Komut is a mountainous town with a vast area and sparse population, and there are not many police officers. Zuo Han and Song Ya walked in front of the crowd and saw only four police officers maintaining order and blocking the crowd.
The two found a higher stone platform and looked inside. After seeing the situation clearly, their expressions changed at the same time.
In the corner, lying a female corpse.
The head and limbs were all cut off and separated. The torso of the female corpse was even more flesh and blood. A mass of flesh and blood flowed out of the abdominal cavity. It was unknown what organ it was.
"Who did this? It's so cruel!" Song Ya was furious.
The woman looked like an ordinary woman in her attire, and there were several people beside her crying who must be relatives.
Zuo Han didn't speak, but his brows almost knitted together.
It looked like the woman had been killed with a sharp knife, but something seemed wrong.
The body was cut, but the clothes didn't seem to be damaged at all.
"Wait a moment, I'll take a closer look." Zuo Han jumped off the stone platform and squeezed into the crowd.
Several policemen, sweating profusely, blocked the crowd, waiting for support, and did not bother to look at the body. Zuo Han naturally squeezed out of the crowd and walked up to the body without anyone noticing.
Zuo Han squatted down and carefully observed the wound, his pupils suddenly shrank.
The wounds on this woman's body were not punctured by external force, but split open from the inside.
Death hint!
Zuo Han clenched his fists and his eyes became colder.
………………
There was once a case where a group of people played tricks on their companions, blindfolded them and tied them to the railway tracks, waiting for the train to arrive.
The train passed by the nearby railway track, but the person who was tied up still died. In popular terms, he was frightened to death, but the autopsy results found that there were still signs of strong impact on the body of the deceased.
This is a hint of death.
What Zuo Han knew was another hint of death similar to this principle.
An ability similar to hypnosis.
After reaching level 10 strength and opening the ultimate forbidden area, everyone will gain a unique ability, and hint of death is one of them.
The caster's spiritual seeds are planted in the enemy's mind, and then activated by will, causing the enemy to have fatal hallucinations such as burning, cutting, poisoning, etc.
Because of the existence of spiritual seeds, this kind of hallucination can completely become reality. Even if the person who is infected is standing there safe and sound, as long as a similar hallucination occurs, the body will immediately react accordingly.
A person who imagines himself being burned by fire will have burns on his body; a person who imagines being chopped by a knife will also have cuts on his body...
…………
Is there a Level 10 Forbidden Domain expert here? Could it be the vice-captain that Moro said? There are angel bones nearby, so it's not surprising that the Holy Knights came here.
Zuo Han thought about it and found that there should be no other level 10 strong men on earth now.
However, even if they are really members of the Holy Court, why would they kill ordinary people?
If it is true as Morrow said, it is normal for the Seventh Knights to reorganize and mix in some perverted guys. However, there is absolutely no way that such a person can become the vice-captain.
All promotions and appointments in the Knights must be personally reviewed and approved by the leader. Even if Celsa is even more idiotic than before, it is impossible for him to make such a mistake.
…
"Who asked you to come in? Get out quickly..."
The police who came to support found Zuo Han and kicked him out with curses.
The moment Zuo Han left, he suddenly heard a conversation between two policemen.
"Why is it so bloody here?"
"Damn it. There hasn't been a murder in this town for ten years, and then there are two. And they're all so perverted."
"The good days are finally over..."
Zuo Han's heart suddenly moved.
After getting out of the crowd, he called Song Ya and headed to another crime scene.
The town is so big, there are things that cannot be hidden, so if you just ask anyone, Zuo Han will go to another place.
The situation here may have been discovered earlier. The police had already set up a cordon, preventing them from getting close, and the body was blocked with a fence.
Zuo Han looked around and climbed onto the roof of a nearby house, looking down from a high position. He had a clear view of the situation inside.
It was a male corpse, torn into pieces and in a miserable state of death.
But unlike before, this corpse had its head and limbs twisted off by external force. The torn clothes showed this. However, the expression of the corpse was very calm. It seemed that it did not feel anything when it died. It was killed instantly, indicating that the murderer
His movements were very fast. He severed the head of the deceased before he could react.
Zuo Han was about to leave when he glanced at the body inadvertently and couldn't help but pause. With a click, Zuo Han squeezed out a gap in the roof crenel that he was holding on to. The sand and gravel crushed into powder slipped out from between Zuo Han's fingers.
flow out slowly.
Next to the corpse was a figure wiped out with blood, like some kind of writing.
Zuo Han recognized that pattern.
That pattern does not belong to the earth, but is a kind of text of a certain cosmic civilization.
"The first one!"
Even if they are not from the Holy Court, there are other powerful people from the universe here. But no matter what the reason is, there is no way that the Holy Court knights here are unaware of it.
The first one...
Is this killing just the beginning?
Seeing Zuo Han's expression was different, Song Ya asked, "What should we do? Are we still going to the mountains?"
"Let's put aside the matter of the skeleton for now and solve the immediate matter first." Zuo Han's eyes flickered uncertainly.
Zuo Han was not pitiful, but he vaguely felt that this matter was not that simple. Zuo Han's purpose was not only to obtain energy and memory cores, but also to deal with the knights coming here from the Holy Court.
…………
Overnight, two murder cases occurred in the small town, and the methods were so cruel. In just half a day, the whole town was full of rumors, and various theories emerged one after another. Elizabeth was even more excited after waking up in the afternoon, and did not bother to blame Zuo Han.
Carrying a small book and going out for interviews, it actually saved Zuo Han a lot of trouble.
The name Jack the Ripper also appeared in Zuo Han's ears for the first time.
Although the British police have sealed the files of the series of cases, it is impossible to completely block the news, and some rumors among the people are inevitable. Elizabeth, in particular, knows a lot of inside stories.
Combined with Elizabeth's intelligence, Zuo Han obtained some information through various means and discovered some tricks.
The method of killing that woman was exactly the same as that of Jack the Ripper, but the other one's style was completely different.
Moreover, the Ripper case appeared five years ago, and no special symbols appeared. Could it be that this time, two murderers committed the crime?
Zuo Han came to some conclusions, but because the investigation has just begun, the true identity of the Ripper has not been found yet. However, Zuo Han also focused on Elizabeth's old friend Jack.
Not because of the same name, but that weird feeling.
If you have some of the abilities of the Ultimate Forbidden Zone, it's not surprising that you can feel threatened.
Just when Zuo Han wanted to conduct more investigations, an unexpected trouble appeared.
The tabloid office in the town of Komut received two anonymous letters. The senders claimed to be the instigators of the murder and said that last night was just the beginning. Their game would continue tonight.
The tabloid found a treasure and published the two letters without the permission of the police, causing an uproar.
The police acted like a formidable enemy and deployed controls everywhere. They were short of manpower and organized many young and strong townspeople. Outsiders like Zuo Han were closely monitored as key suspects and could not even leave the room at will.
Wu Huashan was so happy that he personally carried a baseball and two waiter sticks and moved into Zuo Han's room, like an enthusiastic citizen.
He didn't think Zuo Han was the murderer, he was just using it to vent his revenge, which was disgusting.
Because of Wu Huashan's intervention, Zuo Han didn't go out at night, but he didn't hear anything special. But early the next morning, the murder happened again.
The victims were all ordinary townspeople, still a man and a woman, and the victimization method was the same as the day before yesterday.
The town was suddenly panicked, and what happened next plunged the whole town into great panic and chaos.
First, some townspeople found that their mobile phones and the Internet had lost signals.
Komut is located in a mountainous area and is often interfered by unknown radio waves. This kind of communication interruption occurs from time to time, which can last for several days at most. The townspeople are used to it. But it happens at this time, which still makes people feel uncomfortable.
Very uneasy.
Some townspeople were too scared and wanted to leave for temporary refuge. But when they left the town, they found that the roads were also blocked.
From the town of Komut to the outside, there is a bridge that must be passed. If you want to go around it, you have to walk through mountains and rivers, and you can only walk.
But I don’t know what happened, but the bridge collapsed. There was also a landslide on the hillside. Unless you use perfect mountain climbing equipment and have some experience, it is unrealistic to take a detour.
Zuo Han and Song Ya also went to the bridge to take a look. After seeing the broken bridge, their eyes became more and more strange.
That bridge was obviously man-made.
Several supporting points suffered continuous bombardment, which led to the collapse of the bridge.
This shows that someone deliberately wanted to blockade the town of Komut.
Even if others cannot see the real reason for the collapse of the bridge, it is not difficult to guess it. And as an ordinary person, his imagination is richer than Zuo Han.
The idea of a murderer or a murderer is outdated. The latest popular theory is that an evil organization wants to summon Satan from hell and wants to use the entire town as sacrifices.
At this time, the whole town was in chaos. The townspeople either gathered at the bridge to check, or surrounded the police station. In short, it was chaos.
Wu Huashan no longer cared about Zuo Han, and huddled in a room with his men, using kitchen knives, kerosene, shotguns and rolling pins to build a strong fortress.
Zuo Han, who was free, no longer wanted to wait in the house.
At night, Zuo Han asked Song Ya to stay in the room to protect Elizabeth, and he went out under the cover of night.
Because of the continuous occurrence of murders, the townspeople have become much quieter. Except for the police patrolling at night, there is no one on the street at all, and the whole town is extremely quiet. Even the footsteps of police patrols can be heard far away.
Zuo Han chose a commanding height in the center of the town and quietly observed the movements around him. (To be continued...)
