Chapter 43: The Demonic Ritual

243 New Year's Road, Hillston.

At the place of the gate, there stood a young man with messy brown hair, and the expression on his face was visibly gloomy.

"Captain."

The moment he saw Simon and Ash and the others, a look of hope seemed to appear on his originally gloomy face.

"Reilly."

Simon's voice was still hoarse, "Open the door." ”

Reilly silently responded, grabbed the doorknob and opened the door for a few people.

Before they could enter the house, Ember and the others smelled a strong smell of blood.

Through the open door, they saw what was inside the house.

On the floor of the living room, a lady in a flamboyant dress was lying.

Blood spilled from her abdomen in all directions, staining her dress and the floor red, creating a horrific picture of hell.

That's Eve, Eve Fisher, the extraordinaire of Simon's Squad.

Ember remembered her.

He had only met each other in the detective agency not long ago, and he remembered that it was a girl with a delicate face and a light smile on the corner of her mouth.

But now, the maiden named Eve has been transformed into a stiff corpse.

Her delicate countenance had been distorted by pain, and it was evident that she had suffered immensely before she died.

She had a large, bloody wound in her abdomen, but the abdominal cavity inside the wound was empty.

The blood had already flowed all over the ground, solidified and clung to the ground, but the internal organs were gone.

"Lorota."

Simon's voice was still hoarse, but there was a trace of bitter hatred in his eyes, and he gritted his teeth and said, "I hope you can communicate with Eve and find her murderer!" ”

In order to protect the scene, when Lorota, the real psychic arrived, they tried not to touch anything, not even bury Eve's body, in the hope that they could find Eve's murderer with the help of psychics!

"I can't do it."

Lorota stood silently beside Eve's corpse for a long time, her face became bitter, "Her spirit is gone, it should be said that the spirit that was originally here has disappeared, and the new spirit knows nothing." ”

After getting the coping method given by Ember, she has been actively playing these days back in Beckland.

Played during the day and at night, and didn't even have time to rest, so he was successfully promoted to the psychic of Sequence 7.

At this stage, the 'corpse collector' pathway will undergo a qualitative change.

Psychics can master a variety of occult rituals related to spirits, and can communicate directly with real-world spirits and wandering spirits.

And that's why Simon would ask her to help.

However, it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice.

Even if it's a psychic.

She could not do anything without a spirit.

"The spirit is gone?"

Simon and Al looked heavy at the same time.

Though the night passed, the spirit would surely dissipate for the most part.

But the rest of the part can also give them some superficial information.

But now Lorota says that the spirit has completely disappeared, which means that someone has interfered with it in advance!

The killer knew that someone would come to investigate, so he cleaned up the scene in advance.

"Then you have to use the most traditional method."

Borgia spoke.

Simon closed his eyes in pain, but his experience allowed him to analyze the case.

"Although the soothsayer is not good at fighting, Eve is already a clown in the base sequence 8, and even if she has only been promoted for a long time, she will not be powerless. But there is almost no trace of a fight at the scene, which means that the person who killed her is at least an extraordinary person in Sequence 7 or even Sequence 6! ”

"Why?"

Reilly, another Simon Squad extraordinary, clenched his fists, "Why did the murderer kill Eve?" ”

"The most common reasons for killing are nothing more than vendetta and love killing."

Ash frowned and gave his guess, "Could it be the revenge of some wild extraordinaire who was tracked down?" ”

As official extraordinaires, they will indeed inevitably offend some wild extraordinaires.

Especially the members of extreme cults such as the Aurora Society, this seems like something they can do.

It's a pity that there are too few clues now, and I can't guess at all.

"There's one more clue."

"Although the smell is very light, there is the smell of cloves and gooseberries in the air, plus the murderer has hollowed out Eve's internal organs, this is more like some kind of ritual. ”

"If it's a ritual,"

Al's expression became solemn, and he said in a deep voice, "That's the Blood Cult or the Rose School!" ”

Beckland has quite a few extraordinaries of the ancient organization.

Among these organizations, there are relatively harmless people such as Dawn of the Essence and the Brotherhood of Pure Light, as well as extreme terrorists like the Aurora Society who believe in the 'true creator'.

And when it comes to rituals, there are only the blood cults that worship demons and the Rose school, which loves bloody sacrifices.

Among them, the Blood Worship Sect masters the 'criminal' sequence pathway, while the Rose School masters the 'prisoner' sequence path.

Just from the name of the potion, you can guess how high the crime rate of the Extraordinary of these two sequence paths is.

Although it is still not known who the murderer is.

But at least the scope can be initially locked, and there is a high probability that it was done by the Blood Worship Sect or the Rose School.

And if you want to further narrow down the range, you can only find out why the other party is eyeing Eve.

And the biggest reason why a wild extraordinary person killed an official extraordinary person is still vendetta.

"Simon"

Al said in a deep voice, "It's best to start with the wild extraordinaries you've tracked down recently, and we'll help investigate the case as well." ”

"Okay."

Simon answered hoarsely, but did not make any further movements, just stood in front of the corpse without saying a word.

Al fell silent until Borgia pulled him and gave him a wink.

Eventually, all four of El Team and Reilly left the living room, leaving the space for Simon.

"Do you smoke?"

Al asked as he pulled out a pack of cigarettes out of nowhere, silently took out a match and lit it for himself.

"Bring me one."

Borgia, who never smoked, said in a deep voice.

Al was not ambiguous, and casually threw the cigarette over.

"Simon and Eve are a couple."

Lorota glanced at the embers on the side and explained softly, "They had already decided to get married next month, but now they ......"

As she spoke, Lorota's eyes darkened.

Although they are both extraordinary, although she and Eve are not even on the same team.

But the friendship between them, who are both women, is very deep.

The day before yesterday, they had gone shopping together to celebrate her promotion to psychic.

Who knew that it had only been two days and that it would evolve into the way it is now?

Ember was silent and didn't say much.

On the way here, he learned some information.

Eve was assigned to Simon's team when she joined the Nightwatch two years ago.

There are three people in the team, Simon, Reilly, and Eve, which is also the standard for Beckland's night watchmen -

The squad is usually composed of three or four people, usually consisting of two Extraordinaries of the Night's Watch and one Extraordinaire of the auxiliary class, which in turn is usually a corpse collector or soothsayer.

Including the El team, it was also standard before the embers arrived.

Eve was promoted to the 'Joker' of Sequence 8 half a month ago, and is about to enter the palace of marriage with Simon.

was supposed to usher in a bright future of both career and love, but now it has become a cold corpse.

"I can't do anything."

Lorota closed her eyes in some pain.
