Conan Rick's Investigator

(￣︶￣)～

……

In the dark corridor, "Qin Zhibo" walked in front to explore the way, while Qin Zhibo turned on the night vision goggles and followed carefully behind.

This corridor is narrow, long, dark and silent, and no one knows where it leads to.

But there is no doubt that this is Mi-GO's lair.

When the yellow-green field of view of the night vision goggles suddenly widened, Qin Zhibo's gaze leaped over "Qin Zhibo's" shoulder and saw an incredible scene.

This is a relatively spacious and flat underground space, which houses a large number of strange-shaped instruments and equipment.

The mysterious underground space emits an indescribable strange light, allowing people to see everything inside without the help of other tools.

Qin Zhibo walked to a huge cube-shaped machine and placed his hand on it tentatively.

When his palm touched it, Qin Zhibo suddenly had some inspiration in his brain.

"Seismic Mining Machine..."

Chapter 702 Fire in the hole!

"Seismic Mining Machine..."

Qin Zhibo muttered to himself.

Two seconds later, his brain suddenly came to his senses, and he quickly withdrew his hand and re-examined the machine in front of him.

It is about six meters high, and each side of the cube is dotted with hundreds of small convex windows, like frosted glass, a hazy and opaque material.

According to human understanding, this is an "earthquake mining machine" produced by MI-Go Technology.

When this device is working, it can call upon some kind of spatial force to pull the deep underground strata, penetrate the rock layers above, and reach the mineral layers up to four or five miles below.

However, the operation of this device has a side effect - it can induce earthquakes.

The intensity of an earthquake varies depending on the depth and size of the strata shift.

Therefore, MI-Go generally only uses this machine in uninhabited areas deep in the mountains to prevent humans from detecting abnormalities due to excessively frequent seismic activity.

Of course, in Japan, a country prone to earthquakes, some minor earthquakes are of no concern.

So in theory, Japan is Mi-Go's mining comfort zone, and they don't need to care much about human feelings.

Anyway, I'm used to this daily life.

Qin Zhibo looked up in disbelief at the huge monster in front of him.

Although he had dealt with Mr. Clock several times, this was the first time Qin Zhibo saw such exaggerated Mi-GO technology with his own eyes.

The statue of the honored master, Toroko Myo-o, found underground in Yatogamiura City, Chiba Prefecture, isn't necessarily a technological invention...

In order not to reveal his identity, Mr. Clock usually does not carry any alien technology on him, except for the human skin on his body.

But in this miner-type Mi-GO's lair, alien technology is predominant.

In addition to the seismic mining machine, there are many other devices and instruments that Qin Zhibo did not have time to recognize one by one.

Among the many strange and dazzling devices, Qin Zhibo saw the only thing he recognized.

That's an operating table.

Although the shape is different from the traditional style in hospitals, it can be seen that it is tailor-made for the human body.

The operating table was empty and spotlessly clean.

Looking past the operating table, Qin Zhibo saw a mine leading to a deeper level.

Just as he was about to bypass the operating table and explore the mine opposite, he was discovered by a dog behind the operating table.

This is a gray Husky, and it is exactly the same as the dog named "Sanlang" raised in the villa!

……

Chaodu Villa.

After everyone finished watching the video, they entered into a relaxed and enjoyable exchange session.

Suzuki Sonoko and Kyogoku Makoto were having fun in the living room. Ran Mouri couldn't bear to disturb them, so she took Conan to the old woman in the villa to listen to stories.

After all, the old woman seems to be knowledgeable and her story must be very interesting.

"me……"

"It's not a big story, actually. I just came here twelve years ago and met the former owner of the villa by chance."

"I often stayed here at that time. I became familiar with the old man and his two dogs, and then we lived together."

"Two dogs?" asked Ran Maori in confusion.

The old woman took out an old photo album from the cabinet, pointed at the photos inside and said, "Look, these two dogs are Saburo and Jiro, they are from the same litter."

"But Jiro disappeared not long after I moved into the villa, and I couldn't find him no matter how hard I looked..."

Mao Lilan looked at him with some pity and sighed, "How pitiful..."

Conan on the side was not so sentimental. At this moment, he was still immersed in the joy of "winning" over Qin Zhibo.

……

Mi-Go's underground lair.

Although the Husky's body was still lying on the ground, its neck was already straight, and a few canine teeth were exposed at the corners of its mouth in an extremely unfriendly manner.

woo-

It hummed softly with its mouth, as if it regarded Qin Zhibo as an invader.

Mi-Go also has dogs?

In front of the dog was a dog food bowl with some dark red stuff in it, like oil paint mixed together, which was a bit disgusting, and there was also the light of the investigation point in it.

Qin Zhibo didn't have time to think more, he could only try his best to comfort the dog and stop it from barking.

"Good dog..."

"Good dog...I'm your uncle..."

Qin Zhibo didn't know what he was talking about. Logic didn't matter anyway, and memorizing pi didn't matter.

Just keep your tone calm so the dog feels reassured and non-threatening.

Qin Zhibo's gentle whispers seemed to work, and the dog's whimpering became a little weaker, but it still stared vigilantly at the "Uncle Dog" in front of it.

"Your uncle is coming over now...please don't yell..."

The frozen body tentatively moved half a step, but the dog showed no reaction.

But just when Qin Zhibo thought he had gained the dog's trust, the dog lying on the ground suddenly stood up and ran towards Qin Zhibo.

"Wang!"

"Wangwang!"

Obviously, the plan to establish a relationship with the dog failed, and the other party still regarded Qin Zhibo as an invader.

Qin Zhibo's heart trembled. At the critical moment, a figure rushed out quickly between the dog and the man.

It’s “Qin Zhibo”!

Under the control of the substitute user, the bait puppet took the initiative to stand in front of Qin Zhibo, just in time to catch the dog that pounced on him.

While tearing, the Husky's fangs kept opening and closing beside the bait doll's ear, making a grunting sound.

The stand user held the running dog's head tightly with both hands. Since his strength attribute was completely inherited from Qin Zhibo's body, he was not bitten by the dog.

Just when "Qin Zhibo" controlled the Husky, Qin Zhibo pulled out a magic weapon from the prop bar - a crowbar.

"Raise it higher!"

At a command, "Qin Zhibo" lifted the Husky to the limit above his head.

Qin Zhibo gripped the crowbar tightly and swung it like a baseball bat, and the curved metal part of the crowbar hit the Husky's head directly.

woo-

The whole Husky spun several times in the air with a painful whimper, flew several meters away, and lay motionless on the ground.

"Don't blame me, you've been bribed by aliens and are a traitor to Earth..."

Qin Zhibo put away the crowbar and turned to look at the dog food bowl, where there was an investigation point.

【Corpse Investigation√】

[The body integrity is less than 70%, and the body cannot be examined]

Qin Zhibo: "..."

It was clearly part of a human corpse, which MI-Go was feeding to its dogs.

Qin Zhibo glanced back at the husky on the ground and pointed at it, saying, "You vicious dog, your crime is even more serious..."

At this moment, some faint sounds came from the mine behind the operating table.

hum-

buzz-

The unique sound of Mi-GO came from the bottom of the mine. Both the volume and rhythm of the sound sounded wrong.

They heard the noise above!

Coming up!

Qin Zhibo quickly opened the suitcase on the ground next to him and took out the sprayer inside.

Unscrew the structure in the middle of the sprayer, and several nozzles will pop out quickly, and you are ready.

Qin Zhibo found the right angle, threw the sprayer down the mine tunnel, and shouted habitually.

"Fire in the hole!"

Chapter 703 MI-Go's Mining Area

"Fire in the hole!"

Card, card, card...

The sprayer rolled down the mine tunnel, making a few hollow and crisp metal collision sounds.

Then, the liquid in the sprayer quickly vaporized and sprayed out a light purple mist.

These mists are non-toxic to humans but deadly to Mi-Go. The smoke makes the Mi-Go roar loudly and buzzingly from the tunnel.

The mist will continue to spray for about 5 minutes.

Qin Zhibo used the task timer to observe the time and waited for 5 minutes, but the system still did not pop up a prompt that the task was completed.

After waiting for another 5 minutes, there was still no movement inside and no prompt from the system.

There was no way to continue the stalemate, so Qin Zhibo had no choice but to go down and see the situation.

Let the stand user control the bait puppet and walk in front, while Qin Zhibo walks behind, carefully passing through the dim tunnel.

When we got down there, there was still some light purple in the air, but the color was already quite thin.

Lying at the entrance of the mine were two dying Mi-Gos.

Half of their bodies pierced through the human skin that wrapped them, trying to break free and escape, but to no avail.

Their bodies were gradually dissolving, first scattering like dandelion seeds, and then completely melting into a clear, oily liquid.

This is the mechanism of the Mi-Go body. When they die, their bodies will quickly decompose within a few hours.

The membrane wings were soaked in the pus that had melted from other parts of the body, still flapping slightly.

Qin Zhibo walked forward, took out the crowbar from the prop bar again, and peeled off the human skin at the head.

Inside was the Mi-Go's iconic ellipsoidal head, with short tentacles twitching slightly.
