Chapter 15 Speculation(1/2)

"what happens?"

In broad daylight, a living life became like this in front of the night watchman and the would-be night watchman.

No one could have imagined that such an accident would happen.

The problem is, when we were in the reception room just now, Heidi acted very normal.

Basically,

There were no signs of imminent death.

"You keep an eye on the scene, I'll contact the people to seal it off."

Antal's cold expression almost oozed water.

As a night watchman, this is a huge dereliction of duty on his part.

He put down his clothes and left in a hurry.

Lyndon noticed the group photo and leaned down to pick it up.

The protagonists of the photo are Heidi, Alice, and another beautiful older woman.

With long red curly hair, she is probably the teacher named Catalina.

With such obvious features, he could recognize it at a glance.

All three of them kept smiling cheerfully.

The group photo looks very warm, and the relationship between the three of them is quite good.

The only flaw is that,

Alice's face seemed to have been scratched several times by sharp objects.

He turned the photo over and saw a line of elegant black writing on the back.

【To our good times】

"Oh, the good times were so good that everyone was gone."

Linden shook his head slowly and put the photo in his pocket.

He walked to where Antar was squatting before and took his place.

Are there any clues in this pool of liquefied material?

The color of the liquefied material is somewhat similar to the monster Alice turned into.

According to Jana and Antal, the monster belongs to a category other than possessed people and demons.

Did Heidi and Alice have anything in common before they met with something unexpected?

He recalled that while in the conference room, Alice also began to change without warning, her skin cracked, revealing a ferocious posture.

Skin breakdown?

Heidi had similar symptoms before her death.

The way she was tearing and scratching herself desperately was exactly like Alice.

Could it be,

According to the normal process, will she also become a monster?

So what's stopping this?

Lyndon raised his head, and the dazzling sunlight blinded him.

There are not many sunny days like this in Loft City.

In an instant, he had the answer in his mind.

That's right, it's sunshine.

Low-level possessed people and demon spirits cannot move in the sun, so this kind of monster may also have the same characteristics.

Antar came back soon. He saw Linden squatting there and didn't know what he was doing, so he patted him on the shoulder.

"What clues did you find?"

"Just a guess."

Linden stood up straight and said thoughtfully,

"I wonder if it is man-made that they are like this."

"Man-made? Who did it?"

"Look at this."

He took out the group photo and handed it to Antar.

"What can a photo say? Do you want to tell me a story about a college student who went from falling in love with each other to breaking up with each other?"

You really don't have to pretend to be a fool. I highly doubt your professionalism at this moment.

Of course, Linden would not say what was in his heart. He told Antar his speculation very seriously:

"The first point,

Of the three people in the photo, two are missing and one has run away. There is a high probability that Jiana has seen the person who ran away.

Second point,

Catalina left her job half a month ago. At the same time, I was laid off from my job as health administrator, and old Jack, who was missing a few days ago, took over my job.

The third point,

According to Jana's recollection, Dr. Kennedy and Old Jack also came to Ronan University at that time and met with a man named Carpio.

Well...then old Jack disappeared, and then two students from Ronan University died again, in front of you and me. Since it wasn't a demon attack, what kind of coincidence was it? Everything happened so coincidentally.

Together?"

After Antar heard his thoughts, he frowned and thought for a moment, then nodded heavily:

"You're right, I really didn't connect these things together.

Do you have any other guesses?"

"I think... maybe someone turned them into this ghostly state, and even Dr. Kennedy and Old Jack would be participants in the matter.

The top priority, I think, is that Catalina must be found. At the very least, she will be an important witness."

He stretched out his finger and pointed at the red woman in the photo,

"It's very possible that there will be more victims."

"But I told you, there are so many Catalinas in Loft City, and it will take a lot of time to use the residents' information to investigate."

"Then narrow the search scope, Antar. Think about it, is there any place where you will never see sunlight and still have enough space to conduct experiments?

Well, it should be relatively remote and away from public view. If you want to make such a dangerous thing, you must find a way to avoid the night watchman or the sheriff."

Antar shook his head and said:

"No, the relatively remote places in Loft City are often densely populated by demons, so long-term experiments are unlikely."

Isn't it possible...

Based on the comparison between Heidi and Alice, he came to the above guess.

However,

Antal denies the existence of such a place.

He is both the Sheriff and the Night Watchman, and should be one of the people who is most familiar with Loft. If Antar thinks that the location does not exist, it means there must be something wrong with his judgment.

So, what other possibilities are there?

An idea flashed across Linden's mind and he asked again:

"The most dangerous place is also the safest. If it is not in a remote place, but in a place with a large number of residents, are there any that meet the conditions?"

"That's true."

Antal replied in the affirmative,

"There is a group of old castles in the West Block, which were built a hundred years ago and housed a group of old dignitaries from Loft City.

The number of their respective families, plus their servants, is no less than in the center of the city."

"Then let's go there and search, it's best..."

"wait."

Linden was interrupted by Antal, and he looked at the giant man with some confusion.

"The next actions involve some sensitive events.

If you have not officially become a Night Watchman, please do not participate."

"OK."
