The Grammatical Investigator in Conan

Benedict...

Dude, Dude——

The extremely unpleasant flute sound spread destructively toward the forest below the hill.

The originally monotonous flute sound was like a devil's howl, but with the help of a loudspeaker, it was sublimated into the roar of countless amorphous stupid flute players.

This is not a deliberate performance, but more like a casual performance.

The unpleasant noise spread over the mining area, and then covered the soldiers who were ambushing in the surrounding grass. Everyone couldn't help but look embarrassed.

What song is this?

It's ugly, it's really unpleasant...

The soldiers complained secretly in their hearts. They didn't know the purpose of the "mysterious man" playing this tune. It was not a charge trumpet anyway.

Could it be that they want to use noise to lure aliens out of the ground?

It seems impossible. If those ugly aliens could hear this song, they would probably just hide deeper in the mine...

Unlike the soldiers, although Lupine III and others knew Qin Zhibo's plan, they did not know that the music he was going to play was so ugly.

This is all nonsense!

Including Conan, if he hadn't already known that Qin Zhibo had an "absolute sense of pitch", he would have suspected that this piece was played completely wrong.

Just when everyone was skeptical, there was a rustling sound in the dark forest.

Countless trivial sounds gradually became denser and louder, overpowering the unpleasant flute body and attracting the soldiers' attention.

A soldier looked back and saw that the trees behind him and the lower grass were shaking strangely.

The soldier stared at the darkness and unconsciously swallowed the saliva he secreted due to nervousness.

They were ordered to remain stationary no matter what happened until they received a formal order to fire.

Soldiers have a duty to obey orders.

The soldiers could only stare nervously and uneasily, wondering uneasily what was coming behind them, and they did not even dare to turn the muzzle of their guns.

This is the terrifying sound made by some kind of animal moving quickly...

This is...a mouse!

The soldier's eyes widened in surprise as he saw the four-legged beast, known as the "rat", rushing out of the bushes.

They come in groups, constantly emerging from dark hiding places, and their four little legs are fidgeting in the grass at extremely fast speeds.

When the soldiers saw this incredible scene, no matter how determined they were and no matter how fearless they were of rats, they could not help but scream in surprise.

But the targets of these rats were not them. Each dark and small form directly bypassed each prostrate soldier, running like crazy towards the direction where the flute sounded the loudest.

…

On the hill, Qin Zhibo played to his heart's content.

Just like Conan doesn't realize that he's tone deaf when he sings, Qin Zhibo, who plays, doesn't realize how bad his playing is.

When he finished playing a piece of music by himself, he looked back and saw that mice had climbed all over the hill.

The mice are like a layer of dark, three-dimensional lichen, "dying" the originally green hills black.

Under the moonlight, this layer of "lichen" is given a beautiful black luster.

Are these all the rats that [The Magic Flute] can summon so far?

Qin Zhibo took a quick look and was quite satisfied with the number of rats here. As expected, there were still many rats in the wild.

It's just that when the number of rats increases, even the air you breathe has a strong fishy smell.

But Qin Zhibo didn't care about that.

He unmoved put the substitute away and the loudspeaker also put it back in his backpack.

When the rats are all gathered together, there is no need for loudspeakers to amplify the sound.

Immediately afterwards, Qin Zhibo picked up the magic flute again, put it in front of his mouth and blew it.

Benedict——

Although the flute sound this time was much quieter than the one played just now, it seemed to be more beautiful because the scale became clearer?

The mice all raised their heads and stared at Qin Zhibo standing on the hill.

Qin Zhibo turned his head, jumped up, and slid down the slope of the hill.

Immediately afterwards, the mice that climbed all over the hill also jumped down from the hill.

Countless dark shapes jumped from the edge of the hill, rolled down the slope, and jumped, as spectacular as a downpour or a raging flash flood.

The soldiers looked at the hills and widened their eyes in disbelief when they saw this scene.

This is... a miracle!

At the bottom of the hillside, which is also at the very edge of the mining area, the wire protection fence here has been cut in advance.

Qin Zhibo bent down and got into the protective net while playing the magic flute.

The rats behind them rolled down the hillside one after another, their bodies turning over nimbly, like the waves caused by waves crashing on the rocks.

After only slightly delaying the progress, the mouse that landed on the ground continued to follow Qin Zhibo.

In the sight of everyone, Qin Zhibo was walking slowly in the mining area.

Behind him was a large black mass of huge rodent legions arranged in a triangular shape.

"This is……"

At the command center 300 meters away from the mining area, Yusaku Kudo, Kogoro Mori and "Conan" saw Qin Zhibo appearing in the mining area.

What is even more eye-catching is the thing that follows him like a "dark carpet" behind him.

The resolution of the surveillance cameras wasn't clear enough to see what the "carpet" was made of, but based on pre-battle meetings, they knew it was rats.

Tens of thousands of rats…

The eyes of the three people were full of shock, and the two soldiers in charge of communications were even more stunned.

They didn't expect the scene to be so spectacular.

They never expected that Qin Zhibo actually successfully controlled the mouse...

…

In the mining area, Qin Zhibo played his flute and guided the countless rats behind him, slowly approaching the center like waves on the sea.

He didn't stop until he reached the entrance of the dark underground mine.

Immediately, his fingers blocking the air holes of the bone flute changed, and the tune immediately followed.

The boring tune that was so gloomy and terrifying just now suddenly turned into a high-pitched howl like a beast, and the scream was extremely harsh.

This stupid flute sound seems to disturb the minds of mice, and the dark and round eyes of all mice are filled with a layer of bloody mist.

Suddenly, the army of rats spread out their four pointed claws and rushed towards the dark mine ahead.

Countless rats poured in one after another, as if black seawater poured in.

In other words, the mine was like a bottomless abyss, mercilessly devouring the mice.

During this period, Qin Zhibo could hardly move because there were rats in front, back, left and right. If he moved even slightly, he might step on these crazy rodents.

After waiting like this for more than a minute, all the mice finally got into the mine.

Inside the mine, the "swirling" sounds made by the movement of rats gradually became distant, as if they were already deep inside the mine.

I guess I'll meet you soon...

Qin Zhibo didn't care to continue listening to what was going on below, and quickly ran out of the mining area and behind the defense line set up by the soldiers.

"Hey! You're really good~ I didn't expect you to really be able to control mice..."

Seeing Qin Zhibo running back, Lu Bang III took the initiative to talk to him.

During the observation just now, Lupine III concluded that the flute in Qin Zhibo's hand must be a big treasure.

In the past, Lupine III had seen a kind of psychedelic powder that could hypnotize and control humans. That thing was a consumable, and it was already priced at the same price as gold.

If I could get this big treasure, I wouldn’t be able to take off!

Lupine the Third opened his arms, pretending to hug Qin Zhibo, but in fact he wanted to wait until he got close to him, and then steal the flute with the skillful hands of the Phantom Thief.

However, Qin Zhibo saw Lupine III's little thoughts and bent his body to avoid Lupine III's hands.

cut……

Lupine the Third felt a little disappointed in his heart. The money-shaped police station next to him saw Lupine deflated, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly.

Qin Zhibo returned to Conan. The "father and son" looked at each other, and the former climbed up the big tree next to him to observe the situation in the entire mining area.

Without the sound of flutes and mice, the forest fell into silence again.

Including the entrance of the mine, there was no movement at this time.

When Qin Zhibo ran away from the cave entrance just now, he instantly dropped the [Guard Totem·Foresight Transformation] into the mine.

As soon as he closed his eyes, the view below the mine was revealed in his eyes.

In the dark mine, the squeaking sounds of countless rats were heard from all directions.

Immediately afterwards, a blue light ball flew through the mine tunnel, lighting up the dark vision.

With the light of this moment, Qin Zhibo saw it.

Countless pitch-black rats swarmed and passed through the narrow mine tunnels.

In comparison, the few Mi Gos standing in the aisle seemed a little helpless.

More than a dozen mice jumped up at the same time and rushed towards Mi Go's pink body.

There are also several rats that have hung on a Mi Go and are biting madly.

The blue light flashed by, but then more blue light flashed through the passage, bringing more lasting light to the dark mine.

This time, Qin Zhibo discovered more Mi Ge.

As expected, there are a large number of Mi Gos entrenched in the mines, and they are ready to fight against human attacks.

But what these alien beasts didn't expect was that it wasn't humans who came in, but countless rats.

Because Mi·Gou's original body shape was not flexible enough and the surface of the body was uneven, there were many hooks and crosses, which made it very easy for mice to crawl.

In less than twenty seconds, several Mi Ges were covered in hundreds of rats.

The rodents were biting furiously at Mi Go's body.

Although Mi·Go has biochemical armor that can withstand a considerable degree of physical damage, these creatures, which have lived on the earth for tens of millions, are best at digging holes!

Under the intensive bites, gaps in the biochemical armor were quickly exposed, and green blood and pus flowed out of them.

This pus is the repair fluid secreted by Mi Go's body when the biochemical armor is damaged, which can quickly repair the armor.

But in addition to being able to dig holes, rats are also masters at drilling holes.

Before Mi·Go could repair the biochemical armor, rats had already penetrated Mi·Go's body!

Bah...

Seeing this scene, Qin Zhibo felt an inexplicable discomfort in his heart.

It wasn't that he sympathized with Mi Ge, but when he saw rats burrowing into the bodies of other creatures, he would inexplicably think of himself.

Of course, Mi Go is not completely unable to deal with mice.

Countless electro-optical balls are flying in the mine tunnel, and if they hit a group of rats, they can directly kill a large number of rats.

There are also some M.G.s holding light blue ice sprayers, and the cone-shaped area released can freeze all rats within the range.

But the number of rats is too great, and Mi·Ge did not block the invasion of rats at the narrow pass in advance. Now the entire mine is submerged in a sea of ​​rats!

In the endless gnawing, some Mi-Gos became more and more decadent and gradually fell to the ground, completely covered up by the army of rats.

The tentacles on the ellipsoidal head twitched feebly among the rats, but even these tentacles were not spared by the rats and they ate them all!

There were also many Mi Ge who did not want to fight the rats at close range in the narrow mine. They used electric light guns to continuously bombard the rats while running towards the entrance of the hole as hard as they could.

Seeing this, Qin Zhibo immediately withdrew his vision.

"Be careful! It's coming out..."

Qin Zhibo reminded Kudo Yusaku in the command center through the radio, and Kudo Yusaku immediately issued orders to the entire army.

"Everyone is ready!"

Uh-huh.

After waiting for such a long time, the soldiers finally had a battle to fight, and they all raised their rifles.

A pair of eyes stared at the entrance of the mine illuminated by high-power searchlights, their eyes full of vengeful anger.

Suddenly, an abstract silhouette emerged from the hole.

It's the first Mi Go that rushes out!

When this Mi-Go ran out, there were still several rats hanging on it, and the biochemical armor was full of small holes chewed by rats.

As soon as it reached the entrance of the mine, it unfolded the membrane wings on its back and was about to take off.

But how can the humans who have been ambushing it for a long time give it a chance to escape?

"Fire!"

Countless bullets spurted out from the muzzle at the same time, shooting towards the entrance of the hole.

When the bullet hit Mi Go, the hole in the original biochemical armor was immediately enlarged, and the warhead was directly wedged into the disgusting flesh under the pink carapace.

It wasn't until everyone emptied the first magazine that the first Mi-Go was killed without any suspense by a human gun.

The huge body was riddled with holes, the ellipsoidal head was almost smashed by bullets, and green pus was scattered all over the floor.

Before everyone could take a breath, more Mi Ge poured out of the narrow hole from behind.

However, what greeted them was not the joy of escaping, but cold bullets.

As soon as these huge "lobster monsters" came out and noticed the huge searchlight outside, they immediately realized that there was an ambush.

They wanted to get back into the mine, but it was too late. The entrance to the cave was blocked by the same kind that came out from behind.

Countless bullets poured down on Mi Ge's body like a storm, and the dense impact points covered a small open space at the entrance of the mine.

But soon, as the number of Mi Ges who escaped increased, the soldiers' firepower was dispersed. Some Mi Ges successfully broke out from the open space at the entrance of the mine to avoid becoming a living target for the soldiers.

There were even a few Mi-Gos hiding behind bunkers, using the electric guns in their hands to shoot back at the humans on the edge of the mining area.

"Damn it, there's still not enough firepower..."

Qin Zhibo didn't expect this thing to have such a thick health bar and be able to withstand so many bullets.

However, at this moment, sharp bursts of wind broke out in the sky.

Everyone looked up and saw an armed helicopter.
