"Obsessed with killing? Heh, what I'm doing isn't something so shortsighted."
"Jack the Ripper" rose to his feet, the short knife in his hand flashing coldly. In the loftiest manner, he delivered the message Noah truly wanted to convey to the outside world: "I want the sinful blood within me to ride Noah's Ark into the next generation—this is the mission of a genius, even a criminal genius."
Hearing the line it had painstakingly polished for so long, one that both hinted at Schindler's lineage and carried a certain poetic flair, Noah let out a satisfied sigh of relief.
Then it returned to its role as "Moroboshi Hideki," snorted through its nose, and pointed at "Jack the Ripper" in mockery:
"A genius? More like an idiot! You tied her to yourself—if she falls off the train, won't you fall too? Then victory will be ours!"
Mouri Ran, who had been tied up like a zongzi: "!"
She had already been feeling guilty for dragging down her teammates yet again.
But upon hearing "Moroboshi Hideki's" words, Mouri Ran felt as though enlightenment had struck her. Sherlock Holmes and Moriarty's duel at Reichenbach Falls suddenly flashed through her mind—Holmes smiling as he said, "If I can be certain of destroying you, for the public good, I would gladly welcome death," before rolling down the cliff with Moriarty.
The next second, Mouri Ran shifted to the edge of the train without hesitation, tears in her eyes as she jumped toward the canyon below.
Conan: "...!!" They needed someone on the train to help uncouple the cars! Ran!!
Though she was a slender girl, she still weighed as much as an eighteen-year-old human.
As Mouri Ran plummeted rapidly toward the cliff beside the tracks, the rope between her and Matsuda Jinpei quickly tightened.
