The zombie dogs, swift in action and exuding an aura of plague, are the result of the necromancer's hard work!
Riding enhanced, jet-black warhorses and dressed in English army uniforms, these are the transformed forms of the cavalry regiments of the London garrison!
When these diverse undead creatures join the battlefield.
The London garrison's defenses were beginning to crumble.
Having witnessed all sorts of ferocious and malevolent undead creatures, the atmosphere of fear in London has spread to every area.
Even the morale of the army suffered a great blow.
Especially after artillery became ineffective against those thick-skinned, tough-looking abominations, some even possessing special powers.
Roar--!
As a ferocious bone dragon, over twenty meters long and composed entirely of white bones, flew across the sky—
The London residents, who had initially felt somewhat reassured by the presence of the army, instantly collapsed. Their will shattered by fear, they began to flee frantically, disrupting the London garrison's defenses. The undead army seized the opportunity and stormed into West London!
The undead scourge has grown to over 100,000.
While still relatively small compared to London's nearly six million inhabitants, over a hundred thousand is more than the city's garrison. As for the civilians, they pose absolutely no threat to the undead scourge and offer no resistance whatsoever.
10 Downing Street.
The hit TV show "Yes, Prime Minister" is right; the government's efficiency in this country is almost negative.
At a time when the undead calamity has already surrounded Buckingham Palace, where the royal family resides, and the area encompassing Whitehall, where government offices are located, the bigwigs of the House of Commons and the House of Lords have yet to discuss how to deal with this disaster!
And in a luxurious mansion near Westminster Palace.
Professor Moriarty was no longer calm.
Intelligence kept coming in from the outside.
He paced back and forth in the hall, his originally sinister eyes now filled with suspicion and uncertainty.
He was somewhat relieved after the London garrison held off the undead army's invasion outside West London.
However, now that the undead have evolved and breached the security defenses, he is greatly alarmed.
After all, although he was a cunning villainous boss whom even Sherlock Holmes dared not underestimate, he was no different from an ordinary human when faced with this cataclysmic invasion of the undead—just as extremely vulnerable.
"professor?"
Conan and his friends had just returned to Professor Moriarty's house, which was currently relatively safe. Conan, focused on their ultimate goal, wasn't too concerned about the undead plague outside, and instead quickly asked:
Where is Jack the Ripper?
"Jack?"
Professor Moriarty looked at the child in front of him with surprise and asked in confusion, "The outside world is already in such a mess, are you still looking for Jack?"
“That’s right!” Conan nodded seriously.
We must find Jack the Ripper!
"Why?" Professor Moriarty was even more puzzled.
"Because, as long as Jack the Ripper is found, this disaster outside will end!"
Conan looked firmly into Moriarty's gloomy eyes and said the reason, word by word.
There's not much time left to negotiate with this villainous boss; we need to find Jack the Ripper quickly!
Moreover, Professor Moriarty is now helpless in the face of the situation outside, and he will grasp at any straw that offers a way out.
Moreover, Jack the Ripper was just a sharp blade in his hand that was no longer under his control, so it was no big deal if he lost it!
"Are you lying to me?"
Moriarty's eyes were cold.
Sensing their master's malice, the soldiers guarding the area surrounded them with guns drawn.
The other children were trembling with fear.
Conan, however, remained very calm.
The three members of the Junior Detective League, though a little scared, bravely stood beside Conan. Ayumi, mustering her courage, looked at Professor Moriarty and shouted, "Conan is telling the truth! As long as we find Jack the Ripper, the game will—"
"Cough cough!"
Conan coughed lightly to interrupt Ayumi's spoiler and continued the conversation: "Professor, Jack the Ripper is just a pawn to you. Why don't you give it a try? If those undead break through the whole of London, all your ambitions will be wasted!"
"Haha~"
Professor Moriarty didn't dwell on how Conan knew his secrets; these children were behaving remarkably well, perhaps they could be trusted to some extent.
"I'll summon Jack right now!"
"Great!"
A hint of joy appeared on Conan's face, and the children behind him cheered. As long as Jack the Ripper was found, this thrilling and exciting game would be over!
...
the other side.
Xia Ye walked through the area occupied by the undead army.
Sudden--
Something on the street that appeared to be a loudspeaker emitted a short, strange noise, followed by a long, strange noise, before finally falling silent.
"Moriarty is summoning Jack the Ripper~"
Xia Ye knew, of course, that Conan had gotten together with Professor Moriarty. Despite his great admiration for Sherlock Holmes, the boy was also very interested in Professor Moriarty, Holmes's greatest rival. Given Professor Moriarty's important status, it was perfectly normal for him to go to see the professor.
but--
Jack the Ripper operates in the Whitechapel area of East London, which is where the undead scourge first broke out. Although Jack the Ripper seems to have escaped the scourge, how can he, alone, get through the layers of undead to reach West London?
Xia Ye smiled and shook her head.
I didn't pay any attention to it.
He strolled into a luxurious theater.
The theater was not haunted by the undead, or rather, because of one person, Xia Ye stopped the undead from attacking the theater!
Inside the theater, the guests who had come to see the opera were huddled in various corners, their expressions filled with fear.
On the other hand, on the stage, a stunningly beautiful woman in a gorgeous and elegant long dress stood there. Although her face was pale, she seemed relatively calm.
Da da da--
The sound of footsteps broke the eerie atmosphere.
Everyone stared in surprise as Xia Ye walked in from outside, wanting to ask about the situation outside, but too afraid to approach.
Xia Ye ignored them and walked straight onto the stage.
"who are you?"
Eileen Adler sounded puzzled:
"Outside—uh!"
Xia Ye put his arm around her slender waist, lowered his head, and silenced her question.
Yusaku Kudo, the scriptwriter, had his own personal touches; this character, Irene Adler, looks exactly like Yukiko.
Moreover, she possessed an elegance and tranquility that Yukiko rarely displayed, making it impossible for Natsume to resist—
Yeah, it feels really good!
Noah's Ark even simulated this very realistically.
I just don't know if we can go any further?
"Alright, come with me!"
Xia Ye looked away from Eileen Adler, whose eyes were still glazed over, and smiled as she looked at her still luscious red lips.
"who are you?"
Eileen Adler finally asked the question that had been on her mind.
"I?"
Xia Ye glanced around, a mischievous smile playing on his lips:
"I am the creator of this undead calamity!"
"He's also the hero who can save you!"
"what?!"
Eileen Adler and the guests huddled in the corner were instantly stunned. This seemingly handsome and sunny young man was actually the culprit behind this disaster?!
however--
Just as the people in the audience were about to ask questions.
Xia Ye and Eileen Adler on stage vanished into thin air, and then—
The voices of the dead echoed again from outside the theater.
...
Soon after.
Xia Ye walked out of a nobleman's mansion.
And in the bedroom of the mansion.
Eileen Adler has fallen into a deep sleep.
"Sigh, it's very realistic in every way, it's just a bit of a shame we can't go to the final step~"
I tried it myself.
Xia Ye pushed Eileen Adler to her limits...
That makes sense, though. It's not like it's butter. He's already quite satisfied with how it turned out.
ponder for a moment.
Xia Ye turned and walked towards the border between East and West London. There, the spirits of the dead were emitting fluctuations of consciousness. A very skilled person was trying to break through the spirits' defenses and enter West London from East London.
That must be Jack the Ripper.
Otherwise, apart from a mentally unstable guy like him, who else would recklessly charge into a defensive line composed of nearly ten thousand undead just because of an order?
Xia Ye didn't plan to see Professor Moriarty and Conan. Conan was one thing; he'd probably already guessed she was the cause of the disaster. The real concern was Ayumi. If she knew how evil her brother Xia Ye was, she'd be heartbroken.
So, let's end it here!
...
At Professor Moriarty's mansion.
Everyone was waiting anxiously.
Waiting for news from outside and for Jack the Ripper to arrive.
Sudden--
"Hideki Moroboshi" was slightly taken aback.
A look of helplessness appeared on his face.
The condition for ending the game has been met...
The next moment.
Professor Moriarty and the soldiers in the living room seemed to have been put on pause.
The camera pans up, and the entire city of London, including the rampaging Scourge and the panicked populace, falls into a state of stillness. Then—
All the players involved in the game suddenly went black.
When I regained consciousness, I was back at the beginning of it all—the plaza where I chose the game!
However, now only Natsume, Hideki Moroboshi, and Conan remain in this plaza!
After Conan spoke with "Hideki Moroboshi," he learned the truth about the genius boy Hiroki. Then, Noah's Ark, now reverting to Hiroki's appearance, began to bid farewell to Conan.
