Chapter 496 Invitation
After making the decision, Anthony immediately ordered his subordinates to drive to Newburyport.
And on the way, Anthony also took the time to look at the information about the investigator.
What unexpectedly happened to Anthony is that this is not the first time the other party has encountered a U-level incident!
According to the records in the archives, he was originally a citizen of Arkham and was well-known in the local area. He graduated from university and had no criminal record. Not long ago, at the invitation of his relatives from afar, he went to attend a private art exhibition held by him, and then encountered a U-level incident and successfully resolved it.
It was because of this incident that the police recorded him in the investigator''s file.
However, the last record in the archive attracted Anthony''s attention.
The above records that the opponent''s combat effectiveness was excellent. Not only did he kill ghouls and cultists who manipulate them, he even successfully rescued the victims...
In a U-level case...the monster was killed? !
I have to say that when Anthony saw this, his eyes were straightened.
Anthony is hard to say about other monsters, but he has seen ghouls. Over the past decade, Anthony has participated in several U-level cases, and he is also "lucky" to meet monsters like ghouls. He remembered very clearly that monsters like ghouls not only look terrifying, but also resist the attack. Their skin is like car tires. The policeman''s ordinary pistols were not responding at all. Moreover, these ghouls were not slow and had a lot of strength...
How did this investigator kill?
And looking at the records, this is not one, but a group!
Not only that, according to the last statement of the archives, the investigator called the police after killing the monsters and cults and rescued the victims. In other words, the police used to simply help him deal with the aftermath!
Good guy, this is OK?
Seeing this, Anthony was shocked.
He has been in this industry for ten years, and there are quite a few files he has seen. In Anthony''s memory, in basically this kind of case, most investigators choose to escape first and then call the police to deal with it. Some people who were blocked in the corner of the wall also rushed to resist and escaped.
Of course, from the standpoint of the parties involved, Anthony was able to understand the feelings of these investigators. Facing that kind of monster, even if you can escape, you are lucky, and if you can successfully kill someone, you will be even more lucky.
But in this way, the police will naturally be more difficult, because these cultists are rats, and they run faster than anyone else when there is any turmoil. In the past decade, Anthony has encountered hundreds of similar cases, but there are only a handful of them who can be arrested and brought to justice.
Well, it''s really the kind that can be counted by a finger.
The rest is basically when the police arrived, the other party had already run away without a trace.
This is also normal. After all, the investigator is not a soldier, so there is no need to rush into the sea of ??swords and fires with an order. Even if they investigate, they will not choose to fight against each other head-on. After all, they only have one life, how can they survive?
So it is really rare to see that people and stolen things are both captured...
After reading the archives, Anthony was naturally becoming more and more curious about Duanmu Huai, wanting to see what this investigator has. As for why Duanmuhuai went to Insmouth, he thought it was understandable. I encountered that kind of thing before, and I felt unhappy to go to the beach for a breath and relax. It was not unreasonable.
As a result, I met again at the beach... Alas, I can only say that this investigator is really unlucky.
While thinking, Anthony also came to Newburyport Police Station and found someone to reveal his identity, saying that he wanted to talk to the investigator, so the other party brought him to...
"What''s going on?"
Looking at the warehouse in front of him, Anthony was stunned.
According to his experience, most investigators are detained even if they are locked up for investigation. If they are slightly worse, they will be 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 laughed and replied. And when he heard his answer, Anthony also looked at him speechlessly.
Is Newburyport so awesome? The prison is full? If you have no place to put people in the warehouse?
There is also such an operation?
“Open the door.”
Anthony was too lazy to talk to him, so he signaled the other party to open the door, and the police officer hurriedly stepped forward and opened the door, and then Anthony walked in.
Generally speaking, the police station’s warehouse is not allowed to be released, after all, there are too many things in the police station’s warehouse. Fortunately, this warehouse is an old warehouse and there is nothing inside, but the lights are a little dimmed. Anthony walked into the warehouse and saw that the entire warehouse was empty and there were only a few empty shelves placed beside the wall.
“Mr. Duanmu Huai?”
Anthony coughed and started shouting.
"I am Sheriff Anthony Poker of the Federal Police Department, responsible for the investigation of the Innsmouth case. Can you please talk to me?"
As he spoke, Anthony walked into the warehouse and looked carefully at both sides. Anthony has also gained experience in doing this kind of thing. Even if an ordinary investigator survives death, he will definitely suffer mental damage, either nightmares or will not come out of his corner. There are even nonsense and even alcoholic drugs...
So he didn''t speak loudly, and he was even more careful, for fear of irritating the other party.
At the same time, Anthony also muttered to himself that the people in the police station are all eating and locking people in such a large warehouse. If he wants to play hide-and-seek with him, where can he find him?
However, as he walked... Anthony suddenly noticed that it was dark in front of him.
Um? Is this light going out?
No?
Anthony looked at the left and right sides 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 at the top, and then...
“———!!”
When Anthony looked at the face, he was so scared that he almost jumped up from the spot. He was almost instinctive. He rolled on the spot, distanced himself from the other party, and then reached out to draw his gun and aimed it in one go, fully demonstrating his skills as a federal agent!
"No, don''t move, or I''ll shoot!"
“…………”
Duanmu Huai hugged his arms with both hands and looked at Anthony in front of him speechlessly. The latter was stunned for a moment before he reacted. "You are... Mr. Duanmu Huai?"
“That’s right, it’s me.”
Duanmuhuai took out the investigator qualification certificate from his pocket and handed it over. Anthony held a gun in one hand, took it and opened it in the other, and then compared it for a while... Then he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Sorry, sorry, I''m rude."
As she spoke, Anthony took back the gun and scolded in her heart that those who wrote the archives did not grasp the key points. Such a big man did not write such obvious characteristics here. He was just a joke to me!
but………
"Mr. Duanmuhuai, may I ask you this..."
Anthony was considered a special commissioner at the end. At the beginning, he was just unprepared. Now that he came to his senses, he also looked at Duanmu Huai in confusion, wondering if this was a sequelae. After all, many investigators were also mutating their bodies after they were exposed to those indescribable evils...
“Oh, born.”
“………………”
Hearing Duanmuhuai''s answer, Anthony was completely silent. He stared at the other party''s muscles and explosive body, as well as his huge fists, and his original questions disappeared completely.
Anthony was wondering how Duanmuhuai killed the ghoul. Now when we meet, we are a good guy, the big fist of a casserole. I haven''t seen it for so many years. It would be strange if I can''t beat the ghoul.
No wonder it is so fierce...
Before seeing Duanmuhuai, Anthony thought about an ordinary investigator who fought to the death in the wind and rain.
After seeing Duanmu Huai, Anthony directly imagined Rambo and the Devil Muscle Man...
Although the ghoul is powerful, it is just about the same size as a human, and an ordinary person is like a puppy in front of this person... He is afraid of a ghost!
Looking at Duanmu Huai, Anthony was able to even make up a few ghouls and pounce on him, and then the opponent beat him into a tragic situation of meat sauce with three punches and two kicks...
Why? Why do you feel so refreshed?
Even if you just think of the discomfort and fear caused by these monsters on weekdays, you will disappear now?
If Duanmu Huai knew Anthony’s thoughts, then he would definitely tell the other party that all fears came from insufficient firepower.
As long as you have strong firepower, no problem is a problem.
In fact, most of the fears of people in this world towards external gods come from two points.
One is knowledge and the other is firepower.
For example, many times, those scientists see that the indescribable existence subvert their cognition and all of them collapse and go crazy.
To put it bluntly, this is because their experience is not extensive enough.
If it were Star Alliance, there were more races in the universe, and there were even many alien races with the biological structures of humans. They could not even eat food. Things like the Ghoul Diver are placed in Star Alliance, and they probably ignore them directly as mutant creatures.
As for Cthulhu and other things, Star Alliance doesn''t care. If you dare to show up, you will send warships to fight. Cthulhu will definitely be unable to take care of himself.
After all, Cthulhu is ultimately an alien psychic creature, let alone a weak ship...
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 pollute humans mentally, which is one of the reasons why people in this world seem so fragile.
After all, this world is full of ordinary people, and few people have spiritual power. No wonder these psychic creatures are mingling here, and they are fooling a group of people to treat them as gods.
This is just like a superpower who goes to a world without superpowers. Scarcity is precious...
But Duanmu Huai will definitely not spoil these bastards.
Of course, no matter how shocked he was, Anthony followed the process and went through the case with Duanmu Huai. Duanmu Huai is familiar with this, but he can''t mess with Anthony. When other investigators talk about this, they are either very nervous or trembling. On the contrary, Duanmuhuai said it straightforwardly, and he finished the whole process with a simple and clear statement.
He didn''t know that players always do this in the game, and they have long been used to it.
To be honest, Anthony still had some questions about Duanmu Huai’s narration, but looking at the figure that made people feel safe in front of him, his little doubt finally ended up swallowing his stomach.
After all, Anthony could not imagine such a burly and majestic man trembling.
So I signed and confirmed, and then Duanmu Huai can go home.
However, just when Duanmuhuai was about to go home and have a comfortable sleep, she saw Sheriff Anthony who had originally left turned around and came back.
"Hello, Mr. Duanmuhuai, I have something I want to ask you for help."
"I?"
Hearing Anthony''s words, Duanmu Huai raised his eyebrows.
"That''s right, in fact, in a case we just received, the other party claimed that his friend was missing... According to his description, we suspected that this was a U-level case, so... Mr. Duanmu Huai, as an investigator, should he go to investigate with us?"
Looking at Duanmu Huai, Anthony made an invitation.
