Conan Rick's Investigator

My office...

Eh?

Suddenly, Qin Zhibo thought of the huge magic circle drawn on the floor in the closed room on the third floor of the office.

He once gave the parchment with this magic circle drawn on it to Koizumi Hongzi for identification, and learned that the symbols on it belonged to the "One of All Things", a deity with great power.

If this magic circle is real...

Qin Zhibo had some fantastic ideas in his mind.

He quickly descended, passed through the building, and reached the third floor of the office.

The decoration here was similar to the first time I saw it. It was very simple, as if it had just been moved.

There were several discarded wine bottles on the floor, as well as used toilet paper, baseball bats, crumpled bills and other debris.

Qin Zhibo didn't stay too long in the living room and went straight to the room with the magic circle painted on it.

But just a few steps, outside the window

The sky darkened rapidly, and time flowed backwards again.

He walked through the door and saw what the room looked like.

At this time, dim candlelights were being arranged on the magic circle.

This also resulted in the magic circle being the first thing that caught the eye in this empty room.

The magic circle is composed of several huge circles. Circles of different sizes are interlaced and superimposed on each other, like countless bubbles gathered together.

In the center of the magic circle, there is an eyeball-like pattern composed of indescribable strange shapes.

In the dark corner of the room, the figure arranged all the candles in his hand, lit them one by one, and then sat cross-legged on the floor.

This person is none other than "Qin Zhibo", but he is controlled by the original owner of the body.

He looked dull, looking at the magic circle on the floor, wondering what he was thinking.

Beside his knees were the parchment with the magic circle drawn on it, and some straw paper.

From a distance, it seems that there is something written on the papyrus, but it is not full.

Qin Zhibo did not dare to walk over and take a look, because he was afraid that time would go back again and go back to a time when this magic circle did not exist yet.

But there was no need for him to read it. He had already read the content above.

Those were some crazy statements made by the original owner complaining that he was being disturbed by a certain existence and could not get rid of it in his dream.

He may have created this magic circle in order to escape from the nightmare.

But the original owner may also be trying to fight against it.

Because he also left behind the words "transcend time and space, and turn the world around."

While Qin Zhibo was thinking about what the original owner had done, Qin Zhibo in the corner seemed to have finally made up his mind and stood up from the floor.

He raised his hands above his head, took a deep breath, and began to chant.

Although the voice has become muddy due to long-term alcoholism, you can still vaguely distinguish the English syllables with a Hawaiian accent.

"Hear my call... Lord of the Endless Void, Planet-Shifter, One Who Unifies All, The Transcendent, Source of Solidity, Lord of Terror, Victor of Glory, Son of Folly, Father of Blasphemy, Nameless Mist, God of Multidimensional Space, God of the Outermost Dark Space, Keeper of Secrets, Solver of Puzzles, God of the All-Seeing, God of the Spheres, God of Gates, Immortal of the Ancients, God of the Future and Time, Taviel at-Umr, Afer-Gommon, Yog-Sothoth..."

"Your servant is begging you! Please show yourself!"

Qin Zhibo was seen chanting this long and complicated string of names while rhythmically raising and lowering his hands.

His posture is a bit weird, but it also seems like he is performing some kind of dance.

However, when all the hymns were recited, nothing happened around them.

There was silence in the room, the candle still burning fully.

No effect……

Qin Zhibo also looked around and confirmed that nothing happened.

The magic circle must have failed...

Qin Zhibo was a little disappointed, because he also wanted to stand from the perspective of a bystander and see what this magic circle could do.

In other words, what did the original owner do with this magic circle?

And if this magic circle is easy to use, I might be able to use the magic circle to summon the Unifier of All Things to drive away the Tindalos Hounds.

Doesn't the Hound of Tindalos hope to be noticed as "prey"?

What if it realizes that its target is "God"?

Qin Zhibo was very curious about this, but unfortunately, the summoning ceremony of the original owner failed.

But at this moment, the original owner raised his hands again and began to repeat the long list of eulogies just now.

"Do you want to come again?" Qin Zhibo frowned slightly.

But if you think about it carefully, for ordinary people without magic power, the probability of successful casting of this kind of magic circle is very small. How can it be done without trying it a few times?

"Hear my call..."

While the recitation was going on, suddenly, a strange black mist "drilled" out from the darkness in the corner of the wall.

Qin Zhibo's face was shocked, and he realized that the hound of Tindalos was catching up again.

This guy is really haunted.

Qin Zhibo gritted his teeth and looked at the original owner of the body who was chanting.

He chanted with his eyes open, but his sight did not notice the black mist in the corner at all, which meant that he could not see the hound of Tindalos.

So for now, all I have to do is continue to escape.

But if we continue to escape like this, when will the escape end?

This magic circle is certain to exist right now. If you miss it, you won’t know when you will encounter it next time.

Moreover, judging from the fact that I had previously intervened in the past with my "self" and prevented the van from falling off the cliff, even if I was in a conscious state, I could still intervene in the past to a certain extent.

In this case, why not try summoning it with the original owner?

Oh shit!

Fight!

Qin Zhibo was heartbroken and imitated the original owner, raising his hands.

At the same time, he also chanted along with the rhythm of the original owner.

"...the god of the outermost dark space, the keeper of secrets, the solver of mysteries, the all-seeing god, the god of the sphere, the god of gates, the ancient immortal..."

The strange thing is that Qin Zhibo just listened to it once and was able to recite it completely and fluently.

At the same time, the original owner could faintly hear the voice of another "self" in his ears, chanting the same content with him.

This wonderful feeling was something I didn't have when I tried it just now.

This made him more confident and his voice suddenly became louder.

"Your servant is begging you! Please show yourself!"

"Please show yourself!"

Qin Zhibo and the original owner had just finished speaking, and the next second, a clear roar suddenly sounded in the sky.

A purplish electric light cut through the sky, passed through the dark altocumulus clouds, passed through the streets and windows, and poured into the eyeball pattern in the center of the magic circle like a flint.

At the same time, the rickety body of the Tindalos Hound completely emerged from the black mist in the corner.

Chapter 1242 Death of the Hound

It's coming out.

Already out...

Qin Zhibo raised his hands high and stared at the black mist in the corner until the Tindalos Hound emerged from the black mist.

The ugly wolf head narrowed its scarlet eyes and stared at its prey insidiously.

In those long and narrow mouths, the hollow straw-like tongue slowly poked out like a snake's tongue, obviously ready for hunting.

Compared to real hounds, the Hound of Tindalos's hunting method is more "gentle".

They will use their sharp claws and long pointed teeth to attack resisting prey, but they will not use them to obtain.

The tongue, a hollow straw that protrudes from the mouth, will penetrate into the victim's body and suck out bodily fluids.

This is not for the purpose of hunting, but like the Predator, it is used as a trophy after defeating the prey.

Qin Zhibo moved his right foot sideways, ready to dodge at any time, and at the same time glanced at the magic circle on the floor from the corner of his eye.

Just now, with the chanting of the hymn, the magic circle seemed to have some strange reactions.

There was thunder in the sky, as if an invisible powerful force spread from the sky, and finally merged into the central pattern of the magic circle.

But then... there was no more.

Could it be that this magic circle works on the "Curved Realm" and the time I am currently in is the "Bent Realm", so I can't see it?

According to the description of the Seven Chapters of Xuanwu Secret Sutra, the time that most people are experiencing leading to the future is a continuous and stable warped time.

The time that flows backward to the past, is chaotic and discontinuous, is the time of transition.

The power Liao Dan obtained was precisely by sending people into the "Zhejing" to gain the power to return to the past in consciousness.

The two kinds of time can interfere with each other, but they are not connected.

In other words, even though the magic circle in the "Curved Realm" was successful, it couldn't work on the "Bent Realm"?

hateful!

You won't be happy in vain...

Qin Zhibo looked at the magic circle and "himself" next to him, who was also the original owner of the body.

He seemed to be thinking about whether the magic circle was really successful, and even planned to recite the eulogy again.

"Hear my call..."

Qin Zhibo watched the original owner chant again. When he was distracted, the Tindalos hound in the corner suddenly rushed towards him.

The abstract, amorphous outline was like a piece of deformed darkness, flying through the top of the magic circle.

Seeing this, Qin Zhibo made a tactical dodge gesture to the side.

But at this moment, a dazzling beam of light suddenly emerged from the eye pattern in the middle of the magic circle, and it just passed through the body of the Tindalos Hound that flew directly above the magic circle.

This powerful force instantly squeezed the dark figure to the ceiling, and spread around in the shape of air waves.

For a moment, the candles were blown out, the paint buckets were swaying crazily, and various manuscripts were blown away, being swept into the tornado in the center of the magic circle and dancing in the wind.

This is……

Qin Zhibo's eyes widened in shock and he looked up at the Hound of Tindalos on the ceiling.

The monster seemed to be grabbed by a pair of invisible hands and held down tightly.

Although it struggled desperately to twist its wolf head, the power gap was too great and it had no effect at all.

Is this the action of the One Who Unifies All Things?

At the same time, the original owner was also looking up at the ceiling.

However, from his perspective, he could not see the Hound of Tindalos. He could only see the thick white light beam rushing to the top of the ceiling, and then spread around after hitting the wall at the top, like a torrent caused by a waterfall hitting a stone. .

The appearance of this strange phenomenon naturally shows that the magic circle is successful.

He actually succeeded in summoning one of the three pillars of gods, the great unifier of all things and the key to the door - Yog-Sothoth!

He knelt on the ground and began to speak devoutly to the pillar of light in front of him.

"Great One of All, please grant my wish!"

"Please bring down your revelation! Guide your believers out of their confusion! Save them from the fate of destruction!"

"Over the Pacific, the evil Kanaloa is rising. His shadow is growing larger and larger. Fish and reptiles alike will welcome his return..."
