Chapter Seventy-Four: Grimm (American drama "Grimm")
It was Gu Qingcheng who came to the door, and it seemed that they still considered their previous acquaintance. However, for Lin Xuan, nearly two years have passed since that encounter.
Gu Qingcheng seemed to be a little surprised by Lin Xuan's coldness. But good training quickly got her into shape. After all, this time it came with a mission.
"Have you thought about your request? First of all, I will not agree to all requests. Even if I could, I wouldn't necessarily do it. ”
Lin Xuan's words were obviously full of warnings, but Gu Qingcheng had already made sufficient preparations before that. Hundreds of psychologists profiled Lin Xuan based on his past. This was used as the basis for psychological analysis after the turning point in his life. At the same time, there was even a team of nearly 100 physicists, mathematicians, and even web novel authors who made a series of guesses about Lin Xuan's ability.
"We had a lot of discussions, and we finally wanted to get some information about the dragon."
"The dragons are all given to you, are there any other questions?"
"It's far from that simple. According to our researchers' report, they haven't really been able to understand the dragon so far. To put it simply, some of its physiological characteristics do not seem to be very consistent with our existing biological theories. And it doesn't seem to be just about living things. ”
"I see, don't put too much energy into the physiological aspects. It's from another ecosystem, so there's no comparison. As for its other features, you can refer to Western legends about dragons. I can tell you clearly, it's a magical creature. ”
Gu Tingcheng left, and the exchange between the two was only a short ten minutes. But the shock brought to the relevant departments behind the scenes was enough for them to digest for a while. Lin Xuan no longer paid attention to these trivial matters, turned around and continued with his next crossing plan.
Portland is the largest city in the U.S. state of Oregon, with an oceanic climate close to the Pacific Ocean. This kind of city is very suitable for growing roses. There are plenty of rose gardens in Portland. This is why it is known as the City of Roses. It is one of the most livable cities in the United States.
It's a pity that Portland in Green's world is indeed a different sight. It's a gathering place for dark creatures and the beginning of a series of legends. Countless dark races pop into the city. They maintain a fragile balance with each other.
The main character, Nick's family, has guarded the city for hundreds of years and is the most important hub that maintains the balance of the city. All of this, however, was shattered in Nick's time.
The creatures of darkness have been hiding for so long that they have begun to lose their minds. They want to be able to come out of the darkness and become true masters. Their royal family has decayed, and no longer has the power it once did. And the so-called Green Biological Committee has also been reduced to a paper body. A vast dark organization of dark creatures manipulates all of this behind the scenes. They are called 'darkclaws'. Dark depths swell, and fragile balances are shattered at the touch of a button.
Nick is currently a senior detective with the Portland Police Department. He has a beautiful girlfriend and his career is on the rise. Originally, he should have become the envy of many people. It's just that no one knows that Nick is facing a serious problem.
About a few days ago, Nick began to feel himself hallucinating. He always sees people suddenly turn into all sorts of monsters. The feeling of clarity and realism almost kept him awake at night.
He didn't dare to bring it up to anyone. Americans take the mental condition of the police very seriously. He would even lose the job once his condition was exposed.
Tired Nick comes home from work alone. He just didn't want people to know about his problems. And today he just learned that his aunt was coming to the house.
Nick's parents died in a car accident at an early age. At least that's what he thinks. Aunt Mary used to raise him for a long time. For him, it is equivalent to a motherly existence. This is a pretty important thing for him.
It's just that the meeting with Aunt Mary wasn't as warm as he had imagined. Aunt Mary looked hurried, as if she was hiding from something. She stopped Nick at his doorstep. And gave him a key.
"Nick is the key to my trailer and she's ...... Put it away. Someday you're going to need it. ”
"What, what's going on. We can go in and say. "Nick wants to bring Aunt Mary into the house. But was rejected without hesitation.
"Look, we're running out of time. You have to leave Juliet, it's too unsafe for her. ”
"What?"
"Damn, he's catching up."
Nick subconsciously turned around, only to see a tall man walking towards them with a giant sickle-shaped weapon.
Nick subconsciously pulled out his gun. But the other party has already rushed up. He hurriedly dodged. At this time, Nick remembered that his Aunt Mary was still behind him. He hurriedly looked back. A scene that surprised him appeared.
Aunt Mary, who was in her fifties, easily avoided the man's attack. Aunt Mary, who had to walk with crutches, was surprisingly agile. What's even more amazing is that she twisted her crutches and only listened to the sound of a pop. A rapier was pulled out of the cane.
The blade that shimmered with cold light indicated that it was not an ornament, but a murderous weapon. Aunt Mary, who has a long sword in her hand, actually fights with the mysterious man. But that's when the mutation happened. I saw the man looking up to the sky and roaring, and the whole person changed. Under the dim streetlights, Nick couldn't see what it was. It's just that he was trained to draw his gun decisively.
"I repeat, don't move."
Nick's words finally caught the other party's attention. The other party turned to Nick, only to see a furry beast-like face appear in front of him. Nick couldn't tell what it was, but he was sure it wasn't a mask or something.
"Fuck, what's this?"
"Can you see that?" Aunt Mary on the side was surprised.
"You can see that too."
An angry roar interrupted the conversation between the two. The monster with the scythe seemed to be furious at the men's ignorance. rushed directly towards the two of them.
Nick decisively fired three shots in quick succession. Knock your opponent to the ground. He turned around and was about to ask Aunt Mary what was going on. But when I saw Aunt Mary, my body was so weak that she fainted directly to the ground.
After taking Aunt Mary to the hospital, Nick was extremely confused. But in the dark, he was already beginning to feel that something was about to change in his life.
