Mystery: Good Witch

Chapter 120 Old Neil's Ritual Magic
Half an hour later, the two returned to the hall on the first floor, which was full of blood.

They went through every room of the three-storey house and found no other victims. It seems that all the people in the house were gathered in the hall and brutally murdered.

Angel also found that the study room and the master bedroom had been searched, but they were not messy, but were searched very purposefully, including the safe hidden behind the hanging paintings, which was also opened normally, and it was empty.

It seems that regardless of whether the murderer came for revenge or not, he also carried out efficient property plundering at the same time, and it is likely that he threatened the owner of this house and asked him to take out all valuable items by himself, which made him appear so "efficient" .

When the two descended from the central staircase to the first floor, old Neil in black robes had already arrived at the scene. He put the wooden box he carried on the low stool by the door and was rummaging for something inside.

Hearing the footsteps of Angel and Leonard, the "Secret Peer" turned around.

"When I heard that the policeman was looking for me, I thought it was a weird but not bloody scene like that of Riel Bieber last time, but I didn't expect..."

He looked around the hall, his wrinkled face showed a trace of solemnity.

"Such a bloody and violent scene, I have also..." He sighed before continuing, "Well, I have actually seen it quite a few times."

"The most recent one is the serial killer who shocked Tingen five years ago, um, it's the 'criminal' pathway, also known as the 'devil' pathway's Sequence 7, 'serial killer'."

Old Neil turned around and squatted down, continuing to search for the required ritual materials in the wooden box, and chattering words continued to come out from under his hood.

"They worship demons, and like to sacrifice innocent lives with their own evil rituals that can please the demons. The victims who fall into their hands often die miserable, just like the ones in this hall now."

"The captain talked about this. Miss Roseanne's father also died in the process of tracking down the serial killer, right?"

Leonard on the side asked.

"Yes, and he died very... So we told Roseanne that he died in an accident and died in the process of protecting the people. Dunn hoped that she could live happily instead of pursuing something extraordinary. Strength, in her father's old ways."

Old Neil's words were filled with a bit of embarrassment, which made Angel feel a little depressed. She didn't expect Luo Shan's father to die at the hands of a ferocious Extraordinary, instead of the "accident" that she had heard all along.

"Okay, let's not mention these, what I mean is that this kind of murder scene that looks very bloody may be just the work of an isolated villain with a perverted hobby, or it may be a serial murder, Part of the demon sacrifice ritual."

"You were right to call me here."

Holding a few thumb-sized glass bottles and a cloth bag, Old Neil stood up from the wooden box, turned around and concluded.

He opened the cork of the glass bottle, walked to the center of the hall, found a space with less flesh and blood and stood there, sprinkled the liquids of various colors in the bottle beside him, forming a circle.

Then he twisted out the powder in the cloth bag and sprinkled it around.

"This is Holy Night Powder. In this case, it can replace the ritual dagger and quickly build a spiritual wall."

He explained as he sprinkled the powder.

When the powder met the liquid on the ground, a pungent smell evaporated, covering up the bloody smell in the hall, and like an invisible wall, separating Old Neil from the other two.

There is no need to prepare a holy knife, but you must prepare the materials in advance. It seems that each has its own convenience...

It was the first time Angel saw Old Neil, the "Secret Peeper", using ritual magic, and he stared at his every move with curious eyes. Leonard next to him seemed to have seen it a lot, and his eyes kept turning around, and he even took a nap in boredom. Yawned.

Old Neil half-closed his eyes, entered into meditation, half-opened his hands, and squirmed his lips, reciting a prayer in a low voice. Due to the barrier of the spiritual wall, Angel could not hear the content of the prayer clearly, but it must be praising the Evernight Goddess, Ask the Goddess for help.

It feels similar to Klein's dream divination. Set up the scene, enter meditation, and then wake up and tell us what we saw?

Just as Angel was secretly speculating, Old Neil suddenly opened his eyes, the dark red in his pupils became deeper, and finally turned into complete black, spreading to the whites of his eyes.

He directly waved his hand to remove the spiritual wall, walked quickly to the wooden box he brought, took out white paper and pencils from it, closed the box lid and used it as a table, quickly drew on the paper, waving his arms, his body shaking like a cramp Usually, there is an invisible madness around him.

Angel and Leonard quietly surrounded it, and found a thin, thick-lipped face on the white paper gradually taking shape.

"Black hair, brown eyes, about 30 years old."

After using words to describe the content that was difficult to express in the sketch, Old Neil's eyes returned to their normal color, and his body stopped shaking wildly.

"Praise the goddess."

He drew the crimson moon on his chest, and the invisible madness around him disappeared.

The secret peeper put down his hood and looked at the two teammates beside him, with a trace of sweat dripping down his neck.

It seems that the ceremony just now was not a small burden for him, an elderly man.

------

"I saw what remained of the room, the intruder killing everyone."

After taking a short rest on the bench in the cloakroom, Old Neil began to describe what he saw and heard.

"He gathered everyone in the hall, took his wife and children as hostages, and threatened the host to take out his belongings, otherwise he would kill everyone."

"The subsequent clips are a bit messy, maybe they were disturbed by some extraordinary abilities. Of course, we also saw the result. Including the male protagonist, none of the five people escaped."

He looked at the door from the cloakroom to the hall.

"This is similar to our guess. There is no sign of damage or wanton flipping in the upstairs study or bedroom. All valuables have disappeared. The safe was also opened with a password. It should be found by that Alan Pulke himself. It's a pity that all these efforts failed to save him and his family."

Leonard said quite emotionally.

"What is his method of killing? Ordinary means can't create such a scene, right?"

Angel was more concerned about the murderer's method of killing. At first, she even suspected that Mr. C who escaped in Enmat Harbor did all of this, but the portrait given by Old Neil made her feel strange again.

Maybe this is another "Rose Bishop" of the Aurora Order?
Old Neil also frowned, and hesitated for a while before answering.

"After he got the cash, jewelry, and bearer bonds, he forced everyone to drink a glass of red potion, um, the color is a bit like red wine, and then, in his loud voice, everyone exploded Blood mist."

"I can't see the follow-up situation. Maybe it's the interference caused by the explosion. Maybe it's because the Extraordinary left without a psychic target. But I found that in the divination, the on-site, on-site 'meat volume', Much more than what I see now."

Meat...

Angel felt that this word was a bit creepy, so it was no wonder that Old Neil hesitated for a long time before telling the scene at that time.

"So, the murderer not only took away the anonymous and untraceable property, killed everyone at the scene, but also took some of their remains?"

Leonard also looked towards the hall, and said with a cold face.
