The Grammatical Investigator in Conan

Chapter 1,096 Palace Operation (5)

Daisuke Jigen was leaning sideways on the hexagonal prism at this time, with gray smoke rising from the muzzle of the Smith \u0026 Wesson M19 in front of him. His posture was as handsome as he wanted.

"dad!"

Conan saw Jigen Daisuke's figure and subconsciously screamed in surprise.

Kudo Yusaku next to him felt a little jealous when he heard the sincere "Dad", but he couldn't say anything, so he just pretended to be dumb.

Daisuke Jigen turned his revolver twice in his hand, straightened his back, separated his body from the pillar, and walked over.

"Looks like you're in trouble, kiddos."

"That's right..."

Conan turned to look at the defeated guard. A powerful Magnum bullet hit his forehead, blasting a large hole 5cm in diameter in the skin of his forehead.

Inside the large hole, you can see rotten flesh and blood, rapidly evaporating green pus, and some slightly twitching tentacles.

The membrane wings on the back of the "Guard" were also shaking slightly. Obviously, the Magnum bullet just fired was not a fatal injury.

"This is……"

Daisuke Jigen came over, looked down and saw something unusual about the "guards" on the ground, and was very surprised.

Next to him, Kudo Yusaku changed the magazine for the AUG and explained: "This is an alien creature called Mi. Go. They have occupied the palace."

Alien creatures?

Daisuke Jigen was stunned for a moment. This was the first time he had heard of this novel statement in the real world.

But the facts before him made it impossible for him to refute that it was impossible for humans to have wings and green blood.

No wonder many strange things happened before. This information needs to be told to Lupine and Goemon as soon as possible...

While Daisuke Jigen was deep in thought, another "guard" hanging on the ceiling took out an electric gun and fired toward the ground.

"careful!"

Kudo Yusaku shouted, and the three of them immediately dispersed.

The blue electro-optical ball exploded where the three of them had been standing, and a large charred hole was opened in the red carpet.

Daisuke Jigen hid sideways behind a pillar, his eyes slightly wrinkled.

He recognized it. This gun was the gun that hit Lupine III and Ishikawa Goemon before. It was black and looked like a doorknob.

Although the rate of fire of this kind of gun is not fast, because the bullets fired are essentially "electricity" and the human body is conductive, as long as the electro-optical ball is slightly close to the body, it will actively attract it and inflict all the damage.

And even if it hits a conductive object, anyone in contact with it will be hit.

"Be careful! His gun is discharged!"

"Don't get too close to conductive objects!"

With Daisuke Jigen's reminder, Conan, who was about to pick up the metal shield hanging on the wall to ward off bullets, immediately threw the shield away.

After the reminder, Jigen Daisuke suddenly leaned half of his body out of the pillar, and kept pulling the revolver trigger in his hand.

Pia! Pia! Pia!

Bullets poured towards the ceiling, but the "guard" flew as nimbly as a bird, scurrying back and forth across the ceiling.

"cut……"

The remaining five bullets were all fired, but except for one bullet that hit the insignificant membrane wing, all the other bullets missed.

Daisuke Jigen retracted his body to change bullets, then turned into Kudo Yusaku who was behind another pillar and leaned out half of his body, using AUG to continue to maintain fire suppression.

A large amount of sawdust and dust were splashed on the ceiling, and a line of bullet holes followed the path of the "guard", but it failed to hit, which made Conan who was standing next to him anxious.

Daisuke Jigen leaned sideways against the pillar, blindly changing bullets for the revolver, three bullets at a time, while tilting his head to observe the situation outside.

The flying speed of this "guard" is extremely fast, and it seems to be able to predict the impact point of the bullet.

For it, dodging these bullets is as easy as playing an STG shooting game.

But on the other hand, since you need to dodge bullets, it means it can still cause damage, right?

Jigen Daisuke flicked his wrist, chuckled, and quickly loaded the wheel.

His body rotated 180°, and his trembling suit suddenly popped out from behind the pillar with his handsome figure. At the same time, he raised his gun and aimed at the "guards" in the sky.

He narrowed his eyes slightly at the gap on the brim of the hat, and aimed at the "guards" flying around on the ceiling through the gap.

This is a shooting technique invented by Daisuke Jigen, which is to use the notch on the brim of the hat as a sight when shooting.

He has mastered basic gun-drawing and gun-holding skills to the point of proficiency. Sometimes, even when he doesn't have a gun on him, he will subconsciously make a set of "American Iai" movements.

In other words, Jigen Daisuke's shooting prowess has reached the point where he can ignore the gun. As long as he aims his eyes, the gun in his hand will hit wherever he goes.

Since you can’t hit when you aim and shoot, predict it in advance!

Daisuke Jigen deflected his gaze slightly, and the target in the gap in the hat brim switched from "the guard's head" to "the position where the guard's head will pass by in the next 0.01 seconds."

This is a prediction that requires shooting experience.

What Jigen Daisuke lacks most is shooting experience.

Pia——

The Magnum bullet ejected from the muzzle and shot towards the ceiling, but hit the head of the flying "guard" during the flight.

All this seems to be a mistake, but it is actually a manifestation of extremely accurate marksmanship.

The hit "guard" flew forward a few meters with the inertia, fell from the air, and fell heavily to the ground.

Nice shoot!

Good marksmanship!

Conan and Kudo Yusaku praised the man's shooting skills in their hearts at the same time, and then quickly walked to the "guard" to check.

Just like the other "guard", the headshot didn't kill him, but some green pus leaked out, and white smoke full of fungus smell came out from the wound.

Conan quickly reminded: "This seems to be a means of self-recovery. It will come back to life after a while!"

Kudo Yusaku stared at the "guard" and wanted to cut off his head.

Theoretically speaking, the biggest thing Mi-Go has in common with humans is the brain, the absolute thinking center.

If you cut off the head, it probably won't grow back.

At this time, Daisuke Jigen also came over and looked at the "guard" with white smoke on his face. He felt disgusted and spat on it.

"There is nothing in this world that can't be killed with a headshot..."

"If there is, then..."

Conan shivered, raised his head and replied, "Two rounds then?"

"No..." Daisuke Jigen shook his head, "Then burn them all."

After saying that, Daisuke Jigen took out a burning stick from his arms and scratched it on the sole of his shoe. Crimson flames immediately burst out.

He threw the burning stick on the "guard"'s body, and the flames burned the "guard's" uniform, which in turn ignited the "guard's" body.

Suddenly, the "guard" twitched all over and stood up again from the fire!

A pair of huge membrane wings spread out behind his back, and the uniform that was burned by the flames shook slightly before turning into ashes and falling off.

Half of the human body was being roasted by the fire, and the skin on it was quickly becoming charred and curled.

After a while, these skins are like the chocolate brittle shell of ice cream, and they are peeled off like a banana peel, revealing the real core inside.

It was a monster that resembled a lobster. Countless tentacles on the ellipsoidal head were trembling crazily. Several groups of jointed limbs were pulled out from the position where the human abdomen was originally. The carapace covering it was gradually changing from pink to dark red.

Buzz——

Buzz buzz——

With the high-frequency vibration of the wings, a harsh buzzing sound resounded in the space.

Several people were so frightened that they immediately retreated, raised their guns again, and fired a volley at the body of the "guard".

Countless bullets hit the monster's head and body. The impact of the bullets made the carapace body tremble continuously, as if it was electrocuted.

Vaguely, Conan saw that the green slime network covering the monster's body was gradually fading and breaking apart.

Until the sound of air cocking was heard from the guns of Kudo Yusaku and Jigen Daisuke, the monster's membrane wings and tentacles finally stopped trembling and fell to the ground.

"Are you dead now?"

"should be……"

The two adults loaded their bullets again and tentatively stepped forward.

The monster's body is still burning. If you get closer, you can smell the smell of roasted mushrooms.

More green pus flowed out from the monster's broken belly, like green gasoline in the flames, and the surface was faintly burning.

As for the monster's head, it has completely stopped moving.

The three of them stared blankly at the monster's ellipsoidal head, feeling a little distracted for a moment.

There are no organs on this head that humans can remember, except for the densely packed top and sparse tentacles scattered around it.

Including Kudo Yusaku, his eyes were also filled with incredulity.

Although he was the first person to propose the concept of Mi Go, he had never seen such a creature with his own eyes.

He just wrote the story "The Whispering in the Dark Night" based on the simplified diagrams in the Yithian library and some of his own imagination.

But when this creature actually appeared in front of us, it was still somewhat different from what we imagined.

For example, the roasted rice-go smells really good?

Just as the three people were standing around the Mi-Go, the "guard" who was knocked down first suddenly spread his wings and flew up from the ground.

Daisuke Jigen reacted first, raised his gun and shot.

Pia!

Due to the angle of the bullet, it only hit the back and was of no use.

Kudo Yusaku also raised his gun 0.5 seconds later, and Kami Go had already passed through the pillars of the corridor and flew towards the vast sky outside.

"Tch, one ran away..."

Daisuke Jigen was a little dissatisfied with the results and pouted.

Kudo Yusaku and Conan didn't think anything was wrong. This was an alien. It was pretty good to be able to defeat the opponent without being familiar with the information.

And their purpose is to buy time for Qisi, Princess and others to evacuate.

"Sir, thank you for your help." Kudo Yusaku came up and thanked Daisuke Jigen.

Conan also turned around and said, "We plan to evacuate from the underground passage, do you want to come with us?"

Daisuke Jigen glanced down at Conan, raised a hand in his trouser pocket, and waved it indifferently.

"If you want to leave, you can go, I'm going to make a big fuss with my guys here!"

The "guys" Daisuke Jigen is talking about are, of course, Lupine III and Ishikawa Goemon.

When they were freed from prison, the three decided to rescue Fujiko Mine and regain the face they had lost before.

With Daisuke Jigen's previous experience as an undercover bodyguard in the palace, the three of them quickly retrieved their weapons in the weapons storage room.

Daisuke Jigen turned his head and glanced at the other side of the palace, thinking secretly.

I guess the "teacher" is doing a lot of chopping now...

…

Royal Palace of Vespagna, west side.

A breeze blew out from the exit of the underground treasure house, and at the same time there was a clearly audible sound of running.

Two seconds later, three lobster-like monsters chased out with light-colored membrane wings.

Logically speaking, Qin Zhibo has entered the invisible state, and it is difficult for Mi-Go to pursue him.

However, the passage in the palace was long and narrow, and the MI-Go's flying speed was extremely fast. Even if Qin Zhibo changed into [Golden Chelsea], he couldn't get rid of it at all.

But there is another advantage when running into the palace, that is, there are ordinary guards in the palace.

As long as these three monsters can be brought to meet hordes of ordinary guards, they can not only divert trouble, but also reveal the truth about this palace to ordinary people.

But after running for more than ten seconds, Qin Zhibo did not encounter any ordinary guards.

Passing by the window and taking a look outside, I found that almost all the guards had gathered at the main entrance of the palace.

Qin Zhibo frowned, and then he realized that the explosion he had just created probably triggered the alarm device. According to the previous agreement, in order to reduce the pressure inside the palace, Qiangata Yuki used a rocket launcher to blow open the main entrance and attract the guards away.

What bad luck...

Qin Zhibo complained and could only continue walking Mi-Go.

With the speed of Golden Chelsea, even if he couldn't completely escape, he could at least maintain a relatively safe distance.

While Qin Zhibo was working as a "runner", a man in white dressed as a ronin stood face to face in the corridor more than ten meters away.

He was dressed in a white kimono, holding a sword in his arms and standing with his eyes closed. He looked very out of place in this European-style palace.

Qin Zhibo's eyes changed slightly, remembering that this man was imprisoned with Lupine III before, and his name was... Ishikawa Goemon.

The fact that he can come out means that Lupine III has been released by Conan.

But if he doesn't run away quickly, why is he posing a possiblity here?

Qin Zhibo was a little puzzled and quickly passed through the empty space next to him.

Ishikawa Goemon, who was standing there, heard the sound of running and breathing, and his eyes suddenly opened. He was about to slash with a knife, but found that there was no one around him.

"Um?"

Ishikawa Goemon was also a little puzzled. He clearly heard someone running towards him...

But when he opened his eyes, the three Mi-Gos flying from the opposite direction came into view completely.

"!"

Ishikawa Goemon was shocked, looking at the three "lobster monsters" flying from the opposite side, the shock in his pupils was undisguised.

But the next moment, his eyes suddenly sharpened.

"Where is the monster?"

"How dare you show yourself here!"

Ishikawa Goemon shouted, leaned forward quickly, and actively rushed towards the three Mi-Gos.

Qin Zhibo, who had just ran over, looked back and thought that this man would instinctively choose to run away when he saw the monster. Unexpectedly, he took the initiative to meet it.

Fool!

When Qin Zhibo just turned around and wondered if he could be saved, the man in white had already rushed into the middle of the three Mi-gos.

At almost the same time, an extremely sharp half-moon cold light flashed in the air with the man's body as the center.

Iai·draw your sword and kill!

When Qin Zhibo reacted, the man in white had already sheathed the knife and turned around with an arrogant look of seeking defeat alone.

The three MI-Gos behind them stood there, their wings trembling slightly and making a small sound, and the tentacles on their oval heads were also slowly twitching.

The next moment, the bodies of the three Mi-Gos were staggered from the middle and divided into two halves!
