Conan Rick's Investigator

According to the fashionable term in the future, this should be a transvestite, right?

And this is a true pseudo-girl.

Transvestite = pretending to be your own mother.

However, from his words just now, he seemed to have completely replaced his identity with that of his mother, and even called the mother in the cell by his own name.

The mother in the cell may have been tortured for a long time, her will has been worn away, and now she looks like neither human nor ghost.

I'm afraid both mother and son are mentally ill now...

Five years ago, the male owner of a family who lived here was killed by the female owner or her son.

Both the hostess and her son became mentally ill.

And those ancient demon statues, the ancient bricks and stones in the basement...

This villa is probably a real "haunted house".

At this moment, the mother, who had been facing the basement wall, suddenly pointed at the wall like crazy and shouted a series of strange screams.

"It's it..."

“It’s here!”

Chapter 89 Blessing of the Yellow Mark

The woman screamed sharply and stared at the wall opposite the iron bars in horror.

But when Qin Zhibo turned around, he saw nothing on the brown-red brick wall.

But the woman continued to scream.

"what--"

"It moved!"

"leave me alone!"

She screamed and moved away from the iron bars, falling to the ground, her eyes wide open as if she was staring at some sinister existence that was constantly changing.

what happened?

Are you suddenly going crazy?

Qin Zhibo didn't understand what he meant.

But when Qin Zhibo wanted to confirm it again and turned his head to the brick wall behind him, he saw something he had never seen before.

In the exact center of the wall is a yellow spot.

The material of this spot is unknown, perhaps it is some kind of light spot.

But it covered the brick-red wall, more like some kind of real yellow paint.

It burst out from the darkness between the bricks and rushed out in all directions on the plane of the wall.

It resembles both a living yellow river and a Dark Mark that changes shape at any moment.

Or maybe it's more like some kind of indescribable yellow tentacle...

Qin Zhibo opened his eyes wide in disbelief, staring at the amazing changes on the wall.

Just now, not only myself, but also Conan and Ayumi, did not notice these things on the wall.

Why do these things suddenly appear in such unexpected places?

It is completely different from previous tangible objects such as paintings and statues.

The inspiration gained from those things at least has traces and sources to be found.

It was born out of nothingness...

In Qin Zhibo's eyes, the "yellow" quickly extended to the entire wall.

Strips of "yellow paint" twitched and trembled on the flat surface of the wall like long yellow tentacles.

After a moment, it began to rotate clockwise.

These yellow tentacles gradually rotate at an accelerated speed with the yellow spot in the middle as the origin.

As the rotation speed increased, the original brick red color of the wall seemed to flicker, while the yellow tentacles gradually solidified.

Like a rapidly spinning fidget spinner, the yellow tentacles formed several almost fixed routes, wriggling irregularly on the wall like patterns.

At this moment, the boundary between reality and illusion becomes increasingly blurred, and time seems to stand still.

Qin Zhibo stared at everything with his eyes wide open.

From the rapidly rotating yellow mark, Qin Zhibo felt a kind of evil and madness that was difficult to describe in words.

It was as if the extraordinary power contained in these yellow tentacles had surpassed the plane of the wall and drilled into his brain like maggots.

This is somewhat similar to the abstract statue of the sea god that Qin Zhibo had visited before.

But it seems completely different...

During that visit, the test I faced was basically the sound.

This time there was no strange mumbling sound, only countless different shades of yellow that were visually impossible to count.

Yellow has invaded!

It invaded Qin Zhibo's vision!

Sanity is severely tested at this moment.

Only a strong enough willpower can help those who witness this strange change to escape from the predicament.

Qin Zhibo's will began to decline rapidly at this time.

90、84、76、71、67……

The numbers are decreasing, corresponding to the increase in Qin Zhibo's heart rate.

70、84、99、110、125……

Qin Zhibo began to shrink back.

However, even if he retreated, Qin Zhibo's body could not move back flexibly.

He seemed to be stuck in some invisible mud, his body trapped and unable to extricate himself.

It was not until this time that dark green branches finally emerged from the edge of Qin Zhibo's vision.

They gently covered Qin Zhibo's eyes like a mother's hands.

As these dark green branches extended, the shimmering, wriggling yellow tentacles gradually diminished in view.

Finally, it was swallowed up like a extinguished candle.

……

"Brother?"

"Brother Qin?"

In the basement, Qin Zhibo tilted his view and saw Inspector Megure in the lower left corner.

Megure looked at Qin Zhibo with a puzzled look.

Because just now Qin Zhibo's body was stiff and he was staring at the wall with a scary expression.

But there's clearly nothing on the wall...

"Brother Qin, are you okay?"

Faced with Megure's concern, Qin Zhibo shook his head and then turned his gaze to the wall in front of him.

The brick red on the walls was as dark and gloomy as ever.

As for the eye-catching "yellow paint", it seems as if it has never appeared.

However, a new prompt appeared on the left side of Qin Zhibo's vision.

[Congratulations on passing the will test. You have been blessed by a yellow mark of unknown origin.]

【Get a new task】

Qin Zhibo was just about to check the task when he heard a woman's crazy screams behind him.

"what--"

"Do not touch me!"

"It's haunting me! I can't leave!"

Behind the iron bars of the cell, two policemen tried to help up a long-haired woman who was huddled in a corner with her back to the wall, but the woman showed great resistance.

When Conan brought her here just now, Megure already knew that the mother in the cell might have been locked up for too long and had mental problems.

Normal language communication is useless when dealing with mentally ill people.

"Take her away by force."

"Send him to Qingshan Mental Hospital for diagnosis first."

As for the man in the black skirt who was knocked down by Qin Zhibo, Conan's suggestion just now was to send him to a men's hospital for treatment first.

Megure, who was always used to being told what to do, saw the man in the black skirt covering his lower body and looking very painful, so he actually sent him to a men's hospital.

However, even if he is sent to the hospital in time, he will probably become a "lone warrior" or "Santa Claus".

"By the way, Brother Qin, why are you here?"

"Conan said you seemed to have come in before they went on the haunted house adventure?"

"Did you already know that the suspect in the murder case five years ago was hiding here?"

"Really...if there were any clues about this, why didn't you tell me in advance?"

Megure's questions came like a string of cannonballs, making Qin Zhibo, who was already having a headache, even more overwhelmed.

So Qin Zhibo simply explained that he was simply asked by a friend to come and see the house of a friend's friend's relative that had been idle for five years, that was all.

that's the truth.

"If there's nothing else, I'll leave first."

"Uh-oh..." Megure just nodded, and suddenly remembered something important, "Confession, brother, you still need to record the statement."

This time, Qin Zhibo is a party to the incident again, so recording his statement is inevitable.

But now that he has a social credit score of 2280, Qin Zhibo decided to give it a try.

"I'm a little tired today, can we do it next time?"

Megure looked a little troubled, and Qin Zhibo quickly threw out more powerful words.

"Next time definitely!"

After Qin Zhibo emphasized it twice, Inspector Megure was convinced.

"All right……"

"That's a deal, next time I'll definitely do it."

Qin Zhibo made an OK gesture and turned to leave.

……

Returning to the front yard of the villa, Qin Zhibo saw that all four little ones were receiving training without exception.

It was already late at night, and the police had very carefully notified the parents of all the members of the Junior Detective Team to come and take their children away.

Genta’s mother, Mitsuhiko’s mother, Ayumi’s father, and Conan’s childhood sweetheart?

In short, everyone has risks to face and everyone has lessons to learn.

Among them, Ran Mouri put on a stern face like a parent and scolded Conan, which was unusual for her.

"Really..."

"You brought everyone to explore this kind of place so late at night, and you almost got into danger."
