Conan Rick's Investigator

But thinking about it from another perspective, Mumu is worthy of being a leader, he is good at summarizing!

"Yes, that's understandable."

"Inspector Megure, can we go back and rest? It's getting late..."

Mu Mu looked at Qin Zhibo, whose face was already showing fatigue, then looked at his watch, then turned to look at the fire in the villa, knowing that the fire would definitely not be extinguished in a short time.

"Okay, I'll arrange for someone to take you back."

"After you've rested, don't forget to come to the Metropolitan Police Department to take your statement."

Mu Mu glanced at everyone including Qin Zhibo. Except for the man with glasses, the fat man, and the doctor man who had been sent to the hospital first, everyone else's records were indispensable.

After all, three dead people including the murderer appeared at once this time, and the scene was destroyed. The records of these people will be the only way to restore the case.

……

In the end, Qin Zhibo did not let Mu Mu's men send him back.

After all, he rented a car and wanted to drive it back to the dealership anyway, so he happened to take Kuroba Kaito and Koizumi Anko back on the way.

However, the road to Ekoda Town would take dozens of minutes longer, so Koizumi Anko could only call her valet to pick them up.

Along the way, the three of them remained silent.

Kuroba Kaito rested his chin on one hand and stared blankly at the black dragon flying past the car window.

He was offline most of the time tonight, so it didn't bother him.

Koizumi Anko, who had always been an emissive person, also became unusually silent. She sat in the back seat with her head lowered, and occasionally glanced at Kuroba Kaito in the front passenger seat.

And Qin Zhibo was indeed tired, so tired that he didn't want to talk.

Tonight is not just about reasoning about the case normally, the second half also involves maintaining high-intensity operations and contacting the evil god.

But fortunately, Koizumi Hongzi's initial reversal technique still played a certain role, and the God of Witch Sabbat did not come in full glory.

Otherwise, the outcome of tonight is unknown.

Thinking back to what Hirasaka said, what Qin Zhibo cared about most was that sentence - I signed a contract with ***** that we would not kill each other's seeds left in this world.

This sentence contains a lot of information.

Nyarlathotep left a seed in this world.

An unknown existence also left a seed in this world.

The contract between the two established that they would not take action against each other's seeds.

This is a bit like what happens on the Internet. When the secret trial begins, the big families will agree with each other that the elders of the family will not take action, and let the younger generations fight each other.

And he may have been chosen by a certain existence as a "representative", which is what Naya calls a "seed".

The reason why Qin Zhibo is so sure is because last time he was cursed by voodoo and his life was in danger. He even saw the god of death in voodoo, Baron Samedi, who was also one of the incarnations of Nyarlathotep. .

But there was indeed a force that stopped Baron Samedi.

A dead hand, and a black hand.

The dead hand with pale skin was obviously weaker than Baron Samedi and could not completely stop Samedi.

Qin Zhibo has always had speculations about this power.

That's the King in Yellow.

Due to the existence of system tasks, Qin Zhibo had seen the image of the King in Yellow in various ways.

In addition to the ragged yellow robe and the pale mask covering his face, the King in Yellow also has a feature that most people ignore.

That is, there is nothing empty under the yellow clothes. There is indeed a human-like body inside.

There was no sign of life on the body, and occasionally tentacles instead of human hands could be seen sticking out of the body.

Therefore, the body inside the yellow coat is probably a cover-up for the King in Yellow Clothes.

But if the power of Dead Man's Hand really comes from the King in Yellow, then it means that Nyarlathotep's power is greater than Hastur, the King in Yellow.

There were also differences between the gods of old.

The Black Hand, who later joined the tug-of-war, felt that it matched the strength of Baron Samedi.

It was probably after this time that Nyarlathotep had to sign a contract with a certain entity not to take action again.

If you are really chosen by "a certain existence", can you consider yourself the "chosen one"?

Since he is the chosen one, it makes more sense to travel to this world and have a system.

And his mission seems to be to compete with another "chosen one".

Nyarlathotep used "chaos and order" to summarize the competitive relationship between the two "chosen ones".

As the Thousand-Faced God and the Crawling Chaos, the people he chooses naturally represent "chaos".

I represent the opposite force, called "order".

order……

Qin Zhibo doesn't think he is very orderly, and often plays his cards out of the box.

But I was still chosen...

As for who was chosen, Qin Zhibo couldn't help but think about the other gods he had come into contact with so far. Maybe the clues were there.

Hastur, the King in Yellow, whose power is inferior to Nyarlathotep, seems to be ruled out.

The toad god Tsathoggua, a statuesque god who cares little for anything other than Enkai, can also be ruled out.

The sleeping sea god Cthulhu is the god worshiped by the deep divers of marine life. But if Cthulhu is his boss, why do the deep divers attack him?

Also, when there was no [Fear in a Bottle] before, seawater would make one's body feel nauseated. It really didn't behave like someone chosen by Cthulhu.

In addition, there are some gods who have a weak sense of existence and very little information.

For example: the Spider God of Tottori Prefecture's Golem Ridge, Jus Tragon of Yato Kamura City, Gatano Toa of Nishitama City, and the Night Demon of Las Vegas.

Judging intuitively, these gods should have little to do with me.

Is there anything else?

Qin Zhibo fell into thinking, because it was true that a long time passed, at least in his own sense of time.

Suddenly, Qin Zhibo's eyes flickered, and another god appeared in his mind.

This god himself did not understand, but he was very close.

Because in the empty room on the third floor of the office, there is a magic circle painted on the floor by the original owner.

Qin Zhibo once copied the magic array and found Koizumi Hongzi to identify a small number of elements on the magic array.

It says "The Transcendent," "The Portkey," "The One to Whom All is One."

What if the original owner of the body is also a believer of this god?

So, is it because the original owner used magic that he traveled to this world?

The key is that in the understanding of Koizumi Hongzi and the manservant, the One who unites all things is the maker of the order of time and space and the laws of nature in the universe.

It itself represents "order".

Its power is also above that of the God of the Witch's Feast.

Of course, from the perspective of mortals, the God of the Witch's Banquet is definitely not as impressive as the title of the Ruler of the Universe.

Perhaps, the "order" that Nyarlathotep mentioned

, is the one to which all things return.

The reason why he was chosen by the All-Unioning One is probably because the original owner used the magic circle related to the All-Unioning One.

What about Nyarlathotep’s Chosen One?

Is this person also a time traveler?

Or are they the natives of this world?

If he is the chosen one, he should also have special powers given by the gods, right?

Just like the system I own...

Qin Zhibo didn't know who this person was who was "using a cheat" like him.

But there is no doubt that this person will be the most powerful opponent he has ever encountered in this world.

……

Zhibo Detective Agency.

When Qin Zhibo drove the Mazda 525 slowly, Koizumi Hongzi's valet had already parked the Maybach on the side of the road and was waiting.

Kuroba Kaito still wants to live with his "father", so only Koizumi Hongzi returns to Ekoda Town alone.

Qin Zhibo parked the car behind the Maybach, and the valet immediately came over and opened the door for Koizumi Hongzi.

"Lord Anko..."

Koizumi Anko stepped out of the car, and the valet thoughtfully handed her a blanket to block the cold morning air.

Putting on the blanket, Koizumi Anko did not leave immediately, but turned to look at Kuroba Kaito who lowered the window in the front row.

"Bon voyage~"

Kuroba Kaito smiled and waved to Koizumi Anko, still looking so naughty.

However, Koizumi Hongzi changed her previous aloof demeanor, her eyes were filled with one part resentment, three parts indescribable tenderness, and two parts strength.

She looked at Kuroba Kaito and said calmly, "I'll find a way to deal with what you left in my body..."

As soon as these words came out, everyone present stared.

Especially the valet next to him didn't know what was going on. He quickly looked up at Kuroba Kaito in the car and shouted.

"You little brat! What did you do to my Lady Anko?!"

Kuroba Kaito also had a question mark on his face, "What did I do? I didn't do anything?"

When Koizumi Hongzi saw that someone had done something bad and refused to admit it, she became a little anxious.

Originally, when something like this happened, it was difficult to hold back tears along the way.

"Don't try to get away with it, we already kissed! I'm going to get pregnant next!"

"Huh?" x2

Qin Zhibo and Kuroba Kaito were stunned at the same time. After their thinking was slow for a few seconds, they finally remembered what Koizumi Anko said.

"Haha! You're talking about kissing~" Qin Zhibo explained with a smile, "Kissing won't make you pregnant. Who told you that kissing can make you pregnant?"

"If kissing can lead to pregnancy, then eating from the same plate can also lead to pregnancy, right?"

Kuroba Kaito also breathed a sigh of relief, "Huh... I got a real scare..."

Just when Koizumi Anko said she was pregnant with his child, Kuroba Kaito's chest became wet.

"But……"

Koizumi Hongzi's eyes were slightly confused, and then her mind suddenly cleared, recalling her mother's teachings when she was a child.

"But mother said that if a man and a woman kiss, they will get pregnant, right?"

Qin Zhibo: “…”

Kuroba Kaito: “…”

Hongzi’s mother deceived Hongzi so miserably...

At this time, the servant beside him also sorted out his thoughts. His expression and tone returned to calmness. He explained, "This is because Hongzi's mother hopes that you will keep your distance from men, so this is the only way."

"Because the thing that makes a witch cry the most is love..."

The manservant told the witch's mission in one sentence.

In the legend of witches, the first witch in the world was betrayed by her lover and sent to the stake.

Before she died, she made an eternal curse that all witches in future generations must not shed tears, otherwise they would lose all their magic power.

For eternity

In order to maintain their magic power, witches in later generations must learn to close their emotions and regard improving their magic power and learning magic as their lifelong goals.
