After digesting the content of the first four chapters, Qin Zhibo started reading the fifth chapter non-stop.

Chapter 5: Deep Divers, Human Believers and Time and Space

Deep Diver is an absolute "old friend" to Qin Zhibo.

The deep divers described by Xuanjun are called "mermaids" and are found in most inhabited places along the southern coast.

Most of the small villages along the coast make a living by fishing. In order to pray for a rich catch in the coming year, the villages offer boys and girls to the "undersea sharks" every year.

In fact, this is the method of the deep divers.

As long as they drive fish away from the seabed, they can reduce fishermen's catches.

Sometimes they even attack fishing boats to coerce humans into performing sacrificial rituals.

During this process, some humans began to truly believe in the sharks.

After a period of evolution, these human beings who believe in the sharks will gradually become ugly and hateful, and eventually they will become similar to the sharks.

Qin Zhibo is very familiar with this part of the evolution history from humans to deep divers.

Shimabukuro Kimie's father on the American island is on the verge of transforming humans into deep divers.

However, with the rapid development of modern science and technology, STK Company has developed targeted drugs to combat transformation.

In the second half of Chapter 5, the proposition is called "time and space"

It's another obscure ancient text and image. It probably means that as long as you master the method of traveling through time and space, you can shrink into an inch, control the wind and rain, and be omnipotent.

As for this method, it is called "Liao Dan".

Liao Dan can make a person's "back eyes like ears, ears like nose, nose like mouth, mouth like skin, heart condensed and shape released, and bones and flesh melted."

Qin Zhibo thought about it carefully. This probably means that the consciousness is separated from the shackles of the body, almost out of body.

After taking Liao Dan, the consciousness can turn hundreds of miles into one mile, and travel to the past time at will, which is also known as "Zhejing".

Time is divided into two types, "curved state" and "folded state".

Qujing represents the curvilinear time, flowing into the future, with regularity and order.

Zhejing represents the zigzag line of time, leading to the past, which is chaotic and disorderly.

Traveling back in time is equivalent to traveling through zigzag time, which is very dangerous.

Because there is a creature in the zigzag time called "Hound of Tindalos".

This kind of creature has various forms and mainly existed on the earth in the ancient times.

When time travelers travel through time in the past, they are likely to be discovered by hounds and chased.

And once your face is seen by the hounds of Tindalos, you will be unable to escape tracking for the rest of your life, until you die.

Therefore, the benefits and risks of taking Liaodan are great.

The production method of Liaodan is not complicated. It is made from nine Chinese herbal medicines: calamus, cinnamon core, schisandra chinensis, rehmannia root, atractylodes, asparagus, poria, polygala, nutmeg and some auxiliary materials.

The made Liao Dan has a white and bright color, a hard case and different aromas and odors.

The "different fragrances and smells" does not mean that Liaodan may be smelly or fragrant, but that different people will smell different smells.

People who have traveled through time will smell the fragrance of Liao Dan.

People who have not traveled through time will only smell the stench of Liaodan.

Seeing this, Qin Zhibo was stunned for a moment.

Isn't this Liao Dan the strange bead he got at Kudo Shinichi's house?

Only he and Conan could smell the fragrance of that bead, and everyone else could smell the stench.

Does this mean that he and Conan have already traveled through time?

Qin Zhibo thought for a few seconds and suddenly figured it out.

Not long ago, I and Conan traveled to a parallel world, which should be the so-called "time travel".

Because from the timeline, the parallel world next door seems to be slower than this world.

Invisibly, they not only traveled through space, but also traveled through time...

But why did Kudo Shinichi hold on to Liao Dan before he died?

Or did the murderer put Liao Dan into Kudo Shinichi's hand?

No matter which of the two, they are inseparable from the Xuanjun Seven Chapters Secret Book found in the cabin.

However, judging from Inufushi Chiko's performance, he does not look like a man who has mastered many Taoist spells.

The methods he used were still ordinary crime modus operandi.

And if the real murderer is him, why does the requirement for the main mission include 72 hours of survival?

While Qin Zhibo was thinking about the case, a misty voice suddenly sounded in his ears as if coming from afar.

"Mr. Qin?"

"Mr. Qin..."

Qin Zhibo immediately exited the reading mode and returned to reality.

Looking back, I saw Inubushi Yukihime standing at the door of the guest room, asking with a worried look: "Sorry, I saw that the lights here were not turned off, so I thought you might not be asleep yet..."

"The midnight snack is ready. Do you want to have a midnight snack?"

Qin Zhibo was startled and raised the watch on his wrist to check the time.

It's already 1 o'clock in the evening.

Unconsciously, I read the book for three hours.

Even if this mythological classic has an investigation function, it is extremely difficult to read and consumes a lot of energy.

Gugu...

After being mentioned like this by Yuki Ji, I felt really hungry.

…

Under the leadership of Xing Ji, Qin Zhibo came to the dining room.

At the table in the dining room, Hattori Heiji and Conan were already sitting aside, picking up their rice bowls and starting to cook.

Sitting across from them were Mao Lilan and Toyama Kazuye, who had not eaten and were sitting and playing with their mobile phones.
