Chapter 223: Red Rose
Tulip Hospital.
Underground dissection room.
The door was locked, and the interior was pitch black.
A playing card suddenly flew in through the crack in the door below, and after a few spins, it came to a quiet stop.
Crash!
The black trench coat was raised, and a figure appeared out of thin air in the dissection room.
Chen Lun didn't turn on the light, and stood quietly in the dark for a few seconds, perceiving the surrounding environment clearly with his five senses.
On the left is a row of sinks, on the right are three dissecting tables, and on the left and right walls are morgues for the corpses.
He then followed the divination instructions and found two adjacent morgue doors, on which were written "302" and "303".
Gently pulling the two cabinet doors open, he dragged out the mortuary bed inside, revealing the bodies of two men, covered with a white cloth.
'Is this ...... those two grave robbers?' It doesn't look like there are any external injuries, how did he die? ’
Chen Lun looked at the corpse for a moment, then shook his head.
Forget it, just ask. ’
As soon as he stretched out his left hand, the black glove [Moonlight in the Palm] that Floy gave him suddenly emitted a black-purple light. This glove is capable of summoning the souls of the dead, provided that the corpse has been dead for no more than twenty-four hours, which is exactly what it requires.
Then a moonlight came from nowhere, shining on the two corpses.
Airplanes!
Invisible sound waves were like a call, scattered in all directions.
But to Chen Lun's surprise, the corpse on the left did not react, only the corpse on the right trembled slightly for a moment, and then a phantom shadow came through the wall and stood in front of Chen Lun in a daze.
"What's your name?"
Chen Lun asked.
"Turner ......"
The phantom replied emotionlessly.
"Why did you choose to steal the coffin from that tomb?"
"Because our children killed an old woman with a slingshot, we had to take the risk of robbing the grave in order to leave the city with our children...... That night, we found a gold coin in front of the tombstone, and we decided that the deceased buried below would be a rich man. ”
Chen Lun didn't pay much attention to this answer, he just wanted to confirm whether these two people were related to the church or the asylum, after all, this meant that Mr. Biles's body had not been officially discovered.
So it was really just a coincidence...... But ......'
A familiar feeling arose spontaneously, and couldn't help but remind Chen Lun of his previous promotion, which was also an incomparable coincidence, but things were reasonable but revealed a little wrong.
Chen Lun asked Turner's revenant for some news.
The revenant soul Mu Ne, who answered all questions, let Chen Lun get some information he wanted.
It turned out that after stealing the coffin, the two found that they couldn't open it at all, so they had to transport it away first. But on the way, I don't know what triggered, the coffin shook violently a few times, a black light flashed, and one of them died on the spot without warning, and fell straight down.
Turner was terrified, thinking that the guy buried in the coffin was some kind of devil, so he left the body and the coffin and ran away alone.
In a panic, he burrowed into a wood.
But he hadn't gone far on the forest path when he ran into a monk of the Church. At that time, he only heard the other party sneer twice, said the word "tomb robber", and even though his left chest hurt, he watched the other party take out his heart and eat it.
In the last moment, he only remembered that the other party's monk's uniform was scarlet and dazzling, and there was a blood-colored rose tattooed on the back of his hand.
The moonlight in the dissection room dissipated, and with it did Turner's ghost.
Chen Lun's brows furrowed.
'Mr. Biles set a trap on the coffin?' One of the tomb robbers was killed immediately after triggering, so it's no wonder that his soul can't be recovered...... Another tomb robber, Turner, ran into the monks of the Red Apple Church while escaping......
He took a deep breath, and according to the description of the revenant, he knew the identity of the monk.
'The Church of the Red Apple's elite team of transcendents...... Red roses. ’
Chen Lun's face sank.
'It's hard to do......
This means that now Mr. Biles's body is likely to fall into the hands of the Red Apple Church, and it will be quite difficult to retrieve it himself.
Not to mention that there is no church of the Red Apple Church in Sunflower City, and the purpose of their dispatch of a "Red Rose" team here is unknown, so they are not sure that they will face such a strong team of transcendents alone.
Chen Lun remembered the divination in the fairy land before, and there were three main forces against Mr. Biles, the Sun Church, the Moon Church, and the Asylum Center.
There is also a hidden force, and that is the Red Apple Church.
The Red Rose team that is now cutting the coffin in Sunflower City is very likely to be the team of the "Bone Carving Monk" Jerome.
'The boss characters that used to appear in the middle and late stages of version 1.0 are about to be matched so soon...... ’
Chen Lun only felt that his pressure had increased suddenly.
Jerome is a transcendent being of [Sequence 5], and even if he doesn't reach this level at this point in time, it's not far off.
Straightening out his thoughts, he sighed secretly, intending to go and see the situation before making plans.
If you can't do anything, then you have to go home empty-handed and find another way.
Chen Lun pushed the mortuary bed into the morgue, then dealt with the traces left by himself, and then performed magic again to "transform into a living person" and appeared outside the autopsy room.
Finally, the magic "levitation" was used to retrieve the replaced playing cards from the crack in the door.
He took one last look at the dissection room and turned to leave.

Sunflower City.
A surgical clinic called "Wadsworth" was closed, with a "Resting" sign hanging on the doorknob.
Inside the clinic, through several standard empty wards, in the deepest part of the aisle, there is an unknown warehouse.
At this time, an ordinary wooden coffin was placed inside, and eight men and women were sitting or standing on the sofas on either side.
They wore scarlet friars' robes, and each of them had a red rose pattern tattooed on their arms, shoulders, or ankles.
These people are all elite transcendents of the Red Apple Church, and they belong to the "Red Rose" team.
"No wonder Captain Jerome brought us to Sunflower City...... It turned out that he had already used the bone carving to divinate the location of the black knight's body. ”
One of the short-haired men spoke.
"The divination methods of the magic faction are no worse than the stars and fate......"
The others looked at a white bone sculpture in front of the coffin, in the form of a little boy only seven or eight years old, sitting quietly on a chair, like a porcelain doll.
This is the bone sculpture of Brother Jerome, and it is said that its original incarnation is a transcendent of [Magical Faction Sequence 5], who was killed by the hands of Archbishop Rafa, and through some kind of ritual, the corpse was prevented from turning into a strange thing.
In the end, the intact corpse was given to Jerome as a ritual material for promotion.
Jerome did not disappoint the church, and used this corpse to successfully promote the [Flesh and Blood Faction Sequence 5-Boneman], and also wanted to use it to go one step further and prepare for the subsequent transcendent transformation.
As long as he completes his transcendent transformation and fully absorbs the power of this [Magic Faction Sequence 5 - Sculptor], Jerome will be promoted to the high rank and become a new archbishop.
At that time, the entire members of the Red Rose Squad will benefit from this.
"But the coffin was tampered with by the Black Knight, and we can't open it for the time being, so we can only wait for Captain Jerome to come back and figure out a way."
A nun with an expressionless face like a dead corpse spoke.
"Why bother opening it...... As long as it is destroyed, the black knight has lost his body, and when the time comes, he can only store other people's bodies, and his strength will be greatly reduced. ”
The other, slightly older man whispered coldly.
"No......
At this moment, the door of the warehouse was opened, and a man in a white lab coat entered.
He is the owner of this clinic and the shadow child of the Red Apple Church in Sunflower City, Dr. Wadsworth.
"Brother Jerome needs Biles's body in order to use the magic of the bone carving to divination, accurately determine the location of the opponent's soul, and strive to capture it with one blow."
The man in white walked slowly.
With a gentle smile on his face, he glanced at the members of the Red Rose Squad.
"It's an important thing that Lord Rafa needs, and it can't be messed up...... Moreover, if you destroy the coffin, the 'Night Curse' applied on it will be activated, and you don't want to be reduced to a soulless shell. ”
The others were silent for a long time.
"When will Captain Jerome be back, Wadsworth, do you know?"
"I don't know."
The doctor shook his head slightly.
"The Sun Church, Moon Church and Shelter in Sunflower City have sent almost all the elite transcendents to hunt down the Black Knights...... Brother Jerome should have taken the opportunity to obtain secret information, and I believe that he will be able to ...... soon"
Dr. Wadsworth's face suddenly turned cold, and he drew the scalpel from his chest and threw it out.
Shout!
With a bang, a rat in the corner of the wall was pinned to the ground, squeaking and squeaking.
None of the members of the Red Rose Squad spoke, and several of them frowned. As elite transcendents, they have a lot of experience, and they quickly think of something.
"Eavesdroppers?"
"It's not like ...... But my gut shouldn't go wrong. ”
Dr. Wadsworth held a scalpel, and the rat stuck in it was still struggling.
He had a puzzled look on his face.
The white-gloved palm pinched the mouse's head, and with a single stroke of the scalpel, it was almost to the extreme, and the mouse was dismembered and stripped in a few breaths, but it was not dead, and the heart the size of a fingernail was still beating.
Glancing, the doctor shook his head.
"It's just an ordinary rat, but it stands to reason that no creature would dare to enter this warehouse...... The aura that you emanate invisibly is enough to scare them away. ”
"So, it's really wrong......"
The other members of the Red Rose Team stood up and rushed to the warehouse door.
Syllable!
The door of the warehouse opened, and a group of seven people rushed out in tacit agreement, leaving a nun to guard the coffin and bone carving.
"Within five minutes, every corner of the clinic within a kilometer radius was thoroughly investigated."
"Yes!"
The door to the clinic opened, and the members of the Red Rose Team scattered.
On an iron rod on the ceiling of the warehouse, an eyeball suddenly disappeared, turning into a "jack of spades" playing card and falling, and the nun and Dr. Wadsworth turned their heads to look, their pupils shrinking.
