Destiny coin.
Whenever he hears this word, Qin Zhibo always feels that some dead memories are attacking him.
However, this "destiny coin" does not simply increase or deduct blood, but truly changes destiny.
50% probability.
Once thrown, the gods cannot change it.
Qin Zhibo thought about it for a moment. Although this item is very cheap, for him who is only lucky to be 35, there is no "salvation", only "destined death".
If it's Mao Lilan's good luck, maybe.
Qin Zhibo looked back at Mao Lilan in the ward and thought that if the King in Yellow's dream erosion really reached a critical moment, it would not be too late to use it again.
I just don’t know if only I can throw the [Destiny Coin]
After looking at the first prop, Qin Zhibo turned his attention to the next one.
【A glass bottle】
[From the hands of a great magician from an era that cannot be traced]
[Its original purpose was to bring eternal torture to competitors]
[Even if the body has been annihilated, the soul cannot be reincarnated in the bottle]
[The stronger the magic power of the holder, the more souls can be contained in the bottle]
[A free soul cannot be imprisoned! One day, we will break through the prison - a certain prison breaker]
[Price: 5000 general skill proficiency]
This is a tool used to torture people's souls, but Qin Zhibo thought of another use.
Generally speaking, most people's souls dissipate after they die.
But if this prop is used to trap a person’s soul, will that person’s spirit never be extinguished?
Thinking further, if we can find a body lacking a soul through some means and resurrect the person, it is not impossible.
Just the matter of imprisoning a person's soul and then resurrecting it is full of too many uncertainties.
For example, in the last sentence in the introduction, it seems that the soul trapped in the glass bottle will have some sense of resistance.
The more souls there are in the glass bottle, the stronger this sense of resistance will be, and will eventually break through the shackles of the glass bottle.
So this thing is still a somewhat dangerous prop.
The third prop.
【Magic Flute】
[The taboo of a certain monastery family]
[With this item, you will dream of a red swineherd in the silent night]
[Try to play the same tune as the swineherd, and the rats will work for you]
【Even if they come from the wall.】
["Hey! Keep playing, maybe the players in the Invisible Palace will invite you to join the group!"]
[Price: 7777 general skill proficiency]
The second prop is related to "Jerry" and seems to be a prop that can control rats.
However, the price of this prop is very high, and there are many uncertainties in its specific effects.
For example, how many mice can be controlled at one time and to what extent? What if there are no mice in the surrounding environment?
In short, this item is a promising item in the future, but the high price and uncertainty of its effect make it unsuitable for priority purchase.
The fourth prop.
【Oath Keeping Sword】
[A sword crafted from Valyrian steel]
[Make an oath to this sword, and you will gain the courage and determination to move forward]
[This sword will also gain the ability to slay evil spirits and heretics because of your oath]
[Remember! Once a vow is made, it cannot be broken!]
[Those who break the oath will bear the punishment of the gods!]
["I swear in the name of the old and new gods!"]
[Price: 12,000 general skill proficiency]
This is a head-on confrontation weapon that can be used.
Since the crowbar, the Holy Sword of Physics, this is the second weapon Qin Zhibo has encountered that has its own offensive capabilities.
Compared with the ordinary crowbar, this oath-keeping sword itself has effects.
As long as you make an oath, your will can be improved to a certain extent and your immunity to mental attacks will be increased.
And the Oathkeeper Sword itself will also gain the ability to fight against evil heretics.
This thing is quite attractive to Qin Zhibo.
Although the crowbar is good, it can usually only hit humans, or pry open a door or something.
However, the Oath Keeper Sword has an amplifying effect on the wielder and the sword itself, and it also has extra lethality against evil heretics.
Qin Zhibo remembered that one of his skills included swordsmanship. If he practiced swordsmanship and combined it with the Oath Keeper Sword, it would be easy to subjugate demons.
What if Mi-Go is killed?
This thought came to Qin Zhibo's mind unconsciously.
According to currently known information, the most lethal weapon against Mi-Go is the sprayer.
However, the sprayer is too large and is not suitable for head-on conflicts. It is only suitable for sneak attacks in narrow spaces.
If there was an Oath Keeper, could Mi-Go's head be chopped off directly?
Thinking of this, Qin Zhibo shook his head and temporarily put aside this idea that suddenly came out of nowhere.
Next is the fifth prop, which is also the last prop of the week.
【Curse of Bloodborne】
[The mysterious curse spread in the lost ancient capital "Yarnan"]
[Those who are cursed will receive the grace of blood originating from the blood of the ancient gods]
[Since it is a curse, you must suffer it]
[Under the indescribable power, your dreams will be connected with the ancient gods]
[The more times you receive grace, the more your spirit will fall into it]
["Stranger, blood gives you rebirth, blood makes you crazy! What choice will you make?"]
[Price: 22,000 general skill proficiency]
This is the most expensive prop this week, and it is also the most puzzling prop for Qin Zhibo.
Sounds like a deal where you pay a certain price and get a piece of the power.
The so-called partial power is the "grace of blood", which can heal severe injuries to the body, even fatal injuries.
The so-called payment of the price means that the dream will be synchronized with the ancient gods. Every time you receive the "grace of blood", you will fall deeper into madness.
To understand it simply, it is the exchange of will for physique.
Among the eight basic physical data on the character card, physical fitness is the least noticeable, but it is actually the most important.
The higher the value of the constitution, the stronger the ability to resist external interference, including physical attacks, biochemical attacks such as diseases and drugs.
In addition, constitution also represents each person's "blood bar".
For example, people who have been suffering from diseases for many years will have significantly lower physical fitness values than normal people.
There are also people who were shot randomly in the body and died before the police and ambulance arrived.
Another person was shot once and was able to fight with gangsters in a cave for several hours, cosplaying with Mario in a chimney.
This is the difference in the "blood bar" of physical fitness.
When the body's constitution is cleared, it does not mean that the person will die at the first touch, but it means that the person is already dead.
Obviously, the straightforward effect of [Curse of Bloodborne] is to improve the investigator's plummeting physique and restore the "blood bar" to its normal state.
But correspondingly, every time you receive the "grace of blood", the connection between the dream and the ancient gods will become deeper, causing the will to weaken.
Although Qin Zhibo has an iron will and his recovery speed is not slow, most of the lost will is restored while sleeping.
If the dream is haunted by ancient gods, it means that the recovery speed of the will will be greatly reduced.
There is even the risk of having your will subverted.
In this way, it is equivalent to having your will permanently deducted.
Thinking of this, Qin Zhibo also realized how important this prop was.
If used properly, this thing can save your life at critical moments.
But the resurrection of the body may only be exchanged for spiritual "death".
By now, Qin Zhibo has also figured it out.
When he first came into contact with character cards in Shuyu's house, Qin Zhibo felt that strength and intelligence were the most important attributes.
Even appearance or luck are more important than will.
But both strength and intelligence can be improved by honing skills.
But will cannot be improved through any skill training, and one's own will can also be converted into other attributes.
Magic extractor + magic ring = will for magic power
Curse of Blood = Will for physique
If there are more ways to convert will in the future, then I will never be too dissatisfied with will.
Of course, even though this [Bloodborne Curse] is a curse, even though it carries the risk of entering a mental hospital, it is still a necessary tool for Qin Zhibo.
After all, saving a life, or even several lives, at a critical moment sounds exciting.
It's just that the price is really expensive. The price of 22,000 is the most expensive prop so far.
The last item this week is strictly a skill.
[Character Skills—Special Skills (Explosion)]
[This refers to your ability to set up manufacturing or safely dismantle explosives]
[Upgrading this skill will allow you to quickly manufacture, set up, or dismantle explosives in a shorter time and with limited resources]
[Art is explosion! Why tear it down?——A man surnamed Di who did not want to be named]
[Price: 3000 general skill proficiency]
Qin Zhibo looked at the skill introduction carefully. Strictly speaking, this is two skills in one.
One is to create explosives, the other is to dismantle explosives.
Men’s desire for explosions comes from the fireworks during the Chinese New Year.
Qin Zhibo has watched many spy movies, in which the protagonist of the spy finds some random tools in the cleaning room, combines them together at will, and then rubs out an improvised bomb.
Then the agent used the chaos caused by the bomb to escape, and the operation was quite cool.
It would be nice to have this ability in the real world.
And as far as Qin Zhibo knows, Dr. Ali has explosive skills, and the level cannot be too low.
At least he's a blasting genius.
The key to this skill is that it also comes with an explosive for demolition, which is quite appropriate.
After reading all six skills, Qin Zhibo looked at the proficiency points required to purchase them all, a total of 47977.
Compared with last week, the total selling price of props has increased again, which was 35,000, which also means that this week will be longer when the two largest main tasks cannot be completed.
“It’s been a long week.”
Thinking of this, Qin Zhibo couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
Time is too long, is it a good thing or a bad thing?
Although Qin Zhibo didn't know the answer to this question, he only knew one thing.
In this world, and in myself, there is always someone who is sick.
The next day, intensive care unit.
Maori Lan, who was lying on the hospital bed, slowly opened her eyes, and Conan and Maori Kogoro's anxious hearts relaxed.
"You finally woke up! Xiaolan!"
"The doctor said you are too tired, and he wants you not to be busy with your studies and clubs in the future."
Mouri Kogoro had only happiness on his face, as if he had forgotten the sudden critical situation yesterday.
Conan also looked at Mao Lilan with a smile, as if all the haze had been swept away as the rain outside the window passed and the sky cleared.
Qin Zhibo did not leave the hospital that night, he just stood by the window of the ward, silently watching the warm scenes.
"By the way, you were really weird last night, your eyelids kept moving."
"Are you dreaming about something?"
Mouri Kogoro turned his back to pour water and asked casually.
But Mao Lilan's eyes suddenly widened on the bed, and the fear and uneasiness in his eyes were not concealed at all.
But then, a smile appeared on Mao Lilan's face, "No, it's nothing."
"Maybe I dreamed about the history exam? But I have forgotten the details."
Although Kogoro Maori didn't see the strange expression on Maorilan's expression, Conan could see it clearly.
Conan frowned, thoughtfully.
Xiaolan, seems to have something on her mind
Although Conan could see this, he couldn't ask him face to face.
After all, if it is a bad nightmare, it is definitely better not to remind the person involved.
And with Mao Lilan's strong character, she would definitely not show her vulnerable side directly in front of others.
Never mind, maybe it's just a coincidence.
Qin Zhibo by the window was also quietly observing Mao Lilan.
Seeing Mao Lilan being helped to sit up with her head lowered and looking thoughtful, Qin Zhibo knew that things were not that simple.
The influence of the King in Yellow is subtle. At first, the person concerned will only treat those dreams containing the "King in Yellow" as ordinary dreams.
But when the person involved realizes that he is trapped in the yellow nightmare, it will be difficult to reverse the situation.
The problem now is how to get the King in Yellow to leave Maoriland.
Although Qin Zhibo knew that he might have some connection with the King in Yellow in some form.
But his relationship with the King in Yellow is more like that of a worker and a boss.
How can a worker influence the will of his boss?
What's more, the King in Yellow is an indescribable god, and the benefits promised to mortals have no appeal in front of the King in Yellow.
Apart from the King in Yellow's hobby of hunting Mi-Go, Qin Zhibo didn't know the other thoughts of the Nameless One.
How can Mao Lilan get rid of the nightmare?
Regarding this issue, Qin Zhibo thought about it all night, and now he only came up with the only solution.
Since the King in Yellow belongs to the magical side, only magic can defeat magic.
Maybe Koizumi Hongzi can do things like exorcism and exorcism.
Although this kind of thing seems to be a specialty of miko, Koizumi Anko once said that miko is just another name for witch, and the essence is the same.
In addition to asking Koizumi Hongzi for advice, Qin Zhibo also thought that in "The Secret of the Worm", he saw that the old seal can have a somewhat inhibitory effect on some mysterious existences, such as: Baron Samedi.
It just so happens that there is still an old seal hanging on the door of the office. Hanging it yourself is of little use, so I might as well give it a try.
Thinking of this, Qin Zhibo also stood up and said goodbye.
"Now that Xiaolan is awake, I will go back first."
"Don't forget to tell me when you return to Tokyo."
"I have a gift for Xiaolan"
