Conan's grammatical investigator

Chapter 786
"Get ready to catch the 'demon'."

Demon?
Conan glanced at Holmes meaningfully, but did not speak.

Holmes exchanged glances with Watson upstairs, and Watson raised the revolver in his hand and aimed it at the crouching Jack the Ripper.

Pia——

A bullet went to Jack the Ripper's head.

However, just when the bullet was about to hit the head, Jack the Ripper's body suddenly flashed a strange rhythm.

This rhythm almost distorted the surrounding air, and the bullets also passed by.

Conan looked surprised, this.
In Conan's cognition, Jack the Ripper should also be controlled by Noah's Ark.

As long as Noah's Ark wants to pass the game, Jack the Ripper cannot escape this bullet.

What exactly is going on?

Does Noah's Ark really not want us to pass the game?

Conan looked at Holmes beside him in surprise.

But Holmes didn't care about Conan's feelings, and stared sternly at Jack the Ripper on the street.

Suddenly, Holmes waved his hand.

The people on the roof on both sides saw the gesture and put down the temporarily woven net.

Jack the Ripper didn't dodge this time, the net that fell from the sky was unbiased and just caught on that figure.

"Yeah! It worked!"

"we won!"

The three little ones, who couldn't help much and could only observe by the window, immediately shouted excitedly.

But Jack the Ripper didn't panic.

He stood up slowly in the net, with the terrified and distorted face of the murdered woman at his feet.

Conan hadn't seen Jack the Ripper's face until now.

There are large unspeakable shadows on the dry face, making it difficult to distinguish the appearance and gender.

All that's visible are the sharp jaws and ears, and the twinkle in the eyes.

Excluding the possibility of cross-dressing, this is almost an inhuman existence.

He's more of an urban legend.

Just like the rip girls who were popular in Japan a few years ago.

And 50 years before the background of Sherlock Holmes, there was a similar urban legend called "Spring Heeled Jack" in London.

It was a demon with strange strength on its legs, as if springs were installed.

Legend has it that he has huge ears and nose, flaming red eyes, blue and white flames from his mouth, and metal claws on his fingertips.
The Jack the Ripper in front of him was very similar to that legend.

The difference is that Jack the Ripper's eyes are a ghostly green instead of red.

While Conan was watching Jack the Ripper downstairs, Watson had already aimed at the target and fired again.

Pia——

A shot echoed through the street.

The bullet left a faint trail of air in the air.

But just when the bullet was about to hit, Jack the Ripper's body moved unnaturally.

That was a speed that was almost imperceptible to the naked eye, and when he came to his senses, the trajectory of the bullet had already passed his body.

Conan: w(Д)w
What is this? !
With a net covering your body, can you still hide bullets?
Noah's Ark!Do you want us to pass the customs?
Conan screamed inwardly.

In his eyes, the numerical setting of the boss of this game is too supermodel.

He can even dodge bullets, so who can catch him?
"Everyone come together!"

At this moment, Holmes by the window suddenly cried out.

With an order, people from the troupe rushed out from all directions and rushed towards Jack the Ripper.

These people are armed with various weapons, such as wooden sticks, pitchforks, and tongs. Although simple, they are also capable of causing damage.

Dozens of people rushed in front of Jack the Ripper angrily, and attacked Jack the Ripper who was caught in the net.

But a strange scene happened.

Faced with almost 360° attacks with no dead ends, Jack the Ripper's body was extremely flexible, and all the attacks were unexpectedly dodged.

That is a flexible dodge action that only appears in science fiction movies.

The speed was so fast that Jack the Ripper's body produced dozens of afterimages on the spot.

These afterimages are like ghosts and ghosts. Dozens of pairs of ghostly eyes accompany Jack's upper body, flickering like the unfixed end of a spring.

At first glance, it looks like a weird dance.

No matter whether the besiegers slashed horizontally, slashed vertically, or stabbed him, none of their attacks could touch him in the slightest.

Suddenly, his palm pierced through the net and stabbed into the chest of a troupe member.

Ripper!
That indescribable sharp moment pierced the troupe's chest.

puff-

Blood is overflowing!

The troupe member whose chest was pierced by him stared in disbelief, with blood left at the corner of his mouth.

Conan also looked at the monster in front of him incredulously, and was greatly shocked in his heart.

Piercing a human chest with bare hands.
Is this still Jack the Ripper in history!
At this moment, the body of the troupe member who had been disemboweled suddenly convulsed violently, shaking unscientifically like an electric shock.

Immediately, a stream of green slime gushed out from the troupe's chest.

It replaced blood, as if it had life, rolling and covering the entire body of the troupe members, like a green humanoid slime.

After a few seconds, the green slime seeps into the bodies of the troupe members.

But the troupe member also changed his appearance.

He turned into Jack the Ripper!

The original Jack the Ripper had his palms back, and the new Jack the Ripper had his chest intact.

Now, there are two identical Jack the Rippers on the streets.

One is inside the net and one is outside the net.

By the upstairs window, Conan's eyes widened in disbelief, watching what happened downstairs.

what is happening?
Jack the Ripper made another version of himself?
Is this already designed in the game?
Conan immediately turned his head to look at Holmes next to him.

However, Holmes also had some surprise in his eyes, and seemed to think that the current situation was unexpected.

Just when everyone was surprised, Jack the Ripper outside the net suddenly moved.

He immediately grabbed a stunned troupe member, grabbed his shoulder with one hand, and pierced his chest again with the other.

puff-

Green mucus rolled and covered the whole body.

After a while, another Jack the Ripper was created.

"It has the ability to replicate itself!"

"Run!"

Holmes roared downstairs.

The theater troupe downstairs responded and fled immediately.

But now there were already two Jack the Rippers out of the net, and they started killing immediately.

Two more troupe members were caught, and the same steps were repeated, and two brand new Jack the Rippers were born.

Four
Eight
In order to trap Jack the Ripper, several escape routes in the surrounding alleys were blocked in advance.

But right now, this behavior is self-defeating, and even the troupe members cannot escape.

The street downstairs instantly turned into a purgatory on earth.

All kinds of cries and screams sounded like a massacre was going on.

In fact, no one was massacred.

They are simply deprived of their own existence and turned into another image.

And their existence has also been given a new meaning.

Irene Adler downstairs was running away towards the street, when a Jack the Ripper chased after him like a ghost.

"what!"

Irene Adler screamed, and Jack the Ripper grabbed her shoulders tightly.

The other hand was raised high, about to stab Irene in the chest,

Seeing this scene, Mao Lilan jumped over the window and jumped down from the height of the third floor.

"Xiao Lan!"

When Conan saw the impulsive Mao Lilan, he was instantly distraught.

But just as he was about to jump down, he was hugged by Holmes next to him.

"No! You will die if you go down now!"

Conan could only watch Mao Lilan jump downstairs and rush towards Irene Adler.

Just when Jack the Ripper was about to stab, Mao Lilan arrived in time.

"Roar--!"

A roundabout kick went straight to Jack the Ripper's face, causing Jack the Ripper to stagger and take a few steps back.

Mao Lilan quickly hugged Irene Adler, whose legs were weak, and asked, "Are you okay?"

"No, nothing."

Irene Adler's expression was more bewildered, she didn't understand why this girl helped her so much.

Mao Lilan picked up Irene Adler and looked around.

At this time, all members of the troupe have been assimilated into Jack the Ripper.

On the entire street, there were only two different figures, Mao Lilan and Irene Adler.

Dozens of Jack the Ripper are scattered and approaching slowly. His slender figure is covered with a gray cloak, like a ghost.

There was a ghostly green light in those eyes, like will-o'-the-wisps swimming in the dark street.

Mao Lilan protected Irene Adler behind her back with one hand, and then put on a karate pose, ready to fight the enemy.

This scene is very touching.

If Yukiko Kudo saw it, she would definitely be moved to tears.

But right now, Conan's brain can't make any good ideas about the future relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

All he could think about was Xiaolan's safety.

"Xiao Lan!"

"Run!"

"That's just a game character, run away!"

Conan's brain couldn't imagine the scene where Mao Lilan was assimilated by Jack the Ripper.

He shouted hoarsely, but he couldn't recall Mao Lilan's determination to protect Kudo's mother.

It's not just about guarding the image of Kudo's old mother.

And the dream of Sherlock Holmes is also the dream of Shinichi Kudo.
In short, Mao Lilan, like Conan, cannot completely regard the game as a game.

Embedding the faces of yourself and your loved ones on the game characters should be Yusaku Kudo's biggest failure.

The more realistic a game is, the more it should be differentiated from reality.

Reality and virtuality should have a clear dividing line and should not be confused.

The three little ones were also lying by the window, watching Mao Lilan deal with dozens of Jack the Ripper at the same time with teary eyes.

"woooo~"

"Sister Xiaolan~"

Hui Yuanai stood by the window, looking downstairs, with a slightly moved expression.

silly woman.
Immediately, Hui Yuanai looked up at the sky.

At some point, the bright white moon in the sky was covered with blood.

That layer of faint blood mist made the atmosphere of the whole world even more strange.

Ever since seeing the blood moon in the stage play, Huiyuan Ai has always been involuntarily concerned about the moon in this game world.

This may symbolize something.

It shouldn't have happened by accident.
On the street, a Jack the Ripper took the lead in attacking, piercing Mao Lilan's chest with his sharp palm.

Mao Lilan immediately responded with karate, swung his upper arm to push away the thrust of his palm, and then threw a straight punch.

However, a strange scene appeared again, and the upper body of Jack the Ripper dodged instantly.

An afterimage of Jack just made Mao Lilan's attack pass by.

Mao Lilan's eyes were startled, but after seeing the situation just now, she was not too shocked now, and kicked directly.

"what!"

A white leg swept across, but Jack the Ripper went against the rules again, jumping three feet high on the spot.

This not only dodged the attack, but also directly jumped over Mao Lilan, which happened to land next to Irene Adler.

"Miss Irene!" Mao Lilan shouted.

Irene Adler turned around and was about to run away, but Jack the Ripper directly grabbed her wrist and pulled her back easily.

"Ah~!"

As expected of a soprano, even the voice of screaming has a natural vibrato.

A ghostly smile appeared on Jack the Ripper's face, and he slowly raised his palm, about to stab into Irene Adler's chest.

At this moment, the entire ground and nearby buildings suddenly felt trembling.

bang
A faint humming came from beneath his feet.

This voice is not dull, short and chaotic, and can feel a clear direction, it is coming here.

Everyone, including Jack the Ripper, was unconsciously attracted by the abnormal sound, and looked sideways at the distant street for no apparent reason.

call-

Suddenly there was the whining of horses from one side of the street.

Conan and others upstairs were the first to see clearly that it was the carriage.

This is a huge carriage convoy. Looking around, there are at least dozens of dark carriages, each of which has ten horses tied in front to provide traction.

Hundreds of fine horses are galloping on the street, which is naturally majestic, like a giant dragon in the dark night.

On the leading carriage was a figure in a black cloak.

The black cloak unfolded against the wind, like Batman.

"drive!"

"drive!"

The man kept waving the reins, and all the horses galloped forward.

But in fact, there were no drivers on the dozens of carriages behind, but all the horses still only obeyed the command of the man in front.

The reason is simple, this man has purchased the ownership of these horses.

No matter how many horses there are at the same time, they only obey his command, regardless of whether there is a coachman or not.

In the carriage behind the horses were the cries of countless women.

"Woo~ William, save me!"

"Put me down! Charles, kill the bastard!"

"John~my man!"

"Woooo-"

"Ugh-"

There are six women tied in each carriage, a total of eighty carriages, and a total of 480 women.

These women have one thing in common, they are all married men.

Their husbands were running behind the carriage, panting and still cursing.

"Oh! My Mary~"

"You rascal, return my Kelly!"

"Son of a bitch! Give my wife back!"

"Curse you, vicious rascal!"

In addition to hundreds of husbands chasing their wives thousands of miles away, there are underground gangsters hired by banks, passers-by who have their wallets robbed, newsboys, and all the police in London.

Led by Sergeant Lestrade, they chased forward in a carriage powered by two horses.

"We'll catch up right away!"

"'Mad Jack' is ahead!"

This team of chasing the murderer for thousands of miles is vast and full of thousands of people, running and galloping on the narrow streets.

Hoofbeats, running, cursing, shouting
It is unstoppable, no less than launching a small ground cry.

The initiator of the ground chime was not Allen.

It was a man named Qin Zhibo.
