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 next to Duanmuhuai and kept watching the black shadow. Duanmuhuai couldn't tell which one was which. After all, in his opinion, the shadow monsters around him all looked 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 cry 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. Either live or die. How can there be 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 little 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 trying to rush 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 the hook......

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

In this case, 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 unable to fight, so he 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 with you?"

"It's coming, right behind, but it seems to be unwilling 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 to do so. After all, at present, the monster's ability is still very powerful, plus it is very fast and very smart. It is indeed not an easy task to kill such an opponent in one go, and Duanmu Huai's own speed is not fast. In this case, if the opponent is really unwilling to take the bait, then Duanmu Huai has no other way.

After all, his speed is really not fast---this is also Duanmu Huai's biggest weakness.

As he spoke, Duanmu Huai had already carried Mary out of the town and came to the path to Baskerville Manor, which was also shrouded in fog at the moment. Duanmu Huai carried Mary and strode towards the direction of the manor, and in the fog behind him, one black shadow after another rushed out, and was ruthlessly smashed into pieces by Duanmu Huai.

Although Duanmu Huai couldn't see it, according to Mary's description, the black shadow had been following them, keeping a distance.

Sure enough, maybe because of the previous injury, he was more cautious?

If so, it would be a bit troublesome.

A moment later, the gate of Baskerville Manor was in sight, and at this moment, Duanmu Huai heard Mary's slightly panicked voice again.

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

Before Mary's voice even fell, Duanmu Huai felt a strong wind blowing from behind him and attacking his back!

"Come on!"

Facing the attack, Duanmu Huai was not surprised but happy. He was afraid that this monster would be cowardly until the end. Now it seems that this monster can't hold 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 other party directly!

"Bang!!!"

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

"Ola!"

Since he finally caught the monster, Duanmu Huai certainly would not let it escape. He roared, clenched his fists again, and swung them out like a rainstorm!

"Ola Ola Ola Ola Ola Ola!!!!"

Accompanied by Duanmu Huai's roar, the iron fist hit the black shadow monster directly like a storm, and then Duanmu Huai clenched his fist again and raised it high.

"Ola!!!"

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!!"

Accompanied by this bang, the black shadow also fell heavily to the ground, without any movement.

It was not until this time that Duanmu Huai finally saw the true face of the monster in front of him.

Just like what he had seen before, it looked like a dog, a bear or a chimpanzee. In short, it was a monster with a dog's head, a chimpanzee or a bear's sturdy upper body, and thick forelimbs and claws. However, the monster was already covered with wounds by Duanmu Huai, and even its head was bloody.

Well... 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.

"Ah... Aww........."

At this moment, the black monster was almost out of breath after being beaten by Duanmu Huai. It opened its mouth and let out a painful wail, then struggled for a while, and then there was no sound. Then, the monster was seen like plastic melted by fire, and its whole body began to gradually deform, turning into a pool of dark and thick, like smelly sewage.

There is no way to do 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 traces. This is also one of the reasons why there are many investigators in this world, but there are few monster corpses that can be recovered. Of course, it is not that there are no monsters that leave corpses after death, but those corpses are more like virus aggregates. Their mere existence will cause large-scale chaos or even disease, so qualified investigators will basically destroy the corpses directly instead of taking them back to cause trouble.

Of course, it is not that there were no players who got stuck with bugs in the past. For example, if you find something wrong in a certain place, you go to investigate, and then find that it is a frozen remains that caused the incident. Then the player handles the incident, but does not destroy the remains. Instead, it releases it to cause the incident again, and then handles it again, and then repeats it again... The result is that the points are deducted horribly.

After all, the system is not a fool. If the investigation of a case is meticulous, the culprit will definitely be found. If you find the culprit but do not deal with it, isn't it obvious that you are cheating points?

Of course, players can also pretend that they have not investigated the situation clearly and conceal this part, but in that case the score of the case will be lowered. Even if this is repeated several times, the added case score is not as high as the score of a complete investigation.

How to put it... The offensive and defensive battle between players' bug fixes and the official bug fixes will probably continue.

Soon, the monster melted completely, leaving only a pool of sewage-like traces in the pure white snow. At this moment, Ling Nu seemed to have discovered something. She scratched Duanmu Huai's cheek, meowed softly, and pointed at it.

"Hmm?"

After hearing Ling Nu's voice, Duanmu Huai looked carefully, and then he saw that there was something left behind the black stain.

Looks like... a pendant?

Duanmu Huai reached out and picked up the pendant. It was a metal pendant that looked very old, with a wolf head pattern engraved on it.

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

"——————————!"

However, just as Duanmu Huai picked up the pendant, his eyes suddenly went black.

The next moment, the surrounding scenery suddenly changed.

In the dark room, an old man was sitting on a chair. He stared ahead, as if he was looking at someone, with a strange smile.

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

"Sacrifice?"

"Yes, you should understand what we need."

Then, the scene changed again.

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

Then, a voice sounded.

"Is it true that if you 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 also revive the glory of the family!"

Another voice sounded, but it seemed that it was not a voice, but a voice coming from all directions.

Catch her!

Kill her!

"Someone" began to gallop forward desperately, slapping the whip, gradually closing the distance with the girl in front—but soon, Duanmu Huai found that something seemed wrong.

Logically speaking, it is absolutely impossible for a person to outrun a galloping horse, not to mention the hounds chasing after her. Although the girl looked very embarrassed when she ran away, she was able to keep running for such a long time in front of the galloping horse and hounds. If you think about it carefully, there are many vague places in the legend.

For example, how did an ordinary girl escape from the wilderness, and a group of people riding horses and releasing hounds failed to catch her. Even if the girl left early, it would not be difficult to catch up with her.

If it were an ordinary person, just seeing this scene would only make her feel sorry for the girl being chased, but as a judge, Duanmu Huai has begun to be vigilant at this moment—unfortunately, this is a thing of the past, but for now, he will never think that the girl is a poor innocent girl. There must be something wrong when things are abnormal. If it were a mortal who was beyond common sense, the judge would take action immediately.

Sure enough, as if to verify Duanmu Huai's conjecture, the girl being chased in front suddenly leaned forward, then put her hands on the ground, and the next moment she was running in the wilderness with all four limbs like a beast. Seeing this scene, "someone" seemed to be shocked, but soon Duanmu Huai saw a gun appear in his field of vision, aiming at the woman in front and pulling the trigger.

"Bang!!!!"

The gunshot rang out.

However, at the same time, the girl on all fours suddenly jumped up and disappeared. This sudden scene also surprised "someone". He looked around with the gun in his hand, but saw nothing. However, at this moment, suddenly, accompanied by a neigh, the horse ridden by "someone" fell to the ground instantly, and "someone" also fell off the horse and fell heavily to the ground.

"Huh---!!!"

"Someone" fell heavily to the ground, and before he could get up, suddenly, a face appeared in front of him. It was a twisted, hideous 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 was the third time that this inexplicable ability of his had been activated. Sure enough, just as he thought, it seemed that the ancestor of the Baskerville family had encountered something unusual.

However… Now that the demon dog had been killed by him, it should be okay, right?

Or was the trouble still to come?

"Mr. Duanmu, are you okay?"

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

"Huh? Do I look like I'm in trouble?"

"Because of the clothes…"

"Oh."

Sensing Mary's sight, Duanmu Huai lowered his head and found that his chest had been torn by the monster. From Mary's point of view, it might be a very dangerous thing.

"It's okay, it's just the clothes that were torn."

Just kidding, Duanmu Huai's physique can be directly bathed in liquid nitrogen. It's too whimsical for a monster that came from nowhere to break his defense.

"Huh…"

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

"Is this the end?"

"Who knows? Let's see what happens first."

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

Maybe we can get more clues from this pendant?

In short, let's give it a try first.
