Conan's grammatical investigator

Chapter 279

In investigating the manuscripts, Mamiya Sadaaki first interviewed most of the domestic artists.

Among them are musicians, sculptors, painters, etc. All of these people suffered from different degrees of illness after March 1980, 3.

[Among them, the most severe symptom and the most typical one is Mr. Akutsu Shintake, a famous sculptor]

Seeing this name, Qin Zhibo had some impressions.

Isn't this the father of the sculptor Makoto Akutsu I investigated before?

[Akutsu Makoto is a talented sculptor, he once told his dreams in person during the few days when the madness subsided]

[He dreamed of a majestic city made of majestic boulders and pillars, covered with wet green mud algae]

[Even through dreams, you can really feel the danger and ominousness there, and the terrifying atmosphere permeates this extremely depressing underwater city]

[In a certain direction where the location cannot be determined, he heard a voice that was not a voice]

[It’s not so much a sound, it’s more like a chaotic feeling, which requires proper imagination to transform this feeling into a sound that humans can understand]

【That is.】

[Cthulhu fhtagn! 】

Even Qin Zhibo, who is from Hawaii, doesn't know how to spell this word.

But in Mamiya Sadaaki's manuscript, a transliteration is pasted below the word very thoughtfully.

"gram"

"Sulu."

"Cthulhu Fortan!"

For some reason, when Qin Zhibo spelled out the entire vocabulary, his tone of voice rose unconsciously, as if his brain had actively added some kind of emotion to it.

After this emotion calmed down a bit, Qin Zhibo carefully recalled that when he visited the foreign Bodhisattva, he seemed to hear a series of strange pronunciations when he came into contact with the inspiration from the deep sea.

That string of weird sounds that humans can't make seems to be.
"Cthulhu Fortan"

Qin Zhibo silently recorded this "made up" word in his heart, and continued to read the manuscript.

The content of the manuscript that follows describes Akutsu Shinwu's madness in detail, which is not far from what Qin Zhibo learned about it at the beginning, and it is not worth repeating.

【Except for Mr. Akutsu Shintake, most artists in China have more or less perceptions of this bizarre dream about the city of megaliths, except for one person.】

[During my investigation, I had the honor to visit Mr. Keiji Aso, a musician who just finished his US tour and returned to Japan]

【Keiji Aso said that he has not had any dreams about the undersea megalithic city recently, but another unusual and strange dream.】

【It was a king in a ragged yellow shirt sitting on the throne and holding out his palm to him】

[When he couldn't help but be attracted by Wang's charm, he handed out his hand, only to find that the hand hidden under the yellow shirt was a hand with pale skin and no blood vessels like a dead person's]

【This dream has been haunting him for a long time.】

[This is strange, among the many artists I visited, I have not heard of such dreams.Therefore, the dream that troubled Mr. Keiji Aso may have nothing to do with the content of my ongoing investigation]

[In addition to China, foreign artists have also visited. The content of the dream is similar, and several foreign artists also mentioned that they dreamed of a voice, which is similar to Cthulhu fhtagn]

[This is definitely not a coincidence! 】

[However, the specific reason remains to be investigated.]

[During my stay in the United States, I stopped by my father-in-law's alma mater - Miskatonic University]

[Miskatonic University has just suffered a major flood, and half of the campus is almost destroyed. I bring my sincere greetings and donations to my father-in-law, who is now bedridden]

[During my stay in Arkham Town, I met a Japanese-American student with Miskatonic blood, named Vince Chin]

[According to him, Cthulhu fhtagn is likely to be related to some mysterious religious groups or hidden pagan beliefs]

[For example, on the Hawaiian Islands, there has been a legend of the creation god-Kanaloa since ancient times]

[That is a sea god in the shape of a squid. In the creation myth of Hawaii, it was he who caused the great flood and sank Kanu Island.]

[So Vince Chin is implying that Cthulhu fhtagn had something to do with the flood that hit Miskatonic? 】

【When I was about to continue asking, he kept silent again.】

-

[After reading, a total of 2 willpower points have been lost, current willpower: 83]

[Acquire 200 points of mysterious myth knowledge skills]

[Congratulations on completing the main mission and unlocking the main achievement mission]

[Achievement task: Investigate the statue of Makoto Akutsu]

[Task requirements: unlimited time, unlimited location]

[Task reward: 2000 general skill proficiency]

this task
Qin Zhibo took a closer look at the content of the unlocked achievements and missions, and felt a little familiar.

I have paid homage to the foreign Bodhisattva!
At this time, the system continued to transmit the task settlement.

[Congratulations on completing the main mission! 】

[Obtain 2000 general skill proficiency. 】

Qin Zhibo: "."

The task is completed directly. It seems that as long as you have paid homage to the foreign Bodhisattva before, you have completed the task.

At present, Qin Zhibo has a general skill proficiency of 2570, and the numbers don't seem so dry.

But now Qin Zhibo is not in a hurry to spend, but re-read the last paragraph of the research manuscript.

This Japanese-American Miskatonic college student -- Vince Chin
It seems to be "I"
Qin Zhibo still remembered that his real name was Vince Qin. In 1980, when he was 21 years old, he happened to be in college.

In other words, the Vince Qin that Mamiya Sadaaki met 16 years ago was actually me?

Or the original owner of this body.

This is really a big coincidence.
After 16 years, I didn't expect to meet again in this way.

It's just that you were a handsome gentleman at that time, but now you hang on the wall vividly
And judging from Mamiya Sadaaki's description of himself, "I" is the one who knows the truth about "Cthulhu fhtagn".

"Self" refers to the Hidden Order's beliefs, the Hawaiian creation god Kanaloa
Qin Zhibo thought of his Hawaiian origin, and it's normal to know some Hawaiian myths.

Could it have something to do with those postcards that keep coming in from Hawaii?
And the Miskatonic flood, also caused by Cthulhu fhtagn?

The next day, Qin Zhibo didn't wake up until close to noon, and so did the members of the Detective Boys.

At the dinner table, Conan kept yawning, which made the three little ones a little worried about Conan's state.

Before eating, Qin Zhibo routinely went to the kitchen to check on Matsumoto Ryohei, but found that the ones preparing breakfast in the kitchen were the castle's own butler and chef.

Mamiya Man said: "If you are looking for Mr. Matsumoto, he has something to go back first."

"It is said that the items to be displayed in the museum have been shipped to Japan."
