Chapter 186: Investigation and Speculation
People go to high places and water flows to low places, and the lack of masters is the biggest weakness of the security force. After all, no matter how good the work of the security team is, it is impossible to make a fortune or become a nobleman.
Therefore, in the security team, except for the Alicia Knight who is the sheriff, the rest are basically a group of "salted fish" who are willing to be dull and have no dreams, and they naturally can't count on their combat effectiveness or anything. The appearance of Green and his party undoubtedly solved the biggest problem of the security team.
Although the security team is not strong in combat, the security team, as the head snake of the land, is undoubtedly the group of people who know the local situation best. And Green just needs to use the power of this group of earth snakes to find out the body of the cursed doll.
The security unit of the Port of Ancona. Green is in his office, using the Sheriff's port map to discuss the case with Sheriff Alicia Knight.
"There is no doubt that the body of the cursed doll is in this area. Have you surveyed the inhabitants of this area? Green pointed to a small area on the map.
There are quite a few red crosses on the map, symbolizing the location of previous cases. Obviously, the security team is not eating for nothing, and has basically locked on the target area.
"Investigated." The Knight of Alicia sighed, "No suspicious person was found, so what we did for this incident was not man-made, but the result of a cursed item going berserk." ”
"Cursed items can't suddenly appear out of nowhere, right? Has anything strange happened lately? ”
"No, I'm afraid it's really possible that it appeared out of thin air." The knight of Alicia sighed, "According to the magicians, a large amount of magic is pouring in from the north, which makes the concentration of magic in Puerto Ancona too high, once it is a demonic night, even an ordinary pot and pan can be demonized and become a 'demonized item', if it is a cursed item with a powerful grudge, in this case, even if it goes berserk and turns into a monster, it is not surprising." Judging from the point of time, this murderous ghost incident happened just after the demonic night, so ......"
The knightess didn't finish, but she understood what she meant.
In a way, "magic" is similar to "nuclear radiation", both of which can easily cause biological mutations. Nuclear radiation is mainly aimed at the flesh and can cause the collapse of the biological body; As an energy that is easily influenced by spirits, magic usually does not cause the death of living beings, but it can cause a great burden on the spirit, eventually causing confusion, loss of control and even complete rampage.
So the question is, what kind of chemical reaction will occur if a "cursed item" with a strong grudge and "magic" that is easily affected by spirits are combined? The answer is: demonize, go berserk and become an aggressive monster!
"Resentment" itself has no power, so no matter how resentful the reader is on Earth, it cannot pose a threat to the eunuch author, but in this world with "magic" it is different.
Mana is affected by spirits, so powerful "resentment" will attract mana, turning something that is not otherwise special into a "cursed item" with magical power. As the magic power on the cursed item accumulates, the "resentment" in the cursed item will become more and more powerful, and even eventually materialize, so that the "cursed item" that originally had no will will will be born and become an aggressive "monster"!
For example, if an author is a eunuch, the reader's resentment will be attached to the eunuch and the eunuch author. If it is in a high magic environment, when this grudge is strong enough, then the "eunuch" will become a cursed item that demoralizes the owner, and the eunuch author will also be cursed to become inactive......
But that's not all! If the concentration of mana is high enough and the resentment lasts long enough, then the cursed item "Eunuch" may evolve into a monster that specializes in cutting people, and the cursed author will actually become a Eunuch.
To sum up, the lack of entertainment in the wizarding world is not without reason, because the risk of being a home is just too great!
Okay, back to the point.
The cause of this incident was apparently a cursed item that went viral due to the High Magic environment. The reason for this is that after the northern part was occupied by the demons, the concentration of mana in the north began to soar and spread to the port of Ancona, eventually causing a cursed item that was unknown to go berserk and become an aggressive "monster" - all in all, it was all the fault of the Demon King!
"I see." Green touched his chin, "That is, we don't have any clues in our hands other than the location of the crime?" ”
"Yes." The female knight nodded, "Unless you dig the entire Nangang District three feet into the ground, it's hard to determine where that cursed doll's body is." ”
Green touched his chin: "Hmm...... I think we can analyze the reason for the birth of the cursed doll. ”
"Didn't I already say that?" The female knight said angrily, "That cursed puppet was born because the concentration of magic power was too high. ”
Greene: "That's why the cursed puppet turned into a monster and started moving, not the cursed puppet itself. ”
Hearing Green's words, the female knight was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help frowning: "You mean ......"
"For some reason, I went out of my way to learn about some of the characteristics of cursed items and monsters. Monsters turned from cursed items are not intelligent in themselves, and they only act according to their own obsessions. Green looked at the map on the wall, "The cursed doll is in this area, and it only moves on the streets, it doesn't attack the people in the house, and it stubbornly dismemberes the dead. ”
"What does this mean?" The female knight couldn't help but ask.
Greene: "I don't know. ”
The female knight couldn't help but roll her eyes.
Greene: "But I have some guesses. ”
The female knight's eyes twitched.
Rubbing her eyes, the female knight spoke, "What kind of guess?" ”
"The cursed doll stubbornly attacks pedestrians, which shows that the cursed doll itself is linked to the homicide!"
If the reason for the formation of the cursed item is because of a certain author's eunuch, then there is a good chance that the cursed item formed will only make people eunuchs, but will not take people's lives.
"Acting only on the street shows that the house is a safe zone for that cursed doll. Then the homicide most likely happened on the street, not at home. ”
"The cursed puppet's stubborn dismemberment of the deceased suggests that in that homicide, there was a high probability that there was also a dismemberment."
Green uttered some of his guesses, then turned to look at the female knight, "Has there been a murder and dismemberment case in the port in recent years?" ”
"Hmm......" The female knight turned her head to her lieutenant, a middle-aged militiaman who looked quite old.
Hearing Green's inquiry, the middle-aged militiaman frowned deeply: "There is nothing special about the murder case, but if you divide the body...... I remember a necromancer ten years ago who was quietly learning necromancer magic in the city. At the time of his capture, a number of broken corpses were found in his laboratory. ”
Hearing the words of the middle-aged militiaman, the female knight's eyes lit up: "Where is the necromancer's laboratory?" ”
The middle-aged militiaman cast his gaze on the map: "The laboratory is hidden in the sewers, if the location is ...... Probably should be in this location. ”
The position pointed by the middle-aged militia happened to be in the southern area of the port!
