Chapter 198: The "Monster" Path
Caroline looked at the handsome man sitting opposite her, the corners of her mouth rose slightly, and a trace of poison-like charm bloomed in this innocence, and said with a slight smile:
"Naturally, it was a case that you 'punisher' had just taken over, but he seemed to have a different opinion on the outcome of that case, so he wrote to ask me to help investigate. ”
Wardhouse's eyes were slightly fixed, he personally reviewed the cases reported by the five "Punisher" teams in Federenburg, but he didn't expect that there would be a mistake under his nose.
Since Chris has the courage to choose Caroline from the "Gates of Hades", it shows that this case is not simple.
"The most recent case, but the case of the Kiplings, who they closed the other day, died one after another?" asked Waldhouse, "and the murderer, Cummins, has been sent to the church prison, is there anything else hidden in this case?"
The most recent case of the fifth "punisher" is the case of "Megan's deer" and the murder of a family of five and four, the latter of which Chris is involved in, so Wardhouse quickly guessed this.
Caroline stroked the blonde hair on her ears slightly, and it was this kind of inadvertent small action that seemed to cause a lot of trouble to the single man opposite.
But Caroline, as if she didn't know her charm, looked at Wardhouse with a smile and said:
"Chris wrote to me that he suspected that Cummins' 5-year-old cousin Erica might have masterminded the case, including the evil spirit in Cummins' body, which was also designed by Erica. Because Chris suspects that Erica should be born with the extraordinary trait of a certain pathway, that is, Erica was born half of Sequence 9. ”
"Born extraordinary?" Wardhouse muttered, thoughtful.
Caroline nodded:
"Yes, and she's now joined the Gates of Hades, which I just learned. Because just now, I saw Sally go to her bedroom. After seeing her, Erica also looked excited and called her teacher. Hehe, my sister, who is extremely strong in strength and ambition, will not accept an ordinary little girl as a student for nothing. ”
Is the strength and ambition extremely strong? Wardhouse's mind instantly understood.
The last time Chris invited Caroline, they left the "Golden Tulip" together and walked together in a nearby street.
In the middle, Waldhouse asked a few questions, similar to what Zack asked, so Wardhouse also knew that her biological sister Sally, who was also an extraordinary person in the "witch" path, and was not under Caroline now.
Then Caroline confessed that Sally was one of the leaders chosen by the "Gates of Hades" in Federenburg to take over all the affairs of the organization in the city.
Therefore, it is very likely that Sally is a "disaster witch", after all, it is impossible for the organization to let a Sequence 5 witch stay here, which is really a little bit of a big use.
Therefore, Sally is not only the lady of the city lord, but also has a certain influence in the circle of noblewomen, and secretly leads this evil hidden organization.
How could such a person take a random little girl as a student, even though Erica was a natural Sequence 9.
"So you suspect Erica's sequence path is special?" Wardhouse asked, looking up a little serious.
In the transcendent world, there are several special sequence paths recognized by the extraordinary, they are extremely mysterious and scarce, such as the "gambler" path.
Corresponding to the quantity, the extraordinary ability of this sequential pathway, although not very powerful, is even more secretive.
"Yes, I suspect it's the rarer sequential pathways. Caroline's blue eyes as charming as stars showed affirmation, with an inexplicable smug look in her expression, and smiled, "I didn't expect that little Chris's ability is still quite strong, and it seems that he has the talent to be a police officer than most members of your church." ”
Looking at Caroline's extremely delicate face, Wardhouse suppressed his inner desires and primitive impulses, and his expression gradually returned to his usual smile, and said:
"I didn't expect you to care so much about our 'punishers', why, why don't you join our church too?"
Caroline stood up, walked gracefully to Wardhouse, who was sitting on the sofa, stretched her slender fingers to the man's handsome chin, raised it slightly, and smiled:
"Aren't you afraid that I'll make those extraordinary squads of yours uneasy and end up betraying the church? ”
As she spoke, a man-tall mirror appeared behind Caroline, sparkling on it.
Caroline waved her hand, smiled and took a few steps back before disappearing past the mirror.
Wardhouse watched Caroline retreat step by step, and finally disappeared into the magic mirror, then subconsciously swallowed his saliva, and then returned to the bedroom with a complicated expression.
The next morning, because it was a Sunday, all the members of the 5th "Punisher" team, after breakfast, rode together in a horse-drawn carriage to the Church of the God of Steam and Machines on Farlan Street to attend the service.
After that, the captain James went to the "Golden Tulip" to report to the team.
After listening to James's report, Wardhouse raised his head slightly and said:
"Call Chris in the door, I have something to say to him alone. ”
James touched his head, and although he didn't know why Wardhouse was meeting Chris alone, he walked out of the office and spoke to Chris of the seven.
This...... Chris readily agreed on his face, but thought in his heart, it's over, the last time I saw him so embarrassed, is the team finally going to put on my little shoes?
Chris walked into Wardhouse's money-smelling office tremblingly, smiled insincerely, and asked:
"Good morning, do you have anything to tell me?"
When Wardhouse saw Chris come in, a rather "evil" smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he stared at him quietly, and only after staring at Chris a little hairy did he say:
"You kid actually asked Caroline to do things for you, it seems that you have a lot of ability. ”
After vaguely hearing the slightest sour taste in the words of the corps, Chris hurriedly replied:
"No, no, I just suspect that there is a person who is born extraordinary, but there is no basis for this, so I can only ask the powerful lady Caroline. ”
"You're talking about Erica from the Kiplin murders. Wardhouse looked at Chris with a playful look, "She came to me last night, let me inform you that this matter has been clarified." ”
Last night's late-night tryst, Chris's mind immediately made up a big drama:
A stunning beauty has a late-night tryst with a handsome gentleman, but what she is talking about is indeed something that another man asks......
Chris looked at the eyes of the team, and suddenly felt a cold wind on his spine, sweating, and a little cold.
Chris was thinking crankily in his heart, but he hurriedly smiled on his face:
"It turns out that Caroline ...... My sister has already found out, and I know that it is right to ask her. ”
Wardhouse was no longer teasing Chris, the expression on his face gradually became serious, and he said:
"As you guessed, Erica is indeed an extraordinary person, and she is also a student of Sally, you should already know that Sally is a 'Calamity Witch', and she is also the ruler of the 'Gate of Hades' in Federenburg, so Erica's sequence path should be somewhat special. ”
Sure enough, Chris said in his heart, he knew that Sally was a "witch" before, but he didn't know her specific sequence level, although he also guessed that she might be a "disaster witch", but he didn't expect it to be.
When she and Caroline went to "Golden Tulip" before, she said that "Witch of Calamity" could not be all over the streets, and "witches" of this level should be extremely rare. Then, if the real culprit behind the small town of Solari is not Caroline, it is very likely that Sally.
And she is also the murderer of Ryan, it seems that she and this city lord's wife really have a lot of hatred.
Thinking of Erica's special abilities, Chris looked at Wardhouse and said:
Jeffrey said that this is because Lammins has long had a strong grudge and malice towards the world and the people around him, and in a special state, he may involuntarily attract all the scattered fragments of resentful spirits around him, and finally form the existence of that evil spirit.
But it's a long-term process, and it requires a lot of resentment, which Cummins, who is only six years old, doesn't seem to be able to do. That's why I'm guessing that Erica should have the extraordinary ability to make evil spirits born quickly. ”
Chris mixed Jeffrey's words with the words of another soul in his body, after all, this is completely convincing, how he guessed Erica's anomaly.
After listening to Chris's words, Wardhouse seemed to be lost in thought, and after two minutes before he spoke:
"If the evil spirit in Cummins' body is really related to Erica, then her extraordinary path should be called 'Monster', an extremely rare sequence pathway. ”
What kind of path is this? Chris immediately recalled the 16 extraordinary paths that the teacher had mentioned earlier, and there didn't seem to be this one in them.
"Why are these sequential pathways so rare?" asked Chris curiously.
Wardhouse's fingers tapped lightly on the table and explained:
"From the secret files I saw in the church, they all seem to be born awakened. As far as I know of the 20 sequence paths, there are a few very special paths that they have not taken any potions when they step into sequence 9, which means that they are all inherently extraordinary. ”
