Chapter Eighty-Seven: The Vault of the Armed Fortress - The Ark

The tripartite cooperation was reached, so Zero continued to look at the painting.

It would be great if you could reveal the secret of the painting on the spot, and save yourself from taking it with you.

If you can avoid stealing, it's better to avoid it as much as possible, otherwise you won't have a position to stop Kidd and other strange thieves in the future.

But after looking at this painting up and down, left, right, and right several times, he still didn't find anything, so Zero asked Fujiko: "Miss Feng, where do you think the so-called treasure information will be, or does that treasure information really exist?" ”

Fujiko was also observing the painting at this time, but like Zero, he never saw any fame. Hearing Zero's question, he couldn't help but hesitate, although Lupin said that his sources were reliable, who could be sure that there would be no mistakes.

If there is no treasure information on this painting, then I will not be busy in vain.

Fujiko pulled out a small ultraviolet searchlight and prepared to shine it on the painting, perhaps with ultraviolet light if the treasure was added with some special ink.

Kaito stretched out his hand to stop Fujiko's behavior, the damage to the paint from ultraviolet rays is very severe, and if there is no treasure information on the painting, using ultraviolet light to shine like this will affect the quality of the painting.

"Mr. Strange Thief, now is not the time to act as an artist to protect a work of art." Fujiko, who was stopped, said to Kaito with a little dissatisfaction.

"Perhaps, you don't need to use ultraviolet light." And it was at this time that Zero finally noticed that something was wrong in the painting.

In this painting, the knight kills the demon with his sword, and the demon is bloody, staining the knight's body, so that a lot of blood is painted in the whole painting.

But among these bloodstains, the color of some places seems to be ...... Something is wrong......

"Do any of you have luminol reagent on you?" Zero asked Kaito and Fujiko.

Both shook their heads, who would carry that kind of thing with them?

Fujiko asked, "You want the luminol reagent, is there a strange ...... in the blood on the painting?" ”

Zero nodded.

Fujiko thought for a moment and said, "Although I didn't have the luminol reagent with me, I could find someone to bring it to me." ”

"You're not going to keep looking for Lupin, are you?"

"Look at what you said, I have a lot of connections, can't I find anyone else to help except Lupin?"

"But it's the middle of the night...... And if it drags on too long, if these guards wake up......"

"Then knock me out again." Fujiko said casually, then took out her phone and stood at the edge of the exhibition hall to contact someone.

About half an hour after the contact was completed, Fujiko's mobile phone rang, so Fujiko connected the phone and had a conversation with the other party.

It turned out that the other party had already gone outside the museum, but there was no means to climb onto the roof.

Fujiko gave the general situation a break, and then said, "I'll go out and pick it up." ”

Zero asked, "The other party is an ordinary person?" ”

"It's a patrol minister in the Metropolitan Police Department, and it's an inside line that I developed in the Metropolitan Police Department, I'm a little smart, but I'm a little less skilled." Fujiko said as she pointed to the hook rope tied around Zero's waist, "Anyway, Miss Kaneda, lend me your hook." ”

"What do you want my hook for?"

"Crawl out of the hole in the roof with a hook. I can jump in from the rooftop, but I can't jump out, and I don't have the monster-level bounce of Goemon. When we came, we climbed up to the roof with Lupin's hook, and now that Lupin has been taken away by Goemon, I can only borrow your hook from Miss Kaneda. ”

"Okay." Zero handed the hook to Fujiko, who used the hook to get out of the roof.

After waiting a few more minutes, Fujiko returned, with luminol spray and a set of painting tools in hand. No one else followed, apparently Fujiko had chased the man away after taking what he wanted. It's really a poor tool man, and he runs errands for nothing in the middle of the night.

Looking at the painting tools in Fujiko's hand, Zero was a little puzzled: "These are ......?" ”

"After spraying luminol reagent, don't you still have to do the restoration and restoration of the painting?"

"You're going to get it?"

"Understand."

After saying that, Fujiko took the luminol spray and sprayed it at the bloodstained part of the painting.

Kaito hesitated, still trying to stop Fujiko, but seeing that Zero was also waiting expectantly to see the result, he finally forgot it.

One woman is not easy to mess with, and two women are even more unprovoked.

After the luminol reagent was sprayed up, there was a reaction, and I saw a line of words coming out of the blood stains on the original knight's armor.

ARK NO.27 ZD493PO8

Sure enough, as Zero expected, someone used real blood to leave a message on the location of the bloodstain on the painting, and when the blood dried up, it merged with the original bloodstain on the painting. Although the blood turns black when it dries, the blood of the demon in the painting is originally dark red, and the overall color of the painting is dark, so it is really difficult to see the abnormality if you don't look closely. And now when I try it with luminol spray, the real blood traces are fluorescent.

However, Zero looked at the letters and numbers with unknown meanings, and was even more confused, what does this mean?

Instead, both Kidd and Fujiko had a look of surprise and shock on their faces.

"You two understand what that means?" Seeing the expressions of the two, Zero couldn't help but ask.

Fujiko seemed to be thinking about something, and didn't answer Zeroko's words.

After hesitating for a moment, Kaito said, "ARK, I should refer to the world's largest armed fortress-type insurance vault, the Navaron Ark. ”

"Navarron's Ark?" Zero seems to have heard the name in the news.

"That's right, the Ark of Navaron is an armed vault built at great expense by the Tycoon Pramouk, which contains countless small vaults where many dignitaries and wealthy people in the world store their private belongings or treasures. The security of the Ark is among the best in the world, so there is no need to worry about the risk of theft. At the same time, the ark is also known as the Graveyard of Strange Thieves, because since its construction, there have been strange thieves who have tried to challenge it, but they have all been killed. ”

"Killed?"

"On the surface, Pramouk is the richest man in the world, but in fact he is the leader of the world's largest arms dealers organization and the godfather of the underworld.

Zero nodded and asked, "So, the string of letters and numbers after the ARK is the number and password of one of the vaults?" ”

Kaito said, "It's very likely. ”

What is hidden in this painting is not some treasure information, but the number and password of the vault.

"But why is the vault number and password written on the picture in blood?"

Fujiko finally answered: "I'll be in charge of investigating the reason for this." ”

Zero nodded, took out his phone, and filmed the message.

After that, Fujiko Mine took out her paintbrush and paint and began the restoration of the painting.

The restoration of the painting lasted about two hours, during which time the guards woke up one after another, and they were all embarrassed to faint again.

After the restoration was completed, Zero looked at the painting, and the information that had been revealed before had been re-covered with paint, and the whole painting looked the same as before. From now on, this information is completely obscured, and it can never be reproduced again.

Zero praised Fujiko: "I didn't expect you to have this kind of ability." ”

Fujiko smiled and said in a charming voice, "There are still many things you don't know." ”

Kuaito looked at the communication between the two, and suddenly thought of an idea, between these two people, should it be......

Kaito couldn't help but imagine the scene of two beautiful women lying naked on the bed, you and me, blushing slightly, and hurriedly twisted his head to the side, so as not to let Zero notice his strangeness at this time. Because he felt that once Zero realized his thoughts at this time, he would definitely unceremoniously wave his fist at himself.

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€” plot dividing lineβ€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”

When everything was done, everyone left the museum.

When Zero returned home, it was half past two in the middle of the night, and after secretly looking at Ersan and Maya, and after making sure that they had no signs of waking up in the middle of the night, he lay down under the covers with confidence.

Ever since he learned that the hidden information was the vault number password, Zero has been less interested in it. If it's a wild treasure, it's okay, but what is hidden in the vault is obviously the owner's possession, and maybe it has been taken by the original owner.

I slept until about nine o'clock in the morning, and Zero was woken up. As soon as he opened his eyes, he found that Ersan's head was dangling in front of his eyes.

"Really, sister, although it's summer vacation, you're sleeping too late!"

Zero naturally wouldn't say anything about hanging outside in the middle of the night, so he showed an apologetic smile to Ersan.

Wake up, wash up, eat breakfast, these are not detailed.

The upgrade of the system has been completed, so after breakfast, Zero sneaks into the fitness room.

"Sister, after breakfast, it's time to exercise againβ€”β€”! The shouts of the second and third came.

"Got it!" Zero answered, she hadn't planned to exercise immediately.

Zero called the system lady out to check the system.

After the system is upgraded to level 4, there are two more contents: the task panel and the skill shop, and if you want to continue to acquire skills in the future, you can only buy them from the skill shop.

Start by looking at the Tasks panel, which has three tasks to choose from.

Task 1: Make any character reach S+ intimacy with the host. Reward: 9 Skill Points.

Task 2: Crack any major case. Reward: 3 Skill Points.

Task 3: Make a dish that has been praised by 50 people. Reward: 3 Skill Points.

The first task, Zero, gave up as soon as he saw it. The intimacy of S+ is too difficult, and even the intimacy of the second and third to themselves has been stuck in A+, so if you want to give an S- goal, I can still work hard.

As for the third task, what the hell is that? Although I can cook myself, what is the standard of super praise? And fifty super reviews? PASS!

Therefore, Zero naturally took on the second task, 3 skill points, which is not less.

After receiving the task, Zero asked the system: "Little sister, how can this task be refreshed?" ”

"The host can only take on one task at a time, and after completing the task, new tasks will automatically be added. If the host of the three tasks is not satisfied, you can actively refresh it, and all three tasks will be replaced. However, active refresh can only be used once a week. ”

After taking the task, Zero continued to check the skill store, only to see that there were four skills in the store.

Two-day first-class swordsmanship outline (growth skills) - After learning, the host can master the two-day first-class swordsmanship essentials. Cost: 8 skill points.

"What does this growth skill mean?" Zero asked.

"Like the skills obtained by the previous host, they are divided into LV1 to LV5 levels, and they are upgraded with upgrade points. Growth skills, on the other hand, do not have a hierarchy and require the host to progress through their own practice. Take this swordsmanship compendium as an example, the two-day first-class is a school created by Miyamoto Musashi, if the host learns this skill, the two-day first-class practice method will be reflected in the host's mind, and the host will continue to improve his swordsmanship level through hard practice. ”

"I see." Zero replied and continued to read.

Qiankun Great Shift (Growth Skill) - After learning, the host can master the Qiankun Great Shift Technique. Cost: 10 skill points.

After seeing it, Zero said "Huh", and then his heart was overjoyed. The great shift of Qiankun is the top mastery of Jin Yong's martial arts, if he masters it, he will not be invincible in the world, and then what Kyogoku is true and what Ishikawa Goemon is not his opponent.

However, at this time, the system poured cold water on it: "Don't be delusional about the host, the great transfer of Qiankun requires extremely deep internal skills to practice." You don't know any internal skills, so practice yarn. ”

When Zero heard this, the enthusiasm in his heart quickly cooled down. Although what Miss System said is not good, it is indeed right. Zhang Wuji relied on Jiuyang Divine Skill to be able to move the Qiankun to the seventh layer, and others like Yang Dingtian and the like, the level of internal force was also good, but it was only practiced to the fourth layer. If you let yourself learn this, I'm afraid that if you can't learn the first layer, you will go crazy and die.

No way, just read on.

Jiuyang Shengong (growth skill) - the host can master Jiuyang Shengong after learning. Cost: 999 skill points.

Just said that cultivating the Great Shift of Qiankun requires deep internal strength, and as a result, the Jiuyang Divine Skill appeared immediately! However, before Zero could be happy for a second, when she saw the expense, the excitement she had become again suddenly dissipated, and the whole person withered like a frosted eggplant.

"System, is the price of this Jiuyang Divine Skill wrong?"

"There's nothing wrong with that. How could a peerless martial art like Jiuyang Divine Skill, which could make the host greatly transcend the strength system of this world after completing the cultivation, be cheap? ”

Zero really wants to spit out the fragrance, even if he does a lifetime of tasks, he doesn't know if he can save so many skill points.

"Then why does Qiankun only charge 10 skill points?"

"Without deep internal strength, the Great Shift of Qiankun is a useless skill, so the charge is not as exaggerated as Jiuyang Divine Skill."

Well, you are the system, you have a point in what you say......

I also said before that the task gave a lot of rewards for 3 skill points.,Now it seems,That's really a little pitiful.,Okay.。 Not to mention Jiuyang Divine Skill, even if it is a two-day first-class swordsmanship compendium, it takes 8 skill points to buy it......

No longer entangled in Jiuyang Divine Skill, Zero Zi looked at the last skill.

Godspeed (Active Skill) - The name of the Dark Thought Skill can activate the skill, and the self movement speed +11%, attack speed +31%, and attack power -11% within 8 seconds after the skill is activated; Ability cooldown: 750 seconds. Cost: 5 skill points. (Note: This skill cannot be combined with other move skills)

After three growth skills in a row, there is finally an upgraded active skill, this "god speed" skill is still a very useful skill, but it also requires 5 skill points, and you have to complete at least two tasks yourself to be able to afford it.

But......

"Little sister, what does the last sentence 'this skill cannot be used in conjunction with other move-type skills'?"

That's exactly what it says. For example, if you learn the 'Godspeed' skill, you will not be able to use the Pegasus Comet Fist active skill for the duration of the skill's effect, and the passive boost of Elbow Strike will be canceled and will not be restored until 8 seconds have passed. ”

I see...... Zero pondered darkly.

PS: Pramouk and Navaron's Ark are the characters and facilities in Lupin III's live-action theatrical version of Cleopatra's Necklace.

PS2: I subconsciously thought that Heavenly Punishment was a normal-sized painting, but recently I re-read the comic of the Conan Museum of Art Case, and found that it was a rather large painting. Mori Kogoro and others look very small standing in front of the painting, judging by the proportions, the painting is two or three meters wide and seven or eight meters high, and it is precisely because of this size that the painting looks particularly shocking. When Xiaolan saw the painting, the first sentence that came out of her mind was "What a big painting!" ”

It's impossible for such a painting to be stolen by one person.,So there's a bug in the plot.。 So let's just assume that "Heavenly Punishment" in the world of this article is a painting that is slightly larger than ordinary and can be moved by one person......

PS3: The luminol reagent reacts with the iron in hemoglobin to identify the blood stains, and when I was halfway through writing, it suddenly occurred to me that there seems to be iron in the pigment, so will it be buggy again, and the luminol reagent is sprayed and the result is fluorescent...... So I quickly went to check, according to the results, iron red powder is a pigment that contains iron, but the pigment is generally only used as a base color, and other red pigments should not contain iron. But I'm not a professional in this area after all, and the so-called check is just Baidu, and the investigation is not very serious, so I can't be sure...... In short, let's just assume that the paint in this painting does not contain iron......
