Vol 6 Chapter 83: call
"Egret" area.
After walking through a low, dilapidated house, Buck led Heidi to a secluded and dilapidated place, covered with weeds everywhere, even in the daytime.
"This place is occupied by a small number of homeless people, but they have to run for life during the day, so they can't see people." Buck pointed to the crumbling wall.
Having limped across several mud houses that would collapse at any time, Heidi saw the place where the photos were taken, sewage was flowing, flies were flying around, and the stench was blowing on his face.
"Those tramps have no idea of maintaining their own environment. They know that the sewer entrance is nearby, and they are still littering everywhere." Buck scolded, even the police detectives like him running around couldn't help it. Frown, not to mention the Arcanist of the Atomic Institute like Ms. Heidi!
Although Heidi's area of expertise is not in this area, the arrangement of the mandatory tasks of the Magic Council has made her lack of risk-taking exercises. Compared with the nests of monsters such as ogres and trolls, this place is like a noble lady. The garden, so I walked to the corner without frowning, performing one by one the prophetic and necromancy magic to detect clues.
"There were heavy rains yesterday and many traces were destroyed ..." Heidi confirmed her conjecture from the magic feedback.
Uncle Buck looked at her expectantly: "Yes, we are also facing this kind of distress, so we asked the parliament for help. Is there anything you can do?"
He did not use the full name of "Magic Council" to show that he is a standard pro-magic.
At the scene of the serious murder, Heidi did not carelessly play or joke, but took out the victim's flesh and blood corpse very solemnly, and performed the astral five-ring magic "similar positioning technique".
The flesh fluttering in her hands suddenly melted, dropping to the ground, being dragged by mysterious forces, pointing away.
"Originally this can only locate living creatures. After improvement, as long as it does not exceed a certain time range, it can also be used to track the 'trace' of the deceased. As long as the killer still has the internal organs, it will lead us to find it. "Heidi's left hand seemed to squirm.
Buck looked at this magical magic in astonishment, and once again strengthened his faith in sending his son to general school for basic magic education.
This time, instead of Heidi leading Buck, the two shuttled through the "Egret District", following the murderer's movements.
After a short while, after a fork in the road, Heidi's blood suddenly stopped boiling and twisting, as if losing the last vitality, faded the dark red, and ran out of rancidity.
"Ma'am, what's wrong?" Buck asked worriedly.
Heidi looked around, with a very serious expression on the doll's face: "The connection between 'kinds' was deliberately cut off. This must have enough magic, divine skill, or knight power to do it."
"What?" Buck was quite surprised that this serial murder of civilians would involve formal magicians and noble knights? What are they trying to figure out?
Heidi wrinkled his nose: "I asked before why the killers didn't destroy the body. Now it doesn't look like they are incapable but they have other purposes."
"Other purpose?" Although Buck knew a lot of secret files, he still lacked "common sense" compared to a senior magician like Heidi.
Heidi looked around and said casually: "Generally, this weird situation is related to the evil rituals or cults. When they use the viscera, they pay attention to the original body still ..."
"Then I will submit your conclusion to Madam." Buck wanted to flinch a bit, and the spread involved this kind of thing, which he could not bear, a high-level knight's servant detective, or let the high-level knight of the police inspection office Let's deal with it, or go to a higher wizard.
He looked at the fork road, one leading to the outside of the city and one leading to the other side of the "Egret District", so he judged: "The murderers should have escaped from the city, and it is difficult to determine the trail.
But Heidi was quite excited, and had the rare opportunity to meet evil magic rituals or cultists, and eagerly took out a magic crystal ball, which looked solemnly and authentically: "I'm not sure, just confirm it again."
In Lentart, she is not too worried about encountering enemies she can't deal with, but battles of a certain intensity will be discovered by the Lord who guards the Nexar Palace and the headquarters of Elemental Will.
The transparent crystal ball became dark under the power of magic, and then a little bit of bright star light lit up, forming a pointed light band.
"Goed to the other side of the egret area, ..." Heidi got feedback from astrology, but the details were gone, "Let's go and see."
Buck was slightly distressed, but did not dare to refute, and could only follow Heidi behind.
"Ms. Heidi is a near-advanced magician and a legendary student. There must be no shortage of powerful items. Even when she encounters evil magicians or cultists ..." Thinking of this, his heart gradually calmed down.
At this time, he saw that Heidi had been holding a silver badge with the symbol of the element engraved on it, which seemed to be a miniature of the periodic table of elements—as the basic thing in the field of elements, even civilians knew it. Many people even engraved it on their door, thinking that it has magical magic power to prevent evil.
Heidi laughed aloud: "A medium for magic rituals."
"Magic Ritual ..." According to Buck's shallow magic common sense, isn't this something that should be prepared a long time in advance?
During the conversation, along the path, the two came to the corner of the slum, where people came and went and seemed quite lively.
"If it is a cult, there must be a lot of people, which is consistent with more than one murderer, so we ask who has a lot of strangers coming in or going out at night, and we should be able to find some clues." According to Buck, Advice to Heidi.
Heidi smiled, "Thank you, Buck."
Standing in front of a low house, there was an old woman with a wrinkled face, and she was drying the washed clothes.
"Hello, Madam, this is Buck, a senior police detective in the Kingdom Police Observatory. I would like to ask you a few questions." Buck lightly lit up his credentials politely.
老 The old woman was slightly sluggish and flustered, "Mr. Detective, you can ask whatever you want."
This kind of poor people who have never seen the world generally behave like this when they meet police detectives, so Buck nodded secretly: "You should be familiar with this street? Are there any people who often appear a lot of strangers, or intermittent at night? Sexually noisy so that everyone can't sleep? "
The old lady said, "No, I didn't notice. I rarely go to other places in the street."
Buck 揣 Good documents: "Do you know who knows this street well?"
恩 "Well, Mr. Moro of the Black Brotherhood," the old woman whispered, as if she was equally scared of that Moro.
Uncle Buck nodded: "Then take us to him."
"No, no, Mr. Detective, look for someone else.
"Well," the old woman waved her hands in a panic.
How could Buck be compromised? With his stern expression, the old woman closed the door of her house and led him and Heidi to the deep part of the street.
Under the low houses on both sides of the street, there were women washing clothes, men chopping wood, and children looking curiously at strangers.
"It's lively enough." Buck sighed.
Heidi frowned slightly and looked around without speaking.
At this moment, the old lady stopped in front of the most elegant two-story building in this slum area: "Mr. Detective, madam, Mr. Moro is inside."
She said as she knocked on the door.
Heidi suddenly said: "We will not visit Mr. Moro for the time being. We have urgent matters."
"What?" Buck was puzzled, and Heidi's voice suddenly sounded in his heart, "Exit first, I will come by myself, otherwise I may not be able to take care of you."
"Why?" Buck became nervous for a moment, this is the legendary spiritual connection?
Heidi sneered without smile: "The poor in the slums need to work hard for more than ten hours a day in order to survive, so during the day, there will only be children and a small number of women. Now, let's see how many men stay at home What do they rely on to support themselves and their families? "
Buck was sweating suddenly, and he was transferred to be a senior police detective. He had never had grass-roots experience in the past. He changed the ordinary police detectives under his command and may have discovered the problem long ago, so he cooperated with Heidi and said: "Yes Suddenly, I remembered that we had to return to the Police Observation Office urgently and come to visit Mr. Moro tomorrow. "
"Hmm, you have already discovered the problem, do you want to leave?" A cold, hoarse voice came from the two-story building, and the door was blown open by the wind, and the thick **** smell overflowed.
In the spacious hall, the organs such as the heart, intestines, and spleen are disorderly and strangely arranged. Not only is the blood red, but it is still inflated rhythmically.
The men, women, and children around him all stood up, their mouths were completely split, their teeth were exposed, their tongues were full of barbs, and their eyes became scarlet and cold, exuding the smell of evil paralysis.
The old woman standing next to her suddenly became dry, as if the balloon had been pierced, and then swelled quickly, her eyes flushed, and a dull male voice: "Do you still want to go?"
抬 He raised a finger, and Buck felt suddenly a solid black gas condensing at his fingertips, and the horrible death meant that he was paralyzed and unable to move.
"One finger of death?" In his spiritual connection, Buck heard Heidi's voice.
Black gas condensed, death came like a needle, Buck thought numbly, "Are you going to die?"
At this moment, he felt unreal, then became firm, and appeared on the other side of the street.
"This?" He turned back in surprise, and found that Heidi flashed and escaped with a magic attack.
At the same time, the "Douglas Spell Absorption Wall" stands out, blocking the red rays of those "split-mouth monsters".
"You are not advanced, how can you trigger it by spell?" The husky male voice blurted out in surprise, his old woman's body collapsed as if unable to withstand this force, and the meat pieces and bones fell to the ground.
At this time, many organs in the hall began to gather and wriggle together to form a weird human figure.
Heidi hesitated: "Although I'm not a high-level order, whoever said that the artefact trigger can only be used at a high level. This pre-stored spell, the magic triggered according to a specific situation, belongs to the storage part, the control part, The comprehensive application of the computing part, the information collection input part, and the magic output part, I can't simplify them all, but I can simplify a few of them with the help of the item ... Maybe in the future, the fifth ring will be a high-level magician! "
She doesn't seem to be in a hurry, but her left hand is constantly pressed on the silver badge, which seems to be a complicated cast gesture.
The monster who mashed up the organ said angrily, "I don't understand, but you don't want to live! Can you still use other advanced magic?"
He is about to finish his body, and those "split-mouth monsters" densely block the streets, and the magical power rising in the dark interferes with the flight.
Feeling the attention of the pair of red eyes, Buck was frightened, his legs were slightly trembling, and he could only pin his hope on Heidi Heidi pressed the left hand and suddenly threw out the silver badge, Mysterious and weird voice came out of the mouth: "The cry from the sky calls for the advent of the atomic universe ..."
As soon as the monster heard the sound of the curse, it immediately rushed out, pulling its body into a long blood curtain, corroding everything around it.
He knows very well that the power of legend is close to the gods, so many magic rituals need to summon and communicate different legendary planes in order to perform. For example, many rituals of "Pale Hand" require "silent hell", "skeletal wasteland" and the soul of the dead. In general, as long as the legendary rules are met and the price is paid, they can be used unless the legendary strongman deliberately blocks and conceals the half plane.
And what he couldn't believe was, whose magic ritual can be used in such a short time?
Is it pre-stored again?
The chanting mantra stopped, the surroundings became extremely quiet, the darkness dipped, the vastness descended, and the elementary planets appeared unreally.
The light of mystery lit up in Heidi's hand, and the projection in the "Atomic Universe" zoomed in, and a constantly converging planet appeared like the sun.
它 With its help, a scorching glow swept the entire slum area, and those red-eyed "crack-mouthed monsters" merged silently.
"No!" The monster screamed sternly. (To be continued [this text is provided by the breaking dawn update group @ 为 嗨 而 生]. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to (m) to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation.
