Chapter 490 Trainee Investigator


    In this world, there is a group of people who are spread all over the world and have various identities, from gangsters, liars, reporters, gangsters to students, university professors, archaeologists, businessmen, rich people and even detectives, soldiers, police...


    Their career span includes almost every profession you can imagine in the world. These people are men and women, old and young, all over the world. They are not members of a certain organization, nor do they believe in the same religion. , let alone the same beliefs.


    These people have only one thing in common - that is, they once discovered the indescribable, terrifying and trembling existence hidden in this world and on the other side of the universe due to some coincidence or intentional or unintentional contact. Faced with terrifying threats that could make mortals mentally collapse and grovel for destruction, they mustered up the courage to face the indescribable threats and fears, and defeated again and again attempts to plunge humanity and the world into chaos and destruction. plot.


    They are the world’s greatest unsung heroes—investigators.


    According to the setting of this world, it is like this.


    Government departments in this world know something about this situation, and in fact they are also secretly studying this unspeakable threat. Of course, they do not admit this existence to the outside world. After all, once this kind of thing really breaks out, it will only cause panic in society.


    Logically speaking, at this time, just like in movies or comics, a special organization should be set up to deal with it - such as men in black or something like that. However, this is not the case in fact. In fact, the logic is very simple - if the government does not recognize their existence, then of course it is impossible to set up an organization to study or defeat these monsters. Otherwise, wouldn''t it be equivalent to admitting their existence?


    Similarly, in this case, it will be impossible for public officials to deal with these problems. This is just like everyone knows that dancing on the Great God is a feudal superstition, so you cannot let government employees dance on the Great God.


    However, this threat does exist, so how to deal with it?


    At this time, the investigator appeared.


    Basically, according to the settings of this world, as long as someone is lucky (or not) and encounters a similar thing, and finally escapes from it, they will call the police nine times out of ten. And if the police arrive at the scene and find that it is true, then they will invite these "survivors" to become investigators.


    To be honest, from a government perspective, the so-called investigators are more like external personnel/temporary workers in the police department.


    This is actually a solution that has no other solution.


    After all, look at what investigators do.


    You went to a small town to investigate a case of mysterious disappearances, and then found a suspicious house, so you picked the lock and got in.


    Then traces were found inside, and then the safe was opened and the documents inside were found.


    Then he discovered that there was a secret room in the wall and smashed the wall down.


    ??Alarmed by the unspeakable monster, the house was set on fire to avoid accidents.


    Hey guys, smash, loot and burn a dragon, right?


    This will involve human sacrifice, kidnapping, etc. When the police are dispatched to arrest people, they will go crazy in court. Without a search warrant, you dare to sneak in the door and pick the lock, and even smashed, looted and burned my house. Is this how you handle cases? Is this evidence legal?


    This is of course illegal.


    But what about the other way around?


    ??You want to say that a thief steals other people''s things, gets into other people''s homes, finds drugs hidden in them, and then has a conscience and goes to the police station with the drugs to report that someone is selling drugs and hiding drugs, then that is none of my business, the police, right?


    After all, it wasn’t the police who stole it!


    ?Then since someone has reported the crime, doesn’t the police have reason to come and search the house?


    As for the thief, isn’t it just a crime?


    The investigator plays the role of "thief" here.


    This is also the reason why investigators must collect all the clues in every mission. After all, this is part of the legal evidence. As long as the evidence is sufficient, the investigators can get away with it whether they are sneaking in to pick locks or killing people and setting fires. It''s a waste of merit.


    ?But if there is insufficient evidence...well...then I''m sorry, I can only arrest you as a wanted criminal.


    This is another reason why investigators will not become members of government functional departments. As long as you are an "outsider", whatever you do or how you do it has nothing to do with the government. It is not instructed by the government, nor is it permitted by the government. , everything is done by yourself...


    Because of this, investigators are often just names. Because you have nothing to do with the government, of course you cannot get any special allowances, nor can the government pay you five insurances and one housing fund, and there is no establishment... Not only that, if something weird happens, the police will be the first to respond My idea is probably to deal with it with you.


    ?Well, it is most likely an operation that will send you into the tiger''s mouth.


    Of course, investigators are not just temporary workers used to take the blame. On the one hand, becoming an investigator gives you a green channel for PY transactions with the police. As long as the evidence is sufficient and the physical evidence is sufficient, it doesn’t matter whether you are sneaking in to pick the lock or killing someone. If you set a fire, you will most likely be released on bail pending trial and go home to sleep on the same day. On the other hand, after becoming an investigator, you will be sponsored by an organization called the "Foundation". After all, it is a non-governmental organization on the surface... Doesn''t this have nothing to do with the government?


    In fact, the day after Duanmuhuai returned home, a blank letter appeared in the mailbox, with only two pieces of paper inside.


    ?One of them is a card with Duanmuhuai’s name and a big “D” logo written on it.


    The other one has a website address written on it.


    Duanmu Huai turned on the computer silently, entered the URL, and then entered the foundation''s website.


    ?Well, from the surface, this seems to be just a simple charity foundation website, and most of the content inside is about charity assistance. Only when you enter your name and number to log in will the entire foundation show its truest side in front of you.


    but………


    “It’s of no use...”


    Looking at the list in front of him, Duanmu Huai couldn''t help but complain. This interface is a "welfare" for internal personnel of the foundation. Simply put, the points earned based on the evidence and exhibits brought back by the investigators after each settlement can be exchanged for corresponding items on this website.


    ?Of course, there are all kinds of things here, including houses, vehicles, weapons, vehicles and so on. It''s just that Duanmu Huai is still a D-class personnel, so his exchange list only contains some ordinary things.


    As for reality anchors, Kant counters, etc., there is no need to think about them at his level.


    They are D-class personnel after all.


    For Duanmu Huai, the most important thing at the moment is naturally weapons.


    For an average investigator, the basic standard weapon is a dagger, revolver, or knife. After all, these things are easy to carry and easy to use. But this is not the case for Duanmu Huai. Firearms are basically useless to him, his shooting skills are too poor, and with Duanmu Huai''s palm, ordinary guns are just like a child''s toy gun in his hand.


    As for weapons, you can choose them, but the problem is... whatever weapons Duanmu Huai uses when going out, aren''t they always very ostentatious?


    A big sword? Hammer? Can you carry this thing down the street? This is not a fantasy world...


    Fortunately, Duanmuhuai finally found a weapon.


    ?That’s the cane.


    In fact, there is a similar weapon in the game called a sword staff. To put it bluntly, it is a sword made in the shape of a cane. Normally it is just an ordinary gentleman''s walking stick, but as long as I hold the handle and pull it upward, I can pull out the sharp blade hidden inside.


    ?This thing is very popular in the game. Many players like to wear suits and leather shoes, and then use a cane and sword to show off.


    After all, this thing looks cool, and it can also be beaten, right?


    ?However, if Duanmu Huai wants to do it, he cannot use this ordinary cane sword. This thing is almost like a toothpick in his hand, and it is a joke to take it out.


    But...he can customize one himself!


    ??There is no need to put any sword blades or mechanisms inside, just let people use steel to forge a solid black steel cane. Wouldn''t this problem be solved?


    With Duanmu Huai''s height, a cane is basically more than 2 meters long. It weighs tens of hundreds of kilograms and cannot be lifted. The head of the cane is carved into the shape of an eagle''s beak. It is not only beautiful and beautiful, but also capable of lifting boxes and hitting people. , if a hundred kilograms were thrown at him, he wanted to see who could withstand this stick?


    A big shot drives a big car and uses a big stick to snipe. What''s wrong with this? !


    Oh, by the way, there is also a car...


    ?After returning home, Duanmuhuai asked the maid to send the heavy truck for modification. That MMP thing is simply a container for transporting lions and tigers. Where can people sit in it? At least it needs to be modified so that it can be seated, right? Even if you are a bit bigger, you can''t just throw an empty container to yourself. Why don''t you kid me?


    For the modification company, this job also surprised them, especially after meeting Duanmuhuai, they suddenly felt that this might be the most difficult job since they opened their business.


    ?However, for the sake of money, they still agreed to Duanmuhuai''s request and began to modify the heavy truck and container.


    ?Of course, this all takes time, and during this period, Duanmuhuai does not intend to be idle.


    ??The so-called coming is here, if you don’t come to him for trouble, he can look for trouble!


    ?So Duanmuhuai quickly set his sights on a pilgrimage place that players would visit after coming to this world.


    That is the treasure land that is in the same area as Arkham City and is well-known and popular among players.


    Innsmouth.
