Pushing aside the reeds, even though he had heard from the tavern owner about the tragic appearance of the three bodies that were found, Jenkins couldn't help but be shocked by the dried blood that splashed onto the reeds and the ground. It is hard to imagine how much torture the deceased suffered during his lifetime, and no wonder this incident caused such panic in the town.
The bodies of all three victims were found near the entrance to the town, and it is not yet known what was done to do so. The traces of the crime scene were almost detected by the local police, and Jenkins did not leave much valuable information.
"So, why don't I try psychic..."
He whispered, and eagerly took out the Holy Bone Sword.
A long time ago, Jenkins once owned a Ouija board, but unfortunately it was destroyed because of a wrong channeling of the unborn son of the evil god. After that, he also learned about spiritism, and his father told him that this kind of ritual of connecting souls at will is extremely dangerous, so the Church of the Sages does not encourage learning.
But there are many ways for Jenkins to obtain rituals, and there are not a few of his friends who are familiar with psychic rituals. Not to mention that after obtaining this sword, he learned a lot of knowledge about necromancy through mastering the sword. Naturally, he also knows about necromancy, but he has never tried it.
"Then give it a try. The worst result is that the summoned soul goes mad and turns into an evil spirit to attack me. I promise to purify him, it's definitely fine."
While talking to himself, he put the cat on the pebbles on the river bank to watch.
Roll up the trouser legs, step on the mud and walk into the depths of the reeds, and then draw a circle with the holy bone sword in the area with the most blood, and then use the sword as a pen to patiently carve runes inside and outside the circle.
Because it was the first time he had performed a psychic ritual, Jenkins wasn't sure he would succeed. After drawing the psychic ritual, he didn't start it immediately, but drew a larger ritual array on the outer circle for sealing ghosts and destroying spirit bodies, and then started the psychic ceremony.
"Ashes to ashes to ashes, the dead of the past, the souls of the past, answer my call..."
He said while activating the ritual he had carved, perhaps because holding the Bone Holy Sword increased the chance of success in undead rituals, he succeeded in one go. As the incantation was read out clearly, a vague shadow of a man appeared in front of him.
This is not a soul, but a remnant of the soul. Jenkins' ritual is relatively basic, and it cannot directly awaken the spirit body that has disappeared.
"Who killed you?"
He couldn't wait to ask, but the broken soul didn't respond at all.
"Oh, I forgot, ghosts can't hear the voice when they are psychic, I need..."
He cut his finger with a knife, then dipped some blood with his pen, mixed ink to write the question on the paper, set the paper on fire and threw it at the man's feet.
The burning paper flew in the air, leaving only a few ashes in the end. The ashes fell on the uneven mud, and a short sentence was pieced together:
"have no idea."
Although I didn't get an answer, getting the answer itself shows that the channeling was quite successful. There are also reasons why the other party is an ordinary person and the venue has not been destroyed, but it also shows that Jenkins is quite talented for such rituals.
"So do you have any clues about who killed you?"
He burned a piece of paper again.
"I didn't see his face... It was a man, taller than me, with a ring with a black stone on his right hand... I was killed by him... I will never see Martha again..."
The answers this time were extraordinarily long, and with the appearance of these answers, those soul remnants slowly changed from transparent to black.
He began to transform into an evil spirit.
"I also want to ask some questions, such as what do you do here at night, can you answer my question first?"
Jenkins backed away carefully while talking, and when he just exited the outermost circle drawn by the sword, the black figure standing in the center of the circle let out a chilling cry.
The originally blurred face instantly became clear and became extremely hideous and terrifying. The transparent body was completely solidified, and the black smoke covered his figure.
"It's completely become an evil spirit."
Jenkins thought in his heart, and then watched the other party rush towards him, but when he broke through the last circle on the ground, he seemed to hit an invisible barrier. Then the ring formed by the faint golden light shrank inward, and the newly born weak evil spirit contended with it for a few seconds before disappearing.
"Today's luck is really bad. This kind of incomplete soul fragment can actually form an evil spirit..."
He lowered his head and thought for a while, seeing that there were no other clues here, he picked up the cat who looked up at the windmill at the mill, and set off for the cemetery in the small town.
The post of cemetery keeper is usually held by the clergy of the [Church of Death and the End of the World]. In big cities, these people generally have a background of granters, while in remote rural towns such as Roman Town, there are only ordinary people up.
The cemetery is located in the south of the town, and most of the people in the town are buried here after death, so the cemetery has also formed a certain family line. The cemetery is divided into upper and lower floors. The ground part faces the town, and the tombstones stand in the gaps between flowers and green trees. The scenery is quite good, and it is the burial place for ordinary civilians; In the corridor, there are large and small tombs extending to both sides for placing coffins and burial objects. They are usually locked by fence gates. This is the burial place purchased for themselves by the rich in the town.
According to the information Jenkins got from the police station, the actual location of the second murder was in the corridor of the catacomb, because the second body was found soon, so the police dogs could track it by smell, and found it soon Here, and in the corridors of the burial chamber, remains of blood were found.
Jenkins was a stranger, and would never have been allowed to enter the underground catacombs. But because he gave a lot of money, the old gravekeeper agreed to this request, but the gravekeeper will always be around Jenkins to observe his every move to prevent him from stealing burial objects.
The catacombs are not only dark and cold, but also have a strong smell of mold and corpses. Cremation is not popular in remote towns, so that's understandable.
The scene of the murder was not far from the entrance steps. With the help of the cat, Jenkins easily found the blood under the kerosene lamp.
PS: It is very reasonable that civilians are buried on the ground with only small earthen bags and cross tombstones, while rich people have special underground family tombs. Although it seems that the environment on the ground is better, in fact, the underground is the long-term resting place.
