Duanmu Huai didn't go to the location of the black shadow for the first time, a few times before, he had already found that this thing was not to mention anything else, the speed was fast enough, although he was injured before, but Duanmu Huai was not sure if he could catch up with it. So he continued to choose fishing——— after all, the anglers will never be in the air force.

It's always good to pretend more. I don't know if this fish is stupid, so I took the initiative to take the bait.

So Duanmu Huai pretended to be surrounded by the other party and retreated to the other side of the street. As long as Mary is there, you can easily determine the exact location of that monster, and as long as the other party takes the bait, then it's time for Duanmu Huai to make a move.

The monster didn't seem to realize that it had been seen through by Mary, but it had been hiding in the mist, roaring like a beast from time to time, and then black shadows like hounds emerged from the fog and pounced on Duanmu Huai. They don't look like monsters with entities, more like some kind of illusion, of course, for ordinary people, I'm afraid they are completely impossible to deal with, but for Duanmu Huai, just an easy wave of his fist can directly blast these black shadow hounds into pieces.

Mary was hiding by Duanmu Huai's side, keeping an eye on the black shadow, Duanmu Huai couldn't tell which one was which, after all, in his opinion, the shadow monsters around him seemed to be similar, but for Mary, it seemed that it was easy to see which black shadow was strange......... Well, the golden pupil is indeed powerful.

Duanmu Huai remembered that there was also a kind of magic that could see through all illusions constantly, and since that magic was relatively easy to obtain, many players had that kind of magic at first.

As a result, it was a big suffer.

The reason is simple, it is also a kind of "magic". And as long as it is "magic", it is easy to be disturbed and disarmed. To make matters worse, the player was convinced that the magic could see through all illusions, so they didn't think they had been fooled until the end.

As a result, this situation continued until the middle of the game, when a player accidentally broke through the core of the mission, only to realize that the player had been deceived, and there was a wail in the forum at that time, that is, after that, many players no longer trusted the so-called magic that can see through all illusions.

However, this is still very useful for Duanmu Huai, he is not the kind of player who likes to use his brain, even if he plays games, Duanmu Huai actually hates decryption. For example, labyrinths or something, it has always been his most hated place. When the player teamed up to fight the evil god, he also directly chose the tyrannical god instead of the treacherous trick, because he was too lazy to go through the maze and solve the puzzle.

How cool it is to hit it directly, what's the point of wasting brain cells.

Strong violence can be suppressed with stronger violence, which is simple, direct and convenient. If you have been beaten, you have been beaten, if you can't fight, you can't beat it, you either live or die, where do so many things come from. Either smash the other person's head or be smashed by the other party, straight to the point.

So a battle like the one now is somewhat irritating for 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 at all——— which reminded Duanmu Huai of fishing, and the black shadow monster was just like a fish, just cautiously tasting the bait outside the hook, but refusing to bite the hook...............

This fish is the most annoying, and it has to be pumped in reality, so can you get used to it?

In that case, we have to work harder.

Thinking of this, Duanmu Huai turned his head suddenly, then grabbed Mary, put her on his shoulder, and ran forward in great strides.

"Huh? Mr. Duanmu? Ay?! This is...............?? ”

Faced with Duanmu Huai's sudden attack, Mary was also taken aback.

"Catch it, let's get some excitement!"

Duanmu Huai glanced around, and then strode towards the outside of the town, which would look like it would give people the feeling that they wanted to take the opportunity to escape because they couldn't resist the enemy, and if the black shadow monster took the bait, then for Duanmu Huai, it would naturally be the best.

"Wow !!"

The barking of the hounds was still incessant, and it followed. One by one, black shadows flew out of the mist left and right, rushing towards Duanmu Huai. Of course, this level of attack had no effect on Duanmu Huai, and he just waved his arms with ease, and smashed all those shadows to pieces.

"How? Mary? Did the guy follow? ”

"Followed, just behind, but it doesn't seem to want to come forward..............."

Mary almost guessed what Duanmu Huai wanted to do, and at this time, she was also put on her shoulder by Duanmu Huai, and obediently reported. Of course, being held on the shoulder is definitely not a polite thing for a lady, but now she doesn't care about such a trivial matter.

“…………… Then let's go back. ”

"Huh? Is that good? ”

"It depends on the situation, if the other party doesn't take the bait, we can only return to the manor temporarily."

Although Duanmu Huai can engage in a war of attrition with the other party, there is no need for this, after all, at present, this monster's ability is still very powerful, plus it is very fast, and it is also very smart. It is indeed not easy for such an opponent to take out at one time, and Duanmu Huai's own speed is not fast, in this case, if the other party is really unwilling to take the bait, then Duanmu Huai has no other way.

After all, his speed is really not fast——— which is Duanmu Huai's biggest weakness.

As he spoke, Duanmu Huai had already left the town with Mary on his shoulders and came to the path to the Baskerville Manor, which was also shrouded in fog at this moment, Duanmu Huai carried Mary in stride towards the direction of the manor, and in the fog behind him, black shadows swooped out of it, and then were smashed to pieces by Duanmu Huai mercilessly.

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

Sure enough, maybe it's because of the previous injury, so it's more cautious?

If that's the case, it's a bit of a problem.

A moment later, the gates of the Baskerville estate were close in front of them, and at that moment, Marie's slightly alarmed voice was heard in Duanmuhuai's ears again.

"Mr. Duanmu, that dark shadow is rushing towards us!"

It was too late to say it, and before Mary's words even fell, Duanmu Huai felt a strong wind suddenly blowing behind him, hitting his back!

"Good time!"

In the face of the attack, Duanmu Huai was not surprised, he was afraid that this monster would be instigated until the end, and now it seems that this monster obviously can't hold it back in the end, and sure enough, the beast is the beast!

So Duanmu Huai also turned around without hesitation, stretched out his right hand, and grabbed the other party directly!

"Bang !!"

The black shadow's claws slammed into Duanmu Huai's chest, tearing his clothes, and at the same time, Duanmu Huai's right hand also punched out, smashing directly into the black shadow's head. Unlike the previous Shadow Hounds, which were scattered at the touch of a button, this time Duanmu Huai could feel the touch of solid bones and fur coming from his hands.

"Ora!"

Now that he has finally caught this monster, of course Duanmu Huai will not let it escape, only to see him roar angrily, clenching his fists again, as if swinging out like a torrential rain!

"EulaOuraOuraOuraOuraOuraOlaOara!!!"

With Duanmu Huai's roar, the iron fist hit the black shadow monster directly like a storm, and then, I saw Duanmu Huai clench his fist again and raise it high.

"Euler !!"

Under this roar, Duanmu Huai's fist slammed down like a hammer, directly hitting the black shadow's head, slamming it directly into the ground.

"Bang!!"

And with this roar, the black shadow also fell to the ground and stopped moving.

It was only at this time that Duanmu Huai finally saw the true face of the monster in front of him.

Just like the one seen before, it looks like a dog, a bear or a chimpanzee, and is simply a monster with a dog's head, a chimpanzee or a bear-like upper body, and thick forelimbs and claws. It's just that at this moment, this monster has been covered in scaly wounds by Duanmu Huai, and even its head has been beaten to the flesh and blood.

Well......... It can only be said that this guy is too unresistant, and it is definitely not because Duanmu Huai is venting his anger that he can't catch up with it.

"Whew......... Whew..............."

At this moment, the black monster had been beaten by Duanmu Huai and was almost out of breath, it opened its mouth, let out a painful wail, then struggled for a while, and then there was no sound————— and then, I saw that this monster was like a plastic melted by fire, and its whole body began to gradually deform, turning into a pool of dark and rich, as if it was stinking 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, and if they die in the real world, they will basically not leave any traces. This is also one of the reasons why there are a lot of investigators in this world, but there are very few monster corpses that can really be recovered, of course, it is not that there are no monsters that will leave corpses after death, but those corpses are more like virus aggregates, and the mere existence will cause large-scale chaos and even disease, so qualified investigators will basically destroy the corpse directly, rather than bringing it back to find something.

Of course, it wasn't that there were no player card bugs before. For example, if you find out that something is wrong somewhere, go and investigate, and then find out that it is some frozen remains that caused the incident. The player then dealt with the event, but instead of destroying the remains, they let it out to raise the event again, and then process it again, and so on............... The result is that the points are deducted miserably.

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

Of course, the player can also hide this part as if they did not investigate the situation clearly, but then the score of the case will be lowered. Even if this is repeated several times, the combined case score is not as high as the score of a full investigation.

How so......... The offensive and defensive battles between player card bugs and official bug fixes will continue.

Soon, the monster completely melted, leaving only a puddle of sewage-like traces in the pure white snow, and at this moment, Suzume seemed to have noticed something, grabbed the cheek of the locust and meowed softly, pointing to it.

"Huh?"

Hearing the voice of the bell girl, Duanmu Huai looked intently, 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, which was an old-looking metal pendant with a wolf's head carved on it.

Well............... That is, is this a wolf?

“——————————！”

However, at the same time as Duanmu Huai picked up the pendant, his eyes suddenly darkened.

The next moment, the surrounding scenery changed suddenly.

In the dark room, an old man was sitting in a chair, staring ahead, as if looking at someone, with a strange smile.

"This is your family's fate, and if you want to change all this, you have to make sacrifices."

"Sacrifice?"

"That's right, you should understand what exactly we need."

Immediately after that, the screen turned again.

I saw that in the cold moonlight, in the endless wilderness, the howl of the hound came and went, a ragged girl ran desperately ahead, and 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 rang out.

"Is it true that by killing that woman, the curse of the Baskervilles will be lifted?"

"That's right, just kill her, then the curse of the Baskervilles will be lifted, and you will restore the glory of the family!"

Another voice rang out, but it didn't seem to be a single voice, but a voice coming from all directions.

Get her!

Kill her!

"Someone" began to gallop forward desperately, flapping the horsewhip, gradually closing the distance between him and the girl in front of him——— but soon, Duanmu Huai noticed that something seemed to be wrong.

Logically speaking, it is absolutely impossible for a man to outrun a galloping horse, let alone a hound. Although the girl looked very embarrassed when she ran away, she was able to keep a long-distance gallop posture in front of the galloping horses and hounds for so long, and if you think about it, there are many things about that legend that are very vague to scrutinize.

For example, how did an ordinary girl escape from the wilderness, and a group of people riding horses and hounds didn't catch her, even if the girl left early, it wasn't a difficult thing to catch up with her.

In other words, if you are an ordinary person, just seeing this scene will only feel pitiful for the girl being chased, but as a judge, Duanmu Huai has begun to be vigilant at this time——— but unfortunately this is a thing of the past, but for now, he will definitely not think that the girl is a poor innocent girl. If something goes wrong, there must be a demon, and this kind of mortal who is beyond common sense will do it as soon as he is replaced by a judge.

Sure enough, as if to verify Duanmu Huai's conjecture, I saw that the girl who was being chased in front of her suddenly leaned forward, and then landed on the ground with her hands, and the next moment she galloped on all fours like a beast on the wilderness. Seeing this scene, "someone" also seemed to be taken aback, but soon Duanmu Huai saw a gun appear in the field of vision, aimed at the woman in front of him and pulled the trigger.

"Bang !!!"

Gunshots rang out.

However, at the same time, I saw the girl on all fours suddenly leap and disappear. This sudden scene also surprised "someone", who held the gun and looked around, but saw nothing. But then, suddenly, with a neigh, the horse on which "someone" was riding fell to the ground in an instant, and "someone" fell from the horse and fell heavily to the ground.

"Hoo —————!!!"

"Someone" fell heavily on 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 man.

“———————！”

Then, the illusion vanished.

The scene in front of him returned to normal again, and Duanmu Huai frowned and looked at the necklace in front of him.

This is the third time that this inexplicable ability of his own has been activated, and sure enough, as he thought, it seems that what happened to the ancestor of the Baskerville family is not unusual.

But............... Now that this demon dog has been killed by himself, it should be okay, right?

Or is the trouble still to come?

"Mr. Duanmu, are you alright?"

When Duanmu Huai came back to his senses, Mary's voice also came to her ears, and she was clutching Duanmu Huai's clothes in horror at the moment, looking at his chest.

"Huh? Do I look like something is wrong? ”

"Because the clothes are ..............."

"Oh."

Sensing Mary's gaze, Duanmu Huai lowered his head, only to find that his chest had been torn by the monster with several cracks. From Mary's point of view, it may have been dangerous.

"It's fine, it's just torn clothes."

Just kidding, Duanmu Huai's physique can be directly bathed with liquid nitrogen, and it's too whimsical for a monster who doesn't know where to break his defense.

"Hoo ..............."

Mary breathed a sigh of relief when she heard Duanmu Huai's answer, and then she turned her head to look at the dark stains on the ground.

"In that way, is it the end?"

"Who knows, let's see the situation first."

Duanmu Huai took the pendant in his hand and said at the same time, 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 girl who was arrested was definitely not an innocent person, and the reason why the Baskerville family arrested her was definitely not purely for pleasure.

Maybe you can get more clues from this pendant?

All in all, let's try it out first.
