Lord of Enigma

Led by two police officers, a group of people walked into the church.

It was a small church with a history of at least a hundred years: old chairs, mottled walkways, stained glass inlaid on both walls, and the statue of the Mother Of Light on the white stone brick platform in front. It indeed made one feel at ease.

Unfortunately, all of this was completely destroyed by the corpses on the ground.

There were seven in total. Although they had large white cloth over them, they were not covered completely. Some of the exposed parts showed clothing that obviously didn't conform with the current trend of fashion.

The forensic girl who had just seen the bodies first expressed her dissatisfaction. Then following her professional instinct, she bent down and prepared to examine the bodies while questioning the two police officers, "Why are the bodies of the deceased placed here? Shouldn't they be placed in cold storage? In order to shirk your responsibilities, you didn’t even care about the basic professional ethics? "

Renee, the usually gentle forensic doctor, immediately became more serious when she got involved in her field of expertise.

The two reception police officers were obviously not of high rank. When they were suddenly scolded by someone from the General Administration, they both subconsciously lowered their heads. The police officer from the Lopez district was the first to react and provided an explanation, "We originally planned to arrange for the cold storage, but later discovered that these corpses have always maintained a low temperature and stiffness without any changes. In order to facilitate your investigation, they have all been brought here."

"How can this…eh?"

Before she could finish her questioning, she also found something wrong.

She took a small hammer from her kit, and then tentatively knocked on the arm of the first deceased. Immediately, a "dong" sound was heard. The texture of the sound was like knocking on ice.

"Try it with a scalpel."

Tang Qi's voice came suddenly.

"Ok?"

After Tang Qi's reminder, Renee and the others realized that none of the seven corpses had been dissected.

This was inconceivable. It was inevitable for forensic experts to dissect corpses once serials of murders occurred.

But here, this link was actually missing.

Seeing that the questioning eyes of the General Administration had swept over again, and there was also that famous police woman among them, the two police officers explained in a tacit understanding, "We tried all kinds of methods, but we still couldn't dissect them. which is also one of the reasons we reported the case."

Soon, everyone knew what the two meant.

Because Renee also took out a scalpel, and then lifted the clothes of the first corpse. She sliced the surgical knife along the pit of the stomach, but no matter how hard she tried, the sharp blade could not break through the defense of the stiff skin. Only bursts of grating voices came into their ears.

It was like the sound of metal scraping against each other.

How is it possible for human skin to be like this?

The forensic girl, who was exposed to this weirdness for the first time, acted as if she didn't hear the police officer's previous reminder. She stubbornly took out other tools such as saws and axes from the toolkit and took turns to battle. As a result, a harsh jarring sound continued to torment the crowd for several minutes.

Nevertheless, the corpse remained the same.

"Impossible!"

Before coming here, Renee had made a promise, but she still couldn't accept this supernatural phenomenon. If it weren't for Stana's dissuasion, she was ready to apply for a more powerful weapon to break through the skin.

Everyone looked at Tang Qi subconsciously, after all, he was the consultant of the mystical side, wasn't he?

In the face of such a supernatural scene, he should be able to do something.

At the same time, Tang Qi was really interested. He narrowed his eyes slightly and walked slowly to a corpse.

His eyes saw a faint light.

In fact, he had seen it the moment he stepped into the church.

The seven corpses emitted a faint light.

This was inconceivable.

Because the people killed by the extraordinary creatures were just human beings themselves, and could not trigger Tang Qi's special abilities.

Now, this scene meant that these corpses had undergone some unknown changes.

"Buzz"

With the condensation of his mental sense, the special interface at the bottom of his eyes finally took shape.

[Mysterious Object: Drunken Corpse]

[Status: Complete]

[Information Fragment one: This is a sad story, a lost soul, she holds the cursed wine jug, looking for her perfect lover, and every time she finds one, she drops a drop of eternal wine on the body of her lover, Longing for his resurrection, but her heart was broken heart every time.]

[Information Fragment two: The corpses contaminated by "eternal wine" are extremely hard and hardly destroyed by sharp objects. Their flesh and blood can be used as materials for certain secret medicines or other mystical uses.]

"The Eternal Wine?"

Tang Qi's heart skipped a beat.

Although judging the power of a strange item by its name doesn't sound reasonable, it was a common failing of human beings, and Tang Qi was no exception.

Tang Qi, who was in a leisurely mood, suddenly became very serious.

At this moment, he suddenly saw the clothes on the seven corpses.

It looked like a gentleman's style that was popular decades ago. A little different was that there was a white handkerchief in the jacket pocket, folded into a very beautiful shape.

Then, several words jumped in Tang Qi's mind at the same time.

"Perfect lover?"

"Eternal wine?"

Tang Qi seemed to have thought of something and had come to a realization, but the curiosity that flashed across his eyes became more intense.

Everyone saw Tang Qi's expression changed, and was about to ask something.

But Tang Qi stood up slowly, took a deep breath, and said, "I think, I already know who the murderer is, or what it is. But we need to find a handsome guy to help us find her. Not any handsome guy, but the kind of handsome men who are sought after by people in the era of upheaval. "

"The era of upheaval?"

Hearing this, everyone was stunned.

The quickest to respond was the old man Gideon.

After all, he was a senior detective who had solved many cases. As soon as he heard Tang Qi's hint, he subconsciously glanced at the seven corpses on the ground and the clothes they were wearing. With a slight change of expression, he seemed to have come to a conclusion.

It's just that there was still a look of surprise on his face. As if to verify, he murmured, "What our young consultant means is that the existence of killing these seven poor people one after another seems to be an obsession with the aesthetic taste of the era of upheaval? "

"The era of upheaval?"

These three words were obviously highly recognizable.

At least, everyone present knew that it was a different era.

As one of the most powerful political groups in Blue Star, the Condor Federation has hardly encountered any failed wars since its establishment. But a few decades ago, it unexpectedly lost to another equally powerful country. Due to the defeat of the war, coupled with the economic downturn in the Federation, an economic crisis that swept the whole country broke out.

The depression of most industries had unexpectedly allowed the film industry to develop quite a bit.

Many wonderful movies appeared one after another. Now people can accurately know the aesthetics of that era from those video materials.

That is the era of upheaval.

After getting the hint, everyone realized that the seven corpses on the ground, without mentioning their clothing which obviously came from the era of upheaval, really made them feel weirded out.

It was something else the seven dead people had in common: their faces.

Although they were of different races and ages, their faces were all very angular, as if they were carved by a craftsman with an axe, with sharp edges and corners, giving a sense of sharpness. The typical aesthetic taste of the era of upheaval.

It was quite different from the current movie stars.

Seeing this, everyone was slightly excited.

However, Tang Qi nodded first, then shook his head.
