Chapter 531 Heading South

Looking at Duanmu Huai in front of him, the man's hair stood on end. Under the moonlight outside, this ferocious face was like an indescribable beast, showing its fangs, trying to tear him into pieces.

Not only that, for the man, just being enveloped by this sight, he felt that his courage, will, and even the belief that he was willing to die for all along, seemed to begin to collapse at an unimaginable speed, just like the sand under the wind, or the melting snow under the sun. In just a moment, he felt that everything he had insisted on since he was born was crumbling in the eyes of the other party!

At this moment, the man stared at Duanmu Huai and suddenly widened his eyes!

"Yes, it's you!"

"Oh?"

Hearing the man's words, Duanmu Huai raised his eyebrows.

"Do you know me?"

"Of course... You have ruined the plan of the cabin twice in a row... I didn't expect that such a secret plan was known to you!"

Looking at Duanmu Huai, the man was almost crazy.

"How is this possible? This is the most confidential plan, how did you know? Who leaked the secret?!"

Hmm?

Looking at the man's expression, Duanmu Huai was stunned for a moment, and then immediately reacted. Obviously, from what the man said, the two actions of the Silver Twilight Hut that he had encountered on the train and the airship were actually part of a big plan. And the Dark City at the moment seems to be the core of this big plan?

And he broke the plan of the Silver Twilight Hut twice in a row, so they mistakenly thought that he deliberately took action after knowing everything?

But Duanmu Huai knew that all this was just a coincidence... Well, coincidence... It doesn't seem right.

Thinking of this, Duanmu Huai silently glanced at his pocket, and the rabbit inside was curled up and poked his head out to look outside curiously.

It seems that his lucky rabbit is really powerful.

Duanmu Huai didn't expect that the case in this foggy city would be connected with the cases on the train and the airship.

But now...

"This has nothing to do with you."

Duanmu Huai snorted coldly, stretched out his hand, strangled the man's throat and lifted him up.

"You just need to answer my question. What is the purpose of doing all this?"

"...You, you obviously already know..."

"Of course, that's why I asked this question. You should know that it's useless to tell lies in front of me."

This is naturally a lie. Duanmu Huai didn't know what Yinmu Hut wanted to do at all, but for him, it was not difficult to cheat. Although Duanmu Huai didn't have the charisma and speech skills of many players, he naturally couldn't use persuasion or see through, but in terms of deterrence... He is professional.

"Woo...ah..."

As Duanmu Huai's fingers exerted a little force, the man only felt that his throat began to be gradually compressed. He was like a deflated balloon, and the remaining air was exhaled from his lungs. Coupled with Duanmu Huai's ferocious eyes that seemed to want to eat him alive, the man had already collapsed at this moment and completely lost his mind.

"The world, the world will change completely... We will reshape this world, the great gods are coming, and the torch of the Tartar Gate has been lit..."

"Speak human language."

"So, everything is part of the plan. We know that the great gods of ancient times are wandering in the void, so we want to guide them to our world and completely change everything. The Tartar Gate is just the beginning. Miss Charlotte has come to the door and become a guide holding a torch. What we have to do next is to remove the seal and open the door... The Dark City is just one of them. All over the world, our compatriots are fighting for this great ideal... Ah...!!!!"

However, before the man finished speaking, Duanmu Huai's fingers exerted a little force, and soon he screamed again.

"In other words, what I encountered several times before was also part of your plan?"

"Yes, that's right... Opening the inter-dimensional channel leading to the black cave, calling for the favor of the Thousand-Faced God, and lifting the seal of the Dark City... are all part of the plan..."

"But I'm curious."

Duanmu Huai stared at the man and asked calmly.

"According to Professor Capek, Miss Charlotte has arrived at the Gate of Tartary, so why are you doing these stupid things here?"

"Miss Charlotte...she...she is special, and what she desires is different from ours. When she arrives at the Gate of Tartary, she can lead the gods to come with a torch in her hand. However, if there is no contact with the seal, the Gate of Tartary will not open...so we have to help her..."

"How many of you are there in total, and where are you?"

"………………………………"

Faced with Duanmu Huai's question, the man chose to remain silent for the first time, and Duanmu Huai laughed, then reached out and grabbed the man's arm, like pulling the arm of a toy man, raised it in front of the man, and shook it.

"See? This is your arm."

As he spoke, Duanmu Huai stretched out his finger and pressed it on the man's forearm, and then suddenly exerted force.

"Crack!!!!"

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!"

The next moment, the man's forearm suddenly broke like a toy man's arm that was bent in the opposite direction. Then Duanmu Huai grabbed his broken and twisted arm with his backhand, pulled it hard, and pulled the man's forearm off his arm!

"It's not now."

Duanmu Huai threw away the broken arm in his hand and stared at the man coldly. At this moment, the man's face was pale with pain. His legs struggled instinctively, trembling, and kicked the floor desperately, as if this could relieve some of his pain. But under Duanmu Huai's fear, the man couldn't even faint, and could only endure the pain that almost made his mind completely collapse.

"Answer me, how many of you are there? Where are you?"

"No, no! There are only four of us left here! Capek and Loret have failed, Charlotte has reached the Gate of Tatar, and I am the last person left in the Capek Research Society! As for where the other guests in the cabin went... I don't know! I really don't know... Ah ah ah ah!!!"

However, before the man finished speaking, he saw Duanmu Huai kicking out and kicking him directly on the knee, instantly smashing the man's left knee joint, and then his twisted calf was stepped on by Duanmu Huai, and was torn off his thigh - just like tearing a roasted leg of lamb.

"My patience is limited."

"South, Antarctica! They went to Antarctica!"

At this moment, the man finally couldn't help shouting.

"I only know this. They went to Antarctica and said they wanted to open the Gate of Tartar from there... They said there was a mysterious ancient civilization there a long time ago, and among their ruins there was the Gate of Tartar that truly connected to the present world! I really only know this. As for where they went in Antarctica, I really don't know! I don't know... Woo..."

Duanmu Huai was not in the mood to listen to the man's plea, and once again exerted a little force with his fingers to suppress the man's voice.

"...By the way, the last question, how did you recognize me?"

"...The guests in the cabin all know that there is a bald man with a fierce and ferocious face and a height similar to that of a monster who is blocking me......"

"Click."

This time, before the man finished speaking, Duanmu Huai suddenly grabbed his head and twisted it like a bottle cap, and then twisted the man's head off his neck, and the man's voice stopped abruptly.

It is indeed a cult organization, talking nonsense, what fierce and ferocious face, it's your turn to talk about it?

Although the man did not say where they went to Antarctica in the end, Duanmu Huai knew it very well.

In fact, after the man said the word "Antarctica", he knew where to go to find those damn cultists.

It was in the mountains and the plateau south of the Ross Sea, under the ice covered by severe cold and snow, where the city was sleeping.

The place where the great existence on this planet, the old rulers and their minions slept.

It is also a place where players flock to check in.

However, compared with other places, going to Antarctica is obviously more troublesome and more dangerous.

This was seen when Mary learned that Duanmu Huai was going to Antarctica.

"Mr. Duanmu, are you really going to Antarctica?"

"For now, this is the only way."

Duanmu Huai nodded. He was not worried that the man was lying. After all, in the system, Duanmu Huai could clearly see that the man's SAN value had been directly broken by himself, and he was completely in a crazy out-of-control state. In this state, he could not keep a secret at all.

"Can I, can I go too?"

"You want to go?"

"Yes, because didn't Mr. Duanmu say that the Gate of Tartar is in Antarctica? Maybe... I wonder if I will see Xia Li there... "

"It's not easy to go to Antarctica. Can you get a permit?"

"This... "

"Hearing Duanmu Huai's question, Mary, who was originally extremely excited, suddenly lost her voice. As Duanmu Huai said, Antarctica is not a place that anyone can go to casually. Not to mention that she is still a student and has no qualifications to go to Antarctica, unless...

"I remember that you are a student in the History Department, right?"

"Yes."

Although she didn't know why Duanmu Huai suddenly brought up this question, Mary nodded.

"Will the History Department have similar excavation and collection scientific expeditions?"

"This... Of course there will be."

Mary nodded again. As Duanmu Huai said, the History Department of the Royal Master's College often goes out to inspect relics and cultural relics. In fact, there are students who have gone with them. It's just that they are all big shots who have participated in the research association. A small transparent person like Mary does not have similar qualifications and opportunities.

"That's no problem."

Duanmu Huai snapped his fingers.

"Leave it to me."

"……………………???"

Duanmu Huai certainly didn't have any connections, but he didn't need any, after all, he still had the foundation!

After discussing with Mary, Duanmu Huai returned to the room, logged into the foundation's website, and then commissioned them to check whether the Royal Masters College had any plans to conduct scientific research in Antarctica.

The intelligence strength of the foundation is naturally needless to say. Not long after, Duanmu Huai received a reply. According to the intelligence investigated by the foundation, the Royal Academy of Science does have a plan to go to Antarctica for geological surveys, but as mentioned before, Antarctica is not something that everyone can go to. A scientific expedition takes a lot of time and costs astronomical. It is obviously unlikely that an organization directly under the royal family like the Royal Academy of Science can expect them to pay such a large sum of money to sponsor a group of people to go to Antarctica to dig stones.

Fortunately, this kind of purely public welfare research and investigation itself is not difficult to pass the review. The only problem is money.

As long as someone pays, then no problem is a problem.

Just like now.

"Thank you very much for your support, Mr. Duanmu Huai."

Professor Parmar of the Geology Department of the Royal Academy of Science had a red face, and he held Duanmu Huai's hand and shook it up and down desperately. This professor was in his early fifties. Unlike other teachers, he looked wind-baked and sun-baked. One look at his bronze skin and you can tell that he is a person who has been traveling all year round. Of course, the professor himself is also a very prestigious person, and even won the Royal Medal, but unfortunately... the medal can't let him exchange money to go to Antarctica.

But Duanmu Huai can.

"I have always wanted to go to Antarctica to explore and investigate the geological strata there, but unfortunately, it doesn't go as I wish... I have never been able to go... Thanks to your funding..."

"No need to say polite words, Professor Parmar."

Duanmu Huai waved his hand and interrupted the other party's flattery.

"In fact, I only have two requests. If you can meet them, then I can fully fund your scientific expedition plan."

"What request?"

"The first request."

Duanmu Huai said while holding out his finger.

"I've never been to Antarctica, so I want to go there and see the scenery there. Is that okay?"

"Of course I can. I can add your name to the expedition team list... but I didn't expect you to go there in person..."

"There's nothing wrong with going out. As for the second question... I hope you can add someone."

"Add someone?"

"Yes."

Facing Parmar's puzzled look, Duanmu Huai smiled slightly.

"Her name is Mary Clarissa Christie. She is a sophomore student in the History Department of the Royal Master's College. She has always been looking forward to going to Antarctica. If you can invite her to join your expedition team, I would be very grateful."

"This..."

It must be said that Parmar was stunned for a moment in the face of Duanmu Huai's request. He had heard of the name of Mary, a student, for a long time. She was indeed very smart and had good grades. However, he was not her teacher, so he didn't care too much.

Generally speaking, Parmar would definitely let the students of his research association take advantage of this opportunity. It would never be the turn of Mary, an outside student.

But this is the request of the sponsor... Why would this gentleman make such a request?

Thinking of this, Professor Parmar seemed to have thought of something and suddenly realized it.

Could it be that Mary Clarissa is the lover of this man?

This kind of thing is actually not uncommon. Of course, generally speaking, as a professor, Parmar does not comment on this kind of behavior. It's just that someone is willing to fund his scientific research project for his lover...

"No problem."

Soon, Parmar smiled and nodded.

"I have also taught Mary Clarissa. She is indeed a smart student. If she is willing, I would like to invite her to join my research club."

Although Professor Parmar didn't know whether the two were going to Antarctica for a honeymoon trip or something, he didn't care.

As long as there is enough money to fund his scientific research project, nothing else matters!
