Chapter 1411 Meijia’s request (I finally arrived at Xiaoxitian)


    As an old dominant, the deeper Duanmu Huai explored his priesthood, the more different his vision was.


    To put it bluntly, it is the perspective of the victim and the perpetrator.


    The setting of a standard Cthulhu story is like this - a group of people are locked in a closed space while being confused and ignorant. At the same time, in the corner of this enclosed space, there are some terrifying and terrifying existences who are trying to kill it. And to escape these terrible guys, the investigators worked hard, they paid the sacrifice and the price of blood, and some were killed to protect their companions. Some people are willing to sacrifice their lives to open the mechanism, while others choose to die with the monster.


    In the end, the only survivor opened the closed exit. He carries everyone''s expectations and is about to leave this gloomy, terrifying, and evil place and return to the real world. At the same time, he secretly swore that he would never forget the sacrifice of his companions.


    However, when the survivor pushed open the door, what appeared before him was the razed city and the monsters raging everywhere. It was not until this time that he understood the truth of the matter-the whole world had long been destroyed, and this was the last refuge for mankind.


    But now, all this is left with despair.


    In the final analysis, the core of Cthulhu myth is irresistible despair. As tiny creatures, human beings are inconspicuous fears like dust in the face of the universe and those indescribable great beings.


    Well, if we use the metaphor of the human empire - a group of star-world troops encountered cultists and demons at the bottom of the nest. When they fought desperately to repel the opponent''s attack and opened the door to try to escape, they found the gray knight and the judge who appeared in front of them.


    Well……I’m sorry.


    This is also the essence of Cthulhu mythology - the victim''s perspective.


    In the final analysis, investigators are powerless. In the face of human beings irresistible, all they can do is resist like a mantis arm blocking a car.


    But on the other hand, it may not be so dramatic.


    For example, Duanmu Huai, as the judge, learned that a cultist summoned the demon at the bottom of the nest, so he led the gray knight to investigate and destroy it. However, when they took the elevator to the bottom of the nest, they encountered a **** and semi-deficient star army. Considering that they may be contaminated, Duanmu Huai''s choice given to them is naturally to either turn around and sacrifice himself for the empire or be purified by the gray knight on the spot.


    It’s not dramatic, and he is not trying to scare these star army. This is just Duanmu Huai’s responsibility as a judge.


    Similarly, if Duanmu Huai led a group of dark night guards to massacre the Namei, then in the eyes of the massacred Namei, perhaps Duanmu Huai and the Dark Night Guard would be as terrifying as those indescribable demons. But for Duanmuhuai, they are just aliens that need to be eliminated, which is that simple.


    so………


    “…People feel terrified because they are subjectively aware of the irresistible force, not the other party is intimidating them. Do you understand?”


    Duanmu Huai looked at Medea sitting in front of him and spoke.


    The reason why it became like this is because not long ago, Duanmu Huai taught Alice Phil and Medea, teaching them some common sense about the old dominators and external gods. In order to better explain, Duanmu Huai also gave the two a few stories as examples.


    The result was that after hearing this, Medea nodded thoughtfully and said.


    "I understand, so the old dominator is trying to make himself more scary and scare others to mental breakdown? So, should you become scarier too? But I think you are already scary..."


    So next, Duanmu Huai had to spend five hours carefully explaining the difference to the two - I didn''t get the priesthood of the old dominator because I was so scary!


    ………It shouldn’t be true?


    Must not!


    "I understand, I understand..."


    Looking at Duanmu Huai, Medea nodded uneasyly - she hadn''t seen Duanmu Huai say so much!


    "Well, just understand."


    Duanmuhuai nodded with satisfaction, and at this time, Shajiuye poked his head out of the stairs with dissatisfaction.


    "If you understand, come and have a meal. It''s true. My brother is always entangled in some strange things."


    What do I mean to always get entangled in some strange things? If this matter is wrong, it will be over!


    The supper was made by Shajiuye, and it tasted good, and the whole family was having a happy meal. Only Yuko Shi Yuanji was a little reluctant. In fact, after she first came here, she kept huddled in the room and didn''t go out. She even had to send Shajiuye to her room for dinner, and then after eating, she came to the door to take the dishes and chopsticks away.


    But Duanmuhuai is not accustomed to her. I am not a hotel here, and Shajiuye is not a room service. If you want to eat, please come down for me to eat! Otherwise you will starve to death!


    So in the end, Akiko Shiyuan Temple had to be obedient and come down to have dinner on time every day. The hall was originally converted from a cafe, so there are many places to eat. In the past, there were only three people and it was a little bit empty. Now, with Alice Phil and Medea, a total of five people, it seems a lot more lively.


    “By the way, brother.”


    At dinner time, Shajiuye thought of something and looked at Duanmu Huai.


    "Do you have time next week?"


    "What''s wrong? What''s wrong?"


    Duanmu Huai thought about it. Recently, he had nothing to do except track down the light of the universe. Duanmu Huai also handed over the mission of tracing the Light of the Universe to Alice Fier, Medea and Ariko Shinji. The first two can be investigated in reality by making the demons track in the information field through the Internet, just making up for the weaknesses of both sides. But so far, there has been no movement in the Light of the Universe. Apart from that, Duanmu Huai... seems to have nothing to do. “Meijia invites us to the banquet…”


    "?again?"


    "Well………"


    Facing Duanmuhuai''s complaints, Shajiuye''s expression was also a little awkward. After all, the last time Meijia invited them to a birthday party, something happened.


    The result is again now.


    and………


    "Actually, Meijia hopes that brother, you can help her investigate a case."


    Sure enough, I knew it wasn''t that simple.


    "Tell me what the situation is."


    So Shajiuye quickly explained the situation.


    Strictly speaking, this is not a matter of Meijia, but a matter of Baifan’s family.


    The theme of the event is "Divine Hidden".


    As mentioned before, Baifan’s family has many industries, including a hot spring hotel located in the mountains. Due to its excellent location, the environment is also good. Baifan''s family carried out a series of industrial expansions around the hot spring hotel, and of course they also hired many locals to work there, intending to build it into a high-end care community.


    Bai Fan’s family has always cooperated well with that village. After all, they hired local people to work there, which can be regarded as providing many jobs for the local area. The village is also very supportive of Bai Fan’s work, which can be said to be a pleasant cooperation.


    But there is no banquet that lasts forever, and even the partners who work happily can part ways.


    Not long ago, the son of the village chief found the person in charge of Baifan Hotel and conducted some private negotiations. To put it bluntly, it is to ask for money. After all, in the eyes of the village chief''s son, these lands are all from the village. Baifan, as a large capital company, had offered a price too low before, so he believed that Baifan company maliciously lowered the price, so he asked them to make up for the difference, otherwise he would see him in court!


    Bai Fan''s family is naturally disdainful of this. The lawyers they engage in capital and raise are calculated based on the group. Any land acquisition contract and other things can naturally be clearly understood. If Bai Fan''s family wants to turn this place into a high-end care community, it is naturally impossible to leave any hidden dangers. Everything is clearly done, and there is no price difference at all.


    So they rejected the person''s request - although the Baifan family has a great family and a great business, the money was not blown by the strong wind, and this kind of person is not greedy and swallowing the elephant. This time he gave it to him, maybe he will come again next time, so of course this hole cannot be opened!


    The village chief’s son failed to get the money, so he left with a bad face. At that time, no one took this seriously. After all, the village chief’s son had a bad reputation, and he left the village after graduating from junior high school, saying that he wanted to go to a big city to start a career. As a result, more than ten years have passed, and he looks poorer than before when he came back in shame. On the contrary, the country people he looked down upon have made a lot of money because of the big tree of Baifan Enterprise. No wonder he would find a way to ask for money.


    But a few days later, something bad happened.


    First of all, the village chief mysteriously disappeared, and then the village chief''s son also disappeared, which immediately caused people in the village to talk. Not only that, after that, several people disappeared. Although they also called the police, the police''s investigation made no progress.


    This is naturally not a good thing for Bai Fan’s family. After all, the residents there are now panic. Some people even want to say that the village is cursed and want to escape. After all, they also made a lot of money when working in Baifan Hotel, and they said they still have confidence in moving.


    Originally, this was not related to Baifan Hotel, but the problem was that Baifan Hotel hired locals! If all the locals ran away, where would they hire people?


    And if there is another rumor of curse, will others come after hearing it? Isn’t their high-end care community just wasted?


    "I understand the situation."


    After listening to Sha Jiuye’s explanation, Duanmu Huai nodded.


    "So Meijia wants me to investigate the disappearance there? What does this have to do with her?"


    Even if that hotel belongs to Bai Fan''s house, it doesn''t mean that Meijia is coming forward, what about the owner of that hotel?


    "Brother, don''t you know? It was originally a birthday gift given to Meijia by Bai Fan''s family. She is the boss there... but it''s just that someone is currently acting on behalf of me."


    “………………”


    Well, rich people are just amazing, I won’t play anymore.


    Duanmu Huai sighed silently, so you see, this is capital. The little girl is only 16 years old and is less than the age to drink. She runs a hot spring hotel under her.


    And ordinary people work hard all their lives, probably not as good as this.


    By the way, your family also gives birthday gifts to the hotel? When will I send me a plane?


    Duanmu Huai silently finished complaining in his heart, and then thought for a moment.


    "Okay, I agree."


    After all, being idle is also idle...
