Quince wants to see what kind of mystery this vampire is up to?
Time passes slowly.
The vampire seemed to have calculated the time. Exactly one minute after he set up the rune witch formation, a strange change occurred. Drops of tiny blood beads were squeezed out of the boy's pores and directed towards the rune witch formation above.
The waves surged forward, as if there was an upward gravitational force acting on them.
"Wrong!" Quins suddenly felt something was wrong. Although the rune witch formation above the boy was slowly moving, it was obviously not moving on the boy. Quins was running witchcraft spiritual vision.
In an instant, in his field of vision, under the ground under the boy's feet, a black and yellow energy rose up, heading straight for the rune witch formation. In the process, because the boy stood on the road he must pass, he was hit by the black and yellow energy.
The blood in his body was brought out of the body by the fusion of the black and yellow qi due to the flushing of the qi. The blood beads were gray and red, which was extremely strange.
The blood beads are dense and long, and are continuously introduced into the rune witch formation under the guidance of the black and yellow energy in the underground.
A boy's blood is extremely limited. Under such unrestrained squeezing, in just over twenty seconds, the boy has become nothing more than a dry bone. Moreover, due to the erosion of the black and yellow gas, he is completely different from ordinary dry bones and is completely charred black.
In the center of the rune witch formation, a round, gray bead with no trace of impurities was rolling around. Buddy was stunned. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, who would have thought that half of this gray bead was made of
Blood all over the boy's body.
Xinhou put away the ball, and the rune witch formation turned into wings again. The vampire didn't even look at the boy below, he flapped his wings and walked away.
The boy is no longer useful to the vampire, and to Quins and the two of them, the boy is no longer important. What is important is, what is the conspiracy behind this vampire?
Quince and Buddy had a tacit understanding. As soon as the vampire came out of the alley, they followed behind.
But after a pause, Quins motioned to Buddy to go ahead, and he wanted to stay and take a look.
Seeing Buddy's disappearing figure, Quins quickly came to the boy's side, ignoring the standing dead bones. He squatted down and touched the ground with his hands, sensing with spiritual inspiration.
Soon!
"That's it!" Quins murmured, his eyes sparkling: "I never thought there would be such a secret in the world, it's so strange."
After clearing up the doubts in his mind, Quins did not dare to delay and chased after the witchcraft brand imprinted on Buddy.
When he saw Buddy, he was squatting and looking at the corpse. It was the mysterious vampire just now.
"What's going on?" Quins came to Buddy. He knew that with Buddy's strength, it was impossible to defeat the vampire in a short period of time.
Buddy replied with an ugly face: "His whereabouts only disappeared from my sight for less than two seconds. When I saw him again, he was already like this."
"What about the beads?"
"I searched it, but it's not found under me."
Quince: "It seems that the vampire is indeed involved in this case, but he is just a puppet."
Speaking of this, Quins's heart moved slightly: "Buddy, did you collect information about vampires before? Did you have any special information? For example, a vampire has disappeared or died recently."
"Yes, I didn't pay attention unless you reminded me," Buddy looked at Quins in shock: "Recently, three vampires have disappeared and three have died. The Nimimunda family is frantically looking for the murderer. What's more, coincidentally,
The three dead vampires died at the same time as the three boys."
Quince touched his chin: "It seems that the murderer is more cunning than we thought. He uses vampires as puppets to act and hides himself behind the scenes."
"Is there any way to divine it?"
"No." Quins shook his head.
Buddy opened his mouth: "No? Weren't you very good at divination before?"
"Buddy, you know too little about divination," Quines explained: "Divination requires a medium, and the medium is divided into two types: direct media and indirect media. Direct media is easy to understand, such as divination of murderers.
One thing on his body, personal items are slightly weaker in divination, and hair and the like are better. Indirect media can also become information media, which is to collect enough information about a certain thing and then use it to perform divination. This kind of divination has
There are great restrictions, and the content of divination is limited to a certain range. My previous indirect medium divination can only be based on the location of the murderer's next murder, the degree of danger, the time, etc. If I want to divine the true face of the murderer,
Divination through indirect media of this kind is impossible."
Buddy: "It's really troublesome. So there are no direct media for the murderer and enough indirect media, so it can't be divination."
Quince nodded.
Buddy: "Hey, how are you watching over there? Did you gain anything?"
Quins: "We've basically figured out the reason. We'll talk about it when we get back. Let's go back today. There's nothing to see anymore."
Buddy said sullenly: "This is the only way. But what to do with the corpse of this vampire?"
To be honest, Quins wanted to move this corpse back. It was a rare research material, but if a vampire disappeared, during this sensitive period, they would inevitably be implicated in the deaths of the three previous vampires.
Instead, it creates trouble for both of them.
After Buddy took care of the vampires, he erased all traces of the two of them and went back to Quins' residence.
In front of the fireplace, Quins recounted his findings.
"I originally thought this was just an ordinary murder case, and the murder locations were all random, but after inspecting the location where the boy was standing today, I realized that we were totally wrong."
Buddy was confused: "Isn't that true?"
Quince: "Have you ever heard of the secret tradition of the Topographer?"
Buddy was confused: "Topmaster? Could it be that what you are about to say is related to the secrets of the Topographer?"
Quines: "Indeed, everything has veins. We people have blood, so naturally the earth under our feet also has blood."
"Bloodline?"
"Speaking of which, Topographical Master's Secret also belongs to the alchemy faction. Its greatest ability is to detect the blood of the earth. When it is practiced to a high level, it can even use the blood of the earth to perform witchcraft."
Buddy: "You mean, the position where the little boy is standing is at the node of the earth bloodline?" Although Buddy is not familiar with the earth bloodline, he is a bloodline user after all. Compared with himself, it is naturally easy to understand what Quins revealed.
The meaning of coming out.
Quines: "Yes, I don't have a deep understanding of the earth's bloodline, but according to the results of my previous exploration, this bloodline node is not static. When I was exploring it, it only took a moment or three for this bloodline node to sink to the ground.
deep."
Buddy immediately realized something and hissed: "To be able to grasp the time when the bloodline node appears so accurately, that terrain master is not weak."
Quins nodded solemnly: "And don't forget, the Terrain Master is an alchemy faction. The chance of working alone is not high, and it is more likely to be cultivated by certain forces."
Buddy: "This is not a serial murder case at all, and it may not be a low-level mission."
Quins frowned: "You mean...asking for help?"
In the Investigation Section, if you encounter a task that is higher than expected, you have two options: asking for help and raising the task level. Asking for help means asking for assistance. As long as you can attract people from the Investigation Section, other Investigation Sections will not care. But raising the task level
If so, it would be important to ask for a level upgrade for a task like that of Quins and the two of them. In addition to getting some investigation credit, there would be nothing for them to do, because the intermediate level tasks are not something that the two of them can take on now.
Quins was certain that Buddy would not hand over the mission easily, so the only option left was to ask for help.
"Yes, we must ask for help. The combined strength of the two of us is barely enough to deal with an average small organization, but judging from the current situation..."
"It's just that we have just arrived here and have very few connections."
"Just one person will do. You've seen him before."
"Have you seen it?" Quins was surprised: "You mean Salisbury Lewis?"
Buddy chuckled: "You may think that he is just an alchemist, but his secret medicine is definitely not weak in combat effectiveness."
Quins pondered for a moment. At present, it seems that Salisbury is the only one who knows the mission that both of them know thoroughly. No one else meets this condition. Even if it is only someone whom Buddy trusts alone, Quins does not dare to
It is unrealistic to guarantee complete trust in oneself. Apparently Buddy also considered this and recommended Salisbury.
Quins frowned: "Salisbury is just a support staff member, he can also take over the task."
Hearing Quins' words, Buddy laughed, knowing that Quins had already agreed in his heart: "Don't worry, there are not a few logistics personnel who have been asked for help. This is very common."
Buddy naturally went to invite Salisbury, but Quins hid at home and began to divine the location of the next "murder".
