Chapter 31: Information about the Society of Roses
"You asked me about it, there's news."
When Lynn heard this, she couldn't help but squint her eyes slightly.
It's only been a few days since he asked Erin to help find the news of the Rose Society, but he didn't expect the news to come out so quickly.
The information that Lynn gave to Erin was only the name of the organization, and there was no information about any personnel, as explained to him at the time.
"In order to save money, most of the people in the Rose Society are replaced by men in black, and according to the current timeline, the only few people with single independent paintings have not joined the Rose Society for the time being, so we don't know any other information except for one name."
So, Lynn can't come up with much information.
But what I didn't expect was that Irene's operation efficiency was so high, and when the information was extremely scarce, it only took a few days to get the relevant information.
"Don't be too happy." Erin glanced at him and said, "I'm just saying, there's news, but I don't know if this news will be useful to you." β
Without waiting for the teenager on the other side to answer, she continued: "About half a year ago, there was an extremely bad crime in Catalena Cityβyou should know this very well. β
Lynn was stunned and immediately began to reminisce.
Half a year ago, the heinous crime incident ......
That's right, he really knows it.
Around March this year, there were several murders on the glorious road of Catalena City.
The area around Guanghui Road is a residential area in the city of Catalena, but its conditions are not very good.
The reason is that most of the people who live in it are idle people who only know how to eat the subsidies given by the government.
Because of this, there is a more abundant security force around Guanghui Road than other streets and residential areas.
However, it was in this situation that one night, a bloody head was hung high on the chandelier at the intersection of Guanghui Road.
As soon as such a vicious murder incident occurred, it naturally caused panic throughout the city, and the city guards poured out of their nests for this, vowing to arrest him.
However, it was not found.
After the murder was completed, the murderer seemed to have disappeared from the world, and the city guards could not find him even though they were able to investigate from house to house.
It would be nice to say that it was just not found, but when the city guards were searching, another head hung on the street lamp again that night.
Now, no matter what kind of punishment the murderer will receive, the city guards must have come first to the great purge.
However, the city guards changed batch after batch, and they almost changed the boss, but they still failed to find the murderer.
And, in this case, the murderer's methods are becoming more and more ferocious.
At first it was just a head, then it was limbs, and then it was a ....... stitched together with a needle and thread Living.
The murderer's methods became more and more ferocious, and because the city guards could not catch him, his arrogance became more and more arrogant, and even ....... began to leave traces about themselves.
Sometimes he deliberately exposed some footprints, sometimes he dropped a weapon stained with his own blood, and even left a whole set of blood-stained clothes.
However, even so, the city guards still did not catch it.
This incident finally alarmed the high-level of the kingdom, and after His Majesty the King officially spoke, the murderer was finally caught.
Lynn recalls the cause and effect of the incident, but does not find anything related to what she needs to investigate.
"Does that person have anything to do with the Rose Society?"
"As far as I know, it's very relevant." Erin said lightly, "After you said that the 'Rose Society' had something to do with the god of lust, I went to find some information about the god of lust, and that's why I set my sights on this matter, or rather, this person." β
"It has been written that the god of lust and sin can be regarded as extreme hedonists, and that his followers are willing to do anything for the sake of thrill pleasure, regardless of whether or not these practices are socially acceptable to others."
"These fanatical hedonists pursue strangers and more exciting perverted pleasures that cause their exhausted bodies and minds to feel some level of new orgasm."
However, after experiencing the pleasure of something once, a lustful believer will not feel anything if he does the same thing a second time, just like taking drugs, and the dose should be increased every time he smokes it. If the dose is not enough, rapid withdrawal symptoms can entangle lazy believers, who are forced to try more extreme methods of pleasure from body to mind. β
"So, that's why that murderer's movements are getting worse every time?" Lynn rubbed the table and muttered, "Because repeating the last operation will not bring pleasure to their souls, they must and can only use more brutal means than the last time...... As you described, his behavior does resemble that of the Lust/Cultist. β
"But that alone doesn't prove that he has anything to do with the Rose Association we're looking for."
"That's true." Erin spread her hands, "If we go through the judicial process normally, we might be able to ask him now, and let him tell us in person if he has something to do with the Rose Society." β
"It's a pity that that person has been hung on the same street lamp by your father by the same means."
β.......β
"If it were all there was to it, I wouldn't have come to you." Erin stroked the strands of hair scattered on her forehead, "I don't dare to come up and ask for credit until the thing is done perfectly." β
She didn't know where to find a piece of paper and a pen, and then delicately wrote and drew on them.
When she was done, she pushed the paper over.
"The person has been arrested, and the credit has been robbed, and the city guard has lost interest in continuing the investigation and hastily closed the case. It was thanks to their laziness that I was able to find this symbol in the murderer's dwelling, which they had burned. β
Lynn stared intently at the strange pattern on the paper.
It is framed by a rose flower and wrapped in an eerie symbol representing the male and female symbols.
"According to my research, the symbol in the middle represents the god of lust/evil, and the rose flower underneath it is very likely to be the symbol of their order."
"Of course, the last sentence is just my guess." Erin knocked on the table and said, "At this point, there is no further information from my investigation. β
"So, is this bit of information useful to you?"
She looked up at Lynn.
The other party was bowing his head, as if thinking about something.
Erin was not in a hurry, holding her head and waiting for Lynn to answer.
Actually, Lynn wasn't thinking about it.
- He's watching a barrage.
γUseful!γ Definitely useful!! γ
[I remember, it's mentioned in the plot that after the protagonist first met the Rose Society, the people of the Rose Society described to the protagonist what they had done for the god of lust in the past - when they were looking for items related to the god of lust/sin, they had obtained a "resurrection ritual", and this ritual was very likely to revive the god of lust/sin. γ
[It's just that it was also said in the plot that the ritual failed, and after the ritual was completed, no reaction appeared.] γ
[None of the above is important, the important thing is that they once mentioned that in the preparation of the ceremony, a compatriot was sacrificed for it. γ
[And the surname or name of the sacrificial "compatriot" is Brest.] γ
Lynn suddenly looked up and asked, "Erin, did you know his name when you investigated that person?" β
Erin nodded and said, "Yes." β
"The man called."
"βLori Brest."
