In a low-rise two-story warehouse, more than a dozen men and women were tied hand and foot, like half a piece of pork transported by a slaughterhouse, and their whole bodies hung naked on the beams of the house.

When Lin An arrived, the bearded man was standing in the house smoking a cigarette, silently watching the miserable situation in the house.

The fresh flesh still has residual warmth, the heart is beating as usual, and the mouth and nose can still breathe.

But no matter how Lin An tried to wake them up, the group of people seemed to have passed out, and there was no reaction except for nerve reflexes.

It didn't take long for even the most basic nerve reaction to be gone, and after carefully feeling the pulse, I found that I had lost the signs of life.

Lin An carefully confirmed that the bodies of this group of people did not have any scars that could be called fatal, and then used the summoner's most basic spiritual energy to take a short look.

Only then did he find that the dozen or so men and women hanging in front of him were already soulless bodies, and all that remained in the room were pieces of flesh.

"It's ...... What's going on?! ”

Lin An opened his mouth to ask, if he hadn't heard of this bizarre way of death, but most of this was the kind of scene that would only happen to a summoner who had exhausted his abilities in a bitter battle.

Ordinary people put it in Warcraft to obtain expensive "meat", and as for summoners, they are "slaves" who need to protect and contribute labor.

Even if it is a robbery, such a strange "corpse" should not be left!

This kind of situation, this kind of picture, it's like...... It's like!

"Blood Sacrifice of the Evil God...... It's just that this man was a little too careful, and didn't get blood everywhere, no! It didn't bleed at all. ”

[This is the blood sacrifice of the evil god?! It seems that the so-called evil god heir should have nothing to do with the Zerg, no matter how the "sacrifice" becomes stronger, as long as it is the Zerg, it is inevitable to seize the essence of life.

Instead of discarding it like it is in front of you! 】

Hearing the bearded man's explanation, Lin An breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and even secretly rejoiced when he saw these intact corpses in front of him.

This is not a pervert who sees the death of his compatriots without the slightest mercy!

It's just plain ...... The rest of the world is just the aftermath of knowing that you won't be on the world's summoner hunting list.

A big stone in my heart fell safely, and it inevitably showed some inappropriate expressions.

Fortunately, he stood in front of the bearded man, and his back was only trembling slightly, so that people couldn't tell whether he was excited or angry.

The bearded man smoked one cigarette after another, just stood in place with Lin An, smoked half a pack in a row, and then slowly continued to explain to him in detail.

"Summoners who have made a pact with the heirs of evil gods will sacrifice their own people for the sake of power.

How many lives do you think this group of guys would have had to take to go from a mediocre apprentice to a full-fledged summoner? ”

The bearded man asked.

"A dozen? More than twenty people? More than thirty people? Or is it more? ”

Lin An thought for a while, looked at the situation at the scene and gave his answer.

The bearded man who received Lin An's reply took a deep breath, calmed down the anger in his heart, and solemnly continued to explain.

"Nearly 100 people...... If the quality of the souls, their state full of resentment, would satisfy the evil gods, the number would be less.

If you are promoted to an intermediate summoner, this number is about a thousand.

And if you are promoted to a high-level summoner, this number is. ”

"10,000 people...... Right?! ”

When Lin An said this, he felt that the root of his tongue was a little bitter, and he had already turned from the previous emotion of being suspicious and reassuring to the feeling of anger.

Kill a hundred people and you will be extraordinary.

This sentence has a certain attraction even to the students of the Nine Academies, not to mention the apprentices who were expelled from the circle by the elites of the Nine Academies.

A thousand people can turn into the elite of summoners, and slaughtering ten thousand people can have the strength that even the upper echelons of the empire should be treated with caution.

This kind of promotion speed is even ashamed of Xiao Tanji.

But under the exponential increase in strength, it is the lives of tens of millions of people, the weight of countless bloody and cruel murders, and the culprit of countless tragedies.

No matter how greedy a person is, as long as he still has a glimmer of conscience in his heart, he should never let his hands be stained with this blood.

It's no wonder that the bearded man has this attitude, even Lin An himself clenched his fists angrily after realizing this, and his nails sank deep into the flesh.

But...... No matter how angry the two of them were, tragedy had already happened.

Now the two of them had to fulfill their duty as summoners to find the culprit who caused this tragedy.

Send him to his dear evil god himself!

For both of them, it didn't take much effort to hunt down the criminals.

Because as long as you can lock on to the target, in front of the sentinel armor with the detector function of the little detective, even if the person is hiding in the most prosperous neighborhood of the metropolis.

It's easy to lock it down and figure it out.

But the question is, how to determine who the bastard who caused this tragedy is.

……

Sirens kept coming into the house from outside the door, and the noise of human figures disturbed Lin An's thoughts, making him frown.

When he turned his head to think about making this group of people quiet, he saw these police officers who were ordered to go to the scene to maintain order.

After seeing the situation at the scene, they all put on a bitter gourd face.

This can't be blamed on them, after all, most of these people are just summoner apprentices, and there is a high probability that they will not be able to touch the threshold of summoners in this life.

When facing transcendent criminals, with their business ability, it is basically equivalent to giving it for nothing, let alone dealing with the case of this kind of "evil god believer".

In this regard, he and the bearded man from the Ninth Academy are the only two professionals on the scene.

casually beckoned the leader, and clearly told the group of people that they did not need to be responsible for the case.

Lin An walked aside with the bearded man and talked to him about the information he had obtained from the scene, and by the way, he sorted out the idea of the investigation.

"This man is very smart, all the clothes and personal belongings of a dozen people have been destroyed, and only three sets of bedding have been given to them to ensure that the group of people will not accidentally freeze to death.

In this case, even if the chains are not pressed, it will be more difficult for the group to escape, and it will be more cumbersome to confirm their identities afterwards.

I've already checked, and there are basically no digestive residues left in the stomachs and intestines of this group.

It was clear that the bastard who was holding them was provided with only minimal water and a very small amount of food.

This will not only make the victim lose the ability to escape, but also reduce the discharge of filth.

It can be seen that the bastard has a lot of experience in dealing with "hostages". It should be a veteran of this way, do you want to apply for some foreign aid from the college? ”

Based on the experience and methods taught to him by the beard, Lin An painted a portrait of the perpetrator with a pitiful combination of pitiful information on the scene.

The bearded man listened, his brow furrowed, as if he had observed something suspicious.

After the Ministry of Forest Security finished speaking, he replied, and at the same time threw out the doubts in his heart.

"I have already sent a message to the academy headquarters, and in the face of this situation, even if a senior summoner leads the team, he must send a message as soon as possible.

But by the time the group arrived, it would take at least three to five days.

It's been too long, we have to do it first!

I've noticed the problems you just mentioned, but ...... Xiao An, have you ever thought about a question.

As I said before, only the soul that contains resentment is the best sacrifice for those guys to "worship" the evil gods.

If it's an official summoner, or a higher-level guy, it's a crime.

Offerings of this magnitude are also a little too few.

But if the apprentice commits the crime, why doesn't he make it more miserable to reduce the need for promotion?

And this method of holding "hostages", the means of destroying mouthpieces, is not as skilled as an apprentice who has only committed a few similar cases can do.

But if it weren't for the apprentices, a dozen people would hold a sacrifice, and let the "sacrifice" run away from the scene, which is really weird......"

The bearded man was still chattering with Lin An analyzing the motives of the person who committed this case.

Although no definite conclusion was reached, both of them knew it in their hearts.

I'm afraid that the enemy they face this time is far more complicated than they think.
