Conan Rick's Investigator

Qin Zhibo carried Sawada Hiroki and flew quickly towards the white hole.

The countless tentacles wrapped around the octopus head below were actually slowly melting.

The melted tentacles turned into green code and merged into the bloated body of the octopus head, and two new arms grew out.

He roared angrily towards the sky like a Leviathan, and the fresh tentacles that regenerated twitched wildly.

He raised his arm, and in an instant, countless tentacles split out from it and chased towards Qin Zhibo.

Qin Zhibo was holding Sawada Hiroki, and his flying ability was affected, and the distance between him and the tentacles behind him was getting closer and closer.

Just as the tip of the tentacle was about to touch his ankle, Qin Zhibo's body almost simultaneously drilled into the white hole.

wow——

The intense white light quickly engulfed the entire field of vision.

The next moment, the white light faded like the tide, and the field of vision was replaced by the deep blue sea.

Qin Zhibo held his breath and used his flying ability to rush out of the sea, only to find himself back on the sea where the Viking pirates were.

On the sea, Viking pirates on more than a dozen warships stared at the whirlpool in the center of the sea without stopping for a moment.

The moment they saw Qin Zhibo rushing out, all the pirates cheered loudly.

"The warriors defeated the monsters!"

"we won!"

This scene is somewhat like the victory settlement screen of a game. The NPC, who obviously did not contribute much, cheers along with the players.

Qin Zhibo ignored them, landed on a Viking warship, and put Sawada Hiroki down from his arms.

At this moment, Hiroki Sawada was like an insecure child, his body curled up, his arms wrapped around his legs, and he was wrapped in a layer of transparent crystal shell.

Qin Zhibo guessed that this should be Hiroki Sawada's self-hibernation mechanism, otherwise he would have been assimilated after staying in Green Signal's body for such a long time.

After all, Hiroki Sawada is an artificial intelligence, not a real human being. As long as he temporarily enters hibernation, he can completely eliminate external influences.

Unlike humans, as long as they are not dead, they cannot be free from the influence of the outside world.

Sometimes, even death is not a peaceful death, and the body may be used by others or even resurrected.

Just as Qin Zhibo was figuring out how to restart Sawada Hiroki's computer, there was a "click" sound, and the surface of the crystal shell shattered, with a penetrating crack appearing.

As the crack appeared, the crystal shell shattered and Hiroki Sawada slowly opened his eyes.

His eyes were blank for a moment before they fixed on Qin Zhibo.

"Mr. Qin...you saved me?"

"Ah."

Qin Zhibo couldn't help feeling excited when he saw that Sawada Hiroki still recognized him.

If Hiroki Sawada had not given him a push when the "green signal" appeared, he would probably have faced the impact of the "green signal".

This impact directly affects the brain, and the effect is more than ten times stronger than facing the strange snowflakes on the screen.

Now it's my turn to save him.

"Thank you."

Sawada Hiroki first thanked him politely, then changed the subject and asked, "How did you rescue me?"

"I..." Qin Zhibo was a little embarrassed about this question. He couldn't say that it was a big sword given by the system, plus the plug-in opened by the game maker, right?

"I use Kingsoft Internet Security."

"Jinshan? Duba?"

"And 360 Antivirus."

"360? Antivirus?"

Hiroki Sawada was a little confused. As an artificial intelligence AI that surfed the Internet intensively, he had never heard of these two words.

While the two were communicating, huge waves suddenly arose on the sea.

Everyone turned their heads to look at the center of the sea, and saw a huge green body crawling out of the water.

For a moment, the sea was shaking, and Qin Zhibo and the Viking pirates on the warship had to grab the side of the ship with all their strength to avoid falling into the water.

That huge body violated the laws of physics in the game and almost overturned the ocean. Endless sea water flowed down from His smooth head, forming a waterfall.

The waterfall rushed into the sea again, and the mist it stirred up wet everyone's face.

Qin Zhibo was shocked and stared at the huge figure in the mist. It turned out to be the octopus head that had chased him into this world!

And in this space, his figure was more clearly revealed. His huge body was like a mountain, and his extremely powerful strength stirred up huge waves, overturning several Viking warships in an instant.

Seeing this, Qin Zhibo quickly picked up Sawada Hiroki and flew into the sky.

Facing this huge monster, he knew he had no chance of winning, and the only option now was to escape.

But the problem is that although I can run away, I just need to unplug the cable and exit the game. Hiroki Sawada is in this game, so how can he run away?

"Hiroki, can you quit this game?"

Sawada Hiroki looked at Qin Zhibo and shook his head with a sad look in his eyes. "No, I know this 'green signal' very well. Once it is locked onto by Him, He will keep pestering me."

"Mr. Qin, please leave."

Hiroki Sawada urged Qin Zhibo to leave, but Qin Zhibo was extremely unwilling to do so.

After finally rescuing Hiroki Sawada, am I going to run away again like last time?

But there is no way for him to completely get rid of the "green signal". Even if he continues to stay here, it will be a waste of his time.

Is there nothing I can do but give up?

Just as Qin Zhibo was struggling with his inner thoughts, the Viking pirates on the sea suddenly became excited.

"The monster isn't dead yet! Great!"

"It's our chance to make a contribution!"

"For Valhalla!"

All the Weir pirates rowed their boats in unison, shouting slogans as they rowed towards the huge monster on the sea.

"warrior!"

"Witness us—!"

Their voices were loud and clear, spreading across the sea.

They broke through the mist, carrying unparalleled momentum, leaving behind determined and fearless figures, and all rushed into the vast mist.

There was not a single Viking warship left on the sea.

Qin Zhibo watched all this and couldn't help feeling moved.

Although I know that these game NPCs are just following the Viking tradition and carrying out suicide attacks that are pre-programmed.

But this kind of momentum made Qin Zhibo figure out one thing.

Since his Oathkeeper Sword could hurt the octopus head, it meant that he had a chance to defeat him.

This kind of victory does not necessarily mean complete annihilation. Even if it is just a temporary repulse of the "green signal", it can be considered a victory for oneself.

As long as they can buy some time, enough to transfer Hiroki Sawada's own code to other devices, everything will be safe.

"Mr. Qin, you'd better leave quickly before He completely invades this world." Hiroki Sawada issued another warning.

But Qin Zhibo's eyes became firm and he shook his head.

"I'm not leaving."

"Now, go online and find an external device that can transfer the data. I'll hold Him back here."

"With my current combat power, even if I can't kill him, I will definitely not be killed by him."

Qin Zhibo looked firmly at the green figure on the sea, gripping the Oath-Keeping Sword tighter in his hand.

"But……"

Hiroki Sawada was about to say something, but the green body on the sea suddenly trembled violently and let out a deafening roar.

Countless foul-smelling green gases erupted from the disgusting bloated body, gathering into an indescribable green cloud.

As the green gas erupted, the huge body of the octopus head became noticeably smaller.

Qin Zhibo frowned slightly, it seemed that the Viking pirates' attack was effective?

However, the Vikings' weapons couldn't even cut through the tentacles released by the octopus head, let alone cause damage to the octopus head itself.

Is it...

The octopus head’s weakness is the boat?

Chapter 1048 Return

Qin Zhibo looked at the octopus head on the sea surface. A faint green color was revealed in the mist, and its body was obviously much smaller than before.

But even so, He still stands between the sea and the sky like a small mountain.

The only way the Vikings could have caused damage was by ramming the octopus's body with their boat.

Is it true that the octopus head is set to be a weak ship?

However, the Vikings' warships were actually quite small, about ten meters long. Some of them looked like dragon boats with square sails and did not even have cabins.

Historically, it was the Vikings who first invented the keel structure, which greatly enhanced the ship's long-distance sailing and manning capacity.

But compared with the ships of later generations, this dragon boat-shaped ship is not even good enough.

In the Victorian era, Britain enjoyed the technological achievements brought by the First Industrial Revolution and was the country with the most powerful maritime power at that time!

"Hiroki! I have an idea!"

Qin Zhibo turned to Sawada Hiroki and said, "You must mobilize all the ships in this game right now, especially those in the London shipyards!"

"Let all the ships come over and ram this big guy!"

When Hiroki Sawada heard this method, he guessed Qin Zhibo's idea, nodded without hesitation, and his body disappeared.

Hiroki Sawada is an artificial intelligence, and he helped develop this game. It is easy for him to modify the behavior of some NPCs in the game.

Just as Qin Zhibo was staring at the angry figure on the sea, the octopus head slowly glanced over, its scarlet pupils filled with full malice.

As their eyes met, countless tentacles rushed out from the mist and grabbed Qin Zhibo's body.

Seeing this, Qin Zhibo used his flying ability to the fullest and entangled with the octopus head again.

……

Between heaven and earth, a small figure was flying up and down among the tentacles.

The source of the tentacles was a hazy and huge green octopus monster.

He casually swung his slimy body, and countless tentacles flew out.

Unclean green clouds continued to gather above the octopus monster's head, polluting large areas of the sky and sea, and the speed was getting faster and faster.

Qin Zhibo had witnessed such a scene before. The last time "Green Signal" invaded the game world, it corroded almost the entire world with green.

By that time, everything in the game will be polluted by green, including one's own consciousness.

We must speed up...

While Qin Zhibo was dodging the attacks of the tentacles, he would occasionally glance at the sea in the distance.

Finally, some irregular protrusions appeared on the distant sea level.

Countless ships came with the wind, the largest of which was a large steamship with several chimneys, and the smallest was a flat boat from a primitive tribe.

Hiroki Sawada adjusted the wind speed in the game so that all the ships had tailwind, and the speed of the sailboats was no less than that of the ironclad steamships.

"finally come……"

Seeing the reinforcements, a smile appeared on Qin Zhibo's face.

At this time, Sawada Hiroki was also floating in the air and said to Qin Zhibo: "I have mobilized all the ships that can be mobilized..."
