Chapter 504 Mysterious Investigation Office


    How to say it, although I had expected this result, Duanmu Huai was speechless when he saw the "reward" of the system in front of him.


    Although he had fear spiritual light in the past, the problem is that fear spiritual light still has one condition, that is, as long as it is "identified", you can be immune.


    Now, it’s better, just seeing it will reduce your rationality.


    System What do you mean? What if our face is so useless?


    I think my face looks pretty good too.


    I''m so anxious that I''ll find a helper of Green Skin, brainwash them every day to think about my face, but maybe how many charms can I add.


    perhaps?


    After dealing with the trouble at Sentinel Ridge, Duanmuhuai returned to Arkham and met Sheriff Anthony, which completely ended the matter.


    Sheriff Anthony also told Duanmuhuai that on the night he went to Sentinel Ridge, the painting "Empty Ghost" suddenly passed away. According to forensic identification, she was caused by excessive panic.


    Duanmu Huai has no good expression for Christine''s death. It would be fine if she was trying to die, but she couldn''t get rid of the blame for cheating a bunch of people. Although it was not intentional, her paintings were hung in the museum for five years and more than a dozen people died. They always had to be punished.


    As for those who were hunted by empty ghosts in museums... Well, they must not be able to live without death or death, and they can only close the case as "missing".


    Yes, the case is closed.


    Although I am very sorry for the relatives of the victims, this is the only way.


    It is impossible to find the body in a different space.


    It is even more impossible to tell them that "your family was caught by the empty ghost and eaten in a different space" is so outrageous...


    So what else can be done...it''s all.


    In this way, the matter came to an end.


    But... Duanmu Huai obviously did not plan to end here.


    Now he has another task, which is to use his own strength to protect the humans in this world.


    Of course, this is not an ordinary thing, but do you want to say whether it can be done? Of course, that is not completely impossible. Although there are no players in this world, there are still many investigators who are trying to die!


    The problem is how to make these investigators feel their power!


    Duanmu Huai certainly has no choice but to do this. Just as many artists and literati will be pulled to Lalaye in their sleep, as the **** of destruction, he can also use his dreams to pull those investigators who are targeted by evil gods or are investigating an incident into their dreams and give them guidance.


    Of course, just giving guidance is equivalent to verbal cheering, and it is not very useful. Since we are going to deal with evil gods and pagans, we must be needed weapons and ammunition.


    That’s right, cultists can use any token or evil book to cause trouble, so why do investigators have to send it to them with bare hands!


    When the police arrested the criminal, they didn''t say they didn''t bring weapons!


    So, after discussing with Lorena, Duanmuhuai made a decision.


    First, he sold the manor that the system gave him, and then bought a three-story office building in Arkham City. The second floor was converted into a detective office by Duanmuhuai, the third floor was the apartment residence, and the first floor was the antique shop.


    That’s right, antique shop!


    Of course, this antique shop is just a cover. All the so-called "antiques" placed inside are actually holy relics from Duanmuhuai!


    Let’s take a look, the store opened by the God of Destruction himself, can that cheat you? All the sellers are real!


    In addition, the antique shop also has another function, which is to recycle those creatures full of curses or evil spirits, which is also the idea that Duanmu Huai came up with. After all, you can find this thing yourself, and you don’t know when you want to find it. It’s better for someone to take the initiative to send it to you... Any normal person who gets those items with evil curses will definitely not want to stay. As long as they send it to the antique shop, Duanmuhuai can directly destroy it.


    Duanmu Huai’s current plan is this. First, he will advertise through newspapers across the country and even around the world, telling them that there is such a detective agency in Arkham City that specializes in investigating various strange events. At the same time, we will also inform that there is a store here that purchases strange items, so as to make your reputation as much as possible.


    On the other hand, when he goes to bed at night, he will also search for investigators who are currently in trouble through his dreams, guide them to the antique shop in Arkham City. As long as they come, they will be able to obtain the magical artifact that the God of Destruction personally consecrates and blessings from the antique shop. Not to mention anything else, it is absolutely nothing to say if you use this thing to deal with ordinary evil gods and cultists.


    Of course, although these things are good, they are all consumables... Well, this is normal. After all, the God of Destruction is not a charity, so you can''t take money... Besides, if you dare to give away things that don''t have money, I won''t dare to take them.


    After opening business, Duanmuhuai was in charge of the detective office, while Lorena was in charge of the antique shop. Although Lorena, as a missionary pastor, does not understand antiques. But she was very sensitive to what object had an evil aura.


    Of course, in order to take care of Lorena, Duanmuhuai also specially opened a training area in an antique store.


    In other words, if a customer comes to the door, perhaps the first thing they see is not a clerk who is smiling and receiving customers behind the counter, but a girl who is sweating heavily in the exercise area and waving her fists at the sandbag...


    Uh, it''s the same anyway, let her go.


    As for Duanmu Huai...


    “It feels so comfortable…”


    Sitting on the chair and feeling the afternoon sun, Duanmu Huai yawned leisurely. Although he is quite rich, the decoration of the detective firm in front of him is very ordinary. Bookshelf stuffed with books were placed on both sides of the wall, blinds were pulled in front of the window, and a black old-fashioned phone was placed on the desk.


    Put a chair opposite, and next to it is a genuine leather sofa for sleeping.


    Plus the radio placed on the cabinet next to it and the phonograph placed next to the bookshelves on the other side, it looks like a detective office in the 1950s and 1960s. Well, this is what I want!


    On a lazy afternoon, the detective leaned on the chair and took a nap while drinking ice-filled agave. The music played on the radio echoes in this warm and comfortable office in the afternoon sun. Then with the sound of knocking on the door, the client arrived, and a story in the shadow of darkness unfolded...


    Isn’t this what you want?


    Of course, not to mention the other things Duanmuhuai, the detective firm, all furniture is customized, at least much larger than normal ones. Otherwise, it would be no different from entering the villain country. Not to mention enjoying it, it would be considered as not being squeezed to death.


    but………


    “So idle…”


    Duanmuhuai reached out and touched the black cat lying on him, while the rabbit next to him fell asleep directly in the nest. It has been almost half a month since the detective office opened and now, but I have not received any business. I have spent so much money on advertising and even wish I could spread the advertisements in every corner of the world. Why didn’t half of the person come here?


    Is the urban security in Arkham so good at the moment?


    Or is it that my time is not right?


    Sheriff Anthony seems to be very peaceful recently, at least there is no case that needs to be dispatched by himself at present.


    I am really bored. Could it be that I really want to go to Miskatonick University to be a **** model to pass the time?


    It seems to be OK?


    After all, it seems a bit of a loss if you train your own 18-pack abdominal muscles and don’t take them out for everyone to appreciate them, right? It just so happens that everyone can see their own charm. Ordinary ordinary people don’t understand it, but these art students who can even be fascinated by heretics and evil gods should be able to understand their own charm!


    ...It seems something is wrong?


    Forget it, I don’t want so much.


    No matter what, it is always good to be able to have a good relationship with professors from Mid-United University.


    Thinking of this, Duanmu Huai immediately put the kitten aside and stood up.


    "Let''s go and be a model in Mida!"


    "Meow???"


    Compared to the manors in the suburbs before, Duanmuhuai''s detective office in Arkham City is obviously more suitable to walk around. At least he doesn''t have to drive when he goes out, but can take a walk as he pleases. Of course, at the beginning, everyone was so scared that they turned around and ran away when they saw him, and even called the police. However, humans are a highly adaptable creature after all. Duanmu Huai has been here for more than half a month. It is hard to say, but at least nearby businesses and residents have recognized him.


    "Oh, big man, it''s really rare to see you go out. Will you solve the case?"


    “Just go around.”


    "Wow, it''s the big uncle! I''m going to fly high today too!"


    "Haha, next time."


    As soon as he greeted the neighbors coming and going, Duanmu Huai also came to Miscatonic University. After "friendly exchanges" with the doorman, he also met Professor Osborne.


    "Ah, hello, Mr. Duanmu, the students have been waiting for it for a long time!"


    When he saw Duanmu Huai, Professor Osborne seemed very enthusiastic. As for why he was so enthusiastic... Well, Duanmu Huai didn''t want to know.


    "Professor Osborne, I would like to ask, what you call a **** model is..."


    "Ah, it''s the kind of mannequin you think. Of course, we have requirements, and we promise to give you a lot of rewards..."


    He walked into the campus with Duanmuhuai, and Professor Osborn also told Duanmuhuai about the situation. As expected, he wanted Duanmu Huai to be a naked model, 800 yuan at a time. Although it doesn’t seem to be much, if you think about it carefully, 800 yuan at a time, even if it is once a day, thirty days a month, that’s 24,000 yuan!


    Standing there, you can earn 24,000 yuan a month without moving. What kind of immortal profession?


    And the **** model requires whether it is high or low or not. It is not enough to be naked, and it must remain still for forty minutes, like a statue. Not only that, **** models have very strict requirements on the human body. In addition to those with unique talents like Duanmu Huai, ordinary **** models have strict requirements on their appearance, measurement, height and height.


    So those who have beer belly or swimming rings can save money on dreams.


    Duanmu Huai was taken to the art room without much effort. What made him feel relieved was that although after seeing Duanmu Huai, the students of the secret college showed a look of panic and frightened expression, none of them fainted or collapsed and ran out.


    Well, it is worthy of being a Mishi University who has produced many talents and is good at committing suicide, and the students they have trained are extraordinary.


    "Okay, this is your model today, Mr. Duanmu Huai!"


    Professor Osborne stood beside Duanmuhuai and spoke to his students.


    "You have seen that Mr. Duanmu Huai is gifted and a rare talent! I have spent a lot of talk to convince him to be a mannequin for you. In order to broaden your horizons, you must let go of your imagination, realize your shortcomings, get rid of the constraints of the world, and feel your true self! You must realize that there are still things in this world that are far beyond what you know!"


    “………??”


    Hearing this, Duanmu Huai lowered his head in confusion and looked at Professor Osborn beside him.


    What he said, why does it seem like something is wrong?


    However, Professor Osborn did not notice Duanmu Huai''s gaze. He just smiled and nodded.


    "Then, prepare to start!"
