Conan Rick's Investigator

Under Qin Zhibo's force, the steel pen tip was bent like two frost-bitten leaves, and ink splashed onto the table.

"Sorry, I was distracted just now..."

Qin Zhibo quickly put the pen back on the table, and Mr. Clock took the broken pen in his hand and examined it.

"From what I can tell, the tip of this pen is replaceable."

"If it's not too much trouble, could you please help me buy a matching nib for this pen?"

"My palm has become accustomed to the thickness of this pen..."

Faced with Mr. Clock's reasonable request, Qin Zhibo replied with a guilty conscience: "No problem, I'll take care of it..."

Qin Zhibo pretended to be calm and sat back in his chair, thinking about what had just happened.

What were the impulses and hallucinations in my brain just now?

When I first came face to face with Mr. Clock, I seemed to have the same impulse in my heart, wanting to kill him urgently.

It feels like seeing a cockroach, and the first thought in your mind is to kill it.

But in addition to this, Qin Zhibo also noticed another thing.

That is, although Mr. Clock can sense his existence through some kind of telepathy, making invisibility ineffective against him, and can even transmit intermittent information to his brain like just now, he cannot really grasp his thoughts like he has the ability to read minds.

Otherwise, based on the image that just appeared in his mind, Mr. Clock would definitely not be sitting opposite him so calmly, stroking the platinum mask.

Qin Zhibo silently took note of this in his heart.

"Mr. Clock, this mask is yours, but I have one condition..."

"I'd like to hear the details..." Mr. Clock said calmly.

"I don't want immortality or anything. I just want you to take me and another person to Enkai."

……

At the same time, far away in the Witch's House, Koizumi Hongzi was staring at the scene in the crystal ball, her delicate face slightly stunned.

Chapter 410 A spontaneous trip

Enkai.

The dark abyss in the underground world "Kunyang" is even deeper than the Mariana Trench.

The abyss has never been reached by normal creatures, but for magicians who pursue power, it is a place like Yindian Garden.

Because there lives the only being on Earth who can teach the ultimate magic that transcends time and space. If you master it, you can reach the same level as the most powerful magician in history - Yin Boen.

This is what is recorded in the Red Magic Clan's family magic book.

It was also because of this that Koizumi Akako's mother disappeared when Akako was six years old, leaving behind an empty witch's house.

A witch's house is not a fixed house or place. As long as there are witches living there, it is a witch's house.

In fact, Koizumi Akako has traveled to many countries since she was a child, and although she has no worries about food and clothing, her life is unstable.

She came to Japan, became "Koizumi Akiko", and transferred to Class B, Grade 2 of Edako High School, becoming a classmate of Kuroba Kaito...

This has actually only happened in the last two months.

Because she has been transferring schools around the world, she has no time to build friendships, so every time she arrives in a new place, she uses her charm and various gifts to win the hearts of the boys in the school.

This can also be considered a self-protection mechanism.

And all this was because of the mother who went to Enkai that year.

So after so many years, Koizumi Akako has always wanted to know what heights her mother has reached.

At least, she wanted to visit the place her mother had always dreamed of.

Even just a glance from a distance?

Seeing Qin Zhibo fighting for the opportunity to enter Enkai for herself in the crystal ball, Koizumi Hongzi felt a little touched.

The butler who was standing in the corner of the magic room was silently watching Koizumi Hongzi.

……

"Oh~Mr. Qin."

"Among the humans I've met, you are definitely one of the most knowledgeable."

Mr. Clock gave his affirmation first, then said, "To enter Enkai safely, we must collect all the Parnest fragments."

Qin Zhibo still remembered that this "Panester Fragment" was exactly what Mr. Clock had entrusted to him before.

"But fortunately, I have obtained a clue about the last fragment. It is very likely related to the Silver Twilight Church in Arkham Town."

"After this time, I will temporarily leave Japan and get in touch with this church."

"If you haven't changed your mind by then, I'll contact you again."

"Please rest assured, our race is trustworthy..."

Mr. Clock made his promise, but from his almost completely still face, Qin Zhibo's psychology skills could not tell that he had any sincerity at all.

At this moment, Mr. Clock suddenly stood up and put the platinum mask in his arms.

"The Mask of Justus Tragon has been recovered. I must inform my fellow tribesmen of this exciting news as soon as possible."

"Mr. Qin, if you are interested in this, you can come together..."

Qin Zhibo was very surprised by Mr. Clock's invitation, but he still had some doubts in his mind.

“Is this accessible?”

"..."

After a two-second pause, Mr. Clock replied, "Yes, you can go."

"If it were for ordinary humans, it might cost some price..."

"But Mr. Qin, you found the 'Mask of Justus Tragon' and you made a great contribution to this matter, so I judge that you can go."

"Of course, the final decision is yours."

Qin Zhibo was a little curious about this invitation.

For example, will I meet Conan?

If Conan encounters a MI-GO and Conan kills it, will the murderer be a human or another MI-GO?

I'm curious!

……

When Qin Zhibo agreed to go together, Mr. Clock took Qin Zhibo to the open space outside the villa.

"Going by car?"

As he said this, Qin Zhibo was about to walk towards his Mazda 929, but Mr. Clock stopped where he was and shook his head left and right.

"Your means of transportation aren't convenient enough for both long and short distances. Let me..."

As he spoke, Mr. Clock's body suddenly began to move horribly.

The woolen fabric was stretched and torn by a pair of wing-like organs until the huge wings were fully unfolded on Mr. Clock's back.

This scene was as if a pair of wings had grown out of the back of a human body, except that these wings were too ugly and disgusting.

"Are you on top or am I on top?" asked Mr. Clock.

What kind of tiger-wolf talk is this?

Qin Zhibo complained in his heart, but he also knew that Mr. Clock was asking him whether he was riding it or being held by it.

Of these two postures, Qin Zhibo would of course choose the one that gives him more initiative.

"I'm on top..."

Mr. Clock bent down and let Qin Zhibo ride on him.

"The human body isn't very suitable for riding, but to avoid causing too much commotion, this is the only way."

"But seriously, you're the first human to ride on me..."

What kind of vicious words are these!

Although Mr. Clock's words were free of any human emotion, the tone of his voice was still that of a woman after all.

As Mr. Clock lightly flapped the huge wings behind him, the entire inexplicable new species of "people riding on people" flew into the night sky.

When it rose to mid-air, Qin Zhibo lowered his head to glance at the Mazda 929 parked in front of the villa.

It seems I can only pick up the car when I come back...

……

Riding MI-GO, Qin Zhibo wandered in the endless night sky.

The MI-GO was unusually stable in flight, as if it was hovering in place, but the large area of land it slowly passed over indicated that it was indeed moving forward.

During the flight, Qin Zhibo didn't dare to lower his head too much, for fear of seeing Mr. Clock's head and being unable to suppress the impulse in his heart.

Since there was no reference, Qin Zhibo didn't know how fast the flight was.

But halfway through, Qin Zhibo, who had turned on the night vision goggles, saw a group of crows flapping their wings in front of him, and Mr. Clock caught up with them after a while.

So it can be judged that the flying speed is at least faster than that of a crow.

……

Two hours passed, and Qin Zhibo finally felt Mr. Clock's altitude slowly descending.

Below was a modern city with flashing neon lights. Qin Zhibo turned on the navigation system and checked. It was Chiba Prefecture.

To be more specific, it is Yatogamiura City in Chiba Prefecture.

As it was late at night, Qin Zhibo was arranged by Mr. Clock to rest in a local hotel, while he went to another place to summon his companions and left alone.

The next day, after breakfast, Qin Zhibo went to a nearby stationery store to buy a pen nib as compensation for Mr. Clock.

Since he didn't know what model of pen Mr. Clock used, Qin Zhibo simply bought a box of all the models and carried it with him.

After strolling around the nearby blocks, Qin Zhibo returned to the hotel and continued waiting.

It was not until five o'clock in the afternoon that Mr. Clock finally returned, having changed into a new set of clothes.

Under its guidance, Qin Zhibo did not leave the city, but instead came to the most prosperous city center.

The two stopped one after another under the neon sign of a theater called "Ikikoboku Underground Theater".

Although it was an underground theater with a strange name, Qin Zhibo took a look at the posters placed at the door of the store, which were all pictures of young girls wearing colorful and cute clothes.

This is clearly a theater exclusively for underground idols!

Chapter 411 Super Electromagnetic Girls Group!!

Underground idols are idols that are active outside the mainstream public view, such as AKB...

However, Qin Zhibo did not expect that there would be underground idols in 96, and in Chiba Prefecture, far away from Tokyo.

Mr. Clock led Qin Zhibo into the cyberpunk-style passage dotted with neon tubes, just like he was leading a newcomer.

After walking down about thirty steps at a 45-degree angle, we finally reached the ticket office of the underground theater.

The ticket window was completely dark and I couldn't see what was inside, but the acrylic sign next to the window clearly stated the ticket price was 2000 yen.

Mr. Clock took out a 10,000 yen bill from his pocket and put it in. There was no change. Instead, a slender white hand passed out two tickets, two sets of clothes and two cheering sticks through the small window with a black square scarf hanging on it.

"We must go underground wearing cheering uniforms and cheering sticks. This is the rule here..."

Mr. Clock handed one of the cheering uniforms and cheering stick to Qin Zhibo, and then continued to lead Qin Zhibo down the stairs.

Just then, there was a violent shaking sound from the steps behind me, and two fat men wearing glasses ran to the ticket office.

"Please, please give us two tickets..."

With an almost trembling voice, he exchanged 4000 yen for two tickets.
