Conan Rick's Investigator

……

The other side of the parallel world.

When I left the hospital, the operation in the operating room was in full swing.

As a young doctor who has successfully applied for a job in a major hospital, Tomoaki Shinde has sufficient ability to perform surgery.

Coupled with the assistance of Yusaku Kudo, who had some medical knowledge, the operation went smoothly.

However, after taking off the mask, Shinde Chiaki immediately stated that the situation was not optimistic.

"Although the wound has been sutured and the bleeding has stopped, he's still in danger."

"The bullet damaged his kidney, and since he was brought in too late, he still faces the risk of organ infection and acute renal failure."

"I suggest sending him to a large hospital immediately for further observation and treatment..."

Faced with Shinde Tomoe's serious suggestion, Kudo Yusaku and Qin Zhibo fell into thinking.

After a few seconds, Kudo Yusaku asked seriously, "What is the probability of survival after being sent to the hospital?"

After thinking for a moment, Shinde Tomaki gave a rigorous answer.

"Less than 3%..."

So low.

Qin Zhibo knew that when a doctor could tell such a probability, it already meant that the doctor himself had low expectations for the patient's survival rate.

I didn’t expect that after a hard work, it would end like this?

Lupin III, who had just rolled up his sleeves, was shocked when he heard this probability and shouted, "What?!"

"My blood was wasted!"

This time, Lupin III really bled heavily. In order to save this "alien", he donated no less than 400 ml of blood.

But even so, he was still able to stand up energetically, which can be considered a "body of steel".

At this time, Kudo Yusaku turned around and called Qin Zhibo to the corridor.

The two of them walked into the corridor, and Kudo Yusaku asked directly, "Can't the 'Is people' exchange souls?"

"In that case, why not just switch him to another body? Wouldn't that save him from death?"

Although Kudo Yusaku had exchanged souls with an Isis person before, this Isis person was found by Qin Zhibo after all, so he still had to ask Qin Zhibo about some specific details.

But Qin Zhibo shook his head and rejected the proposal.

"The Yis need to accumulate energy to exchange souls, and they also need to establish their own brainwave frequency in the target's brain."

"Unless you've already established your brainwave frequency, you won't be able to switch instantly..."

This is what Yamada once said himself.

It was precisely because he had left the brain wave frequency in Yamada's body in advance that he was able to quickly switch bodies when Chiba Kazunobu's body was damaged.

But he had just traveled to this world, so how could he have time to establish brain wave frequencies in other people's brains?

Hearing this, a hint of melancholy appeared on Kudo Yusaku's face.

It seems that we can only resign ourselves to fate?

Even if he is sent to a large hospital now, the probability of survival is less than 30%.

And that comes with the risk of exposure.

Just as the two were hesitating about what to do next, Tomaki Shinde came out of the operating room and called them.

"The patient is awake, and he has something to say to you."

After Qin Zhibo and Kudo Yusaku heard this, they quickly returned to the operating room and saw Yamada, who was lying on the operating table dying, squinting slightly and opening his eyes.

"what……"

His breath was weak, and through the oxygen mask, Qin Zhibo and Kudo Yusaku could only listen.

"While I'm still here..."

"Those two..."

After listening, the two looked at each other and immediately understood what Yamada was talking about.

He asked to bring Mao Lilan and Mine Fujiko over!

Although they didn't know if he still had such strength, since he said so, the two of them had no choice but to execute it immediately.

So, Kudo Yusaku and Lupine III went out and immediately rushed to the nearby Kudo house.

Qin Zhibo stood on the bench and continued to ask Yamada, "Will you die this time?"

As soon as this question came out, Tomaki Shinde, who was standing next to him, was stunned.

How can one ask the patient whether he will die?

Yamada, on the other hand, pointed a narrow gap between his upper and lower eyelids at Qin Zhibo, as if he wanted to answer something.

"Maybe..."

"I never thought I would die in this place..."

Yamada's lips were tightly closed. He communicated with Qin Zhibo at the brain wave frequency through the ability of the Yishi people.

"If I could turn back time, I wish I had never made a deal with that 'devil'..."

Although Yamada's voice in the brain wave frequency was still very coherent, Qin Zhibo knew that he was at the end of his strength.

The devil he was talking about was the old man named "Urasuma Renya".

In fact, Qin Zhibo also had some thoughts about the "killer" who was chasing Yamada just now.

According to Yamada's identity as an ordinary person, there is definitely no need for anyone to get rid of him.

In other words, Yamada was probably ordered to kill the Yisi man after he discovered his identity.

And the only one who can know this is Karasuma Renya.

It is known that the organizational bosses of the two worlds are the same person, so the organizations of the two worlds are likely to be under his unified command.

As for the identity of the killer, Qin Zhibo also made a very bold guess.

Could it be bourbon?

Is it Toru Amuro?

From the brief phone conversation with Akai Shuichi, Qin Zhibo has discovered that the bourbon in this world is different from the bourbon in his own world.

Shuichi Akai did not kill Scotch and was not very familiar with bourbon.

If Shuichi Akai wasn't lying, the Bourbon in this world might really be another "Bourbon".

He might not even be an undercover agent of the Japanese police...

Pure black version of bourbon?

Qin Zhibo is not sure yet, and the answer to this question can only be left to Conan and others in this world to decipher.

Just as Qin Zhibo was thinking, Yamada's voice sounded in his mind again.

"Didn't you once ask me what kind of apocalyptic crisis your world would face?"

"Now, I can tell you..."

Chapter 1223 Soul Exchange

Qin Zhibo stood on a low stool and stared at Yamada's weak eyes.

Now there was only one thought in his mind: to slow down time and let Yamada finish what he said.

I hope it doesn't happen that Yamada just opened his mouth and then suddenly died, leaving him speechless...

But fortunately, Yamada is not a real human being. He does not need to open his mouth and can use brain wave frequencies to let Qin Zhibo know what he wants to convey.

"According to my observation, your world is on the brink of destruction..."

"And the source of destruction is..."

Yamada's words stopped suddenly, which made Qin Zhibo's heart twitch.

No way?

Did you really guess it right?

Hey, if you're running out of steam so quickly, why don't you come up and get straight to the point? !

Seeing Yamada's pupils gradually losing their luster, Qin Zhibo held on to Yamada's arm tightly, not wanting to let go.

The look of reluctance in his eyes made Tomoaki Shinde next to him a little moved.

But suddenly, Yamada, whose head had begun to lean back due to the relaxation of his muscles, suddenly became clearer and his pupils refocused.

"The source of this destruction comes from the Old Ones, who existed countless eons ago."

"He will awaken from his slumber, ending your era of human rule..."

"By then, everything in human civilization will be gone."

"Eventually, time will turn back, and His era will once again come to this land..."

The brainwave frequency conveyed by Yamada suddenly became smoother, and there was even a sense of tragic and epic destiny that was irresistible.

Qin Zhibo knew that this was the legendary return of light.

But right now, he was more concerned about the message conveyed by Yamada - the so-called "world-destroying crisis" was caused by the Old Ones?

Qin Zhibo had known about this term before, but he hadn't heard anyone mention it for a long time recently.

According to Qin Zhibo's own definition, the Great Old Ones refer to a series of non-human beings that ruled the world in the past, all of whom can be called "Great Old Ones."

It can also be said that this kind of existence is what is generally considered to be "God" in the minds of human beings.

God, Zeus, Odin, Gautama Buddha...they are all revered as gods.

It’s just that these are conceptual existences, which can be called “conceptual gods”.

The Old Ones are a more concrete type of existence. They may not have many believers, but the divine power or great power they spread still affects mankind to this day.

The god of toads, Tsatogua, is one of the old rulers that Qin Zhibo has seen with his own eyes.

His great power is not only this weird body like a black-haired toad, but also the vast and boundless magical knowledge.

To humans, He is God.

Also the Great Old Ones.

There is also Hastur, the king in yellow, who should also belong to the old rulers.

The power of the King in Yellow is to bring ominous dreams to mankind, and Mao Lilan has suffered from it before.

Humans related to the King in Yellow incident will gradually fall into a state of madness unless they have an iron will.

Such existences indeed possess indescribable power.

But to say that they destroy mankind seems to be an exaggeration.

After all, their bodies are either imprisoned in a universe far away from the earth, or they are not interested in human beings at all and just want to sleep lazily...

There was still a lot of information that Yamada explained that he couldn't understand, so Qin Zhibo planned to seize the time and continue asking.

He used the skill [Psychic Communication] he learned from the Kunyang people to convey messages with his mental power just by looking into Yamada's eyes.

"Which Old One are you talking about?" Qin Zhibo asked.

Yamada: “I don’t know either…”

"Then what makes you so sure that a certain Great Old One is about to destroy the world?"

Yamada's eyes moved slightly, and his dry lips

I tried hard, but it was difficult to do.

He continued to transmit brainwave frequencies to Qin Zhibo, saying, "Human, you still don't understand..."

"This world originally belonged to them. All they did was return to the era when they could rule freely..."
