Chapter 506 Isn’t This Style Wrong? ?

Arkham City.

Mark was not familiar with this city, but he successfully found his target by relying on the advertisement address in the newspaper.

No. 666 Fool Street………

Holding the newspaper in his hand, looking at the store in front of him, Mark frowned. From the appearance of the decoration, this store is very simple, even quite simple. On the sign of the store, there is only the word "Tribunal", and then a hammer and skull mark.

The same as the mark on the back of his hand.

Thinking of this, Mark lowered his head again, looked at the mark on the back of his hand, and then looked at the pattern on the store in front of him.

Exactly the same.

What is going on?

To be honest, holding the newspaper and standing on the street, Mark now feels that his brain is like paste.

Anyway, I'm here, let's go in first!

Thinking of this, Mark gritted his teeth, put the newspaper back in his pocket, and then reached out to push open the door of the store.

"Dingling."

Accompanied by the crisp doorbell ringing, the door opened, and then Mark stepped into the strange store in front of him.

When Mark walked into the store and saw the layout inside, he was stunned.

After he made up his mind to avenge his wife and eliminate the cultists, Mark had also looked for many wizards and the like. In his impression, those guys were always hiding in dark alleys, and the whole room was dim and mysterious, full of musty old books and disgusting weird props...

However, the first impression Mark had here was completely different from those voodoo shops before. It was not only clean and tidy, but also looked very neat, and even looked like... what brand store? ? ?

That's right.

In front of Mark was a very neat store. In the middle of the store was a glass cabinet with various jewelry, including necklaces, rings, and bracelets. On the shelves by the wall, there were various weapons. Including hammers, machetes, daggers, and even shields.

On the other side, there were things that looked like decorations...

In this way, the entire store was divided into three parts, of course, there were special classification labels.

On the wall full of weapons, there is a sign that says "Exorcism", and on the glass cabinet in the middle where the decorations are placed, there is a sign that says "Exorcism", and on the cabinets next to the decorations, there is a sign that says "Housekeeping".

…………………What the hell is this? ? ?

Looking at the store in front of him, Mark was confused.

For a moment, he felt that he had walked into the wrong place... Just when Mark was hesitating whether to go out, a voice rang out.

"Ah, welcome to the Tribunal, guest, what do you need?"

Hearing this clear and pleasant voice, Mark raised his head and looked in the direction of the counter. However, there was not a mysterious old witch, nor a voodoo wizard who tossed himself into a state of being unlike a human being, but a very beautiful and lovely girl, who was smiling and looking at Mark curiously.

"Excuse me, are you here in the Tribunal to buy or sell items?"

"Sell?"

Hearing the girl's words, Mark frowned and walked to the counter, and the girl nodded.

"Yes, if you have something that bothers you, you can sell it to our Tribunal. Of course, if you need anything, you can also buy items from our Tribunal to relieve your troubles."

"What do you mean???"

Mark reached out his hand in confusion and pointed to the cabinets behind him, and the girl nodded.

"Yes, if there are evil spirits or demons in your home, I recommend you buy decorations for the house. And if you are entangled and troubled by demons and want to drive them away or stay away from them, you can choose exorcism accessories."

"What about exorcism?"

Hearing this, Mark stared into the girl's eyes and asked, and the girl was stunned for a moment, and then continued to speak.

"Of course, if you want to fight against demons, you can also choose exorcism weapons."

"………………"

So simple? ?

Hearing the girl's answer, Mark frowned. He had sought similar help from other wizards, but they either said they didn't have such means, or told Mark that this was not something that ordinary people could handle. Where is it like here, where they are directly put out and sold at a clear price? ?

"Aren't there any requirements and risks?"

"Of course, if you choose to fight against the demons, it is a risk in itself. We can only provide you with a certain degree of assistance to help you not be affected by evil and filth, but other than that, you have to rely on your own strength."

Mark was not surprised by the girl's words. This was normal. As a soldier, he had to rely on his own ability when shooting, rather than letting the gun in his hand fire automatically. It was just that the other party actually told the truth, which surprised Mark a little. It seems that this "Tribunal" is really different from those other coquettish and slutty girls who pretend to be ghosts.

By the way, speaking of this...

"So, do you have guns here?"

"Sorry, sir, our store does not sell any long-range weapons including bows and firearms."

This was also Duanmuhuai's decision. After all, selling guns required a license, and he was too lazy to go to such trouble. In fact, the business license of the store in front of me is antiques and handicrafts. And those weapons and accessories that can "exorcise evil", "house control", and "eliminate demons" can be sold in the name of handicrafts. After all, this is not illegal, right?

But guns are another story.

Of course, the most important reason besides this is that in Duanmu Huai's view, only close combat is the most sacred, bravest and most loyal way of fighting. Do you want to fight a demon, instead of throwing a hammer at it, but instead standing back and shooting like a titanium man?

This is not loyal in itself!

Besides, Duanmu Huai's shooting skills are so bad... Forget it, I won't talk about it anymore, I will shed tears after talking about it.

"Of course, if you have any needs or services, you can go to the detective office on the second floor for help."

Of course Lorena still wanted to advertise to her boss.

To be honest, if this mark hadn't appeared on the back of his hand, and if he hadn't had nightmares since then, Mark would have suspected that there was something wrong with this place.

After all, this is not a pretense at all, and it doesn’t conform to my own ideas at all. Generally speaking, shouldn't this kind of thing be taken to the back and then some treasured treasure or something should be taken out? Why are you so calm? ?

For Lorena, she is indeed quite calm. After all, she has done a lot of similar things in the Holy City and has long been accustomed to working. Naturally, he won't be like those magic sticks in this world, who talk so much that they don't know why they are crazy.

But Mark is not used to it.

According to his experience, the general kind of magic stick goddess talks like a riddle man. She is nothing like this lady, she is just like some kind of customer service, she answers whatever you ask. Even if Mark asked her about the meaning of the mark of the Tribunal, she made it clear that pure human skulls are a symbol of human purity, and those degenerates who associate with demons have long lost their human purity, and their skulls have also lost their purity. Nature has mutated. The skull therefore represents the sanctity and purity of human beings...

Good guy, if you don’t know better, you might think this is a museum explaining it.

Of course, the risks must also be made clear.

"If you choose to use the power of the Tribunal, you will be regarded as a believer of the Tribunal. After your death, your soul will go to the Tribunal to serve the Tribunal."

Yes, you still have to say what needs to be said.

But after hearing Lorena's explanation, Mark frowned.

You are so serious... Is there really such a place as the afterlife?

"So, I want to meet the dead, is that okay?"

"this……………"

Faced with Mark's request, Lorena frowned.

"Sorry, our store does not provide this service."

"ok, I get it."

Hearing Lorena's answer, Mark nodded, and then he began to choose his own products.

Having dealt with cultists so many times, Mark also has some understanding of their methods. He knows that the most terrifying thing about these cultists is that they can summon some monsters from other worlds through some cult rituals. These monsters cannot be defeated simply by relying on firearms.

Therefore, choosing weapons has become his top priority.

So after thinking for a long time, Mark chose a dagger, and then took a shovel.

That’s right, a shovel.

In addition to commonly used melee weapons such as long swords, daggers, warhammers, and shields, Duanmuhuai also specially prepared a lot of folk hardware items, including logging axes and shovels, considering the civilization of modern society. , pickaxes and the like are densely hung on the wall. People who don’t know it think this is some kind of hardware store!

This can be regarded as a heart-warming service from Duanmu Huai. After all, he also knows that those investigators are running around and there will definitely be times when they need to dig holes and climb trees. What about the shovel? Can't you kill someone with a shovel?

As for why Duanmu Huai is not made into a military-style multi-function that integrates various functions... I'm kidding, he doesn't want to make money?

Why make one when you can make two?

Mark was selecting products here, and he was in an equally weird mood. He was joking, he was going to slay demons. What kind of process is this like selecting products in a supermarket?

Do these things really work?

Fortunately, these things themselves were not expensive. In the end, Mark picked out a shovel, a dagger, a ring and a bracelet, and then checked out and paid...

Of course, Lorena still has to work hard to advertise for her boss.

"If you have any needs, you are welcome to go to the office and contact our boss."

"…………………I will think about it."

Looking at the business card handed over by Lorena, Mark hesitated and reached out to take it. But in fact, he had no intention of asking anyone for help. After all, Mark knew very well that although those cultists were indeed hateful, in a society governed by the rule of law, his act of revenge was, to put it bluntly, murder. Naturally, the fewer people knew about this kind of thing, the better.

So after packing up a bunch of things, Mark turned around and left the store.

"Why……………"

Seeing this scene, Lorena sighed helplessly.

She has tried her best to attract customers for Duanmu Huai.

such a pity……………
