Chapter 568 Asano Nobushige’s Identity

"Dong——"

The ancient pendulum clock made a deep and deep sound, ringing seven times.

Then there was another gentle knock on the door. There was a pause of one second every three times. Seeing that the person inside did not respond, there were three more knocks one second later.

Nobuhiro's sleep was very light at first, but for some reason today, he thought he had a dream. But even if he didn't answer for a long time, the people outside the door didn't show any impatience.

"Sir, it's time to get up."

Suddenly, it seemed as if someone was calling in his ear, finally awakening Nobuhiro's consciousness.

He opened his eyes drowsily, only to find that the world in his eyes was so strange. So much so that Nobushige had to use two seconds to respond to a question that has troubled mankind for thousands of years:

Who am I, where do I come from, where am I going?

After a while, Nobuhiro finally figured out his current location.

He is Asano Nobushige, whose real name is Morofuku Kagemitsu. Not long ago, he was forced by an artificial intelligence smarter than humans to use his true identity and came to the Mihua City Hall to meet with it. Then due to some changes, he had to enter the game again to help Noah's Ark solve the remaining problems.

Nobushige remembered that the artificial intelligence called Noah's Ark seemed to have said that since he was not a player, he would play an NPC role after entering the game.

As an employee of the game system, he cannot do anything inconsistent with his status, but at the same time, the system also opens up some permissions to him.

for example--

Nobuhiro's belief moved, and the three curtains in the room immediately opened automatically.

The man who had just entered the door when he heard the noise and was about to close the curtains paused, and then placed the newspaper in his hand on Nobushige's bedside very naturally, as if he didn't think what he just did was weird at all.

"Sir, this is today's morning paper," he said, and the man brought a hair tie and tied his hair as usual.

Like always?

Nobushige was stunned. It turns out that the will of the NPC himself will also affect him?

But the first priority is to find out the identity of the character he plays.

Looking at the way he got up and the exquisite furnishings and decorations throughout the room, Nobuhiro had reason to think that his identity must be extraordinary.

Just ask that he not be the cannon fodder killed by the murderer in the Sherlock Holmes series.

However, he remembered that the background of the "Cocoon" game was Jack the Ripper, a serial murderer who specialized in killing women, so he should not be interested in him.

After all, it can be seen from the name his entourage just addressed him that he is a man.

etc! Why does he need to determine his gender from the title.

Nobushige then thought about it, and it made sense for him to be so cautious. After all, his current identity was not Asano Nobushige. Who knew what kind of role Noah's Ark had arranged for him.

However, Nobuhiro subconsciously looked at his body and made sure that everything that should be there was there, and then he felt relieved.

Follower: "...??"

While the entourage was combing his hair, Nobuhiro picked up the newspaper and wanted to know the specific situation through the newspaper.

The newspaper is smooth, warm, and exudes the unique fragrance of ink. You can tell at a glance that it has just been ironed.

Well, this operation is absolutely evil for the aristocratic class.

The newspaper's front-page headline read, "The mystery that haunts the Baskerville family is solved by the famous detective Sherlock Holmes." The reporter interviewed Sir Henry Baskerville and praised Holmes in the article.

But there was no photo of Holmes published in the newspaper. This made Nobushige a little disappointed. He originally wanted to see what the Sherlock Holmes model produced by Kudo Yusaku looked like.

Xinfan opened the newspaper out of boredom and looked at other pages. Every side of the newspaper is densely packed with English, including news sections, entertainment sections, horse racing sections, advertisements, and so on. It was so real that Nobushige thought he was really in London at the end of the 19th century.

Soon, a photo in the newspaper attracted Nobushige's attention.

The man in the photo is wearing a gorgeous double-breasted woolen jacket, a clean shirt underneath, and a very wide slip-knot tie at the collar of the shirt, decorated with sapphires surrounded by diamonds.

He sat in front of the soft sofa, folded his hands on the crutches, looked forward, his eyes were deep and introverted, and his emotions and anger were invisible.

The problem is, Nobuhiro is too familiar with this face, it is clearly his own! ! !

Look at the title again——

Good guy, Nobushige is straight up good guy.

The title is very simple, far less news-like than Sherlock Holmes, with only a few words: Mathematician William James Moriarty and his "Asteroid Mechanics"

Nobushige didn't know whether he should feel honored or despaired that he had obtained the identity of Professor Moriarty, the biggest villain in the Sherlock Holmes series.

And the most crucial point is that in the game "Cocoon", Moriarty is also the manipulator behind Jack the Ripper. Although he didn't appear for a long time, he was the one who discovered Jack the Ripper's potential and trained him into a killer.

Using this identity is not OOC. How can he help Conan and others overcome the biggest program bug and clear the game?

Help Conan kill himself? ?

Nobushige suddenly looked up at the relief on the ceiling at a 45-degree angle, as if he was hopeless.

Follower: "???"

Is Mr. Moriarty feeling a little uncomfortable today? Why is he so abnormal?

[Mr. Asano, please pay attention to your character settings, you will be recognized by the game system! ]

Nobuhiro was startled, but he knew that the person who spoke was not here. It was very likely that Noah's Ark conveyed such words to him in the form of brain waves.

To put it in layman's terms, his current state is actually a bit like a game modifier, or it can also be said that he is cheating. With the help of Noah's Ark, an artificial intelligence that transcends the level of the "Cocoon" game system, his consciousness successfully broke through the game's firewall and was forcibly installed in the folder of the NPC Professor Moriarty. This operation allowed Nobuhiro to participate in the game as Professor Moriarty without being discovered. But once he does something outrageous and is detected by the game, what awaits him may be deletion of files.

After being reminded by Noah's Ark, Nobuhiro also knew his identity. He mobilized the unclear records about Professor Moriarty in his memory and worked hard to play this role.

"What's the itinerary for today?" he asked casually.

The attendant immediately replied respectfully: "You have a lecture in the university town at ten o'clock in the morning. The other person sent a message and he has arranged the next action for tonight."

"Really?" Nobushige changed into formal clothes under the wait of his entourage. He just responded lightly and seemed to have no interest in this topic.

But in fact, he was speculating on the identity of "that person" mentioned by the entourage.

First of all, a message was sent, which showed that the person was not Moriarty's confidant, or at least not in London recently. Secondly, he arranged his next operation at night, so he must be an important part of Moriarty's plan to turn London into a city of crime.
