Two bodies are lying on the table of the forensic laboratory in the hospital in the central district.

One of them, with its head separated and its wound as neat as a mirror, was none other than Diego Wordsworth, the general manager of Wordsworth Trading Company, a subsidiary of the Sandtooth Group, and one of the gang leaders in Alexandria.

The other corpse behaved a little strangely.

He had no scars on his body, his internal organs intact, and only a pair of eyes, which were full of strange colors, like the brilliant nebulae of the old days.

A forensic autopsy revealed that the man had died of ordinary organ failure, similar to that of old age.

Undoubtedly, it is the work of the upgrader.

After investigation and analysis, it can be confirmed that he is a famous underground killer in the Pan-Western Sea, a fourth-order ascender who has committed many crimes, and is nicknamed [Ripper].

This vicious killer is now lying here quietly, as if he were asleep.

Manfred Danai was even more surprised than Sheriff Victor, who only knew about it through information.

His family is a large conglomerate, and he has a certain cooperation with MI5, and since he was a teenager, Manfred Danai has been able to obtain some secret information.

This naturally includes the Ripper.

He knew that this killer had created several terrible serial murders, murder cases, and he was especially fond of young girls, but it was not in the usual sense of love, but he liked to disembowel these girls and gnaw and kill them from the bottom of the body.

Even Manfred Dannay shuddered and terrorized when he saw the photos of the scene.

Moreover, this is a fourth-order ascender.

Manfred Dannay is now a second-order, the prototype of the hero, a well-known ranger in the old era of Pan Xihai, he knows very well that ordinary people like Sheriff Victor understand that the fourth order is only a little stronger than the second order, but he himself knows that the fourth-order ascender can quietly crush and kill him without much effort.

Not to mention the [Ripper], the ascended person who has committed a lot of crimes is not only powerful and strangely capable, but also intuitive and cautious, and it is impossible for him to die so easily.

And yet now.

[Ripper] just lay here, a third-order upgrader, a fourth-order upgrader, and was simply killed.

Manfred Danai even felt that the guy who killed these two people was more terrifying and terrifying than the murderer of the ABC serial murder case that is now in a lot of noise.

"The Faceless ......"

Manfred Dannay looked at the mask and felt a chill run down his spine.

He walked out of the lab, picked up his phone, and dialed a number.

"Hey, Wu."

Wait until the other party is connected, Manfred Danai said.

"Do you know of a killer over there called the Faceless?"

On the other end of the airwaves, hearing the informant's inquiry, McCrow Wu frowned slightly.

After getting off the [Orient Express], he escorted Professor Alfred Theon to the institute to hand over, and then returned to the branch for detailed inspection, paperwork, and he had not been on a mission for the past half a month, and now he heard his partner informant suddenly ask about a killer who had never heard the name before, and he instinctively sensed that something was wrong.

"What's wrong?"

Macro-Wu asked, and after listening to the other party's brief words, he gasped.

The Ripper is dead!?

The killer who has haunted MI5 for many years and has come and gone without a trace is dead?

For a moment, Macro-Wu even forgot to respond, and sat there with his phone in a daze.

After a few moments, he said a few words and hung up.

"The Faceless ......"

Makro Wu checked the database and found that there was no corresponding name of the perpetrator at all, which means that this could be a budding killer.

While it would be good for MI5 to be able to kill [The Ripper] and Diego Wordsworth, who knows if this "Faceless" could be even more terrifying than those two...... No, certainly a more feared killer than they are.

Macron Wu knew that many ascenders who were mixed in the path would try to challenge their already famous predecessors to quickly become famous, and the "Faceless One" was clearly one of them.

There are ABC serial killers in the past, and "Faceless One" in the back, and the recent Pan-Western Sea is really not very calm.

In addition to this, the abnormal behavior of some alchemy dolls also makes people feel wrong, and MI5 is also extremely busy in the face of the general election in May.

Thinking of this, Macro Wu immediately began to write a report, informing the upper echelons to investigate, and at the same time sent a message to Manfred Dannay, asking him to contact the detectives who had previously tracked down the ABC serial murders, and to gather some information about the "Faceless One" when he had time.

"Hmm...... At this time, it would be nice if there was that one. ”

McLeo Wu suddenly thought of the detective he had met on the Orient Express, Yasin Hercule.

According to the information obtained by Macro Wu, he skillfully solved the mystery of the ABC serial killing, which provided a huge boost to the progress of the case, although this has nothing to do with Macro Wu, but as the first operator of MI5 to discover him, Macro Wu is still a little proud.

The document was quickly sorted out and sent, and soon Macro Wu got a reply from above.

"Keep watching......

He looked out the window, and the overcast sky was gray and seemed to rain heavily.

...

...

The lead-gray sky was overcast with haze, and it seemed like heavy rain was about to fall at any moment, the smell of damp earth filled the air, and the atmosphere of something rotten lingered.

Several men in black suits carried the coffin, slowly lowered it into a rectangular earthen pit, and then shoveled the earth for burial.

As the moist soil covered the coffin little by little, Bai Ge felt an inexplicable emotion, the corners of his mouth outlined a soft smile, and he glanced at the tombstone.

Townsend Williams (1089-1155).

Plain, no epitaphs, no extras.

There is only peace of birth and death.

It was the funeral of Halleyson's previous owner, Mr. Williams.

With most of the relatives in other cities and the only nephew in the area already in jail, there was no one in the Williams family at Sunday's funeral.

Only Sheriff Victor, White Song, and Halleyson.

"Mr. Williams' house and other family property have been donated to the school city, and these assets will be used to support poor students, and it is said that Mr. Williams also received donations from others to complete his education, which can be regarded as a kind of reincarnation."

Sergeant Victor lit a cigarette and exhaled gray smoke.

"Tsk, it's raining, the weather in Alexandria is really bad during this time."

The tough guy sheriff lifted his hat.

The rain fell all at once, and the long cloak that Bai Ge was wearing was protective from the rain, so he opened his umbrella and walked over to the soft light blonde alchemy doll with wet hair to block the rain.

"I hope he can rest in peace."

Bai Ge said, he looked at the side face of this alchemy puppet, and there were certain emotions hidden in the beautiful lines, which was moving.

Although Halleyson has always said that her most primitive model does not have complex emotional functions, in Bai Ge's opinion, she is more like a human than those latest alchemy dolls.

Even more human-like than some humans.

"Helleson doesn't quite understand."

The alchemy puppet dressed in a black and white maid costume tilted its head.

"According to what Helleson knows, in this case, Helleson should present a sad emotion, however, limited to function, Helleson does not have a similar emotional module, and theoretically there will be no emotional fluctuations."

She seemed really, really, really confused.

However, when he saw Townsend's coffin buried in the dirt, Halleyson did feel a certain touch, and Halleyson speculated that it might be some kind of bug in the program that might need to be upgraded and repaired.

Hearing Helleyson's words, Bai Ge smiled.

"It's not a bug."

This is proof that the alchemy puppet has a heart.

After years of operation of the huge database, there was a little spark of inspiration generated by the gap in the loop.

"How are you feeling right now?"

Bai Ge asked again.

"Halleyson doesn't know."

The alchemy puppet with deep purple eyes became even more confused.

She turned her head to look at Bai Ge.

"Halleyson doesn't have the ability to shed tears, and if he had, he would probably shed tears for Townsend's death now."

She rarely used an uncertain tone.

It can be seen that the previous rain fell on the face of the alchemy puppet, deposited in the eye sockets, and drooped, forming two crystal and intermittent streams of water.

It's like crying.

Bai Ge was silent for a while, only stretched out his hand and gently touched the alchemy puppet's rain-soaked hair.

The rain was still falling, and Sheriff Victor approached Bai Ge and Halleyson with a black umbrella.

He glanced at Halleyson, didn't say anything, only stopped Bai Ge.

"Mr. Hercule, actually, I have a case here, and I would like to ask you for your reference."

Sergeant Victor said in a rather heavy tone.

"What case? Is there progress in the ABC serial homicide case? ”

Bai Ge covered himself and Halleyson with an umbrella and turned his head to ask.

"No, it's not, in fact, at noon yesterday, in the villa area of the East End, there was a person who was killed, his name was Diego Wordsworth, the general manager of the Wordsworth Trading Company, he was an ascender, and the person who killed him called himself the 'Faceless One', I wonder if Mr. Hercule are you interested in giving us an analysis?"

Sheriff Victor said rather mysteriously, and at the end, he glanced at Halleyson warily.

In his opinion, Yassen Hercule's flexible thinking and well-informed will definitely be able to provide some help in this murder case.

“？”

Hearing this, a question mark appeared in Bai Ge's heart.

Is this going to be classic I check my own rhythm?
