Chapter 403 Snow Monster and Horror Movies
"What is this?" Dr. Ali took the plant handed over by the snow monster Martin and looked at it, and smelled it subconsciously.
Although it was handed over from a smelly snow monster, it miraculously didn't smell bad, and you could even smell a fragrance similar to tea leaves.
Dr. A Li took off a leaf and put it into his mouth. After chewing it, he found that his mouth was full of bitterness, so he quickly swallowed it. Within a few seconds, he felt a warm current flowing through his body. He had fallen hard when he was practicing skiing before. The painful tailbone also became numb and numb.
"What on earth is this, Martin?" Dr. Ali said in surprise, holding his belly.
The giant snow monster held his chin with one hand, as if this question was a bit difficult for him: "Well... should I say it is a reward for the first person to reach the finish line? Or should I say that only a screenwriter with no scientific knowledge can write it? The magic medicine?”
……
"Magic medicine?"
The children raised their heads and looked at Onoue Mahua curiously.
The companions had already set off, and Asaka Onoe, who had difficulty moving due to a leg injury, took care of the four children of the Junior Detective Team. Since they were always thinking about going out on adventures to save the doctor, Onoue Mahua started telling stories to attract their attention.
But Onoe Mahua didn't have any good stories to tell, so after much searching, she told a story about the magic medicine for snow monsters.
Rather, it is because today's script contains the 'miracle medicine' that she and her friends can still embark on the road to find the magic medicine. So before Martin's transformation happened, had she already accepted it in despair? I will be a disabled person for the rest of my life.
"Are you targeting the Doctor?" Haihara Ai deduced that in the unique plot setting of 'Today', the Doctor is a snow monster research expert named 'Martin', and they will appear here and meet It is no longer a coincidence that he and his group are together.
Onoe Mahua has a disabled leg and drags her feet when walking.
The chance encounter here was also the result of tracking, and her companions said they were going to save the doctor. In fact, Onoe Mahua knew very well that they were just taking the opportunity to search for medicinal herbs.
Then she thought of another thing: "So your purpose is to go to the snow-capped mountains to find that magic medicine? Can it heal your legs?"
A total of six people were divided into two teams to rescue the doctor who was snatched away by the snow monster. At least the team of college students did claim to do so.
Haibara Ai briefly thought of her own medicine, but then realized that even if what Onoe Asaka said was true, the exaggerated effect of the medicine could only be due to the setting of Martin's transformation.
As high as a building, this is no longer an unknown ape creature, but a monster.
"On top of the snow-capped mountains, there is a magical herb that grows. It contains a substance that is of great benefit to humans. As long as it is eaten, people can quickly recover from health."
The children were very surprised and disappointed, but Haibara Ai didn't take it seriously, not to mention that the doctor's situation has a 99% chance of being safe, and what Onoe Mahua told was not what really happened, it was just ' Today's unique script is just that.
In fact, the weight can be estimated based on the depth of the footprints in the snow, but no one present clicked this skill point.
"Everything is fine. After eating it, the wound will heal at a speed visible to the naked eye. Most diseases will be cured, including cancer, and it can even greatly extend human life." Onoe Mahua said with such assurance, as if she had seen it with her own eyes. I have seen the general: "That mysterious herb can stimulate the most primitive potential of human cells."
"This length..." Kiyama Seiji's face was a little ugly: "He is about three meters tall."
It was a huge footprint nearly half a meter long. Although it was somewhat obscured by the wind and snow, you could still tell that it had five toes, and the toes were longer than human toes.
After coming out of the hotel, they first went around to the back of the hotel, under Dr. Ali's room, and as expected, they found two rows of footprints on the ground.
This strange statement made Haihara Ai a little concerned: "Recovering health does it mean curing the disease? Or does it mean healing the wound?"
……
Onoue Mahua admitted that in order to find a magic medicine to help her cure her leg disability, her three good friends were willing to help her and worked very hard. Of course, they also wanted to get the herb to extend their life, and they could pay a high price. Sold to rich people and institutes.
"The magic medicine is monopolized by the mysterious creatures in the snowy mountains, the snow monsters. They guard the place where the magic medicine grows as their nest... So if you want to find the magic medicine, you must first find the traces of the snow monsters."
The other party looked surprised because of Haihara Ai's keenness and the revelation of his thoughts, but then he turned calm and looked at his legs.
"This leg was a year ago when I was skiing here. I... accidentally fell and broke my leg. Originally I thought I had resigned myself to my fate, but we were searching for snow monsters for our graduation project. When I was searching for information, I accidentally discovered something about the magic medicine.”
Conan noticed that Itabashi Kazuhachi quietly poked Kiyama Kaji, as if to remind him to stop talking... Yes, the ratio of human foot length to height is about one to seven, and the snow recorded in the doctor's notes The strange ratio is indeed one to six, but how did they know? And when I saw the footprints, I started to estimate without hesitation...
Is it just information that art students are looking for for their graduation projects? Something doesn't feel right.
The group of people followed the direction in which the footprints left, but after only more than 20 meters, the traces on a large piece of snow in front of them were very confusing.
"I didn't expect the snow monster to know how to destroy the traces." Akai Shuichi had a complex expression. He could see that the chaos in front of him was deliberately done to destroy the traces.
This guy Martin...does he want to hide and seek? Conan was also thinking, and he was a little concerned that he didn't see the rabbit's footprints next to the snow monster's footprints.
"Since we can't follow the footprints here, let's split up from here." Banqiao Yiba actively suggested, pointing in the direction of the top of the mountain: "Mushan, Shuozi and I will go to the mountain to have a look, and you guys will go to the woods. In here...you must be careful.”
It sounds like they were taking care of a child in Akai Shuichi's group, so they left the flat woods to them and went to climb the mountain themselves. But without waiting for Akai Shuichi's reply, Itabashi Kaizhachi, Kiyama Kaji and Ogura Sakuko immediately went up the mountain, seemingly a little impatient.
"Is this really good?" Looking at their retreating figures, Miyano Akemi said: "In horror movies, people who decide to split up often end up with very bad consequences, both for them and for us. .”
"I will protect you, Qiuya." Akai Shuichi said seriously: "As for them... To be honest, I think they are very suspicious. Even the snowman they built seems a little fishy, but now I have no time to care about other people's affairs. , and besides, snow monsters don’t act like horror movies.”
'No, it will. 'Conan hung up his dead fish eyes. He didn't understand the snow monster, but he understood Martin.
Wait, Martin's style... Conan looked back at the footprints they had followed: "Horse... that snow monster, is it possible that it was walking backwards?"
"Walk backwards?" Akai Shuichi first looked at Conan in surprise, then looked at the footprints and the direction of the hotel.
There are naturally two sets of snow monster footprints around the hotel, one close to the hotel and one far away from the hotel, and they followed the set of footprints away from the hotel here.
Walking backwards is indeed a common anti-tracking technique. If Shuichi Akai is following a person, he will definitely observe the footprints carefully to determine the direction, but as for the snow monster... Since the snow monster already knows to destroy the footprints, walking backwards is also Not impossible.
With this thought in mind, Akai Shuichi walked back a few steps, found a fairly clear footprint, and squatted down to take a closer look. He said a curse word in English.
What I should have noticed a long time ago is that it is very obvious that the further you go this way, the more blurry the footprints are covered by the snow, so this is the direction the snow monster is coming from!
"The kids are right, that snow monster actually knows how to walk backwards." The snow monster is smarter than expected, which makes Shuichi Akai feel fear and crisis: "The direction is wrong, go back quickly."
Conan has been observing 'Akaike Hideyoshi'.
Sure enough, he can observe footprints... and his observation skills, have you already suspected those four people? He also said there was something fishy about their snowman. Damn it, I didn’t notice it! Is he more observant than me?
The three of them quickened their pace and found another set of footprints next to the hotel. That was the direction the snow monster left with Dr. Ali, going around and around to another forest.
The footsteps were blurred, not because the snow monster destroyed the tracks, but because the snow in the forest was not that soft, because the snow was mainly on the trees.
However, some trees were very clean, and most of the snow fell under the trees. It was completely intuitive. Conan looked at these trees and imagined a scene: a creature started to climb up the tree from here, and then climbed up the tree. Jumping from tree to tree, its movements shook the snow away.
Is it a snow monster? No, although apes are good at jumping between trees, the giant ape, which is three meters tall and weighs half a ton, is not included in this list.
The creature in Conan's mind became clear. It was the rabbit, carrying Dr. Ali on his back and jumping between the trees and leaving here. And Martin... is still here, right?
...There are 'people' in the woods. Akai Shuichi felt it keenly.
The feeling of being watched and followed, Akai Shuichi was sure that his group had been targeted.
Damn... Could that monster be using the first human it catches as bait to lure us into a trap?
"Qiuya, kid, we're being targeted." He lowered his voice, as if hoping not to be heard by the monster: "Stand behind me, wait until I give the signal and run back!"
"Hide-kun..." Miyano Akemi didn't realize that Shuichi Akai was still carrying a gun. She was a little stunned at this time. She didn't know whether she should worry about Shuichi Akai hurting Martin.
Conan also lowered his voice and agreed: "I know." He also hinted that Miyano Akemi listened to Akai Shuichi's arrangements... Martin's Gin and more than ten people couldn't kill him, but Akai Shuichi alone?
Akai Shuichi carefully stared at various places in the woods and kept checking his surroundings, but the snow monster was gray-white, and it was a dark snowy night, so he could not see it, not at all.
The moonlight was blocked by thick clouds, and the stars were hidden in the cold mist. The light provided by the flashlight borrowed from the hotel seemed to dim. The snowflakes were hit on the face by the storm, and the north wind scraped the face like a knife.
In the silence, the sound of his own heartbeat echoed in Akai Shuichi's ears. He turned around slowly and paced slowly, each step accompanied by the crunch of snow under his feet. Suddenly, he turned around and saw a tall shadow looming in the shadow of the woods. He saw it, it was a snow monster!
His heartbeat accelerated instantly, and Shuichi Akai fired a shot in that direction without hesitation.
"Run!" Giving Akei the signal to escape, Akai Shuichi himself fired one shot after another in the direction where the figure appeared.
The sparks from the gun seemed brighter than the flashlight, and the gunshot broke the silence of the night.
The three-meter-tall giant beast was more oppressive than Akai Shuichi imagined, especially when he realized that the other party was ambushing him - it felt uncomfortable to be locked and chased by a predator as prey. It has nothing to do with courage, it's biological instinct.
The shadow of the snow monster had disappeared again. Akai Shuichi didn't know whether he had hit it or not. After confirming that Mingmei and Xiaoguitou behind him were already retreating, he also walked slowly backwards, alert. A snow monster suddenly emerged from the darkness in the woods.
"Da da da big——!" Suddenly, a strange and high-pitched voice came out, leaving Akai Shuichi stunned. "I announce that the first snowball fight competition will begin now!"
"what?"
Akai Shuichi really didn't understand what he heard in his ears.
He heard human speech, someone talking about having a snowball fight.
This is outrageous. If the snow monster is smart enough to speak human language, then it is not a snow monster, not a kind of savage, but a human being.
Yes, that's human.
Akai Shuichi suddenly laughed, feeling a little funny that he was really scared at that moment.
Sure enough, just as I had guessed at the beginning, there were no snow monsters at all, just humans pretending to be gods.
The hair is the hair of some animal that was made smelly on purpose, right?
Are the footprints made with cardboard or models?
I hope those few shots I just fired didn't scare or hit anyone... But judging from the fact that the other party was still busy organizing a snowball fight competition, it was obvious that he wasn't injured or scared.
The hot pistol could not be put back into his arms for the time being. Shuichi Akai grabbed a snowball from the ground with his right hand and walked towards the direction of the sound, ready to greet the person who came up with this stupid plan.
over there! Seeing the figure, Shuichi Akai threw a pinched snow ball with all his strength like a pitcher from Koshien. Although it was snow, it could cause considerable damage, at least pain.
However, looking at the furry 'wall' in front of him, and the snowballs that hit it and immediately shattered and disintegrated, Akai Shuichi slowly raised his head.
He saw a terrifying and scarlet face one meter higher than himself, revealing a mouth full of dagger-like fangs.
Red liquid filled the snow monster's mouth and flowed out from between its teeth. It looked like it had just eaten a child alive.
Akai Shuichi: Isn’t it a snowball fight contest?
A snowball fight, of course.
Then Akai Shuichi continued to look up and found that in the hands raised by the snow monster was a ball of condensed snow that was as big as a person.
Bang! Shuichi Akai was knocked down by a huge snow block and buried.
Martin, the ketchup-mouthed snow monster: It’s just a snowball fight.
