The Grammatical Investigator in Conan

[It is a mountain range where all the peaks are black, but there is no snow at the extremely high altitude. There seem to be two smoking flames in the mountains that span both sides of the field of view]

[At that time, I, including many people including Professor Dell, regretted that I could only squat in front of the ticker and listen to Professor Lake's description to satisfy my inner desire for adventure, because it was a world that might exceed the Himalayas. First altitude]

[If I can follow Professor Lake and become the first Showa man to climb that mountain, then my news will spread back to my hometown, and my father, mother, brothers and sisters will all be proud of me! 】

【But at the same time, I will also become a martyr.】

[The next day, January 24, the snowstorm intensified and we lost contact with the secondary expedition team led by Professor Lake]

[Crazy storms are raging on the Antarctic frozen soil, and many people, led by Professor Dell, have many terrible speculations about the fate of the secondary expedition team]

[January 25, 7:15 AM, the storm subsided, and we decided to quickly set off to the latitude and longitude coordinates sent by Professor Lake to carry out rescue]

【After four and a half hours of flight.】

Qin Zhibo experienced the perspective of Mr. Mamiya, riding on an old-fashioned airplane from the 1930s and looking into the distance.

It is a jagged mountain range made up of countless hideous peaks, with glittering clouds of ice crystals setting off these eerie peaks.

The bare, nightmarish peaks are like doorposts marking the entrance to the abyss of hell, vicious and dangerous.

Continuing to fly forward, the plane gradually approached those black peaks, and the glue-white sky suddenly melted away like cream ice cream, turning into a strange mirage.

The mirage is located between the chaotic ice crystal clouds on the mountain peaks. In the strange mirage that vaguely emerges, you can see some weird spire structures and a chaotic maze connected by fortresses and high walls.

If you look carefully, you can even see a large number of buildings with five-pointed star domes in the maze, just like some big stars covering the beach at low tide.

[It does not have any sense of beauty, it is a mirage so menacing that it makes people shiver]

[It was later proven that my evaluation of it was not wrong]

Next, we will enter some trivial memoirs of Mr. Mamiya again.

[After cruising in the sky for several hours, we finally located Professor Lake’s camp after the blizzard cleaning]

[In Professor Lake's situation, what awaits us is...]

Qin Zhibo once again returns to the perspective of Master Mamiya.

In the dilapidated camps left behind after the raging blizzard, what was found were not frozen humans, but people and dogs whose corpses were twisted to the extreme.

Torn tendons protruded from under the damaged skin, and there were even humans cut in half by something delicate.

The men were treated like livestock, stacked alongside sled dogs that were also twisted and torn apart.

[I believe that a snowstorm cannot do such delicate work]

Qin Zhibo looked at the scene in front of him and knew that it was a hundred times worse than any corpse at a murder scene he had encountered so far.

Fortunately, after maybe one day or two days of drying, the bloodiness on it has been reduced a lot under the cover of ice and snow.

In the sight of Mr. Mamiya, some people with weak nerves around him ran to the side and vomited.

Mr. Mamiya, on the other hand, stood there blankly, probably out of fright.

[The remains of these corpses are difficult to distinguish not only between humans, but even between humans and dogs, so we can only temporarily put aside the idea of ​​​​separating their flesh and blood tissues in detail and continue to search the camp]

[In the half-collapsed tent, we found the body of Professor Lake himself]

Qin Zhibo looked at the curly-haired man in the tent who was hung on the beams of the tent like pork in a slaughterhouse, with a head shape that looked a bit like a curly blessing. He thought of the man in the Wutian Dog case who was hung like sausages on the beams of the training room. Old abbot.

It's just that the curly-haired man whom Mr. Mamiya calls "Professor Lake" is not treated as a human being at all, but as a beast to be slaughtered or an experimental subject.

His clothes were stripped off, and his skin and flesh were carefully cut open with dissection tools. Some of the tissues inside were scattered on the ground, and some fragments were placed on a kerosene lamp nearby and roasted into charcoal.

Judging from the horrified and distorted expression on his face, he was not anesthetized when he was treated like this, but was alive and well.

[There are still many strange phenomena in the camp, such as the disappearance of an assistant, a large amount of supplies, and a sled dog. However, when we discovered some strange five-pointed star cemeteries near the camp, all the strangeness seemed to be solved]

[Those terrible grave mounds were piled with ice and snow in the shape of a five-pointed star, six in total]

[After we dug up this strange vertical tomb, we finally saw the strange creature that Professor Lake mentioned in his report two days ago]

Qin Zhibo looked at the creature in front of him. Although he couldn't feel his body, his self-consciousness could experience the shock of seeing something shocking.

This is a winged creature with a trunk like a spindle barrel. In the middle of the trunk, there are some relatively slender tentacles extending horizontally.

The top of this creature is a five-pointed star structure that is hanging powerlessly. From the middle of this structure extend five ciliated siphons, and at the bottom are the ax legs of the shell-like creature.

Without seeing it with his own eyes, Qin Zhibo would not be able to construct a reliable image of a creature through a single description of these strange structures.

But through Master Mamiya's memories, Qin Zhibo found that this strange and complex creature had a sense of déjà vu.

This feeling comes from the strange creature - Mi-Go - found near the temple where the foggy dog ​​haunts.

It's just that Mi-Go is still active in unknown dark corners of the world until now, and has left behind derivative legends such as "Fog Dog".

The origin of this creature may be too ancient. No one had seen its existence before the Miskatonic expedition.

[Next, Professor Dell decided to take his assistant Danvers to continue searching for the only missing team member in the camp]

[The remaining team members, including me, followed Professor Dale’s instructions and buried the corpses in the camp on the spot, and brought the unknown biological samples and rock samples dug out from the five-pointed star grave back to the southern base]

[As for the adventures of Professor Dale and his assistant Danvers in the Black Mountains, I don’t know]

[But the poor guy Danvers got mad less than a month after returning to Arkham Town after his adventure ended, and was admitted to Arkham Asylum]

[I visited him in a lunatic asylum before I left the United States after studying abroad. But at that time, it was difficult for him to communicate with others. He just kept repeating "all eyes", "squirming black", "Tekeli" and so on. words]

[According to the psychiatrist in charge of him, when he occasionally returned to normal consciousness, he would say that he had seen "Shoggoths\
