Conan Rick's Investigator

"Fuck-!"

Chapter 1525 Escape

As a colloquialism used by many Chinese men, "wo cao" does not have a target orientation in most situations and is simply a relatively strong interjection.

The same is true for Qin Zhibo at the moment.

Just a moment ago, he saw a skull covered with crimson tentacles flying towards him through the green fog.

In that critical situation, his body trembled with nervousness, and he raised his hand and fanned something over.

When he came to his senses again, he found that his soul had returned to the bottom of the cabin.

And in front of him stood a naked woman's body.

The woman had fair skin and a well-proportioned figure, the only flaw being that there were marks of sharp cuts on her arms and waist.

And above the woman's neck, the iconic head was gone.

This is……

Qin Zhibo was instantly frightened and broke out in a cold sweat, subconsciously taking a half step back.

At this time, the woman's body could not support herself and she fell to the ground.

Red liquid flowed out from the cross section of the neck.

But if you look closely, you will find that it is not blood, but tiny red tentacles, like a ball of twisting red nematodes.

Even the blood vessels inside are constantly moving in the muscles.

This is... Wakasa Rumi?

Qin Zhibo suddenly remembered that he had come to the bottom of the cabin, met Wakasa Rumi, and then lost consciousness.

When I came to my senses again, I had already arrived at R'lyeh...

If the place where his consciousness just stayed was R'lyeh, and his body had been staying here, then it was very likely that the defensive action taken by his soul just now caused his body to kill Wakasa Rumi.

As for what was used to cut it, of course it was the Oathkeeper Sword.

Qin Zhibo glanced at the big sword in his right hand, then looked at the head on the ground that was half covered by long black hair.

That was indeed Wakasa Rumi's head.

I cut her down myself...

Just then, a familiar voice called out from a distance.

"Qin!"

"Come here quickly!"

Qin Zhibo turned his head and saw Conan, Akai Shuichi and others hiding carefully behind the boxes at the stairs.

"Come here!"

Conan leaned half of his body out and gestured with his hands, which slightly activated his still paralyzed brain.

Qin Zhibo put away the Oath-Keeping Sword, picked up the coat that had fallen off the ground and put it on.

Why should I take off my clothes?

Also, why did Wakasa Rumi take off her clothes as well?

In short, Qin Zhibo no longer cares about these details, or his will can no longer support this level of thinking.

In the eyes of Conan and others, Qin Zhibo was half naked, standing in the arms of the giant octopus, as if he had lost his mind.

Qin Zhibo bent over and ran over, and asked in front of Conan and the others' surprised gazes: "What are you doing?"

"What are you doing?" Akai Shuichi asked back.

"I……"

Qin Zhibo was speechless for a moment. The experience just now was too confusing and it was difficult to explain it clearly at the moment.

At this time, Akai Wuwu interrupted the two of them and said, "Now is not the time to talk about this. We plan to blow up Ksira..."

Although Elena just said that even an atomic bomb could not kill Ksira, this was just what she said and had not been verified.

Besides, this is the only means the rescue team has at the moment, so they can only try their best.

"Ksira?" Qin Zhibo frowned and asked, "Where is 'He'?"

"Isn't it right there?"

Akai Tsutomu pointed to the aquarium.

Qin Zhibo looked in the direction of his finger and could only see a calm aquarium.

But the next second, a ripple appeared in the field of vision, as if there was a fluctuation in space, and the field of vision was replaced by a new scene.

A giant crimson octopus sits atop a pile of human bones.

"drink!"

Qin Zhibo widened his eyes in surprise, wondering why he didn't see it just now?

After Conan's further explanation, Qin Zhibo realized that Wakasa Rumi was the humanized form of Ksira, and that he was standing with Wakasa Rumi just now.

He did not act rashly because he was worried that he would be held hostage by Wakasa Rumi.

So, Qin Zhibo also told Conan that he had chopped off Wakasa Rumi's head.

Everyone followed Qin Zhibo to the center of the pile of bones with a skeptical attitude, and sure enough, they saw Wakasa Rumi's body lying on the ground.

The giant octopus also stopped moving.

Her body was torn apart and, from a human perspective, she was as dead as could be.

But she cannot be regarded as an ordinary human being.

Even Qin Zhibo couldn't see the point of investigating the corpse.

To be on the safe side, everyone decided to place all the C4 bombs here.

Although this would sink the ship and destroy the criminal evidence on board, it was at least better than leaving a huge hidden danger.

But just as Akai and his son were about to place the bomb, the entire tanker's hull suddenly shook.

bang.

There was a dull thumping sound that seemed to come from the bottom of the boat, causing everyone to immediately stop what they were doing and stop to listen.

Immediately afterwards, the same crashing sound came from the bottom of the boat.

bang...

This time it was even more violent, and the entire tanker shook.

"Is it a tsunami?" Akai Shuichi guessed subconsciously.

"No, it should be something hitting the tanker."

Akai Tsutomu analyzed.

Qin Zhibo suddenly remembered that if everything that had just happened was true, he should have dressed up as the King in Yellow and killed Cthulhu's daughter right under his nose.

And this place is in the South Pacific, the closest place to R'lyeh...

"Quick! So everyone, get out of here!"

"The ship is sinking!"

Qin Zhibo quickly called out to everyone.

Everyone was stunned for a moment, but still chose to follow.

They returned to the upper deck via the stairs.

At this time, the shaking of the ship became more violent, accompanied by the sound of metal explosion as some huge force squeezed the hull of the tanker.

Everyone could only keep fleeing to the upper deck.

Originally, Gin resisted to run away, but for the sake of subsequent intelligence, Akai Tsuchimichi knocked him unconscious and carried him on his back.

Elena Miyano was quite cooperative.

Conan and Haibara Ai were picked up by Qin Zhibo one by one.

When everyone arrived on the deck of the tanker, they found that the surrounding sea surface was boiling and surging with countless waves.

If you look closely, you can see thick tentacles constantly extending from the dark sea and stirring it.

These tentacles climbed up the tanker along the hull and were gradually dragging the entire tanker into the sea.

"quick!"

"This way!"

Just when everyone didn't know how to escape next, a voice came from a distance.

It was Cohen standing in front of the tarmac greeting everyone, where a helicopter was parked.

Qin Zhibo and others boarded a helicopter and took off at the last moment before the tentacles climbed onto the deck.

When the helicopter reached a safe altitude, the sky in the distance was just beginning to turn pale.

The dawn sunlight shines on the sea, dispelling the long darkness.

Everyone looked through the hatch to the sea below, and saw that the huge oil tanker had been entangled by countless tentacles and completely dragged into the sea.

Chapter 1526 Popular Culture Symbols - "Cthulhu"

As Kshira disappeared, the green signals on electronic device screens around the world disappeared one after another.

Shibahama Stadium in Japan.

As the green on the large central screen above the stadium gradually faded, the green in people's pupils disappeared as well.

The people in the audience recovered from their stiff postures one after another, as if time had resumed flowing.

Ran Mouri blinked her dry eyes, was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at "Kudo Shinichi" beside her.

And Kuroba Kaito also looked at Mao Li Ran.

The two looked at each other, not knowing where to start.

"Shinichi, I seem to have had a long dream..."

"Me too……"

……

Outside the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, citizens who were participating in the "riot" stopped what they were doing and looked around in confusion.

On the other side of the corridor, the police officers who were still guarding the Metropolitan Police Department saw that the citizens' emotions seemed to have calmed down, and they lowered their riot shields slightly.

"It should be Qin and his team that succeeded..."

Kudo Yusaku turned his head to look at Megure on the side, and a forced smile appeared on his tired face.

"It's time for us to counterattack..."

……

It was four days later that the rescue team returned to Tokyo, Japan from the South Pacific.

Through the concerted efforts of all sectors of society, the damaged city began to be rebuilt.

All efforts are being made to rescue those injured in this incident.

It may be because most of the world's human beings share the "green signal", that is, Cthulhu's ego will, so the weakening of will borne by individuals is not as serious as imagined.

Almost everyone in the world who has been controlled by the "Green Signal" will have their willpower permanently reduced by 1 to 3 points.

It’s just that the content of Cthulhu’s dream began to spread widely around the world.

In order to appease the public, international officials issued a global notice on the third day after the incident, attributing everything to a new type of information bomb used by terrorists.
