Arkham City.

Mark was unfamiliar with the city, but thanks to the address advertised in the newspaper, he managed to find his goal.

666 Fool's Street.........

Holding the newspaper in his hand and looking at the storefront in front of him, Mark frowned. The exterior of the shop is very quaint, even quite simple, with only the words "Inquisition" written on the signboard of the shop, followed by a warhammer and a skull mark.

The same as the mark on the back of your own hand.

Thinking of this, Mark lowered his head again, looked at the mark on the back of his hand, and then looked at the pattern on the shop in front of him.

Same.

What's going on here?

Frankly, holding the newspaper and standing on the street, Mark now only feels like a pulp in his head.

Anyway, it's coming, let's go first!

Thinking of this, Mark gritted his teeth, put the newspaper back in his pocket, and reached out to push open the store door.

"Jingle bells."

The doorbell rang, the door opened, and Mark stepped into the quirky shop in front of him.

When Mark walked into the store and saw the layout inside, he couldn't help but be stunned.

After making up his mind to avenge his wife's elimination of the cultists, Mark also went to a lot of wizards and the like, and he had the impression that the guys were always hiding in the dark alleys, and the whole room was dark and mysterious, full of musty ancient books and disgusting weird props...............

However, the first impression of this place for Mark was completely different from the previous voodoo shops, not only did it look very clean, it looked very neat, and even looked like a ......... What brand store ???

That's right.

In front of Mark, there was a very neat storefront, and in the center of the store was a glass cabinet with all kinds of jewelry, necklaces, rings, and bracelets. And on the shelves next to the wall, there are all kinds of weapons. Including hammers, machetes, short swords, and even shields.

On the other side, there are ornaments.........

In this way, the entire store is divided into three sections, and, of course, there are special category labels.

On the side of the wall full of weapons, there is a sign that reads "Exorcism", outside the glass case where the ornaments are placed in the middle, and on the cabinet of the decorations next to it, there is a sign that reads "Town House".

………………… What the hell is this???

Looking at the storefront in front of him, Mark looked confused.

For a moment, he wondered if he was in the wrong place............... Just as Mark was hesitating to go out, a voice rang out.

"Ah, welcome to the Inquisition, this guest, what do you need?"

Hearing this crisp and nice voice, Mark raised his head and looked in the direction of the counter, but it was not an old witch who looked mysterious, nor was he a voodoo mage who tossed himself not like a personal voodoo mage, but a very beautiful and lovely girl, who was looking at Mark curiously with a smile on her face.

"Excuse me, did you come to the Inquisition to buy or sell items?"

"For sale?"

Hearing the girl's words, Mark frowned and walked to the counter, while the girl nodded.

"Yes, if you have something in your hands that bothers you, you can sell it to our Inquisition. Of course, if you need anything, then you can also buy our Inquisition items to relieve your troubles. ”

"You mean those ???"

Mark reached out in confusion and pointed to the cabinets behind him, while the girl nodded.

"That's right, if you have evil spirits or demons in your home, I recommend buying decorations for your townhouse. And if you are entangled by evil spirits and want to expel or stay away from them, you can choose an exorcism accessory. ”

"And what about exorcism?"

Hearing this, Mark stared into the girl's eyes and asked, but the girl was stunned for a moment, and then continued to speak.

"Of course, if you want to fight demons, you can also choose demon-slaying weapons."

“……………”

It's that simple??

Hearing the girl's answer, Mark frowned, he had also sought similar help from other wizards, but they either said that they did not have such means, or they told Mark that this is not something that ordinary people can control, where is it like here to directly put out a clear price for sale??

"Aren't there any requirements and risks?"

"Of course, if you choose to fight against demons, it is a risk in itself, and we can only provide you with a certain level of help to help you not be affected by evil and filth, but other than that, it is up to you."

Mark was not surprised by the girl's words, this is normal, as a soldier, he also has to rely on his own ability when shooting, rather than letting the gun in his hand fire automatically. It's just that the other party will tell me the truth, which somewhat surprised Mark, it seems that this "court" is really not the same style and routine as other bewitching sluts who pretend to be ghosts.

By the way, this .........

"So, do you have any guns here?"

"I'm sorry, sir, but we don't sell all ranged weapons, including bows and firearms."

This is also Duanmu Huai's decision, after all, a license is required to sell guns, and he is too lazy to make such trouble. In fact, the scope of the business license of the shop in front of me is antiques and crafts. And those weapons and accessories that "exorcise evil spirits", "town houses", "eliminate demons", etc., can be sold in the name of handicrafts, after all, this is not illegal, is it?

But guns are a different story.

Of course, the most important reason in addition to this is that, in Duanmuhuai's view, only close combat is the most sacred, bravest, and most loyal way to fight. Do you want to fight the demons, and instead of smashing the hammer through it, you shrink in and shoot like Titan?

You're not loyal!

Besides, Duanmu Huai's shooting level is so poor......... Forget it, don't talk about it, it's all tears.

"Of course, if you have any needs or services, you can go to the detective agency on the second floor for help."

Lorena naturally has to advertise her boss by the way.

Truth be told, if it weren't for the mark on the back of his hand, and if he hadn't had any nightmares since, Mark would have wondered if there was something wrong with the place.

After all, he didn't pretend to be a ghost at all, and he didn't fit his own ideas at all. In general, shouldn't this kind of thing be brought to the back and then take out some treasured treasure or something? Why are you so calm??

For Lorena, it is indeed quite calm, after all, she has done a lot of similar things in the Holy City, and it has long been a habitual job. Naturally, it won't be like those gods in this world, who don't know what to do crazy.

But Mark wasn't used to it.

According to his experience, the general kind of god stick goddess is ordinary in speech, like a riddler. Where is it like this young lady, it's like some kind of customer service, what you ask and she answers. Even when Mark asked her about the meaning of the Inquisition's mark, she made it clear that a pure human skull was a sign of human purity, and that those who had fallen into the company of demons had long since lost their human purity, and their skulls had naturally mutated. Thus the skull represents the sanctity and purity of human beings.........

Good guys, I don't know and think this is a museum for commentary.

Of course, the risks also need to be articulated.

"If you choose to use the power of the Inquisition, you will be considered a believer in the Inquisition, and after your death, your soul will go to the Inquisition to serve the Inquisition."

That's right, what needs to be said is still to be said.

But when he heard Lorena's explanation, Mark frowned.

You're so serious......... Is there really such a place as the afterlife?

"So, I want to meet with the dead, is that okay?"

"This ..............."

Lorena frowned at Mark's request.

"Sorry, we don't offer this service."

"Okay, I got it."

Hearing Lorena's answer, Mark nodded, and he began to choose his own merchandise.

After dealing with the cultists so much, Mark also has some understanding of their methods, and knows that the most terrifying thing about this group of cultists is that they can summon some monsters from other worlds through some cult rituals. And these monsters can't be defeated with guns alone.

Therefore, the selection of weapons has become his top priority.

So after thinking about it for a long time, Mark chose a dagger, and then a shovel.

That's right, shovel.

The weapons hanging here, in addition to the long sword, short sword, war hammer, shield and other commonly used melee weapons, taking into account the civilization of modern society, Duanmu Huai also specially prepared a lot of folk hardware supplies, including logging axes, shovels, hoes, etc., densely hung on a wall, people who don't know come and think what kind of hardware store this is!

This can be regarded as Duanmu Huai's heart-warming service, after all, he also knows that those investigators are running around, and there must be a time to dig pits and go up trees, and what happened to the shovel? The shovel can't shoot the dead?

As for why Duanmu Huai is not made into a multi-functional and multi-functional ......... for the army, Just kidding, he doesn't want to make money?

If you can make two portions, why should you earn one?

Mark is picking out the goods here, and his mood is just as weird, just kidding, he is going to kill the demons, what is the process like picking goods in the supermarket?

Do these things really work?

Luckily, none of these things were expensive on their own, and eventually, Mark picked out a shovel, a dagger, a ring and bracelet, and paid for it at the checkout...............

Of course, Lorena still has to work hard to advertise for her boss.

"If you have any needs, you are welcome to contact our boss at the office."

“………………… I'll think about it. ”

Looking at the business card that Lorena handed over, Mark hesitated for a moment and reached out to take it. But in fact, he didn't plan to ask for help. After all, Mark also knows very well that although those cultists are indeed hateful, in a society governed by the rule of law, his revenge is murder to put it bluntly, and this kind of thing is naturally known to as few people as possible.

So after packing up his things, Mark turned and left the shop.

"Hey..............."

Seeing this scene, Lorena also sighed helplessly.

She has already tried her best to solicit customers for Duanmu Huai.

It's a pity...............
