Chapter 455: Death Stranding

This kind of "adjusting monitoring" method of disagreeing is even more powerful than the "Skynet Intelligent Monitoring System" in another world.

Just as tickets are sold for people to visit during surgery, in this era, even if the case is decided, outsiders are not allowed to visit.

Soon, the living figure of the victim, Viscount Owen, appeared in front of everyone.

"Whew"

The bloodied nobleman was running for his life in front, but was dragged back by the other pursuers behind him as soon as he opened the door.

"Ah——!h

The short scream didn't get out of his throat, and he was bitten off his head.

It's just that the thing dragging him is moving too fast, and some of them can't be seen clearly, and they can only vaguely see that it is a slender pink figure.

Sherlock waved his hand, and the recreated scene immediately began to replay.

Until the scene advances to the conversation with the woman when the other party has just arrived.

"Monsters, spore mantises, and run when you're done, because they have a unique habit of eating males after their wedding night"

A series of words appeared in everyone's ears.

"Oh~"

A group of onlookers who watched the excitement all suddenly realized that they subconsciously took a step back, as if there was something dirty hidden in that building.

There is no need to guess, eighty percent of the other party was gnawed off by the female mantis because he didn't run fast enough.

Even if it's a pink praying mantis, it's a praying mantis.

Most of them are normal human beings and can't accept the special habits of these nobles.

Salante touched a certain rib on his chest, which was also a part of the zero-level holy relic [Sea King Trident] integrated into his body, and suddenly felt a little weak.

He could basically conclude that this spore mantis, which should have been domesticated, suddenly had a problem, most likely due to the influence of his holy relic.

Within the area of influence of the Trident, the monster in heat will be extremely irritable, and may not wait until the end of the day to start hunting down its groom as usual.

Instead, they eat while being newly married, and are newly married while eating.

Anyway, the praying mantis is a creature that is used to eating from scratch, and it does not hinder the realization of functions in other places at all.

Even if a transcendent person is caught off guard, he may be gnawed off half of his skull on the spot.

There was some self-reproach on the young man's face:

"I thought this was the capital of the kingdom of the Old World, and there should be no dangerous monsters, but I didn't expect that there would be such a strange entertainment place just across the street.

I thought that the side effects of 'Aquaman' were different enough, until I met you here, I didn't know that there is no limit to human beings! ”

Byron, who was next to him, felt that things should not be so simple.

He had been sitting in the café all the time, and although he deliberately avoided this direction for fear of a needle in his eyes, it was impossible to hide it from him if there was really any fierce fight.

So besides the monster rampage, something else must have happened.

At the same time, Sherlock raised his hand, quieting the onlookers, signaling that it was not yet time to completely close the case:

"Friends who often kill people know that killing people is easy to throw away corpses.

Especially in a big city like Kingston, what to do with a corpse is a university question.

Because any detail on the corpse may tell us part of the truth about the murder, it is the deceased who speaks. ”

His friend and partner [Medic] John Watson had put on a bird's beak mask and a pair of deerskin gloves that he had brought with him into the building, and began to examine the bones of the corpse lying on the ground.

But the moment he saw the whole picture of "Viscount Owen", he couldn't help but exclaim:

"No, Sherlock, this corpse is not in the right state."

Byron didn't need to go inside, [God saw] easily saw everything.

The corpse at John Watson's feet was indeed wrong.

It is normal to have half of your head bitten off, which is consistent with the preliminary inference that you died from the gnawing of the spore mantis.

But it was only a few minutes before and after the incident, and the fresh corpse that should have been still warm turned out to be decomposed.

It is believed that it is an ancient corpse dug out of the ground.

And it was all wet, soaked with water stains, as if it had just been fished out of the deep sea, and it looked more and more abnormal.

Then I listened to the [Raven Doctor] John Watson of the hospital sequence while examining and explaining:

"Normally, as a corpse ages in bones, the various organic substances that make up the bone structure are lost.

At a certain point, the color becomes unusually pale, and the texture is dry and chalk-like, making it look extra crispy.

If you press on a very old bone with your fingernails, it can easily cut in and cause a slight chipping, leaving a dent or scratch mark. ”

Click!

He didn't take Mr. Viscount of the same function as an outsider at all, and picked up a finger bone and broke it with his hand.

"Only when fresh bones are broken do they appear like shoots, and dry bones break straight along the long axis of the bone, and the rupture lines break in pieces and leave some powder behind.

Unless it's in a very dry desert area, it will take at least fifty years for the skeleton to become so crispy. ”

Sherlock had already walked over to his assistant's side, observed the state of the corpse, and made a similar judgment:

"Considering the fragility of this skeleton, Mr. Viscount's body has been dead for at least fifty years!

But this was clearly not the case, I had seen him in person in the courtroom three days ago, and he had been happily playing monster parties a few minutes earlier.

Now it looks like something has sucked the body's vitality out in a very short time.

This isn't a normal monster's ability, but more like the handicraft of an undead creature, an evil spirit, or some kind of cursed spirit.

And"

Raise your nose and activate the [Criminal Sense of Smell] and sniff:

"There are no living people in this building, no living monsters, and the smell of blood is not strong, but there is a strange smell that has not been smelled before.

Strange, if it's just a simple monster out of control incident, then who did the rest of the thing? ”

Byron didn't do anything, just listened quietly to their analysis, [Secret: The Death Stranding Incident Under the Dispute Between the Two Parties, Historical Influence 28] The density of the solution quickly jumped to 26%.

Decryption has never been easier and more enjoyable before.

But analyzing this, they seem to be in trouble, and the "murderer" beyond the norm is not within their scope of expertise.

However, after seeing the appearance of the corpse, Salant's heart jumped:

"This turned out to be a 'death stranding' that also happened in the Old World?

No, even if the material world has entered the intertidal zone, how can there be a chain reaction so quickly? ”

Salant apparently recognized the traces of the murder scene.

Byron immediately noticed the abnormality of his expression, and asked on his own Golden Law intranet:

"Mr. Salant, do you know what this is all about?"

The latter didn't care to admit his relatives, and assessed the risk of this news in his heart, and then said to Byron:

"For the whole material world, the Oblivion is getting closer and closer.

Maybe decades, maybe centuries, but that day will come.

Everything that the [Hundred Beast Paradise] of the Southern Continent and the [Giant Dragon King Court] of the Old Continent have experienced now is something that our Eastern Continent has experienced dozens of hundreds of years ago.

The 'Death Stranding' is one of them.

We all know that after death, unless a human being turns into an undead creature, an evil spirit, a spirit of nature, a totem god, or a grotesque combination with other creatures, the destination of the soul should be the collective subconscious sea.

If you die on the sea, you risk being snatched by the Sea of Ingena and must be transported by ghost ships;

If you die on land, you will be attracted by the underworld of your respective race, and you will involuntarily leave the material world. ”

When he said this, there was a hint of horror in his eyes:

"But when we enter the intertidal zone and the tide rises to a certain level, this distinction between sea and land is completely broken.

Because the intertidal zone is half water and half land.

The dead will be in a state of indifference, causing the undead to be stranded in the real world, unable to go to the edge of the world, and cannot be considered truly alive.

Transform into a special kind of [Evil Spirit: Lost Land].

They are completely cut off from all anchors in the entire world, and even the spiritual vision cannot see this strange existence that exists in the middle of life and death.

Only special transcendents and treasures that can also touch this intermediate state can see and touch them.

And the power of Hades still exists, and it is even possible to pull the ancient souls floating on the edge of the world to the material world in reverse.

Causes great chaos and destruction for a short period of time, and does not end until the essentia tide is low.

This phenomenon is known as the 'death stranding'.

With the help of some kind of treasure, I have witnessed with my own eyes that after a mass death event, there are not only countless [Lost Ones] who are stranded in the material world and wail, but even ghost ships that have been pulled out of the edge of the world in reverse.

Together, they slaughter all the living, rob them of their life force, maintain their existence or increase their strength, and leave the ground wet and dry with corpses after the revelry. ”

Hearing Salant's explanation, Byron couldn't help but feel a little tricky.

Now his mother, "The Little Mermaid" Hathaway, is still sleeping in Valhalla's Valhalla of the Bay People.

If one day you accidentally encounter this kind of death stranding incident, it will be very troublesome to come to the material world and be killed by mistake again.

Immediately asked:

"Is this a universal transcendent natural phenomenon after entering the intertidal zone? Is it completely inevitable? ”

saw Salante shake his head vigorously:

"No, not exactly.

Because this anomaly came so quickly.

Even the southern continent has just entered the 'intertidal zone', and the highest Old World should not be stranded so soon.

The many casualties caused by the monsters here may be an accident that no one wants to see, but the 'death stranding' caused by a large number of people killed at one time is not very like a natural factor.

I'm more inclined to someone deliberately arranging some kind of forbidden ritual to do something big, but it was exposed early because of this unexpected mass death"

At this time, he suddenly saw [Sherlock] the [Evil Buster] performing his duty to go to the depths of the building for further inspection, and hurriedly stopped him:

"Don't go in, the real murderer is still here."

As soon as the words fell.

Smack!

A blood-colored handprint appeared on the ground not far in front of Sherlock.

If you pick up Viscount Owen's hand and compare it with it, you will find that the fingerprints between the two match exactly.

The next moment.

Smack! Smack! Smack! Smack! Smack!

The sound of countless bloody handprints on the floor, walls, and glass of this building was connected, as if there were countless intangible and intangible things with human hands crawling rapidly in that building.

Even forcibly suppressed the surrounding rain for a while.

"Ah——!h

The biting cold wind blew across the backs of everyone present, and the onlookers immediately screamed and fled.
