Chapter 442: 447 Altar in the basement
Chapter 442 447 Altar in the basement
Half an hour later, the town hall of the town became a temporary police station.
The patrols that had just been disbanded gathered again and went to the town hall to stand by.
Jessica and others who had planned to enter the mountain and Green all came here, along with two other parties, the businessman and the screaming aunt.
"Police... Officer, I... Really, I really don't know what's going on!" The fat lady was a little sloppy in her words, and before she had fully recovered from the shock and fear she had just experienced, she stuttered: "I just I live next door to the warehouse, and I usually cook two meals here, but yesterday it was fine, I don't know why... how is it..." Then he started crying again, as if recalling before, showing a panicked expression.
In another room, the businessman was also questioned in the same way. Compared with the fat old lady who had never seen the world, this businessman who had traveled all over the world was obviously more psychologically resistant. After coming here to drink a glass of water, he basically He regained his composure and recounted the situation just now: "Lord Jessica, you know the situation of our caravan, and this time we came here as usual, but after entering the warehouse, I felt that something was wrong, and no one came to pick up the carriage. The door of the office was locked from the inside. I was very strange at the time! I went to find Ms. Chelsea, er is the lady next door. Ms. Chelsea is a cook who is in charge of the food in the warehouse. They have a small door leading to the warehouse's office."
The businessman described in an orderly manner: "Because I often bring caravans here and I am familiar with Ms. Chelsea, I went to her and asked her what was going on and why the warehouse was not taken care of during the day. But I didn't expect... The businessman swallowed a mouthful of saliva unconsciously: "Ms. Chelsea is quite strange when she hears it, saying that it is impossible! The people from the warehouse have come to eat in the morning, and it is logically impossible that there will be no one! Then take me through the small door."
Speaking of this, a trace of fear flashed in the businessman's eyes: "At that time, we entered the office and searched up and down, but couldn't find anyone, including...including that room, I mean...that is the room, we all It was confirmed that there was no one there! There was no sign of decay! At that time, I didn't think much about it, so I thought about driving the caravan's carriage into the courtyard first and set it up first, and then went to open the locked door of the office. As soon as I opened the door, I didn't know why, I was just dizzy, and then I heard Ms. Chelsea's cry, I was startled, but for some reason, ghosts and gods also ran over."
About half an hour later, Officer Jessica listened to the two people's narration.
As an observer, Greene also understood the situation almost, and as a necromancer, he almost knew what was going on. But what he couldn't figure out was that to be able to achieve this level, at least it was a legendary first-level, or even a middle-level necromancer. But what is the reason for such a powerful extraordinary person to start with an ordinary warehouse?
And after the survey by Jessica and her subordinates, the office of that warehouse was corroded by necromancy, there were still some traces of illusion, and there was no other abnormality.
According to the fat aunt, he went to the warehouse in the morning, and the situation there was normal. And the spectacled girl detected signs of being affected by illusions from her body, indicating that those she saw in the morning should be illusions.
At this moment, a tall policeman ran over quickly and saluted Officer Jessica: "A basement was found under the warehouse office, there should be several corpses in it, and they were all slightly affected by necromancy. erosion."
With a new discovery, Jessica took everyone back to the warehouse scene immediately.
This place has been blocked. Some people in the small town are standing outside the gate and pointing, seeing several uniformed police officers coming over and immediately dispersed to both sides.
The caravan that had just arrived, because the carriage did not have time to reach the warehouse, was not stopped by the cordon, which made the fat businessman relieved. This was probably the best news for him so far. Otherwise, once his caravan was involved in the case, if the dozen or so carriages were impounded, it would not be known how long it would take for them to be released, then the loss would be too great.
Green also followed in a grand manner. Because of the silver mercenary badge, Jessica acquiesced to his existence. After all, he is a powerful mercenary. What if he can help!
Came to the entrance of the basement, which is located in a storage room at the end of the office corridor. The entrance is very obvious and not covered. There was a wooden ladder under the entrance, and dim candles below, illuminating the dark basement a little.
I just found the entrance, and no one went down rashly.
After everyone came, the glasses lady first checked whether there was a dangerous magic device, and then Jessica took the lead.
Because the following situation cannot be determined, everyone else is preparing to respond.
After waiting for a while, Jessica's voice came from below: "Little Shura, come down, activate the psionic guardian, there is death psychic left below."
"Yes!" The spectacled lady responded, and quickly activated a device hanging around her waist, immediately a faint halo appeared on her body.
Green can feel that the halo has a certain defensive effect, but the defensive effect is very limited, and it is more similar to protective clothing to ensure that it is not eroded.
Looking at the glasses girl named Shula, Green couldn't help but secretly sighed that the Loen Federation was developing faster than the Kingdom of Lorenzo, but some clues could be seen from the equipment used by the police. In the Kingdom of Lorenzo Not to mention ordinary police, even the action team of the special bureau, do not have such professional equipment.
A few minutes later, the glasses girl and Jessica who were in charge of the inspection site climbed up from below.
Jessica looked at Green and thought for a while: "Mr. Amberland, the following has been surveyed, do you still want to go down?"
Green nodded, looking very curious. He went down the ladder and immediately took a look at the basement, which was only over ten square meters.
In the corner of the basement there is a strange, altar-like thing, with two candles on either side, and the light in the basement comes from this
On the ground opposite the altar, five corpses were stacked one by one, the top two corpses had become mummified, with black skin and dehydrated muscles, but there was no sign of decay. The three corpses below are still in the state of fresh death. The wounds are all in the heart. They should have been stabbed to death by sharp knives.
Moreover, as a legendary necromancer, Green could clearly sense that at this moment, the five corpses were providing some kind of psychic energy to the altar.
That kind of psionic energy is somewhat close to death psionic energy, but it contains an unknown aura, which reminds Green suddenly of the final psychic energy that was generated when the Twelfth Void World entered the final stage.
At this moment, the five corpses provided the strange altar with some similar characteristics. However, compared with the final psychic, the special psychic collected by the altar, in terms of characteristics and quality, cannot be compared with the final psychic. .
And, with the extraction of this special psychic energy from the altar, the corpses are slowly transformed into a mummified state, just like coal burnt, exhausting its own energy, leaving only coal ash.
Then Green opened his eyes of spiritual vision and looked around again, but found no more clues, climbed up to face Jessica and asked, and had to shake his head.
Green found that Jessica's expression was a little unusual, and immediately asked: "Have you seen a similar situation in the past?"
Jessica was stunned for a while, then immediately disappeared the abnormal color, shook her head and denied: "How is it possible, I'm just a policeman, not a special bureau, generally such cases involving strange and extraordinary will be handled by the special bureau. I just It's very strange, I don't know if it has anything to do with Officer Neant and the disappearance of your mission target."
Having said that, Jessica looked at the spectacled girl who was still immersed in operating the holographic map device before, and asked, "How is it? Did you find anything?"
Green looked at the past unexpectedly, and was once again surprised that the alchemy technology of the Loen Federation was developed, and it actually developed an alchemy network similar to the Internet, connecting the databases of various government departments in the federation. At this moment, Shula, the spectacled mother, is in the nationwide database, searching for similar cases on a large scale to see if it can be used for reference.
This time, when I came to the Loen Federation in person, Green finally understood why the Kingdom of Lorenzo was almost suppressed by the Loen Federation in these years. Except for the fact that the founding time of the country was relatively short, the top combat power of the Loen Federation was slightly inferior, and other aspects This emerging country can completely shake off the decaying and aging Kingdom of Lorenzo by a few streets. The gap in the development of alchemy technology alone is equivalent to that of the previous Celestial Dynasty and an African tribe.
It is conceivable that if there was no suppression by Grand Duke Mora, Princess Mulesina, Marshal Santos, and Prady XIV, who had just been promoted to natural disasters, I am afraid that the Kingdom of Lorenzo should have been thrown into the country more than ten years ago. The **** heap of history.
And in the Loen Federation, although the people at the bottom are also under the oppression of capitalists and big families, but overall life is quite good. In order to compete for votes, even if they are deceived and fooled, those bigwigs who control the federal parliament have to pretend. Pay attention to people's livelihood.
But even so, after completing the information retrieval a few minutes later, Shula, the spectacled woman, just shook her head helplessly, saying that she had not found any further.
Jessica was a little disappointed: "Well, it seems that we are in trouble this time, let the Special Bureau come over, this kind of case does not belong to us."
Although she looks like a strong woman, Jessica did not try to be brave. On the contrary, in order to ensure the safety of her and her subordinates, her decision was quite rational and cautious.
