Conan's grammatical investigator

Chapter 321 Challenging (zuo) Battle (si) Main Quests
From Qin Zhibo's perspective, Ludwig Prin bowed down again and again.

And Baron Samedi slowly lowered his dark palms, covering Pulin's shoulders.

The moment his palm touched his body, Pulin's breathing stopped suddenly, and his body began to tremble.

The power of the dark god of death absorbed Pulin's vitality. Pulin raised one of his palms and saw that the skin on it was aging and wrinkling at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Brown age spots gradually emerged on the wrinkled palms, and the strong blood vessels that were slightly protruding from the skin just now shrank immediately.

At this moment, all the voodoo believers dressed as African natives suddenly barked their teeth and claws.

In an instant, they became extremely active, as if they were participating in some kind of life-sacrificing ceremony.

On each of the dark faces, the mouth was pulled back to an extremely exaggerated angle under the blessing of some kind of force, forming crazy smiling faces, very much like "clowns".

Under Baron Samedi's immediate death contact, Pulin's body fell to the ground, and his whole body began to twitch, with an indescribable black light emitting from his face.

A metal disk slipped out of the arms of the fallen Pulin and fell in front of Baron Samedi.

Inscribed on the metal disc is a twisted five-pointed star with an eye in the center.

When Baron Samedi saw this metal disc, he suddenly withdrew his dark palm and stepped back half a step with a very contemptuous attitude.

As the palm contact left, Pulin's breathing resumed, and even the wrinkles on his skin began to smooth out.

Baron Samedi glanced at Pulin with his unfathomable eyes, and then wrote something on the sand with the crutch in his hand.

Afterwards, Baron Samedi drifted into the shadowy cemetery like a vanishing cloud.

Pulin lay on the ground panting heavily for a long time, and then gradually got up from the ground.

He walked awkwardly to the sand where the writing was written, and it 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 Pulin just now. The ancient Egyptian black pharaoh 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 known as "God with Many Faces" and "Crawling Chaos".

Not only the Baron Samedi who believed in Voodoo, but also the last pharaoh of the third dynasty of ancient Egypt, known as the "Black Pharaoh", they are all the incarnations of Nyarlathotep on earth.

If you want to see Baron Samedi, you can only be in the cemetery, and offer cigars and rum to him to pay your respects.

And any contact of Baron Samedi is fatal, his touch can take the life of any creature, unless there is enough vitality or other methods to resist his touch.

The old seal is a good way.

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.

Is that the old seal?

Besides the various looks and forms of Nyarlathotep, Pullin also visited the cannibal order in Cornwall.

Some kind of taboo experiment is carried out inside the church, which mixes human and animal blood, and carries out activities of hunting and killing living people.

And then there is Father Ig, a scaly, half-snake, half-man known as the "Father of Serpents" or "Bad Medicine."

The underground world—the snake people in Kunyang regard "Yig" as their father god, and even some Kunyang people also regard "Yig" as their faith.

Together with the dark "Khan" and the snake-bearded "Bayatis", he is called the "God of Prophecy".

In "The Secret of the Worm", Qin Zhibo saw the word "Kunyang" again.

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 Sebek, the crocodile god, and Atrak Nakya, the spider god.
These incredible beings often establish a close relationship 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 regained 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 Canon" I have read before, so six hours is considered relatively fast.

Qin Zhibo tried to stand up from the boss's chair, but his body was completely numb and he needed to slow down a bit.

At this time, the system just appeared a prompt.

[After reading, a total of 10 willpower points will be lost]

[Acquire 1000 mysterious myth knowledge skills]

[Congratulations for completing the hidden mission and getting the challenge mainline mission]

[Main task: Exploring the spider's lair]

[Task requirements: go to the designated place alone, enter the spider's lair and escape successfully]

[Task reward: 8000 general skill proficiency, number of lottery draws +2, 700 mysterious myth knowledge skills]

[Mission countdown begins]

【72:00:00】

【71:59:59】

As Qin Zhibo expected, this reading once again brought him a challenge (zuo) and challenge (si) main task.

Judging from the richness of the mission rewards, the difficulty of this mission should be much more difficult than the previous Graveyard Survival Night.

Qin Zhibo turned on the navigator and found the place marked by the mission. It was not in Tokyo, but in a place called "Puppet Ridge" in Tottori Prefecture.

It was getting late now, and Qin Zhibo would definitely not be able to set off immediately, so he could only prepare the 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 show is over, thank you for watching"

"I'll 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 galloped on the sparsely populated mountain road.

Puppet Ridge is still some distance away from Tottori Prefecture, which is equivalent to the suburbs of Dongdu in Tokyo and belongs to the suburbs.

As we all know, the suburbs of this world are good places to "hide the dirt", and there will always be some strange legends.

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 there was a countdown timer for this mission, it didn't mark a specific time period, so Qin Zhibo decided to choose a daytime time for the mission.

This can at least get some psychological comfort.

Drive the car to the mountain road near the mission site, and then you need to take the narrow forest path into the depths of the forest.

Qin Zhibo's physical strength is good, and he quickly arrived at a place 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 open space of the forest, mourning silently.

Qin Zhibo, who was hiding behind the tree, looked at the name above the man's head.

【Name: Robert Taylor】
