The Grammatical Investigator in Conan

In the darkness, the shrunken Moon Beast suddenly twisted its body violently, and a golden spear stretched out like a dragon.

Qin Zhibo's pupils shrank suddenly, and he quickly raised his sword to block.

Bang!

After a crisp metal collision sound, the golden spear in the Moon Beast's webbed hands was swung away, and Qin Zhibo himself was forced to step back two steps by the huge force.

This monster is quite strong...

Qin Zhibo tightened the sword in his hand, but the sound of the skeleton dragging on the floor rang behind his ears.

Not good!

He subconsciously returned his sword and chopped the two skeletons behind him in half.

The gray skeleton instantly broke into two pieces, and fell to the floor with a lot of dust.

But these skeletons are immortal. Even if their bodies are cut off, they still crawl towards him.

Moreover, more skeletons are slowly approaching in the dim cabin, like zombies.

Looking at this scene, Qin Zhibo suddenly felt bad.

He knew he couldn't drag it on any longer.

Once the skeletons behind approach him, he will be attacked from both sides and it will be even more impossible to win.

Judging from the way these skeletons act, they should be controlled by supernatural forces.

And the source of this supernatural power is the moon beast in front of him.

Although this moon beast does not look like an intelligent race that can perform such manipulation, this is just human prejudice.

Qin Zhibo's intuition tells him that even the disappeared Kuroba Kaito was abducted by this monster in the same way as himself.

In this case, he must kill it here today.

Qin Zhibo held the Oath Keeper Sword with both hands, holding the sword body to his side, and leaning forward at the same time.

The next moment, his right foot suddenly kicked the ground and took the initiative to rush towards the gray-white creature opposite.

Although the moon beast has no facial features, the short tentacles on the blunt snout are their organs for sensing the outside world.

The moment Qin Zhibo rushed over, those short tentacles suddenly trembled violently and all pointed in the direction of Qin Zhibo.

At the same time, the webbed hands also grasped the golden spear and stabbed it towards Qin Zhibo's head.

This spear was predicted accurately, and it was not an attack that this seemingly slow creature could launch.

But just when the spear was about to hit, Qin Zhibo, who was running with his body leaning forward, moved half a step to the right like a ghost, just avoiding the sharp spear.

Due to its own length, the golden spear could not be quickly retracted after the strike missed.

Before that, Qin Zhibo had already rushed in front of the moon beast.

He stopped his steps forward, and the oath-keeping sword at his side also swung diagonally from the lower right to the upper left.

"Iai!"

A huge cold light cut across the swollen body of the moon beast, and in an instant, the gray-white flesh bloomed like a flower, and a large amount of light pink blood gushed out of it.

This extremely swift knife made the moon beast have no time to react.

In an instant, the short tentacles used to replace the head trembled wildly, like a stress response caused by huge physical stimulation.

However, before it could realize the extent of the injury to its body, another extremely sharp knife chopped down.

This knife was between the short tentacle and the slimy body.

As the knife was retracted, dozens of pink tentacles fell to the ground.

These tentacles were still twitching on the floor, making a "click, click" sound.

Having lost the important organ that sensed the outside world, the Moon Beast became even crazier, grabbing the golden spear and waving it around randomly.

Qin Zhibo's eyes became even colder, and he chopped forward with both hands, cutting off the thick arm holding the golden spear.

Bang!

The golden spear fell to the ground with the fresh arm.

Having lost this important means of resistance, the Moon Beast almost immediately turned around and fled to the secret space of the cabin.

As it ran, it also let out a low and shrill roar.

But how could Qin Zhibo give it this opportunity?

He chased it and chopped it several more times, and the slimy giant body of the Moon Beast fell to the ground with a bang.

The pink blood flowed slowly, painting the old floor with a bright color.

Looking at the body of the monster that was gradually losing its vitality, Qin Zhibo's heart finally relaxed a little.

Although this race called the Moon Beast is unique to the Dream Realm, it is generally easier to chop than the Mi-Go in reality.

At least in terms of the hardness of the skin, the Moon Beast almost does not have it.

And what I just used was the "Secret Technique·Iai Slash" taught by Ishikawa Goemon.

It's just that in terms of power, it can't be compared with Ishikawa Goemon's version.

If Ishikawa Goemon personally chopped this knife in the real world, it is estimated that even if the size of the Moon Beast expands, it will be cut off with one knife.

Looking at the corpse of the Moon Beast, Qin Zhibo suddenly thought of the skeleton monsters in the cabin.

Looking back, there were many skeletons lying on the floor behind him.

These skeletons were completely motionless at this moment.

Sure enough...

As I guessed, it was the Moon Beast that controlled these skeleton monsters.

The Moon Beast controlled the skeleton to sail the boat, attracting humans on board, and then waited for an opportunity to take humans to the moon as slaves.

Fortunately, I was able to use the Oath Keeper Sword in the Dreamland, otherwise I might have really died here today.

Qin Zhibo stabbed the Moon Beast's body a few more times with the Oath Keeper Sword, and only took the sword back after making sure that this thing would not come back to life.

After he turned back to confirm that the skeleton monster was still motionless, he stepped into the secret space at the end of the ship.

This is a triangular room of about 10 square meters. Although the area is not large, the ceiling is very high.

This is because the length of this room includes both a public cabin on the first floor and a paddle floor on the second floor.

On the floor deep in the room, Qin Zhibo found Kuroba Kaito.

At this time, Kuroba Kaito was still sleeping, with no rope tied around his body. It seemed that he had been in this state since last night.

"Hey, wake up..."

"Hello!"

Qin Zhibo called out twice first, and when there was no response, he patted Kuroba Kaito's handsome face.

Snap, snap, snap.

A few powerful slaps succeeded in awakening Kuroba Kaito.

The two looked at each other, and Kuroba Kaito suddenly shouted.

"dad!"

Hearing this sincere call, Qin Zhibo could only reluctantly nodded and responded.

"Why!"

Kuroba Kaito's face was slightly startled, and he stared at the man in front of him for a long time before he realized what he was doing.

"You took advantage of me!"

"Tch, do I still need to take advantage of you?"

Qin Zhibo looked away with disgust, "I thought you were thanking me for saving your life, so you expressed your gratitude in this way."

"Okay, I'm just being sentimental~"

Kuroba Kaito's eyes blinked several times in succession, and his brain was instantly electrified, and then he remembered what happened before.

"It's a skeleton!"

"I remember running into a bunch of skeletons! It was so scary!"

Kuroba Kaito shouted in horror, his hands shaking unconsciously.

Seeing this, Qin Zhibo quickly held his shoulders and comforted him with a calm tone.

"Quiet……"

"You saw that those skeleton monsters do exist, but they are gone now."

"We actually boarded a pirate ship..."

Qin Zhibo told Kuroba Kaito everything that had happened and the conclusions he had analyzed.

Seeing that Kuroba Kaito gradually understood and accepted these things, Qin Zhibo moved his body away, allowing him to see the moon beast corpse lying at the door.

The corpse looked like a skinned frog, and the surface of the skin had completely lost its slimy color.

Kuroba Kaito stood up slowly while holding on to the wall, and walked slowly to the body step by step.

Although he had seen ghouls before, and saw giant worms in the valley filled with the remains of ghouls.

But when he saw this mysterious creature again, he still felt extremely shocked and incredible.

In addition, there is the inevitable fear that humans face when facing unknown things.

Suddenly, Kuroba Kaito felt his stomach churn.

The form of this creature is almost non-human, and the tentacles that Qin Zhibo cut off on the ground reminded him of a "fish" creature inexplicably.

The short tentacles are fish whiskers, and the gray body is fish meat...

"Yue——"

Kuroba Kaito turned his head to the side and retched facing the floor.

Qin Zhibo patted his back comfortingly, really like a father.

In fact, the existence of each of these mythical creatures is far beyond human understanding, and their appearance is completely different from human aesthetics.

They are ugly, unclean, blasphemous, and should only appear in man's most horrific nightmares.

If Qin Zhibo hadn't possessed 90 points of iron will, he wouldn't have acted so calmly.

"OK OK……"

Qin Zhibo helped Kuroba Kaito up and pointed at the skeletons in the cabin in front.

"Look, those are the skeleton monsters you encountered."

"But now they have lost the support of power and have turned into real skeletons."

Kuroba Kaito has been to the ghoul territory - Xin's Tombs, so Qin Zhibo is not worried that these bones will make him "yue" again.

Kuroba Kaito looked at the bones, seemingly numb, and just nodded blankly.

Immediately, he turned to look at Qin Zhibo.

"Uncle, won't you be affected by these things?"

"Whether it's this time or last time, you were too calm..."

"Well..." Qin Zhibo groaned, "I must be used to it."

Habit?

Kuroba Kaito's expression was stunned. Can he get used to this kind of thing?

If you get used to this kind of thing, you're probably not far away from becoming a lunatic, right?

Qin Zhibo smiled slightly and immediately imparted his experience.

"You need to practice more with this thing~"

“Just practice cooking more~”

"Uncle, I usually watch horror and fantasy movies, so naturally I'm not afraid of them now..."

"Believe me, you can be like uncle~"

Kuroba Kaito's expression was stunned again, and he didn't know what to say.

In the end, he could only give Qin Zhibo a thumbs up.

you are vicious!

…

There was a lively fight in the cabin on the second floor, but it did not affect the sleep of the passengers in the public cabin on the first floor.

In the darkness, Qin Zhibo and Kuroba Kaito worked together to lift the floor door leading to the first floor and returned to the public cabin.

In the cabin, the two quickly woke up other passengers by making loud noises.

In the face of Qin Zhibo's language explanation and the irrefutable evidence of the second-layer paddle layer, the passengers quickly believed everything that happened here.

It seems that moon beasts are very notorious in the dreamland, and many passengers have heard of this race.

It’s just that no one has seen or experienced it.

In other words, those who have actually experienced the moon beast incident have been kidnapped on the moon.

So the secrets on the black galleon can be maintained to this day.

However, as the truth was revealed, the emotions of the passengers were aroused, and complaints, curses, and fears were heard endlessly.

"Damn it! I didn't expect this ship to belong to the damn Moon Beast!"

"Why is this happening? I just want to do some business..."

"What should we do now? Will we starve to death on the sea?"

For a time, the situation got a little out of control.

Just then, a man in the crowd stood on the wooden box, holding a burning candle high in his hand.

"Quiet!"

Qin Zhibo yelled at the crowd, which made the crowd of Liushenwuzhu slowly quiet down.

"Now, everyone, listen to what I have to say."

"The biggest problem we are facing right now is not that the boat loses power. After all, there are so many of us here. Even without those skeletons, we can still row the boat to its destination."

"The biggest problems we face now are food and direction."

"I think you all have prepared food at the right time to arrive in the northern continent. Although you will prepare a few more days' worth, there shouldn't be much left now."

"At this point, we can collect all the food and supplies and distribute them uniformly, so that we can last as long as possible."

"Of course, it's useless to just hold on for a few more days. We still have to reach the mainland before the supplies are exhausted."

"Does anyone standing here know the direction?"

Qin Zhibo frowned and glanced at the dark crowd in front of him, praying in his heart that a miracle would happen.

In fact, even if the ship had no chance of escaping, he and Kuroba Kaito would not die.

Worst case, just delete the file and play again.

But in that case, we have to go back to the Enchanted Forest and start from scratch.

The adventure in Dreamland finally arrived here, and Qin Zhibo didn't want to give up so easily.

Just then, an arm rose from the crowd.

Qin Zhibo's eyes lit up and he quickly raised his finger and pointed over.

"you!"

Everyone also looked in the direction of Qin Zhibo's finger and made way for the man.

The man slowly walked out of the crowd.

Qin Zhibo took a closer look and realized that this person was Augustus Larkin, who he had been chatting with in the past two days.

In the dim cabin, his chocolate-colored skin exuded a dark luster.

"Do you know the direction of this ship?"

Larkin nodded, "I know, since I got on the ship, I have been paying attention to the sailing direction of the ship."

"Actually, we have been heading towards the northern continent..."
