Conan Rick's Investigator

Something was not right in the palace right now, and coupled with the conversation with the queen just now, it made the old fox Qian Xing even more aware that he must not wake up at this time.

The identity of ICPO cannot save your life.

Run away quickly!

Qian Xing narrowed his eyes and observed the situation. When several guards carried the bodies of other people to the shore, he turned around and jumped into the lake.

The shallow splashes and sounds of falling water did not alarm the guards on the plank road.

……

As dusk approached, a figure climbed upwards deep in the jungle.

After searching for an entire afternoon, Qin Zhibo finally found the location of a suspected mine.

This is located in the deepest part of the nature reserve, an area surrounded by barbed wire more than one person high.

In the area, all natural vegetation was razed to the ground, and the ground turned gray, as if it had lost all vitality.

Qin Zhibo climbed to a high place, crawled on the ground, and used a telescope to observe the situation below from afar.

Chapter 1081 Ore Field

The afterglow of the setting sun fades away inch by inch, and darkness is about to cover this gray earth.

Qin Zhibo was crawling on a high place, his body hidden in the bushes, transforming into Voldemort, quietly observing the situation in the mine below.

Looking down from a high vantage point, the mine below is a huge circle with a diameter of about 200 meters.

The outline of the circle is surrounded by a wire fence more than one meter high. The gray land within the circle is very special, like a huge convex spot in a nature reserve, somewhat like the soil on the moon, lifeless at all.

There is not a single green plant on this gray land, and even the green plants on the hills have been cleared away.

It was the first time that Qin Zhibo had seen the surrounding area cleaned up so thoroughly in order to build a mine.

In their place were military trucks, helicopters, large searchlights, supply boxes, military-style tents, etc.

However, after observing from above for 10 minutes, Qin Zhibo did not find any soldiers active at the checkpoints entering and exiting the mine.

Even during this period of time, there was not a single person in the entire camp.

Strange……

Qin Zhibo thought to himself that it was strange. Logically speaking, these minerals had become an important strategic resource for Vesbania, and the defenses could not be so lax.

Are all those soldiers in the barracks?

But there can't be no trace of activity at all, right?

It was already late, and Qin Zhibo came here today only to find the specific location of the mine, and did not intend to get things done in one go.

But he was still somewhat interested in figuring out the deployment situation in the camp and preparing for the next operation.

Qin Zhibo took out the [Glass Bottle] from the prop bar, ready to summon Minase Yangmeng, and let the ghost float down to find out the situation in the camp.

But when Qin Zhibo was about to summon, he found that the colorful bubble beads symbolizing the ghost of Minase Yangmeng could not be "poured" out no matter what.

If it cannot be "poured" out, it means it cannot be summoned.

Ok?

How is this going?

Qin Zhibo was puzzled, and then poured out an ordinary blue bubble bead, and it was poured out successfully.

A ghost slowly floated out, a light blue human silhouette with a chaotic appearance.

"Where is your eldest daughter?" Qin Zhibo asked.

This is the ordinary soul produced by a normal person after death, and it can also be called a ghost.

It can communicate and accept commands, but cannot speak or execute complex commands.

The blue ghost hesitated for a few seconds before shaking its head from side to side.

This is a negative answer, but I don’t know what the specific negative is. Is it that they can’t come out, or are unwilling to come out, or I don’t know either.

Qin Zhibo guessed that there must be a reason why he didn't come out.

The ghost of Minase Yangmeng is quite special. She was created by the collective thought power of believers. She exists because of the thought power.

This world is a parallel world. Without the thought power of Tulpa believers, Minase Yomu would not exist.

However, this also indirectly proves that Tulpa believers in the original world still exist.

Unable to summon Minase Yangmeng, and since this little ghost was useless, Qin Zhibo had to go down and investigate the situation himself.

He put away the [Glass Bottle] and double-checked that there were no ambushes around the camp before sliding down the hillside.

When he was about to slide to the edge of the barbed wire, he seized the opportunity, jumped up, and landed with a tactical roll, and he was already inside the barbed wire.

Since there was no vegetation in the entire mine and there was very little cover, Qin Zhibo immediately put on the [Magic Ring] and entered invisible mode.

When in stealth mode, people can act boldly.

On the gray ground, circles of ashes the size of feet rose up one by one and quickly extended towards the camp, with the sound of "bang bang" footsteps.

Arriving at the barracks, Qin Zhibo listened attentively to the movements inside.

"..."

After listening for more than ten seconds, the barracks was very quiet and no sound was heard.

Faced with this situation, Qin Zhibo was a little surprised.

No matter how quiet it is, it can't be so quiet that there is no sound at all, right?

And the sun has just set, it can’t be that he’s asleep, right?

But on the way here just now, I didn't see any patrols, and the entire camp was completely unguarded.

Could it be that he is really sleeping?

To recharge for the night patrol?

Qin Zhibo thought about it and decided to go in and take a look.

If he could understand the daily routine of the Vesbanian defenders, he would be 100% sure of stealing the ore in his next operation.

Having made up his mind, Qin Zhibo quickly walked around to the front of the barracks and gently raised his hand to lift the curtain of the tent.

But as soon as the curtain was opened a little, a foul smell hit my nose.

Qin Zhibo's throat tightened and he subconsciously held his breath, while continuing to lift the curtain in his hand.

The inside of the barracks was very dark, without any light source, and one had to use night vision goggles to see clearly.

Qin Zhibo lifted the curtain wide enough to pass through and sneaked in.

Although the movement was quite large, due to the invisibility effect, it looked to outsiders like a gust of wind blowing the curtain open slightly.

He narrowed his eyes slightly and looked left and right at the dark green vision in front of him.

This is a standard 24-person barracks with an aisle in the middle and single beds for each soldier on both sides, with no bunk beds.

Qin Zhibo walked cautiously in the middle, and when he inhaled a little air through his nose, he was hit by a disgusting stench.

This was no longer the smell of a dirty life, but the smell of a rotting corpse.

But amidst this corruption, one can faintly smell the scent of disinfectant.

The two flavors mixed together, creating an extremely chaotic and terrible experience.

Attracted by the smell, Qin Zhibo felt something was wrong and quietly walked towards the nearest camp bed.

In the dark green field of vision, one could see a human-shaped protrusion. It was a soldier lying on the bed, and even his posture was very standard, lying straight.

But when I walked to the head of the bed to check, a chill suddenly surged from my tailbone, spread across my back, and then reached my numb scalp.

This soldier has his eyes open!

A pair of eyes stared at Qin Zhibo blankly, and his mouth was slightly open.

When their eyes met, it was Qin Zhibo, who was looking down, who was shocked.

I was invisible, how could this soldier see me?

But after all, he had a will of steel, so Qin Zhibo did not panic. He stood there calmly, holding his breath, and did not even dare to move his neck for fear of making any unusual noise.

But soon, Qin Zhibo discovered something unusual.

The soldier just kept his eyes open, without even blinking, and his chest didn't even rise or fall when he breathed.

It's like a dead object.

This……

Qin Zhibo realized that something was wrong and quickly went to the bedside and reached out to press the soldier's body.

It didn't matter that he pressed it, the soldier's "body" actually sank!

The "body" dented downward like rubber, and when the hand was released, it slowly returned to its original shape.

This was not only the case with this soldier, but also with the other soldiers lying on the camp beds.

All of them...

It's all just skin!

Qin Zhibo reached out and tested them one by one, and found that every soldier lying there was a human-shaped skin bag.

At this moment, Qin Zhibo felt like Zuo Qianhu in A Chinese Ghost Story, and found that the court was full of bodies controlled by demons.

The physical properties of this leather bag are similar to those of rubber, but it emits a faint stench of decaying organic matter, and a slight smell of disinfectant, as if it has been soaked in special chemicals.

Qin Zhibo picked up a leather bag and found a strange metal clip inside, which seemed to be used to fix it in place.

The skin of the head is separate from the torso, and there are dozens of tiny circular contacts inside, which is very precise.

Seeing this, Qin Zhibo also guessed what these skins were made of.

It's Mi-Go!

These are biochemical dolls made by Mi-Go. They are actually human skins that can help Mi-Go disguise their identities.

This thing is similar to a ragdoll suit, but much more sophisticated than a ragdoll suit and is designed according to the Mi-Go's body structure.

Those contacts on the inside of the skull are controlled by the tentacles on Mi-Go's oval head, which can simulate different human expressions.

It’s just that these biochemical dolls were made very recently, and the smell of corruption has not yet been removed.

What's even more terrifying is that there are as many Mi-Gos as there are biochemical dolls here.

And those Mi-Go's certainly can't be far away!

After exploring here, Qin Zhibo immediately turned around, lifted the curtain, rushed out of the barracks, and fled outside the camp.

Although he has the invisibility of the [Lord of the Rings], Mi-Go has telepathic abilities. Although not as abnormal as the Kunyang people, he can still detect the presence of minds within a few meters.

And there are not just one or two Mi-Gos here, but at least a company!

They killed the Vesbanian defenders here and replaced them, so that they could mine the ore openly.

No wonder we didn’t encounter any sentries on the way here. They must have been killed.

Qin Zhibo quickly fled from the gray ore mine, not daring to stay at all.

Only after running away one kilometer did he dare to stop and catch his breath.

This mine is now completely controlled by Mi-Go and is much more dangerous than before.

If we compare it to a game copy, the previous mine was only A-level difficulty, but now it is at least SSS-level difficulty!

Although I have killed MI-Go several times, they were all with a sprayer, sneak attacks, or with the help of gods.

Hastur, the Yellow King, Tsathoggua, the Toad Lord...

But this world is not the original world. There may be some mysterious things in this world, but they cannot include real gods!

If I rely on myself...

Qin Zhibo knew in his heart that this was an impossible task.

The combat effectiveness of both sides is not on the same level, and he does not have a suitable weapon - a sprayer.
