Conan's grammatical investigator

Chapter 328 "Takeda Misa"

Atrak Nakya, the legendary god of spiders, is regarded by his worshipers as the ruler of all spiders.

In the whole "Secrets of Worms", the description of spiders is only this part.

In addition, this main mission is extended through "The Secret of the Worm", so the "Spider Fairy" circulating here probably refers to the Spider God.

According to Ludwig Pulin, Atlach Nakya was a giant spider with a human-like face.

This is similar to the legend that the "Spider Fairy" in Puppet Ridge turned into a human form and bewitched travelers.

To establish a connection with such gods, the method introduced in the book is to use statues or portraits.

Now that the statue of "Spider Fairy" has been borrowed, Qin Zhibo needs another thing.

Passing through the courtyard, Qin Zhibo came to the workshop of the Takeda family, and took out the life-sized puppet that was placed in the corner.

Yesterday, because Robert confessed to the police that Takeda Shinichi used puppet products to sell drugs, those elaborate puppets were taken away by the police.

The remaining big puppet was used in the village's previous celebrations, but since the death of the old head of the Takeda family, no one in the village has been able to control this puppet.

Coupled with the loss of population in Puppet Ridge, even celebrations could not be held these years, so this puppet can only be left in a corner to collect dust.

According to legend, the puppeteer used this puppet to attract the "Spider Fairy", so Qin Zhibo planned to use this puppet to try.

Qin Zhibo had already greeted Takeda Yuzo before, and now he can directly move the puppet to Mazda's co-pilot.

With two items in hand, Qin Zhibo stepped on the accelerator and headed towards the mission location.

It was almost noon when they arrived near the mission location.

The sun was shining at noon, which was more in line with Qin Zhibo's wishes.

Qin Zhibo first placed the statue of the Spider Fairy on the ground, then arranged the fishing line controlling the life-sized puppet, hung it on the treetop, and wound the other end down.

In this way, Qin Zhibo can hide behind the tree and manipulate the puppet with the help of a fishing line.

On Takeda Shinichi's body last night, Qin Zhibo acquired the skills of puppets, including puppet making and puppet manipulation.

Although it only has level 1 proficiency, it can at least be operated, and it should be enough to fool spiders.

After arranging these, Qin Zhibo put on the magic power extractor and started to cast spells.

Ludwig Prin was a magician, so what he recorded in the book is also the magic trick.

Qin Zhibo stood in front of the statue of the Spider Fairy, cleared his throat, and suddenly raised his arms and shouted.

"Listen! Spider God!"

"Listen! Atlach Nakya! I call your name!"

"Climb up from the junction of eternal darkness along the spider's web!"

After saying this, Qin Zhibo immediately ran to hide behind the tree trunk.

The so-called "invoking the gods" is "reading with emotion" in the eyes of others, but only Qin Zhibo knew that the magic value in the magic power extractor suddenly dropped by 10 points.

This means that the "reading" just now did consume mana.

In fact, in addition to the corresponding magic spell and the magic power to cast the magic spell, there are other prerequisites for performing the magic spell.

For example: For the spider god, a statue or portrait representing its belief must be prepared, and the place where the divine spell can be performed can only be near the spider's lair.

In this way, the call of the divine spell can be transmitted to the dark and lightless world underground.

Qin Zhibo was hiding behind a tree, quietly watching the puppets in the open space.

With the rhythm of the fishing line on the puppet's body joints, the puppet, which is almost as tall as an adult, can make some movements similar to human pacing, and the range of pacing back and forth does not exceed 50cm.

Qin Zhibo's level of puppetry is still low, coupled with the poor conditions, it is already the limit to be able to do this.

The divine spell has been confirmed to be sent out. As for whether the spider god responds to his call, it depends entirely on luck.

The luck on Qin Zhibo's character card is 35, which is generally lower than ordinary people.

But whether the spider god responds to the call, or not, it seems that it is not a good thing
Qin Zhibo watched the movement in the open space, and suddenly felt a little itchy on his neck.

With a casual pat on the neck, a strange clammy feeling bloomed in the palm of his hand.

Shrinking his hands, he saw that he had actually slapped a spider on his neck to death.

Oh, it's a spider
Qin Zhibo took out Kudo Shinichi's handkerchief without changing his face, and wiped off the disgusting pus on his hands and neck.

According to the plot of a normal horror movie, above the protagonist's head at this time, he must be able to see a spider with a bloody mouth hanging upside down above his head.

But Qin Zhibo looked up naturally, and there was no "scary" picture as he imagined.

Dozens of silk threads with dots of silver light fluttered slightly under the green shade.

When I looked closely, it turned out that dozens of spiders were hanging down from the treetops along the spider silk, like special forces parachuted one by one.

Qin Zhibo quickly bent down and moved his position, avoiding these spiders, and stood in a safe position.

When he looked back to the open space again, Qin Zhibo was surprised to find that there was an extra person out of thin air.

The elegant kimono was slightly loose, with its open hem fluttering in the breeze, and a pair of bare feet on the grass.

It was a beautiful female face, and she smiled like a flower under the bright afternoon sun.

The woman walked towards the puppet in the middle of the open space with slow steps, and slowly raised one arm to wrap around the puppet's neck, with a dangerous and ominous atmosphere permeating the puppet's neck.
Qin Zhibo frowned slightly, using his investigative vision to observe in secret.

The woman's long hair fluttered slightly, and her identity information hung above her head:

Name: Misa Takeda

Gender: Female
Age: 26 years old

It's Misa Takeda!
According to the findings released by the police, Misa Takeda committed suicide, but in fact it was a suicide where no body was found.

At this time, Qin Zhibo did not see any investigation points for corpse investigation on Takeda Misa, which indicated that she was still alive.

Is she really not dead yet?

Qin Zhibo temporarily suppressed the surprise in his heart, hid behind the tree and continued to wait and see what happened. The fishing line in his hand also unknowingly relaxed, making the puppet completely empty.

In the open space, "Takeda Misa" had an indescribably weird expression and movements, and his gestures were not very elegant.

On her neck, Qin Zhibo vaguely saw an irregularly shaped scar.

"Misa Takeda" doesn't even realize that what she's dealing with is a cold puppet, which is problematic.

Different from the legend, "Takeda Misa" did not say provocative words throughout the whole process, but just made movements similar to "bear rubbing against tree" around the puppet.

After a while, she suddenly picked up the puppet in one hand and ran towards the woods.

Qin Zhibo stopped hiding, and immediately got up and chased after him.
