Chapter 620 Tracking
Frankly speaking, the scale of corruption has always been the enemy Duanmu Huai least wants to deal with.
There is only one reason.
So disgusting! !
The hard warhammer hit the mutated and corrupted monster in front of him with force, and then Duanmuhuai saw the dense holes all over his body. A smelly dark yellow liquid suddenly spurted out, and countless maggots poured out of it. There were countless others. Look. Insects that are only the size of mosquitoes look like they have been poked into a hornet's nest...
Damn, is it so realistic?
Duanmu Huai's scalp was numb when he saw this scene in front of him. In the game, the thing that players can't stand the most is the minions of Corruption. They are really disgusting. Just looking at it makes me want to vomit. Logically speaking, such a disgusting thing should not have passed the review. As a result, the player keeps reporting it, but there is no response like a cow drowning in the sea... Huh?
Wait a moment.
Just give me a moment.
Just have to sack.
This thing can pass the trial even if it is so disgusting.
I started a live broadcast and you blocked it for me?
Does it mean that I am scarier than this thing?
Holy shit! !
Thinking of this, Duanmu Huai suddenly felt angry and evil in his heart.
I can't kill you!
"Go to hell!!"
At this moment, along with Duanmu Huai's roar, the thunder hammer roared out mixed with violent airflow, directly hitting the other two monsters. Duanmuhuai's body was now filled with thunder and flames. The shining electric light extended along the thunder war hammer to every corner of his armor, blooming in all directions, and the tiny and almost invisible bugs in the air were directly electrocuted into charcoal wherever they went.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!!"
At this moment, the girls outside were also dumbfounded. They stood there blankly, watching Duanmu Huai raise his war hammer and hit the monster in front of him again and again. And with every time the hammer head falls, a burst of lightning and thunder will erupt from the tall body, giving people the feeling as if the God of Thunder descended to earth. At this moment, Emilia and Luo Qixi could do nothing but cover their ears and tremble.
I don't know how long it took, but when Duanmu Huai turned around and walked out again, they realized that the battle was over.
"Ugh...is it over already?"
Amelia rubbed her ears, which were still ringing until now.
"That's it for now."
Duanmu Huai swept through the room that had been messed up by himself. At least the remaining traces of the corruption had been completely destroyed by himself.
"Then, what exactly is that kind of monster...will the plague cause that kind of situation?"
At this moment, Luo Qixi also came back to her senses and couldn't help hugging her body. Although she tried her best to maintain her expression, the scene she just saw still made the young magician shudder.
"This happens occasionally, but fortunately this plague did not spread, otherwise it would be more terrifying than the Howling Death."
"More, more terrifying?"
"That's right."
Looking at the two people in front of him, Duanmuhuai decided to explain to them.
"This is also a plague. To put it simply, they will attach themselves to flies and then bite other people. Those flies will implant eggs in your skin, and then the eggs will hatch and turn into worms. They live by eating meat. When they get older, they will emerge from the skin and continue to look for healthy bodies to reproduce the next generation..."
"Ugh...please stop talking."
Before Duanmu Huai finished speaking, Luo Qixi covered her ears and did not dare to listen any more. Emilia was also swaying. She might have turned blue just thinking about this scene.
"This, will the plague eventually turn into this? Mr. Duanmu, have you ever seen it before?"
"I have indeed seen it, and I am deeply impressed."
After all, it is one of the top three disgusting gadgets on the player rankings. Especially for many female players, it is simply a nightmare.
"But the problem is, this didn't appear out of thin air..."
Duanmuhuai said this and looked at Amelia.
"Can you investigate, who does this warehouse belong to? I think this cellar is not just used to store things."
"I, I will report immediately!"
Upon hearing Duanmuhuai's inquiry, Amelia also looked very serious. After all, she also knew that this was a big deal.
Soon, the group returned to the Temple of Tyr, met Irebes, and explained to Irebes Duzel's diary and the monsters infected with the strange plague that appeared below the cellar. After listening to Emilia's explanation, Aribes also looked serious.
"I didn't expect such a monster to exist... Isn't that a demon or devil?"
"I, I didn't pay attention..."
Hey…………
Duanmuhuai frowned while watching the conversation between Aribes and Emilia. This is not the best thing about a polytheistic world. If you switch to a scientific world or a monotheistic world, you can directly point out that the enemy is corrupted, and the other party will easily accept it. But this kind of world where gods, angels, demons, and demons exist at the same time is very troublesome.
After all, there are many beings who can use similar methods, such as the God of Disease, devils and devils, etc. It can be said that there are too many suspects. If you give them a name they have never heard of, they will suspect that you are there. Just making things up. At the beginning, when encountering similar tasks, players also tried to point out the questions directly, saying "Listen to me, you are right". As a result, the other party was not only unwilling to believe it, but sometimes became even more suspicious.
So players have learned well. When encountering similar things, if they have doubts, they should hide them in their hearts, follow the NPC to investigate, and then be prepared.
Anyway, as long as the investigation goes smoothly, the real culprit will definitely be found in the end.
Of course, it would be much more troublesome if it was treacherous.
But... "I said, do you really want to take them with you to investigate? I think it might be faster for me to act alone."
Duanmuhuai looked helplessly at Fanswijk beside him. To be honest, he could understand that Emilia was leading the team. After all, this was an internal investigation matter. As a member of the Silver Knights, Emilia was an official member of Neverwinter City. That is, the one responsible for observation and reporting reliability. But that Luo Qixi... looks like she's just a little girl under fourteen years old. What's the point of bringing her along?
In the previous investigation, she also used a light technique.
"This investigation is very dangerous. I have no interest in playing house with a fourteen-year-old girl."
"Please don't treat me like a child."
Hearing Duanmuhuai's complaint, Luo Qixi, who was standing next to him, suddenly became unhappy.
"I am thirty-six years old."
"…………Huh??"
Hearing Luo Qixi's answer, Duanmu Huai's eyes widened in surprise. Then he reached out and grabbed Luo Qixi's collar, lifted her up like a cat, and looked at her carefully.
"Where's the liar?"
"This is true, Mr. Duanmuhuai."
Vanswijk explained from the side.
"This young lady is a member of the Migrud clan. The characteristic of their clan is that their appearance does not change after they grow up to the age of fourteen. We have also confirmed her identity and criminal record, please rest assured."
"………………"
When Duanmuhuai heard Fanswijk say the word "criminal record", he saw Luo Qixi's expression became slightly gloomy.
"So does she have a criminal record?"
"No, she is a magician with a clean record, so we invited her to join the investigation."
"Oh..."
Duanmuhuai nodded, and then put Luo Qixi down.
But then again, this tribe won’t grow up after they turn fourteen?
Then the men who marry them...shouldn't they all have some problems?
Of course, the Tribunal doesn't care about this.
But to be honest, she doesn't look like an adult at all.
Sure enough, a healthy mind will only reside in a healthy body. Someone with a kid figure like this will probably remain a kid for the rest of his life.
"I hope you can let me see what you are capable of next time instead of just hiding behind and shaking."
"I, I know...!"
Hearing Duanmuhuai's words, Luo Qixi's face turned red and she turned her head angrily, but she felt that she couldn't blame herself. If the opponent were bugbears or goblins, she would have already taken action. But that monster was so disgusting. Thinking about it now makes Luo Qixi want to vomit. It’s the first time he saw that kind of monster and he didn’t panic!
"Mr. Duanmu!"
At this moment, Emilia had also completed her investigation and ran back happily, holding a contract in her hand.
"It has been found. This warehouse was the property of the Hogg family a long time ago. Not long ago, the ownership was changed to Master Duzel through a change of procedures. Their family is located in the Black Lake District. Let's go find them immediately!"
Duanmu Huai naturally would not object to this, so soon, the group only had time to drink a cup of hot tea before leaving the Temple of Taire and walking towards the Black Lake District.
However, when they came to the gate of Black Lake District, they found that the place was heavily guarded and seemed to be very troublesome.
"What's going on?"
Amelia also hurried forward and said hello to the guard responsible for guarding the door.
"Is there an infectious disease outbreak in Heihu District?"
"Oh, Emilia, that's not the case, don't worry."
Faced with Emilia's inquiry, the guard returned a salute to her and then spoke.
"Those gentlemen in the Black Lake District are very afraid of death, but..."
"Just?"
"I heard that thugs sneaked into the Hogg family's mansion in the Black Lake District, and robbed Mr. Hogg of his valuable property, and even Mr. Mandane was killed... Hey, so those nobles wanted us Be alert, but where are the manpower coming from now..."
"Is Mr. Hogg okay?"
"He's fine, he's making a scene at the Sheriff's place right now."
"Huh..."
Amelia was relieved to hear that Mr. Hogg was okay. After all, they were going to question Hogg next. If the other party died, then... they wouldn't be able to ask anything.
"Let's go, Mr. Duanmu."
Having said this, Emilia also looked determined and walked towards the gate of the Black Lake District.
