Conan Rick's Investigator

Qin Zhibo tried his best to swim towards a large patch of light on the sea above his head. In order to increase his strength, he even wore the [Gift of the Golden Tree], which further accelerated his ascent through the improvement of strength and agility.

The disadvantage of doing this is that it may cause embolism, decompression sickness, and in severe cases, death.

But compared to being torn into pieces like a dolphin and having the sea water dyed red with blood, this way of dying is much gentler.

But just when he felt that he was about to break through the barrier of sea water, Qin Zhibo felt a sharp force pressing on his ankle.

Looking down, he saw that it was that damned "merman" that had grabbed his feet.

Its power was incredibly great. Although Qin Zhibo desperately waved his arms to swim upwards, his body was still pulled down uncontrollably.

Although Qin Zhibo's mission was to kill this curious creature, and his current high-altitude position could easily cause fatal injuries, Qin Zhibo had no weapons at hand and could only allow it to drag him.

Damn!

Qin Zhibo: Will -10

But just as the two bodies sank to a certain depth together, an ocean current hit them from the side.

Faced with this more powerful deep-sea force, Qin Zhibo and the "mermaid" were unable to maintain their bodies and could only go with the flow.

The rumbling sound of the undercurrent of the sea sounded like the whispers of an ancient god, stimulating Qin Zhibo's eardrums.

Qin Zhibo felt that his body was in terrible condition. His lungs were swollen and painful, and his ears were stinging.

But even so, he forced himself to calm his mind, and with a sudden inspiration, he pulled out the [Inspiration Gun] from the prop column.

Qin Zhibo didn't know if this would work, but it was at least worth a try.

In the fierce ocean current, it was difficult for Qin Zhibo to aim his gun at the mermaid holding his ankle, but in fact there was no need to aim. He just pulled the trigger and fired three bullets.

The shallow ripples of water sank into the ugly and deformed head of the pufferfish, and some strange thoughts began to grow in the brain of the "mermaid".

Did you turn off the gas this morning?

Mermaid: “?”

Did you close the door when you went out this morning?

Mermaid: “?”

Is the child yours?

Mermaid: “?”

Mermaid: “!”

At the dual intersection of the fierce ocean current and the torrent of thoughts, the "mermaid" loosened her smooth gray-green palm.

A large group of horse mackerels swam over at this time, separating Qin Zhibo and the "mermaid", and the two were quickly separated.

Thank you, Fishman!

……

On the beach, Conan and Ran Maoli kept looking at the sea, but so far there was no movement that could cause a ripple on the calm sea.

"Why hasn't Mr. Qin come back in 20 minutes?" Mao Lilan said anxiously while looking at the sea.

Previously, Daito Kanhiko said that the undercurrent in the waters near the island was very turbulent, and even professional divers would not dare to try it easily, but Qin Zhibo still insisted on diving against all odds.

If I die...

The image of Qin Zhibo drowning in the sea wearing a diving suit appeared in Mao Li Ran's mind, and her mood fell to the bottom.

Conan, who was standing aside, glanced at Ran Mouri, whose eyes were already filled with tears, and felt a little distressed.

"Sister Xiaolan, Uncle Qin should just be doing segmented decompression."

"The water pressure in the deep sea is very high. If you ascend too quickly, it will cause gas embolism. You need to stop for 10 to 3 minutes every 5 meters to consume the gas dissolved in the blood and tissues."

Although I didn't have time to take diving courses in Hawaii, I still learned this basic common sense easily.

With Conan's scientific knowledge, Mao Lilan calmed down a little, clasped her hands together and prayed silently.

Almost at the same moment, the calm on the sea was suddenly broken, and a human head popped out.

Of course, this human head is connected to the body, and it is Qin Zhibo.

Conan felt a little emotional when he saw Qin Zhibo, who immediately surfaced as soon as Mao Li Ran prayed.

Xiaolan, aren't you lucky all these years, but... a prophet?

……

Qin Zhibo swam to the shore with difficulty, but the pain and weakness all over his body made it difficult for him to maintain consciousness and he fainted.

Ran Mouri and Conan quickly ran over in the slightly cool sea water and brought Qin Zhibo back to the shore.

The sharp-eyed Conan saw at a glance that Qin Zhibo's diving suit was torn at his ankle, with three sharp blood marks on it.

This is……

Conan narrowed his eyes slightly, feeling that it might be caused by scratches from coral while diving, but it didn't seem likely.

Mao Lilan took off the luggage bag on Qin Zhibo's shoulder, but as soon as she took it off, a lively horse mackerel jumped out of it.

This is a horse mackerel that was washed into the luggage bag by the undercurrent. It didn't intend to get into the bag, but it was indeed an act of force majeure by nature.

However, the appearance of this fish made Mao Lilan conclude that Qin Zhibo was exhausted because of fishing.

"Woo-"

Mao Lilan shed tears of emotion, and other local people watching also praised Qin Zhibo's masculinity.

……

In the end, Qin Zhibo's savior, Fish Man, sacrificed his body in the flames and became food for Maoli Ran and Conan.

and so……

Thank you, Fishman!

Qin Zhibo did not wake up until the rescue boat arrived, rescued everyone, and sent Qin Zhibo to the hospital in Jinzhen.

No one knows what Qin Zhibo encountered in the sea...

Chapter 475 A Dream, a Voice Changing Technique

The next morning, Qin Zhibo opened his eyes on the hospital bed and stared at the ceiling blankly.

He had a dream, a very long dream.

The dream was about two slimy octopuses lying on the ground fighting. One of them was dark yellow and the other was blue-green.

At first, the two octopuses just pulled each other's tentacles and sprayed ink at each other.

Later, the octopuses' fight escalated and they began to eat each other's tentacles and sac-like heads.

However, both octopuses have the ability to regenerate their bodies. No matter how they bite each other, their powerful regenerative ability can ensure that both will not die.

Thus, the battle lasted for quite a long time. During this time, Qin Zhibo stood by and looked down, watching for who knows how long.

At a certain moment, Qin Zhibo finally couldn't bear it anymore and tried to stop the fight.

But just as Qin Zhibo was about to bend down and reach out to pull the two octopuses apart, a figure next to him stopped him.

It turned out that there were other beings watching the "octopus fight" with Qin Zhibo, but Qin Zhibo had been looking down at the octopus fight and did not see these beings.

The first person was a human figure standing in a cloud of mist.

The second person was a sheep's hoof as tall as a human.

The third person is a "Little Black" with no facial features.

The first person who reached out to stop Qin Zhibo was the hazy figure in the mist.

He just waved his hand in the mist, and Qin Zhibo knew that this meant he should not stop the octopus from fighting.

Then he raised his hand and pointed to the sky, signaling Qin Zhibo to look up.

When Qin Zhibo looked up as he wished, he saw a semicircular dome above his head woven from countless pieces of boiling meat. In the middle of the dome was an eye, coldly staring at everything below.

The dream ended abruptly here.

……

After recalling the bizarre dream, Qin Zhibo raised his head slightly, looked around, and found himself in a clean ward.

Mao Lilan was sleeping soundly on the edge of the bed. Judging from the dark circles under her eyes that seemed a little tired, she must have been here all night.

On the left side of his field of vision, Qin Zhibo saw system information that he had not yet confirmed.

[Congratulations on completing the side mission]

[Task settlement rating: B]

[Acquire 1000 general skill proficiency]

[Get 200 social credits]

[Rating Reward: 500 Pass Skill Proficiency]

The rewards for this isolated island side quest are quite generous. I gained 1500 general skill proficiency and brought the balance to 3070.

In the past few weeks, 3000 general skill proficiency would have been enough to buy a good mall item. But this week, except for the [Deep Dive Potion] and the [Fireproof Suit] I already bought, I couldn't afford any other items.

The very cool [Voice Changing Technique] is now available for purchase.

Qin Zhibo had an idea and spent 2000 proficiency points to buy the voice changing technique from the mall.

-

Voice Changing: This refers to your ability to transform your voice. Improving this skill will increase the number of your voice lines, improve your ability to imitate various voices, and become proficient in switching between various voices.

Rating: 1

Proficiency: 100/1000

(I’m a girl! Can you believe it?)

……

Although Dr. Agasa's technology can make up for this skill, the power granted by technology always has its inconveniences.

For example, Qin Zhibo often appears in a brown windbreaker. If he wears a bow-shaped voice changer or a collar-shaped voice changer, the style will be quite weird.

Qin Zhibo, who had just acquired the voice-changing skill and was lying on the hospital bed, wanted to give it a try first.

Whose voice should I try?

Seeing Ran Mouri sleeping soundly, Qin Zhibo decided to try a lower-difficulty one first, which is Conan's voice.

Conan's voice is a typical shota voice, which is not too difficult for Qin Zhibo, who has a level 1 voice changing skill, to imitate.

The first thing is to get the feel for it and make your voice a little deeper.

"what……"

"what……"

"what……"

Although it was the same content, Qin Zhibo's tone became lower and lower, and the position of his voice became further and further back.

Secondly, open your mouth into an O shape, so that the sound comes out more like a cute little boy.

Then...

"Sister Xiaolan..."

The moment Qin Zhibo said this, Mao Lilan, who was lying beside the bed, trembled her ears, slowly sat up, and wiped her sleepy eyes with her hands.

"Conan...what's wrong?"

You can even hear this! You're really taking it too seriously, aren't you?

Qin Zhibo realized that he had gotten into trouble and quickly fell asleep. At this moment, Conan pushed open the door and came in from outside.

"Sister Xiaolan, are you awake?"

"Huh?" Mao Lilan was a little puzzled. "Didn't you wake me up?"

Conan was full of question marks and quickly shook his head innocently, "No, I just came in, and when I came in, I saw that you, Xiaolan, were already awake."
