Chapter 1380 The competition begins! (The crisp autumn air means comfort)


    After that, the girl with glasses also walked down from the bedroom on the second floor - of course, she is no longer the original her, or in other words, she is the original her, well... in short, in the final analysis, she is the one.


    ??The two detectives naturally knew nothing about this. They sent the very depressed girl with glasses home, and then drove to the mental hospital again.


    Along the way, the three of them also determined the situation through the intelligence exchanged with each other.


    “So far, it seems like that monster has the ability to control others?”


    Facing the idol detective’s inquiry, Duanmu Huai also shook his head in confusion.


    "The Shoggoths of the original body can directly metamorphose into anything, including humans. It does not need to wear human skin like this. Of course, maybe the Shoggoths here are different. The specific situation is still unknown. It’s hard to say.”


    “Damn it, doesn’t this monster have any weaknesses?”


    ?The food detective clenched his fist angrily and smashed it, while Duanmuhuai thought for a moment.


    “That’s not entirely true. Shoggoths are a little clumsy at imitating humans, and they will return to their original state once provoked or stimulated. Of course, these are just records, and you will only know how they work if you actually try them.”


    "In other words, that hospital transplanted this monster called Shoggoth into the patient''s body, and the Shoggoth controlled these patients and made them look like they had completely recovered. So after these patients were discharged, they would go to Find other targets to launch attacks and increase your companions this way?”


    ?As he spoke, the idol detective shuddered.


    “Why does it feel like the plot of a third-rate European and American horror movie?”


    “This kind of plot is third-rate only if it appears in a movie. In reality, you will feel better.”


    Duanmu Huai complained while sending text messages on his mobile phone.


    “So, this monster called a shoggoth is the culprit of all this?”


    “No, the Shoggoths are only manipulated by the mastermind behind the scenes, I’m sure of it.”


    "Why?"


    Hearing Duanmuhuai''s answer, the two detectives were quite surprised.


    "Why?"


    "Because the intelligence of the Shoggoths themselves is limited, and they actually have no goal in doing what they do. But the problem is that these **** are responsive to requests. Anyone who has the means to find and control them can summon and manipulate these things through various means. Do things for yourself.”


    Speaking of this, Duanmu Huai shook his head helplessly.


    “This can’t be the home of Shoggoth, so it must have been summoned or awakened by something. The guy hiding behind is our target.”


    “It’s actually like this...”


    ?Hearing Duanmuhuai''s answer, the two detectives fell silent for a while, while Duanmuhuai continued to send text messages. The target he sent was none other than the shadow of his previous transformation.


    ? Duanmu Huai gave her a very simple order, that is, find the students in the school who are controlled by Shoggoths, kill them all, and then replace them with shadows!


    In fact, Duanmuhuai’s shadow also has the ability to change. He can split countless shadows, and then let these shadows scan other people, and then change into the appearance of the other person. Of course, if the other party is alive, then these shadows can only exist for a maximum of seven days, and they will turn into mud after seven days. And if the shadow kills the person who is the prototype, then the shadow can exist forever instead of that person.


    ?This is the case with the girl with glasses. When the shadow kills the girl with glasses, she has already become the girl with glasses herself.


    ??Furthermore, although they look no different from ordinary people, shadows are actually very powerful. They can move at will through shadows, and their speed and reaction capabilities are far beyond ordinary people. Not only that, the shadow''s body, as the name suggests, is actually the shadow under their feet.


    ?Taking the girl with glasses as an example, if a policeman shoots at the girl with glasses, the bullet will only pass through her body and will not cause any harm to her. In turn, only the shadow hitting the bespectacled girl''s feet will really hurt her. Because that is the true body, and the person that humans see is actually the shadow.


    Because of this, Duanmuhuai is not worried at all about whether his shadow can beat the Shoggoth. Everyone is indifferent. If the Shoggoth cannot find the weakness of the shadow, and the shadow can hide in the shadow, it will kill with one strike. , it can almost be said to be a sure kill.


    ??Well, the only problem is that the Shoggoth''s health bar is relatively long, making it difficult to kill.


    ?Precisely because of the terrifying qualities of shadow, Duanmu Huai has never used it much. But the situation is different now. Considering that the Shoggoths have begun to multiply and divide in this city, Duanmuhuai has no choice but to fight fire with fire. Use the shadow to scan the person controlled by the Shoggoth, then generate a clone to kill the main body, and then replace the main body to find other targets.


    Of course, if the situation gets out of control, then Duanmuhuai wouldn''t mind a competition to see whether the shadows will replace all the humans in the city first, or the Shoggoths will infect all the humans in the city first.


    ?Maybe it will end up being a shadow man versus a shoggoth... What kind of monster movie is this?


    In short, let’s experiment first, starting from school.


    "arrive."


    Just as Duanmuhuai gave the order to the girl with glasses on his mobile phone, the car also stopped. Everyone turned to look and saw that under the dark night, the entire mental hospital was dark, with only the dim light at the gate. .


    “What to do next?”


    ?Looking at the dark mental hospital in front of him, the idol detective clenched the steering wheel uneasily.


    "Should we sneak in? Frankly, I don''t think it''s a good idea. If this is the monster''s base camp, who knows how many more..."


    “No need to infiltrate.”


    Duanmuhuai opened the car door, strode out, and straightened his clothes.


    “Let’s go straight in!”


    "Why?!"


    ??Hearing Duanmu Huai''s words, both the food detective and the idol detective were surprised.


    “Wait a minute, we don’t have a search warrant!”


    “In this way, even if we find any evidence, the judge will not use it!”


    "evidence?"


    Duanmu Huai turned his head to look at the two of them in confusion.


    “Are you going to put a shoggoth in the courtroom for everyone to see?”


    "Well………"


    Hearing Duanmu Huai''s question, the two of them were speechless and didn''t know what to say for a while.


    “Then what are you...”


    “We fight in, find the core, destroy it, and leave!”


    “Is it really okay? What if the other party calls the police?”


    “Don’t worry.”


    Duanmu Huai raised his phone and waved it at the two of them.


    “I’m ready, are you coming?”


    …………”


    ??Hearing Duanmu Huai''s words, the two looked at each other, and then the food detective moved his fat body and got out of the car, taking out a revolver at the same time.


    "I am also a detective. Now that I have encountered something like this, I can''t just sit idly by." "Haha..."


    The idol detective sighed silently and got out of the car.


    “I am a pure idol, and violence is prohibited.”


    While complaining in a low voice, Duanmu Huai saw her reach out her hand and pull out a leather whip from her waist.


    Pure?


    “If there were a camera here, I would never use it.”


    ? Sensing Duanmu Huai looking at him, the idol detective opened his mouth to explain, while the gourmet detective laughed.


    “Of course, given your age, wearing a sailor uniform and carrying a whip is too much.”


    “Please don’t bring up this topic again!”


    ?Speaking of which, how old is this iconic detective? At least on the surface, she seems to be about a high school student. Of course, it is not ruled out that some people are born with tender faces. Plus, she wears a sailor suit... Forget it, this has nothing to do with me, right?


    “Take this.”


    Duanmu Huai reached out, took out two holy emblems from his arms and threw them to the two of them.


    “What is this? It feels so tasteless.”


    “This thing can protect you from shoggoth attacks.”


    ?Duanmuhuai ignored the idol detective’s complaints and spoke directly.


    "Of course, this is not invincible, it just prevents the Shoggoths from trying to get into your body and control you. So you have to be careful. If you lose it, you will be the unlucky one."


    ?Hearing Duanmu Huai''s words, the two of them looked solemn, and then carefully put the Holy Emblem around their necks - they had all seen how the Shoggoths manipulated others, and naturally they did not want to suffer the same fate.


    “Okay, let’s take action.”


    ?Seeing the two of them put on their badges, Duanmu Huai also turned his head, and then started to contact Ziyuan Temple Youzi.


    "How about it?"


    “The nearby base station has been secured and the signal has been locked. From now on, any external communication will be cut off except for the line between me and you.”


    “Okay, let’s take action!”


    "Wait a minute...let me take a look at the system in this place, um...done."


    As Ziyuanji Youzi finished speaking, Duanmuhuai saw the indicator light of the surveillance camera at the entrance of the mental hospital suddenly flash from green to red. Immediately afterwards, the originally closed door slowly opened, opening the way to the three people.


    “As expected of NEET Detective Alice.”


    ?Gourmet Detective and Idol Detective also heard from Duanmu Huai that Ziyuanji Youzi would also participate in this operation, and seeing this scene now, they were quite emotional. After all, in the detective circle, everyone has at least heard of her name. Shionji Yuko is also a relatively well-known detective, so the two of them naturally know about her.


    ??This is just the first time I have truly seen the abilities of this NEET detective.


    "There are two security guards patrolling the first floor, the second floor is the ward, and only two nurses are on duty. The basement is a black box, which cannot be invaded. It should be physically isolated. However, it can be seen from the circuit system that the power consumed in the basement occupies the entire Two-thirds of the hospital, you''re pretty sure if there''s something, it''s underground!"


    “Is there any emergency exit?”


    “There is a line on the design drawing, but you will only know the specific situation when you go there.”


    “Very good, I understand.”


    While talking, the three of them had already passed through the gate and walked through the square in front of the hospital. Then Duanmuhuai opened the door unceremoniously and strode in.


    “Squeak!”


    ??The harsh sound made when the door opened was naturally extremely loud in the corridor late at night, but Duanmuhuai didn''t care and strolled in as if he were returning to his own home. At this moment, a flashlight light emerged from the side of the corridor, and then two security guards ran over with flashlights in hand. Seeing Duanmu Huai and others, he was also stunned.


    “Wait, who are you and why...”


    However, before the security guard finished speaking, Duanmu Huai reached out and grabbed the security guard who was close to him, then swung it forward and hit the security guard like a hammer on the colleague behind him, and then the two of them He flew out like this and hit the wall hard.


    For ordinary people, this would be enough to make them lose consciousness immediately. However, the moment the two security guards hit the wall, they suddenly let out a scream. At the same time, their bodies exploded instantly and turned into two sticky and strange monsters. They opened their mouths and rushed toward Duanmu Huai. !


    “Die to me!”


    A mere Shoggoth was no problem for Duanmu Huai. He clenched his fists and punched forward, smashing the tentacles coming towards him with one punch, and then stepped forward and trampled them down. He directly trampled the two Shoggoths into pieces.


    “Hiss——!”


    But it was not over yet. At this moment, two nurses with slender arms and legs, like spiders, suddenly jumped down from the ceiling and pounced on the detective duo at the back.


    “Wow!”


    ??Seeing these two weird nurses, the food detective was also startled, and he hurriedly raised the gun in his hand and pulled the trigger. The idol detective gave a sweet shout and swung the whip forward with a cracking sound.


    “Bang!”


    With the sound of gunshots, one of the nurses'' head tilted back as if he had been punched hard, and then fell to the ground. Another nurse was entangled in the whip and smashed to the ground, but soon the two got up again and stared angrily at the prey in front of them.


    At this moment, the faces of the two nurses were completely distorted, with tentacles extending from their facial features, and their ugly mouths full of sharp teeth emitted heart-stopping screams.


    “Tekeli-li!”


    “Isn’t it?!”


    Seeing the horrifying appearance of the nurse in front of them, the expressions of the two detectives changed drastically. However, just when the nurse was about to pounce forward again, a pair of big hands suddenly stretched out from behind them and grabbed their heads as hard as touching eggs. Crash together. Then I saw the heads of the two nurses explode in an instant, and they were mixed together regardless of each other. Then their bodies began to break, turning into turbid fragments and disappearing into the shadows.


    display


    Until then, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief.


    “This monster is really tough.”


    “I’ve hit my head, but I still don’t die like this? Does it have to be holy water or something to be effective?”


    “You’d better be talking about serious holy water.”


    “You are an idol, is it appropriate to say such a thing?”


    After all, the detective is a detective and has seen a lot. The two of them joked and finally calmed down. Although their faces were still pale, they seemed to be able to hold on... Well, professional ones are different.


    “Where do we go next?”


    "Um………"


    Duanmu Huai thought for a while.


    “Let’s go see the conditions of those patients first.”
