Chapter 848: The supernatural incident on the campus of Didan High School
The next day, Qin Zhibo woke up from his bed on the floor.
Due to the giant height of 2.3 meters, sleeping on the bed was uncomfortable, so I simply slept on the floor last night.
When he woke up in the morning, Qin Zhibo rubbed his messy hair, suddenly widened his eyes and looked at his legs.
"back to normal......"
He groped his thighs that had returned to normal, as if the disgusting figure he had last night was just a dream.
But when I open the item bar, [Golden Chelsea] still exists, proving that last night was not a dream.
Looking back on two fishing trips, the first time I used a rubber resin dummy to catch a shoggoth.
The second time, I used broken leather shoes as bait and caught a pair of gold Chelsea.
The plasticity of rubber resin is similar to Shoggoth, and leather shoes are similar to Golden Chelsea. They are both shoes.
If these two fishing experiences hold true, then the fishing function is not completely uncontrollable, and the shape of the fishing objects is similar to the shape of the bait.
This is called "If you sow melons, you will reap melons; if you sow beans, you will reap beans."
Once you understand this, you will be considered experienced in fishing in the future.
First of all, you must not release any creatures, because the result of fishing with creatures will most likely be creatures, such as catching a Mi-Go with a lobster.
It is best to use items that are relatively common in life, so that items caught while fishing will not cause any ambiguity or unknown consequences.
This time I used shoes to fish for shoes, which was a very successful fishing.
Looking at the [Gift of the Golden Tree] and [Golden Chelsea] in the item bar, Qin Zhibo suddenly had an idea in his mind.
If you use your own belongings to fish next time, will you catch the same items with the "gold" prefix?
You can use these props to form a "golden shirt", which will increase your body's attributes tenfold and make you explode with swords, fire, and swords.
Just thinking about it makes me feel very interesting.
It's just like playing an RPG online game. Powerful character equipment often requires a long time to accumulate synthetic materials.
But fortunately, time is like water in the ocean, you have plenty of it.
In this world, the person who lacks the most time is yourself.
...
After cleaning up the floor on the third floor, Qin Zhibo went to the Sunday convenience store opposite to buy breakfast as usual.
I bought three sandwiches, two original rice balls, bread, instant noodles, bento, etc., plus some junk food as food reserves for today and tomorrow.
When checking out, Qin Zhibo was taking out money to pay the bill, but he looked at the convenience store owner at the front desk who was hesitant to speak.
"Mr. Tsukayama, what can I do for you?"
Tsukayama looked at Qin Zhibo, his lips moved slightly, but decided not to say anything, and waved his hands with a smile.
"Haha...it's nothing. I just saw that Mr. Qin, you seem to eat these fast food often. Will it be bad for your health over time?"
Qin Zhibo smiled slightly, took out the money, and replied: "Thank you for your concern, but in fact I still often improve the food."
Qin Zhibo understood that Tsukayama would have such thoughts, but that was because Tsukayama was a native of this world and his way of viewing time was different from his own.
For example, I don't like to go to a convenience store every day. I will buy at least two days' worth of fast food at a time. At other times, I will occasionally go out to attend some dinners, such as last night's "Werewolf".
But in Tsukayama's eyes, Qin Zhibo seemed to buy a lot of fast food every day, as if he was eating fast food every day.
To put it simply, Qin Zhibo also eats normally, but only during the part of the time that Zhongshan cannot sense.
"By the way, I think you have installed a lot of surveillance here?"
Qin Zhibo raised his head and looked at the monitor above the cashier. He had discovered it when he was visiting the store just now. There were four installed in four corners.
What makes the boss, who has always been at ease, install four cameras? Is it a distortion of human nature or a loss of morals?
Tsukayama was startled for a moment and explained: "The rice cakes are not in peace recently, so it's better to be a little more cautious..."
"Oh, if you need anything, you can go to the other side to consult me."
In fact, Qin Zhibo still sympathizes with the owner of this convenience store. Opening a store in Mihua itself is an extremely risky move.
Especially since Mihua cannot operate at night, it already makes less money than 24H convenience stores in other areas.
After paying the bill, Tsukayama sighed lonelyly as he watched the famous detective leave.
Since the last time I fired off the store employee Aya Nanagawa and asked her to suspend her duties for self-reflection, although the loss of goods in the store disappeared immediately, after she came back, whenever she was on duty, the goods in the convenience store began to inexplicably decrease again.
Seeing the mismatch between the turnover and the reduced products every day, as the boss, he was heartbroken, so he could only spend huge sums of money to install surveillance cameras to find out the mystery of the missing products.
But in the end, no thief was found, and the person who stole the goods could only be Nanagawa Aya.
I saw a famous detective coming to buy something today. He originally wanted to ask if he could help investigate the mystery of the missing product.
He had had this idea several times before.
But considering that Nanagawa Aya is a working high school student, once it is found out that she really stole the goods, it will not be a trivial matter.
In order not to affect her future and to end everything decently, Tsukayama decided to endure it a little longer to see if he could get this misguided young man to change his mind.
...
Back at the office, Qin Zhibo was about to turn on the TV and watch the morning news when there was a knock on the door.
Dude, dunk, dunk.
Qin Zhibo wondered, although his sense of time was not very good, he couldn't tell the business hours clearly, right?
"Our office's business hours are 9 o'clock. Please come back at 9 o'clock."
Although you can squeeze out time for handling general commissions, now that you are a famous detective after all, you have to act like a famous detective, and you must not do business before business hours. This is the basic principle of life.
Unless...you have to pay more~
However, a familiar voice came from the door, "Good morning, Mr. Qin, I am Mao Lilan. I hope I didn't disturb you..."
Qin Zhibo, who was lying comfortably on the boss's chair, quickly stood up and saw an eye-catching horn reflected on the frosted glass at the door.
I have no eyes but no horns!
Qin Zhibo hurriedly opened the door and found that the visitor was not only Mao Lilan, but also Conan, a perennial follower. The two of them were either carrying or carrying schoolbags, as if they were going to school.
Only then did Qin Zhibo understand that the winter vacation was over today and all students had started school together.
Although the timeline has jumped a bit, I am used to this kind of life.
...
Inviting the Horned Girl and the God of Death into the office, Mao Lilan told her the purpose of coming here.
It turned out that Mao Lilan had a nightmare when she went to bed last night.
The content of the dream was that as a student on duty, I patrolled the corridors of Didan High School and visited the blind spots, fulfilling my duties and responsibilities.
Suddenly, I felt a cold feeling on my back. I slowly looked back and saw a translucent Didan High School student standing on the stairs.
Just as he was opening his mouth wide in surprise, the ghost suddenly swooped down the stairs.
Swish——
Then I woke up screaming in fear...
After waking up from the dream, Mao Lilan remembered that she would be a student on duty next week and had to go to school early.
And the most important thing is that a series of supernatural events have indeed been popular in Didan High School recently, and many students have encountered unexplainable supernatural phenomena.
These supernatural phenomena usually occur in the morning, when students on duty arrive at school.
Mao Lilan originally wanted her father, a famous detective, to take action to find out the truth about these supernatural events so that she could have a peaceful next week.
However, Mouri Kogoro insisted that it was a prank by a certain student or a natural phenomenon. As a famous detective, there was no need for him to take action. He even said that if he encountered a ghost, he would use karate to deal with it.
Come on! How can karate deal with ghosts?
So, at Conan's suggestion, Mao Lilan came to find Qin Zhibo.
After listening to Mao Lilan's words, Qin Zhibo's face was shocked at first, and then he fell into deep thinking.
The last time I entered Didan High School late at night to defuse bombs, I seemed to have seen a blue shadow, which was very similar to the "ghost" described by Mao Lilan.
But as a person who masters psychic skills, Qin Zhibo knows that it is slightly different from ordinary "ghosts".
Ghosts will not show their form in such a specific way for no reason, because it requires a lot of energy to maintain.
For example, the burned female ghost in the ghost apartment embodies her face in order to avenge her enemies.
The ghosts obtained through necromancy can only last for a period of time and disappear after a while.
But that "ghost" seems to be just wandering around the school without any real purpose, which is unusual.
If the content of Mao Lilan's dream and the supernatural events at Didan High School are related to that thing, it would be even more suspicious, indicating that this "ghost" has become a continuous state.
"When did the supernatural events you mentioned begin? Can you tell me specifically what supernatural phenomena they are?"
Hearing Qin Zhibo's words, Mao Lilan's face was happy, because it meant that he had decided to help.
Conan, who was sitting next to him, also smiled heartily, just as he expected.
Unlike the staunch atheist warrior Mouri Kogoro, Qin Zhibo is good at exploring mystical things, which Conan has long known.
It is precisely because of this that Conan encouraged Mao Lilan to find Qin Zhibo for help.
Mao Lilan thought for a moment and said mysteriously: "I heard that a student came to school early in the morning two years ago and died unexpectedly. Everyone said that it was the ghost of this student who was causing trouble~"
"That means that the supernatural events started two years ago?" Qin Zhibo asked seriously.
"I'm not sure about this. After all, I'm quite afraid of those things, so..." Mao Lilan changed the subject, "But Yuanzi knows a lot of supernatural events in school. You can call her after school today."
Hearing Mao Lilan's suggestion, Conan's eyelids drooped and he sighed inwardly: She is worthy of being the "Queen of Gossip"...
As Maorilan's childhood sweethearts, Conan and Suzuki Sonoko are naturally also young, and they have seen through her character early on. She likes to join in the fun and gossip. She is a typical fun-loving person, but she is sincere to her friends.
"I understand. Let's meet you after school in the afternoon."
After sending Mao Lilan and Conan out of the door, Qin Zhibo went back to the drawer to find a copy of "The Secret of the Worm" and re-read the ghost chapter inside.
...
In the blink of an eye, a few hours passed.
Japanese high school students, except for their senior year who are about to take college entrance examinations, usually finish school around 3:30 in the afternoon. After school, they can participate in various school club activities.
Of course, joining a club is not a hard and fast rule. Not only can you join a club with the largest number of people, but it is also the favorite "go home" for those who fear society, that is, go home directly.
Or stay in school to engage in some sports, literary and artistic activities, and enjoy a once-in-a-lifetime youthful life.
At 3:30 in the afternoon, Qin Zhibo appeared at the school gate on time, waiting for some students in the "Going Home Department" to leave first.
After waiting for a while, Mao Lilan and Yuanzi came out wearing dark blue school uniforms.
The three of them said hello and stood at the school gate to continue waiting for Conan.
The elementary school dismissal time is 3 o'clock, which is half an hour earlier. However, in order to protect the three curious little ones, Conan sent those people to separate intersections before running over in a hurry.
"It's been a long time! Sister Xiaolan! Uncle Qin! Sister Yuanzi!"
Conan's childish voice is so sweet. After all, this is the campus where he once stayed. All his good friends and classmates are here, so the disguise is stronger.
In order to make Conan more like Conan, Qin Zhibo stroked Conan's head with a doting gesture, "As long as I'm waiting for you, it's never too late~"
Conan: "..." Why do you feel that this sentence has a strong purpose?
...
After strict visitor registration, Qin Zhibo and Conan entered the school gate of Didan High School.
This is not Qin Zhibo's first time here, strictly speaking it is his third time, so he is no stranger to it.
Conan became even more familiar with it. Looking at the campus men and women walking on the playground, he felt quite emotional.
Well, it's still the same, no change... Anyway, I also studied here for one year.
When they came to the shoe cabinet at the entrance of the teaching building, although Qin Zhibo and Conan were visitors, they still needed to change their shoes. There were special slippers for visitors at the shoe cabinet.
As for the shoe cabinet, Conan and Mao Lilan share one, and Qin Zhibo and Yuanzi use one.
When changing shoes, two female students came towards me. They were a little surprised when they saw Qin Zhibo.
"Xiaolan, why did you bring an uncle to school?"
Didan High School is a semi-closed school, and students are a little surprised when they see outsiders entering the school.
Mao Lilan quickly explained, "This is the famous detective Mr. Qin Zhibo. I invited him to investigate the recent supernatural incident on campus."
When they heard the name detective, the two female students looked a little surprised and looked up and down.
The straight figure supports the deep and restrained brown trench coat, the mixed-race face reveals a mature temperament, and the eyes are gentle but wise.
Although as a Mihua person, I often see the name "Qin Zhibo" in newspapers, but because Lao Qin is relatively low-key and rarely appears on TV, not many people have seen his true appearance.
"So Detective Qin is a mixed race? It's really unexpected~"
"When Mr. Qin comes to our school, he must solve the supernatural incident!"
Qin Zhibo looked at the two female students with a modest smile on his face, "I will try my best."
"By the way! Can you sign your name for us?"
"Yes~"
Looking at these two happy female students, Conan drooped his eyelids with dissatisfaction in his eyes.
Tashiro and Hidaka...two talkative women.
There was obviously a famous high school detective right in front of you, but you didn't know how to cherish it. You never asked for an autograph, and you made all kinds of sarcastic remarks, saying that I like to show off and that I'm an idiot for reasoning...
At this time, I am pretending to like detectives. Who would believe it?
In fact, what Conan didn't know was that it wasn't that Kudo Shinichi wasn't good enough, but that he was "a famous beauty" and thought he couldn't compete with Mao Lilan, so he changed his straight ball strategy to a changing ball.
Just like a little boy who likes girls and always uses all kinds of naughtiness to attract girls' attention, it's the same reason.
