Conan Rick's Investigator

"Really?" Benniu was silent for a long time before he choked up and asked, "Then my father..."

"……Feel sorry."

Qin Zhibo remembered that Khashoggi had talked about the fate of the old Indian, who was the first person to be executed that year.

Chapter 1005 The first experience of particleization

Qin Zhibo chatted with Benniu on the phone again, including what he saw and heard in the underground world. Benniu decided to come to New York in person to deliver the luggage.

Qin Zhibo was a little surprised by Benniu's decision. After all, for the Indians who had never left the reservation since birth, going to New York was as difficult as entering Kunyang.

"Actually, many young people in the tribe have left the reservation. I'm just following their lead..."

"And you, my friend, you are the real hero."

Benniu admires Qin Zhibo from the bottom of his heart and calls him a hero.

Because he had witnessed countless explorers going underground since his father's generation. Most of them never returned, or came back with dislocated organs, or fell into complete madness, and living was no different from being dead.

Qin Zhibo should be the first one to come back in perfect condition, and he traveled to New York, two thousand kilometers away, in an incredible way.

The legendary experience here is comparable to the legend of any Indian hero.

……

After ending the call, Qin Zhibo stretched his body, circled left three times, then right three times, preparing to test an important skill he had picked up from the corpse of the Kunyang people - particleization.

Particleization is a special skill that the Kunyang people have studied and trained over a long period of time. It involves changing the balance between material and spiritual energy, even including living organic life forms.

Even with greater effort and subtler technique, solid matter can be transformed into free particles and then reassembled without causing any harm to the object itself.

The power source of this technology is not any existing scientific form of energy, such as electrical energy, atomic energy, thermal energy, etc., nor is it a mysterious force such as magic.

This relies on willpower, that is, mental strength and the power of thinking.

Therefore, intelligent humans can also master this skill through some special training.

However, the Kunyang people, as an ancient race that has witnessed the "Twilight of the Gods", have a stronger will than most humans, and are generally better at this skill than humans who have received the same training.

The actual effect of humans using this skill is not perfect, and there may even be a risk of getting stuck.

Therefore, for those humans who are valuable enough to settle in Kunyang, the people of Kunyang will generously pass on their skills to outsiders.

Coincidentally, Qin Zhibo's iron will is as high as 90, which is a common "martial arts genius with amazing bones and one in a million" in martial arts novels.

Qin Zhibo checked his skills. Currently, the skill is at level 2 and he has mastered a certain degree of particleization ability.

Logically speaking, if the wall wasn't too thick or too dense, he would be able to pass through it now.

Qin Zhibo glanced at the presidential suite and felt that the walls were a bit thick.

In order to meet the sound insulation needs of some guests when exploring the mysteries of the human body, the wall materials used in these rooms will be much denser.

If you fail to cross this kind of wall, your body may get stuck in the wall, and you will be in a dilemma.

If the body cannot escape from this condition for a long time, the particles of the body will merge with the particles of the wall, and at that time death will basically be nearby.

After comprehensive consideration, Qin Zhibo decided not to go through the wall first and start with the door with lower difficulty.

The room doors in the suite are all high-end wooden doors, and both the thickness and material are relatively easy to pass through.

When he arrived at the door of his room, Qin Zhibo first raised his left arm, staring at it intently, and constantly hinting at something in his mind.

Particles, particles, particles, particles...

Although this skill is driven by willpower, its actual operation is actually equivalent to psychological suggestion, constantly suggesting that the corresponding position enters a particle state.

Therefore, this skill is particularly difficult for first-time users.

Because people who use skills for the first time have never seen themselves enter the particle state, their brains will subconsciously judge that this is false and unreliable.

The more you are burdened by "common sense", the less able you are to use this ability. If you don't believe in it, you don't have it.

Because of this reason, although humans can theoretically use this skill, no one has ever developed it.

Qin Zhibo held up his arm, and his brain kept suggesting that his arm could be particleized.

His logical thinking told him that this was absolutely impossible, just like the many pseudosciences such as "qigong masters" and "human special abilities" that were popular in the last century.

But his memory and experience told him that this was possible, and he kept replaying in his mind the scene of his first meeting with Khashoggi, when Khashoggi walked directly through the door in a particle state.

Particles, particles, particles...

Qin Zhibo didn't know how many times he repeated this simple yet complex request in his heart, and he felt that the arm in his sight became somewhat transparent.

This is not visual fatigue caused by staring at one thing for a long time, but true transparency.

Furthermore, the degree of transparency was gradually increasing, the flesh color slowly disappearing, revealing dense spider-web-like purple veins, strands of muscle lines, and the white bones...

Qin Zhibo was surprised for a moment, and his arm trembled. The particleization suddenly stopped, and his arm returned to its original state.

“So this is how it’s particleized…”

Qin Zhibo had only seen the result of Hassagi's particleization and passing through the door, but had not personally witnessed the process of his body entering particleization. It was normal for him to be a little surprised now.

After calming down, Qin Zhibo tried again.

With the experience just now, the time to enter particleization was shortened a lot this time. It took less than 10 minutes for the arm to enter a translucent state.

Qin Zhibo looked at his translucent arm and knew that this was the normal state of complete particleization.

After being completely particleized, the internal blood vessels and bones cannot be seen, just like a virtual character created by three-dimensional projection.

Qin Zhibo slowly extended his hand towards the door until the two of them touched.

At this moment, Qin Zhibo felt a resistance in his brain. This resistance was like putting his hand into a gurgling stream. It was not weak, but it did not form an obstacle either.

As the force pushed forward, Qin Zhibo could feel that the resistance at the front of his arm had disappeared.

This means that the front end of the arm has entered the door, but the middle of the arm is still stuck in the door in a translucent state.

Qin Zhibo tried to turn his arm and grab the metal door handle behind the door, and sure enough, he felt a cold touch.

"bumped into!"

Normally, in a particle state, it is impossible to touch any object, just like Obito's hollowing ability, which makes it impossible to attack the moment it becomes hollow.

However, Qin Zhibo's particleization is an immature one, and is quite strict in distinguishing materials.

The denser the material, the more particle-like it is required to move through it.

For example, in terms of difficulty of crossing, wooden doors are the easiest, stone doors are second, and iron doors are the most difficult.

However, with Qin Zhibo's current level of particleization, he could only pass through thin wooden doors and could not pass through metal materials, which was why he was able to touch the metal door handle.

Qin Zhibo tried to turn the door handle hard. As his arm slowly exerted force, the angle of the door handle changed little by little.

You can't be impatient about this kind of thing. If you use too much force, even if the level of particleization is not high enough, some particles can still be forced in.

After trying to twist it slightly, Qin Zhibo ended the experiment and retracted his arm.

As the thought moved, the arm trembled violently, and then returned to normal.

Checking the proficiency of the particleization skill again, it has quietly increased by 100 points.

……

Qin Zhibo rested for a while and decided to continue trying this bug-solving skill.

Now, he was going to try to put his head right through the door.

Passing through a door using your limbs is essentially the same, so there's no need to try it out here.

But using your head to pass through a door is different. You may witness the moment when your body passes through another substance with your own eyes.

This experiment is very special. It is my first time, so I guess it will take more time to become proficient in it.

After making preparations, Qin Zhibo came to the door again and silently repeated "particle" in his mind countless times.

In order to assist in entering the particle state and to confirm whether he had entered the particle state, Qin Zhibo held a mirror in his right hand, in which he could see his head.

“Particles, particles, particles, particles…”

“Particles, particles, particles…”

As time went on, Qin Zhibo's face above the neck gradually became distorted.

The moment he entered the semi-particle state, his skin disappeared, revealing the pink muscles and bones underneath, and two round eyeballs staring straight at him in the mirror.

Ah!

I'm so ugly...

Qin Zhibo was shocked for a moment, but fortunately he was mentally prepared in advance and did not interrupt the particleization.

Once it was completely particleized, the strange skull shape completely disappeared and turned into a normal translucent head.

Qin Zhibo put the mirror down and stuck his head into the door.

This time, I still felt a resistance from the top of my head, but I got in with a little force.

The moment his eyes passed through the door, Qin Zhibo saw a patch of black hairy teeth, and his eyeballs felt a little rustling, but other than that there was nothing special.

Qin Zhibo put his whole brain behind the door and saw his own room behind it.

Thinking...quick thinking, high IQ.

The field of view is no different from normal viewing.

As for the sound...

“Here’s johnne——!”

Qin Zhibo shouted this towards the door, and it sounded normal to his ears.

In other words, the particle-based brain's thinking, vision, and sound are all unrestricted, which is pretty good.

From today on, I can walk through walls.

However, compared to Minase Yomu who can "pass through walls" in ghost form, his own abilities need to be prepared, and at this stage he cannot pass through any material at will. In terms of flexibility, he is definitely far inferior to Minase Yomu.

But the practical value of this ability is unimaginably high.

If a bad guy masters this ability, he can commit a closed-room murder at will.

Thinking of this, Qin Zhibo couldn't help but think of Karasuma Renya, who might have acquired this ability a hundred years ago.

In a hundred years, to what extent will Karasuma Renya develop this ability?

But it is foreseeable that conventional human methods of arrest will no longer be effective on him, and handcuffs, prisons, etc. cannot trap him.

The strength of this organization's big boss has far exceeded everyone's imagination...

Qin Zhibo was thinking in his mind when he suddenly heard Koizumi Hongzi's shouting from outside the door.

"what--!"

Qin Zhibo was startled and immediately realized that Koizumi Hongzi had finally finished taking a bath.

He quickly retracted his head and at the same time released the particleization.

But even so, Koizumi Hongzi had already seen that his head had disappeared, leaving only the base of his neck against the door.

"Your head! Why did your head disappear just now?"

Koizumi Hongzi, wrapped in a bathrobe, was shocked and pointed at Qin Zhibo's head and asked.

Qin Zhibo was a little embarrassed and could only smile and scratch his head, "Actually, I'm practicing a kind of time-travel magic that Kaito taught me..."

"Kuroba-san's magic?" Koizumi Hongzi frowned doubtfully, her two slender arms resting in front of her normally developed chest.

After hesitating for a few seconds, Koizumi Hongzi turned her head and walked towards her room.

She walked with her back to him, saying, "Hei Yu's little tricks are just to trick children. Magic is worthless in the face of real magic!"

As a staunch supporter of the value of magic, Koizumi Akako did not forget to disparage magic.

Although she was also very curious about how the magic trick of putting the head through the door was done, there was clearly no hole in the door.

But she would not ask about the principles of magic, because that would make her seem inferior.

Qin Zhibo just grasped Koizumi Akako's character. He also knew that as long as he said this, Koizumi Akako would not ask any more questions.

Tsundere is so easy to deal with!
