Updates are coming!
====================================================================
As for the plan that Emperor Picca was going to carry out tonight, Curris was in the know. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Why is he able to serve as a national-level investigator? In addition to his extraordinary ability, the family power behind him is also a reason. The friendship between the Curris family and the Imperial Royalty has existed for a long time, and this friendship has been forged by years and tribulations. That's why His Majesty the Emperor can trust him so much and make him a special person directly under the Emperor himself.
And such a special position is often arranged by the emperor to do some core and underground work, and there will be some unscrupulous content added outside the dark level. Dealing with the contradictions between the great nobles of Genk and the servants of the Sea Clan is just one part of it. It is precisely because one of the parties involved in the incident is a big aristocratic force that the royal family has always been an obstacle to it, so it will be handed over to Curis to deal with.
However, in the face of the sudden incident, Curris was also caught off guard. The things that have been sealed since the Continental War, as the executive figure around the emperor, naturally know a little bit about it. He can also understand what Wang Xiaoming told him, but he didn't expect it to appear so suddenly.
At this moment, he felt as if he was enveloped in a thick fog around him, and slowly pulled himself into it.
"Is the only place where the dead were found? As he got closer to the scene of the crime, an inexplicable nervousness gradually seeped into Curris's heart, and he began to ask the guards in front of him loudly.
"Yes, if there is a situation elsewhere, the guards stationed there will definitely issue an announcement. ”
"And if it's in a place with a large number of guests, it will naturally cause a bigger commotion, and we can't be unaware. Curris himself added that he knew it was just a matter of needing this conversation to ease the strange tension in his heart. Obviously, this kind of emotion did not appear in the course of the previous investigation, so why did it suddenly ...... today?
This inexplicable uneasiness became more and more intense as the two walked outside the bathroom.
"Strange, why is it so quiet inside?" the guard entered the bathroom first, and found that there was no one here, and even the bloodstained corpses he had seen before were gone, and the bathrooms were neat and tidy, and the doors of each cubicle were well covered.
Curris came in with him, and found that everything was neat and tidy, and-
It's quiet.
"Are you sure the other guards didn't come?" said Curris, looking at the squire in confusion, who couldn't have suddenly vanished.
"No, they did. I went to the hall to report the details to His Majesty the Emperor on the orders of the Captain of the Guard, so it is impossible for no one to ......" But having said that, there was really no one at the scene, which was beyond the comprehension of the guards themselves.
"And the doors to this compartment are all closed...... "The guard walked to the front of the compartment door, trying to open it to get a glimpse of what's inside.
"Wait!" Curris looked at the row of closed and unclosed doors, and suddenly thought of something bad, quickly pulled the guard behind him, and took out a long club-like weapon from the spatial ring in his hand.
"How ......"
"Don't you think it's strange, it just so happens that all the doors are just right to be covered. Can you remember if the doors were all neatly covered as they are now?"
"Obviously not, but when we opened the door, we found the Duke's body inside. ”
Curris nodded, "That's right, so there are no traps inside, and the location of the other guards may be ......"
He didn't speak anymore, neither did the guard, and both of them could guess a little.
So, it's better to be cautious. ”
With Curris in front, holding a long stick in both hands, he looked at the door of the compartment in front of him with a wary expression, and the entire bathroom was silent, and the little noise from the conversation of the guests that could be heard a few moments ago had disappeared at this time. Curris was on guard, and after reaching a stage of enlightenment, he moved.
He kicked open the door of the chamber, revealing several heads and bodies, the remains of which were piled up and filled the entire chamber with blood.
Curris took another breath of cold air, it was so weird, so weird that his scalp went numb.
So he kicked the remaining doors open one by one, kick after kick. Without exception, it was all the wreckage of the torso that had been separated by the head. The head and body were "perfectly" split into two pieces, and the blood flowed to the ground, which was extremely terrifying.
"It's cruel...... Curris has been working underground for the Empire for years, and this level of phenomenon is uncomfortable, but it is still within the limits of tolerance. What worries him is that if the guy who inflicted this poisonous hand does not care about it at all, then how many people in the palace and in the hall of the party will die? It has only been nearly half the time since the party began, and if the other party is not found, there will definitely be victims. And it was not only the guards who suffered from the murder, but also other noble officials.
"The situation is very bad, you go and tell Your Majesty first, let Your Majesty send the soldiers in the palace to collect the various doorways, and then ...... here" Curris turned to the guards and gave instructions, but before he could finish speaking, he stopped.
Curris was completely stunned.
The head of the guard in front of him was "detached" from his body. As if the head had been dismembered by a skilled chef with a deft anatomical technique, the skull slowly tilted to one side and "slided", and countless blood dripped out of the neck, until finally the whole head fell off, and the human body fell in the direction of Curis. Silently, just die.
Finally...... What's going on......
Curris's mind went blank, and a sudden fear invaded all parts of his mind, and at this moment he seemed to have the illusion that in just a second, he would be in a different place like the guard in front of him. Death became a conscious object at this moment, stretching out his hands and encircling his body, as if to pull him into the realm of death.
The chill of death has come. It was in the same part of his neck, cold and cold, and Curris felt that it was a huge scythe, which was going around his neck from behind, and in the next second, his head would hit the ground.
"Curris !!"
The chill receded, the scythe had been withdrawn, and death was gone.
This shout made Curris regain a little consciousness, and he looked slightly at the source of the sound, it was Wang Xiaoming calling him.
Wang Xiaoming looked at Curris's trance-like appearance, breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, frowned again and looked at the terrifying corpses on the ground and in the compartment, and said solemnly, "Are you okay?"
A 'Are you alright?' question made Curris wake up instantly. He had recovered, and immediately felt that he was covered with cold sweat all over his back.
"It's okay now, I almost died. ”
Seeing the other party's frightened look, Wang Xiaoming smiled, "Then I really chose the right choice to come with me, you have to thank me." ”
"Of course......" Curris was palpitating, first in a cold sweat and now gasping for air.
"Of course. ”
