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 do something 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?"

"Absolutely not."

Lorena shook her head.

"Although this is a good place for a night run, I didn't encounter anything at all."

"Why……………"

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 his pattern of committing crimes was like this - 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 had searched almost all the teachers in the Royal Master Academy for information. Next, he would follow the information and target people one by one, for example...

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 his cowering look 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. 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!

Absolutely no way to 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 to talk to someone... 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 happened? Can she see me?

Seeing the girl's expression, Duanmu Huai was also stunned for a moment. Just kidding, he was using the Raven Guard's hiding skills to avoid her. Logically speaking, it should be difficult for ordinary people to see him, not to mention ordinary people. However, his hiding skills are completely useless to that girl?

Wait, is this the power of the golden pupil?

So scary?

Duanmu Huai didn't really understand what the power of the golden pupil was. Even as a player, he mainly went for [Illusion Immunity] and [Magic Resistance +80%]. As for the vague and indistinguishable characteristics of [Eye of Truth], unless someone used it, it would be impossible to explain it.

But now it seems... This golden pupil is really powerful!

He was hiding in the subspace, but he could 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 to bite the bullet and nodded to the latter, who also gave him a slight salute in return. Fortunately, the class 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.

Peeping is one thing, and being caught peeping is another.

Fortunately, he just stood in the shadows and didn't do anything weird. Well, it's like in a cartoon, the protagonist can act as he pleases in time stop, so he took advantage of his ability to stop time and lifted the skirts of girls everywhere in the classroom, and then was seen by another person who could also move in time stop...

That's simply social death.

Fortunately, Duanmu Huai didn't take advantage of his invisibility and really followed the girls into the locker room, or walked around the street without wearing anything, otherwise if he was seen by the other party, he wouldn't be able to explain it even if he had a hundred mouths.

Thinking of this, Duanmu Huai also shuddered.

It was a close call, he almost capsized in the gutter.

Now he didn't dare to wander around in the school dormitory. It was fine if no one could see him before, but now someone could see him, he didn't dare to wander around anymore, if he capsized, he would be finished.

Slipped away.

Because he was accidentally seen through, Duanmu Huai did not dare to go out and wander around again. Instead, he returned to the apartment and called Arkham City again. However, what made him depressed was that the news from the maid was still not very good. According to the maid, there were quite a few people who came to the shop below to buy some items to protect the house or exorcise evil spirits, but almost no one wanted to entrust Duanmu Huai...

A few days ago, a professor came and bought several pieces of exorcism accessories, saying that he would use them when he went out for archaeology...

Damn, the University of Michigan is really asking for death!

Hearing this, Duanmu Huai was also angry and gritted his teeth. He had forgotten the self-seeking nature of the group of people in the University of Michigan. When they encountered any trouble, these people would not look for detectives or police, but basically they would do it themselves. In the past, these people could do it themselves without weapons. Now that they bought exorcism accessories from Duanmu Huai's shop, they naturally had to do it themselves again!

Although as long as the customer uses the holy objects of the Tribunal, it is equivalent to becoming a believer of the Tribunal, but this still makes Duanmu Huai very unhappy.

You are stealing my business!

But then he thought, forget it, the people from the University of Michigan can handle it, probably not very strong guys, they can come to me when they encounter something they can't handle.

When it was late at night, Duanmu Huai also left the apartment with Lorena and began to walk around aimlessly, trying to find the legendary murderer.

The foggy city at night was as dead silent as ever.

On the dim road, only the gas lamps on both sides of the street shone with a dim yellow glow. The streets were full of fog, and even the buildings dozens of meters away seemed to be there and not there. Duanmu Huai held a cane in one hand, stared at the surroundings, and walked slowly in the shadows.

Since he came to the foggy city, he would do this every night.

But today seemed a little different.

Duanmu Huai could feel that there were a little too few people on the street today.

Looking at the pocket watch in his hand, it was almost twelve o'clock. Indeed, generally speaking, this is the time to go home and rest. But even if there were no ordinary pedestrians, the police would patrol here. However, in the half an hour from just now to now, the entire street was empty. Duanmu Huai could not even see a team of patrolling police, which made him secretly cheer up.

As the saying goes, there must be something wrong when things are abnormal. Tonight, I might be able to make big news!

"Ah————-!!!"

At this moment, suddenly, a girl's shrill scream came from a distance.

Hearing this sound, Duanmu Huai was stunned, and then hurriedly raised his head.

Found it! !

The next moment, Duanmu Huai's figure flashed, and he jumped up and ran towards the place where the scream came from!

While running, Duanmu Huai felt it.

The city has changed.

The windows that should have been lit by lights all turned dark. The foggy city at the moment is like a dark city without people. Only the Big Ben at the highest point is still shining with golden light.

No, this is not the foggy city, it is more like a subspace.

Duanmu Huai held his cane tightly and rushed forward with big strides. Unfortunately, his speed was not fast, but Duanmu Huai was not without a solution.

"Hah!"

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.

"Why?"

Seeing Duanmu Huai suddenly appear, the figure was stunned for a moment, stopped, and looked over in surprise.

"It's 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 Duanmu Huai 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.

"Suffer death, monster!"
