Chapter 957 Player-1
Thinking of this, Suzuki Sonoko couldn't help but worry about the situation on the train.
She hesitated for a moment, looked at Professor Moriarty opposite her, and whispered, "Professor, have you... have you sent your men to the train to catch Jack the Ripper?"
Just now, in the opera house, Suzuki Sonoko also saw "Moriarty smiling and raising his glass in the firelight."
But unlike Conan, she didn't notice the relationship between "Professor Moriarty" and "Jack the Ripper". She only had a simple and direct thought: How handsome.
So in Suzuki Sonoko's view, Professor Moriarty's goal is still the same as theirs, which is to get rid of the out-of-control "Jack the Ripper".
Suzuki Sonoko: “…” In that case, maybe Xiaolan and the others can reunite with the helpers sent by the professor and safely pass the last level?
…
Across the small table, "Moriarty" heard her question, turned around from the window and looked at her.
As if he saw through Suzuki Sonoko's thoughts, he smiled and said, "Don't worry about what to do with Jack the Ripper. After tonight, the out-of-control man and the out-of-control train will disappear from this world completely."
Suzuki Sonoko was stunned: "The train is out of control?!"
Moriarty nodded and said in a calm tone, as if chatting about the weather:
"The train's brakes were broken. It would just keep accelerating forward. It wouldn't stop until it crashed into the terminal and turned into a pile of rubble - in short, the moment Jack the Ripper stepped onto the train, his fate was sealed. And it was all thanks to your help."
He picked up the porcelain cup at hand and clinked it with the cup that Suzuki Sonoko was holding in front of her face, and raised his voice slightly:
“It’s been a pleasure working with you.”
Suzuki Sonoko: “…?” Wait?! If the train can’t stop, won’t Ran, Conan and the others be killed along with Jack the Ripper!
...What kind of "pleasant" cooperation is this? It's not pleasant at all. So you are this kind of professor! !
Suzuki Sonoko stood up suddenly.
Before the shock in her mind could be transformed into concrete emotions, she suddenly felt dizzy and fell back into her seat.
Suzuki Sonoko covered her lips and yawned, suddenly feeling very sleepy.
She was a little confused: theoretically, when playing the game, she should have been in a hypnotic state all the time and would not feel sleepy at all... Wait, if it was really as "Professor Moriarty" said - the train lost control, and the players on the train and Jack the Ripper died together, then as long as she was still alive, it would be a victory for all the players.
But in this case, things seemed too simple. Could it be that... could it be that what she was doing now was actually some kind of "taking advantage of a loophole", and Professor Moriarty came here specifically to fix this bug?
Suzuki Sonoko: "..." Help! She suspected that the coffee was poisonous and she was going to be poisoned to death! !
The feeling of sleepiness became stronger and stronger, and the cup in Suzuki Sonoko's hand fell to the ground with a plop, spilling a dark brown liquid.
Unable to hold on, she slowly fell on the table. In her gradually closing almond-shaped eyes, her left eye seemed to say "All handsome guys are liars!", while her right eye solemnly added "Except Jiang Xia".
In the last second before her consciousness fell into darkness, Suzuki Sonoko saw "Professor Moriarty" gently put down the porcelain cup in his hand and smiled at her. His smile was as friendly as when they first met: "Don't eat anything handed to you by a stranger, my dear lady."
Suzuki Sonoko: "Hmm..." This death game actually includes safety education elements... Damn it, I will never eat anything again. No matter how handsome a person is, I can't eat him!
If there is a future...
Suzuki Sonoko: “…” Speaking of which, in addition to Xiaolan who has already boarded the "death train" and two negligible little kids, they actually have another reliable teammate.
——Jiang Xia was still driving in another copy.
"..." Jiang Xia! You must drive to the finish line! Don't succumb to Noah's malicious sanctions!
…
Suzuki Sonoko finally couldn't resist the sleepiness and fell into a deep sleep, with a few heartbroken tears in the corners of her eyes. She didn't know if she would have the chance to wake up again.
The camera in the Noah's Ark game professionally recorded this scene.
But it was not broadcast synchronously to the outside world, but temporarily stored in the transfer station.
Just now, on the train, the process of the conductor gathering the passengers together was also stretched out in the same proportion. These scenes will be played later.
…
"Get ready to go out to work."
Jiang Xia stood up from the coffee shop, knocked on the contract, and notified Matsuda Jinpei on the train, reminding it to leave as soon as possible - if the "fake Uzo" wanted to appear in the outside world, it would still need this busy ghost to act as the shaping material for the puppet.
After urging the working ghost, Jiang Xia unskillfully used Noah's authority to observe the situation outside through the camera of the Mihua Municipal Center.
…
Yusaku Kudo had just left Dr. Agasa in the control room to help, and he went to the venue to check the situation, trying to find out the murderer who killed Kenmura Nakaaki - Kenmura Nakaaki is the biological father of Hiroki Sawada, and Hiroki Sawada is the creator of Noah.
Yusaku Kudo always felt that perhaps this method could help calm Noah's anger a little, so that it would at least not be too difficult for the players in the game.
At this time, Kudo Yusaku walked around the venue and had already reached a conclusion in his mind.
He returned to the control room in a heavy atmosphere.
The technicians, Sindra, Inspector Megure and a group of police officers he led were gathered here, anxiously waiting for the outcome of the game.
"I think I know where the murder weapon is."
Kudo Yusaku walked towards Inspector Megure and said in a voice that everyone could hear: "In the center of the venue, there are several decorative bronze statues. One of them holds a short knife in its hand. I have seen it. The knife has been sharpened. It roughly matches the wound of Kenmura."
Inspector Megure was stunned for a moment, but soon figured out which place Kudo Yusaku was referring to - when he came here, he also passed by the banquet hall and had an impression of those bronze statues.
Inspector Megure scratched the back of his head, a little hesitant: "But there are so many guests in the banquet hall, and I remember there is a circle of water around the bronze statue. In front of so many people, running in to insert and remove the murder weapon... is this really possible?"
"Of course - you may not know that when we introduced the Cocoon game cabin, the lights in the venue were turned off. Only the stage was lit, and the whole process lasted nearly seven minutes."
Kudo Yusaku looked at Sindorah's back, his eyes gradually becoming sharp:
"The murderer had calculated the time long ago. He killed the person when the lights were turned off. The fake knife on the statue could conceal his whereabouts. He only needed to replace it in time to hide the murder weapon."
