At 11:58 p.m. on April 27, inside the Demon Soul Imperial Capital

Chris: "Safe. ”

Max: "The scene has been cleaned up, and we can only roughly judge what happened at the scene by the outline of the five corpses that we have drawn. ”

Hitbels: "The bodies fell in different directions, but they were all very concentrated, Chris. ”

Chris: "This street is the last street for the Imperial Patrol to patrol the security situation in the Imperial Capital, and if you come from the corner over there, then ...... This corpse with its feet facing east and west should be the first person to be killed, and the one over there that is slightly biased should be the second victim, because he just reacted and was killed with a side of his body. ”

Max: "The angle of the position shift between the two is about 40 degrees, which means that this murderer is very fast, and he was killed before the second person could fully turn around. ”

Hitbels: "According to the basis of the first, this person who fell in the opposite direction should have reflected it, looked at the position behind him, but was also killed. The fourth body was further away from the other three bodies than the fifth, but the two bodies were so close to each other that they were probably killed while trying to escape. ”

Max: "It's supposed to be the fourth soldier and the 'annihilation' general here, but we've only analyzed the order of their deaths, but we don't know the murder weapon, the time of the killing, the state of death, etc...."

Chris: "Looks like we need to make a trip to Aquila HQ." ”

Because the incident happened in the Demon Soul Imperial Capital, all the conditions and corpses have now been moved to the Sky Eagle Headquarters, but Sky Eagle, as the only intelligence organization in the Imperial Capital, must be heavily guarded inside, and it is not easy to obtain information. In order to quickly investigate the desired clues and quickly withdraw from the Aquila headquarters, Chris chose to split up, Chris went to the Aquila data room alone to review the forensic report, scene summary, and crime scene photos of the case, while Hitbels and Max went to the infirmer's room

But at the door of the autopsy room, they are in trouble, because the door of the morgue is opened through an electronic key card, if it is forcibly damaged, I am afraid that the alarm system in the building will be triggered, and there are 2 fully armed royal guards at the door, although they have to carry something like a key card hanging on their waists, but they are the royal guards of the Demon Empire after all, and it is almost impossible to get the door card and enter the autopsy room without attracting attention

Hitbels: "It's tricky, although I can stun the two of them, but it requires a certain amount of dark power, which I am afraid will be sensed by the higher-ups of the Demon Soul Empire." ”

Max: "We can't stun them or be out of sight, because if they sense something is wrong, they'll notify the others... Well...... By the way, XT, would you use 'illusion spells'? ”

Hitbels: "Yes, yes, it's just an illusion spell that doesn't arouse suspicion, only 'dark memory', which allows me to tamper with their memories for a while, but I need to be very close to release it, and according to the distance between us and them now, it's not enough." ”

Max: "Wait, is there only one light in that hallway?" ”

Hitbels: "Yes. ”

Max: "That's fine. ”

After a minute or two......

Royal Soldier 1: "Huh? What's wrong with this lamp? How did it flicker? ”

Royal Soldier 2: "I guess something went wrong, now it's okay." ”

Royal Soldier 1: "No, it's here again. ”

Royal Soldier 2: "Well, I guess there's something wrong with the power system......"

Royal Soldier 1: "Dead?" Looks like we're going to have to fix the circuit, you wait here now, I'll call an electrician..."

Hitbels: "Hey! Dark Memories !! ”

The lights in the corridor suddenly dimmed a few times, and the attention of the two guards was attracted, although it returned to normal after that, but after four or five seconds, the lights suddenly dimmed a few times, they thought it was a problem with the power system, but then the lights dimmed completely, and because there were no other lights in this corridor, although there were lights at the corners on both sides of this short corridor, this corridor was very dim

Just as one of the royal guards was about to go to the electrician to fix the electrical circuits of the lights here, Hitbels appeared in front of him and released the 'Dark Memory', and the guard guarding the doorway soon fell for the 'Dark Memory', and then the lights in the hallway returned to normal

With the 'dark memory' that Hitbels released to them, their memories during this time were the same as the memories when they stood guard before, and the previous memory of the lights flickering was modified to 'return to normal after a while', in fact, the so-called power problem was actually that Max found the circuit of the lamp here, causing a brief moment here. The reason why the wires are short-circuited' attracts the attention of the guards, and the reason why they are not extinguished all at once is in case the two royal guards directly notify the other guards and guards in the building when they see that the lights are directly extinguished here, and the lights in other places are not extinguished.

The phenomenon of creating a short circuit in the lights was to prevent them from immediately thinking that someone was deliberately trying to manipulate the corridor, and when Hitbels released the 'Dark Memory', Max returned to the corridor, took off the key card from the guard's waist, and entered the autopsy room. There was no one in the coroner's room, only five bodies on the operating table, and the two immediately rushed to the operating table to examine the bodies

Hitbels: "A knife in the back, a direct break of the armor, a direct hit to the point, this kind of power is not very human. ”

Max: "The corpse of the 'Annihilation' General has different wounds on it, everyone else is a scratch, but the one on the 'Annihilation' General is... Thorn marks! ”

Hitbels: "That is, the other four were killed by a quick and sharp stab, and 'Annihilation' was killed by the person stabbing him in the center of the lung. ”

Max: "The bodies of the four people are all from shallow to deep to shallow, that is to say, the weapon that the murderer has in his hand is a long sword that can be seen every day, not a dagger, a short knife or anything like that, after all, to kill four people quickly, then the speed of the murder must be very fast, and the short knife must be very close to each other to cause such a wound." According to the depth of the wound and the speed of the attack, the distance of the murderer's attack was at least 2 meters, and it could only be a long sword. ”

Hitbels: "There's a slight sound of footsteps and talking in the corridors, we need to get out of here quickly, they're almost 20 meters away, two corridors at most, and we'll get here." ”

Max: "Well, get out of here, wait for Chris." ”

Hitbels was very good hearing, and indeed there were two guards patrolling the corridor at the two corners of the corridor in front of the coroner's room, and in less than a minute they would reach this corridor and find that the two royal guards in front of the coroner were not in the right state.

So Hitbels and Max immediately walked out of the autopsy room, and went in different directions, and when they came to the corner, Hitbels took away the spell of 'Dark Memory', everything was back to normal, and the two of them also walked out of the Aquila headquarters smoothly, and arrived at the meeting place that had been agreed before

10 minutes later, Chris also arrived here, but due to the tight time, and it was impossible for them to take any information and photos from the Aquila headquarters, so Chris just entered the relevant information into the 'Hawkeye' camera, and they now had to go back to the 'Shield' base and look through the video to check the clues, so the three of them returned directly to the 'Shield' base

April 28, 9 a.m. in the D3 analysis room

Tiandao: "These are the materials captured from Chris's 'Eagle Eye' camera, we have printed them out, you all have a look." ”

Chris: "I took a cursory look yesterday and it happened at about 9:50 p.m. on April 26, and at that point, there happened to be a drunken drunk walking there, and all he saw was that on the other side of the street, there seemed to be a blade with a silver glow that had been retracted into its scabbard, and then the person disappeared. But he was 100 meters away from the scene of the crime, so he didn't notice that he had fallen on the street. Annihilation of them, he thought that those people were like him, drunk and fell on the side of the road, so he walked towards the road where he was supposed to go home, and when he passed by the street again at noon the next day, he found that the Imperial army surrounded the street, so he went to the cordon outside the crime scene, only to find that the figures were similar to what he had seen last night, and their appearance did not seem to change, and then he explained to the Imperial army what he saw. ”

Max: "Similar to what we analyzed before, we also judged that the weapon used to commit the murder was a long sword commonly worn by soldiers, but there is something strange here, according to the forensic report, it seems that the 'Annihilation' general was killed without resistance, how is this possible?" According to our judgment, the 'annihilation' general should be the fifth person to be killed, which means that the 'annihilation' general at this time should have discovered the murderer, how could he be killed without making any resistance? ”

Hitberts: "Two reasons, either an acquaintance committed the crime, which led to the 'annihilation' distraction and murder. Or, a more powerful enemy, kill Annihilation before it can resist. ”

Chris: "However, as far as we know, the top ten generals in the Demon Soul Empire's combat power can be killed without resistance, and only Lord Celestial God has this kind of strength, and there is XT you, there should be no other person with such ability on the continent." ”

Max: "Could it be that there is any enemy we haven't discovered?" As far as we know, Yogsaron's true body still exists in the endless darkness, and maybe there are some fierce enemies who once hid in the darkness and suddenly come out of the darkness. ”

Tiandao: "Huh? You continue to research, there is a prompt on the tablet, it seems that the director wants to contact us, I have to go to D1 to talk to the director. ”

Three: "Yes." ”

Tiandao walked out of the D4 analysis room, walked to the D1 monitoring room, and turned on the communication computer, sure enough, it was Sadou Oken who wanted to ask about the investigation of the Tiandao Dark Shield Bureau, and Tiandao also explained the investigation of Chris and the others to Sadou Oken

Tiandao: "That's the case, Director, we don't have a clear goal at the moment. ”

Sadou Okun: "Deeper dark forces?" I understand, first transfer all the hunters sent back to the headquarters, I will start this later, your mission is over for the time being, if there is a follow-up situation, I will contact you. ”

Tiandao: "Director, look at your face, is something wrong?" ”

Sadou Okun: "It's the Sintle team on the other side of the Tocanislo continent, according to Isomo's report, there is something big going on there, I transferred back to Ireland in the imperial capital overnight, as well as Somert and Jugnane in Leg, and mobilized the fleet for them to go there immediately." ”

Tian Dao: "It seems that something big has happened, and he actually sent two Dawn Gods and Holy Emperors at one time." ”

Sadou Okun: "There's been a lot going on lately. Now that the Demon Soul Empire is in turmoil, the focus of the whole world is focused on what happened in the imperial capital, I'm afraid that some people will make trouble during this chaotic time, and then I still need the Dark Shield Bureau to solve those cases, so as not to let the chaos continue. ”

Tiandao: "Yes, Director! ”
