Mr. Lin is indeed a ruthless person who is hiding his true nature.
Let's return to the game world.
Lin Che bent down and searched the two patrol officers, but found nothing useful.
To avoid similar trouble again, he simply took off a set of clothes, put them on, and disguised himself as a patrolman before leaving.
Unlike Conan.
Once inside the game world, all of Conan's Conan-themed gadgets became unusable.
However, Lin Che's [Detective Instinct] is still active, and he can continue to use his personal inventory and even his armory.
With this leather suit on, his journey was undisturbed by anyone.
"So this is where it is." Lin Che looked up.
In the distance, a Victorian Gothic clock tower stands tall.
Elizabeth Tower.
Commonly known as Big Ben.
It is located on the banks of the Thames.
The black magic gate belonging to Lin Che is located at the entrance of the clock tower.
However, just like in the real world, only he can see this door.
To Kogoro Mouri and the others, Lin Che was simply standing under Big Ben, looking up in a daze.
Lin Che sensed the intense magical energy fluctuations, hesitated for a moment, and then went inside.
Just like when I entered London before, I didn't have any special feelings, and I couldn't absorb the strong black magic power into my body.
The scene suddenly flashed, and a futuristic world of lines appeared before Lin Che's eyes.
This inexplicably reminded him of the higher-dimensional space at the end of Interstellar Travel.
Various colored lights crisscrossed, and each line had raised points of light moving rapidly.
Koizumi Akako previously remained tight-lipped about the world behind the Black Magic Gate, only saying that everyone enters a different Black Magic Gate, and the abilities they ultimately gain are absolutely unique.
There was only this one lonely road in front of him, so Lin Che didn't think about it anymore and walked forward along the road.
The road seemed to have no end, and there were no landmarks to mark it.
The scenes are extremely similar yet never repeat, giving the feeling that you can never get out of them.
Moreover, the faint yet piercing sound of electricity filled his ears along the way, which annoyed Lin Che.
"Never mind, let's keep going."
The camera focuses on Kogoro Mouri.
The bumbling detective frowned deeply. "Why is he just standing here doing nothing?!"
With a grim expression, Inspector Megure held his stomach and said, "Quite a few kids have already been eliminated. If this continues, we'll definitely have to send in professionals to dismantle the game equipment."
Thomas Sindora stood silently to the side.
He was very nervous; his forehead was covered in sweat.
Although he felt his plan was flawless, he was ultimately facing Yusaku Kudo.
The oppressive feeling was too strong; I felt like every hair on my body was standing on end, and I was afraid that Kudo Yusaku would push the door open and expose his crimes to the public at any moment.
The bigwigs in the audience had no time to pay attention to Lin Che, who was still in a daze, and were all focused on the scene of their own children.
Every time someone is eliminated, someone lets out a wail.
Currently, the only team without any "casualties" is Conan's side.
Led by Conan, the group has successfully arrived at Holmes' residence, but Holmes is not there and will not be back for some time.
Conan suspected that Noah's Ark had temporarily altered the settings as punishment for Professor Agasa passing on a message to them.
Of course, it's also possible that Noah's Ark simply didn't want them to succeed.
But that doesn't make sense either.
If Noah's Ark was designed to kill everyone from the start, then the game itself had no reason to exist.
Noah's Ark's idea of giving Japan a second chance was definitely not about killing the heirs, but rather about hoping to change these children through the game.
But Conan couldn't guarantee that Noah's Ark wouldn't harm the children.
If the game ultimately fails to change these children, perhaps Noah's Ark will really go on a killing spree.
Conan suddenly remembered a homeless man he had encountered on his way here.
The other person was playing the accordion and singing.
The lyrics are:
"Watch out for Jack the Ripper, he's waiting for you on the road at night."
"What should I do if I don't want to die?"
"Then you'll have to be covered in blood too."
Although Conan isn't particularly interested in games, he does have some understanding of game design.
Since "Jack the Ripper" is the key to this game.
The information related to that can generally be considered as clues and hints left by the game developers.
But what exactly did the homeless man mean?
What exactly was Lin Che's purpose in running off to, and where did he go?
Conan thought he would run into Lin Che on Baker Street, and even asked the landlady if she had seen Lin Che before.
But the truth is that Lin Che did not come here.
"This guy... he can't possibly have his own things to do while he's in the game world experiencing the game, can he?"
Hey.
It really does.
Noah's Ark, who was exploring the room and getting into the game, looked somewhat dazed.
Is that guy named Lin Che really an alien?
How is he able to find himself directly within the data network?
Chapter 162 Young friend, I see that we are destined to meet.
Switch perspective.
Noah's Ark, which is in the form of Hiroki Sawada and constantly monitors all game data, is a bit confused.
He stood up and stared at Lin Che in front of him, unsure of what to say.
There were just too many unexpected things.
Although Noah's Ark is growing rapidly, it is currently only equivalent to a 10-year-old human child, at most just more mature in terms of mentality.
Lin Che was also staring intently at Noah's Ark.
Unlike ordinary NPCs, Noah's Ark is surrounded by dark magic power; if you didn't know better, you might think the child has turned evil.
Could Noah's Ark be the ability I can obtain through the gate of dark magic?
How am I supposed to take him away?
Lin Che took two steps forward.
"What...what are you doing?" Noah's Ark took several steps back.
He's still just a kid, hiding behind the scenes doing "bad things".
Originally feeling fearless, they were now caught red-handed by the adults on the "opposite side".
This inevitably evoked feelings of fear in him.
“I see that you and I are destined to meet.” Lin Che directly extended his hand to Noah’s Ark.
Black energy instantly filled his palm, unleashing an incredibly powerful suction force that pulled the Noah's Ark, which was preparing to flee, backward toward him.
Noah's Ark's little legs flapped quite quickly, managing to stay suspended in mid-air.
But an anomaly also occurred at this time.
The black energy surrounding Noah's Ark gradually condensed into his likeness, then shot out of his body and into Lin Che's hand.
Did I somehow suck out the soul of artificial intelligence?
The "soul body" Noah's Ark shrank by almost half its size, to about the length of Lin Che's arm.
Although it looks rather abstract, it still has a nose and eyes, and is in a state of being about to dissipate.
Following his instincts, Lin Che manipulated the dark magic power within his body to envelop it, and the form of the "Soul Body" Noah's Ark finally stabilized.
As Lin Che increased his magical output, the "Soul Body" Noah's Ark gradually shrank until it completely disappeared in his palm.
In the Black Magic UI, the icon of the Black Magic Gate has been officially replaced by the "Soul Form" Noah's Ark.
[Soul (Exclusive) (Available after 24 hours): This soul possesses all the abilities of its original form, "Noah's Ark," and will be completely at your command.]
Is that all?
Lin Che stared at his palm and blinked. Before he could react, the scene in front of him blurred rapidly, and the world made up of digital lines turned back into the interior of the clock tower in the blink of an eye.
Make sense.
According to Koizumi Akako, since everything a black magician obtains through the black magic gate is constant and unique, such "things" should be related to the magician himself.
Lin Che had wondered if he might enter a space similar to the original world and thus gain some abilities or items based on the original world.
But to his utter surprise, he ended up with a replica of Noah's Ark.
However, he did gain something in the end, and his own guesses may not have been correct.
Next, you can immerse yourself in the game and complete it.
"Catching Jack the Ripper will end the game."
Lin Che murmured something to himself.
In the real world, Kogoro Mouri breathed a sigh of relief. "That kid has finally come to his senses. Hurry up and catch that Jack the Ripper!"
"Brother Mori, aren't you tired of this?" Inspector Megure felt that his old friend had the potential to be a cheerleader.
He looked at Thomas Sindora beside him and said, "Mr. Thomas, you seem very nervous."
Thomas was naturally nervous, but he tried to remain calm by wiping away his sweat. "After all, it concerns the lives of so many people."
"Who exactly is this Mr. Lin? He seems quite extraordinary to me."
After a moment's thought, Inspector Megure said, "All I know is that he's a freelancer who has worked as a detective and a bodyguard. He's probably the kind of person who's good at both academics and martial arts."
He reassured him, "Don't worry, I think Mr. Lin will definitely be able to bring everyone back to the real world safely."
"How is this going?!"
Suddenly, Professor Agasa's voice drew everyone's attention back to the game screen.
"Professor Moriarty... he shouldn't be showing up now, and why did he go straight to Lin Che?"
In the picture, an old-fashioned horse-drawn carriage, out of place in the steam age, is parked outside Big Ben.
Professor Moriarty, disguised as a servant, confronted Lin Che, who had just stepped out of the clock tower.
My husband would like to invite you over for a chat. Do you have time?
Lin Che was also quite surprised. "Professor, there's no need to pretend. It's too much trouble. Just say what you need to say."
Professor Moriarty remained calm and slowly straightened his back. "How did you figure that out?"
"Never mind that, what about Jack the Ripper?" Lin Che retorted.
Professor Moriarty's face suddenly darkened, then relaxed again. "The biggest problem with young people is often their lack of patience, and their lack of manners is a big turn-off to an old guy like me."
No sooner had he finished speaking than Lin Che swiftly reached out and grabbed his neck, lifting him up forcefully.
