A Core Ship From The Start

Chapter 753: Chapter 544 Contradictions_2 Chapter 753: Chapter 544 Contradictions_2 After all, his speed was really not fast — this could be said to be Duanmu Huai’s biggest weakness.

As he spoke, Duanmu Huai had already carried Mary out of the small town and onto the path to Baskerville Manor. The area was similarly shrouded in fog. As Duanmu Huai shouldered Mary and strode in the direction of the manor, one after another, shadowy figures burst from the fog behind him and were ruthlessly smashed to pieces by him.

Although Duanmu Huai couldn’t see it, according to Mary’s description, that shadowy figure had always been following them, maintaining a certain distance.

Indeed, perhaps it was cautious because of previous injuries?

If so, it was quite troublesome.

Shortly afterward, the front gates of Baskerville Manor were already in sight. At that moment, Duanmu Huai’s ears were once again filled with the slightly panicked voice of Mary.

“Mr. Duanmu, that shadowy figure is rushing towards us!”

In the blink of an eye, even before Mary had finished speaking, Duanmu Huai felt a gust of wind blowing fiercely past him from behind, aiming for his back!

“Bring it on!”

Far from being frightened, Duanmu Huai was pleased to face the attack. He had feared that the creature would keep cowering until the end. It now seemed that the creature could no longer suppress itself. After all, it was still a beast!

Without any hesitation, Duanmu Huai turned around and reached out his right hand, directly grabbing at the opponent.

“Bang!!!”

The claw of the shadowy figure slammed heavily into Duanmu Huai’s chest, tearing his clothes. Simultaneously, Duanmu Huai’s right hand also landed a punch straight on the head of the shadowy figure. Unlike the previous Black Shadow Hounds that scattered upon contact, Duanmu Huai could now feel the solid touch of bone and fur from his hand.

“Ora!”

Duanmu Huai would certainly not let the creature escape now that he had finally caught it. He roared and balled his fists once again, swinging as if he were caught in a torrential downpour.

“Ora ora ora ora ora ora!!!!!”

Accompanied by Duanmu Huai’s roar, his iron fist rained down onto the shadowy creature like a storm. Immediately afterward, Duanmu Huai clenched his fist once again and raised it high.

“Ora!!!”

Under this roar, Duanmu Huai’s fist, much like a sledgehammer, pounded down with a great force, directly smashing the shadowy figure’s head and ground it into the earth.

“Bang!!”

With this sound, the shadowy figure fell heavily, motionless.

It was only then that Duanmu Huai was able to clearly see the true face of this monster.

As he saw earlier, it looked like a dog but also a bear or gorilla. Simply put, it was a creature with a dog’s head, a hulking torso like a gorilla or a bear, and robust forelimbs and fangs. However, this creature was now greatly injured by Duanmu Huai, with even its head being beaten until it was bloody and mangled.

Well……you could only say that this guy was weak. Absolutely not because Duanmu Huai was venting out his anger at not having caught up to it sooner.

“Aoow……oww……”

At this moment, this dark creature had been beaten to the point of being almost breathless by Duanmu Huai. Opening its mouth, it let out a pain-filled wailing sound, then struggled a little before falling silent — right after, the creature started melting like burning plastic, leaving behind a deep black pool of something that seemed like foul-smelling wastewater.

It couldn’t be helped, most of the monsters attacking humans in this world were essentially Subspace Creatures. If they died in the real world, they wouldn’t leave much evidence behind. This was one of the reasons why although there were many investigators in this world, there were very few monster corpses being recovered. Of course, there are also monsters that leave corpses behind after death, but more often these corpses were like virus clusters, causing widespread chaos or even disease just by existing. So, a qualified investigator would generally completely destroy those remains instead of bringing them back and causing trouble.

Of course, there have been instances of game players exploiting glitches. For example, discovering a problem in a certain place, going to investigate, and then finding out that the cause was a frozen remnant. Then, players would deal with the event but not destroy the remnant, letting it out to cause another event, then dealing with it again, and so on… As a result, the score deduction was disastrous.

After all, the system was not stupid. If the investigation of a case was thorough, the main culprit would undoubtedly be found. If you found the main culprit but didn’t deal with it, wouldn’t that just be scoring fraud?

Of course, the player can pretend they haven’t fully investigated the situation and keep this part a secret, but the case’s evaluation score would decrease. Even if this happened a few times, the total score from these cases won’t be as high as the score of one complete investigation.

How to say it……The battle of players exploiting glitches and the officials fixing them will likely continue.

Soon, the creature had completely melted, leaving only a trace similar to sewage in the snow-white ground. At this moment, Ling’Nu seemed to have found something, reached out and lightly meowed, pointing towards something.

“Hm?”

Hearing Ling’Nu’s voice, Duanmu Huai looked over and saw that there was something left behind in that black stain.
