Start a Core Pod

  Chapter 505 Isn't this style of painting right? ?

  Arkham City.

  Mark is not familiar with this city, but relying on the advertising address in the newspaper, he still managed to find his target.

  No. 666 Fool Street...

  Holding the newspaper in his hand and looking at the storefront in front of him, Mark frowned. Judging from the exterior decoration of this shop, it is very simple, and it can even be said to be quite simple. On the signboard of the shop, there are only the words "Trial Court" written, and then there is a mark of a warhammer and a skull.

   is the same as the mark on the back of your hand.

  Thinking of this, Mark lowered his head again, looked at the mark on the back of his hand, and then looked at the pattern on the shop in front of him.

   exactly the same.

what is happening?

  Frankly speaking, holding a newspaper and standing on the street, Mark now only feels like his brain is like a paste.

   Anyway, here we come, let’s go in first!

  Thinking of this, Mark gritted his teeth, put the newspaper back in his pocket, and stretched out his hand to push open the store door.

   "Jingle."

  As the doorbell rang, the door opened, and then Mark stepped into the weird shop in front of him.

  When Mark walked into the store and saw the layout inside, he couldn't help being taken aback.

After making up his mind to avenge his wife and destroy the group of cultists, Mark also went to find many wizards and the like. In his impression, those guys were always hidden in the dark alleys, and the whole room was messed up. Dim, dark and mysterious, full of musty ancient books and disgusting weird props...

  However, Mark's first impression here is completely different from those previous voodoo shops. Not only are the windows bright and clean, but it looks very tidy, and it even looks like... a brand store? ? ?

   That's right.

   What I saw in front of Mark was a very neat storefront. There was a glass cabinet in the center of the storefront, which contained all kinds of jewelry, including necklaces, rings, and bracelets. And on the shelf by the wall, there are various weapons. Including hammers, machetes, short swords, and even shields.

   On the other side, there are things like decorations...

   In this way, the entire storefront is divided into three parts, and of course, there are special classification labels.

On the side of the wall full of weapons, there is a signboard of "Exorcism", and on the outside of the glass cabinet with decorations in the middle, there is a signboard of "Exorcism". As for the cabinets next to the decorations, there is a signboard of "Town House" symbols of.

  ...... What the **** is this? ? ?

  Looking at the storefront in front of him, Mark was stunned.

   For a moment, he felt that he had gone to the wrong place... Just when Mark was hesitating whether to go out, a voice sounded.

   "Ah, welcome to the trial court, my guest, what do you need?"

Hearing this crisp and pleasant voice, Mark raised his head and looked in the direction of the counter. However, there was no old witch who looked mysterious, nor was there a voodoo mage who tossed himself so impersonally, but a A very beautiful and lovely girl, with a smile on her face, she was looking at Mark curiously.

   "Excuse me, do you want to buy or sell items when you come to the trial court?"

   "For Sale?"

  Hearing what the girl said, Mark frowned and walked to the counter, while the girl nodded.

   "Yes, if you have something that bothers you, you can sell it to our Tribunal. Of course, if you need something, you can also buy items from our Tribunal to relieve your troubles."

   "You mean those???"

  Mark stretched out his hand in doubt, and pointed to the cabinets behind him, while the girl nodded.

"That's right, if there are evil spirits or demons in your home, I recommend you to buy town house decorations. And if you are haunted by demons and want to expel or stay away from them, you can choose exorcism decorations. "

   "Then what about exorcism?"

  Hearing this, Mark stared into the girl's eyes and asked, but the girl was stunned for a moment, and then continued to speak.

   "Of course, if you want to fight against demons, you can also choose demon-killing weapons."

  “……”

So simple? ?

Hearing the girl's answer, Mark frowned. He had also sought similar help from other wizards, but they either said that they didn't have such means, or told Mark that this was not something that ordinary people could control. How could it be like here? Just put it out and sell it with a clear price? ?

   "Are there no requirements and risks?"

"Of course, if you choose to fight against demons, it is a risk in itself. We can only provide you with a certain degree of assistance to help you not be affected by evil and filth, but other than that, you have to rely on your own strength .”

  Mark was not surprised by the girl's words. This is normal. As a soldier, he also relied on his own ability when shooting, instead of letting the gun in his hand fire automatically. It's just that the other party actually told the truth, which somewhat surprised Mark. It seems that this "trial court" really has a completely different style and routine from those other coquettish **** who pretend to be gods and ghosts.

  By the way, speaking of this...

   "So, do you have any guns here?"

   "Sorry, sir, this shop does not sell all long-range weapons including bows and arrows."

   This is also Duanmuhuai's decision, after all, selling guns requires a license, and he is too lazy to bother. In fact, the licensed scope of the store in front of me is antiques and handicrafts. And those weapons and accessories for "exorcism", "town house" and "exorcism" can all be sold under the name of handicrafts. After all, this is not against the law, is it?

   But guns are another story.

  Of course, the most important reason besides this is that in Duanmuhuai's view, only close combat is the most sacred, bravest and most loyal way of fighting. You want to fight demons, not just throwing a hammer at them, but hunkering down and shooting like Titan?

  You are not loyal in itself!

   Besides, Duanmuhuai's shooting skills are so poor... Forget it, let's not talk about it, it will make me cry.

   "Of course, if you have any needs or services, you can go to the detective agency on the second floor for help."

   Lorena naturally wanted to advertise to her boss.

  To be honest, if this mark did not appear on the back of his hand, and if he hadn't had any nightmares after that, Mark would have wondered if there was something wrong with this place.

   After all, this is not pretending at all, and it does not conform to my own ideas at all. Generally speaking, shouldn't this kind of thing be brought to the back, and then take out some treasured treasure or something? Why are you so calm? ?

  For Lorena, she is indeed quite calm. After all, she has done a lot of similar things in the holy city, and it has long been a habitual job. Naturally, he won't be like those magic sticks in this world, who are talking about not knowing what's going on.

  But Mark is not used to it.

  According to his experience, the general kind of magic stick and sorceress are all talkative, like a riddle person. Nowhere does she look like this lady, she is like some kind of customer service, she will answer whatever you ask. Even if Mark asked her about the meaning of the marks of the Tribunal, she also made it clear that pure human skulls are a symbol of human purity, and those fallen who work with demons have already lost their human purity, and their skulls are also Nature has mutated. Therefore the skull represents the sanctity and purity of the human being...

  Good guy, those who don’t know think this is a museum for explanation.

  Of course, the risks must be clearly stated.

   "If you choose to use the power of the Tribunal, then you will be regarded as a believer in the Tribunal. After your death, your soul will go to the Tribunal to serve the Tribunal."

  That's right, there is always something to say.

  But after hearing Lorena's explanation, Mark frowned.

  You speak so seriously... Is there really such a place as the afterlife?

   "So, I want to meet the dead, is that okay?"

"this………"

   Facing Mark's request, Lorena frowned.

   "Sorry, this store does not provide this service."

"ok, I get it."

  Hearing Lorena's answer, Mark nodded, and then he began to choose his own products.

  Having dealt with the cultists so much, Mark also has some understanding of their methods. He knows that the scariest thing about these cultists is that they can summon some monsters from other worlds through some cult rituals. And these monsters cannot be defeated with guns alone.

   Therefore, choosing a weapon has become his top priority.

  So after thinking about it for a long time, Mark chose a dagger, and then took a shovel.

   That's right, shovel.

The weapons hanging here, in addition to long swords, short swords, war hammers, shields and other commonly used melee weapons, taking into account the civilization of modern society, Duanmuhuai also specially prepared a lot of folk hardware, including logging axes, iron shovels , Pickaxes and the like are densely hung on the wall. People who don't know come here and think this is some kind of hardware store!

   This can be regarded as Duanmuhuai's heart-warming service. After all, he also knows that those investigators are running around, and there must be a time to dig a hole and climb a tree. Besides, what happened to the shovel? The shovel can't kill people?

  As for why Duanmu Huai didn't make it into an army-like multi-functional collection of various functions... Just kidding, he doesn't want to make money?

  You can earn two shares of money, why earn one?

  Mark is picking products here, and his mood is also weird. Just kidding, he wants to kill demons and exorcise demons. What kind of process is this like picking products in a supermarket?

  Do these things really work?

  Fortunately, these things are not expensive in themselves. In the end, Mark picked out a shovel, a dagger, a ring and a bracelet, and then paid at the checkout...

  Of course, Lorena still has to work hard to advertise for her boss.

   "If you have any needs, you are welcome to go to the office to contact our boss."

"…………I will think about it."

  Looking at the business card that Lorena handed over, Mark hesitated for a moment, and reached out to take it. But in fact, he didn't intend to ask others for help. After all, Mark is also very clear that although those cultists are indeed hateful, in a society ruled by law, his act of revenge is simply killing people. Naturally, the less people know about this kind of thing, the better.

  So after packing up a bunch of things, Mark turned and left the shop.

"Why………"

   Seeing this scene, Lorena also sighed helplessly.

  She has tried her best to solicit customers for Duanmu Huai.

such a pity………
