Chapter 23: There must be a ghost at home
Philo's words made Aaron frown and asked him:
"Sister Philo, can you describe Sister Lei's fighting ability to me? Well, just take the major as an example. I have seen him take action several times."
Philo nodded, thought for a moment and then spoke: "Major Taylor is a Silver-level Extraordinary, and his extraordinary abilities have been promoted once, while Lei is only a Bronze-level Extraordinary. In terms of the mystery and control of extraordinary abilities, she has
Most likely he can’t compare to the major.”
"Oh, that's it."
Aaron replied with some embarrassment.
He couldn't say anything more. After all, he still didn't know what the Major's extraordinary ability was.
However, Philo's words are not over yet: "But Major Taylor does not have rich combat experience against extraordinary people, and his use of his abilities is very limited. If it is an encounter in a narrow range, Lei cannot
You will lose to him."
Aaron blinked in surprise.
To be honest, Major Taylor can be said to be the strongest Extraordinary person Aaron has ever seen. His performance of killing a ghoul with three punches and accurately sniping the headshot of a ghoul is still fresh in his memory. As Aaron watched
Come on, if Major Taylor were to replace himself in the flesh and blood world, he might be able to defeat the flesh and blood butcher in the first time, and truly speed through the kingdom of flesh and blood.
But I never expected that according to Philo (and the major himself), Taylor, who had such an outstanding record, could not be beaten by anyone?
Broken, the major has become a combat unit!
Is the water in the Extraordinary World so deep?
Aaron couldn't help but marveled.
Philo seemed to see Aaron's surprise. She shook her handcuffed hands and explained: "I don't think the major is weak, or even quite the opposite. If Major Taylor is given a powerful enough firearm, then
Give him a wide enough distance, and he will be a sniper that can scare countless people, but in a narrow space...his ability is not enough for him to fight against our battle sisters."
Philo's tone was mixed with a little pride.
It can be seen that she is very proud of her identity as a battle nun and very confident in her own strength.
Aaron, who knew nothing about the Beyonder's battle, shook his head. Anyway, the blackmailed Major Taylor was not here and could not defend himself. Aaron naturally chose to believe Sister Philo's words.
But after getting to know Sister Lei's combat effectiveness, new questions arose.
How did she die?
Who killed her?
Aaron fell into deep thought.
As the saying goes, when there is evil, there must be a ghost.
In this Ripper serial murder case, the biggest discord is the death of Sister Lei.
Except for Sister Lei, all the victims (or targets like Vanilla) were women who were engaged in prostitution. Only Sister Lei had a different origin. At the same time, except for Sister Lei, the places of death of all the people except Sister Lei were in a narrow area.
Among the alleys, only the place where Sister Lei was killed was in a square not far from the church in Leitz, which caused a lot of commotion.
The most important thing is that Sister Lei is not an ordinary person, but a combat nun who can beat Major Taylor in close combat!
In other words, she was not silenced because she accidentally saw the scene of the ghoul's murder! If this was the case, she could not have died like this - even if the ghoul who was regarded as the murderer had an unintentional sneak attack,
It is not necessarily possible to kill her directly, let alone execute her in a specific way.
According to Taylor, Sister Lei's death was also due to her throat being cut, and her abdomen was also disembowelled, but there were not many injuries in other parts of the body. In terms of the condition of her death... this battle-experienced battle nun was actually the same as other victims.
There is no difference.
So weird!
"But we have no other clues now, so we can only use stupid methods to slowly look for suspicious things."
Aaron shook his head, hiding this doubt in his heart, and then took out the map Taylor gave him last night, which recorded the murder locations of all the victims. He drew a map centered on the location where Sister Lei was murdered.
Yuan, and Philo determined the scope of the search:
"Sister, look, we are confirming the existence of the Kingdom of Flesh and Blood within this circle. What do you think?"
Philo looked closely at the map for a moment and then nodded: "No problem."
Next, the two began to investigate. The area that Aaron drew was not large, and they quickly completed the search.
Found nothing.
Not to mention the kingdom of flesh and blood, they didn’t even find a drop of blood!
This is very normal in Philo's view - her views are similar to Taylor's, and she doesn't think there will be seven or eight evil gods in Lundini. The reason why she got involved is because this is what happened so far.
It’s the only direction of investigation.
But Aaron did not stop there. He took out the map again and started scribbling on it. First, he crossed out the locations that had been searched, and then found the victims adjacent to the location where Sister Lei was killed.
Position, connect several key positions end to end, and draw circles one after another.
"Mr. Hill, have you found any patterns?"
"No, it's just a random drawing. I don't expect to find the location of the Kingdom of Flesh and Blood in this way."
Aaron shook his head and put away the map. He really didn't expect to find the exact location of the Kingdom of Flesh by calculation. What he relied on had always been his attributes.
After he connected all the victims' locations end to end, he didn't get any pattern. It looked like just a messy polygon. Even if he found a random point near the location where Vanilla was kidnapped, he couldn't get any complete and symmetrical shape.
Aaron simply couldn't see any prototype of the sacrificial circle on this paper map.
But... what if the location where Sister Lei was killed was removed?
He did not confirm this in front of Philo, but simulated the map in his mind.
For some reason, Aaron felt that the murder of Sister Lei and the murders of the others were not in the same series of events, but two relatively independent incidents. Perhaps the murderer who committed the two crimes was the same person, but the person who committed the crime was
The reasons are by no means the same.
While he was thinking, he led Sister Philo towards the next murder site.
Under the leadership of Aaron, they got into the narrow alleys extending in all directions, just like when Aaron chased the peepers of the Black Dog Gang, the two began to walk quickly through the complicated alleys in Leitz District.
But at this moment, Aaron vaguely heard some unusual sounds:
"Clang! Clang! Cang!"
"Sister Philo, have you heard any strange noises?" Aaron, who had been walking in front, turned back and asked Philo, who was following behind him: "It seems like the sound of the collision between the train wheels and the rails...
…Sister Philo?”
At this time, Aaron realized belatedly:
Chapter completed!
