The detection vision of detecting the undead was stimulated in Zhao Xu's eyes, which glowed faintly.
But starting from the drunkard at the edge of the corner, all the way to the housekeeper of the hotel, everything he looked at was normal.
Nothing was found.
There are no undead creatures, or the opponent has blocked detection spells.
Or maybe it wasn't the vampire itself.
"Get out of the way!" Suddenly a shout came from the door.
The crowd in the originally crowded hotel corridor was pushed away by a group of newly arrived patrolling guards, led by a tall and thin warrior.
He was still yawning. When he saw the body lying on the ground, his expression became serious. He turned his head and asked, "Have you notified the coroner?"
"Almost there." The hotel housekeeper said nervously.
For them, it would be okay if they died in the fight. The grudges in the tavern were settled, so naturally no one would go out of their way to find the guards.
But this kind of unexpected death means that their hotel will have to spend a lot of money.
Several players who rarely joined the fun in the tavern downstairs did not expect that such a murder case would break out in the hotel above. They also rushed over to join in the fun, and each used their reasoning knowledge from the earth to analyze the case.
It's just that the patrol captain ignored the noise of the players. He just calmly glanced at the dozens of people who came to join in the fun, silently keeping everyone's figures in mind, and thinking about whether there was any suspicious object.
During this period, several gangsters who had made friends with each other by eating and drinking were holding beer glasses and walked over to the patrol team to join in the fun and inquire about news from them.
Vivian stood silently behind Zhao Xu, suppressing the urge to use "Detect Evil" in her body.
As for the white dragon Cyrus, he was looking at the scene in front of him boredly.
To put it mildly, for it, death is a common thing in the ice mountains.
If someone dies and goes to war like this, then he has to rush to the funeral every day.
"You humans really make a fuss about your rhythm every day." Cyrus complained to Zhao Xu.
To be honest, the two of them had just destroyed the corpse of a vampire, and now it was watching a group of people making a fuss over a human corpse, and it was somewhat confused.
"You have to look at the location. You are in a human town now." Zhao Xu said, "If you were in our world, this would only be more exaggerated."
When Zhao Xu explained this difference to Bai Long, his mind suddenly turned and his eyes gradually became sharp.
Those who can leave bloody holes in their necks may not be just vampires.
At this time, the coroner also left his warm bed in the middle of the snowy night and reluctantly arrived at the scene.
The crowd watching the excitement did not disperse, but the patrol team gathered the body after inspecting the situation at the scene.
"Look at where the body just fell and the scratches on the ground. One of them is not a natural mark. It must have been intentional before death."
A player who rarely went offline in the middle of the night but stayed in the hotel commented.
"You assume that they know each other." Another person retorted on the spot.
In an instant, the opinions of the three or four people who came together came together, "That's not right. You can describe the characteristics of the murderer even if you don't know him."
"You're awesome, show me what human features you can get with a scratch."
"Maybe it means straight hair."
"You're just messing around."
The coroner listened to the arguments of several players standing close and bickering, which continued to affect his new life. He couldn't help but said angrily, "Be quiet."
This stopped the argument among several people.
Then he checked the wound several times before nodding and concluding: "I guess this is -"
"Rat." Suddenly, an orc in the corner said loudly.
The coroner stared at the orc carefully, then nodded and said, "Yes, it was a wound caused by the teeth of a rat."
"What?"
"Just kidding."
"How can it be?"
Everyone made unbelievable sounds.
Although the deceased who fell to the ground at this time did not look like a strong man, his basic physique was above average. How could he die after being bitten by a mouse
With the epidemic at that time, it was too fast.
"No, how could a rat bite such widely spaced teeth marks?" the ranger player who first participated in the truth retorted. At this time, he walked to the side of the deceased and looked at the wound again.
The relatives of the deceased had just fainted and were not yet awake.
The orc who had just made the assertion burst out laughing on the spot, matching his loud voice, which almost made the doors and windows shake.
Orcs are one of the seven races that players can choose from.
Their number is only below the three popular races of humans, elves, and dwarves, and above halflings, half-elves, and dwarves.
Half-orcs are essentially the offspring of the union of humans and orcs. In addition to the orc tribe, only the human community will accept half-orcs.
However, this half-orc is obviously a "barbarian" with his chain armor, giant axe, and fighter tattoo on his chest.
It was precisely because of his identity that the drunkards present did not dare to scold him rashly.
Otherwise, half-orcs are somewhat ostracized by civilized society due to their original characteristics of dark complexion, sloping forehead, protruding jaw, exposed teeth, and thick body hair.
At this time, all the eyes in the tavern fell on the half-orc barbarian, waiting for his answer.
"Who is this?"
"I don't know him, he's probably from outside."
"It should also be a player. A half-orc who has been promoted to barbarian does not know how to analyze rationally." The player in the corner commented.
After all, the nicknames of the barbarian profession are "berserker" and "fighter", not the "wise man" of the "mage" profession.
At this time, after the barbarian player realized that everyone was attracted to him, he looked at the body lying on the ground and gradually became cold and said: "You can do this as a lycanthrope."
"A lycanthrope?"
At this time, everyone in the corridor felt creepy.
The oldest legend about lycanthropes is that of "werewolves".
A lycanthrope is a humanoid or giant human creature that can transform into an animal. It is not limited to humans.
"It's actually a beast." Cyrus also sighed with emotion at this time.
They all had preconceptions.
Without examining the wounds at close range, they were all directed to the nearest vampire.
But it was a little confused at this time, "Is it powerful to transform into a beast?"
Zhao Xu shook his head, "In animal form, lycanthropes are more powerful animals, that's all."
"What are the general ones?" Cyrus had never come into contact with the existence of lycanthropes on the ice field before, and he was somewhat curious.
"Werebears, tigers, werewolves, wild boars, etc., including the ratmen just mentioned." Zhao Xu explained.
"This sounds like a bunch of rubbish." White Dragon Cyrus couldn't help but puff out light smoke from both nostrils and said, "Then what are they afraid of? There is no way that the lycanthropes can invade the city. Bar."
No matter how powerful the monster is, they will like the sense of security in a human town. Just here, there is no need to be wary of cold arrows that may be shot around at any time.
"That's the theory." Zhao Xu corrected, "But this"
"The key is that after being attacked by a lycanthrope, you may be infected with lycanthropy, and then become a lycanthrope of the same kind, and also have the ability to spread the disease."
"Even future generations will only be lycanthropes, that is, born lycanthropes." Zhao Xu said, "This is an eternal curse."
"So that's it." White Dragon Cyrus also said with emotion.
In this way, vampires who seem to have many shortcomings are actually a little better.
If it was a "vampire", then there might be some ignorant girls attached to it. But if it were a lycanthrope, especially a more insignificant rat-man, he would definitely be disgusted and rejected, fearing to be infected by it.
At this moment, the relative of the deceased slowly came to life. She looked at her husband who was already cold and stiff, and cried on the spot: "You are dead, what should we do?"
"You clearly promised me, and our child has just been born... What do you want me to do?"
For a moment, the extremely sad voice of the deceased's wife penetrated the area, making several female players present have red eyes and fumble for their wallets.
"Mr. Savage, can you find a way to find the murderer and avenge the deceased?" Suddenly, a question came from the crowd in the audience.
At this time, the barbarian Nu Lang who was standing on the stage couldn't help but look embarrassed.
In fact, he just came here to ask for directions, and he just showed his skills when he encountered problems that he happened to be knowledgeable about, and by the way, he improved the residents' favorability.
As for finding the real murderer and solving the case, that's not something he's good at.
"Fool."
At this time, the female druid player Hong Maple Leaf, who was also a member of Pale Dawn, secretly laughed.
In her opinion, the problem cannot be truly solved, and it is completely meaningless for her companions to go up and analyze the conclusions that others are about to draw.
She also glanced at the crowd present, secretly thinking about how to crack it.
"President, I want to avenge this poor widow." At this time, Vivian's voice became cold and full of murderous intent.
The "Holy Avenger" in her hand suddenly sparkled again, causing the corridor to suddenly light up.
"It's not impossible." Suddenly, the barbarian on the stage shouted angrily, "The lycanthrope has the ability to reduce damage and can only be broken by silver-plated weapons. If everyone is willing to accept it, give everyone a knife. A cut is made on the palm of the hand, and whoever heals it immediately will be the winner."
"Where did this stupid player come from?"
Bailong almost yelled.
They are a group of powerful creatures, none of whom have any damage reduction ability.
When Zhao Xu heard this bad idea, he couldn't help but laugh and shake his head.
Both Cyrus and Viviana have damage reduction abilities.
He didn't. The key point was that even if he gave up defense, the opponent would be unlikely to penetrate his "force field armor" (cassock + shield spell), which combined with armor and shield defense alone would reach level 12.
Even if it was scratched successfully, it still depends on whether it was a magic weapon. If not, the damage would not even be able to pass through his star cloak.
And watching Zhao Xu silently walk up to the front desk, everyone's eyes suddenly fell on him.
"Which onion is this?"
"I don't know. Is he a mage wearing a robe?"
"I guess they are also players, but can the player's three-legged cat spell be used?"
