The Grammatical Investigator in Conan

"Look ahead!"

"Stop the car quickly!"

Qin Zhibo floated in the air in a translucent state, shouting towards the van below.

Two seconds later, the front of the moving van suddenly shook, drifted 90°, and stopped at the edge of the cliff.

The people in the car seemed to be safe and sound. The passenger door below opened immediately and a person stepped out.

Naturally, this person is also "Qin Zhibo", but he is the "Qin Zhibo" of the past.

At this time, Qin Zhibo, who was floating in the air, suddenly realized that the shout that suddenly appeared was actually from him.

Is this a closed loop of time and space?

It is the future self that affects the past self; it is also the past self that makes the future self.

In other words, although I am in a state of consciousness now, I do exist in the past, and I can also affect what happened in the past to a certain extent.

This is the power of Liao Dan...

While Qin Zhibo was thinking, thick black fog rose again from the forest below.

The Hounds of Tindalos are following again...

Although Liaodan travels significantly faster, the Hound of Tindalos will never lose track of its prey.

Qin Zhibo hasn't thought of a response yet, so he can only leave first.

Floating in mid-air, he continued to move forward. With each step he took, he could fly hundreds of meters away.

Moreover, the scene of the sky is also rapidly flowing backwards in the process.

Every time the sun rises in the west and sets in the east, it means that time goes back one day.

Qin Zhibo is not yet a mature time traveler. He has not mastered the essentials of time travel and cannot go wherever he wants.

He could only move forward based on his own feelings.

He kept walking like this until he saw the steel forest beyond the mountains.

Among the tall buildings that stand like a forest, the most representative one is the red TV tower.

This is Tokyo?

Am I back in Tokyo?

Qin Zhibo overlooked the endless traffic of the driveway below. The dense flow of people was like a group of hard-working ants surging in the gaps between the buildings.

Especially when this surging process is accelerated a thousand times, the human beings on this earth cannot even be described as ants, but are weaker existences than ants.

bacteria?

Qin Zhibo put away his reverie and continued walking forward.

Unconsciously, he came to a somewhat familiar place.

here it is……

Shuyu's house.

There were many forensic police officers busy in the huge mansion, and the front entrance of the mansion was surrounded by police cars and reporters.

This seems to be the first case I have encountered, right?

It is also the place where dreams begin...

If I remember correctly, the murderer was Souha Tsunori, and the deceased was his partner, a bank president.

As for the method...

While Qin Zhibo was reminiscing, he saw Kudo Shinichi and Mao Lilan walking out from behind the mansion from a bird's eye view.

Kudo Shinichi held Mao Lilan's hand and peeked out his head at the back door to look around.

After not finding the reporter, he quickly ran away with Mao Lilan.

Qin Zhibo then remembered that although Kudo Shinichi was responsible for the reasoning in this case, he had found the evidence first.

Therefore, Kudo Shinichi did not regard this case as his own credit, and chose to avoid reporters and leave quietly.

how to say?

At this time, Kudo Shinichi looked a little "cute".

Qin Zhibo smiled knowingly, but at the same time he was a little regretful.

That is, I didn’t see the moment when Kudo Shinichi turned into Conan.

Although I have never discussed this issue with Conan, as long as I do a little research, I will know that Kudo Shinichi suddenly "disappeared" after the roller coaster murder case in Dorobiga Land.

It would be great if I could travel back in time to take a look at that event. It would be very exciting...

Just as Qin Zhibo was about to leave, the back door of the mansion was opened from the inside again, and another person walked out.

This man was wearing a brown trench coat, with a desolate look on his face, looking around, walking and stopping as if he was distracted.

This person is "Qin Zhibo".

Qin Zhibo looked at "Qin Zhibo" below, feeling a little speechless in his heart.

I didn't expect that my performance when I first arrived was so poor. I didn't look like a famous detective at all.

Oh, no... At that time, I was just a down-and-out detective who just happened to solve a case.

But I can’t blame myself for this.

At that time, when I first came to China, I felt unfamiliar and uncomfortable with everything around me, and I became timid. This is normal.

"Qin Zhibo" below first opened his wallet and confirmed the money inside and the address on his driver's license, then stopped a taxi on the side of the road and headed towards Zhibo Detective Agency.

Qin Zhibo subconsciously wanted to follow him, but as soon as he took a step, he immediately overtook the taxi and the sky became brighter.

Unfortunately, I traveled back in time again...

In the current situation, if you want to stay at one point in time and observe, the position in space cannot be moved.

Otherwise, the timeline will move forward along with the space and cannot be adjusted back.

This also leads to the fact that if you want to use Liao Dan's ability to go back to the past and accomplish something specific, it depends on luck.

And as long as you move fast enough, you can return to the earth in the ancient times.

It is estimated that many time travellers, out of curiosity and to satisfy their desire for exploration, traveled to the earth in the ancient times, encountered the hounds of Tindalos, and were hunted down.

Of course, Qin Zhibo could not let himself go forward to the ancient earth.

But he really couldn't think of any good way to get rid of the hound.

At present, it is difficult for physical attacks to affect the hounds of Tindalos.

Then that leaves magic attacks.

But if you want to use magic attacks, you must use magic circles.

In his current state of consciousness, it is difficult to create a reliable magic circle, unless he borrows an already existing magic circle.

Go to Koizumi Anko’s house?

Koizumi Hongzi is a serious witch. When she has nothing to do, she will also play with various magic circles, practice channeling, summoning and so on.

But what if when I arrive at Koizumi Anko's house, she happens to not be practicing the magic circle?

With Koizumi Anko's witch physique, it would be troublesome if she could sense the presence of the Tindalos Hound.

Because hounds have this strange characteristic, it's okay if you don't notice it, but once you notice it, you will be targeted.

After thinking about it, Qin Zhibo decided not to bring this big trouble to Koizumi Hongzi.

But where can we lead the "dog"?

Qin Zhibo thought as he walked, and unknowingly he came to a more familiar place.

The street below is where the Zhibo Detective Agency is located.

My office...

Eh?

Suddenly, Qin Zhibo thought of the huge magic circle drawn on the floor in the closed room on the third floor of the office.

I once took the parchment on which this magic circle was drawn to Koizumi Anko for appraisal, and learned that the symbols on it belonged to "The One Who Unifies All Things", a god with powerful power.

If this magic circle is real...

Qin Zhibo had some fantastic ideas in his mind.

He quickly descended, passed through the building, and reached the third floor of the office.

The decoration here was similar to the first time I saw it. It was very simple, as if it had just been moved.

There were several discarded wine bottles on the floor, as well as used toilet paper, baseball bats, crumpled bills and other debris.

Qin Zhibo didn't stay too long in the living room and went straight to the room with the magic circle painted on it.

But in just a few steps, the sky outside the window quickly darkened, and time went back again.

He walked through the door and saw what was inside the room.

At this time, dim candlelights were being arranged on the magic circle.

This also resulted in the magic circle being the first thing that caught the eye in this empty room.

The magic circle is composed of several huge circles. Circles of different sizes are interlaced and superimposed on each other, like countless bubbles gathered together.

In the center of the magic circle, there is an eyeball-like pattern composed of indescribable strange shapes.

In the dark corner of the room, the figure arranged all the candles in his hand, lit them one by one, and then sat cross-legged on the floor.

This person is none other than "Qin Zhibo", but he is controlled by the original owner of the body.

He looked dull, looking at the magic circle on the floor, wondering what he was thinking.

Beside his knees were the parchment with the magic circle drawn on it, and some straw paper.

From a distance, it seems that there is something written on the papyrus, but it is not full.

Qin Zhibo did not dare to walk over and take a look, because he was afraid that time would go back again and go back to a time when this magic circle did not exist yet.

But there was no need for him to read it. He had already read the content above.

Those were some crazy statements made by the original owner complaining that he was being disturbed by a certain existence and could not get rid of it in his dream.

He may have created this magic circle in order to escape from the nightmare.

But the original owner may also be trying to fight against it.

Because he also left behind words that “transcend time and space and turn things around”.

While Qin Zhibo was thinking about what the original owner had done, "Qin Zhibo" in the corner seemed to finally make up his mind and stood up from the floor.

He raised his hands above his head, took a deep breath, and began to chant.

Although the voice has become muddy due to long-term alcoholism, you can still vaguely distinguish the English syllables with a Hawaiian accent.

"Listen to my call...Lord of the Endless Void, Shifter of Planets, One of All, Transcendent, Source of Strength, Lord of Fear, Victor of Glory, Son of Folly, Father of Blasphemy, Nameless Mist, God of multi-dimensional space, God of the outermost dark space, Keeper of secrets, Solver of mysteries, God of omniscience, God of spheres, God of doors, Ancient Eternal One, God of future and time, Tavel· Art Umr, Avgormon, Yog-Sothoth..."

"Your servant is begging you! Please show yourself!"

"Qin Zhibo" was seen chanting this long and complicated list of names while raising and lowering his hands rhythmically.

His posture is a bit weird, but it also seems like he is performing some kind of dance.

However, when all the hymns were recited, nothing happened around them.

There was silence in the room, the candle still burning fully.

No effect……

Qin Zhibo also looked around and confirmed that nothing happened.

The magic circle must have failed...

Qin Zhibo was a little disappointed, because he also wanted to stand from the perspective of a bystander and see what this magic circle could do.

In other words, what did the original owner do with this magic circle?

And if this magic circle works well, I might be able to use the magic circle to summon the All-Unionizer to drive away the Tindalos hounds.

Don't the Hounds of Tindalos hope to be aware of their presence as "prey"?

What if the object of its awareness is a "god"?

Qin Zhibo was very curious about this, but unfortunately, the summoning ceremony of the original owner failed.

But at this moment, the original owner raised his hands again and began to repeat the long list of eulogies just now.

"Are you coming again?" Qin Zhibo frowned slightly.

But if you think about it carefully, for ordinary people without magic power, the probability of successful casting of this kind of magic circle is very small. How can it be done without trying it a few times?

"Listen to my call..."

The chanting was going on, and suddenly, in the darkness of the corner, a strange black mist "drilled" out from the corner.

Qin Zhibo's face was shocked, and he realized that the Tindalos hound was catching up again.

This guy is really haunted.

Qin Zhibo gritted his teeth and looked at the original owner of the body who was chanting.

He chanted with his eyes open, but his sight did not notice the black mist in the corner at all, which meant that he could not see the Hound of Tindalos.

So for now, all I have to do is continue to run away.

But if we continue to escape like this, when will the escape end?

This magic circle is certain to exist right now. If you miss it, you won’t know when you will encounter it next time.

And judging from the fact that he had interfered with the "self" in the past and prevented the van from falling off a cliff, even in a conscious state, he could interfere with the past to a certain extent.

In this case, why not try summoning it together with the original owner?

Oh shit!

Fight!

Qin Zhibo was heartbroken and imitated the original owner, raising his hands.

At the same time, he also chanted along with the rhythm of the original owner.

"...the god of the outermost dark space, the keeper of secrets, the solver of mysteries, the god of omniscience and all-seeing, the god of the sphere, the god of doors, the eternal being of the ancient times..."

The strange thing is that Qin Zhibo just listened to it once and was able to recite it completely and fluently.

At the same time, another "self" voice vaguely sounded in the original owner's ears, chanting the same content after himself.

This wonderful feeling was something I didn't have when I tried it just now.

This made him more confident and his voice suddenly became louder.

"Your servant is begging you! Please show yourself!"

"Please show up!"

Qin Zhibo and the original owner had just finished speaking, and the next second, a clear roar suddenly sounded in the sky.

A purplish electric light pierced the sky, passed through the dark altocumulus clouds, passed through the streets and windows, and poured into the eyeball pattern in the center of the magic circle like a flint.

At the same time, the rickety body of the Tindalos Hound completely emerged from the black mist in the corner.
