After handing over the time-consuming troubles to Detective Valentine, Fang Zheng lived a leisurely life for a while, and his daily work was to read the newspaper, drink tea, chat with Nimfu, go out for a walk, and then eat with Nimfu and Ryoko Asakura, and contact Tiandao Palace by the way.

Of course, Fang Zheng also reported the situation here to the Goddess of Order, but as he thought, neither Fina nor the Goddess of Order's collective knew what the Essence had done in this world, nor did she know why she did it, so Fang Zheng had no choice but to continue the investigation on his own.

And during this time, judging from the news in the newspaper that Fang Zheng reads, this world can be described as a group of demons dancing.

That's right, the demons are dancing.

Generally speaking, in other worlds, big media and serious newspapers cover national events on the front page, then discuss social and legal issues, and then other entertainment gossip and sports news. But in this world, whether it is financial and legal system or political entertainment, all kinds of media have reported all kinds of mysterious events happening in various places.

For example, in the spring of a certain place, there was a mass madness and hysteria, and many people who did not know each other suddenly began to shout that the end of the world was coming, and then smashed and looted the entire city. However, half a month after the police arrested these madmen, they suddenly came to their senses and said that they were completely unaware of what they had done.

There are also artists who commit suicide by jumping off a building in full view of the public after painting a blasphemous and horrific painting to participate in the exhibition, and a group of cultists besieging the police.

All in all, the media is full of suicides, homicides, mass madness, artist gibberish, and bizarre letters from readers who feel like they should send their editors to a mental hospital......... Well, all in all, I just feel like the world is a mess.

Of course, it's still fun as horror material.

By the way, Detective Valentine also gained a lot during this time.

As a detective, he is still very mobile, and it didn't take a few days for Valentine to report the information he was investigating to Fangzheng, and he went to ask his friends at the police station based on the photos taken of the jewelry before (the jewelry was returned to Fangzheng directly because Valentin felt disgusting), and it was soon learned that the pattern on this jewelry was related to a missing person case solved by the police station before.

At that time, the police were investigating a cult gathering in New Orleans, and they arrested a group of cultists. At first, they thought it was just an ordinary group of voodoos, but as the arrest and investigation deepened, the police believed that it was a new type of religious group that they had never seen before, so they enlisted the help of archaeologists and anthropologists.

Valentine himself got the news from his colleagues in the police department, and then went to visit the anthropologist William Brown, who had solved the problem for the police. QIAN Ning. Professor Webb. Although Valentine tried to discuss the issue further with Professor Weber, it was unfortunate that Professor Weber was too old and seriously ill to communicate with others, and Valentin received information from him that the pattern of the brooch on his hand and the strange idol that the police had asked him to investigate were related to a very strange religious tribe on the west coast of Greenland.

Then Valentine went to Greenland and sent a message back to Fang Zheng again.

Only this time his tone was a little hurried, and he told Fang Zheng that he had indeed investigated a mysterious Inuit tribe in Greenland, and learned something terrible, and he would continue to track it down, and then report again. Then, before Fang Zheng could speak, Detective Valentine hung up the phone for fear of someone eavesdropping.

And when he received another call from Detective Valentine a few days later, the detective's voice had begun to distort, and even showed signs of hysteria, and he asked Fang Zheng to come to the port of Dunedin in New Zealand to meet him immediately, and he noticed something terrible, but he was not sure......... Well, hearing this, Fang Zheng knew that he was in the right place.

Probably.

After that, Fang Zheng took Nimfu and Ryoko Asakura, and called Francis to New Zealand to meet the detective at the designated hotel.

But...............

"You look so bad, Detective Valentine."

Looking at Detective Valentine, who was pale and thin-cheeked, Fang Zheng couldn't help but sigh, and Valentin waved his hand very nervously, signaling Fang Zheng not to speak, and then he quickly opened the door and glanced around, as if he was worried about being watched by someone, so he quickly closed the door.

Not only that, but Fang Zheng also found that almost all the doors in Valentine's hotel room were locked, including the windows, and even the mirrors were tightly blocked.

"Honestly, Mr. Van Helsing, if you don't come again, I think I'm going to collapse........."

As he spoke, Valentine made a gesture behind him, and Fang Zheng saw a red-haired woman lying on the bed not far away, who was unconscious at the moment.

"Who is this?"

"Her name is Wendy, and she is Professor Webb's granddaughter, and I told Professor Webb that I wanted to investigate this matter, and he himself was too sick to move, so he asked his granddaughter to help me investigate."

"Oh........."

Fang Zheng looked at the red-haired woman meaningfully, then stared at Valentine.

"You're going to use the money I gave you to pick up girls?"

Although in detectives, this is also a daily operation.

"No, I'm not ........."

Valentine looked a little embarrassed by Fangzheng's inquiry, but he quickly diverted the topic.

"These are ........."

"They're my assistants, and this is my client."

Fang Zheng introduced each of them to each other, and then sat on the sofa and looked at Valentine.

"Alright, Detective Valentine, we didn't come all the way from Arkham to New Zealand, a place where birds don't, to catch up and make friends, tell me what you found."

"Yes, Mr. Van Helsing, frankly........."

After finding clues from Greenland, Valentine came to Dunedin Harbor in New Zealand, according to Valentine, there was a group of mixed races who also followed that religion and seemed to be doing something here, and they had a very bad reputation in the docks, and legend has it that these people always run into the woods at night for unsightly gatherings, and some even believe that they are devil worshippers.

In addition to this, Valentine also learns that these people seem to be planning to perform some "major ritual" recently, but just as he is about to investigate further, Valentine finds himself being followed.

And after that, he always had some mysterious hallucinations, encountered some unexplained things, and Miss Wendy, who was with him, fell into a coma two days ago, although the doctor was called, but I don't know why it was the members of those terrible half-breeds, but fortunately Valentine was very vigilant at that time, which made them retreat.

But.........

"At that time, those people didn't feel like human beings at all, and they emitted a very strange fishy smell, which I thought was the smell of fishermen at sea, but it wasn't like that at all, and their hands and feet seemed to be different from ordinary people........."

Hearing Detective Valentine's story, Francis also turned pale and nodded repeatedly, and it seemed that he also remembered the tragic experience in Innsmouth.

"I understand the situation."

After listening to Detective Valentine's story, Fang Zheng nodded, and then he narrowed his eyes and looked at Valentine.

"I should have warned you not to explore the content, just investigate their destination and location, I said so, right?"

“…………… Be. ”

In the face of Fangzheng's inquiry, Valentine looked a little depressed, in fact, during the phone conversation, the other party did warn himself, don't care what they are doing, just investigate where they are doing. Frankly, this kind of request is rather strange to Valentine, as the average client asks for clarity on what the subject is doing and why.

But Fangzheng's request did the opposite, and he repeatedly warned Valentine to ignore why they were doing it, or what they were doing, as long as he knew where they were doing it.

But he still .........

“…………… Because that woman is right. ”

Fang Zheng silently glanced at Wendy who was lying on the bed, while Valentine lowered his head in embarrassment.

"Yes, she said that this sect is very old and quite valuable for research........."

I knew that horror and women in movies were normal operations.

Women, archaeologists, and researchers are basically the standard for doing things in horror stories.

Valentine's own instincts as a detective, coupled with Fang Zheng's warnings, instinctively felt that it was not a good thing to be close to those disgusting things, so he was able to maintain his sanity. But Wendy, on the other hand, is almost completely immersed in the study of things that seem disgusting to Valentine, and not only that, but her expression is becoming more and more trance-like, as if she is taking drugs.

Two days earlier, there had been an earthquake and storm here, and after that, Wendy fell into a coma and never woke up.

But fortunately, Valentine had already called Fang Zheng at that time, which could be regarded as arriving in time.

"Forget it, look at you......... Come on, drink this. ”

As he spoke, Fang Zheng took out what looked like a bottle of mineral water, Valentine took it suspiciously, then opened it and drank it cleanly, and then .........

The next moment, his complexion suddenly changed, and then he rushed directly to the bathroom next to him.

Then there was a "woo-woo-woo" vomiting and diarrhea sound, and after a long while, the whole person shuffled out weakly like Valentine again.

"Sir, that's what you gave me to drink......... What the? ”

"Think of it as holy water."

"Holy water .........? But how do I feel like I'm taking laxatives? ”

"Detoxification is good, now you feel better."

"This ......... Indeed........."

Although he looked weaker than before, Valentine was surprised to find that after the vomiting and diarrhea just now, all the voices that had been bothering him before were gone, not only that, but the tension that seemed to be clutching his heart tightly and making him fearful and uneasy also disappeared unconsciously, and the whole person felt more relaxed than ever.

It wasn't the result of taking a drug, it was more like the shadow that had been around the body had completely disappeared.

"It's ........."

"It seems to be working."

Seeing this, Fang Zheng nodded silently, he always hoped to find out what level the influence of the Cthulhu Mythos on the human beings in this world started, what Fang Zheng gave to Valentine just now was the magic potion he bought casually in the main world, which could be used to relieve spiritual charm, and Fang Zheng was thinking that if it didn't work, he would use other ones as experiments......... I didn't expect it to go so smoothly.

"Alright, let's get down to business."
