The Grammatical Investigator in Conan

Qin Zhibo's eyes were slightly focused, and while no one was paying attention to him, his body gradually retreated to the darkness in the corner.

Here, he summoned his own [Substitute Messenger], a little black one.

This little black guy is not the bad little black guy who often "commits crimes", but a good little black guy who can train his skills and feed back his proficiency to Qin Zhibo.

In addition to the fixed movements prescribed for training skills, this "little black" can hardly perform other movements, and it is even difficult to serve tea and water.

But Qin Zhibo has a skill called Art and Craft (Puppetry).

This is a skill from the Spider Mansion Murder Case. Puppetry includes puppet making and puppet manipulation.

As long as the skill training of "Good Little Black" is set to Puppet Technique and specified actions, the stand-in user can perform some repetitive actions.

Despite this, the stand-in user still cannot do too complicated things, and it is far less useful than the one in Jojo.

Qin Zhibo made a thought and took the puppet technique as the learning goal of the substitute messenger.

Training moves: Untie the rope...

As the training movements were set, the stand-in squatted behind Qin Zhibo and began to try to untie the rope tied to his wrist.

"Good Little Black" is not as flexible as humans, so this job needs to be done slowly.

But the completely black body blended in perfectly with the darkness in the corner of the room.

In addition, Ya Yuan Huang on the round table was concentrating on the seven-formation ceremony, and the yellow-haired man was assisting him, so he had no time to pay attention to himself.

As long as he untied the rope secretly and waited until the kitchen gas exploded, the chaos caused would be enough for him to take the opportunity to control Yayuan Huang.

Although the witch's magic is very powerful, she is not a male mage like Gandalf after all, and her close combat effectiveness is almost zero.

There are also many restrictions on spellcasting itself, which makes witches try to live a low-key life no matter in the past or in modern times, and they are far from being able to do whatever they want like the people of the motherland.

In film and television works, witches and witches are also subordinate to the powerful and cannot stand on their own.

Because of this, the witch always subconsciously hopes to accept some other powerful attendants.

This is the case for Koizumi Hongzi and Yahara Huang.

Of course, the "other aspects" here also include "that aspect".

Because the witch cannot carry on the family line alone.

…

At the round table, Ya Yuanhuang's ceremony continues.

The seven formations reached the fifth level, and the soul left the body, but it was skipped directly.

The reason is that when Yahara Huang released his soul and penetrated into Koizumi Hongzi's body, it was already considered as his soul leaving the body.

The soul leaves the body and is completed.

The sixth level is to control the flame.

This is the easiest thing for Yahara Huang, who has the body of a witch from the Red Magic clan.

She lightly pressed her fingertips and thought a little, and a flame as big as a soybean appeared on the candle in the yellow-haired man's hand.

Driven by the wax oil, the flames burned more and more fiercely, but they suddenly went out without warning under Ya Yuan Huang's remote wave.

This magic should be good for putting out fires...

Control the flame, complete.

At this point, there is only one final step left - to bring the dead back to life.

Qin Zhibo felt that the ropes at the wrists of his hands began to loosen under the efforts of the substitute, while watching Ya Yuanhuang's every move.

What is she going to resurrect?

The corpse most likely to be resurrected in this room right now is Hirasaka.

Ya Yuanhuang's original body has been decomposing for a year, and it is estimated that there is only a white skeleton left.

The requirements for the witch version of resurrecting the dead are that the injuries should not be too outrageous, such as missing arms or legs. It is best to have organic diseases, tumors, cancers and the like.

If it is a gunshot wound to the head like Shuichi Akai's, it can also be treated, but it requires several green witches with resurrection skills to cast spells at the same time, and a loss of life.

In addition to Yahara Huang's original body, there is also her reincarnated maid's body in the room.

However, this body has only lost its spirit and soul, and is not dead. In Qin Zhibo's eyes, there is no corpse investigation point, so it is probably in a vegetative state.

Just when Qin Zhibo was confused, Huang Maonan gave the answer.

He took out the plastic crisper he had prepared early from his backpack, which contained a dead white mouse.

Opening the lid of the fresh-keeping box, the yellow-haired man delivered the mouse to Yayuan Huang.

Ya Yuanhuang held the mouse in his hands and blew on the mouse's body.

It was like a breath of fairy air. After a few seconds of dead silence, the mouse slowly raised its head and made a squeaking sound.

Ya Yuanhuang returned the resurrected mouse to the yellow-haired man and opened his arms again.

"The performance of the seven formations has been completed!"

"Great God of the Sabbat, please come and crown me!"

All seven corners of the seven-pointed star array have been lit up, and a circle that looks like burning black flames shines brightly on the ground.

The yellow-haired man was obviously shocked by the situation in front of him, and his hand holding the mouse trembled.

The mouse fell to the ground, its four legs moved quickly, and it became free.

Seeing that the Seven Formation Ceremony was about to be completed, Qin Zhibo had not yet untied the rope on his wrist and his hands were still tied.

The stand-in was not very mobile, and the yellow-haired man was tied tightly, so it was really difficult to untie him.

Just when Qin Zhibo could only worry in his heart, the little mouse that escaped ran to Qin Zhibo's side.

Or he happened to pass by Qin Zhibo while escaping.

But what was quite surprising was that the mouse actually stopped after coming to Qin Zhibo's side.

It stood upright, tilted its mouse head, and stared at Qin Zhibo's extremely huge head with its dark round eyes.

That look seemed to say: Lao Da, why are you here?

The mouse stared at it for a long time and didn't move away.

Qin Zhibo raised his eyebrows, guessing that this mouse wouldn't really have any friendship with him, right?

Is it because of the Magic Flute? Have you become a member of the Rat Clan?

Rat clan affinity +100%?

Qin Zhibo thought about it and decided to give it a try.

He spoke angrily, stared at the mouse, and tilted his back.

I'm in trouble, come and help!

Miraculously, after being stunned for a few seconds, the mouse seemed to really understand what Qin Zhibo meant.

It quickly ran to the latter's trouser legs, climbed along the trouser line to the rope, and began to help bite the rope.

Qin Zhibo felt the furry touch in his hand and was deeply moved.

Once you hear the sentence, you will be the boss for life!

I've got this little brother!

However, when Qin Zhibo looked up again to pay attention to the progress of the magic circle, the situation on the field seemed to have undergone some subtle changes.

I don't know when it started, but the light of the black seven-pointed star array gradually weakened.

It was replaced by a red seven-pointed star array superimposed on the black seven-pointed star array, and its brightness gradually increased.

The relationship between the two formations is not only superposition, but also the angles in which the figures are placed are inverse to each other.

Ya Yuanhuang stood on the round table and looked down, just in time to fully capture this situation.

"what happened?"

She looked puzzled and made a puzzled sound.

But the moment she finished speaking, the red seven-pointed star formation actually burst into intense red light, covering up the black seven-pointed star formation.

Ya Yuanhuang herself was still stunned when a powerful invisible force suddenly penetrated her body and reached her soul.

This power seemed to be the palm of the ancient master that knocked the soul of Doctor Strange out of the body when he met for the first time. In an instant, Ya Yuanhuang's soul was knocked out.

Koizumi Hongzi's body suddenly lost its support and fell limply on the round table.

However, all this could not be seen by ordinary people. The yellow-haired man next to him thought that Ya Yuanhuang had fainted on his own, so he hurried forward to ask.

"Xiao Huang! What's wrong with you?"

"Xiao Huang..."

The yellow-haired man shook the girl's arm vigorously. Seeing that his lover did not respond, he became increasingly anxious.

But at this moment, the girl on the table suddenly opened her eyes.

"Take your hands away..."

The girl's voice was very cold, making the yellow-haired man feel like he was facing a stranger.

This made the yellow-haired man startled for a moment. Just as he was about to ask what was going on, a weak voice came from behind him.

"Long Yi, I'm here..."

The yellow-haired man looked back and saw the maid sitting on the ground clutching her chest with a very painful expression on her face.

"Are you...Xiao Huang?!"

The yellow-haired man hurried forward, his eyes full of worry.

After Ya Yuan Huang wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with the back of his hand, he looked past the yellow-haired man and glared fiercely at the girl who was slowly getting up on the round table.

"It's you!"

Koizumi Anko was not frightened by the harsh voice. Instead, an evil smile appeared on her lips and she looked down at Yahara Huang.

"Hmph, it is indeed the same as the result I got from divination before..."

"You're not dead at all!"

What? !

The situation on the field suddenly took a huge turn, making Qin Zhibo, who was observing from the sidelines, somewhat confused.

What does it mean to not die at all?

Wasn't the result of Koizumi Hongzi's divination "Huang Yahara was killed by someone"?

While Qin Zhibo was frowning, Koizumi Hongzi had already walked to the edge of the table, jumped easily, and landed lightly.

Her slender and slender figure is very beautiful. Except for the areas where she should develop, she is perfect in all other aspects.

In comparison, Yahara Huang who fell on the ground was just an ordinary body, not as good-looking as the body that originally acted in the movie.

What's more, at this time, because her soul was damaged, her image was a bit embarrassing.

Koizumi Hongzi looked down at Yahara Huang, with a contemptuous smile on her lips again.

"Actually, before I came here, I had already concluded through divination that you are still alive."

"But I originally just guessed that you were imprisoned here by the owner of this house, so I brought a famous detective with me to rescue you..."

"But after coming here, I slowly changed my mind."

"First of all, the results of tarot card divination all along the way are demons, which has to arouse my vigilance."

"Secondly, the seven-pointed star on the floor of this room is drawn with great care. It doesn't look like it was done by an outsider at all..."

"So, I have a bold guess in my mind that someone wants to use this magic circle to achieve some ulterior purpose tonight."

Koizumi Anko took a step in front of Yahara Huang and Huang-haired Man, looking a bit like a detective conducting reasoning.

"At the beginning, my suspicion was still the owner of this house, Hirasaka."

"But after watching his performance during the séance, I gave up this theory."

"Because as a noble magician, I disdain the use of mechanical props to deceive the world. Only thieves and magicians can do this kind of behavior..."

Kuroba Kaito: No cue

"But besides Hirasaka, who else could it be?"

"After the witch hunting incident, everyone with magic power is very vigilant. It is impossible to reveal magic easily. Even I can't find it..."

"But when I found out that the blonde woman was dead, I suddenly thought of a way."

"That means no matter who is behind the scenes, this person will definitely use the reversed seven-pointed star array in this room."

"In this case, I just need to reset a positive seven-pointed star on top of the reversed seven-pointed star, and set it so that when the reversed seven-pointed star is turned on, the upright seven-pointed star will be activated at the same time to reverse the entire magic circle. , we can stop the conspiracy of the mastermind behind the scenes..."

"Hohohoho-"

Speaking of this, Koizumi Anko smiled her signature smile.

Qin Zhibo in the corner also gained a new understanding of the incident after listening to the entire incident from Koizumi Hongzi's perspective.

The reason why Koizumi Hongzi was able to recover was because the seven-pointed star in the right position reversed the original seven-pointed star formation, causing the spell caster Huang Yahara to be injured, and the soul was forced to eject from Koizumi Hongzi's body.

This upright seven-pointed star should have been set up when everyone went upstairs to check Hirasaka's body and Koizumi Anko said she would stay here alone.

Qin Zhibo also knew something about the reversal of the magic circle.

Reversing the magic circle can also be called the reversal spell. It actually reverses the effect of the magic circle.

For example, various common psychic techniques are also called "inviting magic". As long as the magic circle is reversed, it will become "sending magic", which can send psychic objects away.

There are also the red magic clan's triggering flames and extinguishing flames, which are actually the positive and negative effects of the same magic.

As the heir to the witch family, Koizumi Anko naturally knows these basic knowledge and can use it flexibly.

As for Yahara Huang, a witch who became a monk halfway, she would definitely not be able to learn from the basics, nor would she know that the magic circle could be reversed.

As the magic circle was reversed, the situation in the room was also reversed.

Koizumi Anko crossed her shoulders and looked down at Yahara Huang with a smile on her lips and said proudly.

"Now that your soul is injured, you won't be able to leave your body for a short period of time, and it's impossible to compete with me in terms of magic..."

"So, there is only one way before you, which is to tell you honestly who told you how to complete the seven formations?"

"With your level of dabbler, you definitely can't know such profound knowledge."

Obviously, during the time when Yahara Huangyuan Shen occupied her body, Koizumi Hongzi was able to observe the outside world normally, but she was unable to control her body.

However, Ya Yuanhuang gritted his teeth, the expression on his face was unyielding and unyielding, as if he would not let go.

But Qin Zhibo in the rear thought of this problem and reasoned again in his mind.

To put together this seven-formation ritual, in addition to Yayuan Huang, the ritual performer, it also requires early physical hardware conditions.

Take, for example, the standard reversed seven-pointed star pattern on the floor in this room.

The seven-pointed star pattern itself is difficult to draw accurately because the seven angles are actually different.

If you make even 1° of mistake, the ceremony will fail.

Putting aside witches like Koizumi Anko who have learned magic-related knowledge since childhood, witches like Masahara Huang who have become a monk halfway will definitely make a mistake.

But with the original standard inverted seven-pointed star on the ground, she could draw the standard seven-pointed star formation calmly and accurately.

When he first came to the villa today, Hirasaka said that he had specially built this room for today's spiritual seance ceremony.

That is to say, before this, there was no seven-pointed star here.

Suddenly, Qin Zhibo's eyes were startled.

While he was thinking about this problem, his eyes subconsciously focused on Hirasaka's body on the ground not far away.

But at this moment, he couldn't see the corpse investigation point.

The investigation point on Hirasaka's body disappeared inexplicably.

And "Hirazan" is slowly getting up from the ground...
