Conan's grammatical investigator

Chapter 1525 Ksira

Bright red sticky strips oozed out from under the shriveled human skin, with the white bones exposed.

And perched atop the throne-like pile of human remains and the glass walls of the aquarium, was a crimson octopus of unprecedented size.

The main part of the octopus, its head, was perched on top of the pile, with three pairs of eye stalks on both sides of the top of its skull.

And at the back of the head, there is a pair of underdeveloped young wings. Such wings appearing behind such a huge body are even a little funny.

As many as a dozen tentacles dangled lazily below the pile of human remains.

In addition to large suction cups on the back of each tentacle, there are also sharp claws on both sides that can be extended and retracted freely, moving as slowly and rhythmically as breathing.

And these tentacles almost cover the ground like pipes.

If they were all stretched out, they would be enough to wrap around an entire tanker!
Such an unrealistic picture is reflected in everyone's pupils without any disguise.

"That... is Ksira?"

After a few seconds of silence, Akai Tsutomu was the first to raise an uncertain question.

But no one answered at this moment.

An octopus of this size is completely different from the octopus in human common sense, and it also radiates from the inside out with an eternal evil aura. The answer is obvious.

The reason why, except for a few members of the organization, no other crew members and security personnel on the ship encountered the problem was also found.

They all turned into the skeletal throne before them.

The crew uniforms and bulletproof vests buried among the blood, flesh and bones are the best evidence.

This also indirectly shows that the conventional weapons and equipment they carry are unable to kill Ksira.

"We still have C4 on it."

At this time, Akai Shuichi gave a timely reminder.

"Well, this is the only way now..."

Just as Shuichi Akai turned around and was about to go back to the upper floor to get the bomb, Vermouth suddenly called him.

"Wait a moment."

"Look over there..."

Under Vermouth's instructions, everyone once again looked at the skeletal throne that they couldn't bear to look at any longer.

Below the throne, in the small hill formed by the accumulation of materials, two figures can be seen.

One of the figures was an acquaintance of theirs, Qin Zhibo.

Opposite him stood a naked woman who also seemed familiar.

"It's Wakasa Rumi!"

Conan recognized it immediately.

Akai Mari frowned and asked in confusion: "What are they doing there?"

The two people in the center of the hill of bones seemed to be preparing for some unspeakable act.

The woman named "Wakasa Rumi" was taking off Qin Zhibo's clothes piece by piece very gently.

Qin Zhibo just stood there, his eyes wide open, accepting this silently.

This situation immediately left several people confused. In order not to alarm the giant octopus, they could only retreat to the third deck to discuss countermeasures.

……

Back on the third deck, Conan and the others explained the situation on the lower floor to Furuya Zero.

When hearing that Qin Zhibo was having his clothes taken off by the organization, Fūya Ling's first reaction was that Qin Zhibo was being coerced.

However, when Conan added that the threat maker was a naked woman, Furuya Rei also fell silent.

"Now, no matter what, if we want to get rid of that octopus, we can only use bombs..."

"We will place the bomb first, then rescue Qin Zhibo, and then detonate the bomb." Akai Wuwu immediately drew up a battle plan.

But just as he finished speaking, Miyano Elena, who was tied up next to him, suddenly spoke.

"It's useless. Ksira won't be killed by a bomb of that magnitude."

"We once bombed Ksira's lair with an atomic bomb, but it only caused some minor injuries to Ksira."

"So it's useless..."

Mary turned to look at Elena and asked, "Then is there any way to kill her?"

Elena raised the corner of her mouth slightly and shook her head lightly.

"There is no way."

"She is the daughter of Cthulhu, one of the great Old Ones, or what people often call 'Gods.'"

"Can humans kill gods?"

Conan stepped forward and asked with a serious expression, "Who is Wakasa Rumi?"

"She is also Ksira, but she is Ksira in human form."

"Ksira has a very strong mimicry ability, and can even imitate the physiological structure of humans."

"Wakasa Rumi is the anthropomorphic body he created through long-term imitation of me."

When everyone heard about Wakasa Rumi's background, they all showed shocked expressions.

Especially Haibara Ai, she also understood why Wakasa Rumi easily took down Rum, the second-in-command of the organization.

During the time she was brainwashed on the ship, she learned that the active ingredients of the APTX series of drugs were actually tissue extracts from Ksira and the Deep Divers.

This drug can greatly strengthen the human body, but it also has a high probability of triggering deep diving syndrome.

Therefore, STK’s targeted drug project “Silver Bullet” is crucial to the organization.

The boss of the organization once approached Walter Marsh Sr., the controller of STK, to seek cooperation, but was rejected.

Therefore, the organization sent the Miyano couple to join Hakuba Pharmaceutical to steal the research results of the "Silver Bullet" project.

The new drugs developed in combination with the "silver bullet" are more stable and rarely trigger deep-diving syndrome.

But just like the sequence of the drug itself, Ksira itself has an extremely high sequence and can control the user of the drug.

Conan lowered his head slightly, thought for a few seconds, then looked up and asked.

"Why are you suddenly willing to tell us?"

"I just want you to understand that resistance is useless, giving up resistance and accepting everything is the only way."

Elena turned to look at Huihara Ai again, with a hint of pleading in her tone, "Shiho, I have transplanted most of Miyano Akemi's memories into Wakasa Rumi's brain. Even the boss doesn't know this."

"She will treat you as her sister. As long as you wait until the new world comes, you will be able to obtain supreme power. At that time, you can do whatever you want and fulfill any wish..."

"Do you understand, Shiho?"

"I'm doing this all for you!"

Haibara Ai stood there, her low bangs covering her eyes.

"But my only wish is to revive my real sister. Is that okay?"

Haibara Ai's voice had a hint of crying and a slight tremor.

"I don't want anything, I just want a sister..."

"Can it be done?"

Elena looked slightly stunned, staring at her daughter, and did not answer for a long time.

……

At the same time, on the other side, Qin Zhibo was experiencing the most difficult struggle between himself and others in his life.
