Secret: The undead do not die in the fire

Chapter 59 I'll Sprinkle Some Salt in Your Ashes

"Damn it! Heras is a loser. Can't he even send out a distress signal?"

Outside the Kapin Villa, a handsome man in a neat suit looked at the corpses hanging neatly on the street lamp at the door. His face suddenly darkened and his golden eyes were filled with anger.

He was originally responsible for hiding in the dark and protecting Kapin.

To be precise, it was to protect their 'business' with Kapin.

Normally, with Heras and others protecting me, I don't need to do anything myself.

His existence is only as an insurance policy, and he will only take action when Heras and his men encounter an enemy they cannot defeat.

Provided that.

He can detect the enemy's attack in advance.

Unfortunately.

Heras was unable to send a signal until his death, and now he is hung on a street lamp.

If not for a large group of girls who claimed to have been kidnapped by Kapin and fled to the church of the Church of Night, if not for the patrolling police who discovered the bodies neatly hung along the way outside the villa, if not for the MI9 being well-informed and knowing this information.

I'm afraid he is still kept in the dark!

But he also knew that now was not the time for impotent rage.

He must enter the villa before other forces react.

He needs to confirm the loss and at the same time, destroy the evidence.

The handsome man glanced at the corpses above his head; the spirits in their bodies had long since disappeared.

The handsome man immediately gave up the spiritualism and turned to enter the villa. He walked past the bodies of the servants lying on the ground in the hall and went straight upstairs.

He obviously had a clear goal, which was Kapin's study at the end of the corridor on the second floor.

But when he saw the destroyed door of the secret room in the study, his expression became terribly gloomy.

The secret room was already empty!
Whether it was the financial resources that Kapin had accumulated over the years, or the evidence of crime left by that idiot...

"Wow wow wow wow!!"

At this moment, the handsome man suddenly became alert.

Above his head, a short figure screaming madly came straight towards his neck with a knife in hand.

"Confinement!"

The handsome man became alert and raised his left hand, immediately fixing the figure that was flying over his head in mid-air.

"What the hell is this?"

The handsome man looked at the little monster that was trapped in mid-air above his head but still screaming. It wore a black hood and held a scimitar that emitted a cold and sinister light in its hand, but its body was translucent.

There is no doubt that this is a ghost.

In his understanding, the extraordinary people who can control ghosts are either from the corpse collector sequence or the prisoner sequence.

"madness."

The handsome man sneered.

The other party arranged this ghost here to attack him, but this was the stupidest move.

Because this clearly gave him the credentials to investigate the other party's identity.

Even though the other party has eliminated the spirits of Heras and the others, the complete ghost in front of him can give him more information!
Just as he was thinking about it, the handsome man's spirit suddenly gave him another warning.

In the corner of my eye, a blinding scarlet light shot out from the shadows.

"Confinement!"

The handsome man's pupils shrank suddenly, and he immediately raised his right hand and pointed at the figure.

In an instant, the attacking figure was trapped in mid-air.

But then he felt a pain in his wrist.

Although he responded in time, his wrist was still bitten hard.

The one who bit him was a skinny wild dog with scarlet eyes.

Raging flames shot out of the handsome man's golden eyes.

Just a wild dog actually bit him!

……

"Someone triggered my trap."

In a house in the Hillston area, Ember suddenly spoke.

"how do you know?"

Fors, who was hugging Kurara and rubbing her hard, asked in a somewhat curious tone.

"Because the little slave is dead."

Yu Jin explained casually, then took out a square urn with a dazzling scarlet color and shook it gently with the spirit-calling bell.

After a moment's silence, Yu Jin suddenly said, "But he will die soon."

"Why?" Xio was also a little surprised.

"He was bitten."

Yu Jin put away the urn, glanced at the two of them, and said calmly.

"Just a bite will kill you? Did you poison me?"

Xio and Fors looked at each other, both feeling a little strange.

But they didn't doubt it.

After all, Yu Jin is only a Sequence 9... a magician who had just been promoted to Sequence 8.

No matter how strong his opponent is, he can only be Sequence 8 at most.

For an official Sequence 8 Beyonder, killing a wild Sequence 8 Beyonder should not be a difficult task.

And Yu Jin didn't intend to continue explaining.

Did he have to explain that the one who bit the other party was the Dog Firewood King who carried the scarlet corruption that was powerful enough to kill gods?
Xio and Fors had no intention of asking further questions.

Even if you are roommates living together, you should not pry into each other's secrets.

"correct."

Fors suddenly asked curiously, "Are Kulala and the others assassins? Um~, I mean the assassin sequence."

"Yes."

Yu Jin glanced at Fors, nodded slightly, and asked, "Did she tell you?"

He went to cause trouble for Kapin that night, certainly not because he was bored.

Instead, we need to provide the Kulala sisters, who have become the ‘present moment’, with an opportunity to act.

After all, assassinating scum like Kapin can provide Kurara and the others with an opportunity to act, and there will be no psychological burden.

"Ah."

Fors looked a little strange. "Kurara should be a ghost, right? How did you turn her into an assassin?"

It’s easy to understand how a person can become a Beyonder by drinking a potion.

It is also easy to understand that animals drink magic potions and become extraordinary animals.

but.

Ghosts don't even have bodies, so how are they supposed to drink the potion?

"It's very simple."

Ember said calmly, "Pour the potion over their ashes."

"Are you a pervert?!"

Fors felt a little chilly and felt hairy all over.

"Is this okay?"

Xio was rather surprised, it was unheard of that drinking potions from ashes could actually have an effect on the spirit.

"I tried."

Yu Jin was brief and to the point, and had no intention of explaining in depth.

Because it wasn't something worthy of attention to him.

He was now thinking about another question, which was what Kapin confessed before his death.

"Although he was stalling for time at the time, it should not be a lie."

"He didn't directly say it was the royal family, but the information he hinted at pointed to a very clear direction."

"And the several extraordinary people around him can also prove this point very well."

Yu Jin's eyes flickered, and he vaguely felt that he seemed to have grasped some important information.

According to his experience.

The soul that ordinary people can provide is only 1 point.

A Sequence 9 Beyonder has 5 points, and a Sequence 8 Beyonder has 50 points.

The Beyonder named Heras provided a full 5000 soul points, so he was able to determine that the other party was a Sequence 6 Beyonder.

This was the most generous Extraordinary he had ever seen in this world, and also the strongest one he had ever killed.

As for the other three, two have 500 points and one has 50 points.

That is, two digits of sequence 7 and one digit of sequence 8.

Such security conditions are probably not much different from those of Earl Hall. This is not the treatment that human traffickers deserve.

If he was originally skeptical about Kapin's words, now he was basically certain.

The force that allowed Kapin to traffic in human beings and provided him with protection was the royal family!
but why?
Why would the royal family support a human trafficker and why did they need so many slaves?
Yu Jin's thoughts suddenly paused for a moment, because he almost subconsciously thought of a possibility -

Is it related to the Black Emperor?
