Chapter 362: Noah's Ark was almost thrown off the train
Hideki Moroboshi widened his eyes and looked at Ran Mouri who was collecting her energy in disbelief, with a big question mark appearing above his head.
What’s going on? What’s wrong with this high school girl?
He had considered Jack the Ripper carefully, and the participants were all children, so he carefully molded the killer according to the strength of a third-degree black belt in karate, okay? Why was he killed instantly by this chubby-looking girl?
It only investigated the information of Conan and Yuya, and completely ignored the other two female high school students who looked weak but were actually more complicated than the other...
Looking at Yuya who was striding towards Jack the Ripper, ready to catch him, streams of data flashed in Hideki Moroboshi's eyes. No, it can't end like this!
He hasn't played enough yet!
He had almost no chance to appear in this game and didn't even have a few lines. How could it end like this?
Just as Youya was about to catch Jack the Ripper, alarm bells suddenly rang in his mind and he stopped abruptly and did a backflip.
With a swish, a cold light flashed.
Yuya glanced at his torn trouser leg, stepped back cautiously, and confronted Jack the Ripper, who pulled out a dagger from somewhere.
The fight here lasted very shortly before the police nearby finally reacted and blew the whistle to call for support.
Seeing that there was no way out, Jack the Ripper let out a sigh and quickly turned around and ran away.
"stop!"
Mao Lilan chased after him without hesitation. As long as she caught Jack the Ripper here, she could complete the game!
Youya felt that something was wrong and was worried that Mao Li Ran could not defeat the opponent alone, so he hurriedly followed.
Before leaving, Conan reminded Irene Adler to stay with the police to ensure her safety, and then followed Miyano Shiho.
In front, Youya looked at Jack the Ripper's running back, a hint of confusion flashed across his face.
He had just been hit hard by Mao Lilan three times in a row, and even he himself would feel pain for a while. How could this Jack the Ripper run so fast as if nothing had happened?
He couldn't help but turn his head to glance at Hideki Moroboshi behind him, and thought to himself: Is this...open?
Noah's Ark didn't want the game to end here? Was it because the true identity of Jack the Ripper was not revealed?
But the identity can be revealed after being caught, so why bother?
Jack the Ripper was extremely fast, and Yuya and the others were completely unfamiliar with the terrain, so they could not catch up with him.
The other party was always moving through the streets and alleys at a speed that they could see but could never catch up with, sometimes fast and sometimes slow.
Yuya looked up and saw from a distance that the "Charlie Cross Station" was already in sight, so...
In the end, they still have to take the last train and have the final showdown with Jack the Ripper. They have to find the hidden "Jack the Ripper" among the many passengers, reveal his identity and motive for murder, and finally survive to the end covered in blood, in order to successfully pass the level?
Yuya suddenly understood. So that's why. The game settings do not allow forced skipping of levels. One must follow the script to complete the game.
Simply put, it is a mechanism similar to plot killing.
It was just like a certain fairy-tale game that Yuya had played in his previous life. When he used cheats to kill the Rakshasa witch in the first chapter of the plot, the opponent would yell at him, "You actually cheated," and then force him to kill him and continue with the established plot.
That’s roughly what it means.
···
After being chased by several people, Jack the Ripper led them around the streets and alleys, trying to shake them off. When he failed, he turned around and ran towards Charlie Cross Station.
I boarded the train just in time for the last train to depart and it was already moving.
Yuya and the others arrived a little later, and by the time they rushed onto the platform, the century-old old train had already accumulated a considerable speed.
Conan and Hideki Moroboshi quickly chased to the side of the car and ran at a speed relatively to the same speed as the train. Then Yuya jumped on and turned around to pull Ran Mouri.
However, Miyano Shiho was in a miserable situation. She was a scientist who almost stayed at home. The chase just now almost exhausted her physical strength. She had only persisted until now by sheer willpower.
At this point, no matter how hard you try, you can't keep up with the speed of the train.
"Mio!" Youya shouted, grabbing the handrail on the side of the car with one hand and reaching out to Miyano Shiho with the other hand to pull her up.
Miyano Shiho stretched out her hand, and their fingers touched several times, but their hands seemed to be lubricated and they couldn't hold each other.
Miyano Shiho turned her gaze and saw a protruding handrail from the side of the carriage. Her eyes lit up and she jumped up and grabbed the protruding handrail.
Yuya heaved a sigh of relief upon seeing this and stretched out his hand to pull the person up.
Hideki Moroboshi looked back, thinking of the difficulty of the levels he would design later. Considering that there were still too many people, data flowed quickly through his eyes.
The next moment, the train suddenly accelerated. Miyano Shiho's eyes widened. She was pulled into the air by inertia. With not much strength left, her palms suddenly became slippery for unknown reasons, and the handrail slipped out of her hands.
Yuya stretched out his hand but grabbed nothing, and watched helplessly as Miyano Shiho floated far away like a kite caught in a strong wind.
I was clearly holding onto the handrail, how could I suddenly slip off? And this train was not speeding up normally...
"you!"
Even though he knew it was just a game and nothing would happen as long as he passed Miss Shiho, Yuya still couldn't control his anger. A strong murderous look suddenly rose in his eyes. He turned around and grabbed Moroboshi Hideki by the collar and lifted him up, roaring, "How dare you!"
The strong murderous intent enveloped Hideki Moroboshi like a substance. Even though it was just an artificial intelligence, it felt fear from the bottom of its heart.
"Wait, wait!" Hideki Moroboshi shouted hurriedly, "Look, she's fine!"
Yuya's expression moved, and he quickly looked over and saw a figure standing up at the edge of the track, waving at him from afar.
Yuya glanced at Hideki Moroboshi coldly. It seemed that Noah's Ark secretly rescued Shiho Miyano.
He casually threw Hideki Moroboshi to the ground, glanced at him coldly, and said, "Let's go, find Jack the Ripper and end this game."
Ran Mouri came to her senses and was surprised at the strong pressure emanating from Yuya just now. She thought it was because Miyano Shiho accidentally fell off the train. She thought that if the same thing happened to Conan, she would definitely be anxious and angry, so she didn't think too much about it.
Conan looked at Hideki Moroboshi thoughtfully, and became more certain of his guess.
Hideki Moroboshi breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, he had the foresight to not actually eliminate Miyano Shiho, otherwise this man might have thrown himself off the train because of excessive anger.
Then how can he participate in the most exciting plot later?
At the same time, the train, which had reached its maximum speed, clanged along the track and soon left the station.
