"Good evening, Lord Merlin."

Lin Qiye sat on the chair opposite Merlin, the light of the Rubik's Cube on the table flickered slightly, and he automatically moved towards Lin Qiye, like a wronged child.

Lin Qiye directly ignored its actions and went straight to the point:

"Your Excellency Merlin, I have come this time to ask you something...... Have you ever heard of the Heavenly Cloud Sword? "

Merlin frowned and thought for a moment, then shook his head, "I'm sorry, I haven't heard of it. "

Lin Qiye sighed secretly in his heart, but this was not unexpected by him, Merlin, as an ancient god of England, naturally would not have heard of Japanese myths and stories.

"It's a mythical weapon...... In short, the person who is struck by it will not be able to recover from all physical injuries, and it will hurt the soul, and even if he comes back from the dead, he will not be healed. Lin Qiye relied on Instructor Hong's description and briefly introduced to Merlin,

"I wonder if there's any good way to deal with the wounds left by this artifact?"

"Leaving an eternal soul wound...... Merlin thought for a moment, "Although I don't know about this artifact, judging from your description, it should have two attachment attributes, 'eternal' and 'soul', and any weapon involving 'eternal' is very tricky to deal with." "

Lin Qiye's brows furrowed tightly, "Is there no cure?" "

"Not for nothing." Merlin pondered for a moment and held out two fingers, "As far as I can guess, there are probably two ways to heal this wound......

The first is the most simple and crude, as long as you destroy the body of this Heavenly Cloud Sword, the attributes attached to it will naturally disappear, and the injuries will be healed. "

The corners of Lin Qiye's mouth twitched, do you call this "simple"?

personally found Takamagahara, killed Susanoo, and then shattered the Tiancong Cloud Sword...... To be able to do this, he is definitely already one of the top gods.

For him now, it is tantamount to a fool's dream.

"What about the second one?"

"The second is to find another artifact that has the attribute of 'eternity' and can heal injuries." Merlin said calmly.

"Hmm...... For example? "

"I don't know."

Lin Qiye: ......

Well, these two solutions, one is more unreliable than the other.

"Is there no other way?" Lin Qiye couldn't help but ask.

"I can't think of it." Merlin shook his head, "If I had to say the third way, it would be to pray for a 'miracle'. "

Lin Qiye sighed and stood up from his seat.

"I see, excuse me."

Lin Qiye walked out of the study, looked at the chaotic crowd of nurses in the yard, stopped for a moment, and shook his head helplessly.

It seems that he wants to help Wu Xiangnan heal the injury on his hand...... It's hard.

……

The next day.

A black van car stopped at the door of the tavern, and Wen Qimo and Lin Qiye got out of the van and walked towards the tavern that had been blocked by the police.

This tavern is not big, but the decoration is quite exquisite, and the combination of retro style and neon atmosphere has a unique flavor, and it can also be regarded as an Internet celebrity check-in point on this street.

It's just that this was once a lively and petty bourgeois tavern, but now it is empty and bleak.

Lin Qiye and the others crossed the yellow blockade line and walked straight into the tavern.

"Is there no one guarding this murder scene?" Lin Qiye looked around, not even a single policeman was seen, and couldn't help but ask strangely.

"This case involves 'mystery', so ordinary police officers cannot intervene, guard the scene, search for clues, and conduct autopsies...... These things are taken over by our special processing department, although there is no one to guard it, but in fact, there are people squatting in hidden places outside 24 hours a day, and if a suspicious person comes, he can be caught immediately. "

Lin Qiye nodded, and at this moment, a young man in a black coat walked in from outside the door.

"Brother Wen, are you looking for clues today?" When the young man saw Lin Qiye next to Wen Qimo, he asked in some surprise, "This is ......?"

"New member, Lin Qiye, Qiye, this is the person from the professional processing department I told you, Xiao Hei. The two of you are more familiar with each other, and you will often cooperate in the future. Wen Qimo said with a smile.

Different from the previous temporary team members, the current Lin Qiye is a regular night watchman, and he will officially take over the work of the night watchman and truly integrate into this organization.

"Hello, Brother Lin." Xiao Hei smiled and held out his hand.

"Hello." Lin Qiye held his hand.

"Xiao Hei, let's give Qiye a brief introduction to the situation." Wen Qimo spoke.

"Okay." Xiao Hei's expression became serious, "It happened yesterday, that is, at 10.45 a.m. on August 26, the owner of this tavern entered the store and opened the door, but found that there was a strong smell of blood in the store, and after entering the backyard, he found that Sun Xiao, the waiter of the tavern, died tragically. "

With that, he led the two of them towards the backyard.

"It didn't open until ten o'clock in the morning?" Lin Qiye seemed a little surprised.

"This kind of tavern is only in the evening business, and it is already diligent to start at ten o'clock." Wen Qimo explained on the side.

Lin Qiye nodded, and soon the three of them walked to the door of the backyard.

On the ground of the backyard, there are number plates marked with numbers one after another, and next to each number plate corresponds to a photo of the scene, and a human figure is outlined in white chalk on the wall, suspended in the air in the shape of a "ten".

"The deceased Sun Xiao, male, 28 years old, came to this tavern as a waiter two years ago, and had been working in a restaurant before that, in fact, there are few people who can persist in working for so long in the business of being a tavern waiter, and he can do it for two years, firstly, because the tavern owner treats him very well and treats him well, and secondly, because there are two old people at home to support him, and he urgently needs money."

Xiao Hei looked down at the information in his hand and continued, "Judging from the autopsy report, the time of death was between 3 and 4 o'clock in the morning of the same day, and there were a total of five nail marks on the deceased's body, four of which were distributed in the limbs, all of which were piercing wounds, corresponding to these four red dots on the wall. "

Lin Qiye squinted and saw that there were indeed four deep chisel marks on the hands and feet of the white humanoid on the wall, and there were blood stains left in the chisel marks, and it was these four nails that nailed the deceased to the wall.

"And the fatal wound of the deceased is the nail that pierces the heart, and it kills with one blow."

Blackie stretched out his hand to the wall, and at the heart of the figure, a small red dot was marked, representing the location of the nail piercing the heart.

"In addition to this, the ten fingers of the deceased ...... All of them had been severed, and the fractures were so smooth that no knives could be found in the tavern to inflict such damage. "
