The world of beauty drama begins with the surrender of Jason

Chapter 439

As the second largest metropolitan city in the northwest after Seattle, Portland has always had a steady and positive economic growth, a good per capita income, and a beautiful natural environment. Therefore, it has been rated as one of the most livable cities in the federal government for many years.

Correspondingly, there is the problem of how difficult it is to live in Chang'an. Faced with rising housing prices, ordinary people with limited financial resources can only sigh in despair and live in old apartments in the city.

But for the middle and upper classes with more financial resources, a detached house in the suburbs nestled among mountain flowers and green trees is a more appropriate choice.

"Are there no traces of any evil supernatural forces left?"

Nick asked in disbelief, gently placing the freshly opened bottle of champagne in his hand on the dark wooden workbench in front of him, his shiny dark eyebrows involuntarily twisted into the shape of the Chinese character "川".

"At least I didn't notice that Ms. Nancy's body and room were very clean."

Zhu Mingyao answered casually while pulling out a strange-shaped dagger from the weapon rack on the wall and admiring it.

His thumb brushed across the wavy blade edge with overlapping cloud patterns, and the Xuanmen energy and the enchanted magic on the sword interacted with each other, creating a layer of cold and misty halo.

Looking around, every corner was filled with swords, spears, halberds, shields, muskets and other valuable and extraordinary weapons, making this spacious studio look more like a showroom.

Compared to the hard and miserable life of a detective who had to work hard and pay for killing monsters at his own expense in the original world line, after joining the official channel, this impoverished man from a demon hunter family is now well-off and can enjoy a life of debauchery.

But even though he is in a wealthy and comfortable life, he still sticks to his original intention of punishing evil and promoting good. For such a friend, Zhu Mingyao believes that it is worthwhile to help him once.

"That's really weird. Am I just imagining things? Was the reappearance of that monster really just a dream?" Nick touched his chin in confusion. His big hands rubbed against the rough stubble that hadn't been shaved for several days, making a sound like fine sandpaper polishing.

He had no doubts about the results of the reconnaissance. Although he could not claim to know his companions' specific strengths well, the evaluation of the [High-level Lord-level] spellcasters in the secret files of the Special Investigation Bureau alone was convincing enough.

When it comes to finding clues, they are much better than a barbarian like me who specializes in hand-to-hand combat.

Zhu Mingyao glanced at him sideways, coughed out a cold laugh in annoyance:
"How is that possible? If there is no shameful secret, why would your superiors strictly prevent the investigation? Isn't that why you asked me for help?

Don't bother trying to persuade me, I know what's right."

The young man clapped his hands, and a thick booklet appeared in his palms. The papers filled with words flipped open and then stopped at a certain page.

Several lines of carefully cut old newspapers were pasted together. The article printed with water-based ink had become a little blurred due to the passage of time, but the handwriting as a whole was still clearly visible.

"The horrific Salt Lake City Elm Street Massacre was solved today. The suspect, who was mentally disturbed due to drug overdose, was shot dead by the police at the scene of the crime. Please pay attention to this newspaper for other related news..."

Freddy, the murderous demon from Nightmare on Elm Street!
If we were to select the top ten most ferocious villains from all American movies and TV series, this demon who is good at sneaking into people's dreams and killing victims in various ways would probably be among the top three.

Such a famous classic was naturally the focus of observation in Zhu Mingyao's monster-killing guide. He even deduced several targeted methods based on the plot of the movie. When he was ready to become stronger, he would look for opportunities to turn it into a reward.

However, even the wisest man can make mistakes. After he carefully searched for relevant information, he regretfully discovered that this guy had been killed more than ten years ago, and his horrific legend had just begun and ended.

It turned out that the "punitive" plan that he had carefully planned was already behind the boss strategy in the game version.

Zhu Mingyao, who was still young at that time, laughed at himself and put away the arrogance of a time traveler.

It seems normal. Since there is a real inheritance of supernatural power in this world, how can those demons and monsters run rampant like in the original book? Those who dare to be arrogant will definitely be singled out and killed.

"According to the records of that year, the nightmare demon "Freddy" was a perverted murderer who had awakened psychic powers. After his death, he underwent an unknown transformation and turned into a demonic undead. He gained the unique ability to travel through dreams, committed several murders, and was eventually eliminated by the action team sent by the government."

Nick's face darkened, and he slowly spoke out his guess:

"Now it seems that the one who died might have been just a substitute, and the authorities secretly recruited him?" He took out the blade fragment again, hesitated for a moment, and continued.

"But its remains were brought back from the scene at that time, and the inspection report was very complete, confirming that it had been destroyed."

Zhu Mingyao flicked his finger on the snake-shaped dagger, and a clear metallic sound echoed.

"This alone is not enough to explain anything, but when combined with the missing case you are investigating, it makes people start to make associations..."

Yes, the cause of this incident was not actually Freddy's reappearance, but a series of strange disappearances.

The victims were all young men and women with outstanding appearances. Without exception, they mysteriously disappeared after falling asleep in their bedrooms. Moreover, since they were basically born in poor lower classes, they would hardly attract any attention unless Nick discovered them by accident.

During his pursuit, he happened to find that one of the missing persons lived on the same street as Ms. Nancy, who had once escaped from Freddy, and the latter had just reported her experience.

The similarity of their methods instantly aroused Nick's vigilance, and his request for superiors to send support to re-examine the files was strangely rejected, which made him more certain that there must be something fishy!
As the captain of the Special Investigation Bureau's combat team in charge of supernatural crimes, he holds a low position but great power. The fact that his opinions could be suppressed so lightly shows that there must be a big shot behind the scenes intervening and exerting pressure.

"Do you remember? According to Ms. Nancy's description, there was something strangely discordant about Freddy's behavior."

Zhu Mingyao sheathed his sword and pointed out calmly:

"Instead of hurting Ms. Nancy, it said it happened to meet an old friend and came to visit?"

"That just proves that the missing case must be related to him!" Nick clenched his fist and slammed his palm.

"If my guess is correct, who is this guy working for now? This is against his evil and bloodthirsty nature, and his actions are restrained. The master behind him is very strict with him!"

The two of them talked to each other, and in a short time, they figured out the general idea of ​​the matter.

At this moment, the cell phone in Nick's arms buzzed. As soon as he answered the call, his expression suddenly changed.

"A new missing person has appeared?"

It was expected that the other party would continue to commit crimes, but Zhu Mingyao heard a deeper level of surprise in his voice.

Nick let out a breath of cold air and regretfully shook the wine he hadn't had time to drink yet. The amber nectar hit the wall of the glass and produced fine bubbles.

"You probably can't guess who the victim is this time?"

"Ok?"

"not human!"
