Chapter 489 Elementary school teammates
Lin Xinyi borrowed the magical weapon from Lestrade.
Immediately afterwards, Lestrade greeted him respectfully into the carriage.
As for those primary school players following Lin Xinyi
Except Conan and Haibara Ai.
The rest were all abandoned by Master Lin, leaving the Scotland Yard patrols to take care of them——
There was no other way. Lin Xinyi was really worried about taking these elementary school teammates to fight the boss.
And these kids obviously didn't realize the seriousness of the problem.
As soon as they entered, they were so fascinated by this gorgeous open world that they really regarded this fatal trip as some kind of fun game.
Not to mention, children of this age are born with a protagonist plot of "you are the center of the world".
Lin Xinyi asked them to wait and win, but they were still a little unhappy.
A few thornheads are still clamoring to fight the boss together.
Lin Xinyi naturally would not agree:
"You stay here, don't move around."
"I will come as soon as I go to be my teacher."
Master Lin casually left his primary school teammates behind.
Then he ignored these "apprentices" with gloomy expressions and went about his own business, getting into Officer Lestrade's carriage with Conan, Mao Lilan, and Haibara Ai.
And this feeling of riding in a carriage is quite novel for players:
Although the technology of this era was backward, the enjoyment of transportation by wealthy gentlemen was no worse than that of later generations.
Just like Lestrade's carriage.
There are shock-absorbing springs at the bottom, the seats are made of leather, and even the floor is covered with soft Persian carpets.
Sitting inside is not bumpy at all, just like riding in a modern luxury car.
Lin Xinyi curiously looked at the interior of the carriage along the way——
The "process animation" during the journey passed by unconsciously.
"The Bishop's Square is almost here."
Lestrade carefully stopped at a certain distance from his destination:
"It's 1:26 now."
"Master, if your prediction is correct."
"Then Jack the Ripper is probably lurking around here now."
"Yes." Lin Xinyi nodded seriously and asked, "Are all the entrances and exits near Bishop Square blocked?"
"Don't worry." Officer Lestrade assured:
"I had already deployed the police force before setting off."
"Now the whole neighborhood around here has been quietly cordoned off by our boys from Scotland Yard."
"If Jack the Ripper is near Bishop's Square now, then he will never be able to escape from our encirclement!"
"Okay." Lin Xinyi also breathed a sigh of relief.
The speed shown by Jack the Ripper earlier was too fast.
He asked the police to blockade surrounding neighborhoods on a large scale in advance, just in case -
In the event that Jack the Ripper escaped from the scene due to his physical strength, the heavy police blockade set up in the outer encirclement would ensure that he would not be able to escape.
In other words, the area around the Bishop's Square has now become a closed hunting ground.
Jack the Ripper thought he was a hunter.
Little did he know that while he was looking for prey, he was also caught in a large net that was quietly opened.
"Well."
"Let's go to Bishop's Square to ambush him now!"
Lin Xin repeatedly confirmed that the blockade was in place before finally taking the next step with confidence.
He took the lead, accompanied by Mao Lilan and Lestrade.
Conan and Haihara Ai followed closely behind, and together with a few capable young police officers, they quietly approached the Bishop's Square.
that's all.
Lin Xinyi and others came to the side of Bishop's Square silently and lurked in the dark.
Bishop's Square is called a square, and it is naturally an open public area.
Not only are there street lights, but there are also patrols patrolling the area 24 hours a day.
It doesn't look like a place where a horrific murder is about to happen.
But Jack the Ripper was a brave man, but he didn't like to kill people in remote places.
According to the information recorded by Haihara Ai:
It was here that Jack the Ripper murdered an innocent middle-aged woman named "Catherine Eddowes" between 1:30 and 1:45, a short 15-minute patrol break.
Not just killing people.
And he "opened" it without any haste.
He almost eviscerated the deceased, and as if to vent his emotions, he stabbed at least dozens of times in the face of the deceased.
According to the forensic examination at the time, the murderer "continued to chop at the deceased for at least 5 minutes."
This tragic image is truly unbearable.
so.
"We must prevent this tragedy from happening."
Lin Xinyi also gradually fell into the drama and began to immerse himself in experiencing this almost equivalent to the real game world.
And in his sharp gaze
The time came to 1:32 minutes.
A middle-aged woman wearing poor and plain clothes but with heavy makeup walked over drunkenly.
"Drunk middle-aged woman."
"She should be the victim this time, Catherine Eddos!"
Jack the Ripper specifically targeted drunken prostitutes who appeared in the Whitechapel area late at night. This was a characteristic of his crimes.
So Lin Xinyi immediately cheered up.
He was concentrating on the drunk woman walking slowly through the Bishop's Square in front of him.
Then
"coming!"
A mysterious man who covered himself tightly with a black cloak and top hat, whose face could not be seen from the side, appeared quietly from the darkness.
The mysterious man quickly approached the drunk woman from behind.
Lin Xinyi tightened his grip on the gun in his hand.
Mao Lilan also quietly tensed up her body, accumulating terrifying power.
This game seems to be ending so easily.
They have superior troops and superior weapons. As long as the divine soldiers from the sky and the earth come out from the darkness together, Jack the Ripper will probably be furious on the spot.
But
Is this game really that simple?
That Noah's Ark who wanted to watch people play games would really let the story end so easily?
At the critical moment, Lin Xinyi suddenly had some bad premonitions in his heart.
And just then.
What are you afraid of?
Just as it confirmed Lin Xinyi's sudden worry, a loud sound suddenly sounded in the alley behind them:
"boom!"
It was the sound of gunfire.
The shot was fired from behind Lin Xinyi.
It was not Mao Lilan or Lestrade who shot, but
A fat primary school student.
"you?!!"
Lin Xinyi looked behind him in astonishment:
I saw a primary school student player who had been left behind by me before and didn't bring him over, but somehow ran over.
And he didn’t come alone.
Behind him were several elementary school students who looked equally excited.
They all have guns in their hands.
Touching the real gun in his hand, he saw the "boss" appearing in front of him.
These little players were suddenly so excited that they couldn't control their hands. They raised the revolvers in their hands and fired at the Jack the Ripper who had just appeared.
"this"
Lin Xinyi was stunned for a moment.
Looking back again:
These primary school players are young, but they have become proficient in sunset red marksmanship.
The burst of gunfire just now seemed to be huge, but in the end it produced the effect of human body outline and did not hurt Jack the Ripper at all.
Jack the Ripper froze.
Without hesitation, he turned around and ran away.
"Depend on!!"
Lin Xinyi's face darkened.
He turned around and looked at those elementary school teammates who suddenly appeared:
"What are you doing?!!"
"Playing games."
The little fat man at the head replied quite confidently:
"We are players too."
"Why can't you come and fight monsters?"
Lin Xinyi's mouth twitched.
He stared fiercely at the little fat guy who was leading the trouble. After looking at it for a while, he realized that this guy looked familiar:
"By the way. You are Hideki Morohoshi's friend, right?"
Lin Xinyi remembered:
At that time, among the rich second-generation villains who followed Hideki Morohoshi to make fun of him, there was this little fat guy:
"The name seems to be Jiang Shouhuang?"
"That's right!" The little fat man raised his head proudly: "The boss of Jiang Shou Bank is my father."
"I don't care who your father is!"
Lin Xinyi scolded with an ugly expression:
"explain--"
"How did you guys get here?!"
"Didn't I leave you where you are?"
"Is this this?" Jiang Shouhuan pointed to the patrol policeman following behind him: "I asked the patrolman uncle to drive us here in a carriage."
"ha?"
Officer Lestrade's face darkened now.
He looked at the young police officer who appeared with the elementary school students with red eyes:
"Asshole, why did you bring all these children here?"
"Give them the pistol?"
"Well" the young police officer scratched his head innocently: "Because, are they all disciples of Master Lin?"
“They said that they sensed ‘there is danger on the master’s side’ and asked me to give them weapons and bring them over for support.”
Lin Xinyi: "."
This NPC's IQ is not good.
He was actually fooled into lameness by a bunch of primary school students? !
Lin Xindu suddenly felt the deep malice coming from this world.
Is it so difficult to clear the game in the prologue?
"No--"
"still have a chance!"
Lin Xinyi raised his head and looked in the direction where Jack the Ripper disappeared:
"We've cordoned off this whole neighborhood early."
"Even if Jack the Ripper escaped, he couldn't escape being surrounded by so many police officers."
"He is now near the Bishop's Square, with no way to go!"
"This" Mao Lilan hesitated: "Can this really be done?"
The surrounding neighborhoods have indeed been cordoned off.
But this range is an entire city block after all.
Is it really that easy to find an unknown person in a neighborhood?
"I think it's feasible."
Conan stood up.
"We are playing a game, and Noah's Ark is playing a game with us."
"We are its game."
"And it holds the 'golden finger' of this game."
"In order to have fun, it will definitely not allow us to use that kind of untechnical 'prediction' method and use the game's 'game guide' to pass the game so simply and crudely."
"but."
Conan looked thoughtfully at Jiang Shouhuang who suddenly appeared:
"If you keep turning on "Goldfinger" when playing games."
"I'm afraid it will be boring, right?"
"Since it tacitly allowed Jack to escape behind the scenes, at the same time, it allowed us to successfully blockade the neighborhood."
"Then explain."
"After realizing that we can easily pass the prologue by relying on the 'intelligence guide' provided by Haiyuan."
"In order to increase the difficulty and fun, it secretly modified the main plot."
This world is a world simulated by Noah's Ark.
The evolution of this game world naturally reflects the will of Noah's Ark.
So Conan directly speculated on the intentions of the mastermind behind the scenes from the plot twist of the game:
"If I guess correctly, the main task it has set for us now should be"
"From this police siege, from the hundreds and thousands of people in this neighborhood."
"Find Jack the Ripper!"
