Chapter 496 Invitation


    After making the decision, Anthony immediately ordered his men to drive to Newburyport.


    On the way, Anthony also took the time to read the information about this investigator.


    ? To Anthony’s surprise, this is not the first time the other party has encountered a U-level incident!


    According to the records in the file, he was originally a citizen of Arkham, was somewhat well-known in the local area, graduated from college, and had no criminal record. Not long ago, he was invited by a distant relative to attend a private art exhibition held by the other party. Then he encountered a U-level incident and successfully resolved it.


    It was because of this incident that the police recorded him in the investigator file.


    However, the record at the end of the file caught Anthony''s attention.


    ??It is recorded above that the opponent''s fighting power is superior. Not only did he kill the ghouls and the cultists who controlled them, but he even successfully rescued the victims...


    In the U-level case...killed the monster? !


    I have to say that Anthony''s eyes widened when he saw this.


    It''s hard for Anthony to say about other monsters, but he has seen ghouls. In the past ten years, Anthony has participated in several U-level cases, and he is also "lucky" to have dealt with monsters like ghouls. Had a face-to-face encounter. He remembered clearly that monsters like ghouls were not only terrifying in appearance, but also extremely resistant to fighting. Their skin is like car tires, and the police''s ordinary pistols have no reaction at all. Moreover, these ghouls are not slow and have great strength...


    ?How was this investigator killed?


    And looking at the records, this is not just one person, but a group of them!


    Not only that, according to the last statement in the file, the investigator made the call to the police after killing the monsters and cultists and rescuing the victims. In other words, the police used to simply help him deal with the aftermath!


    Hey guys, is this okay?


    Seeing this, Anthony was shocked.


    He has been working in this field for ten years and has seen many files. In Anthony''s memory, basically in such cases, most investigators choose to escape first and then call the police. In fact, some people who were cornered and jumped over the wall also fought back and escaped.


    ?Of course, from the perspective of the parties involved, Anthony can also understand the mood of these investigators. Facing that kind of monster, you are lucky if you can escape, and even more lucky if you can successfully fight back.


    However, this will naturally make it more difficult for the police, because these cultists are all rats, and they will run faster than anyone else when there is any disturbance. In the past ten years, Anthony has encountered hundreds of similar case files. Although there are only a handful of people who can actually be caught and brought to justice...


    ?Hmm, you can really count them on one finger.


    ??The rest is basically to wait for the police to arrive, and the other party will have already disappeared without a trace.


    ?This is normal. After all, investigators are not soldiers. There is no need to rush into mountains of swords and seas of fire upon giving orders. When something happens, even if they investigate, they will not choose to confront the other party head-on. After all, they only have one life, how can they survive it?


    So it’s really rare to see something like this where both people get the stolen goods.


    ?After reading the files, Anthony naturally became more and more curious about Duanmu Huai and wanted to see what this investigator was capable of. As for why Duanmu Huai went to Innsmouth, he thought it was understandable. People have encountered that kind of thing before, and it is not unreasonable to feel that they are not happy to go to the beach to get some fresh air and relax.


    ??As a result, we met again at the beach... Well, I can only say that this investigator is really unlucky.


    ?While thinking, Anthony also came to the Newburyport Police Station, revealed his identity to someone, and expressed that he wanted to talk to the investigator, so the other party took him to...


    “What’s going on?”


    Looking at the warehouse in front of him, Anthony was stunned.


    ?According to his experience, even if ordinary investigators are locked up for investigation, most of them are detained, or even a little worse, they are locked up in a single room.


    But what the **** is this warehouse? ? ?


    “Haha, we...can’t let it go.”


    ?Hearing Anthony’s complaints, the local police officer also laughed and replied. After hearing his answer, Anthony looked at him speechlessly.


    ??Is Newburyport such a cool place? Are the prisons full? There is no place to put people, so they can only be crammed into the warehouse?


    ??Is there still such an operation?


    “Open the door.”


    ??Anthony didn''t bother to talk to him and directly motioned for the other person to open the door. The police officer also hurriedly stepped forward and opened the door, and then Anthony walked in.


    Generally speaking, people are not allowed to be released into the warehouse of the police station. After all, there are too many things in the warehouse of the police station. But fortunately, this warehouse is an old warehouse, and there is nothing in it. It''s just that the lights are a little dim. Anthony walked into the warehouse and saw that the entire warehouse was empty except for a few empty shelves placed against the wall.


    “Mr. Duanmuhuai?”


    Anthony coughed and shouted.


    “I am Sergeant Anthony Polk from the Federal Police, responsible for the investigation of the Innsmouth case. Can you please talk to me?”


    As he spoke, Anthony walked into the warehouse and looked cautiously to both sides. Having done this kind of thing a lot, Anthony has gained experience. Even if an ordinary investigator escapes death, he will definitely be mentally traumatized. Either he will have nightmares or he will not be able to come out of the corner. There are even those who talk nonsense and even drink and take drugs...


    Hence why he didn''t speak loudly, and even more cautiously, for fear of irritating the other person.


    ?At the same time, Anthony was also muttering to himself that the people in this police station were all working for nothing, locking people up in such a big warehouse. If he wanted to play hide-and-seek with him, where would he find him?


    However, as he walked...Anthony suddenly found that his eyesight went dark.


    Um? Is this light out?


    No?


    Anthony looked to the left and right in confusion, but at this moment, a voice sounded from above his head.


    “Are you looking for me?”


    “Yes, I am………”


    ?Hearing the other party''s answer, Anthony nodded, and then he subconsciously raised his head and looked up, and then...


    ————!!”


    When Anthony looked at that face, he was so frightened that he almost jumped up from where he was. Almost instinctively, he rolled directly on the spot, distanced himself from the opponent, then reached out and took out his gun and aimed it in one go, fully Showing his skills as a federal agent!


    “No, don’t move, or I’ll shoot!”


    …………”


    Duanmuhuai held his arms in his arms and looked at Anthony speechlessly. The latter was also stunned for a moment before he reacted. "Are you...Mr. Duanmuhuai?"


    “That’s right, it’s me.”


    Duanmuhuai took out the investigator qualification certificate from his pocket and handed it over. Anthony held the gun in one hand, took it and opened it with the other, then compared it... and then he breathed a sigh of relief.


    “Sorry, I’m sorry, I was rude.”


    As he spoke, Anthony put the gun back and cursed in his heart that those who wrote the files didn''t grasp the point. They didn''t include such obvious features of such a big person here. They were just looking at my jokes, right?


    but………


    “Mr. Duanmuhuai, may I ask what this is...”


    After all, Anthony was considered a special commissioner. He was just unprepared at first. Now that he had come to his senses, he looked at Duanmuhuai in confusion, wondering if this was some kind of sequelae - after all, many investigators were also coming into contact with those who were unreasonable. After being exposed to evil, the body mutated or something...


    “Oh, born.”


    …………”


    ?Hearing Duanmuhuai''s answer, Anthony was completely silent. He stared at the opponent''s body full of muscles and explosive power, as well as the huge fists, and the original doubts in his heart completely disappeared.


    ??Before, Anthony was wondering how Duanmuhuai could kill the ghoul, but now when they met - good guy, he has never seen a fist as big as a casserole in so many years. It would be strange if he couldn''t defeat a ghoul.


    ??No wonder it’s so fierce...


    ?Before seeing Duanmuhuai, Anthony was thinking about the scene of an ordinary investigator working hard through wind and rain.


    After seeing Duanmuhuai, Anthony immediately imagined Rambo and the Devil Muscular Man...


    ?Although the ghoul is powerful, it is only about the same size as a human being. An ordinary person is like a puppy in front of this person... He is afraid of a ghost!


    Looking at Duanmu Huai, Anthony could even picture a few ghouls jumping on him, and then being beaten to a pulp by three punches and two kicks...


    Why? Why does it feel so good?


    Even the discomfort and fear caused by just thinking of these monsters are gone now?


    ??If Duanmuhuai knew what Anthony was thinking, he would definitely tell him that all fear comes from insufficient firepower.


    As long as your firepower is strong enough, no problem will be a problem.


    In fact, most people in this world’s fear of foreign gods comes from two points.


    One is insight and the other is firepower.


    ?For example, many times, scientists see indescribable existences that subvert their understanding, and each one of them collapses and goes crazy.


    To put it bluntly, this is because their knowledge is not broad enough.


    In the Star Alliance, there are so many races in the universe, and there are even many alien races whose biological structure is the opposite of that of humans. Even the food cannot be eaten the same. If something like the Ghoul Deep Diver was placed in the Star Alliance, people would probably just ignore it as a mutant creature.


    As for Cthulhu, the Star Alliance doesn''t care. If they dare to take the lead, they will send battleships to beat them. Cthulhu, who can definitely fight, can''t take care of himself.


    After all, Cthulhu is ultimately an alien psychic creature, not to mention that it is weak...


    In fact, according to the standards of the Inquisition, most of the monsters in this world are either subspace creatures or psychic creatures, so they can mentally pollute humans. This is one of the reasons why people in this world appear so fragile. one.


    After all, this world is full of ordinary people, and few people have psychic powers. It''s no wonder that these psychic creatures thrive here like a fish in water, fooling a group of people into worshiping them as gods.


    This is just like a person with superpowers going to a world without superpowers. Things are rare and valuable...


    ??But Duanmuhuai will definitely not spoil these bastards.


    ?Of course, he was shocked. Anthony followed the procedure and went over the case with Duanmu Huai. Duanmu Huai was very familiar with this, but he was able to mess with Anthony. When other investigators talked about this, they were either very nervous or trembling with fear. On the contrary, Duanmu Huai talked about it in a straightforward manner, explaining the whole process simply and clearly.


    ??How did he know that players have always done this in the game? It has become a natural habit long ago.


    To be honest, Anthony still had some doubts about Duanmu Huai''s story, but looking at the figure that made people feel safe, he finally swallowed his doubts.


    After all, Anthony could not imagine such a burly and majestic man trembling.


    So after signing and confirming, Duanmuhuai can go home.


    ?However, just when Duanmuhuai was about to go home and have a comfortable sleep, he saw Chief Anthony, who had left, turned around and came back.


    "Hello, Mr. Duanmuhuai, I have something to ask you for help."


    "I?"


    ?Hearing Anthony''s words, Duanmu Huai raised his eyebrows.


    "Yes, in fact, in a case we just received, the other party claimed that his friend was missing... According to his description, we suspect that this is a U-level case, so... Mr. Duanmuhuai, as an investigator, would you like to talk to Let’s go investigate together?”


    Looking at Duanmuhuai, Anthony made an invitation.
