Chapter 500: Follow the clues
In fact, when Anthony left, Duanmuhuai had been following him. Relying on the skills of the Raven Guard, it was certainly impossible for Anthony to discover Duanmuhuai.
To put it bluntly, Duanmuhuai is using Anthony to fish and enforce the law.
Duanmu Huai didn't care about this. After all, the players said that one of the three artifacts in this world is a friend.
Friends are not for cheating, so why keep them?
But now that this guy has come out, Duanmu Huai is naturally not polite!
“——————!!!”
The monster attacked by Duanmuhuai suddenly let out a scream, then stood up from the ground, twitching its nose and facing Duanmuhuai. However, it has not been hit by the SAN value because of this... The reason is very simple, this thing has no eyes at all! Naturally, it is impossible to see Duanmuhuai!
"What the hell is this?"
At this moment, with the help of the light of the flashlight, Anthony could clearly see the appearance of the monster, and suddenly screamed. Under the brilliance of the flashlight, they could clearly see that what was in front of them was a humanoid monster that was almost as tall as a person. Its body and limbs were similar to those of humans. Only its head was weird--its head. There is only a mouth on the top, and there is nothing above the nose. It is completely naked and looks extremely weird. Especially when it opens its mouth and exposes its tongue and teeth, it makes people feel even more weird.
The fingers of this monster are very slender, like dry branches, which makes people feel sick.
Not only that, the monster's body swayed, and then it turned into a transparent form again and disappeared into the darkness. Only the sound of rapid footsteps wandered back and forth beside them.
"What now?"
If Anthony was alone, he might be on the verge of collapse at this moment. But luckily Duanmuhuai was still by his side, so Anthony hurriedly leaned against Duanmuhuai, looking around warily while asking.
"Don't worry, they're just a bunch of beasts, just kill them."
Facing Anthony's inquiry, Duanmu Huai seemed quite calm. If it were anyone else who said this, Anthony would probably not be relieved, but thinking about the scene where Duanmu Huai smashed the other person out just now... Well, Anthony felt This big man's words are quite reliable.
"Click! Crack! Crack!!"
At the same time, the monster hidden in the darkness accelerated its pace again and rushed towards the two of them. Then it roared, suddenly emerged from the side of Duanmu Huai, screamed, stretched out its claws, and stabbed Duanmu. Huai’s chest!
"Die!!!"
However, facing the monster's blow, Duanmu Huai roared angrily, then suddenly raised his right hand, punched out, and hit the monster's head directly. Then he slammed it to the ground. There was only a popping sound, and then Anthony saw the monster's head splitting directly on the ground like an apple under Duanmuhuai's fist, turning into several pieces.
The monster wailed, then twitched and became silent.
"……………………"
Seeing this, Anthony was shocked, although he had expected that with Duanmu Huai's physical strength, it would not take too long to deal with such a monster. But what Anthony didn't expect was that this man was so cruel that he completely smashed the monster's head with one punch!
However, before Anthony could breathe a sigh of relief, suddenly, low roars came from all directions again!
"What, what's going on?"
Hearing the roars one after another, Anthony became nervous again.
"Obviously, there was more than one opponent. Maybe it was because I killed one of them, so these guys started to get angry..."
"What should we do?"
Now Anthony also understood. It was obvious that these monsters were like a pack of wolves. If one wolf died, the remaining wolves would certainly not let it go!
"It's very simple."
As he spoke, Duanmuhuai clenched the cane in his hand and swung it suddenly!
"Just kill them all!!!"
"Roar————!!"
Just as Duanmuhuai said these words, it seemed that the other party understood what he meant. The low roar suddenly turned into a sharp cry. The next moment, dense footsteps sounded from all directions, heading towards Duanmuhuai. He pounced in the direction where Anthony was!
Anthony didn't know how to explain what happened next. He could feel those terrifying monsters surrounding him, and he could even feel the fishy, disgusting and terrifying breath exhaled by the other party. But he couldn't see clearly what those monsters looked like. He could only see Duanmu Huai making a fist in one hand and holding the cane in the other, waving it around while roaring.
However, he didn't look like he was waving randomly. In fact, every time Duanmuhuai waved his cane, Anthony could hear a "bang" sound, like the sound of an animal being hit hard. Then the ear-piercing scream turned into a miserable wail. Duanmu Huai's whole body seemed to have turned into a crazy storm that could not stop spinning, and he seemed to be in the eye of the storm. Looking around, in addition to the torn pieces and the roaring wind swept up by the storm, Nothing is seen, nothing is heard.
"Bang!!"
The cane in Duanmu Huai's hand swung down hard again, and hit the monster's head. The thick, strong cane was like a hammer, smashing the monster's head open from the middle like a walnut, and then it wailed. , fell to the ground motionless.
"Hmph! Waste!"
Duanmuhuai stepped on the monster's body and then looked around. As the last monster was killed, the entire exhibition hall once again returned to silence. Perhaps because all the monsters were dead, the space that seemed to have been closed returned to its original state again, and the lights that were originally extinguished also turned on again.
"Ugh...it's over?" Feeling the sudden light, Anthony opened his eyes and looked around. After seeing the surrounding scenes, he couldn't help but take a breath.
On the ground not far from the two of them, there were corpses of these terrifying monsters everywhere. Some of them had their heads smashed, and some were torn into pieces. There were several of them by rough counting. As many as ten...
Can one person do this? ?
Anthony looked at the corpses of the monsters on the ground in surprise, and then looked at Duanmuhuai next to him. Although Anthony also wanted to help when he was attacked. However, due to the darkness all around and the translucent shape of these monsters, Anthony could not find a chance to shoot. Duanmuhuai basically killed them all alone.
I didn't expect that he could actually fight so well.
Although he had expected it, Anthony still couldn't believe it when he looked at the corpses in front of him. You know, even if there are dozens of people fighting in groups, it may not be so easy to kill them, let alone those translucent monsters.
"You're not hurt, are you?"
"It's okay."
Duanmu Huai waved his hand.
"What to do with these corpses."
"I'll take care of it."
Upon hearing Duanmuhuai's inquiry, Anthony quickly took out his mobile phone to make contact. Generally speaking, any remaining bodies in such incidents will be completely destroyed. These monsters are no exception, but... it's probably the first time for me to encounter so many at once.
No, it must be the second time. After all, in the previous file report in Innsmouth, there was a report that hundreds of corpses of half-human, half-fish monsters were found.
Well…………
Thinking of this, Anthony looked at Duanmuhuai with a strange expression.
Could it be that he killed all those people?
If it were any other investigator, Anthony would probably not have such an idea. However, now that Anthony witnessed with his own eyes how Duanmu Huai chopped melons and vegetables and killed these monsters that were transparent and hidden in the space, his My thoughts suddenly changed.
No matter how powerful those half-human, half-fish monsters are, they can't be more powerful than this, right?
"What's wrong?"
"Oh, nothing."
Seeing Duanmuhuai looking at him, Anthony coughed awkwardly and changed the topic.
"I have contacted the logistics staff, they will arrive soon... So, is this matter resolved?"
"Of course not."
"No???"
Hearing Duanmuhuai's answer, Anthony was dumbfounded. He looked around in surprise, not knowing what to say for a moment.
We've killed dozens of them, but they haven't been killed yet? How many should be killed?
But soon, Duanmuhuai's words answered Anthony's doubts.
"It is impossible that there are dozens of monsters hidden in this museum, so it is obvious that they should have been transported here through a certain door, and we must find that door."
"That's right."
At this time, Anthony also came to his senses. Indeed, as Duanmuhuai said, there is no way that there are dozens of monsters hidden in this museum, they must come from somewhere. It's useless no matter how much you kill here if you can't figure out where they come from.
So soon, the two started looking again.
Fortunately, perhaps because these monsters had been completely eliminated, this time, the two of them didn't waste much time and found a destroyed oil painting on the corner of the wall of the exhibition hall - there was a picture of an unknown person on it. The monster has eyes and a bloody mouth.
It was obvious that this was the monster.
Under the painting, its origin is written.
"Empty Ghost"——Donated by Christine Sellers, Department of Art, Miskatonic University.
"Obviously, we've found a clue."
Looking at the title under the painting in front of him, Duanmu Huai said calmly.
