Invincible priest, out of the courtroom

But fortunately, all three of them have seen big scenes. Although they felt nervous and uncomfortable, they still investigated the incident according to the preliminary procedures.

They first turned on an engineering device similar to a camera, and recorded the surrounding scene while recording:

"Squad 263 received an alert from the city defense early warning system and went to the scene of the crime to investigate."

"I didn't encounter the enemy, and I didn't notice the aftertaste of the sorcery..."

"We have to figure out who's grave will be placed here? It's so remote, and a sculpture has been erected..."

"Let me check the tombstone."

A transcendent volunteered to speak, approached the edge of the tombstone, took out a flashlight from his pocket, and left a circle of light on the tombstone.

One of his two companions continued to record with an instrument, while the other held the matchlock gun at his waist and kept on guard.

The extraordinary man held his breath, and slowly scanned the tombstone with his flashlight.

But in the place where the name should be engraved normally, it is a bare piece, with nothing...

"no name?"

His heart couldn't help but twitched slightly, his nerves became more and more tense, and he continued to shine the flashlight on the lower area.

There should be the place where the epitaph is engraved.

"Huh? This is..."

Under the light of the flashlight, some fuzzy lines lit up on that area, like some kind of unrecognizable characters.

Hunting the Saints: Chapter 338 335. The Missing Brand

Finally, he found some things, which relieved the Transcendent, and quickly said to his companion:

"It seems that there is a lack of maintenance, the handwriting is already blurred, it should have been buried a long time ago, and no one came to visit him after that..."

"Huh? Wait..."

As he spoke, he boldly stretched out his hand to gently touch the tombstone.

"The stone used is very good, it should be quite expensive, and it doesn't seem old to me, at least not so long that even the engraved handwriting is weathered..."

"Have you examined that sculpture? Who can you relate to?"

"Huh? Are you listening?"

He tried to communicate with the two companions, but received no response.

Then he turned around, and the flashlight in his hand shone at his companion's position.

Then I saw my companion standing steadily, holding the camera device in his hand, continuing to record the investigation.

But no response.

Because his entire head is gone...

No blood, no screams, no movement.

The companion's head disappeared so quietly...

It's like he didn't have a head in the first place.

The extraordinary person suddenly felt as if his heart was being pinched in his hands, and after a 'buzz' sound in his mind, there was nothing left.

He quickly searched for the whereabouts of another companion with a flashlight.

Then he saw the remaining upper half of his body, suspended in the air, like a half-remained puppet, suspended in mid-air by invisible silk threads.

There was also no bleeding, no scattering of debris, and no sound.

The lower body of the companion just disappeared...

This extraordinary man opened his mouth wide, trying to make some noise, but he couldn't even retch.

His instinct made him lift up his leaden legs, trying to escape.

then……

He felt that someone patted his shoulder from behind...

........................

Early the next morning, Luo Xia was woken up by the biological clock on time, and reached out to rub the little milk cat curled up on the bed, waking it up too.

After getting up, it was very rare that he did not exercise or listen to the radio. He just let the little milk cat exercise by himself, then hurried out of the room and knocked on the door of Nota's room next door.

"Woo... Senior?"

Nota opened the door for him with half-closed eyes, as if she hadn't slept enough, her long blond hair was messily draped behind her, and she didn't even notice that the cartoon pajamas on her body showed a large area of ​​fragrant shoulders .

Luo Xia unceremoniously stretched out his hand and pinched her cheek to help her wake up, and asked again:

"Did you receive a call from the believer Weier or the recording officer last night?"

"Well... no, it will be gone after we go to bed..."

After Rorschach and Deltina separated yesterday, he went to the homes of several other patients with Weier, and sure enough, he found the face-shaped imprints on the chests of the relatives of the two patients.

But there are still two missing, and the curse medium of two patients could not be found.

Their symptoms didn't show too much aggressiveness, but they just looked weird...

One of them always felt that he was very cold, so he not only wrapped himself in heavy clothes, but also set himself on fire with a torch. He was burned to pieces, but he recovered quickly within a few hours, and then continued to burn himself...

The other felt thirsty all the time, drinking water non-stop, and his whole body swelled into a water ball, and he kept pouring water into his mouth.

Both of them were migrant workers from other places, and their relatives were not around. They were sent to San Gallo after colleagues and neighbors called the police.

But Rorschach, Weier, and other personnel sent by Deltina have investigated the colleagues and neighbors around them, but they haven't found that kind of brand.

And the other three who found the brand are all direct blood relatives of the patient...

It seems that the brand and the witch's curse attached to it must be transmitted through blood?

But the blood relatives of these two patients don't know where they are...

At that time, Rorschach thought of a very troublesome possibility:

There are millions of migrant workers and floating population in the City of Oracles. If they all target their relatives, there is no defense at all.

It is even more impossible for San Gallo Mental Hospital to accommodate patients of this order of magnitude...

And if left alone, there will be an unknown number of people in the city who will be cursed by the witch, and an unknown number of witches will be hatched.

Even if it is not done well, the whole city will become a breeding ground for witches...

This conjecture was quickly fulfilled. At dusk that day, Metis sent a telegram, saying that several patients with similar symptoms had been sent to the San Gallo Mental Hospital.

It is almost foreseeable that more and more patients like this will spread like a plague.

If you want to solve this problem, it seems that the only way is to activate the sealed item code-named 1-031, 【Santa Terrasia's Last Manuscript】

After Val reported the situation to the recording officer via telegram, Deltina was already making preparations for activating the sealed item.

If the number of patients at Metis continues to increase today, she will activate this [Santa Terrasia's Last Manuscript]

Luo Xia didn't raise any objection to her arrangement, but relayed to her through Weier that if he wanted to use this sealed item, he had to notify himself first.

In fact, he was quite opposed to this in his heart.

Although there is no reason, some indescribable intuition is reminding him that it is best not to use this thing...

"Senior, do you still want to go out with Miss Weier today? How about I come to help?"

While having breakfast, Nota offered to propose again.

Luo Xia shook her head, then reached out and rubbed her head.

"No need, your task is to stick to the church and not allow any mistakes..."

"If you encounter any danger, remember to run to the basement, it's safe there."

Nota opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but Rorschach forcibly interrupted:

"Change your clothes in a while, and give me another personal item of yours, and I will perform another [consecration]."

Nota was stunned for a moment, and then noticed that Luo Xia was actually wearing that luxurious sect dress today, with a golden waistcoat.

Then she took out a pendant from her chest and handed it to Rorschach.

There is a photo of a cute little girl, a handsome man, and a beautiful girl with a gentle and happy face.

This kind of family portrait pendant is a traditional custom that has always existed in the Northland.

Rorschach once wanted to fix one for himself.

I just haven't figured out what kind of photo to put in it?

After receiving the pendant from Nota, Rorschach went to the basement again, and came to the figure display case.

For this ceremony, he will [consecrate] two items.

Hunting the Saints: Chapter 339 336. Come at the Right Time

Rorschach rummaged through the figurine cabinet for a while, and finally took out a figurine with the appearance of a girl from it. It was posing in a posture of bowing its head and writing, and it looked vivid and lifelike.

This was made by the previous Cursed Witch...

It was the second witch who was sent to Rorschach. At that time, the body was a book, or a photo album, with a mouth on the cover and eyes on the back cover. It would turn itself over and emit stench and raving non-stop. , has nothing to do with the appearance shown on the figure.

Maybe that's what it used to be?Later, as it grows, it becomes a complete monster.

The same is true for the previous Calamity Witch. The main body has become an indescribable monster in the shape of a tree root, but what was burned out in the end was a "girl praying" image.

As for the previous Witch of Pain, what was burned was a disabled young man without arms and legs; what the Witch of Plague burned was a bunch of plants that looked like piranhas.

In short, the witch species is like this, a bit like the pocket beast in Rorschach's memory, it can evolve...

It can evolve from the earliest childhood, that is, a cursed creature, to the growth stage, that is, an ordinary witch, and then evolve into a full body, that is, a real witch.

Fortunately, they don't know about super-evolution, mega and giantization...

After Luo Xia chose the figure, when he turned around, he saw Karanna standing behind him with Lorexy, holding a cartoon shovel in one hand, and a paintbrush in the other, all staring at Own.

"Huh? What's wrong?"

Rorschach asked a little puzzled.

"Rorschach..."

Lorexy spoke in a soft voice, stepped forward with her slender feet, and approached him, showing concern all over her face, and said in particular:

"be careful……"

Luo Xia rubbed her head smoothly, and asked:

"Uh... what exactly are you referring to?"

Lorexy shook her head lightly, and replied with some helplessness:

"I can't tell...but anyway, be careful."

She is still the same as before, the so-called 'wise man' way of speaking.

But when the evil god came last time, she also made a similar reminder, so even if she couldn't explain clearly, it still made Rorschach very concerned, so she nodded and replied seriously:

"Well, I see, I will pay attention."

As for Karanna, she was still not very good at talking, she just looked at Rorschach and turned her head to look at the top of the handicraft cabinet.

Suspended there was a glove, or gauntlet, made by her own hands. The texture looked like some kind of bone structure, and there was a sickle-shaped imprint on the back of the hand.

It took her a long time to knead this gauntlet from the remains of the evil god, and then gave it to Rorschach.

But Luo Xia felt that this thing was very mysterious. Not only did he dare not wear it, but he also dared not put it in a storage bag, so he kept throwing it in the display cabinet. Although he didn't forget it, he never thought of using it. .

This thing, Rorschach still thinks it's a bit evil...

But now Karanna was reminding with her eyes, and Rorschach had no choice but to go back to the display cabinet and carefully took off the gauntlet.

I don't know if it's because it's been placed in the basement for a while, or because of the growth of its own strength and experience. In short, when Luo Xia touched this thing again, the impression it gave him was not as weird and evil as before. up.

The gauntlets gave him a very 'calm' feeling, but still very mysterious...

I definitely dare not put it on directly, but at least it can be stored in a storage bag and taken with me at any time.
