[Mission goal: Enter the dark abyss of the underground world—Enkai]
[Task requirements: no time limit, no limit on location]
[Task reward: 30,000 skill proficiency, ten consecutive draws × 1]
Underworld? Enkai?
Qin Zhibo has never heard of such a place, but the mission reward is very tempting to Qin Zhibo. It is the most generous mission reward Qin Zhibo has ever seen.
But now Qin Zhibo can neither carry out this task nor ask Mr. Clock where Enkai is.
Judging from Mr. Clock's attitude, this fragment is very important to him.
If Mr. Clock is an extreme occultist, and everyone who discovers his secrets will be killed, wouldn't he just fall into a trap?
So now Qin Zhibo has chosen to remain silent.
Collecting the pieces of Panest, Mr. Clock bowed deeply to Qin Zhibo in a human way and expressed his gratitude.
"I owe you a favor now, Mr. Qin Zhibo."
"If you need my help with anything, you can call me at any time. I will remain a human being for a while."
Qin Zhibo looked at his personal network and Mr. Clock appeared on it.
But it is not a friend zone, but a cooperation zone.
Back at the office, Qin Zhibo immediately called Xianna Xiangbaori and asked her about the acquaintance process with Nakamura Cao.
"It's nothing special. She is also an author of mystery novels. I got to know her as a colleague from time to time."
"But we had been exchanging letters before. We were planning to meet for the first time today, but this happened."
From the evening news, Niina Kahori had already seen the news that two gangsters kidnapped a woman named "Nakamura Misao" in the villa.
When Xiang Baoli said this, Qin Zhibo thought of the two fat and thin gangsters in the morning.
According to their own account, they belong to a group of thieves called "Wind Fairies", with a total of eight people in the group.
A while ago, the leader of the band of thieves, Mr. Monoshiro, announced that he has terminal cancer and will die soon, so he will disband the band of thieves and distribute most of the stolen treasures to his men.
It's just that these two thieves still coveted the gem-encrusted watch, so they came here to look for it, but they happened to meet "Nakamura Misao" who had moved into the villa at some time.
In fact, "Cao Nakamura" is Mr. Clock's disguise in human society. With his superhuman strength, he can completely subdue the two gangsters.
However, there was a detective coming to visit later, and he had to maintain his identity as a human being, so Mr. Clock did not choose to reveal his identity, but acted out the normal reaction of an ordinary human woman when encountering a gangster.
It is even possible that when Qin Zhibo approached the villa, Mr. Clock sensed the presence of another person at the scene, so he was not in a hurry to expose his abilities to deal with the two gangsters.
In fact, his disguise was really good, and Qin Zhibo would not have been able to detect it if it weren't for the investigation of the second type of contact.
"Do you plan to meet her again in the future?" Qin Zhibo asked on the phone.
"Of course, is there anything wrong?"
"It's nothing." Qin Zhibo said meaningfully, "But it's best to invite her to where you live, and then"
"Be careful."
Qin Zhibo did not tell Xiang Baoli about the existence of Mr. Clock, but only gave some instructions.
Mr. Clock is an alien who is committed to hiding in human society. He will not reveal his identity without an extremely special reason.
In the next few days, Qin Zhibo continued to work as a detective while learning Latin.
Without the skills training accelerator card, the learning progress of Latin is not very fast.
In addition, as the famous detective Qin Zhibo gradually became famous, the office was not as sparse as before, which directly caused Qin Zhibo to be delayed by the detective's daily work every day, which delayed some of his study time.
When he had some free time, Qin Zhibo went to visit Koizumi Hongzi’s witch’s house.
Although in Qin Zhibo's sense of time, he has not visited the witch's house for a long time, after all, he now has a new way to replenish the magic.
But in Koizumi Hongzi's sense of time, Qin Zhibo was just paying a routine visit this week.
"What kind of magic do you want to learn today? Tell me about it?"
Whenever Koizumi Hongzi is in a good mood, she will offer to teach Qin Zhibo some magic.
And Qin Zhibo did have an idea.
"Is there any magic that can prevent other creatures from spying on one's own inner fluctuations? Magic like anti-telepathy."
Qin Zhibo made this request because Qin Zhibo hoped that he could have more means of self-protection when facing Mr. Clock.
Although we know that Mr. Clock's ability may only vaguely sense his own psychological fluctuations, rather than accurately read his thoughts, such an ability is also fatal to Qin Zhibo, a possessor of invisibility abilities.
This means that the invisible ring has no effect in front of Mr. Clock.
Koizumi Anko pointed her finger on her chin and thought for a while, then shook her head.
"I don't remember this type of magic in red magic."
"But can you tell me why you need this magic?"
Qin Zhibo thought for a moment.
Koizumi Anko is now considered a solid ally on the mysterious side. Although she is only a girl, she is still quite reliable.
So Qin Zhibo decided to tell Koizumi Hongzi what happened to him.
Under Qin Zhibo's narration, Koizumi Hongzi's eyes opened wider and wider, and the incredible expression on her face was undisguised.
When Qin Zhibo finished speaking, Koizumi Hongzi was still there in a daze for a long time.
Koizumi Anko didn't ask "Are you telling the truth?" because people who take the magic item-slave chocolate will not lie to their master.
So Koizumi Hongzi believes that Qin Zhibo is telling the truth.
But even if Koizumi Anko searched through the memories in her brain, she could not remember that there was a strange creature called "Mi-Go" recorded in the magic book passed down from generation to generation by the Red Magic family.
From the surprised reaction on Koizumi Hongzi's face, Qin Zhibo guessed that Koizumi Hongzi didn't know Mi-Go either.
But when Qin Zhibo continued to ask "Enkai", Koizumi Hongzi's eyes lit up, and she suddenly ran to the old bookshelf next to her to search.
After a while, a heavy book was pulled out.
Slender fingers slid over the catalog, and Koizumi Hongzi quickly found the corresponding position.
"right here!"
Koizumi Hongzi's face was obviously excited, and she read the text in the book with excitement.
"In the underground world - Kunyang, there are countless underground passages and tunnels connected to the surface world, and the entire underground world is under a blue sky that emits the northern lights."
"There is mainly a species called Kunyang people living there. They are almost the same as humans on the surface. Most of them live together in a Kunyang city called 'Zato'."
"Kunyang has not only plains, peaks and hills, but also some dark abysses that extend to the unfathomable depths of the earth."
"One of the dark abyss is called 'Enkai', and it is the resting place of the Lord of 'Tsato'."
