The icon Yukimura points to is the silhouette of the famous British detective Sherlock Holmes holding a pipe. He once mentioned by the Ministry of History that among the four existing worlds, only this world has not yet been fully established and requires first-test players. Help improve the world setting.

The reason for choosing it is on the one hand the fun of participating in the world frame, and on the other hand, it is also because Yukimura knows that the world-renowned mystery novelist Kudo Yusaku participated in the development of this game.

The others had no objection to Yukimura's proposal, only Xiao Ke scratched his head and was a little worried: "I'm not good at reasoning games, and those that are more exciting and adventurous are more suitable for me."

Natsume was also a bit worried when he heard the words: "The reasoning game may not be very friendly to Mr. Cat."

The lazy cat teacher opened one eye, squinted at Natsume and said angrily, "Are you questioning my IQ? I'm a big monster!"

"Hi, hi." Natsume smoothed his hair skillfully, "But there is no difference between big monsters and ordinary people in the game."

"No." Surprisingly, Atobe refuted this view, "Consciousness projection will truly reflect the physical quality of reality. Although magic and demon power are restricted, there must still be some differences from ordinary people. In addition, although it is Don’t worry about the animal mode, all the game characters in the game’s open settings, that is, NPCs, are not limited to humans, and these NPCs can accurately identify the player’s identity, but the appearance is not important.”

"However, despite this, it is inevitable that you will encounter murders or other scenes when you choose Sherlock Holmes. I don't think Sakura is suitable for this game." Yukimura felt that his judgment just now was a bit rash, "Why don't you go with Xiao Ke and Sakura? This world set in the fairy tales, I think it should be biased towards fantasy fairy tales, maybe Sakura's 'special ability' will have a bonus."

Yukito also agrees with Yukimura's judgment, but he is obviously more interested in Holmes, so he doesn't plan to accompany the two of them.

In this way, the ten soldiers divided into two groups and chose two worlds.

After a short period of dizziness, everyone came to a modern city with a lot of traffic. It was different from the gray and foggy London in the [-]th century as imagined. This place is bustling and bright, just like a modern civilized city.

"Here is the modern age?" Snow Rabbit looked around, obviously a little surprised, "I thought we would go to the London described by Conan Doyle."

"This is indeed London." Yukimura judged the location almost instantly, "and we are very close to the legendary apartment 221B."

"A modern version of Detective Sherlock Holmes?" Natsume couldn't help looking forward to it.

Nana dexterously jumped onto Yukimura's shoulder and looked at the surrounding environment curiously: "How should we start the game? The characters in the game here feel very real, completely different from the games I usually play."

Yukimura thought for a while: "Although this is a Sherlock Holmes world completely different from what we imagined, since the coordinates are set in London, it means that some basic settings will not change. Since this world revolves around Holmes, there is no doubt that It’s us who need to find Holmes first, it’s just that we don’t know if the world has an initial identity for us.”

Natsume skillfully opened the game page: "No, now there are only basic attributes in the player information column, no character settings."

"That's it..." Yukimura glanced at Atobe who was wandering outside, his face showed a bit of complacency and restraint, obviously he didn't intend to provide a game guide.So Yukimura made a final decision and brought everyone to 221B.

Along the way, Yukimura, who thought the world was almost the same as the era they lived in, observed that people walking on the road turned on light curtains like them from time to time, which indicated that this was a common technology in this era.Yukimura couldn't help being curious, is the game's structure designed to allow players to blend in perfectly? If it is set in a fantasy world, will there be any changes?

At this time, in the world of Fairy and Legend, Sakura is on the way to deliver a letter to the forest fairy with the majestic Kerubellos.Their progress was much faster than Yukimura's side. I don't know if it was because of luck points, but the two were not separated after logging in to the game.

Xiao Ke's tiger form is very beneficial in this world. It was born with the setting of a big monster, and Sakura became a flower elf born from a flower bud. The two were entrusted by the bearded old wizard, which is a novice task to go to the forest. The fairy sends the letter, and the main task can be started after the task is successful.

The old wizard also prepared two amethyst stones for Xiao Ke and Sakura, and told them: "This is the resident certificate of the Leia Magic Forest. You can activate it by chanting the spell." In fact, this is the player of the Wonderland Lost Edition. panel.

Xiao Sakura carefully wrote down the mission requirements of the old wizard, and took Xiao Ke on the road of novice.On the way, Xiao Ke, a real Internet-addicted teenager who is familiar with all kinds of games, could not help showing a smug smile: "Don't worry, I have played dozens of games of this type at least, and leave all the tasks to me !"

Sakura looked at Xiao Ke full of trust: "It's good to have you here, Xiao Ke!"

If it wasn't for the limited form, Xiao Ke would have wanted to sit on her hips for a few minutes.

After navigating along the city map in the player's game panel to the legendary 221B Baker Street, Yukito, Natsume, and Yukimura stood in a row, showing a shocked expression that had never seen the world.

Without him, the appearance of this 221B apartment is really shocking. It is called an apartment, and its shape is close to an exhibition hall. It is in stark contrast to the surrounding small houses that are connected in a row.

No matter what, everyone cheered up and went inside.

A group of people wanted to see the legendary consulting detective and his military doctor with a pilgrimage, but they ran into a wall in the hall.

As soon as everyone came in, the game program was automatically triggered, and a holographic projection appeared in front of them. "He" is tall and tall, with a pair of sharp gray eyes icily observing the coming person, and the iconic hooked nose identifies him by name.

Even Yukimura, who has always been calm, couldn't help showing a shocked expression.

Obviously it is a holographic image that is automatically set, but this lonely and occasional big detective who likes to play tricks on others seems to have predicted all the reactions of the visitors in advance, and explained calmly: "Well, I know that all the friends here must be very happy. Shocked, maybe some of you are still foolishly looking for the real person or wondering where my loyal and down-to-earth doctor friend went.”

The cat teacher who was really looking around looking for the real person seemed to have been stepped on his tail, and almost couldn't restrain his emotions, he jumped up and shouted: "Who are you calling stupid?" The cat is so cute, it's strange that the cat doesn't know Sherlock Holmes. I don't know what a hologram is.

Natsume hugged it skillfully and covered her mouth: "Shh."

"Friends, put away your anger and ignorance." Teacher Cat felt that he was really being targeted, and his hairs were on end, but the detective continued, "There is no need to waste time, let me tell you now What happened. There have been more and more vicious cases in this city recently. I know that these are all traps designed by my opponent, Professor Moriarty, who is always hiding his head and showing his tail. Evil, in order not to make this city fall like Gotham, it's time for the detectives to form their own organization to fight them."

Yukimura thought he had misheard when he heard the word Gotham, but when he turned his head and saw Atobe's faint smile, he knew the truth was never that simple.

Since they are in London, which is set in the future, and have convenient communication equipment, who knows whether there will be other versions of Gotham and Metropolis on the other side of the ocean in this copy?

Sure enough, Holmes continued: "This one was inspired by the Justice League of superheroes across the Atlantic to fight super criminals. I think it's a good idea, but those rough criminals are obviously not the same as the scheming criminal geniuses here in London. They cannot be compared, and clever detectives are needed to solve them. But what you need to know is that usually there can only be one detective in the setting of mystery novels, and the other one can only be an assistant, or—an apprentice.”

"Ding." Everyone received the system prompt at the same time.

"Rookie task: pass the test of Sherlock Holmes and become an apprentice detective."

The image of Sherlock Holmes was turned off without leaving any hints, and it stopped abruptly, leaving the bewildered players staring at each other.

Snow Rabbit shook his head: "It seems to me that I chose the wrong world. Even the novice tasks in this world are so difficult."

Yukimura comforted him: "Since there is a task to be released, there will inevitably be a reminder. Holmes didn't say much to show that the clues have been hidden in our area. As long as we investigate carefully, there will be results."

Snow Rabbit swept away the frustration just now, patted his head to cheer himself up: "Well, maybe I can switch to the moon form when necessary, he should be able to help a lot."

"Can you switch in the game?" Yukimura wondered.

Atobe shook his head to indicate that he didn't know either: "This situation seems to be that Saiki's mental power will destroy the game cabin. It's too rare. Most people don't have two consciousnesses in their bodies at the same time. Maybe you can test it."

But right now is obviously not the time to test, after all, the novice level has not yet touched the door.

At this time, everyone started to rummage through boxes and cabinets in the hall. Surprisingly, it was Nana who found the clue first.

"The ceiling of the hall is equipped with a holographic projection device, and the video just now was played by induction." Yukimura suddenly realized, and touched Nana's head, "Naina's induction is still as powerful as ever."

To put it bluntly, Nana is an intuitive player. Although she didn't deduce any information, she went straight to the answer effectively.

Sure enough, after they restarted the holographic image, they got a complete reminder of the novice level. Everyone got a single mission. The mission content was not difficult. Most of them were small cases of finding lost objects. .

After getting the task, everyone quickly started to carry out it independently.

Yukimura's task is to identify the thief. This is a classic case of choosing one of three. There are complete evidence and witness testimony for reasoning, but the difficulty is much more complicated than imagined...

Walking into the police station, with the help of the police, Yukimura who found the corresponding case froze in place.

Without him, there are indeed three suspects in the case, but—they are triplets who look exactly the same.

According to the testimony of witnesses and the video recorded by the on-site monitor, the three suspects are all eligible, and the suspects are almost equal.Yukimura, who was lost in thought, couldn't help wondering whether his character was too bad and he chose the most difficult task.But calm down and think about it, you will never arrange a completely unsolvable case in the novice level, and therefore, there must be obvious evidence that can point to the real criminal.
