Although the channeling conditions this time are relatively good, under normal circumstances, the probability of successful channeling is only around 50%.
Qin Zhibo looked at the system prompts and recalled the innocent look of the stationery store owner.
Is the cinnabar he sells really different from ordinary cinnabar?
Cinnabar that can increase the probability of successful spell casting...
If this is the case, you should consider buying more spares before going back.
Qin Zhibo silently wrote it down in his mind, and then started channeling.
With the systematic advance prediction, the channeling process this time was also a lot more stable.
I saw Qin Zhibo making the secret with one hand, and after waiting for a few seconds, the cinnabar pattern on the yellow paper charm appeared with a light blue light.
The light gradually rises and expands until it condenses into a "male apiao".
Through the square-framed glasses on the bridge of his nose, he can vaguely tell that he looks like Ingalls.
"Who are you……"
Qin Zhibo subconsciously opened his mouth to ask a question, but suddenly remembered that his level of psychic skills was not high enough, and the summoned soul could not speak.
If you want to have a conversation, you must use some tools.
Qin Zhibo took out his laptop from the system toolbar and showed the keyboard to Ingalls' soul.
"I'm going to ask you some questions now. When you answer them, just spell them out to me according to the letters above..."
Ingalls' soul nodded.
"Do you know the person who killed you?"
Ingalls' soul continued to nod.
"Then spell out the murderer's name..."
Qin Zhibo did not directly ask the murderer's name because that might mislead Ingalls' soul.
However, the result was as expected. When Qin Zhibo spelled out the murderer's name under the command of Ingalls, the result was still the same as the reasoning of Conan and Detective White Horse.
"Sera Elena..."
At least in what Ingalls knew before he died, he believed that the person who killed him was Sera Elena.
However, Qin Zhibo knew that it was Belmod who used the name "Sera Elena" to commit crimes.
Because Sera Elena is no longer in this world...
"Second question, have the research results been released on when Gehros will return?"
Ingalls' soul nodded again.
Qin Zhibo continued to ask: "Then please tell me the time..."
This time, Qin Zhibo first showed Ingalls the current time so that Ingalls could have an idea of the current time.
"How long until now?"
Qin Zhibo's fingers slid over the number keys, and when he reached the second number, Ingalls' soul reacted.
2……
2What?
More than 20 days left?
Qin Zhibo remembered that Ingalls said that there was at most one month left, so this should mean that there are still more than 20 days.
Although it doesn't take long, it is at least enough preparation.
On the second number, when Qin Zhibo's finger slid over the number 6, Ingalls' soul stopped.
26 days?
With less than a month left, it is already relatively abundant.
However, this also means that within a month, we must pay attention to the trends of both the zoo organization and the black organization.
Because their plans are all related to the return of Gherroth...
While Qin Zhibo was thinking, Ingalls's soul started to move on its own.
He floated down and took the initiative to raise his hand and move it slowly on the keyboard.
Although the soul has no entity and cannot actually type on the keyboard, Qin Zhibo can clearly see where his fingers click.
With every click, Qin Zhibo's heart trembled violently.
h—o—u—r—s……
26 hours……
26 hours!
Qin Zhibo's pupils shrank suddenly and he quickly asked the soul who turned to Ingalls one more time.
"are you sure?"
"Are you sure the unit is hour, not day?"
Ingalls' soul nodded again.
Now, Qin Zhibo could no longer remain calm.
This feeling is like when you have a terminal illness and ask the doctor how long you have left, but the unethical doctor starts counting down...
The key is that the day before yesterday, it was said that there would be at most one month left, but today, there are only 26 hours left.
This... seems to be correct.
It’s only been a day and a half since the night before yesterday, plus 26 hours, it’s less than three days.
It's really not even a month...
But the gap between before and after is too big!
In 26 hours, will the return of the stars begin?
The return of Ghroth symbolizes the official beginning of the return of the stars.
Under the gravitational influence of Gheros, the nine planets in the solar system will gradually change their orbits until they are connected in a series.
By then, both the Black Pharaoh and Cthulhu will be reincarnated and resurrected...
Qin Zhibo looked at the time, which was tomorrow's noon.
Let’s leave aside the reincarnation of the Black Pharaoh for now, because his reincarnation requires conditions.
But judging from the content of the prophecy, Cthulhu’s glorious resurrection only requires the return of the stars.
If humans had the ability, like in science fiction disaster movies where many asteroids are about to hit the earth, they might send out a spacecraft to carry out a nuclear explosion mission.
But in fact, this "Gheros" is a giant planet that can affect the orbits of planets such as Neptune, Uranus, and Jupiter.
It is impossible for a nuclear bomb to work on a planet of this magnitude.
Even if there is a one in 10,000 chance that it may change its orbit approaching the solar system, there are still 26 hours left and it is completely too late.
Therefore, Ghroth's return is inevitable.
If Cthulhu really resurrects when G'roth causes the stars to return to their correct positions, there is absolutely no way to stop it.
Or should we wait for Cthulhu to revive and use human technology to fight him?
Human technology...
Qin Zhibo thought of some grand images, such as nuclear bombs detonating on the sea, and wildly twitching green octopus tentacles being blown to pieces in a blooming mushroom cloud.
The strongest combined fleet of mankind watched this situation from a distance on the sea and shouted, "This is the power of mankind, the octopus monster!"
But this was just a picture in his imagination.
No one can be sure what kind of thermal weapons the Old Ones would use against humans.
Unless it's Ren Karasuma...
If you don’t need to do anything special to revive Cthulhu, you just need to wait for the time for the stars to return to their correct positions. What is the purpose of Karasuma Renye’s long-term career using the black organization?
Is it to prepare in advance for the new era that will come after Cthulhu dominates the earth?
…
London.
Conan, Sera Masumi, Mouri and his daughter, and Dr. Agasa, the five of them were sitting around a round table outside a roadside soft drink shop.
According to yesterday's agreement, several people will officially start their London tour today.
But when this time came, everyone lost their mood again.
Because according to Hades' prediction, today is the time for him to cause bloodshed somewhere in London.
"Sure enough, I'm still worried..."
Sera stirred the liquid in the drink cup with a straw, while looking up at the sky.
"That damn Hades, if only I could catch him with my own hands."
Mouri Kogoro glanced at the tomboy and murmured: "Didn't the Scotland Yard police agree to deploy police forces in various buildings and locations mentioned in the code?"
"We tourists from abroad have no need to interfere with the police's actions..."
As a former policeman, Mouri Kogoro has always believed in the power of the police. Detectives are just a role to help the police.
Mao Lilan's head hung slightly and she did not speak, but she also looked worried.
Conan, who was sitting next to him, frowned and held his chin, thinking secretly in his mind.
In his opinion, if Hades decided to send out a coded message to provoke the police, it meant that the coded message contained a certain exact location.
Otherwise, Hades proposed six locations in one go just to distract the London police.
And this further proves that he will not choose to cause an attack in any of these six locations.
His real goal is somewhere else...
Where is it?
Conan was thinking about it when Sera Masumi, who was sitting opposite, suddenly stared at him with interest and asked: "Kid, it seems that you are also thinking about the case..."
"Have you thought of any clues?"
Conan's shoulders trembled in fright at the sudden sound, and he quickly looked at Sera Masumi opposite, who was smiling at him with two small tiger teeth and narrowed eyes.
What's so funny about this guy?
"Not at all~" Conan scratched his head cutely.
"When Brother Shinichi said goodbye to me yesterday, he said that we might not have completely solved the code yet."
"Because there is only one a in the spelling of the keyword saturn, but the word 'Big Ben' representing a appears twice in the code text..."
"There must be other reasons?"
Kudo Shinichi?
Sera's face was shocked, and she remembered that when her mother Mary was talking to her father's old friend on the phone yesterday evening, Kudo Shinichi was beside her.
It seems like Conan doesn’t know about this either, right?
At this time, Mao Lilan suddenly said in shock: "Since Xinyi feels suspicious, let's ask Xinyi again?"
"Maybe after one night, Shinichi will be able to figure out the true meaning of the code!"
When Shiliang heard this, he nodded in agreement, "Yes! Yes!"
Mao Lilan immediately took out the phone from his bag.
When Conan saw this, he suddenly became anxious.
Now Shinichi's phone number is in the hands of that unreliable guy!
But just as he was about to raise his hand to dissuade Mao Lilan, when he thought about it, he thought of something else.
If the person who gave the code clue to Mao Lilan and others in the restaurant yesterday was Michael, then Kuroba Kaito should be with Michael at this time.
If you call him, maybe Michael can come up with some key clues again.
This man who he once mistakenly considered as his "brother-in-law" has a reasoning ability that should not be underestimated.
Even if you can't come up with clues, it can still help you test the other party's current movements.
But the premise is that the boy named Kuroba Kaito won't talk nonsense on the phone...
…
Top floor of London City Hall.
Kuroba Kaito is borrowing existing tools in the background to carefully create the magic props he will use this afternoon.
Although the usual magic props are made by Terai Kōnosuke, his own hands-on ability is also good.
And this afternoon, the magic he will perform is exactly one of the most primitive desires of human beings - teleportation.
The so-called teleportation means quickly moving from one place to another.
Of course, teleportation in magic performances is essentially a way to hide the magician's rapid movement, and only show the audience the positional relationship before and after the movement.
This is also the inspiration that Kuroba Kaito got when he followed Conan and Hakuba to decipher the code yesterday.
If you omit all the intermediate reasoning process and only introduce the starting point and conclusion to the other party, you can often achieve amazing results...
Based on this theory, Kuroba Kaito designed a teleportation performance in just half an hour.
However, when making magic props, he still couldn't help but feel a little regretful.
There is actually a simpler way to achieve teleportation performance.
That is, by setting up two identical magicians at the starting point and the end point, you can directly achieve the kind of performance effect that shocks the entire audience.
Preferably twins...
And he happened to look exactly the same as Kudo Shinichi, who was in London at this moment, and even had the same voice.
Although that guy turned into Conan for some unknown reason, it seemed that he had the ability to freely control his size so that he could fly to London.
If you use the "twin" method, you can break the limitations of the stage, "teleport" directly to the back of the performance hall in one breath, and complete this imaginative performance.
Buzz——
At this moment, the sound of a mobile phone vibrating suddenly came from Kuroba Kaito's pocket.
He took out his red flip phone and immediately realized that someone had called "Kudo Shinichi".
Although he felt it was a bit troublesome, he was still professional and answered the phone.
"Moses Moses..."
"Shinichi, I want to ask you, have you completely solved the code now?"
"ah?"
Kuroba Kaito was stunned, how could he decipher that code?
At this time, Conan on the other side of the phone asked for the call from Mao Lilan and asked in a childlike voice: "Brother Shinichi, if you can't think of it, you can ask your colleagues around you!"
"Maybe he knows?"
Kuroba Kaito looked around and knew that there was something in this kid's words, and he should be talking about Qin Zhibo beside him.
But Qin Zhibo is not here now, so he can only say perfunctorily: "I know, if there are clues, I will open you again..."
After saying that, he hung up the phone and prepared to continue making his own magic props.
But just when he picked up the saw, the movement in his hand suddenly stopped again.
After thinking for a few seconds, he picked up his white flip phone and called Qin Zhibo.
At this time, Qin Zhibo was taking the bus back to London.
When he saw Kuroba Kaito's call, his heart felt heavy.
"Kaito, I'm on my way back to London."
"I have one thing..."
"No, I'd better say it first."
"There are only 24 hours left before Gehroth's return..."
