Chapter 546 Contradiction


Chapter 546 Contradiction

Duanmu Huai did not immediately go to the location of the black shadow. In the previous few fights, he had discovered that this thing was fast enough, among other things. Although he had been injured before, Duan Muhuai was not sure about himself. Can you catch up with it? So he continued to choose fishing - after all, a fisherman will never be in the air force.

It's always good to put on more pretense. Maybe this fish is stupid and he might take the bait himself.

So Duanmu Huai pretended to be surrounded by the opponent and retreated to the other side of the street. As long as Mary is there, you can easily determine the exact location of the monster. As long as the opponent takes the bait, it's time for Duanmu Huai to take action.

The monster didn't seem to realize that Mary had seen through it at all. It had been hiding in the mist, roaring like a beast from time to time, and then black shadows like hounds emerged from the mist one after another. He rushed towards Duanmuhuai. They don't look like physical monsters, but more like some kind of illusion. Of course, for ordinary people, they are probably completely impossible to deal with, but for Duanmu Huai, he can easily defeat these black monsters with just a wave of his fist. The Shadow Hound was blown to pieces.

Mary hid beside Duanmuhuai and kept watching the black shadow. Duanmuhuai couldn't tell which one was which. After all, in his opinion, the shadow monsters all around seemed to be the same, but for Mary, it seemed easy. You can tell which shadow is weirder... Well, the golden eyes are indeed powerful.

Duanmu Huai remembered that there was also a kind of magic that could always see through all illusions. Because that magic was relatively easy to obtain, many players used that magic at first.

The result was great suffering.

The reason is simple, it is also a kind of "magic". And as long as it is "magic", it can be easily disturbed and removed. What's worse is that because the players at the time were convinced that this magic could see through all illusions, they didn't think they had been deceived at all, and they didn't discover the problem until the end.

As a result, this situation continued until the middle stage. Some players accidentally broke through the core of the mission. As a result, the players found out that they had been deceived. At that time, there was a burst of wailing in the forum. After that, many players stopped I believe in the so-called magic that can see through all illusions.

But for Duanmu Huai, this is still very useful. He is not the kind of player who likes to use his brain. Even when playing games, Duanmu Huai actually hates deciphering. For example, mazes and the like have always been the places he hates the most. When the player teamed up to fight the evil god, he directly chose the violent god instead of the treacherous god. The reason was that he was too lazy to walk through the maze and solve the puzzles.

It would be great to just hit it, what’s the point of wasting brain cells.

Just use stronger violence to suppress strong violence. It is simple, direct and convenient. If you can win, you can win. If you can't win, you can't win. It's either life or death. How come there are so many things. Either smash the opponent's head, or get the opponent's head smashed, straightforward.

Therefore, a battle like this one seems a bit irritating to Duanmu Huai.

According to Mary, although the black shadow had been following them, it seemed to be very cautious and had no intention of rushing over. This reminded Duanmu Huai of fishing. The black shadow monster was just like a fish, but cautious. Tasting the bait outside the hook, but refusing to bite...

This kind of fish is the most annoying. In reality, it has to be pumped. How can we coddle it?

In this case, then we have to increase our efforts.

Thinking of this, Duanmuhuai turned around suddenly, grabbed Mary, put her on his shoulders, and ran forward in long strides.

"Huh? Mr. Duanmu? Huh?! Is this...??"

Facing Duanmuhuai's sudden attack, Mary was also frightened.

"Get it, let's do something exciting!"

Duanmu Huai glanced around, and then ran towards the outside of the town with long strides. This would give people the feeling that he was outmatched and wanted to take the opportunity to escape. If the black shadow monster took the bait, then for For Duanmu Huai, it couldn't be better.

"Woof woof woof!!!"

The barking of the hounds was still coming in a steady stream, following closely behind. Black shadows flew out from the fog left and right, rushing towards Duanmu Huai. Of course, this level of attack had no effect on Duanmu Huai. He just waved his arms easily and smashed all the shadows into pieces.

"How's it going? Mary? Is that guy coming?"

"It's coming, right behind, but it seems to be refusing to come forward..."

Mary also almost guessed what Duanmuhuai wanted to do, and now she was being held up by Duanmuhuai on her shoulders, and she reported obediently. Of course, being held on the shoulders was definitely not a polite thing for a lady, but now she couldn't care about such a trivial matter.

"…………Then let’s go back."

"Hey? Is this good?"

"It depends on the situation. If the other party doesn't take the bait, we can only temporarily return to the manor."

Although Duanmu Huai can engage in a war of attrition with the opponent, there is no need for it. After all, this monster's ability is still very powerful at present, plus it is very fast and very smart. It is indeed not easy to kill such an opponent at once, and Duanmu Huai himself is not very fast. In this case, if the opponent is really unwilling to take the bait, Duanmu Huai has no other way.

After all, his speed is really not fast - this can be regarded as Duanmu Huai's biggest weakness.

While he was talking, Duanmu Huai had already carried Mary out of the town and came to the path to the Baskerville Manor. At this moment, the place was also shrouded in fog. Duanmu Huai carried Mary and strode towards the manor, and in front of him In the fog behind him, black figures jumped out one after another, and were then smashed into pieces by Duanmu Huai without mercy.

Although Duanmuhuai couldn't see it, according to Mary's description, the dark figure had been following them, keeping a close distance.

Sure enough, maybe it's because he was injured before, so he is more cautious?

If that's the case, it's really a bit troublesome.

A moment later, the gate of Baskerville Manor was already in sight, and at this moment, Mary's slightly panicked voice came to Duanmuhuai's ears again.

"Mr. Duanmu, that black shadow is rushing towards us!"

Soon enough, before Mary could even finish her words, Duanmu Huai felt a strong wind blowing suddenly from behind him and hitting his back!

"Well done!"

Facing the attack, Duanmu Huai was not surprised but overjoyed. He was afraid that the monster would be cowed until the end. Now it seemed that the monster couldn't hold it back in the end. Sure enough, a beast is a beast!

So Duanmu Huai turned around without hesitation, stretched out his right hand, and grabbed the opponent directly!

"Bang!!!"

The black shadow's claws hit Duanmu Huai hard on the chest, tearing his clothes. At the same time, Duanmu Huai's right hand punched out, hitting the black shadow directly on the head. Unlike the previous shadow hounds that fell apart at the first touch, this time Duanmuhuai could feel the touch of solid bones and fur from his hands.

"Euler!"

Now that he finally caught this monster, Duanmu Huai certainly wouldn't let it escape. He roared angrily, clenched his fists again, and swung them out like a torrential rain!

"Eula Euler Euler Euler Euler Euler!!!"

Along with Duanmuhuai's roar, the iron fist hit the black shadow monster like a storm. Then, Duanmuhuai clenched his fist again and raised it high.

"Euler!!!"

Under this roar, Duanmu Huai's fist slammed down like a hammer, directly hitting the black shadow's head and knocking it directly to the ground.

"Bang!!"

And with this roar, the black figure also fell heavily to the ground and became silent.

It was only then that Duanmuhuai finally saw the true face of the monster in front of him.

Just like what I saw before, it looks like a dog, a bear or a chimpanzee. Simply put, it is a monster with a dog head, a strong upper body like a chimpanzee or a bear, and thick forelimbs and claws. It's just that at this moment, the monster has been bruised and bruised all over by Duanmu Huai, and even his head has been beaten to a bloody pulp.

Hmm... I can only say that this guy is too weak to fight, and it is definitely not because Duanmu Huai is venting his anger that he can't catch up with it.

"Aww...aowwowwow..."

At this moment, the black monster had been beaten almost out of breath by Duanmu Huai. It opened its mouth and let out a painful wail. Then it struggled for a moment, and then it became silent. Then, this monster was seen. Like plastic that had been melted by fire, the monster's body began to gradually deform, turning into a puddle of dark, rich substance that looked like smelly sewage.

There is no way around this. After all, strictly speaking, most of the monsters that attack humans in this world are subspace creatures. If they die in the real world, they will basically leave no trace. This is one of the reasons why there are many investigators in this world, but there are very few monster corpses that can actually be recovered. Of course, it is not that no monsters will leave corpses after death, but those corpses are more like virus aggregates. Its existence will cause widespread chaos and even disease, so qualified investigators will basically destroy its corpses and eliminate traces instead of bringing them back to find trouble.

Of course, it’s not that there were no player card bugs in the past. For example, you discover something happened somewhere, go there to investigate, and then discover that the cause of the incident was a certain frozen remains. Then the player dealt with the incident, but instead of destroying the remains, he released it to cause another incident, then dealt with it again, and then repeated it again... The result was that the points were deducted horribly. After all, the system is not a fool. If you investigate a case carefully, you will definitely find the culprit. If you find the culprit but don't deal with it, isn't it obvious that you are cheating?

Of course, players can also hide this part as if they have not investigated the situation clearly, but then the score of the case will be lowered. Even if this is repeated several times, the total case score is not as high as the score of a complete investigation.

What should I say... The battle between player card bugs and official bug fixes will continue.

Soon, the monster completely melted, leaving only a pool of sewage-like traces in the pure white snow. At this time, Lingnu seemed to have discovered something, scratched Duanmu Huai's cheek, and gently He meowed softly and pointed towards it.

"Huh?"

Hearing Ling Nu's voice, Duanmu Huai looked intently, and then he saw something remaining behind the black stain.

Looks like...a pendant?

Duanmu Huai reached out and picked up the pendant. It was an ancient-looking metal pendant with a wolf head pattern carved on it.

Hmm... In other words, is this a wolf?

"——————————!"

However, just as Duanmu Huai picked up the pendant, his vision suddenly went dark.

The next moment, the surrounding scenery suddenly changed.

In the dark room, an old man was sitting on a chair. He was staring ahead, as if looking at someone, and showed a strange smile.

"This is the fate of your family. If you want to change everything, you must make sacrifices."

"Sacrifice?"

"Yes, you should understand what exactly we need."

Immediately afterwards, the screen changed again.

Under the cold moonlight, in the endless wilderness, the howls of hounds were heard one after another, and a girl in ragged clothes was running desperately in front. Duanmu Huai's perspective seemed to be higher, as if he was riding a horse. , desperately chasing the girl in front of him.

Then, a voice sounded.

"Is it true that as long as we kill that woman, the curse of the Baskerville family will be lifted?"

"Yes, as long as you kill her, the curse of the Baskerville family will be lifted, and you will restore the family's glory!"

Another voice sounded, but it didn't seem to be one voice, but voices coming from all directions.

Get her!

Kill her!

"Someone" began to gallop forward desperately, flapping his riding whip, and gradually closing the distance with the girl in front of him - but soon, Duanmu Huai discovered that something seemed wrong.

Logically speaking, it is absolutely impossible for a person to outrun a galloping horse, let alone a hound chasing it. Although the girl ran away in a very embarrassed manner, she was actually able to maintain a long-distance galloping posture for so long in front of the galloping horses and hounds. If you think about it carefully, there are many parts of the legend that are very vague even if you think about it.

For example, how did an ordinary girl escape from the wilderness, and a group of people rode horses and set off hounds without catching her? Even if the girl left early, it would not be difficult to catch up with her.

An ordinary person would only feel pity for the girl being chased just by seeing this scene. But as a judge, Duanmu Huai has already begun to be more vigilant at this moment - unfortunately this is a thing of the past, but For now, he would never think that the girl was a poor innocent girl. When something goes wrong, there must be a monster. This kind of mortal who goes beyond common sense will take action immediately if he is replaced by a judge.

Sure enough, as if to verify Duanmu Huai's conjecture, the girl who was being chased in front suddenly leaned forward, then landed on her hands, and the next moment she was galloping across the wilderness with limbs like a beast. Seeing this scene, "someone" seemed to be shocked, but soon Duanmuhuai saw a gun appear in his field of vision, aimed at the woman in front of him and pulled the trigger.

"Bang!!!"

Gunfire rang out.

However, at the same time, the girl on all fours jumped suddenly and then disappeared. This sudden scene also made "someone" a little surprised. He held the gun and looked around, but he saw nothing. However, at this moment, suddenly, with a neighing sound, the horse that "someone" was riding instantly fell to the ground, and "someone" also fell off the horse and fell heavily to the ground.

"Hoo————!!!"

"Someone" fell heavily to the ground. Before he could get up, suddenly, a face appeared in front of him. It was a twisted, ferocious face that looked more like a beast than a human.

"——————!"

Then the illusion disappeared.

The scene in front of him returned to normal again. Duanmu Huai frowned and looked at the necklace in front of him.

This is the third time that this inexplicable ability of his has been activated. Sure enough, just as he thought, it seems that the ancestor of the Baskerville family encountered something unusual.

But... Now that this demon dog has been killed by me, it should be fine, right?

Or is there trouble yet to come?

"Mr. Duanmu, are you okay?"

When Duanmuhuai came back to his senses, Mary's voice came to her ears. She was grabbing Duanmuhuai's clothes in fear and looking at his chest.

"Huh? Do I look like something is wrong?"

"Because of the clothes..."

"Oh."

Sensing Mary's gaze, Duanmuhuai lowered his head, only to realize that his chest had been torn out by the monster with several cracks. From Mary's perspective, it may be a very dangerous thing.

"It's okay, I just tore my clothes."

Just kidding, with Duanmu Huai's physique, he could take a bath with liquid nitrogen. It would be too crazy for a monster that came from nowhere to break through his defenses.

"Huh..."

Hearing Duanmuhuai's answer, Mary breathed a sigh of relief, then she turned her head and looked at the dark stain on the ground.

"Is this the end?"

"Who knows, let's take a look at the situation first."

Duanmu Huai said while playing with the pendant in his hand. He always felt that this matter was not that simple, and if the scene he saw before was true, it would be completely contrary to the legend of the Baskerville family—— -At least the girl who was captured was definitely not an innocent person, and the reason why the Baskerville family captured her was definitely not just for pleasure.

Maybe we can get more clues from this pendant?

All in all, let’s give it a try first.
