Conan Rick's Investigator

Hearing this, Qin Zhibo was a little surprised. He had not told Yasuharu Haneda about going to the United States.

But then he thought again, because of his performance at the "Sunflower" auction, it is possible that Yasuharu Haneda learned the news on TV.

Or when he was in Las Vegas, he revealed his identity to the Nine Angels.

"There's something about the United States, right?"

“I went to the United States before and helped someone complete a nine-angel mission.”

"When delivering the props for the mission, a man from the Nine Angels came. His name is 'Luc Villiers'. Do you know this man?"

When Qin Zhibo mentioned this name, there was a moment of surprise in Haneda Yasuharu's eyes.

"It turned out to be him..."

"Is this person famous?" Qin Zhibo asked doubtfully.

Haneda Yasuharu nodded and said seriously, "As you know, the Nine Angels Organization was founded and controlled by nine wealthy and powerful individuals, one of whom is American capitalist Amanda Hughes."

"Ever since Amanda's death, the Nine Angels realized the dangers of revealing their identities, so everyone has hidden their identities, with only one person revealing theirs publicly."

"That man is Luc Villiers."

"To this day, the Nine Angels are still run by nine powerful and mysterious figures, and Luc Villiers is the agent of those nine figures, representing the entire organization when necessary."

"You were able to meet this man. It seems that the mission you carried out was also quite important..."

After listening to Haneda Yasuharu's explanation, Qin Zhibo's brows grew slightly serious.

He guessed that the person was of high status, but he didn't expect that he was the "face" of the entire Nine Angels Organization.

No wonder he dared to say that the next time we met, he could arrange for me to see the "Ancient" specimen brought back by the Miskatonic Antarctic Expedition.

Qin Zhibo resolved one of the doubts in his mind and asked about the second question.

"Do you know where Akai Shuichi's family is now?"

Haneda Yasuharu's expression shifted slightly. "Why are you asking this? They are all living in a safe place now."

"Hmm..." Qin Zhibo murmured, "Something happened to Akai Shuichi recently, and I need to contact his family."

Haneda Yasuharu frowned, "What's the matter?"

"Is such that……"

Qin Zhibo explained the whole story, starting from when he sought cooperation with Shuichi Akai.

This includes Shuichi Akai disguising himself as Gin from the organization, being killed by the organization, and then going to Enkai, finding Tsathoggua, and resurrecting Shuichi Akai.

"Although Akai Shuichi has been resurrected, he has now lost his previous memories. I promised him that I would help him find his family."

After listening to Qin Zhibo's narration, Haneda Yasuharu showed an expression of great shock.

As an A-level agent of the Nine Angels Organization, he knew that there was more than one intelligent life race in the world, and he also knew that there were "gods" on Earth.

But he never imagined that Qin Zhibo could actually find the gods and use the methods given by the gods to resurrect the dead.

This is something that only a legendary investigator can accomplish!

"You...really saw the Toad God?"

It is obvious that Yasuharu Haneda knows about some mysterious existence.

"Yes." Qin Zhibo nodded solemnly, "And it's not just me. Karasuma Renye has also been to Enkai and met Tsathoggua."

Karasuma Ren!

Upon hearing this name, Yasuharu Haneda's eyes widened instantly.

He knew this name. 17 years ago, when Tsutomu Akai was investigating the death of Hiroshi Haneda in the United States, he came up with this name.

This man is the head of the Karasuma Group. He was a super-rich man 50 years ago. His financial resources can be said to be rich enough to rival a country. He has a significant influence in politics and business circles.

Of course, Yasuharu Haneda would not think that this over 100-year-old man directly killed his son.

But the death of Haneda Hiroji is definitely closely related to Karasuma Renya.

And it is very likely that Karasuma Renya is the boss behind the organization!

"Karasuma Renya..."

Haneda Yasuharu sighed, "It seems that the thing I was most worried about has happened."

"What are you worried about?" Qin Zhibo asked.

Yasuharu Haneda replied, "If the organization is just a simple criminal organization, then with the joint efforts of the whole world, there is still a way to eliminate it."

"But if the organization is the group that has mastered the 'truth about the world', they may even have the ability to subvert the entire world."

Yasuharu Haneda fumbled with the metal handle in his hand a little nervously, his expression very solemn.

But Qin Zhibo's next words made him take it more seriously.

"Actually, when I was lurking in the organization, I discovered that they were developing a piece of software."

"This software can capture a special signal on the Internet. I believe this signal is related to a god called 'Cthulhu'."

"Cthulhu?" Haneda Yasuharu repeated, confirming, "Are you talking about the Cthulhu sleeping in R'lyeh?"

"Yes." Qin Zhibo nodded, "But I don't know where this 'R'lyeh' is..."

Yasuharu Haneda explained, "R'lyeh is somewhere deep in the Pacific Ocean. Its exact location is so far away that it's impossible to find."

“Once the stars return to their proper positions, the sunken city of R’lyeh will rise to the surface of the sea, and the long-dormant Cthulhu will awaken to cleanse the entire world.”

"This is an ancient legend circulating among the believers of Cthulhu..."

Yasuharu Haneda's words were thought-provoking. Qin Zhibo couldn't help but think of a sentence that Itakura Taku had recorded in his notebook that Vermouth had said.

"We can be both of God and the??we're?trying?to?raise?the?dead?against?the?stream?of?time."

——We are both God and devil, because we want to reverse the flow of time and revive the sleepers.

If the "Sleeper" that Vermouth mentioned is Cthulhu, then the real purpose of the organization is actually to wake Cthulhu?

After all, it is impossible to resurrect the dead, because the organization has already done that.

This is probably the real purpose of the organization.

Whether it is the drug APTX-4869 or the software developed by Itakura Taku, Karasuma Renya's century-long layout is all in preparation for this matter!

happy mid-Autumn Festival!

I wish you and your family happiness and a complete and perfect life!

Chapter 1055: Dr. Agasa’s house was robbed?

In the quiet study, Qin Zhibo was thinking to himself.

The software developed by Taku Itakura is related to Cthulhu.

The intriguing codeword left by Vermouth, combined with the "green signal", will appear in the shape of an octopus head on the electronic screen, affecting the minds of those with weak wills.

In addition, according to Elena Miyano's recording, part of the research on the predecessor of APTX-4869 was on combating deep diving syndrome, which was the research result of Shiraha Pharmaceutical, a subsidiary of STK Group.

The Deep Ones syndrome is related to Cthulhu's loyal followers - the Deep Ones.

There was no computer technology a hundred years ago. Uramaru Renya went to Enkai to meet Tsathoggua, probably in order to live to the era when computer technology appeared.

If all this is a plan for something, then it is very likely the legend that believers have always believed in - the resurrection of Cthulhu.

However, in the "legend" mentioned by Yasuharu Haneda, there is no mention of resurrection conditions such as computer software or drugs.

What do they have to do with the return of the stars?

……

"Is this the only way to revive Cthulhu?" Qin Zhibo asked again.

Haneda Yasuharu pondered for a moment and shook his head, indicating ignorance. "I'm not sure about that, but this is the most widely circulated theory among believers."

"Looking at you, have you thought of something?"

After careful consideration, Qin Zhibo said, "I'm not sure if there's an absolute connection, but is it possible that the Black Organization is preparing for Cthulhu's revival?"

"But speaking of the stars returning to their proper positions, I remember the people of the Beast Brotherhood once said the phrase 'the stars returning to their proper positions'."

"They once said that 'the Lord' of the Beast Brotherhood would use Pandora's Stone to perform a ritual when the stars aligned."

"Do you know what ceremony they're going to have?"

Yasuharu Haneda's expression changed slightly, it was obvious that he knew about this.

After a few seconds of silence, he breathed a sigh of relief. "Logically, I shouldn't tell you this, but now... who cares?"

"Actually, the Beast Brotherhood is an ancient organization that has existed for a long time. They believe in the legendary creature called 'Beast'. But in reality, the Brotherhood adheres to the prophecy of the ancient Egyptian high priest, the Black Pharaoh Nefren Ka..."

"That is, Nevren Ka's soul will be reborn in a human body at some point in the future, and this person will bring endless chaos and darkness to the world."

"So the so-called 'ritual' you heard about must be Nevren Ka's reincarnation ritual."

"The reincarnation ritual requires three conditions: the prophecy's 'correct' time, the body of a descendant of Nefren Ka, and the Life Stone—Pandora."

"This Life Stone has had many names throughout history, such as the world's most famous 'Philosopher's Stone.'"

"And as far as I know, the last time this stone appeared was in the possession of an organization calling itself the 'Magic Eye Alliance'."

"Magic Eye Alliance?" Qin Zhibo repeated.

"Yes." Yasuharu Haneda stood up and walked behind the desk, opened the drawer, took out a photo from it and handed it to Qin Zhibo.

Qin Zhibo took the photo. On it was a symbol drawn on a yellow stone slab, which somewhat resembled a human eye with tears dripping from the corners.

Yasuharu Haneda explained, "The image above shows the former symbol of the Demonic Eye Alliance. This so-called Demonic Eye is the Egyptian Eye of Horus."

"According to legend, the Black Pharaoh Nefren Ka once implemented a brutal rule in Egypt, with blood sacrifices of thousands becoming the norm. It was the Demonic Eye Alliance that rallied the people to rebel against his rule, and only after Nefren Ka's death did they finally overthrow the Third Dynasty of Egypt."

"In order to prevent the prophecy of Nefren Ka's reincarnation from coming true, the Demon Eye Alliance has been guarding Pandora's Stone."

Listening to Haneda Yasuharu's words, Qin Zhibo suddenly remembered that such a scene had occurred when he was reading "The Secret of Worms".

Ludwig Prin, the author of "The Secret of the Worm", summoned Baron Samedi, the Lord of the Tomb of the Dead, in exchange for a cigar and a cemetery, and asked a question.

Ludwig Prin asked Baron Samedi whether the Black Pharaoh of ancient Egypt was an incarnation of the Many-Faced God Nyarlathotep.

And Baron Samedi wrote an affirmative answer in the sand.

The Black Pharaoh is one of the incarnations of the Thousand-Faced God, and Nefren Ka should be just Nyarlathotep's spokesperson in the human world.

After all, Nyarlathotep has a thousand incarnations, and no one knows what his true origin is.

In other words, the purpose of the Beast Brotherhood, also known as the zoo organization, is actually to revive the gods?

Why are these organizations so keen on reviving gods?

What is happening to this world?

Qin Zhibo was silent for a moment, then asked, "Is this information all obtained by Chunjing Fengchuan's investigation?"

"Yes, but unfortunately, he was murdered by the Brotherhood after the investigation was completed..."

Harui Fuden is the grandfather of the murderer in the previous magician enthusiast case.

He was a master of escape magic and a Class B agent of the Nine Angels Organization. He died in an accident during a performance, but was actually assassinated by the Beast Brotherhood.

Other magicians who were assassinated by the Beast Brotherhood include the previous generation of Kaito Kid and Kuroba Toichi.

However, Hei Yudao knew from the beginning that he could not escape death. In order to avoid implicating his family, he chose to die on his own initiative, and relying on the physique of a dreamer, he still lived in the dreamland.

The real Pandora's Stone is actually the "Scarlet Tear", a gem in the hand of the granddaughter of the fire magician, and also the secret that Black Feather Touyi has always kept.

In other words, Kuroba Toichi and the fire magician should be members of the "Magic Eye Alliance".

……

Having collected a lot of secrets, Qin Zhibo felt an inexplicable sense of satisfaction in his heart.

However, Qin Zhibo didn't know either the core specific plan of the Black Organization or the plan of the Beast Brotherhood.

As for the plans of the Beast Brotherhood, perhaps we can get some idea of it after we find Black Feather Thief I in the Dreamland.

But the Black Organization's plan remains a mystery to this day.

All we know is that the Black Organization has already completed basic research on the software. Although Itakura Taku refused to cooperate for the welfare of mankind, the organization's boss obviously knows the principle of not putting all your eggs in one basket.
