I'm in Detective Conan, and the system has appointed Batman.

Chapter 417 The Century's Most Famous Detective and Nemesis
"Only by being covered in blood can we achieve final victory."

A homeless man playing the accordion walked past the alley entrance, singing a strange song. Conan, upon hearing this, subconsciously rubbed his chin, realizing that this was probably a hint from Noah's Ark.

—Covered in blood? Does that mean there's going to be a battle scene soon?

Or perhaps it's not as simple as the literal meaning, but some other metaphor he doesn't know about?

"Now there's a problem."

Ai Haibara's calm voice interrupted Conan's thoughts. The group had reached the street outside the alley. She turned her head and asked...
"We don't know where we are right now."

"If we want to get to 221B Baker Street, then we need to know our current location first. Otherwise, if we don't even know which way to go, we might not be able to find 221B Baker Street until dawn."

Other civilians would only take to the streets at daybreak, as the legend of Jack the Ripper instilled fear in everyone.

Conan frowned at this.
He was pondering whether to turn back and meet with Inspector Lestrade to ask about the situation when, a familiar voice came from the sky—Professor Agasa was speaking into his direction.

"Conan, can you hear me? You are currently in the Whitechapel area. 221B Baker Street is to your southwest. Yusaku asked me to tell you that your current game identity is that of members of the Baker Street Squad."

"If you can find Sherlock Holmes, then Sherlock Holmes will become your teammate."

Professor Agasa's voice was fine at first, but it started to become intermittent later on.

After patiently standing there for a while, Conan finally memorized all of Professor Agasa's words, piecing them together in his mind. Then, his brow furrowed, because he knew Professor Agasa wouldn't speak like that at this moment.
This isn't some kind of prank; it sounds like there's a network issue causing buffering, or perhaps an audio problem.

Conan glanced at Hideki Moroboshi again.
At this moment, upon hearing this clearly cheating sound, Hideki Moroboshi showed no extra emotion on his face, as if this matter had nothing to do with him, and he was simply happy that someone had helped him.

Without asking any further questions, Conan immediately said,
"In that case, let's go to 221B Baker Street."

“Since we are the Baker Street team, there is no doubt that Sherlock Holmes will be on our side and solve the case in a very short time with his amazing wisdom!”

Conan doesn't even need to think about it; the Sherlock Holmes in the virtual game world is absolutely ridiculously strong.
It would be even more powerful than Sherlock Holmes in the novels, because this kind of character is designed like a deus ex machina reading a script. If we could really find Sherlock Holmes, then uncovering the true identity of Jack the Ripper would be a certainty.

After quickly determining the direction, Conan immediately led the Detective Boys and Ran Mouri southwest.

Behind them, a boy following Hideki Moroboshi spoke hesitantly.

"Moroboshi, do you think what this four-eyed guy is saying is true or false?"

"Although I'm not very familiar with the Sherlock Holmes stories, I've heard of Sherlock Holmes himself—one of the world's most famous detectives. I don't think the game developers would just let him join the team so easily, would they?" Hearing this, Hideki Moroboshi smiled and said...
"Ah, that's hard to say. After all, Holmes is a good person. Maybe he'll come to us without us having to look for him. After all, Holmes and the Baker Street team are inseparable."

"Besides, isn't that what the saying goes?"

"If Jack the Ripper was the shadow of the times, then Sherlock Holmes was the light of the times. Light can naturally dispel shadows, right?"

As Hideki Moroboshi spoke, he led the other three boys, following Conan and the others at a distance.
The other boy following behind Hideki Moroboshi said with some confusion,
"You said Jack the Ripper was the shadow of the times, and Sherlock Holmes was the light of the times."

"So, if light is white and shadow is gray, then there must also be pure black, right?"

In response, Hideki Moroboshi smirked and said,

"Of course."

"Holmes is the light of the times, Moriarty is the darkness of the times, and the two are forever inseparable. Jack the Ripper is just a shadow sandwiched between light and darkness, and is relatively insignificant."

After all, this is the most famous detective and nemesis duo of the 19th century, isn't it?

"The Cocoon Game doesn't seem as difficult as we imagined..."

"However, the elimination rate is still quite high. In just a few tens of minutes, one-tenth of the players have already been eliminated. But if it's only at this level, I think Xiaolan should be fine."

Kogoro Mouri stroked his chin, looked at the screen, and said...
He knew Xiaolan wasn't good at deduction, and of the five scenarios, 19th-century London was the least relevant. However, of the other four scenarios, only the gladiators in the Roman Colosseum posed a potential threat to Xiaolan.
The other monsters are all so-so, so how could the mystery-based dungeon possibly put Xiaolan in danger?
Is there any more powerful characters in this mystery-driven 19th-century London storyline than in other instances? Or maybe they should just ban the player's combat ability and have a scripted death? Haha, impossible, what trash game would do that?
"Hey Chen En, I'll get in touch with Xiao Lan later. Ask her to take good care of the little girl you're boarding at."

Thinking of this, Kogoro Mouri patted Chen En on the shoulder beside him.

That's pure nonsense—no joke. Based on Jack the Ripper's incredible fighting prowess in the original story, if he didn't act it out, he could wipe out the main characters in under a minute.

Chen Enke still remembers the last scene of the movie, how Ran Mouri was instantly taken hostage by Jack the Ripper.

Furthermore, the words spoken by Hideki Moroboshi, played by Hiroki Sawada, are also inconsistent. Professor Moriarty is a new character introduced after the plot takes a sudden turn, and he is also one of the masterminds behind this instance.

How could Hideki Moroboshi possibly throw Professor Moriarty out at this time?
Even if he only said this to his three friends who weren't very good at reasoning, there was a possibility that Conan would overhear it and head straight to Professor Moriarty to find Jack the Ripper.

What is Hiroki Sawada going to do?
