The Grammatical Investigator in Conan

insect?

Why can insects chirp so loudly?

Kyogoku frowned, not daring to move his body at all, and carefully listened to the movement outside the tent.

Buzz. Buzz.

Buzz buzz.

Buzz - buzz

The chirping of this insect seems to have a special rhythm that contains a certain meaning. It does not sound messy or continuous.

If you are human, you should speak human language.

But these sounds are neither human language nor sounds that humans can make.

What is it?

Kyogoku really tried his best to keep calm, but he still couldn't help but feel nervous inside.

Although he is an excellent warrior, warriors have always been known for their strong physical and mental qualities.

But that is for a known enemy, a face-to-face enemy, just like a karate competition, Kyogoku is often faced with an opponent whose name is known and whose rank is known.

Rather than some unknown strange existence.

At this moment, even if there is a gunman aiming at his enemy in the head, Kyogoku's brain will not produce more dopamine than it does now.

Because the oldest and strongest fear of mankind is the unknown.

What exactly is that?

It should be a human being, right?

After thinking calmly, Kyogoku still attributed the strange sounds outside to known things.

After all, when a dog barks at the beginning, it is usually humans who act with the dogs.

Maybe these people have discovered the tent here and want to scare themselves in the tent?

At this moment, the sounds outside the tent suddenly became silent.

Kyogoku swallowed the saliva in his mouth, summoned up his energy, and moved his upper body a little, which was a little sore from the stalemate.

With my ears pressed against the tent, the strange noises outside had indeed disappeared, leaving only the howling wind and snow.

At this moment, Kyogoku actually felt that the sound of the cold wind and snow was ten thousand times more pleasant than the unknown sound just now.

have they gone?

But why didn't I hear the sound of leaving?

Still outside?

As a warrior who has experienced hundreds of battles, Kyogoku is really very vigilant.

A common plot in horror movies is that the character thinks that the threat outside has gone, and feels relieved inside. Just when he is about to go out to check, he finds a big scary face looking at him.

In order to avoid being killed in the face, Kyogoku secretly rolled a snowball in the tent and caught it in his hand.

Although the snowball held with gloves is very loose, it will break when hit on the body.

But Kyogoku really used the warmth of his palms to hold the snowball. The inside of the snowball was as solid as possible, and the outside of the snowball was melted into an ice shell with his body temperature.

If this kind of snowball hits a vulnerable part of the body, it will be no worse than a rock.

Before walking out of the tent, Kyogoku Makoto formulated a series of tactics.

If the opponent is five meters away, you can hit the opponent in the head with a snowball, then rush over and subdue the opponent with karate.

If it is within five meters, you don't need the snowball and can directly subdue the opponent with karate.

Although there are rumors in the world that a gun can be fired quickly from seven meters away.

But in fact, at human speed, it is actually six meters away, which is faster than a gun.

In addition, it was a windy and snowy day, and the snow was not conducive to running, so Kyogoku reduced this distance by another meter.

Although I don’t know who is playing tricks on the outside, I want to convince him first.

When the snowball was solid enough, Kyogoku really packed up his equipment and took a ready position in front of the tent zipper to start.

After taking a deep breath, Kyogoku, who was highly concentrated, opened the zipper with lightning speed, and at the same time rushed out of the tent at full speed.

As soon as I rushed out of the tent, my body felt the cold wind outside.

Ignoring the sudden drop in the surrounding temperature, Kyogoku quickly looked around, searching for the target.

But after looking around, the only protrusions on the snow were trees and large rocks next to them.

Kyogoku held the snowball tightly and ran around the stone again, but still found nothing.

"Um?"

Kyogoku was really puzzled. He clearly didn't hear the sound of leaving, but the strange thing that made the sound disappeared.

Kyogoku circled the stone twice more, until the snowball in his hand melted to the point where it was no longer lethal, and he couldn't see anything unusual within the visible range.

Unwilling to give up, Kyogoku took out the lighter from his pocket again, searched for footprints on the other side of the stone, and finally found some clues.

There are indeed some footprints on the edge of the stone, but the types of marks are a bit confusing.

You can see the footprints of a dog. Judging from the size of the footprints, it belongs to a medium-sized dog.

In addition, there are human footprints, and it can be seen that they are two human beings.

There is also a line of dragging marks about 40cm, which came from a place outside the field of vision.

Next to this line of dragging marks, there is a string of strange marks that resemble insect pincers but are 20cm long.

These strange snow marks all suddenly disappeared near the big rocks, without any trace of moving to other places.

"What the hell is this."

Holding the lighter in his hand, Kyogoku really shuddered.

Judging from the human footprints, it was two humans who made the noise just now, and they were most likely the two hunters they met during the day.

But why do hunters make that strange "buzzing" sound?

There are also drag marks and pincer marks on the side.

Why did these marks suddenly disappear next to the stone?

Kyogoku cast a suspicious look at the big rock in front of him.

Touching the surface of the big stone, the cold stone has no warmth at all, and the uneven texture is not a good feeling.

Suddenly, Kyogoku put away the lighter in his hand and assumed a karate charging posture.

"oh--"

After the low roar continued for two seconds, Kyogoku's right leg popped out like lightning and kicked firmly in the middle of the big stone.

Bang——

"呲"

After a muffled sound, the big stone did not move at all. On the contrary, his hamstrings hurt a little, which made Kyogoku couldn't help but click his tongue.

After all, it is a large stone with a diameter of three meters, and its weight of dozens of tons is no joke.

However, Kyogoku was sure that there was no secret door on the surface of the stone, otherwise he should be able to kick it open.

But why did it disappear?

Now, the only possibility that Kyogoku could really think of was that this group of people was walking back in his own footsteps.

Where will it go?

Kyogoku thought about it carefully and suddenly thought of the villa.

The only place to stay nearby is Chuidu Villa. In this kind of weather, they can only go back to the Villa.

These people were making strange noises, dragging something unknown, and their footprints were also very strange.

Kyogoku's eyes widened, and he immediately thought of Suzuki Sonoko who was still in the villa.

Although I don’t know what the purpose of this group of people is, they are very strange and may be detrimental to Yuanzi.

Thinking of this, Kyogoku, who was eager to protect his wife, really didn't care to pack up the tent, turned around and ran in the direction of Fukito Villa.
