Chapter 106 Weird? (3.1k)
"Spiritualism?"
Yi Hua asked, having seen similar descriptions of effects in the information.
"That's right."
Sasan's cold voice sounded. After a moment, the pale halo dissipated, but the body did not show any change.
"No, the death time was too long and the soul has dissipated."
Sasan, who had planned to find out clues to the murderer through the remaining soul of the deceased, opened her lake-blue eyes, frowned, and sighed.
"Let me give it a try."
Seeing that the spiritualism was ineffective, a second-class young apprentice with a thin face and an extremely unfamiliar face walked up to the corpse and muttered silently to the corpse:
"Tracing the source of death."
This is a method involving The magic of death and time.
Generally, witchcraft related to time and space is relatively advanced, and most of it is witchcraft at the formal wizard level.
Although lower-level time and space witchcraft is not impossible, it is relatively rare and extremely valuable.
This apprentice can learn the "death tracing technique" involving time, which is obviously not unknown in the academy.
But at this time, everyone had no time to pay attention to this, and waited quietly for the other party to use the death retrospection technique.
With the successful execution of the Death Recall Technique, a blurry shadow appeared on the corresponding corpse. Judging from the face, it was the same as the face of the corpse.
At this time, the other party was standing on the spot, looking around with a vigilant expression. A metallic light flashed across his body, as if he had sensed some kind of crisis and activated his defensive magic.
But before he could make the next move, his body seemed to lose its vitality in an instant and fell limply to the ground.
The death recall spell is interrupted, which means the opponent has died.
Without stopping, the thin young man once again used the Death Recall Technique on the corpse of a middle-aged knight.
"According to the information, this knight should have been patrolling the streets in the north of the city during his lifetime." As
soon as the thin young man finished speaking, another blurry, stick-figure-like figure appeared in place.
The middle-aged knight kept walking, looking around to stay alert while moving forward.
It was indeed in line with the description of the patrol in the data, but this time, the middle-aged knight on patrol suddenly showed a strange look, but before he could react, he lost his life without knowing anything.
I thought that during the patrol, the middle-aged knight who was on high alert could detect the real murderer in advance and more or less reveal some information. Unexpectedly, he turned out to be even worse than the first-class apprentice before.
"Huh, it's a pity that I can only rewind the time of the deceased for about three seconds at present, and I can't continue to use it for the time being." The
death retrieval technique seemed to consume a lot of energy. The thin young man gasped for air, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said regretfully .
Although the previous Death Recall Technique revealed not much information, as wizard apprentices, everyone has much richer knowledge and experience than ordinary people.
From just a few seconds of backtracking, a lot of useful information has been deduced.
"According to the fragments shown in the death retrospective, the first-class apprentice noticed the danger and tried to struggle while he was alive, while the later knights noticed the strangeness but did not resist." "But without exception, neither of them made it clear
. defense target, which may mean that the two were not attacked from outside the murderer, and the cause of death may appear in the body of the two." There was a vague feeling of
familiarity in Yihua's heart, but he could not catch it immediately. Secret passage.
At the same time, Sashan, the vice-president of the Silver Star Society next to him, said:
"These apprentices and knights seemed to be killed instantly by some kind of force. This force was extremely hidden. The victims had almost no effective resistance, and the power It seems to be able to ignore the witchcraft shield and directly deprive the target of its life."
"Could it be a power related to life or soul?"
Sasan, who is good at soul witchcraft, made a conjecture based on his own experience.
Hearing Sasan's conjecture, Nok, a sworn enemy not far away, frowned and expressed his opinion.
"There are no wounds on these corpses. Judging from their strange death methods and the fact that the dead are basically concentrated in the north of the city, I think they may have suffered something strange." After hearing Nok's point of view, several apprentices agreed
. But Sassan felt something was wrong instinctively, and subconsciously retorted:
"The city of Camilla is still some distance away from Fangorn Forest. It has been peaceful all this time. Why did something strange suddenly appear in the city?" "
Who knows, maybe it is. Someone brought weirdness into the city, which caused the weirdness to spread from the city. The dead only appeared in the north of the city, which is consistent with the characteristics that weirdness only exists in specific areas." Bloody Hand Nok, the vice-president of the Freemasonry, flashed his eyes slightly and made a
seemingly Reasonable explanation.
After hearing Xue Hand's explanation, the people around him were unable to refute it.
After a long silence, seeing that no other conclusion could be drawn, the second-class apprentice assigned by City Lord Fabius to be responsible for the reporting work concluded: "Let's leave it like
this for the time being. I will tentatively classify this incident as a strange act, and I will The matter will be reported to the city lord and the investigation will continue."
After that, the second-class apprentice left the place directly, and the apprentice who used the death retrieval technique planned to investigate again after recovering his magic power.
Some of the remaining apprentices saw that they could not get any more information from the corpses at the scene, so they decided to investigate the place where the victim died, or they walked around to extract useful information from mortals.
Soon, all the apprentices present left the morgue one after another.
As for Bloody Hand, the vice-president of the Freemasonry who sent his apprentice to look for him before going to Youle City, he never looked at Yihua from the beginning to the end.
He seemed to be unfamiliar with Yihua, but he did not relax his vigilance because of this.
Yihua, who was still in the morgue, looked at the row of corpses in front of him, his expression gradually becoming serious.
Seeing that all the apprentices around him had left, Yihua, who was still staying in the morgue, endured the stench as the corpses gradually decomposed and began to produce, and touched the corpses in the room one by one with his hands.
He is not simply touching, but at the same time, he is transporting the life energy in the body into the corpse.
The life energy at the level of the Earth Knight was smoothly poured into the body and quickly moved among the limbs and bones of the body.
Under normal circumstances, after the death of an organism, the vitality in the body will gradually lose over time until it is completely dissipated.
Judging from the characteristics, there seems to be nothing abnormal about these corpses whose life energy has been completely dissipated.
But first, the time factor must be eliminated -
"Something's wrong"
Yihua frowned when he noticed something strange.
The corpses in front of them had been dead for less than half a day, and the life energy in their bodies had dissipated too quickly, so clean that not even a trace remained.
An ordinary person might still be able to explain it, but these are at least first-class apprentices and official knights!
Under normal circumstances, it will take at least several days for the life energy in the body to completely dissipate.
Previously, everyone initially concluded that the apprentices in front of them had encountered something strange.
But if it is really weird, the state of these corpses will definitely not be so "clean", and they will be more or less affected by the weird and produce some kind of mutation.
"We need to confirm more."
Afterwards, Yihua glanced at Noley's body, which was pale and wide-eyed, and stepped forward to repeat the previous operation.
After the infusion, life energy moved smoothly through Nolei's body. Yihua's eyes narrowed slightly when he felt that the body also had no life energy left.
To be on the safe side, Yi Hua then instilled life energy into all the corpses present one after another. After doing all this, Yi Hua's eyes were a little cold.
No matter how long they died, no matter how much life energy they had, there was no trace of life energy left in any of these corpses.
Recalling the previous revelation that the cause of death of these deceased came from within, Yihua murmured:
"Could it be that the life energy of these corpses did not escape after death, but was completely deprived of it while alive?" The
act of depriving life energy Generally, it will not cause obvious trauma to the body. If the force is strong enough, it can indeed make the target lose its life.
And unless you have life-based defense magic like life armor, there is a high probability that you will not be able to resist the flow of life energy.
This is also consistent with the fact that there are no wounds on these corpses. The apprentice tried to use defensive witchcraft to defend, but it was ineffective and lost his life.
This familiar situation reminded Yihua subconsciously of his experience in Baron Rafal.
The woman carrying the Blood Plague Bead used the power of the Blood Plague Bead to arbitrarily arrest residents in the Baron Rafal and extract life energy.
"If it is really caused by the Blood Plague Bead, then the idea proposed by Sasan is actually very close to the truth. At this time, the 'weird' theory proposed by Xue Hand will obviously mislead the direction of the investigation. Is it intentional or a coincidence?" Xue Hand is a person
. There does not seem to be anything out of the ordinary for the Vice-President of the Freemasonry to deliberately refute the conclusion of Sasan, the Vice-President of the Silver Star Society, his mortal enemy.
Knowing that there was something fishy about this matter, Yihua left the morgue and thought about it while walking back.
Because life energy cannot track down the murderer, and its use on corpses is of no value, no one had considered this before.
If Yihua had not been thoughtful and had encountered similar experiences before, he would not have been able to deduce through the life energy that these people were most likely not harmed by weirdness, but died from being deprived of life energy in an instant.
"This matter should be reported to Brother Fabius."
Yihua, who originally planned to look for Fabius directly, stopped while walking and realized something in his heart.
"In the final analysis, my current inference is just a guess. Merely depriving life energy of the injury method cannot rule out the possibility that these people were killed by strange things." "Let's go to the death scenes of these apprentices first and check them
. The area where the murderer has appeared may leave some clues."
In Yihua's view, the murderer might still commit crimes. With his Illuminati power in the north of the city, he also mobilized the Blackwater Gang and added With his own Earth Knight level strength, he might be able to find clues to the murderer.
Yihua soon appeared around a death scene in the north of the city.
Several members of the investigation team had already gathered around the place where the apprentice died. They were patrolling the area or checking the traces left behind by the deceased in an attempt to find useful clues.
