72. Lost people
In the world.
"Doctor, can we communicate with them?" Kudo Yusaku said in a deep voice.
In the main control room, including Officer Meguri and Kogoro Mouri, all looked solemn.
After all, the children who can experience it tonight are all scaryly backgrounded. It is no exaggeration to say that if something happens to them, it may really cause turmoil in Japan.
"I'll try it." Dr. Agasa said seriously.
Kogoro Maori was anxious, "Since Mr. Kudo is responsible for planning this game, he should know how to guide the game."
"That's right. As long as I can contact them, I can give them instructions and help them deal with various situations." Kudo Yusaki nodded.
"That's great!" Kogoro Mori couldn't help but beat his palms when he heard this, and breathed a sigh of relief, "This way the matter can be solved, we will definitely win."
Yuzusaku Kudo didn't respond, and he was not optimistic, because if Noah's Ark had already simulated what would happen next...
At the same time, on the stone bridge of the virtual world.
"Do you have confidence in the next step?" Haibara Ai wrapped her coat and said casually.
"Yes." Chen Xing said without hesitation.
Haibara Ai glanced at him, "Why didn't you find out before? You are a person with great confidence?"
"Because there are people around me who are always pessimistic. If I am not confident, I may not be able to move on." Chen Xing said calmly.
The people around him were stunned. The wind at night blew the fog on the bridge, waving the brown hair, and the cool breeze made people tremble.
"Well, I admit, you are very good at coaxing children, and I am indeed comforted." She chuckled.
Chen Xing smiled a little, "So as long as you look forward, there is always a way. We are not alone, and we can step through even when we encounter thorns."
Rather than saying this, Ai Haibara, he actually had the intention of awakening himself. He used to think that he would be alone in his world, but someone next to him had never left, like a lamp.
Later he saw that when he touched those warm lights, he formed his real world, and let him know that even when he was in a desperate situation, he had to work hard and strive for it, because there were always people waiting for you and there were always people with you.
Perhaps it was the wind was cold, Haibara Ai was close to him, and his shoulders were leaning against his legs, as if he had found support.
Next to him, Zhu Xingxiu Shu held his arms and looked at Chen Xing with a flash of eyes.
At this moment, a familiar voice suddenly appeared in everyone's ears, with a little anxious, "Can you hear it, Conan? I'm Agasa."
The voice seemed to appear out of thin air. Conan looked happy and said quickly: "I heard it, Doctor!"
Chen Xing lowered his head and said, "Look, there is always a turning point, isn't it?"
Haibara Ai shrugged his shoulders.
"Listen, in the level you are in now, if you are injured, caught by the enemy or the police, you will be eliminated." Dr. Agasa spoke very quickly. "You are now in the White Church area of Eastwedo, from there to the location where the characters can help you..."
Before he finished speaking, his voice suddenly became hoarse and gradually disappeared.
"What's wrong with Doctor? I can't hear it." Conan shouted into the air.
"Be careful!" Chen Xing's expression moved slightly, subconsciously grabbed Ai Haibara's shoulder, and jumped out of the bridge with a step under his feet.
Almost parallel to his reaction was the river where the stone bridge suddenly collapsed from the middle section towards both ends, smoke and dust rose everywhere, and stones fell and suddenly turbulent.
After hearing Chen Xing's reminder, everyone reacted and hurriedly ran to the shore. Kiyoichiro Kikugawa, who looked soft and weak, was slowing down and fell directly into the river when the bridge broke.
Conan turned around, rushed and grabbed his wrist.
"You..." Kikugawa Kikugawa's face turned pale.
"Hurry up!" Everyone pulled him up with great force, and stayed away from the bridge with lingering fear.
Mitsuhiko said weakly, "I can't hear the doctor's voice."
"It should be that the communication was cut off by Noah's Ark." Conan frowned.
"Then how can we find the character that can help us?" Mitsuhiko asked.
Conan smiled confidently, "Didn't the police just now? Contact Restrade Police Department."
On the side, Ran Maori's eyes moved, "Is it the Restrait police station who appears in the story? But that's the character in Conan Doyle's novel."
"This game may be a world that mixes reality and novels." Haibara Ai said.
"Who can that help us?" asked Ran Maori.
Conan smiled with insight into everything, "He should also exist in this world, Sherlock Holmes!"
"Really?" Ayumi said in surprise.
"Having Holmes means 100 more people's strength!" Mitsuhiko waved her fist.
"Then we will pass this level!" Yuan Tai said with great fighting spirit: "Let's go to Baker Street now!"
Seeing them excitedly, the rich children next to them were completely confused. Who is Sherlock Holmes? What is Baker Street? Why did you get excited?
Chen Xing looked calm. Thanks to his time with the detectives these days, he finally knew such a person.
...
Whitechapel is not close to Baker Street, and the group is walking completely.
Through the fog, long shadows passed under the hazy street lights, and there were many crisp sounds of horse hooves passing by on the road. It was the carriage with the strongest British style.
Haibara Ai bent his legs and rubbed his ankles.
"I'll carry you?" Chen Xing said.
Haibara's eyes softened, she smiled and shook her head, "No need."
"Hey, don't you think that clock is weird?" Zhu Xing Xiushu, who was silent all the way, looked up at the clock tower with a surprised expression.
When everyone heard this, they subconsciously looked at it, and then they saw that in the silence, the minute hand suddenly turned upside down.
"From 50 points to 49 points, it has become 48 points again." Conan whispered.
"This number..." Ai Haibara frowned slightly.
"The number of people participating in the game." Chen Xing whispered.
"That's right!" Conan frowned and said, "These two points represent children who were eliminated on other maps."
Before he finished speaking, the minute hand moved counterclockwise a few times.
"Someone has been eliminated again." Azumi covered her mouth.
"Baker Street is coming soon, let's hurry up, too." Conan said.
Soon after.
On the quiet street, in front of the door with the door number No. 221 B, Ran Mori stepped forward and knocked gently.
"Did that Sherlock Holmes live here?" Yuan Tai said curiously.
"Well, he rented an apartment with Dr. Watson." Ran Maori smiled.
All these were said by Shinichi, but I didn’t expect that this time it would come in handy.
After the door opened, a woman walked out, "It's so late, who are you?"
After taking a deep breath, Maori Ran said, "Hello, my name is Maori Ran, I want to find Mr. Sherlock Holmes."
The woman apologized: "Sorry, he and Watson went to Dartmore and were not at home."
Ran Maori was a little disappointed, but his heart moved and he hurriedly said, "What day is it today?"
The woman was puzzled, but she said: "September 30."
"September 30, Dartmore..." Conan suddenly thought of something, "So that's it, the Baskerville Hound incident!"
Ran Maori also remembered, "Yes, both of them left London at this time."
"What's going on? The doctor didn't say..." Mitsuhiko was a little panicked.
"Maybe it's Noah's Ark." Chen Xing said.
Haibara Ai nodded, "It's like after the novel was guessed and the author changed the plot again."
"It can cut off the communication between the doctor and us, and it is indeed not difficult to do this, damn it!" With that said, Conan was still a little upset.
"That..." the woman who had been ignored suddenly said, "I heard that you helped Mr. Sherlock Holmes solve the case two weeks ago."
"Eh?" The few people looked at each other. Is this a setting that was only possible to rationalize their identities, or what?
