Chapter 91: Catching the Thief (I)
After listening to Drake's account, Liu Ling also had a general understanding of what happened. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
However, Liu Ling didn't think that he was facing any kind of devil, he thought that the devil-like creature in Drake's mouth must be dressed up as a human being.
Because Drake said before, the creature didn't run away when he saw him, but deliberately stopped for a while to allow Drake to see its face clearly before leaving.
This was clearly an attempt to confuse the public and make Drake think that the corpses were really stolen by the devil.
Therefore, it is quite reasonable for the mercenary guild to set this task as a first-class mission.
But Drake said that when he arrived at the corpse management office, the doors and windows were closed, and the door was locked from the inside, and the only way to enter without a key was to break the doors and windows.
If the bodies were really stolen by a person, then how did that person get in and how did he get out?
Although the Kella Continent is different from the earth, it is full of magical power, but Liu Ling couldn't think of any magic that could enter the house and then come out without destroying the doors and windows.
Could it be the legendary space magic teleportation?
How is it possible, not to mention that this spell only exists in the legends of the Kra Continent, even if someone really learns this magic, why is it not good, is it used to steal corpses? This is too much of a fuss.
After thinking for a while, Liu Ling felt that this mission was very interesting, and he couldn't wait to fight the thief who stole the corpse.
Drake originally wanted to stay here to help Liu Ling, but Liu Ling said that he could definitely handle it alone, so Drake left very interestingly, leaving only Buzz and Liu Ling in the corpse management office.
Buzz was a very introverted young man, and after Drake left, he didn't know what to say to Liu Ling, so he simply sat aside with a knightly novel and read it.
Liu Ling is not a person who is good at talking to others, Buzz does not take the initiative to talk to him, and he doesn't know how to open up first.
"You stay here first, I'll go out and observe the surroundings, and I'll be back in a while."
Since I don't know what to say to Bass, it's embarrassing to stay here. And at this time, there is still a period of time before the night, and the thief who stole the corpse will not appear for the time being, so there is no point in Liu Ling staying here all the time, it is better to go outside for a walk.
"yes, okay." Ba didn't say much, raised his head and said to Liu Ling that he knew, and then looked down at the book again.
The corpse management office was in a courtyard, and when it came out of the room where the corpse was placed, what appeared in front of Liu Ling was a small courtyard.
In the center of the courtyard was planted a big tree that Liu Ling couldn't name, and the shadow of the tree obscured most of the courtyard in the moonlight. The wall of the courtyard is not high or low, at least with Liu Ling's current physical fitness, it can't be overcome, but it's quite easy for some fighters to climb over.
Since Drake said he didn't see anyone walking in the direction of the corpse management from that road, it is likely that the thief who stole the body had climbed over the fence behind the yard to the corpse management.
But if you can climb over the wall, then why does the thief take that big road? Is it just to be discovered by Drake?
Walking out of the corpse management office, the street outside is indeed a dead end as Drake said, and there is only one way to get out.
Could it be that the thief climbed over the wall to enter the corpse management office and chose to leave the main road? But that doesn't make sense.
Liu Ling felt as if he had some very important information, but he couldn't say it accurately for a while.
There was a very small restaurant outside the corpse management office, and Liu Ling, who hadn't eaten much since last night, walked to the restaurant, ordered a few dishes casually, and continued to think about the thief who stole the corpse while eating.
……
After eating, Liu Ling came to the house that Drake said.
The male owner of the house was a very enthusiastic person, and when he heard that Liu Ling had come to help Drake catch the thief who stole the corpse, he told Liu Ling all the information he knew.
Much like Drake's description, the man of the house also claimed that he was seeing a demon.
His tone was affirmative, and he said he could even feel the evil aura emanating from the demon's body.
However, Liu Ling still doesn't believe that what he is about to face is really a demon, people's eyes are always unreliable, and sometimes the more he sees with his own eyes, the more he can't believe it.
After listening to the description of this man, Liu Ling was even more sure that someone must be playing tricks behind this.
After agreeing with the owner of the house that he would come to him in a while and wait for the so-called devil to appear, Liu Ling returned to the corpse management office again.
Buzz was holding the chivalric novel and reading it intently, and he didn't even raise his head after Liu Ling pushed the door in.
Anyway, Liu Ling didn't need his help, so he didn't bother him, and he carefully observed in the corpse management office.
There were more than fifty beds in the entire corpse management office at this time, and all but three were empty, and the others were all with corpses on them.
The bodies were covered in white sheets, and Liu Ling had little interest in the covered faces, and he couldn't stand the smell of the preservatives just by smelling them through the sheets.
In addition to the corpses, there is a large table in one corner of the corpse management office, on which is a thick stack of documents, which is where the registrars work.
Behind the table is a door, and inside that door is where the belongings are stored. Because there is no key, Liu Ling can't get in.
It took Liu Ling about half an hour to carefully observe the entire corpse management office from beginning to end, but he did not find anything suspicious.
Liu Ling, who had nothing to do, sat next to Bass, who had taken several knightly novels.
After talking to Bass, the bored Liu Ling picked up a copy casually.
The title of the book is called The Legend of Peter Ake, the Dragon Knight, and the book is not thick, but it looks like it is more than a hundred pages. Liu Ling took a quick look at it and found that the content of this book was a bit too boring.
It is roughly the story of a down-and-out aristocratic knight who meets a dragon, then becomes a glorious dragon knight to save the empire from danger, and finally marries a princess. It is estimated that the plot of all fairy tales on earth is a little more complicated than this book.
I picked up another knight novel called Scarlet Knight Syrba, except for the difference that Srpa got a set of scarlet armor and Peter Ark became a dragon knight, the rest of the plot is almost the same as the previous one carved out of a mold.
Although he didn't go through other books, Liu Ling thought that the plots in those books were nothing more than that. This level of books can keep Buzz in his hands, and the imagination of the people of the continent of Naxra is a little too lacking.
And from the memories left to him by Merry, Liu Ling knew that the two books he was holding in his hand were already the best of knight novels, and they were quite popular on the Kella continent, and it was not just Buzz who liked them.
Liu Ling hadn't read this kind of novel carefully before, but now after seeing it, Liu Ling even felt that he could basically sweep the entire Kerra Continent by casually moving those popular online novels from his previous life.
I don't know how many eras of these knightly novels will surpass these knightly novels in terms of imagination alone!
