"Will it take a week to get out?"
Hearing Jenkins' reply, the man inside the door muttered in embarrassment, and then wanted to thank Jenkins again. But Jenkins, who had already taken a step back, did not leave, but turned around and returned to the door of the house, then reached into the heavy protective clothing with difficulty, took out a 10 shilling bill and handed it to the man:
"This is also what Fenny gave to Louise. She will be undergoing closed training at the Church of the Sages, and she may not be able to see her friends for a long time."
The man froze for a moment, then quickly grabbed the banknote in Jenkins' hand. Before he could thank him for the third time, Jenkins outside the door turned around and strode towards the other side of the alley.
The family where the accident happened lived near the exit on the other side of the alley. It was also a low-rise bungalow, which looked no different from the house of the flower girl. There were strict guards at the door to check the identities of those who entered and exited. Jenkins waited for a few minutes before he wanted to go in. The security guard in the room came out and led Jenkins in.
The corpse was located in the bedroom on the inner side. Because the room was not big, the keeper had already seen the female corpse before he had time to introduce the specific situation to Jenkins.
The corpse lying in the bed didn't look like it had been dead for less than half a day, it looked more like dried bacon. In addition to the conspicuous corpse spots, the corpse shriveled and shriveled due to the loss of a large amount of water in a short period of time, and at the same time some dizzy patterns appeared on the face and neck of the corpse.
Jenkins noticed that the limbs of the corpse had been handcuffed to the bed, and magical runes were engraved on the edge of the bed to prevent her from being "resurrected" suddenly. In fact, the corpse had "awakened", but it couldn't move due to the suppression of divine power.
In addition to the faint smell of corpses in the air, there is also the unique "smell" of the power of the dead, which is very obvious to Jenkins who owns the holy sword of bones.
The coroners of the Church of Death and the Last Day will have to wait a while to come again. Such a complicated corpse requires extra care, and it will cost a lot to prepare equipment. In addition, the church of the Church of Death and the Last Day is outside the city, not the Church of the Sages. In the city, the delayed closing time is much later than that of Miss Bevanna and her party.
Only Miss Bevanna stood by the bed alone, and the rest stood close to the door of the bedroom. The other simple furniture in the bedroom were all covered with white cloth, and they would be moved out and burned in a while.
"Jenkins, you just need to stand at the door, this corpse is really unusual."
Although it showed the characteristics of corpse plague, the appearance of the corpse was still different from all other sick people. Miss Bevanna's caution was correct, because Jenkins did see a strong black aura on the corpse, and the woman's death might be related to other factors besides the plague.
"Is it a weird thing related to the epidemic?"
Jenkins' voice was muffled by the obstruction of the mask.
"Probably, but I haven't found any signs of uniqueness. There are many monsters that can match the current situation... Collinshire, let your apprentices go outside to check the plague situation, they can't help here use."
Miss Bevanna gave instructions to the Keeper, who nodded silently, and then waved the apprentices who were already embarrassed to leave the room. Then she moved away from the bed too, and stood by the wall next to the door with Jenkins and the Keeper.
"How's the situation, Miss Bevanna?"
The keeper asked cautiously:
"I think except for a demigod like me or some unique ability holders, anyone who gets close to the bed will definitely die... Is the husband of the corpse sure he's okay now?"
"Yes, it has been confirmed. He is healthy and still alive."
"That narrows down the scope a lot."
While the two were talking, Jenkins squinted and continued to observe the **'s body. There is no doubt that the woman is dead, and he has confirmed that the plague and some unknown strange thing remain in the corpse at the same time.
It's just that Jenkins is very confused now. Ever since he entered the bedroom, the Bone Holy Sword immersed in his spirit has become restless. If it hadn't been for Jenkins' intentional control, it might have automatically appeared and shot/at the corpse.
"Does this sword still have the characteristic of devouring undead monsters?"
Jenkins guessed that he didn't want others to know the existence of the sword.
Soon the [Church of Death and the End] coroner troops also arrived. They were a special team temporarily set up for the skull sword incident, and they were only responsible for dealing with the dead related to the skull sword.
But the problem now is that no one can get close to the female corpse except Miss Bevanna. After obtaining consent, the captain of the coroner's army held the holy emblem of the righteous god [End of Death], and tried to get close to the bed under the protection of the spirit of death, but if it wasn't for Miss Bevanna before he took the third step. I pulled him back when I was walking, I am afraid that there will be victims of the plague again in the Nolan parish.
After testing, the deadly effect of the corpse is not caused by germs, but by the energy carried by the corpse itself. Miss Bevanna was able to resist because her own strength was enough to offset that weird ability, and no one else could do it.
Jenkins also wanted to step forward and try, but just as he was about to speak, the Keeper who discovered his thoughts patted his shoulder. The keeper didn't say anything, but Jenkins also understood that Miss Bevanna couldn't agree to him doing that, so he could only stand by the wall and think about the current situation, and then his thoughts gradually diverged, and he began to think about the lonely cat outside now. Do something.
Even though Miss Bevanna could get close to the bed, she didn't dare to touch the corpse directly. It is obvious that no one except Nolan's husband would dare to do this. The handcuffs and the magical runes that restricted the female corpse's activities were made by the corpse's husband under the command of the church, and it was not until then that people discovered that the corpse could not be approached.
After confirming that the coroner's troops were unable to handle the situation here, Miss Bevanna ordered them to contact Mr. Davis, the demigod of Nolan's Church of Death and the End, perhaps the eighth-level gifter who is proficient in the spirit of death. There will be a way.
While waiting, Jenkins temporarily left the bedroom because he couldn't be of much help even if he was there. On the contrary, getting too close would make the Holy Bone Sword restless. Jenkins had a hunch that this sword would definitely be able to absorb that monster.
But he doesn't like to do that. On the one hand, it may break the fragile balance of life and death in the sword. On the other hand, if this precious sword is polluted into a strange thing, then the loss outweighs the gain.
