Chapter 518: The True Culprit of Contagion
The detection vision of detecting the necromancer was stimulated in Zhao Xu's eyes, faintly glowing.
It's just that he started with the drunkard at the very edge of the corner, and all the way to the housekeeper of the hotel, everywhere he looked, it was the same.
Nothing.
There are no undead, or the other party has blocked detection spells.
Or, it wasn't a vampire in the first place.
"Get out of the way!" Suddenly, a shouting came from the gate.
The crowd in the corridor of the hotel, which was still a little crowded, was pushed away by a group of newly arrived patrol guards, led by a tall and thin warrior.
He was still yawning, and when he saw the corpse that had fallen to the ground, his expression became serious, and he turned his head directly and asked, "Have you notified the coroner?" ā
"It's almost there." The housekeeper of the inn said nervously.
For them, it's okay if the brawl is dead, the tavern grudge and tavern are over, and naturally no one will go out of their way to find the guards.
But this accidental death means that they have to spend a lot of money on the hotel.
And a few players who rarely joined in the excitement in the tavern downstairs didn't expect that such a murder case would break out in the hotel above, and they also rushed over like a bustle, each using the reasoning knowledge of the earth to analyze the case.
It's just that the patrol leader didn't pay attention to the noise of the players, he just calmly glanced at the dozens of people who came over to join in the fun, silently remembered the figures of everyone in his heart, and wondered if there were any suspicious objects.
During this period, several ruffians who had eaten and drank with each other also held beer glasses, and the people who walked over to the patrol joined in the fun, and inquired about the news from their side by the way.
Vivian stood silently behind Zhao Xu at this time, suppressing the urge to use "Detect Evil" in her body.
As for the white dragon Cyrus, he was bored looking at the scene in front of him.
To put it mildly, for it, death was a commonplace thing in the Ice Fields Mountains.
The last person who died made such a big move, and he was able to rush to the funeral every day.
"You human rhythms, it's really a big fuss every day." Cyrus complained to Zhao Xu.
Truth be told, the two of them had just destroyed the corpse of a vampire, and it had some of a twist in its mind as it watched a group of people fuss about a human corpse.
"You've got to look at the location, you're in a human town right now." Zhao Xu said, "If you were in our Earth World, it would only be more exaggerated. ā
When Zhao Xu explained this difference to Bai Long, his mind suddenly turned sharply, and his gaze gradually became sharper.
It's not necessarily just vampires who can leave a bloody hole in the neck.
At this time, the coroner also broke away from the originally warm bed in the middle of the night on this snowy day and reluctantly arrived at the scene.
The crowd did not disperse, and the patrol team gathered the body after probing the scene.
"Look at the place where the body just fell, look at the scratches on the ground, one of them is not a natural trace, it must have been intentional before the deceased died."
A rare player who didn't go offline in the middle of the night but stayed at the hotel commented.
"Your premise is that they know each other." Another retorted on the spot.
In an instant, the opinions of the three or four people who came together complied with each other, "No, if you don't know you, you can depict the characteristics of the murderer." ā
"You're awesome, you can show me what human characteristics can come out with a scratch."
"Maybe it's straight hair."
"You're messing around."
The coroner listened to the arguments of several players who were standing close and still bickering, constantly affecting his new life, and he immediately couldn't help but be annoyed, "Be quiet. ā
This stopped the argument of several people.
He then examined the wound a few more times before nodding his head and concluding, "I guess, it'sā"
"Mouse." Suddenly, a half-orc in the corner said loudly.
The coroner stared at the orc carefully before nodding, "That's right, it's a wound from a rat's teeth." ā
"What?"
"Just kidding."
"How is that possible?"
The crowd made noises in disbelief.
Although the deceased who fell to the ground at this time did not look like the physique of a strong man, his basic physique was also above average, so how could he be bitten by a mouse and die.
It was a plague, and it was too fast.
"No, where can a mouse bite such a widely spaced tooth mark?" The Ranger player who had initially participated in the truth retorted, as he walked over to the dead man and looked at the wound again.
The relatives of the deceased had just fainted and were not yet awake.
The orc who had just made his assertion laughed on the spot, and with his loud voice, it almost shook the doors and windows.
Half-orcs are one of the seven races that players can choose from.
Their numbers are only below the three popular races of humans, elves, and dwarves, and above halflings, half-elves, and gnomes.
Orcs are essentially the offspring of the union of humans and orcs, and in addition to the orc tribe, the human community will accept the orcs.
However, this half-orc's chain mail with a giant axe and a fighter tattoo on his chest is clearly a "barbarian" himself.
It was his identity that made the drunkards present dare not scold him rashly.
Otherwise, the primitive features of the orcs themselves with gray complexion, slanted foreheads, protruding jaws, exposed teeth, and coarse body hair are more or less rejected by civilized society.
At this moment, all eyes in the tavern fell on the orc barbarian, waiting for his answer.
"Who's at this time?"
"I don't know, I guess it's foreign."
"It should be a player too. A half-orc who has been promoted to a barbarian does not know how to analyze rationally. The player in the corner commented.
After all, the nicknames of the barbarian profession are "berserker" and "fighter", not the "wise" of the "mage" profession.
At this point, when the barbarian player realized that everyone was attracted to him, he looked at the corpse that had fallen to the ground and was gradually becoming cold, and said, "Beast man, you can do this." ā
"Bestials?"
At this time, everyone in the corridor had a creepy feeling.
The oldest legend about beasts is the "werewolf".
Bestials are humanoids or giant human creatures that can transform into animals, and they are not limited to humans.
"It's a beast." Cyrus also sighed at this time.
They all had preconceived notions.
Without examining the wound closely, they were all directed to the nearest vampire.
However, it was a little dazed at this time, "Beast man, is it powerful?" ā
Zhao Xu shook his head, "In animal form, the beast human is like a stronger animal, and that's it. ā
"What are the generals?" Cyrus had never been in contact with beasts on the ice field before, so he was somewhat curious.
"Bear people, tiger people, werewolves, and wild boar people, including the rat people mentioned by the other party just now." Zhao Xu explained.
"It sounds like it's all a bunch of garbage." The white dragon Cyrus couldn't help but puff out a light smoke from his two nostrils and said, "Then what are they afraid of?" It's not like the beasts will still be able to attack the city. ā
Even the most powerful monsters will like the sense of security of a human town, and it is here, so you don't have to be wary of the cold arrows that may be shot around you at any time.
"That's what I said in theory." Zhao Xu corrected, "But this"
"The key is that after being attacked by bestials, it is possible to be infected with 'bestiality', and then become the same kind of bestials, and at the same time have the ability to spread."
"Even the descendants will only be beasts, that is, born beasts." Zhao Xu said, "This is a curse that will last forever. ā
"I see." White Dragon Cyrus also sighed.
In this way, looking at vampires with a lot of shortcomings, it is better.
If it's a "vampire", then maybe there will be an ignorant girl sticking it. But if you change to a beast man, especially a more obscene rat man, you will definitely be extremely disgusted and rejected, afraid of being infected by it.
At this moment, the relatives of the deceased slowly woke up, she looked at her husband, who was already cold and stiff, and cried on the spot: "You are dead, what should we do?" ā
"You promised me, and our child has just been born...... What do you want me to do? ā
For a while, the extremely desolate voice of the deceased's wife penetrated the area, making the eyes of several female players present red, and they fumbled for their wallets.
"Mr. Barbarian, do you have a way to find the murderer and avenge the dead?" Suddenly, in the crowd of people in the audience, there was a question.
And at this time, the barbarian standing on the stage couldn't help but show an embarrassed look.
In fact, he just came up to throw stones to ask for directions, and when he encountered a problem that he just knew how to know, he just showed his hand, and brushed the residents' favorability by the way.
As for finding the real murderer and solving the case, it's not something he's good at.
"Stupid."
At this time, the female druid player, who is also a member of Pale Dawn, Red Maple Leaf, sneered secretly.
In her opinion, it is pointless for her peers to go up and analyze the conclusions that others are about to come to without really solving the problem.
She also glanced at the crowd and secretly thought about how to solve it.
"President, I want to avenge this poor widow." At this point, Vivien's voice became cold and murderous.
The "Holy Avenger" in her hand suddenly flashed again, shaking the corridor hall suddenly.
"It's not impossible." Suddenly, the barbarian on the stage shouted angrily, "Beasts have damage reduction abilities, and can only be broken by silver-plated weapons. If everyone is willing to accept it, take a knife and cut a wound on everyone's palm, and whoever heals immediately will be it. ā
"Where did this Hanhan player come from?"
This is the white dragon almost scolded.
They're a bunch of powerful creatures, who don't have a damage reduction ability attached to them.
When Zhao Xu heard this bad idea, he couldn't help but shake his head with a smile.
Both Cyrus and Viviana have damage reduction.
He didn't, the key is that even if he gives up defense, the other party is unlikely to penetrate his body, which adds up to 12 levels of armor shield defense (magic robe + shield technique).
Even if it is successfully cut, it depends on whether it is a magic weapon, if not, the damage will not even qualify for passing through his star cloak.
And seeing Zhao Xu silently walk to the front desk, everyone's eyes suddenly fell on him.
"Which onion is this?"
"I don't know, if you are a mage in a robe, right?"
"I guess it's also a player, but as far as the player's secret three-legged cat spell is concerned, can it be used?"
