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

Chapter 423 The Royal Opera House

—Holmes and Watson left.

The world's greatest detective arrived and departed in haste, and thanks to Holmes's presence, Professor Moriarty's attention shifted entirely from them to Holmes.
The headline in the next day's newspaper, where Holmes published the news, clearly stated that...

Professor Moriarty, you are nothing. You are neither the Napoleon of the criminal world, nor a truly insane adversary, and certainly not my nemesis. My only nemesis is Arsène Lupin.

Professor Moriarty's temperature has risen.
Conan witnessed dozens of cars full of thugs driving through the streets from all directions, ignoring Scotland Yard police cars and chasing after the legendary detective. If Holmes's own words were true...
They will then meet at the top of the Reichenbach building and begin their battle of the century.

—This is undoubtedly an adaptation of "The Final Case"

In the final case, Holmes and Moriarty fell into Reichenbach Falls together. Moriarty died as a result, but Holmes accidentally landed in the Great Hollow behind the falls and followed the Hollow all the way back to London.

This is a deus ex machina provided by the author for Sherlock Holmes, a forced resurrection due to irresistible forces.

However, Noah's Ark, now acting as the "author," is clearly on Professor Moriarty's side, and Conan is unsure whether Holmes can survive the Reichenbach Fall in the building version.

—Perhaps this time, the one who survives will be that monster that is neither like the Joker nor like Moriarty.

"Holmes said you can trust him completely."

Ai Haibara's voice rang out from the side.

This former Black Organization scientist was clearly much more composed than Conan in this kind of situation.

She looked up at Big Ben, which represented the number of surviving players. The number on the clock had dwindled to just eight, and there were five players inside 19th-century London alone. It was hard to imagine what had happened to the players in the other instances.

By now, Conan had become the undisputed leader of 19th-century London.
Even Hideki Moroboshi and his henchmen would prioritize Conan's ideas at this time, and the onlookers were amazed by Conan's intelligence and reasoning abilities.

Upon seeing this, Yusaku Kudo couldn't help but nod slightly in approval of Shinichi Kudo's performance.

Although he benefited from Sherlock Holmes's help, Holmes's assistance was at best like delivering the ingredients to Shinichi Kudo; whether or not he could turn them into a dish ultimately depended on Shinichi's own abilities.
Fortunately, Shinichi Kudo, who is the Sherlock Holmes of the Heisei era, does have the skill to cook this dish.

Kogoro Mouri, who was standing nearby, also noticed Conan's behavior.

He clasped his hands together in front of his head, closed his eyes, and muttered incantations, which puzzled Kudo Yusaku. Just as Kudo Yusaku thought that Mouri Kogoro was praying to the god of all machines, hoping that the machine spirits would be pleased and release the hostage,
Kogoro Mouri muttered to himself,
"Conan, please bless Ran! She must pass the game!"

Yusaku Kudo: ?
Good heavens, Conan, how did you come up with this word?

Even someone as knowledgeable as Yusaku Kudo was speechless at Kogoro Mouri's words. He turned to look at the computer screen and noticed that the game had progressed to the interior of the Royal Opera House.

------

"Me...Ai...Mom, what are you doing here?"

Conan was rendered speechless.
He should have known from the beginning that Yusaku Kudo was shipping Sherlock Holmes and Irene Adler. He knew who Yusaku Kudo would be shipping Irene Adler with when he put himself and Professor Agasa into the roles of Sherlock Holmes and Watson.

—Thank goodness Holmes didn't come over, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to hold back if the two of them stood together.

"Oh, how rude of me, I'm not married yet."

Eileen Adler completely lacked the wisdom of the character in the original story; she seemed just as naive and easily fooled as her mother. At this moment, she asked gently, with genuine doubt,
"By the way, what exactly do you want from me?" Conan frowned and asked.

"Eileen, Professor Moriarty sent Jack the Ripper to kill you. We've come to save you!"

"Holmes is now using this opportunity to delay Professor Moriarty's movements. You must abandon this performance and escape with us, or you will die!"

Is that so?
Eileen Adler blinked.

She smiled and patted Conan's head. For some reason, she felt a strange fondness for this little boy. Therefore, she simply smiled and replied to Conan's somewhat far-fetched question.
"It's okay, aren't you all here to protect me?"

"Alright, I'm about to start my performance. See you later!"

Conan:?
No, if it weren't for the fact that your modeling is like my own mother's, my props would have malfunctioned again.

At this point, I'll give you a quick injection, then grab you and run away on a skateboard, okay? At this point, Chen En's theory is still the most effective, isn't it? Give them a good beating first, no questions asked!
------

"Huh? How could this happen..."

Chen En muttered to himself in the control room.

He glanced at Yusaku Kudo beside him, his eyes narrowing slightly, revealing a look of disapproval. For some reason, Yusaku Kudo felt a bit more pressure than usual. Was it because Chen En's character design had a particularly terrifying aura?

Yusaku Kudo coughed twice and said...
"Ahem, well, there's nothing we can do about it."

Yukiko Kudo stared intently at Yusaku Kudo.

If there weren't so many people around, making it inconvenient for her to speak, she would have already started criticizing Yusaku Kudo, saying things like she wasn't the kind of stupid woman who wouldn't run away if Conan came to warn her—

To be honest, in Yusaku Kudo's understanding, if it weren't for his own son, Yukiko Kudo's reaction would likely be the same as Irene Adler's in the game Cocoon. However, he figured it was best to remain silent.

Otherwise, Yukiko Kudo would probably get angry.

The rooftop of the Reichenbach Building.

Sherlock Holmes stood alone on the rooftop, gazing up at the London cityscape at night.

Just kidding, it's all smog, you can't see anything, there's no night view to speak of, and the higher you stand, the stronger the smog you inhale. If it weren't for the Noah's Ark storyline, he wouldn't bother coming here.

Chen En was too lazy to act anymore.

The game's live stream only broadcasts when there are other players present. Since Chen En is not a player himself, his stream won't be broadcast. Therefore, he simply turned his head to look behind him, clicked his tongue, and said...

"I'm in a hurry, you'd better hurry up."
