[Chapter 20]: Making up for the dead

Lu Xun rushed to the third floor and entered the bedroom.

The gray-haired old man fell to the ground, his "tentacles" were all cut off, and a large blood hole was broken in his chest and heart, and he was killed by a single blow.

"It's really you!"

Lu Xun gritted his teeth and couldn't help but want to rush up and give him two feet.

But people are dead, and there is no point in desecrating corpses.

He was tempted to ask why the old octopus was coming back? How did you get back? And came back so quickly?

The planes have flown away, and he will only get to the elves tomorrow, did he parachute and float back halfway?

The old octopus had no reason to return to Jinghai City.

Because both black and white were eyeing him, he had no other choice.

But he came back, and he died!

The corpse was placed in front of Lu Xun like this.

Everything that happens here is unreasonable, unconscionable, and without any logic.

Burned all the CPUs of Lu Xun!

It's outrageous!

"Whew~"

Lu Xun took a deep breath and stopped his chaotic thoughts.

He crouched down and examined the old octopus's corpse, and his expression became solemn.

The old octopus's head had been cut open, and a large piece of his brain was missing.

Now the situation has become serious.

Lu Xun suddenly realized that the murderer who killed the old octopus was not the combat robot just now.

After the other party killed people, why did they cut off part of the brain tissue of the old octopus?

The reason is simple.

It is to extract the memories of the old octopus before his death.

Now that technology is advanced, the technology to extract memories from brain tissue has long been available.

According to the masked man, anyone who has anything to do with him will be exterminated.

When the other party brings his brain back, as soon as he checks it, Lu Xun's identity will be exposed, and he will be hunted down!

"What the hell is going on? What went wrong? ”

Lu Xun's hands and feet were cold, and his heart seemed to be tightly grasped by an invisible hand, and he felt suffocated.

He didn't think there was anything wrong with his plan, but he never expected things to turn out where they were.

The logic of the old octopus's behavior is beyond human comprehension.

There is a way in heaven that you don't take, but you want to come back and die?

You came back to trick me on purpose, didn't you?

Lu Xun couldn't understand it, but he was shocked.

The first thing on his mind now is to run!

Leave Jinghai City with the whole family.

But that's the next step, my uncle's life depends on a bunch of instruments to maintain, breathing, pumping blood, excreting... It's all about the machines, and he can't do without the machines.

It was also not possible to contact the airline at short notice to arrange a special patient cabin.

Choosing to run away means abandoning a family member.

'Calm down, don't worry. ’

'There may be a turn for the better...'

His heart was beating extremely fast, and it took a few deep breaths in quick succession to stabilize his emotions.

Squatted down and reached out his right hand to touch the corpse.

"Parse!"

After more than ten seconds, Lu Xun opened his eyes, and a touch of joy appeared on his face.

The old octopus died no more than 20 minutes.

After the murderer finished killing someone, he left the robot to take care of the aftermath, and he went back with the brain tissue first.

The other party is still on his way back, and he hasn't gone far yet, and he still has a chance to regain his brain.

Even if the other party has returned to the lair, it will take a long time to extract the memories with the instrument.

Theoretically, there is still a chance to turn things around.

It's never too late to make amends!

But the question now is, Lu Xun doesn't know who the murderer is at all? Where are you going?

In the vast sea of people, where can he find it?

At the critical moment, Lu Xun's thinking became extremely agile.

He quickly thought of a "man"β€”his tablemate Ur from the Necromancy.

Don't look at it as a skeleton, but your is proficient in more than 400 kinds of undead magic, and is a very famous genius boy of the necromantic clan!

Otherwise, it would not have been sent by the clan to study abroad.

Magic is something that defends common sense.

Some of these spells can be unpredictable prophets, ghosts and gods.

Finding someone is too easy for your.

Thinking of this, Lu Xun immediately raised his hand, ready to contact your.

only to find that his wrist was empty, and then he realized that the strap of the communication device was broken in the transformation just now and fell to the ground.

"I remember it was here..."

He turned, looked at the pile of debris like electricity, and walked briskly.

……

Jinghai No. 1 Middle School, senior three (4) class classroom.

Rear window position.

Your was lying on the table bored, his skeletal face full of vivid sadness, pondering about his homework.

Suddenly, the communicator at the wrist bone vibrates.

It looked down and saw that it was Brother Lu calling!

Your was pleasantly surprised, and hurriedly answered the phone, and just as he was about to say hello, he was stunned by the other party's words-

"Big Bone, don't talk yet, listen to me. I'm in big trouble, and I need you to use your magic to help me find someone. I remember you told me before that there was something like that, right? ”

It was stunned, then very nervously raised its head and looked around.

Then he lowered his voice and asked with concern, "Brother Lu, what trouble are you in?" ”

"I have an acquaintance who has been killed, and I need to find the murderer, or something will happen to me myself."

"Time is pressing, I don't have time to elaborate, can you come over conveniently? The sooner the better. Lu Xun said in a deep voice.

When you heard that it was a matter of life and death, you couldn't help but panic.

"I have the magic of finding people, but even if I go, I can't help you, Brother Lu."

It said: "We, the students of different races, have signed an agreement with the People's Federation that we are not allowed to use magic during our studies, and that we can defend ourselves properly unless we encounter a life-threatening situation." ”

Lu Xun knew about this, and your had told him before.

The alien students all wear magic sensors, and the appearance is a silver bracelet.

Once the magic is used, it senses and automatically alarms.

If you take off the bracelet without authorization, you will also call the police.

When the time comes, your will not only be sent back to the Necromancy, but will also face very severe punishment when he returns.

The cost is beyond its reach.

But now its good buddies are in a life-and-death crisis.

The fire in your eyes flickered, and he was hesitating to break the taboo for his brother.

But I heard Lu Xun say-

"You don't have to do it yourself, I can guide the fire attribute magic element, you just teach me how to use magic, this won't be difficult for you, right?"

Yes?

Your was shocked.

I can't understand why Lu Xun, as a human being, can control magic essence?

But now is not the time to say that.

Since he knew how to use magic himself, things were much easier.

"I know a ritual divination magic to find the murderer, it is very simple, you only need to draw a ritual pattern with the blood of the dead, with three spells, you can track the murderer, no additional spell casting materials, and there is no requirement for magic attributes."

"But there are two necessary conditions. ”

"1. The time of death of the deceased was within three hours."

"2. The murderer must be someone the caster has seen before, otherwise it cannot be traced."

"In the end, the results of the divination will only show a momentary picture, and it is not clear."

"How about Brother Lu? Not really...... I'll go over to you. ”

……

in the bedroom.

After listening to your words, Lu Xun couldn't help frowning.

This tracking magic is so low-level that even beginners can easily learn it, but the effect is very poor and very restrictive.

Two preconditions, the first one is easy to say, but the latter one is quite troublesome.

How do you know what the murderer looks like?

He subconsciously looked at the corpse of the old octopus, and suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and the corners of his mouth slowly rose.

"Hey, I have the ability to read memories, too!"

He said "Wait a minute" to your, then stretched out his finger and dipped a little of the old octopus's blood, put it to his lips and licked it, and performed one of the three stuntsβ€”

"Hunt for blood and souls!"
