Chapter 952 Conan: Don't confuse friend with foe! Please give me a monthly ticket o(〃'▽'〃)o
Mao Lilan thought of Holmes who was on a "business trip" and said tactfully: "He was looking forward to today's concert, but he couldn't come because he had to investigate a case."
"I see." Irene Adler sighed, "What a pity."
Mao Lilan opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something, but before she opened her mouth, she suddenly remembered something and hesitated.
- According to the players' plan, now they should tell Irene Adler that "Run! Professor Moriarty has sent Jack the Ripper to kill you!" and then persuade her to seek shelter elsewhere as soon as possible.
But now, the person involved, Mr. Moriarty, happened to be standing in the room, and he was their ally...
…
Conan turned around and glanced at "Moriarty" behind him.
Seeing Professor Moriarty politely stop at the door and not approaching, looking like a neutral spectator, Conan prayed secretly that the professor would not cause trouble.
Then he turned around and looked at Irene Adler, and decided to tell the truth as planned:
"Please stop your performance tonight - the killer sent by Holmes's old enemy, Professor Moriarty, is likely to attack you tonight!"
Suzuki Sonoko was standing nearby. When she heard this, she quietly came over to make amends:
"It's mainly because the 'killer' is very dangerous. He's completely out of control! He doesn't listen to the professor and he kills people like crazy."
Irene Adler tilted her head in confusion: "Why are they trying to kill me?"
"because……"
Conan stopped talking halfway.
——"Because before, we went to Professor Moriarty to ask about the news of Jack the Ripper. Unexpectedly, the professor was too enthusiastic and wanted to help us lure Jack the Ripper out through an assassination mission, and then he chose you as the sacrifice"... It always feels a bit hard to say these words.
"..." It sounds like they are all villains. What if Irene Adler refuses to accept their help?
…
I was standing there in a trance, not knowing whether I should speak or not.
At this moment, a voice suddenly interrupted from behind.
The friendly and enthusiastic Professor Moriarty actually took the initiative to help the players out of the predicament: "Maybe it's because Moriarty really wants to see Holmes's sad expression when he lost you."
"So that's how it is." Irene Adler was not panicked. Instead, her eyes sparkled as she said softly, "I'm actually curious too - how would he feel sad for me if I died."
Mao Lilan was stunned: "No! This is very dangerous!"
Irene Adler smiled at her: "Everyone will protect me instead of Holmes, right?"
As she spoke, she raised her beautiful eyes and glanced at everyone with encouragement.
When she landed on the young gentleman at the door, she saw Jiang Xia nodded at her in a reliable manner. Irene Adler couldn't help but curl her lips, holding up her skirt, and returned the greeting elegantly.
Conan saw this scene keenly, and his eyes twitched slightly: "…" Hey! Who are you looking at? Can you distinguish between friend and foe first? !
…
"Okay, it's time. It's time for me to go on stage." Irene Adler retracted her gaze and adjusted the accessories on her clothes.
She walked through the crowd at a leisurely pace. When passing by the players, she reached out and rubbed the heads of the children. "If you want to enjoy my performance, you can watch it on the side stage. I'll ask the staff to reserve a seat for you. However, you must enjoy the performance quietly and don't make any disturbances."
When she passed the door, she instinctively bowed to Jiang Xia next to her again - although she completely copied the face and personality of "Kudo Yukiko", "Irene Adler" was an NPC with a certain intelligence after all. Jiang Xia had a higher level of management authority than Noah, and she could vaguely feel the difference in this person.
…
Conan, Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko watched this scene silently, thinking that Professor Moriarty's aura was quite strong. Irene Adler was very friendly to him, could it be because there was a mysterious attraction between smart people? ... But then again, "Professor Moriarty" stood there quietly, not looking at his face, but only looking at his clothes and actions, he really looked like a calm adult.
Perhaps in Irene Adler's judgment, "Professor Moriarty" is more like a qualified helper than the combination of two high school girls and a group of elementary school students.
"What should we do now?" Noah, wearing the skin of "Hideki Moroboshi", approached Conan, curious about the plan of this smart kid.
Conan: “…”
Maybe it was because he had been tricked by Kudo Yukiko too many times, and when he suddenly met an NPC who looked exactly like her, Conan instinctively prepared himself to be tricked.
He was listless and didn't want to talk: "What else can we do? Let's do this for now."
…
The players quickly went out and followed "Irene Adler" to the side stage.
When they reached the intersection, they were suddenly startled.
——Professor Moriarty and Colonel Moran walked to the other side.
The players looked at this unknown NPC, friend or foe, and blurted out, "Where are you going?"
Miyano Akemi glanced at them and said, "We have reserved the VIP seats."
Players: “…”
...I almost forgot. Professor Moriarty is also a respectable man. It is impossible for him to be squeezed with them in the dim and narrow side stage and serve as a bodyguard for Irene Adler.
Moriarty turned around and made a heart-warming invitation: "Would you like to join us?"
"…Thank you, but I won't need it."
Although they wanted to experience the VIP seats in this world, unfortunately, they had to stay beside Irene Adler, protect her, and catch "Jack the Ripper" who came to kill her.
Otherwise, tonight might be the last concert of their lives.
Suzuki Sonoko trotted over, reluctantly shook the hand of "Professor Moriarty", and said firmly: "As soon as this matter is over, I will go buy a game cabin, wait for me!"
Although there are many handsome guys in real life, dating a paper-like handsome guy is a different kind of fun.
Suzuki Sonoko: "..." Well, by the way, I can ask my dad to invest more in the future, open more game copies, and make something like "Moriarty's Crime Book". The player can set himself as Professor Moriarty's beautiful assistant, and work together to experience the dark world of London...
In short, for a bright future, you must get out alive!
Suzuki Sonoko let go of Moriarty, turned around and returned to the player team, with a blazing fighting spirit burning in her eyes.
…
The opera performance soon began.
Conan and others were guarding the side stage professionally.
While Irene Adler was singing, they carefully observed every corner around them where someone could hide, guessing the possible angle of attack by "Jack the Ripper".
But after searching for a long time, no suspicious persons were seen.
