Chapter 159 The Man-Eating Monster

"Pfft!"

"Pfft!"

The feeling of blood splattered on the face was hot. In the magnificent hall, surrounded by marble pillars, a beautiful woman who was carrying a half-grown child and fled towards the outside was pierced by two knights behind her with long swords. chest.

The child was carried away, and the woman fell into a pool of blood and struggled continuously. She stretched out her hand towards the child, her eyes filled with pain and despair, her mouth was seeping blood, and she continued to hold the knight's leg up. climb.

"Give me back my child, my child, my Adenos, give back to... me..."

"Pfft!" The soldier raised his long sword high and stabbed down.

"Ah!" Adnos Monar woke up from the dream again, even though his body that was integrated with the blood of the ghoul was no longer sweating, he was still trembling with excitement, holding his head tightly.

I don't know how many times Adenos dreamed back to midnight, and he would see this horrifying scene. The mother who was killed by his father because of domestic power disputes, that stupid, simple woman, didn't know the truth of this world until she died. Darkness, and never seeing through his cold-blooded father, the Monar family has never had any affection.

It was also from that day that Adenos never really fell asleep. Everyone thought that he did not remember what happened that year when he was young, including his father, but Adenos has always been Remember, never forget for a moment, dare not forget for a moment, but with his strength, he can't do anything, until one day he knew the existence of wizards, Adenos applied to the king for external training, and then tried his best All ways to enter the wizard's tower and gain the power of the wizard.

"It's here, it's here, it's coming soon, that day is coming soon."

"I want~to wash away all~all the sins in this world, and I want all of you~all~ to atone for your sins."

Adenos muttered, as if comforting himself, but also as if he was going crazy, crying and laughing, as if the whole person lost his mind, and it took a long time to calm down.

——

At dawn, the sky was just dawning, a young man around eighteen or nineteen years old, who hadn't even grown a beard, followed the footsteps of the city guards, and quickly went to the corner of Flower Lane on the East Street, where many onlookers had already gathered The crowd, everyone is talking.

"Another one died, and was bitten to death again."

"It's so scary. A large piece of flesh disappeared from the face. What kind of monster is it? Cannibalism?"

"It's not like some beast ran into the city."

"These city guards are also trash. After so many days, they haven't even found out anything. It must be fifteen dead. People die every one or two days, which is too scary. "

"Probably not a beast!"

"what is that?"

"Who knows? But I have heard people say that it is..."

While watching the fun, everyone was also panicking. Many gorgeously dressed women even covered their eyes directly, not daring to look at the corpse in the dark alley. The face and neck of the corpse had been gnawed off A large piece of flesh and blood was exposed, revealing the musculature and white bones inside. It looked extremely frightening. If you looked closely, you could still see the tooth marks left on it.

"Get out of the way, everyone is not allowed to gather here, leave quickly, and go home." The captain of the city guard squeezed through the crowd, wearing a sleeveless top with the Babs rhombus badge pattern, and a lock inside. Zijia, with a pair of black trousers and boots on his lower body, and a long sword on his waist, looks quite heroic, but the other guards behind him are looking foolish.

There hasn't been a war in Babs City for many years, and most of these people are merchants and noble children in the city. Their usual work is to scrape oil and water, catch thieves, and arrest murderers. There are not many people Trained often.

"What's the use of looking, I haven't found anything yet, it's all a bunch of moths!"

"That's right, they are so powerful when collecting taxes, but now they are needed, even a pig is more useful than them."

"I think we need a new captain of the city guard."

"That's right, let him go, and replace him with a capable one."

The bravado of the city guards didn't make the people in the city back down at all, but they cursed angrily. Most of the people who lived near this East Street were wealthy businessmen, and there were also some down-and-out nobles. In Booth, the capital of the Mara Kingdom, there are countless such characters, but a captain of the city guard is not a deterrent to them.

Since more than a month ago, people have been missing and dying in the city. At the beginning, no one cared about it. After all, Babs is not a paradise on earth. There are also a lot of dark transactions and dirty things hidden, all kinds of people who are messing around at the bottom, and the chaotic slums in the city. It is very normal for some people to disappear and die often.

But when a half-eaten human corpse appeared, it immediately caused a sensation in the whole city, cannibalism, which immediately reminds people of some bad things, and there is such a monster who doesn't know what kind of man-eating monster Shuttle in the city, but can't find them no matter what, which makes the people in the city panic.

As time passed day by day, the number of dead people continued to increase, and this panic and depression continued to accumulate and spread. Especially with so many people dead, the city guards hadn't done anything, and everyone's life was threatened. In the middle of the night, the nightlife that used to be full of feasting and feasting is basically gone now. Most people dare not even go out at night.

The captain of the city guard was sweating profusely: "Ten days, I guarantee that within ten days, I will give everyone an explanation."

After explaining for a long time, at this time, the gathered crowd finally dissipated, but City Guard Captain Tucker knew that if he could not catch the murderer again, I am afraid that his seat would really be unstable. Many adults above, even the king , I have heard about this incident, because of this incident, the business of many gambling houses, brothels and other places in the city has been greatly affected. These courses are the pockets of those big nobles.

His boss also ordered him to solve the matter immediately and restore order, or else, as he said, after ten days, he would really pack up and leave.

Tucker looked anxiously at the young man beside him: "Mr. Edward, you promised me that within ten days, you will find out the truth."

Edward nodded: "I promise, but you must help me with all your strength. Of course, the credit is also yours. I only want the truth."

Edward was the boy who came here with the city guard, and he was also the youngest student of Ball. He set off a month ago, but he was delayed due to some things on the way, and he arrived here recently. He was the first to find him. , that is, Tucker, who is already battered, assured him that he could help him solve this series of events.

Of course Tucker wouldn't believe him, but after he said a series of clues and results of his own search, Tucker still invited him to investigate the scene with suspicion.

Edward checked the corpse: "The cause of death is here. The trachea was bitten off. Look at the tooth marks, which are similar to human tooth marks."

Edward sniffed the wound, then frowned: "Everyone, be careful. The corpse is poisonous. I don't know what the poison is, and I don't understand the way of poisoning and transmission. Be careful when you approach the corpse."

Tucker and the soldiers on the side immediately changed their expressions: "What? Poisonous?"

They cleaned up the corpses in the past few days, and they didn't pay much attention before. Thinking of it now, each of them turned pale, thinking of the strange ways of death of these dead people, Tucker immediately said: "What kind of poison is this? We don't Will it be poisoned?"

Edward glanced at them, and his mental power swept over: "It's okay, it shouldn't be the type of transmission through contact, it may be transmitted by blood and body fluids, so to speak, the existence of biting people also contains toxins."

Tucker immediately said: "Didn't you say before that it was human tooth marks? It was human beings who killed these people."

Edward nodded: "It's similar to humans. I didn't say humans, but it seems that this is not an ordinary incident. We should be careful."

Edward checked the ground, and immediately frowned. Many parts of the scene were destroyed, and footprints were everywhere. There was nothing to be analyzed, so he could only sigh and stand up: "Where is the first witness?"

The first person to find this place was the proprietress of a nearby flower shop. She seemed to be in shock at the moment. She found the body in the alley when she opened the shop and was sweeping the floor before dawn. It was around five o'clock in the morning. There was no one. Edward continued to ask, but he didn't ask anything. At that time, the proprietress was a little frightened and didn't pay attention to anything.

When the investigation was completed, it was already noon. Edward stood up and turned to leave. Tucker was also moved by Edward's series of analyzes and thought that Edward might really help him solve the case. If he could really solve the time, Tucker Ke will become famous in the entire city of Babs, needless to say, without losing his position as city guard captain, and there may be a chance to move up a bit.

This made Tucker immediately enthusiastic about Edward: "What should I do with this corpse?"

Edward asked: "Where are the previous corpses? I also need to go and have a look!"

Tucker immediately said: "In the cemetery outside the city, there is old Jock guarding it. He is an old gravekeeper."

After speaking, Tucker immediately said to the other soldiers: "You guys carry the body and send it to Old Jock."

Edward put away his equipment, turned around and walked out of the city with Tucker, passed the corner in front, suddenly found something, stopped, squatted down and looked at the ground, Tucker immediately stopped in doubt Come down: "What's the matter?"

Edward pointed to the floor on the ground, knocked, and immediately found a hollow voice below: "These stone bricks have been turned up, what's underneath?"

Tucker immediately took a look at the stone slab, which was relatively large and different from the nearby ones: "Oh, this is the entrance to the sewer."

Edward tapped his finger on the slate, thoughtfully: "Okay, I see, let's go to the cemetery first."
