Chapter 386: Moriarty, Ghosts of Baker Street (11)

With sparks and lightning all the way (no), the coachman managed to reach the Covent Garden Theater in twenty-five minutes.

Renya Karasuma threw him a fourpence when he got out of the car. He caught it and put it in his pocket, then hurriedly took a bucket to get water to cool down his horse.

Now Karasuma Renya only has two pennies left in her pocket. Even the tip for the theater waiter seems meager, let alone the two-pound ticket.

‘A Midsummer Night’s Dream, it’s a classic that has been sung for centuries, not bad.’ After taking a look at the poster at the entrance of the theater, Karasuma Renye thought with satisfaction, and then Shi Shiran walked around to the side of the theater.

There, he saw a wall of less than two meters, perpendicular to a four-meter-high wall of the building next door.

'I heard that this theater had been burned down and renovated several times, and I was worried whether it had been completely restored for this game.'

Karasuma Renye looked around and saw that no pedestrians noticed him. He stood on tiptoes like a boxer and jumped a few times to move his body. Then he accelerated and stepped towards the right angle of the two walls and jumped over, taking advantage of the walls.

By pedaling left and right at right angles, he easily crossed the wall of Covent Garden and landed on the ground as nimbly as a cat.

I am both skilled and nostalgic at the same time. I met a few bad friends who didn't have much money back then, and I did this kind of thing a lot.

First, we entered the theater through the staff passage, then after passing the bathroom, we openly blended in with the guests entering the theater, and climbed up the stairs to the third floor.

The third floor is a circular corridor. Some guests who can't sit still will walk here to enjoy the performance from different angles. After finding their favorite position, they can lean on the railing to watch the performance.

In fact, according to Renya Karasuma, this is the place with the best viewing angle, which is enough to clearly overlook the entire stage.

Although the auditorium on the first floor has a slope, it is still limited and is equivalent to viewing from the front of the stage.

As for the boxes on both sides of the second floor, they look gorgeous, but they are just showing off their special status to the audience on the first floor. In fact, after sitting there, the guardrails of the boxes will block half of the stage.

Listen to the sound.

Mr. Renye didn't have to wait too long before the performance began.

The drama is very exciting, quite exciting.

After all, this is just a game, not the real world. When the production staff set up this stage, there was no need to spend too much energy on a theater. That is to say, Kudo Yusaku put an easter egg character here, so that there is a program here

Can be performed.

In fact, there are only two plays in this scene, "A Midsummer Night's Dream" and "The Marriage of Figaro". The game's producers referred to two acclaimed performances in modern times and used programs to make them flawless.

It's just a replica.

Until the second act, the heroine on the stage was a one-woman show, and she performed an alto singing.

This is a bit surprising for Karasuma Renya, because this part should not use an alto. Moreover, although the female lead's singing is very good, it still does not achieve the original performance effect. Besides Karasuma Renya's performance,

I also noticed that it was a Japanese face.

This was an interesting phenomenon. He picked up the playbill he picked up after entering the theater and took a look at the names of the actors.

Erin Adler.

I remember this was the name of the character that that old guy Conan Doyle created based on that lady in his novels.

Suddenly, there were a lot of flaws. Karasuma Renya realized that this was an Easter egg character, and from her Japanese appearance, it could be seen that she was a private product of the game producer.

The question is how many such Easter eggs or private goods are there? Holmes? Watson? Or Moriarty?

Oh, yes! This is 1888, the swan song of the Victorian era! In this context, besides Jack the Ripper, of course there must be Sherlock Holmes, right?

Karasuma Renye raised his eyebrows and turned the corners of his mouth downwards. He seemed to be a little impatient. In other words, he wanted to leave the game now and have a real-person PK with the game producer.

At this time, the second act also ended.

The intermission time this time will be longer to give the audience some time to move their bodies and go to the bathroom.

Taking a deep breath to control his emotions, Karasuma Renye picked up the cane leaning on the side and prepared to take a walk to change his mood.

At this time, he noticed that two strong men walked into a private room on the second floor that was originally empty.

There were four seats in a box, but the two strong men did not sit down. Instead, they checked around and leaned out of the guardrail to look outside and below.

Then they returned to the door behind the box and made a respectful gesture. A man who looked to be in his fifties walked into the box and sat down.

The man has short hair and a slightly high hairline, which makes his forehead look wide and big. His face is white and beardless. His deep-set eyes, aquiline nose, and downward-turned corners of his mouth make his complexion look a little gloomy.

He is tall but thin, with a slight hunchback, and wears a black coat outside a black suit.

After the man walked into the box and sat down, the two strong men exited the box and closed the door.

All this fell into the eyes of Karasuma Renye, who seemed to be just a gangster who entered the theater in the middle of the play, and he was a powerful guy with bodyguards.

The problem is that the man's appearance is somewhat familiar to Renya Karasuma.

"Tsk." Renye Karasuma muttered: "I remember that the image he designed for Moriarty was based on the 'Professor' of the 'Raven Society'."

Is it a coincidence? An ordinary NPC happens to look like this.

Or is it that although the game's producers added private goods to Irene Adler, they were very serious about restoring Moriarty?

In any case, since we met by chance, it wouldn't be appropriate not to have some fun, and I would be very sorry for the other person's face.

"Sure enough, the most exciting drama always happens off the stage." Renye Karasuma walked down the stairs.



Professor Moriarty is sitting in his seat waiting for the play to begin.

Suddenly, he heard a burst of collision sounds from outside the door behind him, only four or five times, and then silence returned again.

Only the door of the box was opened, followed by the undisguised sound of footsteps.

"The Social Democrats spent a lot of time trying in vain to educate, agitate and organize the aristocracy to pay attention to the living conditions of the poor in the East End." A young man's voice sounded: "But some completely autonomous genius thought of a good idea.

, he murdered several women and will soon make those fat-headed fools realize that they must do something to bring attention to the poor."

There are four seats in the box, 80 centimeters apart. Moriarty is sitting on the second chair from left to right.

The young man who came in later threw away the broken cane and sat on the third chair unceremoniously: "What do you think of this matter, sir?"

"Who are you?" Moriarty did not panic. He turned around and saw a young man in a black dress, with his felt hat pulled down to cover half of his face.

"Don't be nervous, it's just that you seem to be very knowledgeable, so I want to use this topic as an opening for us." The young man said, "Actually, I am just short of money and want to borrow some money from you.

."

"Everyone in this theater is probably richer than me."

"But the money I borrowed from them has to be repaid, and what I can give is of no value to them." With this said, the young man raised the brim of his hat and looked towards Moriarty.

Seeing the other person's face, Moriarty couldn't help but be surprised: "Sherlock Holmes?"
