Chapter 848: Far East
The plane crossed the sea and flew into the distance.
Duanmu Huai leaned back in his chair, looked at the scenery outside the porthole, and then stretched.
"It's boring............ This time I had to run so far......... Forget it, it's all the same, Mary, tell me what's going on over there? β
"Ah, yes!"
Hearing Duanmu Huai's inquiry, Mary also nodded, and then took out a document and opened it.
"This is an invitation from the Far Eastern Special Countermeasures Agency, who are currently tracking down and eliminating the monster called the Ghoul in the country, and the letter says that the Inquisition has excelled in the battle against vampires and werewolves in Western Europe, so they want our assistance."
"Are they talking about ghouls, the kind we've ever encountered?"
Ghouls, Duanmu Huai and Mary have also seen a few times in the American continent and fog, basically some skinny, like walking human spiders, to say weird is also quite strange, but not threatening.
"Hmm......... It doesn't seem to be quite the same. β
Mary flipped the page.
"They also sent a report from the ghouls βββ here."
"Oh."
Duanmu Huai stretched out his hand, took the report handed by Mary and flipped through it.
Judging from this investigation report, the ghouls encountered in the Far East are obviously completely different from those encountered by Duanmu Huai and Mary, according to the report, the ghouls in the Far East are almost indistinguishable from humans on weekdays, do not see any problems at all, and are not as sensitive to sunlight and ultraviolet rays as vampires. They possess physical qualities far beyond those of humans, and then when they eat or activate their abilities, their eyes turn red, which is called Hercule.
These ghouls have organs called Katsuko, which appear during hunting and fighting, and are considered to be unique offensive and defensive weapons for ghouls. According to the classification of the countermeasure bureau, it is divided into four categories: feather, jiahe, scale, and tail. But in any case, these ghouls have very strange special abilities, but they are not to the level of magic, and are more similar to superpowers in the strict sense.........
"Okay, looks like this thing should be a little more fun than that vampire."
Duanmu Huai roughly flipped through the report and threw it to Mary casually. Mary took the papers, put them away again, and then looked at Duanmu Huai suspiciously.
"Mr. Duanmu, although it is not good to say this, but ......... For something of this magnitude, you shouldn't need to do it yourself, right? β
Mary has been fighting with Duanmu Huai for a while, knowing that Duanmu Huai will hand over some small problems to others to solve, in fact, this time Mary came to ask for help just hoping to get some assistance, but I didn't expect Duanmu Huai to come in personβββ of course, if Duanmu Huai makes a move, these guys are indeed vulnerable, but Mary always feels that this is a bit of an anti-aircraft gun to fight mosquitoes.
Obviously, all I need to do is send some night guards to help me.........
"Other worlds are fine, but yours is not."
Duanmu Huai waved his hand.
"Huh?"
"You should know that the worst enemy of the Inquisition is the evil god."
"Yes, I heard Mr. Duanmu say it."
"Frankly, there's something trickier in your world than that."
"Huh?!"
Hearing this, Mary was taken aback and looked at Duanmu Huai in surprise.
"Is it true?"
"Of course, those evil gods are doing things in the galaxy if they die, but the guys who are eyeing your world are all wandering around the entire universe. Otherwise, why do you think I don't allow others to come into this world? β
"That's ............... like this"
Hearing Duanmu Huai's answer, Mary was also quite surprised, indeed, Duanmu Huai had specially ordered that no one should go to Mary's world without his permission. At that time, Mary was quite puzzled, after all, other worlds could be in and out at will, why only her own world needed special care.
Now Mary finally understood.
"You've done a lot of commissions in this world, and you've probably seen some stupid fools buy some weird-shaped statues from a stall in some hell place, take them home, and then be mentally polluted and become a believer."
"Yes......... That's right. β
"I'm also afraid of this, if anyone accidentally takes something related to those guys to the Inquisition, then we will all be exposed under each other's noses, and the Inquisition does not have the ability to deal with two forces at the same time."
Saying this, Duanmu Huai yawned.
"So, I have to come here in person, at least rely on my strength and yours, there is still a chance to win against those guys, but there is a good chance that others will fall into their way without knowing it, so direct physical isolation is the best way. So, all the problems that happen in this world, it's the best way for me to solve them personally, and you don't know if you think it's just a junior task to run errands, maybe you'll run into troublesome hidden bosses. β
ββ¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β
Hearing Duanmu Huai's complaint, Mary also swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
"Is that really okay?"
"Most of the time, after all, your golden pupil can solve most of the problems, so I don't worry about letting you come and go, if there is anything unusual, you will definitely find out as soon as possible."
"That......... What if I don't have golden pupils? β
"Well, just to be on the safe side, I'm sure I'm not going to have any more dealings with this world."
"That's ..............."
Faced with Duanmu Huai's answer, Mary only felt a sigh of relief deep in her heart.
But soon, she was stunned.
Ay? Why do I feel so relaxed?
Is it because Mr. Duanmu will stay by my side? No way.........
Thinking of this, Mary couldn't help but secretly glance at Duanmu Huai.
Although Mr. Duanmu looks very fierce, but if you think about it carefully, he has always been very good to himself, and he has also helped himself a lot, and he feels very relieved to be with him. No matter what kind of danger you encounter, you don't seem to be afraid......... But what exactly is this feeling?
Could it be......... No, no, no, probably not, right? After all, what I like is the type of .........
Belch......... What kind of man do I like?
Mary found that she never seemed to have thought about it before.
"Alright, looks like we've arrived."
As Duanmu Huai spoke, Mary came back to her senses, only to find that they had crossed the sea and came to the other side of the land.
When Duanmu Huai and Mary stepped off the plane, the people who greeted them were already waiting there.
"First meeting."
What appeared in front of the two of them was a man with a strong figure, although not as good as Duanmu Huai, but he looked very strong.
"I'm the First Class Investigator of the Special Countermeasures Bureau, Kotaro Yamen, and the two of them are Mr. Tanmu Huai and Mary from the Inquisition. Clarissa. Miss Christie? β
"That's right."
Duanmu Huai nodded, and Kotaro Yamen also saluted the two respectfully.
"Please follow me."
Maybe they have considered the size of Duanmu Huai, and they are prepared for a van, although it is somewhat compact for Duanmu Huai, but at least they can sit in it.
And in addition to them, there was another person inside.
"Yo, hello, little ones from the Inquisition."
A white-haired, overcoat-dressed, rather thin-looking man sat in the back seat with a grin, waved at the two of them, and then squinted at Duanmu Huai.
"Tut-tut, seeing you like this, I thought you were one of those damn monsters."
"Listen to you, do you have a way to tell the difference between humans and ghouls?"
Duanmu Huai didn't care about the other party's tone, although he didn't welcome the banquet, and it looked like he was about to start working, but this was more in line with Duanmu Huai's mind. After more than ten hours on the plane, people have long been tired, and it is not bad to smash a few heads to wake up.
"This is the high-ranking investigator of the real Wu Xu, my partner."
Kotaro Yamen also introduced the others to the end of the wood, and then sat in the driver's seat, then started the engine, and then drove forward.
"I'm sorry, I should have welcomed you two, but our Special Countermeasures Bureau has our own way."
The real household investigator smiled, looking at Duanmu Huai and Mary.
"I've heard you're both very good at this?"
"Of course, that's why we're here."
"Good."
The real investigator nodded, then opened the laptop in his hand.
"We're going hunting, so let's show you how our Special Countermeasures Bureau works."
Then he spoke.
