"Poof!"

"Poof!"

The feeling of blood splattering on her face was piping hot, and in the midst of the magnificent hall, surrounded by marble columns, a beautiful woman who was running outside with a half-grown child in her arms was pierced through the chest with a long sword by two knights behind her.

The child was taken away, and the woman fell in a pool of blood and struggled, stretching out her hands to the child, with painful struggle and despair in her eyes, blood oozing from her mouth, and she continued to climb up with the knight's legs.

"Give me back my child, my child, my Ardnos, ...... I ......"

"Poof!" The soldier raised his sword and stabbed it downward.

"Ahh Adenus Monal woke up from his dream again, even though his body that had been integrated with the blood of the ghoul no longer sweated, he was still trembling with excitement, and he was holding his head tightly.

Yadenos doesn't know how many times he dreamed back to midnight, he would see this terrifying scene, when his mother, who was killed by his father because of domestic power disputes, that stupid, simple woman, did not know the darkness of this world until she died, and never saw through her cold-blooded father, the Monar family has never had family affection.

It was from that day that Yadenos never really fell asleep, everyone thought that he was young and did not remember what happened back then, including his father, but Yadenos always remembered, never forgot for a moment, did not dare to forget for a moment, but with his strength, he could not do anything, until one day he knew about the existence of wizards, Ardnos applied to the king for external training, and then tried every means to enter the wizard's tower and obtain the power of wizards.

"It's here, it's here, it's here, it's going to be that day."

"I will ~ wash away all the sins of this world ~ all of you, and I want all of you ~ all of you ~ to atone for your sins."

Adenos babbled, as if comforting himself, as if he was going crazy, crying and laughing, as if the whole person had lost his mind, and it took a long time to calm down.

--------------------

At dawn, just after dawn, a young man about eighteen or nineteen years old, who had not even grown a beard, followed the footsteps of the city guards, and quickly went to the corner of the flower lane of East Street, where many onlookers had gathered, and everyone was talking.

"Another one died, and another one was bitten to death."

"It's so scary, a large piece of flesh on the face is directly gone, what kind of monster? Actually cannibalism? ”

"It's not going to be some beast coming into town."

"These city guards are also all rubbish, for so many days, they haven't even found out what it is, this is fifteen dead, and people will die every day or two, which is too scary."

"Probably not a beast!"

"What's that?"

"Who knows? But I've heard people say it's ......"

Everyone was panicking while watching the excitement, and many gorgeously dressed women even covered their eyes directly, not daring to look at the corpse in the gloomy alley, the corpse's face and neck were gnawed off large pieces of flesh, revealing the muscle tissue and white bones inside, which looked terrifying, and when you looked closer, you could see the tooth marks left on it.

"Get out of the way, everyone is not allowed to gather here, hurry up and leave, go home." The captain of the city guard squeezed through the crowd, wearing a sleeveless shirt with a Babs diamond gemstone badge pattern, a piece of chain mail inside, a pair of black pants and boots, and a long sword at his waist, looking quite heroic, but the other guards behind him looked like they were hanging out.

There has been no war in Babs City for many years, and most of these people are the children of merchants and nobles in the city, and the usual things are to scrape oil and water, catch thieves, and catch murderers, and few people train regularly.

"What's the use of seeing, nothing has been found out yet, it's all a swarm of moths!"

"That's right, they are so powerful when they usually collect taxes, and now they are needed, and even a pig is more useful than them."

"I think we need a new City Guard Captain."

"That's right, let him get out of here and change to a capable one."

The bravado of the city guards did not make the people in the city retreat, but scolded angrily, most of the people who lived near this east street were rich merchants, and there were also some down-and-out nobles, although they were not high-ranking figures, in the capital of the Mara kingdom, there were countless such figures, but a captain of the city guard in their eyes had no deterrent effect.

Since more than a month ago, there have been people missing and dying in the city, and no one cared at first, after all, Babs is not a paradise on earth, this is the capital of commerce and trade, and under the light and shadow of the bustling extravagance, there are a lot of dark transactions and dirty things hidden, all kinds of people who are mixed at the bottom, and the chaotic slums in the city, and some people often disappear and die, which is a very normal thing.

However, when a half-eaten human corpse appeared, it immediately caused a sensation in the city, cannibalism, which immediately reminded people of something bad, and there was such a cannibalistic monster who didn't know what kind of cannibalism was shuttling around the city, but there was no trace of them, which made the people in the city even more panicked.

As time passes, the number of dead people continues to increase, and this panic and depression continue to accumulate and spread, especially when so many people die, the city guards have not done anything, and the safety of everyone's lives is threatened.

The captain of the city guard was sweating profusely: "Ten days, I promise that within ten days, I will give you an explanation." ”

After explaining for a long time, at this time, the crowd gathered finally dispersed, but Tucker, the captain of the city guard, knew that if he couldn't catch the murderer again, I was afraid that his position would really not be stable, and many adults above, even including the king, heard about this matter, because of this incident, the business of many gambling houses, brothels and other places in the city was greatly affected, and these classes were the money bags of those big nobles.

His boss also ordered him to solve the matter immediately and restore order, otherwise he would really be out of the way in ten days, as he said.

Tucker looked at the young man on the side anxiously: "Mr. Edward, you promised me that within ten days, the truth will be clarified." ”

Edward nodded: "I promise, but you will do your best to help me, of course, the credit is yours, I just want the truth." ”

Edward was the boy who had come with the City Guard, and was also the youngest student of Bol, who had set out a month earlier, but he had been delayed by some things on the way, and had only recently arrived here, and the first thing he found was Tucker, who was already exhausted, and assured him that he could help him solve this series of events.

Of course, Tucker wouldn't believe him, but after he told him a series of clues and results of his own search, Tucker still invited him to investigate the scene with him.

Edward examined the body: "The cause of death is here, the trachea has been bitten off, look at this tooth mark, it is a tooth mark similar to a human." ”

Edward sniffed the wound, and then frowned: "Everyone be careful, the corpse is poisonous, I don't know what poison it is, and I don't understand the poisoning method and transmission method, everyone be careful when approaching the corpse." ”

Tucker and the soldiers on the side immediately changed their faces: "What? Poisonous? ”

The corpses of the past few days were all cleaned up by them, and they didn't pay much attention to it before, but now that they think about it, their faces are pale, and they think of the strange ways in which these dead people died, Tucker immediately said: "What kind of poison is this?" We're not going to get poisoned, are we? ”

Edward glanced at them, and his spiritual power swept over: "It's okay, it shouldn't be the type that is transmitted by contact, it may be spread by blood and body fluids, so to speak, the existence of biting people also carries toxins." ”

Tucker immediately said, "Didn't you say before that it was a human tooth mark?" It's humans who kill these people. ”

Edward nodded: "It's human-like, I didn't say human, but it seems that this is not an ordinary event, we have to be careful." ”

Edward checked the ground and immediately frowned, many places on the scene were destroyed, footprints were everywhere, and he couldn't analyze anything at all, so he could only sigh and stand up: "What about the first witness?" ”

The first to find this place was the proprietress of the nearby flower shop, who seemed to be a little frightened at the moment, she was in the morning before dawn, when she opened the shop and swept the floor, she found the corpse in the alley, it was about five o'clock in the morning, and there was no one nearby, Edward then asked, and did not ask anything, the proprietress was a little frightened and stupid, and did not pay attention to anything.

When the investigation was completed, it was already noon, Edward stood up and turned around to leave, Tucker was also moved by Edward's series of analysis, thinking that Edward could really help him solve the case, if he could really solve this time, Tucker would be famous throughout Babs City, needless to lose his position as captain of the city guard, and maybe there would be a chance to move upward.

This made Tucker immediately enthusiastic about Edward: "What to do with this corpse?" ”

Edward immediately said, "Where are the previous corpses?" I need to go over and take a look too! ”

Tucker immediately said, "In the cemetery outside the city, where is old Jock guarded, he is an old grave keeper. ”

After saying that, Tucker immediately said to the other soldiers, "You guys carry the corpse and send it to Old Jock." ”

Edward put away his equipment, turned around and walked towards the outside of the city with Tucker, passed the corner in front of him, suddenly found something, stopped, squatted down to look at the ground, Tucker immediately stopped in confusion: "What's wrong?" ”

Edward pointed to the floor on the ground, knocked on it, and immediately found a hollow voice underneath: "These floors have been turned up, what is the place below?" ”

Tucker immediately looked at the slab, which was relatively large and not quite the same as the nearby one: "Oh, this is the entrance to the sewers. ”

Edward tapped his finger on the slate and thoughtfully said, "Okay, got it, let's go to the cemetery first." ”
