Conan Rick's Investigator

"In this forest, you have to be careful of a creature called the 'Charming Rat'..."

Qin Zhibo didn't have much experience in strategies for entering the dreamland as a dreamer.

Since the last time he entered Wusa Town, Qin Zhibo has not had time to explore other places more deeply.

Qin Zhibo planned to wait until Kuroba Kaito could enter the Dreamland, and then find a way to go to the Tomb of Xin, and go to the secret realm of Kadath through the Nightmare as a dreamer.

In this way, even if you encounter an accident in a dream, you will only lose your identity in the dream and will not die in reality.

After Qin Zhibo's explanation, Kuroba Kaito couldn't help but feel a little discouraged.

Because he never remembered having any dreams about stairs, or even if he had dreamed about them, most people would forget such insignificant dreams.

But Qin Zhibo comforted him, saying that since he now knew of the existence of the Dreamland and had even been there in person, he would probably dream of the "stairs" soon.

Just seize the opportunity when the time comes.

Under Qin Zhibo's guidance, Kuroba Kaito and Terai Huang Zhisuke fell asleep, hoping to get the ticket to enter the dreamland as soon as possible.

But Qin Zhibo had no time to rest. He immediately packed his luggage and headed for the airport.

Because today is the day when the Suzuki Group transports "Sunflower" back to the country, Qin Zhibo, as one of the seven knights announced by Suzuki Jirokichi, will naturally escort it randomly.

On Qin Zhibo's side, all matters in the United States have been completed.

Koizumi Akako will contact Benniu herself, get the luggage and bring it back to Japan.

As for Kuroba Kaito and Terai Kōnosuke, they can come back with Koizumi Akako, since they are all quite familiar with each other now.

On the other hand, Qin Zhibo has to return to China in advance to make preparations for resurrecting Shuichi Akai and rescuing Hiroki Sawada.

It's time to make good on your promise.

……

Qin Zhibo arrived at the airport and the people from the Suzuki Group were already prepared.

In order to cooperate with Jiro Suzuki's sunflower exhibition plan, the Suzuki Group directly painted a Boeing 747 to look like a sunflower bush.

Cooperate with the Japanese media and prepare for a major publicity spree as soon as the plane lands.

After boarding the plane, Qin Zhibo found that even Charlie had come along.

The original plan was that Charlie was only responsible for the safety of "Sunflower" in the United States. Even if he came to Japan, as a foreign policeman, he had no law enforcement power.

But the notice sent by Kaito Kidd yesterday forced him to get involved in the entire Sunflower Exhibition.

The destruction caused by Kaito Kidd to Las Vegas is still vivid in people's minds. Charlie, who has a strong sense of justice, hates Kaito Kidd very much.

Qin Zhibo felt a little sorry about this.

In fact, Kaito Kidd no longer has any reason to attack "Sunflower".

I'm afraid Charlie's trip to Japan will be in vain.

As soon as he got on the plane, Qin Zhibo had to pass the first case, face pinching.

In order to prove that he was not Kaito Kid, Qin Zhibo pinched his face hard in front of Suzuki Jirokichi and others.

Only after seeing that there was no flaw on his face did Suzuki Jirokichi feel at ease to let the man go up.

At this time, a crew member also wanted to board the plane, and Suzuki Jirokichi quickly stopped him.

"Hey!"

"Let me confirm your identity!"

In order to save "Sunflower" from Kaito Kid, Suzuki Jirokichi went to great lengths.

On the plane, everyone was in danger, fearing that they would be knocked unconscious by the Kaito Kidd who appeared out of nowhere in the next second, and their identities would be replaced and their reputations would be ruined.

But they don't know that the real Kaito Kidd is now sleeping soundly in the hotel.

This is really a battle of wits and courage with the air.

……

After repeated facial checks, Suzuki Jirokichi confirmed the reliability of all personnel on the plane before notifying the captain's office for takeoff.

Woohoo~

After the plane took off, Qin Zhibo immediately put on an eye mask and began to catch up on his sleep.

During this rare moment of relaxation, Qin Zhibo once again entered the dreamland.

Still in the familiar town of Usa, Qin Zhibo once again came to the house of the wise man in the town and asked him how to help the "newcomer" pass through the Enchanted Forest safely.

Qin Zhibo was able to pass through the Enchanted Forest with great difficulty thanks to the special function of the [Magic Flute] against rodents.

This thing may work once, but it may not work a second time. After all, the Charming Rat is not an ordinary rat.

But Kuroba Kaito and Terai Kōnosuke do not have such abilities and will inevitably be in danger.

The wise man's answer was that there are two ways to safely pass through the Enchanted Forest. One is to make friends with the Enchanted Rats in the forest. The Enchanted Rats occasionally have some human friends, but the specific reasons and conditions are unknown.

The second way is to make friends with the cats in Usa Town. Humans who are protected by cats will not be easily threatened by the Charming Rat.

But the problem is that they haven't left the Enchanted Forest yet, so how can they make friends with the cats in Usa Town?

If they can make friends with the cats in Ulthar, why would they go back to the Enchanted Forest?

This is a paradox similar to "which came first, the chicken or the egg?"

So the only solution is for Qin Zhibo to take the cats from Usa Town to pick up Kuroba Kaito and the others.

"So how do you please the cats in Usa?"

"Then you will have to meet the town's Cat General." The wise man replied.

The Cat General is the commander of the cat army, so he is called "Cat General" or "Cat King".

With the introduction of the wise man, Qin Zhibo met the so-called "Cat General" of Wusa Town in a barn near the hillside outside the town.

There was a huge cat's nest on the beam of the barn. When the wise man came underneath, a huge cat's body poked out from the cat's nest.

This cat is huge, almost twice the size of an ordinary cat, with very thick brown and black fur and a nose somewhat like a lion.

Qin Zhibo made a quick distinction and found that this so-called "Cat General" was actually a Maine Coon cat based on its bloodline.

This is the largest and oldest cat breed in the United States. Due to its huge size, it is called the "gentle giant".

In addition to the Cat General, there are dozens of cats of various kinds poking their heads out from the haystacks in the barn, looking at Qin Zhibo and the wise man curiously.

"Human, what brings you here?"

General Cat climbed out of the cat's nest, walked on the beam domineeringly, then jumped down and landed on the ground where grains were scattered. His movements were quite agile.

But what surprised Qin Zhibo the most was that this cat general could actually speak!

The last time I saw a talking cat was when I watched "Tom and Jerry" and "Garfield".

The cat general only moved his lips slightly and uttered words that humans could understand.

Qin Zhibo couldn't tell what language it was, but he could understand it.

Under the introduction of the wise man, Qin Zhibo told General Cat the reason for his visit.

But General Cat wagged his tail and rejected Qin Zhibo's request.

"We and the Charming Rats have always maintained a non-invasion relationship. If I help you, the cats and rats will go to war, and the humans in Usa will suffer."

Qin Zhibo: "..."

It's a little hard to imagine that such words came from the mouth of a cat.

It really is a dreamland.

But at this time, the Cat General changed the subject and said, "Unless you can solve a problem that the cat tribe is currently facing..."

"What problem?"

"Erotic problem."

Chapter 1031 The system store is not refreshing?

said the Cat General, as he leaped from the barn beam to the cornstack.

"There are too many cats in Wusa Town right now. If the number is not controlled, there will be a shortage of food, and eventually the cat tribe will collapse."

"Furthermore, once a cat enters its Q phase, its combat effectiveness will be greatly weakened..."

General Cat jumped onto another haystack, raised his hand and slapped the head of the orange Garfield cat who was making "Hehehe" sounds at a female cat with his claws.

Garfield was hit on the head and let out a shrill howl. He quickly jumped off the mother cat and ran out of the barn.

"You know what? Kittens nowadays have no discipline. I just want to set an example, even though it's not easy..."

The Cat General mentioned "Come here cat" as soon as he opened his mouth, which made Qin Zhibo admire him a little. As a cat, he thought about things in the same way as a human.

He also understood General Cat's problem. In fact, there were too many cats in the town. When the cats collectively entered the period of growth, it would bring all kinds of troubles.

In the waking world, there is a solution to this problem.

"The best solution to this problem is..."

"Cut it off to perpetuate the rule!"

"Cut it off to permanently cure it?"

"That's right." Qin Zhibo nodded and explained seriously, "The most important reason why cats are so cute is that they have an organ that secretes a hormone that causes them to have a strong desire to reproduce..."

"The best way to completely solve this problem is to remove the organ that secretes the hormone."

"As long as it is cut off, the problem will be solved forever."

The cat general's expression flickered and his tail shook slightly, as if he was thinking.

After a few seconds, it asked, "Is the organ you're talking about here?"

The Cat General stood up and pointed with his paw at a special location that was often marked with an X in comics.

Qin Zhibo replied: "About the right amount, a little lower..."

"here?"

"Ah."

General Cat looked down at his two egg-shaped bodies, and suddenly a "slight sadness" came over him.

"No! If this thing is gone, I'll be in so much pain!"

General Cat suddenly jumped up, his fur on his back standing up, and roared at Qin Zhibo.

Qin Zhibo quickly explained, "I'm not making this up. This is a very common cat sterilization procedure in the waking world."

"As long as this surgery is done, the spread of diseases will be prevented, and cats with genetic diseases or gene defects will not pass on their problems to the next generation."

"Plus, sterilization surgery reduces the risk of disease. Female cats stop meowing and male cats stop urinating randomly, ensuring discipline and controlling the cat population."

"In the waking world, human servants called 'poop scoopers' will perform this surgery on their beloved cat masters, and the cats will gladly accept it!"

Qin Zhibo didn't know how much General Cat could understand of what he said.

But the wise man of Usa who was standing nearby asked, "Although this sounds good, no one in Usa knows how to perform this kind of surgery..."

Qin Zhibo immediately responded: "I can!"

"As long as I can gather the relevant equipment, I can perform this sterilization surgery!"

This is a lie.

Qin Zhibo doesn't know how to sterilize cats, but he knows that the operation is very simple.

For those of you who have medical skills, you can just find a pet hospital in the real world and learn a little.

If that doesn't work, just take Conan into any pet hospital and...

The key problem is that real-world medical equipment cannot be brought to the dream world.

Qin Zhibo does not have the physique of a dream maker, and cannot create things that do not exist in the dream world at will.

But when the wise man heard that Qin Zhibo would undergo sterilization surgery, he immediately agreed: "The surgical equipment is not a problem. Although we don't have it in town, Dilas-Lin Port collects goods from all over the Dreamland. I'm sure you can find what you need..."

Solving the cat's Q problem is also a good thing for the people of Wusa Town.
