Chapter 118 An unexpected discovery

This old London not only has Jack the Ripper, but also the story of Sherlock Holmes.

Unfortunately, Jack the Ripper had the corresponding genetic data and was directly transformed into a Digimon, but Holmes was just a simple NPC and was not qualified to form a Digimon.

221 Baker Street, this is Holmes' address.

This is also where Li Jie and others are at the moment.

Mao Lilan walked up and knocked on the door.

Not long after, a woman's voice came from inside the door: "Who is it?"

Mao Lilan said: "We want to see Mr. Holmes."

The door opened, and a blonde woman opened it. Although there were traces of time on her face, she was still a beautiful woman with a dignified temperament.

She said, "Mr. Holmes and Dr. Watson are away on business."

"On business trip?"

"Yes, they went to Dartmore."

"Excuse me, what day is today?"

"September 30th... I see. It's the Hound of the Baskervilles incident."

Conan had no choice but to go into the house and use detective methods to look for clues about Jack the Ripper in Holmes' house.

Mao Lilan, Haibara Ai, Ayumi, Mitsuhiko, Genta and others helped in the search.

Li Jie gradually stood aside and contacted HolyAngemon.

"Sintra has a connection to the Digital World?"

After learning this, Li Jie became more certain that Jack the Ripper's genetic data had turned into a Digimon in the digital world.

In addition to them, there are four other children who enter this story of old London - Hideki Moroboshi, Susumu Takizawa, Akira Emori, and Seiichiro Kikukawa.

These people are either the grandsons of the deputy commissioner of the Metropolitan Police Department, the sons of politicians from the ruling party, or the grandsons of the presidents of chaebol banks.

In short, you are either rich or noble, and at a young age you have resources that ordinary people cannot obtain through their lifetime efforts.

However, that was the time of this human world.

In this old London built in the digital world, they are just human beings.

"Hideki, they have stolen all the limelight."

The little fat boy Jiang Shouxiang said to Moroboshi Hideki.

As a wealthy family, they used to be high and mighty, but now they seemed like insignificant little characters, and this feeling of disparity made him feel uncomfortable.

Zhu Xingxiushu glanced at Li Jie, then looked at Conan, and said disdainfully: "It's just that one can fight and the other can reason. It's no big deal."

Jiang Shouhuang calmed down after hearing this and said with a smile: "That's true. In the outside world, being able to fight and reason is nothing. Being able to make money is what matters."

He regained his confidence, walked up to Li Jie, and said, "Hey, be my bodyguard."

Li Jie didn't even turn his head, but said calmly: "I am protecting you now, don't take things you shouldn't take, keep quiet, and then you will be taken through."

As he spoke, he glanced at Moroboshi Hideki meaningfully.

In the original plot, Hideki Moroboshi was replaced by Noah's Ark at the beginning of the game.

In other words, even if the other forty-nine players failed, they still experienced a thrilling virtual reality game, while Hideki Moroboshi simply took a nap.

The gaming experience is zero.

but……

At this moment, there was no Digimon reaction on Hideki Moroboshi, which means that this Hideki Moroboshi was not Noah's Ark in disguise, but the real person.

The absence of Holmes means that Noah's Ark has changed the script.

As a result, Noah's Ark was not there either, so the script had been changed in vain!
"..."

Hideki Moroboshi frowned and wondered why this person was looking at me?
He was arrogant by nature and unwilling to be outdone, so he stared straight at Li Jie.

"That's not what I meant."

Jiang Shouhuang corrected him, "I mean you can come to our house as a bodyguard after the game is over. Our family is very rich and we can pay you a lot."

Li Jie had nothing to do at the moment, so he just wanted to kill time by chatting with the little fat boy. He asked seriously, "Oh, how much is it exactly?"

Hideki Moroboshi, Susumu Takizawa, Akira Emori, Seiichiro Kikukawa and others looked at each other and smiled, thinking that no matter how good this man was at fighting, he would still have to bow down before them.

It turns out that money is the truth!

Jiang Shouhuang adjusted the bow tie on his suit and said with a smug smile, "One million a month!"

Li Jie chuckled and said, "My protection is not that cheap. If it's Japanese yen, or 1 billion a day, I can still consider it."

"One billion a day?"

Jiang Shouhuang was dumbfounded and shouted, "Why don't you go rob a bank!"

Although he is not very old, as the grandson of a bank president, he is not insensitive to numbers like ordinary children. He knows very well the meaning of 100 million, and even more so the horror of 1 billion in a day.

"This is more profitable than robbery, and it's legal."

Li Jie smiled and said, "Besides, you are under my protection, so even if you are shot twice, you will be safe."

At this point, he shook his head and said, "No, I won't let my hired hands get shot."

Those who are protected by me will not go to hell.

It is normal for it to be a little more expensive, and it can even be ten times more expensive.

Before Jiang Shouhuang could say anything, Zhu Xingxiu laughed and said, "Nonsense, even if you are good at fighting, that's all you can do. Can you really block bullets?"

A cold girl's voice came from not far away: "As the grandson of the deputy director of the Metropolitan Police Department, don't you know the news?"

The person who spoke was Haibara Ai.

"What did you say?" Moroboshi Hideki frowned.

He didn't like the mature temperament exuded by this girl in her every move. She was just like an adult, and he always felt overshadowed in front of her.

Huiyuan Ai said: "The man in front of you caught the bullet from the gangster's gun with his bare hands in a bank robbery some time ago."

"what?!"

Upon hearing this, Hideki Moroboshi, Shinya Takizawa, Akira Emori, Seiichiro Kikukawa and others were all horrified.

He actually caught the bullet with his bare hands. Is that a human?

"Is there such a thing?"

Takizawa Shinya, Emori Akira, and Kikukawa Seiichiro all looked at Moroboshi Hideki.

They don't pay much attention to the news and don't know whether catching a bullet with bare hands is real.

Zhu Xingxiushu was sweating coldly, and looked at Li Jie with fear in his eyes. He said in a trembling voice: "It is true... Is that person really you?"

"Yes, it's me." Li Jie chuckled.

After hearing this, Takizawa Shinya, Jiang Mingxiang, and Kikukawa Seiichirō no longer dared to look down on Li Jie.

Ayumi, Mitsuhiko, Genta and others who were not far away stopped collecting evidence and gathered around Li Jie, asking with shining eyes: "Really? Big brother is Kamen Ultraman?"

In the Conan world, there are monsters like Godzilla, Kamen Rider, and even TV series like Super Sentai, Avengers, and Star Wars. The most popular hero among these children is Kamen Rider, which is equivalent to Kamen Rider in this world.

Li Jie smiled and said, "Actually, I am the Armor Hero."

Ayumi, Mitsuhiko, and Genta were amazed again, their eyes filled with admiration.

Although I don't quite understand the meaning of Armor Hero, he should be a hero of justice like Kamen Rider.

"..."

Hideki Moroboshi curled his lips.

People like Kamen Rider and Armor Hero who can catch bullets with their bare hands turn out to be childish people like this.

Humph, so what if it can catch bullets? What era is this? Bullets are just a weaker type of thermal weapon. There are also artillery shells and missiles.

Once the eight eggs arrive, all beings are equal!

Thinking of this, Hideki Moroboshi felt that catching the bullet with bare hands was nothing.

Conan watched as more and more people started chatting, and said helplessly, "I say, you guys, hurry up and find evidence! And Brother Li, aren't you a detective too? Please come and help."

Li Jie said: "My way of investigating cases is a little different from yours."

Conan asked, "Why is it different?"

Li Jie said: "I rely on surveillance to investigate cases."

"..." Conan was speechless. Why do we need detectives if there are surveillance cameras? Besides, this world is set in old London. How could there be surveillance cameras?
At this time, Mao Lilan found a file that was the research on Jack the Ripper left by Sherlock Holmes.

Everyone opened the file.

"On September 8, the second victim was Honey Charles, a 41-year-old single woman who was killed in the Whitechapel area, in the vacant lot next to St. Mary's Church. Two rings of different sizes were found at the crime scene."

"Jack the Ripper, the murderer who caused extreme panic in London, has caused unprecedented social unrest. I am sure that he is related to Professor Moriarty."

Conan read the notes left by Holmes and cold sweat broke out on his head.

Even Professor Moriarty showed up!
"Who is that guy?"

Jiang Shouhuang asked doubtfully: "Hey, I say, you know, but we don't."

Conan explained: "He is Sherlock Holmes's archenemy, who controls the dark streets of London. It is said that he has a great influence on all of Europe. He is the Napoleon of the criminal world."

He knows this very well.

"How are we going to find him?"

"If the professor doesn't show up, then we can just go find someone related to him." Conan became more and more excited, like a fan meeting his idol, "Let's go find Colonel Monlang."

"But he is the second most dangerous person in London, so you must be careful when dealing with him." Having said that, Conan's tone was calm and he didn't sound fearless at all.

"Look!"

At this moment, Yuan Tai rummaged through a drawer and found a silver revolver. He took it out and said with a smile, "It's a real gun!"

Conan's expression suddenly changed, and he scolded, "Put it back!"

Yuan Tai was startled and asked, "But... aren't we going to meet a scary guy? It would be better to have weapons, right?"

Conan said: "Weapons that you are not used to using are useless and will only bring disputes."

Guangyan advised: "Yuan Tai, we already have Brother Li here. Even if Colonel Meng Lang is very powerful, he is no match for Brother Li."

Upon hearing this, Yuantai shrank his head and put the revolver back.

"and many more!"

Li Jie stopped Yuan Tai, took the revolver, threw it to Conan, and said, "I'm not going to go with you from now on. You need a weapon."

Conan scrambled to catch the revolver. Although he had learned marksmanship in Hawaii, the gun was still a little too heavy for him.

This contact almost made him fall to the ground.

Seeing how delicate Conan was, Li Jie said helplessly, "...If necessary, just grow taller."

Conan asked, "Why do you want to act alone?"

“I’m also looking for this answer.”

Li Jie hurriedly said goodbye to everyone, walked out of Holmes's house, came to an empty corner of the next street, and said, "Come out."

As soon as he finished speaking, a young man appeared in the corner. He looked to be in his early ten years old. It was Noah's Ark, and he looked like Hiroki when he was alive.

Li Jie asked: "What should I call you?"

Noah's Ark said: "You can call me Hiroki."

Li Jie asked, "Hongshu, since you have revised the script, why don't you join in?"

Noah's Ark said: "This is the agreement between Jackmon and I. If those children can catch Jackmon under the changed scenario, he will go to the human world to identify Sindorak."

Jackmon?
It looks like that's Jack the Ripper turning into a Digimon.

Li Jie nodded and then asked, "Then why did you ask me to come here?"

The reason why he parted ways with Conan and others was because he had just received the signal from Noah's Ark.

Noah's Ark said: "Because you are not a player, if you interfere with the plot, it will be a foul."

Li Jie knew that if Jackmon didn't identify Sindra, Sindra would be at large, so he asked, "But can those kids deal with Jackmon? I've fought him before, and his strength is not something that ordinary people can withstand. Even if they find Jackmon, they can't subdue him."

Noah's Ark said: "The bullets in that gun are special bullets specifically designed to deal with Jackmon. They can restrain Jackmon, and when I sense that their lives are in danger, I will send them away. Of course, they will also lose their player qualifications."

"Send away? Is this your ability?"

"Yes."

Noah's Ark nodded and said, "Maybe it's because of the name Noah's Ark. After becoming a Digimon, I gained spatial abilities. I can teleport people away and even wander in different dimensions."

"Okay, whatever you want."

Li Jie's purpose of coming to the digital world was not to participate in the game, but to investigate the reasons why Swordmon and Dunusmon appeared in the human world.

"You can wander in another dimension?"

Although the activities of Swordmon and Dunusmon in the human world have been investigated, the process of their travel to the human world remains a mystery.

If we have to investigate bit by bit, that is, search every piece of land in the digital world, it will take too much time.

But if we could get help from Noah's Ark, everything would be much simpler.

Noah's Ark asked in confusion: "What's wrong?"

"I just need your help, let's work together."

"...I have to finish this game first." Noah's Ark said. Strictly speaking, this was not a game for him, but a bet to identify the murderer.

Only by winning the bet can he make Jackmon identify Sindra and bring Sindra to justice.

This is the only way to avenge my father!
Li Jie asked, "Where is Jackmon?"

Noah's Ark said, "He cannot die."

Li Jie said that he just wanted to take a look, and when Noah's Ark told him the location of Jackmon, he sent a super-intelligent being in that direction for monitoring.

Then he discovered something surprising.
