When investigating the manuscript, Mamiya Sadaki first visited most of the artists in the country.
Among them are musicians, sculptors, painters, etc., who all suffered from varying degrees of illness after March 25, 1980.
[Among them, the one with the most severe symptoms and the most typical symptoms is the famous sculptor Mr. Masaru Akutsu]
Seeing this name, Qin Zhibo had some impressions.
Isn't this the father of the sculptor Akutsu Makoto whom I investigated before?
[Matake Akutsu is a talented sculptor. During the few hours during the day when his madness subsided, he once told his dreams personally]
[He dreamed of a majestic city composed of majestic boulders and sky-high beams, and everywhere was covered with wet green mud algae]
[Even through dreams, you can really feel the danger and ominousness there, and the atmosphere of terror permeates this extremely depressing underwater city]
[In a certain direction where the location cannot be determined, he heard a sound that was not a voice]
[It is not so much a sound as it is a chaotic feeling. It requires appropriate 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 pronounce this word.
However, in Mamiya Sadaki's manuscript, the transliteration of this word is very thoughtfully posted below it.
"gram..."
"Sulu..."
"Cthulhu Futan!"
For some reason, when Qin Zhibo finished spelling out the entire vocabulary, his tone of voice unconsciously rose, as if his brain had actively added some emotion to it.
After the emotion calmed down a little, 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 pronounce seems to be...
"Cthulhu Futan..."
Qin Zhibo silently recorded this "made-up" word in his mind and continued reading the manuscript.
The content of the later manuscript details Akutsu Masaki's madness, which is so different from what Qin Zhibo learned about at the time that it is not worth repeating.
[Except for Mr. Akutsu Matake, most domestic artists are more or less aware of this bizarre dream about the city of megaliths, except for one person...]
[During my visit and investigation, I had the honor to visit Mr. Keiji Aso, a musician who had just finished his tour in the United States and returned to Japan]
[Aso Keiji said that he has not had any dreams about the underwater megalithic city recently, but another unusual and strange dream...]
[It was a king sitting on the throne, wearing a ragged yellow shirt, holding out his palm to him]
[When he couldn't help but be attracted by Wang's charm and handed his hand out, he found that the hand hidden under the yellow shirt was a hand with skin as pale as a dead man and no blood vessels]
[This kind of dream has been bothering him for a long time...]
[This is very strange. Among the many artists I visited, I have not heard of such dreams. Therefore, the dream that troubles Mr. Keiji Aso may have nothing to do with the content of my ongoing investigation]
[In addition to domestic, foreign artists have also visited. The contents of the dreams are similar. Several foreign artists also mentioned that they dreamed of a voice, which is pronounced like Cthulhu fhtagn]
【This is definitely not a coincidence!】
[But the specific reason remains to be investigated...]
[During my stay in the United States, I stopped by Miskatonic University, my father-in-law’s alma mater]
[Miskatonic University has just suffered a major flood, and half of the campus was almost destroyed. I brought my sincere greetings and donations to my father-in-law who is now bedridden]
[While staying 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 secret pagan beliefs]
[For example, on the Hawaiian Islands, the legend of Kanaloa, the creator god, has been circulating since ancient times]
[That is a kind of ocean god that looks like a squid. In the creation myth of Hawaii, it was he who caused the great flood and caused the sinking of Kanu Island]
[So Vince Chin is implying that Cthulhu fhtagn had something to do with the great flood that hit Miskatonic?]
[When I wanted to continue asking, he remained silent again...]

[After reading, a total of 2 points of will points have been lost, current will: 83]
[Acquire 200 points of mysterious mythological knowledge and skills]
[Congratulations on completing the main mission and unlocking the main achievement mission]
[Achievement Mission: Investigate the statue of Akutsu Masaki]
[Task requirements: no time limit, no limit on location]
[Task reward: 2000 general skill proficiency]
This task...
Qin Zhibo took a closer look at the content of the unlocked achievement tasks and felt a little familiar.
I have already paid homage to the foreign Bodhisattva!
At this time, the system continues to send task settlements.
[Congratulations on completing the main achievement mission!]
[Acquire 2000 general skill proficiency.]
Qin Zhibo: "..."
The mission was completed immediately. It seems that as long as you visited the foreign Bodhisattva before, the mission was completed.
Qin Zhibo currently has a general skill proficiency of 2570, and the numbers don't look so dry anymore.
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 "me"...
Qin Zhibo still remembers that his real name was Vince Qin. He was 21 years old in 1980, which was the time when he was going to college.
In other words, the Vince Chin whom Mamiya Sadaki met 16 years ago was actually myself?
In other words, he is the original owner of this body.
This is really a huge coincidence...
After 16 years, I never expected to see each other again in this way.
It's just that you were a handsome gentleman at that time, and now you are hanging on the wall lifelike...
And judging from Mamiya Sadaki's description of himself, "he" is the one who knows the truth about "Cthulhu fhtagn".
"Self" mentioned the beliefs of the Hidden Order, Kanaloa, the Hawaiian creator god...
Qin Zhibo thought of his Hawaiian origins, and it was normal for him to know some Hawaiian mythology.
Could this have something to do with those postcards that keep coming from Hawaii?
And the Miskatonic flood, was it also caused by Cthulhu fhtagn?
...
The next day, Qin Zhibo didn't wake up until close to noon, and so did everyone in the Young Detective Team.
At the dinner table, Conan kept yawning, which made the three little ones a little worried about Conan's condition.
Before Qin Zhibo ate, he went to the kitchen as a routine to check on Matsumoto Ryohei, only to find that the castle's own butler and chef were preparing breakfast in the kitchen.
Mamiya Mitsuru said: "If you are looking for Mr. Matsumoto, he has something to do and goes back first."
"It is said that the items for the museum's exhibition have been shipped to Japan..."
