Chapter 262 Dark Fairy Tale Book

Ten minutes later, Zhou Yuan figured out the whole story.

The deceased was named Belinda Young, a violinist in a famous symphony orchestra. She came from a musical family, a legitimate old Londoner with a Union Jack, and a wealthy, upper-class person.

Two days ago, she visited the London branch of the Church of the Holy Crow and said that she had been having strange dreams in recent days. The content of the dreams was the classic fairy tale "The Little Mermaid", and she herself became the little mermaid.

The dream was very real and it was like a TV series. The plot of each night was connected to what happened the night before. This made Belinda feel that she must have been affected by supernatural powers. She heard that the Cult of the Holy Crow was very good at the dream field, so she came to seek help.

The Holy Crow Cult conducted a "physical examination" on her and found no signs of supernatural powers on her body. Then they entered her dream that night and found nothing, as there was no so-called fairy tale dream.

However, the next day, after Belinda woke up, she said that she still had a nightmare last night, and the story in the dream was about to come to an end. She was very afraid that her fate would be the same as the little mermaid in the story and turned into foam in the sun, so she asked for refuge from the Holy Crow Cult.

Since nothing was discovered, the Crow Cult only thought that Belinda had suffered from "supernatural panic disorder", which was very common after the supernatural veil was lifted. The symptoms were that whenever she encountered something unusual in her daily life, such as being sick or having nightmares, she would subconsciously think that she was being affected by supernatural forces, and further fantasize that someone was trying to harm her, which triggered a series of chain reactions, panic, suspicion, neurasthenia...

Interestingly, the disease is more common among the rich and powerful than among the lower classes.

Hatred, power struggle, political struggle, business struggle... these things have become particularly simple and crude after the emergence of supernatural powers. As long as a curse master is hired, the hostile personnel can be easily killed by curse from a distance without leaving any clues.

Many similar cases have occurred. All the powerful and wealthy people are worried that they will be the next person to die in the headlines. Therefore, they are willing to spend a lot of money to hire extraordinary people as bodyguards to prevent themselves from being assassinated in various forms, which has also boosted the economy of the extraordinary world.

In addition to this, there is another way, which is to join the major forces to seek refuge. The Holy Crow Cult has accepted many people during this period.

Of course, despite the numerous blunders in the past, the Holy Crow Cult did not let down their guard. After all, they had paid for the service, so the service was guaranteed to be good. They immediately provided Belinda with several layers of protection and also found some extraordinary items for self-defense.

But something went wrong.

Early this morning, Belinda woke up from her sleep, screaming in fear, and then, in the stunned gaze of her two bodyguards, she turned into a ball of bubbles and shattered in the sunlight, just as the ending described in the story.

The two bodyguards quickly reported the matter to the bishop, but when the bishop arrived, he was unable to find any useful clues. Everything was too strange, and there was not even any energy left at the scene.

Afterwards, they checked Belinda's personal belongings and found two cursed musical instruments in an isolation box in an oversized suitcase. The top leaders of the Holy Crow Cult had previously received an order to search for cursed musical instruments, so the Bishop of London contacted Ye Wan directly.

The two cursed instruments are: the evil bone violin and the bloody saxophone.

Zhou Yuan muttered to himself, and then said to the bishop: "Take me to that room and take a look."

He smelled a mission.

More than twenty minutes later, in a luxury suite of a high-end hotel.

Zhou Yuan looked around the room, his eyes finally falling on the bed. A visible force field enveloped the area, freezing the scene at the moment of the incident.

When the quilt on the bed was lifted, there was a large wet stain and a lot of white foam that had not yet burst, and the outline of a human figure could be vaguely seen.

[The remains of Belinda Young. She touched something she shouldn't have touched and brought disaster upon herself. It was a book called "Dark Fairy Tales", which recorded the evil and madness of countless worlds. Without exception, no one touched by it had a good ending.

The strange dreams she experienced were not dreams, but her will and soul traveling into a dark fairy tale world. When the characters in the fairy tale died, the people in the real world would die in the same way.

The place where she came into contact with "Dark Fairy Tales" was a library that did not exist in the real world. 】

[One day, Belinda received a package. When she opened it, she found a human bone violin inside, and a sticky note attached, which read "You are a talented person. Accept this violin. It will be your ticket to the highest music hall."

Although the human bone violin is very creepy, it has a kind of magic. Belinda somehow kept it and played it alone late at night. The sad and melodious tone made her obsessed.

Many days later, she went to a musicians exchange meeting and had sex with a saxophone player. At the other's house, she accidentally found the Blood Saxophone. After some communication, she learned that the other party also received an anonymous package and got the instrument.

The two discussed it for a long time and felt that this might be the work of some extraordinary person. In addition to being nervous and afraid, they also developed a strong interest in the "Supreme Music Hall" mentioned in the note.

With this common secret, the relationship between the two quickly heated up, but half a month later, the saxophone player was killed by his enemy. Belinda was extremely sad and took the bloody saxophone with her.

The Eye of Identification presented detailed information, and then the system prompt sounded in Zhou Yuan's ears.
