The Split-Actress in Conan's World

"The fog is so heavy." Ayumi fanned the air in front of her face, but the thick fog didn't dissipate, but gathered even more.

"And there's a strange smell." Yuan Tai twitched his nose and his expression became strange.

"Because London fog is not condensed from clean water vapor, but the product of large molecular particles produced by incomplete combustion of coal and charcoal in factories, combined with water vapor in the air."

Conan explained it to them.

"If I have to say it, it would be more appropriate to call it smog."

"So this is ah."

Ayumi nodded, not quite understanding.

Just then, a shrill scream came from another alley not far away.

Conan's expression changed immediately, and he rushed over without hesitation: "It's Jack the Ripper!"

The others reacted a little slower, but soon followed in his footsteps.

Only Chiyoko and Haibara Ai were hanging behind leisurely.

"Aren't you in a hurry?" Huibara Ai glanced at him curiously.

She followed slowly because she was not interested in the so-called "Jack the Ripper", and her fighting ability was average, so it didn't matter if she was missing.

"It's not that we're not in a hurry," Chiyoko yawned and spoke lazily, "but we can't be impatient."

"Any action should be preceded by proper investigation and planning, especially when there is ample time."

"In a sudden situation like this, even if there is no trick behind it, it is difficult to gain any substantial results."

"You don't expect them to just stumble upon a murder scene and solve the unsolved case that has troubled Britain for nearly a hundred years without any preparation, do you?"

"This idea is a bit of a pipe dream. The best case scenario is that we get nothing and Jack the Ripper is alerted to our existence."

"But the worse scenario is that he seizes the opportunity when we are caught off guard and reduces our numbers on the spot, which in turn weakens our strength."

He stretched out his wrist and gently fiddled with the metal wristband, revealing a hint of surprise, and then calmed down.

"Arriving a few tens of seconds late won't have a big impact on the overall situation. Instead, it can improve your condition and help you better deal with possible dangers."

Haibara Ai thought about it thoughtfully, and it couldn't be said that it didn't make sense.

When the two men walked over slowly, they saw Conan holding his feet and jumping on the spot with a ferocious expression.

"It hurts, it hurts..."

Not far away was a dark shadow that had just run around the corner.

A copper pot that looked very sturdy rolled gently on the ground.

"Are you performing some kind of performance art?" Haibara Ai couldn't help but say in a teasing tone.

"Let's forget about the sarcastic remarks..." Conan squatted down and checked his foot-strengthening shoes, turning the knob on them, but no electric arc popped out as he had imagined.

"It seems that the doctor's inventions are ineffective here."

He turned on his watch and the button on his glasses.

"The place where the anesthetic needle should be placed is empty and has become an ordinary watch. The same goes for the glasses. Nothing responds to any button."

Chiyoko nodded. "It's the same with my wrist guard. The hook can be fired, but the alloy steel cable has been replaced with ordinary steel. The load-bearing capacity is dozens of times lower, so it's basically useless."

But he wasn't as troubled as Conan.

After all, this is Newton's hometown.

Mr. Niu’s own territory cannot be suppressed by “Science of Science”, right?

"Wouldn't that mean most of the advantages are gone?" Conan was still a little unwilling.

"Not really." Chiyoko jumped on the spot and clenched her hands.

"At least my physical fitness hasn't been reduced. It's probably the same for Xiaolan."

"From the speed and coordination of Jack the Ripper when he was escaping, Xiaolan can still fight him for a few moves."

Conan looked back at Xiaolan and found that although she looked calm, there was still some fear in the depths of her eyes.

With an imperceptible sigh, he looked away.

A crowd gathered at the alley, and many of them had already noticed the tragic situation here.

The corpse lying on the ground had a hideous expression, but the surrounding fog inexplicably condensed and loomed over her disemboweled body, making it difficult to see clearly.

Naturally, it is not that scary.

This is probably the mosaic mechanism of the "Cocoon" game. After all, the game is mainly aimed at children, so there is no need to make it so bloody.

The English spoken by the people of London was automatically translated into Japanese when it reached their ears, making it easier for the children to understand and there was no language barrier problem.

"What happened?"

"It seems someone else has been killed..."

“Is this the third one?”

The crowd of onlookers whispered.

There was always a dark cloud lingering in Conan's heart.

Not far away, Scotland Yard police officers in dark blue uniforms were approaching.

He quickly led a group of people to hide in the shadows at the corner of the alley.

"Please step back." Two police officers walked through the crowd and approached the body.

The tall and thin police officer immediately turned serious after seeing the death of the body. He turned around and said to another police officer, "Contact Chief Lestrade immediately!"

"Understood." After receiving the instructions, the police officer trotted away quickly.

Inspector Lestrade?

When Conan heard this name, he suddenly felt a sense of joy in his heart.

Being stuck here is not a solution. If this game world is really what he thought it was, then the most important thing to do now is to find that person!

"I think it's better to leave here first." He said after pondering for a moment.

"It seems that you have already confirmed a fact from that name." Haibara Ai crossed her arms and raised the corners of her lips.

"Yes, if that's the case, as long as we find that person, we will be 90% successful."

Conan's face was full of confidence.

The group quietly exited the alley from the direction they came from.

In this season, the temperature difference between day and night in London is quite large. As the night deepens, the evening wind becomes bleak.

"It's so cold." Ayumi walked out of the alley and was hit by the cold wind in the face. She shrank back.

Conan took off his dress coat and handed it to her, leaving him with only a long-sleeved lining: "Put this on."

Suzuki Sonoko, whose short light brown hair was blown messy, also rubbed her arms. She was only wearing a dress with her shoulders exposed.

"It seems a bit."

Mao Lilan was a little better, but for the sake of appearance, she wore short-sleeved shirt when she came today, so she was not much better.

Mitsuhiko and Genta looked at each other and took off their coats at the same time: "I'll lend this to you."

"Thank you." Mao Lilan accepted the children's kindness with a smile.

"I didn't expect you guys to be such gentlemanly people!" Suzuki Sonoko put on her coat, curved her eyes and said teasingly.

Haibara Ai stood in the corner, gently stretched out her fingers, tested the temperature of the air vent, was pricked by the icy coolness, and withdrew her hand.

Although her short skirt looks okay, it is actually very thin.

Suddenly, the air behind her moved, and then a warm touch came from behind. A wide white dress wrapped half of her body.

She was stunned for a moment and looked back.

Chiyoko was left with only a short-sleeved home shirt, with his arms completely exposed. He was carefully adjusting the position of the wristband to make it look more beautiful.

"you......"

Huibara Ai hesitated for a moment, with a hint of uncertainty in her eyes.

"Is that a housecoat under the dress?"

"What's wrong with home clothes?" Chiyoko lowered the height of the wristband to make it look better. "Anyway, it won't be noticeable when I wear the dress over it. The buttons on the shirt are too difficult to button."

"..."

Huibara Ai was speechless.

"If you're cold, just say it. There's nothing to be ashamed of. Not everyone is interested in guessing what you're thinking."

She walked up and rolled up the cuffs of the coat to make it look as symmetrical as possible, and Chiyoko was much more satisfied.

"It just so happens that short sleeves are suitable for me to move around."

The collar was stood up by Chiyoko, making it look like a cloak. Haibara Ai discounted his aesthetic ability in her heart and reached out to smooth down the standing collar.

"Then you have to thank me for providing you with convenient conditions for action."

"Thank you." Chiyoko suddenly learned the true meaning of Conan's dead fish eyes.

While they were undressing here, the troublesome boys on the other side couldn't hold back any longer.

"Hey, what on earth are you doing? Jack the Ripper is right there, why don't you chase him?!"

The middle-parted boy opened his mouth.

"Are you scared?" another fat boy also sneered.

Yuan Tai didn't indulge them and directly scolded them: "Aren't you hiding here and following us? If you are so powerful, go chase them yourself!"

The troublesome boys fell silent.

They were also quite afraid of Jack the Ripper.

It's okay to talk big for a while, but if they really want to act alone, forget it.

"It will be difficult to catch Jack the Ripper relying on our own strength." Conan did not allow the two sides to continue arguing, but mediated between them.

After all, we are all in the same boat now.

"We need to get help from a key person."

"A key person?" The boy with middle-parted hair was puzzled.

Moroboshi Hideki, the leader of the thorny boy gang, narrowed his eyes and said, "You mean, go find the police? Inspector Lestrade?"

Conan shook his head: "Although Inspector Lestrade is also very reliable, we have better options than him."

"You know, Inspector Lestrade is a character in a novel. His existence in this game world means..."

Mitsuhiko understood and said excitedly, "That means Sherlock Holmes also exists!"

"And Dr. Watson!" Ayumi was equally excited.

After all, they are the idol group of the Junior Detective Team, and their level of worship is even higher than that of Kamen Ultraman.

"Yes, if we can get the help of Sherlock Holmes, we can pass the level easily!" Mao Lilan also became happy. After being influenced by Kudo Shinichi day after day, she knew more or less how powerful Sherlock Holmes was.

"What are we waiting for? Let's go find him!" Suzuki Sonoko was ready to go and couldn't wait to meet the world-famous detective.

"Here comes the problem..."

Chiyoko raised her hand and asked the key question directly.

"Does anyone know the way to 221 Baker Street?"

The heated atmosphere suddenly cooled down.
