Super Detective in the Fictional World

Chapter 450 Research, and Trust Science

Freddy spat out huge mouthfuls of dark red blood and asked weakly, “Cough, cough, what do you want?”

Luke said, “Don’t mind me. In any case, you’ll be dead soon, and you said you’ll be back, so I’m just making use of the waste material.”

He casually tore off the guy’s ears and tried to store them in his inventory, but there was no response.

Luke gave a surprised “oh.”

Part of the guy’s body was actually still considered to be alive, and couldn’t be stored in Luke’s inventory.

Luke simply threw the ears into the furnace and then grabbed the metal shovel on the side for collecting ash before he used it to force Freddy’s face into the furnace. “Have you thought about your lines for next time? Do you need my help?”.

Freddy: “I’ll be ba-“

Clang! “Uncreative. Thumbs down!” With one slash from the iron shovel, Luke beheaded Freddy.

Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!

After several strikes in a row, Luke frowned. “You really aren’t human anymore.”

Freddy’s ears, which Luke had torn off earlier, rotted quickly and turned into disgusting, wriggling maggots. Freddy’s head, however, gave a sinister smile. “I’ll be...”

Duang!

Luke bashed the head with the shovel and shut it up. He then grabbed an oil can and poured gasoline over Freddy’s body.

He flicked a lighter and casually tossed it into the furnace, and a fire instantly roared to life.

Freddy’s body crackled and turned into maggots in the flames, and there were faint howls and wails.

Freddy wasn’t even as big a threat to Luke as an armed shooter.

He was a super weakling when he wasn’t in a dreamscape.

And in the dreamscape, Luke could subdue all of Freddy’s abilities.

But Freddy’s ability to enter dreams and kill was too lethal for ordinary people.

Concerned for Nancy and Quentin, Luke had thus been deliberately stalling for time all this while in the dream as he looked for various weaknesses so that he could beat Freddy in one go without giving him a chance to counterattack.

Otherwise, if he used his trump cards as soon as he entered the dream but didn’t finish Freddy off for good, Nancy and Quentin might’ve died for it.

Besides, there was no better subject for studying mental powers than Freddy, this completely unthreatening weakling; how would Luke have as good an opportunity when he ran into other experts in the future?

Looking at the system notifications, Luke discovered that sure enough, Freddy didn’t die.

He shook his head. He wasn’t a professional exorcist, after all.

System: Stop Freddy Krueger from killing people. Completed. Total experience: 200. Total credit: 200. Contribution rate: 95%. EXP +190. Credit +190.

System: You have defeated Freddy Krueger and have received a list of his abilities.

Freddy Krueger’s abilities: Dream Invasion (Evil bestowment, unavailable), Dream Horror (Evil bestowment, unavailable), Resurrection (Evil bestowment, unavailable).

The system said that Freddy had been defeated and not killed.

Looking at this Resurrection skill, Luke realized what was going on.

Freddy was a monster similar to Jason Voorhees and could be resurrected. They couldn’t be considered human, so it wasn’t easy to kill them.

What was even stranger was how weird Freddy’s abilities were.

Luke was very curious about this “Evil bestowment, unavailable” caption.

On top of that, he verified some of the system’s mechanisms once again.

For example, Daddy System didn’t acknowledge things it didn’t consider human.

Luke had killed a horde of giant mutated spiders in Boom Town, for example, but the experience and credit points which he obtained were only for saving the town residents, nor did the system give him the ability to produce thread or spin webs.

He only had one question: How on earth would the system classify aliens?

As he pondered, Luke watched as Freddy turned to ash in the furnace before he scraped everything together with the shovel and poured gasoline over the pile to burn it again.

Just in case if any part of Freddy remained, he wouldn’t die.

Unfortunately, after Freddy’s body was turned into fine powder and Luke pulverized it further with the shovel before burning it again, there still wasn’t any system notification of Freddy’s death.

Luke could only shake his head. “This isn’t over yet. We’ll still need to work hard.”

He then looked at Bobby, who was trembling with his back to Luke. “Okay, let them out.”

Bobby shivered. “O- Okay. You guys can come out now.”

An already obedient Bobby became even more docile – the noise and smell behind him earlier was just too scary. Kris, Nancy and Quentin crawled out of the small opening They had still been a little curious in the beginning and wanted to take a look.

But the shadows on the wall and the vague sounds of clanging, like pork being chopped up, prompted them to stay quiet.

SO

Now that they were out, they all looked at Luke.

But the moment Luke turned to look at them, they averted their gazes.

Luke didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. “What are you thinking? That guy wasn’t human. If you don’t believe me, see for yourself.”

Kris was the first to decisively shake her head. “No, thank you.”

Nancy paused for a moment before she shook her head as well. “Me neither.”

Luke looked at Quentin.

Quentin said, “Me nei-“

Luke interrupted him. “You’re a man, how can you not take a look? Come here.”

Quentin could only go over with an aggrieved face.

He couldn’t afford to offend the person who had chopped Freddy into pieces.

Luke said, “Do you have any common sense? Human bones can’t be completely burned to ash, not even in professional cremations. I only used a little gasoline just now.”

Quentin stared blankly. “Is that right?”

Kris chimed in, “I watched a law drama before which did mention it.”

Luke nodded and said, “Then take a look at the furnace. Do you see any bones?”

Quentin was conflicted and slanted a quick glance at the furnace before looking away, for fear of seeing something out of a horror film.

But what he saw made him turn his head back. After carefully examining the scene for a moment, he asked Luke, “Did you... really burn him up in there?”.

Luke nodded, then shook his head. “I can’t tell you the details, but he wasn’t human, so what he left behind wasn’t a human body. So, don’t look at me like I’m a murderer. I’m a police detective, not a criminal.”Everybody smiled awkwardly, including Bobby.

From the sounds of what Luke had been doing just now, it was pretty much the same as a classic movie psycho killer. Who wouldn’t be terrified?

In the end, Bobby was an adult and had a lot more guts. Seeing that Quentin wasn’t frightened, he looked at the furnace as well, and his face was full of doubt. “That’s it? Why does it just look like a small pile of ash?”

Luke nodded. “That’s it.”

Kris and Nancy also couldn’t help taking a look before saying the same thing. “That’s it?” Luke just nodded, then said to Bobby, “Take them outside; I’m going to pack this up.”

Everybody gave him strange looks.

Luke shrugged. “I trust science more than I trust my eyes. I like studying weird stuff like this.”

Everybody: “...”
