Previously, Conan's group had been tasked with catching Jack the Ripper, but Conan's Conan and his friends realized that the gadgets proved useless in the game. Determined, they embarked on a long journey to reach Baker Street and find Sherlock Holmes. Upon their arrival at Big Ben in London, Hideki noticed something peculiar.

Hideki: *face big ben clock* Hey, doesn't that clock seem strange?

Conan and the others: Huh?

All eyes turned to the massive clock, observing the minute hand moving in reverse.

Genta: *point on clock* It's going backwards!

Big Ben's clock moved backward again.

Mitsuhiko: Huh? It's happening again!

Conan: *confuse* It went from 50 minutes to 49? And then to 48?

Kuuga: Huh? 50, 49, and 48? Wait, that means...

Conan looked at Ayumi and the others in shock.

Conan: *shocked, face everyone* The number of kids in the game!

Mitsuhiko: *worried, face Conan*It went back by two minutes...

Kuuga: Which means two people in another stage are out of the game...

Conan felt nervous; they had to hurry before the time limit expired.

Conan: *determine* We must go on... before we are the last.

Later on, Conan and the others continued on their way, taking a shortcut through an alley. There, they overheard two police officers discussing Jack the Ripper.

Cop #1: *holding a lamp, facing Cop #2* I heard there was another victim in a back alley by Mitre Street.

Cop #2: *holding a lamp, facing Cop #1* Two in one hour. That's four now.

Cop #1: *walking together with Cop #2* The world's a horrible place...

The two cops walked away. In the dimly lit alley, Ayumi, Mitsuhiko, Genta, and the others were afraid, hearing about the grim realities of the London era.

Ayumi: *nervous* This is scary.

Mitsuhiko: *nervous* We came to a terrible time period.

Haibara: The turn of the century is said to have been London's finest era in the history of the British Empire. But in actuality, there was a disparaging gap between rich and poor, crime was rampant, and the people's hearts were untrustworthy.

Kuuga: There are two worlds they live in, different from each other. One stands in the light of the era, the other in the dark shadow. They cannot tell which they live in.

Conan: *determined, facing everyone* Then, let's hurry to the light of the era! We're almost to Baker Street!

As Conan and the others kept walking, a strange musician playing a concertina walked past them, singing a haunting melody.
