Chapter 84: Interlude
George's gaze turned to the gun in Harley Harleyn's hand, and then to Li Zu.
"Gladly!"
Li Zu seemed to have really forgotten his goal of coming to the university, and nodded obediently, and the clown girl on the side was holding a gun in her left hand and a yo-yo in her right hand, and she had already taken the lead in the direction of George's finger.
Her figure twisting her waist and running quickly disappeared from the sight of the two,
A minute later.
Bang bang bang...... The continuous sound of gunshots, and the maniacal laughter of "giggles".
"Sweetheart, inside, it's all that stuff!!" Harley Quinn jumped out and saw that she was neatly dressed, and the battle just now should have been easy.
She danced and gestured, trying to describe what the basement looked like, but judging from the reaction at the scene, her gesture should have failed.
"That must be fun."
Li Zu recalled how he felt when he fell into madness, but Harley Quinn didn't seem to be bothered by these things.
"Solved?"
George looked at the two of them suspiciously, he looked a little disappointed now, but in the midst of the disappointment there was a surprise that could not be concealed.
His expression went completely unnoticed by the two weirder guys, or maybe the two of them had already noticed...... Just deliberately pretending not to know and not caring?
If Charles Reid had been here, he might have been able to tell with his formidable detective experience that Professor George only thought he was well disguised.
The students at the school had run away when they heard the first gunshot in the library, and there were only three people left on the eastern half of Oakmont's college campus.
The leaves are falling, and the air is bleak.
"I'll go see ......"
George decided to go down and see for himself, his trembling jaw and trembling lips had betrayed him, he knew what was going on underground, but he still resolutely went on.
After a while, with the sound of vomiting, Professor George walked out.
"Let's go, the police are coming!" George walked limpily against the wall, and he glanced at the two of them hurriedly, and saw that the man and the woman had calm expressions, and there was no fear of being chased by the entire Oakmont police.
Instead, they are discussing a place, and when it comes to madness, the two from Gotham always have something to discuss, after all, it's like home.
"Arkham? There are also many strange things in that place" George walked a dozen steps, and his nausea disappeared a lot, and he continued: "After the great flood, many strange things happened, and many monsters were born, my ......"
His expression changed, he swallowed the words that had been pushed to his throat, and continued: "I have communicated with professors from many universities, including Arkham University, of course, and many strange things have happened there, but we have no other way to deal with them except to exchange letters. ”
"Arkham here, too? That must be interesting! Harley quinn exclaimed.
"Innsmouth, Arkham ......" Li Zu looked at the 'world exploration level' that had reached 5%.
This also confirms his initial suspicion that Oakmont is only a corner of the world, and if he wants to completely unravel the mystery of this world, and thus understand why the "madness" of this world will summon him here from two worlds, he must not just stay in Oakmont to find answers.
That chance was too slim.
“……”
George led the way, and he walked in a hurry, as if he had made some kind of decision.
After turning a corner, listening to the footsteps behind him, George turned his head to find that only the decadent man was following behind him.
The curvy and strange woman in conspicuous colors has long been gone.
"We pray she doesn't get caught," George thought only that Harley Quinn left and acted alone.
"And pray that no one messes with her," he added in a whisper.
Relying on a pistol, the woman who shook the monster was bound to become the most difficult "criminal" in this town, and George was relieved that the other party left halfway, he didn't want to stay with a crazy woman, even if the other party looked sexy and beautiful.
More beautiful than his 'wife'.
……
……
In the early 20th century, the town of Oakmont was the most characteristic of the era, with tall and slender apartment buildings, windows dividing columns, and a few small courtyards that seemed to belong to the "rich".
Architectural aesthetics is in a transitional period of change and conservatism, and there is already a prototype of the development of architectural aesthetics.
George's house is in a crowded apartment building.
The two stood at the elevator entrance on the first floor for a while.
"The elevator is broken again, take the stairs" George seemed to have long since adapted to the situation.
He led the way in front, and the two went up to the second floor, with a baby stroller at the door of the room on the right.
"Alas!" George sighed and pulled the stroller away before pulling out the key and unscrewing the door.
The room was spacious, visibly dusty, and George didn't look like a cleaner either.
Li Zu sat at the table, unceremoniously grabbed the cold toast on the table and stuffed it into his mouth, it also takes physical strength to turn people back into toys.
Professor George will take off his coat and hang it on a hanger.
"After my understanding, they called Dagon the Father," he began, explaining the information he had received.
Dagon, whose appearance may be similar to that of the Innsmouth, is unknown, and it is very likely that the name "Dagon" was spelled with a similar word because the Innsmouth could not pronounce that pronunciation.
"Dagon" and "Dagon"...... Many approximate names.
"Dagon, the holy virgin, the god of pregnancy, and the monster with the head of an octopus and bat wings......" Li Zu racked his brains, but found that it was just a simple statistic, and his brain was like a wooden stick inserted into a maltose bucket, difficult to move.
Just recalling these peculiar existences is beyond the limits of his brain's calculations!
"It seems that Professor Dowe, and the contents of the cave, are in the hands of the Innsmouths." The next goal has been set.
"You're going to have to do me one more favor, and now all of Oakmont is in an unprecedented crisis...... I! Professor George's words were gagged, and Li Zu had already opened the window and jumped downstairs in the airflip.
"Hey!"
When Professor George rushed to the window, he had already lost his figure.
"That's right, he's going to become a wanted man now, how can you help me?" George patted his head in annoyance, and his gaze became firm: "I can only continue to poison!" ”
……
Li Zugang crossed a street, turned the corner, and pressed a hand on his shoulder.
"Bruce, you're such a real bastard!"
It was Charles Reed, and he followed.
Li Zu shrugged his shoulders with a flat expression of "Oops, I was caught by you".
"Didn't I ask you to wait for me at the hotel?" Reed turned his head from side to side, but he didn't see Harley Harleyn, but he didn't ask much.
He knew that Li Zu was somewhat "magical".
Of course, he was even more angry now that Li Zu had escaped again, if it weren't for his luck, he would definitely have lost this guy's whereabouts and made everything useless, including the separate room he had exchanged for a bullet.
"How's it going, Reed?" Li Zuhun didn't care, and he still had the heart to say hello.
"Awful! My cooperation with Sloghgmorton is at an impasse because you and I have not been able to get into the demon's fangs, which is now a police blockade! I didn't get the critical news and evidence! Sloegmorton just gave me a new assignment...... Now you're going to join me in solving this problem first, and then we're going to see Slogmorton!" ”
Reed didn't intend to explain slowly.
"Orangutan face?" Li Zu did not struggle.
In this town, the big family is the Earth Emperor, and the white ape Slogmorton is one of the big families.
"That's right, it's about a mirror, I've got some information, of course you just need to know that we have to go to the shelter now."
Li Zu looked at the policeman trotting in the distance and nodded, "I'm looking forward to investigating the case with you, Reed." ”
