Chapter 938 Let Me Meet the Mysterious Person Added to Alliance Leader [Gong Zi Que Yue]
Haibara Ai took a look at Conan's miserable appearance, then looked at the coffee cup next to her with a corner broken off, and immediately understood the situation.
She covered her face with her hands and sighed, "...It seems that Dr. Agasa's equipment cannot be used here."
As she spoke, she looked toward the horizon and sighed regretfully.
——If I had known this would happen, I should have exchanged badges with Jiang Xia before entering the venue.
Haibara Ai: “…” It’s not entirely because she doesn’t trust Kudo’s reasoning skills.
But at present, it seems that this copy is probably not a pure intellectual game. There may be some fighting scenes.
In this situation, the most reliable thing in the game is indeed one's own fighting strength... Fortunately, although Jiang Xia is not here, for some reason, Mao Li Ran also came in.
Haibara Ai silently moved a little closer to Mouri Ran, turned her head to look at her taut long legs, and her sense of security suddenly increased.
…
On the other side, Conan finally recovered from the critical hit on his instep.
He hissed for a while and soon realized the bad situation.
Conan first pressed the multifunctional glasses.
A subtle mechanical sound was heard, and an antenna quickly emerged from the edge of the glasses frame.
But before Conan could show his surprise, the antenna retracted again in the next second - and even during the short period of time it existed, the antenna did not play any role. The glasses were just ordinary glasses with an extra section.
Look at your wrist again: the anesthesia watch is no longer usable, and only the most basic timing function remains.
Conan: “…”
...Too much! It's fine to weaken Jiang Xia, Jiang Xia's reasoning speed is indeed outrageous. If Noah has checked the relevant reports about Jiang Xia, it is normal to weaken Jiang Xia.
"…" But why did they have to punish an innocent elementary school student like him? Such a good AI, but it was so harsh…
…
At this time, it seemed that the arrival of the players disturbed this quiet early morning.
The alley, which was originally deserted, suddenly became noisy.
Next to it, the door of the coffee shop opened with a bang, and a crowd of onlookers ran out.
The man ignored the players on the street and ran over to the body to take a look.
As if frightened by the tragic death, he stumbled back a few steps, then shouted in a rough voice that echoed in the old streets: "Jack the Ripper is here again! Call the police!"
Click——
Click——
The windows opened.
Residents upstairs and downstairs leaned out their heads and gathered around the corpse on the street, like nervous audiences watching a horror movie in a cinema.
Soon, they all started shouting loudly, trying to call the police over as if in relay.
A group of players were suddenly surrounded by a group of strange "foreigners". Coupled with this panic atmosphere, they couldn't help but become nervous.
Fortunately, no one seemed to think that this group of "suspicious people who suddenly appeared next to the corpse" were the murderers, and no one came to question them.
"..." I don't know if this is the convenience brought by being a child, or the unique protection given to players when they first enter the game.
In short, a group of players secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Remembering that this was a life-and-death game, they retreated cautiously and hid in a nearby alley.
…
Conan was pricking up his ears, trying to hear what the passers-by around him were shouting.
At this moment, Mao Lilan's voice suddenly came from the side.
She was taller than the elementary school students and had a wider field of vision. Mao Lilan asked in confusion: "There seems to be an Asian on the second floor of the coffee shop opposite?"
"?!" Conan was startled and looked in the direction she was looking.
Then, behind the window on the second floor, I really saw a young man who met the characteristics that Mao Lilan described.
——Among the crowd of panicked onlookers, only that person sat quietly by the window, overlooking the bloody scene on the street below like watching a play.
Even, one second after Conan saw him, the other party's eyes moved, looked back accurately, and slowly revealed an ambiguous smile.
Conan: “…”
A sentence suddenly flashed through his mind.
——Before coming in, Noah seemed to have said that there was a "helper" like an Easter egg hidden in each copy.
…
Now it seems, Conan thinks, perhaps the young man upstairs is the hidden friendly "easter egg"?
——In London of this era, among a group of authentic Europeans, an Asian face suddenly appeared... It is really hard not to think too much.
Also, the players' clothing, appearance, language, etc. are all incompatible with this era.
But the group of passers-by NPCs nearby didn't notice them at all, and didn't even glance at them. Instead, the young man with an Asian face on the second floor was looking at them with great interest.
Also, one more thing...
Conan's eyes shifted slightly and fell on the window next to the "mysterious Asian".
——There’s a coffee shop logo there.
And that logo... is exactly the same as the pattern on the heavy coffee cup he kicked just now!
…
This made Conan have some guesses.
——The coffee cup that appeared next to the murder scene of "Jack the Ripper" and caused his foot pain might actually be a hint of some kind - perhaps as compensation for getting Jiang Xia away, Noah deliberately gave them clear clues about the "helper".
The more Conan thought about it, the more he felt that this was probably the case.
Thinking of this, he gestured to the group of people behind him to keep quiet:
"Wait for me for a moment."
Then Conan slipped out of the alley, picked up the coffee cup on the ground, ran to the door of the coffee shop, pushed the door open, and prepared to meet the mysterious man upstairs.
“……”It would be best to lure him into the player team directly.
…
However, the situation was not quite what Conan thought.
"Where did you come from, little devil? Get out! This is not the place for you to make trouble."
As soon as he entered the door, a fierce clerk blocked his way. The already narrow passage was blocked and Conan couldn't get through.
Facing the ferocious adults, Conan skillfully started to act cute.
He held up the coffee cup in his hand and smiled like a good kid: "Well, I found this outside, and I wanted to ask if it was lost by you..."
Before he could finish his words, the waiter snatched the coffee cup away.
With his other hand he lifted Conan by the collar and walked towards the door: "No wonder you keep losing cups lately - if you dare to steal again, I'll kick your ass with my boot!"
The next second, Conan was thrown out of the door.
The door of the coffee shop slammed shut behind him.
Conan: “…”
...This world is too unfriendly to children!
In reality, he would be invited in to sit down. Maybe even have dessert. Then everyone would sit together and talk about what strange things had happened around them recently. Then, the Junior Detective Team, or the High School Detective Team, would be able to go out naturally. But now...
