Chapter 1372: Seriously injured (getting fat just by rolling around)

For Duanmu Huai, this was the most serious injury he had ever suffered since entering this trial.

You can tell from the way he is lying half-dead on the sofa.

"Brother, are you really not going to eat?"

Looking at Duanmu Huai lying on the sofa with a look of despair on his face, 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 days..."

Watching TV silently, Duanmu Huai felt sad.

Although as an inquisitor, it is Duanmu Huai's duty to eliminate the existence that threatens humanity, but this time... he really feels that he has made too great a sacrifice.

In order to prevent the monster from escaping, Duanmu Huai had to choose to absorb it completely. After all, only in this way could 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, slimy touch, the softness when bitten, and the disgusting taste and color. It was as if he had eaten a piece of...

“Ugh…!”

Duanmu Huai turned his head again tremblingly and took a big sip of Coke, which suppressed the nausea in his throat. Then he took a breath and closed his eyes again.

I don't want to recall the process of destroying the monster anymore. Duanmu Huai felt like he was lying on a squirming giant... oooo... 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 daybreak, the police also rushed to the mansion. Of course, there was nothing left there. The strange power used by the monster had completely destroyed the entire mansion. Fortunately, the unconscious director and actress were not affected and barely escaped. As for the staff in the car, they were naturally cremated.

Faced with this situation, the police naturally launched a search, but in fact no one could tell what had happened. The testimony provided by the actress only showed that the old professor seemed to be plotting something bad, while Duanmu Huai directly made up a half-true and half-false story for the police, claiming that the old professor was a cult member who wanted to make a sacrifice here. At the same time, he placed explosives when no one was paying attention, and then he blew up the mansion in the end to bury everyone with him.

As for the crosstalk artist who was driving and the other staff members—well, it can only be said that it was an unfortunate accident.

The police were naturally skeptical of Duanmu Huai's statement, 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 was also some information Duanmu Huai deliberately revealed to the police. He was sure that the old professor had some connection with the so-called Universe Light Sect. If the police followed this clue to investigate, they would definitely bring some trouble to the sect... well, it would be a bit disgusting.

  After this action, Duanmu Huai can be sure that the actions of the Universe Light Sect are to awaken or activate those dormant or sealed Old Ones or alien creatures. They hope to make things bigger, at least to the point where they are out of control and cannot be cleared up. According to the old professor, it is to make human beings no longer blinded by ignorance, but to open their eyes and witness the truth of this world... Hehe, it sounds good, but you can also see the truth of the world?

It is true that ignorance is fearless.

But to be honest, Duanmu Huai felt that the Universe Light Sect was a bit stupid. If they wanted to cause trouble, why didn't they do a ritual and summon a descendant of an Outer God or an Old One? Why did they have to run around the streets and disturb people? You say they don't have the ability, they can even locate the habitats of these monsters. But if you say they have the ability, you can't see it.

After all, even the cultists who believed in the evil god knew that they needed to protect themselves when summoning those unspeakable monsters, but these guys seemed to have no such awareness at all and just rushed forward. It was as if they had no idea that these monsters would destroy everything around them beyond recognition after waking up.

He really has mental problems.

In anime and 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 cases where they fail to estimate the opponent's strength and end up in trouble, but at least they have this idea and plan.

Instead of opening the box stupidly without any protection.

Isn't this courting death?

But 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 consumed Lloiger Essence of the Old Ones]

【The Essence of the Old Days Has Been Digested】

[Gain additional special abilities]

[Special ability fusion effect detected]

[Special Ability Fusion—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. It is used as a mental effect and cannot be exempted.]

Oh my god, my fear aura has grown stronger again.

Duanmu Huai sighed silently. He felt quite desperate now.

But once you get used to it, you'll move on from it.

That's it, what else can I do? I can't eat so much for nothing—uh, I'd better not say anything more.

My stomach feels uncomfortable just thinking about it.

“Hmph…Hmph…”

At this moment, the red panda also came over curiously, then jumped and lay on Duanmu Huai's chest, looking up at him. Duanmu Huai reached out and stroked the red panda's soft and furry head - hey, it's true that raising a cute pet is a joy.

Not to mention the furry little cuties.

"Didi didi..."

Just when Duanmu Huai was obsessed with petting the red panda, his cell phone rang. Duanmu Huai reached out his other hand to pick up the phone and answered the call. Soon, Huangmao's voice came from the other end.

"Hey, man, how are you doing?"

"not so good."

Duanmu Huai yawned silently.

"I'm still recuperating. What's the matter?"

"Hey? Did you forget? Didn't we talk about the renovation earlier? It's already finished. I was just planning to ask you to come and take a look!"

"Oh? Finished?"

Hearing this, Duanmu Huai immediately perked up, because the mental stimulation brought by eating the monster before was so great that Duanmu Huai almost forgot... Well, if Huangmao hadn't called him, Duanmu Huai would really have forgotten that he had bought a house.

"Go! Wait a minute, I'll call them and they'll be there soon."

Duanmu Huai also climbed up from the sofa at this time, and then called Sakuya and Shionji Ariko, and then drove towards the destination.

When Duanmu Huai arrived with the two girls, Huangmao was already waiting there. Looking at Duanmu Huai, his expression was somewhat complicated.

"Here you are, buddy."

"Well, what's wrong? Any problems with the decoration?"

"No, the problem is... Oh, never mind, you can figure it out yourself."

As he spoke, Huangmao handed the key to Duanmu Huai, who took the key, opened the door and walked in.

This cafe-bedroom converted from a warehouse was originally a loft-style building, with a cafe on the first floor and guest rooms on both sides of the second floor. However, the cafe occupies the front part, and the guest rooms are in the back. Therefore, the entire cafe is very large and looks almost like a church.

And this is also the reason why Duanmu Huai liked it in the first place.

As for now... well, the original Italian style has completely disappeared, replaced by the metal skeleton Gothic style exclusive to the Inquisition.

When you push the door and walk in, you will see the huge skull, war hammer and tentacles on the wall. There are guards in full armor and holding swords around the hall. 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 were thinking, bro. Why did you have to do it like this? But I have to say, it looks really cool!"

Looking at the decorations in front of him, Huang Mao 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 student. But since the other party paid for it himself, he couldn't say much and could only do it according to Duanmu Huai's requirements. But Huang Mao didn't expect that it would turn out like this.

Obviously, something as horrifying as a skull should not appear in those luxurious residences, but Duanmu Huai not only specially designed a skull pattern, but even the stair railings were made of skulls. Just imagining it makes it feel like a haunted house.

However, what Huangmao didn't expect was that after it was completed, he found that with the combination of golden yellow and crimson, the skull was not as conspicuous as he had thought. Instead, it looked like some kind of theme decoration, perfectly matching and blending with the scene in front of him, creating a unique, heavy, sacred and solemn beauty.

"Yeah, not bad."

Duanmu Huai glanced around and nodded with satisfaction. He could feel that his old power had completely enveloped this place. It could be said that this house was an extension of Duanmu Huai's will. Thanks to the ubiquitous skull badges, Duanmu Huai could easily grasp everything that happened in every corner of this place.

  Without Duanmu Huai's permission, not even a mosquito can fly in!

Of course, it was satisfactory for Duanmu Huai, but not for Sha Jiuye.

"Wouldn't our room be like this too?"

Sha Jiuye looked at the hall in front of her with some embarrassment. Although this feeling was not unacceptable, as a girl, she did not want her bedroom to have this style.

"Of course not. Your room is designed to suit your style."

"That's good……………"

Hearing Duanmu Huai's answer, Sha Jiuye breathed a sigh of relief.

As for Shionji having a son, she doesn't care about that at all.

The reason is very simple.

"Yes, this is the room I want!"

Opening the bedroom door and looking at the room inside, Shionji Yuko shouted excitedly and jumped in. The room was not big, and even the decoration was simple, with only a huge double bed in the middle. Then around the double bed, the tables on both sides and the walls were filled with monitors!

Dozens of monitors were placed in a C shape, 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 in accordance with your request, but... is it necessary to install so many air conditioners?"

Duanmu Huai asked in confusion as he watched Ziyuanji Youzi start debugging the system. Since they were companions, he naturally had to take good care of Ziyuanji Youzi. When she was renovating the room, Duanmu Huai had asked her what she wanted for her room, and this was what Ziyuanji Youzi asked. In addition to the monitor, she also wanted to install several air conditioners in the room - to be honest, Duanmu Huai couldn't understand it.

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 start working too. Don't worry, it will be absolutely fine."

"Ok."

Since Ziyuan Temple Youzi said so with such confidence, Duanmu Huai would not say anything else.

It depends on how strong this person is.
