Following the direction in which the abnormal workers were running, the sisters quickly found the crime scene. A dozen police officers wearing uniforms that Qu Yun had never seen before were investigating the scene.
It seems that because during the war years, dead people could be seen everywhere, the police did not deliberately block the scene to disperse the crowd.
And when it was time to go to work, except for idle children like them who had run away from home, not many residents of the town stopped to watch.
Qu Yun discovered some interesting phenomena among these hurried passers-by. Their behaviors seemed to fall into two completely different categories.
The originally lively townsfolk, chatting and laughing, or at least solemnly discussing current affairs with each other, shook their heads and sighed when they saw the corpses on the ground. There were even a few gentlemen who stopped to take off their hats and observe silence;
On the contrary, those guys who originally looked numb and seemed to want to close themselves off and not want to pay attention to anyone else, after seeing the corpses on the ground, they ran away in panic as if they had seen a ghost, with the same look on their faces as that of the worker in the hard hat.
An expression of confidence.
There were about half and half of the townspeople showing the two behaviors, and neither seemed to notice the other's "abnormal" behavior. Only the outsider Qu Yun saw everything.
There was only one corpse on the ground, and listening to the police's conversation it seemed that there were two more in the building. Qu Yun could hear the whole body without getting close. It was that of a middle-aged woman, from the left shoulder to the right abdomen.
His side was cut in two by the cassock.
Literally "cut in two", the two halves of the body were scattered several feet apart at a 45-degree angle.
Because there was a bombed-out brick building near the body, and construction waste such as steel and concrete was still scattered on the ground without time to clean it up, so the townspeople passing by probably thought it was an accident caused by falling building materials and did not pay much attention to it.
But Qu Yun knew that if such neat dismemberment did not come from the group of tauren who were all equipped with enchanted weapons for some unknown reason, then nine out of ten of them were the work of the players.
However, judging from the panic look on the body and the position where it was hacked to death, it was obvious that after rushing out of the corridor, its back was chopped with a sharp weapon, which meant that she was definitely not a candidate.
Since the Yunshang Rebellion was assessed, as predicted by Huo Minyang's notes, no new people in the table world have been drawn into the Lamarck game to become candidates. Well, this is a story for later, but Yunshang Immortal Mansion is not the only one in the world.
It’s true that the high-level team hasn’t seen a new member appear for a long, long time.
And any team that is qualified to compete with Yunshang Immortal Mansion will never have an idiot who is so stupid that when they are unable to defeat them, they will expose their back to the enemy and run away in a hurry, and be cut in two without any defense.
So the question is, if the murderer is a player and the person killed is a native of the game world, then why did this massacre happen?
Qu Yun has seen many murderous perverts in the game, but by the same token, it is impossible to live to the level of competing with Yunshang Immortal Mansion, at least without figuring out the weird rules that lead to "exposure"
Act rashly because you can't control your interest.
In a Lamarckian game, the truly insane ones who couldn't control their behavior would have died long ago, no matter how powerful they once were.
So if the hypothesis of identity is true, it probably indicates a worse situation. That is, the opponent team, who still doesn't know whether it is an enemy or a friend, has already mastered far more detailed information about the game world than she does.
Moreover, the act of massacring the natives of the game world is either an experiment with specific meaning, or they have been determined to be directly related to the clearance conditions.
As for whether the murderer was a player or a tauren, Qu Yun has never seen any obvious supernatural being exposed in a crowd gathering in broad daylight.
Even when riding a centaur through the urban area of the town yesterday, I don't know whether it was due to the obviously abnormal arcane element or some other undisclosed reason, but I didn't meet anyone along the way. Anyway, Qu Yun would never
I believe this is some kind of coincidence.
The female corpse on the ground gave Qu Yun a strange feeling. Neither the wounds nor the cause of death were worth worrying about. The strangeness came from an indescribable abstract feeling, almost like a mage's intuition.
Qu Yun felt that something was missing from the corpse, like a dummy. Or... it felt more like it had been dead for a long time and was completely lifeless, rather than a fresh corpse that had just died.
live……?!
Qu Yun suddenly thought of the strange invisible substance suspected to be Kangsni's soul that was included in the Book of Retesin after falling off the cliff last night. She also thought of what Miss Gorgon had harvested from the Centaur team...
soul?
She was unable to verify her conjecture. Magic involving the soul belonged to the Pale Dimension School, and both were extremely difficult and profound knowledge. Qu Yun had neither the relevant talent nor sufficient knowledge.
The school of magic has extremely high requirements on the talent of the mage. In the Temple of Metaphysics, even if you are proficient in and truly understand all theoretical knowledge, you will not be able to see the illusion of others or the image of a corner of the future with your own eyes without enough talent. It is obvious that the pale dimension is related to the soul.
The problem also has similar conditions.
"Let's go and take a look." Qu Yun didn't give up. Even though she knew that her ability could not confirm soul-related investigations, she still wanted to get close to the corpse and verify her conjecture through the four-dimensional mage's perspective instead of hearing.
However, when she pulled her sister straight towards the body, she was stopped by the oncoming police officer.
"She...may be our mother, can we go confirm it?" Qu Yun turned pale, holding on to the officer's sleeve with trembling hands in tears.
The police officer glanced at the little sister who was obviously malnourished, and showed a hint of sympathy, but still said in a businesslike tone: "I'm sorry, we will visit you after the investigation. Please go home and wait for now."
Qu Yun didn't bother much, just nodded and turned to leave. She understood that the police may not have detailed the process of investigating the families of the deceased during the war, but the explanation of the police officer in front of her was definitely strange.
This is not an accident, but a homicide. The police don’t even need to find out the identity of the deceased and his behavior before death?
So she followed Kang Sini's limping footsteps and staggered away slowly, her ears always paying attention to the murder scene behind her.
Sure enough, not long after, a tall figure wrapped in a high-collar windbreaker without any gaps got out of the new police car. The previous police officer drove the police officers away from the scene, each responsible for driving away the passing crowd.
Then, even though she was hundreds of meters away, Qu Yun still felt the arcane elements being disturbed and gathering towards the crime scene. A powerful magic was being cast.
