Chapter 521 Bait


    Facing Duanmu Huai, Mary explained what happened that night in detail.


    Recognizing that his friend''s expression was not right, he waited for her in the school hall. On the way, Charlotte was in a low mood, and suddenly, the terrifying steel monster appeared behind his friend, and then it was attracted by its right eye and chased him.


    "I see."


    After listening to Mary''s story, Duanmu Huai thought for a moment, then looked at the girl in front of her.


    "To be honest, I still don''t understand what the situation is, but if it is about the current situation of this Miss Charlotte, I can tell you the reason."


    "Why?"


    "It''s actually very simple to say. The reason why Miss Charlotte did not wake up is because it''s just her body, not her soul."


    "Why???"


    I have to say that when Mary heard Duanmu Huai’s answer, she was also shocked.


    “You mean…”


    "Her soul is not here, so no matter what the doctor uses, she cannot wake her up. What she wants to say now can be considered a living dead person."


    "Then, then where is Charlie''s soul?!"


    Hearing this, Mary also clenched her fists and stared at Duanmu Huai, while the latter shrugged.


    "I don''t know this either. As of now, the biggest possibility is that her soul may be in that dark city."


    "There………"


    Hearing Duanmuhuai''s words, Mary recalled the city she was running for that night, which was dead silent, without any breath, like a cemetery.


    "So, how do I find her? If this continues..."


    "As far as the current medical technology level is concerned, it is not difficult to survive the body, and Miss Charlotte seems to be a noble lady. At least we don''t have to worry that she will be suspended from maintaining her life because she can''t afford to pay. Well... This is a good thing, but I will investigate the specific situation."


    Duanmu Huai said here and glanced at Mary. Although she didn''t say it, Duanmu Huai always felt that this girl named Charlotte seemed to have something to do with this series of events. The monster who had been wandering in the dark city before has been completely destroyed by Duanmuhuai. However, after killing the monster, the originally closed and dark city disappeared. Then Duanmuhuai saw a strange man wailing and screaming in pain not far away, then bleeding from seven orifices, and then completely melted and disappeared into the darkness.


    At this point, at first glance, Mary and Charlotte seem to be just victims of this random murderer, but Duanmu Huai always feels something is wrong. After all, even the A-space was revealed, and according to Mary''s words, on the way home, Charlotte took the initiative to mention these murders, as if she wanted to confess something to Mary, but in the end she changed the subject.


    From this point alone, we can see that perhaps Charlotte is not just a simple victim.


    Perhaps Mary herself had this idea deep down, but... she didn''t want to believe this.


    Duanmu Huai also asked Mary about the Golden Eyes, but learned from Mary that she did not have this since she was born, but suddenly became like this a year ago. Not only that, after having Golden Eyes, Mary always had some strange dreams. In the dream, she was always chased by something in the dark city, and she was just running away desperately until she finally woke up...


    Although I have also seen a doctor, it has no effect. Besides, since her right eye turned golden, Mary has quickly analyzed ancient characters and relics. She was originally a student of the Master''s School of History, but now she is going further in this regard. Many times, it is possible that ancient inscriptions and records that seem very difficult and have even been lost, but she can successfully analyze them in a short time...


    Hearing this, Duanmu Huai couldn''t help but twitched. It was really worthy of being a golden eye. Not to mention anything else, this is a bug for archaeological research...


    As for the magic resistance of the Golden Eyes, Duanmu Huai almost guessed what was going on. He had also looked carefully in the Dark City before. Although Mary seemed to be just playing the game of catching the eagle chickens with the steel monster, it was not the case. Every time the steel monster acted, it would burst out with a strong evil force. Most people would lose all their strength when they touched this evil force, and even their vitality was deprived of, and they could only wait for death.


    But Mary was able to run all the way through it, but in the end she was caught up because she was weak and unable to run.


    If you use the game as an analogy, it means that when Mary is running away, the steel monster keeps giving her DEBUFF, but Mary is always showing immunity...


    It’s just that she doesn’t feel it.


    Well, it looks quite similar to a girl''s hand, but the power of the Golden Eye is much stronger than that hand. Unless it is a physical attack, it will basically be ineffective against Mary.


    No wonder the steel monster ran away behind Mary. The magic attack had no effect and it was also desperate.


    With its own magic resistance and magic break... The value of this golden eye looks really high.


    After checking Charlotte, Duanmu Huai and Mary left Charlotte''s home.


    "At present, the situation is very obvious. Your friend is in a deep sleep and losing his soul, which may be related to that dark city, so……"


    Duanmu Huai stared at Mary, and the latter didn''t dare to hold his breath and stared at him.


    "Do you want to cooperate with me?"


    "Why?"


    I have to say that when he heard Duanmu Huai’s proposal, Mary was really stunned.


    "cooperate?"


    "Yes."


    As he spoke, Duanmuhuai took out a document from his pocket and handed it to Mary.


    "I''ll introduce myself. My name is Duanmuhuai. I am an investigator and a detective. This time I came to Wudu to investigate the serial murders that occurred here. As of now, the serial murders I''m investigating should be related to what you have encountered. So, I think we can work together to explore the secrets behind it, and maybe we can find a way to awaken your friends."


    "Detective...Investigator..."


    Staring at Duanmuhuai''s ID, Mary was also stunned. She felt a little embarrassed to say that before, she found that only she could see the other party, and no one else could see it, she thought the man in front of her was a **** of death... At this moment, her face turned red and she lowered her head.


    It’s too second-rate, it’s a shame.


    "What do you think? Miss Mary?"


    Fortunately, Duanmu Huai was too tall and could not see Mary''s expression at all, so Mary took a deep breath and raised her head.


    "I would like to, this gentleman, but what exactly do you want to do?" Although Mary is a top student in the Department of History of Master''s College, she may still be able to interpret ancient inscriptions or relics, but she has no choice but to face those terrifying monsters.


    "I need you to be bait."


    "Bait??"


    I have to say that when he heard this, Mary was stunned.


    "Yes, you also discovered that those monsters seem to like your right eye very much. If there are still monsters who see your right eye, they will definitely not be able to help but pounce on them. By that time, I can eliminate them and investigate at the same time."


    Yes, the reason why Duanmu Huai had no progress like a headless fly before was really that there was no clue. But after the previous battle, he also gained experience. Duanmuhuai could feel that on that day, the subspace fluctuations in the entire fog city had a very large ups and downs, and then the Dark City appeared.


    Of course, the Dark City at that time was not in its complete form. Duanmu Huai could feel that it was more like the seabed seen from the sea surface - it was just a reflection reflected on the water surface, rather than a real Dark City.


    It is still sleeping and has not yet awakened.


    Duanmuhuai and Luolena obviously cannot attract these monsters, and after they disappear, the Dark City will also be closed. Therefore, if you want to enter the Dark City again, you must wait for the monsters to appear again. As of now, Mary with golden eyes is like a lantern fish in the deep sea, which can attract the attention of these monsters the most.


    Although it is logical that it is possible to only open this time, Duanmu Huai believes that it will definitely not end so simply. The next time they enter the dark city again, I''m afraid there will be a complete version of the dark city!


    Faced with Duanmu Huai''s invitation, Marie thought for a while and finally chose to agree. After all, she had no other choice now, not to mention that after that time, Mary also discovered that the monster was indeed staring at her eyes. Maybe if she encountered it again, it would be the same result.


    Since that''s the case, her choice is very obvious.


    "very good."


    Hearing Mary''s answer, Duanmuhuai nodded, then he took out his pocket and took out a ring.


    "Why?"


    Seeing the ring in Duanmuhuai''s hand, Mary suddenly turned red and she looked at him in surprise.


    "This is a holy weapon, wearing it can protect you from harm."


    Duanmu Huai directly put the ring in Mary''s hand and said.


    "And it''s...you need to strengthen your training."


    "train?"


    "Yes, how are your sports performance?"


    "Well………"


    Facing Duanmu Huai''s inquiry, Mary felt a little embarrassed. She was just an ordinary girl and was not particularly outstanding...


    "Starting tomorrow morning, I will send someone to help you train, which will at least give you enough strength to escape the pursuit of those monsters."


    There is no need to think about fighting. The Golden Eye''s ability is only added with magic resistance and magic break. It is not really possible to destroy the magic by slapping it on it. Mary is just an ordinary girl and does not have particularly strong combat power. Simply put, she just needs to run away.


    "I, I understand."


    Mary did not object to Duanmu Huai''s decision. She still remembered that she was chased by the steel monster that night and felt no way out. At that time, Mary thought that if she could run faster and work harder... So, she did not object to Duanmu Huai''s request.


    Well, until the next morning.


    Early the next morning, at the agreed time, Mary left the apartment two hours in advance, and then she saw a girl wearing nun''s suit and long pink hair standing outside the apartment. Seeing Mary, the girl also came over with a smile.


    "Ah, hello, may you be Miss Mary Clarissa Christie."


    "Ah, yes, you were invited by that gentleman..."


    “That’s right.”


    The girl nodded.


    "My name is Lorena. From today on, I will be responsible for your daily training for Miss Mary!"


    "Ah, hello... Miss Lorena."


    Hearing Lorena’s words, Mary hurriedly bowed to her.


    "So, what are we going to do?"


    “Well, it’s very simple.”


    Lorena looked at Mary with a smile and then spoke.


    "First of all, we have to do morning jogging, move our bodies, and then carry out the next training!"


    "Okay, no problem."


    Mary nodded, and she also ran through the morning run.


    "Then, let''s start, the goal - five kilometers!"


    "………Why?"
