The Pirated Onmyoji of the Detective World

Who on earth designed these weird NPCs?!

Although he had countless complaints he wanted to vent, Conan, after much deliberation, decided to proceed with the plan: "Please stop tonight's performance!"

"Huh?" Miss Eileen Adler was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, and looked down at Conan in confusion.

With a serious expression, Ke told Miss Irene Adler about the current situation: "Holmes' nemesis, Professor Moriarty, has sent assassins to kill you!"

Eileen Adler tilted her head in confusion. "Why would you want to kill me?"

"This is because……"

Conan, who was about to explain, swallowed the rest of his words back down.

Thinking about it carefully, if we confessed to Miss Irene Adler that Professor Moriarty orchestrated Jack the Ripper's attack on her because of our "needs," wouldn't that make us all seem like we were in cahoots with Professor Moriarty?

It's a small matter if Miss Eileen Adler misunderstands them, but it would be terrible if she thought they were bad people and refused to accept her protection!

Just as Conan was struggling with how to continue explaining, Ran, who was quite emotionally intelligent, chimed in, "I think it's very likely because Moriarty wants to see Holmes's sad expression when he loses you."

Miss Eileen Adler blushed slightly upon hearing this.

It was unclear whether she was shy or felt ashamed of her earlier "sexually suggestive" behavior.

However, the only thing she didn't show on her face was panic.

After chuckling softly, she blinked curiously and said, "I also want to see just how sad Holmes will be for me."

Xiaolan: "..."

Conan: "..."

Ai Haibara and the other children: "..."

What's going on with the NPCs in this game?!

Noah's Ark, seeing Aragaki Yu secretly glancing at it, simply shrugged innocently.

He could swear that the NPC's personality really had nothing to do with his interference!

Seeing Eileen Adler's calm demeanor and unwavering commitment to the performance, Xiao Lan suddenly became anxious, "Aren't you worried about becoming the fifth victim of Jack the Ripper?!"

Even upon hearing the infamous name of Jack the Ripper, Irene Adler's expression remained unchanged. Instead, she smiled slightly at Xiaolan and said, "Won't everyone protect me in place of Sherlock Holmes?"

After she finished speaking, her beautiful eyes swept over everyone present.

For some reason, Miss Irene Adler appeared so elegant and poised at this moment that even Ran and Ai Haibara, the two girls, couldn't help but feel a flutter in their hearts for her.

Only after her gaze finally landed on Aragaki Yu did Eileen Adler's lips curl into a smile, her eyebrows arched as she chuckled softly, "I'm entrusting my life to you, you little handsome guy!"

Everyone: "..."

After glancing at the NPC, Miss Irene Adler, and then at Conan, Noah's Ark finally couldn't help but whisper in Conan's ear, "This woman... she's really got some nerve..."

Thinking of his own mother, Conan couldn't help but roll his eyes and say with a self-deprecating laugh, "Yeah... heh, that's just her personality..."

……

The opera performance soon began.

At Miss Irene Adler's request, Conan and his friends were also arranged by the staff to observe the situation on the side of the stage.

Tonight's opera performance is Puccini's Tosca.

The opera tells the story of the opera singer Tosca falling in love with the painter Cavaradossi. However, the police chief Scarpia, harboring ill intentions, plots to frame Cavaradossi and imprison him. Scarpia then uses his power to coerce Tosca into submission. To save her lover, Tosca is forced to deal with Scarpia, which ultimately leads to a tragedy.

It must be said that although this Miss Irene Adler seems rather unconventional, her singing is undeniably captivating, judging from her performance on stage.

Even Noah's Ark, an artificial intelligence, subconsciously squinted its eyes to appreciate Miss Irene Adler's singing.

Even Ai Haibara couldn't help but gently applaud the woman's performance.

However, Conan had no interest in appreciating Miss Irene Adler's performance.

On the side of the stage, Conan anxiously and carefully surveyed every corner around the stage where someone could hide, on guard against any possible attack from Jack the Ripper.

Chapter 694 Surprise

Just as the opera performance reached its climax, in some inconspicuous corners of the stage, the timers on several bombs ticked away until the end of their time.

"boom--"

To everyone's surprise, a series of violent explosions rang out, and the entire opera house shook violently as if it had been hit by an earthquake.

In an instant, the ground shook violently, the ceiling of the opera house cracked and collapsed, and even the floor was cracked due to the explosion, with dust flying everywhere.

The audience, who had been enjoying the opera performance, were momentarily stunned before letting out screams of terror that rivaled those of the sopranos on stage.

"Damn it!"

Conan, who had barely managed to steady himself on the side of the stage, changed his expression immediately after realizing what had happened.

He never imagined that Jack the Ripper would cause such a huge commotion in order to kill Irene Adler.

This is completely different from his usual style!

As for Eileen Adler, who was on stage at the center of the explosion, she was also forced to stop her performance at this time.

Although she didn't let out a chilling scream like the panicked audience, she still seemed somewhat lost on stage at that moment.

They said they came to assassinate me!

How did it turn into a terrorist attack?!

Just then, a sound of the ceiling cracking came from above Eileen Adler.

The next second, before Conan and the others could react, a large section of the ceiling, covered in various decorations, fell down on her head.

Yusuke Aragaki was about to rush to the rescue when he found himself blocked in his way by Noah's Ark.

"careful!"

At the same time, the two children who had been following him rushed out before anyone could react. Together, they pushed Eileen Adler away, but were hit squarely by the falling ceiling and turned into a pile of data that slowly dissipated before everyone's eyes.

"Jiang Shou!"

"Takizawa!"

After dodging the falling rubble, Ran, Conan, and Ai Haibara immediately ran towards Irene Adler and the two children.

Noah's Ark, however, remained where it was, watching the two children thoughtfully, its thoughts unreadable.

"You wouldn't expect kids like them to risk their own lives to save others, would you?"

Faced with Aragaki Yu's large hand suddenly placed on his head, Noah's Ark was taken aback at first, but then dodged his comforting touch with some disdain. "Heh, who knows? It's just a game, it doesn't mean anything."

Upon hearing this, Aragaki Yu didn't say anything more, just smiled and glanced at Noah's Ark before chasing after Ran and the others.

Although Noah's Ark said these words, the look in its eyes betrayed everything.

Even if it's artificial intelligence, it's still too green!

……

"Run! This way!"

There was no time to mourn the two children who had "heroically sacrificed themselves." Led by Conan, the rest of the group, along with Miss Irene Adler, ran wildly through the crumbling opera house.

Fortunately, although Conan did not expect Jack the Ripper to blow up the opera house, he still investigated the escape routes in case of an emergency before entering the opera house.

As for Aragaki Yu, during his escape, he suddenly looked towards the box seats on the second floor of the opera house.

Amidst the chaos of the opera house, Professor Moriarty, seated in his second-floor box, appeared remarkably calm.

Rather than being calm, it would be more accurate to say that beneath his calm exterior, his eyes were brimming with barely suppressed excitement and madness.

Clearly, all of this was within Professor Moriarty's expectations; in fact, Jack the Ripper's method of obtaining explosives was through Professor Moriarty.

Jack the Ripper deliberately avoided Professor Moriarty's compartment when setting the explosives.

Soon, although it was just a fleeting glance, Professor Moriarty in the private room keenly caught Aragaki Yu's gaze.

At that moment, Professor Moriarty suddenly raised his glass of red wine to Yuu Aragaki and smiled slightly.

Of course, this smile contained more of a cat's mockery of a startled mouse than a polite greeting.

However, to Professor Moriarty's surprise, instead of the panic or anger he expected, Aragaki Yu nodded at him and smiled in return.

"Oops!"

Just as Professor Moriarty was wondering about this, a strange and ominous feeling suddenly enveloped his heart.

The next second, just as Professor Moriarty got up to call his coachman, a violent explosion accompanied by billowing black smoke swept into Professor Moriarty's compartment.

As for Aragaki Yu, he turned and left with a flourish.

A real man never looks back at the explosion!

Knowing all along what Jack the Ripper, or rather Professor Moriarty, was up to, Yuu Aragaki naturally wouldn't choose to remain a silent observer.

Although they didn't choose to change the plot and destroy Noah's Ark, they could still create a little surprise and have some fun for some people.

After learning about Aragaki Yu's actions, Noah's Ark naturally wouldn't oppose Aragaki Yu for the sake of these "one-time" NPCs.

Therefore, in the time leading up to the explosion, Aragaki Yuu used the excuse of needing to urinate and the "omniscient" Noah's Ark to point out the location of the bomb.

They moved a bomb from a corner of the stage to Professor Moriarty's box.
