I Am a Light Novel Master in Japan Chapter 625
Li Yan looked at this doll and felt a little pity. After all, this is Japan, and the figures belonging to the rich were also made a little distorted. They relied too much on cute attributes. As a result, the face of this girl was made to match that of an Oriental. aesthetics.
However, just when Li Yan retracted his hand, the puppet's hand suddenly stretched out, grabbed his wrist, and pulled Li Yan back a little.
"!!"
Li Yan's expression suddenly changed.
The "doll's" eyes suddenly moved and looked at him.
"It needs to be quiet here. You can't touch anything. What are you doing, Mr. Oriental, do you think of me as a puppet?"
Flowers filled the air, the cold wind blew, and petals flew down. The blond "girl doll" raised her head and asked quietly.
※※※
Shinjuku City, 5:45 minutes.
The last trace of golden light left in the sky shines in this residential area.
After Li Yan left, the room was empty. There were dictionaries and essay collections opened everywhere, and the flash of the computer illuminated the living room, which was almost losing its brightness.
[Ding dong! 】
A doorbell suddenly rang.
"..." Alice was silent for a moment, but she still didn't raise her head and said, "The door is unlocked, come in."
The doorbell became quiet, and gradually, the doorknob moved and was gently pushed open.
Under the golden light, stood a blond girl wearing a student vest and a red tie.
Shiina Mashiro looked quietly inside the room, looking at Alice in the distance.
"I'm here." Shiina Mashiro said in a soft and cold voice.
"Yes, please lock the door when you come in." Alice looked through the dictionary and said.
Mashiro Shiina locked the door, took off her shoes, came to Alice, and said, "Now, it's just the two of us?"
"That's right, Miss Shiina."
Alice finally stopped working. She closed her eyes, exhaled, then raised her head, smiled, and asked, "Would you like a can of Dr Pepper?"
"...Yeah." Shiina Mashiro was silent for a while and nodded.
In the dim living room, Mashiro Shiina, holding a drink, had few topics to talk about. Finally, she raised her head and asked: "What is the purpose of the ALICE game?"
"Hmm...Miss Shiina, your voice is really nice. The thin voice sounds like a pet, which is very different from what I thought before."
Alice hugged the brown bear puppet, looked at Mashiro Shiina, and said: "The Alice game is a zero-sum game that we invited you to. You should understand that you are already qualified to join the discussion group organized by that person. All along, We couldn't find a middleman to organize this detective girl's winning or losing game, but at this time, a candidate with the ability to solve difficult cases appeared..."
"Because I suggested that you come up with the questions, this game is called [Alice Game]. As you can imagine, this is just a missing person game, but the person I'm looking for is Mr. Holmes mentioned by Ms. Shiina. , since I can teach you so well, you must be a very powerful detective, right? Sherlock Holmes is almost a god-like existence to us detectives, so it is perfect to use this as the title."
Alice sighed softly and said: "However, Miss Shiina, your Sherlock Holmes is really amazing. So far, there are no clues at all. I don't know if others have found the way?"
Mashiro Shiina was silent. She learned in the discussion group that Alice was a hacker detective with outstanding abilities. She was good at using the Internet to find the truth of incidents. She abandoned the traditional detective techniques of field investigation, and her crime detection rate was one of the highest in the industry.
However, Li Yan was worried that others would know his identity, and had been careful not to leave any online clues. Therefore, within a few days, Alice was able to find out where he was. This shows that he is very powerful, but he was accidentally caught by Li Yan. His actions cut off the clue...
"But I don't know what this invitation means."
Shiina Mashiro was silent for a while and explained.
"It doesn't matter, this is just a reasoning game anyway, there will be no bloodshed, no loss, and... Miss Shiina, after you accepted the test and invitation in a daze, you are now a member of our world's girl detective team, you Your detective skills are very good, but your experience is very little. At present, your experience will be your fatal flaw, so you have to consider yourself unlucky. Also, don’t leave the discussion group, otherwise you will get into trouble."
Alice reminded her as she sat on the cushions.
"..." Shiina Mashiro's expression remained as pure as white without any change.
"So, there is only one thing you have to do now, and that is to be careful and try not to be detected by others at the end of the game. That's good."
"..."
Shiina Mashiro was silent for a moment. So far, she has not found any other purpose for this game.
However, she was the initiator of disturbing Li Yan's life this time. More importantly, she really didn't want this group of people to find her unique "Sherlock"...
Shiina Mashiro has a deep understanding of Li Yan's ability to hide information. Now no girl in the team knows who her "guide" is. These are all factors that Li Yan has unconsciously resisted against this group of curious detectives. ...The only thing she has to do is to try her best to protect Holmes' achievements.
Therefore, it is impossible for Mashiro Shiina to care about the [assistant] position at this time, and she has always maintained the calm psychological quality of a high school girl detective.
"So……"
Some useful information has been collected so far. If the conversation continues, there will be no free information. Shiina Mashiro stood up, holding Dr Pepper and preparing to leave.
"Um, Miss Shiina."
Alice suddenly stopped her.
"?"
Shiina Mashiro turned back to look at her.
"Can you tell Mr. Holmes? If I find him, there is one thing I want to ask him no matter what, and he must answer me. Is that okay?"
Detective girls’ games are not boring.
Shiina Mashiro's incredible descriptions, and after Alice fought against him once, the legend of Sherlock Holmes is approaching the ideal possibility. With such wisdom, there must be answers that Alice and other detective girls have always wanted to solve... …
In the detective's heart, Charlotte Holmes exists and is immortal. The detective who has always been known for his rationality doesn't have a dream-like fairy tale in his heart?
"Yes." Shiina Mashiro nodded. It was not clear that the purpose of this sentence was bait, but she still agreed first.
"..."
When Shiina Mashiro passed the bathroom, she saw a familiar scene.
There are instructions for using the washing machine and precautions on the washing machine.
After a long period of failure and perseverance, she no longer needed these reminders a few months ago.
"!"
Alice noticed Mashiro Shiina's gaze and her expression suddenly changed. But what was even more frightening was that Mashiro Shiina seemed to understand the note and turned back to look at her expressionlessly...
"Uh..." Alice hugged the doll, her expression extremely awkward, as if she had fallen into an ice cave.
It seems that I was looked down upon by my opponent...
