Conan's Corpse Picker

The firelight illuminated the face of "Professor Moriarty". He sat peacefully in the crumbling ruins, smiled and toasted the players, as if he wanted to invite them to watch the spectacle of the audience struggling in the explosion.

Conan couldn't help muttering in a low voice: "...a madman who doesn't want to die."

Next to him, Noah, who was wearing the shell of "Zhuxing Xiushu", heard this sentence, and subconsciously looked back.

The picture behind him is indeed very impactful, and thinking of the cool and warm light effect, a considerable part of it was added by himself, Noah couldn't help but answer: "But it's still pretty handsome."

"Indeed." Suzuki Sonoko actually had time to listen to gossip, she screamed amidst the crackling and falling pieces, and answered tenaciously, "This kind of game at the press conference should have screen recordings—hey People outside, did you hear me! Record the scene just now, and give it to me as a mental damage fee after I get out alive!! Otherwise, I will sue you and go bankrupt!"

Conan: "..."

With this group of amazing teammates, I always feel that my survival rate is constantly -1, -1, -1...

... Xiaolan is still the most reliable.

……

Just as he was thinking, the scorching air suddenly cleared.

——They managed to escape to the street outside before the theater became a raging sea of ​​flames.

Chapter 962 Is Moriarty a Good Man?

As soon as he stepped on the stone street outside, there was a sudden sound of footsteps in the alley next to him.

The three remaining players and a ghost in the AI ​​turned their heads and saw a man in black and a black robe, with a gorgeous half-face mask covering his face.The man had a dagger pinned to his waist and was passing by with a high profile.

——It was the first npc they saw after entering this dungeon.

"It's Jack the Ripper!"

Conan reminded his teammates loudly.

Almost at the same time, Mao Lilan took advantage of the momentum to stand still, kicked his body sideways, his slender and powerful legs swept across the air heavily, and kicked precisely in Jack the Ripper's way.

——When I first entered the game, the only one who saw "Jack the Ripper" was Conan himself.But others have seen the back of "Jack the Ripper" from a distance, the black robe that is flying in the wind, and the top hat that must be worn all the time when escaping, it is really impressive.

……

Running on the road well, suddenly someone wanted to kick him, "Jack the Ripper" who passed by here was not surprised.

At the moment of hand-to-hand contact with Mao Lilan, he suddenly flipped sideways and just flashed over Mao Lilan.The black robe rolled in the air, he pressed the hat on his head, and landed lightly, like a black bird.

After that, Jack the Bomber didn't delay for a second, and continued to run forward without stopping.A brief and hasty fight looked like a performance that had been rehearsed several times in advance.

Sonoko Suzuki was the last to run out of the theater.Panting, she raised her head, just in time to catch a glimpse of the athletic Maurilan and the lower half of Jack the Ripper's face that was not covered by the mask.Her eyes lit up, and she shouted from the air: "I want this scene too!"

Saying that, he didn't forget to pick up a lamp that fell by his feet, and threw it at "Jack the Ripper" with a "hey" sound, making a meager effort belonging to the five scum of the war, trying to stop this villain who decided their fate figure.

Matsuda Jinping lowered his head to avoid it: "..." The little girl now has a really good attitude.

However, after thinking about it, the number of corpses Suzuki Sonoko and Mao Lilan usually see, and the number of times they encounter desperadoes, is almost more than that of a policeman who was born in a serious police academy... Matsuda Zhenping suddenly gave birth to a little " That's normal." I feel.

He dodged the things that the players behind him were chasing and smashing, and listened carefully to the sound of footsteps behind him. At a speed that "the players can see him, but they can't catch up to him", he went fast and slow. Running all the way in the narrow alleys, rushing to the "Charlie Cross Station" in the distance.

In my impression, according to the script, this will be the final climax of the entire dungeon.

——The players will start the final battle with "Jack the Ripper" on the high-speed train.

If the hidden "Jack the Ripper" can be found out from among the many passengers, his motive and identity for the murder can be revealed, and finally survive to the finish line, the player will successfully pass the level.

In turn, the entire copy fails.

……

In the desperate pursuit of the players, "Jack the Ripper" took them for a stroll along the streets and alleys around the theater, meaning to "get rid of" the people behind him.

Finding that he couldn't get rid of it, Jack the Ripper paid attention to the time again, and rushed into the "Charlie Cross Station" just as the last steam train departed, and boarded the train that had already started moving.

The players arrived one step behind him.

When rushing to the platform, the old-fashioned train was blowing steam and had already accumulated a considerable speed.

Conan and "Zhuxing Hideki" quickly chased to the side of the car, gritted their teeth and ran out of a relatively stationary speed with the car, and jumped onto the coupler between the two carriages without any risk.

Mao Lilan also jumped up, turned around and wanted to pull Suzuki Sonoko up.

……

Sonoko Suzuki wore an evening dress today.

When logging into the game, the game cabin seems to have scanned their appearance data, and reproduced their appearance in reality one by one.Naturally, it also included Suzuki Sonoko's pair of high-heeled shoes.

Suzuki Sonoko ran the slowest, and she didn't want to fall behind. At the last moment of the train's speeding up, she suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and jumped up, desperate to survive, and grabbed the handrail protruding from the end of the carriage.

"Zhuxing Xiushu" stepped on the car coupler, and she looked back.

Thinking of the difficulty of the level to be set later, and the number of players that should exist in the last level, the emotional AI's eyes moved secretly.

The next moment, Suzuki Sonoko's palm suddenly slipped—a piece of moss grew on the inside of the shiny-looking armrest.The moment she lost her grip on the handrail and was forced to slide away, the train picked up speed completely.With the sound of "Woo--" a whistle, he drove away quickly along the railroad track.

"Ah ah ah ah ah--!"

Mao Lilan's outstretched hand caught nothing, and Suzuki Sonoko was blown head-on by the sudden and violent wind, like a voice poster caught in a strong wind, it floated back screaming.

Before she hit the ground, a figure came out from the canopy next to the platform, raised his hand, and caught her just in time.

……

After completing the speed-up, the train slammed forward, and left Charlie Cross Station quickly with the agility that was not suitable for steam trains.

Mao Lilan, Conan and "Zhuxing Hideki" stepped on the strong coupler between the two carriages.They faced the strong wind, looked at each other for a moment, and finally looked away, opened the door next to them, and entered the compartment.

Along the way, they lost teammates all the time.Especially in the poker club before, in order to see Moriarty, more than half of the people folded in.

Up to now, the companions who are temporarily out of the game have become the fighting spirit of the remaining people.

Moreover, thinking about the good, maybe Suzuki Sonoko is not out yet...

"Yuanzi is on Professor Moriarty's side. If we split into two groups, we might have a better chance of winning." Mao Lilan tried to think optimistically, "Although it is impossible to be sure that the professor is the 'helper' in this dungeon, it is also possible I can’t say he’s not, I always feel that he’s actually pretty good…”

Conan reluctantly responded, but felt a little heavy in his heart.

——Looking out from this car, you can't see the huge "reverse clock" in the urban area, and naturally you can't confirm the number of survivors in the current instance.

But in short, he felt that "Moriarty would continue to help" should not be left to chance.

Thinking about it carefully, when they escaped from the opera house just now, Moriarty stayed in the VIP seats leisurely.This may not be just because he "wanted to appreciate the audience struggling in the explosion", but at the time, he did not feel that the box he was in was in danger.

Subsequent events also proved this point.

Almost all other places were bombed into ruins, but Professor Moriarty's place was "stable", not even a drop of wine in the glass was spilled.

Chapter 963 Yuanzi, rest in peace

And Conan recalled the scene at Charlie Cross Station just now.

——When "Professor Moriarty" appeared next to Suzuki Sonoko, his clothes were neat and his face was not stained with dust.It is almost conceivable that when the players were chasing "Jack the Ripper" and running around the street, he followed the pre-set safe passage and left the theater leisurely.

Conan: "..." This shows that the relationship between "Professor Moriarty" and "Jack the Ripper" is not "out of control" as Moriarty himself said.

On the contrary, "Jack the Ripper" knew the location of Moriarty's box, and deliberately avoided it when planting the bomb.

And when Professor Moriarty left the theater, he also knew that the theater was bombed into a mess, and there was the best way to go... These two people must still keep in touch, they are basically the same!

In other words, if Moriarty really wanted to help them catch Jack the Ripper, there was no need to make this scene.

Conan's heart sank—thinking in the worst direction, "Professor Moriarty" might not like their group of "Baker Street Guerrillas" under Holmes' command, so he deliberately designed today's play so that he could be disemboweled Hand Jack killed the group of people.

Even if he thinks in a better direction, Professor Moriarty doesn't want the out-of-control "Jack the Ripper", so he intends to use the players to let both parties die together.

In short, the player must die.

Conan: "..." Under such circumstances, Sonoko Suzuki, who fell into the hands of Moriarty...

He sighed inwardly, and silently divided Suzuki into the "Rest in peace, we will definitely clear the game!" group.

……

The only three players left, or two players, and one "Hideki Motoshi" entered the carriage and walked along the corridor of the box, secretly looking for "Jack the Ripper" who had mixed into the crowd.

Walking all the way, I didn't see any suspicious people, but I met the train conductor.

Mao Lilan stepped forward to talk, trying to get help from npc:

"'Jack the Ripper' just attacked the theater and we ran after him and found him on this train. Have you seen him? He's recognizable by his attire - all black with black behind him robes, hat and half-mask of the same color."

"Jack the Ripper got into our car?! When?" Hearing this, the train conductor panicked.He paced back and forth anxiously, then suddenly turned his head and asked the player, "Then what should we do?"

Conan heard this kind of help-seeking question for a long time, and he was immediately refreshed, commanding skillfully:

"Jack the Ripper's outfit is highly recognizable. But along the way, we didn't see a similar person on the bus. Since you haven't seen it either, he probably changed his costume and mixed in with other passengers ——Please gather all the passengers in one compartment, and we will be responsible for finding him!"

The train conductor nodded emphatically, becoming one of the few obedient npcs in this dungeon.

He greeted the conductor, and everyone ran out the door together.

……

Soon, the scattered passengers all gathered in the same carriage—"Jack the Ripper" has a very vicious reputation in this world.As soon as the passengers heard that the murderer had sneaked into the train, they immediately became very cooperative, hoping to catch him as soon as possible, so as not to be inexplicably turned into a dead soul before arriving at the next station.

The train conductor stood at the end of the car, looking at the passengers sitting on the seats on both sides, and next to them were three real and fake players.

He remembered the method Conan had just provided, and said to the passengers: "Please, like me, stretch out your hands and raise them in front of you—we need to make sure that everyone is not carrying a murder weapon."

"Jack the Ripper" Matsuda Jinpei, mixed in the crowd at this time, had already completed his disguise.

Hearing this sentence, he looked down at his hand, suddenly thought of something, and understood something.

——After getting on this train, Noah forcibly changed him into a costume.

His appearance now is very different from before.The only thing that remains the same is that there is one finger, which is a circle thinner than the other fingers, which is very obvious.

Matsuda Jinping thought to himself: It seems that this dungeon is coming to an end soon.

A little joy of "finally getting off work" welled up in his heart. Like other passengers, he spread his hands and raised them in front of his face according to what the train conductor said.

……

Conan looked around the carriage, his eyes swept across all the passengers, and he stopped slightly on the way of Matsuda Jinhei's finger, and a reflection flashed through his glasses.

He secretly winked at Mao Lilan.

Then he looked at the other passengers: "According to the investigation information left by Mr. Holmes, one of the victims of 'Jack the Ripper', Honey Charles Sturt, is a woman from the small town of Windsor. She was born and raised in Windsor , married, but didn't want to stay in that small place forever. So ten years ago, she left her son and dying husband and came to London."
