I'm really a necromancer

Chapter 106 Strange? (3.1k)
"Spirituality?"

Yi Hua, who had seen similar effect descriptions in the materials, said.

"Yes."

Sassan's cold voice sounded, and after a while, the pale halo dissipated, but the corpse did not show any change.

"No, the death time is too long, and the soul has dissipated."

Sassan, who was going to ask for clues about the murderer through the remaining soul of the deceased, opened her lake-blue eyes, frowned, and sighed.

"Let me try it."

Seeing that the spirit summoning technique was ineffective, a second-class young apprentice with a thin face and an extremely strange face stepped forward and said silently to the corpse:
"Tracing the source of death."

This is a kind of witchcraft involving death and time.

Generally, witchcraft related to time and space is relatively advanced, and most of them are formal wizard-level witchcraft.

Although the lower-level space-time wizardry is not uncommon, it is relatively rare and extremely valuable.

This apprentice was able to learn the "Death Tracing Technique" involving time, and he was obviously not an unknown person in the academy.

But at this time, everyone didn't have time to pay attention to these, and quietly waited for the other party to perform the death retrospective technique.

I saw that with the successful execution of the death retrospective technique, a blurry phantom appeared on the corresponding corpse, and the face was the same as the face of the corpse.

At this time, the other party was standing in place, looking around vigilantly, a metallic light flashed across his body, as if he had sensed some kind of crisis and activated the defensive witchcraft.

But before he could make the next move, his body collapsed to the ground as if he had lost all vitality in an instant.

The death recall technique is interrupted, which means that the opponent has died.

Without stopping, the skinny young man once again performed the Death Recalling Technique on the corpse of a middle-aged knight.

"According to the information, this knight should have been patrolling the streets in the north of the city during his lifetime."

As soon as the thin young man's voice fell, another blurred phantom like a stick figure appeared on the spot.

The middle-aged knight maintained a walking posture, looking around to maintain vigilance while moving forward.

It did match the description of the patrol in the data, but this time, the middle-aged knight on patrol suddenly showed a strange look, but before he had time to react, he lost his life without knowing it.

I thought that during the patrol, the middle-aged knight in a state of high vigilance could detect the real murderer in advance and more or less reveal part of the information, but I didn't expect to be worse than the previous first-class apprentice.

"Huh, it's a pity, I can only look back at the time of the dead for about three seconds, and I can't continue to use it for the time being."

Exercising the Death Recalling Technique seemed to consume a lot of energy. The thin young man panted heavily, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said regretfully.

Although there was not much information revealed by the previous death retrospective technique, as apprentice wizards, everyone has much richer knowledge and experience than ordinary people.

From the backtracking in just a few seconds, a lot of useful information has been calculated.

"According to the fragments shown in the death retrospective, the first first-class apprentices sensed danger and tried to struggle while they were alive, while the later knights did not resist even though they sensed something strange."

"But without exception, neither of them has a clear defense target. This may mean that the two of them were not attacked by the murderer from outside, and the cause of death may appear in their bodies."

There was a vague sense of familiarity in his heart, but Yi Hua, who couldn't grasp it immediately, thought to himself.

At the same time, Sassan, the vice president of the Silver Star Society, said:

"These apprentices and knights seemed to be killed by some kind of power in an instant. The power is extremely hidden, and the victim has almost no effective resistance. The power seems to be able to ignore the witchcraft shield and directly deprive the target of life."

"Could it be a power related to life or soul?"

Sasan, who is good at soul witchcraft, made a conjecture based on her own experience.

Hearing Sassan's conjecture, Nok, who was not far away as a deadly enemy, frowned and expressed his opinion.

"There are no wounds on these corpses. Judging from their strange way of death and the fact that the dead are basically concentrated in the north of the city, I think they may have encountered something strange."

Hearing Nock's point of view, several apprentices agreed, but Sassan instinctively felt something was wrong, and subconsciously retorted:
"Camilla City is still some distance away from Fangorn Forest. It has been safe and sound during this time. Why did the strangeness suddenly appear in the city?"

"Who knows, maybe someone brought the weirdness into the city, causing the weirdness to spread from the city. The dead only appeared in the north of the city, which also conforms to the characteristic that the weirdness only exists in a specific area."

The vice-chairman of the Freemasonry, Bloody Nock's eyes flickered slightly, and he put forward a plausible explanation.

Hearing the explanation put forward by the bloody hand, several people around were unable to refute it.

There was a long silence, seeing that no other conclusions could be drawn, the second-class apprentice appointed by Santo Fabius to be in charge of the report came to a conclusion:
"Let's leave it at that for the time being. Let's tentatively define this incident as something weird. I will report this matter to the city lord and the investigation will continue."

After all, the second-class apprentice left the place straight away, and the apprentice who used the death retrospective technique planned to wait until he recovered his magic power before investigating.

Some of the other apprentices saw that they couldn't get more information from the dead bodies at the scene, so they decided to investigate the place where the victim died, or they went around and visited to get useful information from ordinary people.

Soon, all the apprentices present left the morgue one after another.

As for Bloody Hand, the vice president of the Freemasonry who sent his apprentices to look for him before going to Yole City, he never looked at Yi Hua from the beginning to the end.

He seemed to be unfamiliar with Yi Huasu, but he did not let down his vigilance because of this.

Yi Hua, who was still in the morgue, looked at the row of corpses in front of him, his face gradually became serious.

Seeing that all the apprentices around had left, Yi Hua, who was still staying in the morgue, endured the gradual decay of the corpses and the stench that began to be produced, and touched the corpses in the room one by one with his hands.

He didn't simply touch, but at the same time, he sent the life energy in his body into the corpse.

The life energy of the Earth Knight level was poured into the corpse smoothly, and it swam rapidly among the limbs and bones of the corpse.

Under normal circumstances, after a creature dies, the vitality in the body will gradually lose over time until it dissipates completely.

Judging from the characteristics, there seems to be no abnormality in these corpses whose life energy has completely dissipated.

But first of all, the time factor must be ruled out——

"not right"

Sensing the strangeness, Yi Hua frowned.

The dead bodies in front of them had been dead for less than half a day, and the life energy in their bodies dissipated too quickly, so clean that there was not even a trace of them left.

Ordinary people might be able to make sense of it, but these are at least first-class apprentices and formal knights!
Under normal circumstances, it would take at least a few days for the life energy in the body to completely dissipate.

Previously, everyone preliminarily concluded that the apprentices in front of them had encountered something strange.

But if it was really weird, the state of these corpses would definitely not be so "clean", and would be more or less affected by the weirdness and produce some kind of abnormal change.

"It has to be confirmed again."

Afterwards, Yi Hua took a look at Nuo Lei's corpse with a pale face and wide-eyed eyes, and walked forward to repeat the previous operation.

After the infusion, the life energy flowed smoothly in Nuo Lei's body. Feeling the corpse that also did not retain any life energy, Yi Hua's eyes froze slightly.

To be on the safe side, Yihua instilled life energy into all the corpses present one after another. After doing all this, Yihua's eyes were a little cold.

These corpses, no matter how long they were dead or how much life energy they had, all of them didn't have any life energy left.

Recalling the previous revelations about the internal causes of the deaths of these deceased, Yi Hua murmured:

"Could it be that the life energy of these corpses did not dissipate after death, but was completely deprived when they were alive?"

The act of depriving life energy will generally not cause obvious trauma to the body, if the force is strong enough, it can indeed cause the target to lose life.

And unless it is life-based defensive witchcraft like life armor, there is a high probability that it will not be able to resist the loss of life energy.

This is also in line with the fact that these corpses have no wounds, and the apprentice tried to activate the defensive witchcraft to defend, but lost his life in vain.

This familiar situation reminded Yihua subconsciously of his experience in Rafal Barony.

The woman carrying the blood plague orb used the power of the blood plague orb to wantonly arrest residents in Barony Rafal and extract life energy.

"If it was really caused by the blood plague bead, then Sassan's idea is actually very close to the truth. At this time, the 'weird' theory put forward by the blood hand will obviously mislead the direction of the investigation. Is it intentional or a coincidence?"

As the vice-chairman of the Freemasonry, Bloody Hand deliberately refuted the conclusions of Sassan, the vice-chairman of the Silver Star Society, which is the mortal enemy.

Knowing that this was a bit strange, Yi Hua left the morgue, thinking while walking on the way back.

Because life energy can't track down the murderer, it's worthless to use on corpses, so no one has considered this before.

If it wasn't for Yihua's careful thinking and previous similar experiences, he would not be able to use life energy to deduce that these people were probably not killed by weirdness, but died because of being deprived of life energy in an instant.

"This matter should be reported to Brother Fabius."

Yi Hua, who originally planned to look for Fabius directly, stopped walking and realized something in his heart.

"In the final analysis, my current deduction is nothing more than a guess. Just by depriving life energy, it does not deny the possibility that these people were killed by weirdness."

"Let's check the death scene of these apprentices first. There may be no clues left in the area where the murderer showed up."

From Yi Hua's point of view, the murderer might commit crimes again. With his power of the Illuminati in the north of the city, and at the same time mobilizing the Blackwater Gang to help the crowd, coupled with his own strength at the level of the Earth Knight, he might be able to find clues to the murderer. .

Yi Hua soon appeared around a death scene in the north of the city.

Several members of the investigation team had already gathered around the place where the apprentice died. They searched around, or checked the traces left by the deceased in situ, trying to find useful clues.
