In a somewhat dim warehouse, rows of shelves are placed on top of each other.
Outside are the elite guards waiting in full force, patrolling all the entrances one by one, in groups of four or five, like a strictly guarded fishing net, completely sealed off the underground warehouse of the Hall of Hope.
The members of the three ancient families, and the staff sent by Jixue Church, led by Butler Xiao En, came to the warehouse and saw the 'stolen scene' of the oil painting—
"At that time, we arranged for a group of elite personnel to stay overnight in the underground warehouse."
Everyone followed the instructions of Butler Xiao En, and saw the blood on the ground, several corpses lying in a pool of blood, and an obviously mutilated blank space on the shelf behind them.
Suleman looked down and found that the wounds on the bodies of these corpses were very small but very dense, as if they were cut with network cables. The ground was infiltrated with bright red blood, and there was a disgusting fishy smell and a faint smell in the air Rancid.
In order not to destroy the clues, Butler Xiao En did not let people move the bodies, and the entire scene retained their appearance when they were discovered.
After a night of 'fermentation', the smell in the warehouse is a bit pungent.
"Didn't you arrange extraordinary people to guard the entrance?" Colin Bieler, the eldest son of one of the three ancient families and one of the three ancient families, Colin Bieler, seemed to have no intention of asking, but The content is somewhat yin and yang.
"Miss Leitasha, the second daughter of the Kahler family, was outside the door last night. She didn't feel anything unusual." Butler Xiao En explained this. As soon as the words came out, others became aware of the thief's ability. I'm afraid it's not easy.
Retasha Kano, as the direct daughter of the Kahler family, with the support of the family, she has already held a professional ceremony and successfully promoted to a superhuman. As a guardian, she was stationed at the entrance of the underground warehouse all night, but she did not notice anything. Abnormal. Enough to illustrate the problem.
"Oh, that seems to be self-stealing." Colin Birrell nodded slightly.
"Master Colin, please watch your words!"
Before Butler Xiao En could speak, Scarlett next to him spoke out first, interrupting the other party's slander. Seeing that the two parties were about to quarrel again, someone from the Jixue Church who had been waiting silently said, "Everyone, are you here?" Any contradictions can be put aside later."
"Our first priority should be to stop the second theft, or even follow the lead...to catch the thief."
The person who spoke was a middle-aged male. He was dressed like a priest in a snow-white robe. This person is the investigator sent by Jixue Church.
It is also this group of investigation team, Captain Douglas who is in charge of coordinating.
Douglas' words temporarily stopped the dispute between the three major families, and each sent people to start looking for clues left on the ground.
Suleman ignored their conflict. At this moment, he was staring straight at the corpse on the ground, because the innate ability of [Dream of the End] is to sneak into the dream of the deceased, and obtain important information from the most impressive scene of the other party. information.
This is the obvious meaning of "Dream of the End".
However, Suleman has rebirth experience. He has read countless analysis posts on the forum in his previous life, and knows the true working principle of [Dream of the End] hidden under the skill description—
In essence, there is spirituality left in any dead person, and this spirituality contains their life information, which is presented in the form of 'image', 'language', 'scene', etc. By analyzing the spirituality, it is like a 'video decoder' to obtain important information in the spirituality.
Even ordinary people have a certain level of spirituality. For example, human elites who have not yet started their main job, but have a full-level deputy job, they also have spirituality, because their attributes are stronger than normal people, and their spirituality is also higher than the average level, second only to A true transcendent.
"I don't know how much spirituality is left in them." Suleman looked at the corpses on the ground and guessed in his heart.
The process of analyzing information by using [Dream of the End] also has a price, which is to consume the spirituality of the deceased.
Once depleted, the entire dream scene terminates.
As the dead, their spirituality naturally does not last forever, and will naturally dissipate with the passage of time.
One night has passed since they died. Fortunately, these guards are all human elites. Since their spirituality is higher than the average, at least some of them remain, enough for Suleman to see a few fragments.
The only question is, how 'reasonable' is access to their dead bodies
In order to preserve the scene, the Kano family did not move the corpse and kept everything as it was. If Suleman touched the corpse, to a certain extent, the traces of the scene would inevitably be destroyed.
Thinking of this, Suleman has already made a decision—
"Butler Sean, can I examine the corpse?"
"Um?"
Butler Xiao En turned around in surprise. Before he could ask a question, Suleman explained with a smile: "I have learned some medical skills. You also know that as a bounty hunter, you often have to face different situations and even suffer serious injuries."
"Learning medical skills will allow us to effectively deal with this. To be honest, I still have a lot of research on 'blood therapy'."
Blood therapy is a new medical technique that only appeared in the third era. It is most popular in the central city-state of the northern cold land, Rin Snow City. It is said that the noble ladies there believe that bloodletting therapy can help keep youth forever, and they are very fond of this therapy. . The most exaggerated thing is that they also have a special medical public arena in the city center, just like the ancient arena, for the audience to observe the whole operation, and present flowers and applause for the most outstanding "blood healer".
"Good at medicine? What do you mean?" Butler Sean hesitated.
"It can help me see the details on the corpse and find some clues." Suleman said righteously, even though he doesn't have a doctor-related sub-job, and even has only one main job.
At this time, there was a discordant laughing sound beside him, and suddenly sounded——
"Medical skills. What kind of medical skills does a half-baked bounty hunter have?" Colin Birrell was a little disdainful, and reminded: "Sean, if you insist on letting him check, you won't be able to find out the responsibility of the thief afterwards. It's up to you to bear it."
This is his real purpose, to let the Kano family take the blame. Suleman understood the other party's thoughts and spoke first: "Heh, as an ancient nobleman in Gangdian City, Mr. Colin really doesn't need medical skills, because you don't have chance of injury."
After finishing speaking, Suleman added a sentence in his heart: Talking about yin and yang, this is the strength of the players.
"You!" Colin blushed and turned his gaze to Sean.
Upon seeing this, Suleman added another sentence—
"I once heard a very philosophical sentence during the journey."
"Whatever exists leaves traces."
"The corpse can also speak."
Butler Sean shook his body. He didn't know whether he was moved by Suleman's sentence plagiarized from an English drama in his previous life, or whether he believed in the character of the other party. In short, Butler Sean nodded to him, signaling his permission.
Suleman immediately stepped forward, and behind him, Colin Birrell was not angry, but smiled. After all, his goal was achieved. As long as the other party can't find any clues, the Kano family will be killed by then. Gotta take the blame.
Under their watchful eyes, Suleman came to the side of a female corpse, gently stretched out his hand, and stroked the other's forehead.
At the same time, his eyelids were closed, as if judging the state of the corpse by touch.
In fact, Suleman's closed eyes were infiltrated by ink-colored black smoke, and the wine-red eyes turned completely black, deep and elusive. The next moment, the gray mist-like scene resurfaced and covered him. vision.
When the gray fog dissipated, Suleman opened his eyes.
It was found that his sight had changed to a lady's point of view, and he was surrounded by all kinds of professional guards who were dressed similarly to him. They were patrolling the warehouse and following their duties.
Suddenly, there was a slight noise coming from above.
Others didn't notice, Suleman hurriedly raised his head, and it was not difficult to find everything from his perspective.
The next moment, he saw a stream of black liquid flowing out of the vent above the warehouse, clinging to the pipe.
