Conan Rick's Investigator

Qin Zhibo raised the crowbar and was about to end Mi-Go's life when he saw "Qin Zhibo" next to him.

"Come on..."

Qin Zhibo handed the crowbar to "Qin Zhibo", and the other self took the crowbar and smashed it on Mi-Go's head without hesitation.

Snapped--

MI-Go's head split open like a watermelon, and green juice splashed out.

The same thing happened to the other one, who was dealt with cleanly and neatly by "Qin Zhibo".

After dealing with the two Mi-Gos, Qin Zhibo walked forward to check the human skins they were using.

One was an old man with a thick mustache, and the other was a middle-aged man. Both of their skins had the glow of investigation points, indicating that they were made of human corpses.

MI-Go has very strong biotechnology and hands-on ability. It can make the human body into a wearable skin, and can also use some special materials to create a brand new human skin out of thin air.

Both corpses are not complete enough to access skills.

After all, they were once two human beings, so Qin Zhibo decided to show his humanitarian spirit and take the body out and bury it.

But just as he was about to start peeling the skin, Qin Zhibo suddenly realized something was wrong.

The two MI-Gos are completely dead, why doesn't the system show a mission completion prompt?

"..."

The atmosphere in the air was eerily quiet.

At this moment, a thunderclap suddenly came from behind.

Qin Zhibo looked back and saw a blue ball of sparks flying towards him.

At the critical moment, Qin Zhibo subconsciously performed a tactical roll and left the range of the spherical sparks.

Breaking away from Qin Zhibo's target, the spherical sparks fell on the two corpses and instantly ignited flames.

Qin Zhibo took a look.

Come on, no need to bury it.

Turning his gaze back, Qin Zhibo saw a figure hiding behind the crevice of the stone.

This is... Eryuan Jiagui!

The Lao Liu who attacked him was "Eryuan Jiagui", but he was not the real Eryuan Jiagui.

There was something twisted under his skin, tearing at the outer skin, which looked inexplicably strange.

"Buzz-"

With that weird noise coming from his body, it was obvious that there was a Mi-Go in there too.

"Eryuan's" body movements were not coherent. He twitched and jammed like a zombie. He must have been hurt by the sprayer.

It raised the metal weapon in its hand above its head, twisted its wrist at an angle that ordinary people could not do, and aimed at Qin Zhibo again.

Invisibility is useless against telepathic races.

So, Qin Zhibo quietly put on the [Gift of the Golden Tree] on his wrist, which increased his agility by 10 points. He focused all his attention on the muzzle of the gun, paying attention to the direction and timing of the gun's shooting.

Pi——

Another ball of sparks shot out from the muzzle. Qin Zhibo, who was highly concentrated, changed his tactics instantly the moment he saw the ball sparks coming out of the gun.

The speed of the spherical sparks was slightly slower than the bullets from human firearms, and the target was too obvious, so Qin Zhibo barely avoided the attack.

And "Qin Zhibo", under the instruction of Qin Zhibo's heart, quietly moved to the side of "Eryuan" and pounced on him with a big jump.

"Qin Zhibo" has no independent thoughts, so MI-Go cannot sense him and is naturally defenseless.

Two creatures that looked like humans but were not humans were fighting each other, and Qin Zhibo quickly went to help with a crowbar.

a bit……

Two clicks...

three times...

Three consecutive heavy blows hit "Eryuan"'s head, leaving a huge dent in its head, and its twitching body gradually became motionless.

Congratulations on completing the main quest - Debts Must Be Repaid.

[Acquire 3000 general skill proficiency]

【Get 2 lucky draw opportunities】

Qin Zhibo breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the task prompt pop up from the system.

"call--"

It turns out that this mission is not just to kill one MI-Go, but a whole nest of Mi-Go.

Qin Zhibo used a crowbar to pry open the already loose human skin, revealing the Mi-Go underneath.

There was only one skin bag left, and Qin Zhibo was too lazy to take it out and bury it separately, so he simply threw it on the two skin bags and burned them together.

There was also the dog in the laboratory above the mine tunnel. Qin Zhibo asked "Qin Zhibo" to bring it down and burn it together.

Looking at the blazing flames, Qin Zhibo was a little dazed.

After everything was burned to ashes, he glanced at "Qin Zhibo" and took back the substitute messenger and the bait doll.

After this experience, Qin Zhibo found that the combination of these two props was quite useful, which was equivalent to having an extra friend to carry out the mission together.

An old seal, a crowbar, and a friend…all three of the sacred tools are there.

After completing the mission, Qin Zhibo began to search around in the mine.

What interested Qin Zhibo was the minerals collected by the MI-Go people on Earth.

According to Mr. i-Go clan, the metal ore they want to collect is an extremely rare ore that has never been found in their own world.

Because the Mi-Gos communicate telepathically, the mineral has no name.

Even on Earth, which the Mi-Go considers a mining area, this ore is not found everywhere.

Mi-Go spent a considerable amount of time exploring before gradually figuring out the approximate distribution of this mineral on the earth.

The ore contains a certain cosmic energy that can be used to create some unimaginable creations.

Mr. Clock did not tell Qin Zhibo what the creation was specifically, but said it involved a major plan within the race.

Qin Zhibo wanted to try his luck and see if he could find the ore that Mr. Clock mentioned in this mine.

The further he walked in, the more incredible it seemed to Qin Zhibo.

The underground rock layer is cut into neat and huge rock blocks.

These rock blocks vary in size, showing how Mi-Go mining works.

They first use seismic mining machines to transfer huge blocks of rock into the mine, and then use the seismic mining machine to transfer another block out.

This goes on and on, just like playing with nesting dolls.

Although the outer shell remains unchanged, the ore inside will be gradually transferred out until they get the ore they want.

Qin Zhibo walked quickly in the mining area. Square rocks of different sizes shaped the unique landform.

In order to prevent the mine from collapsing, they used huge rock pillars to support the dome of the mine.

It can be seen that MI-Go has been operating this mining area for many years, which is different from the mine in Shannisi that was just started.

Because the mine was too big, Qin Zhibo felt bored after walking around for a while and thought there would be no new discoveries, so he walked back.

Back at the mine entrance, the bodies of the three Mi-Gos had almost completely decomposed, turning into a liquid-solid mixture that was turbid and sticky.

However, in one of the puddles of mucus, Qin Zhibo found a square stone the size of a walnut.

This stone looks like an ordinary gray stone, but it makes Qin Zhibo a little concerned.

According to Mi-Go's mining method, this stone was transferred layer by layer using a seismic mining machine, and it was the last "solid toy" peeled out of the "nesting doll".

And it is quite intriguing that Mi-Go carries it with him.

Could this be the ore that Mi-Go wants to mine on Earth?

Qin Zhibo thought about it and decided to take the stone back and wait for the almighty inventor Dr. Agasa to return and ask him to analyze it.

But when Qin Zhibo thought about what Mr. Clcok said about this thing containing cosmic energy, he felt a little scared again.

The cosmic energy it talks about...could it be radiation?

The Mi-Go are a race that can travel through the universe in their physical bodies. They are definitely not afraid of cosmic radiation, nor do they think it is harmful.

But the human body is different.

Thinking of this, Qin Zhibo quickly threw the stone on the ground again and thought about how to bring it back safely.

After thinking about it for a while, Qin Zhibo came up with an idea.

He first materialized [Bottled Fear] from the prop bar, and then asked "Qin Zhibo" to pick up the stone and quickly put it into the bottle.

The stones sank into the sea water already in the bottle, and then Qin Zhibo collected them all back into the prop bar.

The effect of bottled fear is to relieve the fear of one thing in the bottle. When there are two things in the bottle at the same time, the one that occupies a larger volume will be relieved of the fear.

Therefore, putting the mysterious stone into the bottle will not affect its effect.

After doing all this, Qin Zhibo returned to the underground space on the upper level.

There are many Mi-Go technologies placed in this place, some of which have clear uses, while others cannot.

Although these technologies were many years ahead of humans and would be extremely valuable even if kept for personal use, Qin Zhibo knew that he could not take them away.

Because the Mi-Go attach their sacred patterns to their race's technology, if humans try to take it away, the Mi-Go will hunt down the person who stole it.

Simply put, each of these technologies has GPS installed, and it's the kind that can't be removed.

……

Walking out of the cave, Qin Zhibo took a deep breath of the fresh air outside.

After turning on the navigation device and figuring out the direction of the villa, Qin Zhibo jogged towards it and soon returned.

Qin Zhibo climbed back into his room through the window, took off his coat, put on slippers, and pretended to have just come out of the room.

When I opened the door, I happened to run into Conan and Mao Lilan who were walking out of the old woman's room.

"Eh? Mr. Qin, are you awake so soon?"

"Uh..." Qin Zhibo paused, "I can't sleep, so I got up and moved around..."

Seeing Qin Zhibo wake up, Conan was delighted, thinking that he had someone to show off to.

"Uncle Qin, we just checked the videotape from four years ago and found that it wasn't the hunters' shooting that caused the avalanche, but an earthquake."

Conan puffed out his chest with a confident look on his face, and was about to say, "I thought of this."

Qin Zhibo glanced down at Conan and said expressionlessly, "Oh, it's pretty good..."

Conan: "..." This praise is too perfunctory...

What Conan didn't know was that Qin Zhibo had figured out not only the cause of the earthquake, but also the source of those human skins on the way back to the villa.

The old man with the thick mustache was the former owner of this villa. Qin Zhibo had seen the old man's photo in the living room.

The former owner of the villa died in an avalanche, so the other person is naturally Ayako's brother and Konakawa's boyfriend, Xia Ye.

The two men died in an avalanche caused by a seismic mining machine, and their bodies were dug up by the Mi-Go and made into human skins.

In addition, the deceased Eryuan was also taken back by Mi-Go and made into a skin.

As for the two hunters who disappeared, they might have been destroyed by Mi-Go.

Because there are three Mi-Gos in this mine, which happen to be three human skins.

Last night, the buzzing sound that Kyogoku Makoto heard was made by Mi-Go. They discovered Kyogoku Makoto at that time.

After all, Mi-Go can telepathically sense nearby humans, so Kyogoku really can't hide.

However, the Mi-Go already had enough human skins at that time, and these MI-Go would not easily kill living people, so they did not attack Kyogoku Makoto.

Of course, Qin Zhibo didn't need to tell the truth behind this case.

He touched Conan's head and went to the bathroom to wash his hands.
