Chapter 519 Dark City
When Lorena learned that the evil spirit occupying the haunted house had been eliminated, she did not hide her disappointment at all. After all, she originally wanted to eliminate demons, but unfortunately...
"Huh? So fast?"
"I didn't expect that these two idiots would be so stupid to take action on the day we moved in."
Facing the lost Lorena, Duanmu Huai helplessly spread his hands. After all, he didn't expect it. Originally, it was not like this according to the general routine of ghost movies, but unfortunately...the evil spirits here don't follow the routine. .
"By the way, what did you gain there?"
"Not at all."
Lorena shook her head.
"Although this is a good place for a night run, I haven't encountered anything at all."
"Hey..."
Although he had expected it, Duanmuhuai was somewhat disappointed when he heard this answer. After all, judging from the files, the dates of the victims' murders in the past few months had no pattern and were completely random. The most annoying thing is that Such a random crime.
This reminded Duanmu Huai of the shocking serial rape case a long time ago. At that time, the perpetrator's time was irregular, which made the police very angry. The suspect's time of committing the crime also varied quite a bit. Sometimes the police would guard him for several months without any movement, and then he would start committing crimes as soon as the police evacuated. Sometimes he would commit crimes while the police were guarding him.
At that time, many police officers even doubted whether this girl was deliberately going against the police.
Only after we caught the suspect did we find out that the pattern of his committing crimes was as follows - as long as he quarreled with his wife at home, he would go out to commit crimes that night. If there was no quarrel, he would go. He didn't care whether the police were on guard or on guard... ……
Faced with this kind of logic, no one can do anything, right?
If the prisoner was like this this time and only went out to commit crimes after a quarrel with his wife, he would be desperate.
Even the time when my aunt comes to visit is fixed. Who can predict the time when the couple will quarrel!
Wouldn’t that make him a half-immortal?
All in all, there is no other good way now except to wait and see.
After waking up and eating breakfast, Lorena went out to continue shopping and fishing, while Duanmu Huai continued to stay at the Royal Master Academy. Among other things, he wanted to take a look at the young and beautiful girls in the Academy. It's all a pleasure. But it is a pity that although this is a school, the students here do not wear mini skirts that are as short as the thighs in anime, but almost all wear long dresses...
Well, it has a different flavor.
After several days of secret visits, Duanmu Huai has almost searched the entire Royal Master Academy for information on teachers. Next, he will follow the information one by one, such as...
Coming.
At this moment, a man wearing a brown suit and holding a leather bag in his arms entered Duanmuhuai's field of vision. This man looks average and seems a bit wretched. In addition, the most eye-catching thing is that he always holds his handbag like a treasure, looking like a thief, looking left and right while walking forward.
Remember he is...Joseph Capek.
Staring at the man in front of him, Duanmu Huai quickly pulled out the information. This teacher's reputation among the students was not good, which was natural. You could tell by looking at the timid look on his face like a thief. Even after the female students, he had the nickname of Teacher Leather Bag.
Hmm... To be honest, he was at the top of Duanmuhuai's list of suspects.
As for why? The reason is very simple.
After all, don’t there often be characters like this in the animations Duanmu Huai has watched before? The unpopular teacher suddenly acquired hypnotic power or some kind of equipment. Then in order to counter the ridicule of the students and vent his dissatisfaction, he began to do whatever he wanted to the students by relying on his special ability, turning them into obedient beings. A slave, and finally dominates the entire school, becoming the school's shadow ruler or something...
Isn't this the kind of development that works like "After School - Wet X's Uniform" or "Ox Academy" or "X Work" are all about?
Judging from the rich experience of Duanmuhuai Reading Group O, there must be something wrong with this teacher!
There's absolutely no way he can run away!
As if to verify Duanmuhuai's conjecture, Professor Capek walked across the square, then hugged his bag and chatted with the trio of beautiful girls not far away with a smile. Faced with his conversation, the three girls looked a little surprised, and then the blond girl in the lead began to talk to him, while the other two stood nearby with uneasy and nervous expressions.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that although Capek is very enthusiastic, the expression of the blond girl opposite is not very good-looking, and is even a little depressed. In addition, the two girls next to him look nervous and uneasy. It's like being forced into a conversation... huh?
At this moment, Duanmu Huai saw the dazzling golden eyes of another girl next to him and was stunned.
Isn't this the girl who fell into the river that day? I didn't expect that we would meet here again.
Duanmu Huai was somewhat surprised and curious about this, and didn't take it too seriously. But what he didn't expect was that the girl seemed to be aware of his gaze and looked over here. When she saw Duanmu Huai , with an obviously surprised expression.
"???"
What's going on? Can she see me?
Seeing the girl's expression, Duanmu Huai was stunned for a moment. He was just kidding. He was using the Crow Guard's hiding skills to avoid him. Logically speaking, let alone ordinary people, it would be difficult for extraordinary people to see him. , but my hiding skills are completely useless to that girl?
Wait, is this the power of the Golden Eyes?
So scary?
Duanmu Huai actually doesn't know much about the power of the Golden Eyes. Even players mainly go for [Illusion Immunity] and [Magic Resistance +80%]. As for [Eye of Truth], this is vague. I can't see the characteristics of Mingtang at all. Unless someone uses it, I can't explain it at all.
But now it looks like...this golden eye is really powerful!
I am hiding in subspace, and can be seen by the other party at a glance?
Although Duanmu Huai wanted to say whether this was a coincidence, the girl was obviously staring at him, and he had no choice but to nod to the girl, who also gave him a slight salute. Fortunately, the school bell rang at this time, and the girl was hurriedly pulled to the classroom by her companions. Otherwise, Duanmu Huai really didn't know how to explain it.
It's one thing to peek, it's another thing to be caught peeping.
Fortunately, he was just standing in the shadows and didn't make any weird moves - well, it's like in a cartoon where the protagonist can stop time and act at will, so he relies on himself to stop time. , lifting up girls’ skirts everywhere in the classroom, and then being seen by another person who can also move around in time...
That is simply social death.
It's a good thing that Duan Muhuai didn't rely on his invisibility to follow the girls into the locker room or wander around on the street without wearing anything. Otherwise, if he was seen by the other party, there would be a hundred words to explain. .
Thinking of this, Duanmu Huai also shuddered.
It was so dangerous, I almost capsized in the gutter.
Now he didn't dare to wander around in the school building. It was fine that no one could see him before. Now that someone could see him, he didn't dare to wander around anymore. If the car overturned, it would be over. Slipping away.
Because he was accidentally seen through, Duanmu Huai did not dare to go out for a walk anymore. Instead, he returned to the apartment and made another call to Arkham City. However, what made him depressed was that the call from the maid The news is still not good. According to the maid, there are quite a few people coming to the store below to buy some items for house-building or exorcism, but almost no one wants to entrust Duanmu Huai...
Even a few days ago, a professor came and bought several pieces of exorcism jewelry, saying they were for use when going out for archeology...
Damn, U-M is really capable of seeking death!
Hearing this, Duanmuhuai gritted his teeth angrily. He had forgotten that the people at the University of Michigan were seeking death. If they encountered any trouble, they would not go to any detectives or police. They would basically deal with it themselves. In the past, this group of people could do it on their own without weapons. Now that they bought the exorcism jewelry from Duanmuhuai's shop, they naturally had to do it on their own again!
Although as long as the customer uses the sacred objects of the Tribunal, he becomes a believer of the Tribunal, but this still makes Duanmu Huai very unhappy.
You are stealing my business!
But then I thought about it, forget it, the guys at the University of Michigan can handle it, they are probably not particularly strong guys. When they encounter something that they can't handle, they can come to me.
Late at night, Duanmuhuai also left the apartment with Lorena and began to walk around aimlessly, trying to find the legendary murderer.
The foggy city in the middle of the night is as dead as ever.
On the dim road, only the gas lamps on both sides of the street shined with a dim yellow light. The street was filled with fog, and even the buildings dozens of meters away seemed to be invisible. Duanmu Huai held a cane in one hand and spoke on the other. Staring around, he slowly moved forward in the shadows.
He has done this every night since coming to Fog City.
However, something seems a little different today.
Duanmuhuai could feel that there were not many people on the streets today, which was a bit unusual.
Looking at the pocket watch in his hand, he saw that it was almost twelve o'clock. Indeed, this was generally the time to go home and rest. But even if there were no ordinary pedestrians, the police would patrol here. However, in the half hour from just now, the entire street was deserted. Duanmu Huai could not even see a group of patrolling policemen, which made him secretly The spirit was lifted.
As the saying goes, if something goes wrong, there must be a monster. Tonight, maybe I can make big news!
"Ah————!!!"
At this moment, suddenly, a girl's shrill scream came from the distance.
Hearing this voice, Duanmu Huai was stunned for a moment, then quickly raised his head.
Found it! !
The next moment, Duanmu Huai's figure flashed, he jumped up and flew towards the place where the scream came from!
While running, Duanmu Huai felt it.
The city has changed.
The surrounding windows that were supposed to be lit with lights all became pitch black. The foggy city at the moment is like a dark city without people. Only the Big Ben at the top is still shining with golden light.
No, this is not a foggy city, this is more like a subspace.
Duanmu Huai clenched his cane and rushed forward with long strides. Unfortunately, his speed was not fast, but Duanmu Huai was not helpless.
"Drink!"
With a loud shout, Duanmu Huai jumped up, jumped onto the roof, and then moved forward along the roof. Soon, his ears keenly picked up the sound of rapid breathing and running. .
Over there!
Duanmu Huai turned his head, quickly locked the direction, and then rushed to the other side.
Then, he finally found it.
Passing through a block again, Duanmu Huai soon saw a figure running on the street, and behind that figure was a weird and terrifying monster. It was huge, with a corpse-like man restrained in its steel ribs, and on both sides of the steel ribs were sharp claws that looked like sharp blades. Countless bright red eyes emerged from it, staring straight ahead.
finally found you!
Seeing this, Duanmu Huai's face darkened, then he jumped up and fell heavily!
There was only a loud "Bang!" and he fell from the sky, landing between the figure and the steel monster.
"Huh?"
Seeing Duanmu Huai suddenly appear, the figure was stunned for a moment, stopped, and looked over in surprise.
"Is it you?"
"Oh?"
Hearing this voice, Duanmu Huai turned his head and saw a blond girl in a black dress looking at him in surprise, and her right eye was emitting golden light.
Is it her again?
Well, it's not surprising... Since he has the ability of golden eyes, it seems normal to be involved in strange things.
“…………………!!”
However, at the same time, the monster in front also roared. It glared at Duanmuhuai fiercely, not hiding its anger and greed at all. The two giant claws formed by steel blades kept waving, lifting it up as if they wanted to tear everything into pieces. At the same time, the bright red eyes located everywhere on the steel monster also emitted an ugly, hateful light.
"...Golden Eyes...Give me...give it...!!"
It turns out that this monster is coming for the golden eyes.
"Then it depends on whether you have this ability!"
Duanmu Huai's face darkened when he heard the words of the steel monster opposite him. Then he clenched his cane and black flames burst out from his body.
"Death, monster!"
