Chapter 95 - Return to Reality

Following the clues provided by Sherlock Holmes Boo, Conan and his group immediately rushed to the East District Pier.

After finding the charging station for Bangboo, Conan quickly formulated a plan, having everyone ambush Jack the Ripper Boo and, when he started charging, swarm him and subdue him.

Time passed by, and after a few scene changes, the in-game time reached late night.

Just as Genta was about to complain about being hungry, a shadowy figure stumbled into view.

It was Jack the Ripper Boo!

He was moving slowly, clearly running low on power.

Everyone's spirits lifted, and they held their breath, waiting for Jack the Ripper Boo's next move.

Jack the Ripper Boo cautiously looked around, and after confirming there was no danger, he shuffled to a charging station, pulled down his pants, aligned the charging port on his back with the protrusion on the station, and then sat down.

A very satisfied charging symbol appeared in his eyes.

"Now!" Conan shouted.

Before he could even lead the charge, the children of the elite, led by Moroboshi Hideki, scrambled to pounce on Jack the Ripper Boo, who was charging and almost unable to move.

"Grab him!"

"Don't let him escape!"

"The credit is ours!"

They easily pinned him to the ground and tied him up with ropes they had prepared earlier.

"Haha! We got him!" Moroboshi Hideki triumphantly stepped on Jack the Ripper Boo, "What Jack the Ripper? He's nothing much! We've cleared the game now!"

The other second-generation rich kids also cheered excitedly, as if victory was already in their grasp.

Conan, Ran, and the others emerged from their hiding spots, watching the scene and feeling that it seemed too easy.

Just then, red light flashed in Jack the Ripper Boo's eyes again, and he cried out, "Mmm-hmm! Mmm-hmm! (Help!)"

Just as everyone thought the game was about to end, from the other two charging stations behind Jack the Ripper Boo...

One on the left, one on the right, two slightly larger Bangboos crawled out.

One of these Bangboos was wearing a pitch-black trench coat and had long silver hair.

The other Bangboo was also dressed in black, wearing sunglasses, and had a fierce expression.

Their appearances were clearly Gin and Vodka!

Conan's eyes widened.

Why were there a Gin Boo and Vodka Boo in this game too? Could it be that this virtual reality game was also connected to the Black Organization?

"..."

The moment Haibara Ai saw Gin Boo, her 'winery radar' went off frantically, and she trembled with a pale face.

"Mmm-hmm, mmm-hmm! (Useless trash!)"

Gin Boo raised his arms, one arm transformed into a propeller, and the other into a revolver.

Vodka Boo also extended his arms, which transformed into a multi-barrel rotary cannon.

"Run!!!" Conan screamed at the top of his lungs.

But it was too late!

Bang bang bang!

Da da da da—!

Bullets rained down.

The unprepared second-generation rich kids were mercilessly slaughtered, their screams rising and falling.

"Ahhh!"

"Help!"

"I don't want to die!"

Moroboshi Hideki and the others had no time to react and were directly eliminated, disappearing as streaks of white light in the game world.

"Ai-chan!" Ayumi tried to pull Haibara Ai, who was frozen in place, but Mitsuhiko and Genta desperately dragged her behind a container.

"No! The firepower is too intense!" Mitsuhiko shouted anxiously.

Seeing that Haibara Ai was about to be eliminated.

"Hah—!"

Ran shouted, leaping out from behind cover and delivering a chop to Gin Boo's propeller.

Gin Boo fell to the ground on the spot, sparks flying as electricity leaked from his body.

Immediately after, she spun around and delivered a beautiful roundhouse kick, slamming it into Vodka Boo's round belly.

She kicked him flying.

"Conan! Now!" Ran yelled, and with another punch, she made a hole in Vodka Boo, who had just gotten up.

Conan didn't hesitate for a moment, seizing the opportunity to motion to Genta and Mitsuhiko, who used their weight to firmly hold down Jack the Ripper Boo.

Jack the Ripper Boo had little power left, and after struggling for a while, the red light in his eyes completely extinguished, and he stopped moving.

Noahs Ark weakly announced. Jack the Ripper Boo has been eliminated. The London scenario has been successfully cleared.

All players will log out in 10 seconds. 10, 9, 8...

"We... we succeeded..." Ran collapsed to the ground, breathing heavily.

Conan also let out a sigh of relief, looking at Ran with admiration... In the real world, Beika City Hall.

All of the "Cocoon" game pods simultaneously emitted a soft glow, and their lids slowly opened.

The children's consciousness returned, and they all sat up, looking bewildered.

"Wahhh! My child!"

"Hideki! Are you alright?!"

The parents, who had been frantic with worry, swarmed forward, excitedly embracing their children and checking if they were safe and sound.

However, soon, a strange smell began to emanate from the area where the second-generation rich kids were.

"Huh? What's that smell?"

"It's... it's so smelly..."

Everyone followed the smell and saw that Moroboshi Hideki and the other previously arrogant second-generation rich kids all had yellow stains on their pants... Moroboshi Hideki was the worst.[1]

Genta was closer to Moroboshi Hideki and instinctively pointed at the other's pants, pinching his nose and shouting, "Wow! Were you guys that scared? We're perfectly fine."

The scene immediately fell silent.

The parents who had previously indulged these second-generation rich kids, who had been so arrogant, now looked incredibly embarrassed.

On the other side, Kudo Yusaku was also busy, having deduced that the murderer of Kashimura was Thomas Schindler, the president of the Schindler Inc.

The motive was to cover up the shocking secret Kashimura had discovered. President Schindler was a descendant of Jack the Ripper. The case was thus solved.

The incident finally settled down.

The crowd began to disperse.

Ran looked at Kudo Yusaku, who was talking to Dr. Agasa, hesitated for a moment, and then walked over.

"Uncle Yusaku," Ran politely began, "How long will you be staying in Japan this time?"

Kudo Yusaku smiled gently. "I should be staying for a while to take care of some things."

"Then... if you're free in three days,"

Ran mustered her courage to extend an invitation,

"I'd like to invite you and Shinichi to have a casual meal at my house. Dad would also really like to see you."

Kudo Yusaku was slightly surprised but quickly agreed happily. "Alright, then I'll be imposing. It's been a long time since I've had a drink with Brother Mouri. But as for Shinichi, I can't guarantee he'll be able to make it."

Conan, standing nearby, watched the scene, feeling a chill and a bad premonition.
