"I...I'm not dreaming, am I?"

The idol detective was still a detective after all, and did not faint directly like the victim, but even so, she stood beside Duanmu Huai, staring uneasily at the pile of human skins on the ground in front of her, with a look of disbelief on her face. .

"Do you think you're dreaming?"

"Frankly speaking, I would rather think that I was dreaming. What was that just now?"

"It's not important. What's important is that we have to go back!"

"Go back? Ah...that's right!"

Hearing Duanmu Huai's words, the idol detective was stunned for a moment, and suddenly remembered that the food detective went to the boy's home to investigate. And now the boy has turned into this... I don't know what kind of monster he is, but what about his family?

"Shouldn't we call the police?"

"Are you serious?"

Duanmu Huai bent down, picked up the human skin and stuffed it into a random pocket. At the same time, he looked at the idol detective as if he were a fool. The latter was stunned for a moment and spread his hands helplessly.

"I'm just saying it."

The idol detective is not stupid. Now she knows that the police station in this city is as penetrated as a sieve, so if she goes to the police to call the police, she is simply throwing herself into a trap.

"So what does she do?"

"Just stay here. When she wakes up, she will probably just think she had a nightmare."

"That's fine."

The idol detective glanced at the unconscious girl who had fallen on the ground with a complicated look, but didn't say anything more and just sighed. Then he and Duanmu Huai left the alley.

"Buzz...buzz..."

There was a noisy sound in his ears. The food detective slowly opened his eyes and looked at the dim ceiling in front of him. He couldn't figure out what happened to him for a while.

"Ugh...what happened..."

The food detective shook his head and began to remember desperately. I remember that after that, I went to the boy's home with the girl with glasses and met his parents. I pretended to be a school teacher and came to visit my home, then drank tea and chatted, and then... Wow, damn, what on earth is going on?

The food detective also came to his senses at this time. He wanted to get up, but found that he was tied up at the moment. At the same time, a dull voice sounded from not far away. The food detective subconsciously turned his head to look, and then his eyes widened in surprise.

What the hell is going on?

Looking at the scene in front of him, the food detective was stunned for a moment. Not far from him, he saw two twisted and weird objects entangled together. Their bodies looked like humans, but they were not human at all. Thick, huge tentacles came out of the mouths of these two monsters, and their limbs turned into shapes like soft squids. Between the two monsters, the girl with glasses has been entangled in layers of tentacles. The sailor uniform on her body had been torn into pieces, and her fair skin was entangled with ugly tentacles that were like filthy condensation.

At this moment, the girl with glasses was rolled up by the tentacles and floated in the air, her head tilted back, her eyes dull. The petite body couldn't help but tremble with the movements of the tentacles. But it wasn't like a resistance, it was more like the body's natural reaction when invaded by a foreign object.

The girl with glasses in front of her was like a doll that had completely lost its self-awareness and could only be at the mercy of others.

"You, what are you doing! Let her go quickly!"

Seeing this scene, the gourmet detective suddenly felt angry. The anger overshadowed the unspeakable fear, causing him to stare at the two monsters and yell at them. When they heard the roar of the food detective, the two monsters paused for a moment, then turned their heads and looked towards the food detective.

"Ugh..."

Although before that, the food detective's anger overshadowed his fear, but when these two monsters that looked like humans but were not human turned their attention to him, the instinctive fear suddenly made the food detective involuntarily close his mouth. . It was as if he were facing two ferocious and furious beasts. Even the slightest sound would stimulate the other party to attack.

"………………"

The two monsters didn't speak, but their tentacles turned around and probed towards the food detective.

"Ugh...damn it!"

Seeing the sticky, smooth tentacles coming towards him, the food detective's face tightened, and he struggled desperately to break free. However, his body was tightly tied to the chair, and there was no way to break free. At this moment, the food detective saw one of the monster's tentacles swing towards him like a whip, and then hit him directly!

This blow made the food detective feel as if he was hit head-on by a truck. He flew backwards, hit the wall and collapsed to the ground. He could only watch helplessly as the tentacles reached towards him - as if they were aware of the fear and despair in the food detective's heart, the two monsters let out a hissing, weird and twisted, sharp laugh. The only thing the food detective can do at this moment is to open his eyes wide, grit his teeth, and stare at the tentacles exuding a foul smell - that is his last stubbornness as a human being.

However, just when the food detective was about to despair, there was a loud "bang" outside, which not only surprised the food detective, but also the two monsters stopped their actions and turned their heads in surprise. Then, a huge figure like a beast appeared from the corridor, roaring and rushing towards the two strange monsters!

It was none other than Duanmu Huai!

"Hiss————!"

Seeing Duanmu Huai's appearance, the two tentacle monsters also roared angrily, waving their tentacles quickly and hitting Duanmu Huai.

"Go to hell!"

Facing the tentacles that were enough to whip the food detective away, Duanmu Huai didn't care at all. He just stretched out his hand to grab the whipping tentacles, and pulled them hard, directly pulling the two monsters to the ground. Then he raised his foot and stepped on them hard!

"Puff!"

The next moment, the two monsters were crushed into pieces by Duanmu Huai, and then disappeared in the shadows on the ground.

"………………………………

Seeing this scene, the food detective was completely dumbfounded. He stared at the scene in front of him blankly, wondering if he was dreaming.

"Are you okay?"

Just then, the idol detective also rushed over and helped the food detective up, and then the food detective seemed to come back to his senses.

After that, the situation came to an end.

The two monsters were completely destroyed by Duanmu Huai. On the ground, Duanmu Huai found two broken human skins. Although he didn't know who they were, it looked like the boy's parents.

As for the girl with glasses...

"It's really troublesome."

Looking at the girl lying on the bed in front of him, who had completely lost consciousness like a doll, Duanmu Huai stretched out his hand and scratched his head helplessly. Duanmu Huai had already obtained the results of her situation through detection. It can be said that the SAN value has been reset to zero, and she has completely lost her self-awareness, which is basically no different from a madman.

There is no way, it seems that he has to try that trick.

Duanmu Huai looked around. He was in the bedroom on the second floor. Duanmu Huai just told the two that he wanted to rescue the girl with glasses, so he brought her here. The idol detective was bandaging the food detective below. It was good to have thick skin and flesh. It was okay to be beaten like this. If it was a thin person, his ribs might be broken in one go.

It seems that fat is still good.

As for the girl in front of him...

Duanmu Huai stretched out his hand, and a flash of light appeared with a "click". In the shadow beside Duanmu Huai, a girl's figure emerged.

"Master."

"She has no way, so you can replace her."

Duanmu Huai looked at the glasses girl who had completely lost consciousness in front of him and said coldly. After the shadow is created, as long as the shadow kills the main body, she can replace the main body and become the real person. Duanmu Huai had never used this ability before, but now it seems that there is no other solution.

Hearing Duanmu Huai's order, the shadow lowered his head.

"Yes."

"Then I leave it to you."

After saying this, Duanmu Huai turned and left, leaving the shadow in the bedroom.

When Duanmu Huai came to the living room on the first floor, the idol detective had already finished communicating with the food detective. Seeing Duanmu Huai appear, the food detective stood up hurriedly.

"How is the child?"

"It's okay, let her rest for a while."

Duanmu Huai silently glanced at the stairs, and then answered.

"Really... That's good."

Hearing Duanmu Huai's answer, the food detective breathed a sigh of relief, and then sat down on the sofa again, holding his head tightly with both hands.

"Is this true? Although I don't want to say it, I didn't take any drugs and had hallucinations."

"You may have taken drugs, but I definitely didn't."

The idol detective looked at the two tattered human skins in front of him with a pale face, and at the same time did not forget to complain about the food detective.

"I'll see if you dare to eat anything casually in the future."

"……………………"

Facing the idol detective's complaints, the food detective also lowered his head. Strictly speaking, it was indeed that he was not very vigilant, otherwise he would not have been drugged by the other party.

"By the way, what on earth is that? It should be... a monster, right? Not a ghost or something?"

As she spoke, the idol detective also showed a fearful expression.

It seems that she is the type who is not afraid of monsters but ghosts.

"That's a Shoggoth."

Duanmu Huai was not interested in pretending to be a riddler here, and gave the answer directly.

"It is a very ancient creature. I didn't expect them to appear here."

"Hey? Do you know what that monster is?"

"Of course."

Facing the idol detective's question, Duanmu Huai shrugged his shoulders.

"Dealing with these monsters is my main job, and solving any murder case is incidental. In other words, if it is not a murder case caused by these monsters, I don't bother to care."

"So, there are really such monsters in this world... Forget it, it's useless to say these now."

The food detective took a breath and came back to his senses. The idol detective frowned, looking uneasy.

"Things are not that simple, or things are worse than we thought!"

"Really?"

"That's right."

Faced with the inquiry of the food detective, the idol detective nodded, and then explained to the food detective what she and Duanmu Huai had seen at the KTV.

"Now we can almost know why the boy ran back in panic that day. Obviously, he went to the social gathering and made friends with the girl opposite. When the two were planning to get intimate in private, the girl tried to use this method to infect the boy."

"So at that time, the boy ran to his childhood sweetheart's house in panic... So this is the reason."

The food detective also nodded, sorted out his thoughts, and then his face changed slightly.

"Wait, then he suddenly went crazy in school the next day, what happened? Could it be that he found that the school also..."

At this point, the food detective and the idol detective looked at each other in horror, and they might understand why the boy went crazy!

To be fair, if they encountered such a thing themselves, they would definitely want to go to a crowded place for safety. After all, as far as we can see now, this kind of monster will only attack others in places with few people, not in places with many people. Therefore, it is safer to stay with a group of people than to stay alone.

However, what if he finds that the whole class has turned into that kind of monster, and only he has not changed?

"No, no?"

The food detective swallowed his saliva.

"Maybe he just had a nightmare because of excessive shock..."

"But if that's the case, why do the students over there say that it is..."

"Okay, it's useless for you to guess these nonsense here."

Duanmu Huai interrupted the two detectives' self-scared reasoning.

"No risk, no gain. Let's go directly to the real owner and we will know what's going on!"

"The real owner?"

"Go to the mental hospital, now!"

Duanmu Huai gave a direct answer.

"There must be something wrong with that place!"
