The Grammatical Investigator in Conan

This is a familiar yet unfamiliar place.

In the square on the stone ground, there are five stone gates, with a milky white light curtain in the middle.

This is the place where the Japanese wavers entered the game at the original press conference and were gathered together and intimidated by Noah's Ark.

At the same time, this is also where the tentacles of "Green Signal" broke through the data barrier in the game and captured Hiroki Sawada.

The five stone gates respectively represent the five games built into "Cocoon", corresponding to five game scenes with completely different era backgrounds and mission plots.

Now that time has passed, only Qin Zhibo can experience this cross-era game.

However, this game itself has a single-player mode, and playing it alone will not affect the flow of the entire game.

Qin Zhibo looked around and chose the original game - Victorian London. He planned to practice it first and then talk about it after he got the hang of it.

Qin Zhibo came to the stone gate of London in the Victorian era and stepped calmly into the light curtain.

In less than a second, the two game scenes are seamlessly connected.

On the other side of the light curtain, Qin Zhibo found himself on the streets of London. On both sides of the road were Victorian gas street lamps, emitting a dim light in the thick fog-filled air.

Take a breath and you can smell the coal.

Qin Zhibo stretched his body, but it still felt familiar, and he could hardly feel the difference from reality.

At this moment, a rumble sounded in the sky above his head.

"Mr. Qin, I have turned on the 'God Mode', you can try it..."

This is Shunsuke Suzuki's voice.

Qin Zhibo raised his head and made an "OK" gesture toward the sky, then raised his hand to gather strength and punched the wall next to him.

The moment the fist hit the wall, several cracks appeared on the solid wall, and then a depression the size of a pot lid appeared on the wall.

Judging from this animation effect, the physics engine that breaks the original map model with force has not yet been fully developed.

But at least it proves that this "God Mode" is not just about enhancing character data.

"One punch can make a hole in the wall, so that's okay..."

It's almost the level of Mao Lilan in reality.

Suddenly, a shrill scream sounded in the quiet street.

"ah--!"

It's still the familiar opening plot, where Jack the Ripper is committing murder.

Qin Zhibo followed the sound and ran towards the target location, but as soon as he took two steps to run, he felt something was wrong.

He only ran two steps, but he ran 10 meters away, with a speed comparable to that of Usain Bolt.

And this was before he started running at full speed.

Agility is also pretty good, almost equivalent to Kaitou Kidd?

Qin Zhibo didn't have a very accurate judgment on agility, but the most agile human being he had seen so far was Kaitou Kidd.

After finding out the current performance of his body, Qin Zhibo slowed down and quietly came to the alley.

On the street at the entrance of the alley, Jack the Ripper was squatting on the ground, searching the body of a woman.

Although the two were only less than 10 meters apart, as long as Qin Zhibo did not run over and disturb him, Jack the Ripper could only lie on the ground and the plot could not proceed.

Last week, Qin Zhibo took advantage of this characteristic and used the method of "GTA 5" and "Red Dead Redemption 2" to attract countless angry London people and step on Jack the Ripper's body.

This week, since the "God Mode" is turned on, Qin Zhibo naturally wants to experience the feeling of being a "God".

"Hey!"

Qin Zhibo stood in the alley and shouted, and Jack the Ripper, who was squatting on the ground, immediately turned around in alarm.

Under the top hat is a thin and ugly face, with a pair of hanging eyes emitting a hateful blue light.

Jack the Ripper just stared and immediately ran away in the other direction of the street.

Qin Zhibo didn't say anything, he kicked the ground with his right foot, and the speed of his whole body exploded to the extreme in an instant, without even the need for acceleration.

At this speed, Jack the Ripper in front clearly had the first mover advantage, but the distance between the two sides was shortened to within 5 meters in an instant.

And this is when Jack the Ripper is the fastest NPC in this game.

This kind of character card setting can ensure that Jack the Ripper will never be caught up by players at the beginning.

Otherwise, what's the point of playing?

But when Jack the Ripper glanced back, he found that Qin Zhibo's figure was like a ghost, unable to get away at all, and getting closer and closer.

"Hi~"

As Qin Zhibo chased after him, he greeted Jack the Ripper in front of him with a relaxed and happy expression.

Jack the Ripper: "( # ゜ロ゜)"

Jack the Ripper's face was full of "shock". It was obvious that this player's physical fitness had far exceeded his imagination.

But Jack the Ripper is the final boss after all, and he still has special skills.

I saw him running to a building. Without saying a word, he stepped on the protruding window sill on the wall, jumped a few steps left and right, and then jumped to the roof of the three-story building.

Qin Zhibo was also a little surprised when he saw this scene.

It's you! Jackie Chan!

The gray-black cloak unfolded on the roof illuminated by the moonlight. Jack the Ripper smiled triumphantly at Qin Zhibo below, with standard villain-style sharp teeth reflecting in his mouth.

Can't you come up now?

However, Qin Zhibo also smiled back.

Feitian hanging, start!

Qin Zhibo put his right foot on the ground, spread his arms like a white crane with its wings, and soared into the air.

This one seems to have BGM coming from unknown time and space.

The me you see, the me you see; what color is it, sad or happy...

In just one second, Qin Zhibo flew to the top of Jack the Ripper's head. With his arms spread out against the moonlight, he calmly landed on the building like a master.

"you……"

Jack the Ripper gritted his teeth and made a sound of hatred in his dry throat.

Seeing that he could not escape the pursuit, Jack the Ripper immediately pulled out two daggers from his waist. The daggers were still stained with scarlet blood, and they flashed in front of Qin Zhibo in an instant.

Seeing this scene, Shunsuke Suzuki and others who were watching the game in real time outside shouted that something was wrong.

"No, he chased too closely and triggered Jack the Ripper's counterattack mechanism!"

"What can we do? We haven't had time to design 'infinite blood volume' yet!"

The staff are all a little nervous. Although the game content has been replaced with a green version, the game will end if you are injured or killed.

But in the shadow of the previous conference, no one dared to watch players die in the game in a short period of time.

But just when everyone thought Qin Zhibo was bound to die, Qin Zhibo suddenly took out a big sword from behind his butt.

The large sword with a wide blade shone with a cold light. In comparison, Jack the Ripper's dagger was no different than a toy.

Qin Zhibo held the sword in both hands, swung it with all his strength, and slashed at Jack the Ripper's body.

In an instant, a cold light accurately drew a diagonal line, splitting Jack the Ripper's body into two.

"ah--!"

Jack the Ripper's upper body let out a final scream, then turned into countless blue light spots and disappeared into the air.

Jack the Ripper, dead?

If Jack the Ripper could send a death message, he would definitely say - I got up and was killed by a sword, what is there to say?

Qin Zhibo looked at Jack the Ripper who had disappeared and realized that his [Oath Keeper Sword] could even kill NPCs in the game.

But when he swung his sword again to chop down the building he was standing on, the blow was unable to produce any effect.

Qin Zhibo thought for a while and realized that the [Oath Keeping Sword] is the embodiment of willpower, so it can appear anywhere by relying on its own will, including games and dreams.

However, the essence of [Oath Keeping Sword]'s ability is to kill evil spirits and heretics, so it can only show its power when dealing with dangerous situations.

And Jack the Ripper, who is preparing to attack him, is essentially a "threat", no different from the monster in the dreamland, except that it is made of code.

Qin Zhibo figured out the mechanism and became more confident in rescuing Sawada Hiroki.

But as soon as he put away the [Oath Keeper Sword], Suzuki Shunsuke's voice floated from the sky.

"Mr. Qin, where did you get that sword?"

The moment Qin Zhibo took out his sword, the engineers outside were dumbfounded.

When did God Mode add the "Big Sword" function?

However, Qin Zhibo had an idea and thought of an explanation.

"This is a gift from the game to the first player in the world to officially pass the game. It is my exclusive prop."

When Qin Zhibo said this, the people outside felt relieved.

"I see……"

For a game that can be played multiple times, it is also a common game design to give out some powerful game props to players who pass the level, which can be regarded as small easter eggs in the game.

Is this the true strength of the second-week players?

So scary!

Qin Zhibo solved Jack the Ripper, but the game did not show a clearance prompt.

Because according to the game plot, Jack the Ripper cannot be killed. The most authentic ending is to bring him to justice through the joint efforts of players and Holmes.

So the game cannot be ended at the moment, but it can be exited normally.

"Mr. Suzuki, I won't quit the game yet!"

Qin Zhibo shouted toward the sky, kicked off his feet, and suddenly jumped into the air, soaring over London at midnight.

…

In midair, a figure was flying freely in the night sky.

Looking down at the land of London beneath his body, Qin Zhibo couldn't help but sigh. This game's modeling and character AI are very complete, and can be called an epoch-making work.

It's a pity that this game may never be released.

When flying to Big Ben, Qin Zhibo changed direction and flew to 221B Baker Street.

In the second-floor window of that familiar apartment building, Qin Zhibo saw Holmes and Watson sitting on chairs.

The face models of these two characters are Kudo Yusaku and Dr. Agasa. The two NPCs seem to be talking about something.

Qin Zhibo still clearly remembers that the last time he visited No. 221B Baker Street, it was not Holmes and Watson who lived here, but Professor Moriarty.

Because the last game world was organized based on "A Study of the Green Letter", in this Sherlock Holmes fan novel, the identities of Moriarty and Sherlock Holmes are interchangeable.

Now that there are no modifications by Hiroki Sawada, everything in the game has returned to normal.

Qin Zhibo flew to Buckingham Palace again, where he also saw a normal-looking Queen Victoria instead of a luxuriously dressed tentacle monster.

…

After wandering around London for almost two hours, Qin Zhibo still didn't wait for the "green signal" to appear.

This made Qin Zhibo gradually impatient.

Is Itakura Taku's software useless?

Itakura Taku said in his diary that his software was not fully developed, and it seemed that it was still a little behind.

But Qin Zhibo didn't want to give up easily. He had already promised to rescue Sawada Hiroki.

This is not only related to whether he can gain a powerful artificial intelligence ally, but also complete the corresponding main mission.

"Mr. Qin, please pay attention to the play time. You have been playing for 2 hours continuously..."

Artificial anti-addiction reminders floated from the sky.

Qin Zhibo made an "OK" gesture, but had no intention of quitting the game.

He flew along the Thames River in the direction of the river's flow, intending to explore the boundaries of the game map.

Dockyards, piers, warehouses, Tower Bridge, and Greenwich along both sides of the river are all famous real-life attractions standing on both sides of the Thames.

Qin Zhibo flew until he reached the estuary where the lower reaches of the Thames River merged into the North Sea, and then he stopped.

At this time, the time in the game has reached dawn, and a new sun is gradually rising on the sea level.

It was originally a normal game screen, but because Qin Zhibo was flying in the sky, he saw a fleet moving slowly on the sea far away from the shore.

Qin Zhibo quickly flew to the fleet and realized that this was a fleet that was older than the Vitoraya era.

The people on the fleet were all burly men, wearing horned iron helmets and heavy clothing made of animal fur and a small amount of colorful fabrics.

"Vikings?"

Qin Zhibo looked at this image and remembered the identity of this group of people.

The Vikings and the Victorian era are completely incompatible. Why are they sewn together?

Qin Zhibo thought for a moment in the air and figured out the cause of the problem.

It turns out that the so-called five games are actually modeled using the same big world scene, which can save costs.

The waters off London in the Victorian era were actually the world of Viking pirates.

Players can't easily reach the very edge of London anyway.

Even if it could, the design of this sea follows the principle that "the earth is round", and it is impossible to see the distant sea from the shore.

Qin Zhibo was able to discover this fleet because it was flying high in the sky.

At this time, on the deck of the Viking warship, starting from the observers, Viking pirates discovered Qin Zhibo flying in mid-air one after another.

"what is that?"

"Odin of Asgard?"

"No, gods can't be so small. They should be warrior spirits who ascended to the palace of Valhalla, right?"

The Vikings gathered on the deck one after another, speculating on the identity of the figure in the air.

Just as these Vikings were looking up, Qin Zhibo, who was floating in the air and looking down, was looking at another scene.

Under the sea, an extremely huge shadow is slowly emerging.
