Chapter 467 The True Abyss (Part 5)
[Fire Investigator: Jack has now transformed into a mist blade launcher!]
[Ms. Farrow: I think it's more like the Peashooter.]
[Antique Dealer: This little mist blade is comparable to the little cyclone created by Wendy.]
[Meteorologist: Eat my typhoon!]
[Jack: (Twisting nimbly to avoid the attack) I'm incredibly strong now. Not even Richard can stop me!]
[Knight: If you continue to get carried away, you'll be beaten up by all the OBs.]
[Professor: Is there no one speaking up for me? I always feel like the air is full of Jack!]
[Postman: Although Mr. Jack has been strengthened, he still can't get rid of the problem of free-range chickens.]
"Mr. Richard and Grandma Valentina, is the way out just downstairs?" Conan walked forward.
The grocer smiled gently. "So it's little Conan and another lovely lady. Go down these stairs and you'll see the teleportation bridge built by Miss Fiona."
"What? Teleport?" Sera Masumi had never experienced the bombardment of the manor's black technology.
However, when she walked to the stairs, she realized why Conan asked "Is the road just downstairs" instead of "Is the exit just downstairs".
Masumi Sera now felt as if she had mistakenly entered some other dimension. On this side of the stairs, a knight and a grocer were leisurely drinking coffee, while the other end of the stairs seemed to lead to an even more bizarre place.
It was a suspended structure, with stairs connecting the lounge floor on one side to the door on the other. The wooden door looked vintage, and even more striking was the house number "221B" hanging above it. A thin mist hung around the room, adding to the mysterious atmosphere.
"Why is there Sherlock Holmes' residence? No, why is this room suspended in the air? And what are those things that are vaguely visible in the distance?" Sera Masumi was dumbfounded.
But Conan, a die-hard Sherlock Holmes fan, didn't care. He'd heard that Oletus Manor had a script that matched Holmes's style, which meant they probably had a pre-built set. He'd assumed it was just some stage props, but he wasn't expecting it to be a full-scale replica of Holmes's apartment.
Although he had seen it once before in England, it was, after all, a place for sightseeing. Perhaps this "221B" built at the Oritis Manor would be different? Conan ran down the stairs to the Sherlock Holmes residence, opened the door, and slipped in. A worried Sera Masumi hurried to follow.
Conan also didn't disappoint at the Oritis setting. Not only was it a faithful replica of the apartment from the novel, but it also felt more like a place of everyday life than the tourist attractions in London. Sitting on the sofa, the coffee table in front of him held a pipe and deerstalker hat, typical of Sherlock Holmes. There was even a steaming cup of coffee on the small dining table nearby.
What shocked Conan even more was that he saw two "living people" here. If he guessed correctly, these should be "Mrs. Hudson" and "The Baker Street Kids" created by Oritis using cloning technology.
"This is so authentic!" Conan was so excited that he even wanted to stay here for a day.
Sera Masumi couldn't help but cover her face. "I say, can you restrain yourself a little? Didn't we come here to find a way to leave? And although this room is very realistic and there is even sunlight coming in through the window, I can still hear the voices of people on the street outside from where I stand here."
"But did we run from indoors to outdoors, and then into another 'indoor' connected to 'another outdoors'? Is this also some kind of special projection, or a trick?"
"Well, let's talk about this later. Let me first ask Mr. Richard where the exit is." Conan quickly forced himself to cool down.
"Why don't we look for it ourselves first? Maybe there is a secret entrance here." Sera Masumi suggested.
The two then searched the room carefully, Conan even searched the carpet and fireplace, but still found nothing. The two had no choice but to return to the knight and the grocer.
The knight raised an eyebrow at the two people who had gone back and forth. "Why, you couldn't find the entrance or exit?"
"Um, Mr. Richard, we didn't see any so-called entrance or exit in Holmes' apartment." Conan spread his hands. Even though he observed so carefully, he didn't see any hidden secret passage.
"Heh, it seems our great detective can also be so careless in his observations." The knight raised his chin proudly.
Conan couldn't help but glare at the knight with his crescent eyes: "I even looked for gaps between every tile."
"Did you guys look for the bathroom too?"
"No? Why would someone put a secret passage in the bathroom?" Sera Masumi's eyes widened. "And I just checked, the toilet and bathtub are both working properly, except that the bathtub seems to be filled with hot water that can't be poured out."
Conan made a bitter face: "You don't mean to say that the transmission channel is in the toilet..."
The knight couldn't help but burst out laughing: "Hahaha! Okay, I won't tease you anymore. The teleportation channel is in the bathtub. Just lie down in it and you can operate it."
[Priest: Who came up with this stupid idea in the first place?]
[Prophet: I always thought you would put the teleportation channel in a closet or something...]
[Dancer: But everyone's been playing moonlit night escapes so much that they've grown tired of using cabinets to teleport.]
[Perfumer: It's really uncomfortable to open the cabinet door and get covered in wax.]
[Dream Witch: This teleportation method was thought up by Hastur while he was sleeping in the bathtub.]
[Lord in Yellow: ZZZ......]
[Professor: The world is dying because of a little mycelium. I can't imagine what would happen if this world were truly invaded by the Abyss.]
[Air Force: If the situation is good, we can survive the apocalypse. If the situation is bad, we will have to restart.]
Following the knight's instructions, the two returned to the bathroom in room 221B. The bathroom only had a toilet, a bathtub, and a dressing mirror in front of the sink.
Conan walked forward and looked at the bathtub filled with hot water and still steaming. He gritted his teeth and jumped in.
"Conan!" Sera Masumi was startled and quickly walked forward to check the situation.
Conan supported the edge of the bathtub with both hands, but the expected damp feeling after contact with water did not appear. Instead, he felt a strange cool feeling.
He looked up and found that the priest's door key pattern appeared on the water surface in the bathtub, and the blue halo made the water surface fluorescent.
"It seems the teleportation device is really here, and the trigger condition is lying in the bathtub." Conan raised his wet hand and touched the pattern of the door key. He had experienced the priest's teleportation channel several times and was not only very familiar with it, but also very familiar with it.
Sera Masumi reached out and stirred the water, causing the originally calm halo to fluctuate. "Can this take us where we want to go?"
"I'll try." Conan thought in his mind and tried his best to imagine where Xiaolan and Maori Kogoro were now.
