Mystery: Starting from Meeting Amon

Chapter 51 Criminals
Lewis could vaguely see the figure's facial features, and the other person had a dull expression and empty eyes.

"Why do you want to kill me?" Lewis asked. He had to hurry because the psychic effect would weaken as the time since death increased.

The transparent, illusory figure spoke, "Because you took away Barry's opportunity. Miss Tifana is his favorite lady. Barry paid me one hundred pounds to deal with you. In addition, I also want to collect some sacrifices."

Lewis immediately thought of the table tennis master he met at the Eros Center. Just because of an opportunity to meet a woman, the other party actually hired someone to assassinate him.

Lewis was vaguely angry. Mr. Barry was not very tolerant. If he had the chance to see him again, he must find a way to eliminate the trouble once and for all.

"Are you a superhuman? What kind of superhuman are you?" Lewis heard the key point from the undead's answer just now and asked hurriedly.

"I am a 'criminal'." The transparent, illusory figure spoke, and it seemed to feel pain with every word it spoke.

"The criminal should be a Sequence Nine of the Abyss Path. I almost don't know the formula of the potion for this path, but I can do some divination."

Lewis smiled, the 'criminal's' potion formula was a pleasant surprise.

He touched the illusory figure with his right hand, and then silently recited the divination phrase "the criminal's potion formula".

Lewis fell asleep while standing. In his dream, he saw a hand carefully opening a piece of parchment, on which was written the criminal's potion formula: extraordinary materials included a horn of a devil fish and five grams of evil spirit dust; auxiliary materials included 5 grams of Holy Night powder, gastric juice of a black goat and a portion of black goat horn powder.

After waking up, Lewis recited the recipe several times in his mind and memorized it.

"You mentioned before that you were collecting sacrifices. What are you going to do with those sacrifices?" Lewis adjusted his hat. The other party's answer reminded him of evil rituals.

"Sacrifice... needs..." Just as he opened his mouth, a look of pain suddenly appeared on the undead's face, it became more illusory, and even began to crack.

Lewis, realizing that the situation was not good, quickly withdrew from the spiritual ceremony, thus avoiding serious consequences.

As the spiritual wall was lifted, a brisk breeze blew, and Lewis' eyes returned to normal again, with the whites of his eyes and pupils becoming clear.

Lewis didn't dare to continue after discovering that a powerful force was interfering with his spiritual communication. He looked down at the corpse and saw a stone similar to black agate beginning to separate out from the chest of the corpse. That was the extraordinary characteristic of the "criminal".

Only after the other party's extraordinary characteristics were completely extracted from his body did Lewis use a cigarette box to collect the half-fist-sized stone-like object.

Although he does not need the extraordinary characteristics of the "criminal", this extraordinary characteristic can be configured into potions and can also be used to make magical items.

It can be said that this small piece could cost more than three hundred pounds if it met the right buyer.

"The spirit has dissipated. I cannot determine the true identity of this extraordinary person, but I can roughly guess that he should be related to the 'Blood Worship Cult'."

Lewis fell into deep thought. The so-called "Blood Cult" was actually a relatively loose supernatural organization. The organization controlled the "Abyss" path, and the Abyss path was also the devil's path.

Based on this, Lewis began to divine in order to determine his next move.

"I should destroy the body."

Lewis silently recited the divination sentence, and the pendant turned smoothly clockwise, which meant that he should indeed destroy the body. "Whether it is handing the body over to the police or absconding, this is not an appropriate option.

If the body is handed over to the police, it will most likely attract investigation by extraordinary people. Once the police leak the news, it may attract the demons of the "Blood Cult". Who knows if they will retaliate.

If I escape, I will definitely arouse the suspicion of those around me. Then I might be wanted and even forced to leave Backlund. Then I will have no chance to get Sealed Artifact 0-08."

After figuring this out, Lewis waited until late at night before going out. He used dream divination to simply confirm a suitable location for disposing of the body, and then went there.

Boom!
With some subtle sounds, the body sank into the sewer.

In Backlund, countless bodies of unknown origin sink into the sewers every day, and most of these bodies will never be discovered by the police. They will just rot in the sewers or be eaten by creatures until all the truth is buried.

"I hope this 'criminal' doesn't have any accomplices in planning the case, otherwise I will have a headache." Lewis sighed. Now the only hidden danger is Mr. Barry who hired the killer.

Thinking of this, Lewis decided to wait until the party. At that time, he could hire a supernatural being to deal with the villain and completely distance himself from the incident.

Back at the detective agency, Lewis used the properties of the "machine" to calm himself down. After all, it was his first time to kill someone and dispose of a body, and he was still somewhat uncomfortable psychologically.

After lighting the gas lamp, Lewis carefully searched for various traces in the detective office. He did not return to the attic to rest until he was sure that all traces of the fight had been dealt with.

At this time, the sky had begun to turn white.

As soon as he lay down, Lewis' inspiration struck. After he turned on his psychic vision, he saw a huge skeleton messenger crawling out from under the floor. The skeleton messenger looked at him with its empty eyes burning with fire, and then threw a letter in his face.

“I must complain to Mr. Azik!” Lewis felt his blood boiling as he watched the bone messenger turn into illusory bones and disappear.

No matter how rational he was, being humiliated by the messenger again and again was unbearable for him.

After opening the letter, Lewis confirmed the content.

"Miss Sera has received the contract made by the notary. She asked me to fulfill my promise and help her complete the promotion ceremony." After confirming the content, Lewis burned the letter.

He took out a pen and paper, and agreed on the time and place with Miss Sera on the letter paper. He also mentioned the issue of the messenger, and then blew the Azik copper whistle.

Almost at the same time as the copper whistle sounded, a huge skeleton messenger emerged from under the floor. The messenger stretched out its bony claws, waiting for Lewis to put the letter over.

"I really wish it was you who delivered the letter every time." Looking at this polite messenger, Lewis' mood suddenly improved. He delivered the letter to the skeleton messenger and watched the messenger disappear.

At eight o'clock in the morning, Lewis opened the door of the detective agency as usual. He made a cup of black tea and read today's news.

After what happened last night, he had to hide his "abnormality".
