Secret: The undead do not die in the fire

Chapter 43 Demonic Ritual
243 New Year Road, Hillston.

At the gate, stood a young man with messy brown hair, his face clearly filled with gloom.

"team leader."

The moment he saw Simon, Ash and others, a glimmer of hope seemed to appear on his originally gloomy face.

"Rayleigh."

Simon's voice was still hoarse, "Open the door."

Rayleigh responded silently, grabbed the door handle and opened the door for them.

Before entering the house, Yu Jin and his companions smelled a strong smell of blood.

Through the open door, they saw the scene inside the house.

On the living room floor, there was a lady in a gorgeous long dress lying.

Blood spread from her abdomen, staining her skirt and the ground red, creating a horrific scene like hell.

That’s Eve, Eve Fisher, the Extraordinary from Simon’s team.

Embers remembered her.

He had met the other person in the detective agency not long ago. He remembered that she was a girl with a delicate face and a faint smile on her lips.

But now, the girl named Eve has turned into a stiff corpse.

Her delicate face was distorted by pain, and she had obviously suffered great torture before her death.

There was a huge bloody wound on her abdomen, but the abdominal cavity inside the wound was empty.

Blood had already flowed all over the floor, solidifying and sticking to the ground, but the internal organs were gone.

"Lorota."

Simon's voice was still hoarse, but there was a trace of deep hatred in his eyes. He gritted his teeth and said, "I hope you can communicate with Eve and find the murderer who killed her!"

In order to protect the scene, they tried not to touch anything and did not even bury Eve's body when Lolota, the real psychic, arrived, hoping to use psychic communication to find the murderer who killed Eve!

"It can't be done."

Luo Luota stood beside Eve's body in silence for a long time, her face becoming bitter. "Her spirit disappeared. It should be said that all the spirits that were originally here have disappeared. The new spirit knows nothing."

After receiving the acting method from Ember, she has been actively acting these days since returning to Backlund.

He worked during the day and performed at night, without even having time to rest, and only then was he successfully promoted to a Sequence 7 psychic.

At this stage, the path of the 'corpse collector' will undergo a qualitative change.

Psychics can master various mystical rituals related to spirits and can communicate directly with natural spirits and wandering souls in the real world.

And this is exactly why Simon asked her for help.

However, it is difficult for a clever woman to make a meal without rice.

Even a psychic.

Without the spirit, she was powerless.

"The spirit disappeared?"

Simon and Al's expressions darkened at the same time.

Although a night has passed, most of the spirits will definitely dissipate.

But the remaining part can also allow them to obtain some superficial information.

But now Luo Luota said that the spirit had completely disappeared, which meant that someone had interfered in advance!

The murderer knew someone would come to investigate, so he cleaned up the scene in advance.

"Then we can only use the most traditional method."

Borgia spoke up.

Simon closed his eyes in pain, but his rich experience still allowed him to begin analyzing the case.

“Although fortune tellers are not good at fighting, Eve is already a Sequence 8 Joker. Even if she was promoted not long ago, she should not be completely defenseless. But there are almost no signs of fighting at the scene, which means that the person who killed her is at least a Sequence 7 or even a Sequence 6 Beyonder!”

"What's the reason?"

Rayleigh, another extraordinary person from Simon's team, clenched his fists and asked, "Why did the murderer kill Eve?"

"The most common reasons for murder are revenge and passion."

Al frowned and gave his own guess, "Could it be revenge from a certain wild Beyonder who was being tracked down?"

As official Beyonders, they would inevitably offend some wild Beyonders, especially those members of extreme cults such as the Aurora Society. This seemed like something they could do.

Unfortunately, there are too few clues now and we can’t make any guesses.

"There's one more clue."

Lolota spoke slowly, "Although the smell is faint, there is the scent of cloves and gooseberries in the air. In addition, the murderer emptied Eve's internal organs. This is more like some kind of ritual."

"If it's a ceremony,"

Al's expression became serious, and he said in a deep voice, "That's the Blood Cult or the Rose School!"

Backlund has many Beyonders from ancient organizations.

Among these organizations, there are relatively harmless ones like the Dawn of Elements and the Brotherhood of Pure Light, as well as extreme terrorists like the Aurora Society who believe in the "True Creator".

And when it comes to rituals, there are only the Blood Cult that worships the devil and the Rose School that likes bloody sacrifices.

Among them, the Blood Worship Cult masters the 'criminal' sequence path, while the Rose School masters the 'prisoner' sequence path.

Just from the names of the potions, one can guess how high the crime rate of Beyonders in these two sequence paths is.

Although we still don’t know who the murderer is.

But at least we have been able to preliminarily lock down the scope, and it is most likely done by the Blood Cult or the Rose School.

If you want to narrow the scope further, you can only find out why the other party is targeting Eve.

The most likely reason why a wild Extraordinary killed an official Extraordinary is still revenge.

Simon

Al said in a deep voice, "It would be best to start with those wild Beyonders you have been tracking down recently. We will also help investigate the case."

"it is good."

Simon responded hoarsely, but did not take any further action. He just stood in front of the corpse without saying a word.

Al was silent until Borgia pulled him and gave him a look.

Finally, the four members of Team El and Rayleigh left the living room, leaving the space to Simon alone.

"Smoking?"

Al asked as he pulled out a pack of cigarettes from somewhere, silently took out a match and lit it for himself.

"Give me one."

Borgia, who never smoked, said in a low voice.

Al was not vague and threw the cigarette over.

"Simon and Eve are a couple."

Luo Luota glanced at Yu Jin beside her and explained softly, "They had originally decided to get married next month, but now..."

As she spoke, Luo Luota's eyes dimmed.

Although they are both extraordinary people, and although she and Eve are not even on the same team.

But as women, their friendship is very deep.

The day before yesterday, they went shopping together to celebrate her promotion to psychic.

Who would have thought that in just two days, things would turn out like this?

Yu Jin remained silent and didn't say much.

He had learned some information on the way here.

When Eve joined the Nighthawks two years ago, she was assigned to Simon's team.

The team consists of three people, Simon, Rayleigh, and Eve. This is the standard configuration of Backlund's Nighthawks.

The team usually consists of three to four people, usually two extraordinary people from the Night Watch path and one extraordinary person from an auxiliary profession, and the extraordinary people from the auxiliary profession are usually corpse collectors or fortune tellers.

This was also the standard configuration for the Aiel team before Embers arrived.

Eve was promoted to Sequence 8 'Joker' half a month ago, and is about to enter the marriage palace with Simon.

What should have been a bright future with both career and love boom has now turned into a cold corpse.

“I can’t do anything.”

Luo Luota closed her eyes in some pain.
