Chapter 489: Trainee Investigator

In this world, there are such a group of people, they are all over the world, with various identities, from gangsters, liars, reporters, hooligans to students, university professors, archaeologists, businessmen, rich people and even detectives, soldiers, policemen...

Their career span covers almost any profession you can imagine in the world. These people are men and women, old and young, all over the world. They are not members of a certain organization, nor do they believe in the same religion. , not to mention the same beliefs.

And these people have only one thing in common—that is, because of some kind of coincidence or intentional or unintentional contact, they once discovered the indescribable, frightening and trembling existence hidden in this world, on the other side of the universe. Faced with the terrifying threat that would break down the spirits of mortals, bowing their knees to pray for destruction, they mustered up the courage to face the indescribable threat and fear, and defeated the attempts to plunge mankind and the world into chaos and destruction time and time again. conspiracy.

They are the world's greatest unsung heroes --- investigators.

According to the setting of this world, this is the case.

How many government departments in this world know something about this situation, and in fact they are also secretly studying this indescribable threat. Of course, they do not recognize such existence to the outside world. After all, once this kind of thing really explodes, it will only cause social panic.

Logically speaking, at this time, just like in movies or comics, a special organization should be set up to deal with it—such as the men in black or something. However, this is not the case in fact. In fact, the logic is very simple - the government does not recognize their existence, so of course it is impossible to set up an organization to study or crusade against these monsters, otherwise it is equivalent to acknowledging their existence?

By the same token, in this way, it is impossible for public officials to deal with these problems. It's like everyone knows that jumping to the gods is a feudal superstition, so it's a reason why you can't let government employees dance to the gods.

However, this threat does exist, so how to deal with it?

At this time, the investigators appeared.

Basically, according to the setting of this world, as long as someone is lucky (or not) encountered similar things, and finally managed to get out of it, then they will call the police nine times out of ten. And if the police arrive at the scene and find that it is true, then they will invite these "survivors" to become investigators.

To put it bluntly, from the perspective of the government, the so-called investigator is more like the role of an outsider/temporary employee of the police department.

This is actually no way.

After all, look at what investigators do.

You go to a small town to investigate a mysterious disappearance, find a house suspicious, and pick the lock to get in.

Then traces were found inside, and then the safe was opened by picking the lock, and the documents inside were found.

Then he found a secret room in the wall and smashed the wall directly.

The unspeakable monster was alarmed, and the house was burned down with a fire in order to avoid accidents.

Good guy, smash, loot and burn a dragon, right?

This will also involve the kidnapping of living sacrifices. When the police dispatched to arrest people, they would go crazy in court on the spot. Without a search warrant, you dared to sneak in and pick the lock, and even beat up my house. Is this how you handle the case? Is this evidence legal?

Of course it's not legal.

But what about the other way around?

If you want to say that a thief went to steal other people’s things, got into someone’s house, found drugs hidden inside, and then found out with his conscience that he brought drugs to the police station to report that someone was selling and hiding drugs, then it’s none of my police’s business, right?

After all, it wasn't the police who stole it!

Since someone reported the crime, wouldn't the police have a reason to search the house?

As for the thief, wouldn't that be a crime?

The investigator here plays the role of a "thief".

This is also the reason why investigators have to collect all the clues for every mission. After all, this is part of the legal evidence. As long as the evidence is sufficient, the investigators can open the door no matter whether it is sneaking doors, picking locks or killing people and setting fires. It's a crime.

But if the evidence is insufficient... um... then I'm sorry, I can only arrest you as a wanted criminal.

This is another reason why investigators will not become members of government functional departments. As long as you are an "outsider", what you do and how you do it has nothing to do with the government, nor is it ordered by the government, nor is it allowed by the government to do so. , everything is done by yourself...

Because of this, investigators are often just a title. Because you have nothing to do with the government, of course it is impossible for you to get any special allowances, and it is impossible for the government to pay you five social insurances and one housing fund, and there is no establishment... Not only that, if something weird happens, the police will first The first idea is probably to ask you to deal with it.

Well, there is a high probability that it will send you into the tiger's mouth.

Of course, investigators are not just temporary workers who are used to take the blame. On the one hand, becoming an investigator is equivalent to giving you a green channel for PY transactions with the police. If you set it on fire, there is a high probability that you will be released on bail the same day and go home to sleep.

On the other hand, after becoming an investigator, you will be sponsored by an organization called the "Foundation". After all, they are a non-governmental organization on the surface... Doesn't this have nothing to do with the government?

In fact, on the second day Duanmuhuai returned home, a blank letter appeared in the mailbox, and there were only two pieces of paper in it.

One of them is a card with Duanmu Huai's name and a big "D" logo written on it.

Another one has a website address written on it.

Duanmu Huai silently turned on the computer, entered the URL, and then entered the foundation's website.

Well, on the surface, this seems to be a pure charity foundation website, and most of the content in it is about charity assistance. Only after you enter your name and number to log in, the entire foundation will show its truest side in front of you.

but……………

"It's useless..."

Looking at the list in front of him, Duanmuhuai couldn't help complaining. This interface belongs to the foundation's "welfare" for internal personnel. Simply put, it is based on the points obtained by the evidence and exhibits brought back by each investigator after settlement, which can be exchanged for some corresponding items on this website.

Of course, there are all kinds of things on it, including houses, vehicles, weapons, vehicles and the like. It's just that Duanmuhuai is still a D-level personnel, so his exchange list is just some ordinary things.

As for reality anchors, Kant counters and so on, he doesn't need to think about it at this level.

After all, it is a D-class personnel (Tan Shou).

For Duanmuhuai, the most important thing right now is naturally the weapon.

For ordinary investigators, the basic standard weapons are daggers, revolvers, or knives. After all, these things are portable and easy to use. But this was not the case for Duanmuhuai, firearms were basically useless to him, his shooting skills were too poor, and with Duanmuhuai's palm, ordinary guns in his hands were like children's toy guns.

You can choose the weapon, but the problem is... What kind of weapon does Duanmuhuai take out, aren't they all very ostentatious ones?

Big sword? Hammer? Can you carry this thing on the street? This is not a fantasy world...

Fortunately, Mu Huai eventually found a weapon.

That is the cane.

In fact, there is a similar weapon in the game, called the sword stick, which is simply a sword in the shape of a cane. On weekdays, it is just an ordinary gentleman's cane, but as long as I hold the handle and pull it up, I can pull out the sharp blade hidden inside.

This thing is very popular in the game. Many players like to wear suits and leather shoes, and then pretend to be aggressive with a cane and sword.

After all, this thing looks like it can be pretended, and it can also be played, right?

However, if Duanmu Huai wanted to do it, it was naturally impossible to use this kind of ordinary cane sword. This thing is almost like a toothpick in his hand, and it is a joke to take it out.

But...he can order one himself!

There is no need to put any sword blades in it, and there is no need for any mechanisms. Just let someone use steel to forge a solid black steel cane. Isn't this problem solved?

With the height of Duanmuhuai, a cane is basically more than 2 meters long, and none of them can weigh dozens of hundreds of kilograms. The head of the cane is carved into the shape of an eagle's beak. , 100 kilograms hit, he wants to see who can stop the blow?

A big man wants to drive a big car and shoot a big shot with a big stick. What's wrong with that? !

Oh, yes, and the car......

After returning home, Duanmu Huai directly asked the maid to send the heavy truck to be refitted. The MMP thing is simply a container for transporting lions and tigers, how can people sit there! At least let someone modify it so that it can be seated, right? Even if you are a little bigger, you can't just throw an empty container at yourself, why don't you play me?

For the refitting company, this job also surprised them, especially after meeting Duan Muhuai, they immediately felt that this might be the most difficult job since they opened.

But for the sake of money, they still bit the bullet and agreed to Duanmuhuai's request, and began to modify the heavy truck and container.

Of course, it will take time, and during this time, Duanmuhuai does not intend to be idle.

The so-called coming is here, if you don't ask him for trouble, he can find trouble!

So Duanmu Huai quickly set his sights on a place where players would go to visit after they came to this world.

That is the same area as Arkham City, a well-known, popular, treasured place that players flock to.

Innsmouth.
