Conan: Are You Banning My Hacks Because You Can't Handle It?!

On the other side, in England, on the streets of the Whitechapel District.

"Is this the Misty London?"

Sonoko looked around at the retro buildings shrouded in mist, and muttered to herself with a strange expression, "Why does this feel different from what I expected?"

"It's less about romance and more about the bizarre, isn't it?"

Ran looked at the building, which was faintly visible in the gas streetlights and shrouded in an eerie atmosphere, and couldn't help but swallow.

"The air is also very dirty."

Ayumi pinched her nose. "There's a strange smell to it."

"The fog in London is not clean water vapor."

Conan, a Sherlock Holmes fan, turned around and explained, "Actually, this fog is formed by the combination of coal, oil, and other combustion products with soot-like fumes. If you inhale it for a long time, it can have a negative impact on your health."

He paused, then continued, "But we're in a game now, so we don't need to worry about these things. It might just taste a little strange."

"It's better not to talk about these things for now..."

At that moment, Ai Haibara, standing behind them, suddenly turned serious and interrupted their conversation, "Haven't you noticed anything strange?"

"Strangeness?"

Conan exclaimed in surprise, then frowned, "Now that you mention it, it does seem a bit strange..."

"It's Brother Fujino!"

Ayumi, regaining her senses, exclaimed in surprise, "Brother Fujino is gone!"

"What?!"

Conan was taken aback upon hearing this, and glanced around, but indeed did not find the sixth brother.

"How could it have disappeared?!"

Sonoko anxiously asked repeatedly, "Wasn't Fujino- Senior walking in at the front with us?"

"Could it be because they were born in different locations?"

Mitsuhiko frowned. "It seems there's a spawn mechanism in the game where everyone's spawn location isn't fixed..."

"It's out of the question."

Conan glanced at the group of mischievous kids beside him. "After all, the few of them who came in before us are in the same place as us. If that's the case, Fujino, who came in with us, shouldn't have disappeared."

"What should we do now?!"

Sonoko rubbed her head. "If it weren't for Fujino- Senior, we would have been killed if we had encountered Jack the Ripper!"

Ran shuddered upon hearing this. "Let's go find Fujino- Senior first."

"Uh-huh!"

Ayumi nodded. "We'll be safe as long as we find Brother Fujino."

Conan: "..."

Seriously, am I really that invisible?

Even without Fujino, I'm still here!

Everyone thinks that finding Fujino means they're safe!

"Ah--"

Suddenly, a woman's scream echoed through the empty street.

Jack the Ripper!

Conan was the first to recover and quickly chased after the source of the sound.

He walked through the alley and came to another street.

At a glance, one could see a man in a cloak holding a dagger, about to disembowel a woman with long flaxen hair and a red dress.

"Stop it!"

Conan shouted, squatted down to adjust his soccer shoes, and with a flash of light from the sole of his foot, kicked a metal kettle away.

But the lightning bolt I remembered didn't appear; the iron kettle flew through the air for a moment and then fell down.

"Ouch! Ouch! Ouch!"

Conan, sweating profusely, squatted on the ground, clutching his feet, and put on the Pain Mask on the spot.

This is just a game, yet the pain is so realistic! What the hell?!

Feeling the pain in his toes, Conan cursed the entire production team in his mind, but then he realized the key point—his cheat code had been disabled!

Whether it's soccer cleats, Tracking Glasses, or other items, they all become mere decorations in the game world.

Damn it, they actually banned his cheats!

Are you a sore loser?

Conan frowned, watching Jack the Ripper run away, and suddenly felt a wave of weakness in his waist and legs, and his limbs felt limp.

It's too weak...

Since he can no longer participate in item races, he's no different from any other elementary school student now.

He couldn't help but think to himself: If Fujino were here, he would definitely rush up and knock the other person to the ground with a Wooden Sword, and then give him a good beating!

"It's Jack the Ripper!"

"This is the third person already!"

"Hey, go contact Inspector Lestrade right now!"

At this moment, the Londoners who had been drawn by the scream took to the streets and gathered around the body, chattering like a crowd of beeswax, until the police arrived and dispersed them.

"That's the person Jack the Ripper killed?!"

Sonoko peered through the alleyway at the beautiful woman's corpse lying on the ground, surrounded by blood. "That woman really is dead... It's exactly like in real life. Could I be next?!"

As she spoke, she couldn't help but swallow hard. "I heard that guy likes to prey on pretty women!"

Conan turned around. "..."

You're overthinking it, sis?

Even if it's a matter of killing first, shouldn't it be killing Ran first?

"Let's not delay any longer, let's go find that guy Fujino first."

Conan glanced at the crowd and said in a deep voice, "If we run into Jack the Ripper again, we might really be in danger."

Although he was still somewhat reluctant, Conan felt that going to Fujino was indeed the best option under the current circumstances.

No matter what, their current group is just too weak.

If I were to encounter the Ripper again and he were to unravel it, I'd probably be killed instantly.

"But where exactly are we supposed to look?"

Sonoko sighed, "It seems that this London is just like reality... finding it is like looking for a needle in a haystack."

There's nothing we can do about it.

Ran said helplessly, "There's no way to stay here any longer. We can only look for them first. Maybe Fujino- Senior is already looking for us."

"Lestrade."

Conan suddenly spoke up, "Did the patrol officers who just arrived mention Inspector Lestrade?"

"It seems so..."

Ran recalled, "I think I heard Shinichi mention that he's a character from Conan mystery novel, right?"

"It seems that this game blends reality and fiction."

Ai Haibara pondered for a moment, "If that's the case, then there should be that person in this world."

"That's right, Sherlock Holmes."

Conan lowered his eyes and nodded, saying, "If Fujino had also realized this, he would definitely have gone to find Sherlock Holmes as well."

"Why? Will Fujino- Senior really go to see Sherlock Holmes?"

"After all, Brother Fujino is also a detective, and Sherlock Holmes is the object of all detectives' admiration."

"That's right, and if it's Sherlock Holmes, he might be able to lead us to Brother Fujino!"

"Even if we can't find it, Sherlock Holmes can definitely help."

"Very good!"

"Let's hurry to Baker Street!"

Ai Haibara followed behind, silently observing the group discussing the matter.

She looked away, her brows furrowing slightly as she gazed at the dimly lit street, her eyes filled with worry. "Where did you go?"
