Chapter 1158 Secret Investigation

One night passed.

Qianshu didn't sleep well that night, after all, everything that happened before was too much for her to accept. It's not surprising that it completely overturned her worldview, so Qianshu tossed and turned all night and couldn't sleep. Until dawn, she couldn't help but get up and knock on the door next door to find Duanmu Huai to ask about the situation.

"Have you found anything?"

"At present? Nothing at all, I'm not good at this."

Duanmu Huai, who was called by Qianshu, yawned. Sure enough, he was not suitable for these brain-intensive things. Since this was related to magic, it would be more reliable to find An or Fulilian, but Duanmu Huai couldn't call them over in his current state... Let's think of other ways.

"In short, let's go to the store for breakfast first."

Duanmu Huai didn't expect that he could solve this problem all at once. Obviously, at present, the witch was obviously not a single case, at least according to what QB said. Fortunately, Duanmu Huai had recorded the subspace fluctuation values ​​of the witch's barrier with the auspicious instrument yesterday. Next, he only needs to let the servo skull scan nearby, and then according to the values, he should be able to lock the location of those witches.

Moreover, there are many places that Duanmu Huai finds suspicious.

For example...

"If QB is really for humans as it says, then why doesn't it cooperate with Licorice? You are also doing similar work. And you are professional, which is much better than those ordinary girls?"

Leaning against the car window and looking at the scenery outside, Duanmu Huai suddenly spoke, and Qianshu was stunned when he heard Duanmu Huai's words.

"Hey? So..."

Although it was a bit unexpected, Qianshu had to admit that Duanmu Huai's words made sense. After all, Licorice was an adopted orphan, and she had received combat education and guidance since childhood, and was mentally prepared to sacrifice for combat. Even to put it cruelly, they are essentially professional soldiers. Even if they can't compare with special forces or SEALs, at least Qianshu can be sure that they are definitely more useful than ordinary girls when facing witches.

So why doesn't QB look for Licorice, but ordinary girls?

Doesn't it know about the existence of them?

Although this possibility is not impossible...

Arriving at the cafe, Qianshu changed his clothes and started his work, while Duanmu Huai continued to stay in the corner, holding a magazine and opening his laptop to continue his work. Although Qianshu had suggested that Duanmu Huai come to work in the cafe, Duanmu Huai had no interest in the service industry, and he didn't plan to greet and see off customers all day, so he stayed in the corner honestly.

After all, slacking off is the most comfortable.

Although this cafe is not a breakfast shop, it is not without similar meals. Duanmu Huai ordered coffee and sandwiches, and continued to search for news on the Internet. At the same time, at the counter, Qianshu could be heard talking happily with Mika.

"It's true, teacher! I saw it with my own eyes yesterday, a witch, and a white squirrel that can speak human language! And, that witch can also use certain methods to induce people to commit suicide!"

"What movie is this from?"

"It's not a movie!"

Obviously, Mika didn't take Qianshu's words seriously, and thought she was talking about a plot in a movie or TV series, which made Qianshu very helpless. The evidence is that when Qianshu brought the coffee and sandwich over, the whole person looked defeated.

"No, teacher doesn't believe what I say at all."

"Generally speaking, normal people won't believe it."

Duanmu Huai took a sip of the coffee and then spoke.

"You have no evidence, and what you described looks more like a nightmare scene."

"Wu... In that case, I might as well go and explain it to the commander!"

"What do you want to say? Say that there is a witch endangering this city? Even if your commander believes what you said, what do you think you can do against such a monster?"

"This... ..."

Hearing this, Qian Shu was speechless. Indeed, as Duanmu Huai said, although they, Li Kolis, are also good at fighting, their opponents are humans. Facing such a monster that is beyond imagination and incomprehensible... Well, Qian Shu is Li Kolis's elite trump card. Even she can't do anything with those weird things. It can be imagined that others will be even worse.

"But, but I think I still need to explain this to the commander. Anyway, since we already know that there are such strange and scary things in this world, we must be careful. What if other Likolis are accidentally attacked by witches while performing their missions?"

"Whatever you want."

Duanmu Huai shrugged his shoulders indifferently to Qianshu's words.

"Just do it if you want to. I'm not stopping you anyway, right?"

"Is it okay? Shouldn't this kind of thing be a secret?"

Looking at Duanmu Huai's indifferent expression, Qian Shu was also very surprised. You know, even Li Kelisi is kept secret from the outside world, and it can even be said that most citizens don't know their existence at all. And they are just dealing with some ordinary criminals. This witch is more terrifying than the criminals that Li Kelisi dealt with.

"It's not a secret or not. After all, this kind of thing is more outrageous than ordinary urban legends..."

As he spoke, Duanmu Huai pointed to the magazine next to him.

"Look, what we said is actually written in this magazine, right? People wrote it openly, but do you think anyone took it seriously? Before this, you didn't think this was really happening."

"Ah..."

Looking at the supernatural magazine next to Duanmu Huai, Qian Shu's expression suddenly became quite exciting. Indeed, before this, even she didn't think that the content of this third-rate supernatural magazine would be true.

"Well, I'll go out first."

At this moment, Duanmu Huai finished his sandwich, drank his coffee in two or three sips, and then stood up.

"Where are you going?"

"I'm going to talk to the editor of this magazine. Since he can find so much information, it means that he is not the kind of reporter who just makes groundless accusations. Maybe he can find some clues."

"Then I'll go too............!!

"Qian Shu."

However, just as Qian Shu was happily preparing to go out with Duanmu Huai, Mika poked her head out from the counter and called her. At this time, Qian Shu seemed to remember that she still had work to do, and she lowered her head dejectedly, but soon she excitedly waved to Duanmu Huai.

"Then I'll wait for you here. When you come back, you must tell me what you have investigated."

"Got it."

Looking at Qian Shu, who was as lively as a golden retriever, Duanmu Huai also smiled slightly, waved at her, and then walked out of the cafe.

"Urban Legends" Editorial Department

This is a magazine editorial office located in a remote area of ​​the metropolitan area. Just from the shabby three-story building and the surrounding environment, it can be seen that the business itself is probably shaky. However, a magazine editorial office that makes a living by reporting urban supernatural programs is almost the same.

Duanmu Huai retracted his gaze around, then walked to the shabby door of the editorial office in front of him and reached out to knock on the door.

"The door is not locked, come in."

Soon, a lazy voice came from the door, and it seemed that the man had just woken up. Hearing the other party's words, Duanmu Huai also pushed the door open and walked straight in.

The small editorial office was in chaos, with scattered papers everywhere, and some thrown aside, like unfinished books. In front of the desk, a man wearing a sweater vest and messy hair was climbing up from the table with red eyes. Judging from the ashtray full of cigarette butts beside him, this man was probably also a night owl.

"Eh? Excuse me, who are you?"

The man was obviously a little surprised to see Duanmu Huai come in, which was normal. After all, it was a strange thing for a girl who was wrapped in a cloak and didn't even show her face to come to such a chaotic and dilapidated place.

"My name is Duanmu Ai."

Duanmu Huai didn't waste any words. He took out the magazine from his robe and put it on the table.

"I came here to talk to the author of this article."

"This is what I wrote."

"Who are you?"

"I'm the editor Teng Chuan."

The man named Teng Chuan introduced himself and stared at Duanmu Huai warily.

"Is there anything wrong with this article?"

"I'm curious."

Duanmu Huai raised his head and stared into Teng Chuan's eyes.

"I've read this article. I just want to know why you want to investigate these? And where did you know about the witch's curse?"

"……………………What do you mean? This is just an urban supernatural legend…………"

"Don't be perfunctory."

Duanmu Huai interrupted Teng Chuan's pale and weak defense.

"I have been to that factory and eliminated the witch entrenched there, so you don't have to treat me as an idiot who is ignorant and comes here just out of curiosity to seek excitement."

"You............?"

Hearing this, Teng Chuan was stunned for a moment, and then chuckled.

"No matter what you say, this is just a supernatural story, Miss. I know that girls of your age like this kind of story the most, but this is just......"

"Boom!!"

However, before Teng Chuan finished speaking, Duanmu Huai suddenly flashed and appeared in front of Teng Chuan. Then the next moment, the thunder hammer was swung directly from her hand, brushing Teng Chuan's cheek and smashing directly on the wall behind him.

"…………………………"

Until then, Teng Chuan seemed to react. He looked at Duanmu Huai in front of him in surprise, and the huge hammer in his hand. For a moment, he didn't know what to say.

"My patience is limited, Mr. Teng Chuan."

Duanmu Huai stared at Teng Chuan.

"Although I don't like to use my brain, I also hate others to treat me as an idiot."

"………………"

After hearing Duanmu Huai's words, Editor Tengchuan did not speak, but just looked at Duanmu Huai in silence.

"……………Are you the magical girl?"

"Hmm?"

Faced with Editor Tengchuan's question, Duanmu Huai raised his eyebrows again.

"From your appearance, it seems that you do know something?"

"Of course."

Faced with Duanmu Huai's question, Editor Tengchuan smiled bitterly. Then, he lit a cigarette, took a puff, and then looked at Duanmu Huai.

"Because my niece was probably killed by the witch."

Then, Editor Tengchuan spoke.
