Even if Fang Zheng was beaten to death, he would never have thought that the golden legend he created turned out to be a crowbar?

Bah, what the hell is this thing for?!

It’s not like I don’t have weapons!

That extra-dimensional touch is useless! But...

Thinking of this, Fang Zheng narrowed his eyes. He opened the system again and pulled out the previous title of [Evil God Destroyer] and scanned it. He always felt that there seemed to be some meaning hidden in the description of this title, but so far, Fang Zheng has not completely figured it out...

“Boom boom boom.”

At this moment, there was a knock on the door. Fang Zheng frowned and turned off the system prompt. At the same time, Asakura Ryoko also came to the door.

"Excuse me, who is it?"

"It's me, and Mr. Francis is here too."

Soon, Detective Valentine's voice came from outside, and Fang Zheng nodded. Seeing his gesture, Asakura Ryoko opened the door, and then the two of them walked into the room.

"Okay, sit down, anything else?"

Fang Zheng leaned back on the sofa and looked at the two of them with a smile. The two of them looked at each other, and then Francis spoke first.

"Um... Mr. Van Helsing, we are here to ask you... "

"Um?"

"It's about the things we saw before."

Compared to Francis who was hesitant, Valentine obviously went straight to the point.

"You know, we just went to see the unconscious crew members... In fact, they are now unconscious..."

"Oh, that's a pity. You can let them drink more mineral water to replenish their bodies."

Fang Zheng took out two bottles of psychiatric medicine from his arms - of course, as for the effect, no one knew.

"I want to ask you... Mr. Van Helsing, what exactly is that?"

However, Valentine did not respond to Fang Zheng's words, but continued to stare at him.

"We are all sure that we were not dreaming and we were not taking drugs. At that time, we did see a city rising from the bottom of the sea. Moreover, we heard a very scary cry, and... those monsters..."

When he said this, Valentine's face turned pale.

"What...are those? Are they the Atlanteans? A lost underwater civilization? Or aliens? What did you do? Why did those things suddenly disappear?"

"Detective Valentine, your job doesn't seem to include exploring personal privacy, and I seem to have warned you not to delve into these things."

"Even if you didn't tell me, I'd have heard it from Mr. Francis."

Hearing this, Fang Zheng rolled his eyes and looked at Francis, while Francis showed an awkward smile - how could he, a college student who had not yet graduated, be a match for a professional detective? Maybe if the two of them went out for a drink, Francis would sell everything.

"Are those monsters going to threaten humanity, or even destroy it?!"

Having said that, Valentine's expression became much more serious.

"We can report this to the government, and let them organize an army... to wipe them out completely!"

The 1930s was a very "science fiction" era, but also a very "disaster" era.

During this period, human beings had only a limited understanding of science. Because of this, all kinds of scientific fantasies emerged one after another, from expeditions to the universe to immortality. In people's eyes, there was almost nothing that science could not do - well, although it was indeed the case.

So at that time, many people believed in the mysterious underwater ruins of Atlantis and the existence of aliens, and some ridiculous things happened because of this.

The most famous one is of course the "World War" event. Fang Zheng later watched a movie adapted from this novel. To put it simply, it is a story about Martians riding on three-legged octopus-shaped robots (hmm? This design is very scary when you think about it carefully) and coming to Earth to attack humans. Humans were defeated step by step and even nearly perished. In the end, these Martians defeated humans, but were defeated by the cold virus and were completely defeated.

The World War event is a very famous event.

It was in the late 1930s that an American radio station compiled a radio drama based on the book "War of the Worlds", designing it in the form of a news report to describe how the Martians invaded, how they killed people, how they destroyed cities, how people fled, and so on.

In order to make the show complete, a live interview was also organized, including the death toll, military response, interviews with celebrity experts, etc. On this radio station, I think I just wanted to make a spoof radio program.

However, things got out of hand.

Because this radio drama is so realistic, many listeners think it is an actual event. Of course, the listeners in those cities will only find it interesting, after all, they work and live in these cities and have not seen many aliens.

However, people in other places are different.

That was the 1930s! People communicated mainly through telephones and letters. It was not like today, when you can just shoot a video or do a live broadcast and the rumor will be dispelled.

The broadcast spread from one person to ten, and from ten to a hundred, until eventually about six million people listened to it, of whom 1.7 million regarded it as a news report "happening now."

So the matter became a big deal.

Those who believed the report called to inquire and were told that "there was no Martian invasion at all" (which was understandable). As a result, those people came to believe that the government was deliberately covering up the truth. The fact must be that Martians were invading them, and the government was deliberately not saying anything in order to cover up the truth!

So people flocked to those cities, and various protests broke out. During this period, the US government also sent out police and troops to suppress them. As a result, those people once again believed that this was evidence of Martian invasion. Look, the government even sent troops and police, and they still said there were no Martians? !

The US government at that time was wrongly killed.

Eventually, the "World War" event turned into a major riot that affected the entire United States. Some people even began to rob supplies and hide in the mountains to avoid being hunted by Martians because the end of the world was approaching. Some people even felt desperate about the fact that aliens might come and chose to commit suicide.

If someone dies, the matter will naturally become serious.

Although the rumor was finally debunked, for the United States, the loss was no less than that of an alien invasion.

Of course, this kind of thing has not happened in this world yet, but the novel "World War" has been released, and it is estimated that it is only a matter of time before something happens. When the time comes, Fang Zheng can just sit back and watch the show.

And precisely because of this, the concept of alien invasion is currently very popular in the world, and it is no wonder that Detective Valentine would focus on this aspect.

What’s even more amazing is that he was right!

In a sense, this really is an alien invasion!

“The government is useless.”

Fang Zheng peeled a nut and put it in his mouth, then shrugged.

"To be honest, in front of these monsters, the current human civilization is basically going to die. No one can help."

"But, but, didn't you destroy them?"

"Yeah, I can do it, but that doesn't mean others can do it, right?"

Fang Zheng shrugged.

"Besides, since you have investigated, you should understand that these things are not good stuff. If you report it to the government, they might not destroy it completely like I did, but keep it for research. Then what?"

Fang Zheng smiled slightly and looked at Valentine. Hearing this, Valentine suddenly remembered what he had found during his investigation... This really made him feel cold inside. Indeed, if someone else didn't know the situation, they might think that Fang Zheng's statement didn't make sense, but Valentine had seen those things during his investigation... To be honest, as far as he was concerned, Valentine was also inclined to smash them and burn them.

But what if it gets reported?

What would those officials think?

Detectives have a side that disdains authority and the government. After hearing what Fang Zheng said, Valentine immediately put his original idea behind him, but he did not give up his idea.

"Mr. Van Helsing, let me be frank. I hope we can work together."

"……cooperate?"

"Yes, cooperation."

Valentine stared at Fang Zheng and nodded.

"I know you are a capable person, but you can't handle everything by yourself. Like today... I don't know if it is aliens, underwater people, or demons. They will definitely appear again, and you are fighting them, right? If possible, I also want to contribute my part!"

"You should know this is dangerous, just look at that woman named Wendy."

Fang Zheng shrugged. Although Wendy had regained consciousness after he destroyed Cthulhu, her mental state was very fragile and she even had signs of neurasthenia. She had been sent back to her hometown to recuperate. She might have to spend the rest of her life in neurasthenia.

However, it is not uncommon for a person to go crazy in the Cthulhu mythology, and it is also a common operation.

If you seek death, you will die.

"But I already have experience with this."

Valentine now looked more like someone who came for an interview than a detective. He clenched his hands and looked at Fang Zheng.

"I already know what to do, and I think Mr. Van Helsing will definitely track down other monsters. With a detective like me helping to collect information, wouldn't it be quick? I already have experience once, so I will only be more skilled next time..."

"Um……"

After hearing what Valentine said, Fang Zheng thought for a moment and nodded silently in his heart. Indeed, as Valentine said, judging from these two hidden achievements, he obviously needs to practice with the Old Ones of this world. However, in this world, because the scientific civilization is not developed enough, the little angels can't help much, so in terms of manpower...

"Me, me too!"

At this time, Francis also raised his hand.

"Although my problem has been solved, I feel that this may be my mission... I also want to assist Mr. Valentine and do this together!"

"Yes, we can set up a foundation!"

"Foundation? What?"

"Seal up those mysterious and strange things. Mr. Van Helsing, you know that the things prepared by these cultists are also extremely evil. In fact, Wendy became like this because she came into contact with those artifacts. So we plan to find those things during the investigation and seal them all up!"

Oh my god, are you trying to do the SCP Foundation's we contain, we neutralize, we run? !

Fang Zheng was also shocked when he heard Francis' suggestion.

"There's no need for that. Keeping those things will only cause trouble, um..."

Having said that, Fang Zheng looked at Francis and felt something in his heart.

"Francis, we are friends."

"Of course, Mr. Van Helsing."

"Okay then."

Hearing Francis' answer, Fang Zheng nodded with satisfaction, then he reached out from behind and took out a crowbar and handed it over.

"Take this. If you encounter any of those things, just smash them with this..."

"This is……"

Francis was stunned when he took the thing from Fang Zheng's hand.

"A crowbar?"

"That's right, and don't underestimate it, it can also protect your life."

Having said that, Fang Zheng's mouth corners slightly raised and he smiled.

"This crowbar is a priceless treasure. I am giving it to you because we are destined to have it. From now on, the task of punishing evildoers and maintaining world peace will be entrusted to you."
