Act 27 is an injustice

- The smell of the dead.

Su Chen didn't understand what this sentence meant at first, but when he smelled the smell of blood in the air, and a kind of nausea from the instinct that a human being must have, he understood what all this combined was.

That is, the 'smell of the dead'.

When Kodir and Su Chen walked around the corner of the alley in front of them, what they saw was a man in fancy clothes who had fallen to the ground and had lost his breath. The man looked a little chubby, and his rich body fell to the ground and even looked like a fat pig waiting to be slaughtered. There was still a panicked look on his face, but it had already frozen. At this time, the low exclamation that Kodil and Su Chen heard before came from the mouth of the red-haired girl on the other side of the alley.

When the girl saw Su Chen and Ke Dier walking in, she immediately turned around and ran without hesitation. Kodil didn't have time to think about it before he chased after him, but it was obvious that the girl was very familiar with the alleys here, and Kodil chased him away after a while - he was certainly a very good marksman, but after all, he was not a local, so when he saw the figure of the red-haired girl hiding in this winding alley, even if he was unwilling, he could only choose to give up.

And when Ke Dir returned to the place of the incident, Su Chen was still observing the corpse, his face gloomy: "Don't chase it, she is not a murderer." ”

"How do you know?"

"See for yourself." Su Chen's hand couldn't help but point to the corpse on the ground, but at this moment, the corpse on the ground kept trembling, as if it was about to come back to life. Su Chen's face couldn't help but become gloomy: "This guy is about to transform into an undead creature......

"I can't imagine that there are still necromancers here." Curdir's face was as ugly as if he had seen something extremely disgusting, "These guys are really haunted. ”

"You know, not all undead are born because of necromancers." Su Chen looked around for a while, then broke off a small piece of wood under the eaves on the side, and then he sharpened one end of the piece of wood, and then slammed it into the chest cavity of the corpse. The corpse trembled a few times, and finally stopped shaking.

"—maybe it's because of the vampires." Su Chen then finished what he was going to say.

"Vampires?" Kodil's face could be said to be very exciting: "In the Northland Fortress, the largest and most prosperous fortress city in the Empire in the North, there are vampires? ”

"That undead can survive in any extreme environment." Su Chen was quite calm, "As long as there are people, even in the City of Radiance, you can find their traces." And these guys are disgusting like cockroaches, and when you stumble upon one of them, you're already hiding their kind all around you - you just can't see it. ”

"......" Kodil was silent, and just as Su Chen continued to say something, he suddenly heard a sound of footsteps. Then a group of soldiers with weapons walked over from the corner of the alley, and they naturally saw the lifeless man lying on the ground, and Su Chen holding a stake that had pierced the man's chest...... Of course, there is also Kodil, who is holding a longbow next to Su Chen.

No matter who sees this scene, they will intuitively think who the murderer is.

"Well...... If I say that my friend and I are just passing by, can you listen to me? ”

Then Su Chen and Ke Dir were arrested by the guards who swarmed up.

……

No matter what time or region it is, prison is anything but 'pleasant', and in this fortress city in the north, prison can even be used as the opposite of 'sunshine', and people can even say that it is like a prison when describing the darkness of the day.

During the two days they were in prison, Su Chen and Kodil did not eat any food or water. However, Kodil is a veteran of adventure, and he has been in harsher environments, so he didn't react for a while. As for Su Chen? He didn't need to eat it at all.

However, even in the clammy and cold cell, Su Chen did not lack a way to escape. Not to mention, his magic pet, the lovely 'El' can easily pry open all the locks and traps he encounters on the way, and then he can swagger out of prison...... It's just that what awaits him is likely to be an endless wanted warrant, and in order to avoid this, he and Kodil still choose to stay in the cage obediently and wait for trial.

It wasn't that no one came to inquire during this period, and at the beginning, the situation was indeed close to torture, but for some reason these people suddenly ignored them, and at about noon the next day, a sound of footsteps interrupted Su Chen and Kedil's thoughts. They looked out of the cage at the same time, and saw a female knight in silver armor standing outside the cell watching them.

"I haven't seen you for a while, and I didn't expect you to end up here." The female knight chief said helplessly, "In terms of the ability to cause trouble, you really impress me. ”

"We all have to stand up in the face of evil." Su Chen smiled bitterly, "It's just that our righteous and courageous actions may be misunderstood by some people." ”

"There have been several more murders since you were apprehended." "After investigation, it is likely that the vampire was the attacker, and there is evidence that the vampire has eroded into the upper echelons of the Northland Fortress. His Majesty the Emperor attached great importance to this time, and he ordered the three Grand Dukes to immediately find the vampires hiding in the Northland Fortress. ”

"Looks like you're in need of our help." Su Chen said.

"I just took over the job." "Then I knew that you were being locked up. There are only two paths before you now, or stay here as suspects for a while until we prove your innocence. Or help me catch the real murderer and destroy this vampire organization. ”

"Looks like I'm busy again?"

"Trust me if you helped me out of this crisis too." The chief knight smiled, "Then the Grand Duke will give you a good reward—absolutely handsomely." ”

"Come on, he owes me a reward. Anyway, if I don't want this reward, will I be able to get out smoothly? ”

"If you're willing to give up, I don't think the Grand Duke will have any opinion."

"En......" Su Chen was silent for a while, and then patted Ke Dier's shoulder: "I'm sorry that your retirement life will continue after a while, we have work to do." ”
