Lilan steal the money, I feel a little bit unbearable
In Conan's heart, Mao Lilan is a pure angel with white wings, and no dirt is allowed.

I took the initiative to let Mao Lilan grab the money, and I was somewhat conflicted in my heart.

At this time, a voice from the side came faintly.

"I think the equipment made by Dr. Ali should be worth some money?"

Conan froze for a moment, then turned his head to see that Haibara Ai was staring at Conan's glasses with her little hands behind her back.

Conan blushed and responded in a low voice: "It's not like you don't know why I wear these glasses. If I take them off, Xiaolan may recognize me."

Hui Yuanai shook his head, pointed at Conan's watch, "Can't this be exchanged for money?"

"Anyway, the watch has no special effect in this game, so why don't you take it out and sell it."

"This is the only way. Aren't you reluctant to let her rob passers-by?"

Hui Yuanai didn't specify who it was, but the only combat power at the moment was Mao Lilan.

Conan blushed again, unexpectedly Haibara Ai had insight into his inner thoughts.

At Haibara's suggestion, Conan took off his watch, and several other people also contributed their tradable items.

Mao Lilan's phone, Ayumi's hairpin, Mitsuhiko's eye drops, Genta's bouncy ball, Houlang four's perfume, tie, small mirror, hairspray, Haibara's mysterious capsule.

Plus everyone's game badge.

"Hello, Huiyuan."

Looking at the mysterious capsule that Huiyuan Ai took out, Conan couldn't help asking in a low voice, "Is this a temporary antidote for that?"

Hui Yuanai nodded as a matter of course, "Yes."

Conan, who had been unsuccessfully asking for medicine several times before, showed half-moon eyes, and said helplessly: "So you have been carrying it with you all the time."

"Just in case you need it."

After Hui Yuanai finished speaking, he added, "But don't even think about it."

Conan: "."

Several people gathered a bunch of tradable items, and immediately set up a stall at the entrance of the theater.

Thanks to Mao Lilan's luck and the hard work of several others, these small commodities that are quite interesting in this era were sold out quickly.

The product with the highest transaction price, no one expected, turned out to be Hui Yuanai's mysterious capsule.

When promoting the capsules, Haibara Ai said that this is a universal antidote, which was carefully refined by a mysterious alchemist from the East in 49, 10000 days, and the price is [-] yen.

In this era of underdeveloped information, the far east is often associated with occultism.

Coupled with the yellow skin and faces of Conan and others, this statement is even more credible.

In this way, the capsule, which was originally priced at 10000 yen, was rushed to bid by passers-by, and finally sold at a price of 14500 yen.

Including other sold goods, the total is 24750 yen, plus the initial capital of 2755, exactly 27505 yen.

Before the ticket sales stopped, Mao Lilan ran to the ticket office with the money she had just collected and bought nine tickets.

Everyone walked into the theater with fresh tickets.

Only Conan walked behind, standing in a row with Haibara Ai.

"After you get out, you can also sell me an antidote~"

"You set the price."

Faced with Conan's request to push forward, Haibara turned her eyes away for a half moon.

"Dah-"

Entering the theater, because several people entered the theater late, the seats were very far back and out of the way.

However, the purpose of several people is not to enjoy the performance, but to find Holmes.

Qin Zhibo said that Sherlock Holmes might be the head of the troupe or something, and after the performance, he could sneak into the backstage from the auditorium to have a look.

Just as Conan was thinking, the performance officially began.

It starts with a corny comedy of misplaced identities.

The leading actor plays two identical twins who have never met, but are tricked by a series of coincidences into betrothing a woman together.

And this lady also thought that she had made a marriage contract with the same man, so many hilarious jokes were made in the middle.

When the heroine appeared on the stage, both Mao Lilan and Conan were shocked.

Mao Lilan pointed at the heroine on the stage and said in surprise, "Isn't that Xinyi's mother?"

Conan: Mom?

The heroine on the stage looks almost the same as Kudo Yukiko, even the voice is very similar.

Conan thought about it carefully, and first ruled out that Yukiko had also entered the game.

Since it is a game designed by my father, it is normal to add the image of my mother as a game character.

And the role of mother may be "The woman".

Conan asked the audience in the front seat, and it really confirmed what he thought.

"The heroine is Irene Adler, you don't even know that, are you still watching the show?"

Knowing that the identity of "Yukiko" is Irene Adler, Conan really can't laugh or cry.

Now that Irene is in this theater, it is more likely that Holmes is also in this theater.

And Holmes most likely is.
The comedy performance of the first act is over, interspersed with some band performances and clown rap songs, and then the second act begins.

The second scene tells the story of an orphan girl selling hothouse violets who freezes and starves to death on a snowy night.

Eventually, the girl's grandmother recognized her as the baby taken by robbers ten years ago, but it was too late.

This is a tragedy.

Conan felt okay after watching it, and his emotions were not too turbulent. He just felt that this play was a bit like a remake of "The Little Match Girl".

As a detective, whether it is pain or sorrow, you will never shed tears, and you will not easily believe in tears.

On the contrary, Mao Lilan and the three little ones next to them felt very uncomfortable after watching it. Mao Lilan and Ayumi even wiped the tears from the corners of their eyes with handkerchiefs more than once.

Including Haibara Ai, who is usually very cold, Conan observed quietly, and there was a sparkle in the corner of her eyes.

As for?
Conan, who had his tear ducts sealed, couldn't understand.

At the end of the second scene, the troupe presented some traditional performances in the intermission, including clowns, acrobatics, and actors wearing animal skins pretending to be animals, bears riding bicycles and so on.

After the funny, the performance of the third act began.

This is a historical drama.

The time was 700 years ago, and all the actors in the troupe acted as residents of a seaside fishing village.

One day, they fished and worked as usual.

A huge shape suddenly rose from the distant sea.

The lunatics in the village cheered and announced to the villagers.

"As prophesied, the ancient gods have come!"

"They come from the city of Rilei, from the dark city of Carcosa, and from the plateau of cold!"

"They returned to our world from the places where they slept, waited, and spent a long time of death!"

Next, there are some scattered dramas.

A well-built man, acting as the priest of the gods in ancient Rome, announced that the giants in the sea were monsters and demons that must be destroyed.

In order to fight against the "ancient gods", the ancient Roman emperor announced the construction of the arena, releasing the "forbidden power" in the monk's mouth, in an attempt to create the most powerful fighter.

However, when the gladiator's contest reached its climax, the believers of the "Old Gods" rebelled.

They beat the priest to death with a cross, overthrew the rule of the ancient Roman emperor, and prepared to welcome the coming of the "ancient god".

The saint among the believers began to chant eloquent hymns, summoning those eternal "ancient gods".
Under the magical stage lighting effects, the figures of "ancient gods" flitted above the stage symbolizing the sky.

The Queen of Britain, with her majestic figure and green tentacles.

The Egyptian black venerable, his dark skin reveals an indescribable attraction.

An ancient goat with a huge mass of hoofs under its body.

The father of all snakes, half-snake, half-human covered in scales.

The Yellow Emperor of China, wearing a tattered yellow robe and a pale mask.

When Mao Lilan saw the yellow figure floating across the stage, his pupils dilated instantly, and his body was stiff and unable to move.

It is Him!

It is Him!

In countless New York dreams, that yellow figure was like a nightmare, chasing after me.

Mao Lilan never dreamed that the terrible yellow nightmare could still be seen here.

"what--!"
