Chapter 1872

"You don't look very well, Mr. Francis."

Looking at Francis in front of him, Fang Zheng sighed, then he made a gesture, and soon ASAKURA came to serve him a cup of coffee. In fact, as Fang Zheng said, Francis now looks very embarrassed. He looks pale, sweaty, and even disheveled. He looks like a lover who was found by the principal when he was cheating and then jumped out of the window to escape.

"Have some coffee first, maybe it will make you feel better."

"Thank you, thank you..."

Francis took a deep breath, took a few sips of coffee and finally relaxed. Then he looked uneasily at NIMF and ASAKURA Liangzi beside founder.

"Well, I have some personal matters..."

"It doesn't matter, Mr. Francis. They are my assistants and know a lot about it."

"Yes, it is..."

Hearing Fang Zheng's reply, Francis nodded. Then he put down the box in his hand, took out a document from his arms and handed it to Fang Zheng. At the same time, Francis told Fang Zheng about his experiences in these days.

After the nightmare of insmouth, Francis was also greatly stimulated. In order to divert his attention, he gave up the next trip and immediately started his own journey to find his roots. He found his family in Arkham, and then began to trace his ancestors. Then Francis found a piece of information that shocked him.

His mother's family, the ancestor, once married a woman surnamed marsh in Arkham. And marsh is exactly the name Francis heard from the drunk old man in insulmouth about the actual dominators of insulmouth. Not only that, the old man had told Francis before that the head of marsh family had married one of those terrible monsters who climbed up from the bottom of the sea, and then had three children, two of whom remained here because they kept the shape of monsters. The last daughter was sent to Europe to study because she was still in human form. Then the patriarch played some tricks and let a man living in Arkham marry her.

Hearing this, Francis felt creepy, which made him think of some bad memories. Although they were just vague memories, I don't know why, Francis was very scared at the moment.

One of those monsters, a woman who looks like a human, married a man who lived in Arkham. In my own family, my mother's grandparents, that is, my great grandmother's generation, did marry a woman surnamed marsh.

But at that time, Francis just felt that he was too nervous, and that the memory he had left for him in Innsmouth was too deep.

But after that, when he saw his uncle's jewelry that belonged to his great grandmother, Francis almost collapsed.

That kind of weird style, the terror and distortion that people can hardly look directly at, although extremely exquisite, but also the existence of extremely fear It's the same thing he saw in the old town as in Innsmouth! It is said that these exquisite creations came from the deep sea and were the gift of the great gods, but at this moment, in Francis's view, they were the emissaries of demons.

"I, I don't even know what to do I passed out at that time, then I woke up, I, I don't know who to look for, so Mr. van Helsing, please help me. What can I do? Will I be the same as those people in Innsmouth No, I don't know, but I won't... "

"Well, calm down first, Mr. Francis."

Fang Zheng reached out and patted his hand.

"Are you worried about becoming a deep diver Well, I can't give you a definite word about this, but if you think about it carefully, no one in your family has become like that since your great grandmother. Do you know that great grandmother? "

"No, I don't know..." I heard she died very early. "

"Well, let's not talk about her. What about your mother? What about your grandparents? "

"My mother..."

Speaking of this, Francis gradually calmed down.

"My mother is also very normal, ah, by the way, my mother never takes us back to my grandparents' home, but when my grandfather comes, she always treats him warmly, and my grandfather is also very kind to me Grandmother I haven't seen... "

"So you don't have to worry. Do you still have the brooch I gave you?"

"Certainly, sir."

As he spoke, Francis took out the brooch.

"It seems to be a very valuable thing..."

"Yes, it's for you."

"Why?"

"It has the power to expel evil. You can rest assured if you leave it by your side."

"Well, I'm sorry..."Although he said sorry, Francis took the brooch back into his pocket, and his expression seemed relaxed.

"But, sir, I still want to continue the investigation, that What are those monsters? I'm afraid. I always think that if I let go like this, something more terrible will happen

"It doesn't matter. It's on me. I'll find someone to investigate."

"Well? Mr. Fan Haixin, don't you plan to investigate by yourself? "

"I'm not good at investigating this mess."

Fang Zheng spread his hands and shrugged his shoulders. He had no interest in being Conan.

"I'll entrust it to professionals. Don't worry. I'll let you know if there's any results."

"Good..." Well, this is my phone. Please contact me if you find anything

"No problem."

"As for fees..."

"Let's talk about it then. We're acquaintances. We won't pit you."

You don't have much money. You might as well go to the Federal Reserve.

After he entrusted the matter to founder, Francis seemed to relax a lot, and soon left. As for the box he brought with him, it was his great grandmother's jewelry. Because he felt so disgusted that he didn't want to stay with him, he simply gave it to founder for safekeeping, and then left.

"That's interesting."

After Francis left, Fang Zheng opened the box, took out the contents and carefully examined them. In this small box, there are four pieces of jewelry, namely, bracelets, earrings, brooches and rings. As Francis said, each piece is a beautifully carved work of art, and as Francis said, each piece is full of twisted malice.

The twisted ring looks like the tentacles of Octopus entangled together, and the gem looks like vivid eyes Well, it's a nightmare.

"How do you feel?"

Out of curiosity, Fang Zheng inquired about nimfu and ASAKURA Liangzi, but

"Very strange jewelry."

"It looks beautiful."

They stare at the gesture carefully, but do not give a particularly low evaluation.

"Don't you think something's wrong or disgusting?"

“………………”

They looked at each other and then shook their heads.

"I'm sorry, but in my opinion, it's just ordinary jewelry, master."

"Information entanglement is very stable. I don't feel anything abnormal, master."

They responded in different ways.

Well Is it related to their race?

After all, whether it's an omnipotent angel or a humanoid interface, in the final analysis, it's a kind of machine For them, this may be the same as the image information obtained by the computer through the camera, which itself will not produce any special feeling.

"Then, master, how shall we investigate next?"

"I'm not going to ask you to investigate."

However, founder waved his hand.

"Why?"

"There is no Internet in this world, NIMF. It's hard for you to collect information."

"I, I can use the phone line..."

Said here, nimfu is also helpless to hang his head. Indeed, in this relatively backward world, even satellites have not appeared yet She took her head to collect information!

"Then give it to me, please."

"No, I have professionals. You'd better stay and take care of NIMF."

Fang Zheng refused ASAKURA Liangzi's request, who knows what her so-called "search" will look like.

"I'm going out now. Please prepare dinner."

"No problem, master. What would you like to eat?"

"Whatever. You can do it."

Chaocang Liangzi's cooking skills are still very good. There are not many people around founder who can make good dishes. There are not enough five chaocang Liangzi. Besides Xia Shi, other people can't cook three meals a day for themselves in 365 days.

In fact, Zuo Tian's skill is not bad, but Well, it's just good.

"Yes, then eat hot pot. I'll prepare fresh ingredients."

In the face of ASAKURA Liangzi's report, Fang Zheng waved his hand, then picked up the jewelry box and walked out of the door.

Akam city is not big or small, but founder has nothing to do with spreading around these days, but he is clear about the situation of this city. At present, the reason why he went out, as mentioned before, is that this matter is going to be handed over to professionals.

What is a professional?

Detective, of course!Different from Maori Kogoro's kind of Shanzhai office, the detective office in front of us is the kind often seen in old movies. The old style folding curtains cover the glass, and you can see the brilliance of the room. On the table, a man in western style clothes is sitting there napping.

Well It's not the same as Sherlock Holmes, but forget it.

Thinking of this, Fang Zheng stretched out his hand and knocked on the door. Then he saw the detective who was dozing in the room. He was startled. Then he woke up quickly and patted his face. Then he looked at the door.

"Come in, please."

"Excuse me."

Fang Zheng opened the door and entered the room.

"Excuse me, this is Valentine's detective office, right?"

"Yes, I am Nick Valentine."

The man in front of him laughed, stood up and made a gesture to founder.

"Sit down, please. Would you like a whisky?"

"No, I don't drink."

"Oh, are you a Puritan?"

"No, I'm not religious. I just think drinking is bad for my health."

"That's too bad. Drinking is a great pleasure in life."

Detective Valentine picked up the bottle, poured a glass of wine into his glass, and drank it all.

"Then, sir, what can I do for you?"

"Well, I have a commission."

Fang Zheng stretched out his hand, took out a piece of jewelry from his arms and put it in front of Valentine. Valentine squinted at the jewel.

"This is..."

"It's interesting, isn't it?"

"It's really interesting, and I'm sorry. I think it's a bit too much fun. "

Valentine narrowed his eyes and gazed at the Brooch - different from the ring, the carving on the brooch was a strange looking monster with an octopus head. It looked as if it was sitting on a toilet, its knees were bent up, and the eye socket was carved with exquisite patterns. But I don't know why, when detective Valentine saw this thing, he felt sick, even a little nauseous.

"Well, I think so, too."

Fang Zheng took a handkerchief and put it on the brooch. After he didn't need to see the brooch, detective Valentine was relieved. Then he picked up the glass and took another sip of wine. Finally, he dispelled the restlessness.

"Then, this gentleman? You want me to... "

"As a matter of fact, these jewels were handed over to me by my client. Let me help him with some things."

"Your client? Are you a detective, too? "

"No, I'm a mercenary."

"Mercenaries..."

Facing this unexpected answer, Valentine seems a little surprised.

"In short, combat is my business, but investigation is not, so I came to you, Mr. Nick Valentine."

"Well, what do you want me to investigate?"

"As for the pattern of that brooch, I can tell you that the pattern on this brooch comes from an evil sect, which my client and I are pursuing, but as I said before, I am a mercenary, not a detective. It's my job to fight head-on, but by contrast, it's a bit troublesome for me to investigate. "

Founder has no choice but to spread out his hand. The information deviation in this world is a headache for founder. The results given in the news article are all messy and useless. There was no way to use the magic of the prophecy system, so Fang Zheng had no choice but to use it.

"So, I hope you can look for clues about this cult and their location and so on, but I want to remind you in advance that this is very dangerous work."

As he spoke, Fang Zheng reached into his arms and took out a stack of Franklin.

"I can pay you enough money, but you don't need to take risks. You just have enough information and give it to me."

"It sounds very relaxed."

"It's really easy, if you're not afraid of death."

“……………”

Hearing Fang Zheng's reply, Valentine was silent for a moment. Then he stood up and extended his hand to Fang Zheng.

"Well, I'll take the Commission."
