The conversations between Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi were all conducted through the team channel, and Yahan, who was walking in front, knew nothing about it.
This is also the benefit of permanently building a team. As long as teammates are within a certain distance, they can secretly transmit information, which is similar to the "sound transmission into secret" in martial arts novels. There is no need to worry about being "intercepted" by high-level experts.
Sealed wooden boxes that looked like coffins were excavated from the ruins. Many wooden boxes had been smashed into pieces.
Yahan stood in front of a wooden box and opened the lid.
A slight corpse smell came out, and inside the wooden box was a man's corpse.
Yahan inspected carefully, and Bai Xiaowen noticed that his thick eyebrows frowned again.
"Is there any problem?" Bai Xiaowen asked in a low voice.
Yahan shook his head and said, "That's not right."
Bai Xiaowen cast a doubtful look just right.
"I mean, there's something wrong with this body," Yahan said thoughtfully. "This body has been stored for several years. And the missing persons case started in the past two months."
"It's impossible. A corpse that has been stored for several years should have rotted long ago." Bai Xiaowen questioned.
Yahan was not angry when he was questioned, but took out some light yellow powder from the wooden box and said: "Here is the secret. This is 'incorruptible powder', a gadget that many alchemists can make.
, it can keep the body from rotting for many years. Of course, it must be in a sealed environment to be effective. If you open the lid of the box, the body will still rot after a while."
Bai Xiaowen thought about it and understood.
The decay of corpses is caused by the reproduction of microorganisms. This kind of incorruptible powder should be a chemical substance that kills microorganisms. In a sealed environment, moisture and air cannot enter, so there is naturally no space for microorganisms to reproduce. Of course, the corpse will not
It will rot.
Alchemy in the spiritual world can often be explained by scientific systems.
Although Bai Xiaowen understood, he could not show his approval. Instead, he looked unwilling: "Maybe this body is wrong, what about the other bodies?"
Yahan showed a smile, probably because he thought this unwilling young man was quite interesting, so he led the two of them to continue checking the corpses stored in other boxes. As expected, the corpses in these boxes had been stored for many years.
"How... is this possible? I thought that the alchemist was the mastermind behind the scenes, and that Hoch Town could regain its peace from now on... How could this be possible?" Bai Xiaowen murmured, with a look of despair on his face.
Li Shuyi turned her face away and tried her best to control her expression.
However, Yahan was completely fooled by Bai Xiaowen's acting skills. He patted Bai Xiaowen on the shoulder and said, "Actually, you don't have to feel sad. Voodoo is an evil sect. It is a crime in itself to desecrate the corpse of the deceased and conduct taboo experiments. I still
Thank you for helping Hodgetown find and destroy this cancer of voodoo."
After a pause, Yahan continued: "Don't worry, I will lead these great guys from the patrol team to find out the inside story of the missing persons case. I, Alexey Yahan, hereby swear that I will
Find those evildoers and protect the people of Hodgetown."
Bai Xiaowen immediately said: "Mr. Sheriff, we also need to participate in the investigation! If these villains are not arrested, I will not be at ease."
Yahan said happily: "From the destruction of the voodoo sect's lair this time, I have seen your ability. I accept your joining."
Spiritual world rules prompt information:
"Hodge Town Sheriff Alexei Yahan has agreed to your participation in the search for a missing persons case."
"You have obtained a special item: the Patrol Militia Nameplate. With this nameplate, you can walk freely during the curfew in Hodge Town."
"You have obtained permission to enter the Sheriff's residence and access information on missing persons cases."
Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi looked at each other, and they could see the excitement in each other's eyes. In this way, the main task was on the right track, and then all that was left was to solve the puzzle, which was Bai Xiaowen's strength.
Next, Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi went directly to Sheriff Yahan's house and enjoyed a sumptuous dinner.
Yahan's wife is quite beautiful, her name is Ginny, and she has the temperament of a lady in every gesture. Yahan proudly introduced that Ginny is the apple of the eye of the mayor of Hodge Town. She is gentle and intelligent, and was favored by many famous people in Hodge Town.
Young people pursue status. Yahan only won Ginny's heart after defeating more than a dozen love rivals.
Of course, Bai Xiaowen didn't care about Yahan's wife. He was even more concerned about what would be found in the treasure chest dropped by the crazy alchemist Norton. After enjoying dinner, Bai Xiaowen asked to rest on the pretext of being tired.
Yahan's house was relatively spacious, and he was very hospitable. He asked his wife Jinni to clean up the spare room and let Bai Xiaowen and the two of them stay.
That night, Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi sat opposite each other and took out the large gold treasure chest that Norton had dropped.
Bai Xiaowen put his hand on the treasure box.
This time he killed the voodoo alchemist Norton, the combat score was A, and Bai Xiaowen had 3 drawing opportunities without byes.
Logically speaking, this battle score is a bit low, because Norton is a level 8 leader, and Bai Xiaowen is only a level 5 leader. There is a big gap, and there is also the critical threshold of leveling up to level 7. However, judging from the comparison of the strengths of the two sides,
, the gap is not more than three times different, and it is somewhat impossible to get an S-level rating.
A total of twenty gold cards flew out of the treasure box and formed two neat rows, suspended in the air.
Li Shuyi ordered one first.
"You have obtained a special item: Frost Poison Formula."
[Frost Poison Recipe: Teaches you how to make Frost Poison, which requires Alchemist (Pharmacist) level 7 to learn. Frost Poison Effect: Creates a frost deceleration field, which increases the movement speed and attack speed of all targets in the field (regardless of friend or foe).
Reduction, the value is related to your alchemist (pharmacist) level. The higher the level, the greater the reduction ratio. This effect dissipates 5 seconds after leaving the frost poison area.】
Bai Xiaowen's eyes lit up: "Not bad, not bad. It's a pity that my pharmacist level is only level 4 and a half now. It will take some time to work hard to reach level 7."
As a sub-professional pharmacist, if you want to improve your level, you can only use a large number of potions to build up your proficiency.
Bai Xiaowen's focus was not on pharmaceuticals. He just made a few bottles of potions in his free time and auctioned them to Chaoshen Pharmacy to increase his popularity and advertise. Therefore, his pharmacist level has never been high.
There is an extra proficiency bonus for making perfect potions, which is why Bai Xiaowen, a half-hearted pharmacist who "doesn't do his job properly", can quickly reach level 4. As long as he concentrates on making medicines well, level 7 pharmacist is not far away.
