Mystery: The Undead Don't Die from Linking the Fire

Chapter 59 I'll Sprinkle Salt in Your Ashes

"Damn it! That piece of trash, Horace, can't he even send out a distress signal?"

Outside the Kapin Villa, a handsome man in a sharp suit looked at the corpses hanging neatly on the streetlights by the door. His face instantly darkened, and his golden eyes were filled with rage.

He was originally hidden in the shadows, responsible for protecting Kapin.

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

With Horace and the others protecting him normally, he doesn't need to lift a finger.

His presence was merely a safety net, only to intervene when Horace and his companions encountered an insurmountable enemy.

But there are prerequisites.

He can detect enemy attacks in advance.

Unfortunately, that's a shame.

Heras died without sending a signal and is now hanging from a street lamp.

If it weren't for a large group of girls claiming to have been kidnapped by Kapin escaping to the church of the Night Church, if it weren't for the patrolling police discovering the corpses neatly hanging along the road outside the villa, and if it weren't for MI9's relatively good information gathering, they would have been able to obtain this intelligence.

He's probably still in the dark!

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

He had to get into the villa before the other parties could react.

He needs to confirm the losses and destroy the evidence.

The handsome man glanced at the corpses above him; the spirits within them had long since vanished.

The handsome man immediately abandoned the psychic ritual, turned around and entered the villa. He walked straight upstairs, past the corpses of servants lying all over the hall.

He clearly had a specific goal: Kapin's study at the end of the second-floor corridor.

But when he saw the damaged door to the secret room in the study, his expression turned terribly gloomy.

The secret room was completely empty!

Whether it's the wealth accumulated by Kapin over the years, or the evidence left behind by that idiot...

"Waaaaaah!!"

Just then, the handsome man suddenly became alert.

Above his head, a short, grotesque figure, wielding a knife, came straight down towards his neck, screaming wildly.

"Imprisonment!"

The handsome man became alert and raised his left hand, instantly freezing the figure rushing towards him in mid-air.

"What the hell is this thing?"

The handsome man looked at the little monster that was trapped in mid-air above his head and was still making strange noises. It wore a black hood and held a curved knife that emitted a cold, sinister light, but its body was semi-transparent.

Without a doubt, this is a ghost.

In his understanding, extraordinary individuals who can control ghosts are either corpse collectors or prisoners.

"madness."

The handsome man gave a cold laugh.

The opponent placed this ghost here to ambush them, but that was the most foolish move they made.

Because this clearly gave him the evidence 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 still give him more information!

Just as he was thinking this, the handsome man's spirituality suddenly warned him again.

Yu Guangzhong saw a blinding crimson light shoot out from the shadows.

"Imprisonment!"

The handsome man's pupils contracted sharply, and he immediately raised his right hand to point at the figure.

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

But then he felt a sharp pain in his wrist.

Despite his timely response, his wrist was still severely bitten.

The dog that bit him was a skinny, wild dog with scarlet eyes.

The handsome man's golden eyes blazed with furious fire.

A mere stray dog ​​managed to bite him!

……

"Someone has triggered my trap."

Inside a house in Hillston, Ember suddenly spoke.

How did you know?

Fors, who was hugging and rubbing against Kurala, asked with some curiosity.

"Because the little slave died."

Yu Jin gave a casual explanation, then took out a square urn with a glaring scarlet color and gently shook it with a summoning bell.

After a moment of silence, Yu Jin suddenly said, "However, he's about to die too."

Why?

Hugh was also a little confused.

"He was bitten."

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

"Just a bite and you're going to die? Did you poison me?"

Hugh and Fors exchanged a glance, both looking somewhat puzzled.

But they had no doubts about it.

After all, Ember was only a Sequence 9... a magic master who had just been promoted to Sequence 8.

Even if his opponent is strong, he should only be at most Sequence 8.

For an official Sequence 8 Beyonder, killing a wild Sequence 8 Beyonder shouldn't be too difficult.

Ember didn't intend to explain further.

Is he going to explain that it was because the one who bit the other was the Dog King, who carried the crimson corruption enough to kill gods?

Hugh and Fors didn't intend to press the matter further.

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

"Oh, right."

Fors suddenly asked with some curiosity, "Are Kurala and the others assassins? Hmm~, I mean, assassins."

"Yes."

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

He would go and cause trouble for Kapin that night, not because he was bored.

Instead, we need to provide opportunities for the Kurara sisters, who have already become "this moment," to play their roles—

After all, assassinating scum like Kapin would provide Kurala and the others with an opportunity to play the role without any psychological burden.

"Um."

Fors's expression was somewhat strange. "Kurara should be a ghost, right? How did you turn her into an assassin?"

It's easy to understand why people who drink magic potions become extraordinary.

It's easy to understand why animals can be transformed into extraordinary creatures by drinking magic potions.

but.

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

"It's very simple."

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

"Are you a pervert?!"

Fors felt a chill and his whole body was covered in hair.

"This will work?"

Hugh found it rather strange that ashes drinking a potion could have a reaction on the spirit body; this was unheard of before.

"I tried."

Yu Jin's words were concise and to the point, without any intention of going into further explanation.

Because it wasn't something he cared about.

He is now pondering another matter, namely, the words that Capin confessed before his death.

"Although he was stalling for time, it shouldn't be a lie."

"He didn't explicitly say it was the royal family, but the information he hinted at was quite clear."

"And the extraordinary individuals around him also serve as good evidence of this."

Yu Jin's eyes flickered; he vaguely felt that he had grasped some important information.

Based on his experience.

An ordinary person can only provide 1 point of soul.

A Sequence 9 Extraordinary has 5 points, while a Sequence 8 Extraordinary has 50 points.

The extraordinary being named Heras provided a full 5000 soul points, which is why he was able to determine that the other party was a Sequence 6 extraordinary being.

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

The other three had 500 points each, with two having 50 points and one having 50 points.

That is, two sequences of 7 and one sequence of 8.

Such security conditions are probably comparable to those of Earl Hall, which is not the treatment that human traffickers should receive.

If he was initially skeptical of Kapin's words, he is now basically certain.

The force that allowed Kapin to traffic people and provided him with protection was the royal family!

But why?

Why would the royal family support a human trafficker, and why would they need so many slaves?

Ember's thoughts paused for a moment, because almost subconsciously, a possibility occurred to him—

Is it related to the Black Emperor?
