Arriving in Beika Town, Tokyo, where cases frequently occur, you can encounter a murder case just by walking a few steps.
Transform into light in the darkness, piercing through layers of fog....
11pm, Mihua City Hall, main control room.
The time inside the game is not synchronized with the outside world. One hour in the game is equivalent to 10 minutes in the real world, so even if Makoto Sakaki and others spent 18 hours in the game, only 3 hours had passed in the real world.
"They've arrived at the Royal Opera House!"
Dr. Agasa noticed the red dot on the screen and said without turning his head:
"Things are getting tricky..."
"Why do you say that?"
Maori Kogoro asked in confusion:
"Will a dangerous plot be triggered at the Royal Opera House?"
"Um..."
Dr. Agasa nodded in thought and said in a serious tone:
"We have designed a variety of ways for players to complete the game, which means there are many opportunities to catch Jack the Ripper, which are triggered by the players' own actions."
"To trigger the plot at the Royal Opera House, players need to read the newspaper of the day, decipher the assassination message given to Jack the Ripper by Professor Moriarty in the newspaper, and then go to the opera house to protect Irene Adler."
"While they were protecting Irene Adler, they inevitably came into direct contact with Jack the Ripper, leading to dangers that were difficult to resolve..."
"Face-to-face with Jack the Ripper?!"
With a strange cry, Maori Kogoro lost his composure:
"Jack the Ripper is a serial killer!"
"His combat power should be very high, right?"
"Let me explain..."
Patting his shoulder, Kudo Yusaku took two steps forward and said:
"Everyone knows that Holmes is good with sticks and is proficient in swords and fists. Although he is a detective, ordinary criminals are no match for him, and he also has a gun and Watson."
"To prevent players from instantly killing Jack the Ripper with the help of Sherlock Holmes..."
"We enhanced Jack the Ripper's strength so that both sides are evenly matched."
"So, in the game script you originally designed, the characters responsible for fighting Jack the Ripper should have been Holmes and Watson?"
After a moment's pause, Maori Kogoro murmured:
"But Holmes and Watson are away on a business trip. Without their help, wouldn't the enhanced Jack the Ripper be... invincible?!"
"Xiaolan and the others are in danger!"
"From the perspective of ordinary players, Xiaolan and the others are indeed in danger, but considering that there are still several adults around, their situation must not have reached a critical point."
"That's a serial killer!!!"
Maori Kogoro shouted angrily:
"Jack the Ripper was already very brutal in the historical record alone, why do we need to strengthen him?"
“........”
"Mr. Maori, please calm down."
Thomas Sindora hurriedly stopped Kogoro Mori. He was very happy with this development. Although he was very unhappy about Noah's Ark hijacking the game console, this incident gave him enough excuses.
Everyone heard Noah's Ark hijacking the game console and threatening to kill all participants if the game could not be completed.
So...
The results are nothing more than the following:
1. Complete the game and Noah's Ark will fulfill the contract.
2. After completing the game, Noah's Ark breaks the contract and still kills the player. This possibility is low.
3. If the game is not completed, Noah's Ark will fulfill the contract and kill the player.
4. If the game is not completed, Noah's Ark will release the player instead of killing him.
Thomas Sindorah certainly didn't want Noah's Ark to kill the children of those upper-class people, but the other party's actions undoubtedly provided him with a handle.
According to his judgment, there is a high possibility that Hiroki Sawada also participated in the game, and the Noah's Ark hijacking game is likely just a cover.
but...
Regardless of whether Noah's Ark intended to release electricity, its actions had already violated the law and constituted kidnapping.
Now there are police officers standing outside the Beika City Hall. As soon as the game is over, the police will rush in and firmly control the players who participated in the game. Thomas Sindorah believes that he will definitely find Sawada Hiroki!
By then...
Not only will Sawada Hiroki be arrested, but Noah's Ark will also be destroyed, which is exactly what he wants.
The game console is still the same game console, the press conference goes on as usual, everything is Noah's Ark's fault and has nothing to do with him, Thomas Sindorah.
Now that we have figured out how to solve Noah's Ark, here's what we need to do...
Thomas Sindorah glanced at Kudo Yusaku and a vicious plan came to his mind.
"I'm going to the bathroom."
After finding a suitable excuse, Thomas Sindorah left the main control room, walked quickly into the underground passage, and cut off the camera line.
Then he knocked on the door of Kenmura Tadaki's office again.
Boom boom!
"Come in."
Click...
"President Sindora, do you have anything else to say?"
Jiancun Zhongbin turned around and found that it was Thomas Sindora, and asked in confusion:
"I've already told you that I don't have the DNA tracking system."
"That's not what I'm here for."
Thomas Sindorah shook his head:
"Jiancun, we have known each other for more than a year."
"Well, as of today, it has been exactly one and a half years."
"I have adopted Hongshu for 4 years and have always treated him as my own son..."
"Biological son?"
Jiancun Zhongbin frowned:
"President Sindorah, with all due respect, you locked Hongshu in a room and asked him to develop software for you all day. I don't think you treat him as your own son at all."
"Hongshu doesn't like interacting with the outside world. Besides, didn't I send him to college?"
Thomas Sindorah's face turned pale:
"What's more..."
"Four years have passed, and even if I had a heart of stone, it should have melted. I still have deep feelings for Hong Shu, but I just don't like to show it in front of outsiders."
"What do you want to say?"
"You should know that Noah's Ark hijacked the game console and disrupted the press conference."
"Yes, I do."
"Noah's Ark was developed by Hong Shu. The artificial intelligence program he designed kidnapped a child, which is bound to attract revenge from those upper-class people..."
Thomas Sindorah walked to the table and lowered his voice:
"Jiancun, have you ever thought about...what will happen to Hongshu after the press conference?"
Jiancun Zhongbin's eyelids twitched and he said nothing.
"Those people will not let Hong Shu go. They will definitely put pressure on the Metropolitan Police Department to arrest Hong Shu as the mastermind behind the incident."
Thomas Sindorah continued to speak in Jiancun Zhongbin's ear in a bewitching voice:
"You definitely don't want Hongshu to be arrested..."
"What does this have to do with you?"
Looking up, Jiancun Zhongbin looked at him coldly:
"Don't play the kinship card with me. If you really have feelings for me, you wouldn't push Hong Shu to this desperate situation!"
