Conan Rick's Investigator

Could this mean that the stone arches needed electricity to trigger them?

electricity……

"Mr. Kudo, are there any unused diesel generators at base camp?"

"have."

Now that it's daylight and the combat mission has been completed, there must be some generators that are not needed.

"Have the soldiers bring two more here quickly... and call my son over as well."

Kudo Yusaku took a deep look at Qin Zhibo, and he knew that this man had another idea.

And this idea is very likely to allow them to return to their original world.

……

Base camp, tent.

Conan, wearing clothes, was lying on his side on the camp bed, resting with his eyes closed.

Suddenly, the curtain at the door was lifted, and Conan under the mask suddenly opened his eyes, and his brain immediately became alert.

But when he stood up and looked, he saw that the person who came in was not the "Conan" of this world, but a soldier.

"Little boy, your father wants you to pack up and go to the mine."

Conan was startled.

Could it be that Qin Zhibo has found a way to go back?

In fact, Conan also speculated that the stone arch might be the gate of time and space.

Because when people see the word "door", they automatically think of it as leading to somewhere.

There is also the influence of "Doraemon", many Japanese people will associate it with it.

It's just that the operability of this door is too low, there are no facilities such as operating consoles around, and coupled with its simple appearance, it is difficult to imagine that this door can be used to return to the original world.

Unless this door is really like Doraemon’s “anywhere door”, where you can go anywhere just by silently thinking about where you want to go?

No, this is too science fiction...

"Okay, I'll be right there."

Conan put his thoughts aside, quickly packed up his bags, and ran out of the camp.

The soldier just now waved to him at the starting point of the forest path, and the bronze badge on his chest shone brightly in the morning sun.

Conan: "..."

As a native of the original world, Conan knew that this badge was actually the pattern on the Miskatonic University emblem.

The University of Michigan next door probably didn't expect that their school's graphics would be infringed on in another world...

Conan trotted up to follow him and found that in addition to the soldiers who came to escort him there, there were four other soldiers carrying two diesel generators.

It's daybreak and the battle is over. What else do we need the generator for?

"Uncle, what are these used for?" Conan asked, pointing at the generator.

The soldier smiled and explained, "This is called a diesel generator. Just add diesel to it and it will generate electricity. You can use light bulbs, electrical appliances, and so on."

Conan: You really treat me like a primary school student...

"Uncle, I mean, what are these generators for in the mining area?"

"I'm not sure about that. It was the commander's order..."

Soon, the soldiers took Conan and the generator to the deepest part of the mine.

"Commander, do you have any further instructions?"

"No more. You guys should leave first... Also, from now on, don't let anyone enter the mine."

"yes!"

Kudo Yusaku sent the soldiers away and prohibited anyone from entering.

This makes Conan even more confident that Qin Zhibo has found a way to go back.

When Conan thought of this, his heart began to beat fast with excitement, and his eyes were full of anticipation.

The last time he had such an experience, Haihara Ai took out a capsule and told him that it was a trial version of APTX-4869's antidote.

Unfortunately, the trial version of the antidote only allowed him to be a real man for a day, and he shrank before he could express his true love to Xiaolan.

I hope there is no accident this time and he can return to the real Xiaolan, even if he continues to be a shrunken little man.

He was once given the job of being a shrunken man next to the one he loved, but he didn't cherish it and only regretted it after he lost it.

The most painful thing in the world is this.

If God is willing to give him another chance, he is willing to return to that girl and guard her silently like the words of a sunflower.

If he had to add a time limit to this love, he hoped it would be... ten thousand years!

bah bah bah!

Ten thousand years is unlucky. Doesn't this mean that he can never be with Xiaolan as Kudo Shinichi?

Conan put aside the random thoughts in his mind and quietly watched Qin Zhibo's operations.

Qin Zhibo's operation was also very simple. First, he connected the cables to both sides of the stone arch, and then turned the starting crank of the generator.

eng——

As the generator started up, a heavy and noisy sound filled the entire cave.

Qin Zhibo, Conan, and Kudo Yusaku looked closely at the stone arch, and unexpectedly discovered that there was a faint blue light in the gaps between the ores above.

Strips of blue light sources flickered between the cracks in the stone, spreading throughout the door, like winding rivers.

But that was it, nothing more happened.

But this at least proves that Qin Zhibo's conjecture is correct. This door does need to be powered on before it can be used.

Previously, Lupine III stole a piece of ore and researched a high-tech sphere that disabled surrounding electronic equipment. He wanted to use it to shield the palace's electronic security system and sneak into the ground to steal the Queen's Crown.

The sphere, which is made with ore as its core, uses electricity to trigger and diffuse the properties of the ore itself.

This all shows that what really works in the ore mined by Mi Go is a conductive metal, and its effectiveness can only be exerted in the case of electric shock.

It's just that humans don't have the technology to refine this kind of ore.

Qin Zhibo observed for a while, and after confirming that nothing happened, he decided to continue to increase the power.

If one generator isn't enough, get two!

He turned off the started generator, and then connected the second generator in the same way.

After connecting it, Qin Zhibo and Kudo Yusaku started the generator at the same time.

eng——

eng——

This time it was the sound of two motors starting up simultaneously, a noisier duet.

The blue lines from before appeared again on the stone arch, but it was even bluer than the light before.

In this blue light that almost penetrated the stone, the light curtain of the outline of an arched door slowly opened.

"Success!"

Conan's pupils reflected this blue light, and the little face under the mask was full of excitement.

He didn't think about where this door of light would lead at the first time, but his brain instinctively let out a sound of surprise when it received this incredible and stunning picture.

Qin Zhibo and Kudo Yusaku also stood up slowly and stared blankly at the blue light door formed in the stone arch.

Their eyes looked into the blue light, trying hard to see some valuable information, but they couldn't see anything.

It is a blue light, which does not convey any image except the light gate

At the very edge, there are slowly moving arcs of electricity, like ropes that firmly tie the light gate in the middle.

Qin Zhibo bent down, picked up an ordinary stone from the ground, and threw it towards the light door.

The stone drew a parabola in the air and disappeared the moment it came into contact with the blue light.

After a long time, Kudo Yusaku was the first to murmur.

"This is... the space-time gate?"

Qin Zhibo rubbed his stinging eyes with his hands, "Maybe..."

If his theory is correct and the ores from different worlds combine with each other to determine the time and space tunnel established between each other, then this tunnel should lead to the original world where he is.

But this is just a theory after all.

Theories are not the truth of the universe, and any artificially derived theory must prove its feasibility through practice.

So now it’s time to prove feasibility.

Qin Zhibo shook his body and raised his legs to move towards the light door.

At this time, he slowly took off the golden mask used for disguise, and the blue light shone on his fearless face.

"Wait a moment!"

Kudo Yusaku quickly called him from behind.

"Don't you need to double-check? What if this door leads to the Mi-Go's home planet?"

Through studying in the Is Library, Kudo Yusaku learned that the Mi-Go had a home planet belonging to their race called "Yugos".

Therefore, Mi Go is also called the Yuggoth fungus.

Regarding Kudo Yusaku's worries, Qin Zhibo smiled and shook his head.

"There's no way to confirm it unless someone goes inside..."

Qin Zhibo also came to this conclusion after thinking for a long time.

First of all, the camera robot cannot be controlled near this door because the electrified ore has triggered its signal-shielding characteristics.

Besides, who can be sure about the signal connections between parallel worlds?

Secondly, if non-intelligent creatures enter behind this door, no matter what happens, they will not be able to send back any useful information.

Because judging from the situation of throwing stones just now, the characteristic of this door is to instantly teleport the entire individual who comes into contact with the light door.

In other words, there is no test method of holding a dog with a rope and then pulling the dog back from the light door.

Someone has to get inside.

As the saying goes, if I don’t go to hell, who will?

Qin Zhibo stood less than half a meter away from the light door, looking back at Conan behind him with a smile on his face.

"Wait here for a moment, I'll be back soon..."

It was another familiar words, but it shocked Conan's heart.

Qin Zhibo plans to enter the Light Gate alone, and the danger involved is self-evident.

"No!"

"If you want to go, let's go together!"

Conan couldn't let Qin Zhibo take risks alone, so he ran to Qin Zhibo anxiously.

As Conan's little hand touched Qin Zhibo's shirt, the two figures disappeared into the light door at the same time.

Chapter 1140 Return!

Command center, tent.

After a night of fierce fighting, "Conan" fell into a deep sleep on the camp bed.

Until the noisy shouts of soldiers were heard outside the tent, waking up the sleeping "Conan".

He slowly sat up from the bed, habitually reached for the black-rimmed glasses beside the pillow, put them on his face, and then walked out of bed.
