Chapter 237 The game begins, the opening kill

Passing through the light, the dazzling light made everyone subconsciously squint their eyes. When their vision returned again, they saw a completely different scene in front of them.

It seems to be night in London in the game world. Under the dim street lights, the buildings and streets full of age are covered by thick fog, which seems to cast a veil over the entire city, making it difficult to see clearly.

"This is the foggy London"

Conan looked at everything in front of him curiously, as if he had really traveled to the real London at the end of the nineteenth century. This immersive feeling made him feel a little strange.

Mao Lilan observed her surroundings. Due to the thick fog, all the scenery in the distance was very blurry. She murmured uneasily:

"It's not so much romantic as it feels a little weird."

Yoshida Ayumi said a little disgustedly:

"And it seems that even the air is dirty, and there is an inexplicable smell."

Hearing this, Conan explained to her:

"Because the fog in London is not a clean fog with only water vapor, but a haze formed by the combination of soot and water vapor produced by burning coal and oil."

"Hey, it turns out there is already smog in this era."

Yoshida Ayumi suddenly said.

"Although it's just a game, it's pretty similar to the London Singularity we've been to."

Christmas Joan of Arc gave her own fair evaluation of the scenery in front of her, and then she couldn't help but ask Jack for confirmation:

"Right, Jack?"

Local Jack affirms:

"Well, it's very similar, and it tastes very similar!"

"The London Singularity?"

Compared to the situation in front of her, Yui was more curious about the singularity mentioned by Christmas Joan of Arc. As a new Servant, she had only heard nursery rhymes and others talking about the singularity, but had not experienced it herself.

"Eaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah-!"

While they were discussing, suddenly, a woman's shrill scream came from another street not far away from everyone, startling the children.

Night, women, murder.

A flash of lightning flashed in Conan's mind, and he immediately thought of their mission goal for this game——

"Jack the Ripper!"

Thinking of this, he could no longer care about the others and rushed towards the source of the scream.

After turning a corner and walking through a dark and narrow alley, he quickly reached his destination.

At this time, a woman fell to the ground, and in front of her, a mysterious figure wearing a hat and a cloak blocked most of her body.

Conan saw this and immediately shouted:

"stop!"

Conan's cry woke up the other party. The other party had no intention of confronting Conan, but chose to escape without hesitation.

Conan knew that his speed was not as good as his, but luckily he found a piece of garbage on the ground that could be kicked out, so he quickly activated the foot strength enhancer.

"Don't even try to escape!"

"boom!"

However, the full blow he aimed at the opponent only caused the garbage to float in the air for a short distance, and then fell down powerlessly.

“Hiss—it hurts, it hurts, it hurts!”

Jack the Ripper disappeared smoothly at the end of the street. Instead, he felt a sharp pain on the instep of his feet, which made him take a breath. The pain made him pick up his feet and jump on one foot, looking inexplicably a little. funny.

Mao Lilan and others had just caught up. Looking at Conan's appearance, Mao Lilan was a little worried and said:

"Conan-kun, are you okay?"

"No, it's okay."

Conan put down his feet in embarrassment, and Haihara Ai chuckled at the side:

"We are all just virtual characters in the game now. You don't think Dr. Agasa's invention can still be used here, do you?"

When she was talking to Bo Dao just now, she realized this problem.

"I said, now is not the time to laugh at me, right?"

Conan was a little speechless and a little depressed. Without the help of Dr. Ali's equipment, it would be troublesome if he encountered a battle next.

"Did you see it?"

At this time, a childish question came from the side, and he turned his head to look, stunned for a moment.

He didn't expect that the person asking him questions was little Jack, whom he had also cared about before. what did you see? Jack the Ripper?

Looking at the other party's curious eyes, he shook his head and replied:

"I saw it, but I didn't see it clearly. The other party's whole body was tightly wrapped."

"Is this so"

Hearing his answer, Jack was a little disappointed, but he quickly recovered, turned around and said positively to Nursery Rhyme and the others:

"Then let's start looking for her!"

"Hey, wait a minute!"

Seeing that the other party seemed to be planning to take action immediately, Conan quickly stopped him and said:

"There are no clues about the other party right now. Searching randomly like this would be too inefficient and prone to danger."

"London at the end of the 19th century was not as safe as modern society. There were dangerous elements wandering everywhere!"

"Danger?"

Jack tilted his head in confusion and looked at his friends again.

Nursery Rhyme also nodded in agreement with Conan’s point of view and said:

"If you follow the clues, it will be easier to find the other party."

"OK then."

So Jack nodded obediently and returned to the team.

Conan breathed a sigh of relief. For some reason, he always felt that Jack, the kid, seemed more difficult to deal with than Ayumi Yoshida and the others.

"But speaking of clues, that's the only one, right?"

Bo Dao looked at the victim's body. This was the only clue she could think of at the moment.

At the same time, she clenched her fists again and muttered unhappily:

"If only I could eat her."

If it were in the real world, she could obtain all the memories of the other person's life by eating the other person's body, so that she could know the appearance of her murderer.

She can even travel to the past and arrest the other party on the spot.

Of course, if it was really in the real world, she wouldn't bother to care about this kind of thing, and it's not someone she cares about.

At this time, not only players like them, but passers-by on the street also noticed the dead woman lying on the street, which immediately caused a panic and noise. However, there were also some brave people who stood directly in front of the deceased and started. A lively discussion ensued.

Everyone immediately noticed that the words spoken by passers-by were not the Japanese they were familiar with.

"They seem to be speaking English!"

"This is London after all."

"But we don't understand what they are saying, so what should we do now?"

Ayumi and others looked distressed, but what surprised them was that soon, the voices of passers-by's discussions changed from English to Japanese.

"Ah, I understand!"

Moto Kojima said in surprise:

"Have I learned English yet?"

"Obviously not!"

Conan's eyes flickered slightly, and this change seemed to remind them that this was just a game, not the real world.

"Is it Jack the Ripper again!?"

"What number is this?"

"Damn it, are those police officers just for free? Why haven't they caught the murderer yet?!"

"Anyway, call the police!"

Amid the buzzing discussions among passers-by, it didn’t take long for two uniformed police officers to arrive at the scene.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way!"

After the two policemen observed the deceased for a moment, one of them said to his companion:

"Go and notify the Lestrade Police Department!"

Conan was stunned for a moment when he heard the name.

Lestrade, is this the Lestrade I know?

　Come spicy!
