Mystery: Undead don't die from passing fire

Chapter 43 Demon Ritual
No. 243, New Year Road, Hillston District.

At the gate, stood a young man with messy brown hair, his face was obviously full of gloom.

"team leader."

The moment he saw Simon, Ash and others, a look of hope appeared on his originally gloomy face.

"Rayleigh."

Simon's voice was still hoarse, "Open the door."

Lei Li silently agreed, grabbed the door handle and opened the door for several people.

But before entering the house, Ember and the others smelled a strong smell of blood.

Through the open door, they saw the scene inside the house.

On the floor of the living room, lay a lady in a gorgeous long dress.

Blood smeared from her abdomen to the surroundings, staining her long skirt and the ground red, outlining a terrifying scene like hell.

That was Eve, the Extraordinary Eve Fisher of Simon's team.

Ember remembered her.

He had only met the other party at the detective agency not long ago, and he remembered that it was a girl with a delicate face and a slight smile on her mouth.

But now, the girl named Eve has turned into a stiff corpse.

Her delicate face was distorted with pain, and it was obvious that she had suffered a lot before she died.

There was a huge bloody wound on her abdomen, but the abdominal cavity inside the wound was empty.

The blood had already flowed all over the ground, solidified and stuck to the ground, but the internal organs were missing.

"Lolotta."

Simon's voice was still hoarse, but with a trace of hatred in his eyes, he gritted his teeth and said, "I hope you can communicate with Eve and find the murderer who killed her!"

In order to protect the scene, when the real psychic Lolotta arrived, they tried their best not to touch anything or even collect Eve's body, hoping to use the psychic to find the murderer who killed Eve!

"It can't be done."

Luo Luota stood beside Eve's body in silence for a long while, her face turned bitter, "Her spirit has disappeared. It should be said that all the spirits that were here have disappeared, and the new spirits don't know anything."

After receiving the acting method given by Ember, she has been actively acting these days when she returned to Backlund.

Working during the day and acting at night, without even having time to rest, was successfully promoted to a Sequence 7 psychic.

At this stage the 'Corpse Collector' approach will undergo a qualitative change.

The psychic can master various mystical rituals related to the spirit, and can directly communicate with the natural spirits and wandering souls in the real world.

And that's why Simon asked her for help.

However, it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice.

Even psychics.

In the absence of a spirit, she is also powerless.

"The spirit disappeared?"

Simon and Al's expressions sank at the same time.

Although one night passed, most of the spirit would definitely dissipate.

But the remaining part can also allow them to obtain some superficial information.

But now Luo Luota said that the spirit had completely disappeared, which meant that someone had interfered in advance!

The murderer knew that someone would come to investigate, so he cleaned up the scene in advance.

"Then you can only use the most traditional method."

Borgia spoke up.

Simon closed his eyes in pain, but his rich experience still made him start to analyze the case.

"Although fortune tellers are not good at fighting, Eve is already a clown in Sequence 8. Even if she has only been promoted for a short time, she will not be helpless. But there are almost no traces of fighting at the scene, which means that the person who killed her was at least It is also a Extraordinary of Sequence 7 or even Sequence 6!"

"The reason?"

Another Extraordinary from Simon's team, Rayleigh, clenched his fists, "Why did the murderer kill Eve?"

"The most common reasons for killing are nothing more than vendetta and love."

Al frowned tightly, and gave his guess, "Could it be the revenge of a certain wild Extraordinary who was tracked down?"

As official Beyonders, they will inevitably offend some wild Beyonders.

Especially those members of extreme cult organizations such as the Aurora Society, this seems like something they can do.

It's a pity that there are too few clues to speculate at all.

"There's one more clue."

Lolotta said slowly, "Although the smell is very light, there is the smell of cloves and gooseberries in the air, and the murderer hollowed out Eve's internal organs, it's more like some kind of ritual."

"If it's a ceremony,"

Al's expression became serious, and he said in a deep voice, "That's the Blood Cult or the Rose School!"

Backlund has many Beyonders from ancient organizations.

Among these organizations, there are relatively harmless ones like Elemental Dawn and the Brotherhood of Pure Light, as well as extreme terrorists like the Aurora Society who believe in the 'true creator'.

And when it comes to rituals, there are only Blood Worship Cults who worship demons and Rose School who like bloody sacrifices.

Among them, the Blood Worship Cult masters the 'criminal' sequence pathway, while the rose school of thought masters the 'prisoner' sequence pathway.

Just from the name of the potion, one can guess how high the crime rate of Extraordinary people in these two sequence pathways is.

Although it is still unknown who the murderer is.

But at least the scope can be initially locked, and there is a high probability that it was done by the Blood Worship Cult or the Rose School of thought.

And if you want to further narrow the scope, you can only find out the reason why the other party is eyeing Eve.

And the most likely reason for a wild Beyonder to kill an official Beyonder is vendetta.

"Simon"

Al said in a deep voice, "It's best to start with the wild Beyonders you've been tracking down recently, and we'll help with the investigation."

"it is good."

Simon responded hoarsely, but didn't make any further movements, just stood in front of the corpse without saying a word.

Al fell silent until Borgia pulled him back and gave him a wink.

In the end, the four members of the Al team and Rayleigh left the living room, leaving the space for Simon alone.

"Do you smoke?"

Al took out a pack of cigarettes from nowhere, silently took out a match and lit it for himself and asked.

"Give me one."

Borgia, who never smoked, said in a low voice.

Al was also unambiguous, and threw the cigarette over casually.

"Simon and Eve are a couple."

Luo Luota glanced at the embers on the side, and explained softly, "They had originally decided to get married next month, but now..."

Saying that, Lolotta's eyes dimmed.

Although both are Extraordinary, even though she and Eve are not even on the same team.

But the friendship between them, who are both women, is very deep.

They went shopping together the day before yesterday to celebrate her promotion to a psychic.

Who knew that in the past two days, it would actually evolve into what it is now?

Ember was silent and didn't say much.

He learned some information on the way here.

Eve was assigned to Simon's team when she first joined the Nighthawks two years ago.

There are three people in the team, Simon, Rayleigh, and Eve, which can be regarded as the standard equipment for Backlund Nighthawks——

The team is generally composed of three to four people, and there are usually two Beyonders of the night watchman path and one Beyonder of the auxiliary profession, and the Beyonder of the auxiliary profession is usually a corpse collector or a fortuneteller.

Including Aiur team before the arrival of embers is also the standard configuration.

Eve was promoted to the 'Joker' of Sequence 8 half a month ago, and she is about to enter the marriage hall with Simon.

It was supposed to usher in a bright future with a double harvest of career and love, but now it has become a cold corpse.

"I can't do anything."

Lolotta closed her eyes in pain.
