Qin Zhibo took the stone found from Mi Ge's body and went to the deepest cave of the mine with Kudo Yusaku.
Since it was daytime, the bright skylight poured down like a waterfall from the hole "drilled" by Ishikawa Goemon, just shining on the stone arch.
Qin Zhibo raised the stones in his hands and gestured at the gap where the investigation point appeared in the stone arch.
Sure enough, the stone and the edge of the gap were perfectly aligned, and this stone was exactly part of the top of the stone arch.
Kudo Yusaku stood at the back with a hint of surprise in his tone.
"It seems your idea is correct..."
"But even if this door is the so-called 'Gate of Time and Space', how can you determine where it leads to?"
Qin Zhibo shook his head, "I'm not completely sure, I can only guess..."
"guess?"
"Yes, guess."
Qin Zhibo walked back and forth around the stone arch several times to confirm that there were no other investigation points above.
he judged.
"This door is made of countless scattered ores in an unknown way, but there are no extra traces or operating platforms on it..."
"From this, I judge that if this is really a time and space portal, then it should be a directional portal."
Qin Zhibo, under the leadership of Mr. Clock, had previously visited the obsidian statue underground in Ye Dao Shenpu City.
There will be some weird inscriptions on the statues built by Mi Go.
Although the Mi-Go race does not use words to communicate, many magics require blessing through words.
The strange thing about this door monster is that there is no prompt or magic blessing, and it seems that there is no need to operate at all.
This means that if this door is a door to time and space, its target location has already been determined.
"Since it is a definite teleportation location, it only involves where this location is..."
At this time, Qin Zhibo picked up the stone in his hand, looked at it carefully and said.
"Actually, I have some impressions about this stone."
"Because this stone is the ore I once found in another world, and it was accidentally teleported to this world because I gave it to Dr. Ali for research."
Kudo Yusaku, who was standing at the back, looked a little surprised, and he instantly figured out what Qin Zhibo was thinking.
"You mean, the ores from different worlds are like magnets, combining with each other to build space-time connection channels?"
Qin Zhibo nodded calmly, "Now it seems like this is the only way..."
After the words fell, he raised his hands and very solemnly inserted the stone into the only gap in the stone arch.
Come out! Gate of time and space!
Qin Zhibo took a deep breath and shouted these words in his heart.
After all, the existence of this door is related to whether he and Conan can return to the original world.
That familiar Zhibo Detective Agency...
Aso Minoru, Kuroba Kaito, Koizumi Anko...
Although this world is a parallel world to the original world, there are many differences after all.
However, when the stone fits in the gap as perfectly as an inlay, it really just fits.
There is no change at all inside and outside the stone arch, up and down.
It's like: Some people are anxious for a moment, but they are really just anxious for a moment...
"It seems...no response?"
Kudo Yusaku slowly put away his expectant expression. Instead, Qin Zhibo's eyes widened and he raised his hand to pat the stone twice more.
Snap, snap, snap.
He tried to use his home appliance repair skills to repair the stone arch, but the result was conceivable that Mi Go's black technology could not be as unreliable as human home appliances.
Qin Zhibo couldn't believe it. Even if his reasoning might be wrong, the investigation point should not be wrong.
The existence of the investigation point shows that this is not an ordinary stone or ordinary pit.
Are there any other activation conditions required?
Qin Zhibo looked around the cave and found nothing special.
But when he looked up at the dome of the first cave and saw the caves that Mi.G had dug out to ambush humans, he suddenly recalled a strange phenomenon that happened during the battle.
When humans were ambushed, he and Conan stood directly under the stone arch because they were closest to it.
But all the Mi-Gos above their heads deliberately avoided the area around the stone arch and fired their electric guns at other places.
Could this mean that the stone arch requires electricity to trigger?
electricity……
"Mr. Kudo, are there any unused diesel generators in the base camp?"
"have."
It's daybreak now, and the combat mission has been completed. There must be some generators that are not needed.
"Tell the soldiers to move two units quickly...and call my son over as well."
Kudo Yusaku took a deep look at Qin Zhibo, and he knew that this man had another idea.
And this idea is very likely to allow them to return to their original world.
…
Base camp, tent.
Conan, wearing clothes, was lying on his side on the camp bed, resting with his eyes closed.
Suddenly, the curtain at the door was lifted, and Conan under the mask suddenly opened his eyes, and his brain immediately became alert.
But when he stood up and took a look, the person who came in was not the "Conan" of this world, but a soldier.
"Kid, your father asked you to clean up and then go to the mining area."
Conan was startled for a moment.
Could it be that Qin Zhibo has found a way to go back?
In fact, Conan also speculated that the stone arch might be a gate to time and space.
Because when people see the "door", they will automatically think that it leads to a certain place.
There is also the influence of "Doraemon", many Japanese people will associate it with it.
It's just that the operability of this door is too low, there are no facilities such as operating consoles around, and coupled with its simple appearance, it is difficult to imagine that this door can be used to return to the original world.
Unless this door is really like Doraemon's "Random Door", you can go anywhere as long as you silently think about where you want to go?
No, this is too science fiction...
"Okay, I'll go right away."
Conan put away his thoughts, quickly packed up his bags and ran out of the camp.
The soldier just now waved to him at the starting point of the forest path, and the bronze badge on his chest shone brightly in the morning sun.
Conan: "..."
As a person from the original world, Conan knew that this badge was actually the pattern on the Miskatonic University emblem.
The University of Michigan next door probably didn't expect that their school's graphics would be infringed on in another world...
Conan trotted up to follow him and found that in addition to the soldiers who came to escort him there, there were four other soldiers carrying two diesel generators.
It's daybreak and the battle is over. What else do we need the generator for?
"Uncle, what are these for?" Conan asked, pointing to the generator.
The soldier smiled and explained to him, "This is called a diesel generator. As long as you add diesel to it, you can generate electricity, and you can use it with light bulbs, electrical appliances and so on."
Conan: You really treat me like a primary school student...
"Uncle, I mean, what are these generators used for in the mining area?"
"I don't know about this. It was the commander's order..."
Soon, the soldiers took Conan and the generator to the deepest part of the mine.
"Your Majesty Commander, do you have any other orders?"
"No more, please exit first... Also, from now on, don't let anyone enter the mine."
"yes!"
Kudo Yusaku sent the soldiers away and prohibited anyone from entering.
This makes Conan even more confident that Qin Zhibo has found a way to go back.
When he thought of this, Conan's little heart beat with excitement, and his eyes were full of anticipation.
The last time he had such an experience, Haihara Ai took out a capsule and told him that it was the trial version of APTX-4869's antidote.
Unfortunately, the trial version of the antidote only allowed him to be a real man for a day, and he shrank before he could express his true love to Xiaolan.
I hope there is no accident this time and that he can return to the real Xiaolan, even if he continues to be a shrunken little man.
He was once given the job of being a shrunken man next to the one he loved, but he didn't cherish it and only regretted it after he lost it.
The most painful thing in the world is this.
If God is willing to give him another chance, he is willing to return to that girl and guard her silently like the words of a sunflower.
If he had to add a time limit to this love, he hoped it would be... ten thousand years!
Bah bah bah!
Ten thousand years is unlucky. Doesn't this mean that he can never be with Xiaolan as Kudo Shinichi?
Conan put aside the random thoughts in his mind and quietly watched Qin Zhibo's operations.
Qin Zhibo's operation was also very simple. First, he connected the cables to both sides of the stone arch, and then turned the starting crank of the generator.
eng——
As the generator started up, a heavy and noisy sound filled the entire cave.
Qin Zhibo, Conan, and Kudo Yusaku looked closely at the stone arch, and unexpectedly discovered that there was a faint blue light in the gaps between the ores above.
Strips of blue light sources flickered between the cracks in the stone, spreading throughout the door, like winding rivers.
But that was it, nothing more happened.
But this at least proves that Qin Zhibo's conjecture is correct. This door does need to be powered on before it can be used.
Previously, Lupine III stole a piece of ore and developed a high-tech sphere that disabled surrounding electronic equipment. He wanted to use it to shield the palace's electronic security system and sneak into the ground to steal the Queen's crown.
The sphere, which is made with ore as its core, uses electricity to trigger and diffuse the properties of the ore itself.
This all shows that what really works in the ore mined by Mi Go is a conductive metal, and its effectiveness can only be exerted in the case of electric shock.
It's just that humans don't have the technology to refine this kind of ore.
Qin Zhibo observed for a while, and after confirming that nothing happened, he decided to continue to increase the power.
If one generator isn't enough, get two!
He turned off the started generator, and then connected the second generator in the same way.
After connecting it, Qin Zhibo and Kudo Yusaku started the generator at the same time.
eng——
eng——
This time it was the sound of two motors starting at the same time, a noisier duet.
The blue lines from before appeared again on the stone arch, but it was even bluer than the light before.
In this blue light that almost penetrated the stone, the light curtain of the outline of an arched door slowly opened.
"Success!"
Conan's pupils reflected this blue light, and the little face under the mask was full of excitement.
He didn't think about where this door of light would lead at the first time. He just let out a sound of surprise when his brain received this incredible and stunning picture.
Qin Zhibo and Kudo Yusaku also stood up slowly and stared blankly at the blue light door formed in the stone arch.
Their eyes looked into the blue light, trying hard to see some valuable information, but they couldn't see anything.
That is a blue light, which does not convey any images, except that there are slowly moving arcs at the very edge of the light gate, which are like ropes that firmly tie the light gate in the middle.
Qin Zhibo bent down, picked up an ordinary stone from the ground, and threw it towards the light door.
The stone drew a parabola in the air and disappeared the moment it came into contact with the blue light.
After a long time, Kudo Yusaku was the first to murmur.
"This is...the gate of time and space?"
Qin Zhibo rubbed his stinging eyes with his hands, "Probably..."
If his theory is correct and the ores from different worlds combine with each other to determine the time and space tunnel established between each other, then this tunnel should lead to the original world where he is.
But this is just a theory after all.
Theories are not the truth of the universe, and any artificially derived theory must prove its feasibility through practice.
So now it's time to prove feasibility.
Qin Zhibo shook his body and raised his legs to move towards the light door.
At this time, he slowly took off the golden mask used for disguise, and the blue light shone on his fearless face.
"Wait a moment!"
Kudo Yusaku quickly called him from behind.
"Don't you need to confirm again? What if this door leads to Mi Go's home planet?"
Through studying in the Ith Library, Kudo Yusaku learned that the Mi-Go has a home planet belonging to their race, called "Yugeth Star".
Therefore, Mi Go is also called the Yuggoth fungus.
Regarding Kudo Yusaku's worries, Qin Zhibo smiled and shook his head.
"There is no way to confirm, unless someone goes inside..."
Qin Zhibo also came to this conclusion after thinking for a long time.
First of all, the camera robot cannot be controlled near this door because the electrified ore has triggered its signal-shielding characteristic.
Besides, who can be sure about the signal connections between parallel worlds?
Secondly, if non-intelligent creatures enter behind this door, no matter what happens, they will not be able to send back any useful information.
Because judging from the stone thrown just now, the characteristic of this door is to instantly teleport the entire individual who comes into contact with the light door.
In other words, there is no test method of holding a dog with a rope and then pulling the dog back from the light door.
One person must enter inside.
As the saying goes, if I don’t go to hell, who will?
Qin Zhibo stood less than half a meter away from the light door, looking back at Conan behind him with a smile on his face.
"Wait here for a moment, I'll be right back..."
It was another familiar words, but it shocked Conan's heart.
Qin Zhibo plans to enter the Light Gate alone, and the danger involved is self-evident.
"no!"
"If you want to leave, let's go together!"
Conan couldn't let Qin Zhibo take risks alone, so he ran to Qin Zhibo anxiously.
As Conan's little hand touched Qin Zhibo's clothes, the two figures disappeared into the light door at the same time.
Thanks to the Holy Spirit of Diyin for the reward!
