"Brother Kai, why did you bring me here?"
Eve stopped thinking about what was wrong with Yusaku Kudo designing the character of Irene Adler based on Yukiko Kudo, and instead started asking Yan Kai why he called her out.
She just wanted to try what the cookies in the game tasted like. After all, she was using a game chamber, which could provide perfect taste simulation signals for brain nerves. However, she received a coded signal from Yan Kai, asking her to come out.
"follow me."
Yan Kai led Eve to climb up to the top of the stage, and then said to the scale used to arrange lights and decorations: "Look at these."
Eve looked closely and found that many explosives had been placed on it. Once detonated, the consequences... Eve swallowed her saliva, she couldn't even imagine it.
Yan Kai continued: "These should be the arrangements of 'Jack the Ripper'. I'm here to ask you to clean them up."
"Is 'Jack the Ripper' crazy? Moriarty just told him to kill Irene, but does he want to blow up everyone in the opera house?"
Eve said in disbelief.
In the past, "Jack the Ripper" used cold weapons to commit crimes, and based on the degree of mutilation of the corpses, it can be concluded that "Jack the Ripper" had skilled knife skills and superb human dissection technology, so both Conan and Ling felt that , "Jack the Ripper" is a killer who is accustomed to using cold weapons. Before and after the performance, when Irene is alone or there is no one around to protect her, she will rush out and kill Irene with a knife. Lan disguised himself as a theater newcomer and followed Irene, waiting until "Jack the Ripper" took action and then subdued "Jack the Ripper" by surprise.
I thought this plan was foolproof, but who would have thought that this "Jack the Ripper" was so unconventional that he actually wanted to blow up the opera house!
If bombs with such a large yield are detonated together, first of all, the decoration above the stage will definitely fall, and the ceiling of the opera house will collapse. It is very likely... no, it will definitely hurt the audience in the auditorium.
"Eve, you have to understand that you are not just facing a murderer, but a murderer with killer skills."
"Do you know why Professor Moriarty said that 'Jack the Ripper' was out of control? It wasn't because he kept killing people in London. He had only killed four people in so many days. Although his methods were cruel, for Moriarty For the professor, this is nothing in London, the city of crime. What Professor Moriarty really fears is that one day 'Jack the Ripper' will completely go crazy and use his murderous knowledge on large-scale massacres. For example, now."
Yan Kai took a look at the explosives.
"Obviously Professor Moriarty's order only told him to kill Irene, and he had many ways to kill Irene, but he still chose to use the most destructive method. If the assassination of 'Jack the Ripper' was successful, Eileen will indeed die, but there will be countless people buried with her. This is why Professor Moriarty said that 'Jack the Ripper' is out of control. Even Professor Moriarty, he just hopes Make London a 'city of terror' rather than a 'city of terror'."
Hearing Yan Kai's words, Eve couldn't help but frown and said: "What a crazy criminal!"
"Yeah, it's crazy."
Yan Kai nodded.
"But what if 'Jack the Ripper' doesn't appear after we dispose of these explosives?"
Eve asked.
"It's very simple. Change the explosive inside to flour, and then after 'Jack the Ripper' detonates, make some noise to disperse the theater and the opera audience." Yan Kai said to Eve, "'Jack the Ripper' Jack will definitely detonate the explosives outside. After all, although he is a madman, he is unlikely to put himself in danger, so when he detonates the explosives, he will not detonate it inside the theater, it must be outside. As for whether to use a time switch or Ask others to detonate it for him. This is another matter. Anyway, he will definitely be outside to confirm the situation. When the time comes, you take Irene and run out of the back alley. 'Jack the Ripper' will definitely be happy to come up and finish the damage. When the time comes, You have a chance to catch him.”
Eve silently took note of Yan Kai's words.
Well, as expected of Brother Kai, he is indeed reliable!
"Well, the rest of the matter can only be solved by you. It's time for me to do other important things."
Yan Kai said to Eve.
"Other things?"
Eve wondered.
Catching "Jack the Ripper" can be said to be the most important thing at the moment. What else could be more important than this?
"Well... you go and call Wiggins out. I have something to see him for."
Yan Kai said to Eve.
"Wiggins?" Eve was stunned for a moment, then looked at Yan Kai and said, "Brother Kai, do you also think Wiggins is suspicious?"
No matter how you think about it, Wiggins is too suspicious. Mao Lilan and the three little ones from the "Young Detective Team" did not doubt him, but this does not mean that everyone else believed him, at least Eve, Ling, and Haibara Ai They and Conan both saw his suspicion, but they didn't know what his purpose was and why he followed them, so they could only hide it.
"Go and call him over first." Yan Kai said, touching Eve's head.
Although Eve was confused, she still did as Yan Kai said, so Wiggins, who looked baffled, was called to the back alley of the opera house.
Let Eve leave first, Yan Kai smiled and said to Wiggins: "Did you have fun?"
Wiggins was stunned and didn't understand what Yan Kai was talking about.
"Wiggins, no, I should call you 'Noah's Ark', right?"
Yan Kai pushed up his glasses and said.
"Wiggins"'s confused eyes suddenly became sharp. He stared at Yan Kai and said, "How did you figure it out?"
He did not deny it, because he knew very well that denying it was useless. The other party had already accurately told his identity, so it would only be a waste of time for him to hide it, and AI would never do those unnecessary things.
"I checked Sawada Hiroki's information before entering the game, so I know that you look exactly like Sawada Hiroki."
Yan Kai said to "Noah's Ark" who had already admitted his identity.
Yes, Conan complained before that "Wiggins" has an East Asian face. That's because "Noah's Ark" generated the character in the game based on the appearance of Hiroki Sawada.
"...Because of this?"
"Noah's Ark" said after being silent for a while.
"Yes, this is enough." Yan Kai nodded, "Because you may be the only person in the world who hopes that Sawada Hiroki can also play this game, so when a person who looks like Sawada Hiroki appears It's hard not to associate you with 'Noah's Ark' while in the game."
"Couldn't it be that Hiroki's father specially arranged the character 'Wiggins' in the game because he missed Hiroki and designed him to be the same as Hiroki?"
"Noah's Ark" asked.
Yan Kai was silent for a moment, then considered his words and said: "Well, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to insult, but I think that a programmer who doesn't even notice his wife probably doesn't have such delicate emotions. Moreover, cultural creators should do more to bring in private goods."
"..."
This time it was "Noah's Ark"'s turn to be silent, because what Yan Kai said was so damn right!
Among the five game scenes of the "Cocoon" game, only "Old London" was developed by Tadahina Kashimura after taking over Hiroki Sawada's "legacy". But look at this game, it doesn't look like it is for children. .
Yusaku Kudo is a novelist who doesn’t understand games at all, and Tadahina Kashimura is a programmer who doesn’t understand games either. Under the leadership of two people who don’t play games, they developed the game “London in the Old Age” for children. It is a quite unfriendly game, but the two of them are still complacent about it. They think it is an excellent game. To be honest, "Noah's Ark" has no body in reality, otherwise he would really want to rush out and break this game. Two stupid adults, even if Tadahina Kashimura is dead, he doesn't mind whipping the corpse once. These two guys are so annoying!
"Okay, you're right, so what do you want to do by calling me out? Is it just to reveal my identity?"
"Noah's Ark" asked Yan Kai.
"I don't want to do anything, I just want to have a chat with you before leaving the game."
Yan Kai said to "Noah's Ark".
"Leave the game?"
"Noah's Ark" was not surprised that Yan Kai could leave the game at will. What he was curious about was why Yan Kai left at the most critical time.
"Don't you know that this game has reached the most critical part? Why don't you stay and help Ling and the others?" "Noah's Ark" asked with a gloomy face, "Or, because there are important things in reality, So even if the children in the game are in danger, you still ignore them? Sure enough, adults are all selfish creatures!"
"Correction, I am only sixteen years old, a minor, not an adult."
Yan Kai said with a smile.
"...That's the same!" "Noah's Ark" was choked by Yan Kai and said angrily.
"It's just a joke to liven up the atmosphere. Don't have such a big reaction." Yan Kai smiled and said, "Actually, I left this game because this game is actually about to end."
"We have indeed reached the end." "Noah's Ark" nodded, "Whether you can pass the game depends on whether you can catch 'Jack the Ripper' tonight. If not, according to the original script of the game, 'Jack the Ripper' will escape London by train tonight, and this game will be considered 'Game Over'."
Then, "Noah's Ark" raised his head and looked at Yan Kai with sullen eyes, "And at this dangerous juncture, you actually want to escape?"
"Uh..." Yan Kai thought for a while, and then asked "Noah's Ark", "Let me ask, have you not paid attention to the progress of other game scenes for a while?"
"The progress of other game scenes?" "Noah's Ark" was stunned for a moment. He had indeed not paid attention to the progress of other game scenes for a while. He had been busy changing the script the previous night (game time). It is true that he was not distracted by watching other game scenes, and he did not think that there was anything to pay attention to in other game scenes. The last time he looked at other game scenes, the children in them had basically been eliminated, and the remaining ones had not been eliminated. "Noah's Ark" is not worth paying more attention to. However, the game scene of "London in the Old Era" has failed due to the arrival of "uninvited guests" like Ling. When it became interesting, he was busy changing the script, so he didn't pay attention to other game scenes.
"You'd better go check out other game scenes. You should be able to see some interesting things."
Yan Kai reminded "Noah's Ark".
"Noah's Ark" had no doubt that he was there. He felt as if his soul had left his body, and his smart eyes quickly dimmed.
He is the strongest AI created by Hiroki Sawada, and his main consciousness cannot be copied. Therefore, when his main consciousness leaves, the character Wiggins becomes an ownerless body.
After the main consciousness left the game scene of "New York in the Old Era", "Noah's Ark" quickly accessed a large amount of computing power and began to explore other game scenes.
"Vikings" game scene, all those who experienced it were wiped out...
"Paris-Dakar Rally" game scene, all those who experienced it were wiped out...
"Ancient Roman Colosseum" game scene, all those who experienced it were wiped out...
"Solomon's Treasure" game scene, the experiencer... is there only one person left?
Faced with this unusual situation, "Noah's Ark" did not hesitate and immediately immersed its main consciousness into the "Solomon's Treasure" game scene
In the game scene of "Solomon's Treasure", Erina Nakiri wears a pure white gauze dress (magnificence value +40), wears an exquisite crown (magnificence value +30), and holds a fist-sized ruby inlaid in her hand. Golden scepter (prestige value +100, magnificence value +30, weight reduced by 90%), the whole person shines like a goddess enshrined in a temple.
"Goddess" Nakiri Erina waved her scepter, pointed at a ruins in front of her and said: "Go, capture this last ruins for me!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Behind Nakiri Erina, a group of well-equipped and powerful treasure hunters, each of whom seemed to have experienced hundreds of battles, roared in unison, with such force that even the clouds in the sky were shaken away by their roar. 1
Before that, she had hired a group of the best treasure hunters (NPCs) in the game to explore twenty ruins. Unfortunately, she was unlucky. None of those ruins were the legendary "Solomon's Treasures." However, this ruin has already It was the last ruins on the map, and there was no way she could make any more mistakes, so as long as she captured this ruins, she could leave the game.
Alas, Erina Nakiri felt a little reluctant to give up the food empire she had built in the game after she finished the game. What made her even more unhappy was that she mobilized her people to search the entire game. Unexpectedly, Still couldn't find Yan Kai.
"Feizi!"
Nakiri Erina shouted.
"Yes, Miss Erina!"
A red-haired maid came forward and bowed to Nakiri Erina.
She was a maid specially bought by Erina Nakiri. She looked 70% similar to Hisako Nito. She was named "Hiko" by Erina Nakiri as a way of comforting herself.
"Hasn't the person who escaped the bill been caught yet?"
Nakiri Erina asked.
"I replied to Miss Erina, but I still haven't found him. That person seemed to have disappeared out of thin air. Please give us a little more time, Miss Erina, and we will definitely find him!"
Hiiko said to Nakiri Erina.
"Yes, we must find him. He dares to evade the bill. It is simply unforgivable!"
Nakiri Erina said with indignation.
"..."
"Noah's Ark" whose main consciousness entered "Solomon's Treasure" saw this scene and fell into silence for a long time and could not recover.
