Chapter 368 If You Don’t Want to Die, Cover Yourself in Blood
Why? Conan's eyes were sluggish, and the light in his eyes had disappeared. He looked like a stiff corpse, motionless, staring blankly at the place where Mao Lilan jumped down.
The glance that Mao Lilan gave before she jumped down, the reluctance, relief, and... trust in her eyes, deeply hurt his heart.
He couldn't imagine what kind of courage Mao Lilan had to jump off a speeding train.
Reichenbach Falls? Of course he remembered it, and he also remembered what he had said.
But, that was just his favorite sentence that he mentioned when he was telling the story of Sherlock Holmes.
He has never been ready for the people around him to sacrifice themselves for him, even though it's just a game...
Oh, right, games!
That's right, it's just a game! As long as you beat it, Xiaolan will be fine.
Not only Xiaolan, everyone else will be fine.
Besides, now I can only rely on him.
Thinking of this, Conan gritted his teeth, cheered himself up, and looked in the direction the train was heading.
The station can be seen from a distance. It won't be long before the train will crash into it because it will be unable to stop, and the train will be destroyed and everyone on board will die.
Is there any way to solve the current predicament?
"Hey, the guy with glasses! What should we do now?" Moroboshi Hideki ran over and asked anxiously, "We're going to arrive at the station in 5 minutes, what should we..."
"Stop making noise, I'm thinking." Conan raised his hand to interrupt him, frowning and thinking quickly about how to survive.
Hideki Moroboshi was stunned for a moment, closed his mouth, and looked at Conan with deep eyes.
Jump out of the car? No, if he did so at this speed, he would definitely fall to his death. And since Xiaolan and Youya were not around, there was no way to disconnect the front of the car.
By the way, where did Noah's Ark take Yuya? Was he really thrown off the train by Jack the Ripper?
What would he say if he were still here?
Conan's mind quickly flashed through what Yuya had said along the way, and suddenly a flash of light flashed in his mind -
As they were heading to Holmes's residence, they encountered a ragged, Asian-looking minstrel who was singing a strange song.
Yuya said that was the key hint given by the game.
How does the song go? It seems to be:
"Beware of Jack the Ripper
He is waiting for you on the road at night
If you don't want to die
What to do
You have to be covered in blood, too."
If you don't want to die, you have to be covered in blood? Covered in blood...
Conan raised his head suddenly and looked at the cargo carriage at the rear of the train.
When they first boarded the train and were searching for Jack the Ripper, they had also been to that carriage, which was filled with barrels of wine.
Could it be that···
"I get it, follow me!" Conan shouted and ran along the roof of the car all the way to the rear.
"What do you know?" Hideki Moroboshi hurriedly followed.
"Never mind, just do as I say!"
The two men came to the truck compartment as quickly as possible, and Conan shouted, "Quick, break all these barrels!" Then he picked up an axe and started smashing them.
"understood!"
The two of them used all their strength to smash the barrels one by one. Bright red wine poured out from the holes, slowly flooding most of the carriage.
Conan felt that his guess should be correct. Otherwise, how could one explain how a wooden barrel that only filled half of the carriage could release enough wine to flood most of the carriage?
He poked his head out of the wine pool and shouted, "Wait for my command and dive down!"
"I know!" Hideki Moroboshi shouted in response.
He was full of admiration. He had originally planned to give Conan some hints if he couldn't figure out the answer, but he didn't expect that he would find a way to pass the level so quickly.
The two people's actions were broadcast live on the big screen in the control room without any detail.
Everyone knows that whether the fifty people held hostage by Noah's Ark can survive depends on whether Conan's method can work.
They all subconsciously held their breath, stared at the big screen with wide eyes, and prayed in their hearts.
Yusaku Kudo is very confident. One reason is his confidence in his son, and the other is what Noah's Ark said.
Since it says that as long as one person clears the level, everyone clears the level, then no matter how difficult the game is, there must be a way to clear it. As for whether Noah's Ark will regret it...
Although artificial intelligence has fewer emotions than humans, it is also not as cunning as humans because of this.
This is the only effective method under the current circumstances.
However, there are still some uncertainties in this process, such as whether the truck compartment can withstand the impact without falling apart.
Soon, the train arrived and roared into the station.
At the same time, because of its fast speed, it was unable to turn and directly derailed and rushed onto the platform, plowing a deep channel on the ground all the way. The carriages also shook violently up and down. When the front of the train hit the wall, the cargo compartment at the rear of the train was thrown high up, drew an arc in the air, and finally heavily hit the front section of the carriage.
In the freight car, Conan's judgment was very accurate. He shouted the moment the train ran off the track, and he and Hideki Moroboshi dived into the wine.
Even though there was most of the car's wine acting as a buffer, the wine in the car was now rolling around like water in a running washing machine. Conan felt dizzy and then lost consciousness.
The live broadcast in the control room was also cut off, the screen was dark, and even no sound could be heard.
The entire venue fell into dead silence. Everyone stared at the last three "cocoons" still standing on the stage, praying in their hearts that the two children would be able to pass smoothly.
"Wake up, Conan, wake up, the sun is shining on your butt!"
Suddenly, a very familiar voice sounded in Conan's ears, and at the same time, he felt a pain on his face, as if he had been slapped.
"Not awake? Was I not strong enough?" the voice asked doubtfully.
"That shouldn't be the case. I even suspect that you are too strong and knocked him unconscious." Another familiar female voice.
"Never mind, I'll try it a couple more times."
Conan was startled and shouted quickly: "Stop, stop! I'm awake!" and then he opened his eyes hard.
What caught my eye was Yuya's smirking face, and standing next to him was Miyano Shiho, who looked helpless.
Yuya saw Conan open his eyes, and quickly put away his smile and said seriously: "Are you awake?"
Conan's forehead went dark. This guy... just now was definitely intentional! He was not trying to wake him up, but just wanted to take the opportunity to hit him!
He sat up, turned his head and looked around, and found that he had left London in the late 19th century and came to the circular platform before entering the game.
The wall of light between the five stone doors had disappeared. One could not see the end, only darkness.
He looked down at his white shirt stained red by wine and murmured, "It seems that my speculation is correct. Is this what it means to be covered in blood?"
Hideki Moroboshi came over and said with a smile: "Yes, congratulations, you won the game."
