Chapter 663 The Visitor

"call……………"

Duanmuhuai also opened his eyes at this time, and then looked at Mary lying on the ground, stunned for a moment.

"This is?"

"Ah... Miss Mary seems to be a little unwell..."

At this moment, Ann and Gu Leya also hurriedly stepped forward and helped Mary up.

"Did the magic fail? But I think it succeeded?"

Duanmu Huai could now clearly see that there was a pink thread connecting him and Mary.

Well, of course, the location is a bit hard to describe—but considering that this is a spell from the Pink Book, it seems understandable?

"Uh... It's just that Miss Mary isn't quite used to magic yet. She just needs to rest for a while."

An also spoke hurriedly at this moment.

"Okay then, I'll go out and take a look first, and you guys will take care of Mary here."

Duanmuhuai didn't think too much, he just nodded and left the room. Watching Duanmu Huai leave, An and Gu Leya both breathed a sigh of relief, and then looked at Mary, who was still in a trance. The girl's eyes were blurred, she was breathing slightly, her body was limp, and her face was blank. .

"...I am very interested in the magic Mr. Knight used just now."

An stared at Mary, and then whispered. When she heard An's words, Gu Leiya was shocked and turned to look at her.

"install?"

"Isn't it interesting?"

"Uh...who are you going to use it for?"

"whee……………"

Hearing Gu Leya's question, An smiled at her, but seeing An's smile, Gu Leya trembled all over and subconsciously took a step back.

Well, that’s all there is to it.

At the same time, Duanmu Huai was enjoying the power of the Golden Eyes in the small town.

"This is really awesome...Tsk, tsk, tsk, why doesn't anyone get it in the game?"

Looking at the world in front of him, Duanmu Huai couldn't help but sigh.

Of course, if you just look at it, there doesn't seem to be any difference. But when Duanmuhuai focused his will on his right eye, he could see different rays of light. Mary couldn't explain what they were, but Duanmuhuai understood it at a glance.

This is the direction mark.

In the eyes of Mu Huai in front of him, each person has a direction mark, pointing straight into the distance, which means that with just one glance, you can know where these people are coming from and where they are going. For example, the guard planned to go to the pub next to him for a drink, while the man on the other side wanted to go fishing by the river. Even if it was a black cat chasing a mouse, Duanmuhuai could see how it passed through the broken glass window. Get out and then chase the prey into the alley.

And if you focus on a certain goal, you can see everything related to it.

For example, this river right now.

"Is that the problem here?"

Duanmuhuai stood by the river and looked towards the river in front of him. The dark aura in the belly of the pregnant lady was connected to this river. In other words, does the dead baby have something to do with this river?

But no traces of curse or magic were detected... Hmm...

Duanmuhuai stared at the river again, focusing his attention. Soon, his sight began to "go upstream", moving in the direction of the rushing river, and then came to the cave in the mountain. Then Duanmuhuai saw something strange. Dazzling flash, in a huge pond, a stone is emitting dazzling light, and then......

"Woo!"

The next moment, a severe headache occurred, and Duanmu Huai came to his senses, only to realize that the light connecting him and Mary had disappeared.

"Sure enough, it's not my own golden eyes, so it's still troublesome to use them."

Obviously, the Golden Eye is indeed an artifact. In the game, it is simply a plug-in that automatically guides the way. To put it simply, it is like the player accepts the task and a direction mark appears directly for you. The player only needs to follow the direction mark to complete the task directly. It is simply cheating.

But unfortunately, this thing does not seem to support sharing. Although Duanmuhuai is fine, Mary can no longer support it...

Forget it, no matter what, the clues have been found.

"Sir, it's not good!!"

At this moment, a guard ran over panting. His face was pale and frightened, while Duanmu Huai withdrew his eyes and stared at him.

"What's wrong?"

"Strange, monster! There is a monster in the mine!"

The guard who came back was one of the guards who had been ordered by Duanmu Huai to follow the kid to check the mine. According to his story, the group of people followed the kid to the entrance of the mine halfway up the mountain, and found that the mine that was supposed to be closed was indeed It was smashed open by something. Everyone was shocked at that time. Originally, they should have left immediately to report the news to Duanmu Huai, but several guards with miner background were stunned by the destructive energy of the mine, and then walked into the dark mine. I want to find out what happened in the mine.

But soon, the guards left outside heard the screams coming from inside. The screams that seemed to tear apart their souls made others tremble. They almost immediately dropped their weapons and ran in a hurry. Come back.

"I see."

Duanmuhuai thought for a moment, then nodded.

"I will go and deal with it. The people calling you will block all the entrances and exits of the mines - are there many entrances and exits?"

"There are only two. I will block them completely!"

The guard who came back was pale and his lips trembled, but he still mustered up the courage to answer.

"Do you need me to notify your companions?"

"Not for now. It would be better for me to handle this matter alone."

Although Golden Eyes did not see the end, Duanmu Huai had some guesses. Perhaps this could also explain why the priests and paladins did not notice the problem. Because this is beyond their knowledge and common sense. Just like for people in other worlds, the so-called divine arts or magic are more like tricks to deceive people, some things are also very unfamiliar to people in this world.

The entrance to the mine is located halfway up the mountain behind the town. There are still railroad tracks here, and you can see empty mine carts around. Obviously, they once had a glorious time, but now the dust and spider webs all over the mine carts show that those days are gone forever.

"Stay away from here, don't get close, and no one should come in."

Before Duanmu Huai walked into the cave, he turned around again and said to the mayor and the garrison officer.

"If you want to come in, you will have to bear the consequences at your own risk."

"Is it dangerous inside?"

"You don't need to know that."

Duanmu Huai's cold eyes stopped the mayor's stupid and curious questioning.

"If you want to come in, please feel free to do so. After all, I have warned you."

After saying this, Duanmu Huai turned and left, while the others swallowed their saliva, looked at each other for a moment, and then retreated.

They are not stupid.

The mine was dark and lightless.

Duanmu Huai clenched his hands into fists and strode in. This narrow space was not suitable for him to swing the thunder hammer or the power sword, but it didn't matter. For Duanmu Huai, these fists alone were enough to turn all the creatures that dared to stand in front of him into a pile of meat paste.

Even more effective than the hammer.

"Click...click click click...!"

As Duanmu Huai went deeper into the mine, a strange noise emerged from his helmet, but Duanmu Huai was not surprised by the noise. It could even be said that he had guessed it long ago!

"Sure enough, damn radiation!"

Looking at the radiation value warning from the helmet, Duanmu Huai clenched his fists.

This is what he guessed when he saw the last scene through the golden pupil. Although it is not strange that stones can glow in the magic world, it can even be said that many gems can glow. But Duanmu Huai soon thought of what the Tyr priest had said before, that their investigation had yielded nothing.

If the stone was the effect of some kind of magic, then they could not fail to notice it. But what if it was not magic?

Can radioactive substances be detected by detecting toxins or detecting curses?

Duanmu Huai did not know what basis this magic was based on, but now it seems that these magics obviously have no effect on the radiation produced by nature.

So, is this just an accident?

Duanmu Huai did not think so, the reason is very simple, this is an iron ore field, if there has been a radioactive mine here for a long time, then the miners in Locke Town would have died almost a long time ago. But if you say that it was dug out recently, it is not right. From the previous mine cart, it can be seen that because the mines have been mined out, Locke Town has not opened for mining for a long time, and there is no such thing at all.

In other words, someone deliberately placed a piece of radioactive ore here in order to poison people downstream of the river. It is no longer news that radioactive pollution causes fetal deformity and miscarriage. In this way, the distorted shape of the dead babies in Locke Town can be understood. The only thing to say is that this process is a bit too fast, and similar situations do not seem to have occurred in other places.

Perhaps it is because Locke Town is the closest, so it is the most affected?

This is also the reason why Duanmu Huai did not let An and Mary and others come with him. The power armor of the Inquisitor can resist all radiation and extreme cold and high temperature, and can move freely in a vacuum. But he does not believe that An's magic can protect himself from radioactive pollution.

Radioactive ore, but unlike ordinary radioactive ore, Furen does not seem to produce this thing. Could it be from another world? That's even more interesting. Who brought it here, for what purpose, and from what world?

You have to know that except for Locke Town, there is no one living nearby. It is not a densely populated place like Waterdeep or Neverwinter. Generally speaking, if you want to cause pollution with radiation, you can choose to launch attacks in those big cities instead of in such a small place...

"Huh!"

Just as Duanmu Huai was thinking, suddenly, a sharp thing like a spear emerged from the dark shadows and pierced Duanmu Huai's head, then hit Duanmu Huai's helmet heavily and flew away. Feeling the impact of the battle, Duanmu Huai also roared, gathered his mind, reached out his hand to grab the spear, and pulled it hard. Then, accompanied by screams, a black shadow fell from the air and hit the ground.

At this moment, under the illumination of the searchlight, Duanmu Huai clearly saw the monster that attacked him—its body looked like an adult human, but it was only the body. Its limbs were very slender, especially its forearms and calves, which looked like spider legs. Moreover, this monster had no neck at all. Its twisted face was "embedded" in the middle of its shoulders. Its jaw opened and closed, and it screamed in pain. Turbid and dirty blood spurted out from the fracture of one of its legs, filling the entire cave.

What is this? Spider-like human?

Looking at this ghost thing in front of him, Duanmu Huai was also confused. He had never seen a similar mutant monster, but he was sure that these things should be the monsters that came out of the belly of the woman in Locke Town before, because Duanmu Huai remembered very clearly that the mayor and the garrison captain had said that the victim's body seemed to be pierced and torn by something like a spear...

Duanmu Huai looked at the section in his hand, which looked like a slender human leg that was stretched, but the place where the sole of the foot should have been was erected high, forming a sharp top.

Well, it seems that this is the murder weapon.

However, this thing is obviously bigger than Duanmu Huai imagined. You know, this thing was hiding in a woman's belly at first, so it would only be as big as a baby, but now the body of this monster is about the same size as a strong adult man.

What does it feed on... Well, it can't be radiation.

Duanmu Huai's face sank, and he now felt more and more that this was a conspiracy.

The twisted dead baby's body, the mutant monster that feeds on radiation, and a stone that emits radiation energy.

Putting these three things together, Duanmu Huai always felt that it was a standard plot at the beginning of a mission.

"Humph!"

Duanmu Huai stepped on the twisted monster and directly stepped its body into a bloody meat paste. Then he clenched his fists and continued to walk inside. The mine was connected in all directions, but it was no longer important to Duanmu Huai. He just had to follow the radiation detector and find the place with the highest radiation concentration.

The deeper into the mine, the more strange monsters there were. Duanmu Huai also saw the bodies of the soldiers who had entered the mine before. Their bodies were pierced, their abdomens were cut open, and their internal organs were scattered all over the ground. It was obvious that the monsters that ate them did not seem to be familiar with how to eat. However, Duanmu Huai did not doubt that these monsters would understand after a few experiments.

But unfortunately, they had no chance.

"Squeaky-squeaky---!!"

This twisted monster screamed like a mouse and pounced on Duanmu Huai. Their attack method was very simple, that is, to pierce the enemy's body with their limbs like spears, and then tear them apart. However, this move was completely useless to Duanmu Huai. He didn't even mean to dodge, but let the other party hit him.

"Dang---!"

Duanmu Huai stood still like a rock, but the monster screamed and retreated, but Duanmu Huai had already stretched out his fist and punched the monster's body, breaking it in half. Then he grabbed the monster's limbs and swung them violently, breaking the other monster's slender legs. At the moment it fell to the ground, a steel foot suddenly stepped down.

"Bang!"

The monster's limbs trembled, and then there was no reaction.

"Waste."

Duanmu Huai clapped his hands, stood up and continued to move forward. He had heard the sound of running water, which meant that he was getting closer and closer to his destination. If he was right, when he walked past this corner, he would see an underground lake, and in the center of the underground lake there would be a glowing stone.

But all Duanmu Huai saw was darkness.

The sudden darkness could not even penetrate Duanmu Huai's searchlight. It was not until a moment later, when Duanmu Huai saw the deep red flesh and sharp teeth squirming in front of him through the light, that he realized what had happened.

"Damn, what the hell!"

Duanmu Huai roared, stretched out his hand, directly grabbed the other party's mouth that was biting his head, and then pulled it hard. I saw that the rubber-like skin and muscles were torn apart by Duanmu Huai. Soon, a gap was torn in the dark space. Then Duanmu Huai roared and used his hands again to expand the gap. Then he threw the idiot who attacked him to the ground.

It was a snake.

But it looked like it was not just a snake, but more like a fusion of some strange animals. It had a wolf-like head, a snake's body, and even gecko-like feet and tail. It looked extremely weird and twisted. But unfortunately, in front of Duanmu Huai, this twisted mutant monster had no effect. Its head had been torn in half by Duanmu Huai and turned into a pile of flesh and blood lying on the ground.

Then, Duanmu Huai saw the stone that was emitting a shining light.

"Ding ding ding ding ding—————!"

At the same time, the radiation alarm sounded rapidly. It was obvious that the radiation brought by this stone had exceeded the critical value. Fortunately, Duanmu Huai's power armor could completely resist this level of radiation. He walked into the underground lake, came to the side of the stone, and stared at it.

"Where are you from?"

Duanmu Huai didn't believe that this stone was produced locally. It was about one meter high and looked like a semicircular stone, emitting a bright glow like an incandescent lamp. Duanmu Huai remembered that there was such a ore in the game, which was used by certain races to make power systems, but it was relatively backward power source.

Soon, Duanmu Huai found the answer. He found a corpse not far from the ore—a corpse that did not belong to this world.

The reason why Duanmu Huai was so sure was also obvious. No one in this world would walk around in a space suit or space armor.

Except himself.

And this person also fell into the lake at this moment. His cause of death was obvious. From his missing lower body, it can be seen that this deceased should have been attacked by some local monster here, and then torn in half, and then died unlucky, so the stone he brought was easy to explain.

The person who brought it here died, and it was impossible for it to grow legs and run away by itself, right?

But when Duanmu Huai turned the corpse over and saw its swollen, sore-covered face and the blasphemous, ugly marks on its chest, what he got was far more than he imagined.

"The believer of the filth of corruption..."

Staring fiercely at the corpse in front of him, Duanmu Huai gritted his teeth.

"You really ran to a very far place..."
