Chapter 1372: He was injured a lot (I gained weight just from rolling around)

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

You can tell just by looking at the half-dead look on his face lying on the sofa.

"Brother, do you really not want to eat?"

Looking at Duanmu Huai who was lying on the sofa with a hopeless expression, Shajiuye asked uneasily. Duanmuhuai raised his hand and waved weakly.

"You guys go ahead and eat. I have no appetite recently. Let me wait for two more days..."

Watching the TV silently, Duanmu Huai felt sad.

Although as a judge, it was Duanmu Huai's duty to eliminate existences that threatened humanity, but this time... he really felt that he had sacrificed too much.

In order to prevent the monster from escaping, Duanmuhuai had no choice but to directly absorb it completely. After all, only in this way can he completely control this monster and prevent it from running away.

However... the taste is really disgusting!

Duanmu Huai can't forget it now. The smooth, mucusy touch, the softness after one bite, and the disgusting taste and color, it's like eating a lump...

"Uh-huh...!"

Duanmu Huai turned his head tremblingly again and took a big sip of Coke to suppress the vomiting feeling in his throat. Then he took a breath and closed his eyes again.

Duanmu Huai no longer wanted to recall the process of destroying that monster. Duanmu Huai felt like he was lying on a big squirming... uh... uh... chewing and sucking, relying on Qianhou's countless mouths, and he was forced to do it. It devours it completely. Of course, Duanmu Huai himself did not have any special reaction after eating it. His current weak appearance was entirely due to the mental trauma he suffered at that time.

After that, when daybreak, 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 will naturally be cremated directly.

Faced with this scene, the police naturally launched a search, but in fact no one could tell clearly what happened. The testimony provided by the actress could only show that the old professor seemed to have evil intentions, while Duanmu Huai directly made up a half-truth and half-false story to the police. He claimed that the old professor was a cult member and wanted to make some sacrifice here. At the same time, he planted explosives while others were not paying attention, and then finally he blew up the mansion and wanted to bury everyone with him.

As for the comedian and other staff who were driving - well, it can only be said to be an unfortunate accident.

The police were naturally dubious about Duanmu Huai's story, but after investigation, they found no other clues. According to the actress and several other staff members, the old professor did hold a gun in his hand and said a bunch of weird things in the end, which is consistent with Duanmu Huai's testimony.

Therefore, in the end, the police used Duanmu Huai's testimony as the record of the case. As for the old professor's situation, they will continue to follow up the investigation.

Of course, this could be regarded as some information that Duanmu Huai deliberately revealed to the police. He was certain that the old professor probably had some connection with the so-called Light of the Universe sect. If the police follow this clue to investigate, they will definitely bring some trouble to that sect...well, it can be regarded as disgusting to the other party.

After this action, Duanmu Huai can also be convinced that the actions of this Cosmic Light Sect are to awaken or activate those sleeping or sealed old rulers or alien creatures. They hope to make the matter bigger, at least to the point where it becomes overwhelming and beyond control. According to the old professor, it is to allow human beings to no longer be blinded by ignorance, but to open their eyes and witness the truth of the world... Hahaha, to put it nicely, you can also see the truth of the world?

It is true that the ignorant are fearless.

But to be honest, Duanmuhuai thinks this Cosmic Light Sect is a bit stupid. They want to cause trouble so much. Why don't they make a ceremony themselves, and then summon the descendants of the outer gods or the rulers of the old days to come out and run around in the streets? Disturbing people's peace? You said they don't have this ability, they can even lock down the habitat of these monsters. But you think they have this ability, but you can't see it.

After all, even the cultists who believe in evil gods know that they need to protect themselves when summoning those unspeakable monsters, but these guys seem to have no such awareness at all, and are just reckless. It was as if they had no idea that when these monsters woke up, everything around them would be transformed beyond recognition.

Really mentally disturbed.

In animated games, those behind the scenes would be prepared in advance to deal with possible threats if they wanted to summon evil gods or unlock any seals. Of course, in the end, it’s not impossible for you to lose yourself because you didn’t estimate the opponent’s strength, but at least they had this idea and plan.

Instead of being stupid and opening the box without any protection at all.

Isn't this seeking death?

For Duanmuhuai, the misfortune is not that simple. He took another sip of Coke, then silently turned on the system and read the prompts above.

[Detected player swallowing Royger. Essence of the past]

[The essence of the past has been digested]

[Acquire additional special abilities]

[Special ability fusion effect detected]

[Special abilities merged into——Fear Aura]

[The aura of fear obtains additional characteristics—Despair]

[Despair: Within the scope of the effect, all enemies receive a 1D4 penalty on attribute identification, attack, damage, saving throws and skill identifications. It is used as a mental effect and cannot be exempted]

Good guy, my fear aura has strengthened again.

Duanmuhuai sighed silently. He felt that he was quite desperate now.

But once you get used to it, you'll look away.

That's it, what else can be done, you can't eat so much for nothing - uh, let's not talk about it anymore.

I feel sick to my stomach just thinking about it.

"Huh...huh..."

At this moment, the red panda also came over curiously, then jumped up and lay on Duanmuhuai's chest, raising its head and staring at him. Duanmuhuai stretched out his hand and stroked the soft and furry head of the red panda - hey, it turns out that having a cute pet makes you feel happy.

Not to mention the furry little cutie.

"Didi didi..."

Just when Duanmuhuai was obsessed with playing with the red panda, his cell phone rang. Duanmuhuai stretched out his other hand to pick up the phone and answered the call. Soon, Huang Mao's voice came from the other side.

"Hey man, how are you doing?"

"Not very good."

Duanmuhuai yawned silently.

"I'm still recuperating, what can I do?"

"Huh? Have you forgotten? Didn't I mention that the decoration has been completed before? I was planning to ask you to come and take a look!"

"Oh? Is it finished?"

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 Huang Mao hadn't called him, Duanmu Huai would have I really forgot that I even bought a house.

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

Duanmuhuai also got up from the sofa at this moment, then called Shajiuye and Ziyuanji Youzi, and then drove away towards the destination.

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

"Dude, you're here."

"Well, what's wrong? Is there something wrong with the decoration?"

"No, the problem is...hey, forget it, brother, you can see for yourself."

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

This coffee shop B&B converted from a warehouse was originally in LOFT style, with a coffee shop on the first floor and guest rooms on both sides of the second floor. But the cafe occupies the front part and the guest rooms are in the back. So the entire cafe is very large and looks almost like a church.

And this is also the reason why Duanmuhuai was interested in it in the first place.

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

When you push the door open and walk in, what you see is the huge sculpture of a skull, warhammer, and tentacles entangled on the wall. Around the hall are placed sculptures of guards wearing armor and holding swords. Of course, after the change, this place 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 are thinking, brother, why you have to do it like this, but I have to say, it looks really exciting!"

Looking at the decorations in front of him, Huang Mao couldn't help but feel emotional. When he first looked at Duanmuhuai's plan on the design drawing, he felt that he was playing the piano completely randomly, as if he was suffering from a middle school syndrome. But since they paid for it themselves, he couldn't say anything more and could only do what Duanmu Huai asked. It's just that Huang Mao didn't expect that it would actually turn out like this.

Obviously such scary things as skulls should not appear in those luxurious residences, but Duanmuhuai not only specially designed skull patterns, but even the stair railings are made of skulls. Just imagining it makes it feel like a haunted house. .

But what Huang Mao didn't expect was that when he looked at it after it was completed, he found that with the combination of golden and deep red, the skull was not as conspicuous as he thought at all. Instead, it looked like some kind of theme decoration, perfectly matching what was in front of him. The scenes are combined together to create a unique, heavy, sacred and serious beauty.

"Yeah, not bad."

Duanmuhuai 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 master every detail here. Everything that happens around the corner.

Without Duanmuhuai's permission, not even mosquitoes can fly in!

Of course, Duanmuhuai is satisfied, but Shajiuye is not.

"Our room won't look like this, right?"

Shajiuye 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 be in this style.

"Of course not, your room is made according to your style."

"That's good………"

Shajiuye breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Duanmuhuai's answer.

As for Shionji Yuko, she doesn't care about it at all.

The reason - it's very simple.

"Yes, this is the room I want!"

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

Dozens of monitors were arranged in a C shape, directly surrounding the entire bed. Shionji Yuko threw herself onto the bed excitedly, then quickly picked up the remote control placed in front of the table and pressed it to turn on the air conditioner.

"This is all according to your request, but...is it necessary to install so many air conditioners?"

Looking at Ziyuanji Youzi who was starting to debug the system, Duanmuhuai asked doubtfully. Since he is a companion, he naturally has to take good care of Shionji Yuko. When she was renovating the room, Duanmuhuai asked her what she wanted for her room, and this was the request Ziyuanji Youzi made. In addition to the monitor, she also had to install several air conditioners in the room - to be honest, Duanmuhuai couldn't understand it.

Fortunately, this place was originally a coffee shop and has a central air-conditioning system, so it's not particularly troublesome.

"Of course, this way I can start working, don't worry, it will be absolutely fine."

"All right."

Since the son of Ziyuan Temple had sworn to say so, Duanmu Huai would not say anything else.

It depends on how strong this person is.
