Conan Rick's Investigator

Now, once again, I learned about the important actions of the organization members in advance.

Is it possible to grab Scotch whiskey?

Qin Zhibo thought for a moment and shook his head, feeling that something was wrong.

Last time, he learned in advance Gin's complete action plan to assassinate Yasuki Domon, and he lurked beside Gin.

Coupled with the cooperation of many parties, it was not easy to catch Gin.

But in fact, Gin did not tell him the complete plan, and arranged an extra sniper to prevent any unexpected events.

Even surveillance personnel were arranged near the location where they gathered in advance, which Gin had never mentioned before.

This time, although the time and location of Scotch Whiskey's operation were known in advance, the operation plan and staffing were unclear.

Is the organization planning to take action near the Rice Krispies Department Store? Or inside a department store building?

Is it a long-range sniper kill? Or a close-range assassination?

Many uncertain factors make it extremely difficult to deploy an ambush on site in advance.

If a strategy of casting a wide net is adopted, given the usual vigilance of the organization members, they may discover something unusual on the way and thus abandon the action, suspecting that there is a female culprit inside.

In fact, over the years, Shuichi Akai, who once lurked inside the organization, and Toru Amuro, who is currently "Bourbon", may have had the opportunity to capture important members of the organization.

But the problem is that once an important member is arrested during an operation, the organization's boss will first suspect that there is an undercover agent.

Even the bandit leader of Weihu Mountain, Zuo Shandiao, understands this simple way of thinking. It is impossible for an old man who has lived for hundreds of years not to understand.

At first, I decided to arrest Gin because my identity would be exposed sooner or later, so I might as well do something big in advance.

If you want to capture Scotch these days, you will have to sacrifice at least one undercover agent.

Toru Amuro, Reina Mizuno, and Cohen are currently known undercover agents and come from different forces.

Or maybe I heard from Alfonso of Green Delta before that organizations all over the world are secretly investigating, and relevant undercover agents may have been dispatched.

But in fact, there is no internal response that can really cooperate with this operation, and the probability of success cannot be further improved.

And there is another uncertain factor, that is "Chiba" who is an Yis...

After deliberation for a long time, Qin Zhibo gave up the idea of ​​doing anything with Scotch whiskey.

Let's stick to the original plan, contact "Chiba" and protect "Chiba".

In addition to the fact that people in the parallel world need the "Soul Transfer Technique" of the Yis people, Qin Zhibo also has some things he wants to find out from the Yis people in "Qianye"'s body.

Why is the black organization hunting him?

The Yis people in Chiba's body first appeared in connection with the former tulpa cult.

One of the tulpa cult leaders, Kato Akira, once studied in Ohio, USA.

After returning to China, he became roommates with Chiba Kazunobu and transferred the soul of the Islamic people into his body.

And the tulpa cult was eventually wiped out by Scotch Whisky alone.

All the members of the church were killed, and the mist paintings used by the members to practice mind power magic were also taken away.

Judging from this incident, the Tulpa Cult is likely to be related to the Black Organization, or at least is a target of the Black Organization.

If I could get in touch with Chiba, maybe I could understand the connection behind this...

……

After coming out of the coffee shop, Qin Zhibo found a place to have lunch and returned to the office.

In the afternoon, we received two lost owners looking for their pets. Each spent half an hour and earned 4 meters.

As a famous detective with a high social credit, Qin Zhibo feels that his life as the chief lawyer in the law firm is quite boring.

The commissions that come to my door are relatively routine searches for lost pets, and there are neither murders nor investigations of strange incidents.

Not even stalking the affair partner!

Maybe this has something to do with my slightly negative work attitude. After all, unlike Kogoro Mouri, who is always on the go and rarely misses any commissions.

By 4: pm, it was already past normal business hours.

Qin Zhibo closed the office work area on the second floor and practiced shooting in the living area on the third floor.

Qin Zhibo had a video game console at home after discovering a bug that allowed shooting video games to improve [firearms] skill levels.

This type of game console can only play a shooting game called "Lone Gunman". The background style and monsters of each level are different. There is almost no story plot. The only fun is just shooting.

But fortunately, the game difficulty can be set in the background. There are 10 game levels and 10 different levels of difficulty.

A normal game arcade will set the difficulty to 5 levels.

In more sinister game arcades, the difficulty will switch back and forth between level 6 and level 7, forcing players to play multiple times to break the record on the game console.

The most difficult level is naturally the 10th level under the 10 levels of difficulty.

Compared with the 10th level, the 9th level has an increased limit on the number of bullets. Unlike the first 9 levels, which can have unlimited bullets, you can pass the level with the speed of pulling the trigger.

The 10th level under the 10 levels of difficulty is even more abnormally difficult. Each bullet needs to correspond to a monster's head, and hitting the body will not work.

Otherwise, there are not enough bullets in the end, and GG is declared.

This is also the only level of difficulty that Qin Zhibo, who currently has level 7 [Firearm] skill, cannot clear.

In front of the game console, Qin Zhibo held a model gun with both hands and fired continuously at the sea of ​​monsters on the screen.

The weakest of these monsters, the small monster, requires 2 shots to hit the body, and the medium monster requires 3 shots to hit the body, but Qin Zhibo can achieve a headshot with only one shot.

Soon, the level boss appeared on the screen.

The final boss of this generation of "Lone Gunmen" is a giant monster with an octopus head, its huge upper body crawling on the sea.

What do you say about the image of this monster?

It's a bit like Cthulhu.

But in fact, this is just a dark golden octopus monster with human aesthetic characteristics, and it does not have the indescribable feeling of Cthulhu in the "cocoon".

The body of the dark golden octopus occupies most of the screen, and it cannot dodge. It looks easy to hit, but in fact, it must hit the tentacles on its chin to trigger critical damage, otherwise there will not be enough bullets.

The only attack method of the octopus is to charge up and swing its huge and thick tentacles. Players must hit the rapidly twitching monster tentacles on the screen within a few seconds.

Otherwise, if the tentacle falls, the player will directly GG.

is coming……

After a brief pixel-style cG, the octopus monster began to wave its huge tentacles, and the screen was filled with shadows of waving golden tentacles.

Qin Zhibo's pupils suddenly shrank, he stared at the most solid shadow of the tentacle on the screen, shook his arm slightly, and then pulled the trigger.

pia

, pia, pia……

The two guns fired continuously, and it seemed that all of them hit the target, and they did successfully prevent the boss from launching his ultimate move.

But looking at the health bar above, it seems that there is just a little difference.

"It's a shame one of the shots missed."

A child's voice came from the side, confirming Qin Zhibo's judgment.

“Huh… Let’s end it then…”

As Qin Zhibo finished speaking, a bloody Gaeover animation suddenly appeared on the game screen.

Logically speaking, even if the game is determined to be impossible to pass in advance, the game will not end until the monster kills you or all the bullets are used up.

But Qin Zhibo hated this feeling of waiting to die and being ruined, so he directly asked Hiroki Sawada to interrupt the game.

Hiroki Sawada, the human form of artificial intelligence Noah's Ark, is now living in Qin Zhibo's USB flash drive.

In fact, Qin Zhibo also asked Sawada Hiroki why a program as powerful as artificial intelligence can be stored in a small-space storage device such as a USB flash drive.

Sawada Hiroki's answer is that the USB flash drive only needs to store his original code and the basic knowledge structure that he has learned and mastered to run normally.

If he is connected to the Internet, the Noah's Ark knowledge website is his database, and the knowledge inside can be used by him at will.

Even if there is no Internet connection, the actual storage capacity of the human brain is only about 2~5G, and a USB flash drive is enough to handle it.

It can be thought that the USB flash drive where Sawada Hiroki is located is similar to the USB flash drive in the movie "Super Body".

Black Widow stores her knowledge in a USB flash drive, but the theoretical storage capacity of the human brain is very terrifying. For a super human whose brain is 100% developed, the storage capacity of a USB flash drive is definitely not enough.

Hiroki Sawada has not yet reached the level of super USB flash drive.

But the current Sawada Hiroki is also very powerful. As long as he inserts the background interface of the game console, he can directly control the game console.

As the word Gaeover scrolled across the screen, the records on the game console were displayed one by one.

No. 1: Hiroki Sawada... points

No. 2: Qin... points

【…】

You don’t need to look at the following records, they are all played by Qin Zhibo, they are just arranged according to the time of giving up.

"Alright, alright, it's my turn to play!"

While the records behind were still flashing one by one, a voice came out from the side.

Next to Qin Zhibo, there was another "Qin Zhibo".

Of course, this is not the real Qin Zhibo, but a decoy puppet.

Minase Yomu, who controls the decoy doll, can also play shooting games.

However, she is very addicted to food. In fact, she can't even keep passing the first level of the lowest level.

"Ozawa, give me the easiest one!"

Minase Youmeng picked up the model gun and shouted the most cowardly words in the most domineering tone.

But in fact, only Qin Zhibo can hear her voice, and Sawada Hiroki cannot.

Qin Zhibo passed on the message, "The lowest difficulty."

"alright."

Sawada Hiroki chose the difficulty in the background, and the monsters immediately became pitifully rare. Those who didn't know better thought they were wild protected animals.

Minase Harumu controlled the bait puppet, holding the model gun in both hands, and killed the monsters one by one with the gentle shaking of his arms.

Just when Minase Youmeng was having fun, there were footsteps in the corridor.

It was already the time when the office was closed, and there should be no clients coming, so Qin Zhibo guessed that it was Kuroba Kaito who had returned from school.

"Alright! Stop playing!"

Qin Zhibo quickly put away the bait puppet.

"I'm so pissed! I just started playing!"

"I don't care! I don't want to go back!"

Minase Yangmeng was very dissatisfied with the interruption of her happy time, and she was so angry that she flew up in the air.

Stamping his feet.

Qin Zhibo thought for a while, since Kuroba Kaito and Terai Kinosuke couldn't see the female ghost, they could just let her stay.

"Then stop talking and disturbing me."

"Thank you, uncle~"

Qin Zhibo walked over and opened the door, and it turned out to be Kuroba Kaito outside the door.

But standing behind him was not only Terai Huangnosuke, but also Koizumi Anko.

"you……"

Qin Zhibo was a little surprised when he saw this inexplicable and strange lineup.

See parents?

It's not like that, the two of them aren't even holding hands.

Just as Kuroba Kaito was about to explain, Koizumi Anko forcefully pushed Kuroba Kaito aside and said arrogantly, "Don't get me wrong, I just have something to talk to you about. I didn't mean to come here with this guy."

"I never thought that Kuroba-san would be living with you..."
