Outside the bridge club, Professor Moriarty was sitting in the carriage. The red wine prepared for him by Colonel Moran was placed beside him. He was not in a hurry to open it because he wanted to see if the person he met later was worth it. He opened the bottle of red wine.
He has a quirk. Others like to pair red wine with red meat, but he likes to pair red wine with people who can make his eyes light up.
Under the streetlight, Eve, wearing a black dress, walked over slowly, her figure becoming clear from blur, and her long golden hair made Professor Moriarty smile.
"Is it you?"
Professor Moriarty asked.
Eve nodded silently.
"There have been many people who tried their best to meet me and get my favor, but I have to say that your method is the most creative I have ever seen."
Although Feng Chong was killed, Professor Moriarty was not angry, but showed deep appreciation.
To be able to use such a despicable method to force him to meet him, such a person is simply a criminal genius, and he is also his favorite talent, especially Eve, who looks so young and very malleable. If he can take it with him to personally If you train her, she will definitely grow into a witch who stirs up the storm in London in the future, and may even succeed him in taking charge of his criminal empire!
This is not what I came up with. The person who came up with this idea is currently acting in a crying scene...
Eve thought, but she couldn't say anything, so she could only respond in silence. In the eyes of Professor Moriarty, this behavior turned into a scheming one, which made Professor Moriarty like him even more - Mo Professor Riati would never have thought that Eve was like this because she was usually such a taciturn person, and she was not a scheming person.
"Tell me, why did you meet me?"
Professor Moriarty asked.
No one would come to him, the emperor of London's underground world, out of boredom. That would be courting death, so Eve must be asking for something from him.
"'Jack the Ripper', I want to know information about him."
Eve gets right to the point.
"You actually came to me to ask about information about 'Jack the Ripper'...Have you seen Sherlock Holmes?" Professor Moriarty's eyes widened a little, and he looked at Eve carefully, "In the whole of London, he is the only one who has the ability to find out. My relationship with Jack.”
Eve neither admitted nor denied, but continued: "Now I am asking you a question."
The implication is to tell Professor Moriarty not to say anything irrelevant to the problem.
The smile in Professor Moriarty's eyes became even greater, and he actually ignored his own question. He had not met such a courageous person in London for a long time.
He was not a good-tempered person and showed no mercy to anyone who dared to offend him, but facing such an interesting child, he decided to show some tolerance, so he answered Eve's question: "'Ripper Jack', he's actually my guy."
"That child was a street child I met in the slums. Although he was a street child who was abandoned by his mother, I could see his talent at a glance, his ability to become a criminal, so I took him in. He made a great killer."
Having said this, Professor Moriarty took a deep look at Eve. In her, Professor Moriarty also saw the talent to become a criminal, and this talent far exceeded "Jack the Ripper".
I'm not, I didn't, don't think so!
Seeing the meaning in Professor Moriarty's eyes, Eve quickly denied it three times.
"Then why has he now become a murderer who kills innocent women everywhere on the streets? Although you are known as the 'Napoleon of crime' and are also keen to spread fear in London, this kind of disorderly destruction is not what you want to see, isn't it? What?"
Eve asked Professor Moriarty.
"Haha, interesting question!" Professor Moriarty laughed twice, and then said with a serious face, "I didn't ask Jack to kill those prostitutes. Those women didn't even have the qualifications to disgust me. It was Jack himself who killed them. decision, he is out of control now!"
"out of control?"
"Yes, out of control." Professor Moriarty nodded, "He grew into a murderer beyond my imagination. This series of cases are the result of that child going crazy."
"You are right about one thing. I don't like men who are out of control. Therefore, I want to deal with Jack, but I have been looking for the most efficient and safest method. After all, facing a mad dog, if I can't If you kill him, you will face the consequences of his crazy backlash. If you want to deal with 'Jack the Ripper', I am willing to help you!"
Professor Moriarty looked at Eve and said.
"Help? Can you tell me the whereabouts of Jack the Ripper?"
Eve asked.
Now she already knows the details of "Jack the Ripper", but she still doesn't know the whereabouts of Jack the Ripper. She is still unable to catch him. If Professor Moriarty can provide the information of "Jack the Ripper" Whereabouts, that would be great.
"I'm afraid this won't work. Even I don't know the whereabouts of that child, but it doesn't matter. Although he is currently out of control, he just doesn't want to stop killing. If I let him kill, he will still be happy to serve me. You As long as Jack is one step ahead of the assassination target and waits for Jack to take action, you will have the possibility of catching Jack." Professor Moriarty smiled and said to Eve, "I just don't know if you have faced this situation directly and caused fear in all London. If you have the courage of a murderer, don’t think about asking the police for help. Jack’s sense of smell is very sensitive. Once he discovers that the police are lurking nearby, he will immediately abandon his target and run away. After all, he is just crazy, not stupid.”
"Tomorrow, I will put a message to Jack in the Sunday Times ad, and he will follow my instructions to kill."
"Kill who?"
Eve asked.
"This... you have to guess by yourself. It shouldn't be difficult for you, right? Haha!"
Professor Moriarty smiled and said to Eve.
Eve was silent for a while, and then said to Professor Moriarty: "Thank you for the information. In addition, your troubles will disappear, whether it is tonight or 'Jack the Ripper'."
After saying that, Eve turned around and left.
"etc!"
Professor Moriarty opened the red wine beside him, then opened a hidden compartment on the carriage, took out two wine glasses, and poured the red wine gently.
"Would you like to have a drink with me, an old man?"
Professor Moriarty said to Eve while holding a glass of scarlet wine.
"Sorry, I'm underage."
Eve turned her back to Professor Moriarty and left without looking back.
"Haha, interesting little girl!"
Professor Moriarty drank the wine in his hand.
It's delicious!
…………………………
The next morning, Conan bought a "Sunday newspaper" for eighty yen.
Well, yes, that’s right, it’s in Japanese yen.
When paying the money, Conan had to sigh again. This game perfectly restored London in the 19th century in all aspects, but there were various small details that made people laugh, as if they were specifically telling the players that this is Don’t really indulge in the game!
Opening the newspaper, Conan quickly flipped to the advertisement column.
"Found it! 'Go clean the stage of the Opera House tonight. A message from M to J'!"
After confirming Professor Moriarty's instructions to "Jack the Ripper", Conan looked through his newspaper again, trying to find clues about the Opera House.
"Royal performance, star of the Imperial Opera in Warsaw... Irene Adler!"
Conan suddenly gritted his teeth.
That guy Moriarty actually wants to kill Irene!
Of course, it is possible that he did not want to kill Irene, but wanted to test the relationship between Eve and Holmes, but no matter what, he just let Irene fall into a trap.
"Conan, how are you? Did you find Professor Moriarty's instructions?"
Yoshida Ayumi ran over and asked Conan.
During the day, the smog in London has dissipated, the sky has become clear, and all the dirty sins at night have subsided. London seems to have really become a city of gentlemen. Looking at London like this, Ayumi Yoshida has a deep appreciation for London. My senses have improved a lot, and my mood has become happier.
"found it……"
Conan handed the newspaper to Yoshida Ayumi, and Yoshida flipped through the newspaper symbolically. Well, she couldn't find the instructions.
"Captain!"
Ayumi Yoshida ran to hand the newspaper to Ling. Ling opened it and glanced at it, and immediately understood the instructions given by Moriarty.
"Tonight, 'Jack the Ripper' will go to the Opera House to assassinate Irene Adler."
Ling put away the newspaper and said.
"Irene Adler? Isn't that the only woman that Sherlock Holmes loved in the legend? Why did Professor Moriarty let 'Jack the Ripper' kill Irene!"
Mao Lilan said in surprise.
"Probably testing our relationship with Holmes."
Ling said calmly.
"Then what should we do next? Are we going to stop this performance?"
Mao Lilan asked.
Unknowingly, even she began to act like Ling, and it was indeed thanks to Ling that they were able to get so much information about "Jack the Ripper" last night.
"Stop? Why stop?"
Ling asked rhetorically.
"But if we don't stop it, Irene will be in danger!"
Mao Lilan said anxiously.
"So what if there is danger? It's just an NPC in a game. The data can be reset countless times. But if you can't catch Jack the Ripper and you can't pass the game, you, Conan, and the other forty Many children will all be killed by 'Noah's Ark', Sister Xiaolan, don't you even think about such a simple thing?"
Ling looked at Mao Lilan calmly.
"but……"
Mao Lilan swallowed and found that she could say nothing more.
Now, Irene is the only clue to catch "Jack the Ripper". If Irene is given a performance and "Jack the Ripper" feels something is wrong and runs away, and even suspects Professor Moriarty, then they will want to catch him again in the future. "Jack the Ripper" is going to be incredibly tough.
What Ling said is absolutely correct. This is a game. Whether it is "Jack the Ripper" or Irene, they are all NPCs in the game. If you have to add a prefix, they are important NPCs. Irene is the NPC in any case. It is impossible to compare with those children trapped in the game, but this game is too real, so real that Mao Lilan mistakenly thought that this was the real world, and even developed emotions for the NPCs in it.
"Okay, it's decided. At night, we will sneak into the opera house and lie in ambush waiting for the attack of 'Jack the Ripper'. I think, no matter how careful 'Jack the Ripper' is, he can't hide a group of women." Baby!"
Ling finally made the final decision.
"Ah, by the way, where is Wiggins? The member of the 'Baker Street Detective Team' who helped us before, where did he go?"
Mao Lilan suddenly remembered that she had never seen Wiggins since entering the bridge club last night.
"Wiggins..."
Ling blinked and almost asked who it was. After all, she was not used to remembering people who were discarded after using them. Fortunately, not long after the time passed, the memory of Wiggins in Ling's mind did not completely fade away. He quickly recalled Wiggins and said to Mao Lilan: "Wiggins helped us a lot before. If it weren't for him, we wouldn't have been able to get the information about 'Jack the Ripper' so smoothly, but now he is causing trouble." I got into some trouble, so I hid first."
Wiggins, she and Colonel Moran were all taken away by the police before, but Ling was clever and slipped away alone, while Wiggins was left behind by her and may still be in the police station now. As for him What will happen next... is none of her business!
"Ling, I finally found you!"
Just as they were talking about Wiggins, Wiggins suddenly appeared out of nowhere and looked at Ling and Mao Lilan and said very happily.
Wiggins felt miserable. He was taken to the police station for no reason and was interrogated for a long time. Fortunately, he was a victim and not a prisoner, so he was released this morning. He spent a lot of time walking around the streets of London. After searching, it was not easy to find Ling and his party.
Ling was stunned for a moment after seeing Wiggins, and then suddenly showed an excited expression: "Brother Wiggins, I finally see you again. I saw you being taken away by the police. I was really worried about you!"
I was worried about where to go to the opera house, and a tool man who had already completed PUA came to my door. It was a blessing from God!
In the distance, Eve bought two cones. She ate one herself and handed the other to Yan Kai.
"Girl Ling, did you have a good time?"
Yan Kai licked the cone. Well, it was very sweet, but it was just very sweet. There was no layering. Bad review.
"Brother Kai, won't you come and help us?"
Eve looked at Yan Kai with some resentment.
When she first met Yan Kai last night, she wanted to ask Yan Kai for help, but Yan Kai refused. The reason was that it was not martial ethics to explode a fish pond. She also asked Eve to help him hide that he was also coming to this game scene. thing, and then I hid and watched the show.
Now, Eve once again asked Yan Kailai for help. After all, there are only a few of them, and they may not be able to catch "Jack the Ripper" in tonight's operation. Although this game does not have a clearance time, Eve feels that if this happens If they fail to catch "Jack the Ripper" for the first time, they may never have the chance to clear the game, and this game involves forty-eight lives. Although Eve is also in the game warehouse, she is protected by nanobots. Even if "Noah's Ark" attacks her with electromagnetic waves, for her it is just charging her nano-organs. Not only will it not kill Eve, but it might also make Eve feel better.
Eve was not worried about her own life safety, but she had to care about the life safety of the children who entered the game together - even though many of the children in it were quite annoying.
"Don't worry, you will definitely pass this game."
Yan Kai took a few bites of the cone and then touched Eve's head.
"..." Eve was silent for a moment, then asked Yan Kai, "Brother Kai, is your hand the one that took the cone just now?"
Eve remembered that the cone melted a little too fast and a few drops fell on Yan Kai's hand.
"Ah, I forgot! But it doesn't matter, it's a game anyway!"
Yan Kai smiled and rubbed Eve's head.
"..." Eve.
You are getting worse!
