Chapter 550 Professor Parmar’s request (please vote for the new month)
On the day of departure, everyone came to see her off. Charlie and Ashelika seemed to be very worried about Mary, but luckily because Lorena was there, they finally accepted Mary's statement unwillingly.
However, the look in Duanmu Huai's eyes was a bit unfriendly.
Duanmu Huai didn't care about this. The thoughts of a few little girls couldn't interfere with anything, as long as they stayed out of the way.
The only thing that surprised Duanmuhuai was...that Professor Parmar also came.
"To be honest, I really didn't expect you to come. Professor Parmar, haven't you been busy researching topics recently?"
"Hahaha...that's right..."
Upon hearing Duanmuhuai's inquiry, Professor Parmar showed an embarrassed smile, but soon he coughed, regained his serious expression, and looked at Duanmuhuai.
"Mr. Duanmu, I have heard from Mary that you are a detective... right?"
"I am indeed working on this."
"That's good………"
Hearing this, Professor Parmar looked relieved.
"I heard you were going to Cornwall. I was wondering if you could do me a favor?"
"What's up?"
"It's like this...it's actually a bit hard to talk about it..."
As he spoke, Professor Parmar showed a somewhat embarrassed expression.
"I have a brother, his name is Parade Fraser, and his son disappeared recently."
"…………Missing?"
"Yes, I'm sorry to say it. His son was originally a student at Miskatonic University, but he fell in love with a girl... Well, how should I put it? This kid gave up his studies and said he wanted to go to that girl.
The city will stay with her forever..."
"In other words, elopement?"
"Hey... that's about it, but he disappeared."
"Didn't you run away with the girl?"
"That's not true."
Professor Parmar shook his head.
"He also set off from here to Cornwall. On the way, he called my brother and said he would rest for one night at a hotel on the way to Cornwall. Then there was no news from my brother.
I also called the girl, but she said the child didn't come to her place."
"Won't you call the police?"
"My brother is a banker... How should I put it? It's really embarrassing for him that his son elopes and disappears. He doesn't want to call the police with such a big fanfare. So when I heard that you planned to go to Cornwall to investigate,
That's when I came up with this idea. Since I'm on my way, I wonder if I could ask you to help me look for it and see where the child went?"
"Since it's a convenient way, of course it's no problem."
Duanmu Huai took it easily, and the players liked the tasks along the way the most.
The most annoying thing is the task of buying a horse in the east market, a saddle and shackles in the west market, a bridle in the south market, and a whip in the north market.
Can't you buy them all in one place? Can't you tell that Hua Mulan is a woman? How can a man be so particular?
"That's great."
Hearing this, Professor Parmar also breathed a sigh of relief, and then took out a photo.
"This is the kid, James Fraser. He drives a black Chrysler sedan, the license plate number is BN5698... If you find anything, you can call me..."
Good guy, Chrysler, right? The rich second generation is different.
Duanmuhuai took a look at the photo and saw that he was just an ordinary young man with blond hair and blue eyes, not very handsome. He didn't know who the girl who fascinated him was... it was none of his business.
After that, Duanmuhuai chatted with Professor Parmar about the Antarctic scientific expedition. To his surprise, the main concern in the Master's College was not this, but the comet that was about to appear in the near future.
"Hey, there's nothing we can do about it. After all, comets only come once every hundreds or thousands of years. You can go to Antarctica anytime, and my research report hasn't been compiled yet..."
Having said this, Professor Parmar looked at Duanmuhuai again and hesitated.
"Mr. Duanmu, it may be rude to ask this, but what did you... do in Antarctica? And this time you went to Cornwall... I asked Mary, but she seemed unwilling to explain directly...
"
However, when faced with Professor Parmar's inquiry, Duanmuhuai changed the subject.
"What do you think of the dinosaur fossils, Professor Parmar?"
"Dinosaurs? Ah, I did do some research. To be honest, it's really interesting to touch their bones and imagine the majesty of these animals in ancient times."
"But if a group of dinosaurs really appeared on the streets of Fog City, it wouldn't be interesting, right?"
"Uh...that's quite..."
"It's that simple."
Duanmuhuai stared at Professor Parmar and narrowed his eyes slightly.
"You only need to be responsible for studying dinosaur fossils, and I am responsible for turning them into fossils... because fossils cannot speak or move, and they will not cause any harm to humans... We all agree on this
,Is it right?"
"this……………"
Professor Parmar is not a fool, and of course he understands the meaning of Duanmuhuai's words.
"The pursuit of science and truth may come first for scholars, but for us, any threat to human existence cannot be tolerated. I hope you can understand this, Professor Parmar, too.
I hope we can have a happy cooperation.”
As he spoke, Duanmuhuai stretched out his hand.
"What do you think?"
“………………………………”
Looking at Duanmuhuai's outstretched hand, Professor Parmar hesitated for a while, then stretched out his hand and held Duanmuhuai's hand.
"I think so too."
"Very good, then it seems that we can cooperate happily."
When Duanmu Huai took a fancy to Professor Parmar, it was because he was just a middle-class scholar. Although middle-class means neither good nor bad, it also means that he is self-aware. What he hates most are geniuses or idiots who think they are geniuses.
This kind of person is completely arrogant in the field that he is familiar with, thinking that no matter what happens, nothing will happen, and then he is tricked by the evil god.
Moreover, many times they are tricked without even realizing it, and they still feel that they are doing it voluntarily and that everything is under control.
Well, everything is under the control of the evil god.
This kind of idiot with no self-awareness is the most annoying.
In contrast, middle-class scholars like Professor Parmar may not be enterprising enough, but they are better at pursuing stability. As long as they are not stupid enough to have undue ambitions, they are better than those so-called so-called so-called scholars in terms of when to be wise and self-defeating.
Geniuses and elites are much stronger.
It can be seen from this Antarctic incident that Professor Parmar obviously guessed what Duanmuhuai and the others did in the Antarctic, but he just obediently carried out research step by step. If he were some arrogant idiot, he might be
Curiosity drove him to seek death.
Well, I'm looking for death. After all, just in case, Duanmu Huai erupted a large amount of black flames. Those black flames burned all over the ruins and would not stop for decades. Anyone who dared to come close would be killed directly.
Swallowed by black flames. If Professor Parmar was stupid enough to look for the ruins of the Shoggoth, he would be dead by now.
Of course, this kind of thing goes without saying to Duanmu Huai.
After that, Duanmu Huai and his party said goodbye and hit the road - of course the maid drove the car, and the truck they drove was naturally the heavy truck.
By the way, when seeing this pink two-dimensional pain car, the expressions of Mary and others were really wonderful. It's a pity that mobile phones in this era don't have cameras, otherwise Duanmu Huai would really want to take a picture.
Because the cargo box is large enough, Duanmu Huai, Lorena and Mary can sit in it without feeling cramped. Mary was only nervous at first. But later, she became more and more excited and excited - just
It looked like an elementary school student participating in a suburban camping trip for the first time.
"Look at how excited you are, I have to tell you, you might want to kill someone."
Seeing the excited and restless Mary, Duanmuhuai poured a bucket of cold water on her.
"Why?"
Sure enough, when she heard Duanmuhuai's words, Mary was stunned.
"Do you want to kill someone?"
"Of course, if the other party is a cultist, he will definitely be killed."
"But, but we can arrest them and hand them over to the police..."
To be continued...
