Conan's grammatical investigator

Chapter 240 The Ubiquitous Alma Mater...

Qin Zhibo stroked the stubble that had no time to take care of it for three days, and said, "Snake"

"Is there anything else besides that?"

"For example, why do they want to stop you from stealing gems? Do they also want to steal gems and sell them?"

Hearing the word "also" in Qin Zhibo's words, Kuroba Kaito was a little upset.

please!When will I steal gems and sell them?
but
"Those people should not steal gems for sale"

Kuroba Kaito held his chin in thought, recalling the situation that day.

"Snake handed the gem to a bald man in a kimono, and the bald man mentioned 'that gentleman'."

"He said 'that gentleman' could get gems but not lives"

"He also said that the mystical gemstones scattered all over the world possess a power beyond the reach of human intelligence and beyond name."

"According to legend, every 10,000 years when Halley's Comet closest to the earth returns to the earth, Pandora, the stone of life among the gems, is dedicated to the full moon, and the stone of life will shed tears."

"And if you drink the tears, you will live forever."

Speaking of this, Kaito Kuroba felt a little hot on his face.

Looking back now, these words are quite secondary
Immortality can be achieved by finding mysterious gems. This is not even a legend, it is just like a fairy tale.

The difference between legends and myths is that legends have historical stories as their source, exaggerated and exaggerated by later generations, and finally evolved into legends.

Myths, on the other hand, are completely fictitious creations, without a shred of truth at all, and most of them involve the worship of superpowers and illusory fantasies.

In Kuroba Kaito's cognition, the reason for this organization to collect gems is entirely to realize an impossible myth.

Although it feels a bit magical realism, Kaito Kuroba has to accept this fact.

Because this organization killed his father precisely for this nonsense reason, and continued to collect super gems in the world at all costs.

At this time, Qin Zhibo on the side was also thinking carefully about the information revealed by Kaito Kuroba.

First of all, it is worth noting that Mr.
Qin Zhibo remembered what Xia Mei said in the car, which mentioned the Baron.

According to the previous reasoning, this baron is very likely to be the leader of the Beast Brotherhood, and he is an old man over a hundred years old.

If "that gentleman" refers to him, then he is in desperate need of the legendary stone of life that can give people life-Pandora.

When one has a position of power, money, and all that money can buy, it is indeed time to think about gaining a more permanent life.

This human habit started thousands of years ago
The gentleman: "I want to live forever!"

Qin Shihuang: "I am the same!"

It's just that from the perspective of methods, the Baron of the Brotherhood of Beasts has found a more specific method instead of refining illusory elixir of life.

Halley's Comet Returns to Earth Every Ten Thousand Years
and many more!

Doesn’t Halley’s Comet come back every 76 years?

Qin Zhibo immediately raised this doubt, while Konosuke Terai took out a laptop from behind the bar in due course, opened the relevant webpage and began to explain.

"Sir, the one you are talking about is Little Halley's Comet, which was discovered by the British astronomer Edmund Halley. It does return to Earth every 76.1 years."

"And there's a good chance those people said 'Big Harley.'"

This time it was Qin Zhibo's turn to be puzzled, because this knowledge was beyond the scope of ordinary people's cognition.

"What is 'Big Halley'? Are Comet Halleys still divided into sizes?"

Konosuke Terai pointed to the computer page and said, "In 1888, the Planetarium of the University of Brichester announced the discovery of another comet that was about to return to Earth."

"They called it the 'Big Halley' comet, and calculated that the volume of the comet is far larger than that of Little Halley, and it returns every ten thousand years. Once it returns, it will affect the Earth's magnetic field and lead to the mass extinction of life on Earth."

"The return of Comet 'Great Halley' caused the Ice Age 10,000 years ago."

After hearing Terai Konosuke's explanation, Qin Zhibo felt very nonsense.

This is like the 2012 doomsday prophecy that was played badly in the future, it is simply nonsense.

Although the ice age 10,000 years ago sounds scary, in fact, people with some common sense know that the earth has experienced dozens of ice ages or even more.

The reasons for this are very complicated, but it is definitely not the return of comets that triggers changes in the Earth's magnetic field.

Thinking in his heart, Qin Zhibo looked at the webpage that Terai Konosuke jumped out of.

The webpage is in pure English, but for Hawaiian Qin Zhibo, reading it is as easy as drinking water.

The theory mentioned above is that the return of Comet Halley will drive the position of the stars in the entire solar system and even the Milky Way to change.

Then there's another set of inexplicable theories from Barabara.

For example, the demise of the legendary continent of the North, Sybril, was caused by the return of Great Harley.

However, Qin Zhibo knew that Hiberia was a place name in Greek mythology. Like the lost city of Atlantis, it was not a place name that could prove its existence.

But it is such a ghostly paper that actually appeared in one of the world's top academic journals, "Nature".

The most bizarre thing is that the publisher of this paper, the Planetarium of University of Brichester, actually hand-painted a pencil drawing and put it in this paper as a vision of Great Halley's Comet.

It was a hand-drawn drawing of a planet. It was different from other planets in that it depicted a somewhat naughty big eye in an anthropomorphic way.

draw eyes on the planet
Is this drawing a manga?
"This kind of paper can be published, this is simply a group of mental illnesses," Qin Zhibo sighed.

Terai Konosuke and Kuroba Kaito nodded in agreement, and said, "Actually, this paper has caused a huge response once it was published."

"Many big figures in academia criticized this as deviant, and the university and the University of Brichester jointly held a debate to refute this insult to academics in person."

"It's just that before the debate officially started, an explosion occurred in the hotel where the debate team of the opposing university was staying, and all members of the debate team were killed."

"There has never been anyone who has publicly spoken out against Great Halley's Comet since then"

"However, the University of Brichester did not publicize the discovery of Great Halley's Comet. Few people now know about Great Halley's Comet."

Terai Konosuke shared the information he had found, which made Qin Zhibo feel that there was definitely a shady scene behind it.

"So, which university's debate team was blasted by physics?"

Konosuke Terai thought for a moment, then murmured, "It seems to be a secret."

"Should it be called Miskatonic University?"
