The Death Knight of the Secret World

Chapter 51 0051. A Cloud Piercing Arrow
Seeing the dead bodies lying on the ground at the scene, the face of Hopkins, a veteran transcendent, turned black. This is obviously a large-scale bloody sacrifice ceremony.

However, it seems that there should be no danger for the time being.

Because the corpse was not freshly dead, but one that had been dead for a while, the blood that flowed on the ground began to dry up and turn black.

Jurgen looked around with a shotgun, but found no danger, but his heart was still in his throat.

This abandoned wood furniture factory was some distance away from Backlund's urban area, and even reached the outermost area of ​​the slums. Moreover, it was surrounded by wasteland, and there were no houses nearby.

This secret base was actually taken over by the Squirrel Gang from another small gang. Before Beomi joined the Squirrel Gang, it had already existed as a lair for the Squirrel Gang to hide members who committed crimes.

Because it was located in a remote area and there were no houses around, it was a bit difficult to find. If Beomi hadn't been with the Squirrel Gang before, she might not have been able to find it here.

Beomi took a look at the scene with a double-barreled shotgun. Thanks to the high-level spiritual vision inspired by the witch Vivienne, he can actually see in the dark.

Therefore, he almost looked at the corpses one by one.

"Except for the absence of the old Squirrel, the rest of the Squirrel Gang's little mice are basically here!"

Beomi told the others about the situation.

As the overlord of the slums, the Squirrel Gang has quite a few pickpockets, around 60 to [-] people.Except for Old Squirrel, who is an old guy, the rest are basically vagrants from the slums, all of whom are in their teens.

Although the old pickpocket old squirrel was a cancer, he did support dozens of street children in his own way.

But now, these little mice are lying in the yard of this abandoned furniture factory.And they all had their necks cut open, and blood flowed all over their bodies, showing horrible death.

"Watch out for that altar over there!" Sam reminded him loudly when he saw Beomi wandering around among the corpses.

This kind of place, which looks like a cult group's sacrifice ceremony, often hides various unknown dangers, and it is easy to rush to the street if you wander around casually.

Hearing the reminder from Sam, a gentle, high-sequence transcendent, Beomi also felt that she was taking some risks out of desperation.

This bloody case, which looked like a massacre, resulted in as many as 50 corpses at one time. In addition to bringing huge public opinion pressure to the Nancheng Branch, it would also increase the workload of the sweepers.

But don't think this is the end, this is the beginning.

This was a case in which more than 50 people died at one time, and it also happened in the suburbs of Backlund, the capital of Loen.Moreover, there is an extremely vile case of an obvious cult sacrifice, which is definitely a standard big news.

"Sam, send the signal! This is no longer a situation that the few of us can handle!" Hopkins took out a white handkerchief, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and then looked at the gold-rimmed glasses after a long breath. said male Sam.

"Leave it to me!" Sam was also quite frightened by the scene, and his calf was still trembling.

However, the high-level sequencer's self-esteem prevented him from backing up or turning around and running away. He tremblingly took out a cylindrical object from his black windbreaker.

After working for a long time, he lifted the thing with his left hand, and grabbed a small ring-shaped opening device with his right hand, and pulled it violently.

There was a soft "chi" sound, and a small black ball flew into the sky with a stream of sparks.

With a sound of "collapse", the small black ball exploded at a height of more than ten meters, and exploded a huge group of fireworks with various fluorescent colors.

It was a badge-shaped firework, with stars as the base, guarding a blood-red half-moon in the center.

This is the holy radiance of the goddess of the night, and it is also the emblem on the equipment of the night watchman.

The light from the huge fireworks illuminated a large part of the night sky, and then the fireworks flickered in mid-air for a while, like a three-dimensional painting, suspended in mid-air.

Then, a lot of fireworks appeared in Beomi's field of vision, and the closest one was about three to five kilometers away.And the ones farther away even appeared near Backlund's core Wangcheng District.

Dozens of huge fireworks embellished the night sky of Backlund like a dream, but the members of the Church of Evernight who saw this scene did not feel romantic or dreamy at all, but like frightened rabbits, they quickly went to the first place. A place where fireworks exploded rushed over.

"What is this?" Beomi murmured to herself, "A cloud-piercing arrow, thousands of troops come to meet you?"

Walking around the periphery of the open space full of corpses, the cautious old corpse collector Jurgen did not approach the core area where the corpses are densest in the middle, but slowly rushed over to join Beomi.

The fur on the back of the big black dog Tindalos stood up, grinning at the middle area where the heads of the corpses pointed, and purring, as if facing an enemy.

In its field of vision, there was a vortex emitting brilliant light in the small open space in the middle of these corpses.That is the passage from the kingdom of the living to the world of the dead, but it has not yet been opened.

If there are Transcendents above the demigod level present, they may find this [door]-like vortex.But among the few people present, the strongest is Hopkins who has been working in the Church of Evernight. He is a [psychic] of Sequence Seven. He can only vaguely feel that there is a problem in the middle area, but he cannot confirm it. what is it.

The night guards in the Church of Evernight are basically night shifters, so they came very quickly.The first wave of people who were closest arrived at the scene about 2 minutes later, and were stunned by the dead bodies all over the ground.

The vicious case of killing five or sixty people at one time has not happened in Loen Kingdom for many years.

After the first wave of three night guards arrived at the scene, they quickly dispersed. Except for the leader who went to check the situation with Hopkins, the remaining two consciously began to guard the gate of the waste furniture factory.

After a while, another night watchman rushed over in twos and threes, and then ran to Hopkins to report.

Hopkins, a Sequence Seven psychic, seemed to have a fairly low status within the Church of Evernight, and all the transcendent members of the Church of Evernight went over to say hello.

About half an hour later, the abandoned wood furniture factory was surrounded by fast nightmen.Although it is not three floors inside and three floors outside, there are night guards on several commanding heights on the fence.

It was the first time Beomi saw so many extraordinary people, and he was a little nervous. He roughly counted, and now there are at least forty extraordinary people present.

However, he wasn't too surprised. After all, Backlund is the capital of the Loen Kingdom. Isn't it normal that there are more Transcendents?

You must know that when he read the book before time travel, he felt that the number of Transcendents in Backlund City was a bit saturated. Although he would not meet two of them when he went out to buy a pack of cigarettes, it was obviously more than the Transcendents in Tingen City. The density is much higher.

After a large number of night watchmen gathered, Beomi and the scar-faced old man Jurgen withdrew from the core area of ​​the scene, and the two of them and a dog found an inconspicuous place nearby and began to rest.

Over there, a dozen extraordinary people surrounded Hopkins. After a little discussion, these bold fellows with high skills began to inspect the scene. Yeren touched in to check.

After a while, two nightmen reported something to Hopkins, and then the chubby old guy actually waved in Beomy's direction, beckoning him to go over.

Jurgen still remembered Ms. Su La's instructions in his heart, and wanted to stop him, but there were too many night guards present, and he was afraid of causing trouble if he did it too obviously, so he gritted his teeth and followed Bei Omi walked over together.

"What does the old squirrel you mentioned look like? It seems that no older corpses were found at the scene!" Hopkins frowned and looked at the corpses all over the floor, and sighed: "They are all teenagers, What a crime!"

"A skinny old man, whose age is unknown, and who speaks with an accent from Intis." Beomi described the appearance of the old squirrel in his memory.

"By the way, his right hand only has three fingers!"

"It looks like he escaped!" said a tall and thin night guard.

"Do you think..." Hopkins frowned and asked Beomi: "Is it possible that this old guy..."

"Improbable!" Beomi shook her head.

"Although Old Squirrel often beats and scolds these little mice, he attaches great importance to their safety. A year ago, there was a conflict between the Squirrel Gang and the gang on Oak Avenue. The other party threatened to kill several little mice. Old Squirrel In his eyes, the little mice are just like his children." Beomy pointed to the corpses on the scene: "Although it's a bit embarrassing for them to follow the old squirrel to steal chickens and dogs, at least, I I never heard that the Squirrel Gang ever starved to death."

Hopkins looked at Beomy with something unclear in his eyes.

"Someone who can divination!" Hopkins shouted.

Immediately, a nightman came out more and more and walked up to Hopkins.

"Come and divine the whereabouts of that old squirrel!" Hopkin ordered.

"Is there only a name?" The night watchman took out a coin from his clothes.

"What else do you need, you ask this little guy yourself!" Hopkins pointed to Beomi.

Beomy recounted the general image of the old squirrel again, and the somewhat emaciated night warden nodded, indicating that it was time to start.

"Ding" He flicked the penny up with his right thumb and caught it in the palm of his hand—it showed heads.

"He's still alive!"

Then the fortune teller repeated the divination method of tossing the coin three times in a row, and concluded that the old squirrel was still in Backlund, and was still in a state of captivity, probably in the dock area.

"Foretell again if that old squirrel has anything to do with this sacrifice!" Hopkins said.

With a "ding", the coin was tossed up again, and the fortune-teller reached out to take it, but the coin stuck vertically between his fingers.

"The divination has been disturbed!" The night bearer on the way of the fortune teller turned pale.

"Either the result of the divination involves a Transcendent of Sequence Five or higher, or there is a sealed item at least beginning with 1 that is interfering with the result of the divination."

"You go down first!" Hopkins waved his hand to let the other party go down, and then turned his attention to the night guards who were in the middle of the corpse circle.
