Chapter 251 The City of Mist
"Tch, you guys chose this one too?"
Hideki Moroboshi led the group to the door, only to find Yu Asakawa and his friends also standing there, waiting for the game to begin.
"Don't get in our way!" the companion in blue mocked, pointing at Genta's nose.
Yuan Tai retorted sarcastically, "That's exactly what I wanted to say!"
"Alright, alright, stop arguing!"
"Heh, people like you... Ugh!"
The child was about to say something, but after being glared at by Asakawa Yu, he swallowed hard and immediately swallowed his words.
"Right now, we're all in the same boat. Only by working together can we survive. If you continue like this in the later games, I won't mind sending you back first."
Asakawa Yu said this calmly, but the listener took it to heart.
Threatened by Asakawa Yu, the group of people who had been sulking just moments before instantly lost their temper and obediently followed behind the group, not daring to breathe loudly.
This isn't the real world; they don't have elders or family to back them up.
Moreover, Asakawa Yu never indulged them in the first place, and they were still in the game world. If they continued like this, they felt that Asakawa Yu might actually do something like eliminating them prematurely.
Among these people, only Moroboshi Hideki had a somber expression, watching Asakawa Yu's retreating figure ahead, his thoughts unreadable.
Asakawa Yu knew that these children were not bad at heart, but they had not yet experienced a beating and were unable to properly adjust their attitude and get along with others.
Asakawa Yu's intention was simply to teach them a lesson. Anyway, no one would die in this game, so it could be considered as a training exercise for Conan and the others.
Meanwhile, the real world.
"Doctor, how is it?"
Professor Agasa's hands flew across the keyboard as he rapidly searched for information.
His expression was serious. "There is indeed a considerable amount of energy stored inside the cocoon, and that energy..."
He turned around, drenched in sweat, and looked at the crowd behind him, saying, "Enough to destroy the brains of 50 people!"
At this moment, some of the people in the audience could no longer bear to watch and were preparing to forcibly step forward and take their children out.
But they soon learned a lesson from Noah's Ark.
The cocoon emitted a strong electric current, which shocked the adults who were nearby, causing them to fall to the ground in agony.
Even if the doctor wanted to remind him, it was already too late.
"No one is allowed to interfere with the game!"
The warning from Noah's Ark rang out over the loudspeaker, warning everyone that if there were any improper actions, it would not be so lenient.
"Damn it! How could there be such a person!" Kogoro Mouri clenched his fists, looking at the arrogant Noah's Ark, feeling a surge of anger with nowhere to vent it.
"Conan and the others have entered the Whitechapel area!"
As the doctor's voice rang out, everyone turned their attention to the screen.
The location displayed there was the whereabouts of Conan and his group.
"Oh right, I remember Asakawa went in too, right?!" Mori suddenly remembered this, his eyes gleaming with excitement.
"Yes, with Yu here, the chances of clearing the game are much higher," Professor Agasa agreed.
Yusaku Kudo nodded as well; he was also very confident in the enigmatic young man.
Furthermore, Conan once told him that Asakawa Yu was one of the best in both physical ability and reasoning ability.
After witnessing it with his own eyes, he confirmed that what Conan said was true.
But now their main stage is in the game; can they really clear the game safely?
Even with all their confidence in Asakawa Yu, they couldn't be 100% certain, because surprises often come even faster.
After passing through the white gate, the group was transformed, arriving directly from the world of stone pillars into a fog-filled London.
Asakawa Yu sniffed the air and frowned slightly.
So I was prepared, but when I actually arrived here, the air quality was still unacceptable.
Mingmei stood beside him, looking at the strange surroundings, and couldn't help but shrink closer to him.
"Is this London? It really does look like..."
Akemi didn't say those two words, but Ai Haibara took over the conversation.
"It's less about romance and more about the bizarre."
“Mmm!” Akemi nodded, indicating her agreement with Ai Haibara’s words.
"It seems like even the air is dirty." Ayumi said.
"The air in London isn't just clean matter formed from condensed water vapor; it's also the soot produced by burning coal and oil," Conan explained.
"what!!!"
The next second, a scream came from not far away, frightening all the children present.
Even Akemi took the opportunity to tighten her grip on Asakawa Yu's hand, while Haibara Ai cautiously looked toward the direction from which the sound came.
"It's Jack the Ripper!"
The next second, Conan rushed out, wanting to find him before he could commit the crime.
Wow! Conan really adapts quickly.
I have to say, this guy is incredibly brave.
[Playing on home turf, how can we be afraid? doge]
Seeing Conan's reckless behavior, Asakawa Yu sighed and then released Akemi's hand.
"You and Xiaolan take these children, I'll go after him first."
After saying that, Asakawa Yu turned and ran, chasing after the direction Conan had disappeared in.
When Conan arrived, a woman was already lying on the ground, and in front of her stood a man wearing a cloak whose face was obscured.
"Stop!" Is this Jack the Ripper?!
As Conan was thinking this, the next second, the instant he heard Conan's voice, Jack the Ripper turned and ran, so fast that Conan couldn't react in time.
"Damn it! Don't even think about running!"
Conan spun his power-enhancing shoes and kicked an empty can on the ground.
"boom!"
After the jar was kicked away, it didn't fly away as quickly as Conan had imagined; instead, it fell straight down.
"Hiss~ It hurts!"
Newton: England is my home turf!
Newton thought to himself, "Now this is finally under my control."
I thought we could bring these props in too.
When Asakawa Yu arrived, Jack the Ripper was nowhere to be seen, leaving only Conan standing there clutching his foot and crying out in pain.
"Conan! Are you alright?!"
Before long, Mingmei and Xiaolan and the others also came over.
"It seems that Dr. Agasa's invention cannot be used in this world."
Ai Haibara glanced at Conan's shoes and made her judgment.
