The Grammatical Investigator in Conan

"what is that?"

"Oh! My God!"

Other police officers on the rooftop exclaimed when they saw the giant bat illuminated by searchlights in mid-air.

Only the policeman cosplayed by Kaitou Kidd steadily controls the searchlight with both hands.

The strong light shines on the night hunter, as if it contains corrosive acid, and the huge black cloud-like body rolls endlessly in the fog.

Kaitou Kidd was overjoyed. If he continued like this, he would definitely be able to destroy the monster!

But at this moment, there was a sudden noise from inside the searchlight.

Immediately afterwards, the searchlight head went out.

"Um?"

At first, Kaitou Kid thought it was just the searchlight that was broken, but when he stood next to the rooftop and looked at the street below, he saw that the street lights were also extinguished one by one at an extremely fast speed.

Darkness spreads rapidly like a raging plague.

Not long after, the glass between the buildings completely lost its light, and the entire Las Vegas fell into darkness.

…

Qin Zhibo looked back while gliding in the air.

A second ago, the giant bat monster was controlled by the light of the searchlight, trapped under the strong light and unable to move.

But suddenly, the lights in the entire city went out.

Darkness enveloped this desert city. At this moment, countless pitch-black towering objects were like a black forest made of steel.

How can this be? !

Qin Zhibo looked down at the city below. The sudden blackout was definitely not accidental, but man-made.

He didn't expect that the boss behind Star Casino actually controlled the entire power system of Las Vegas!

Just when he was surprised, he suddenly realized something and quickly looked back.

I saw that the bat monster that was trapped between the buildings by the searchlight just now had disappeared.

…

In the square in front of the Star Casino, as a blackout occurred, thousands of onlookers gathered and chaos broke out almost at the same time.

The local police immediately turned on the car lights and sounded the siren, and some police officers picked up their horns to maintain order.

But just this level of light is negligible in the face of the darkness of the entire city.

"Aliens are attacking Earth!"

"Humanity is doomed!"

"The end of the world is coming!"

Darkness is the most fertile ground for spreading fear. The panic spread by just a few people screaming can ignite the panic of the entire collective like dry fire.

Especially when thousands of people just witnessed an incredible being flying over Las Vegas. That black cloud and meteor-like flying object was not an alien. Could it be a human being?

The oldest and most primitive human emotion is fear of the unknown.

Under fear, humans are like lambs.

The fright caused by a wolf rushing into a flock of sheep can cause the collapse of a large flock of sheep.

People in the square began to flee in panic, knocking down and trampling countless people.

The flow of people surged in all directions, and there was no order at all.

Although the police had deployed their force in advance, in front of the citizens facing collective riots, the light of fireflies could not even be compared with the brightness of the bright moon.

confusion!

Chaos everywhere!

Las Vegas, the city known as the "Entertainment Capital of the World", is collapsing in the darkness of a power outage!

Among the chaotic crowd, Terai Kinosuke, who was still rational, did not run away with the crowd, but stood on the flagpole in the square.

This is the center of the chaotic storm, but it is the quietest place, because no one will stand here waiting to die in vain.

Terai Huangnosuke held the flagpole in one hand and a video recorder in the other hand, recording this scene that looked like the end of the world.

The crowd screamed and ran away, and the colorful support light signs were left on the ground and trampled on.

Since someone just spread doomsday theories, what is the most important thing about the doomsday?

Materials, of course.

Supplies, YYDS!

When the fleeing crowd passed by a nearby store that was still open, they immediately thought that they had not stocked up on supplies at home, so they quickly turned in.

When more people entered the store, some people took advantage of the chaos and ran away with their orders without paying, even taking away their shopping carts.

Once such behavior is opened, it cannot be stopped.

It’s the end of the world, what else can we settle?

Purchase for zero yuan, start!

More and more people are rushing into the store to buy goods for zero yuan. Even the store clerks who wanted to stop them at first have a change of mind and join the zero-dollar buying army.

Anyway, I'm just a part-time worker, so I can't afford to risk my life.

Some nearby residents are also concerned about the situation. More and more people are buying for zero yuan, and violent emotions are spreading rapidly among the crowd.

Soon, even those shops that were not open at all were attacked. Baseball bats smashed the glass of the display windows. The usually high-end products behind the windows became the trophies of the mob.

Some mobs even found it unsatisfactory and sprinkled gasoline outside luxury stores that were equipped with explosion-proof glass and could not be easily breached.

Las Vegas finally has its first ray of light!

Unfortunately, it is not a symbol of hope, but a flame ignited by the mob.

After igniting the gasoline, several mob members stood on the cars on the side of the road and screamed, making primitive sounds like beasts.

Bang——!

Suddenly, the explosion-proof glass exploded due to heat, and countless pieces of shattered glass shot into the bodies of the mob standing in front of the window taking pictures to show off.

The mob struggled to stand for a few seconds, then vomited blood and fell in the mess they had created. It can be called a world-famous painting.

Terai Huangzhi recorded this hell on earth with the video recorder on his hand, and at the same time he couldn't help but feel scared.

When he was stealing the "Egg of Memories" before, he and the young master also planned to blow up the substation in Osaka and cause a blackout.

But fortunately with Qin Zhibo's persuasion, this plan was abandoned, otherwise the master and servant would become criminals in history.

However, compared with the New York blackout in 1977, people's violent emotions were ignited much faster this time.

This is mainly due to the UFO flying in the sky just now. The black cloud-like flying object was the trigger of this chaos.

There has never been a record in human history of so many people witnessing a UFO.

Now is an era when UFO culture is highly spread. With the screening of "E.T", even primary school students know that UFOs are aliens.

"Independence Day" tells most people that aliens are not necessarily purely loving and friendly, and destruction is more likely to be the answer to a collision between interstellar civilizations.

Just like Columbus discovered the New World of America and opened a door to destruction for the local Indians.

That's why Las Vegas collapsed so quickly during this blackout.

In the eye of the storm, Terai Kinosuke looked up to the sky, trying to find the figure of Kaito Kid.

But the sky tonight was extremely dark, with no moon and few stars, and not even a bird could be seen in the sky.

The crowd in the square had almost fled at this time. Terai Kinosuke wanted to move to a tall building to see if he could find Kaitou Kidd.

But at this moment, a group of people wearing white robes were walking in the square.

They held candles, flashlights, and crosses, and the procession was solemn and solemn, without any trace of panic.

But if you think that they are lawful people who are here to uphold justice, you are totally wrong.

The man in white robe came to the center of the square, placed the candle on the ground, and began to kneel down toward the dark sky.

They kept mumbling complex and obscure hymns. Terai Huangnosuke did not dare to get too close, but only heard some sporadic words from a distance.

"The void - the universe - the shining cubehedron - the night hunter..."

"Chaos - Chaos for you - great master"

"Nyarlathotep..."

Terai Huangnosuke frowned, recorded this strange scene with a video recorder, and left in a hurry.

…

On top of the Star Hotel building, a group of people stood on the rooftop.

The leader, Lloyd, stood on the edge of the rooftop, witnessing with his own eyes the black riots that were gradually engulfing Las Vegas.

Followers of the Star Wisdom Sect, who usually hide among residents, took to the streets and gathered to kneel to the sky.

Looking at this scene, Royd actually shed tears of excitement from the corners of his eyes.

"Chaos!"

"Let the chaos continue!"

"Great Chaos of Ambush! Nyarlathotep - this is the wonderful ceremony we present to you!"

Lloyd raised his hands high and swore to a void existence in the sky with a high-pitched voice.

His madness was like that of the famous Roman tyrant Nero, who set fire to his capital city of Rome, and the fire burned for six days and seven nights.

According to unofficial records, Nero looked at Rome struggling in the flames and shouted "Burn it" and "Burn it".

Snake stood behind Lloyd, his eyes full of shock.

He was originally just ordered by the leader of the organization to kill Kaitou Kidd. Unexpectedly, things got worse and worse, and now even the entire Las Vegas is in chaos.

Even though he is ferocious, he cannot hold his head high in front of real cultists.

His relationship with Lloyd is like an ordinary Gotham gang facing Gotham's nightmare - the Joker.

What's more, ever since Lloyd started controlling the blackout, things have been happening beyond his understanding.

Ghostly noises in the darkness, black clouds in the sky...

The younger brothers behind Snake were also a little uneasy and whispered.

Although this group of people are usually relatively violent, they actually act in a relatively low-key manner. They are responsible for finding gems for "that lord", carrying out assassinations, and stealing things. They are criminals in the traditional sense.

However, whether it is the Beast Brotherhood or the Star Wisdom Cult, the core secret is the worship of that great being.

This is also an important reason why they can become allies.

If you cannot even accept that great being, it cannot be called "absolute loyalty."

"Snake, are you scared?"

Lloyd, who was standing in front, suddenly shouted, startling Snake who was standing behind and was at a loss.

Snake's shoulders trembled, "No, no."

Lloyd continued to ask: "Then why is your tone so nervous?"

"I just……"

Before Snake could finish his words, Lloyd interrupted him.

"My Lord Baron told me not only to execute Kaitou Kidd, but also to test your loyalty."

"You have frequently failed in battles with Kaitou Kidd, and you are wantonly trampling on the Baron's trust in you..."

Upon hearing this, Snake's body trembled, and beads of sweat flowed down his forehead.

"But 'that lord' is very kind and decided to give you one last chance to swear allegiance."

After Lloyd finished speaking, Snake's pupils dilated and he quickly expressed his loyalty.

"I am absolutely loyal to your lord! I..."

"No--!"

Lloyd shouted sharply and scolded Snake.

"No, Snake, it's not like that."

"It is not the baron to whom you owe allegiance, but this man."

"Allow me to introduce to you, the God of Many Faces, the Ambush of Chaos - the Night Hunter form of Nyarlathotep."

"You might as well call him a 'Night Stalker'!"

Lloyd raised his hand and pointed to the sky. At some point, a huge black cloud appeared above the rooftop.

On the swollen bat body, the fiery three-petal eyes emitted fiery rays, shining on Snake's pupils that were dilated to the extreme.

At this moment, he tasted the horror beyond death.

…

In the sky, Qin Zhibo is still controlling the hang glider flight.

Suddenly, the huge bat monster disappeared, and he was no longer visible among the buildings.

Has it been eliminated?

Or retreated temporarily?

Although Qin Zhibo cannot be sure now, there is a high probability that the monster was summoned through the medium of "black crows in the middle of the night".

The condition for summoning it is to lose the exposure to light.

And the monster itself is also afraid of light.

In fact, looking back and thinking about it, how could the thing that Nine Angels asked to steal be a mortal thing?

Qin Zhibo circled the city again and confirmed that there was no trace of monsters, so he could only end the operation.

Although he didn't steal the gem as he wished, fortunately, he and Kaitou Kidd were both safe, which was more important than anything else.

As long as the green hills remain, there will be no need to worry about running out of firewood.

Qin Zhibo planned to fly back to the Starry Sky Hotel first to check on the condition of Minase Yangmeng and the decoy doll.

Before leaving, Qin Zhibo specially put some alcohol smell on the bait puppet.

There are many people who get into trouble with alcohol in casinos, and since he is a hotel guest, the casino will not send the God of Wealth to the police station. He should just be locked up in the casino office to sober up and be given a small punishment.

Just when Qin Zhibo used the wind to fly back to the Starry Sky Hotel, he suddenly saw a huge black cloud floating on the rooftop of the hotel.

It's that monster!

A group of people on the rooftop were kneeling before the monster, seemingly performing some kind of evil prayer ceremony.

Qin Zhibo was shocked and immediately took out the disintegration ray gun.

Although the disintegration ray itself may not be good for the monster's body, Qin Zhibo remembered the way the Kunyang people fired, similar to the laser gun in Star Wars.

But the light of this gun is stronger than that of a laser gun.

Qin Zhibo controlled the glider and flew past the monster at an extremely fast speed while aiming the gun in his hand at the monster's body.

呲——

Pull the trigger, and a blue light passes through the monster's body like a lamp.

If the lighting lamp causes large-scale damage, then this beam of light causes penetrating damage.

A hole the size of a fist was directly punched through the monster's black flesh!

Lloyd, who was making an evil speech, looked back and followed the hole with his eyes.

Immediately, he let out a deafening roar.

"No--!"

Thanks to Destiny’s Pianist for the tip!
