Chapter 488 Invitation
Author: Xibeimao
The four walls of the entertainment room were covered with paintings. Of course, Duanmuhuai didn't know the order, but luckily the paintings were numbered, which saved them trouble.
After a rough scan, Duanmuhuai discovered that these paintings basically depict ghouls. The first painting depicts Arkham City. The upper part shows the citizens of Arkham living on the ground, and the lower part depicts them.
In the sewer pipes beneath my feet, groups of ghouls were scurrying around like rats.
In the second painting, several ghouls sneaked into a house silently, stole the baby of that house, and then placed an ugly and evil little ghoul in the cradle.
In the third painting, the human baby seems to have grown up and turned into a child. He is trying to eat dead people under the guidance of the ghouls. At the same time, in the other half of the painting that is divided into two, the civet cat changes
The prince's little ghoul also grew up. Although he looked no different from humans, the ferocious twisted expression and malicious smile already spoke for itself.
In the next scene, the human baby who was captured into the ghoul group turned into a ghoul, and the ghoul that mixed into the human world stood on a high mountain, reaching out his hand with great momentum.
Pointing to Arkham City below, behind him were hundreds of ghouls.
The scene after this is basically how ghouls attacked Arkham City and killed humans. They emerged from the gaps in the ground and slaughtered all the humans in the subway station. Or they hid in the grass in the park,
Treating pedestrians as prey. The entire Arkham City was under the attack of ghouls, with smoke billowing and corpses strewn everywhere...
What can I say... daydreaming is pretty good.
"Lord Knight? Do these paintings look scary??"
Duanmu Huai glanced at the oil painting in front of him and rolled his eyes speechlessly. Lorena also blinked curiously, although the pictures drawn by this artist were indeed disgusting, especially those with torn internal organs.
The human corpses devouring flesh and blood, and the army of ghouls crawling on the corpses, just looking at them makes it seem like they are all alive. It seems as if the ghoul's big mouth will close the next moment, tearing apart.
Biting flesh and blood, even just looking at the picture, a strong smell of blood rushes towards you.
Even if this thing holds an art exhibition, it won't be possible without a 21+, it's even more disgusting than a B-grade plasma tablet.
It's indeed disgusting to say it's disgusting, but to say it's scary...well, Duanmuhuai said this is normal.
"It's scary enough for people in this world."
"can you?"
"Of course, you have to know that people in this world don't usually see any monsters. For them, ghosts are just legendary existences."
Duanmu Huai spread his hands helplessly. In fact, this is normal. Lorena was born in the Holy City. As a roving priest, many monsters died under her hands. Not to mention that Lorena followed Duanmu Huai everywhere every day.
Yeah, I haven't seen any monsters before. Things like ghouls really can't scare her.
But it is different for people in this world. Vampires, ghouls, and ghosts are all superstitious and fantasy to them. If you witness this with your own eyes, your outlook will be completely ruined.
So despite the heart-wrenching words written in the diary, for Duanmu Huai and Lorena... that's all.
Of course, another reason is that this is an entry-level teaching mission after all. From the current point of view, their enemies are lower-level races such as ghouls. The likes of Bayaki Star Color Dagon haven't shown up yet.
, the real threat is yet to come.
Not to mention the great existence...
In an RPG, they are just fighting slimes, and they are still far from the final boss.
"Okay, now we can basically determine what happened. That Cliff should be a ghoul who came to the human world, and his purpose is to lead an army of ghouls to destroy Arkham City? This group of ghouls
The zombies really have no brains. This is the year 2000, not 1900..."
It has to be said that after confirming the other party's ambition, Duanmu Huai was speechless. If this were 1900, you ghoul might still be able to succeed with the help of your tough body and weird appearance. But now it's 2000.
, you dare to go out and fight tanks? What's wrong with living impatiently?
“Meow——————!!”
Just when Duanmuhuai was thinking, Lingnu seemed to have discovered something. She stretched out her front paws and patted Duanmuhuai's face, pointing to the depths of the entertainment room. Duanmuhuai turned around and saw that there was another door there. He opened it.
He opened the door, walked through the corridor, and came to the end. Judging from the location, this should be the study room. At this moment, through the thick door panel, Duanmu Huai could hear intermittent sounds coming from inside, as if someone was roaring.
So Duanmu Huai turned around without hesitation and kicked the door open.
"boom!"
As Duanmuhuai kicked the door open, he saw in the middle of the floor of the room where blood was flying, a magic circle formed by the condensation of blood was clearly in sight. And in the magic circle, there was a tied man
, a middle-aged man wearing a well-dressed suit. His eyes were round, and his face was full of pain and fear.
Outside the magic circle, there stood a guy wrapped in a black robe, who looked like a cultist at first glance. And at his feet, there were several ghouls kneeling, looking like they were in progress
Some kind of ritual.
They were so focused that when Duanmu Huai suddenly kicked open the door, everyone was startled. Even the middle-aged man who was tied to the chair and located in the center of the magic circle temporarily gave up his struggle.
He stared at Duanmu Huai with wide eyes——then rolled his eyes and fainted.
"………………"
Duanmuhuai knew what the result was without looking at the system prompts.
"who are you?"
Seeing Duanmu Huai, the man in black robe who presided over the ceremony was also startled. He widened his eyes in horror and looked at the fierce and fierce man who broke in through the door. His body could not stop trembling, but soon, he seemed to have thought of
He hurriedly took out a twisted and weird statue from his arms and held it high.
"No matter who you are, you can't stop the ceremony, as long as..."
However, the man in black robe did not finish what he said, because at this moment, the strange statue in his hand suddenly exploded, and then, a mist full of stench emerged from it and spread to all directions. The stench was so unpleasant that it
As for Duanmuhuai and Lorena, they also hurriedly exited the room.
At the same time, a shrill scream came from the fog, and then Duanmu Huai saw a black shadow suddenly jump out of it, open its bloody mouth, and rush towards him!
It was a weird, twisted, dark monster. It was about ten meters long, with bat-like wings on its body, and its head was not like a snake. On the contrary, it was a huge, rotten black monster.
The spaghetti has a huge hollow in the middle of its body, and its head looks more like a monster like a worm. When it opens its bloody mouth, Duanmuhuai can even clearly see the inside.
The entire mouth is filled with sharp teeth that are constantly rotating and moving.
"What a piece of shit!"
An ordinary person would have panicked when faced with such a terrifying and huge monster. But Duanmuhuai was not afraid at all. He roared, stretched out his arms suddenly, and grabbed the monster tightly.
At the same time, Duanmuhuai glanced at Lorena and the maid and gave them orders.
"Go and catch the people inside!"
After hearing Duanmuhuai's order, Lorena nodded and rushed into the room with the maid.
At the same time, the huge strange snake in Duanmu Huai's hand, which was almost as thick as a human, was still shaking its head desperately, opening its bloody mouth, trying to swallow Duanmu Huai whole.
"I think you are tired of living!"
At this moment, Duanmu Huai was also angered by the strange snake's struggle. He shouted loudly, and immediately tore the body of the strange snake deeply with his fingers and penetrated directly into its body. The almost suffocating stench started from
Thick, dark green blood spurted out from the wound. The strange snake under attack twisted its body desperately, trying to break free from Duanmu Huai's hands.
But it was too late at this moment. Its ever-changing, plasticine-like body was directly penetrated by Duanmuhuai's hands, and then Duanmuhuai grabbed its flesh and blood - he could even feel it.
The flesh and blood can't help but squirm, and there are countless tentacle-like touches, as if hundreds of cockroaches are crawling across his hands.
"go to hell!"
Duanmu Huai suddenly opened his arms and tore the huge strange snake in half from the middle. The strange snake that was completely torn apart let out a scream, then collapsed to the ground softly, and then gradually
It melted and turned into a thick, smelly liquid.
"Tsk, that's really troublesome."
Looking at the stinking liquid on his body, Duanmu Huai patted his chest in disgust. It was inconvenient to have no weapons. Unfortunately, there are no thunder warhammers and chain swords in this world. It is obviously a bit difficult to fight with just two hands.
Not very suitable, and his shooting skills are basically negative... Well, it seems that after returning this time, he also needs to find a suitable weapon for himself.
At this point, everything has basically come to an end. The middle-aged man who was used as a sacrifice was rescued. In fact, he is his distant relative in the setting, the unlucky art dealer. And the black-robed cultist is Ke
Reeve, it's just a pity that he didn't seem to be sure when he summoned the strange snake through the statue, and as a result, half of his body was bitten off by the summoned strange snake.
As for the remaining ghouls, Lorena held the holy book high and beat them to death.
After that, Duanmuhuai took the phone and called the police. As for why he didn't call the police at the beginning, the reason was very simple. I have said before that where this kind of unspeakable monster haunts, the boundary between reality and nightmare will become blurred.
It's not very stable. In this case, it's basically impossible to communicate with the outside world, whether by mobile phone or telephone. The only way to call the police is to wait until the trouble here is eliminated, everything is back to normal, and the space is stabilized.
The police quickly arrived at the scene and conducted an investigation and search. Duanmu Huai also handed over the clues and evidence he had collected to the police detectives - this was a very necessary part. The clues and evidence could not only improve the system tasks.
Giving a rating will even affect how the police in this world view you.
If there is sufficient evidence, then the police will be convinced that there is nothing wrong with your behavior.
But on the contrary, if there is insufficient evidence, then if you go to someone else's house and smash it, smash it, loot it and burn it - then just wait to go to jail.
Since this was only an entry-level level, it was naturally extremely simple for a veteran like Duanmu Huai, so soon, a police detective appeared in front of him.
"Hello, sir."
Looking at Duanmu Huai, who was several heads taller than him, the detective was somewhat nervous.
"We have compared the clues and evidence you provided, and everything is confirmed to be correct..."
"Then, can I leave?"
"Of course, but...we have a small request."
"oh?"
Hearing this, Duanmu Huai, who already knew what would happen next, raised his eyebrows.
"What request?"
"I wonder if you are interested in assisting the police and becoming an investigator?"
Chapter completed!
