Conan Rick's Investigator

In this world, Godzilla is called Godmera, and is also a popular classic monster image on the screen.

However, judging by the size of the water waves sensed by the lateral line, although this deep diver was larger than himself, it was still far from Godzilla's level.

But looking at the size of the Deep Ones city, there are tens of thousands of Deep Ones living there. If one of them evolves into Godzilla, it will be enough to cause trouble for humans.

Qin Zhibo shook his head, gave up these fantasies, and prepared to deal with the deep divers who were approaching him.

This deep diver was over 2 meters in size and swam around Qin Zhibo, seemingly with no intention of attacking.

Qin Zhibo knew that it had identified him as one of its kind.

Suddenly, the deep diver tilted its head and let out two sharp and piercing cries in the direction of Qin Zhibo.

"Y' l'——go——O'l'O"

A strange and harsh sound entered Qin Zhibo's eardrum, and what was even more unexpected was that Qin Zhibo understood its meaning.

I—want—to—mate—

Is it going to mate?

Qin Zhibo widened his eyes in surprise, although his already bulging eyes couldn't open any wider.

This deep diver actually wants to mate. Doesn’t it know that it is a male?

But this deep diver may be a female itself.

This sea area was "nuclearized" and Innsmouth became a dead city, so it is rare to see other deep divers, let alone humans.

It's hungry...

Qin Zhibo wanted to refuse directly, but suddenly thought of his main task.

The other party treats you as one of their own and will definitely not be on guard at all. This may be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Can……

“O’——”

Come here...

“nog—— geb——”

What Qin Zhibo wanted to say in his mind still didn't match what he said, but the deep diver opposite him understood.

“O’——”

The female Deep Diver let out a high-pitched scream, turned around and rushed towards Qin Zhibo.

At an angle where it couldn't see, Qin Zhibo had quietly pulled out the dagger hanging around his neck and clenched it behind his back.

When the female deep diver swam over excitedly, Qin Zhibo didn't wait for it to take off its pants, but directly stabbed its soft white belly with a knife.

The Deep Diver immediately launched himself as if in a stress response. The strong current of water created by his palms rushed him several meters away, and the dagger stuck in his abdomen was also taken away.

According to the human body structure, this knife cut into the kidney, which is considered a fatal injury, but for a deep diver of this size, Qin Zhibo was not sure whether he could kill it.

Qin Zhibo wanted to give chase, but he noticed that the deep diving potion in his upper left corner only had 5 minutes left, which no longer allowed him to give chase.

So, Qin Zhibo raised the harpoon gun in his hand again, took aim and fired a harpoon.

In the darkness, the harpoon line suddenly felt tight, and Qin Zhibo knew that he had hit the target.

Qin Zhibo immediately slung the harpoon gun over his shoulders and turned to dive towards the sea.

At the beginning, Qin Zhibo could feel that the pulling force from the opposite side was towards the deep sea. Even though he was injured, the pulling force from the opposite side was still greater than his own.

Qin Zhibo suddenly had an idea and quickly put on the system item [Gift of the Golden Tree] on his wrist, which increased his strength and agility.

Now, Qin Zhibo noticed that the strength in his character card panel was 100 and the agility was as high as 110.

After deducting the bonus from the Golden Tree's Gift, the basic strength attribute of this Deep Diver is 95, and the agility is 100.

However, Qin Zhibo discovered that his appearance score had dropped to 20, which was simply inhuman.

Also in the skill column, Qin Zhibo discovered that he had mastered another language - Lalaye.

Qin Zhibo put his thoughts aside for the moment, and with the blessing of the golden tree, his body immediately gained the upper hand in the rally.

But before long, Qin Zhibo felt the force behind him suddenly loosen.

When he took back the harpoon, he found that it was the Deep Diver who had taken the initiative to pull out the harpoon that was stuck in his body. There was still a trace of disgusting green slime on the silver tip of the spear.

It seems that this thing is indeed intelligent. It knows that being forcibly dragged to the surface of the water will mean certain death.

Qin Zhibo glanced at the remaining time. There were less than 3 minutes left. If he swam back to chase her at this time, he would definitely be drowned in the sea.

Forget it, I can only leave it to fate.

Qin Zhibo swam upwards with all his might, but the speed of diving was not the same as the time required to surface, so Qin Zhibo estimated that he had missed the time.

Time passed little by little, until the countdown for the drug's effect ended, and Qin Zhibo was still in the dark sea water.

The moment the effect of the medicine wore off, his body trembled violently and he felt as if a fire was ignited in his body.

All the bones, muscles, and even skin in his body seemed to be roasted by flames, and the flesh and skin that did not belong to him seemed to be torn off and scattered into the sea.

Even though he was in severe pain all over, Qin Zhibo still didn't dare to stop, because he had to hurry back to the sea where he could survive before his gills disappeared.

Finally, Qin Zhibo, who had been looking up, saw a ray of light shining through the sky outside the sea.

The light symbolized hope, guiding Qin Zhibo to swim towards it desperately.

At this time, every time his limbs moved the sea water, he would feel a piercing pain in his hands.

The webbed feet had long since broken into a pile of skin debris, and new skin seemed to have grown at the junctions between the fingers and toes, but this new skin was not resistant to the burning of sea water.

After leaving his identity as a deep diver, Qin Zhibo's whole body revealed his discomfort with sea water.

There was a rumbling sound in my ears and my eyes were irritated and extremely sore.

Suddenly, a splash of water bloomed on the sea surface, and Qin Zhibo's head was the first to break through the barrier of sea water and saw the long-awaited sun.

"Whoosh-"

Qin Zhibo breathed in fresh air instead of the humid oxygen in the sea water.

This is the joy of the living.

Chapter 516 "Cocoon" press conference

After getting ashore, Qin Zhibo immediately checked his body.

Everything that should have transformed back has transformed back, except that the skin in some places is more sensitive and some parts look like new skin, and the appearance has also returned to 70.

Of course, the Deep Diver's physical data bonus also disappeared.

However, Qin Zhibo did not forget that he had swum in nuclear wastewater and had to go to the hospital for a check-up.

Qin Zhibo immediately put on his clothes and drove his Buick away from Innsmouth, where there was no hospital, and returned to Arkham Town first.

……

After driving for almost an hour, Qin Zhibo suddenly heard a system prompt in the upper left corner of his vision.

Congratulations on completing the main quest: Hunting Order from the Yellow Will.

[Acquire 3000 general skill proficiency]

[Gain 400 Mythical Knowledge Skill Proficiency]

The appearance of this prompt means that the Deep Diver has finally died.

"It took an hour to die. He really can hold on..."

When saying this, Qin Zhibo felt a sense of comfort for some reason.

This feeling of satisfaction not only comes from the sense of accomplishment of completing the task, but is more like slapping a mosquito that is making noise next to your ear on an irritating summer day.

After receiving 3000 general proficiency points, Qin Zhibo now has a proficiency of 7570 and can purchase the [Starry Sky Fishing Rod].

But after weighing the pros and cons, Qin Zhibo still wanted to save up first and buy the most important prop of this week - the Stand User - in one go.

[Stand-in User] is worth 20000 proficiency points, and can help you learn skills while idle. It can be said to be a must-have item.

Except for the first week, Qin Zhibo found that the passage of time in this world was getting slower and slower every week, which also meant that he had enough time to buy most of the props in the weekly prop mall.

In addition to the 3000 proficiency points, 400 points of mysterious mythological knowledge and skills were also integrated into his brain, which allowed Qin Zhibo to understand some knowledge about the Deep Divers.

Deep divers are somewhere between social and solitary animals.

Although they have their own underwater cities, unlike humans, they have no desire for physical contact with each other. Apart from mating and worshiping the great Cthulhu together, the Deep Ones rarely gather together on their own initiative.

This made Qin Zhibo understand that if the female deep diver did not want to mate, she would not take the initiative to "chat up" even if she met a rare species of the same kind in the sea, let alone let him remove its kidney.

As expected, lust is like a knife hanging over your head...

Deep Divers possess extremely high intelligence, cold aesthetics, and a cruel worldview. Without the influence of external forces, their bodies will not age and they can possess eternal immortality.

Furthermore, the Deep Ones use their own language, the Lalaye language.

The origin of the Lalaye language is unknown, but every Deep One is born with it, including fully transformed hybrids. It seems to be etched in their blood as muscle memory.

Qin Zhibo checked his language skills and was surprised to find that the Lalaye language had been preserved.

Currently, Qin Zhibo's language skills include: English, Japanese, Chinese, French, Latin, and Lalaye.

The level of language skills has also reached level 6. If you want to fully master the Lalaye language, you need to upgrade all 16000 skill proficiency.

What’s even more difficult is that if you can’t fully master the Lalaye language, you won’t be able to learn the next language.

Gan!

its stuck!

Qin Zhibo had a headache. Although he felt that mastering five languages was enough, he might need to use other languages in the future.

The Korahaya language is neither good to look at nor to speak; it is simply the worst of all useless things.

What's more troublesome is that you can't learn a language out of thin air. You at least need to refer to the textbook that records the language to learn.

Is there any book written in Lalaye language in this world?

Qin Zhibo felt that this was almost impossible, unless the deep diver also had the habit of writing books.

……

After returning to Arkham Town, Qin Zhibo immediately went to the hospital in the town center for a routine blood test.

Qin Zhibo told the doctor truthfully that he might have been exposed to nuclear radiation, which made the doctor feel a little puzzled.

Considering that Qin Zhibo's face has some Asian features, the doctor secretly speculated in his heart whether Qin Zhibo had developed a phobia due to historical reasons.

This falls under the category of mental illness and it is recommended that he be transferred to Arkham Asylum.

In short, the white blood cell count in Qin Zhibo's body is completely normal and has not decreased.

This made Qin Zhibo temporarily relieved. After walking out of the hospital, he immediately went to apply for a phone card and bought a new mobile phone.

This is what Carl Sanford requested and may be needed tomorrow.

……

The next day, early in the morning.

Qin Zhibo had just sat up from the bed and hadn't even had time to stretch his aching body when there was a knock on the door.

Qin Zhibo quickly put on the human skin mask and opened the door. Outside was a strange white man.

"Mr. Carl is waiting for you on Garrison Street. Put this on before you go."

After saying that, the white man handed over a standard suit with no special features, leaving Qin Zhibo a little confused.

Without thinking too much, Qin Zhibo quickly washed up, changed into his suit, and went out.

After walking for 15 minutes, we arrived at Garrison Street.

In the morning mist, Qin Zhibo could see a luxurious vintage car with shiny paint parked on the side of the road.

Qin Zhibo walked to the car, and the window slowly rolled down. Sitting inside was Carl Sanford.

"boarding."

As soon as Karl’s voice fell, the front passenger door opened automatically.
