Chapter 1070 "The Witch's Sabbat"(1/2)
The plane slowly accelerated on the take-off runway. With a violent bump, the tower outside the window became farther and farther away.
Take off...
After the plane stabilized, Qin Zhibo loosened his seat belt and took out the [laptop] he had picked up before from the prop column.
Qin Zhibo has tried this computer before. Except for the lack of a charger, all other functions can be used normally, including the network.
Turning on the computer, Qin Zhibo first searched for "deep diver".
Relevant information quickly popped up on the webpage - Deep Diver, a creature in Yusaku Moeju's "The Haze". This is a humanoid marine creature with fish characteristics. It seems to have eternal life and is a highly intelligent race.
…
Qin Zhibo couldn't help but froze when he looked at the entries and fictional pictures on the web page.
Isn't this a deep diver?
The only difference is that the "deep divers" in this world are purely fictional creatures created by Yusaku Kudo in the novel. According to interviews, they were inspired by the fish-man murals of the ancient Phoenicians and the Japanese mermaid legend.
Is this kind of novel written by Yusaku Kudo?
This should be considered...a fantasy novel?
However, in the character entry of Kudo Yusaku found by Conan, Kudo Yusaku is a science fiction novelist.
When Conan mentioned some works written by Kudo Yusaku before, Qin Zhibo didn't pay much attention. Did Kudo Yusaku write this kind of work?
Qin Zhibo once again searched for Kudo Yusaku's character entries and carefully checked every book he wrote.
Unlike the Kudo Yusaku in the original world, the Kudo Yusaku in this world mainly writes short and medium-length novels, with few full-length works.
Now when I look at the title of the book carefully, I do see something wrong.
For example, "The Witch's Sabbat"... the title of this book is related to witches at first glance.
With curiosity, Qin Zhibo searched the TXT of this book on the Internet and began to read it carefully.
…
In the cockpit, Fujiko Mine and Conan looked at the blue sky and white clouds outside the window, breathed a long sigh of relief, and took their hands off the console.
After the aircraft enters the set route, it can transform into autopilot mode.
The main responsibilities of the two pilots are to operate during takeoff, landing, and when encountering special situations.
"Kid, I didn't expect your skills to be so good~"
"Let me reward you. What drink do you want to drink? Big sister will get it for you..."
Fujiko Mine twisted her body, and her graceful figure followed the curve of the seat and lay in front of Conan.
Conan sat on the seat, not looking at Fujiko Mine, and just said casually: "Just juice."
Seeing that Conan didn't dare to look directly at him, he smiled and was about to get up and leave, but stopped again.
"Kid, don't you feel bored wearing this paper bag all the time?"
"Actually, I knew who you were when you first appeared..."
Although Conan was wearing a brown paper bag the whole time, Fujiko Mine had already guessed that the child in front of him was the elementary school student who chased her yesterday from his remarkable airplane operation skills, clothes, and size.
The irrefutable proof is that skateboard, which Conan also took with him.
It's just that the skateboard was hit by his motorcycle into the Tsumutsu River water yesterday. Fujiko Mine was a little surprised that he was able to fish the skateboard out in such a short time.
Conan touched the paper bag above his head. It wasn't that he didn't want to pick it off, but Qin Zhibo said that he should try his best to distinguish himself from the "Conan" in this world.
Even if everyone thinks that he is "Conan", he must not admit it, otherwise it may change the subsequent development of the world.
"A detective never takes off his mask..." Conan replied in a serious voice.
"Ah?" Mine Fujiko was stunned for a moment, and pretended to be angry: "Do you think you are a Mexican wrestling fighter?"
"Forget it, since you like to wear it, just wear it. I'll see how you drink later..."
Fujiko Mine twisted her waist and left the cockpit.
Conan breathed a sigh of relief and quickly took off the brown paper bag from his head so that the skin on his face could get some fresh air.
That woman is right. With this paper bag between us, how can we drink later?
You can lift the paper bag a little to expose your mouth, so you can drink from it.
But with Fujiko Mine's character, when she saw the paper bag lifted, she might take it off her head by force at any time.
Let's think of a way...
Conan looked at the two holes in the paper bag, and with an idea, he also tore a long hole in the mouth.
Now, the three holes correspond to two eyes and one mouth.
Now that everything is like this, let’s just stop doing it and make two more nostrils so that we can breathe more smoothly...
Conan used his manual skills again and tore out two nostrils on the paper bag.
Although the finished product has one big nostril and one small, which doesn’t look very beautiful, it is still functional.
Conan put the reworked mask on his head.
I feel much more comfortable now...
The reprocessed paper bag mask made Conan quite satisfied with its comfort, and the wearing effect was not compromised at all.
He couldn't believe that there were people in this world who could recognize him just by looking at his nostrils and mouth.
After doing this, Conan took advantage of his rare leisure time and took out "The Whispering in the Dark Night" that he had brought from Kudo's house.
The name of this book is the closest to the book "Duke of the Night" written by Yusaku Kudo in the original world.
Although it is only a thin hardcover booklet, it is enough to arouse Conan's interest.
Conan opened the booklet titled "The Whispering in the Dark Night" and began to read.
…
Aircraft cabin.
Princess Mira spent the night in Tokyo with Fujiko Mine last night. As soon as the plane calmed down, she fell into a chair and fell asleep.
Qin Zhibo looked at "The Witch's Banquet" on his laptop, his eyes gradually becoming restless.
As guessed at the beginning, this book is about a witch, but from the perspective of an investigator.
The story takes place during the world-famous Salem Witch Trials in 1692.
The story tells the story of a foreign reporter who came from Boston to the Salem area to report on the witch case.
At night, as soon as the reporter stepped onto the stone bridge leading to Salem Town, he encountered a "ghost beating the wall" and was trapped in the suburbs near the stone bridge, unable to enter or leave.
Not only that, the space near the stone bridge seemed to be plunged into eternal night, unable to welcome the dawn, and no pedestrians passed the stone bridge.
In this way, the reporter was trapped on the stone bridge for two full days. Not only did he have to worry about the wild beasts in the forest on the roadside coming at night, he was also about to run out of dry food he carried with him.
In this desperate environment, the reporter almost collapsed.
But at this moment, the reporter on the stone bridge met several young people who came from other places to visit Salem Town.
These young people did not take the reporter's advice seriously and cursed the reporter as a psychopath. They insisted on entering Salem Town through the stone bridge.
The result was just as the reporter expected. The team of young people turned back to the stone bridge from another direction. After several consecutive attempts, they were also trapped on the stone bridge.
Although everyone is trapped here, the reporter feels a little lucky at this moment, at least he is not alone at this moment.
But soon, everyone realized a very serious problem, that is, food shortage.
Although the stream under the stone bridge can provide a steady stream of water, the young people only carry enough food for three days.
No one wanted to sit still and wait for death, and made various attempts during the period.
For example: use markers to mark the bridge deck and road surface, send people to walk from both directions of the stone bridge at the same time, shout for help in the direction of Salem Town, and light a huge bonfire on the bridge deck to attract outsiders.
But without exception, these attempts ended in failure.
Finally, before the food ran out, they decided to give it a try and head towards the forest on both sides of the road.
Since this space was always dark, and the roars of wild beasts could be heard from time to time in the forest, during the few days they were trapped, the unarmed people did not dare to enter the forest to explore, and at least two people had to stand guard even to sleep.
But now this is the only chance to escape.
Everyone was divided into two teams. One man and all the women stayed on the bridge. The other men entered the forest with simple torches, including the reporter.
In the process of exploring the forest, everyone was highly nervous. The beasts in the forest seemed to have sensed the smell of "food" and stopped roaring one after another. However, the rustling sounds in the trees were distant and near, and could not be heard without stopping.
They explored carefully until they found a wolf waiting for them in a clearing.
The wolf's body shape was equivalent to that of an adult, its eyes glowing with pale white light were extremely fierce, and its black fur was bloody, as if it had just had a feast of flesh and blood.
Against the backdrop of the firelight, the giant wolf rushed toward people.
People who only had simple torches and wooden sticks in their hands did not dare to fight the giant wolf, and were so frightened that they scattered in the forest and fled.
The reporter ran away as fast as he could, and his speed was so fast that after a while, the rest of his companions were left behind.
The screams and desperate cries of the group of young people could be heard from time to time in the woods, but the reporter did not dare to go out and could only hide in a tree hole and tremble.
To be continued...
