  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, police...

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 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 greatest unsung heroes in the world—the investigators.

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

  Government departments in this world know something about this situation, but 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 also 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?

   Similarly, 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 you can't let government employees dance to the gods for a reason.

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

   At this time, the investigator appeared.

  Basically, according to the setting of this world, as long as someone is lucky (or unlucky) to encounter similar things and finally manage 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.

  If you insist, from the perspective of the government, the so-called investigator is more like the role of an external employee/temporary worker 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 case of a mysterious disappearance, and then you find a house that is suspicious, and you pick the lock and get in.

  Then found traces inside, then picked the lock to open the safe, and found the documents inside.

  Then found that there was a secret room in the wall, and smashed the wall directly.

   Alarmed the unspeakable monster, in order to avoid accidents, a fire burned the house down.

  Good guy, smashed, looted and burned 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?

   This is of course illegal.

   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 trafficking and hiding drugs, then it’s none of my police’s business, right?

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

   Then 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 insurances and one housing fund, and there is no establishment... Not only that, if something weird happens, the police will be the first The idea is 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, on the surface it is a non-governmental organization... 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 Duanmuhuai's name and a big "D" logo written on it.

  The other 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, from the surface, it seems that this is just a pure public welfare foundation website, and most of the content in it is about public welfare 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 so on. 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, etc., he doesn’t need to think about it at this level.

   After all, it is a D-class personnel (stand-up).

  For Duanmu Huai, the most important thing right now is of course weapons.

  General 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 were just like children's toy guns in his hands.

  Weapons can be chosen, but the problem is... what kind of weapons does Duanmuhuai take out, aren't they all very ostentatious ones?

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

  Fortunately, Muhuai finally found a weapon.

   That is the cane.

  In fact, there is a similar weapon in the game, called the sword stick, to put it bluntly, it is a sword made 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 use the cane and sword to pretend to be aggressive.

   After all, this thing looks like it can pretend, 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 Duanmu Huai, 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?

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

   Oh, by the way, there are cars......

   After returning home, Duanmu Huai 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 modification company, this job also surprised them, especially after meeting with 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, Duanmu Huai does not intend to be idle.

  The so-called come 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 visit after they came to this world.

   That is the same area as Arkham City, well-known, popular, and a treasure land that players flock to.

   Innsmouth.
