Chapter 187: The Beginning of the Hunt (8)
"The Justin you mentioned, how does he look, can you tell me, it's been so long, you still remember him, it seems that you used to have a good relationship with him, you should be a very good friend......" After finding the key point, Aaron immediately talked to the villager.
When the villager heard this, he shook his head and said, "No, no, no, I don't know that guy at all!"
"Then why are you so impressed by him?" Aaron frowned slightly after hearing this, feeling a little strange, if he was not familiar, how could he have been dead for so long, and it would have a deeper impact.
"That's what you don't know, this guy Justin is a weirdo, mysterious all day long, he doesn't know what he's talking about, and his behavior is also very weird......" The villager said the reason why he had a deep influence on Justin.
According to the villager, Justin was still normal when he was a child, but for some reason, since he was twenty years old, he became very weird, and he didn't know what he was doing all day long, and he was mysterious.
At first, the villagers thought it was strange and went to communicate with him, but they didn't talk to him normally at all, and over time, the villagers got used to it and didn't care about him anymore.
It wasn't until about six or seven years later that Justin suddenly committed suicide.
"Well, Justin's grave should be in the previous cemetery, why didn't I find it before!Is there really something missing!" Aaron was sure that Justin was a villager here, and should be buried in the previous cemetery after his death.
In order to confirm the situation, Aaron once again told the villagers: "In this case, that Justin should have been sold in the cemetery to the south......"
"No, Justin's body wasn't buried there, and the villagers thought it was strange at the time, and they didn't bury him. Instead, it sank into a nearby swamp, where I and a few others went to sink the body, which I remember very well......"
The villagers' answers, as Aaron had predicted, were not buried in the cemetery, but were otherwise disposed of. It wasn't that he missed it when he looked it up before.
Next, Aaron successfully learned from the villagers that Justin's body was sunk in the swamp where the demon first appeared, and he also knew the approximate location.
Knowing this, Aaron hurried out of the village and hurried towards the swamp.
After arriving in the swamp this time, Aaron took out the pocket watch he had used to detect the demon before, and found that the demon had returned to the swamp.
But this time. Aaron wasn't as worried as last time, because from Geralt's mouth, he had already learned that this evil spirit was actually not very powerful, and it could not pose a threat to himself, at most it would cause harm to some ordinary people.
Once at the edge of the swamp, Aaron made two forgeries and set out to find the location that the villager had stated.
Justin's body was sunk here. It's been a decade, and Aaron is worried. In the intervening decade, the area has changed so much that it is difficult to pinpoint the exact location.
In the search for Justin's remains, Aaron gave them the forgery to search in the muddy swamp and controlled it himself. I'm not going to get my hands dirty.
According to the villager, Justin's body only sank to the edge of the swamp, so Aaron's search range was not very large, even if he couldn't find the exact location. Take a little more time and you'll always find out.
In the swamp, Aaron didn't find Justin's body on the first day, but just now, the forgery has finally been caught!
Not long after, a corpse stained with black mud was brought out by a forgery.
As soon as the body was recovered, Aaron immediately cleaned it with water, and then took out the bracelet, and sure enough, when he got closer, it emitted a faint silver light.
"Finally found the corpse of the evil spirit!" Aaron smiled and nodded in satisfaction as he watched the bracelet glow with a faint silver glow, and breathed a sigh of relief.
After confirming that it was the corpse of the evil spirit, Aaron immediately collected the corpse into the ring, and then evacuated the swamp and ran towards the village.
Soon, Aaron returned to the cabin, and as soon as he entered the door, he reported to Geralt, "Teacher, I found the corpse of that evil spirit today!"
Hearing this, Geralt nodded, and said expressionlessly: "Take out the corpse, I'll take a look." ”
When Aaron heard this, he immediately took the body out of the ring and placed it on the floor.
When Geralt saw it, he stepped forward and took a closer look, before he said unhurriedly: "Well, that's right, it's the corpse of that evil spirit, and now you're not far from the last step!"
"Teacher, I've found the body, can I burn it now?" Aaron asked.
"No hurry, it's not the time yet. Geralt replied with a gentle look away.
"Then when is it going to be, isn't it just the end of burning this thing, why wait?" Aaron heard Geralt say this, and his heart was a little puzzled.
Geralt explained, "It's time for the evil spirit to reappear, and if it's just to make it disappear, you can burn it now." ”
"But we destroy this evil spirit, not just to get rid of it, the real purpose is to obtain the demon source, if we burn it now, the evil spirit will disappear immediately, we can't collect the demon source at all. Only when it is nearby, burning the corpse, can we collect the source of the demon at close range. ”
If you want to collect the Demon Source, you must be near the evil spirit, and it is impossible to do it if you are too far away, so in order to get the Demon Source, you can't burn the corpse right away.
After listening to this, Aaron finally understood the reason: "So that's the case!"
All Aaron had to do was wait until the evil spirit came back to the village, and that was when it was truly destroyed!
After a long wait of more than ten days, Aaron went out every night to make sure that the evil spirit had come again, but so far, the evil spirit has not reappeared.
Although he had waited for a long time, Aaron was not worried at all, because he knew that it was only a matter of time before the evil spirits would definitely return here again.
Today, Aaron, as before, came out to make his rounds as soon as it was dark.
"It's finally here!" Aaron caught something out of the corner of his eye as he passed around a corner, and then took a closer look and realized that it was the evil spirit from last time.
Finding the evil spirit, Aaron immediately ran back to inform Geralt...... (To be continued......)
