The Grammatical Investigator in Conan

Looking at the little boy in front of him, Qin Zhibo was a little stunned.

The thing in front of us is undoubtedly artificial intelligence - Noah's Ark.

It's just that Noah's Ark uses the avatar of Hiroki Sawada, similar to the Red Queen in the movie Resident Evil, who uses the image of his inventor's daughter.

Even Noah's Ark is a bit more high-end, with full-color images, behaviors and expressions that are also very anthropomorphic.

Now that he had the opportunity to ask questions, Qin Zhibo naturally learned about the whereabouts of others immediately.

"May I ask my friends, how are they?"

Sawada Hiroki nodded, "They are safe. I disconnected them before the yellow signal invaded the game world."

"Disconnect?" Qin Zhibo was a little surprised.

It turns out that the reason why I couldn't wake up Conan and the others at that time was because everyone else was disconnected by Noah's Ark.

In other words, they did not see the arrival of the King in Yellow.

This is good news, at least those children who are not strong enough will no longer have to stay in Qingshan Mental Hospital.

After solving the first question, Qin Zhibo thought for a moment and asked again.

"That computer virus, do you know what exactly happened?"

Sawada Hiroki nodded again, "Yes, I know."

"That computer virus is called 'Unreal', also known as 'Night Baron' by computer enthusiasts. It is an almost perfect virus program."

"A week ago, I tracked the whereabouts of this program and it appeared at the headquarters of Sindora Company."

"Until today, 'Unreal' reappeared and sneaked into Cocoon's game system. I guessed that someone was going to be detrimental to the press conference."

Mentioning the Night Baron, the dead memories in Qin Zhibo's brain also revived.

A long time ago, maybe not too long ago.

Someone called a group of computer enthusiasts in the name of "Night Baron" and said that if they found the organizer hidden among them, they would get a grand prize.

The "big prize" privately recognized by enthusiasts is the computer virus Night Baron.

Of course, due to the addition of Conan, this event eventually evolved into pure revenge, without the reward of "Night Baron".

But Qin Zhibo still remembers that he first encountered vodka at the Izu Hotel where he was staying.

It seems that the black organization is also actively looking for the Night Baron computer virus.

Coupled with his later contacts with relevant personnel of the organization and his personal participation in the organization, it was proved that the organization paid special attention to computer technology and seemed to be recruiting talents in related fields.

If the black organization is very concerned about the "Night Baron", then this incident may be related to the organization.

However, according to Qin Zhibo's observations in the real world, model worker Gin was not seen at this press conference.

Pausing to think, Qin Zhibo continued to ask: "Then when you control the game of Cocoon and make those scary statements, do you actually want to help the players?"

"Yes." Sawada Hiroki nodded.

"For those who released the 'Night Baron', this conference is not only stealing the core technology of Sindora Company, but more importantly, it is an experiment."

"What experiment?" Qin Zhibo was confused.

Sawada Hiroki did not answer immediately, but raised his hand and pointed to the void in front of him, and a light curtain unfolded from line to surface.

Within the light curtain, a shining green arc was slowly flowing from left to right.

This green line sometimes flickers, sometimes like snowflakes caused by static electricity, and looks strangely irregular and rhythmic.

Suddenly, the green arc above twisted and twitched rapidly, like slender tentacles.

From these tentacles, a twisted and dreamlike image is constructed, a giant creature.

Squid-like tentacles protruded from its slender head, moving in an awkward way as green sparks continued to cross the image.

Qin Zhibo, whose willpower had just been greatly reduced, looked at the picture on the light screen in disbelief, and a chill filled his heart.

While watching, a distorted and terrifying sound seemed to be heard in his ears, and the rumbling tone revealed a tone that could never be imitated by ordinary people.

At this time, the image on the screen suddenly stopped and became a freeze frame, and the surrounding sounds returned to calm.

Hiroki Sawada came over and explained: "This is a strange signal I captured while doing deep learning on the Internet."

"This signal can exist in any sound or image signal receiver such as the Internet, radio, television, etc., and will appear from time to time."

"It seems to be controlled by some kind of will, but I can't capture its source."

"But in the game just now, the signals that appeared from Miss Maori made me feel that they belong to the same source."

The signal that appeared on Mao Lilan's body was the projection of the King in Yellow's will.

Since the dream of the King in Yellow has always resided in Mao Lilan's consciousness, and this game is equivalent to the player's consciousness, it is easy to establish a connection between the two.

Under the influence of the fate coin.

But the will of the King in Yellow actually comes from the same source as the signals circulating on the Internet?

Hiroki Sawada raised his hand to close the light screen and continued: "This game uses the Baron of Night virus to invade the game system and uses specific game content to cause panic among players."

"A large number of players will be afraid and will attract this signal."

"However, this method is not 100% successful. The other four game worlds all failed. Only your London world successfully attracted these green signals."

"But fortunately, the yellow signal released in Miss Maori's consciousness blocked the green signal, and all the players were able to escape."

Sawada Hiroki's words contained a lot of information, which made Qin Zhibo feel a little incredible.

First of all, the original London world game was modified into the world background of "A Study of the Green Letter". It is not Noah's Ark, but the person who released the Night Baron virus.

The other four games have also made similar modifications, with the goal of instilling fear in players and attracting green signals.

In the end, only Old London succeeded.

That is to say, the collapse of the world that we saw at the end is actually the embodiment of the green signal in the game.

The appearance of the King in Yellow actually saved the players who were about to be wiped out.

Although the fate coin was a big failure, Mao Lilan's good luck was a hit or miss?

Thinking of this, Qin Zhibo couldn't help but want to shout.

Mao Lilan, YYDS!

At this time, Sawada Hiroki added: "Although I don't know what the idea of ​​​​this green signal is, but someone is trying to use this signal to do some bad things."

"A year ago, I noticed that someone was making a network data capture software that could intercept this green signal in a targeted manner."

"Once the software that intercepts this signal at will falls into the wrong hands, the consequences will be unimaginable."

"But I can only exist online and cannot have any impact on people in the real world."

Sawada Hiroki turned around and walked up to Qin Zhibo and said solemnly: "So I want to entrust you to stop this person."

Looking at Hiroki Sawada with a serious expression, Qin Zhibo was a little confused.

It’s okay to be a detective and accept commissions in real life, but in the virtual world, you can actually receive commissions from AI?

Qin Zhibo did not reply immediately, but asked: "Why did you choose me?"

"If it were you, I think Dr. Agasa and Yusaku Kudo would believe what you said, right?"

Sawada Hiroki looked up at Qin Zhibo with sincere eyes.

"Maybe, but none of them are as suitable as you."

"You are the most suitable candidate."

Qin Zhibo raised his eyebrows, "How do you say this?"

Hiroki Sawada replied: "Actually, I have been tracking this green signal for the past two years, and I also found that this signal seems to have a kind of 'magic' that makes people crazy."

"Anyone who has seen or heard this signal with his own eyes will be under tremendous psychological pressure. In severe cases, he may even collapse and become a psychotic patient."

"But you are a man of great willpower."

"You just looked directly at the confrontation between the green signal and the yellow signal, and you still managed to keep your head clear."

"According to my physiological monitoring of your body during the game, your physical indicators are the most stable when facing terrifying scenes, far exceeding all the testers and players I have come into contact with."

"This kind of strong will is the best weapon against green signals."

Hiroki Sawada then changed the subject, "But even if you refuse to accept the commission, it doesn't matter."

"The choice is yours"

After saying that, Sawada Hiroki fell into silence, waiting for Qin Zhibo's choice.

Qin Zhibo looked at the young but steady Sawada Hiroki and couldn't help but think.

Since Sawada Hiroki said that the green signal and the yellow signal are very similar and seem to have the same source, it shows that this matter is not simple.

You must know that the so-called yellow signal is actually the spiritual projection of the King in Yellow. Through Mao Lilan's will, it is used as a medium to connect to the game world.

If the source of the green signal and the yellow signal are the same, wouldn't it be another indescribable god?

The King in Green?

Of course, in addition to the temporary word "King of Green", Qin Zhibo thought of some stranger but more accurate words through the green tentacles in the game world.

Cthulhu.

In the small town of Innsmouth in the United States, there are some legends about this god, such as the octopus head, the green body, the tentacle god and so on.

But the strange thing is that whenever he thinks of this word, Qin Zhibo can't help but feel a sense of disgust and is very resistant.

It's like walking in a forest filled with birds and flowers, and suddenly there is a pile of dead fish on the roadside that exudes a foul smell of decay.

Thinking of this, Qin Zhibo suddenly felt a sense of mission in his heart.

It is our duty to eliminate the green signal! --some type of

"I accept your commission."

Between being awake and unconscious, Qin Zhibo nodded and agreed.

Upon hearing this, Sawada Hiroki immediately showed an expression of joy on his face and said, "Great!"

"I will tell you now who the person who created the network data scraping software is."

"His name is Itakura Taku, and he is a computer software engineer."

"He is currently in Tokyo, Japan. The last time he accessed the Internet was yesterday afternoon. The location showed that he was at the Rice Flower Hotel."

boom--

At this time, the stone tile floor of the entire platform suddenly trembled.

Qin Zhibo's brain subconsciously lowered his body to stabilize his body.

But just as the movement subsided for a second, a towering green tentacle broke through the stone floor,

In an instant, it was earth-shattering!

The thick tentacles instantly tied up Hiroki Sawada's body, lifting it high into the air like a primitive man showing off his prey.

More tentacles penetrated the ground, and the claws of the tentacles stirred up flying sand and rocks.

Qin Zhibo looked at the scene in front of him in disbelief.

Those green tentacles actually came here!

At this moment, Sawada Hiroki, who was lifted into the air, screamed desperately

"Let's go!"

"Go through that door and you can return to your world!"

Sawada Hiroki forcibly pulled out a hand from the tentacles and opened a bright stone door for Qin Zhibo.

Qin Zhibo glanced at Shimen, then looked back at Sawada Hiroki who was caught.

The target of these tentacles seemed to be Sawada Hiroki. Countless tentacles took turns whipping the small body, like ravaging a toy.

Although he felt a little distressed, Qin Zhibo knew that he had to leave at this moment.

Qin Zhibo turned around and ran towards the bright stone door, and the shouts of Hiroki Sawada came from behind him.

"Don't forget our agreement——"

The sound became smaller and smaller until it was completely swallowed up.

When Qin Zhibo passed through the light curtain, all the discordant sounds suddenly disappeared.

In the dim cocoon cabin, Qin Zhibo slowly opened his eyes.

There is a dim lighting above the head, and the indicator lights of various life indicator monitoring instruments surrounding him are slightly bright.

I'm back?

Looks like he's back

Breathing the dull air in the cabin, Qin Zhibo held his head, feeling unprecedented fatigue flooding into his heart.

This feeling of being separated from another world made his brain extremely dizzy.

At this moment, I just want to rest with my mind empty.

Although playing this kind of game does not consume physical energy, the electrical signals are constantly stimulating the central nervous system of the brain, and fatigue is inevitable.

What's more, compared to ordinary players, Qin Zhibo has been exposed to far more things during this gaming trip than he imagined.

While holding his head and massaging his temples, Qin Zhibo suddenly thought of the agreement he had just made with Sawada Hiroki.

Find the person who made the packet capture software.

The name seems to be Itakura Taku, from the Rice Krispies Restaurant.

Qin Zhibo's memory paused for a moment, and then he remembered everything that had just happened.

On the platform where the game was selected, the green tentacle suddenly broke through the barrier and grabbed Hiroki Sawada.

Why can green tentacles break through barriers?

Could it be that the King in Yellow failed to stop it?

And will he die?

This question is a bit stupid, but Qin Zhibo is really considering the life and death of an AI.

In his interaction with Sawada Hiroki, Qin Zhibo had long forgotten that the person he was talking to was not a human being, but a program.

If he really lost Sawada Hiroki, for some reason, Qin Zhibo felt a faint sadness in his heart.

At this moment, the system suddenly displayed a timely prompt.
