Conan Rick's Investigator

This made Qin Zhibo gradually impatient.

Is it possible that Taku Itakura's software is useless?

Taku Itakura said in his diary that his software was not fully developed and seemed to be still a little short of completion.

However, Qin Zhibo didn't want to give up easily. He had already promised to rescue Hiroki Sawada.

This not only concerns whether he can gain a powerful artificial intelligence ally, but also complete the corresponding main task.

"Mr. Qin, please pay attention to your playing time. You have been playing for two hours straight..."

An artificial anti-addiction reminder floated in the sky.

Qin Zhibo made an "OK" gesture, but did not intend to quit the game.

He flew along the Thames, following the direction of the river flow, intending to explore the boundaries of the game map.

The docks, piers, warehouses, Tower Bridge, Greenwich and other real-life famous attractions stand on both sides of the Thames.

Qin Zhibo flew all the way to the estuary where the lower reaches of the Thames flow into the North Sea, and then stopped.

At this time, the time in the game has reached dawn, and a new sun is gradually rising above the sea level.

It was originally a normal game scene, but because Qin Zhibo was flying in the sky, he saw a fleet moving slowly on the sea far away from the shore.

Qin Zhibo quickly flew to the front of the fleet and discovered that this was a fleet that was even older than the Victoria era.

All the people on the fleet were burly men, wearing horned iron helmets and heavy clothes made of animal fur and a small amount of colorful cloth.

"Vikings?"

Qin Zhibo looked at this image and remembered the identity of this group of people.

The Vikings and the Victorian era have nothing to do with each other, so how did they get connected?

Qin Zhibo thought for a moment in the air and figured out the cause of the problem.

It turns out that the so-called five games are actually modeled by sharing the same big world scene, which can save costs.

The waters off London in the Victorian era were actually the world of Viking pirates.

Players can't easily reach the very edge of London anyway.

Even if it were possible, the design of this sea follows the principle that "the earth is round", and it is impossible to see the situation in the distant sea from the shore.

Qin Zhibo was able to spot this fleet because it was flying high in the sky.

At this time, on the deck of the Viking warship, starting with the observers, Viking pirates gradually discovered Qin Zhibo flying in the air.

"what is that?"

"Odin of Asgard?"

"No, gods can't be so insignificant. They must be the spirits of warriors who ascended to Valhalla, the divine palace."

The Viking pirates gathered on the deck, speculating about the identity of the figure in the air.

Just as these Viking pirates looked up, Qin Zhibo, who was floating in the air and looking down, was gazing at another scene.

Beneath the sea, an extremely huge shadow is slowly emerging.

Chapter 1046 The Body of "Green Signal"

Qin Zhibo looked down from high in the sky and could clearly see the situation below.

The originally azure sea water gradually spread outward from the center, forming an extremely huge shadow.

The shadow seemed vague at first, but as its area gradually expanded, its color became more distinct.

He immediately realized that something was rising in the sea!

……

The Viking pirates on the warships had not yet noticed the abnormality in the water and were still gathered on the deck, looking up excitedly and waving at the sky, thinking that it was the warriors of Valhalla.

At this time, Qin Zhibo descended and landed on the top of the mast of one of the warships.

"All warships, follow my orders and disperse!"

Qin Zhibo landed on the warship and waved his hand.

All the Viking pirates stared at him intently, and seemed to react for a moment before taking action.

"All warships, disperse!"

"spread!"

"Row right! Row right!"

"Paddle left! Paddle left!"

In the Viking game scene, the pirates originally obeyed the player's orders, so now they naturally obey Qin Zhibo.

The warships spread out at full speed in all directions, and the huge wind blew the square sails like a pregnant woman about to give birth.

At this time, a dark sea vortex appeared in the center of the sea where the fleet had just gathered.

"There's a vortex on the left! There's a vortex!"

Qin Zhibo looked in the direction of the oar finger and saw a whirlpool brewing on the sea.

In the vortex, a large amount of pale white mist gushed out from the darkness in the center and quickly spread to the sea surface under the influence of the wind.

"It stinks!"

"What is that? It stinks!"

This foul smell seemed to have opened a thousand long-rotten graves at once, and blew across the sea, which was foaming with unclean foam.

The Viking pirates, including Qin Zhibo, couldn't help but cover their noses to avoid being suffocated by the stench.

Now Qin Zhibo is complaining a little. Why is this full stealth technology so realistic?

The changes don’t stop there.

The clear sky above was suddenly covered by a green cloud without any warning.

The visibility on the sea surface dropped suddenly. Although the sun had just risen, it was as if it was dusk.

"Light the torch!" Qin Zhibo shouted loudly.

"Light the torch!"

"Light the torch!"

The Viking pirates on the warships passed on instructions to each other, and more than a dozen torches were immediately inserted on more than a dozen dragon boats.

But this little bit of light was insignificant on the dark sea.

Qin Zhibo stood at the top of the mast, his eyes fixed on the place where the vortex had just appeared.

The place was now shrouded in a foul-smelling fog, and it was impossible to see clearly no matter what, let alone fly in rashly.

He knew that these were not the original designs in the game, and "Green Signal" had taken the bait.

"Everyone! Prepare to attack!"

Qin Zhibo's voice spread across the sea, and hundreds of Viking pirates on more than a dozen warships picked up their axes and shields, staring at the sea with eyes ready to die.

In the Vikings' concept, they will not be cowardly in any battle, and sacrificing themselves on the battlefield with the most heroic and fearless attitude is the lifelong belief of a Viking warrior.

Even when faced with scene changes that are beyond the game's design, these most ferocious warriors can face it calmly instead of screaming and running away.

However, Qin Zhibo did not expect these NPCs in the game to be able to do anything. It was enough for him to be able to test the situation of the opponent.

……

On the treacherous and unpredictable sea, all the Viking pirates and Qin Zhibo were on high alert.

Just when the sea was extremely quiet, a huge sticky tentacle suddenly stretched out from the white mist, and its thick front end quickly rolled up a Viking pirate standing on the bow of the ship.

"what--!"

The pirate's body was grabbed by the tentacles and lifted into the air. With a "bang", his entire body was crushed by the tentacles.

The death of one Viking did not intimidate the remaining Vikings, but instead ignited the anger of all Vikings.

"oh--!"

“Fight Him!”

Puff, puff, puff...

The Vikings constantly struck their shields with their swords and axes, producing a continuous and rhythmic sound, which was equivalent to a war drum and also a signal for the Vikings to challenge the enemy.

Qin Zhibo was just wondering whether "Green Signal" would respond to the provocation of the game NPC when more than a dozen tentacles stretched out from the white mist at the same time.

These dozen or so tentacles were actually heading precisely towards the locations of all the warships!

Qin Zhibo immediately summoned the [Oath-Keeping Sword], leaped into the air, and slashed at the green tentacles that were attacking the warship he was on.

When the sword hit the tentacle with all its might, he first felt a sensation of hitting a colloid, and the blade seemed to sink into it.

But when the force reached a critical value, the green tentacles were suddenly cut off.

The severed tentacle fell onto the sea surface, transformed into a line of complex and obscure green code, and sank into the sea and disappeared.

The roots of the tentacles were quickly retracted into the white mist.

Immediately afterwards, the Viking pirates on Qin Zhibo's warship cheered their victory.

"As expected of a warrior from Valhalla!"

"We won! We won!"

The Viking pirates below raised their hands, but Qin Zhibo knew that this battle was more complicated than that.

Because the Viking pirates in other places were already caught in a bitter battle, the pirates' shouts and the ping-pong sounds of weapons formed a complex symphony that spread across the vast sea.

"I'll be back as soon as I go!"

Qin Zhibo leaped forward, activated his flying hook, and flew towards the nearest Viking warship.

On this warship, a dozen Viking pirates were chopping the green tentacles that had boarded the ship with all their might.

But their weapons had no effect on the tentacles. The rampant tentacles were like running wild, and a casual swing could knock a Viking pirate away.

Qin Zhibo quickly flew to the middle of the tentacle hanging in the air, holding the sword in both hands, and swung it hard at the tentacle.

It was the same feeling of being hit, and the tentacle was cut into two parts. The chopped-off tentacle turned into a line of code and sank into the sea, while the remaining tentacles retracted into the white mist.

Qin Zhibo continued to fly to the next pirate ship without waiting to hear the cheers of the pirates below.

It was the same situation. Although the Viking pirates on the ship fought hard, their weapons seemed to be made of a different material from the tentacles and could not cause any harm at all.

Qin Zhibo cut off the tentacles with one sword, saving an entire ship of Viking pirates, and then flew to the next warship without stopping.

In Qin Zhibo's eyes, although these NPCs have little attack capability, they can attract "Green Signal" to take action.

This is like the mechanism of defeating a boss in a game. Although I can fly and fight now, rushing into the white fog without sufficient vision and information is definitely a very dangerous move.

But if we can get "Green Signal" to take the initiative...

But this time, for some reason, Qin Zhibo felt that although the "green signal" had appeared, it had no interest in a large-scale invasion of the game world.

Maybe it’s because this time it’s only my brain that loaded into the game. Last time, there were 51 people’s minds connected to this game!

Qin Zhibo rescued Viking pirates on more than a dozen warships in succession and chopped off the green tentacles that stretched out from the white fog.

The Viking pirates cheered their victory, but Qin Zhibo stood on the mast, staring cautiously into the white fog.

He knew that this little bit of damage was nothing.

In other words, the essence of the "green signal" is a string of strange evil god codes. No matter how many of its tentacles are cut off in the game, it can be reborn with the help of the code.

"Green Signal" cannot be killed.

Qin Zhibo didn't want to kill "Green Signal" at first, he just wanted to save Hiroki Sawada from him.

But now, even the shadow of Hiroki Sawada can't be seen at all.

Qin Zhibo carefully observed the movements on the sea, when suddenly an idea came to his mind. He thought that since he was in the game, he should make flexible use of the nature of the game.

He quickly looked up and shouted to the sky, "Wind! I want wind!"
