Upon hearing such news, the priest suddenly panicked.
The expression on his face was full of anxiety and fear, and even his tone became a little trembling.
He grabbed the little boy in front of him and stared at him intently:
"Still on the boat? Still a fisherman? When did the person die? What happened this time?"
"I...I just came to report..."
The little boy was already emotionally unstable. When the priest grabbed his shoulders and questioned him like this, his already red eyes were about to shed tears, and he couldn't speak clearly:
"Dock... fishing boats... dead people..."
Watching two nervous people hold each other back, there is almost no effective information or progress between the questions and answers.
Finally, Ronald couldn't stand it anymore.
He walked over and patted the priest on the shoulder, speaking as slowly as possible:
"Mr. Coney, you scared the kid."
"Let me ask."
"well?"
After being reminded by Ronald, the priest realized how impulsive his actions were.
He quickly took two steps back and let go of his hands on the boy's shoulders, his eyes filled with guilt and remorse:
"Son, I'm so sorry."
"I'm so nervous."
It's a pity that this apology has no effect.
The little boy was still there looking panicked, and the fear in his pupils did not slow down at all.
Seeing this situation, Ronald simply walked over and bent down so that his eyes were at the same level as the little boy.
Looking at the other person's pupils carefully, he said:
"Good boy, I know you may have seen something very scary just now, but you can rest assured, uncle... Big brother, I came to Seraphis just to deal with this matter."
"So tell me."
"What exactly is going on at the dock?"
The attitude of looking at each other equally lowered the little boy's alertness, and after a period of comfort, his mood finally stabilized. He glanced outside the church with some fear, and the little boy said:
"Still...still at the dock."
"The adults who came back this morning heard the priest say it was all right. They were already ready to harvest, but when they returned to the dock, they found that one family did not get off the boat today!"
"Then...then they immediately gathered around to check."
"That's when I saw the body!"
"..."
After thinking for two or three seconds, Ronald asked:
"Did that just happen?"
The little boy nodded curtly and said:
"Yes, as soon as the news came out, I came to the church."
Hearing the boy's answer, Ronald nodded, then turned to look at the priest.
"Mr. Connie, please take care of this child first."
"I'll go to the dock to check the specific situation. If there are any problems, I will deal with them."
"no problem."
The priest's voice behind him reached his ears. Without any hesitation, Ronald straightened up and walked towards the church door.
Subconsciously, he reached out and touched the revolver in his arms.
If there are a lot of ordinary people present, it will not be easy to use the black mist of "The Divine Comedy" at that time, so I might as well try using this thing...
Maybe something like time travel can cure problems like missing the target when shooting?
While thinking, Ronald walked towards the dock of Celephais.
On the way to the destination, some frightened women or children could be seen everywhere on the streets, roads, and doorways of houses around the town.
It’s obvious——
After the priest told everyone yesterday that the place was safe, problems immediately occurred this morning. This kind of "broken trust" by authority figures can easily make the crowd uneasy.
Not to mention that the 'monster' that appears in Celephasis is still capable of taking people's lives!
My mood sank little by little.
Ronald rushed to the dock without saying a word.
From a distance, he saw many people gathered around a wooden ferry, and a small fishing boat was docked at the berth.
Ronald adjusted his coat and then walked towards the crowd:
"Excuse me, please. I want to examine the body of the victim."
"..."
The road gives way at a speed visible to the naked eye.
When the fisherman on the dock saw Ronald's dress, he knew what the man in front of him did.
After all, Willard and his three investigators were active in Celephais in the past few days.
Squeeze through the crowd [Liancheng www.wsx5.cn], step on the sampan and jump onto the fishing boat.
Thanks to the strengthening of physical fitness in "The Divine Comedy", Ronald smelled the smell of blood behind the pile of fish caught in the cabin.
It is definitely difficult to distinguish this from the smell of fish.
Following the smell, in a cabin not far away, the body of an adult man was lying on the ground.
The pale skin was stained with the blood of the deceased, mixed with seawater and fish mucus and was smeared all over the floor. As long as you set foot on it, you would surely step on these disgusting things.
Everything in front of him showed that this person was completely dead.
Ronald frowned, endured the discomfort in his heart, and walked to the body.
Even fishermen who are accustomed to a hard life only dare to stand outside and watch when faced with this scene.
Standing under the gaze of everyone, Ronald squatted down and began to check.
At the first glance, Ronald could tell something was wrong.
The most fatal wound on the body was different from the description he had seen in the documents and records before.
The fisherman who was killed by the crazy researcher a few days ago was basically disemboweled and his internal organs were removed. Although this man also lost his internal organs, he also obviously lacked some muscles in his arms and thighs.
organize.
How is this going......
Ronald was a little confused now.
At first, he was more inclined to think that someone would be influenced by the undiscovered magic book and end up with the same fate as the researcher.
But if it is the interference of the same item, why are the manifestations so different?
Shaking his head with surprise in his eyes, Ronald squatted down and continued to inspect the body.
Now he can only continue to research and see how much new information he can get from this corpse.
After a long time, Ronald confirmed the injuries on the body.
The fatal wounds on the man's body were all cut with sharp weapons, and were not the kind of marks left by human bites or beast bites.
in other words--
This guy was hacked to death with a sword or something, and then the flesh and blood from his body was peeled off.
Who did this?
The information we have is really not enough.
In doubt, Ronald looked at the fisherman standing outside the cabin:
"Does anyone know what this guy's name is?"
"And recently, has he had any quarrels or physical conflicts with anyone?"
"..."
The fishermen were silent.
Ronald waited for maybe four or five breaths.
Finally, a middle-aged fisherman walked out of the crowd.
