Mystery: Lucky

After Alger introduced the Four Kings and Seven Generals, Audrey said with anticipation: "Thank you very much for sharing. I'm beginning to yearn for the sea. I don't know when I will be able to truly travel."

"No, Miss Justice, this is definitely not as beautiful as you imagined. In my opinion, this is a combination of blood, chaos, killing, desire, and fear." Alger calmly poured cold water on it.

Audrey nodded, and then said: "There was a serial murder case in Backlund recently. There were 11 cases in total, but one of them was confirmed to be a copycat crime. The characteristics of this serial murder case were that it targeted those who had done it. For women who are street girls but currently have regular jobs, the murderer will cut open their abdomens and remove all their internal organs.”

"It sounds like it has something to do with worshiping demons. It was done by people from the Blood Worship Cult?" Alger made a guess instantly.

"I don't know, the murderer hasn't been found yet." Audrey didn't look happy about this.

"That's normal," Alice knocked on the table, "Who would have thought that the murderer was not a person, but a dog?"

"Dog?" Thinking of her Susie, Audrey looked at Alice in surprise.

"I rescued a girl from a dog suspected of being a 'devil' a few days ago," Alice shrugged. "To be precise, the guy suddenly ran away..."

Recalling Alice's question not long ago, Audrey suddenly realized, and then asked with concern: "Where is that girl? How is it?"

"Went to the Church of the Night." Alice spread her hands.

"Then...that's not right!" After hearing Alice's words, Audrey breathed a sigh of relief, but she randomly noticed something was wrong. "In this case, why do the authorities still have no clues at all?"

"Perhaps, they are waiting for me to collect the bounty." Alice replied, "I guess the church is also curious about why the 'demon' suddenly ran away... Anyway, not announcing the news will not affect their continued pursuit of the murderer. "

Audrey fell silent.

Although everyone was curious about this matter, Alice obviously had no intention of saying anything.

"I know this ritual." Derrick, who had been ignored, suddenly joined the conversation.

Alice looked over curiously and asked, "You know?"

Derrick nodded: "Our 'Demonology' textbook mentioned it. It is quite ancient. It is a ritual used by demons to assist their promotion. It often appears in Sequence 6 to Sequence 5."

"It's not a ritual to please the devil, but a ritual used by the devil to help him advance?" Audrey asked in surprise.

Derrick answered very seriously: "Yes, Sequence 6 of the 'Abyss' path is called 'Demon', which is also the origin of their family name."

"The 'Abyss' path..." Alice repeated the name thoughtfully. After learning that "Devil" was just the name of Sequence 6 of this path, she realized that the "Abyss" casually spoken by Little Sun was very Probably the name of sequence 0 of this pathway.

There seems to be a lot of lost knowledge in Silver City... Alice's eyes flashed and she asked: "Mr. Sun, do you know the specific content of this ritual?"

Derrick nodded and said:

“The minimum is 13 people and the maximum is 49. The more complete the ceremony, the more likely you are to be promoted.

“There should be at least three days between two killings, otherwise it will easily get out of control, but the interval cannot exceed nine days, as that will reset the ritual.

"After every killing and every part of the ritual, the demon will eat the victim's internal organs. From then on, he will be in a state of violent bloodthirsty and wanting to harm others until that desire is satisfied again."

Alice's expression gradually became serious.

A demon dog in a violent and bloodthirsty state, Alice knew without even thinking about it, its decision probably didn't have much rationality at all.

In other words, an ordinary premonition of danger may not be able to dissuade the devil dog!

However, if I must say it, this only helped Alice confirm the matter again. As early as when she witnessed Megoose's strange death, Alice understood that the unknown influence left on her was by no means a simple existence.

And the unexpected encounter with the mercury snake and the warning that followed made Alice suspect that the influence of that kind of person definitely surpassed the angels of Sequence 1, that is to say...

At least the true God.

Why use at least? Hey, true gods also have strengths and weaknesses.

"It's really scary..." Audrey sighed sincerely.

The discussion on the serial murder case came to an end. Audrey organized her words and then asked:

"Mr. 'The Hanged Man', Miss 'Destiny', I have always had some doubts."

"I have attended several Beyonder gatherings and found that very few people sell magic potion formulas. Even if they do, it is difficult to make a deal. Why?"

Alice, who had never paid attention to this problem, thought of Mr. Fool and Mr. "Eye of Wisdom" as notaries, and after a little thought, she came up with the answer: "If there is not a trustworthy notary in a party, most people will not The ability to distinguish between genuine and fake potion formulas.”

Alger chuckled and said, "Yes, potion formulas are easy to fake. No one dares to risk their own lives. How can you prepare two extraordinary materials and conduct an experiment on animals first?"

"Ahem." Alice interrupted Alger with a tactical cough.

Alger paused for a moment, looked at Audrey's guilty expression, and finally remembered what their "Justice" lady had done, and closed his mouth.

Audrey, who was the first to ask the question, changed the subject guiltily: "Can't it be done by making an oath?"

"Do you want to invite the seven orthodox gods to the party, or do you want to invite the evil gods to enjoy you as a sacrifice?" Alice couldn't help but ask.

Audrey closed her mouth again.

"Actually, there is another reason," Alger said. "Without understanding the 'acting method', potions can easily cause loss of control and turn people into monsters. The corresponding materials are difficult to obtain and quite expensive, so , As long as the seven major churches do not allow similar transactions to be officially certified, the potion formula will not be spread on a large scale without deliberate control, let alone popularization. "

"So that's it..." Audrey whispered to herself.

Derrick opened his mouth. He actually wanted to ask who the seven orthodox gods were, but in the end he cautiously held back and said instead:

"Silver City recently organized an exploration into the depths of darkness and discovered a semi-destroyed temple. The god enshrined inside was a naked man crucified upside down, with a lot of blood smeared on the surface of its body. "

"Do you know which god this is?"

Second update!

I'll try my best to fill up the fifth update. If I'm taken away because of the New Year's Eve dinner or something, I'll make up for the rest in the first and second grades of junior high school (falling down)
