"Mr. Investigator... is this ghoul really dead?"
Nietzsche stared at the ghoul corpse on the ground, full of vigilance: "According to Mr. Andy, ghouls are very difficult to eliminate. After the physical body dies, there will still be a gluttonous desire..."
"Boy! Don't listen to the rumors. I have dealt with more than one brigade of alien species like ghouls..." Ryan raised his eyebrows and replied dissatisfied: "Those scientists also captured a few experimental subjects for research, but they are not that big at all. Terrifying... In comparison, those subhuman races are more troublesome, because they are too similar to humans and are hiding among us... "
As he said that, he stared at Simon again: "Of course, you are not one of them..."
"A ghoul, as an extraordinary creature, died so easily..." Simon was stunned for a long time before spitting out a sentence.
"Don't think too highly of these alien species. What's more, ghouls can only be considered inferior among alien species. In ancient times, they could be destroyed by knights with big swords... What's more, I use firearms and enchanted bullets! "
Ryan flashed the holster on his waist: "As an unregistered Beyonder, tell me your choice!"
He glanced at Alank behind Simon, and he had obviously recognized the other person's identity.
"Do I have any other choice?" Simon shrugged: "But... although I will obey your orders, I will not die unconditionally!"
"Of course, don't think of our investigation office as too despicable. There are many peripheral members and informants like you..."
Ryan glanced at Vivian and Nietzsche next to him: "The reason why I disclosed this is also to develop you into informants. Anyway, there is no danger, and you can get an extra allowance..."
"I... I need to think about it!" Miss Vivian hesitated, but Nietzsche was very moved.
"Okay, none of you are allowed to leave until tonight's events are over. We have plenty of time to think about it!" Ryan smiled, seemingly confident.
"Do you really want to destroy the ghoul lair?"
Vivian's voice was trembling, and she shuddered when she saw the monster on the ground.
"Of course... you don't think that the ghouls are all beasts, do you? They are also intelligent... After suffering tonight's setback, they may choose to transfer immediately, or break them into pieces, which will bring problems to our follow-up work. Big trouble!"
Ryan shrugged his shoulders: "Of course, you don't need to worry. I won't do such a dangerous thing alone. I have already called for reinforcements!"
Wow! Wow!
The moment he finished speaking, the piercing sound of police sirens came quickly from far to near.
"boarding!"
A group of men in black appeared around, and Ryan's demeanor changed drastically. He was like a general, calmly issuing orders.
Simon and Nietzsche sat uncomfortably in the back seat, watching many cars forming a long convoy, driving through the streets of Kimbert City.
Ten minutes later, the surrounding buildings became increasingly sparse, and we arrived at a pier.
"I originally thought that those ghouls like dirty, dark environments and would definitely choose a certain sewer space as their lair. Unexpectedly, it was Wesley Pier instead!"
Ryan got off the car and was a little surprised: "Although there are sewer pipe connections here, their purpose is obviously not this..."
Vivian stared curiously at the men in black who continued to gather around her. There were at least a hundred of them, holding various strange-looking weapons in their hands.
"I didn't know that there was such a large force hidden in Jinbot City... No! No, maybe they were urgently transferred from other cities. Mr. Lane and the Federal Bureau of Investigation have been working with Is such a monster right?"
For a moment, she felt as if her wish had been deflected.
"Occupy the high ground and surround it!"
"Deploy a fire net, prepare explosives, blow up pipelines, and don't give them a chance to escape..."
These men in black were well-trained and had a clear division of labor, which actually reminded Vivian of the army.
Moreover, I don’t know how Ryan communicated. At this time, all the patrols and night watchmen on the dock were gone, and it was eerily quiet.
Soon, many arrangements were completed, surrounding an ordinary warehouse.
"That's... the ghoul's lair?"
Simon was a little trembling, not to mention Nietzsche.
"Okay, our Mr. Extraordinary, I need a bait to let this 'toy' of yours go in..."
With a smile on his face, Ryan waved his hand, and immediately several men in black came up and put a piece of clothing that looked like black armor on Alank.
"High explosives?" Simon's eyelids twitched, knowing that Ryan must have seen that Alank was a flesh and blood puppet controlled by him. "It's a pity... I have no choice!"
He gave an instruction, and the expressionless Alank immediately took big steps towards the huge warehouse.
Bang bang!
After opening the door, a blast of cold air flowed out, and you could see half a fan of pork, beef, and what seemed to be a meat freezer that had been lifted up inside.
But it was mixed with some other things, which were... human body parts!
Crunch! Crunch!
There were many chewing sounds, and dozens of ghouls gathered around and suddenly launched an attack.
"Ouch!"
Alank roared and punched a certain ghoul, but it still couldn't change his fate. Several ghouls quickly bit his arms, neck and other vital parts.
Boom!
The next moment, a terrifying explosion emerged, swallowing up half of the warehouse.
Fire shot into the sky, and flesh and blood flew everywhere.
Nietzsche felt his ears ringing and was swept to the ground by the shock wave. He could only struggle to raise his head and saw many men in black calmly raising their guns and shooting, forming a fire net.
The remaining ghouls fell to the ground dead with their brains flying.
"Pay attention to cleaning up the battlefield!"
Ryan calmly directed and carried out the subsequent cleaning work.
"A huge nest of ghouls was wiped out like this?" Nietzsche finally recovered and said in disbelief.
Simon next to him also had his mouth wide open, obviously this scene left a deep impression on him.
"On this planet, we humans are the real masters at this time!"
Ryan said slightly proudly: "You should be lucky that you met me first!"
But Nietzsche thought something else: "Ghouls are not scary at all... Sure enough, Andy's shopkeeper is a big liar..."
…
Two days later.
The pier explosion at Wesley Harbor had already been in the newspapers, and officials characterized it as a gas leak.
Fang Yuan also walked out of the police station and stretched: "Good day, Mr. Nietzsche... Congratulations on finding a new job!"
"..." Nietzsche looked at Fang Yuan, but he was very speechless, thinking of the results of the investigation.
After searches and appraisals by professionals, almost all of Javier’s grocery store is filled with fakes and deceptive items, especially the Sun Badge Talisman, which is a complete gold-coated copper fake. Only that book Voodoo rituals are truly extraordinary items, and they are only acquired accidentally.
As for the so-called ghoul amulet, it is of course fake. The so-called ghoul claw fragments inlaid on it are completely dog claws!
It can also be deduced from this that the reason why the international fugitive Capon was attacked by the ghoul was simply due to bad luck and a coincidence.
This was the evaluation given by the Investigation Office personally. Nietzsche had already firmly believed it. The reason why he found Fang Yuan at this time was because he still had one last doubt: "That...how did you find out about the mark of sin?"
"Sigh... I often come into contact with items containing extraordinary power, and they always become a little different!" Fang Yuan said with a hint of sadness.
On the road, Molly had already hired a carriage and opened the door.
"Stop talking, you big liar!" Nietzsche roared loudly, deciding not to believe any words of this black-hearted and profiteer boss.
"Oh... Our little gentleman, this statement of yours really makes me sad... Originally I wanted to introduce to you a collection that I am about to acquire - the late paintings of the great artist, Master Vincent... only ten pieces. Gold Punk is definitely at a rock-bottom price!”
Fang Yuan pretended to sigh helplessly.
Nietzsche was moved in his heart, but he still kept a straight face: "I don't believe it anymore. The things in your store must be fake!"
"Oh, that's such a shame!"
Fang Yuan shrugged his shoulders and said meaningfully: "The influence and pollution of ghouls cannot be solved so easily... Young man, the guidance of destiny has been opened, you must work hard!"
Snapped!
He got into the carriage, closed the door, and told the coachman to return to the shop.
"What a stupid and sad creature..." After sending the carriage away, Moli Gu couldn't help but sigh: "It's so sad to know that you are in danger but don't know it!"
An investigation of this level did not even require Fang Yuan to take action. Moli Gu's ability to manipulate dreams and hallucinations was enough to fool him.
"But that's what makes it so interesting, isn't it?"
Fang Yuan smiled.
…
On the other hand, Nietzsche found an apartment based on an address.
"This is a base of our investigation office in Jinbot City. You are already our informant. You come here regularly to report information every other week. You are given a monthly allowance of three silver sers, and you are paid according to the importance of the information. Bonus, what’s the problem?”
Ryan cut a piece of half-cooked steak and put the bloody meat into his mouth, with a look of enjoyment on his face: "You can truly enjoy the natural deliciousness without adding any seasonings."
"No problem!" Nietzsche took a deep breath: "I want to join you! What are the conditions?"
"That requires a certain period of observation and passing the assessment!" Ryan replied with a smile: "Here, let me introduce you to your boss here... Mr. Hannibal, by the way, the steaks he makes are indeed very delicious!"
