Restraint Card Creator

Chapter 112 "The Invisible Subversive"

He was also a person who was squatted in the same prison back then, and now he is a fellow villager, with tears in his eyes.

"I remember you are... Mr. Xu! Mr. Xu, right?"

"It's Xu," the old man rolled his eyes, "His full name is Xu Youguang, former Director of the Xingzhu City Investigator Association's Cult Management Division."

"Oh! I just said your surname is Xu. I heard about it from Team Lu at the time."

"Why are you here?" Elder Xu asked after changing the subject.

"I'm here for a casual stroll, to see if there is any oil... idle cultists." Li Ming shrugged. He is now officially an investigator, so it's not too against his will to say this.

"Oh, that's fine." The old man looked Li Ming up and down, "We received information that there is a suspected temporary stronghold of a cult in Xingmei City, so we came to have a look."

"You?" Li Ming didn't believe it.

Elder Xu: "..."

A dignified investigator, who had his legs broken and himself thrown into a dungeon, even persuaded himself to be open-minded and take life and death lightly.

Now you tell me, you went to Xingmei City to investigate the cult?

Well, it's normal to feel unbelief.

"Ahem," Mr. Xu hid his embarrassment with a cough, and then put his hands behind his back, posing as an outsider, "I know what you're thinking, don't think I'm weak, but As an investigator, the most important ability should be the ability to investigate."

"Don't just think about solving everything with combat. I am very good at various abilities such as negotiation, investigation, listening, and psychology."

Seeing the seriousness of what he said, Li Ming nodded slightly.

Occasionally, there are various hidden missions and detection missions on the Xingzhu Investigation APP, but Li Ming usually does not take up such missions. After all, there is no way to earn rations for Shoggoths without encountering evil things.

As for Mr. Xu's highlight moment...

Li Ming thought about the scene when he first met Mr. Xu.

Well, with his strength, he must be often discovered by the investigation target and thrown into the dungeon, so he should be familiar with all kinds of dungeons.

Seeing Li Ming's pensive look, Mr. Xu nodded with satisfaction: "Okay, anyway, we just met, let's touch it first, and we'll talk about it later."

Elder Xu glanced around, and after making sure that there was no one there, he took Li Ming and sneaked into the luxury villa.

It has to be said that although Old Xu may be a bit lackluster in terms of combat effectiveness, he has a lot of strange spell cards that can be used for investigation.

First, he went to the outside of the villa wall and used a piece of [Cave Plastic Technique] to directly form a two-meter-high wall hole out of thin air, and then used a piece of [Wall Plastic Technique] to refill the wall.

When he and Li Ming were walking in, Elder Xu used another [Breathing Containment Technique] and [Silent Step] to block out the sound of their footsteps. A series of operations really surprised Li Ming.

Seriously, it's pretty professional.

In the process of walking forward, Mr. Xu reminded Li Ming from time to time: "Pay attention, we are only here to investigate, and we must not be discovered by anyone. It will be very troublesome if we startle the snake."

"understood."

Li Ming nodded heavily, don't be discovered by anyone, right?

understood!

Seeing Li Ming nodding seriously, Mr. Xu felt a little relieved.

He knew that Li Ming had obtained the official establishment of investigators, and Li Ming was much stronger than himself the moment he made the first card, so it was better for him to protect himself.

As for Li Ming.

He simply thought that Mr. Xu should know more information than himself, so it would be fine to follow him.

Anyway, the real purpose of his coming here is just to see if there is anything to search for. It is really not easy to find the card storage room of the general stronghold of the cult. With an investigator with outstanding investigative ability, at least he can ask him inquire about.

In this way, the two approached the villa little by little with their respective goals in mind.

A not-so-strong investigator like Mr. Xu would naturally not take the risk of going through the main entrance. The two reached the side of the villa, and Mr. Xu directly took out a piece of [Lightweight Technique] and put a punch on himself and Li Ming. BUFF.

After feeling the weight decrease, Mr. Xu rushed up directly, and reached the roof within a few steps.

And Li Ming also followed behind him, really experiencing the thrill of using cards to take shortcuts.

I was thinking about whether I should make a set of cards like this in the future, but I heard Xu Lao complain.

"Hey, I guess I'll have to pay a small [-] yuan to get in this set. I hope I can gain something this time." Mr. Xu shook his head, and took the time to pat his purse.

Fine.

With such a simple sentence, all Li Ming's fantasies disappeared in an instant.

shortcut?what shortcut?Is there any shortcut?
When I met a villa that I wanted to investigate, I would just ask Dagon to knock down the door with a punch, or at worst let Shoggoth lift himself up.

A bunch of gimmicky and useless spell cards that cost ten thousand dollars don't exist.

After a few words in their hearts, the two arrived at the attic without making any sound.

Reaching out to fan them and almost choking on their own dust, the two opened the attic cover and slowly moved to the third floor of the villa.

The first thing I came to was a bedroom on the third floor, which contained some very ordinary items, with all kinds of decorations.

Li Ming didn't pay much attention to it, he didn't want these things.

On the contrary, Old Xu's eyes were bright because he saw a huge vase standing on the table.

The vase is like a mysterious ancient artifact descended from the mortal world. It is as transparent and simple as glass. The light passes through the glass, setting off its interior to be resplendent and resplendent, like thousands of skylights pouring into it.

Next to it is an oil painting that looks a bit clumsy. Although the brushstrokes are not very skilled, the gorgeous and exquisite colors are shining with a different kind of smell.

"Did you see, this vase is very expensive and priceless; and this painting, I heard that it was painted by an art student who failed the ranking in history, and then he activated... Hey, what are you doing?"

Before Elder Xu finished speaking, Li Ming summoned Shoggoth directly.

Ever since Shoggoth rose to nine stars, it has been able to control its body perfectly, and even the protoplasmic swell as the core looks like a small lump, so soft and cute.

Without any hesitation, Li Ming picked up the vase and oil painting and threw them at Shoggoth.

The shoggoth was also very smart. It didn't open its mouth to chew, but caught all the things Li Ming threw and transported them slowly along the window to the outside of the wall.

In the process of transporting things, the tentacles of Shoggoth are so thin that they are less than one centimeter thick. From a distance, they look like those precious antique relics floating in the sky.

After transporting the things out, Shoggoth thoughtfully shaped a shovel to dig on the spot, hiding all the things before taking the tentacles back.

Mr. Xu was stunned: "You... what are you doing?"

"Didn't you say that this thing is worth money? I'll earn some rations for Xiuji." Li Ming stretched out his hand and gently poked Shoggoth's protoplasmic swollen bubble, and heard it chirp a few times.

"Then why don't you do that!"

Mr. Xu was also very decisive, and directly took out a piece of [biological imitation object] and shaped an object similar to the vase and oil painting just now, which looked exactly the same.

Later, he didn't blame Li Ming, but just said, "Be careful in the future."

Li Ming: "..."

Looking at the vase and oil painting that looked exactly the same at a glance, Li Ming was stunned for a moment.

Holy crap, are you so professional?
"Then, we..." Li Ming pointed to another room.

Mr. Xu was silent for a moment, and finally choked out a sentence: "I am four and you are six."

"middle."

After that, Li Ming followed Mr. Xu to search all the way.

I have to say that Mr. Xu really knows the goods. He can spot the valuable oil paintings and antiques at a glance. Occasionally, he will sneer at the fakes on display, and judge harshly where the main problems of these fake and shoddy products are.

Li Ming seemed to understand, but seeing that the old man reached out to knock on the mouth of the bottle, and took out a magnifying glass to observe the strokes of the oil painting carefully, he felt that it was not a lie that this man boasted about his outstanding investigative ability.

Or not like fake.

Anyway, follow the boss to steal things behind and it's over!

Although in this world of card makers, the price of antiques would not be ridiculously expensive, but with such a set of operations, the money for a few months of repairs should be enough.

However, during the search along the way, a question gradually emerged in Li Ming's mind.

Why is there no one in this villa?

Not to mention whether there is anyone, even Mr. Xu said that this villa seems to have been unoccupied for at least a week, and even a light layer of dust has accumulated on the door.

And Li Ming also encountered a strange thing. The person he had been following before seemed to disappear after entering the villa, as if he had never appeared before, without leaving even a footprint.

You can't hit a ghost.

Mr. Xu still remembered his business, and he glanced around: "This villa should be an illusion, or the villa was simply snatched by them."

"Oh... Then let's contact the Real Estate Administration and ask them?"

"That's too troublesome." Mr. Xu shook his head, and then took out a card.

I saw that spell card gradually turned into a stream of light, then suddenly fell to the ground and spread out towards the surroundings.

Soon, the surrounding dozens of paths gradually withered, leaving only one still emitting light.

Li Ming and Mr. Xu hurriedly followed Liu Guang, and soon came to a study.

Good guy, the study room, there are secret passages in this place at first glance!
"Xiuji, come, look for it."

The lump of Xiuji lying in Li Ming's hand immediately stretched out more than a dozen tentacles, and began to rummage through every decoration.

Soon, it finds a book that doesn't seem quite right.

One pull, sure enough.

The entrance to the basement is presented with a bang!

And above the entrance, there is a huge sign painted.

"This is..." Old Xu narrowed his eyes slightly.

"The symbol of the "Invisible Subversive"! "
