Chapter 19 The autopsy body was sprinkled with lime before being buried, mainly for disinfection and epidemic prevention. To ensure that the stench does not diffuse, the body should be buried very deeply, at least about four to six feet.

But apparently the soldiers who were responsible for burying the bodies cut corners, the soil was very loose, and they had barely dug three feet before they saw a layer of lime. With a slight flip, the stench immediately hits your face. The three people at the scene choked and coughed, and quickly found a strip of cloth to cover their mouths and noses.

Kenda, who had been helplessly watching Dearlandor doing coolies, finally found an opportunity at this moment, jumped off the pit he had just dug haode, and pushed Diarlando: "You! don't get in the way here, go up." ”

Dearrando thankfully climbed up the dirt pit, stood by and patted the dirt all over his body, then wiped off the sweat and continued to watch Kenda check the situation.

The body was hastily wrapped in burlap and straw mats, and the head, waist, and legs were tied with straw ropes. At this moment, the white lime adhered to the wrappings, and the reaction of the decaying corpse fluid corroded the surface of the corpse, making the already ugly corpse even more difficult to distinguish.

Kenda used a gun to pick open the wraps one by one, examined the corpse, and when he found the corpse that Diarlando said had white filaments in his abdomen, he directly cut the corpse's stomach open and inspected the internal organs.

The knight's face was ugly, and he was about to suffocate from the smell, so he couldn't help but walk a little farther away at the moment. Although he was a knight, he had hardly ever been on the battlefield in this peaceful country and in a city that was not dangerous. The sight was too exciting for him.

The wolf's thoughts rang softly as the knight walked away.

(Wow~ It stinks, I can't breathe.) ）

Dearlando muttered quietly, "Who doesn't know stink!"

(It's not the smell of the corpse!) It's like the saliva of a lizard in the Wanma Plains plus the glands of an Aru raccoon and the egg sacs of a pod and fermented in the muddy water of a swamp that has rotted for a thousand years!)

"......" Kenda and Dearlandor were both silent for a moment, imagining what it was.

(It's like fish guts that have rotted for a few days, plus sour and spoiled bread, plus the smell of bed bugs, and then magnified a thousand times.) Seeing that neither of them could understand, the wolf had to change his story.

Kenda nodded, indicating that she understood. Then he began to cut open the heart, liver and other organs with a dagger to examine the inside, and although these tissues showed signs of decay, it was easy to find that all the internal organs had dense cavities. Unfortunately, after examining everyone's abdominal cavity, they didn't find the white filaments that Diarlando was talking about.

"Knight of Angsai?" Kenda shouted to the bearded man who was hiding in the upper hand position to breathe. The knight had to walk over again, cover his nose and respectfully ask, "Lord Kenda, what have you found?"

"The inside of the corpse seemed to have been eaten by something, and all the internal organs were covered with holes. My guess is that whatever bit them, it seems that the purpose is to lay eggs in the human body. Kenda picked up a slice of liver with a dagger and showed the honeycomb-like slice to the knight of Angsai.

The knight of Angsai looked like earth, felt that his skin was itching, and he took two steps back nervously, and asked worriedly: "That...... Is that thing still here?"

Kenda shook her head and picked up one of the dead man's hands with her gun for the Knight of Onsai to see. Although the skin of the corpse was mostly pitted with lime corrosion, it was difficult to distinguish what it was. But from this hand, which is still counted, you can see that there are also dense pores on the surface of the skin, as if something has crawled out of it.

"If I'm not mistaken, these holes penetrate the musculoskeletal and go straight to the internal organs. It is estimated that if you pour water on the corpse, the water will spurt out of the whole body. Kenda looked at the bear-like look of the mighty Knight of Angsai and couldn't help but tease him.

The knight of Angsai, who imagined the scene, turned green all over his face, and he struggled for three seconds between vomiting and maintaining his dignity of etiquette, and then decisively ran to a tree in the distance and vomited.

"You're so ruthless!" Dearlando secretly gave a thumbs up, and then continued to mutter, "It seems that those white filaments may really have been conceived from these corpses." I wonder where they went when they got out of the carcass?"

(Went in a northeasterly direction.) The stench is getting lighter and lighter, and I don't know if it's going underground, or if it's going to fade away. The wolf's thoughts whispered again, pointing out the direction in which the smell had disappeared.

"Sure enough, it's the direction of the castle!" Diarlandor listened, and fulfilled his guess even more. Immediately told Kenda about the situation he had observed on the road before. Kenda looked at the hill in front of him, which was not very tall, transformed into a wolf, and ran wildly, rushing to the top of the mountain.

"Huh, where is this going, Lord Kenda?" the knight of Angsai, who had finished vomiting, heard the movement and hurriedly ran over, and the silver-white wolf had run away without a trace.

"Master Kenda said that his wolf smelled something special and he went to track it down. Diarlando stood aside with his head bowed honestly, answering the question of the Knight of Onsay.

The knight's face changed, and he immediately reprimanded Diarlando: "How can you be a squire, weishenme won't stop you!"

"I can't stop it...... The adults made a fuss and turned into a wolf and ran away, how can I catch up?" Diarlando pretended to be nervous and quickly argued.

The knight of Angsai glared at Diarlando angrily, seeing that he lowered his head and admitted his mistake, it was estimated that it was useless to continue scolding. I had to turn my head to look in the direction Kenda had run away, with a scared and fierce expression on his face.

Although Dearlando lowered his head, he had been quietly paying attention to Angsai's expression, and saw that this expression flashed on Angsai's face, and then suddenly changed to an eager look, and shouted out Kenda's honorific title loudly.

Deirlandor turned his head and saw the silver-white wolf rushing down from the top of the hill at a gallop, and in a short time they were in front of the two of them.

"Lord Kenda, did you find anything?" The knight of Angsai saw the beast form of the famous wolf-toothed knight for the first time, and he was curious and a little frightened, so he asked a little cautiously.

Kenda didn't let the wolf speak, but directly transformed into a human form again, and replied casually: "It's nothing, I smelled something just now, but it broke off before I reached the top of the mountain, so I turned back." ”

"Oh, isn't that another clue?" said Knight Angsai, who sighed in disappointment, "Lord Kenda was really good at making a move, and found a blind spot that we hadn't discovered before. I'll arrange for the men to dig up the other corpses and examine them. ”

Kenda looked at the knight of Angsai and said, "In such a hot weather, the rest of the people are estimated to be rotten and unrecognizable, right?" and these exhumed corpses cannot continue to be left like this, they must be burned immediately." ”

The knight of Angsai had a bitter face, and was doing something he had never done in his life - collecting firewood. He looked at the figure of Kenda, who was also collecting firewood not far from him, and sighed quietly.

Originally, I thought that the above would send a person as big as Kenda over, that is, to go through the motions and do an investigation. I didn't expect the dignified wolf-toothed knight to do things so physically and resolutely. I smelled the smell of the corpse for a long time, and at this moment, I had to collect firewood everywhere to burn the corpse.

Diarlando had already run away to collect firewood, otherwise he would have been assigned by the Knight of Angsai to do this and that.

It didn't take long for both of them to come back with a large pile of dead branches. Diarrando found a dead tree that had fallen in the woods and dragged it back.

The knight of Angsai looked at the dead tree, which was not too small, and was worried that there was nothing to cut down. Kenda spoke, telling them to step away, and then brandished her black spear and stabbed the dead tree quickly.

With a loud bang, a seemingly ordinary shot, the entire point of the tree trunk about a foot thick burst open, shattering into large and small piles of wooden strips and wood chips.

The knight of Angsai froze for a moment, then began to clap his hands, choked on the power of the gun. Although he and the city lord boast that they are also masters of martial arts, under such a blow, it is estimated that they will not be able to block half a move, and Kenda obviously has not used much strength.

Kenda secretly glanced at the knight of Angsai with amusement, and then took the initiative to throw the dead branches into the burial pit. As soon as Kenda did this, Angsai naturally couldn't stand still, so he had to help carry it together. The three of them moved together, and soon the entire pit was covered with fuel.

The Knight of Onsai pulled the flint out of his bosom and tried to light Kenda's fire. But Kenda politely declined, took out a small red bottle from his bosom, and smashed it a little hard at the wood in the pit.

With a bang, the flames burst out and quickly spread throughout the pit.

"Wow, Lord Kenda, what is this? The effect is so amazing!" the knight of Angsai was once again shocked, such a small bottle had such great power. If it is used as a weapon, wouldn't it be super lethal.

Kenda said lightly: "It's nothing, the Shiyan product of the latest research of the Royal Academy of Sciences, let me find a chance to test it." It is characterized by fast ignition, high burning temperature, and very thorough burning. I saw the ruthlessness of this unknown murderer, and I was afraid that the fire could not be completely disinfected, so I used it. ”

"This ...... Then how many other places should be dealt with in the same way?" Even if Angsai had any thoughts, he was thrown out of the clouds at this moment, and respectfully asked Kenda to give instructions.

"It doesn't seem to be too early, let's go to the nearest scene here to take a look at it again, and then send someone to dig up all the corpses in the city, douse them with black oil, and burn them thoroughly. ”

Kenda looked at the sky and answered the question of the knight of Anse, who had just tossed so much that the afternoon passed quickly. Seeing that it was almost evening, I planned to identify the smell of other sites and call it a day for the time being.

The knight of Angsai immediately nodded yes and got on his horse to lead the way. The three of them continued south along the southerly road.

On the way, Kenda and Diarrando deliberately stepped back a little. In the moment when the two of them walked side by side, Kenda whispered, "There are two small hills behind that mountain just now, but the mountain peak farther away is the one where the castle of Ebony City is located. Although the smell diluted later, the direction would definitely not be wrong, that is, in the direction of the black lead city. ”
