Chapter 188: Investigation and Follow-up
In the dark sewers, the militia with torches illuminates the entire sewer as if it were day.
A skeleton squeezed out of the sewer wall like a disembodied ghost, but before the skeleton could stabilize its form, a stone slammed into it from a distance.
"Bump! ~"The stone passed directly through the skeleton's bones, as if through a disembodied apparition, and then smashed directly into the wall behind it.
When the skeleton was completely squeezed out of the wall, the soul fire in the eye socket began to burn, and at this moment, another stone fell on it!
"Bump!" This time the stone landed directly on the skeleton's bones.
The skeleton turned its head to look at its attacking foe, waving its threatening claws and rushing towards it with its teeth and claws!
"It feels like these skeletons are very similar to monster lairs." Green stood not far away, playing with a few small rocks, observing the rushing skeletons.
It's just a skeleton soldier, and it doesn't even have a weapon, so naturally it's not to be afraid! I saw the female knight rush forward directly, tear off its arm with a single punch, and then quickly smashed the skeleton into a pile of small broken bones.
The dead skeleton left no trace, turning into a glow of magic that dissipated.
"There's something wrong behind this wall." The female knight touched the wall where the skeleton had appeared earlier.
"Tear this wall down." Green suggested.
The female knight hesitated for a moment: "This ...... You may need to write a report to it. ”
???
"Writing a report?" Green looked confused, not understanding what to do with tearing down walls and writing reports.
"This is public property, if the wall is knocked out, who will pay for the repair of the sewer after that?" The female knight looked at Green, "Of course, if you're willing to pay for the subsequent repairs, I don't mind demolishing it now." ”
"Huh...... We're saving the city, and we're forgiving us for the damage we cause. "If you had to pay a fine to save the world, creatures like superheroes/magical girls would have gone bankrupt a long time ago, okay!
The female knight looked at Green with retarded eyes.
"Well, it seems that if you want to be a superhero, you first have to be rich." Green shrugged, "So what do we do now?" Home? ”
"I'll go to the city hall and see the city councillor right away."
"You're going to trouble your boss over such a trivial matter?" Green looked at the female knight with a ghostly expression, "Won't you offend the leader like this?" ”
"If we vandalize the sewer without permission and something happens to you, that's the real big problem." The female knight replied scrutinically.
"Tsk!" Green smashed his mouth, "If this sewer is damaged, how much will I have to pay in compensation?" ”
The female knight glanced at Green and pointed to the top of her head: "This is a residential building with many residents living in it. If an accident occurs while digging, no one knows what the consequences will be. So I suggest that it is better to wait for the demolition permission to be approved from above. ”
Green couldn't help but rub his forehead. It seems like a simple task, why is it so troublesome!
Because of the fucking argument of "a fine for breaking the wall", Green and his party withdrew from the sewer again.
Sheriff Alicia Knight left a few militiamen to cordon off the scene, and then with a few team members, went straight to the city hall to ask for permission to demolish it, while Green stayed where he was, looking at a building on the side of the road.
After the accident ten years ago, the house where the necromancer once lived had been demolished, so the new owner of the land built a new two-story residential building here. If you were to excavate, the building would be in ruins during the excavation - after all, no one knows how far you have to dig underground to discover the cause of the undead.
"It seems that this matter will not be solved in a short time." Green shook his head and turned around, preparing to return to the inn.
Suddenly, Green stopped.
The smell of blood wafted through the air.
Green's expression froze. By the way, I didn't see the cursed doll in the sewers tonight! So where is that cursed doll now?
"Nana, give me the backpack!" Green turned around, ran behind Beladonna, opened the duffel bag that the girl was carrying, and took out a periscope from it.
With the periscope in hand, Green ran in the direction where the smell of blood came from.
Around the corner, Green poked out of the corner with a periscope and observed the situation behind the corner.
In the alley behind the corner, a puppet is cutting a corpse. Judging by the clothing of the corpse, it should have been a beggar.
The cursed puppet doesn't seem to notice the periscope in the corner, still concentrating on the corpse cutting, as if enchanted.
Green didn't rush out, but stood where he was, waiting. I'm going to wait until the cursed doll comes home and follow it all the way! It's a stupid idea, but it's absolutely effective, the only thing to be aware of is that it can't be detected by a tracking target, and the periscope in Green's hand is there for that.
There are many means of perception: light induction, heat induction, ultrasound, mental induction, etc. The cursed puppet's eyes are two buttons, and it is obviously unlikely that it can sense its surroundings through light, so Green reckons that it should be using undead-like psychic telepathy.
Apparently, Green guessed right!
Psychic induction is a 360-degree observation method without dead ends, which is very sensitive to the surrounding energy, and the heat, magic, and vitality will be invisible in the face of psychic induction, and there is no fear of darkness. However, if you encounter a dead thing that has no energy, the psychic sensation will become very dull. So when Green hid behind the obstacle and used the periscope to observe, the cursed puppet didn't react at all.
Green hid behind the corner and watched his target, waiting.
So when the cursed puppet cut the corpse into small pieces, it began to wander the streets again.
The cursed doll doesn't move fast, so Grimm and his party are able to follow it calmly.
It's a contest of patience. Luckily, the vigilantes had to deal with the skeletons in the sewers today, so no one came to mess with Green.
With no one on patrol, the Cursed Doll survived and made it to a house with a backyard just around dawn, where it eventually disappeared.
Green looked at the place where the cursed puppet disappeared and couldn't help frowning: "This is the real location of the cursed puppet's body?" ”
