Chapter 1372: Seriously injured (getting fat just by rolling around)
For Duanmu Huai, this was the most serious injury he had suffered since he entered this trial.
You can tell from the half-dead look he is now lying on the sofa.
"Brother, are you really not going to eat?"
Looking at Duanmu Huai lying on the sofa with a look of despair, Sha Jiuye asked with some uneasiness. Duanmu Huai raised his hand and waved it weakly.
"You guys eat, I don't have much appetite recently, let me wait for two more days..."
Watching the TV silently, Duanmu Huai felt sad.
Although as a judge, it is Duanmu Huai's duty to eliminate the existence that threatens mankind, but this time... he really feels that he has sacrificed too much.
In order to prevent the monster from escaping, Duanmu Huai had to choose to absorb it directly and completely. After all, only in this way can he completely control the monster and prevent it from running away.
However... the taste is really disgusting!
Duanmu Huai still can't forget the smooth, mucus-covered touch, the softness after biting it, and the disgusting taste and color, just like eating a piece of...
"Ugh...!"
Duanmu Huai turned his head again tremblingly and took a big sip of Coke, which suppressed the vomiting feeling in his throat. Then he took a breath and closed his eyes again.
He didn't want to recall the process of destroying the monster anymore. Duanmu Huai felt like he was lying on a squirming big... Ugh... chewing and sucking, relying on the countless mouths of Qianhou, he swallowed it completely. Of course, Duanmu Huai himself didn't have any special reaction after eating it. His current weak appearance was completely due to the mental trauma he suffered at that time.
After that, when it was dawn, the police also rushed to the mansion - of course, there was nothing left there, and the strange power used by the monster before had completely caused devastating damage to the entire mansion. Fortunately, the unconscious director and actress were not affected and barely escaped. As for the staff in the car... they were cremated directly.
Faced with this scene, the police naturally launched a search, but in fact no one could tell what happened. The testimony provided by the actress only showed that the old professor seemed to be plotting something wrong, and Duanmu Huai directly made up a half-true and half-false story for the police. He claimed that the old professor was a cult member and wanted to make a sacrifice here. At the same time, he placed explosives when others were not paying attention, and then he blew up the mansion in the end to drag everyone to be buried with him.
As for the crosstalk actor and other staff who were driving the car - well, it can only be said to be an unfortunate accident.
The police were naturally skeptical about Duanmu Huai's words, but after investigation, they did not find any other clues. According to the actress and several other staff members, the old professor did hold a gun in his hand and said a lot of strange things, which matched Duanmu Huai's testimony.
Therefore, the police finally used Duanmu Huai's testimony as the case record. As for the situation of the old professor, they will continue to follow up the investigation.
Of course, this is also some information that Duanmu Huai deliberately revealed to the police. He is sure that the old professor is probably related to the so-called Universe Light Sect. If the police follow this clue to investigate, it will definitely cause some trouble to the sect... Well, it's disgusting.
And after this action, Duanmu Huai can also be sure that the actions of the Universe Light Sect are to awaken or activate those sleeping or sealed old rulers or alien creatures. They hope to make things bigger, at least to the point where they can't get out of hand and can't be cleaned up. According to the old professor, it is to let human beings no longer be blinded by ignorance, but open their eyes and witness the truth of this world... Hehe, it sounds good, and you can see the truth of the world?
It is really ignorant and fearless.
But to be honest, Duanmu Huai thinks that the Universe Light Sect is a bit stupid. If they want to cause trouble, why don't they do a ritual and summon a descendant of an alien god or an old ruler? Why do they have to run around the streets and disturb people? You say they don't have this ability, they can even lock the habitat of these monsters. But if you say they have this ability, I can't see it.
After all, even the cultists who believe in evil gods know that they need to protect themselves when summoning those indescribable monsters, but these guys seem to have no such awareness at all, and they just rush in. It seems that they don't know that these monsters will mess up everything around them after waking up.
It's really mentally ill.
In animation games, those behind the scenes will prepare in advance to deal with possible threats when they want to summon evil gods or unlock seals. Of course, there are some who didn't estimate the strength of the opponent and played themselves out, but at least they have this idea and plan.
Instead of opening the box stupidly without any protection.
Isn't this courting death?
For Duanmu Huai, his misfortune was not that simple. He drank another sip of Coke, then silently opened the system and read the prompts above.
[Detected that the player swallowed Lloydger. The Essence of the Old]
[The Essence of the Old has been digested]
[Gained additional special abilities]
[Special ability fusion effect detected]
[Special ability fused to——Fear Aura]
[Fear Aura gains additional trait——Despair]
[Despair: Within the effect range, all enemies receive a 1D4 penalty on attribute identification, attack, damage, immunity and skill identification, used as a mental effect and cannot be exempted]
Good guy, his fear aura has increased again.
Duanmu Huai sighed silently, he felt that he was quite desperate now.
But he got used to it, so he let it go.
That's it, what else can I do, I can't eat so much for nothing——Uh, let's not talk about it.
My stomach feels uncomfortable when I think about it.
"Hum... Hum..."
At this moment, the little panda also came over curiously, then jumped and lay on Duanmu Huai's chest, raised his head and looked at him. Duanmu Huai reached out and stroked the soft and furry head of the little panda——Ah, it turns out that raising a cute pet is a happy mood.
Not to mention the furry little cutie.
"Ding ding ding..."
Just when Duanmu Huai was obsessed with petting the red panda, his cell phone rang. Duanmu Huai stretched out his other hand to pick up the phone and answered the call.
Soon, Huangmao's voice came from the other side.
"Hey, buddy, how are you doing recently?"
"Not very good."
Duanmu Huai yawned silently.
"I'm still recuperating. What's the matter?"
"Hey? Did you forget? Didn't I say that the decoration was completed before? I was just planning to ask you to come and see it!"
"Oh? Completed?"
Hearing this, Duanmu Huai immediately cheered up, because the mental stimulation brought by eating that monster before was so great that Duanmu Huai almost forgot... Well, if Huangmao hadn't called him, Duanmu Huai would really forget that he had bought a house.
"Go! Wait a minute, I'll call them and they'll be there soon."
Duanmu Huai also got up from the sofa at this time, and then called Sakuya and Shionji Yuko, and then drove to the destination.
When Duanmu Huai arrived with two girls, Huangmao had already been waiting there. Looking at Duanmu Huai, his expression was somewhat complicated.
"Brother, you are here."
"Well, what's wrong? Is there any problem with the decoration?"
"No, the problem is... Hey, forget it, brother, you can see it yourself."
As he spoke, Huangmao handed the key to Duanmu Huai, who took the key and opened the door and walked in.
This coffee shop and homestay converted from a warehouse was originally a LOFT style, with a coffee shop on the first floor and guest rooms on both sides of the second floor. However, the coffee shop occupies the front part, and the guest rooms are in the back. So the area of the entire coffee shop is very large, and it looks almost the same as a church.
And this is why Duanmu Huai liked it at the beginning.
As for now... well, the original Italian style has completely disappeared, replaced by the metal skull Gothic style exclusive to the Tribunal.
Pushing the door and walking in, what you see is the huge skull and hammer and tentacles entangled carvings on the wall. Around the hall are guard sculptures with full armor and long swords in hand. Of course, after the change, it feels more like a reception room with a coffee shop, but the metal, dark, and depressing style around it is really unbearable.
"To be honest, I don't know what you think, brother, why you have to make it like this, but I have to say, it looks really exciting!"
Looking at the furnishings and decorations in front of him, Huangmao couldn't help but sigh. At first, when he saw Duanmu Huai's plan on the design drawing, he felt that it was completely nonsense, just like a middle school disease. But people paid for it themselves, and he couldn't say much, so he could only do it according to Duanmu Huai's requirements. But Huangmao didn't expect that it would turn out like this.
Obviously, something as scary as a skull shouldn't appear in those luxurious houses, and Duanmu Huai not only specially designed the skull pattern, but even the stair handrails are made of skulls. Just imagining it feels like a haunted house.
But what Huangmao didn't expect was that after the real completion, he found that the skull was not as conspicuous as he thought under the combination of golden and crimson. Instead, it was like some kind of theme decoration, perfectly matched with the scene in front of him, and integrated together, creating a unique, heavy, sacred and serious beauty.
"Well, it's okay."
Duanmu Huai glanced around and nodded with satisfaction. He could feel that his old power had completely wrapped this place. It can be said that this house is now an extension of Duanmu Huai's will. Thanks to the ubiquitous skull badges, Duanmu Huai can easily grasp everything that happens in every corner here.
Without Duanmu Huai's permission, even mosquitoes can't fly in!
Of course, Duanmu Huai is satisfied, but not so for Sha Jiuye.
"Will our room be like this too?"
Sha Jiuye looked at the hall in front of her with some embarrassment. Although this feeling is not unacceptable, as a girl, she doesn't want her bedroom to be in this style.
"Of course not, your room is designed according to your style."
"That's good......"
Hearing Duanmu Huai's answer, Sha Jiuye breathed a sigh of relief.
As for Shionji Yuko, she didn't care about it at all.
The reason is very simple.
"Yes, this is the room I want!"
Opening the door of the bedroom and looking at the room inside, Yuko Shionji shouted excitedly and jumped in. This room is not big, and even the decoration is very simple. There is only a huge double bed in the middle. Then around this double bed, the tables and walls on both sides are full of monitors!
Dozens of monitors are arranged in a C shape, directly surrounding the entire bed. Yuko Shionji excitedly threw herself on the bed, then quickly picked up the remote control on the table and turned on the air conditioner.
"This is all according to your requirements, but... Is it necessary to install so many air conditioners?"
Looking at Yuko Shionji who started to debug the system, Duanmu Huai asked in confusion. Since they are companions, he naturally has to take good care of Yuko Shionji. When decorating, Duanmu Huai asked her what she needed for her room, and Yuko Shionji's request was this. In addition to the monitor, she also wants to install several air conditioners in the room-to be honest, Duanmu Huai can't understand.
Fortunately, this was originally a coffee shop with a central air conditioning system, so it is not particularly troublesome.
"Of course, this way I can also start working, don't worry, it will be absolutely fine."
"Okay."
Since Ziyuan Temple Yuko said so confidently, Duanmu Huai would not say anything else.
It depends on how strong this person is.
