Chapter Thirty-Nine: A Broken Fluke

"The soul was eaten?"

"Well, or rather, sucked away. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 info "Phil flipped through the white cloth on several other corpses in succession, and found features similar to those of the first corpse. She turned back to Ian and asked, "Did you find anything over there?"

"I really can't see the soul thing. Ian smiled bitterly and shook his head, then pointed to the more than twenty corpses on the other side that were clearly dressed as soldiers, and said, "But these are all dead from sword wounds, and the characteristics of the wounds match the characteristics of their swords, just like ......."

"Cannibalism?" added Phil directly.

"That's right!" Ian nodded, quickly looking at the other corpses with purpose.

"It seems that it is indeed the ability of the control class. Fei'er muttered to herself, and once again a white cloth was opened, and the corpse of a red-haired woman appeared in front of her eyes. She turned back to Ian and beckoned, "Ian, if you're looking for the doctor's body, she's here." ā€

"What?" Ian quickly turned to Phil's side. He crouched down, carefully recognizing the other person's appearance, and sighed bitterly after faintly seeing some of Tina's shadow on the painful face of the female corpse.

"Ian, this is the end of the matter, and now is not the time to be sentimental. Fei'er, who had confirmed the identity of the corpse through the young man's sigh, patted him on the back and reminded, "There is a rather troublesome thing that has run into the Northern Regions City. And, now that we already know it, we must find it out, or more people will die!"

"Hmm. Ian closed his eyes and took a deep breath before putting the white cloth back on his feet and cheering up, "I see." ā€

He stood up and looked around at the corpses: "Fei'er, are there any other discoveries?"

"No more. Fei'er looked away, then dragged her chin and said, "Although it is certain that they have the ability to control, absorb souls and bind, the other party has not left any other clues that can allow us to judge their identity." ā€

"Now there are two possibilities. Fei'er straightened out her thoughts.

"One is that they themselves are outsiders from outside the circle. There is also a kind of person who belongs to the circle of capable people in the Northern Regions, but he has just returned from outside the territory. ā€

"For the former, we may have no way to do it without the physical characteristics of the other party, so we can only keep patrolling and waiting for him to strike again. For the latter, just investigate how many capable people in the Northern Regions have been outside the circle recently, and which of them have the ability to control the class. ā€

"It's really hard to confirm the identity of the capable. Ian added, "But the demon's normal size should be very small, otherwise it would not have been possible to hide from the city guards." In fact, it would have been impossible for them to let a living demon into the city. ā€

"Hmm......" Fei'er pondered for a moment, then raised her head and said: "Let's stop here today, if you continue to guess like this, there will be no result, I need to go back and check some corresponding information, and come back to you tomorrow." ā€

"Good. Seeing that it was really meaningless to stay here, the two quietly left after covering up the traces they had left.

......

The next morning, Ian, lying on his desk, felt very depressed.

He counted all the findings from the previous night and finally came to the conclusion that the was useless.

Aside from the other party's abilities, they still don't have any other useful information that would allow them to find the other person. Who knows if the capable man who manipulated the demon was fat or thin, tall or short?

"Sure enough, I'm not a detective. He muttered weakly.

"What's wrong, Ian?" Alvin's voice came from behind Ian, "You seem to have been very nervous for the past two days. Is it because someone is absent?"

"I'm thinking about the defenders of the Great Wall. Ian replied casually.

"Hey, hey!" Hearing this, Alvin exclaimed exaggeratedly, "Brother, this is something that only those bigwigs in the upper city should care about, you are just a small civilian in the lower city, what are you worried about?"

"Look. He pointed to the girls in the classroom and said, "Yesterday this matter was still in a uproar, but now besides the related figures, who still cares about this matter?"

"As long as it doesn't happen to the world, then these bizarre events are just their after-dinner conversations, and they can't worry about it at all. ā€

"Didn't they think that the eventual consequences of this incident might endanger them?" Ian asked rhetorically.

"Of course I did. But so what?" Alvin smiled mockingly, "We are just a group of powerless mortals, except for holding on to that little luck and begging the goddess of doom not to favor us, even if we really worry about these consequences, do we have the ability to resist and prevent them from happening?"

"So, what if you have the ability?" Ian, looking around at the laughing and chattering students, Ian asked after a moment of silence as he turned back to his friend.

"Even if you have the ability, it depends on whether you have the obligation. Alvin glared and reminded: "Even if you are very powerful, but you are neither a high-ranking bigwig, nor a member of the guard, it is not necessarily a good thing to meddle in such a situation that should not be interfered with." ā€

"I'm already meddling. ā€

"Huh?"

"Yesterday I went to see the corpses of the city guards. Ian lowered his voice.

"How did you get in?" Alvin exclaimed, "It's full of guards outside. ā€

"Sneaked in at night. Ian pouted.

"You're crazy!" the blonde boy jumped up from his chair, attracting an onlooker. He smiled awkwardly at his surroundings, then quickly sat down again and lowered his head.

He whispered with trepidation, "Is it possible to sneak into that kind of place?

Ian rolled his eyes and said, "I've been there, and the guard isn't good anyway." ā€

"Okay, you're amazing. Alvin nodded wordlessly. He felt more and more mysterious about his friend's identity.

"And then, what did you find?"

"The dead female physician is probably Tina's mother. ā€

"You want to help her get revenge?" Alvin shook his head and said, "Although I sympathize with her plight, but as for it, for such a girl who just knows each other, I got involved in this kind of thing." And people don't necessarily know you're helping her. ā€

"You may not believe it, but I have a hunch that this matter may be related to me, so I have to deal with it. Ian paused, then continued, "And people who are capable are always supposed to do something, aren't they?"

"Okay, okay. Alvin shook his head helplessly and said, "Then our Great Prophet and Great Sage." Do you have any clue now?"

"Nothing but one thing...... Ian looked away with a wry smile.

"And what do you know?" the blonde boy asked curiously, only to find that the other man was quietly watching him.

He hurriedly changed his words: "Hmm. If it's a very troublesome thing, you can leave it alone. ā€

"I'll tell you. Ian said cautiously, "But you have to keep your mouth shut. Once this news leaks out, the entire Northern Regions and Xiacheng District will be in chaos. ā€

"Don't worry, I never go out and talk about important things. Alvin nodded earnestly.

Ian beckoned him to turn his head sideways, then leaned into his ear and whispered, "An extremely dangerous demon has run into the Northern Regions. ā€

Immediately afterwards, the blonde boy jumped up again in front of everyone's eyes!

"What do you say!!"
