Chapter 496 Invitation
After making his decision, Anthony immediately ordered his men to drive to Newburyport.
On the way, Anthony also took the time to look at the information about the investigator.
To Anthony's surprise, this was not the first time the other party encountered a U-level incident!
According to the records in the file, he was originally a citizen of Arkham and was somewhat well-known in the local area. He graduated from college and had no criminal record. Not long ago, he was invited by a distant relative to attend a private art exhibition held by the other party. Then he encountered a U-level incident and successfully resolved it.
It was because of this incident that the police put him in the investigator's file.
However, the record at the end of the file caught Anthony's attention.
It is recorded above that the opponent's fighting power is superior. Not only did he kill the ghouls and the cultists who controlled them, but he even successfully rescued the victims...
In the U-class case...killed the monster? !
I have to say that Anthony's eyes widened when he saw this.
It's hard for Anthony to say about other monsters, but he has seen ghouls. In the past ten years, Anthony has participated in several U-level cases, and he is also "lucky" to have dealt with monsters like ghouls. Had a face-to-face encounter. He remembered clearly that monsters like ghouls were not only terrifying in appearance, but also extremely resistant to fighting. Their skin is like car tires. The police's ordinary pistols have no reaction at all. Moreover, these ghouls are not slow and strong...
How was this investigator killed?
And looking at the records, this is not just one person, but a group of them!
Not only that, according to the last statement in the file, the investigator made the call to the police after killing the monsters and cultists and rescuing the victims. In other words, the police used to simply help him deal with the aftermath!
Good guy, is this okay?
Seeing this, Anthony was shocked.
He has been working in this field for ten years and has seen quite a few files. In Anthony's memory, basically in such cases, most investigators choose to escape first and then call the police. In fact, some people who were cornered and jumped over the wall also fought back and escaped.
Of course, from the perspective of the parties concerned, Anthony can also understand the mood of these investigators. Facing that kind of monster, if you can escape, you are lucky, and if you can successfully fight back, it is even more lucky.
But in this way, the police will naturally have more difficulties, because these cultists are all rats, and they will run away faster than anyone else if there is any trouble. In the past ten years, Anthony has encountered hundreds of similar case files. Although there are only a handful of people who can actually be caught and brought to justice...
Well, you can really count them on one finger.
The rest is basically waiting for the police to arrive, and the other party will have already disappeared.
This is normal. After all, investigators are not soldiers. There is no need to rush into mountains of swords and seas of fire with an order. When something happens, even if they investigate, they will not choose to confront the other party head-on. After all, they only have one life, how can they survive it?
So it's really rare to see something like this where everyone gets everything.
After reading the files, Anthony naturally became more and more curious about Duanmu Huai and wanted to see what this investigator was capable of. As for why Duanmu Huai went to Innsmouth, he thought it was understandable. People have encountered that kind of thing before, and it is not unreasonable to feel that they are not happy to go to the beach to get some fresh air and relax.
As a result, we met again at the beach... Well, I can only say that this investigator is really unlucky.
While thinking, Anthony also came to the Newburyport Police Station, revealed his identity to someone, and expressed that he wanted to talk to the investigator, so the other party took him to...
"What's going on?"
Looking at the warehouse in front of him, Anthony was stunned.
According to his experience, even if ordinary investigators are locked up for investigation, most of them are detained, or even a little worse, they are locked up in a single room.
But what the hell is this warehouse? ? ?
"Haha, we...can't let it go."
Hearing Anthony's complaints, the local police officer also laughed and answered. After hearing his answer, Anthony looked at him speechlessly.
Is Newburyport such a cool place? Are the prisons full? There is no place to put people, so they can only be crammed into the warehouse?
Is there such an operation?
"Open the door."
Anthony didn't bother to talk to him and directly motioned for the other party to open the door. The police officer also hurriedly stepped forward and opened the door, and then Anthony walked in.
Generally speaking, people are not allowed to be released into the warehouse of the police station. After all, there are too many things in the warehouse of the police station. But fortunately, this warehouse is an old warehouse, and there is nothing in it. It's just that the lights are a little dim. Anthony walked into the warehouse and saw that the entire warehouse was empty except for a few empty shelves placed against the wall.
"Mr. Duanmuhuai?"
Anthony coughed and shouted.
"I am Sergeant Anthony Burke of the Federal Police, responsible for the investigation of the Innsmouth case. Can you please talk to me?"
As he spoke, Anthony walked into the warehouse and looked cautiously to both sides. Anthony has done this kind of thing a lot, and Anthony has gained experience. Even if an ordinary investigator escapes death, he will definitely be mentally traumatized, either having nightmares or being unable to come out of the corner he is in. There are even those who talk nonsense and even drink and take drugs...
So he didn't speak loudly, and he was even more cautious, for fear of irritating the other person.
At the same time, Anthony was muttering to himself that the people in this police station were all working for nothing, locking people up in such a big warehouse. If he wanted to play hide-and-seek with him, where would he find him?
However, as he walked...Anthony suddenly found that his eyesight went dark.
Um? Is this light out?
No?
Anthony looked to the left and right in confusion, but at this moment, a voice sounded from above his head.
"Are you looking for me?"
"Yes, I am..."
Hearing the other party's answer, Anthony nodded, and then he subconsciously raised his head and looked up, and then...
“——————!!!”
When Anthony looked at that face, he was so frightened that he almost jumped up from where he was. Almost instinctively, he rolled directly on the spot, distanced himself from the opponent, then reached out and took out his gun and aimed it in one go, fully Showing his skills as a federal agent!
"No, don't move, or I will shoot!!"
"………………"
Duanmuhuai crossed his arms and looked at Anthony speechlessly. The latter was also stunned for a moment before reacting. "Are you... Mr. Duanmuhuai?"
"Yes, it's me."
Duanmuhuai took out the investigator qualification certificate from his pocket and handed it over. Anthony took the gun in one hand and opened it with the other, then compared it... and then he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Sorry, sorry, I was rude."
As he spoke, Anthony took back the gun and at the same time cursed in his heart that those who wrote the files did not grasp the point. They did not include such obvious features of such a big person here. They were just looking at my jokes, right?
But…………
"Mr. Duanmuhuai, may I ask what this is..."
After all, Anthony was considered a special commissioner. He was just unprepared at first. Now that he had come to his senses, he looked at Duanmuhuai in confusion, wondering if this was some kind of sequelae. After all, many investigators were also in contact with those people. After the unspeakable evil, the body mutated and so on...
"Oh, a natural."
“……………………”
Hearing Duanmu Huai's answer, Anthony was completely silent. He stared at the opponent's body full of muscles and explosive power, as well as his huge fists, and the original doubts in his heart completely disappeared.
Anthony was still wondering how Duan Muhuai was able to kill the ghoul before, but now when they met - good guy, he has never seen a fist as big as a casserole in so many years. It would be strange if he couldn't defeat a ghoul.
No wonder it’s so fierce......
Before meeting Duanmu Huai, Anthony only thought about the scene of an ordinary investigator fighting for his life through thick and thin.
After seeing Duanmu Huai, Anthony immediately imagined Rambo and the Devil Muscular Man...
Although the ghoul is powerful, it is only about the same size as a human being, and ordinary people are like a puppy in front of this person... He is afraid of ghosts!
Looking at Duanmu Huai, Anthony could even imagine a few ghouls jumping on him, and then being beaten to a pulp by three punches and two kicks...
Why? Why does it feel so good?
Even the discomfort and fear caused by just thinking about these monsters are gone now?
If Duanmuhuai knew what Anthony was thinking, he would definitely tell him that all fear comes from lack of firepower.
As long as your firepower is strong enough, no problem will be a problem.
In fact, most people in this world's fear of external gods comes from two points.
One is knowledge and the other is firepower.
For example, many times, when scientists see indescribable existences that subvert their understanding, they all collapse and go crazy.
To put it bluntly, this is because their knowledge is not broad enough.
On the other side of the Star Alliance, there are so many races in the universe, and there are even many alien races whose biological structures are the opposite of humans, and they can't even eat the same food. If something like the Ghoul Deep Diver was placed in the Star Alliance, people would probably just ignore it as a mutated creature.
As for Cthulhu, the Star Alliance doesn't care. If they dare to take the lead, they will send warships to beat them. Cthulhu, who can definitely fight, can't take care of himself.
After all, Cthulhu is, to put it bluntly, an alien psychic creature, not to mention a weak ship...
In fact, according to the standards of the Inquisition, most of the monsters in this world are either subspace creatures or psychic creatures, so they can mentally pollute humans. This is one of the reasons why people in this world appear so fragile. one.
After all, this world is full of ordinary people, and few people have psychic powers. It's no wonder that these psychic creatures thrive here like a fish in water, fooling a group of people into worshiping them as gods.
This is just like a person with superpowers going to a world without superpowers. Rare things are more valuable...
But Duanmu Huai will definitely not spoil these bastards.
Of course, he was shocked. Anthony followed the procedure and went through the case with Duanmu Huai. Duanmu Huai was very familiar with this, but he was able to mess with Anthony. When other investigators talked about this, they were either very nervous or trembling with fear. On the contrary, Duanmu Huai talked about it in a straightforward manner, explaining the whole process simply and clearly.
Little did he know that players have always done this in the game, and it has become a natural habit.
To be honest, Anthony still had some doubts about Duanmu Huai's story, but looking at the figure that made people feel safe, he finally swallowed his doubts.
After all, Anthony couldn't imagine such a burly and majestic man trembling.
So after signing and confirming, Duanmuhuai can go home.
However, just when Duanmuhuai was about to go home and have a comfortable sleep, he saw Chief Anthony, who had left, turned around and came back.
"Hello, Mr. Duanmuhuai, I have something to ask you for help."
"Me?"
Hearing Anthony's words, Duanmu Huai raised his eyebrows.
"Yes, in fact, in a case we just received, the other party claimed that his friend was missing...According to his description, we suspect that this is a U-level case, so...As an investigator, Mr. Duanmuhuai needs to Don’t you want to come with us to investigate?”
Looking at Duanmuhuai, Anthony made an invitation.
