"Yellow warning for heavy rain, please pay attention to safety ......"

A hazy and gloomy curtain of rain shrouded the road ahead and the buildings looming in the jungle, and the warning of heavy rain in the police car was sounding for the second time.

The sound of the rain can still be heard clearly even through the car window.

Zhu Jue pulled the raincoat he had just bought more like a widened black leather windbreaker, unbuttoned the two buttons on his chest, and tried to hide his backpack in front of him, so that the wind chimes could also have a place to hide from the rain.

Oh~

The wind chimes poked his head out of the backpack with a call, and then stretched out from Zhu Jue's neckline, his plush forehead was against his chin, probably because he was not very suitable for this posture, the wind chimes kept turning his head, and the two ears with gray hair at the tips kept sweeping Zhu Jue's cheeks, and the dark golden eyes looked out of the window for a while, and then stared at Olivia next to him, who was also wearing a raincoat.

Burt, 68, male, courier in the town of Hossey...... There is no noteworthy information in the report given by the police in Hesai Town, and it is all about an ordinary elderly man. ”

Olivia handed Zhu Jue a copy of the paper, and the cover was stamped with the seal of the Sheasey Town Police Department.

The census does not stop in any era, and the same is true in the town of Hossey, where the history of the deceased is recorded and regularly updated, and as long as the identity is confirmed, some basic information about him can be known immediately.

"I remember you told me on the way here that the cause of his death was the decay of flesh that covered his body, what could have caused this?"

Zhu Jue took the information and just glanced at it and stopped looking at it, but turned to other things.

It is important to know that the sources recorded by the police department are often based on the oral statements of the parties, which is simply what Boult says and what they record, after all, the police department in the town of Hossey has limited manpower, and detailed investigations do not exist.

"The people in the affiliation said that there was some kind of special toxin inside the body, which made the body of the deceased stiff and unable to tolerate the sun, otherwise it would only take a few hours for the victim's body to turn into a puddle of 'mud'. ”

Olivia flipped through the information sent by the autopsy department in the audio-visual stick, adjusted the mental protector placed on her legs with her free hands, and continued,

"No similar victims have been found yet, so the association believes that this may be a new source of spiritual pollution. ”

"Monster...... We've got a monster here?"

In such a closed environment, aside from the sound of rain outside, the conversation between the two was not deliberately concealed, and the policeman sitting in the front row could naturally hear it, and his tone was a little panicked.

"It's not confirmed yet, it's classified, so please don't reveal what we're talking to anyone else. ”

Although this is not something to hide, Olivia still wants to avoid causing a riot as much as possible, or if it can be later.

"We've never had a spiritual pollution source monster here, I wonder if you're mistaken, it's something else...... Even if there is a monster, Boult is a courier, what is the monster doing when it attacks him......"

The policeman who was driving did not stop asking, talking to himself intermittently, and even slowed down a little.

"Anything else strange lately?"

Olivia asked, noticing the meaning of his words.

"Yes, this has never happened to us before, until that strange painter came to our town, and there were a lot of strange things. ”

"Which painter?"

"The man who painted the painting next to the corpse, he came to the town of Hesai two months ago, saying that he wanted to complete a beautiful painting here and win an award, and he bought a very remote hut, and stayed in it all day and did not come out to meet people, and sometimes there were parties in the town, but he did not participate, saying that he wanted to complete his creation...... It's not just me who says that, you can actually ask the people who live around the painter, and they know it. ”

Maybe they didn't want Zhu Jue and Olivia to think that he was a person who said bad things behind his back, and the police made a special addition.

"Do you have control over the painter now?"

The content of the realistic painting of the corpse is too detailed, and it is obviously impossible to draw it in a short period of time, and no one can have that level of speed, which means that the painter is likely to be the first person to discover the corpse and deliberately conceal this fact.

Who would do that in a normal person?

In Olivia's opinion, the painter was the most likely murderer, so she notified the police in Hessey through the archaeological association as soon as she became aware of the problem, but the reply was that the painter was missing.

Therefore, she could only ask the Hesai town police to arrest the painter as soon as possible, pending her interrogation.

"We are sorry about the arrest of the painter, the body and the painting were all in the swamp, and the direction of our investigation was not determined at the beginning of the investigation...... The town of Hosai is surrounded by dense forests and swamps, and because of the recent rainy season, there is often a thick fog late at night and early in the morning, and by the time we found out about the problem and wanted to arrest the man, he had already run away and had not been found yet. ”

Hesai Town is not like Dawn City or other towns, the technology here is still stuck in the older era, and because of the special environment, even the cameras that are common at intersections are not popular, let alone the patrol cameras that are common in the city.

"It seems that the murderer is already eyebrows?"

Zhu Jue looked at Olivia in some surprise, the fact that the painter absconded in fear of crime was in front of them, and it seemed that there was nothing to say.

"Our goal is not only to find the murderer, but also to find out what caused the special changes in the corpse, this is the difference between us and the Monster Countermeasures Bureau, the artist's information is also backed up in the Hesai Town Police Department, since he stayed in this town, he must have left traces, it is impossible to clear it so quickly. ”

The Archaeological Society is not concerned with someone dying, but with who caused it and why it happened.

In other words, if there are ghouls, Baiaki and other monsters that have long been recorded as sources of spiritual pollution in Hesai Town, the Archaeological Association will not accept these cases at all, and even if the other party calls the Archaeological Association for help, the result will still be transferred to the Monster Countermeasures Bureau.

Because the original intention of the Archaeological Association to establish the Field Support Department was not to compete with the Monster Countermeasures Bureau for those thankless jobs, but to focus on finding all kinds of events that might involve cults, mysterious ruins, and monsters with special spiritual pollution sources, otherwise Zhu Jue would not have agreed to Olivia joining the Archaeological Association.

"Here we are. ”

The town of Hesai is not very large, and it is only a dozen minutes drive from the pier to this side.

Pushing open the door, a gust of wind and rain came in front of me.

Zhu Jue subconsciously raised his hand in front of him to prevent the rain from entering his eyes, and at the same time took a step forward to help Olivia behind her, so that she could get out of the car smoothly.

When he put his hand down, his eyes immediately fell on the three-story building in front of him.

To be exact, I was attracted by a family standing in the doorway.

A couple stood in front of the door, and to their right was an old woman in a wheelchair with her legs wrapped in a blanket, while in front of the three stood two young boys.

Behind them was the living room on the first floor of the house, where there was no light, just deep darkness, and a curtain of rain between the police car and them.

The dim sky made Zhu Jue unable to see the faces of those people clearly, and even their bodies were a little blurred and distorted under the cover of the rain, which made the former a little uncomfortable, and subconsciously frowned, and waited until Olivia raised his hand behind him and pressed his back before moving forward.

"What's wrong?"

Olivia pressed down the hood of her raincoat and tightened the cord on her neckline to prevent the rain from drifting in, noticing that Zhu Jue's movements were a little slow, and she couldn't help but ask.

"Nothing, it should be an illusion. ”

The recent continuous reading of "The Book of Dekean" has made Zhu Jue's spirit a little trance, and he looks at everything like an indescribable existence, and this situation has not attracted much attention from him at the moment.
