Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    A murder case seems to be nothing unusual in a chaotic and twisted city like Free City. Many murders, large and small, occur every day in the lower-class areas. There was no murder case that day. Maybe it is a good thing for people living in this city.  For people, that is a strange thing.

    But things are a little different when the murder case involves the devil!

    Lelouch followed the location of the aura for a distance and finally locked on a house at the edge of the upper area and the lower area. The weak aura of the abyss was emanating from this house, and there was a little bit of corruption in the air.  The stench confirmed that the victim inside had been dead for several days.

    Noticing that there was still a cat on the eaves that was scratching with its short legs and staring at him, Lelouch pretended to be a passerby and left naturally, because of the pervasive surveillance ability of these small animals.  It is impossible not to find this corpse. The reason why it did not attract Yunokia's attention is that these controlled animals can only pass the picture back to Yunokia, which means that the power of the abyss near the scene is obviously far away.  Yunokia couldn't notice it.

    Lelouch, who sped up and returned to the Silver Wing Chamber of Commerce, immediately marked the location of the accident on the map and secretly controlled the investigator Ragavan Lux. Ragavan, who had recently been troubled by the lack of clues about Claire, suddenly became energetic.  Immediately, he took several subordinates to "pass by" the house according to Lelouch's request, and happened to find the corpse that had begun to rot.

    Originally Ragavan's men thought this was just an ordinary murder, but after being warned by Lelouch, Ragavan soon discovered from the wounds on the limbs of the corpse that the victim had been brutally punctured. Although from the chest wound  It looked like he had been killed with a knife, but the victim was obviously fixed to the ground in a lying position before he died. If it were just a simple murder, the criminal would not have to bother so much. After further investigation, Ragavan soon discovered that there was  Some traces that were wiped away but still remained, seemed to be some kind of irregular shape, and the victim should have been fixed in the center of this shape when he was killed.

    As soon as these clues came out and were connected together, the word "sacrifice" suddenly popped into everyone's mind, including several of Ragavan's subordinates!

    Someone is killing people and offering sacrifices in the Free City©­©­In addition to some things that happened in the Free City and the Kingdom of Belrama not long ago, the expressions of Ragavan's subordinates suddenly changed, while Ragavan, as the investigator, was excited  Trembling all over, he immediately contacted the security team using a communicator. Within fifteen minutes, a large number of heavily armed members of the security team arrived at the scene and sealed off the place. At this time, the cat who was still napping nearby was  Watching the activities of the humans below meaningfully, the cat gave a sweet cry as if it had woken up from a dream, and then ran away in a hurry.

    And not long after the cat left, just as the city security team members were preparing to take away the body, a more professional team had arrived at the scene. Judging from their clothing, it was obvious that they were all high-level mages.

    This formation obviously shocked the security team, and the leader of this team was a tall, plump woman wearing a black and white robe. Although she was veiled, her skin showed a healthy wheat color.  Everyone exudes the alluring aura of a female feline. Rather than being the mage, a woman who makes men daydream about her, she looks more like a socialite traveling in the upper class.

    ¡°If a woman with such seductive beauty like her appeared in a tavern or a brothel, she would probably line up from the east of the city to the south of the city for the sake of a handsome man!

    Although the identities of the other parties were all noble mages, the members of the security team still had to stop the other party before verifying the identity of the other party. Fortunately, these mages also had a good attitude and only asked to talk to the person in charge.

    The captain of the city security team, who had a good personal relationship with Ragavan, had no choice but to stand up and asked politely: "Excuse me, who are you?"

    "We are mages from the law school under Miss Yunokia. I heard that this case involves sacrifices by cultists. We are entrusted by the city council to be fully responsible for handling any matters related to demons and cultists. You can directly report to the city  The parliament will verify this." The masked woman in charge said in a slightly hoarse and lazy tone.

    "©­Really? Please wait a moment."

    The captain of the security team was stunned for a moment and quickly asked someone to bring the communication magic device. After verifying with the superiors that there was indeed such a newly established department, he finally let him go.

    ¡°Is Mr. Investigative Officer Raghavan here?¡±

    "Compared with the accompanying captain of the security team, the first person the female mage wanted to find was Ragavan, who had made great achievements in searching for Claire's traces.

    "Your Excellency Ragavan is investigating the scene. Please wait a moment while I ask someone to notify him."While sending his men to notify Ragavan, the captain of the security team also asked cautiously: "I don't know what to call you."

    The female mage looked at the security captain and seemed to hesitate for a moment before slowly speaking: "Layard, just call me that."

    "Okay Ms. Layard~"

    The captain of the security team nodded, and then saw Ragavan walking over under the leadership of the team members. The two parties briefly introduced themselves when they met, and then the female mage named Layard quickly changed the topic to business.  This Ragavan also explained the situation in as much detail as possible and invited Rayad to the scene.

    The entire scene has been cordoned off by the city security team, because the demonic sacrifice is very likely to involve the escaped boy Claire, and this boy is the culprit who brought the demon into the free city. Now the city council and the three giants in the upper-class area of ??the free city are  He was wanted with all their strength, and they had obviously regarded him as the number one dangerous person. The city security team did not dare to relax at all when dealing with this suspicious case. In addition to searching the scene, many members of the security team and spies had already begun to search for nearby areas.  Check the area to see if you can find any clues.

    As Ragavan entered the murder scene, although the doors and windows had been opened for ventilation for a long time, there was still some faint rancid smell remaining in the air, but Rayad didn't seem to care about this and focused on the center of the room.

    "This is where Madam, when we found the body, it was lying on its side. And here we found that in addition to a few traces, there were some abnormal bumps on the ground. The victim was obviously lying on his back when he died.  The posture was fixed here, and further investigation revealed that some kind of marks had been drawn on the victim's body."

    Ragavan quickly introduced the situation, and Layard listened while lifting the white cloth on the body placed aside. Although it had been 'frozen' by the mage and reduced the maggot nuisance, the body was still in a state of decay and was a little uncomfortable.  The stomach-churning corpse was revealed. Looking at the corpse's abdomen that had been smeared and with traces that were no longer visible due to decomposition, Radhea pressed the corpse with his hand regardless of his nausea, as if he was feeling something.

    "©­When did you die?"

    "According to the autopsy results, it should be two to three days."

    Layard nodded and then moved to the figure that could no longer be seen in the center of the room. The female mage took out a small bag from her pocket and took out some powder that looked like gravel. Then she blew lightly, and the gravel suddenly  As if given life, it floats in the air and slowly falls, finally completing the blurry graphics.

    Ragavan took a deep breath and looked at the completed magic circle on the ground~ Yeah!  It should be a magic circle©­Although this magic circle is not the circular one commonly used by mages in the past, this irregular shape is covered with dense unknown words. I don¡¯t know why even if I don¡¯t understand the consciousness of these words at all, I can¡¯t help but look at the words.  Gervin felt as if lead had been poured into his heart, and he was filled with a sense of frustration, loss, and blasphemy. It seemed that there was a feeling that made people unwilling to spit out, but it happened to be suppressed in his heart and made people want it.  Use violence and fear to vent it.

    Not only Raghavan, but also the members of the security team on the side seemed to have this feeling. They all looked embarrassed or turned their heads away and didn't want to watch.

    "Ms. Layard, can you let us do a little backup of records©­Hey! Please wait©­"

    Suppressing the discomfort in his heart, Ragavan was about to let someone draw this figure, but Layard had already started, and with just a wave of his hand, the figure completed by the gravel immediately dissipated.

    Layard turned his head and said in a hoarse tone: "Record? If you don't want to become a murderer and fraudster in your next life, Mr. Ragavan, I advise you to forget what you just saw as soon as possible."

    ¡°I understand©­Thank you for the tip Ms. Layard.¡±

    Ragavan is not a fool and naturally understands the hint of the female mage. It is obviously not trivial to make people feel uncomfortable just by looking at that magic circle. God knows what impact it will have on him if he observes it for a long time.  It's just that the reason why I want to record it is not really for backup, but because the master needs a detailed information, and no information should be let go.

    Layard is also very satisfied with the investigator's knowledge and cautious attitude. He has seen too many fools who are dominated by curiosity and pursue the truth without knowing what they can do. He is also very tired of this kind of self-righteousness.  After dealing with fools time and time again, it is obvious that this investigator has a much better mind, and it should be easier for me to cooperate with him.

    "Sacrifice was indeed carried out here." In the end, Layard, the appointed expert on demons, gave the answer. In fact, Layard also knew the answer without such a troublesome investigation. After all, there was something left in the air.  DianweiThe weak power of the abyss has explained everything.

    Ragavan asked with a bad expression: "Has another demon entered the city?"

    "No~ this magic circle is not summoning but devouring. The person making the sacrifice devoured the man's soul to nourish himself. Killing others and devouring their souls is a common method used by cultists."

    "That's it, then I will immediately ask the personnel to conduct an exclusion investigation to see if the victim has been in contact with any suspicious persons recently."

    "If you have any information, please inform us as soon as possible."

    Layard took out a communication sharpener and handed it to Ragavan. There was only one thing that the female mage did not tell Ragavan. It was a fact to devour souls, but judging from the residual fluctuations of the power of the abyss, demons had stepped on it.  It is inevitable to enter the main substance, and it seems that it is not one.
