For a long time, Ye Qingxuan thought that the so-called ten legends were just folk rumors, although many people said this conclusively, but Ye Qingxuan always felt that these things were too mysterious and had no credibility.

But now that an entire bookshelf of records was in front of him, he began to feel that things were not so simple......

Shaman, the mysterious man who set the rules for the entire world of Avalon crime, the dark lord of Avalon, once ruled the entire Lower Town until his mysterious disappearance six years ago.

The Chrysanthemum Hotel Massacre - Three years ago, Avalon's top hotel was brutally bloodied overnight, with everyone, men, women, and children, all of them smashed into a mass of flesh. Including Viscount Ferro, who was the target, was forcibly pulled out of his body with his head and spine.

This is one of the records of murder by the legendary Flesh Butcher.

Soul Eater, one of Avalon's late-night tales. In the end, under layers of investigation, it was found that the body was a musician who believed in the evil god and transformed himself into a black snake demon.

Pursued by several royal musicians, he was wounded and fled into the sewers.

According to the records, Soul Eater was on the run, wounded and frenzied, and attacked a school driven by hunger. As a result, he violated the rules set by the shaman and was killed by his chief killer, the 'Ghost Hand'.

Ghost Hand, the legendary debt collector and shaman's right-hand man. Anyone who violates the shaman's rules will be hunted down by him.

Ghost Carriage, the legendary mysterious ghost that flies through the sky at midnight. In the end, after investigation by the Musicians Association, it was determined that this was an ancient alchemical equipment left over from the Dark Ages, and the speed was extremely fast, and no one has been able to depict its clear appearance so far. The user is unknown, and the purpose is unknown......

There are even ...... Someone Ye Qingxuan has seen with his own eyes.

"Investigation and Analysis of the Cause of Death of the Ghost Mother"

Ye Qingxuan was stunned and slowly opened the record in his hand.

For several years, the Ghost Mother has existed as an invisible person in the lower city, and the well water of the major organizations does not interfere with the river water. We do not seize territory, nor do we interfere in smuggling, contradictory drug trafficking, or ordnance manufacturing.

Instead, she is providing 'goods' to major organizations, but the goods she provides are alive...... Her clients spanned the whole of Anglo, and she provided for a great deal of demand throughout the year, including the lack of prime labor on the estates, the black slaves in the mines, the beautiful young girls who were waiting to be sold, and many more children......

There was no room for her while the shaman was there, but after the shaman's disappearance, she didn't need to follow the rules that didn't exist and go back to her old business.

Then half a month ago, she died.

According to the investigation, the ghost mother accepted a commission before she died, the content of the commission is unknown, and it is suspected that it has some kind of relationship with the envoy of Yunlou City.

Then, she died. Dead in his own lair, bleeding and his face desperate. The other survivors also became insane after the massive mandala inhalation and are now being treated intensively at Arkham Asylum with no hope of recovery.

The pistol in charge of the autopsy stated in the report:

According to the analysis, her body has undergone some degree of alienation, which is suspected of being a 'siren transformation'. Probably one of the test subjects who disappeared after the attack on the Royal Academy twelve years ago.

Note: See BP198 file for details of the Royal Research Raid, requiring Scepter clearance, and...... (The handwriting is blacked out here).

According to the autopsy, the ghost mother not only inhaled a large amount of mandala before she died, but also was eaten by the invisible ghost and fell into a state of madness.

But the cause of her death was a sudden mental shock. The fatal blow shattered her will in an instant, completely burning her brain into a pulp.

Crisp and clean.

Many traces of the scene have been erased, but according to the measurement of the ether sphere, there has been a 'scepter' or higher performance here. It is suspected that it is related to the vision of 'bright moon on the sea' in Xiacheng District that night, and it is recommended that the relevant departments follow up and investigate.

At the end, a summary of the discussion is completely blacked out, and the original appearance is not visible.

After reading it, Ye Qingxuan silently put the report back to its original place.

Originally, he just thought that the crazy woman was just an ordinary human trafficker, but now he began to feel that the water in it was deeper. Fortunately, there were no traces of themselves and Bai Xi in it, otherwise they would not know whether they were in the academy or in prison now.

It's just that this aroused Ye Qingxuan's curiosity about the ten legends. Sadly, this curiosity was destroyed when he read the record of the naked man on a moonlit night......

In this record, the Avalon Police Agency has exhausted all means of investigation, and the following hypothesis has been established.

Espionage: This damn naked man is a Burgundian spy intent on sending some message to his comrades through the act of streaking. According to expert theorium, the place where he appeared and the street he ran on was a kind of pre-agreed cipher. By cracking the meaning of these codes, his comrades will be able to grasp the secrets of the Avalon royal family.

Hey, where he appeared was only about how much money he had in his pocket at the time, okay? The direction of the run and the street depended on which way the debtor was chasing him from behind......

What's more, there is also phenomenology, hallucinationism, and many experts say that the naked man on a moonlit night is a collective hallucination, representing the increasing pressure of the residents of Avalon and their desire to release ...... It is also said that the naked man on a moonlit night is a mysterious natural phenomenon.

Some people even witnessed the appearance of a mysterious saucer-shaped flying object with a cold flash in the sky before the appearance of the naked man on a moonlit night......

"Senior brother, take care. ”

Ye Qingxuan put the book back in his place.

Soon, he was drawn to the most terrifying of the top ten legends, the 'Ripper of the Whitechapel'. It is said that this mysterious serial killer haunts the Whitechapel district, specializing in hunting those who are engaged in the skin and meat business in the dark night, as well as **criminals, rumor-mongers and so on.

The Avalon Police Department has been in hot pursuit, but no trace of his existence has been found. In order to catch him, the police did not hesitate to send a young and beautiful policewoman, who pretended to be a dusty ** under the guidance of the ** in the prison, and wandered around the Whitechapel District for half a year, picking up countless customers, but the ripper was not baited. Instead, there were many murders elsewhere, and the bait scheme was completely defeated.

"That damn dog mongrel is a complete lunatic, absolutely. Psychoanalysts say so in the dossier. According to the analysis of criminal investigation experts, all the murderers are more or less motivated to make profits, implement their own ideas, or kill people.

But the Ripper, the bastard, is simply purposeless, as if he is trying to vent, constantly killing people. To this day, he is still committing continuous crimes, and he has never been caught. I couldn't even find a clue.

Ye Qingxuan was fascinated by the reading, and according to the appendix behind the file, he kept looking for the relevant records of the case.

Before he knew it, he was walking into the depths of the library.

Until the end, he realizes that things are getting more and more wrong.

Behind the Ripper's serial killings, it seems like something is always unknown.

Obviously, there have been several times when the police department has laid a wide net, and it is only one step away from catching this guy. But at critical moments, it is always inexplicable.

The National Police Agency deduces that the Ripper is a musician of the Apocalyptic School, who is able to predict and perceive the National Police Agency's plans and respond in advance. But even a scepter-level apocalyptic musician can't tease the National Police Agency for more than five years in a row...... Moreover, Anglo is not without strong people who can shield the prophecy.

All kinds of coincidences, in the eyes of careful scrutiny, have all kinds of weirdness. If once or twice is a coincidence, then so many times in a row...... It's just weird.

It's like this guy can teleport!

According to the records of the classics, in this world, except for the Pope, who has inherited the will of God, there is no one else who can cross a door of light and reach thousands of miles in an instant, even if it is impossible to move to another room.

One of the ultimate propositions of the School of Change is 'human teleportation', and until now, even saints who have received holy names have only been able to teleport ordinary objects of no importance over long distances through wind tunnels. If human beings want to break through space, the only end is to be torn apart, or evaporated into a mass of tragic blood.

No one can disappear without a trace in an instant, unless they get themselves to the point where they don't even have scum left. So how did the Ripper do it? Could it be that Pope Beethoven was so bored that he went to Anglo to kill people?

"No kidding. ”

Ye Qingxuan was amused by his own brain. After he finished flipping through the last record, his gaze suddenly fell on a sentence interspersed with an analytical statement: After exploration and research, it is necessary to suspect that the Ripper has some relationship with the 'Shadow of Avalon'.

Ye Qingxuan was stunned for a moment, as if he suddenly remembered Bai Xi's deck of playing cards! One of the ghost cards, a dilapidated and deserted royal city.

The Shadow of Avalon, one of the most well-known stories in the city.

Legend has it that city slumbered in the shadow of Avalon, where the spirits of the undead and demons dwell, buried secrets from the Dark Ages.

Some people say that is the true body of Avalon, the real Avalon. But this is just an absurd story, why does it appear in the report of the National Police Agency?

Unless, it has an actual ......

Ye Qingxuan pondered for a moment, and suddenly closed the file. Remembering the other files mentioned above, he made a beeline for the end of the bookshelf on this floor.

If he's right, there are more clues hidden in that shelf.

At that moment, it was as if he had touched the switch of taboos.

Pingbai felt a chill.

－

In the silence, the lights suddenly dimmed and flickered uneasily.

Suddenly, a wind swept through the large closed library, and the faint sound of the wind was like a wail. Ye Qingxuan looked around blankly, feeling that something was wrong.

When he took a step, he was creepy.

Behind the apparently empty people, there was a faint sound of footsteps.

In the silence, the footsteps were so soft. It was as if some unseen person was following him, following in his tracks, but without any other trace.

Fifteen paces away from the bookshelf, his footsteps came to an abrupt halt as the sound of footsteps had come behind him. He could even feel some kind of cold breath blowing on the back of his neck.

That's it.

In this large library, some inexplicable presence gives a final warning: you are trying to access secrets that you cannot explore.

Ye Qingxuan stood in place and raised his hands decisively:

"I'm sorry, I'm just looking for the Academy's personnel file......"

He took a step back, signaling that he didn't have any intention of crossing the thunder pool.

After a long time, the eerie chill finally disappeared.

Ye Qingxuan turned back in a cold sweat, and saw that under the dim light, there was still nothing behind him, but for the first time, he felt that this kind of emptiness was also reassuring.

Everything is back to the way it was before.

Only a faint line of footprints remained on the floor, like a road sign, in front of a bookshelf. On the shelves, a row of spines was silently pulled out by half an inch.

It's like telling him.

-- What you're looking for is here.
