"Egret" area.

After passing through a field of low, dilapidated houses, Buck leads Heidi to a secluded and dilapidated place that is overgrown with weeds and eerie even during the day.

"It's occupied by a small number of homeless people, but they have to run around during the day, so they can't see anyone. Buck said, pointing to the crumbling wall.

Turning past a few mud huts that could collapse at any time, Heidi saw the location of the crime in the photo, with sewage flowing sideways, flies and insects flying around, and a foul smell on her face.

"The homeless people don't have the idea of keeping their environment clean and tidy, and they still litter everywhere when the sewer entrance is nearby. Buck scolded, even a police detective like him who was running around couldn't help frowning at this place, let alone an arcane at the Atomic Research Institute like Ms. Heidi!

Although Heidi's own area of expertise is not in this area, the arrangement of the mandatory tasks of the Magic Council makes her not lack of adventurous exercise, compared to the lair of ogres, trolls and other monsters, it is simply clean and refreshing like the garden of a noble lady, so she walked to the corner without frowning, casting prophetic and necromantic magic to scout for clues.

"Yesterday there was a heavy rain, and a lot of traces were destroyed...... Heidi confirmed her suspicion from the magic feedback.

Buck looked at her expectantly, "Yes, we are also facing such distress, so we are asking the council for help, is there anything you can do?"

He didn't use the full name "Magic Council" to show that he was a standard pro-magician.

At the scene of a serious homicide, Heidi doesn't have a big grin. did not laugh and play, but very solemnly took out the flesh and blood of the victim, and cast the five-ring magic of the astral system "Homogeneous Positioning Technique".

The mass of flesh in her hand suddenly melted, and fell to the ground drop by drop, pulled by the mysterious force, pointing into the distance.

"Originally, this magic could only locate living creatures, but after improvement, it can also be used to trace the 'traces' of the deceased, as long as the murderer still has internal organs, as long as it does not exceed a certain time frame. 'It' will lead us to the past. Heidi's left hand seemed to have a layer of blood wriggling.

Buck watched in amazement at the anomalous magic. Once again, he strengthened his belief in sending his son to a general school to receive a basic magical education.

This time, it was Heidi who led Buck, and the two shuttled through the "Egret Zone", tracking the murderer's whereabouts.

After a while. After arriving at a fork in the road. The blood in Heidi's hand jerked to stop boiling and twisting. As if it had lost its most vital moment, it faded its dark red and emitted a rancid stench.

"Ma'am, what's wrong?" Buck asked worriedly.

Heidi looked around. The doll had a very serious expression on her face: "The connection between the 'kind' has been deliberately severed, and this must be done with sufficient magic, divine art, or knightly strength. ”

"What?" Buck was surprised, this kind of serial murder of the poor, would have official magicians and noble knights involved?

Heidi wrinkled her nose: "I asked before why the murderers didn't destroy the corpses, and now it seems that they don't have the ability, but they have other purposes." ”

"Other purposes?" Although Buck knew a lot of secret files, he still lacked "common sense" compared to a veteran magician like Heidi.

Heidi looked around for a moment and said casually, "Generally speaking, this strange situation is related to evil magic rituals or cults, and they use 'internal organs' when they pay attention to the fact that the original corpse is still there......"

"Then I'll submit your conclusions, ma'am. "Buck wanted to back down a little, rashly getting involved in this kind of thing is something that he, a police detective with only the strength of a high-level knight's squire, can't afford it, let the knights at the top of the police department handle it, or go and ask a high-level magician!

He looked at the forks in the road, one leading to the outside of the city and the other to the other side of the "Egret District", so he judged: "The murderers must have escaped from the city, and it is difficult to determine the trace now."

Heidi was quite excited in her heart, and it was rare to have the opportunity to encounter evil magic rituals or cultists, so she eagerly took out the magic crystal ball and said solemnly, "I'm not sure, let's confirm again." ”

In Rentat, she was not too worried about encountering enemies that she could not deal with, and battles of more intensity than a certain intensity would be discovered by the Lord who guarded the Palace of Nexer and the headquarters of the Elemental Will.

The transparent crystal ball turned pitch black under the amount of mana, and then a little bit of bright starlight lit up, connecting into a pointed band of light.

"Went to the other side of the Egret area...... Heidi got this feedback from the astrology, but not specifically, "let's go and see." ”

Buck was slightly distressed, but he didn't dare to refute, so he could only follow Heidi's back.

"Ms. Heidi is a near-high-level magician, and a legendary student, there must be no shortage of powerful items, even if she encounters an evil magician or a cultist, there is no ......" Thinking of this, his heart gradually calmed down.

At this time, he saw that Heidi had been playing with a silver badge in his hand, which was engraved with the symbols of the elements, which seemed to be a miniature of the periodic table - the periodic table is the foundation of the elemental realm, even the common people know it, and many people even carved it on their doors, believing that it has magical powers to defend against evil.

Heidi chuckled, "A medium for magical rituals." ”

"Magic Ritual ......" According to Buck's shallow magical knowledge, isn't this something that should be prepared for a long time in advance?

While talking, along the path, the two came to a corner of the slum, where people came and went, and it seemed quite lively.

"If it's a cultist, there must be a lot of people, which is consistent with more than one murderer, so we ask who often has a large number of strangers coming and going, or who is regularly noisy at night, so that we should be able to find some clues. Buck gave advice to Heidi based on his own experience.

Heidi smiled, "Then trouble Buck Detective You." ”

In front of a low house, there stood an old woman with a wrinkled face, who was drying her washed laundry.

"Hello, ma'am. I'm Senior Detective Buck of the Kingdom Police Agency, and I'd like to ask you a few questions. Buck politely flashed his ID.

The old woman wiped her hands a little sluggishly and in a panic: "Mr. Detective, you can ask casually. ”

This kind of poor people who have never seen the world usually behave like this when they meet police detectives, so Buck nodded secretly: "You should be familiar with this street, right? Is there anyone who often haunts a large number of strangers, or makes intermittent noise at night, so that everyone can't sleep?"

The old woman thought for a moment and said, "No, I don't notice, I rarely go to other parts of the street. ”

Buck picked up his papers: "Then do you know who knows this street very well?"

"Yes, Mr. Moro of the Black Brotherhood. The old woman whispered, as if she were quite frightened of the Mr. Morro.

Buck nodded, "Then take us to him." ”

"Nope. No. Mr. Detective, find someone else. The old woman waved her hands in a panic.

How could Buck compromise?, with his stern gesture, the old woman closed the door of her house and led him and Heidi deeper into the street.

Beneath the low houses on both sides of the street. There are women washing clothes. There were men chopping wood. There are small children looking at strangers curiously.

"It's hilarious. Buck sighed.

Heidi frowned slightly, looked around, and did not speak.

Then. The old woman stopped in front of the most imposing two-story building in the slum: "Mr. Detective, ma'am, Mr. Moro is inside. ”

She said as she knocked on the door.

Heidi said suddenly: "I won't visit Mr. Moro for the time being, we still have urgent matters." ”

"What?" Buck said puzzled, and Heidi's voice suddenly sounded in his heart, "Get out of the way first, I'll do it myself, or I may not be able to take care of you." ”

"For what?" Buck suddenly became nervous, this is the legendary telepathic connection?

Heidi sighed without a smile: "The poor people in the slums need to work for more than ten hours a day in order to survive, so during the day, there are only children and a small number of women, now, look at how many men stay at home, what do they rely on to support themselves and their families?"

Buck suddenly broke into a cold sweat, he was transferred to serve as a senior police detective, he had never had grassroots experience in the past, and those ordinary police detectives under him may have already discovered the problem, so he cooperated with Heidi and said: "Yes, I suddenly remembered that we still need to return to the police department urgently, and we will come to visit Mr. Moro tomorrow." ”

"Hmph, you've already found a problem and still want to leave?" A cold and hoarse voice came from the two-story building, and the door was blown open by the strong wind, and the heavy smell of blood overflowed.

In the spacious hall, the heart, intestines, spleen and other organs were messy and strangely regular, not only blood red as before, but also rhythmically bulging.

The men, women, and children around them all stood up, their mouths completely cracked, revealing their entire teeth, their tongues covered with barbs, and their eyes turned scarlet and cold, exuding an evil and paralyzing aura.

The old woman standing next to her suddenly became shriveled, as if a balloon had been punctured, and then she quickly swelled again, her eyes were red, and she made a dull male voice: "Do you still want to go?"

He raised his hand and pointed at it, and Buck suddenly felt the substance of black qi condense in his fingertips, and the terrifying death intent weighed down on himself and he couldn't move.

"Finger of Death?" Buck heard Heidi's voice in the telepathic connection.

The black gas condensed, death came like a needle prick, and Buck thought numbly, "Are you going to die?"

At this moment, he felt his body unreal, then stabilized, and appeared on the other side of the street.

"This?" he came back to his senses in surprise, realizing that it was Heidi who had escaped with her in a flash of magic attack.

At the same time, the "Douglas's Spell Absorption Wall" stands out, blocking the crimson rays of those "Cracked Mouth Monsters".

"You're not a high-level, how can you trigger it with a spell?" the hoarse male voice blurted out in surprise, his old woman's body collapsing as if it couldn't withstand the force, and the flesh and bones separated and fell to the ground.

At this moment, the many organs in the hall began to wriggle and gather, piecing together into a strange human form.

Heidi snorted: "Although I'm not a high-level, but who can only use high-level magic triggers?" This kind of pre-stored spell, the magic triggered according to a specific situation, happens to be in my research field, it belongs to the comprehensive application of the storage part, the control part, the operation part, the information collection input part and the magic output part, I can't simplify all of them, but I can simplify a few of them with the help of items...... Maybe Wuhuan will be a high-level magician in the future!"

She didn't seem to be in a hurry at all, but her left hand was constantly pressing on the silver badge, which seemed to be a complex set of spell casting gestures.

The monster with patchwork of organs said angrily, "I don't understand, but you don't want to live either!"

He was about to finish his body, and the "Crack-Mouthed Monsters" densely blocked the streets, and the amount of mana that rose in the shadows interfered with flight.

Feeling the gaze of those red eyes, Buck's legs trembled slightly, and he could only pin his hopes on Heidi.

Heidi pressed her left hand and suddenly threw out the silver badge, and a mysterious and strange voice came out of her mouth: "A cry from the starry sky, calling for the advent of the atomic universe......"

As soon as the monster heard the incantation, it immediately pounced, and its body was stretched into a long curtain of blood, corroding everything around it.

He understands very well that the power of the legend is close to that of the gods, so many magic rituals need to summon and communicate with different legendary planes to be cast, for example, many rituals of the "Pale Hand" need the projection power of the "Silent Hell", "Bone Wasteland" and the "Sleeping Place" of the Revenant Domination, generally speaking, as long as it meets the rules of these legends, after paying a certain price, it can be used, unless the legendary powerhouse himself deliberately prevents and conceals the half-plane.

And what made him unbelievable was that whose magic ritual could be used so briefly?

Pre-storage again?

The sound of incantations stopped, and the surroundings suddenly became extremely quiet, and the black curtain fell, and the vastness descended, and one by one the elemental planets appeared illusory.

Heidi's hand lit up with a "mysterious light", and the projection in the "atomic universe" zoomed in, and a planet that was constantly fusing appeared like the sun.

With its help, a vast scorching light swept across the slums, and the red-eyed "crack-beaked monsters" silently merged.

"No!" the visceral monster screamed in a terrible voice. (To be continued......)
