Alien paradise

"Sir, we've arrived at No. 375 Oak Street," the coachman reminded.

"Just wait here." Chaoyang ordered, opened the door and got out of the car.

It was now two o'clock in the afternoon, and Brilliant Castle ushered in the long-lost sunny day. The slightly scorching sunshine penetrated the shade of the trees on both sides of the road, printing swaying spots on the ground. This was considered a good day to go out for a stroll, but there were not many people on the street - compared to a week ago, the city seemed much deserted at this time.

Further away, there were two cavalrymen wearing city guard uniforms patrolling along the street.

Chaoyang lowered the brim of his hat and walked into No. 375.

This is a two-story building, which is also another secret residence of Court Dann. Judging from the decoration on the first floor, it looks like a fruit shop that is going out of business, with empty fruit racks on the walls.

Not long after he entered the foyer, Judy greeted him.

"You are here. I have been looking forward to it since I received your letter..." Her expression was quite excited, as if she was happy to see Mr. Detective again, "You said you need help with something, as long as we can do it Yes, we must spare no effort!”

"Judy, are you your Excellency?" Dann's voice came from the inner room.

Chaoyang noticed that this time he raised his title a lot.

"It's him!"

"Invite him into the house to talk."

Chaoyang followed Judy to the living room, where freshly brewed tea was already placed on the low table. Dann sat cautiously at the low table, with thick dark circles around his eyes. When he saw Chaoyang coming in, he immediately stood up and bowed slightly to salute.

Chaoyang glanced at him with some surprise. He had the impression that this reporter dared to investigate the truth of the serial murder case. He didn't break down even when his mission was hanging by a thread. He was definitely not timid. Why did he become so respectful now?

"Why, didn't you sleep well?" He took off his hat and sat down opposite Dan.

The latter smiled bitterly and shook his head, "I'm afraid you are the only one who can sleep these days. You may not understand the concept of uprooting the police station in the north of the city, let alone the grand theater that was reduced to ashes overnight. Now as long as Wherever people gather, the topic must be this, even the sales of Jedi Brothers newspaper increased by 50%!"

"We thought you would wait for the storm to subside before coming back, but we didn't expect that you didn't care about the city guard's search at all." Judy also echoed, "Honestly, this is the biggest thing I have seen since I came to Brilliant Castle. The second prince used to The delegation’s visit has never caused such a big sensation!”

"So...Coach is really dead?" Dann asked softly.

"Yes, I have confirmed this with my own eyes." Chaoyang nodded. Although using the real body in the end took a considerable risk, the rewards were also extremely generous. If the harvested will power is not used indiscriminately, it will be enough to keep him alive for half a year, which is a qualitative leap compared to the previous nine days of life. "Although he is not the culprit, he is the direct mastermind of this case. Only if he is dead will no one be able to trace you."

Judy's eyes sparkled a little more.

"I just said there must be a reason why His Excellency Chao did not suggest that we leave the city overnight."

"Coach's death is one reason, and the other reason is that I'm worried that the culprit may be in the Old Continent, and it may not be safe to escape from Glory Castle." Chaoyang picked up the tea cup and took a sip. Of course he wouldn't say it. The main reason was that if these two people left, he would have to re-establish a network of relationships.

"Thank you." Dann said after a moment of silence, "Not only for saving me, but also for the other rescued people. I once doubted you, but now it seems that I was wrong. What if I was also pregnant? If you are willing, I can give it to you as well..."

Chaoyang interrupted directly, "Willing power must be based on the premise of signing a contract. Judy has paid the reward. This matter is settled and there is no need to mention it again. Did you just say that there are other people who have been rescued?"

"Yes, the city guards found five more survivors in the manor dungeon. I heard that the lord has ordered a thorough investigation into the matter." Dann replied, "On the contrary, the sponsor of the police station in the north of the city has remained silent. , all interview requests have been rejected, and people outside don’t even know that they are the real culprits of the serial murders.”

When he said this, there was obvious unwillingness in his eyes.

Chaoyang had to remind, "Since the lord wants to investigate, the truth will come out one day. There is no need for you to speak out now."

Otherwise, the gain outweighs the loss by being targeted by the forces behind Coach.

Dann gradually loosened his fists and said, "That's what you said. Let's talk about business. You said you need our help. What is it specifically?"

Judy also held her breath at this moment.

Chaoyang was silent for a moment before speaking, "I need a few bodies."

"Body?" Dan En was slightly startled, "Can you elaborate in more detail..."

"Ah!" Judy shouted out loud, "Sir, are you referring to a dead person?"

"Ahem... It can be understood that way." Chaoyang said calmly, but he was also quite embarrassed in his heart - because this request seemed so weird, almost like a cultist. "It has to be fresh, not spoiled. And if there's a choice, I want them to be of the following sizes."

After speaking, he handed over a note, which recorded the height, measurements, weight and other data of more than ten groups.

After the last round of the game, Chaoyang found that more than half of his wish power expenses were spent on creating bodies, which also greatly limited the number of players entering the park. The solution is very simple, that is, to use the physical body as the carrier. He only needs to invest a little effort in daily maintenance and replace it directly if it is seriously damaged.

However, the method is simple, but not so easy to implement - in this unfamiliar world, where can he find a complete and fresh body?

So turning to locals for help became the only option.

I hope they won't fall out because of this because they are lifesavers.

"This..." Dann took the note and showed an extremely troubled expression.

"If there is no other way, forget it. I don't have to let you do this." Chaoyang was afraid that he would misunderstand, so he promptly added, "As for murdering in exchange for a body, that is even more undesirable."

He originally thought that the other party would give up, but the reporter carefully folded the note and looked up at him, "Your Excellency, I want to ask you a question first."

"you say."

"Excuse me...are you acting on behalf of a certain god?" Dan's tone was extremely solemn.

Chaoyang was stunned, but then quickly realized - that's it! This is why the other party has been so reserved!

He regarded himself as the spokesperson of a certain god!

But think about it, an ordinary detective could destroy the organizational strength of the Chengbei Police Department overnight, and kill the chief himself?

Even if there is such a person, it is definitely not an unknown person.

Unless there is a stronger force behind him.

It is reasonable for the press conference to think so.

Of course... the detective is not Chaoyang's identity, or any image that talks to people comes from his creation, so in a sense, the truth is quite similar to what Dane guessed, the only difference is that he does it for himself Just acting.

And it doesn't seem to hurt you to let reporters misunderstand you.

Thinking of this, Chaoyang simply responded, "Not bad."
