The Grammatical Investigator in Conan
Chapter 321 Challenging (zuo) and fighting (si) main quests
From Qin Zhibo's perspective, Ludwig Pulin kowtowed repeatedly.
Baron Samedi slowly lowered his dark palm and covered Pu Lin's shoulder.
The moment his palm touched his body, Pu Lin's breathing stopped and his body began to tremble.
The power of the dark god of death absorbed Pu Lin's vitality. Pu Lin raised one of his palms and saw that the skin on it was aging and wrinkled at a rate visible to the naked eye.
Brown age spots gradually appeared on the wrinkled palms, and the strong blood vessels that were slightly protruding from the skin immediately shrank.
At this moment, the Voodoo believers dressed as African natives all around suddenly bared their teeth and claws.
In an instant, they became extremely active, as if they were participating in some kind of life sacrifice ceremony.
On the dark faces, the mouths were pulled back to an extremely exaggerated angle by unknown forces, forming crazy smiling faces that looked very much like "clowns".
Under Baron Samedi's immediate death contact, Pu Lin's body fell to the ground, his whole body began to twitch, and an indescribable black light emitted from his face.
A metal disc slipped out of the arms of Pu Lin who fell to the ground and fell in front of Baron Samedi.
Engraved on the metal disc is a twisted five-pointed star, with an eye in the middle.
When Baron Samedi saw the metal disc, he suddenly withdrew his dark palm and took a half-step back with a very contemptuous attitude.
As the palm contact left, Pu Lin's breathing resumed, and even the wrinkles on his skin began to soften.
Baron Samedi glanced at Pu Lin with his unfathomable eyes, and then wrote something on the sand with the crutch in his hand.
Afterwards, Baron Samedi drifted into the gloomy cemetery like disappearing clouds.
Pu Lin lay on the ground panting for a long time before gradually getting up from the ground.
He walked awkwardly to the sand where the writing was written, on which was written crookedly - Ita
Qin Zhibo, who is proficient in Latin, knows that "Ita" means "is" in Latin.
Baron Samedi answered the question raised by Pu Lin just now. The Black Pharaoh of ancient Egypt is one of the incarnations of Nyarlathotep.
According to the records in the book, Nyarlathotep is the messenger of chaos in the universe, and his thousands of incarnations carry out the will of the "Lord of All Things" and the "Origin of the Universe" in the vast and vast space.
He is called the "God of Thousand Faces" and the "Walk of Chaos".
Not only Baron Samedi of the Voodoo faith, but also the last pharaoh of the Third Dynasty of ancient Egypt, known as the "Black Pharaoh", they are all incarnations of Nyarlathotep on earth.
If you want to meet Baron Samedi, you can only visit the cemetery and offer him cigars and rum to show your respect.
And any touch from Baron Samedi is fatal, and his touch can take away the life of any creature unless there is enough vitality or other methods to resist his touch.
Old prints are a good way to do this.
Qin Zhibo remembered the pattern on the metal disc that slipped out of Pu Lin's arms. The logo on it was very similar to the pattern on the back of the school badge in his wallet.
Could that be the old seal?
In addition to Nyarlathotep's various appearances and forms, Purin also visited a cannibalistic cult in Cornwall.
Some forbidden experiments are carried out within the cult, including mixing humans and animals, and hunting and killing living humans.
There is also the father god "Yig", a scaly half-snake and half-man, known as the "Father of Snakes" or "Bad Medicine".
The underground world - the snake people in Kunyang regard "Yige" as their father god, and even some Kunyang people also regard "Yige" as their faith.
He is called the "God of Prophecy" together with the dark "Khan" and the snake-bearded "Biatis".
In "The Secret of Worms", Qin Zhibo once again saw the word "Kunyang".
In addition to Kunyang people, Kunyang also has snake people.
It seems that if you go to Kunyang in the future, you should bring some snake repellent powder.
The book also introduces the crocodile god Sebek and the spider god Atrak Nakoa.
These incredible beings often have a close connection with their statues or portraits. Using these statues or portraits, it is possible to communicate with these beings and even summon them.
When Qin Zhibo recovered his thoughts from the pictures depicted in the book and looked up at the clock on the wall, he realized that more than six hours had passed.
This book is much longer than the "Corpse Eating Ceremony" I have read before, so six hours is already relatively fast.
Qin Zhibo tried to stand up from the boss chair, but his body was completely numb and he needed to slow down a little.
At this time, a prompt appeared in the system.
[Reading completed, total loss of 10 will points]
[Acquire 1000 mysterious mythological knowledge skills]
[Congratulations on completing the hidden mission and obtaining the challenging main mission]
[Main mission: Exploring the spider lair]
[Task requirements: Go to the designated location alone, enter the spider lair and escape successfully]
[Task reward: 8000 general skill proficiency, number of draws +2, 700 mysterious mythological knowledge skills]
[Mission countdown begins]
【72:00:00】
【71:59:59】
As Qin Zhibo expected, this reading once again brought him a challenge (zuo) main task (si).
Judging from the richness of the mission rewards, the difficulty of this mission should be much more difficult than the previous cemetery survival night.
Qin Zhibo turned on the navigation device and found the location of the mission mark. It was not in Tokyo, but in a place called "Puppet Ridge" in Tottori Prefecture.
It was getting late now, so Qin Zhibo definitely couldn't set off immediately, so he could only prepare supplies for survival in the wild.
Because judging from the map, this Puppet Ridge is another place where birds don't shit.
Zhibo Detective Agency.
"Today's morning news program is over. Thank you for watching."
"See you tomorrow."
Qin Zhibo turned off the TV, locked the door of the office, hung the appointment book prepared in advance on the door, and set off.
Driving a rented Mazda, Qin Zhibo was riding on a sparsely populated mountain road.
Goguling Ridge is still some distance away from Tottori Prefecture. It is equivalent to the suburbs of Toto in Tokyo and is a suburb.
As we all know, the suburbs of this world are a good place to hide dirt and evil, and some strange legends will always come out.
On the undulating mountain road, the woods on both sides are moving back quickly.
Qin Zhibo's Mazda went straight to the target location marked on the electronic map.
Although this mission has a countdown, it does not indicate a specific time period, so Qin Zhibo plans to carry out the mission during the day.
This can at least provide some psychological comfort.
Drive the car to the mountain road near the mission location, and then you need to take the narrow forest path into the depths of the forest.
Qin Zhibo's physical strength was good and he quickly arrived less than 100 meters away from the mission location.
At this time, Qin Zhibo saw a figure standing in front of a tombstone in the clearing of the woods, mourning silently.
Qin Zhibo, who was hiding behind the tree, took a look at the name above the man's head.
[Name: Robert Taylor]
