Hunting Saints: Chapter 253 251. The nature is very bad

Val's motorcycle drove her all the way, walking through the streets and alleys, and soon came to a popular spot in the upper city - Champagne Avenue.

Although it has such a name, it does not actually sell champagne, nor is it an 'avenue', but an alley with bars and nightclubs, a very famous nightlife area.

During the day, no one can see people coming and going, and the shops on the street are tightly closed, but at night, colorful neon lights and gaudy signs will be lit up all around, and the shops will open one after another, and the carnival and demons will start to dance wildly.

Such an unhealthy gray area is obviously not suitable for a good girl like Weier. She came here this time because she was ordered to investigate several murder cases.

She didn't know why she asked a scholar in charge of research to handle this kind of thing, but in order to make the next budget application smoother, she could only come here in a hurry.

But as soon as she got out of the car, she saw Akatis standing across the street waiting for her...

Wilton was frantic for a while, and it was fine to rush himself to investigate the case early in the morning, so why did he arrange a partner who was obviously out of tune?

She had no choice but to bite the bullet and walked over, showing a half-smile at Agartis.

Akatis was not polite to her, and pointedly accused:

"you are late."

"That's because I went to Rorschach's side first."

Val's counterattack was obviously more lethal, which made Akatis a little anxious, and asked quickly:

"What are you doing there?"

"I'm a believer of the goddess. Is there anything wrong with going to church?"

"Hmph! You can't lie to me! You obviously have evil intentions!"

"Hehe, it's actually you who harbors evil intentions, right?"

Seeing that the two of them were at war again, Nido, who was behind Akatis, quickly stepped in between them.

"Okay, okay, why do you guys quarrel when you meet, you obviously fought side by side before... Let's get down to business first?"

"Humph!"

"Humph!"

The two didn't continue to quarrel, and reluctantly talked about the business.

In the few hours from early this morning to today's dawn, there were five homicides on this Champagne Avenue, with a total of 14 people killed. number.

Although this kind of place where the night scene gathers seems to be so 'lively', it is 'normal' for some big and small things to happen, but last night was too crowded, the nature was too bad, and the methods were too cruel, so there was a commotion The Tantrics sent people over.

According to the preliminary report of the forensic doctor, among the [-] dead, [-] were men and [-] were women, seven of them died of normal knife wounds and gunshot wounds, and their bodies were still intact; There are varying degrees of incompleteness...

Some are missing hearts, some are missing eyes, some are missing a few internal organs, and the worst is a piece of skin that has been completely ripped off...

The police initially suspected that a cult member committed the crime, so they contacted the Ninth Investigation Section, which then reported to the secret sect, so Val and Agartis were ordered to come over early this morning.

And in addition to investigating the case, the two of them were also responsible for finding traces of a monster, or confirming whether the case was related to it.

"Monster? Why are there monsters in the city?"

Weier muttered wonderingly while flipping through the long preliminary report in his hand.

"In this city of oracles, cultists are easy to find, and nuns who don't know how to check are easy to find, but monsters are really rare..."

"Except for those small pet monsters that are not threatening, like Rorschach's little milk cat, the monsters that are threatening and lethal may have been found in the Central Mountain Range recently..."

"This is really strange, no wonder you let me come over..."

Agartis also speculated while consulting the report:

"Maybe the monster was transformed by a bad woman with evil intentions?"

"Hehe, do you have any common sense? If ordinary people are so easy to alienate into monsters, why do you need you priests?"

"Indeed, pious clergymen will not be willing to degenerate, and it is often evil mystics who become monsters."

Seeing that the two were about to quarrel again, Nido quickly brought the topic back.

"Okay, okay, don't be like this! Let's go to the scene of the crime and have a look?"

Then, the three of them followed the police and investigators at the scene and checked the scenes of the five murders one by one. They were basically in places like garbage dumps, sewers, dead ends, and parking lots.

The only incident that happened in a bar was that the deceased died of a normal gunshot.

The murderer has also surrendered himself. He is a married woman who suspected that her husband was having an affair, so she brought a prohibited matchlock gun and brought her girlfriends to catch the rape. It turned out that she had just entered the bar not long before she had time to catch her husband. Then suddenly went off and killed the best friend she brought...

In the case that happened at the station, the deceased was a young man who couldn’t bear the oppression of his 200-year-old rich girlfriend all day long, so he chose to cut his wrists and committed suicide. The rich girlfriend found out in time and came to fight for the knife. In the process, he accidentally used too much force. Opened the main artery, and died at the speed of light...

At present, the murderer has absconded in fear of crime, but his identity has been locked, and he should be arrested and brought to justice soon.

Except for these two relatively nonsensical cases, the rest of the cases have no obvious clues. They may involve a cult, or they may be grievances and entanglements of underground evil forces. In short, they are quite complicated, and there is no clue for the time being.

But after going through several scenes, Val and Akatis reached an agreement with great difficulty, basically ruling out the possibility of a cult causing trouble. They did not find any traces of the ritual, nor did they notice the aftertaste of the sorcery. .

As for whether it was some kind of monster that was looking for above, it was hard to say for the time being. Although these sites were severely damaged by human beings, no traces of large-scale monster activities were found.

But the troublesome part is that even the upper echelons who arranged for them to come here don't know what kind of monster it is, how big it is, and what level of danger it is. They even have to rely on the investigation results here to guess the monster's general situation...

"This order is really inexplicable! Even more inexplicable than an old nun in her 50s!"

Val couldn't help but complain in a low voice.

Akatis didn't seem to hear it, and didn't reply for the time being, but squatted down at the exit of the sewer, and reached out to touch the edge of the manhole cover that had been knocked off.

You can see traces of metal burning and melting there...

And a little residual magical aftertaste...

"Divine magic? Why would someone use divine magic here?"

She muttered in a low voice, very puzzled.

Hunting the Saints: Chapter 254 252. Beyond a Priest

This morning, Luo Xia sat on the back of the brand-new rocking cat, rocking it while waiting for customers to come to make an appointment.

As the situation in the city gradually stabilized, the living finally took care of the dead, so in just one morning, his appointment was scheduled for three days later, and it was so full that he had to hang a "suspended appointment" sign outside the door. brand.

This kind of funeral is generally not postponed too far. Although the last time someone made an appointment for a funeral one month in advance, it was only one person after all.

And it just so happened that the time that person made an appointment happened to be the time when the Glory Sect invaded on a large scale. Rorschach had no choice but to dove, and he was already ready to refund the deposit and compensate for the loss, and even be ruined because of it.

But things have passed for so long, and that person didn't come to him and said, maybe it was because he was generous, or maybe he had encountered misfortune...

Rorschach looked up at the time again. It was almost dinner time, so he was going to bake potatoes.

Just at this time, he saw Agartis' high-end black car parked outside the door, and he was overjoyed, knowing that he didn't have to cook by himself today.

Then, he saw Akatis and Nido struggling to lift out a lump of black things from the trunk, walking towards him with great difficulty.

"Hey~Hey~"

"Ahem, didn't I say it before? As a mature pastor, you can't indulge in luxury and enjoyment."

Luo Xia hastily opened his mouth to persuade.

He thought that what the two of them brought was some kind of amazing and unique ingredient.

As a result, I got a closer look, only to find that it was actually a pile of sewer manhole covers?

This ingredient is really 'special'...

After Akatis and Nido put down the manhole cover, they said quickly, regardless of still panting:

"Huhu~ Luo Xia, please look at this... Huhu~"

"Huh? Is this manhole cover part of a cult?"

Luo Xia asked suspiciously, then squatted down on the edge of the manhole cover, took a closer look, and soon noticed the strange melting marks on the edge, and also noticed the aftertaste of the magic technique that still remained.

"Holy Flame?"

"And it's still a powerful holy flame, a bit like [Everything you see is a pure land]"

As a true expert in this field, he found the key information at a glance.

"Such a name?... What level of Holy Flame is it?"

Akatis then asked.

"Eighth order."

"scare?"

"But it's not exactly the same. There are still differences between the two holy flames. The one in front of you is obviously rougher, not delicate and refined."

Rorschach patiently explained.

It's a pity that Agartis can't fully understand it, nor can it understand the power of the Holy Flame. Why are there such words as 'exquisite' and 'exquisite'?

"I'm not sure how many ways to use the eighth-level holy flame. What I have mastered is only one of them..."

"But in any case, regardless of the differences in details, it must be quite troublesome to cast the eighth-level holy flame, and it requires a long period of deliberation and prayer."

"Furthermore, once this kind of unrefined eighth-level holy flame is released, it is likely to cause a wide range of indiscriminate damage and turn a large area into scorched earth. The marks on the manhole cover should be left in this way..."

Rorschach continued talking, and finally asked:

"So what's going on specifically? Is a sect fighting a cult?"

Rorschach's assessment of the matter was relatively optimistic, so he stood up unhurriedly, and motioned for Agatis to sit on the Tinker Cat next to him, and speak slowly.

He quite likes to see Akatis sitting on this...

Agatis had long been obedient to him, so he climbed up with hands and feet, one hand tightly hugging his chest, the other tightly holding onto the handrail, shaking slowly, and roughly explained the ins and outs to Rorschach.

"Yeah... that's probably how it is..."

Even though she had already covered it with her hands, Akatis was still shaking tremblingly, she had a burst of beauty, and finally finished the matter.

It's a pity that Luo Xia listened, and realized that things were different from what he expected, so he didn't have the heart to appreciate the beautiful scenery, but listened carefully and patiently.

"emmmmm... gray areas, murders, vicious means, unknown monsters, and weird eighth-level holy flames, but they didn't cause too much damage or injury?"

"This is so weird, is it some kind of 'uncanny'?"

Agatis shook his head, and while slowly getting off the Tinker Cat, as if afraid of falling, he explained:

"That bad girl with an evil heart... oh no, it was that Val who said no."

"That's even more strange..."

Rorschach rubbed his chin with his hand, muttering in a low voice:

"With the appearance of the eighth-level holy flame, it can basically rule out cultists and witches..."

"The identities of the deceased are different, their ages and occupations are different, apart from the fact that they all love to hang out in that kind of place, there is not much in common..."

"The murderer is cruel and vicious. There may be more than one murderer, and some kind of monster may be involved?"

After some thought, he shook his head helplessly.

"This situation is really confusing and far beyond the scope of a priest. Sorry, I'm afraid I can't give any useful advice."

"But you can try to ask the believer Deltina? She used to be an investigator, so she should be better at this kind of thing, right?"

"A believer? An investigator? Who?"

Akatis asked in surprise.

"Uh... I almost forgot, maybe you can't remember her..."

Luo Xia suddenly remembered the change in Deltina's body, which made people forget about herself, and even kissed herself in front of Nota without being afraid of Nota jumping.

Fortunately, Rorschach also had other options, so he reached out and groped in the storage bag at his waist, and finally took out a small card with a string of numbers printed on it.

This was left by Deltina last time, and she said that she could use this to contact her.

"Although, you can try this frequency band and contact her by telegram."
