Conan Rick's Investigator

"very good!"

Qin Zhibo looked at these densely packed ships from different eras, whose presence could almost block out the sea water.

At this time, all the boats and the NPCs on board have only one goal, which is to knock over the octopus monster.

As the largest steamship blew its whistle, the monotonous and loud sound resounded across the sea, and all the ships charged towards the octopus monster together.

"Come on!"

"Fight the monster that's polluting the sea water!"

The minds of these game NPCs have been modified to be much more resolute than humans. After all, they are just programs that run according to established rules.

The largest steamer revved its engine to top speed and blew its whistle continuously.

The sailboats, dragon boats, flat boats and canoes behind them were not to be outdone, and they continued to sail into the sea polluted by green ink.

Amidst the green sky and earth, the terrifying octopus head looked at the ships. Instead of retreating, its body leaned forward, and its constantly twisting tentacles pounced towards all the ships.

Seeing this scene, Qin Zhibo was shocked.

Could it be that the octopus head knew that these ships could pose a threat to him and was preparing to overturn all of them in advance?

He was about to fly forward and cut off the tentacles when the bowsprit of the foremost steamship struck them.

In an instant, the tentacles and body of the octopus monster hit the steel needle like an air bag, spewing out countless green gases.

These gases formed huge air waves that lifted the entire sea surface.

Countless primitive people's canoes were directly overturned by the air waves, and other boats were also tottering under the violent impact of the wind and waves.

However, as the green air waves gushed out, the octopus monster's body became noticeably smaller.

Qin Zhibo looked at this scene and suddenly had an idea. He quickly said to Hiroki Sawada.

"Is it possible to eliminate the air collision volume in the game?"

In other words, the air resistance is eliminated. As long as the air resistance is eliminated, these air waves cannot prevent the ship from continuing to collide.

"Let me try……"

Hiroki Sawada closed his eyes, and after a moment, opened them again.

"Okay."

Qin Zhibo was delighted. It was indeed artificial intelligence. It was more efficient and reliable than humans in doing things.

Unlike those engineers from the Suzuki Group outside, when they saw me in trouble in the game, they didn't even give me any off-site support.

As the air collision volume disappears, the newly generated green air waves no longer affect the sea surface and ships.

All the ships once again rushed towards the octopus monster's body.

Steamships, sailboats, dragon boats, canoes, one ship after another and their crews, fearlessly crashed into the majestic green body like a mountain.

This scene is not only spectacular, it is simply heroic!

With every collision, countless green poisonous clouds with a foul smell would be ejected, and the octopus monster's body would shrink a lot.

By the time the last ship was about to ram it, the huge, bloated body as big as a mountain had completely disappeared.

There was nothing left on the sea except a rolling poisonous cloud.

Won!

When Qin Zhibo saw this scene, he couldn't help but feel excited.

However, Qin Zhibo still didn't quite understand the reason for his victory.

Is it that "Green Signal" cannot withstand the impact of a large amount of game information, or is it that it itself is a weak ship.

The image of "Green Signal" seems to be borrowed from Cthulhu. Could it be that the two have the same origin?

But why does the "Green Signal" exist on the Internet? Who released it online?

Where is the real Cthulhu?

Qin Zhibo was just in a daze for a moment, and many new questions popped up in his mind.

But there is one thing he has a clear understanding of.

That is, the "green signal" has not been completely killed, just like a Trojan virus will not be killed, it will always exist in the server.

Thinking of this, Qin Zhibo didn't dare to delay and quickly said to Sawada Hiroki: "I'll go out and find an external device now, and you transfer all the data to it."

"Ah."

Sawada Hiroki nodded.

"Okay, then I'll quit the game first..."

Qin Zhibo closed his eyes, and with a thought, his body disappeared in the game world.

……

There is no lock on logging out this time, this game is just that easy to quit.

Qin Zhibo opened his eyes and saw a familiar dim space in front of him. The various instruments in the cabin emitted a dim light, and a light screen showed that the game was paused.

He pressed the escape button on the armrest of the seat, the game cabin opened automatically, and the light from the outside world finally shone in.

As soon as I stood up with the help of the chair, a strong feeling of dizziness flooded into my brain. When I stepped on the ground, I felt like I was stepping on marshmallows.

It's probably the body's rejection reaction...

After all, humans do not belong to the sky. Experiencing the freedom of flying like a bird in the game is an act that the brain does not allow and will naturally reject.

Qin Zhibo stood for a while holding the game cabin before his body slowly returned to normal and the feeling under his feet became more and more solid.

But he was a little puzzled. He had been out of the game cabin for so long, why didn't anyone come to help him?

It’s the same in the game, no one cares about the second half, do you really think you’re completing the game?

Qin Zhibo raised his head and looked around, and found that there was no staff around the game cabin.

When I arrived at the door of the control room, I found that there were people bustling around in the room, and all the people in the studio were standing in the room.

The door was not closed, so Qin Zhibo walked straight in.

"Hey, what are you guys standing there for?"

Qin Zhibo asked the staff standing in front of him, but the other party responded with dementia-like mumbling.

"Cthulhu..."

"The stars will return to their proper positions... He and His descendants... will be resurrected..."

"R'lyeh, the Eternal Mansion..."

Qin Zhibo sensed something was wrong and quickly pushed a few people away. He was shocked to find that the computer screens on the operating table were all playing the same picture.

On the inky black screen, a bunch of blurry and distorted lines flickered irregularly.

They overlapped with each other, interspersed with static-like snowflakes and intermittent green arcs.

These strange patterns together form the image of an octopus head.

Although this image is not as realistic as that in the game world, once it appears in the real world, it reveals a different sense of abnormality.

The constantly beating and flashing green lines, with a rhythm like the devil's heartbeat, make this image seem to have life!

And everyone in front of the screen is the object of His gaze.

The moment Qin Zhibo saw this image, his brain was in a trance for a moment.

But he immediately came to his senses and quickly reached out to turn off the monitor.

However, when the power button of the monitor was pressed, the green image on the screen only went out for a second, and countless snowflakes fell from the top of the screen.

At this time, the image of the green octopus head refreshed again and became angry.

At the same time, the speakers throughout the studio released strange sounds, with the rumbling, gloomy sound of the deep sea as the background, and an indescribable strange sound wave spread throughout the studio.

In an instant, the staff headed by Suzuki Shunsuke began to move, like zombies, raised their hands, and slowly approached Qin Zhibo.

"Cthulhu..."

"Cthulhu..."

They murmured the same words, as if controlled by their minds, and pounced on Qin Zhibo's body.

"roll!"

Qin Zhibo shouted and kicked Suzuki Shunsuke, who was in front, to the ground.

As Suzuki Shunsuke lost his balance, the people behind him also stumbled like dominoes.

Qin Zhibo took advantage of this opportunity to take out the [Holy Sword of Physics - Crowbar] from the prop bar and smashed the screen with one blow.

Without a medium of communication, the image of the green octopus head had to disappear.

Snap, snap, snap...

Qin Zhibo knocked on the remaining screens one after another, and the images of the green octopus heads all disappeared.

The deep-sea whispers from the loudspeaker also disappeared. All the staff members froze and fell to the ground immediately like unconscious puppets.

Qin Zhibo looked at the scene in front of him and was surprised.

Why is the green signal so influential in the real world?

Although the green signal had previously invaded the game world, it had not appeared in the real world.

This led people to believe that the "green" in the game was the result of the invasion of artificial intelligence Noah's Ark.

Even Qin Zhibo didn't expect that the green signal would have such a strong ability to deceive ordinary people in reality.

He lowered his head and quickly glanced at the many staff members who had collapsed in the control room. No one had a survey point on their head, which meant that they had just fainted.

This relieved him.

But in a flash, he remembered that Hiroki Sawada had not been transferred out yet.

"Oops!"

Qin Zhibo glanced at the entire studio, and the green octopus head did not appear on any other computer screens.

But even so, he didn't dare to try to plug in external devices here easily.

Go somewhere else!

Qin Zhibo came to the computer where the Bancang Zhuo software was plugged in, pulled out the software, and looked around the studio before finding a USB flash drive on the table that he didn't know what it was used for.

Then he ran downstairs up the stairs as fast as he could.

Hopefully, the green signal hasn't resulted in a full-scale invasion of the building.

At this moment, he could only pray like this in his heart.

……

When he arrived at the eighth floor, Qin Zhibo discovered that the people on this floor seemed to be designing a flying boat.

More importantly, the people here are working normally, and although they are using computers, there is no brainwashing.

Very good!

Qin Zhibo quickly ran over and shouted to the crowd, "Call a doctor quickly! The people upstairs have fainted!"

Everyone in the studio looked at each other, with suspicion undisguised in their eyes. Some even quietly reached for the phone on the table, ready to notify the guards downstairs.

Seeing that no one believed him, Qin Zhibo could only reveal his identity.

"I'm Detective Qin Zhibo. Today, at the behest of the second daughter of the Suzuki Group, I'm here to experience a project in your department upstairs."

"But during the experience, they all fainted. I don't know why..."

When everyone heard the identity of "famous detective", they suddenly understood.

Those who needed to call an ambulance called for it, and adhering to the principle of mutual help among colleagues, the rest of the people also ran upstairs to check the situation.

After a while, almost everyone on the floor had left.

Qin Zhibo randomly found a turned-on computer, inserted the USB drive into the computer, cleared the contents inside, and then changed the name of the USB drive to "Hiroki Sawada's Hut".

Next, it’s all about waiting.
