Examining a corpse is obviously not a pleasant task, but after digging up the grave and finding the body, Duanmu Huai quickly discovers what the problem is.

"See?"

Duanmu Huai pointed to the corpse in front of him, looked at An and asked, who turned pale and shook his head desperately.

"I, I, I, I, I didn't see anything!"

“…………………”

Duanmu Huai glanced at An speechlessly, then looked at the corpse again, stretched out his hand to pick off the other party's belly——— with Duanmu Huai's movements, I saw a large number of maggots and cockroaches and other insects and mice gushing out of it, seeing this scene, not only An almost fainted, but even the mayor and others were ugly, and they all stepped back.

Forget it, let's go straight to the conclusion.

Duanmu Huai didn't bother to do anything, and turned his head directly to look at the mayor.

"Mayor Mare, I would like to ask, how many victims are there?"

"Well, let me think about it......... Four ......... No, five. ”

"So among the five victims, are all women disemboweled?"

"This ..............."

Hearing Duanmu Huai's question, the mayor was stunned for a moment, and looked at the garrison captain next to him suspiciously, while the latter touched his beard and frowned.

"That's right, the disembowelments are all women, and most of the men die from having their throats bitten or their hearts pierced."

"That's right."

"That's right???"

"That's right, actually, ..............."

As he spoke, Duanmu Huai stretched out his hand and touched the wound again.

"These wounds were not cut from the outside, but from the inside——— that is, something came out of the stomachs of these people and killed them."

"Liar!"

Hearing Duanmu Huai's speculation, everyone's faces changed drastically, and even An was taken aback.

"Really? Mr. Knight? ”

"As for whether it is enough, we can dig up a few other corpses and take a look?"

Practice is the only criterion for testing truth.

Although they were reluctant, everyone still helped dig up several other corpses, and after examining them again, sure enough, as Duanmu Huai speculated, all the female victims were broken out of their stomachs by something and then died.

"But, but what could it be? We didn't find anything! ”

Aware of this, the captain of the garrison turned pale, and he was sure that every time they surveyed the scene, they found nothing strange. If, as Duanmu Huai said, something escaped from the victim's stomach, then how could they not see it?

"Maybe they slipped, some animal cubs will run away when they are born."

Duanmu Huai replied casually, which made the other people's faces even more ugly.

"So, Lord Inquisitor, you mean, what monster came out of the bellies of these ladies, killed the others, and ran away?"

"There are indeed traces of gnawing on the corpses, well, it's not surprising that many animal cubs are born and need predation for nutrition and physical strength........."

"Is there really such an animal?"

Hearing this, An Du couldn't help but ask, this is really too appalling.

"I remember there was, well, it seemed to be an insect called a twid, and their offspring would eat their parents to replenish their nutrition after they were born, and then they would grow quickly and survive."

"Uh......... I'm dizzy ............"

Hearing Duanmu Huai's answer, An reached out and pressed his forehead and muttered to himself, while the expressions of the others were not good-looking.

"Forget it, there's nothing fun in the animal world."

Duanmu Huai stood up, waved his hand, and then saw the corpses float back into the coffin, and then fall into the grave again, and in the blink of an eye, they were buried again. Seeing this scene, everyone, including the mayor of the town, didn't dare to take a breath, this powerful power is obviously not an ordinary adventurer, and now ......... They can only ask for more blessings for themselves.

"Mayor Mare."

Duanmu Huai looked at the mayor again and asked.

"Are there any rumors in town? Like a monster or something? ”

"This ..............."

In the face of Duanmu Huai's inquiry, the mayor was silent for a while, pondering for a while, but finally shook his head.

"Sorry, I don't care much about the gossip in town..............."

"That's right!"

At this moment, a soldier clapped his hands as if he had thought of something.

"I remember that Helen's little ghost said before that he saw some monsters or something!"

"Is there such a thing?"

"That's right, wasn't everyone in the town panicked at the time, and the little ghost showed off this to his friends, but he was caught and beaten by his mother, and I guess he hasn't gotten out of bed yet."

"Take him for a show."

It didn't take long for a thin and thin imp to be brought over, but the moment he saw Duanmu Huai, the little imp collapsed to the ground in fright and cried.

"Wow————— Mom, I know it's wrong! Don't feed me to the devil! I'm not delicious, wow, ahh ”

“………………………………”

Duanmu Huai now had an urge to smash him to death with a hammer.

"Hey..............."

Looking at the little ghost who couldn't stop crying, Ann sighed helplessly, and then stepped forward and reached out and gently touched the child's head.

"Don't worry, we won't eat you."

"Really? Pretty sister? ”

Hearing Ann's comfort, the little ghost who was crying and chirping just now suddenly changed his face, staring at Ann with wide eyes and asking.

"Sure, so you can tell us all the things you said before, do you tell us again? Is that what monster you said you saw? ”

"Ahh...............h

Hearing this, the little ghost smiled and reached out to touch his nose.

"Actually, it's not a big deal, that is, a few days ago, everyone was bored in the house and didn't let me go out, I felt bored, so I planned to go out and sneak out to pick up a few rocks to play, but halfway up the mountain, I saw a particularly terrible monster!"

"What kind?"

"Uh-huh..............."

In the face of Ann's inquiry, the little ghost frowned.

"It looks like a person, but its hands and feet are very long, like a spider, and it seems to be afraid of the sun. At that time, I saw that the thing accidentally screamed, as if it had been discovered, and the monster was going to come and get me, but when the sun was shining, it hesitated for a moment and went into the mine. ”

"Caves?"

Duanmu Huai raised his eyebrows, and the mayor of the town hurriedly introduced.

"That's what we're mining for......... It's just that because of the decrease in mineral deposits, this period of time has been sealed! ”

"Send a few people to see if he's telling the truth."

Duanmu Huai angrily grabbed An's hand and pulled her up, and then glared viciously at the little ghost who was looking at An. The latter noticed Duanmu Huai's eyes and suddenly stiffened in fright, but even so, his squinting gaze couldn't help but slip towards An's body.........

"Take this little ghost away."

"Yes."

At this moment, Duanmu Huai completely became the commander here, and the others could only follow his orders to act, and soon, several guards separated and left with the little ghost, who even if he was taken away by the guards, he reluctantly turned his head to look at An, as if he wanted to look at her a few more times.

"Hee-hee-hee-hee........."

It wasn't until the little ghost and the others left that An looked at Duanmu Huai with a smile.

"Mr. Knight, you're jealous."

"You should also be careful, don't always look like you don't care, it's easy to be taken advantage of."

Duanmu Huai snorted lightly, looked at Ann and said. At this moment, Ann is still dressed in the uniform of Manalia College on weekdays, not to mention the miniskirt and over-the-knee socks......... Well, it's a bit too much in this world.

"Huh? That's still a child. ”

"Don't you know that people are big ghosts? That guy keeps looking under your skirt, next time you'd better change your clothes, like Mary would. ”

What Mary wears is a popular dress for women in the fog capital, not only the long skirt on the outside, but also the inside is important. Mary's skirt is not stockings and sunstrings, but a trousers, that is to say, Mary's dress is to wear underwear on the inside, a white shirt and a trouser outside, and then put on a dress and boots——— this dress is convenient and will not go away, it is quite conservative and easy to use.

At least even if someone lifts their skirts, they can't see anything.

"Mr. Knight, you seem to like Mary, huh?"

Hearing this, An squinted his eyes with interest and looked at Duanmu Huai.

"Of course, the child is smart and obedient, and her abilities are very useful."

"And it's beautiful, isn't it?"

"Uh-huh..............."

Duanmu Huai nodded, and didn't say anything more, because at this time, Mary and Grace had already come to meet them.

"How's it going?"

Looking at the tired expressions of the two, Duanmu Huai said hello and asked, while Mary's expression was a little complicated.

"Uh......h Well, I did see something, but I don't know how to describe it......... In a word......... The colors seem to be very similar. ”

“？？？”

Frankly, Duanmu Huai had no idea what Mary was talking about.

According to Mary, she saw some kind of light in the woman's belly, that is, there was something in the belly of the pregnant woman, but further things were difficult for Mary to put into words. It's just that it feels like the light seems a little unusual, but Mary can't say what kind of unusual method it is.

"Hmm......... It's still a nuisance. ”

Mary couldn't describe the point, Duanmu Huai didn't understand her words after listening to it for a long time, there was no way, after all, Duanmu Huai didn't have golden pupils, and the ghost knew what Mary was seeing......... Well?

Wait a minute?

Thinking of this, Duanmu Huai's eyes lit up.

If he remembers correctly, there is a sixth-level magic "Unity of Body and Mind" on his Pink Book, which can establish a connection with the target, like "protecting others", and can also share spells——— so can Mary's golden pupils be shared with herself?

"Mary, I have a way to try."

Duanmu Huai looked at Mary, and then said solemnly.

"Huh? Can Mr. Duanmu use my golden pupils? ”

Mary was taken aback by hearing Duanmu Huai's explanation, while Duanmu Huai shrugged her shoulders.

"Whether it will work or not, try it to know, do you want to give it a try?"

"Okay, no problem."

For Duanmu Huai's request, Mary didn't care at all and nodded. Then Duanmu Huai stretched out his hand, and then summoned the "Pink Book".

"Hmm......... This is the first time to use it, you should also pay attention and let me know if there is any problem. ”

Standing in the room, Duanmu Huai looked at Mary and said, casting spells must not be done outside, so Duanmu Huai asked the mayor to borrow a room, of course, just in case, Ann and Gureya were also on standby.

"Okay."

"So ............"

After receiving Mary's answer, Duanmu Huai closed his eyes, then reached out and pressed his hand on the Pink Book, and soon, a pink light emerged from it, and then hit Mary directly.

“————————！”

At the moment when the pink beam hit Mary, the girl's body suddenly stiffened, and she could feel that Duanmu Huai's fiery and huge soul was entering her body. The impact made the girl almost weaken her legs and sit on the ground.

"Woo...............!"

However, the next moment, Mary couldn't help but moan.

"Miss Mary? Are you okay?? ”

Hearing Mary's voice, Gurea asked uneasily, and Mary covered her mouth and shook her head with a blushing face. She had never experienced anything like this, and she could clearly feel the presence of another person in her body, who seemed to melt together, as if they were one with each other, sharing their souls and senses.

Mary could feel the huge soul slowly but surely sinking into it. The spirit power that burned, scorched everything like a flame broke through Mary's defenses and entered the depths of her heart.

"Uh......... Arc............ There......... If you go with you, it's going to break........."

The girl covered her mouth tightly, using the last shred of reason to stop herself from screaming, but Mary didn't notice at this moment that Ann and Gurea were staring at her with wide eyes——— in their eyes, the blonde beautiful girl was blushing at the moment, her body trembled slightly, and her wheezing sound scratched their hearts like a cat's claws, just hearing Mary's whisper, the two of them felt that somewhere deep inside their hearts seemed to be itching, Mary's voice was like a feather, It keeps tickling their hearts.

"Gooo ————"

Ann's eyes widened, she swallowed a mouthful of saliva, her eyes staring at Mary without blinking. Beside her, Guréa blushed and covered her eyes with her hands—but her red ears showed that it meant nothing.

Finally, the ritual of the divine art came to an end.
