With Nicole holding a gun to her waist, the middle-aged woman led the two of them into the house.
Ronald was last, looked around at the residential streets, and then closed the door.
Click——
"Go over and squat down."
When she heard Ronald locking the door behind her, Nicole did not relax her vigilance.
After pointing at the woman and asking her to stay in the corner.
The investigator girl asked sternly:
"Tell me, what happened to the scream three days ago?"
"Even if you are not from here, you should understand what this means!"
Nicole's tone when pressing the question was very firm, and it sounded like, 'If you dare to lie, I will shoot you immediately!'
Her body was trembling slightly. The middle-aged woman did not hide the fear in her eyes and quickly explained:
"It's a statue, a statue left behind by my grandfather!"
"Three days...three days ago in the morning."
"I was cleaning the house."
"As a result, an ornamental statue left behind by my grandfather suddenly began to shake on the table, and at the same time it made that ear-piercing scream."
"I was so scared at the time that I didn't dare touch that thing."
"As a result, the statue screamed for a while and then fell to the ground. After it broke into pieces, it stopped moving."
Nicole frowned and continued to ask:
"Then why don't you report to us?"
After timidly stealing a glance at Nicole, the middle-aged woman explained tremblingly:
"I...I'm scared..."
"..."
Hearing this answer, a look of helplessness leaked from Nicole's eyes, and she paused for two seconds before speaking again:
"All right."
"So where are the fragments of the statue now? Don't tell me they were thrown away?"
The middle-aged woman immediately replied:
"I didn't dare to move the fragments. I just kept them on the ground and covered them with a piece of cloth."
"Take us to see it."
"I see."
Nodding, the woman led the two of them toward the back.
Not far into the house, they stopped at the door of a room on the side of the restaurant.
Standing outside the door, you can see a curtain covering some scattered things on the ground next to a fairly clean table.
"Is this the statue fragment you are talking about?"
Nicole immediately asked, and the woman immediately answered:
"Yes, that's it."
"I haven't dared to touch this thing for the past two days, so I'll show you..."
As she spoke, the woman stepped forward and stretched out her hand to lift the curtain, but at that moment, Nicole stopped her movement with a loud shout.
"Stop!"
"Straighten your waist and walk farther away!"
"Don't come near that thing!"
At the same time, the investigator girl's gun was pointed firmly at the woman, not leaving her body for even a second.
Immediately, Nicole ordered Ronald behind her:
"Ronald, go find a longer pole or something, pick up the piece of cloth, and remember not to touch it directly."
"no problem."
Ronald nodded and left, quickly picking up the fire tongs hanging on the side from the fireplace in the hall.
Returning to the previous position, the situation here was still that Nicole was pointing a gun at the woman, while the other woman was trembling all over, with a fearful expression on her face and did not dare to move, but quietly watched the investigators in action.
Ronald and Nicole looked at each other, then stepped forward and carefully clamped the curtain up with pliers.
I'a—I'a—!
Cthulhu—Fhatgn!
For a moment, a violent feeling of dizziness appeared in the brain.
When Ronald opened the curtain, the two of them saw the debris on the ground.
Among the things that can be identified in the fragments are parts that look like bat wings, and some that look like octopus tentacles.
While his brain was in chaos, Ronald realized what was happening.
Although he had such a conjecture before, he never expected that this quite famous literary work on earth would appear in front of him in this world so quickly.
R'lye Candy Company's Business...
It’s really vast!
Unlike Ronald who was shocked by the origin of this thing, Nicole's reaction was faster and more violent.
Without any hesitation, she directly pulled the trigger in her hand despite the severe pain.
boom--
The sound of bullets sounded in the room.
Without the masking sound of the runes before, the sound of bullets entering the flesh can be clearly heard.
"Damn investigators!"
"Why did you come and interrupt me at a time like this?"
At this time, the woman who looked timid just now became completely different from before.
Just ignore the pain of the bullet piercing your body.
While the expression on her face revealed madness and hostility, green blood began to flow from the wounds on her body, making her look like a terrifying monster.
Snapped--
With a strong kick of her feet, the woman threw herself at the investigator girl in front of her.
Because the two of them were too close, and there was still intense pain in their minds.
Nicole only had time to shoot the guy one more time and was immediately thrown to the ground.
The two people soon fell into a ball and started fighting on the ground.
During this period, as the fists and kicks were exchanged, the gunshots belonging to the investigator girl also continued to sound, and the bullets were shot into the enemy's body at a very close distance.
However, this type of injury that could kill an ordinary person with just one bullet seemed to have no effect on this woman.
Even though blood splattered, she remained unmoved and entangled with Nicole.
"Damn it!"
"Ronald, be careful!"
While cursing the situation in front of her, Nicole opened her mouth to remind Ronald and at the same time, she lightly scratched her body with her fingers.
——The spell takes effect.
The next moment, tremendous power burst out from the girl's delicate body.
With just one kick, the woman was kicked out in front of Nicole and hit hard against the wall not far away. She even brought the bricks of the wall with her and collapsed into the next door.
"It's so exciting to play with me so early in the morning!"
Nicole jumped up from the ground with one hand on the ground, looking very ugly.
While her left hand reached into her pocket to grab the bullet, she also cast her gaze behind the broken wall.
However, the figure of that woman...
He didn't stand up from behind a room with broken walls.
The whole room was empty and quiet, except for the traces left by the fight between the two, as if nothing had ever appeared here.
"Rona..."
not good!
Got hit!
Just as she was about to remind herself of the newcomers she had brought here, Nicole immediately realized that something was not right about her situation.
During the fight between her and the woman, Ronald was supposed to make some moves.
At some point, he actually disappeared into the room!
The investigator girl immediately recited the incantation and activated the emergency spell she had arranged on her body early in the morning.
Judgment based on the intelligence and encounters obtained previously.
Either he fell into the illusion created by the enemy, or his brain was affected by the pain just now.
The first priority at this moment is to protect yourself and then eliminate the abnormalities on your body.
As for Ronald, who was investigating the situation with her...
