Rebirth from Conan

Chapter 133 Jack the Ripper
The halo gradually dissipated before my eyes.

When Xia He walked through the stone gate, he appeared on the streets of London.

Unlike the London he visited during his study abroad period, London at this moment was shrouded in thick fog. The quaint buildings and dilapidated brick walls all showed the age of this place.

"Is this the scene a hundred years ago?" Xia He looked around with curiosity.

In addition to Xia and himself, those who entered the last game with him included Sonoko, the five members of the Junior Detective Team, and the four little kids who were scared by him when they were playing football at the banquet before.

"Why did you follow me?" Yuan Tai looked at the four kids who were even more naughty than him with dissatisfaction.

The kid in the red suit named Moroboshi Hideki retorted, "No way, is this your territory?"

"That's right, we can go to any game we want, why do you have to care?"

"A little bit!"

Behind Hideki Moroboshi, three "little followers" echoed his words.

Yuantai: "."

He was so angry, but he couldn't do anything. After all, his mother had taught him to be a civilized child.

As for those four naughty kids, they didn't come here on purpose to provoke Yuanta and the others. Instead, they felt that Xia He and Yuan Zi, as the only two "high school students" among the fifty players, had a much higher chance of successfully passing the level than the rest of the kids.

That's why they decided to follow closely behind the two of them.

What's more, the scene of Xia He smashing the football with one punch was too shocking to their eyes.

Although I was a little scared at the time, looking back now...

It's really cool, okay?

There is absolutely no difference from Kamen Rider.

"Okay, stop arguing. Since we have chosen the same game, from now on we are teammates. If we want to pass it successfully, we must unite and cooperate and work together, okay?" Xia He clapped his hands and warned the little kids.

"I understand~" Genta, Mitsuhiko, and Ayumi responded reluctantly with a long tone.

"Hmph." The four naughty kids turned their heads away and snorted with pride on their faces.

Xia He couldn't help but smile when he saw this.

But just when he was about to take a few people to explore the map nearby, he heard a female scream not far away.

Conan spread his legs and immediately rushed towards the direction where the sound came from.

Seeing this, Xia He followed closely.

After turning a few corners, the two suddenly saw a figure torturing a woman in the alley.

The figure was wearing a tall hat and a cloak, and his long hair covered most of his face, making it difficult to see his appearance.

"stop!"

Conan shouted as he squatted down and twisted the buttons on his shoes, trying to give the opponent a precise blow.

However, when he kicked the iron cover on the roadside, the expected scene of the cover flying out and hitting the target did not appear. Instead, he felt a sharp pain on the instep.

"what!"

Conan hugged his right foot and began to scream.

The cloaked man took this opportunity to turn around and run.

When Xia He saw this, he immediately chased after him.

In the pitch-black alley, two figures were moving back and forth.

The man in the cloak...or should we call him Jack the Ripper, his eyes were filled with horror at this moment.

"Why can he catch up with me?"

It would be fine if his speed was almost the same as mine, but how could he see my position clearly in such darkness?
My mind is full of doubts.

Until he ran into a dead end.

"Just surrender, Jack the Ripper." Xia He stood at the entrance of the alley and moved his wrist. Jack turned his head and looked at Xia He with icy eyes.

At the same time, Xia He was also looking at Jack's appearance.

Probably to avoid exposing his true identity, Jack did some simple disguise on his face. At first glance, he looked like an old witch, which was particularly creepy.

"Who are you?" Jack the Ripper asked in English.

"Detective." Xia He answered immediately in English.

"detective……"

Jack grinned.

He suddenly remembered that some time ago, a guy named Sherlock Holmes threatened to arrest him in front of the public.

"Are all of you detectives so arrogant?" he said, his voice still very gloomy.

"Arrogant? This is the first time I've heard someone say that about me."

Say it.

Almost without any pause, Xia He took a step forward and punched Jack in the face.

If this happened in real life, apart from Kyogoku Makoto, probably no one would be able to withstand his punch.

However, this is a virtual game after all.

Just as all the props carried by Conan were ineffective, Xia He, whose strength was greatly weakened, was actually blocked by Jack when he launched a full-strength attack.

Although he took a half step back due to the pain, the moment Jack steadied his body, he took out a dagger without anyone noticing and stabbed it into Xia He's abdomen.

Seeing this, Xia He quickly stepped aside.

The blade scraped across his skin, tearing a hole in his suit.

Jack immediately took advantage of the victory and stabbed Xia He several times in a row, each knife aiming at Xia He's vital points.

In a flash, Xia He dodged them all with his graceful figure, then supported himself with one hand and used a Jeet Kune Do hook kick, hitting Jack in the ribs.

A slight cracking sound was heard.

Jack opened his mouth wide with a very painful expression.

However, he had an excellent ability to endure pain, and he was only stiff for less than two seconds before kicking Xia He's jaw again.

Xia He, who had just stood firm, punched out again, intending to directly cripple Jack's right leg.

But when he gathered all his strength to throw this punch, he found that his power seemed to be slightly weakened than before.

The leg and fist collided quickly.

Surprised, Xia He was kicked in the chin by the toes, and a feeling of dizziness immediately flooded into his brain.

Jack took advantage of the moment when he stumbled and fell, climbed over the wall, and quickly disappeared into the darkness.

"Xia He!"

At the same time, Conan took the brunt of the chase and asked Xia He, who had just stood up from the ground: "Where is Jack the Ripper?"

"Run away." Xia He replied.

"Are you okay?" Yuanzi walked forward and took a look at Xia He's condition. After finding that he was not injured, she breathed a sigh of relief.

"Don't worry, you won't die if you get hurt." Xia He said calmly, "After all, this is just a game."

"But if you are eliminated, then we will have no hope of passing the level?" Sonoko continued.

I had no idea that Conan was Shinichi's Sonoko, so naturally I didn't have any expectations of him.

"Well, I will try my best to save my life." Xia He nodded.

After he finished speaking, his gaze passed over Sonoko and Conan and went straight to Hideki Moroboshi.
