Chapter 247 Clearance, Conan’s reasoning and Hiroki

"finished?"

After defeating Jack the Ripper, the scene in front of Conan and others flashed. The original street scene of London at the end of the 19th century disappeared and was replaced by the platform where they first logged into the game.

The five stone gates still stood in place, but this time, they were the only players left in the open space.

It seems that they are the only surviving players in the game.

"We're back!"

Mao Lilan couldn't help but said in surprise when she saw this. Seeing the scene in front of her, Conan couldn't help but slightly raised the corners of his mouth and said:

"It looks like we have really passed the level!"

"The guy is gone."

Little Jack looked at the empty ground in front of him. The only knife left in his hand was gone. After being stunned for a moment, he puffed up his cheeks in dissatisfaction.

Jack expressed that he was very unhappy that the other party had escaped disaster in this way.

On the other side, after relaxing, Morohoshi Hideki looked at Conan and others, couldn't help but shake his head, and sighed:

"It ended like this, I don't even know what to say."

"I think so too."

Conan smiled and echoed, feeling very sympathetic to this.

This time the game did encounter too many surprises, not only everything that happened in the game, but also many things outside the game.

At this moment, the stone door they originally passed through suddenly emitted a burst of white light, as if it had turned into a portal-like existence. Yui saw this and smiled:

"Go through this door and you should be able to return to reality!"

After hearing this, Nursery Rhyme happily greeted little Jack:

"Then let's go back, Jack. Joan of Arc should still be waiting for us on Christmas Day!"

"what."

When he thought of Christmas Joan of Arc, Jack stopped worrying about not killing Jack the Ripper and immediately trotted over.

"coming!"

Bo Dao followed them and muttered boredly:

"This game is not exciting at all. If I had known better, I would have chosen [Solomon's Treasure]."

Isn’t this exciting?

Conan couldn't help but feel confused. This was already a bit too exciting, right?

Mao Lilan was about to leave with them, but before he took two steps, he suddenly found Conan and Morohoshi Hideki standing motionless, and immediately greeted him:

"Conan-kun, are you leaving?"

Conan did not respond, but said:

"Sister Xiaolan, please go first. I still have something to talk to Zhuxing."

"Ok?"

Mao Lilan looked at the two of them with some confusion, wondering when the two people, who had not interacted much along the way, became close to each other.

"ok, I get it."

But in the end, she nodded and agreed, and then warned:

"But come here quickly, everyone is waiting outside."

"Well, I see!"

Conan nodded and watched Mao Lilan and others pass through the portal and disappear into the game. At this time, Hideki Morohoshi looked at him with his arms crossed and raised his eyebrows:

"What do you want to say to me? I don't remember anything good to say between us."

"No, there should be a lot, right?"

Conan turned to look at Xiao and asked:

"For example, why are you doing these things and why are you following us, Hideki Morohoshi?"

"No, to be precise, it should be called Noah's Ark, right?"

"."

After hearing Conan's words, Hideki Morohoshi was stunned for a moment, and then fell into silence. After a moment, he suddenly smiled slightly, and his body changed like a TV splash screen.

The next moment, Hideki Morohoshi's appearance disappeared, and what reappeared in front of Conan was a boy who was half a head taller than him and had a delicate appearance. "Noah's Ark?"

Conan looked surprised when he saw this, and the other party smiled and said:

"Just call me Hiroki."

"Hiroki?"

Hearing this name, Conan fell into deep thought and tentatively said:

"Hiroki, the genius boy who developed Noah's Ark? But I remember"

Conan did not continue, and Hiroki did not answer Conan's question, but asked:

"How did you know that I'm not the real Hideki Morohoshi?"

"It's already obvious."

Conan smiled and said:

"I felt a little strange when I was at Big Ben. You were the first person to discover the minute hand problem."

"More importantly, when looking for clues at the Holmes family, Hideki Morohoshi, as a person who loves football very much, how could he not be interested in football a hundred years ago? This is very abnormal."

"There are some pieces of evidence later, such as your abnormal behavior when you and Yui quarreled, etc., but the most important thing is the football."

Hiroki smiled helplessly. He was indeed not interested in sports such as football, so he did not notice this detail. However, he did not expect that the other party's observation skills were so keen, and he could see his true identity through this.

"I've answered your question, now it's your turn, right?"

Conan asked him:

"At the beginning, you said that your purpose was to cut off the evil bloodline, so you wanted to trap the children in the game. I'm afraid that's not actually the case, right?"

"After all, if that's the case, there's no need for you to let us play the game, or, as Yui said, deliberately design the game to be impossible to pass."

Having said this, Conan showed a confident smile and said:

"In other words, the reason why you let us play the game is because you believe that we will be able to pass the level with our own abilities."

"am I right?"

After listening to Conan's discussion, Hiroki raised his head and looked up at the sky. Not knowing where he was staring, he raised the corner of his mouth and said:

"Yes, I don't really want to take away your lives. I just hope that you can gain some growth through this game. This is already the best."

"And for me personally, I also have a small wish."

He looked at Conan and smiled with relief:

"The reason why I borrowed Morohoshi's body to play the game is because in reality I am always at work and don't have many friends."

"So I hope that even if it's just once, I can play with my friends."

"Thank you for fulfilling my wish, and I'm sorry for putting you in danger."

Looking at the young man showing his true feelings in front of him, Conan was stunned for a moment, then smiled helplessly:

"It is true that we encountered danger, but more likely it was an unexpected accident."

"makes sense."

In response, Hiroki nodded in agreement and smiled.

It is obviously a very brain-consuming suspense reasoning game, but with the powerful reasoning abilities of Conan and others, it is as simple as an old-fashioned RPG. You go to various locations to pick up tasks with clear goals and move forward steadily.

There is even someone like Yui who uses game design ideas in an unconventional way, which really makes him a little nervous.

The combat aspect is even more outrageous.

Whether it is a group battle in the Poker Club or a BOSS battle against Jack the Ripper, logically speaking, it is not something that players can compete with head-on.

However, the actual situation is that they not only chose to confront them head-on, but even defeated the NPCs in turn.

Especially in the BOSS battle against Jack the Ripper just now, the opponent was a killer who had been trained since childhood in the setting, but he was beaten unilaterally by the opponent for almost the entire battle, making him temporarily confused as to which side was the final BOSS.

Thinking of this, he even couldn't help but sympathize with the other party.
