A Core Ship From The Start Chapter 751

Chapter 751: Chapter 543 Foggy Shadow_3 Chapter 751: Chapter 543 Foggy Shadow_3 “It's indeed a serious consideration, after all, the level of danger if you truly work at the Tribunal is much higher than in a movie.”

“Eh? Is it really that exaggerated?”

“Of course.”

After all, in a movie, the worst case is a building exploding, but the Tribunal can issue an extinction order that wipes out entire planets.

“Ah………”
Mary sighed again, she was indeed indecisive. Though the work at the Tribunal seemed dangerous, she felt she should repay Duanmu Huai. After all, Duanmu Huai had done her many favors. But if the job was too dangerous, would it backfire? Moreover, what could she possibly do at the Tribunal?

Thinking about it, Mary looked at Duanmu Huai and voiced her inner doubts.

“Of course, it's the Golden Pupil. Your eye is of great importance to the Tribunal, but you haven't realized it yet.”

“To be frank, I don't really feel that there's anything special about this eye.”

Upon hearing Duanmu Huai's answer, Mary reached out to touch her right eye with a complex expression. Although Duanmu Huai had said many times, and the monsters seemed to be targeting her right eye, Mary really didn't perceive what was so special about it. If anything, it was just a bit clearer in certain situations…
“Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication… this is what is most powerful.”

Seeing Mary's reaction, Duanmu Huai sighed silently. A person might not recognize how powerful a true bug equipment like the Golden Pupil is, but to others, being able to see through illusions effortlessly is an incredible ability alone. Especially for the Pink Fear Monster, who is adept at transformation and illusion techniques. Even Duanmu Huai could only rely on his Fearful Aura or the Judge's experience to differentiate, but Mary could see through the essence of the other party at one glance —- the gap between the two was like the difference between weapons used in World War I and modern warfare.

Like in the past, soldiers hiding in bushes were hard to spot and could only be identified by experienced leaders. But in modern warfare, an infrared drone can lock onto them without any skill required. This is a matter of technological gap.

Mary's Golden Pupil is like the latter, and when used well, it's a complete steamroll.

What's even better is that it hardly consumes any energy.

“If you're willing, you can try it first. Besides, you'd make decent bait.”

“… Huh? Bait?”

“Exactly, like right now.”

While speaking, Duanmu Huai stopped in his tracks. Mary, who was next to him, also came to a halt and looked around. To her surprise, they had somehow ended up near the town square. The place was brightly lit, but for some reason, a dense fog had started to gather around them, distorting the nearby houses under the lights.

Moreover…

“Arrrgggg…”
“What's that noise? Mr. Duanmu, is it a wild dog?”

“Who knows? At least it seems that the Monk Tang meat is quite tempting.”

Although he didn't have the Golden Pupil, Duanmu Huai had long detected something stalking them. Clearly, it wasn't after him, since every time they'd encountered each other in the woods it had run away. The only explanation was that the Golden Pupil was too tempting. It seemed that the monster couldn't resist the temptation of Monk Tang's flesh and was planning on risking it.

Is this thing really that tempting?

In Journey to the West, demons wanted to eat Monk Tang's flesh because it could make them immortal. So, what could one gain by having the Golden Pupil?

Nevermind, we'll find out later.

“Be careful, get behind me.”

Duanmu Huai tightened his fists, speaking to Mary—- his previous staff had been used up in the Antarctic and he hadn't replaced it yet. But for Duanmu Huai, dealing with mere wild dogs with bare fists wasn't much of an issue.

“Roar—-!”

Finally, the lurking figure seemed unable to contain itself any longer. With a low roar, a shadow suddenly pounced from the mist towards Mary.

“Ahh!”

Faced with the sudden assault, Mary appeared shocked. Nevertheless, her body instinctively spun backward, avoiding the shadow's attack.

Tsk tsk, the Golden Pupil really was amazing.

“Roar—-!”

The shadow that missed its target once again reached out its claws towards Mary. Meanwhile, Duanmu Huai quickly spun around, clenched his fist, and struck directly at the shadow!

“Bang!”

Duanmu Huai's Iron Fist hit the shadow squarely. The vague shadow instantly exploded under Duanmu Huai's punch, shattering completely like a burst balloon. Yet, it was obviously not the end. Soon, successive barks rang out, turning to see hundreds of shadows appearing like hunting dogs in the fog surrounding them. Even Mary turned pale at this sight.

“Mr… Mr. Duanmu!”

“No need to worry, this is nothing much. Have you seen anything strange?”

“Well…”

Upon hearing Duanmu Huai's question, Mary looked around and then pointed at a small alley not far away.

“There seems to be a strange shadow over there…”

“Let's go!”
