Hearing these words, Director Ochiai stopped and looked back, watching Qin Zhibo's eyes slightly open.
This young man...
Understand what I'm saying.
Director Ochiai just used the painting called "God's Punishment" as a metaphor to hint at his own experience and fate.
However, Qin Zhibo put forward a different understanding of this painting.
Regarding this understanding, Director Ochiai paused for a long time before slowly giving an answer.
"Mr. Qin, maybe you are right."
"Actually, that painting was not originally called "God's Punishment", but an unnamed painting. I named it "God's Punishment" without permission for the convenience of exhibition."
"So just treat what I said just now as my wishful thinking and laugh it off..."
Under the leadership of the police, Director Ochiai slowly left the scene, leaving behind a confused Mouri Kogoro and others.
"What were the two of them talking about about painting or not?"
"Maybe he's talking about that painting."
Conan pointed to "Heavenly Punishment" in the center of the hell exhibition hall, and at the same time saw Mouri Ran cowering behind Mouri Kogoro.
Mao Lilan has been very afraid of these mysterious things since she was a child, so Conan used his boyfriend power and comforted her: "Sister Xiaolan, that's just a painting."
"And the presence of 'walking armor' in the art museum is probably just the result of the curator's uncle secretly practicing killing techniques at night."
After listening to Conan's consolation, Mao Lilan gave a somewhat forced smile and said: "I just feel that this exhibition hall is a bit spooky, as if something unclean has been here..."
Conan looked around, and all the headlights in the exhibition hall were lit. Although the decoration of the exhibition hall was gloomy, so it was not very bright, but it was not gloomy either.
At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded behind Mao Lilan.
"Xiaolan..."
"ah!"
The piercing scream echoed in the exhibition hall, startling Officer Megure who was standing behind Mao Lilan.
Officer Memu was dumbfounded, and Mao Lilan quickly bowed and apologized to Officer Memu.
Officer Megure also coughed slightly and said, "Xiaolan, I just want to ask you, when will Brother Kudo come back?"
"Last time, the cases involving Souha's residence and the roller coaster were still waiting for him to take a statement."
Last time, in order not to delay Kudo Shinichi's date, Megure did not let Kudo Shinichi record a confession directly after the roller coaster murder case was solved.
But what Megure didn't expect was that from then on, Kudo Shinichi would disappear from the world, with no one alive or dead.
"Actually, I don't know where Shinichi has gone. He hasn't contacted me in the past few days."
"Oh, I see..."
Officer Mu Mu looked puzzled and wondered if he could consider issuing a missing person notice or something after returning home.
After all, Kudo Shinichi is a famous detective and crime nemesis, and he must have accumulated many enemies.
Conan, who was standing next to the two of them, looked in the direction of Qin Zhibo with a guilty conscience.
From Conan's perspective, Qin Zhibo is unable to reveal that he is Kudo Shinichi now simply because the idea of "rejuvenating one's youth" sounds too unscientific.
But if Qin Zhibo is allowed to get more information, with Qin Zhibo's strong reasoning ability, he will definitely be able to produce conclusive evidence that "Conan = Kudo Shinichi".
After all, a great detective once said that if all impossible conclusions are eliminated, then whatever remains, no matter how bizarre or unbelievable, must be irrefutable facts.
So Qin Zhibo must not be allowed to hear the details of Kudo Shinichi's disappearance now.
Fortunately, Qin Zhibo was not standing nearby when these conversations took place.
In Conan's sight, Qin Zhibo was staring at the painting called "Heavenly Punishment" alone in a daze.
...
In Qin Zhibo's field of vision, a bright investigation point lit up on the painting "Heavenly Punishment".
Qin Zhibo can be 100% sure that this is not an investigation point that he missed, but one that suddenly appeared just now.
It was when Director Ochiai personally admitted that the title of this painting, "God's Punishment," was made up by himself.
How is this going?
At this time, not only was the sudden appearance of the investigation point very strange, but even the task interface in the system suddenly changed into another style of painting.
The originally relatively modern translucent font of the mission interface has been changed to an ancient font similar to black type printing.
What worries Qin Zhibo the most is that the original side mission of "investigating supernatural events in the art museum" became the main mission at some point.
...
Main mission: Investigate the supernatural events in the Medieval Art Museum
Mission requirements: No requirements
Mission reward: 1600 general skill proficiency, 120 social credit, 400 mysterious mythology knowledge and skill proficiency.
...
The content of the task is the same as the previous side task, except that the side task just now is not shown as completed, but is directly replaced by the main task.
Could it be that the supernatural incident at the Medieval Museum was not the result of Director Ochiai rehearsing his murderous tactics late at night?
Now the only thing Qin Zhibo could investigate was the painting "Heavenly Punishment". Qin Zhibo could only determine this option in his mind.
【Survey√】
[This is an unknown painting by an unknown artist. The protagonist of the painting is a "demon" that transcends dimensions...]
[It comes from a dimension different from the human world, travels back and forth between various universes, and will not stay on a certain planet for a long time...]
[Although it has an observable appearance, due to its physical characteristics, it is not affected by any influence from the human world...]
[When it leaves for other dimensions, it will take away some items and creatures...]
[It will use its claws to firmly grab the items it wants to take away, and the items it takes away will never appear again...]
[Part of the name of this "devil" can be vaguely seen in the signature in the lower right corner...]
【Dimensional...】
...
After the investigation, Qin Zhibo felt a slight numbness on his scalp.
Strange knowledge added·gif
Qin Zhibo stared at the "demon" that looked like an ape or a mummy on the painting, but various seemingly unrelated thoughts appeared in his mind.
Artworks that suddenly disappeared from art museums recently...
Kubota, who has a history of stealing art, refused to plead guilty to theft...
A "demon" who takes away some items when he leaves a certain world...
At the edge of Qin Zhibo's field of vision, dark green branches appeared out of nowhere.
These branches look wrinkled due to lack of water, and they vaguely feel like the tentacles of some kind of creature.
It's just that the tentacles don't twitch randomly, but rather like a small heart hidden underneath, their dark green skin makes ups and downs of reciprocating motions.
At the same time, the numbers in the will column of Qin Zhibo's character card are continuing to decrease.
90...
87...
85...
82...
80...
Every time the number decreases, these tentacle-like branches at the edge of Qin Zhibo's field of vision will move closer to the center of Qin Zhibo's field of vision.
If the willpower drops to 0, I believe these branches will completely block Qin Zhibo's vision.
At this moment, a childish voice suddenly sounded, interrupting Qin Zhibo's random thoughts.
