Conan Rick's Investigator

……

In the vision provided by the guard totem, Qin Zhibo was also surprised to see Asai Chengmi slowly walking out from behind the tree trunk.

This was a big surprise for Qin Zhibo, because he had already told him to just stay at home.

Isn't this just adding to the trouble?

What is he here for?

……

Facing the black muzzle of the gun, Asai Narumi was not afraid at all.

He stared closely at Hideo Kawashima, Tatsuji Kuroiwa, and Ken Nishimoto who was gradually waking up after being slapped, then slowly walked into the ruins of the fire shrouded in moonlight.

"Dr. Asai? What are you doing here?"

Hideo Kawashima narrowed his eyes slightly, and glared at Asai Narimi with a murderous look in his eyes, but in his mind he had already figured out the paradox that Asai Narimi was planning to harm him and others.

That is, Asai Narumi was a thin woman and it was impossible for her to carry Nishimoto Ken up the mountain.

Asai Narumi must have seen himself or others going up the mountain in the village, and then followed them all the way here?

But even so, Hideo Kawashima, who was seen illegally carrying a gun, had already made up his mind to kill.

If you want to blame someone, you can only blame her bad luck...

However, at this moment, Asai Narimi spoke a series of words that shocked Kawashima Hideo and others.

"My real name is Aso Minoru, and I'm the son of Aso Keiji, who was killed by you twelve years ago!"

"La Ni!" ×3

Ignoring the three people's shock, Asai Narimi continued calmly, "Three years ago, the death of the former village chief Kameyama Isamu was caused by me."

"And you..."

"Today I will avenge my father and my family!"

Asai Narumi's last words were shouted out, and his slightly hoarse voice echoed in the center of the open space.

After a few seconds, Kawashima and the other two, who had been staring with their mouths and eyes open, gradually calmed down and their brains accepted the current situation.

Kawashima Hideo sneered, "I never thought you would be Mr. Aso's son. This really surprises me..."

"Then today, no matter what, I can't let you go."

Hideo Kawashima raised his pistol and aimed at Asai Narimi's head.

Under the moonlight, Asai Chengmi did not move, slowly closed his eyes, only two lines of tears flowed from the corners of his eyes.

It's up to you now, Mr. Qin...

it's all over……

I'm coming, Dad...

Asai Narimi's heart was calling softly.

That’s right, this is Asai Narimi’s plan.

When Asai Narumi learned last night that Qin Zhibo's plan was to lure Kawashima and the other two to the former residence of Keiji Aso's family and try to use their conversation to expose their drug trafficking crimes, he also thought of this plan at the same time.

That is to use their own death to upgrade their crimes from drug trafficking to murder.

In Japan, the sentencing range for drug trafficking is just one month to seven years, while the upper limit for murder is much higher.

Therefore, Asai Narumi would rather sacrifice himself than punish these three enemies.

Moreover, by doing this, Asai Narumi did not feel any burden in his heart because his body was not stained with the blood of others.

If there is anyone's blood that must be stained, it is only my own blood.

and so……

I'm sorry, Mr. Qin.

I still can't forgive myself...

……

When Hideo Kawashima was about to pull the trigger, the moonlight suddenly dimmed.

Visibility in the fire ruins decreased at a rate visible to the naked eye, as if a huge cloud had just happened to float across the sky.

Everyone seemed to be attracted by an invisible force. They stopped what they were doing and looked up at the sky.

A huge gap suddenly appeared in the bright full moon!

The full moon turned into a new moon!

Through this gap, you can see the stars in the universe dotted in the darkness.

And in this deep space of the universe, the brightness of only one planet is gradually rising.

Its light poured out from the gap in the moon like a galaxy, and circles of indescribable halos scattered in the sky.

This halo is similar to the rainbow light of the relics behind the gods and Buddhas in the heavens. It looks soft, but it carries a brilliance that mortals cannot look directly at.

The strange and romantic light was impartial, like a spotlight on the stage, shining right on the land that had been scorched by fire twelve years ago.

Narumi Asai, Hideo Kawashima, Tatsuji Kuroiwa, Ken Nishimoto, Chihiro Qin.

At this moment, the five people bathed in the light of the galaxy could only look up and admire, regardless of their strength of will.

This is the minimum respect that the lower dimension shows to the higher dimension.

An ancient, macroscopic, cold, and forbidden knowledge was transmitted through the sticky and dense brain nerves of several people, and then only in Qin Zhibo's brain was it transformed into modern knowledge in an incomprehensible way.

……

This strange light comes from the 13th brightest star in the sky, a number not particularly appealing in Western culture...

[It is 68 light-years away from Earth, and its orange-yellow exterior is draped like a silk robe woven from the light of dusk.]

【At this moment, all the glory belongs to Aldebaran! 】

Chapter 101 A true man dares to face the unknown god

Next, the knowledge that poured into Qin Zhibo's brain along with the radiance of Aldebaran was no longer presented in the form of modern knowledge.

Instead, it continues to be instilled in some obscure and indescribable way.

Qin Zhibo could only vaguely know that there was a great being on this star. She was a great being beyond the scope of human imagination and above the rules of the universe.

Just the tip of the iceberg revealed by this great being is enough to drive ordinary humans into inextricable madness.

And at this moment, in this ruin that looked like the aftermath of a blaze twelve years ago, the power of the great god once again resonated with this place for some reason.

"...The yellow mark is a special mark that symbolizes this great being..."

"...The yellow mark represents unparalleled benefits and power, and is a blessing bestowed by God..."

"...Over the years, people may have come into contact with the Yellow Mark, either through ignorance or carelessness..."

"...When a certain celestial phenomenon occurs, the hidden yellow mark will be 'activated'..."

"... then, your sanity will be put to the test..."

"…If the test fails, humanity will fall completely into madness and become slaves of the great being…"

"...Once the test is successful, humanity will receive the mission assigned by this great being..."

"...Then, I fell into an even crazier truth..."

"...and today is the day when the test comes..."

"...Today is the day when Aldebaran and the Sun are in conjunction!"

Qin Zhibo murmured these words.

Qin Zhibo gradually understood everything.

It turned out that since he had received the blessing of the yellow mark, he was destined to accept the great test of Aldebaran and the sun.

The word "wonder" in the mission name also implies that this test comes from some kind of wonder.

In human cognition, anything that can be described as a "wonder" is not something that can be created by human power.

For example, the wonders of nature...

Among the wonders of nature, astronomical wonders are the greatest!

Dozens of light years away, the distant star Aldebaran only emits a beam of light, which is enough to destroy the rationality that humans have gradually generated, evolved, and perfected over tens of thousands of years.

Under this radiance, Qin Zhibo felt that the air around him was flowing in an irregular manner.

Hua Hua Hua——

The disorderly wind blew Qin Zhibo's brown windbreaker, and the weeds on the ruins also made unusual rustling sounds.

However, the strange thing was that outside of this radiance, there was nothing unusual in the areas illuminated by ordinary moonlight.

Calm and restlessness...

Under the radiance of Aldebaran, the world seems to be divided into the inner world and the outer world.

Everything in the surface world is false and not worth mentioning.

The great achievements made in the surface world, such as cognitive maturity, technological progress, and human rationality, are of no use in the inner world.

This inner world may seem small, but it is actually vast and boundless.

What governs the inner world is a greatness beyond human imagination, a feeling that reminds arrogant humans of the fear of being dominated by some powerful unknown.

Qin Zhibo looked up in a daze, and saw that Aldebaran in the gap of the moon was emitting colorful and brilliant light.

Its star seems to be magnifying, as if to occupy the entire consciousness of whoever is observing it.

In the face of this majestic, cold and solemn will, Qin Zhibo's iron will was also put to an unprecedented test.

The unparalleled mental power collided, even causing Qin Zhibo's brain nerves to pulsate!

While being rational, Qin Zhibo noticed that the will state in his character card was constantly updating.

[Will: 82]

[Will: 74]

[Will: 62]

……

Qin Zhibo had never seen the speed at which his willpower declined, like a glass of water being poured onto the sand at noon in the desert.

It can only make crackling sounds and evaporate rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Suddenly, a very loud sound came into Qin Zhibo's ears.

Pia!

A sound...

Pia!

Another sound...

Qin Zhibo forced his head to turn and look in the direction where the sound came from.

I saw Kawashima Hideo standing up from the ruins in the fierce wind, and a wisp of smoke from his pistol quickly dissipated in the wind.

There were two people on him, holding his waist and legs tightly.

Kuroiwa Tatsuji and Nishimoto Ken.

The expressions on the two men's faces were distorted with fear, especially Nishimoto Ken's skinny face, whose expression was like that of the person in the world-famous painting "The Scream".

Even on Ken Nishimoto's face, "The Scream" is not abstract at all, and even seems a little lacking in flavor.

Kuroiwa Tatsuji and Nishimoto Ken were in a similar situation, staring up at the sky, as if the entire sky was burning and bleeding, which made them shocked and terrified.

On the foreheads of these two people were bullet holes corresponding to the black muzzles of guns.

Dirty blood spread around the bullet hole, and it was also pitch black inside.
