Chapter 1: Necromantic Man
Thousand Waters City.
East Yamen.
"Leave the song, leave the song, the ink coroner is here. ”
In the lobby of the Yamen, under the bright fluorite lights.
A middle-aged man with a thin figure, a face like a national character, and a few gray hairs in his hair.
He trotted in from outside the door and shouted at a young man in a purple and blue patterned robe, with short hair and eyebrows like sword sheaths, who was half-squatting on the ground studying a corpse.
Lige lifted the shirt of the corpse on the ground and looked at the scars of the flesh tumbling inside.
frowned slightly, and the blood-colored crescent moon in the pupil of his left eye couldn't help but flash with a puzzle.
Then he raised his head and looked at the middle-aged man who trotted in from outside the door.
got up and said with a smile: "Uncle Wang, you have worked hard. ”
"It's hard work, wearing this clothes, doing this kind of thing. ”
The middle-aged man pointed to the purple and blue patterned shirt with "catch" on his chest, with a helpless face.
Then he looked down at the corpse on the ground, his face solemn.
said: "This time the dead are a little different from the past, the East Yamen is just you and me, and you really shouldn't take this task." ”
Alas!
Hearing the middle-aged man say this, the young man suddenly sighed and said.
"Uncle Wang, let's not pick a few more difficult tasks to complete, and we don't have to take it this month. ”
As we all know, Qianshui City does not raise idlers, especially those who are on errands in the government.
You need to complete some required tasks every month in order to get your own salary.
Otherwise, the money will be deducted.
Of course, if you can complete some difficult tasks, there are additional rewards.
However, because there are only two transcendents in the East Yamen, he and Wang Yao, and Wang Yao has a secret wound on his body.
Therefore, in the past, when I went to the general yamen to take on tasks, most of them picked some simple one-star tasks that were not too dangerous.
However, in recent months, due to the expansion of the three yamen in the west, north, and south, many simple one-star tasks have been taken over by newcomers from these three yamen to practice.
So when he went to the general yamen to take the task a few days ago, Lige gritted his teeth and took on a one-star difficult task.
However, five days have passed, and the mission has not progressed at all.
Seeing that the seven-day time limit on the mission is left, there are only two days left.
But at this juncture, someone in the city suddenly died mysteriously, and the cause of death was the same as the one he had received.
In desperation, he had no choice but to borrow a sum of money and ask Wang Yao to invite the coroner who had only one awakened secret technique in Qianshui City.
The coroner is a special kind of transcendent being in this world, who can determine when and how the deceased died by examining the wounds of the deceased.
and using the coroner's exclusive secret technique to see who the deceased died at.
In this way, the scope of the perpetrator is narrowed down, and a lot of time is saved to find the murderer.
And while Li Ge and Wang Yao were talking, a man about thirty years old and dressed like a Confucian walked in from outside the door without hurrying.
Seeing someone coming, Lige got up to greet him, hugged his fists and said: "Mo coroner, I was so offended by disturbing late at night." ”
"It's okay, it's an honor for Mo to serve Qianshui City. ”
Hearing the compliment of the song, the man who looked like a Confucian scholar smiled and replied modestly.
In fact, the two of them knew in their hearts that they were all looking at the face of money.
Otherwise, who wants to leave their warm bed in the middle of the night?
After a few polite words, Lige let go and brought the man who looked like a Confucian to the corpse on the ground.
Then he stood quietly aside, carefully watching the examination of the corpse by the man who looked like a Confucian student.
......
Mo Min bent down and half-crouched on the ground, looking at the corpse of a young man in his early twenties on the ground.
He examined his seven knots first, then lifted the corpse's shirt and swept over the five flesh-cut wounds on his chest.
He found five wounds on the body's chest, not with a sharp weapon.
Rather, it looks like a sliding mark of an animal's fingernails.
By looking at the wound, he couldn't determine what kind of animal's nails it was.
So he stretched out his right index finger and put it in the middle of the corpse's forehead, stimulating the coroner's exclusive secret technique [Memory Recall], so that the extraordinary power in his body passed through the index finger of his right hand.
And then put it into the corpse's mind.
Then fragments of memory poured out of the corpse's mind.
Then a brief blurry picture formed in his mind.
However, he didn't find out, just when he urged the internal qi of the dantian and used the coroner's exclusive secret technique.
Lige, who was standing on the side, had completely copied his secret technique through the blood-colored crescent moon ability "Moon Reading" in the pupil of his left eye.
"Moon Reading" is a kind of pupil technique that has no intention of awakening after leaving the song in this world.
Originally, he planned to use the ability of "Moon Reading" to accumulate and open this time as a task to copy some other people's combat secret techniques.
But because of this mission, he had to change his mind temporarily.
The target is the only Mo San idle coroner in Thousand Waters City, so that he will have the ability to track down the murderer through the corpse in the future.
......
Mo Min looked at the face of a man shaking a folding fan that appeared in his mind, and suddenly his eyes turned green, and he attacked the dead corpse on the ground for a short blur.
His face changed suddenly, and he stood up from the ground suddenly.
muttered, "Necromantic Man." ”
Necromantic man, hear Mo Min's murmuring.
Lige and the middle-aged Han Wang Yao on the side, the expression on their faces has changed greatly.
As the catchers of the transcendental, they know some secrets that are not known to ordinary people in this world.
Take the necromancer, for example, a person who has just died, and through some secret arts, he recalls unknown or designated souls and resurrects them again.
And the resurrected person, he will not only have the memories of his life, but also the body will also undergo essential changes.
Although the survival time is not very long.
However, some rich and powerful people are still willing to pay a high price for their dead relatives, friends, or children and parents, to find people who can use this secret art to resurrect them, so as to get a short reunion.
Of course, there are still some people, for some things.
Find those who know this secret art, resurrect some of the dead, and do something shady for them.
But after the great change of Xia Guozhi twenty years ago, there were very few special transcendents who could use this kind of secret technique.
Now there are such people again, and that's not a good thing.
The top priority is to find the necromantic man as soon as possible.
Find out how he was resurrected, and it was his family who spent money to resurrect him.
There are still people who resurrect him for some purpose.
As for the caster behind the necromantic man, that's out of the scope of Lige's consideration.
......
Mo Min calmed down and told Lige ambiguously about the scene he saw from the corpse's memory.
Then he said goodbye and hurried away.
He didn't want to have anything to do with the Necromancy and the spellcasters behind him.
After all, he was the only coroner in the vast Thousand Waters City.
If there is a conflict with other special transcendents of the Awakening Secret Technique, he may be in danger of his life.
So some of the scenes he saw in the corpse's memory, he didn't tell Lige.
Watching Mo Min leave, Lige's sword-like brows furrowed slightly.
Through Mo Min's account just now, he found that the other party did not completely tell him the memory picture seen in the corpse.
Without knowing the specific situation, it would be difficult for him to find the murderer, or indeed the necromantic man, in the last two days of the mission.
So he decided to use the coroner's proprietary secret technique that he had just copied.
See for yourself the images in the corpse's memory
