Start a Core Pod

  Chapter 530 All the way to the south

  Looking at Duanmuhuai in front of him, the hair on the man's body stood on end. Under the moonlight outside, this ferocious face looked like an indescribable beast, showing its fangs, trying to tear him to pieces.

Not only that, for a man, just being enveloped by this sight, he feels that his courage, will, and even the belief that he is even willing to die for it all the time seem to start to collapse at a completely unimaginable speed, just like a gust of wind The blowing sand, or the thawing snow under the sun, almost just for a moment, he felt that everything he had insisted on since birth until now was falling apart under the other party's gaze!

  At this moment, the man stared at Duanmu Huai, his eyes suddenly widened!

   "Yes, it's you!"

"oh?"

  Hearing the man's words, Duanmu Huai frowned.

"you know me?"

   "Of course...you have destroyed the plan of the hut twice in a row... I didn't expect such a secret plan to be known by you!"

  Looking at Duanmuhuai, the man seemed almost mad.

   "How is this possible? This is the most secret plan, why do you know? Who leaked the secret?!"

Um?

  Looking at the man's expression, Duanmu Huai was stunned for a moment, and then he reacted immediately. Obviously, judging from the man's words, the two actions of the Silver Twilight Cabin that he met on the train and the airship were actually part of a big plan. And the Dark City right now seems to be the core of this big plan?

   And they broke the plan of the Silver Dusk House twice in a row, so they mistakenly thought that they did it on purpose after knowing everything?

  But Duanmuhuai knows that all of this is just a coincidence...well, a coincidence...it doesn't seem right.

  Thinking of this, Duanmu Huai silently glanced at his pocket, where the rabbit inside was curling up in a ball and sticking out his head to look outside curiously.

  It seems that his lucky bunny is really strong.

  Duanmuhuai never expected that the case in Wudu would be linked to the case on the train and the airship.

   But now...

   "This has nothing to do with you."

  Duanmu Huai snorted coldly, stretched out his hand, strangled the man by the throat, and lifted him up.

   "You just need to answer my question. What are you doing all this for?"

   "...you, you already know..."

   "Of course, that's why I asked this question. You should understand that it is useless to tell lies in front of me."

   This is of course a lie. Duanmuhuai has no idea what Yinmu Cabin wants to do, but it is not too difficult for him to cheat. Although Duanmuhuai doesn't have the charisma and speech skills of many players, naturally he can't use persuasion or see through, but in terms of deterrence...he is a professional.

   "Woo... ah..."

  With Duanmuhuai's fingers exerting a little force, the man only felt his throat gradually being compressed. He was like a shriveled balloon, and the remaining air was spit out from his lungs. Coupled with Duanmu Huai's ferocious eyes that seemed to eat him alive, the man at this moment has already collapsed and completely lost his mind.

   "The world, the world will be completely changed... We will reshape the world, the great gods are coming, the torch of the gate of Tartar has been lit..."

"speak English."

"So, all of this is part of the plan. We know that the great ancient gods are wandering the void, so we want to guide them into our world and change everything completely. The Gate of Tartar is just the beginning. Miss Charlotte has come to the door and has become a guide holding a torch. The next thing we need to do is to lift the seal and open the door... The Dark City is just one of them. All over the world, our compatriots are Fighting for this great ideal...ah...!!"

  However, before the man finished speaking, Duanmu Huai exerted a little force on his fingers, and soon he screamed again.

   "That is to say, what I encountered a few times before is also part of your plan?"

   "No, that's right... Opening the cross-latitude passage to the black cave, calling for the favor of the God of Many Faces, and lifting the seal of the Dark City... are all part of the plan..."

   "But I'm curious."

   Duanmu Huai stared at the man, and asked lightly.

   "According to Professor Capek, Miss Charlotte has already reached the Tartar Gate, so why are you doing these stupid things here?"

"Miss Charlotte...she...she is special. What she desires is different from ours. When she arrives at the Tartar Gate, she holds a torch and can guide the gods to descend. However, if there is no seal contact, the Tartar Gate will not open... so we are going to help her..."

   "How many of you are there, and where are you all?"

  “………………”

Faced with Duanmuhuai's question, the man chose to be silent for the first time, but Duanmuhuai laughed, then reached out, grabbed the man's arm, and lifted it in front of the man like pulling the arm of a toy villain. Shake a bit.

   "See? This is your arm."

  While speaking, Duanmuhuai stretched out his finger, pressed it on the man's forearm, and then exerted a sudden force.

   "Crack!!"

   "AHHHHHHHHHH!!"

The next moment, the man's forearm broke like a toy man's arm that was bent in the opposite direction, and then Duanmuhuai grabbed his broken and twisted arm with his backhand, pulled hard, and directly pulled the man's forearm from him. Pulled off his arm!

   "Now it's not."

Duanmuhuai threw away the amputated arm in his hand, and stared at the man coldly. At this moment, the man's face was pale with pain, his legs were instinctively struggling, trembling, kicking the floor desperately, as if this could relieve some of his own pain. like pain. But under Duanmuhuai's fearful light, the man couldn't even pass out, he could only endure the pain that almost completely collapsed his sanity.

   "Answer me, how many of you are there? Where are you all?"

"No, no more! There are only four of us left here! Capek and Loret have failed, Charlotte has reached the gate of Tartar, and I am the last of the Capek Research Society staying here !As for where the other guests of the hut have gone...I don't know! I really don't know...Ahhhhh!!"

However, before the man finished speaking, Duanmu Huai kicked him directly on the knee, immediately smashing the knee joint of the man's left leg, and then his twisted calf was kicked by Duanmu Huai. Stepping on it, it was torn from the thigh abruptly—like tearing a roasted leg of lamb.

   "My patience is limited."

   "South, South Pole! They went to the South Pole!"

   At this moment, the man finally couldn't help shouting.

"That's all I know. They went to Antarctica, saying that they wanted to open the gate of Tatars from there... They said that there was a mysterious ancient civilization there a long time ago, and among their ruins there are Tatars who are truly connected to the present world. Tartar's Gate! I really only know this, as for where they went to Antarctica, I really don't know! I don't know... woo..."

   Duanmu Huai was not in the mood to listen to the man's entreaties, and exerted some force with his fingers again to silence the man's voice.

   "... By the way, the last question, how did you recognize me?"

  "...The guests in the hut know that there is a man with a bald head, a ferocious face, and the height of a monster who is hindering me..."

   "Click it."

This time, before the man finished speaking, Duanmuhuai grabbed his head suddenly, twisted it like twisting a bottle cap, and then directly twisted the man's head from his neck, and the man's voice, It also came to an abrupt end.

   It really is a cult organization, full of nonsense, what is the ferocious face, it is your turn to talk about it?

  Although the men did not say where they went to Antarctica, Duanmuhuai knew it very well.

   As a matter of fact, after the man said the word "Antarctica", he knew where to look for those **** cultists.

  It was a sleeping city in the mountains and the plateau south of the Ross Sea, under the ice covered with severe cold and snow.

   Once the great beings on this planet, the old rulers and their minions slept.

   It is also a holy place for punching cards that players flock to.

   However, compared to other places, going to Antarctica is obviously more troublesome and more dangerous.

  This can be seen when Mary learns that Duanmuhuai is going to the Antarctic.

   "Mr. Duanmu, are you really going to Antarctica?"

   "As far as the current situation is concerned, this is the only way to go."

Duanmuhuai nodded. He was not worried that the man was lying. After all, in the system, Duanmuhuai could clearly see that the man's SAN value had been directly broken by himself, and he had completely entered a state of madness and out of control. There was no way he could keep a secret.

   "Me, can I go too?"

"You want to go?"

   "Yes, because Mr. Duanmu, didn't you say that the Gate of Tartar is in the Antarctic? Maybe... I think, will I see Xia Li there..."

   "Going to Antarctica is not easy, can you get permission?"

"this………"

  Hearing Duanmuhuai's inquiry, Mary, who was extremely excited, suddenly fell silent. As Duanmuhuai said, not everyone can go to Antarctica casually. Not to mention that she is still a student, so she is not qualified to go to Antarctica at all, unless...

   "I remember, you are a student of the Department of History, right?"

"Yes."

  Although I don't know why Duanmu Huai suddenly raised this question, Mary nodded.

   "Will the Department of History have similar excavation and collection activities?"

   "This...of course there will be."

  Marie nodded again. As Duanmuhuai said, the Department of History of the Royal Master's College often goes out to investigate relics and cultural relics. In fact, some students have followed them. It's just that those are big cows who have participated in the research meeting, and a little transparent like Mary doesn't have similar qualifications and opportunities.

   "That's all right."

   Duanmu Huai snapped his fingers.

"give it to me."

   “………???”

   Of course Duanmu Huai has no connections, but he doesn't need it either, after all he still has the foundation line!

   After discussing with Mary, Duanmuhuai returned to the room, logged on to the foundation's website, and commissioned them to check whether the Royal Master's College had a plan to conduct scientific research in Antarctica.

  The intelligence strength of the foundation is naturally needless to say. It didn't take long for Duanmuhuai to receive a reply. According to the information investigated by the foundation, the Royal Master's College does have a plan to go to Antarctica for geological surveys, but as I said before, not everyone can go to Antarctica. Not to mention the time, the cost is also astronomical. It is obviously... impossible for an organization like the Royal Master's College, which is directly under the royal family, to expect them to spend such a large sum of money to sponsor a group of people to dig stones in Antarctica.

   But fortunately, this kind of pure public welfare research investigation itself is not difficult to pass the review, the only problem is money.

  As long as someone pays, then there is no problem.

   Like now.

   "Thank you very much for your support, Mr. Duanmuhuai."

  Professor Palmer from the Geology Department of the Royal Master's College blushed and held Duanmu Huai's hand, shaking it up and down desperately. This professor was in his early fifties, and unlike other teachers, he seemed to be exposed to the weather, and his bronze-colored skin showed that he was a person who had been traveling all year round. Of course, the professor himself is also a very famous person, and even won the Royal Medal, but it's a pity... the medal can't be exchanged for him to go to Antarctica.

  But Duanmuhuai can.

   "I have always wanted to go to Antarctica to explore and investigate the geological formations there. Unfortunately, my wish has not been fulfilled... I have never been able to make the trip... Thanks to your funding..."

   "There is no need to say more polite words, Professor Palmer."

   Duanmu Huai waved his hand, interrupting the other party's flattery.

   "Actually, I only have two requirements. If you can satisfy me, then I can fully fund your scientific research plan."

"any request?"

   "First request."

  While speaking, Duanmuhuai stretched out his finger.

   "I've never been to Antarctica, so I want to go together to see the scenery of Antarctica, is that okay?"

   "Of course, I can add your name to the scientific expedition team list... But I didn't expect you to go in person..."

   "There's nothing wrong with going out for a walk. As for the second question... I hope you add someone."

   "Add someone?"

   "Exactly."

  Facing Palmer's puzzled gaze, Duanmuhuai smiled slightly.

   "Her name is Mary Clarissa Christie. She is a second-year student in the History Department of the Royal Master's College. She has also been looking forward to going to Antarctica. If you can invite her to join your scientific expedition team, I would be very grateful."

"this………"

I have to say that facing Duanmuhuai's request, Palmer was really stunned for a moment. He had heard of the name of the student Mary, and he was indeed very smart, and his grades were quite good, but he was not the teacher of the other party. , so I didn't pay much attention to it.

  Generally speaking, this kind of opportunity, Palmer must let the students of his own research club get the honor, and it is impossible for Mary, an outside student, to get the chance.

  But this is the request of the sponsor... After all, why did this gentleman make such a request?

  Thinking of this, Professor Palmer seemed to think of something, and suddenly realized.

   Could it be that Mary Clarissa is this man's lover?

  This kind of thing is actually not uncommon. Of course, generally speaking, as a professor, Palmer doesn't think much about this kind of behavior. It's just that there are people who are willing to fund their own scientific research projects for their lover...

"no problem."

   Soon, Palmer smiled and nodded.

   "I have also taught Mary Clarissa. She is indeed an intelligent student. It just so happens that if she is willing, I would also like to invite her to join my research club."

  Although Professor Palmer didn't know whether the two were planning to go to Antarctica for a honeymoon trip or something, he didn't care.

   As long as you have enough funds to fund your own research projects, then nothing else matters!
