Conan's grammatical investigator

Chapter 270 The Victim Is Conan?

[What is "Shoggoth"? 】

[I still can't understand the meaning of this word until today, but maybe Professor Dale, who is adventuring together, knows all about it]

[Speaking of Professor Dale, his will is much firmer than that of young people]

[As far as I know, after he finished his Antarctic adventure, he is still continuing his adventures around the world, such as a certain desert monument in Australia]

[Professor Dale can successfully escape every adventure, and he didn't die until 70 years old at the age of 94, which is really admirable]

【Because the teammates who followed him on the adventure either got mad or never came back.】

[If you want to ask me where the biological samples obtained after the Antarctic adventure can be seen now, the only thing I know is that all the biological samples were collected by the Amanda Foundation, which sponsored the expedition]

[The founder of the Amanda Foundation, Ms. Amanda Hughes, has never published these biological samples, so the outside world will never know the truth]

[In 1979, I heard that Amanda Hughes was killed in New York, USA, and I wrote this manuscript because I was worried that this history would be completely buried]

[If you feel that the content in it is too crazy and has no credibility]

[Well, take it as a spooky story with a unique style written by an aging "Egg head". 】

-

[After reading, a total of 8 willpower points have been lost, current willpower: 82]

[Acquire 800 points of mysterious myth knowledge skills]

[Congratulations to the Mysterious Myth knowledge skill for improving! 】

【Current Level 3】

[Congratulations on completing the hidden mission and unlocking the main achievement mission]

[Achievement task: personally observe the unknown creature recorded in the manuscript]

[Task requirements: unlimited time, unlimited location, unlimited life and death of creatures]

[Task reward: 10000 general skill proficiency, 500 mysterious myth knowledge skill]

After reading Master Jiangong's manuscript, Qin Zhibo's consciousness immediately returned to his body.

In the familiar study, Jian Gongman, who was leaning over the desk, just finished writing the contract, and called Qin Zhibo over.

"Mr. Qin, do you think this contract is okay?"

Qin Zhibo glanced at the content of the contract hastily, and signed his name directly, without inviting Matsumoto Ryohei to be a notary.

Mamiyaman also signed his name.

After finishing the contract, Qin Zhibo turned his head and saw a golden badge placed on the bookshelf.

Noticing where Qin Zhibo was staring, Mitsuru Mamiya, with a somewhat proud look in his eyes, immediately introduced: "My father-in-law is the first Japanese to land on the South Pole, so he was posthumously awarded the 'National Honor Award' by the ZF."

Qin Zhibo nodded, and at the same time saw the Miskatonic University emblem on the side.

The badge is real, and it seems that the contents of the manuscript are also true.

Including that unknown creature with a five-pointed star head
A new task was unlocked by reading Master Mamiya's manuscript, and the task content was to see the five-pointed star-headed creature described in the manuscript.

You can't go to Antarctica yourself, can you?

Although the time and place of this achievement task are not limited, it seems to be implying that he will go to Antarctica.

But going to Antarctica is not an outing for elementary school students. There are too many restrictions in all aspects. Even if a person spends his whole life preparing, he may not be able to go to Antarctica.

So a more reliable way to complete this task is the six biological samples brought back by the Miskatonic expedition that year.

According to the content recorded in the manuscript, these six biological samples were all taken away by the foundation that sponsored the expedition back then, and their existence was never announced to the outside world.

The founder of the foundation, Amanda Hughes, was killed 17 years ago.

It seems that there is no rush for this task, and it is better to take a long-term plan.
Qin Zhibo put Master Jiangong's manuscript back into the wooden box, picked up another manuscript left by Mr. Zhenzhao, and asked, "Can you lend me this manuscript to read?"

Mamiyaman glanced at the manuscript, "It's fine, as long as you don't take it out of the castle."

"Thank you."

Qin Zhibo held the second unread manuscript in his hand, ready to continue his unfinished business, that is, to find the treasure in the castle.

Just now, in the last paragraph of Master Jiangong's manuscript, Qin Zhibo found that Master Jiangong used the word "Egg head".

According to Qin Zhibo's understanding at the beginning, this word means nerd, which may refer to the study room.

But now it seems that Egg head is actually Mr. Mamiya's self-deprecating statement, referring to himself.

Qin Zhibo remembered that in the hall of the ancient castle, a huge portrait of Master Mamiya was hung on the wall of the stairs on the second floor facing the gate.

Maybe that's where the code word on the chessboard lawn refers.
When Qin Zhibo and Jian Gongman walked out of the study and came to the second floor of the castle, they happened to meet the young detective team and a young man named Jian Gongguiren.

According to Mamiyaman's introduction, Mamiya Nobleman is the child of his wife and ex-husband Mr. Zhen Zhao, who has just returned from studying abroad recently.

From the mouths of these people, Qin Zhibo and Jian Gongman got a piece of news.

Conan is missing.
"Could that guy be hiding somewhere, trying to jump out suddenly to scare us?" Yuan Tai said with a wicked look in his eyes.

Mitsuhiko also echoed: "It is indeed possible, that kid Conan is quite childish sometimes."

"Uh-huh!"

Ayumi nodded in agreement.

The three cleverness turned the disappearance of the child into a child trying to play a prank, leaving Qin Zhibo speechless.

You are the real kids, right?

Conan disappeared, it should be really missing.
The victim this time will not be Conan, will he?
If it was really Conan, then his loss would be great.
Qin Zhibo muttered in his heart, and Hui Yuanai also looked at Qin Zhibo quietly at this moment.

Do you want to tell him that Conan may be trapped in the secret passage of the castle?
In fact, the first time she discovered Conan's disappearance, Haibara Ai guessed that Conan was involved in the secret passage of the castle through the fallen chair and the clock hanging on the wall.

It's just that the nobleman Jiangong came to stop him suddenly, so that he couldn't continue to investigate.

Among the people who can be relied on in the whole house, apart from Dr. A Li, it seems that there is only this Qin Zhibo who was evaluated as a "good guy" by Conan.

In terms of action, Qin Zhibo, an active private detective, should be more reliable than Dr. A Li.

Just when Hui Yuanai quietly walked to Qin Zhibo's side, and was about to reach out to pull Qin Zhibo's clothes, a voice came from behind everyone.

"Everyone, dinner is ready."

Ayumi wanted to find Conan before eating, but Matsumoto Ryohei said in relief: "Please rest assured, that kid with glasses likes my food very much."

"As long as he can smell the aroma of food, he will come out by himself"

At the same time, Conan, crouching in the darkness, sniffled and slowly opened his eyes.

It's the smell of food
Is it time for dinner?
