Who hid my body?

Kelsey pushed the knight away impatiently and walked straight into Luggie's room.

In this era, there is no way to identify a person by their blood, but spells can be used to make the areas stained by blood visible (of course, within a certain period of time).

As soon as he entered the house, Kelsey saw this scene.

With the help of the light blue magic dust floating in the air, the bright red bloodstains were as conspicuous as if they were sprinkled on the white snow. It almost covered the entire floor of the room, as if all the blood in a person's body had been drained.

There is no doubt that with this amount of bleeding, one would not be able to survive without the assistance of specific spells or divine arts.

Kelsey narrowed his eyes and said softly, "It seems that we have found the real place where Father Luggie died."

He thought of Lu Ji's body again. His entire lower abdomen had rotted away, and there were more than ten knife wounds on the body. Those were obviously not normal injuries left in battle. The man who killed Lu Ji seemed to be venting his anger.

In any case, at least it can be confirmed that Luggie did die here, and not in the bar of "House of Pleasure".

Then there is only one last question left.

Who killed Luke?

In fact, the answer to this question is very obvious. After all, there are only two people living in this yard, and the other person's room is less than 50 meters away from this room.

Luggie was killed, but another person fifty meters away knew nothing about it. Is it possible?

...It's not impossible, but the Rhine Knights don't need to talk about evidence, especially about Visas' body parts.

But Kelse was somewhat resistant in his heart. He was resistant to the possible fact that Uru killed Luji. He didn't want to believe it from the bottom of his heart.

It wasn't because he couldn't accept that "his old friend would actually do such a heinous thing". After all, from the perspective of friendship alone, Luigi was more of a friend to Kelse than Ulu. But if Luigi was the one who betrayed Rhine, Kelse wouldn't find it hard to accept, and he even thought it wasn't surprising that this wily bastard did such a thing, but it was Ulu.

Because in Kelsey's eyes, Uru was just a dog that he and Luigi raised.

They picked him up in the winter twenty years ago, gave him food, taught him to read, made him a priest, and then...

This is like raising a dog, feeding the dog, clothing the dog, and letting the dog grow stronger and stronger, not so that the dog can be on an equal footing with oneself, but just so that the dog can continue to please oneself.

But now, the dog...bite back.

It killed its owner.

This made Kelsey, who was also the owner, extremely angry.

Therefore, Kelsey would rather believe that some cultists used special methods to kill Luji without Ulu's knowledge, rather than believe that Ulu, the dog, actually devoured his master.

Unfortunately, more evidence is pointing to the point that Kelsey is least willing to believe.

"Captain Knight! Blood was found outside the house!" Not long after, a knight reported from outside the house.

Kelsey immediately walked out and watched the knight pointing at a piece of dug soil.

Even before he got close, Kelsey could already smell a fishy odor from the soil.

"What's going on?" Kelsey asked.

"According to my speculation, Father Luigi's body should have been buried here for a while." The knight said, "But not for too long. It was dug out the next day."

Before Kelsey could say anything, another knight trotted over from Uru's house.

"Knight Commander!" The knight showed Kelse a priest's robe stained with blood, "This was found in Father Uru's room."

Kelsey narrowed his eyes slightly.

Now it matches, all of it matches.

Kelse was able to simulate everything that happened here in his mind.

Wulu killed Luji and buried his body. When he arrived, Luji's body was buried only fifty meters away from him!

Kelsey shuddered at the thought.

That guy, that dog, that toy that had been suppressed by him and Luigi for twenty years, could actually do such a thing!

How dare you do such a thing!

Kelsey's body trembled slightly, but not because of fear, but because of anger.

This is the anger of an owner who is threatened by his own dog.

"That guy." He said softly, "Where is he?"

Although it has not been revealed yet, the knights who are familiar with Kelce know that Kelce is on the verge of an explosion.

But they really didn't know where Uru had gone, so they didn't know how to answer Kelce.

But just at this moment, a knight came in pushing three servants.

"Knight Commander!" The knight pressed down the three trembling servants and said, "These three guys were the last to see Father Uru."

Kelsey's eyes swept across the faces of the three servants and nodded slightly.

"Very good." He said softly, "Tell me where he is."

……

Ulu stopped on a familiar yet unfamiliar dirt road.

He looked at the road leading out of the town with some hesitation.

The reason why this road is familiar is that he has walked it for many years.

But the reason why he said it was strange was that he had not been here for twenty years.

He has never been here since he started the fire himself.

He never thought that one day he would return to this path.

"What's wrong?" Bai Wei's voice sounded in Ulu's mind, "Is there any problem?"

"No, Lord Visas." Uru came back to his senses and shook his head, "No, there is no problem."

He took a deep breath, and the chilly wind scratched his nose, causing pain, just like... that year.

Then, he raised his legs and set foot on this road that used to be his way home.

Chapter 28 I'll help you bury your mother

Ever since Bai Wei had a brief "descent" in Uru's body during the battle with Roger the Bite last night, his resonance with Uru at the soul level has become even deeper.

This allowed Bai Wei to more clearly feel Ulu's inner fluctuations and emotional changes (one-way, of course). For example, now, after stepping onto the path leading out of the town, Bai Wei could clearly feel that Ulu had become very nervous, as if he was afraid of something.

So Bai Wei asked directly: "Are you nervous?"

Ulu was so frightened that he almost fell into the ditch: "Oh no, of course not... Why do you ask?"

Bai Wei replied calmly: "Because your heartbeat kept me awake."

Ulu subconsciously touched his chest.

Indeed, he himself did not realize that his heart was beating so fast, as if it might jump out at any time, which made him even more nervous: "I'm sorry to disturb you, Lord Visas, I will..."

He got stuck halfway through his speech.

The sound of the heartbeat disturbed Lord Visas. Was he going to dig out the heart or stop it?

Fortunately, Bai Wei didn't mean to embarrass him on this issue. He said "huh" and then asked, "Do you know where that little devil lives?"

"……Know."

Because he lives in the same place as .

Uru thought to himself.

It was also because of this that he was able to remember the kid's home address without even asking his name.

He originally didn't want to say these words, but facing Bai Wei, Wu Lu didn't dare to hide too much, so after a moment of silence, he added: "I used to live here too."

Don't ask any more questions. Don't ask any more questions.

Ulu prayed in his heart.

After Bai Wei said "Oh", he really didn't intend to ask any further questions.

This made Ulu feel a little relieved, but he suddenly felt a sense of... loneliness that he didn't know how to describe.

There are some things that he has buried in his heart for a long time, so long that even he has forgotten them. If he had not set foot on this road again, he probably would not have remembered them. But now he remembered them, walking on this road that has not changed in the past 20 years, he can see his own shadow with every step he takes, and hear his own voice with every step he takes.

The memories that had been out of date and rotten for so long stung him, and he didn't know whether he should continue to keep them sealed and not mention them to anyone, or take them out and talk about them with others.

In this tangle and chaos, he quickened his pace, wanting to complete Bai Wei's task quickly, throw the food to the little ghost, and then quickly leave this ghost place.

Bai Wei also guessed what Ulu was thinking, but he said nothing, as if he was asleep.

And Ulu almost jogged all the way to a dilapidated house with half of its roof collapsed.

When he got here, his steps slowed down involuntarily because this place was too familiar. Even though he hadn't been here for twenty years, it still felt like he had just left yesterday.

Nothing had changed in twenty years, the only difference being that the house he had set on fire was no longer there, presumably because it had been cleaned out.

He took a few deep breaths, trying to restore his expression to the dignity of a priest, and then walked forward and wanted to knock on the door. But he soon found that there was no need to knock at all, because the door was not closed, but only half-open... and the door lock was broken.

So Ulu pushed the door open directly, and immediately felt a foul smell coming towards him, which made him cough uncontrollably.

"Cough cough cough..."

Naturally, he coughed up blood again.

But before he could think about it, a surprised voice rang out: "Master Priest?"

Wulu raised his head and saw the little boy squatting in the dark room cooking porridge. Next to him was a little girl who was equally dirty. She tilted her head and looked at Wulu with a dull and blank look in her eyes.

Ulu frowned and was about to say something, but his peripheral vision caught a glimpse of the bed beside him, and his pupils narrowed slightly.

A lifeless middle-aged woman was lying on the bed, her body covered with a thin layer of grass.

Only then did Ulu remember what the little boy had told him during the day, that this guy's mother died today.

Now it lies there lifeless, just like... twenty years ago.

Damn it, this damn memory popped up again!

Ulu cursed in his heart. He just wanted to leave here. Every second he stayed here, he felt like he was being stabbed by countless needles.

At this time, the little boy also came up and asked timidly: "Father, what are you doing..."

Wulu took a deep breath and took out the blood-stained bag of food: "Is this yours?"

The little boy looked at the food in Ulu's hand in a daze.

Wulu said coldly: "Be smarter in the future. Don't show yourself outside if you have food. Do you want others to snatch you away?"

Originally, Ulu just wanted to say this and leave quickly, but he felt that his words were too "gentle", as if he was here to help this kid, which made him very uncomfortable, so he added: "What an idiot."

After saying that, he threw the food to the little boy.

But after the little boy took it, he was very confused: "But, this is not mine."

Wulu, who was about to leave, frowned after hearing what the little boy said: "This is not yours?"

"Yeah." The little boy pointed to the porridge that was being cooked, "That's mine. No one has taken it away from me."

Ulu's brows frowned even more. He looked at the little boy carefully and found that although the boy was a little dirty, he had no wounds on his body. According to the servants, they had done something shady.

Which is to say...it's definitely not.

It seems like I've come here in vain.

But Ulu didn't want to care about this. Since he was already here, he just said to the little boy, "Then take it," and turned to leave.

He couldn't stay in this shabby place for even a minute.

"But this food..."

Wulu stopped at the door, turned around, and looked at the little boy coldly: "What? You don't want it anymore after it gets stained with blood?"

“No, no, no.” The little boy shook his head repeatedly, “It’s just that this is not mine.”

"So what?"

"The person who lost it will be very sad." The little boy clutched the corner of his clothes anxiously, "If I take it, what will they do?"

silence.

There was a long silence.

It was as if time had stopped. No one moved. It was so quiet that one could hear each other's heartbeats.
