Detective Conan empathy

Chapter 22

Those silver scales are neatly arranged one by one, wrapping the huge body that looks like several stories high, casting it into an invulnerable copper wall and iron wall.Kudo Shinichi raised his head slowly with a dazed expression, and what he saw was the thick and powerful limbs, with a cold light shining on the sharp claws, and a pair of huge bat-like wings covered on his back, also a touch of silver.The young detective continued to look up along the long neck, until the neck was sore, only to see the ruffled head at the end of the neck, covered with tiny scales, and, even with the closed giant Sharp fangs that can also be seen around the mouth.

This is... the dragon—a creature with incomparable power in western legends, now appeared in front of him.

However, the pair of huge vertical pupils protected by three layers of transparent inner eyelids and an outer eyelid covered with fine scales are the dark green that Kudo Shinichi is familiar with.

"...Gin?"

The black-haired boy with one hand still on the dragon's foreleg raised his head, looked at the silver dragon looking down at him for a long time, and spoke tentatively.

In the next second, I saw the silver dragon lowering its eyelids in a somewhat decadent manner, but its scale-covered face subtly made the dead fish-eyed expression that often appeared on the face of a certain killer.

...well, sure enough.

Although it is not clear what is going on, it is certain that this giant dragon is Gin. After all, only that guy here can make a dead fish-eyed expression.

Kudo Shinichi suppressed the twitching corners of his mouth again, and stepped back a few steps to relax his highly tense neck: "How do you... feel now?"

The giant dragon opened its mouth and was just about to speak when the dragon's breath spewed out like a cold current, instantly freezing all the trees, mountains and rocks in front of it into ice blocks, and even lowering the surrounding temperature a bit.

Kudo Shin, who was almost affected, quickly dodged to the side. When he raised his head, he saw the dead fish eyes on the dragon's face became more obvious. Even he could feel the strong resentment emanating from the dragon.

"That..." The high school student detective felt a little funny and worried, "Why don't you get used to your current body first?"

The silver dragon silently turned his face to the side, expressing the words "I want Jingjing, don't ask me who Jingjing is" with his body.

Kudo Shinichi laughed, all the previous tension subsided, and instead began to study the legendary creature in front of him that only appeared in Western fantasy movies and novels with great interest.

dragon...

It actually appeared here so alive...

It's just amazing...

"Be careful, I can split you in half with one nail now."

There was a sound like thunder rolling over the top of the head, but Kudo Shinichi heard the content clearly, so he stopped the hand that was about to touch the dragon's claw, and raised his head in surprise: "You can talk?!"

"...I can talk, okay?" From the moment when he suddenly became a dragon to gradually adapting to this body and regaining his instincts, in just a few minutes, Qin Jiu controlled himself no longer. Breathing out the icy dragon's breath, he said in a disdainful tone: "The instinct of speaking is not lost, it's just that I didn't get used to it at first."

"I still think you are amazing, you have mastered this body so quickly..." Kudo Shinichi couldn't help admiring.

"Although I feel a little strange, but at present, I have a feeling that this form is the most suitable for me." Speaking of this, Qin Jiu couldn't help frowning, and the rows of scales above the longan moved a little: " It’s like this—limbs bent, body bent down, head on forelegs… As soon as I think about it, my body responds automatically.”

"You mean...you are actually a dragon?" Kudo Shinichi listened to Gin's words and watched the series of movements made by the giant dragon in front of him, his expression gradually became dignified.

"...in this game." The dark green vertical pupils rolled their eyes: "I'm still a person in reality?"

"Cough, cough cough -- no wonder you didn't behave like a normal person at all before." Kudo Shinichi covered up the oolong just now as if nothing happened, "You are several times stronger than ordinary people or even more Your strength, your seemingly inexhaustible physical strength, your visual and auditory senses that are more sensitive than ordinary people... I thought these were all your physical attributes, but it turns out...is it the power of a dragon?"

There are also fish scale-like patterns that once appeared on Gin's arm, and the snake that avoided Gin and attacked him... It seems that everything before has an explanation.

So, the one who walked with him to the present is actually a dragon?

A dragon with a passion to slay the dragon to save the princess?

Kudo Shinichi felt that he was a little confused about the direction of the game.

"I think the question that needs to be clarified now is whether I am now-whether I have anything to do with the dragon on the top of the mountain."

The silver dragon was lying on the flat ground in the mountains, its long tail beating on the ground from time to time, the dark green vertical pupils reminded people of the eyes of snakes, but the tone of voice did not match the aggressive appearance.

The object of discussion with him was a young man who was less than half the height of his forelimbs. Hearing this, the young man nodded slightly: "Indeed, after all, our purpose is to defeat the dragon and rescue the princess——in this way, we hope to find a way out of this place. Although Said that now our side has greatly increased the possibility of winning because of you, but in case you have any connection with that dragon..."

If that dragon is related to this guy...

"I don't remember that I have relatives with data. After all, this is just a game, brat." Gin Jiu glanced at the young detective who was more open-minded than him, "no matter how powerful it is, that dragon is just an NPC. At best, it’s just a bunch of data—what’s the matter with you? Why is your IQ dropped so badly?”

"Ahahaha, haven't you never seen a dragon before..." Kudo Shinichi scratched the back of his head with a smile.

Although he told himself that this was just a game, but in the face of this living dragon, Kudo Shinichi, who has always been calm and calm, couldn't help his curiosity—after all, this is what every boy yearns to see. Once upon a time, the dragon...

"Come back to your senses, detective," the dragon's dark green pupils became more and more speechless, and taunted the kid who looked at him with curious eyes from time to time, "If even the only If the IQ you are proud of is gone from you, then you will be too miserable."

"...I'm sorry I was wrong." Kudo Shinichi admitted with twitching corners of his mouth and pinched his nose.

By the way, this guy doesn't feel comfortable if he doesn't hate him for a day, right?

"Hurry up and get back to the state, so as not to delay me pushing the copy later," the silver dragon that was lying on the ground raised its head and looked towards the top of the mountain. Its long tail stretched out and rolled up the young detective by the waist, " Feel the epic glory, boy, you are the first human being allowed to sit on the back of a dragon."

It wasn't until he was rolled up by the dragon's tail and placed on Yinlong's back that Kudo Shinichi relaxed his tense nerves: "Although it's an experience I've never had before, it's true, but you really don't feel that what you said Some Secondary School?"

"Sit down, kid, I'm going to take off." Gin, who was getting more and more used to this body, waited for the young detective to sit down, and stretched out the huge wings that could cover the sky and the sun.

Although he has not yet figured out how he changed from a human to a dragon, the most urgent task is to pass the level as soon as possible, ah no, get out of this game—even if this holographic game of the brave adventure is more attractive, he does not want to be controlled Follow the plot in a mysterious situation.

The game should be played happily, and the dungeon should be brushed heartily!

For Kudo Shinichi, sitting on the back of a giant dragon and experiencing the feeling of flying is a novel experience that he has never had in his more than ten years of life.There are cool and hard scales under the body, the whistling wind is heard in the ear, and the clouds mixed with water vapor rush towards the face. When you lower your head, you can see the towering peaks, the green plains and the slowly flowing river. Here, the blushing sunset is slowly disappearing.

"It's...a beautiful view..."

Kudo Shinichi muttered uncontrollably, as if he finally had some understanding of how an otaku was so obsessed with games.

After all, such scenery cannot be seen everywhere.

"Cheer up kid, I'm about to land."

The castle-like building on the peak was within reach. The silver dragon flapped its wings, swooped down with its huge body, and landed firmly in front of the castle.

"Anyway...it's not my aesthetic." Qin Jiu narrowed his eyes and looked at the dark walls and roof for a while, feeling a little disgusted.

Kudo Shinichi, who finally got down from the dragon's back, couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief when his feet touched the ground. When he looked up and saw the huge castle that was more than enough for the gin at this time, he also had a toothache. The expression on his face: "Didn't you say that dragons like things that are shiny and shiny? Why is this a dark piece..."

Is this really where the dragon lives?

Or is that dragon really suffering from depression?

Just when one person and one dragon were hesitating whether to enter the castle, the air above the dark castle suddenly twisted, and a black vortex-like thing appeared.Immediately, the voice of a mechanical tablet sounded in the minds of the two——

"Congratulations to the player for entering the final level and clearing the mission - slaying the dragon and saving the princess."

One person and one dragon looked at each other, and it seemed that their guess was correct. This kind of approach, similar to the adventure of the brave, is indeed the way to pass the level.

"Heroic and tenacious brave man, congratulations on breaking through many dangers and reaching the end." The sudden voice made both of them look over, and a figure in black robe suddenly appeared out of nowhere in the vortex above the castle. A woman with long hair in a white dress was supported on her arm, and the two of them were frozen in mid-air in violation of the laws of physics.

Kudo Shinichi stared closely at the woman hugged by the man in black robe, she seemed to have lost consciousness, but that face...

"Lan!" The young detective's pupils shrank, his right hand clenched the long sword around his waist, and he roared at the man in black, "You bastard, let go of Lan!!"

"No, dear brave man," the black-robed man shook his head, his voice was hoarse and dry, and people couldn't help frowning, "You haven't completed the final mission, how can you get the princess so easily?"

"Damn guy, you are the dragon that kidnapped the princess!" Kudo Shinichi drew out his long sword, "Hurry up and fight with me!"

"Don't be so impulsive, Mister Brave, who said I'm that giant dragon?" The black-robed man said in a particularly leisurely tone, "Although I appreciate your high fighting spirit, it's a pity that I'm not that evil giant dragon." dragon."

"Then who are you? Why are you here?" Qin Jiu stared at the man with dark green vertical pupils, his eyes wary.

"I'm just the one who issued the mission, and I'm responsible for releasing the mission for the last level." The black robe said humanely, and then raised his voice: "Then come on, Mr. Brave, if you want to save the princess, you must defeat that devil's creation!"

"That giant dragon is in this castle, right?" Kudo Shinichi asked, staring closely at the man in black robe.

"No, Mr. Brave, that evil guy disguised himself as a human being after kidnapping the princess, and followed you, Mr. Brave, with ulterior motives..." Maybe seeing Kudo Shinichi's expression at the moment, Black There was more and more obvious malice in the robe man's voice——

"You're right, that giant dragon...is by your side right now, and it can't wait to turn into a prototype and show its fangs—as long as you defeat this sinful creation, your princess will be saved and if you are unlucky enough to lose, it is a pity that you will have to be the food of the dragon—"

"It's such a bloody plot," the thunderous voice rolled over, and the dragon's eyes were full of disdain, "I said that I would definitely not give me the identity of a dragon clan for nothing, but it turned out to be the final boss..."

"That's right, if you can defeat the brave man, then you can also clear the final game." The black-robed man's tone was full of malice: "Then you two, please enjoy the final game happily, if there is no score If there is a winner, the two will be kept in the game forever, including... our princess."

In the end, is this guy asking them to kill each other for his pleasure?He even threatened Lan...

"You... hateful bastard!" Kudo Shinichi gritted his teeth fiercely, his blue eyes were full of anger.
