Chapter 296: Under the Sun

It's noon.

This unexpected encounter has finally come to an end.

Catherine's previous spell eventually dissipated, and the investigator and witch trapped in it were brought back to shore.

Even the fragments of beast-shaped flesh scattered in the shallow sea were recovered one by one by the investigators, and then placed in order in a position that would not be wet by the sea.

And this time, in order to avoid suspicion, Ronald did not choose to go into the sea to catch debris.

He stayed on shore the whole time.

On the one hand, he was able to take care of the investigator who was not lightly injured, and at the same time, he was also able to prevent the witch from escaping, who was also injured.

So the investigators who were still able to move continued to work, and when the last piece of debris was fished up, it was time for afternoon tea.

Walk in front of neatly arranged pieces of animal-shaped pieces of meat.

Clark looked at the results in front of him, then nodded with satisfaction.

His last spell was very successful.

Because the witch Catherine, who was attached to the body of the beast-shaped flesh, was precisely cut by him, and then sank into the sea together.

So he walked two steps to the part of Catherine's body that was attached to it.

Clark crouched down and began to scrutinize the body of the original canon holder of the Primordial Witch Society.

- Yes.

- Catherine is dead.

— and very thoroughly.

Not only was it a continuous series of extreme spells and battles, but at the end of Clark's spell cut off the beast-shaped piece of flesh, this extremely threatening spell immediately eroded her body.

It was then submerged in seawater......

All in all, the original canon holder is too dead to die.

However, maintaining his movements, the satisfaction on Clark's face quickly faded.

Eventually, he even began to search for Catherine's corpse with such a violent movement that the corpse became miserable with his movements.

"What about the original texts?"

"Where's this guy's original text?"

He muttered in a troubled tone.

Maintaining the action of searching, another few seconds passed.

Finally, Clark, who had found nothing, turned his head to look at Ronald, and did not hide the tension in his tone at all:

"Luo ...... Mr. Ronald. ”

"You've searched this guy's body before......"

Seeing Clark's reaction, Ronald still doesn't know the current situation.

Immediately stretched out his empty hands and showed them to Clark, who then went on to explain:

"When I searched, I found something like a booklet on this guy's waist, and the spell was activated at that time."

“……”

Hearing Ronald's answer, Clark immediately turned around and touched the corpse without giving up.

Not to mention the waist.

But after searching all the places where he could hide things, he couldn't find anything in the shape of a pamphlet, and the original text that was still on Catherine's body during the previous battle didn't even have a small piece of paper at the moment.

So it was right.

Clark remembered the last piece of beast-shaped flesh to escape.

It can't be that thing that escaped with the original text, right?

If that were the case, even if Her Majesty came to the beach herself, it would be impossible to fish that thing out of the Sunshine Ocean!

With a hint of struggle, Clark whispered the polygraph's incantation:

"Volume 11, page 260, item 6."

Standing up from the corpse, he looked around and asked in a loud voice:

"Guys, did you see a booklet today?"

"That's Catherine's original canon!"

The others immediately replied:

"Nope."

"I don't see it."

“……”

The lie detector tells Clark that the companions are not deceiving themselves.

This original book of the [Primordial Witches] is indeed not on this beach at the moment.

After bowing his head and pondering for a moment, he made his final decision:

"Guys, there is no room for error in this matter."

"We continue to stay here, Hermes, you go back to the city immediately, tell the bureau about the situation here, and ask them to notify the professional fishing personnel of the Navigation Bureau to come."

"Yes!"

An investigator immediately responded, and ran towards Springs without looking back.

I watched as the figure of this subordinate disappeared into view.

Clark then turned around and walked over to Ronald and nodded apologetically:

"Mr. Ronald, I'm sorry."

"I know you're not suspicious, but please help maintain the scene here."

"Now I really can't guarantee the safety of the scene."

Ronald shrugged his shoulders irrefutably:

"No problem, that's as it should be."

“……”

Answering Clark's question, Ronald felt a little uneasy.

Although it was a few kilometers away from the previous location, seeing that the time was now in the afternoon, the great witch who had gone out with him in the morning had not come here.

Considering the opponent's exaggerated range-seeking ability.

A not-so-rosy idea immediately came to Ronald's mind.

First of all, it can't be that there was a fight on the side of the Great Witch.

Otherwise, pay attention to the engagement of this original book holder, there is no reason to hide from Ronald at such a distance.

So......

The Great Witch who owns the original text "Introduction to Fluid Mechanics".

Can her true strength catch up with the beast-shaped piece of flesh that drilled into the sun-sinking ocean?

At least with that kind of reconnaissance ability.

Within such a range, the Great Witch would definitely be able to lock the other party's location.

Then......

Thinking of this, Ronald shook his head with a wry smile.

"Huh-"

If that's the case.

I can probably only sigh that the other party's experience is old.

Finding a clean spot and sitting down, he began to look out at the endless sunrise in front of him.

On the quiet sea, the tide moves in and out rhythmically.

The sun shines on the undulating shore, creating a pleasant surface of water that looks like an afternoon of leisure, and no one can tell that this was the site of a battle without diving underwater.

Whether it's a reef, a corpse, or a trace of a spell.

They have all been completely submerged by the sea.

So......

Do you want to tell the investigator next to you about your suspicions?

Thinking of this, Ronald turned his head to look at the investigator on the side.

Although there is no need for these people to work now, in terms of dedication, these investigators are still very down-to-earth.

While the Springs support hadn't come yet.

Several of them had already surrounded the witch, who had been injured a lot, and began to use the methods of the Investigation Bureau to extract a confession.

The screams that came from time to time were proof that the witch was not very comfortable right now.

"Still ......"

"Forget it......"

Shaking his head slightly, Ronald leaned back and narrowed his eyes.

After all, he is just a knowledge consultant, and the job he is assigned is to ensure that the big witch does not cause trouble in the city.

On the premise that the other party has imparted a lot of knowledge to himself.

Don't ask for trouble at this time.
