At the local police station, Duanmu Huai found some clues, although at first, the sheriff did not like their visit. But after learning that they were invited by Earl Best, they were relieved.

According to the police, this must have been the work of some gangster.

The reason why they have this judgment is based on solid evidence.

According to the autopsy records of the police, the people who were killed before were all bitten alive by some kind of creature. The photo in the magazine was an accident, it was just one of the wounds, and in fact, the perpetrator did not bite their necks alone, but all over their bodies, as if they had been attacked by some herd of wild beasts.

Although the autopsy record is indeed a death due to excessive blood loss, this is completely different from the rumored vampires in the world——— no matter who has so many wounds on their body, they will die of blood loss.

As for the cemetery, it was indeed excavated, but all traces indicate that the grave was dug up from the outside, and if it was a vampire, it would certainly not be from the outside, but from the inside.

To put it bluntly, those magazines are also the headline party, deliberately taken out of context.

And the reason why the police judged that it was the gangsters was not completely unfounded. Because those corpses ......... Not locals at all, and not outsiders either. According to the results of their investigation, these people are all foreigners, and all of them are refugees who entered the country illegally!

So the police decided that this should be the work of an organization related to human trafficking, or maybe they had an internal conflict, maybe they had some kind of conflict with these refugees, and then killed each other and tried to destroy the body.

Of course, there are no contradictions in this, such as if it is human trafficking, why use this method to kill people, it is better to just line up and shoot it. According to the police, this is to make other refugees obedient, and the victim is likely to have been bitten to death by a vicious dog raised by the criminal group——— which can also be used to explain the strange tooth marks on the victim's body.

So they're now investigating the gangs in the neighborhood to see if there's any clues about human trafficking——— so in the eyes of the police, it's just a simple, heinous murder case, but it definitely has nothing to do with legends like vampires.

"All in all, please tell Count Best that our police will definitely find the culprit and bring him to justice!"

After saying this, the sheriff invited Duanmuhuai and the others out of the police station.

“………………………”

Mary held the notebook in her hand and looked at Duanmu Huai with a confused expression.

"Mr. Duanmu, what should I do next?"

"The police investigation is their business, but they also said that they can do anything as long as they don't interfere with their investigation, huh............ Do you remember where these bodies were found? ”

"Ah, yes."

Hearing Duanmu Huai's inquiry, Mary nodded, and then flipped through the notebook.

"It was in a renovated mansion in Winut Bay, which, according to the police, was originally an abandoned mansion, and then a gentleman named Vinscott bought it and planned to completely renovate it, and then found that in the process of renovation, workers were missing one after another, and then the body was found........."

At this, Mary frowned.

"Moreover, the bodies found were completely unrelated to the missing workers, and they were all men, and according to the autopsy report, the time of death should have been a few weeks ago."

"So at present, the police are investigating in the direction of human trafficking and gang trafficking, and they want to find the missing workers, but unfortunately nothing has been gained......... What about Vince Court? ”

"The gentleman seems to have been frightened and is currently recuperating in a state psychiatric sanatorium, and the police have tried to find him for an investigation, but ...... It doesn't seem to have much to gain. ”

"Heh, the mental hospital, it's a familiar place again."

Duanmu Huai snorted coldly.

"Huh? Familiar? ”

"That's right, mortals who face monsters will be like this, because they perceive the existence they can't understand, which leads to a mental breakdown, and then becomes a madman, and everything he says will naturally be regarded as crazy by ordinary people, and then directly sent to a mental hospital. You have to tell people about your experience, and you probably end up like them——— so you have to look for clues, and the mental hospital is a really good place. ”

"Uh..............."

Hearing this, Mary's face turned pale.

"Do you have to go? I'm a little scared..............."

"It's up to you, didn't you say you wanted to record the investigation and write it down?"

“………………… I'll go! ”

For the dream, Mary also fought hard.

Although the decision had been made, Mary still couldn't hold back her inner doubts on the way to the mental hospital.

"Mr. Duanmu, you said that humans would go crazy when they saw those things......... But we've seen a lot of similar things, so why don't I think it's that dangerous??? And you and Miss Lorena seem to be normal, right? ”

Looking at Duanmu Huai, Mary asked the question in her heart suspiciously, she was not afraid of those monsters, whether it was Xiugues, or the demon dog of the Baskervilles, or the incarnation of Gracchi that Mary had killed before, it was disgusting enough, and it was terrible to say that it was terrible, and Mary had trembled in fear in front of them.

But for Mary, it seems that this is just the case, like going to a haunted house or watching a horror movie, when she is scared, she is naturally scared, but after sleeping, she is not so afraid.

So it's hard for Mary to understand why ordinary people go crazy when they see those monsters.

"It's not difficult to understand, you should already know that Lorena and I come from different worlds, in our world, similar monsters are commonplace, as an inquisitor, I want to execute not a thousand but eight hundred subspace creatures, and as a Celebrant Priest, Lorena has encountered many demons and monsters."

Saying this, Duanmu Huai spread out his hands.

"So for us, the monster here is disgusting, but for us it's not a big deal, it's just a strange disgusting monster."

"Uh-huh..............."

"But the people of this world are different, they didn't grow up watching monsters, and they never thought that monsters would exist, so when they witnessed the existence of these monsters, their entire worldview collapsed......... You can imagine how terrifying it would be to take things for granted in everyday life to suddenly find out that they weren't like this. ”

"Uh......... Sorry, I can't seem to understand. ”

"Let's put it that way."

Duanmu Huai snapped his fingers.

"How would you react if you found out that the humans you saw weren't what you saw?"

“……………？？？”

"Quite simply, let's say what you're seeing now is an illusion, and the patterns your eyes are catching are not real images. In fact, including me, Lorena, and your best friends, our real bodies look like wriggling pieces of flesh, with blood vessels shaking like snakes, and our bodies are covered with membrane-covered eyes. ”

"Woo..............."

Hearing this, Mary's face turned pale.

"This ......... It's really horrible........."

And the same is true of these people, who come into close contact with things that are not supposed to exist in this world, and because of this, their senses of the world begin to move towards those things......... To put it simply, can you imagine what the world will be like one day with the antennae of an ant or the eyes of a bee? ”

"Uh............... Please don't say any more, I'm not feeling well..............."

Just thinking about it, Mary was already pale and staggered at this moment.

"That's it, those people just can't take such a blow, so they go crazy."

"But I don't seem to be like that, do I?"

"Thank you for your golden eyes, because of it, your spirit is always solid. Like you said, horror is horror, just get some sleep............... You'll know what ordinary people without golden pupils will look like when they see those monsters. ”

As they spoke, the group also came to the mental hospital located outside the city, which looked unusually gloomy, and the windows around it were completely sealed by railings. Walking in it, the patients in hospital gowns are also weak, and the nurses look lifeless like the walking dead. Of course, none of this is the point, Duanmu Huai finds the director of the mental hospital, Dr. Berg, identifies himself, and hopes to meet with Vinscot.

"Nope."

The bespectacled Mediterranean doctor bluntly rejected Duanmuhuai's request.

"The patient is very agitated, and is currently being held in a ward dedicated to patients with extremely violent tendencies, and he is not being stimulated at all, especially ..............."

As he spoke, Mediterranean looked Duanmu Locust up and down and narrowed his eyes.

"Especially dangerous people like you who can traumatize other people."

“……………………………”

Even if it's true, Duanmu Huai wants to do it now, are you talking like that?

Although it is true...............

So Duanmu Huai did it directly.

I saw him stretch out his hand, go directly over the desk, grab the Mediterranean doctor's neck, and lift him up directly.

"You, what do you want to do?"

Mediterranean's face was also pale at this time, and he struggled desperately to open his mouth and tried to scream, but Duanmu Huai only used a slight force in his right hand, and his scream suddenly turned invisible.

"Like you said, I'm not an easy guy to deal with, Dr. Berg."

Duanmu Huai looked coldly at the eyes of the Mediterranean, exuding a trace of murderous intent, and then spoke.

"If you're not willing to accede to my request, then I'll have to reluctantly inflict a little trauma on you."

"Wait, wait a minute, if you do this, I'll call the police..............."

"This is a psychiatric hospital, maybe the doctor is also a psychopath, can you believe what the psychopath says?"

As he spoke, Duanmu Huai clenched his right hand again vigorously.

"Or would you rather be a corpse than be taken in as a mentally ill person?"

"Uh............... Uh..............."

"I'll only give you one chance to take us to meet him, YES or NO?"

“………………………”

At this moment, Mediterranean's face was already pale, and he couldn't speak, he could only nod desperately——— after all, his own life was more important.

Very good, deterrence was a big success.

Duanmu Huai nodded in satisfaction, then let go of his hand, and then the Mediterranean Sea fell heavily to the ground. And Duanmu Huai looked down at him like this, and said lightly.

"Alright, lead the way."
