After taking care of Glaki, Duanmuhuai set off again and embarked on the journey to Cornwall.

Regarding the follow-up completion of this commission, he has left it to the Foundation to handle it - to put it simply, two twisted murderers are here to hunt down the guests who come here in the name of opening a hotel. And Mr. James

Unfortunately, they became one of the victims, and the arrival of Duanmu Huai and other investigators made them nervous. In order to destroy the evidence, they attacked Duan Muhuai and other investigators, and then were killed.

As for the scars on the corpses, they came from the evil and twisted torture of the two murderers.

Well, if it were put in a newspaper, it would be almost like this story for the public.

This is also normal, and it is much better than saying "two cultists who worship the alien Old Ones are here to transform tourists into zombies".

By the way, the Foundation is not without complaints about Duanmu Huai, because Duanmu Huai burned all the alien corpses, including Glaaki's. It can be said that the only thing the Foundation recovered was the alien city. They

In fact, he hopes to capture this kind of monster alive for investigation and research. But for Duanmuhuai... this is of course impossible.

The reason why he chose to give live Migos to the foundation was because Migos are a race. Duanmuhuai does not have a fleet in this world, so it is not possible to exterminate Migos for the time being. Moreover, there are many Migos, so one or two less is not a big deal.

But Glaaki is just a rare creature. Of course, for the Inquisition, the best way for such a rare creature with a small number is to completely exterminate them.

After all, as long as they are extinct, they are no harm to humans.

As for how rare and important it is, the Inquisition doesn't care.

The Foundation is very dissatisfied with this, but as the judge, Duanmu Huai will not give in in this regard. After all, he and the Foundation only have a cooperative relationship. If you are dissatisfied, just go and die yourself. It is none of my business.

"Ugh..."

But sitting in the carriage, Mary was a little silent in her thoughts. She subconsciously reached out her hand and touched her belly, her mind in confusion.

What mark is that?

Mary didn't remember when she had this kind of mark. She remembered that it didn't exist before, and she didn't know when it appeared.

By the way...is this a tattoo?

As a young lady from a good family, Mary has always stayed away from such things. She never thought that one day she would get a tattoo. It is conceivable that if Charlie and Ashelica saw it, they would definitely faint.

Having said that... I am probably the one who wants to faint the most.

Do you have this kind of tattoo if you join the Inquisition?

Mary also asked Lorena secretly, but when faced with her questioning, Lorena seemed confused.

"I have never seen anything similar. Miss Kanami, Miss Leia, and others don't seem to have similar marks on their bodies."

Although they are all names I have never heard of, the question is what exactly are they?

Mary already knew the meaning of skulls and warhammers when she watched the "Inquisition Corporate Culture Introduction Film", so it must be something from the Inquisition, but she was still somewhat hesitant about talking to Duanmu Huai about it. After all,

I am still a girl, talking about the pattern on my belly with other men... This kind of thing is still a bit embarrassing for a girl.

"What's wrong?"

Perhaps sensing Mary's gaze, Duanmu Huai looked at her, while Mary was stunned for a moment, then shook her head.

"No, no, nothing..."

As she spoke, Mary lowered her head, but soon, she thought of something again, looked at Duanmu Huai and said.

"Ah, by the way, Mr. Duanmu, I have something to discuss with you."

"What's up?"

"That's right, I want to write this trip into a novel..."

What Mary said to Duanmuhuai was an idea she had had before, that is, to become Watson beside Holmes, record cases, and then write them into novels. But this was the first time Duanmuhuai heard it, and I have to say that he also

A rare expression of surprise.

"Are you going to turn these investigations into novels?"

"Yes; is that ok??"

"I have no problem, but I have a few words of advice."

"advice?"

"Yes, first of all, the characters who appear in it, except you and me, must be pseudonyms."

"I know that."

After all, personal privacy and personal information also need to be protected, not to mention that what Duanmu Huai and Mary are dealing with is not an ordinary criminal case like Sherlock Holmes.

"Also, regarding the monsters inside, you cannot write their real names."

"Hey? Can't you write?"

"Yes, these alien gods and the like are very sensitive in this regard. If you write their names and then readers see them, when they recognize the name, they might become evil gods and evil spirits.

The target of monsters. So even if it is a record, you cannot write down their real names."

"It sounds like a curse."

"In fact, it's almost the same. Your current idea is basically equivalent to rewriting a Necronomicon."

"The Necronomicon? What is that? It feels like a magic book. I just want to write a story book..."

"It doesn't matter. In short, as long as you write according to what I say, then it will be fine... What are you going to do about publishing? I can help if necessary."

"Although this is fine, I hope I can try to submit it for publication."

"Then it depends on your own strength."

Hearing this, Lorena next to her also came over excitedly.

"Miss Mary, do you plan to be a writer?"

"I just prefer writing stories."

Mary didn't lie. She had loved writing stories since she was a child, and Charlie was her first reader. In fact, one of her future career plans was to publish her own novels and become a writer - of course

, judging from the current situation, I am afraid that I will become a horror writer.

"Can I appear in it too?"

"Of course, as long as Miss Lorena allows me to use your name."

"No problem! This is the first time I see my name appear in a novel. It will be very interesting. Come on, Miss Mary!"

After talking about this topic, the two girls started talking enthusiastically. It seems that Lorena actually likes reading... Well, it's not surprising. After all, a person who hates books can't read books all day long.

A book goes around everywhere, and it's easy to use to fool people in the face.

…………This should be regarded as liking it, right?

The rest of the journey went smoothly, and amid the lively chat between Lorena and Mary, the group finally arrived in Cornwall and met the client—Mr. Best Hank.

Earl Best is a white-haired old man who is over seventy years old, but he is still energetic, and the reason why he invited Duanmu Huai to help is also very simple - the Hank family is considered a prominent family in this generation, although at the government level, they are not

He does not have the power to govern this place, but how can I put it... This is a bit like the wealthy gentry in ancient China who controlled the industries in the surrounding villages and towns, so they had great influence.

Because of this, after a vampire incident occurred in Cornwall, and the police investigation had no results, the angry old man expressed his intention to investigate by himself, and then learned the news about Duanmuhuai from the Baroness who had a similar experience. That was it.

He was invited.

"I have a bit of a reputation here. If you run into trouble, you can give me my name. If the other party refuses to help, then contact me directly."

Although he is an old man in his seventies, Earl Best's aura is still powerful, and he looks quite tough.

"It doesn't matter, but Mr. Best, what do you think?"

"what are you saying?"

"About vampires, honestly, do you believe it?"

"Honestly? I don't really believe it."

Earl Best gave the answer without hesitation.

"Besides, if vampires really existed, wouldn't that be stupid?"

"oh?"

"Look, aren't vampires in legend cunning and evil monsters? If they really want to control this area, they can come to me and turn me into their servant, and then kill all the city government employees

After transformation, wouldn't you be able to do whatever you want here? But the victims are just some workers. Isn't this stupid?"

Indeed, as Earl Best said, if the legendary vampire really has this ability, the first thing that should be converted is the local real power. After all, it is not like the Middle Ages, where nobles and high-ranking officials are surrounded by fully armed guards. In this era

For example, even if the mayor goes out, he may not necessarily be followed by bodyguards. In the Middle Ages, people like Earl Best were always followed when they went out. In this era, there may not be many bodyguards.

Therefore, it is much easier for vampires to attack those in power in modern times than before.

"So what do you think?"

"Frankly speaking? I don't know. If I were a few decades younger, maybe I would also think that this might be a deal between some gangs. But I am older, I have seen a lot, and I know that in this world

There are also existences that we cannot understand. Since Baroness Baskerville strongly recommends you, I think you are not the kind of fool who commits fraud, and I am old and don’t want to explore those secrets anymore. The only thing I want to think about now is

All we have to do is hope that peace can be restored to this land..."

Having said this, Earl Best let out a sigh of relief.
