Conan's grammatical investigator

Chapter 783 It's a game, seriously, you will lose...

The people in the theater are immersed in the grand atmosphere of the historical drama and intoxicated by the magnificent lighting effects.

Suddenly, a scream broke the harmonious atmosphere.

"what--!"

Conan, who was enjoying the drama, was startled and hurried to the side.

I saw Mao Lilan holding her head in her hands, her body curled up as much as possible, as if she had been greatly frightened, and she seemed to be still resisting a certain existence in her mouth.

"do not want!"

"Don't come here!"

Conan was startled by this sudden situation, and hurried to the side of Mao Lilan.

"Xiaolan! What's wrong with you?"

The three little ones also quickly gathered around and asked concerned: "Sister Xiaolan? What happened?"

"Which guy is bullying sister Xiaolan, we will help you vent your anger!" Yuan Tai waved his fist aggressively.

Hui Yuanai didn't take the initiative to move forward, but instead continued to look at the performance above the stage.

After many rulers appeared in turn, the moonlight rose to the highest point in the background of the sky.

The pale yellow moon turned scarlet jewel-colored in an instant.

That touch of red is breathtaking.

Hui Yuanai's eyes widened slightly.

Mao Lilan's screams disturbed the audience in an area, causing some commotion.

Fortunately, the performance just ended at this time, and the actors bowed to the audience's warm applause.

The curtain fell, the performance was declared over, and the crowd left slowly.

Until then, Mao Lilan's state was better and calm was restored.

However, she held her head with her slender hand, still showing a distressed expression.

Conan looked at the lovely and pitiful Mao Lilan, feeling distressed.

"Sister Xiaolan, are you alright?"

"No." Mao Lilan forced a smirk on his face, "I'm fine, Conan."

Conan: "."

Although it could be seen that she was trying to be brave, Conan really didn't know why Mao Lilan suddenly acted so scared just now.

Could it be the performance just now?

But I saw the same performance myself, and I didn't feel any problem.
At this moment, a person was walking from the direction of the stage, still wearing an acting costume.

Looking up again, the man walking in front had a face that surprised him.

"Dad?"

Conan froze in place, muttering in his mouth.

The man who shocked Conan had the face of Yusaku Kudo. Except for a slight change in the shape of the head, the face shape and facial features were carved out of the same mold.

A man who looked like Yusaku Kudo came over, glanced at Conan suspiciously, and said puzzledly, "I don't think I have that kind of relationship with you, do I?"

Conan realized that this was a character in the game, and quickly interrupted with a smile, "It's okay, I was just talking nonsense."

"Yusaku Kudo" in the game didn't care, turned to Mao Lilan, and introduced himself: "My name is Shirley Foot, and I'm an actor of this troupe."

"I saw you screaming during our performance just now, is there anything dissatisfied with our performance?"

Haibara: Shirley?
Mao Lilan, who was lowering his head, looked up and was also startled by this face.

"Xinyi's father?"

Shirley Foot was puzzled again, "Whose father?"

At this moment, Conan suddenly put on a confident expression, and reasoned: "Whose father is not important, the important thing is that you are Sherlock Holmes?"

Riley Foot froze for a moment, pretending to be confused, "What are you talking about, kid?"

Conan smiled lightly, "Actually, your name is the best hint."

"Before Conan Doyle officially confirmed the name Sherlock Holmes, he gave the name Sherrinford to this famous detective who would become world famous in the future."

"And the Romanized spelling of Sherrinford is Sherry Foot."

As a senior Sherlock Holmes fan, Conan knows Sherlock Holmes's "past life and present life" like the back of his hand.

Not only that, the undeveloped APTX-4869 in the black organization is also named "Sherrinford".

And the most important key, with Yusaku Kudo's narcissism, arranging his own face into the game must not be an insignificant small character.

Especially when Irene Adler had already confirmed that it was Yukiko.

Under Conan's reasoning of breaking the dimension wall, Yusaku Kudo's version of Sherlock Holmes spread his hands.

"There are many ears and eyes here."

"If you don't mind, just go backstage with me and chat."

Conan hesitated for a moment, but looked at his familiar face and nodded in agreement.

Under the leadership of "Kudo Yusaku", a group of people came to the backstage.

Everyone was brought into a room, and "Yusaku Kudo" turned back and locked the door.

"I am indeed the Sherlock Holmes you speak of."

"Excuse me, what can I do for you?"

Conan went straight to the point and said, "Mr. Holmes, do you know Jack the Ripper?"

"Jack the Ripper"

"Kudou Yusaku" raised his chin, pondered, and said, "I have indeed heard of this person."

"As far as I know, he's an 'Old Gods fanatic,' as is his mother."

"In order to pursue the worship of the ancient gods, her mother abandoned him since he was a child, leaving him to fend for himself."

"The miracle is that the young Jack the Ripper not only survived in the poorest and most chaotic East End of London, but also developed a good skill."

"But Jack also has the madness in her mother's blood."

"The series of serial killings he has recently carried out are all aimed at summoning the body of the 'Old God' underground in the East End of London."

"The body of the 'Ancient God'?" Hui Yuanai asked doubtfully.

"Yusaku Kudo" turned his head to look at Haibara Ai, and explained: "All the 'ancient gods' that we humans can see are incarnations, the material bodies and projections that ancient gods use to interact with humans.

The Queen of Britain and the Black Venerable of Egypt are all of this kind.

However, the real body of the 'Old God' is made of substances beyond the mortal world, not affected by the laws of physics, and some of them can even exceed the dimension of the human world.

What Jack the Ripper wants to summon is the real body of the "Old God" lurking underground in the East District. "

Conan: This is called "hearing something".
As soon as Holmes made a move, he knew whether there was one.

These explanations can be called game spoilers, which made Conan's face show a satisfied smile.

Although I didn't understand some of the explanations, but with Sherlock Holmes as a strong teammate standing on my side, how could I lose?
Putting away the excitement in his heart, Conan hurriedly asked him for help.

"Mr. Holmes, I would like you to join us in capturing Jack the Ripper."

"I know where Jack the Ripper is, and once we get there, we can easily catch him!"

According to Qin Zhibo's previous speculation, as long as the player does not trigger the relevant plot, Jack the Ripper will always crawl in that place.

As long as I invite strong foreign aid and catch Jack the Ripper, the game can be cleared!
But just when Conan was full of joy and thought that the game clearance was close at hand, "Yusaku Kudo" shook his head.

"I'm afraid that's unlikely."

"If Jack the Ripper's purpose is to summon the ancient god's body underground in the East End of London, I hope he will do so."

Conan's complexion changed, and he asked in surprise, "What do you mean?"

"Yusaku Kudo" paced towards the low-legged cabinet without leaving any traces, and said solemnly: "The human beings are already insensitive, and they are lingering under the rule of the ancient gods."

"In the face of the humiliating history of being conquered by the ancient gods, people are not ashamed, but enjoy it."

"Looking at the 700-year history, I realized that if we want to change the status quo, pure script creation and performance cannot help the awakening of human self-will."

"Human beings have been lucky enough to survive in this world for a long time, thinking that it is a generous gift from the ruler."

"If Jack the Ripper summons the main body of the Dominator, it will definitely create the biggest and worst bloody incident in the history of London City."

"At that time, people will realize that the ruler does not have a benevolent heart."

"In their eyes, human beings are nothing but meat maggots, not even as maggots are to human beings."

"The so-called 'generosity' does not exist."

"Never"

Conan's eyes widened, and he watched Holmes, who looked like Yusaku Kudo, say these words in disbelief.

He never expected that Holmes would acquiesce in such a thing in order to overthrow the ruler's rule.

Knowing that Jack the Ripper would cause a huge bloodshed, Holmes did not choose to stop it.

What is the difference between this kind of behavior and those evil people?
"You are wrong! Holmes!"

"No matter what the situation, life should not be ignored!"

"Whether it's human or non-human!"

Conan roared as loudly as he could.

In his mind, Sherlock Holmes, who has the courage to dedicate himself to justice, should not have fallen to this point.

But Holmes watched the little figure condescendingly, and was silent for a while.

After a while, he continued, "Do you know what method I used to attract that monster prince?"

"I lied to it that I abducted from the monastery a virgin who had never seen a man, enough to bear its look and touch."

"If that girl existed, it would eat her as much as it sucks on a ripe peach and its juicy flesh."

"Poor girl, there will only be skin and core left in the end, like a walking dead, and the madhouse will become her final destination."

"But in fact, I have seen this kind of thing, and some ugly acts, which are much more terrible than this."

"The price of false peace is higher than imagined."

"In contrast, I think it is a good deal to pay the lives of some walking dead in exchange for the awakening of more people's will."

"Also, do you know why that prince always went to this theater when he was alive?"

"Just read through history and you'll find they don't appreciate human art, so I have every reason to suspect that it thinks as much about Miss Irene as it does about the girl who doesn't exist."

Holmes talked eloquently, the tone was not strong, but every word was powerful.

Everyone present had different faces, including shock, confusion, sadness, and anxiety.
Only Conan's expression was stiff, complex and indescribable.

Those words of Holmes kept whirling in his mind, deafeningly loud.

In this chaotic and dark age, what is justice?
Is it justice not to kill?
难说
Holmes chose to stand up for Irene Adler and kill the monster prince.

There is no doubt that Holmes is not a purely rational reasoning machine.

In his original world, he also said, "If I had been in love and my beloved woman had suffered this misfortune, I might have done it like this lawless lion hunter."

Conan asked himself, if there was a monster staring at Mao Lilan, he would do the same.

But for the so-called awakening of the will, at least a quarter of the population of London must be sacrificed.
If the will is awakened, human beings can overthrow the ruler's rule, and may save more innocent people in the endless years to come.

But what if it fails?
or.
This is a train puzzle.

Conan's heart is very contradictory, and he doesn't know how to choose.

While Conan was hesitating, Holmes had quietly picked up a gas mask from the low cabinet and put it on his face.

Under the mask, came Holmes' vague voice.

"I have no enmity with you."

"But for the good of society, I can only limit your freedom and wait for it to end."

Before Conan could reply, Holmes took out two egg-shaped devices out of nowhere and threw them at Conan and the others.

Within a second, smoke erupted from the device and quickly filled the entire room.

This kind of smoke contains some kind of drowsy ingredients, and the drowsiness will increase immediately after smelling it.

"Cover your mouth and nose!"

Conan yelled, and quickly covered it with his sleeve.

Others followed suit.

But even so, they will inhale a small amount of sleep gas, and it is only a matter of time before they lose consciousness.

Conan squinted his eyes slightly in the smoke, and his thoughts were spinning rapidly in sleepiness, trying to find a way to escape.

But Holmes may have guessed that the negotiation would collapse before entering the door, so he chose this room without windows in advance and locked the door.

Now, Holmes himself was wearing a gas mask and guarding the door.

That's right, the opponent is Sherlock Holmes, how could he escape?

Conan's mouth curled into a wry smile.

He never expected that he would be eliminated by the person he admired the most.

If I knew it earlier, I would have followed Qin Zhibo's warning.
This situation reminded Conan of Qin Zhibo's warning when he was in the palace.

It's just a game.

The game does not need to be mixed with personal feelings
The game, seriously, you lose.

Conan believed that Holmes was a good man precisely because of his personal feelings. He didn't report him directly, and tried to solve the case together with Holmes.

Perhaps Holmes was really a good man.

But for Conan and others who aim to clear the game, Holmes is the villain.

Now I can only rely on you, Qin.
Conan's will gradually weakened, and the smile on the corner of his mouth was more like a self-mockery.

Under his wise leadership, the Group of Nine is about to be wiped out.

But at this moment, there was a sudden gunshot outside the door.

Pia——

Stimulated by the sound, Conan raised his spirits and opened his eyes slightly.

Immediately afterwards, there were several more gunshots, which made the people in the room feel bad.

At the door of the room, Holmes, wearing a gas mask, approached the door and asked the people outside what happened.

The people outside the door yelled.

"It's Sheriff Lestrade!"

"They're storming the theater with a huge crowd!"
