Conan Rick's Investigator

"No, that's Cthulhu!"

"When the stars return to their proper positions, R'lyeh will rise above the sea, and Cthulhu will return with his hideous minions!"

"I can see the shadow growing!"

"And the entire Pacific Ocean is emitting a foul stench!"

"And Ksira... His daughter is still wandering on the sea!"

"And Naya's clones and their followers are scattered all over the world!"

"Oh, yes, and Hastur...they're here too!"

"It's horrible! It's absolutely horrible..."

The original owner seemed to have fallen into a state of mental breakdown, and he continued to utter some incoherent words and phrases.

Qin Zhibo glanced at the original owner kneeling in front of the magic array, with undisguised surprise in his eyes.

He didn't expect that before he took over this body, the original owner's mental state was already so bad.

If he is left alone, he will probably be sent to Qingshan Mental Hospital soon.

However, apart from his worrying mental state, many of the names of the old rulers that came out of his mouth were accurate.

Cthulhu, Hastur the King in Yellow, Nyarlathotep, Xira...

The original owner actually said that he saw them. It's strange that the san's worth is broken.

But how did he see these gods?

If an ordinary person can see one, he will be considered a great virtue in his life...

Just when Qin Zhibo was thinking about the mystery of the original owner of the body, the white light beam in the magic circle suddenly swung in the direction, knocking the Tindalos hound into the wall beside Qin Zhibo.

This force still tightly controlled the hound's body, but it was only one meter away from Qin Zhibo.

This is……

Qin Zhibo frowned slightly and had a very bold idea in his mind.

Is this asking me to kill the Hounds of Tindalos?

At present, although this "white light column" can control the Hound of Tindalos, it cannot kill it.

And he happens to possess the power that makes the hounds of Tindalos fear...

Qin Zhibo took out the Oath-Keeping Sword again, held the hilt of the sword with both hands, and stabbed the wolf head with all his strength.

This time, the body of the Tindalos hound was indeed not immune to physical attacks, and the sharp sword edge penetrated directly into the ferocious wolf's head.

"roar……"

A harsh wailing sound came from the upper and lower jaws, and light blue blood flowed from the gap between the sword edge and the flesh.

Along with this shrill wail, a piece of information appeared in Qin Zhibo's brain out of thin air.

The Hounds of Tindalos all come from Tindalos, a capital city that wanders outside of regular time and space.

It was a world of extreme chaos, and the towering black spiral spiers in the capital were the habitats of the hounds.

Besides the ordinary Tindalos Hounds, there are also "Tindalos Lords" with giant, nightmarish glowing eyes.

They are the descendants of the outer god Noth Itik and the minions of Azathoth, but they often conflict with Yog-Sothoth, the unifier of all things.

The reason is that Yog-Sothoth represents the curve of time, and the Hounds of Tindalos is the horn of time...

When Qin Zhibo came back from his daze, the Tindalos hound in front of him was being gradually torn apart by a holy and dazzling light.

The body that was originally odorless now exuded a very foul smell.

The stench was not completely eliminated until the white light completely devoured and obliterated the body of the Hound of Tindalos.

Qin Zhibo slowly put down the guard in his hand

Oath Sword, turned around and looked around.

Was this a successful kill of the Hounds of Tindalos?

After waiting for a moment, he finally breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that there was no more black mist and wolf heads coming out of the corner.

"call……"

The next step is to see how the ceremony goes.

Qin Zhibo turned to look at the original owner in front of the magic circle, who was still mumbling endlessly.

The content is generally that the end is coming, and the terrifying waves will spread over Hawaii and even the entire world.

"Please lower your gaze from the infinite dimension and grant me the infinite knowledge that can reveal the future!"

"Please..."

Facing the light pillar in the center of the magic circle, the original owner kowtowed as if pounding garlic.

However, the light beam only hovered above the magic circle for a while, and then gradually dissipated.

But when the original owner raised his head again, the magic circle had completely returned to calm, and everything was back to how it was before the summoning was successful.

That's it?

Qin Zhibo, like the original owner, looked around every corner of the room without knowing why.

It seems that Yog-Sothoth came here specifically to deal with the Hounds of Tindalos, and left after dealing with them...

It seems that no feedback was given to the original owner's request, and the original owner's wishes were not fulfilled.

Just when Qin Zhibo was confused, an invisible force suddenly came from the void.

Qin Zhibo felt as if his body was attracted by this force and he could not help but move in a certain direction.

Could it be that Liao Dan has expired?

According to records, the effect of Liao Dan depends on each person's physical constitution, and the general effect can last between one and two hours.

However, since the timeline in broken time is discontinuous, even though the drug is only effective for such a short time, it is still possible to travel back in time hundreds of millions of years ago.

At that time, I had no time to chew Liao Dan completely before swallowing it in the cabin, which might affect the efficacy of the medicine.

It seems it's time to go back...

Qin Zhibo took one last deep look at the original owner who was kneeling on the ground with a face full of despair, and then his almost transparent body completely disappeared in the air.

……

Inubushi forest, cabin.

Conan gritted his teeth, put his feet on the ground, and pulled the sliding door in front of him in the opposite direction with both hands.

But no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't open the door with the strength of a primary school student.

He suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness in his heart, and could only use shouting to vent the negative emotions in his heart.

"hateful!"

What happened?

What is that black wolf-like creature?

Aliens?

no, I can not……

Could it be the curse of the devil dog?

The curse is real...

A series of questions appeared in Conan's mind one after another.

But he quickly shook his head and threw all these complicated thoughts behind him.

The most critical issue now is to confirm Qin Zhibo's safety, because from the last moment when the wooden door was closed, the dangerous existence had already confronted Qin Zhibo.

Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and he remembered that he had seen Inufushi Akira outside through the window in the cabin before, being chased by a demon dog.

correct! window!

Conan turned around and ran to the window on the side of the wooden house, using stones found from the nearby swamp to smash the glass.

Click!

With a crisp sound, the window glass of the cabin shattered.

He quickly climbed into the cabin along the window edge and saw many people lying on the ground, including Hattori Heiji, Inufushi Chiaki, Inufushi Yukihime, and Qin Zhibo.

"Qin Zhibo?"

"Qin Zhibo! Hey..."

Conan leaned over and pushed Qin Zhibo's body a few times, trying to wake him up, but to no avail.

.

In addition, the black, floating dark creature that looked like a hound had disappeared.

Ok?

where it goes?

Just as the surprised Conan was looking around with the light from his watch, the shouts of Mouri Kogoro and others came from the other side of the swamp.

"Hello!"

"Is anyone there?"

"Mr. Chiaki!"

"Sachiki! Sachiki!"

Realizing that it was someone from Inubushi Castle who had arrived, Conan immediately climbed up to the window and said, "I'm here."

But when I thought about the unknown creature that looked like a black wolfdog that had appeared in the wooden house just now, I felt a little hesitant.

Once that thing has not left, wouldn't it be dangerous to call everyone over?

But even if he doesn't greet them, sooner or later they will come to the cabin to check.

What should I do?

Just as Conan was hesitating, a warm and strong hand suddenly held his small hand.

Conan was startled, and suddenly looked back to see that Qin Zhibo had woken up.

"Conan..."

"Qin!"

The excitement on Conan's face was undisguised.

When Qin Zhibo saw Conan in front of him, a happy smile appeared on his lips.

At the same time, Mouri Kogoro and others who had just arrived near the wooden house also heard the sounds inside and walked to the door and asked.

"Who's in there?"

Faced with Mouri Kogoro's question, Conan opened his mouth slightly but made no sound. He was still worried about the monster just now.

However, Qin Zhibo knew that he had effectively eliminated the Tindalos hounds.

"It's me, Qin Zhibo."

"And Conan, Hattori Heiji, Chiaki, and Yukihime are here too..."

As the door of the wooden house opened, Mouri Kogoro and others saw that except Conan and Qin Zhibo, everyone else was lying on the floor, as if they had just experienced a battle and were now asleep.

Under the questioning of Moori Kogoro, Conan told what happened.

From him and Hattori Heiji trying to capture the "demon dog" at the cabin, to seeing Yukihime and Chiaki coming to the cabin, and then the brief fight between the two sides...

In short, apart from the black "demon dog", Conan explained everything he could.

When everyone heard that Inufushi Chiaki was the murderer who controlled the "demon dog", everyone present was shocked.

However, Qin Zhibo knew that the real murderer of this series of cases in the Inufushi family was not him.
