Conan's grammatical investigator

"I said I was lost, would you believe me?"

Looking at Conan with a hippie smile, the smile on Qin Zhibo's face became much smaller, and his eyes were bent into slits.

"Uncle believes in you, so uncle will take you to find your sister Xiaolan now."

Conan: "..."

Just like that, Conan was picked up by Qin Zhibo with one hand like a little chicken, just like Mori Kogoro often did.

"What about...Uncle Qin, and brother Yingyou?"

"He's on the phone, wait a while."

"Oh, so who is he calling?"

"Here..." Just when Conan thought his "Answer All Questions" skill had been activated, Qin Zhibo changed the subject, "I'll tell you if you guessed right."

Conan flicked a half-moon eye.

This set again.

……

Back at Suzuki's villa, Sonoko had almost heated up the dinner.

Suzuki Ayako dragged her sick body and put the dinner on the table, and Qin Zhibo also went to help.

In the middle of the show, Mao Lilan and the handsome guy with long hair ran in from the entrance panting.

"There are bandage monsters in the forest!"

"He's back! It's Takahashi who's back!"

The two spoke their lines one after the other according to the script and screamed.

"What? Takahashi dares to come back!"

"What should we do now? He must have come back for revenge..."

Everyone else in the villa knew it was a script, so they behaved relatively calmly. Only Suzuki Ayako was so frightened that the plate in her hand fell to the ground.

slap.

A good plate of sushi fell to the floor and was smashed.

"what!"

Yuanzi hurried over to comfort the elder sister, and said at the same time, "There are so many of us here, so I forgive him for not daring to come over!"

"Let's eat first, then go down the mountain, let the police come and arrest him..."

Yuanzi was very stubborn, and everyone else agreed.

……

The sky outside the window has completely darkened, and the time perfectly restores the time when Ryoichi Takahashi controlled the doll that looked like a bandaged monster and flashed past the window.

The next plan was the same as before. The Suzuki family hired an actress who looked like Chikako, pretending to be wrapped up by the bandage monster, and flashed in front of the window.

Then Qin Zhibo chased him out, caught the bandaged man, and rescued him, so that Suzuki Ayako could see him.

In this way, a picture of justice defeating evil was formed in her mind, which might be able to replace the original bad memory.

When everyone sat down at the dinner table, only Suzuki Ayako still looked out of her wits.

But at this time, everyone also found that there was another chair that was empty.

"Eh? Where's Yingyou?"

"Didn't he go out with Mr. Qin?"

Mao Lilan looked at Qin Zhibo, but Qin Zhibo didn't know either.

According to the time, he should have returned by now.

"Could it be that besides being confused, he is also a bit of a road-crazy person?"

"That child may be possible, everyone should go out and find him first..."

A large living person was lost invisibly, and everyone didn't want to eat, so they went out to look for it immediately.

……

In the forest, Sonoko called his subordinates who were lurking in the forest, but no one saw where the boy had gone.

There is no way, the original plan can only be canceled and turned into a search for the missing person.

Because Suzuki Ayako was unable to move, she could only wait at home, so Sonoko asked one of her men to guard the villa to protect her elder sister.

The rest of the group went in pairs to find the missing Hondo Eisuke.

Qin Zhibo and Conan first came to the open space where Hondo Eiyo called, and found that there was no one in the open space.

Seeing this, Qin Zhibo put on his gloves and began to use the object-finding spell.

Conan next to him saw Qin Zhibo put on gloves and thought he had found Hondo Eisuke's body, so he prepared for an autopsy.

Conan, whose eyesight is not so good, immediately looked serious, and hurried to the front to check.

But after turning around in the grass, no body was found.

Looking back, Qin Zhibo was still standing there, but closed his eyes.

"Ok?"

Qin Zhibo here, closes his eyes and thinks about Hondo Eisuke's appearance in his mind, a boy wearing glasses, blue cat eyes, two strands of hair hanging by his ears...

But when the magic power extractor prompted [Magic power -1], Qin Zhibo didn't get any feedback of inspiration.

Check no such person.

Can't find the object-finding spell?
Normally, the object-finding spell is very useful for searching for unique things within a radius of several kilometers.

What's more, there aren't as many people here as in downtown Tokyo. Maybe it's a popular face like Kudo Shinichi, and you can find several similar ones at once...

Should be easy to find here.

unless……

Qin Zhibo's eyes became serious, and he thought of the worst idea.

Unless, Hondo Eisuke is no longer in this world.

The so-called not in this world does not mean that the person is dead, because even if the person is dead, the object-finding spell can still find it, but it is just a corpse.

But if Hondo Eisuke is out of this dimension, it will be different.

The only strange place in this area is the cemetery on the back hill.

Hondo Eisuke probably went there!
Thinking of this, Qin Zhibo didn't dare to delay, and hurried towards that direction.

Seeing that Qin Zhibo seemed to have a certain direction, Conan from behind wanted to catch up, but he didn't have enough footsteps, so he lost it not far away.

……

Under the guidance of the navigator, Qin Zhibo stepped on [Golden Chelsea] and almost ran in a straight line, and soon came to the slope of the back mountain.

Seeing the darkness in the valley, Qin Zhibo knew that he had arrived at the cemetery.

He put away the [Golden Chelsea] that could easily deform his body, and first observed it on the hillside.

In the weeds on the edge of the hillside, Qin Zhibo saw through the vision of the night vision device that someone stepped on the weeds until they reached the gap at the edge.

These weeds are highly resistant to lodging, and these overwhelming marks can only be recent.

Hondo Eisuke might have lost his way, and accidentally rolled down the hillside.

Qin Zhibo hurried down from the hillside and came to this cemetery that he planned to explore only in the middle of the night.

……

The air around was cold and damp, with ankle-high mist hanging over the cemetery.If it weren't for the simple tombstones erected in the soil, you might think that you have come to some fairyland on earth.

The fog does not settle in a certain place, but slowly flows in one direction, just like dry ice on the stage.

The source of all the white mist is the cellar where the ghoul crawled out last time.

A small half of this cellar was built on the ground, and the other half was buried in the soil, and there were clumps of weeds growing in the gap at the junction.

The dark green moss is mixed with unknown white fluffy mold spots, which are distributed layer by layer on the broken wooden boards.

This makes it difficult to have other feelings besides the word "disgusting".

The white mist flowed out from the opened cellar door like a trickle.

And in the cellar, there is boundless darkness.

From these darkness, came the endless dead silence, and the unpleasant smell from the fermentation of fishy rot.

Qin Zhibo stared at the cave, and some bad thoughts were born in his heart.

When I left here last time, I obviously closed the cellar door.

But now the cellar door is open, not only that, but the hidden space under the cellar is also revealed.

Qin Zhibo looked up at the sky, and the bright full moon hung in the night sky.

This burrow may only appear on the night of the full moon, and at other times it is a solid ground that is so ordinary that it cannot be more ordinary.

Hondo Eisuke probably entered here...

Although Eisuke Hondo often seems to be confused and his luck is not very good, his curiosity and desire to explore are still very strong.

But as the saying goes, curiosity killed the cat.

But this is the end of the matter, I have to find a way to get people back.

Qin Zhibo turned on the night vision device, and tentatively stretched his feet into the darkness.

As the right foot stepped on a solid ground, the system issued a new task prompt.

【The mission has started】

Ignoring the mission prompts, Qin Zhibo firmly stepped into the cave.

From the perspective of a third party, his body "wheezed" into the darkness, as if he had crossed an invisible door that isolated the world.

……

After entering the darkness, Qin Zhibo heard a slightly ear-piercing whistling sound, accompanied by a certain kind of glimmer of light constantly shuttling back and forth in front of his eyes.

This state may only last for a moment, or it may last for a long time.

In short, when Qin Zhibo's vision returned to calm, he was already in a huge and boundless dark space.

What's even more strange is that the field of vision of the night vision device is invalid here!
Qin Zhibo's eyes could only see clearly within 2 meters with the help of a faint light that came from nowhere.

Further outside, no matter whether it is upward, left or right, the place beyond 2 meters is a darkness with floating dust.

"here it is……"

Qin Zhibo tried to use the [Nuclear Lighter], but it still didn't work.

This place is very similar to the world of the original "Cocoon" game, and all system props whose effects are directly fed back to the real world are prohibited.

If so, isn't this the real world?
Qin Zhibo had some guesses in his mind, but he couldn't verify it yet.

However, if it is a real-world object, it should be able to bring it in instead.

Because Qin Zhibo checked his body, he didn't come in naked, which meant that the real items he carried with him could come in instead.

If I knew it, I would have taken a torch...

Qin Zhibo complained from the bottom of his heart, but there was nothing he could do. He didn't know that this situation would happen next.

Even if you quit now and start over, there is no way to leave the space behind you.

However, since the system task allowed him to come in and explore, there must be a way to leave, Qin Zhibo was very sure of this.

……

In the darkness, Qin Zhibo walked forward cautiously.

Even though he knew that Hondo Eisuke should be here, he didn't dare to walk too fast.

First of all, this place is in the navigator, and there is also a map.

It's just that the map is a huge and empty white frame without any markers.

Qin Zhibo has never encountered such a situation before, so he can only think that the terrain here is similar to a square, with an unknown area and no obstructions.

This is both good news and bad news.

The good news is that it is not easy to hit the wall when walking inside, which is a great benefit to Eisuke Hondo.

The bad news is that there are no occluders, no markers, and it's easy to get lost.

In addition, the magic power extractor cannot be realized in this space, Qin Zhibo cannot use the object-finding spell, and can only rely on blind cats to kill mice.

He didn't need to look for the direction, he could only walk straight ahead after entering the space.

Because if I and Hondo Eisuke entered this space in the same position and direction, then Hondo Eisuke would most likely go forward as well.

……

Qin Zhibo moved forward alone in the endless space, surrounded by darkness and dust floating in the air.

At first, he thought it was ordinary dust, and it might even be mixed with the ashes of decayed human bones.

But he gradually discovered that the dust was not really dust.

This thing is like the snowflakes on the TV, you can see it, but you can't touch it.

Walking in the darkness, Qin Zhibo didn't dare to make a big figure, let alone call Hondo Yingyou's name.

Because if the ghouls were here, they'd be called.

With bare hands and limited vision, Qin Zhibo didn't dare to fight those dog-headed beasts in close quarters.

But the strange thing is that Qin Zhibo didn't find anything related to ghouls after walking for a while.

Even the stench in the air just now disappeared in the nasal cavity unconsciously.

In terms of sound, the surrounding area is also surprisingly quiet.

After walking aimlessly for a while, an unusual light suddenly appeared in front of Qin Zhibo's eyes.

He bowed his back and approached cautiously in a lurking posture.

He didn't see what it was until he got closer to a distance of less than 10 meters.

This turned out to be a villa!
Qin Zhibo couldn't believe his eyes. He widened his eyes, but what was reflected in his pupils was indeed a villa.

And this villa is very familiar.

It turned out to be the Suzuki family's villa!
Why did Suzuki's villa appear here?

Qin Zhibo looked around, and there was still boundless silence and darkness around him, except for this villa standing here strangely.

Weird, weird.

There was a faint light from the windows of the villa, but it still couldn't dispel the gloom that enveloped the entire building.

Although aware of the weirdness here, this is the only special place I have encountered so far, and Qin Zhibo has no choice but to go in.

He came to the door of the villa, pushed the door lightly, and the door opened by itself.

Inside the hallway, all the lamps on the ceiling were on, but it was still dim, with intangible dust floating everywhere in the air.

Not only that, but the density of dust seems to be higher.

Turning from the porch into the living room, Qin Zhibo saw the terrifying scene in front of the sofa.

I saw a strange man in a cloak, holding a white stick, forcing the two people in front of the sofa.

One of the two was Ayako Suzuki with a frightened face, and the other was Eisuke Hondo who passed out on the ground.

As if sensing that someone had come in, the strange man slowly turned his head.

An old bandage was wrapped around half of the weirdo's head, and the remaining half of his head was exposed to the dust.

Although the half of the head was already covered with signs of erosion and gnawing, Qin Zhibo still vaguely recognized the identity of this person from the covered flesh.

This is the bandage freak, Ryoichi Takahashi!
