Conan Rick's Investigator

At this moment of sanity collapse, Hideo Kawashima's brain was unable to make any choices on its own.

Perhaps even he himself could not understand why he shot and killed his accomplice who was clinging to his body.

However, it is certain that the suffering he suffered at this time was no less than that of his two accomplices.

Hideo Kawashima's eyes were bloodshot and dilated.

Blood flowed slowly from the corners of his mouth, eyes, and ears, as if there was some kind of physical stirring rod in his brain stirring it violently over and over again.

When the fierce gunshots rang out, it seemed to reawaken a trace of self-awareness in Hideo Kawashima.

In this last moment of self-awareness, Hideo Kawashima chose to resist the great force that dominated his destiny.

Pia! Pia! Pia!

……

Hideo Kawashima raised his arm, glared at the sky fiercely, and then pointed the black muzzle of his gun at the sky that was emitting a strange light and fired continuously.

Trying to fight against God with a human body!

Hideo Kawashima, a real man!

The smoke cleared, and the shells flew—

It was unknown whether the orange-yellow star and the great being on the star were injured, but Hideo Kawashima's pistol magazine was empty.

Click, click...

Hideo Kawashima's finger was still on the trigger, as if he didn't hear the information the pistol was directly feeding back to him.

Or perhaps during the time it took to fire these few shots, Hideo Kawashima's brain no longer had the ability to capture information from the sound.

His san value has returned to zero...

Qin Zhibo watched the entire scene, and in the corner of his vision, Qin Zhibo also saw Ma Chengshi lying in the grass.

Qin Zhibo took difficult steps and came to Ma Chengshi's side.

At this time, Ma Chengshi's condition was not optimistic. There were two lines of blood in his wide-open eyes. The fear in his face was very faint, and he looked a little like he was in dementia.

Fortunately, in this world of pain that is enough to tear apart cognition, Ma Chengshi's bleeding was not too much.

When Qin Zhibo put his arms around Ma Chengshi's head, his character card gradually appeared on it.

Name: Ma Chengshi

……

Will: 10

9, 8...

Chapter 102: Rescue Ma Sheng

Ma Chengshi's will has entered the countdown stage.

This ever-decreasing number seems to be the countdown of Ma Chengshi's life.

Perhaps the return of will to zero does not mean death in the biological sense, but for rationally driven creatures like humans, it is no different from death.

At the same time, Qin Zhibo received a new prompt.

You have witnessed the wonders of Aldebaran.

[Congratulations on completing the main challenge mission]

[Mission Exploration Level: 80%]

[Acquire 2400 general skill proficiency]

[Gain 320 Weird Mythology Knowledge and Skill Proficiency]

[You have successfully passed the test of the great existence]

【Get a new task】

The main challenge mission was completed, and at the same time a new mission was obtained.

But at this time, Qin Zhibo had no time to think about his gains and losses.

As Qin Zhibo perceived, Ma Chengshi's will was still counting down.

7, 6, 5...

Not only that, Qin Zhibo's own vision also began to narrow gradually.

It was still the same green dry branches as before, extending from the edge of Qin Zhibo's vision like tentacles or parasites.

According to previous experience, this is a strange mechanism that will be triggered when one's willpower drops sharply to a certain range.

Qin Zhibo's willpower was only 30 left, but it was hardly decreasing anymore.

Until now, Qin Zhibo still doesn't know what this means.

However, if you continue to stay in this environment, these strange tentacles will completely cover your eyes.

Now I must leave immediately!

But looking at the hemp growing on the ground, Qin Zhibo hesitated.

I have completed the side quest entrusted in the letter of entrustment, but I have not received any completion message yet.

This side quest doesn't specify whether it involves rescuing Ma Chengshi in this situation, and Qin Zhibo isn't sure if it's worth trying to save Ma Chengshi.

but……

Damn it, done it!

In this chaotic storm, investigator Qin Zhibo still retains his sanity.

He immediately thought of an item that had been refreshed in the store this week, the Willpower Potions.

The effect of this item is to enhance a certain amount of willpower.

It's usually useless, but what if?

Qin Zhibo didn't have time to think about what the probability of this one in ten thousand was, and directly exchanged the item worth 500 proficiency points.

A glass bottle with a narrow mouth contains a green solution with a few white filaments in it, making it look a little turbid.

Qin Zhibo picked up Ma Sheng's solid head from the ground, peeled open his pale lips with his fingers, and inserted the bottle mouth between two rows of neat and white teeth.

The green solution was completely poured in and the glass bottle disappeared automatically, meaning that the consumable had been used up.

There was no time to observe the effect of the will-boosting drug, so he quickly retrieved the shroud next to Nishimoto Ken, then carried Masashi on his back and ran down the mountain.

When leaving the land ravaged by the "Dark Star", Qin Zhibo vaguely heard the melody of a piano sonata coming from behind him.

It was like Moonlight...

……

Qin Zhibo returned to the foot of the mountain, but instead of going back to Ma Chengshi's home, he went straight to the clinic.

The back door of the clinic was locked, so Qin Zhibo took out a crowbar from the system, pushed it hard at the gap in the back door, and the door opened.

After placing Ma Chengshi on the examination bed, Qin Zhibo personally turned on the light to examine him.

First is the will value.

Ma Chengshi's willpower value was as low as 4 points at its lowest.

I don’t know if it’s because he left the ruins or the effect of the will-boosting drug, but Ma Chengshi’s willpower is currently fluctuating around 20.

Qin Zhibo didn't know what a 20-point willpower meant, but his lowest point just now had already reached 30, so it shouldn't be a big deal...

Then comes the body.

Ma Chengshi had several respiratory arrests while going down the mountain, and it took him a long time to take a deep breath.

This should be severe breathing difficulties caused by bronchial spasm, which may be related to Ma Chengshi's weak physical condition since childhood.

In that extreme environment just now, the strong mental pressure was enough to cause a substantial impact on this weak body.

Suddenly, Ma Chengshi, who had just calmed down a little while lying on the examination bed, suddenly looked painful.

This expression of painful struggle is a sign of shortness of breath.

Qin Zhibo immediately gave Ma Shengshi mouth-to-mouth respiration, which was artificial respiration.

Thanks to the medical skills of the original owner Qin Zhibo, the artificial respiration movements and frequency were very standard, and he was also skilled enough.

After all, the original owner of this body used to be an FBI guy, so this kind of first aid skill is no problem at all.

After Qin Zhibo completed several sets of standard breathing movements, he leaned over Ma Chengshi's chest and listened, but there was no heartbeat.

Ma Chengshi's heart stopped beating...

Cardiac arrest indicates that the situation is more serious than expected, but it will not lead to immediate death, but rather shock.

There is still a last chance for rescue!

Based on the first aid knowledge in his mind, Qin Zhibo immediately searched the medicine cabinet in the clinic.

For an island like this that is some distance away from the land, even a rural clinic would definitely have that thing!

Qin Zhibo calmly and quickly scanned the rows of unrelated medicines in the medicine cabinet, and suddenly thought of something.

Even if this thing that can save lives or kill people is sold to ordinary people, they will not use it.

So I can only...

Qin Zhibo quickly rushed to the office inside the clinic, opened several drawers of the desk, and finally found a yellow cylindrical syringe.

Epinephrine Pen!

He took out the epinephrine injection pen, pulled out the needle cap, and forcefully inserted it into the numb outer thigh between the hip joint and the knee.

Holding the injection pen still, Qin Zhibo looked up at the clock on the wall.

When the second hand of the clock passes ten seconds, pull out the injection pen and massage the injection site for about ten seconds.

From now on, it all depends on Masashi Mitsuki's own fate.

Qin Zhibo silently watched Ma Chengshi lying quietly, and time passed by bit by bit.

Until one moment, Ma Chengshi suddenly took a deep breath and his chest began to rise and fall again.

……

The next day.

The sun rose as usual, and the Maori family came out of the hotel as usual and went straight to the community center.

But as soon as we arrived near the community center, we saw a group of people gathered in front of the community center and confronting each other. The only policeman on the island was caught in the middle and was at a loss as to what to do.

Seeing this scene, Conan smelled something was happening and hurriedly urged Kogoro Mouri to go over and inquire about the situation.

"Make way, make way."

"what happened?"

When the old policeman saw Kogoro Mouri coming, he felt like he had seen a savior.

"Detective Mori! Mr. Kuroiwa Tatsuji and Mr. Kawashima Hideo didn't come home last night, and their families are here to find us."

The old policeman was busy and sweating. These were two wealthy families on the island, and he couldn't afford to offend either of them.

"It must be that guy Heiyan who is doing something bad to my uncle!" Kawashima Hideo's nephew led his men to shout.

Kuroiwa Tatsuji's daughter was not to be outdone and snapped, "My father is missing too. I can even say that Kawashima kidnapped my father!"

The two groups were arguing fiercely, and only Conan looked around and noticed something strange.

Where is Qin Zhibo?

According to this time yesterday, Qin Zhibo should have come out of Dr. Cheng Shi's house and met up with his group.

Could it be!

Conan's eyes widened as he suddenly thought of a possibility.

Did Qin Zhibo and Dr. Cheng Shi really "run into" the murderer at the beach on the day Kawashima Hideo was attacked?
