Conan's other me

Chapter 128 The Magic Mist City of the Dead Realm ([-])

This is a surprise attack.

Although Xiaolan sometimes didn't react in time because she was frightened, she was more focused at the moment, so she reacted immediately and stopped the opponent.

Thus begins their first encounter in the game.

The surrounding visibility was very low, and Fengyuan didn't have senses that surpassed ordinary people in reality, so after thinking about it, he decided to stay here and take precautions to prevent other enemies from appearing.

Fortunately, his worries were unnecessary.

The battle was soon over.

Although Xiao Lamb was weaker than in reality, her karate level and combat experience were still there. After a short fight, she kicked the opponent away.

After the man fell to the ground, he lay still and did not move. Conan hurried up to check.

It's just a skinny bum who seems to have lost his mind from excessive hunger.Aside from the fighting power he showed just now, there is nothing strange about him.

Under Conan's gaze, the homeless man in front of him gradually dissipated into the air while he was still breathing.

"Sister Xiaolan, are you okay?" Fengyuan noticed that Xiaolan rubbed her left arm with her right hand.

"Xiaolan, you're injured!" Sonoko also yelled worriedly, and Conan ran back quickly.

"It's okay, it will be fine in a while. It's just that his strength is much stronger than I imagined."

She forgot for a moment that she was weak now, and she was a little careless.The other party looked very pitiful, because she was worried about hurting the other party, she withdrew her strength when she first came into contact with her. As a result, the other party was not only very strong, but also indomitable.

"It's okay! You can't even lift your hands..."

"It's not that exaggerated, Yuanzi! It's just a little numb, and it will recover after a while..."

But even if Xiaolan was fine, it made them realize that the game was more difficult than expected.After all, under normal circumstances, that kind of role Xiaolan can solve with just one kick.

And according to the understanding of Mitsuhiko and others, what happened just now should be regarded as a tutorial for beginners.

"By the way, Kaedehara," Conan suddenly remembered, "You said before that this command spell can help the battle, right?"

"If the doctor hasn't changed, it should be like this."

Fengyuan is not very sure, "I just don't know how to use it yet."

They don't have a so-called game board, so they can't issue commands like in normal games.And Xiaolan is really fine, she will recover after a while, so using Command Seals is a waste.

But thinking about giving it a try, after discussing with senior game players Mitsuhiko, Genta, and Ayumi, Kaedehara suggested that Conan try again according to the steps of the previous summoning.

Conan is good at what he does.

Under the curious eyes of everyone, Conan pressed the index finger of his left hand on the command spell on the back of his right hand.

The command spell lit up slightly again, but unlike before, it didn't just light up once and then dimmed, but stayed on slightly, and one of the tridents seemed to be flowing with bright red water, moving from the wrist to the finger. flow in the pointed direction.

Conan let go, and the Command Seal returned to its original state.

"It doesn't seem to work."

"No, Conan, I think it should be like this..."

While talking, Ayumi followed Conan's actions just now, and then slid her fingers along the direction of the water flow.

The instant the action was completed, the Command Seal lit up for a moment, then dimmed, but the trident turned into a two-pronged spear.

Fengyuan looked at Genta and Mitsuhiko.

"I don't seem to be hungry anymore..."

"..."

Ayumi was a little embarrassed, the Command Seal obviously had a limit on how many times it could be used, and she wasted one.

Jiang Shouhuang next to him also wanted to cry but had no tears. He also tried it just now.

Fortunately, knowing how to use it, Conan also used the Command Spell under Ayumi's patient guidance.As one of the traces completely disappeared, Xiaolan's arm instantly returned to normal.

"so amazing…"

"I see!" Mitsuhiko said, "This is like the healing spell in the previous game, but it seems that there are only three chances..."

"Besides, I also know how to get experience points." Fengyuan said, "When that person disappeared just now, I felt that my body and senses became stronger."

"I have this feeling too." Xiaolan agreed.

"Really?" Yuantai moved his body, showing a surprised expression, "Then I should be too?"

"Speaking of which, the doctor's game seems to have a similar setting," Mitsuhiko thought for a while, "experience is gained by forming a team to defeat enemies and complete events, and everyone present can gain experience... but it must be within a certain range. ..."

"Playing games is also very useful."

"I didn't expect that you little devils could come in handy." It was obviously Yuanzi who said this.

"Hey, over there," Zhu Xingxiu, who had been following them, interrupted the conversation, "How long are we going to stay here?"

It was obviously not an option to stay here all the time, so everyone continued to walk.

Yuantai and others, who often play games, seem to have become team leaders. According to Mitsuhiko's analysis, since they met the "novice tutorial" here, it means that they are on the right path, and if they continue walking, they may encounter gamers. main line.

Moving forward along the road, since the lights in the houses on both sides were turned off, the environment was so familiar that they felt as if they were spinning in circles.

"so tired."

"I've only been walking for a while, Yuanzi."

"But it looks weird here," Sonoko said, "You guys have been silent..."

The few passers-by on the road were in a hurry, as if they didn't want to stay on the street, and even when they talked with their fellow travelers, they were whispering.

"It's not so much a city of dense fog, but a city of mysteries." Hui Yuanai took a few glances and commented.

"City of dense fog?" Bu Mei wondered.

"Yeah." Conan's science popularization soul was burning, "London in this era is also called the city of fog, and in English it is called 'The Smoke'.

This is because of the fog in London.It is not just a clean substance formed by the condensation of water vapor, but the soot produced by burning coal and oil, which combines with fog to produce smog. "

"It turns out that smog exists in this era..."

"Not only that," Hui Yuanai said, "Don't you think there is a strange smell in the air?"

There was a faint smell of stench and decay in the original streets and alleys, but it can no longer be smelled here, but there is still an indescribable smell in the air.

Feng Yuan agreed. .

"Yes," Conan nodded, "but I can't tell what it is..."

"So there's something that you little brat doesn't know." Sonoko narrowed his eyes and looked at Conan. "I thought you knew everything just now with the look of a stinking fart."

"I'm just a kid, I just heard it from TV programs..."

"Hey, which way should we go next?" Zhu Xingxiu interrupted the conversation again impatiently, "There is a fork in the road ahead."

"Huh?" Mitsuhiko was stunned for a moment, "If we follow the general game settings, we should trigger new events..."

Suddenly, piercing female screams came.

"Yes, like this..." Mitsuhiko continued.

Conan's face changed suddenly, and before Mitsuhiko finished speaking, he had already rushed towards the direction of the sound.

Fengyuan did not follow Conan like Conan, but chased Conan with a large army.

The location where the voice came from was the deep alley on the left side of the crowd. They made a few turns around without crossing the fork, and soon came to the place where the incident happened.

Conan was standing there, looking towards the end of the road with a serious face.

"It's too dangerous, Conan..."

"That's right, Conan, you are too annoying." Yuan Tai said sternly, and Conan couldn't help but roll his eyes.

"Also, if something happens to you, Elder Sister Xiaolan will probably also be out together." Fengyuan said.

"I know. Really, the game doesn't directly explain all the settings, but we have to reason by ourselves," Conan couldn't help complaining, "But now is not the time to talk about this..."

He looked at the nearby ground.

A young woman was lying on the ground, her eyes were wide open, and she had obviously lost her vitality.

Unlike the enemies who were defeated before, she did not dissipate directly after "death", but stayed on the ground.

The appearance of the corpse was as real as it was, and so was the smell in the air, which made Zhu Xingxiushu's followers retch, but he himself looked at the scene in front of him brightly.

Xiaolan, Yuanzi and the Detective Boys were used to this kind of scene, and they didn't feel uncomfortable.But Xiaolan still keeps a little distance with the children.

Fengyuan and Conan checked the condition of the corpse together.

Judging from the traces on the corpse, the murderer obviously intended to disembowel the deceased, but was interrupted by Conan who was running and shouting only halfway through.

The murderer's original plan was probably to let the woman watch her abdomen being cut open with her own eyes, and then die in pain.Now, the dead man was stabbed directly in the throat, which became the final fatal wound.

And due to the struggle when being disemboweled, the disemboweled abdomen of the deceased was a bit messy.

"It's really cruel," Conan couldn't help but said to Fengbara after thinking about it, "The murderer probably has a strong hatred for the dead..."

"If this is the main plot, then this may be an important character," Fengyuan said, "a hundred years ago in London, young women, the dead were disemboweled..."

"Jack the Ripper!?"

Following Fengyuan's list, Conan immediately thought of it.

"Jack the Ripper?" Yuanta repeated curiously.

"That was the murderer who brutally murdered many women in succession in the Whitechapel area of ​​East London in 1888. His code name points out his consistent killing methods." Hui Yuanai explained, "So, this is our main line Task?"

"It's really like my dad's style..."

Conan complained to Fengyuan, and then saw Fengyuan's attention was elsewhere, followed his gaze, and Conan also stared slightly.

The screams just now could be heard even across the street, and obviously the residents and pedestrians next to them could also hear them.The buildings on both sides are residential buildings, with a few lights on them, but the weird thing is that those people just watched but didn't speak.

There were also some passers-by around them, but they just watched from a distance, and they were also silent, making one's scalp tingle.

"What's going on with these people..."

Also aware of this scene, Yuanzi couldn't help hugging Xiaolan's arm and lowered his voice, as if he was afraid of disturbing those people.

Xiaolan shook her head nervously.

She is not very courageous, especially when it comes to weird things.

Haibara Ai took Ayumi and the others closer to Fengyuan and Conan.In her opinion, even a corpse in a miserable state is much more reassuring than that group of people.

"Get out, get out!"

At this time, someone who could speak finally rushed over, and the crowd silently moved out of the way.

Feng Yuan breathed a sigh of relief.

They were two scouts from Scotland Yard.
