At the same time, Conan in the hotel's large suite suddenly woke up from the bed after hearing a loud noise.

The loud rumbling noise accompanied by the slight vibration of the ground made him look startled, and he quickly pushed Mao Lilan who was sleeping next to him.

"Xiaolan! There's an earthquake!"

If it were an ordinary earthquake, Conan would have been used to it. Anyway, in Japan, there would be earthquakes every three days.

But that loud rumbling noise must have been caused by something collapsing to cause such a loud noise.

Earthquakes that can cause collapse are definitely not ordinary earthquakes and must be taken seriously.

The shaking woke up Mao Lilan, and the two of them quickly got under the bed and waited quietly as they had been trained in earthquake prevention since childhood.

The tremors on the ground lasted for more than a minute and then ended.

The two of them seized the opportunity, climbed out of the bed and ran to Qin Zhibo's room.

"Mr. Qin!"

"There's an earthquake! Run out quickly!"

According to earthquake experience, there is generally a golden time to escape after the first wave of earthquakes ends and before the second wave of aftershocks arrive.

If you live on a low floor and can escape from the building in time, you can consider moving to an open space outside.

Fortunately, the resort hotel here only has a maximum of three floors, which is indeed not high.

But Mao Lilan knocked on the door twice, but no one responded.

Conan was decisive and unscrewed the door handle and broke into the room, only to find that there was no one on the bed.

Conan's eyes sharpened, and he quickly ran to the bed and stretched out his hand to touch the quilt. It was already cold.

Looking back at the coat hanger, the brown windbreaker on it was also gone.

"Uncle Qin has gone out a long time ago, let's run away!"

By the time the two ran downstairs holding hands, more hotel staff had gathered downstairs, looking in the direction of Tianbu Mountain in surprise.

"Oh my God! What happened to Tianbu Mountain?"

"What's going on?"

"Look at the statue of the goddess! The statue of the goddess!"

Everyone was surprised, Conan and Mao Lilan were also heading in that direction.

Under the bright white moonlight, the head of the goddess statue, the symbol of Tianbu Mountain, was missing.

Halfway up the mountain, the holy head is missing from the straight body of the goddess statue.

The mountain vertebra on which the goddess statue rested, where the observation deck was built, collapsed by more than half. Countless rocks rolled down the hillside and were scattered around the hotel in a mess.

Conan just glanced at it and suddenly spotted a brown figure lying on the grass.

After taking a closer look, it turned out to be Qin Zhibo.

"Sister Xiaolan! Uncle Qin is over there!"

The shocked Mao Lilan forcibly looked away from the headless goddess statue and ran towards Qin Zhibo.

"Mr. Qin! What's wrong with you?"

The two men quickly helped Qin Zhibo up, but found that Qin Zhibo had his eyes closed tightly, as if he could not see.

"Mr. Qin, what's wrong with your eyes?"

"The Shoggoths... seem to have been blinded by sand and gravel."

Based on the voices of the crowd, Qin Zhibo judged that he was now near the hotel at the foot of the mountain, so he made up an excuse based on circumstances.

In fact, his eyes are now bound by those mysterious branch tentacles and he cannot open them for a short time.

Mao Lilan didn't pay attention to Qin Zhibo's raving, and quickly helped him walk to the hotel, saying that he wanted to find water to rinse his eyes first.

Out of professional habit, Conan narrowed his eyes and looked at the limping Qin Zhibo.

There is a lot of dust on the windbreaker. It doesn't look like it was hit by an earthquake just after coming out.

It's so late, what is he doing out here?

Just when Conan wanted to follow Mao Lilan and test Qin Zhibo, the hotel staff around him suddenly let out a scream.

"ah--!"

"There are dead people!"

Conan's eyes changed and he quickly ran over to watch.

I saw Eizo Domoto lying on the grass of the hotel with a face full of horror, and behind him was a mold of flesh and blood that had been brutally chopped countless times with some kind of sharp weapon.

Soon, a large number of police and firefighters arrived at the foot of Tianbu Mountain, and rescue vehicles crowded the parking lot.

The police immediately examined Domoto Eizo's body and found that the marks on the body were not caused by rocks, but were stabbed or even bitten by some kind of sharp weapon?

In addition, Domoto Eizo's body suffered comminuted fractures all over his body and multiple impact injuries. Therefore, it is speculated that the grassland behind the hotel was not the first scene of the incident, and the specific situation needs to continue to be investigated.

This strange way of death immediately spread throughout the country.

In addition, although nearby villagers and people in Tianbu Mountain insisted that an earthquake had occurred, according to information from the Seismological Bureau, no relevant data was detected before the earthquake occurred.

There was an earthquake, but it didn’t happen?

What's even more terrifying is that the head of the goddess statue is missing.

The boss of Lianhe Domoto Tourism Company died unexpectedly, which is very strange.

For a time, people were panicked, and various speculations spread like wildfire.

But the most widely circulated theory is the curse of the goddess statue.
