Act XXXVII
"Oops!"
Xia Nai's first reaction turned out to be that the clothes at home had not been taken back, and the short life in her vision was like a marquee, but the next moment, all this was replaced by the scene she saw.
Before the violent explosion reached the front of the three of them, they saw Lawson raise his hand, and the shock wave suddenly stopped, and the broken fragments and flying flesh were frozen in mid-air, clearly visible.
In the next moment, everything seemed to be reversed, the explosion was closed, and the kitchen was back to its original state, as if nothing had happened.
"It's ......"
Xia Nai could feel that the energy contained in the explosion just now was definitely not low, and it had a strong chaotic power, a small mage of her level couldn't resist it at all, even a mid-level mage might not be able to resist.
But Lawson can easily block it with one hand, and even restore it to its original state.
The principle and power of this invocation, Xia Nai can't know, she only knows that the strength of the man in front of her may have exceeded her expectations too much, and it is the weakness that limits Xia Nai's imagination.
"Corpse explosion? is a necromantic spell, and from the perspective of techniques, it is the category of ancient mages. ”
Rosen glanced at the corpse and spoke his judgment.
The corpse explosion is an extremely anti-human spell, not only because the material used is human corpses, but also because the corpse must be processed to a certain extent, and the process is extremely disgusting and very tolerable.
At the same time, because the corpse itself has a strong aura of death, which can cover up the traces of the spell, and at the same time, humans will instinctively have a sense of disgust for the corpse and will not look closely, so it is easy to take this kind of spell lightly and be succeeded by the other party.
Especially on the battlefield of the civil war of the ancient order civilization, the act of using the corpses of both enemies to create explosions can be said to be abhorrent, and the necromancer was persecuted from all sides because of this, and finally the necromancy was only circulated among a small number of people.
The smell they smelled before was actually the breath emanating from the corpse, but it was not simply the smell of decay, but more of the smell of the spell casting material inside, if this spell casting material was mixed with the human breath for a period of time, it would cause an explosion, the technique was very secretive, if it was not for contact with similar things, it was difficult to react in a short time.
In addition, the prisoner disposed of the corpse of Zavro's family into such a twisted and evil appearance, which makes people subconsciously avoid searching them and reduce their attention, which can be said to be the most conspicuous place is the least noticeable place.
"Corpse explosion?"
Xia Nai had only read about such spells in school books, and it was an introduction that was mentioned in the Defense Against the Dark Arts course that did not involve any details of spells, so naturally it was impossible to have experience in dealing with such situations.
"The other party knew that someone would come to investigate Zavro, so he set up this corpse explosion spell, preparing to directly wipe out the investigators, or at least it would also have a deterrent effect. ”
Rosen glanced at the three corpses that were no longer any threat, and said lightly.
"The plan was wonderful, but unfortunately it met us. ”
Of course, the prisoner would not have thought that it was Xia Nai who came to investigate, she could recall the situation when she came to Zavro's house before, and the prisoner naturally did not expect that Rosen, who was traveling with him, would have such strength and be able to block the attack of the corpse explosion unscathed.
He was probably a trap set up according to the strength of the general investigator of the Magic Association, and if you think about it according to conventional thinking, Xia Nai should indeed be dead.
The intervention of Lawson and Al Yin had not been expected a week before, and no one expected that these two people would suddenly appear, and of course it was impossible to prepare in advance.
"The other person is very familiar with the affairs of the Magic Association, and should be one of your colleagues, or at least one of the relevant members of the accompanying people. ”
Since there may have been more than one prisoner, Rosen made this inference.
"Miss Chana, who else came to Zavro's house last year?"
In the face of Lawson's question, Xia Nai was stunned, and then replied with some uncertainty.
"Last year, all the people from our department came, because it was Zavro's daughter's birthday, and there were about six or seven people. ”
The department she was talking about was the Investigation Department to which she belonged, and most of the mages in the department were often out on assignments, only Xia Nai was in charge of the emerging mobile terminal business, and it was all due to the fact that she was very skilled in using mobile terminals during the interview.
"The branch head and deputy minister also came, and the words of others seemed to be gone. ”
Xia Nai had a lot of entanglement in her heart at this time, on the one hand, she didn't want to believe that the companion she got along with day and night would be a cultist and a murderer of Zavro's family, on the other hand, the other party's ruthlessness did make Xia Nai feel very angry, and she wanted to find out and execute her immediately.
"Let's first inform your colleagues to come over and deal with the scene, and then go back and investigate the recent travel records of the visitors that day before thinking about the next steps. ”
Ain said, turning on the mobile terminal and recording the scene.
"That...... Thank you for what you just did. ”
After contacting her colleague, Xia Nai said to Lawson that she was referring to the attack on the corpse explosion just now.
"No thanks, but I have to remind you that the methods of cultists cannot be glimpsed with normal people's thinking, and if your strength is not strong, then it is best to be suspicious of any details around you. ”
Rosen replied that he could see that a rookie like Xia Nai clearly lacked experience in dealing with true cultists, which was why he warned her.
"Uh, I see. ”
Nodding, Xia Nai felt that the man in front of him was indeed a little unsympathetic, and he should have been humble just now.
Thinking about it this way, having such a beautiful girl by his side really made Xia Nai feel incomprehensible.
But after thinking about it, what Rosen said is indeed true, Xia Nai does lack experience in dealing with cultists, in short, he still deals with problems according to the habit of confronting normal criminals, so he will take the corpse lightly, after all, in normal cases, the corpse is a dead thing, and there will be no moths.
"But didn't you find something wrong with Zavro's body before?"
Xia Nai was a little puzzled again, Rosen should have smelled that smell when he came in, since he knew the knowledge of corpse explosion spells, why didn't he stop the explosion in advance, but had to wait until something happened before making a move?
"Of course I found out, but it was just a corpse explosion. ”
Rosen asked rhetorically.
"It won't hurt me anyway, so why should I care?"
