After that, the girl with glasses also walked down from the bedroom on the second floor - of course, she is no longer the original her, or in other words, she is the original her, well... in short, in the final analysis, it is still her.

The two detectives naturally knew nothing about this. They sent the very depressed girl with glasses back home, and then drove to the mental hospital again.

Along the way, the three of them also determined the situation through the intelligence they exchanged with each other.

"So far, it seems like that monster has the ability to control others?"

Facing the idol detective's inquiry, Duanmu Huai also shook his head in confusion.

"The Shoggoths of the original body can directly metamorphose into anything, including humans. It does not need to wear human skin like this. Of course, maybe the Shoggoths here are different. The specific situation is still unknown. It’s hard to say.”

"Damn it, doesn't this monster have any weaknesses?"

The food detective clenched his fist angrily and smashed it, while Duanmuhuai thought for a moment.

"That's not entirely true. Shoggoths are a little clumsy at imitating humans, and once they are angered or stimulated, they will return to their original state. Of course, these are just data records, and you will only know how they work if you actually try them."

"In other words, that hospital transplanted this monster called Shoggoth into the patient's body, and the Shoggoth controlled these patients and made them look like they had completely recovered. So after these patients were discharged, they would go to Find other targets to launch attacks and increase your companions this way?”

As he spoke, the idol detective shuddered.

"Why does it feel like the plot of a third-rate European and American horror movie?"

"This kind of plot is only called third-rate if it appears in movies. In reality, you will feel better."

Duanmuhuai complained while sending text messages on his mobile phone.

"So, this monster called Shoggoth is the culprit of all this?"

"No, the Shoggoths are just being manipulated by the mastermind behind the scenes, I'm sure of that."

"Why?"

Hearing Duanmuhuai's answer, the two detectives were quite surprised.

"Why?"

"Because the intelligence of the Shoggoths themselves is limited, and they actually have no goal in doing what they do. But the problem is that these **** are responsive to requests. Anyone who has the means to find and control them can summon and manipulate these things through various means. Do things for yourself.”

Having said this, Duanmu Huai shook his head helplessly.

"This can't be the hometown of Shoggoth, so it must have been summoned or awakened by something. The guy hiding behind is our target."

"It's actually like this..."

Hearing Duanmuhuai's answer, the two detectives fell silent for a while, while Duanmuhuai continued to send text messages. The target he sent was none other than the shadow of his previous transformation.

The order Duanmu Huai gave her was very simple, that is, find the students in the school who are controlled by Shoggoths, kill them all, and then replace them with shadows!

In fact, Duanmuhuai's shadow also has the ability to change. He can split countless shadows, and then let these shadows scan other people, and then change into the appearance of the other person. Of course, if the other party is alive, then these shadows can only exist for a maximum of seven days, and they will turn into mud after seven days. And if the shadow kills the person who is the prototype, then the shadow can exist forever instead of that person.

This is the case with the girl with glasses. When the shadow kills the girl with glasses, she has already become the girl with glasses herself.

Moreover, although they look no different from ordinary people on the outside, shadows are actually very powerful. They can move at will through the shadows, and their speed and reaction capabilities are far beyond ordinary people. Not only that, the shadow's body, as the name suggests, is actually the shadow under their feet.

Take the girl with glasses as an example. If a policeman shoots the girl with glasses, the bullet will only pass through her body and will not cause any harm to her. In turn, only the shadow hitting the bespectacled girl's feet will really hurt her. Because that is the true body, and the person that humans see is actually the shadow.

Because of this, Duanmuhuai is not worried at all about whether his shadow can beat the Shoggoth. Everyone is indifferent. If the Shoggoth cannot find the weakness of the shadow, and the shadow can hide in the shadow, it will kill with one strike. , it can almost be said to be a sure kill.

Well, the only problem is that Shoggoths have a long health bar and are not easy to kill.

It is precisely because of the terrifying characteristics of shadow that Duanmu Huai has never used it much. But the situation is different now. Considering that the Shoggoths have begun to multiply and divide in this city, Duanmuhuai has no choice but to fight fire with fire. Use the shadow to scan the person controlled by the Shoggoth, then generate a clone to kill the main body, and then replace the main body to find other targets.

Of course, if the situation gets out of control, then Duanmu Huai wouldn't mind having a competition to see whether the shadows will replace all the humans in the city first, or the Shoggoths will infect all the humans in the city first.

Maybe it will end up being a shadow man vs. shoggoth... What kind of monster movie is this?

All in all, let’s experiment first, starting from school.

"arrive."

Just as Duanmuhuai gave the order to the girl with glasses on his mobile phone, the car also stopped. Everyone turned around and saw that under the dark night, the entire mental hospital was dark, with only the dim light at the gate. .

"What's next?"

Looking at the dark mental hospital in front of him, the idol detective clenched the steering wheel uneasily.

"Should we sneak in? Frankly speaking, I don't think this is a good idea. If this is the base camp of that monster, who knows how many more..."

"No need to infiltrate."

Duanmuhuai opened the car door, strode out, and straightened his clothes.

"Let's go right in!"

"Why?!"

Hearing Duanmu Huai's words, both the food detective and the idol detective were surprised.

"Wait a minute, we don't have a search warrant!"

"In this way, even if we find any evidence, the judge will not use it!"

"evidence?"

Duanmuhuai turned to look at the two of them in confusion.

"Are you planning to put a shoggoth in the courtroom for everyone to see?"

"Well………"

Upon hearing Duanmu Huai's question, the two of them were speechless and didn't know what to say for a while.

"Then what are you..."

"We just go in, find the core, destroy it, and leave!"

"Is it really okay? What if the other party calls the police?"

"Don't worry."

Duanmu Huai raised his phone and waved it at the two of them.

"I'm ready, do you want to come?"

"…………"

Hearing Duanmu Huai's words, the two looked at each other, and then the food detective moved his fat body out of the car and took out a revolver.

"I'm also a detective. Now that I've encountered something like this, I can't just sit idly by." "Haah..."

The idol detective sighed silently and got out of the car.

"I am a pure idol, violence is prohibited."

While complaining in a low voice, Duanmu Huai saw her reach out her hand and pull out a leather whip from her waist.

Pure?

"If there were cameras here, I would never use them."

Sensing Duanmu Huai looking at him, the idol detective explained, while the gourmet detective laughed.

"Of course, given your age, wearing a sailor suit and holding a whip is too much."

"Please don't bring this up again!"

Speaking of which, how old is this idol detective? At least on the surface, she seems to be about a high school student. Of course, it is not ruled out that some people are born with tender faces. Plus, she wears a sailor suit... Forget it, this has nothing to do with me, right?

"Take this."

Duanmu Huai stretched out his hand, took out two holy emblems from his arms and threw them to the two of them.

"What is this? It feels so tasteless."

"This thing can protect you from being attacked by Shoggoths."

Duanmuhuai ignored the idol detective's complaints and spoke directly.

"Of course, this is not invincible. It just prevents the Shoggoths from trying to get into your body and control you. So you have to be careful. If you lose it, you will be the unlucky ones."

Hearing Duanmu Huai's words, both of them looked solemn, and then carefully put the Holy Emblem around their necks - they had all seen how the Shoggoths manipulated others, and naturally they did not want to suffer the same fate.

"Okay, let's take action."

Seeing the two of them put on their badges, Duanmu Huai also turned his head, and then started to contact Ziyuanji Youzi.

"How about it?"

"We have secured the nearby base station and locked the signal. From now on, any external communication will be cut off except for me and you."

"Okay then, take action!"

"Wait a minute...let me take a look at the system of this place, um...done."

As Ziyuanji Youzi's words fell, Duanmuhuai saw the indicator light of the surveillance camera at the entrance of the mental hospital suddenly flash from green to red. Immediately afterwards, the originally closed door slowly opened, opening the way to the three people.

"As expected of NEET Detective Alice."

Food Detective and Idol Detective also heard from Duanmu Huai that Ziyuanji Youzi would also participate in this operation, and now they were quite emotional when they saw this scene. After all, in the detective circle, everyone has at least heard of her name. Shionji Yuko is also a relatively well-known detective, so the two of them naturally know about her.

It's just the first time I've truly seen the abilities of this NEET detective.

"There are two security guards patrolling the first floor, the second floor is the ward, and only two nurses are on duty. The basement is a black box, which cannot be invaded. It should be physically isolated. However, it can be seen from the circuit system that the power consumed in the basement occupies the entire Two-thirds of the hospital, you're pretty sure if there's something, it's underground!"

"Is there any emergency exit?"

"There is a line on the design drawing, but you will only know the specific situation when you go there."

"Good, I understand."

While talking, the three of them had already passed through the gate and walked through the square in front of the hospital. Then Duanmuhuai opened the door unceremoniously and strode in.

"Squeak!"

The harsh sound when the door opened was naturally extremely loud in the corridor late at night, but Duanmu Huai didn't care and strolled in as if he were returning to his own home. At this moment, a flashlight light emerged from the side of the corridor, and then two security guards ran over with flashlights in hand. Seeing Duanmu Huai and others, he was also stunned.

"Wait, who are you and why..."

However, before the security guard finished speaking, Duanmu Huai reached out and grabbed the security guard who was close to him, then swung it forward and hit the security guard like a hammer on the colleague behind him, and then the two of them He flew out like this and hit the wall hard.

For ordinary people, this would be enough to make them lose consciousness. However, the moment the two security guards hit the wall, they suddenly let out a scream. At the same time, their bodies exploded instantly and turned into two sticky and strange monsters. They opened their mouths and rushed toward Duanmu Huai. !

"Die to me!"

A mere Shoggoth was no problem for Duanmu Huai. He clenched his fists and punched forward, smashing the tentacles coming towards him with one punch, and then stepped forward and trampled them down. He directly trampled the two Shoggoths into pieces.

"Hiss—!"

But it was not over yet. At this moment, two nurses with slender arms and legs that looked like spiders suddenly jumped down from the ceiling and pounced on the detective duo at the back.

"Whoa!"

Seeing these two weird nurses, the food detective was also startled, and he hurriedly raised the gun in his hand and pulled the trigger. The idol detective gave a sweet shout and swung the whip forward with a cracking sound.

"Bang!"

As the gunfire rang out, one of the nurses' head tilted back as if he had been punched hard, and then fell to the ground. Another nurse was entangled in the whip and smashed to the ground, but soon the two got up again and stared angrily at the prey in front of them.

At this moment, the faces of the two nurses were completely distorted, with tentacles extending from their facial features, and their ugly mouths full of sharp teeth let out heart-stopping screams.

"Tekeli-li!"

"Isn't it?!"

Seeing the horrifying appearance of the nurse in front of them, the expressions of the two detectives changed drastically. However, just when the nurse was about to pounce forward again, a pair of big hands suddenly stretched out from behind them and grabbed their heads as hard as touching eggs. Crash together. Then I saw the heads of the two nurses explode in an instant, and they were mixed together regardless of each other. Then their bodies began to break, turning into turbid fragments and disappearing into the shadows.

"call……"

Only then did the two of them breathe a sigh of relief.

"This monster is really tough."

"I've hit my head, but I still don't die like this? Does it have to be holy water or something to be effective?"

"You'd better be talking about serious holy water."

"Is it appropriate for you, an idol, to say something like this?"

After all, the detective is a detective and has seen a lot. The two of them joked and finally calmed down. Although their faces were still pale, they seemed to be able to hold on... Well, professional ones are different.

"Where do we go next?"

"Um………"

Duanmu Huai thought for a moment.

"Let's go check on the conditions of those patients first."
