Chapter 496 Invitation

After making the decision, Anthony immediately ordered his men to drive to Newburyport.

On the way, Anthony also took the time to look at the information about the investigator.

To Anthony's surprise, this was not the first time the other party encountered a U-level incident!

According to the records in the file, he was originally a citizen of Arkham, and was well-known locally. He graduated from college and had no criminal record. Not long ago, he was invited by a distant relative to attend a private art exhibition held by the other party, 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 file.

However, the record at the end of the file caught Anthony's attention.

It was recorded that the other party had superior combat power, not only killing ghouls and the cultists who controlled them, but also successfully rescued the victims...

In the U-level case...killed the monster? !

I have to say that Anthony's eyes were straight when he saw this.

Anthony couldn't say about other monsters, but he had seen ghouls. In the past ten years, Anthony had participated in several U-level cases, and he was also "lucky" to have encountered monsters like ghouls. He remembered very clearly that ghouls were not only scary in appearance, but also extremely resistant to attack. Their skin was like car tires, and the police's ordinary pistols had no reaction at all. Moreover, these ghouls were not slow and had great strength...

How did this investigator kill them?

And looking at the records, this was not just one, but a group!

Not only that, according to the last statement in the file, the investigator called the police after killing the monsters and cultists and rescuing the victims. In other words, the police simply helped him deal with the aftermath!

Good guy, this is also possible?

Seeing this, Anthony was stunned.

He has been in this line for ten years and has seen quite a few files. In Anthony's memory, basically in such cases, most investigators choose to escape first and then call the police. Some people who were cornered and desperate also fought back and fled.

Of course, from the perspective of the parties involved, Anthony could understand the feelings of these investigators. Facing such a monster, it was lucky to escape, and it was even more fortunate to be able to kill it successfully.

But in this way, the police naturally had a harder time, because these cultists were like rats, and they ran faster than anyone else at the slightest sign of trouble. In the past ten years, Anthony encountered hundreds of similar case files, but only a few of them were actually caught.

Well, they can be counted on one finger.

The rest were basically waiting for the police to arrive, and the other party had already run away.

This is also normal. After all, investigators are not soldiers. There is no need to rush into the mountains of swords and seas of fire at a single order. Even if they investigate when they encounter something, they will not choose to confront the other party head-on. After all, there is only one life, how can they survive?

So things like catching people with evidence together... are really rare.

After reading the files, Anthony was naturally more curious about Duanmu Huai in his heart, and wanted to see what this investigator was capable of. As for why Duanmu Huai went to Innsmouth, he felt that it was understandable. He had encountered that kind of thing before, and he felt unhappy and went to the seaside to take a breath and travel to relax. It was not unreasonable.

As a result, he encountered it again at the seaside... Hey, I can only say that this investigator is really unlucky.

While thinking, Anthony also came to the Newburyport Police Station, found someone to reveal his identity, and said that he wanted to talk to the investigator, so the other party took him to...

"What's going on?"

Looking at the warehouse in front of him, Anthony was stunned.

According to his experience, even if an investigator is locked up for investigation, most of them are detention, and a little worse is just a single room.

But what is this warehouse? ? ?

"Haha, we can't put it here."

Hearing Anthony's complaints, the local police officer also laughed and answered. And hearing his answer, Anthony also looked at him speechlessly.

Is Newburyport so awesome? The prison is full? There is no place to put people, so they have to be stuffed into the warehouse?

Is there such a thing?

"Open the door."

Anthony was too lazy to talk to him, and directly signaled the other party to open the door. The police officer also hurried forward to open the door, and then Anthony walked in.

Police station warehouses are generally not allowed to put people, after all, there are too many things in the police station warehouse. But fortunately, this warehouse is an old warehouse, and there is nothing in it, but the lights are a little dim. Anthony walked into the warehouse and saw that the entire warehouse was empty, with only a few empty shelves placed against the wall.

"Mr. Duanmu Huai?"

Anthony coughed and shouted.

"I am Sergeant Anthony Polk of the Federal Police Department, responsible for the investigation of the Innsmouth case this time. Can you please talk to me?"

As he spoke, Anthony walked into the warehouse and looked cautiously to both sides. Anthony has done this kind of thing a lot, and Anthony has gained experience. Even if an ordinary investigator escapes death, he will definitely be mentally traumatized, either having nightmares or being unable to come out of the corner he is in. There are even those who talk nonsense and even drink and take drugs...

So he didn't speak loudly, and he was even more cautious, for fear of irritating the other person.

At the same time, Anthony was muttering to himself that the people in this police station were all working for nothing, locking people up in such a big warehouse. If he wanted to play hide-and-seek with him, where would he find him?

However, as he walked...Anthony suddenly found that his eyesight went dark.

Um? Is this light out?

No?

Anthony looked to the left and right in confusion, but at this moment, a voice sounded from above his head.

"You're looking for me?"

"Yes, I am..."

Hearing the other party's answer, Anthony also nodded, then he subconsciously raised his head and looked up, and then...

“——————!!!”

When Anthony looked at that face, he was so frightened that he almost jumped up from where he was. Almost instinctively, he rolled directly on the spot, distanced himself from the opponent, then reached out and took out his gun and aimed it in one go, fully Showing his skills as a federal agent!

"No, don't move, or I'll shoot!!"

"………………"

Duanmuhuai crossed his arms and looked at Anthony speechlessly. The latter was also stunned for a moment before reacting.

"Are you... Mr. Duanmuhuai?"

"Yes, it's me."

Duanmuhuai took out the investigator qualification certificate from his pocket and handed it over. Anthony took the gun in one hand and opened it with the other, then compared it... and then he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Sorry, sorry, I was rude."

As he spoke, Anthony took back the gun and at the same time cursed in his heart that those who wrote the files did not grasp the key point. They did not include such obvious characteristics of such a big person here. They were just looking at my jokes, right?

but……………

"Mr. Duanmuhuai, may I ask what this is..."

After all, Anthony was considered a special commissioner. He was just unprepared at first. Now that he had come to his senses, he looked at Duanmuhuai in confusion, wondering if this was some kind of sequelae - after all, many investigators were also in contact with those people. After the unspeakable evil, the body mutated and so on...

"Oh, a natural."

"……………………"

Hearing Duanmu Huai's answer, Anthony was completely silent. He stared at the opponent's body full of muscles and explosive power, as well as his huge fists, and the original doubts in his heart completely disappeared.

Anthony was still wondering how Duan Muhuai was able to kill the ghoul before, but now when they met - good guy, he has never seen a fist as big as a casserole in so many years. It would be strange if he couldn't defeat a ghoul.

No wonder it’s so fierce......

Before meeting Duanmu Huai, Anthony only thought about the scene of an ordinary investigator working hard through wind and rain.

After seeing Duanmuhuai, Anthony immediately imagined Rambo and the Devil Muscular Man...

Although the ghoul is powerful, it is only about the same size as a human being, and ordinary people are like a puppy in front of this person... He is afraid of ghosts!

Looking at Duanmu Huai, Anthony could even picture a few ghouls jumping on him, and then being beaten to a pulp by three punches and two kicks...

Why? Why does it feel so good?

Even the discomfort and fear caused by just thinking about these monsters are gone now?

If Duanmuhuai knew what Anthony was thinking, he would definitely tell him that all fear comes from insufficient firepower.

As long as your firepower is strong enough, no problem is a problem.

In fact, most people in this world's fear of external gods comes from two points.

One is knowledge and the other is firepower.

For example, many times, when scientists see indescribable existences that subvert their understanding, they all collapse and go crazy.

To put it bluntly, this is because their knowledge is not broad enough.

On the other side of the Star Alliance, there are so many races in the universe, and there are even many alien races whose biological structures are the opposite of humans, and they can't even eat the same food. If something like the Ghoul Deep Diver was placed in the Star Alliance, people would probably just ignore it as a mutant creature.

As for Cthulhu, the Star Alliance doesn't care. If they dare to take the lead, they will send warships to beat them. Cthulhu, who can definitely fight, can't take care of himself.

After all, Cthulhu is, to put it bluntly, an alien psychic creature, not to mention 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 mentally pollute humans. This is one of the reasons why people in this world appear so fragile. one.

After all, this world is full of ordinary people, and few people have psychic powers. It's no wonder that these psychic creatures thrive here like a fish in water, fooling a group of people into worshiping them as gods.

This is just like a person with superpowers going to a world without superpowers. Rare things are more valuable...

But Duanmu Huai will definitely not spoil these bastards.

Of course, although he was shocked, Anthony followed the procedure and went over the case with Duanmu Huai. Duanmu Huai was familiar with this, which made Anthony unable to do it. When other investigators talked about this, they were either highly nervous or trembling. On the contrary, Duanmu Huai spoke directly and simply and clearly described the whole process.

He had no idea that players had always done this in the game and had long been accustomed to it.

To be honest, Anthony still had some doubts about Duanmu Huai's story, but looking at the figure in front of him who made people feel safe, his doubts were finally swallowed.

After all, Anthony couldn't imagine such a burly and strong man trembling.

So he signed and confirmed it, and then Duanmu Huai could go home.

However, just when Duanmu Huai was about to go home and have a comfortable sleep, he saw Sheriff Anthony, who had left, turned back again.

"Hello, Mr. Duanmu Huai, I have something I want to ask you for help."

"Me?"

Hearing Anthony's words, Duanmu Huai raised his eyebrows.

"Yes, in fact, in a case we just received, the other party claimed that his friend was missing... Based on his description, we suspect this is a U-level case, so... Mr. Duanmu Huai, as an investigator, would you like to go with us to investigate?"

Looking at Duanmu Huai, Anthony made an invitation.
