Ke Xue: This police officer is too martial

Chapter 278: Game can only be played for two hours a day
As soon as Sonoko finished speaking, Xiaolan, Conan and others beside her also looked at Makino.

Judging from what "Noah's Ark" just said, if no one can pass the game, the brains of all of them will be destroyed by the electromagnetic waves emitted by Noah's Ark.

Conan looked around at the "children" around him, his face filled with a mixture of solemnity and helplessness.

Even though this was a gaming world, he knew that he could not place his hopes of survival on these so-called "second and third generation" children.

The next moment, he, like Sonoko and the others, turned his attention to Makino.

Although he didn't know whether Officer Makino was good at playing games, since the fifth game was a reasoning game, as long as he and Officer Makino were there, they would definitely be able to pass it!

Fortunately, Officer Makino also joined them in this game, otherwise it would be troublesome...

Thinking of this, Conan also said: "Officer Makino, then let's choose the fifth world...London in the old days!"

Under the gaze of the crowd, Makino smiled and shook his head: "It's not easy to play such a game, and we must enjoy the charm of this 'game world' next.

Don’t think too much, just choose the game you are interested in and enjoy it. Just choose the game you are most interested in, and you can play other games later~”

At this point, Makino looked down at Conan and the three members of the Junior Detective Team with a serious expression: "The 'old London' that Conan just mentioned is the detective world where Sherlock Holmes lives.

"Everyone in the Junior Detective Team, it's time for you to show your skills! You need to catch the legendary serial killer, Jack the Ripper!"

--"yes!!!"

After hearing what Makino said, Mitsuhiko and the other two instantly felt a strange sense of "mission".

After Conan looked at them with a questioning look in his eyes, the three of them raised their hands in unison and saluted Makino, their eyes full of passion.

Makino returned the greetings to the three people with a serious look on his face, and a smile flashed across his lips.

Conan: "???"

Seeing this scene, relaxed smiles appeared on Sonoko and Xiaolan's faces again, and the worries and concerns in their hearts were swept away.

Since Makino had told them to relax and enjoy the game, they were naturally prepared to do so.

The next second, Sonoko and Xiaolan looked up at the game entrances around them and started discussing with great interest:
"Xiaolan, which game world do you want to choose?"

"Let me think about it... I'm quite interested in that pirate world~"

"What a coincidence! Me too. Actually, I've always wanted to try being a pirate! Xiaolan, why don't we go pirate together?"

"Okay~"

"..."

Just as Sonoko and Xiaolan were discussing how to become the greatest female pirate duo in history, Conan quietly walked up to Makino and frowned, "Officer Makino, is this really okay? I don't think 'Noah's Ark' just wants to scare us..."

Makino nodded and said, "Yes, I actually think he is serious. So... I'll leave everything up to you, Conan. Aren't you a loyal fan of Sherlock Holmes? Please catch Jack the Ripper and let everyone return to the real world safely!"

Conan: "?"

After a moment of silence, Conan looked up at Makino and frowned, "Wait a minute, what about you?!"

Makino turned his head and looked at the virtual screen showing the "Ancient Roman Colosseum" with a look of anticipation in his eyes: "Please call me Makino Spartacus!"

Conan: “???????”

Without waiting for Conan to speak again, Mitsuhiko and the other two walked up to Conan and urged him, "Conan, what are you still dawdling about here? Officer Makino is right. This is a great opportunity for our Junior Detective Team to show our skills! We must catch the criminal called Jack the Ripper and save everyone!"

——“Oh my!!” Genta and Ayumi raised their fists.

Mitsuhiko and the other two looked at each other, nodded seriously, and almost at the same time looked at Conan who had no expression on his face: "Conan, don't forget that you are also a member of the Junior Detective Team! Come on, let's all give each other a high five!"

Conan: "..."

After a moment's silence, Conan looked at Makino with an almost pleading look.

At this moment, he really wanted Makino to go with him to the old London.

It wasn't for any great reason like "saving everyone", but he really didn't want to enter the same game with these three cute little friends.

He suddenly felt a little tired...

Soon after, everyone present had basically chosen the game they wanted to participate in, and each walked to the entrance of the game stage of their choice.

Sonoko and Xiaolan also waved goodbye to Makino and Conan and walked to the passage of the pirate game.

Conan, with lifeless eyes, was dragged by Mitsuhiko and the other two to the gate of old London.

Unlike the other four routes, the number of children on the Colosseum route chosen by Makino is pitifully small, even fewer than the old London chosen by Conan and his friends.

But this is normal. After all, Noah's Ark has just said that this game is closely related to their lives.

Except for a few "strange" children who are interested in ancient Rome or battles, normal children will naturally feel scared after hearing the word "Ghost Warrior" and give up the idea of ​​choosing this game stage.

Before entering the door, the boy named Moroboshi Hideki who he had met before turned his head and looked at Makino, with an indescribable emotion flashing in his eyes.

Just as Hideki Moroboshi was about to look away and walk into the game gate of "Old London" with Shinichi Kudo and others who were obviously high school students but pitifully small.

As if unintentionally, Makino turned his head and met his gaze, with an ambiguous smile on the corner of his mouth.

Hideki Moroboshi: “!!!”

Seeing this, Hideki Moroboshi frowned instantly and stood there in a daze for a moment.

At this moment, a friend beside him saw him still standing there in a daze and reminded him, "Zhu Xing? Let's go in quickly."

"Ah... I'll be right there." Hideki Moroboshi nodded with a smile, then slowly walked towards the game entrance with his friends.

Before entering the entrance, he turned his head again to look in the direction where Muye left, frowning: "Strange..."

……

Inside the gaming tunnel of the ancient Roman Colosseum.

At the end of the dim corridor, a "door of light" slowly appeared.

After stepping into the warm and bright door, the scene in front of me changed instantly.

The dark corridor disappeared completely, replaced by a huge circular arena surrounded by sunlight and the cheers of the audience.

When the "player" Makino appeared, there was an immediate burst of passionate shouts and cheers at the scene.

Makino glanced around, but didn't see the four children who had just walked in front of him: "Oh? It looks like a stand-alone game?"

——“Bang, crack, bang…bang!”

A moment later, the iron gate opposite Makino slowly rose amid the sound of iron chains hitting and rubbing against each other.

There are several rectangular stone platforms inside the iron gate, on which countless weapons and equipment of different sizes and types are neatly placed.

——[Dagger, long sword, trident, spear, dual-wielding daggers, scimitar, iron pestle, heavy hammer...]

[Rectangular shield, long shield, heavy shield, fish-shaped helmet, feathered helmet, smooth dome helmet, light armor, heavy armor...]

Looking at the rather numerous weapons and equipment in front of him, Makino smiled: "Although the heavy knight is also very good, it seems that the 'berserker style' is more interesting~"

After putting on light armor and picking up a long sword that was very easy to wield, Makino suddenly found something like a "blood bar" in his sight.

Before he could study the health bar that had just appeared, the cheers in the arena suddenly faded away. A few seconds later, the iron gate opposite suddenly opened, and a thin man holding two short knives slowly walked out of the iron gate and walked straight to the center of the venue.

After walking to the center of the venue, the man raised the two swords in his hands, looked up to the sky and roared: "Ave, Imperator, morituri te salutant!!!"

Before Makino could think carefully about the meaning of this Latin sentence, the language in the game was suddenly changed.

——"Noble one! Those who are going to die pay tribute to you!!!"

The next moment, the cheering sounds in the field, which had originally subsided a lot, instantly returned to their original volume and gradually became louder and louder.

——"Blood Blade Titus! Blood Blade Titus!!..."

In addition to the gladiators standing in the arena, the language of the people on the scene was also converted.

The sudden change of language made Makino feel an inexplicable sense of disconnection.

But apart from that, the touch, hearing and other parts of the game are all very realistic, as if they were really in the ancient Roman arena.

Especially the sense of smell. If you don’t experience it carefully, it is basically not much different from the real world.

In addition to the smell of air and soil, you can also faintly smell the smell of blood similar to "rust".

For a moment, Makino had a wonderful feeling that he was really in the ancient Roman Colosseum, and even felt the boiling blood in his heart for the first time in a long time.

After a moment, Makino clenched the long sword in his hand and slowly walked towards the Blood Blade Titus in the center of the venue, with a slight smile on his face: "Malacca!"

……

On the other side, London is the city of thick fog.

The streets were dark, the street lights were dim, and the scene was foggy everywhere.

Mitsuhiko and the other two looked at their surroundings with frowns on their faces:

"Conan, the air here is so dirty!"

"Yes, and the air here seems to have a very unpleasant smell..."

Moroboshi Hideki and two other children who had chosen the same game as Conan and the others also spoke up:
"Is this London a hundred years ago? It looks so weird!"

"Yes, it's completely different from the London our family visited last time!"

After hearing everyone's complaints, Conan smiled and explained: "The fog in London is not just a clean substance condensed from water vapor, but soot produced by burning coal and oil~"

Before Conan could continue explaining, a shrill female scream suddenly came.

——“Ahhh!!!”

After hearing this voice, Conan's expression changed instantly.

Without waiting for Mitsuhiko and the others to react to the current situation, Conan rushed directly towards the direction where the scream came from.

After turning two corners, a suspicious man wearing a top hat and a black cloak appeared in front of Conan.

After hearing Conan running, the man instantly stood up and ran in another direction.

Conan quickly squatted down, reached out and turned the button of his powerful sneakers, then stood up and kicked the empty tin can not far away with all his strength: "Don't even think about escaping!"

The moment he kicked the tin can, a smile flashed in Conan's eyes.

Fortunately, there happened to be an empty tin can on the ground.

Although this kick was rather sudden, both the timing and the angle were perfect!

Although I don't want to end the game so early, since I have encountered this guy who looks like "Jack the Ripper", then...

The next second, the scene that Conan expected "the can hitting the suspicious man on the back of the head" did not appear.

The tin can that was supposed to fly towards the back of the suspicious man's head fell from mid-air to the ground not far from Conan.

Before Conan could think more, a pain as if it was rushing straight to the top of his head instantly occupied his brain.

Conan held up his right foot and said in pain, "Ah! It hurts... It hurts so much!!!"

At this time, Ayumi, who happened to arrive, looked at Conan's painful expression and asked with concern: "What's wrong, Conan, are you okay?!"

Mitsuhiko and others beside Ayumi also looked at Conan in confusion.

After noticing everyone's gaze, Conan forced himself to endure the severe pain from his feet and smiled bitterly: "Don't worry, I'm fine..."

After briefly replying to Ayumi, Conan looked down at the shoes on his feet and the watch on his wrist, frowned, and thought to himself: "It seems that Dr. Agasa's inventions can't be used in this game world. This is a bit troublesome..."

Ever since his body became smaller, he usually uses the props made for him by Dr. Agasa when catching criminals. At the very least, he will use the anesthetic watch to make Uncle Mori his mouthpiece.

After such a long period of familiarity, these props have almost become one with him.

However, in the game world, these props are of no use at all...

Although this is normal, this feeling of being forcibly "weakened" still makes Conan feel a little uncomfortable.

At this moment, a passerby quickly ran to the woman lying on the ground, took a quick look at her, and immediately shouted, "Jack the Ripper appears again!!"

After hearing the man's voice, the windows of nearby residential buildings opened one after another, and countless people poked their heads out.

Several brave citizens walked out of the residential building and surrounded the woman lying on the ground.

Soon after, two policemen who were patrolling nearby pushed aside the crowd and stepped forward to check the victim on the ground.

After carefully examining the victim's manner of death, one of the older policemen immediately turned to the young policeman behind him and said, "It is indeed Jack the Ripper! Contact Inspector Lestrade immediately!"

"Yes!" The young policeman nodded immediately.

This scene was seen completely by Conan and others who were observing in a corner not far away.

In order to avoid any complications, Conan and others immediately hid.

Just as Conan was thinking about the special character "Inspector Lestrade", a voice like a "voice-over" suddenly sounded in the minds of Conan and others.

——"Makino, Conan, can you hear me?"

After hearing this familiar voice, Conan's eyes widened immediately: "Uncle... Yusaku, I heard it!"

——"Listen carefully. In this level, you will be eliminated if you receive moderate injuries or are caught by the police. You are currently near the Eastview White Church. Go find a character who can help you.

Don't be nervous, just listen to Makino's instructions. As long as he is there, you will definitely pass the level smoothly~"

Hearing this, Conan twitched his lips helplessly: "Uncle Yusaku, Officer Makino is not with us..."

——"What did you say? Makino didn't choose this game?! Then Conan, listen carefully, the final scene of the game requires...sizzle..."

Before Kudo Yusaku could finish his words, they turned into a harsh sound wave.

——“Boom boom boom!”

Conan was just about to ask what Kudo Yusaku had just said outside the game when the ground beneath their feet suddenly collapsed.
