Start a core cabin

In war, the winner is not king, but the leftover is king.

Only those who can survive are the winners.

At this moment, Kamurocho has become a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood. Under the ruthless attack of the shadows, the cultists have been torn into pieces. Even if they have completely surrendered to the outer god and sworn allegiance to it.

But... voluntarism cannot solve practical problems.

If you can't win, you just can't win.

The shadows' bodies are not in the 3D world, but are shadows on a plane. If they are unable to detect this, then no matter how hard these cultists try to attack and kill the enemies in front of them, they are as stupid as trying to smash the reflection in the water.

Unfortunately, these cultists obviously no longer have the ability to think normally.

Duanmuhuai strode along the ruined streets and arrived at the square in front of the theater, which is considered a famous place in Kamurocho. At least when people who come to Kamurocho want to agree on a meeting place, they come here to meet.

And now, it's here too.

"I didn't expect you to be so persistent with me."

Standing in front of Duanmuhuai was a woman wearing an OL uniform. She held a document bag in one hand and pushed up her glasses.

"Is there some inevitable connection between us? Or is there another reason why you are chasing me?"

"…………"

Duanmu Huai didn't say anything. He had no interest in chatting with people who liked to talk nonsense. Duanmu Huai was one of those players who would skip the CG when playing games before fighting the BOSS. After all, no matter what you talk nonsense, in the final analysis, it's still Want to fight.

So let’s not waste any more time.

SKIP it.

Duanmuhuai suddenly accelerated, clenched his fist and swung it towards the woman in front of him, hitting her in front of her - but the next moment, the woman in front of Duanmuhuai turned into a tall and strong man covered in muscles. Although Not as tall as Duanmuhuai, but tall enough. He stretched out his hand to block Duanmu Huai's fist, while looking at him with a mocking smile.

"I've been watching you, and I know that you, like me, are from outside this world."

It dodged another punch from Duanmu Huai and at the same time distanced itself from him. At the same time, several snakes with wings flew out of the air, opened their bloody mouths and pounced towards Duanmuhuai. Duanmuhuai stretched out his hand, ignored the bites of the terrifying hunter in front of him, grabbed the body of one of the flying snakes, and then swung it forward like a whip. With the sound of "pop" breaking through the air, the terrifying hunters summoned by Nyarlathotep exploded with flesh and blood, turning into fragments on the ground.

"I don't like outsiders in my playground, but you've been great so I'm willing to give you a chance."

A group of huge shadows passed over Duanmuhuai's head. They were monsters that were larger than the body of an elephant and had heads like horses. They flapped their wings covered with white frost and swayed like snakes. The long body rushed towards Duanmuhuai. Duanmu Huai clenched his fist and blasted forward - his iron fist hit the head of the first Shantak bird without any bias, and then knocked it upside down. The latter spun like a bowling ball that was thrown hard and smashed into the flock of Shattuck birds, causing a shrill scream.

"You performed very well before, but you performed too well. Maybe this gave you the illusion that you can deal with me..."

The void began to twist, and invisible monsters jumped out of it. They let out low roars, and the shapes of these things could not be seen clearly in the dim square. But for Duanmu Huai, this is meaningless and unimportant. He directly raised his fist and smashed it hard against the ground.

"boom!!!!"

The square in front of the theater was suddenly dented by the Duanmu locust tree, and those invisible empty ghosts were also blown away. They screamed and were expelled from this unfortunate place, and returned to their own plane to lick their wounds. .

While talking, Nyarlathotep was also changing its form all the time. It seemed that it could not stabilize its own form, or maybe it was just changing at will.

A chuckle came from its mouth, as if it was mocking or sarcastic. But Duanmuhuai doesn't care. He never listens to such nonsense. In fact, when playing games, countless times of brushing dungeons have already numbed Duanmuhuai's nerves - no matter how impassioned and powerful the lines of these bosses in battle are. Even though they are majestic, they cannot slow down the speed of releasing their skills even a little bit.

Similarly, for players, how to dodge skills is much more important than listening to the BOSS's nonsense.

"Answer me!"

For a chatty person, it is obviously very frustrating to keep talking but no one responds, even Nyarlathotep is no exception.

"You are not those dream gods who are greedy for pleasure, nor are you those nightmare beasts that have no sense at all and rely only on instinct to survive! Tell me, why are you chasing me! Looking for me? You even tried to destroy me!"

Nyarlathotep longed for answers, just like a detective pursuing a case, always needing motive, motive, motive - murder needs motive, crime also needs motive, why to do this, why to do this, it is obvious , this incarnation of Nyarlathotep seems to be particularly obsessed with this.

Nyarlathotep has countless incarnations, each with a different personality, and there are even good-natured incarnations. But to be honest, Duanmu Huai couldn't imagine this kind of existence... It felt like schizophrenia. He had read a book before that talked about multiple personalities. Nyarlathotep basically had thousands of personalities.

Well, I can only say that he is worthy of being an alien god.

It's a pity that Duanmuhuai never cares about such trivial matters.

For the Inquisitor, heretics are meant to be eliminated, aliens are meant to be destroyed, and demons are meant to be purified.

What did you do? That has nothing to do with me.

If you insist on saying so, then your existence itself is the biggest problem.

"Bang!!"

Duanmuhuai's iron fist swung out again and hit Nyarlathotep. The latter staggered two steps back and stared at Duanmuhuai angrily. It opened its mouth and let out a deafening roar, as if a child was trying to scream beyond its limits to force a response.

However, Duanmuhuai didn't care. He just clenched his fists again and took a stance. It's like an adult who turns a deaf ear to the screams of a child and only listens to music with headphones. Then he rushed towards the enemy in front of him again.

Until now, Nyarlathotep has not revealed its true form. It is just summoning other relatives to fight Duanmu Huai, and it is just constantly changing its form to hide behind. It fits the old silver coin's usual destructive, low-level and obscene ways. Some people may euphemistically call it wisdom, but in Duanmu Huai's view - it's just pure cowardice.

If you have the ability, come up and have a head-on collision with me!

What's the point of hiding behind!

"Since you are unwilling to answer my questions, then... I have to reveal some small surprises."

Hearing this, Duanmuhuai stopped. He narrowed his eyes and stared at Nyarlathotep in front of him - the latter had now turned into a sturdy bald black man. He didn't know who he was. You are not playing a game with yourself about who is stronger.

"I know everything about you, your feelings, your character, your thoughts, your experiences... You have been destroying and devouring those old rulers and turning them into your power. Since you came This has always been the case in this world, do you think I don’t know? No, I have always known, because I have been watching you... But it seems that you have not noticed at all..."

As he spoke, Nyarlathotep reached out his hand, covered his face, and then unfolded it - what appeared below was the face of a girl with long black hair.

"Brother, can you have a good chat with me now?"

"……………………"

Duanmuhuai stood there, staring at Nyarlathotep.

"So, you are Shajiuye?"

"Yes, I am Shajiuye... Shajiuye is me. I have been helping you, haven't I? Just like you have used your power to change the world, I can also use my power to change it. This world. Didn't we always have a good relationship before? But even so, you never showed the slightest trace of it in front of my lovely sister. I originally hoped that as a sister, Have a closer relationship with you... Maybe in that way, I can understand you better..."

However, before Nyarlathotep finished speaking, a figure appeared behind it like a ghost. Mianmu Saotiao clenched the hilt of the sword with his right hand and pulled out the white wooden sword from his waist, carrying the shining sharp blade with him. A flash of light pierced Nyarlathotep's body!

At this moment, Nyarlathotep still had a calm smile on his face. It seemed that for him, the surprise attack of the Mianmu Zuo Bird was completely expected, but the next moment, the twisted smile on his face turned into shock—— -The tentacles emerging from the shadows tightly bound Nyarlathotep's body, completely restricting its movement.

The latter raised his head and looked forward, only to see Duanmuhuai charging towards Nyarlathotep with his right hand raised. And his tightly clenched right fist was burning with blazing flames!

Not only that, Nyarlathotep's face suddenly changed at this moment, because he could feel the breath of the flame...

Unfortunately, it's too late.

Mianmu Saatori's white wooden sword penetrated Nyarlathotep's chest from behind without mercy, causing his transformed human form to tremble subconsciously. Immediately afterwards, Duanmuhuai's flaming fist was seen hitting the face of Shajuye transformed by Nyarlathotep.

The huge impact shattered the girl's skull, and scorching flames spurted out. Mianmu Zuotiao immediately closed his hands and rolled away before he even had time to pull out his weapon - almost with the effort of his front and rear feet, it spurted out from Duanmu Huai's hand. The flames that came out completely engulfed Nyarlathotep...or Shajuye's body.

"Why……………"

Duanmuhuai could detect the shock in Nyarlathotep's eyes when he hit him. Obviously, it seemed that he had not expected the situation to develop like this.

But Duanmu Huai actually wanted to say... He had already guessed it.

Of course, this does not mean that Duanmuhuai is very smart. He noticed Shajiuye's problems from her daily actions or other clues. But because... This is Nyarlathotep's regular repertoire.

It likes to spread despair and madness, and among them, the most desperate thing is naturally the betrayal of those around you. In fact, after Duanmuhuai learned that Nyarlathotep was doing things behind his back, he had naturally become suspicious of everyone. Because according to Nyarlathotep's urinary nature, what he likes to do most is to pretend to be someone around you, observe you, play with you, then laugh at you, and finally destroy you.

It's like a movie. You don't need to be very smart. As long as you see what the movie is about, you can almost guess the plot flow in the movie.

Not to mention that Nyarlathotep is not a talented director.

Not only Siesta or Inaba Tsukiye, but even Shajiuye and Meijia were on Duanmuhuai's list of suspects.

Because - as a judge, the lesson he learned was to never trust anyone without reservation.

anyone.

Including those closest to you.

Even in the trial court, Duanmu Huai never told anyone his secrets, even the people closest to him like An and Mary. The reason is simple. Indeed, the soul card can ensure that the opponent will not be corrupted, but it is not certain that the opponent will not betray. The evil god will use many methods to seduce others into corruption, including vicious words and curses, small lies and inducements, which are often far more effective than the corruption from the subspace.

So of course, Duanmu Huai has never fully shown it in front of others.

The same goes for Shajiuye. Duanmuhuai never let her witness the process of his battle with the old rulers. On the one hand, it was to protect her, and on the other hand, it was just in case.

For the Inquisitor, there is no unreserved trust. The only person who can be trusted is always himself. Others can only be trusted to a certain extent, but only to this extent.

In fact, if Duanmu Huai had to choose, among this group of people, the one he trusted the most was not Shajiuye, but Mianmu Saotiao, because an irrational lunatic would not hide his thoughts and purposes. Therefore, when Duanmuhuai learned that Mianmu Zuotiao had killed Shajuye in his last reincarnation, he immediately doubted Shajuye, "Could this be Nyarlathotep?"

Although Shajiuye called quickly after that, Duanmuhuai did not see her in person. And if it was Nyarlathotep, it would not be difficult to change his body and be resurrected - Mianmu Saotori is only a mortal, and it is impossible to truly kill an outside god.

If she had this ability, it would be great.

However, this is not the end.

"boom!!!"

The devouring flames instantly exploded and ignited, and then, a huge monster emerged from it. Its head was like a tentacle stretched out high, with three legs and two claws. Its body was dark, and the huge mouth on its neck was roaring angrily.

"You finally revealed your true identity."

Seeing this scene, Duanmu Huai sneered, and then the flames exploded and turned into a tall titan beast.

"Now it's time for the six gods to unite and beat up the little monsters! Feel the fear of pain and destruction! Nyarlathotep!"
