0110. The Shapeshifter

"Is that you?"

It wasn't just Hodge who was surprised by this sudden reunion, but Soxi was also surprised: "How did you come out of this room, it should be the mayor's wife's room......

"It's a long story. ”

It's not that Hodge deliberately concealed it, but what happened in just one day was too redundant to be sorted out in a few words.

"Let's answer my question first, aren't you supposed to stay at the One Cherry Hotel, why did you suddenly enter the city and walk out of the mayor's room. ”

Suo Xi sighed regretfully: "It should have been like this, but when I got there, I found that the hotel had not been doing business a few days ago, and the nearby shops were almost closed, what a pity, the taste of the cherry fruit wine there was quite outstanding, but I didn't expect to be able to drink it this time." ”

"The inns on Harbor Street were full, and the captain did not let them stay in the cabins until he returned to Stone Fort, so he had to go into town to see if there were any vacant inns that would last a few days. ”

"I didn't expect that not long after I entered the city, the mayor's people found me. ”

Hodge was puzzled: "Sent someone to you? Why? What did you do?"

"What can I do, I've just entered the city gates, and I haven't even found a place to rest and drink a cup of hot tea. ”

Suo Xi shrugged his shoulders: "I'm also quite strange, I didn't realize until I met the mayor that he found me because of my identity." ”

Identity?

The first impression that Hodge could think of was that he was Dunbar's personal guard, could it be that this city lord needed to ask Dunbar for something?

Sothy seemed to sense that Hodge might be thinking wrong, shook his head and said, "It's not what you think, he came to me because of this." ”

He pointed to his eyes, which were a pair of pupils that constricted into a near line, similar to feline eyes, which looked strange on a human body, but also had the advantage of being quite recognizable. Almost unique.

"I'm a witcher, at least...... I used to be a witcher, understand? He came to me to entrust me with a mission. ”

"Demon hunting commission?" Hodge asked.

"Maybe, it's not sure what it is. Thorsi let out a breath, "You'll have to see it before you know." ”

"I thought that with your current status, you would not have accepted the commission of the demon hunter a long time ago. ”

Hodge was a little puzzled, witchers were essentially similar to mercenaries, they didn't kill monsters or monsters out of a sense of justice, but as a job, and they would be paid accordingly.

The life of the witchers is not very poor, but they are by no means rich, and although they have earned a lot of gold from the entrusted missions, the raw materials for potions, decoctions, sword oil, and other things used in battle are not necessarily cheap.

Not to mention that weapons and armor also need to be maintained, which is also a real expense.

That's why the Demon Hunter wanders around, constantly releasing bounty commissions.

Sossi is now serving Dunbar, and the Claire family must be short of these money, he shouldn't have to worry about money at all, so why is it necessary for him to accept the bounty commission at this time?

Soxi closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and slowly spat out through his nose before answering.

"Who knows, the demon sent me yes, maybe I'm still reminiscing about my time as a witcher, and if that hadn't happened, I should still be walking freely on the land of the Empire. ”

That thing?

Which thing?

"Say no more. ”

Sossi patted him on the shoulder: "I'm going to go to the Fusenck Medical Center to see the condition of the body now, do you want to go with me?"

Hodge nodded, they can't get out of the city anyway, in this case, it is better to participate in what is happening now, maybe they can find a way out of the illusion.

He said to Daphne, "Dai, take the two little ladies back to the hotel to make up for sleep, and I will come back later." ”

Suo Xi snapped his fingers and nodded: "That's right, just leave the dirty work to us, ladies go and rest first." ”

........................

"It'sβ€”heckβ€”there. ”

The doctor in charge of the team tried to block his nose and mouth, but the strong rancid smell still invaded his olfactory system.

The smell was far stronger than that of ordinary corpses, and it was mixed with a distinctive, strong sour smell.

The doctor hadn't been to the basement where the corpses were stored for several days, after all, the smell was not acceptable to ordinary people, and even if tampons and mouth balls were stuffed, it still couldn't offset the stench.

The doctor looked at the two of them with great envy at this time, if possible, he really wanted to study the nasal structure of the two, how to filter out this unbearable stench?

As the three approached, Soxi pulled back the cloth cover of the corpse, and lying on it was a male corpse with his abdomen dissected, probably dead for more than a week, judging by the color of his skin.

A large part of the stench in the air emanated from the corpse's abdomen.

"Is this the victim?" Hodge asked.

"Nope. Suo Xi's face was heavy.

"That's what the mission is for. ”

"Huh?" Hodge didn't react for a moment.

"Where's the other body?" asked the doctor, turning to the doctor.

The doctor pulled open the cloth cover of the other corpse, and Sothy was thoughtful, apparently he had been informed of the situation, but Hodge was quite surprised!

This corpse is exactly the same as the one just now, it is exactly the same, and the abdomen is also cut, but compared to the previous one, when standing in front of this corpse, the stench is significantly reduced.

"Twin brothers?"

Sossi shook his head in denial of his suspicions: "This is 'a person'. You take a closer look at the physical features of the corpse. ”

Hodge was quite familiar with corpses, and quickly saw what was wrong.

The two bodies were identical, even the scar from a burn wound on the arm, in the same location, and even the shape of the marks were identical.

It is also under the skin of the abdomen section, and the position of the organs and intestines is also completely consistent.

Even twin brothers. It may also be impossible to be completely consistent in these respects.

"What's going on?" Hodge asked.

"He's a soldier in Windhaven, the second body is supposed to be his own, and the first ......"

Suo Xi paused, took a breath and said, "That is, the more stinky one, as you can see, is a fake that is completely consistent with his appearance and characteristics, and it is the main reason why the mayor asked me to investigate and solve it this time." ”

The city hall called the imposters "shapeshifters." ”
