The Grammatical Investigator in Conan

"You are the King in Yellow!"

The scarred man's eyes were swollen to the extreme, and his bloodshot eyeballs were staring at the scene in front of him that made people fall into endless madness.

The yellow tatters that fell to the ground with the scarecrow actually floated up in the wind, covering the man in front of him with layers of smooth silk that were full of vitality.

The animal bones scattered on the surrounding ground were crushed into powder by invisible forces, flowing towards the man's face, forming a pale mask on it.

That supreme elegance was actually stained by his own dirty skin!

"No!"

"What have I done!"

The scar-faced man loosened his hands tremblingly, and the sickle in his hand fell to the side of Qin Zhibo's head with a clatter.

Qin Zhibo looked at the scarred man who was retreating in fear and felt very strange. He had clearly had the opportunity to kill him just now.

When Qin Zhibo got up from the ground, the scar-faced man became even more frightened and frightened.

He bowed and backed away like a humble and pitiful dwarf elf servant. This cowardly image was completely inconsistent with his height of more than two meters.

Qin Zhibo didn't understand what he saw in his eyes, but Qin Zhibo looked around and saw nothing but the yellow scarecrow lying on the ground.

In order to prevent the scar-faced man from suddenly attacking again, Qin Zhibo glanced at the sickle that fell on the ground and felt that a crowbar was more convenient.

So, Qin Zhibo took out the crowbar from behind and held it with both hands.

But with just this magic trick, the scar-faced man fell to his knees in fear.

Because in his eyes, the King in Yellow under the Holy Light pulled out the ugly and malleable tentacles from his cuffs.

"I confess to you!"

"The Supreme Indescribable, the Unnameable God!"

"Please forgive me! I am your most devout believer!"

The huge body of the scar-faced man knelt on the ground, like a staircase made of flesh.

Qin Zhibo looked back again to confirm that there was nothing behind him that could make him fake.

But it can be heard from his words that the scar-faced man regards himself as the King in Yellow.

"Give me your knees and don't stand up."

"Yes! I will obey your will!"

"Don't even raise your head!"

"As you wish!"

The scarred man's voice trembled with fear, because this terrifying and beautiful whisper was exactly what countless believers longed for.

And he was lucky enough to hear it! What a worthy end of the journey!

Now, he could feel the terrifying tentacles wandering around his body, and the sinister flesh and blood was gently stroking his neck like a mother's hands.

But from Qin Zhibo's perspective, he just used the crowbar to tentatively hit the bloated body twice.

no response

Next, Qin Zhibo made a bolder move, slowly extending his palm to the rough neck where the dirt was deeply embedded in the flesh.

When the prompt for the main mission appeared, Qin Zhibo quickly pulled his hand back without wanting to stay for a second.

At this time, an idea suddenly appeared in Qin Zhibo's mind, and he looked up at the dome above.

A darkness from deep space gurgled on the ancient stone walls until it covered the entire dome.

In the star-studded universe, a light blue storm set off in the vast universe, and the rumbling sound echoed in the gaps of the gradually changing blue.

The unknown celestial body dropped a light orange light, like the holy light surrounding God, crowning Qin Zhibo's face.

Later, Qin Zhibo felt as if something unrestrained but real existed on his face, peeling off like silk from a cocoon.

He quickly looked down and found a small pool of pale bone powder scattered under his feet.

When I turned around and looked again, all the animal bones that had adorned the yellow scarecrow's body had disappeared.

Seeing this, Qin Zhibo raised a hand to scratch his face in fear.

The skin on his face was almost lifeless cold.

Qin Zhibo: Will -20

Detectives Cole and Martin soon brought in a large number of police officers to search the Childress home.

They soon discovered physical evidence related to a large number of previously missing persons, sufficient evidence to bring charges.

Kudo Yusaku followed the police force into the scene to investigate, and casually turned out a notebook on the pile of books next to the entrance to Childress' house.

A nameless sacrifice.

Opening the cover of the old notebook, Kudo Yusaku saw a ritual circle and many instructions with twisted handwriting.

The tripod of thorn wood symbolizes the crown and the antlers represent the coronation.

The ceremony requires kneeling down and offering sacrifices.

When the sacrificial ceremony begins, a radius of 100 meters will become the interface between Carcosa and the earth, and the King in Yellow will descend on the sacrifice in the holy light.

The sacrifice must be someone who firmly believes in the King in Yellow. People who do not believe in it cannot become a sacrifice.

The most joyful sacrifice for the King in Yellow is to lead from disbelief to a state of belief. This is the "Advent Ceremony".

Kudo Yusaku glanced at Cole Rust, who was investigating on the other side of the living room, and quietly tore off the page of notebook paper and put it in his pocket.

At this time, Qin Zhibo returned and called the police officers to go to his newly opened map.

In the cave near Childress's house, the policemen were all astonished as they looked at the scarred man kneeling on the ground devoutly.

"What's wrong with him?" Detective Martin asked Qin Zhibo.

Qin Zhibo shook his head and pretended that he had just arrived here.

The other police officers tried to pull the scarred man up from the ground, but the scarred man refused to obey, shouting that he was obeying His will and could not get up from the ground.

"Him?"

The policemen looked at each other, but they didn't take it that way.

Each of the six policemen grabbed a part of the boy and dragged the boy with the scarred face out.

Because the scar-faced man was too tall to be forced into the police car, the police called a small tow truck and tied him to the tow truck to forcefully drag him away.

During the journey, no matter who told him not to kneel, he refused to obey.

Also includes Qin Zhibo.

Looking at the scar-faced man who was still kneeling before being dragged to the trailer, Qin Zhibo's system sent a prompt.

[Congratulations on completing the side mission]

[Task settlement rating: C++]

[Acquire 2000 general skill proficiency]

[Get 100 social credits]

[Rating reward: 1000 general skill proficiency]

Qin Zhibo was very satisfied with the fact that he gained 3,000 general skill proficiency points in one side mission, and it was not in vain that he traveled 3,000 kilometers and took a whole day.

At this moment, the phone in Qin Zhibo's pocket rang, and the voice on the other side of the phone was devoid of any human emotion.

"Where are you now?"

Qin Zhibo could tell that it was Mr. Clock's voice.
