People who are famous for their writing are called Yangko stars
"Yangge?"
"star"
Conan was very puzzled and could only look at Qin Zhibo's leaving figure with confusion on his face.
"From now on, are we going to split up?" Mao Lilan approached Conan and asked.
"Yeah" Conan nodded.
After Qin Zhibo leaves, Mao Lilan, the oldest sister, should be the backbone of the team.
But for some unknown reason, Mao Lilan wanted to rely on this little figure wearing glasses.
"Then let's rush to the theater now!" the three little ones interjected.
Conan held the newspaper in his hand and read out the theater address given by Qin Zhibo.
"13 Drury Street, Old Theater"
Without Qin Zhibo, the navigator of all realms, it would not be easy to go to Drury Street.
After Conan, Haibara Ai, and Mao Lilan took turns asking for directions, the group finally found Drury Street in North London.
On the way, several people passed by Big Ben again and saw the numbers on the clock. The minute hand stayed on 10.
This shows that the 10 people currently playing in the London game are the only remaining players.
If all 10 of them are eliminated, they will lose completely.
Conan thought about his game so far, and found that he had never been in a situation where he was almost eliminated.
If it is played by ordinary players, it seems that they can last until this time, right?
But in fact, Conan was wrong.
If it is an ordinary player, when seeing the queen's majestic appearance, a person with 50 Willpower will definitely behave inappropriately in front of the queen.
Even an investigator like Conan, who has a higher will than ordinary people, may make inappropriate noises without anyone reminding him.
In the context of this world, it is a very serious sin to lose etiquette in front of a ruler.
There is no need for a trial. A ruler can kill a human being just as easily as a bed bug.
The time in the game flew by and it was night in a blink of an eye.
The old theater finally opened.
Conan immediately wanted to sneak into the theater through the backstage passage, but was blocked by the staff.
"Hey! No one is allowed to enter this place except related personnel!"
Conan quickly explained, "We are friends of Mr. Holmes and want to find him."
Before Conan could finish what he said, the staff kicked him out angrily.
"Go! The person you are talking about is not here. Let's go!"
"Don't delay our performance!"
Conan and the others were "invited" out, while the three little ones stood aside and vomited.
"Could Holmes not be here?" Mitsuhiko raised his chin and asked suspiciously, "Uncle Qin's clue is wrong?"
Conan shook his head and reasoned: "No, Holmes is here."
"The man's answer just now was 'he's not here', which means he knows Sherlock Holmes."
"He rejected us so much, maybe because he was worried that we were the ones who came to investigate."
Conan still remembered that Sherlock Holmes in this world was an anarchist, and since he murdered the prince, he was naturally a wanted criminal by the authorities.
If Holmes belonged to a gang or an organization, he would be even more careful.
"We can only enter through the main entrance now."
Several people came to the main entrance and went to the ticket office to inquire about the fare.
"Ticket fee is 3,000 yen per person."
Conan looked at the coins in his hand, which totaled no more than 1,000 yen, and quickly raised his head and said cutely, "Uncle, we are all children, can we buy a children's ticket?"
"Children's tickets?" The man selling the tickets snorted disdainfully, "Don't children also occupy a seat?"
"If you don't have money, don't come to the theater. Go and don't delay the guests behind you from buying tickets!"
Social skills (acting cute), failed.
Helpless, Conan could only return it and collect money with others.
However, the initial capital set by the game for each person seems to be based on the number of coins that several people carry with them in reality.
Except for Conan, only Mao Lilan and Sanxiao brought some scattered silver. The total amount was 2,755 yen, and they couldn't even buy a single ticket.
Yuantai looked dissatisfied at the few luxuriously dressed Houlangs, "Aren't your families very rich? Why can't you get any money out?"
The four people in Houlang immediately retorted, "Really rich people don't carry money with them. People of your class cannot understand this."
"What?!" Yuantai was so angry that he blew his nose and glared. He rolled his arms and was about to attack, but luckily he was stopped by Mao Lilan.
"Don't quarrel, everyone. Maybe there are other ways."
Faced with the dilemma, Conan held his chin and began to think.
Unexpectedly, although he got the clue, he was stopped by the ticket money.
A penny really stumps a heroic man!
Conan closed his eyes and thought about what Qin Zhibo would do if he was in this situation now.
Qin Zhibo's figure emerged in the void, smiling harmlessly at Conan.
"Grab it——"
Conan's eyelids drooped, knowing what Qin Zhibo did.
This guy will definitely steal it.
Conan turned his head and glanced at Mao Lilan, and mentally evaluated Mao Lilan's strength.
Although this is in a game, it will also inherit karate techniques from reality.
If Mao Lilan is allowed to grab some money, it shouldn't be a problem.
But if you do this, will you teach children bad things?
And letting Mao Lilan go grab the money makes me feel a little bit unbearable.
In Conan's heart, Mao Lilan is a pure angel with white wings, and is not allowed to be stained with any dirt.
I took the initiative to let Mao Lilan snatch the money, but I felt somewhat conflicted in my heart.
At this time, a voice from the side came faintly.
"I think the equipment made by Dr. A Li should be worth some money, right?"
Conan was stunned for a moment, then turned around to see that Haihara Ai was staring at Conan's glasses with his little hands behind his back.
Conan blushed and responded in a low voice: "It's not like you don't know the reason why I wear these glasses. If I take off my glasses, Xiaolan might recognize me."
Haiyuan Ai shook his head and pointed at Conan's watch, "Can't this also be converted into money?"
"Anyway, watches have no special effects in this game, so why not take them out and sell them."
"This is the only way. Aren't you reluctant to let her rob passers-by?"
Haibara Ai didn't specify who it was, but the only combat power currently was Mao Lilan.
Conan's face turned red again. He didn't expect that Haiyuan Ai could see through his inner thoughts.
At Haibara Ai's suggestion, Conan took off his watch, and several other people also contributed their tradable items.
Mao Lilan's phone, Ayumi's hairpin, Mitsuhiko's eye drops, Genta's bouncy ball, the perfume, tie, small mirror, hairspray, and Haibara Ai's mysterious capsule.
Plus game badges for everyone.
"Hey, Haiyuan."
Looking at the mysterious capsule that Haibara Ai took out, Conan couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "Isn't this a temporary antidote for that?"
Haiyuan Ai nodded matter-of-factly, "Yes."
Conan, who had been seeking medicine several times without success, showed his half-moon eyes and said helplessly: "So you've been carrying it with you all along."
"Just in case of emergency."
After Hui Yuan Ai finished speaking, he added, "But don't even think about it."
Conan: "."
A few people gathered together a bunch of tradable items and immediately set up a stall at the entrance of the theater.
Thanks to Mao Lilan's luck and the hard promotion of several other people, these small commodities, which were quite interesting in this era, were all sold out very quickly.
No one expected that the item with the highest transaction price was Haihara Ai's mysterious capsule.
When promoting the capsule, Haihara Ai said that it was a universal detoxification potion that was carefully refined by mysterious alchemists from the East for seven, seven and forty-nine days, and sold for 10,000 yen.
In this era of underdeveloped information, the far East is often associated with mysticism.
Coupled with the yellow skin and faces of Conan and others, this statement is even more believable.
In this way, the capsule, which was originally priced at 10,000 yen, was snapped up by passers-by and finally sold for 14,500 yen.
Including other sold goods, the total is 24,750 yen, plus the initial capital of 2,755, which is exactly 27,505 yen.
Before the ticket sales stopped, Mao Lilan ran to the ticket office and bought nine tickets with the money she had just collected.
Everyone walked into the theater with fresh tickets and happily.
Only Conan walked behind, standing in line with Haibara Ai.
"When you get out, you can also sell me an antidote~"
"You decide the price."
Faced with Conan's request to go further, Haiyuan Ai threw him away for a month and a half.
"Dah-"
Entering the theater, since several people entered the theater a little late, the seats were located very far back and out of the way.
However, the purpose of these people was not to enjoy the show, but to look for Sherlock Holmes.
Qin Zhibo said that Holmes might be someone like the leader of a theater troupe. After the performance, he could sneak from the auditorium to the backstage to have a look.
Just as Conan was thinking about it, the performance officially began.
The first performance was a cliché comedy of misplaced identities.
The male protagonists are two twins who have never met. They have the same appearance, but they are tricked by a series of coincidences and become engaged to a woman together.
The woman also thought she was engaged to the same man, so she made many hilarious jokes.
When the heroine appeared on the stage, both Mao Lilan and Conan looked shocked.
Mao Lilan pointed to the heroine on the stage and said in surprise: "Isn't that Shinichi's mother?"
Conan:Mom?
The heroine on stage looks almost identical to Kudo Yukiko, even her voice is very similar.
Conan thought carefully and first ruled out that Yukiko had also entered the game.
Since it is a game designed by my father, it is normal for my mother’s image to be used as a game character.
And my mother’s role might be “The woman”.
Conan asked the audience in the front seat and his thoughts were confirmed.
"The heroine is Irene Adler. You don't even know this, so why are you still coming to the show?"
Conan really couldn't laugh or cry when he learned that "Yukiko" was Irene Adler.
Since Irene is in this theater, it is more likely that Holmes is also in this theater.
And Holmes most likely is.
The comedy performance in the first act ended, with some band performances and clown rap songs interspersed, and then the performance of the second act began.
The second scene tells the story of an orphan girl who sold greenhouse violets and died of hunger and cold on a snowy night.
Eventually, the girl's grandmother recognized her as the baby kidnapped by bandits ten years ago, but it was too late.
This is a tragedy.
After watching Conan, I felt okay and didn't feel too emotionally disturbed. I just felt that this drama was a bit like a replica of "The Little Match Girl".
As a detective, no matter whether it is pain or sadness, I will never shed tears, and I will not believe in tears easily.
On the other hand, Mao Lilan and the three little ones next to them felt very uncomfortable after watching it. Mao Lilan and Ayumi even wiped the tears from the corners of their eyes with handkerchiefs more than once.
Including Haihara Ai, who was usually very cold, Conan quietly observed her, and there was actually a sparkle in the corners of her eyes.
As for that?
Conan, whose tear glands were sealed, couldn't understand.
At the end of the second show, the troupe presented some traditional performances in the interlude, including clowns, acrobats, and actors wearing animal skins pretending to be animals, with bears riding bicycles and the like.
After the fun is over, the third act begins.
This is a historical drama.
The time was seven hundred years ago, and all the actors in the troupe acted as residents of a seaside fishing village.
One day, they fished and rested as usual.
A huge shape suddenly rose from the distant sea.
The madman in the village cheered and announced to the villagers.
"As the prophecy indicated, the ancient gods have arrived!"
"They come from Ruilei City, from the dark city of Carcosa, and from the Cold Plateau!"
"They returned to our world from those places where they slept, waited, and spent their long hours of death!"
Next, there are some scattered dramas.
A muscular man, acting as a priest of the gods in ancient Rome, declared that the giant figures in the sea were monsters and demons that must be destroyed.
In order to fight against the "ancient gods", the ancient Roman emperor announced the construction of a gladiatorial arena to release what the monks called the "forbidden power" in an attempt to create the most powerful fighter.
However, when the gladiator contest reached its climax, the followers of the "Old God" rebelled.
They beat the priests to death with crosses, overthrew the rule of the ancient Roman emperor, and prepared for the coming of the "old gods".
The saint among the believers began to recite sweet and moving hymns, summoning the eternal "ancient gods".
Under the magical stage lighting effects, the figure of an "ancient god" passed over the stage that symbolized the sky.
Queen of Britain, with a majestic figure and green tentacles.
The Black Lord of Egypt, whose dark skin reveals an indescribable attraction.
The ancient goat had hooves for standing under its huge lumpy body.
The father of all snakes, a half-snake and half-man covered in scales.
The Yellow Emperor of China wears a ragged yellow robe and a pale mask.
When Mao Lilan saw the yellow figure floating by the corner of the stage, her eyes instantly dilated and her body became stiff and unable to move.
It's Him!
It's Him!
In countless dreams of New York, that yellow figure chased me like a nightmare.
Mao Lilan never dreamed that she could still see the terrifying yellow nightmare here.
"ah--!"
