Chapter 960 Conan: Don’t distinguish between friend and foe! Asking for monthly ticket o(〃\'▽\'〃)o

Mao Lilan thought of Holmes who was on a "business trip" and said tactfully: "He is looking forward to today's concert, but he can't come because he has to investigate a case."

 “That’s it.” Irene Adler sighed, “What a pity.”

Mao Lilan opened her mouth, as if she wanted to say something, but before she spoke, she suddenly remembered something and hesitated.

—According to the players' plan, now they should tell Irene Adler about "Run! Professor Moriarty has sent 'Jack the Ripper' to kill you!" and then convince her, Seek shelter elsewhere as soon as possible.

 But now, the person involved, Mr. Moriarty, happens to be standing in the room, still in the capacity of their ally...

 …

Conan turned around and glanced at "Moriarty" behind him.

Seeing Professor Moriarty politely stop at the door without approaching, looking like a neutral spectator, Conan secretly prayed that the professor would not cause trouble.

 Then he turned back, looked at Irene Adler, and decided to tell the truth according to his previous plan:

"Please cancel tonight's performance - Sherlock Holmes's old enemy, the killer sent by 'Professor Moriarty', is likely to attack you tonight!"

Suzuki Sonoko was standing nearby. When he heard this, he quietly went over to make up for it:

"Mainly because that 'killer' is very dangerous. He has completely lost control! He doesn't listen to the professor and kills people very crazy."

 "Irene Adler" tilted her head in confusion: "Why do they want to kill me?"

"because…"

 Conan suddenly paused mid-sentence.

—"Because we asked Professor Moriarty for information about Jack the Ripper. Who knew that the professor was too enthusiastic and wanted to use an assassination mission to help us lure Jack the Ripper out, and then he chose you as "Sacrifice"...I always feel like I can't say this kind of thing.

　　　…” It sounds like all of them are evil people. What if Irene Adler refuses to accept their help in the future?

 …

He was frozen in place, not knowing whether to speak or not.

At this moment, a voice suddenly came in from behind.

 The friendly and enthusiastic Professor Moriarty actually took the initiative to help the players out of trouble: "Maybe it's because Moriarty really wants to see Holmes' sad expression when he loses you."

“So that’s it.” Irene Adler didn’t panic, but said softly with bright eyes, “Actually, I’m also curious—how would he feel sorry 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 Sherlock Holmes, right?"

As she spoke, she raised her beautiful eyes and glanced at everyone with encouragement.

When he landed on the young gentleman at the door, Jiang Xia nodded towards her as if he was trustworthy. Irene Adler couldn't help but raise the corners of her lips, held up the hem of her skirt, and gracefully returned the gesture to him.

Conan saw this scene keenly, and the corners of 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 play." Irene Adler withdrew her gaze and adjusted the accessories on her clothes.

She walked slowly through the crowd, and when passing by the players, she reached out and rubbed the children's heads: "If you want to enjoy my performance, you can watch it from the side stage - I will ask the staff to reserve a seat for you Come. But you must enjoy the performance quietly and don’t cause trouble."

 When passing the door, she instinctively saluted Jiang Xia next to her again—although she completely copied the face and character of "Kudo Yukiko", "Irene Adler" is an NPC with certain intelligence after all. Jiang Xia has a higher level of management authority than Noah, and she can vaguely feel the difference in this person.

 …

Conan, Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko watched this scene silently, thinking that Professor Moriarty's aura was actually quite strong. Irene Adler was very friendly to him. Is it because there is a secret attraction between smart people? ...But having said that, "Professor Moriarty" stood there quietly, not looking at his face, only looking at his clothes and actions. He did look like a calm adult. Perhaps in the judgment of "Irene Adler", "Professor Moriarty" is more of a qualified helper than the combination of two female high school students + a group of elementary school students.

"What should we do now?" Noah, wearing the skin of "Hideki Morohoshi", approached Conan, curious about this smart kid's plan.

 Conan: “…”

 Perhaps he was tricked by Kudo Yukiko too many times. Now he suddenly met an NPC who looked exactly like her. Conan was already instinctively prepared to be tricked.

He hesitated and didn't want to speak: "What else can we do? Let's do this first."

 …

 The players quickly went out, followed "Irene Adler", and prepared to go 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 NPC with unknown enemies and friends, and blurted out: "Where are you going?"

Miyano Akemi glanced at them: "We have reserved VIP seats."

 Players: “…”

…Almost forgot. Professor Moriarty is also a decent guy. It was impossible to really squeeze into the dark and narrow side stage with them and work as a bodyguard for Irene Adler.

Moriarty turned around after hearing this and issued a heart-warming invitation: "Would you like to come together?"

“…Thank you, but no need.”

Although they wanted to experience the VIP seats of this world, unfortunately, they had to stay next to Irene Adler, protect her, and catch the "Jack the Ripper" who came to kill her.

 Otherwise, tonight may be the last concert in their lives.

Suzuki Sonoko trotted over, shook "Professor Moriarty's" hand reluctantly, and said firmly: "As soon as this matter is over, I will buy a game cabin, wait for me!"

Although there are many handsome guys in reality, dating a handsome guy from a paper is a lot of fun.

Suzuki Sonoko: "..." Well, by the way, in the future, you can ask dad to invest more, open a few more copies of the game, and make something like "Moriarty's Crime Book", and the player can be set as Mori Professor Artie's beautiful assistant, join forces to experience the dark world of London...

 In short, for the sake of a bright future, we must get out alive!

Suzuki Sonoko let go of Moriarty and turned back to the team of players, her eyes burning with a burning fighting spirit.

 …

 The opera performance soon kicked off.

Conan and others were dedicatedly guarding the side stage.

While Irene Adler was singing, they carefully observed all the corners around them that could hide people, guessing the possible attack angles of "Jack the Ripper".

 But after searching for a long time, I didn’t see any suspicious person.
