Chapter 531 All the way south


    Looking at Duanmu Huai in front of him, the man''s hair stood up all over his body. Under the moonlight outside, this ferocious face looked like an indescribable beast, showing his fangs, trying to tear him to pieces.


    Not only that, for the man, just being shrouded by this sight, he felt that his courage, will and even his belief that he had been willing to die for it seemed to have begun to collapse at a completely unimaginable speed, just like the sand blowing under the wind or the melting snow under the sun. It was almost in a moment, and he felt that everything he had insisted on from birth to now collapsed in the other party’s eyes!


    At this moment, the man stared at Duanmu Huai and suddenly widened his eyes!


    “Yes, it’s you!”


    "oh?"


    Hearing the man''s words, Duanmu Huai raised his eyebrows.


    "Do you know me?"


    "Of course... you have destroyed the plan of the cottage twice in a row... I really didn''t expect that such a secret plan would be known!"


    Looking at Duanmu Huai, the man almost looked crazy.


    "How is this possible? This is the most confidential plan. Why do you know? Who leaked the secret?!"


    Um?


    Looking at the man''s expression, Duanmu Huai was stunned for a moment, and then immediately reacted. It is obvious that judging from the man''s words, the two previous actions of the Yinmu Hut that he encountered on the train and airship were actually part of a big plan. And the current Dark City seems to be the core of this big plan?


    And they broke through Yinmu''s plan twice in a row, so they mistakenly thought they took action intentionally after learning everything?


    But Duanmu Huai knew that all this was just a coincidence...well, coincidence... it seems to be wrong.


    Thinking of this, Duanmu Huai looked at his pocket silently, and the rabbit inside was curled up in a ball and poked his head out curiously looking outside.


    It seems that my lucky rabbit is still very powerful.


    Duanmu Huai didn''t expect that the case in Wudu would be linked to the case on the train and airship.


    But now...


    “It has nothing to do with you.”


    Duanmu Huai snorted coldly, stretched out his hand, strangled the man''s throat tightly, and lifted him up.


    "You just need to answer my questions. What is the purpose of doing all this?"


    "...You, you obviously already know..."


    "Of course, that''s why I asked this question. You should understand that it''s useless to tell lies in front of me."


    This is naturally a lie. Duanmu Huai didn''t know what Yinmu''s hut wanted to do at all, but for him, it was not very difficult to cheat. Although Duanmuhuai does not have the extraordinary charm and discourse skills of many players, he naturally cannot use persuasion or see through it, but in terms of deterrence... he is professional.


    “Woo…ah……”


    As Duanmu Huai''s fingers exerted a little force, the man felt his throat gradually being pressed. He was like a shriveled balloon, and the remaining air was spit out from his lungs. Coupled with Duanmu Huai''s fierce look, which seemed to be about to eat him raw, the man at this moment had already collapsed and completely lost his mind.


    "The world, the world will be completely changed... We will reshape this world, the great gods are coming, and the torch of the Tatar Gate has been lit..."


    "Speak human words."


    "So, everything is part of the plan. We know that the great gods of ancient times are wandering in the void, so we want to guide them to our world and completely change everything. The Gate of Tatar is just the beginning. Miss Charlotte has arrived at the door and has become a guide with a torch. The next thing we have to do is to unseal and open the door... The City of Darkness is just one of them. All over the world, our compatriots are fighting for this great ideal... Ah...!!"


    However, before the man finished speaking, Duanmu Huai''s fingers exerted a little force, and soon he screamed again.


    "In other words, what I encountered in the past few times was also part of your plan?"


    "No, that''s right... opening the cross-latitude channel to the Black Cave, calling for the favor of the Thousand-Faced God, and lifting the seal of the Dark City... are all part of the plan..."


    "But I''m very curious."


    Duanmu Huai stared at the man and asked lightly.


    “According to Professor Chapek, Miss Charlotte has arrived at the Gate of Tatars, so why do you do these stupid things here again?”


    "Miss Charlotte...she...she is special. What she desires is a different purpose from us. When she reaches the gate of Tatar, she holds a torch and guides the coming of the gods. However, without the contact of the seal, the gate of Tatar will not open...so we have to help her..."


    "How many people are there in total, and where are they?"


    “…………………”


    Faced with Duanmuhuai''s inquiry, the man chose to remain silent for the first time, while Duanmuhuai smiled, then reached out and grabbed the man''s arm. He lifted it in front of the man like pulling the arm of a toy villain and shook it.


    "See it? This is your arm."


    As he spoke, Duanmu Huai stretched out his fingers and pressed them on the man''s forearm, then suddenly exerted force.


    "Click!!"


    “Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh


    The next moment, the man''s forearm suddenly broke like a toy little man''s arm that was bent and destroyed in the opposite direction. Then Duanmu Huai grabbed his broken and twisted arm with his backhand, pulled it hard, and pulled the man''s forearm off his arm!


    “Now it’s not.”


    Duanmuhuai threw away the cut-off arm in his hand and stared at the man coldly. At this moment, the man was already in pain and pale instinctively struggled, trembling, and kicked and kicked the floor desperately, as if this could alleviate some of his own pain. But under Duanmu Huai''s fearful aura, the man could not even faint and could only endure the pain of almost completely breaking his reason.


    "Answer me, how many of you are? Where are they?"


    "No, no more! There are only four of us left here! Chapek and Loret have failed, and Charlotte has arrived at the Gate of Tatars. I am the last person to the Chapek Research Society who stayed here! As for where the other guests of the cottage went... I don''t know! I really don''t know...ahhhhhhhh!"


    However, before the man finished speaking, Duanmu Huai kicked out and kicked directly on his knee, which immediately smashed the man''s left knee joint. Then his twisted calf was stepped on by Duanmu Huai and tore off his thigh - it was like tearing a roasted lamb leg.


    “My patience is limited.”


    "South, Antarctica! They went to Antarctica!"


    At this moment, the man finally couldn''t help but shout.


    "I only know these. They went to Antarctica and said they wanted to open the Tatar Gate from there... They said that there was a mysterious ancient civilization there a long time ago. There was a truly connected Tatar Gate in their ruins! I really only know these. As for where they went to Antarctica, I really don''t know! I don''t know... Woo..."


    Duanmu Huai was not in the mood to listen to the man''s plea. He then exerted a little force to curb the man''s voice.


    “………By the way, the last question, how did you recognize me?”


    "...The guests of the cottage all know that there is a bald man with a fierce and ferocious face and a monster height that is about the same height as a monster, hindering me..."


    "Click."


    This time, before the man finished speaking, Duanmu Huai suddenly grabbed his head and twisted it like a bottle cap. Then he twisted the man''s head off his neck, and the man''s voice stopped abruptly.


    It''s indeed a cult organization, and it''s all nonsense. What''s the fierce and hideous face? Is it your turn to say?


    Although the man did not say where they went to Antarctica in the end, Duanmu Huai knew very well.


    In fact, after the man said the word "Antarctic", he knew where to go to find those **** cultists.


    It was a plateau area south of the Ross Sea, sleeping under the strong ice covered by severe cold and ice.


    The great existence on this planet was once the place where the old dominators and their minions fell asleep. It is also a check-in holy place that players are rushing to.


    However, compared to other places, going to Antarctica will be obviously more troublesome and more dangerous.


    This was seen from Mary when she learned that Duanmu Huai was going to Antarctica.


    "Mr. Duanmu, are you really going to Antarctica?"


    "As far as we look, this is all we can do."


    Duanmu Huai nodded. He was not worried that the man would lie. After all, Duanmu Huai could clearly see in the system that the man''s SAN value had been directly broken by himself and completely entered a state of crazy out of control. In this state, he could not keep the secret at all.


    "Me, can I go too?"


    "You want to go?"


    "Yes, because Mr. Duanmu, didn''t you say that the Tatar Gate is in Antarctica? Maybe...I wonder, will I see Charlie there..."


    "It''s not easy to go to Antarctica. Can you get a license?"


    "this………"


    Hearing Duanmuhuai''s inquiry, Mary, who was originally extremely excited, suddenly lost her voice. As Duanmuhuai said, not everyone can go to Antarctica at will. Not to mention that she is still a student and is not qualified to go to Antarctica at all unless...


    "I remember, you are a student in the Department of History, right?"


    "Yes."


    Although I don’t know why Duanmu Huai suddenly raised this question, Mary nodded as well.


    "Will there be similar excavation and collection scientific research activities in the Department of History?"


    "Of course there will be this."


    Mary nodded again. As Duanmu Huai said, the Department of History of the Royal Master''s College often went out to inspect relics and cultural relics, and in fact, some students had followed them. But they are all big guys who participated in the research association. Little transparent like Mary does not have similar qualifications and opportunities.


    “That’s fine.”


    Duanmu Huai snapped his fingers.


    “Leave it to me.”


    “………???”


    Of course Duanmu Huai has no connections, but he doesn’t need it either. After all, he still has the foundation line!


    After discussing with Mary, Duanmuhuai returned to the room, logged into the foundation''s website, and then entrusted them to check whether the Royal Master''s College had plans to conduct scientific research in Antarctica.


    Naturally, there is no need to say much about the intelligence strength of the foundation. Not long after, Duanmu Huai received a reply. According to the information investigated by the Foundation, Royal Master''s College does have plans to go to Antarctica for geological investigations, but as mentioned before, not everyone can go to Antarctica. Not only does it take to take a scientific test, but the cost is also astronomical. It is obviously... unlikely for organizations directly under the Royal Master''s College to expect them to spend such a large sum of money to sponsor a group of people to dig stones in Antarctica.


    Fortunately, this kind of research and investigation of pure public welfare nature is not difficult to pass the review itself, and the only problem is money.


    As long as someone pays for it, no problem is any problem.


    Just like now.


    “Thank you very much for your funding, Mr. Duanmu Huai.”


    Professor Pamal from the Department of Geology of the Royal Master''s College blushed, held Duanmuhuai''s hand, and shook it up and down desperately. This professor is in his early fifties. Unlike other teachers, he looks like he is exposed to the wind and sun. When he sees his bronze skin, he knows that he is a person who has been traveling around all year round. Of course, this professor himself is also a very famous person and even received the Royal Medal, but unfortunately... the medal cannot be exchanged for him to go to Antarctica.


    But Duanmu Huai can do it.


    "I have always been eager to go to Antarctica to explore and investigate the geological layers there, but unfortunately things are not going as they wish... I have never been able to make it happen... Thanks to your funding..."


    "You don''t need to say more about polite words, Professor Pamal."


    Duanmu Huai waved his hand and interrupted the other party''s flattery.


    “In fact, I only have two requirements. If you can meet me, then I can fully fund your scientific research plan.”


    “What are the requirements?”


    “The first requirement.”


    As he spoke, Duanmu Huai stretched out his fingers.


    "I have never been to Antarctica, so I want to go together to see the scenery of Antarctica, or something, is it okay?"


    "Of course this is OK. I can add your name to the list of scientific expedition teams... but I didn''t expect you to go in person..."


    "There is nothing wrong with going out for a walk. As for the second question... I hope you add another person."


    "Add one?"


    “That’s right.”


    Facing Pamal''s puzzled gaze, Duanmu Huai smiled slightly.


    "Her name is Mary Clarissa Christie, and she is a second-year student in the Department of History of the Royal Master''s College. She has always been looking forward to going to Antarctica. If you can invite her to join your scientific research team, I will be grateful."


    "this………"


    I have to say that in the face of Duanmu Huai''s request, Pamal was really stunned. He had heard of the name of the student Mary for a long time. He was indeed very smart and had very good grades, but he was not the other party''s teacher, so he didn''t care too much.


    Generally speaking, Pamal will definitely benefit the students of his own research association. It is not Mary''s turn to be a student outside.


    But this is the request of the financial owner... Having said that, why did this gentleman make such a request?


    Thinking of this, Professor Pamal seemed to have thought of something and suddenly realized.


    Could it be that Mary Clarissa is the man’s lover?


    This kind of thing is actually not uncommon. Of course, generally speaking, as a professor, Pamal doesn’t evaluate this behavior much. But now there are people who are willing to invest in their own scientific research projects for their lover...


    "no problem."


    Soon, Pamal smiled and nodded.


    "I have also taught Mary Clarissa that she is indeed a smart student, and I want to invite her to join my research association if she wants."


    Although Professor Pamal didn''t know whether these two people were planning to go to Antarctica for a honeymoon trip or something, he didn''t care.


    As long as there is enough funds to fund your own scientific research projects, nothing else matters!
