The nights in the suburbs of Zman are very similar to the Gerst area where Quins once lived. When it gets dark, there are no people on the streets. Even the gangsters don't dare to go out alone at night.
Buddy lowered the curtains and looked back: "What should we do now? This place is not small. It is impossible for the two of us to predict where the murderer is."
Quins was silent for a moment and then said: "Go get a glass of water."
"Pour water? Are you still in the mood to drink water at this time?" Buddy yelled.
"Divination." Quins interrupted Buddy directly.
Buddy: "You can also do divination."
"Fresh, are there any wizards who can do divination?" Quins rolled his eyes.
"Okay, okay, I'll pour it." After receiving Quins' affirmative answer, Buddy suddenly became energetic.
A glass of water was quickly placed in front of Quins.
Buddy asked curiously: "What kind of divination method are you doing? Does it require water?"
"Water mirror divination." Quines replied succinctly. This is a divination method he developed from the Golden Horn Secret Tradition.
"Water mirror divination?" Buddy shook his head: "I've never heard of it. Is this thing reliable?"
"have no idea."
"have no idea?"
Quins: "First time using it."
Buddy was stunned.
No matter what, having a method is better than having no method at all.
The water mirror divination method is very simple. You only need to condense a drop of water with elements, inject the content that needs to be divination into the water drop with spiritual power, and finally drop it into the center of the water. Use the water splashes, ripples, etc. in the water cup to interpret the divination content.
After signaling Buddy to be quiet, Quins solemnly pulled out a quarter element from the Pearl of Elements. After thinking about it, he pulled out a quarter element from the transformation of life elements, and extracted a quarter element from the wheel of time.
Draw out a quarter of space element from the heart fire, draw a quarter of the heart element from the fire of the soul and stack them together.
When he used prophecy and witchcraft to take advantage of the enemy, Quines used different elemental powers to perform witchcraft, and the effect after casting would be enhanced in certain aspects depending on the different elemental powers.
The elements of life, time, space, and heart all have different methods of divination in the mysterious world, with different effects. But what is certain is that the divination methods derived from this are not ordinary. Just like Quines
The fragments of fate caught by chance are a very illustrative example.
Of course, it is impossible for ordinary extraordinary people to use Quins' method. After all, one person can only practice one secret, and it is even more difficult to superimpose the power of multiple elements.
Quins carefully wrapped the power of the four elements layer by layer, and finally wrapped it with a witchcraft model constructed from the water element. A drop of water that looked slightly turbid was quietly born.
Quins worked hard to maintain the balance of the water drop in his hand. At this moment, he knew that he was in trouble. The superposition of the five elemental powers was definitely not as simple as superposition. Fortunately, there were not many scales to extract, otherwise the water drop in his hand would
His hand must be blown to pieces immediately.
Slowly controlling the water droplets to reach the top of the cup, Quins quietly released his control over the water droplets.
drop!
Just when the turbid water droplets were about to get out of control, the water droplets dripped into the water surface.
The witchcraft model constructed by the four life elements along the water element burst into bloom, creating ripples in the water.
Fortunately, he succeeded. Quins wiped the sweat from his forehead and knew clearly that he wanted to use the power of multiple elements together. At this stage, he was 100% sure that he could only fuse the power of two elements, and then go on.
The chance of success in stacking has plummeted, and it is even more dangerous to use it in actual combat.
Although his thoughts were turbulent, Quins, who had two dimensions of thinking, was not distracted by the situation in the water glass.
Normally, the ripples in the water glass spread from the center to the surroundings, but now it is exactly the opposite. Three circles of ripples unexpectedly flowed from the surroundings to the center, and stopped immediately after three circles.
Above the water, a distorted picture flashed past. The last unhurried counterclockwise vortex destroyed everything in the water.
"It's really effective. What do these symbols mean?" Buddy said excitedly.
"Stop talking, let me think." Quins said. Originally, if the water element was used for divination, there would only be a circle of forward or reverse ripples to determine whether the divination question in the water drop was right or wrong.
Other symbols.
"There are ripples in the direction, the murderer will appear tonight."
"Three circles of ripples may be at three o'clock tonight, or in the direction of three o'clock, or both." This is the time and space elements at work.
"The picture flashing on the water is nothing to say, maybe it is the scene of a murder." This is the role of life elements and emptiness elements.
"The last counterclockwise vortex may represent the degree of danger, neither high nor low." This is the heart element.
"It's all possible, possible." Buddy felt something was wrong.
"Didn't I say that it's my first time to use it, so it's also my first time to interpret it naturally."
"Uh!" Buddy patted his head: "I can't tell you, but do you still remember where the scene in that painting is? We inspected this place during the day, and I still have some impressions. You bastard, you are so bold.
, it didn’t take more than a day after committing the crime that I couldn’t bear it any longer.”
"Let me think about it." Quins said, but the soul witchcraft in his mind was not idle, and the scenes he had seen during the day flashed rapidly.
"Found it. Half a mile away from us, in the alley at six o'clock." Quins said suddenly.
"It's six o'clock, so the time may be three o'clock." Even if Fabadi is excluded, he still knows.
"Without further delay, go immediately and ambush."
Neither Buddy nor Quins hesitated whether the divination method was correct or whether the divination results were distorted. Now, Quins' divination was their only hope.
Of course, Quins didn't think that his divination results would be misled. He boldly used the power of the five elements to perform divination. The danger was a bit dangerous, but even if the murderer had anti-divination means, Quins' bold prediction would still be unreasonable.
You can get a glimpse of something.
Three o'clock in the morning is a time of complete silence.
In the darkness, Buddy couldn't help but ask a question that he had never figured out: "There is a question that I haven't figured out yet."
Quins: "You are asking why there are boys appearing in the alleys at night here, and there are three in a row. It is completely unreasonable to say that the parents are not optimistic about them."
Buddy: "Yeah, that's weird."
"I think the answer has appeared, look over there."
The planning of Taopaphi is very good. Even in such a remote suburb, there are sewage facilities such as sewers. At this time, the sewer manhole cover near the alley was slowly moved away, and a small head was slowly revealed.
came out.
"..." Buddy: "The answer is yes, but a little boy came out of the sewer in the middle of the night. It looks weird."
This case is getting more and more interesting.
After coming out of the sewer and closing the manhole cover, the little boy walked into the alley step by step. He didn't look around, nor was he lively and alert. Everything seemed to be prefabricated, like... a machine.
After walking blankly to the middle of the alley, the little boy stopped and stood there expressionless, motionless.
Quins looked at the position where the little boy stopped and compared the positions where the victims of the first three murders died, hoping to see some patterns among them, but he had no clue. The positions of the four people were all different.
same.
The paradoxical scene made Buddy tell Quins what to do with his eyes.
"Wait a moment." Quines replied using the communication technique.
Sure enough, not long after, a figure flew quickly from a distance. When they saw the person clearly, Buddy and Quins looked at each other strangely, because the person who came was actually a vampire, with black smoke behind him.
The wings flapped, and a pair of scarlet eyes stood out in the dark night.
Buddy glared at Quins, didn't you say you didn't care about vampires? Look, what is this?
Quins shrugged, sometimes things are always so bizarre.
Arriving above the boy, the vampire was floating quietly, the wings behind it turned into black smoke, and a simple rune witch circle was circled above the boy's head, but the boy did not move at all and was indifferent to the outside world.
Want to take action?
Quins frowned, but finally shook his head and waited to see what would happen.
Serial murder case?! Is this a serial murder case? Judging from the current situation, it is somewhat untenable to characterize it as a murder case.
