Conan's grammatical investigator

Chapter 329 Exploring the Spider Lair
In the forest, the woman named Takeda Misa was running wildly with the puppet on her shoulders, and Qin Zhibo was chasing after her.

The fishing line tied to the puppet occasionally gets entangled in the bushes of the forest, but this does not hinder the pace of "Misa Takeda" in the slightest.

She was as strong as a moving car, and the fishing line was easily broken by her.

Weird!
She's acting weird!
Qin Zhibo didn't understand what "Takeda Misa" meant, but judging logically, her various behaviors had deviated from human common sense.

There is no body investigation, which means she is not dead yet.

But how did she survive these three years?Is it Master Xuebei?

And why did she take the puppet away?

And her physical strength is also somewhat abnormal.

With these questions in mind, Qin Zhibo followed "Takeda Misa" all the way to a huge banyan tree in the forest.

This banyan tree was discovered by Qin Zhibo on the first day, but nothing unusual was found at that time.

But now, the huge roots exposed to the soil actually opened a hole.

The opening of the cave is so large that an adult can enter it with a slight bend, and only the deep and terrifying darkness can be seen inside.

"Takeda Misa" ran straight into the entrance of the cave with the puppet in his arms, and Qin Zhibo, who followed him, stopped outside the entrance of the cave and watched for a while.

Qin Zhibo believed that he would never miss such a conspicuous hole yesterday, so the hole must have opened suddenly.

"Could it be that this is the spider's lair?"

Qin Zhibo stretched his head to look inside, and there was no other smell except for the smell of humus in the soil, but there were a lot of off-white spider webs sticking to it as far as he could see, like a coiled silk hole.

There are various signs that this is the spider's nest.

And the main challenge task is to enter it to die, of course Qin Zhibo can only choose to enter without hesitation.

Taking a last breath of fresh air outside, Qin Zhibo got into the cave.

In the dark cave, Qin Zhibo did not use a lighter as lighting, but a night vision device.

This makes it easier to disturb what's inside.
"Takeda Misa" had already run away, but Qin Zhibo didn't bother to track her down.

After all, the task is to explore the spider's nest, not to track someone.

Moreover, the interior of this place is not as intricate as imagined, and there is only a sloping downward passage in front of it for animals of the size of humans to pass through.

Layers of spider webs on top of his head, like a thousand-layer cake, can almost stick to Qin Zhibo's scalp. On each spider web, there are spiders crawling and waiting for their prey.

Qin Zhibo is not sure whether there are insects and moths that can enter here and let so many spiders prey on them, but in fact, since they choose to build their webs here, it means that there is food to find here.

Fortunately, Qin Zhibo is not afraid of spiders, nor does he have claustrophobia or trypophobia, otherwise the torment here would be comparable to purgatory.

The road ahead is ambiguous, but fortunately there is a turning point.

In the field of vision of Qin Zhibo's night vision device, the cave in front suddenly opened up, and a huge space like a gourd hanging upside down opened up inside this underground.

Qin Zhibo stretched out his head to look inside, but was immediately stunned by the scene in front of him.

This space with a gourd structure is almost as large as three basketball courts in cross-section.

On the curved surface of the cave, a large number of strangely shaped caves are spread all over it.

Hundreds no, thousands!
They seem to come from different spatial dimensions, some are made of strange stones that are not common in life, some are loose soil covered with narrow spider webs, and some even simply protrude from a thick plant root.

It is difficult to tell how this strange phenomenon came about, but what is certain is that these caves are woven together in a strange way by some inexplicable force, like a spider's web.

And this gourd-like space is the center of the spider web!
Stepping on the edge of the cave under his feet, Qin Zhibo leaned forward slightly while maintaining his balance, to look at the bottom of the gourd space.

Due to the particularity of the spatial structure here, Qin Zhibo could only vaguely see that it might be a deep cave like a deep well vertically downward.

An extremely evil aura emanates from the hole with a diameter of about three meters, and no one can tell where the darkness that even the night vision device can't detect one or two leads to.

Perhaps the "dark and lightless underworld" inhabited by Ludwig Pulin's spider god, Atlach Nakya, lies beneath that cave.
According to Qin Zhibo's guess, this mission is the same as the first challenge mission, only by going deep into the (zuo) search (si) can the complete mission reward be obtained, which is to enter the hidden cave.

But from a security point of view, Qin Zhibo didn't want to confront the Spider God head-on.

In the face of completely unpredictable dangers, the human instinct and nature is to shrink back. Only a small number of investigators would rather risk death to satisfy their curiosity.

Perhaps when choosing this step, the will and thoughts of these investigators no longer belong to them.

But Qin Zhibo's brain is now sober.

That place is too dangerous, it's time to stop.
Confirming this judgment in his heart, Qin Zhibo was about to turn around and go back the same way, but saw "Takeda Misa" standing behind him.

Her eyes are blank, her expression is indifferent, and her mind is open.
As a man, Qin Zhibo glanced down unconsciously.

At this moment of glimpse, "Takeda Misa" suddenly raised his hand and pushed Qin Zhibo.

Unreasonable power erupted on the slender gray arms, Qin Zhibo had no time to guard against, his body lost his balance and fell on the cave wall.

Since the entrance where Qin Zhibo was located was almost the bottom row, Qin Zhibo's body had no chance to slide into other openings, and could only slide towards the deep opening that he least wanted to set foot on like oil poured into a funnel.

Although under the blessing of friction, the sliding speed is not fast, but it is inevitable.

Qin Zhibo was quick to get wise, and quickly took out [Flying Claw] from the props bar

When the flying claws were thrown, the solid investigator's hand bones grabbed the edge of the cave where he stood before, avoiding the downward trend.

But even so, Qin Zhibo couldn't judge that he had escaped from the trap.

Because "Takeda Misa" jumped down from the entrance of the cave again, and stepped on the inclined surface that humans could not stand on with all four feet on the ground.

She prostrated herself on the ground, turning her head from side to side at a terrifying angle a few times.

Suddenly, the skin on the top of "Takeda Misa"'s head cracked, making a tearing sound.

She actually cracked!
Under the cracked human skin, it wasn't bright red flesh and blood, but pitch-black spider feet!

One, two, three.
A total of eight spiders had an indescribable mucus stuck between their legs, replacing the organ previously known as the "skull".
