Chapter 189: Relics and Bones

Cursed Doll: A cursed doll with a strong grudge wrapped around it.

————

Green dug up a pile of toys buried under a tree in the yard, and among them was the cursed doll!

The Cursed Doll looks very ordinary and does not look like a powerful item with the "clone" ability. But judging by the appearance of the cursed doll, Green can be sure that this is the murderer who has appeared in the city!

"Hmm...... It's weird. Green looked at the pit beneath his feet.

In the pit, there are a lot of messy toys in addition to the cursed dolls. When these toys were just dug up, they were more or less contaminated with some negative energy, but after receiving the light, they instantly dissipated and turned into a pile of ordinary "garbage", only the cursed doll in Green's hand still exuded an ominous aura.

Having said that, compared to the cursed puppets that killed in the alley before, the body in Green's hand was not even as good as a salted fish! Salted fish can at least jump a little, and after being dried into fish, it can be used as a spear thrust, this thing......

"Hmm...... Am I missing something? Green looked around.

There is only one building between the house and the haunted sewer. To be precise, the building facing the courtyard was built on top of the necromancer's chamber. Sure enough, is the core of the problem over there? I'm afraid this cursed puppet is just an introduction.

"Who are you? What are you doing in my yard!? At this moment, a middle-aged woman suddenly opened the back door of the house, carried a rolling pin, and rushed out.

It was a very large middle-aged woman, weighing at least two hundred pounds, and her whole body was trembling when she ran! Obviously, this middle-aged aunt who looks like she is the owner of this house.

Seeing the murderous expression of the aunt, Green hurriedly bent down and saluted: "Hello, madam." ”

Green's polite behavior made the middle-aged aunt stunned for a moment, but when she saw the cursed doll in Green's hand, she was angry again!

"What do you want to do with my daughter's relics!?"

Relic?

Green looked at the toys at his feet, then in the direction of the haunted sewers, and a flash of understanding flashed in his eyes.

"I see." Green took a deep breath, "Ma'am, I'm sorry for causing you a bad memory. I'm investigating the recent ghost killings in the city. ”

"Murderer incident?" The middle-aged aunt seemed to have thought of something, and the expression on her face became a little unpleasant, "This matter...... Does it have anything to do with my daughter? ”

"Hmm...... Madame, could you take the liberty of asking, was your daughter killed ten years ago by a necromancer who lived there? Green pointed to the house in the back.

"Maybe." The rolling pin in the middle-aged aunt's hand had been put down, but the expression on her face was not relaxed, and she didn't seem to want to communicate this question.

"Maybe?" Green frowned slightly, a hint of puzzlement on his face.

"You're not welcome here, please leave!" However, the middle-aged aunt did not want to continue to communicate with Green.

"It's rude." Green saluted the middle-aged aunt, and then Shi Shiran left with the cursed doll.

After the middle-aged aunt saw Green and his party leave, she sat silently under the tree, looking at the toys under the tree, and a trace of pain and suppressed anger appeared on her face.

Chikage, who was following behind Green, seemed to feel something, and suddenly looked at the cursed doll in Green's hand, and then looked back at the middle-aged aunt sitting under the big tree.

"Curse and hatred from a mother?" Green looked down at the cursed doll in his hand and sighed.

With mixed feelings, Green stuffed the cursed doll into his duffel bag, then went to the street where the sewer was located, and asked the militia who stayed behind about the family in the back.

The vigilante's militia were mostly locals, so Green quickly got the information he wanted.

"That family was really one of the victims 10 years ago." A middle-aged militiaman who looked to be some age sighed, "That necromancer is not human at all!" ”

"So have all the bodies been found?" Green asked, "Since there are a lot of victims, there should be a lot of corpses, right?" Have you determined where each corpse belongs? ”

"This ...... Who knows. Most of the corpses were divided, and it is said that there were even monsters made from a large number of corpses at that time! So there is no way to tell to whom the bodies belong. ”

Green frowned slightly: "That's it...... Maybe we still have a lot of undiscovered corpses at our feet. ”

"That's what Captain Alicia guessed too, so the land may need to be dug up to determine the situation." The middle-aged militiaman sighed, "This is really a sin!" ”

Obviously, it would be a big project to dig up all the land. But to Green's surprise, the efficiency of the city hall was unexpectedly high, and before Green could leave, the sheriff Alicia Knight hurried over with an old mage.

"Permission to dig has been obtained?" Green couldn't help but ask curiously, "Those bureaucrats are so efficient?" ”

"The murder incident has already caused a stir, if there is another cursed land where undead are constantly bubbling up, will this port still be alive?" The female knight sighed, pointed to the old mage beside her, and introduced to Green, "This is the advisor mage of the town hall, Anres. ”

"Hello." Grimm saluted the old mage, "In Lower Grimm, a traveler of interest. ”

"Hello." The old mage looked at Green, then at the two maids behind Green, and then stopped looking at Beladonna, "Huh? ”

Greene: "What's wrong?" ”

"This lady ......," the old mage looked at Belladonna carefully, "and she seems to have the smell of dragons." ”

"Well, she has dragon blood in her." Green explained.

"Huh~ I see." The old mage nodded.

"Master Anres, don't bare here, go down and check it out." The female knight couldn't help but urge, "After the situation is determined, we will start digging." ”

"Okay, okay."

At the urging of the female knight, the old mage went to the sewers and examined the problematic wall.

Soon, the old mage was sure that there was indeed a negative energy in that wall. It's not conspicuous, but considering the thickness of the land, it's still enough to be taken seriously.

After the problem was identified, the security team, which had obtained the excavation permit, began to negotiate with the residents of the "problem building" and evacuate the people. After that, the excavation work began in full swing.

The first day of excavation did not reveal anything, but in the evening, a large number of skeleton soldiers poured out of the excavation site, which proved that there was indeed something wrong with the land. Originally, the owner of the "problem building" complained about the excavation, but when he found a large group of skeletons emerging from under his house at night, he was frightened and stopped talking about compensation and damages.

And after two consecutive days of excavation, the excavation team finally made a discovery!

Skeletons, lots of skeletons!

It is very likely that these skeletons were left over from ten years ago, and these resentful skeletons are the reason for the appearance of those skeleton projections.

After some decontamination of the skeletons, the skeleton projections that emerge from the ground every day have finally disappeared.

However, to the dismay of the vigilantes, no cursed figures were found during the excavation. The only thing to be thankful for is that since this resentful burial ground was purified, the "murderer" has never appeared again.
