In addition to the person in the background, there is another clue in this picture.
From some blank shadows, you can vaguely see many figures around the altar. They are not human sacrifices tied up in a small cave, but people wearing cloaks like the figure behind the altar.
It can be seen from this that the sacrifice in the cave is not a matter of a single person, but a group of people is doing it.
But their identities cannot be determined yet.
After reading the second picture, Dodolo touched the paper with his mental power again to arrange the third picture.
Dudolo: "After I saw the symbols on the stone slab, several broken pictures flashed before my eyes. After completion, I was able to present two relatively complete pictures. This is the first one."
When the picture appeared on the paper, Angel and Nice understood why Dodolo said "the picture is relatively complete" because compared to the previous two pictures, this new picture was indeed much more complete.
Only about a quarter of the space is blank, the rest is filled with color.
The scene in the picture is still in the cave, but it is different from before. This time the center of the scene is on the rectangular stone platforms surrounding the altar.
Angel actually didn't pay much attention to those rectangular stone platforms in reality, because they were all single and broken limb bones, such as arm bones, leg bones, sternum, and some odd-shaped bones of non-human creatures.
.
Compared with the three hundred and sixty complete skeletons in the cave, they are really inconspicuous. The only thing worthy of attention is that when these limbs and bones were alive, they seemed to have traces of energy infiltration, perhaps some extraordinary life forms.
a part of.
Different from the bones in reality that have turned into white bones or even powdered with calcium, in the picture shown on the paper by Dudolo, those limbs are even connected with flesh and blood.
In the picture, almost every rectangular stone platform has a special transparent container.
Each transparent container is filled with a turbid yellow liquid, and different limbs are soaked in the liquid.
Because the limbs are of different sizes, the sizes of the containers are also different. For example, there is a pair of huge demon flesh wings, which are soaked in a huge container like a hill; and a thumb that exudes golden light is held in
In a container the size of a water glass.
"These limbs include demons from the abyss, demons from the void, and even some... look like limbs of extraordinary humans." Niss looked at the different containers in the picture and frowned: "Could it be someone smuggled in?
Body parts from another world to sell?”
In order to pursue more powerful power, it is not particularly uncommon among wizards to choose to transplant the limbs of extraordinary creatures. As long as there is a way to overcome the problem of bloodline collapse, you can have a full-body transplant without any problem.
Some bloodline wizards have started transplantation since they were apprentices, because bloodline wizards have many more ways to overcome organ intolerance than wizards from other departments. The reason why bloodline wizards have relatively similar combat power at the same level
More powerful, this is actually one of the reasons.
Since wizards have a need for extraordinary organ transplants, a corresponding industrial chain will naturally form.
It's just that many extraordinary organs belong to creatures from other worlds, and as long as industries from other worlds are involved, they will be frantically suppressed by extreme sects. Therefore, the smuggling and trading of extraordinary organs is a gray area industry in the Southern Territory.
"If these guys are a gray business group, there is no need to pursue this matter further," Nice said bluntly, because there are many such business groups in the wizarding world.
Even the Bad Wing site that Mr. Laing took Angel to last time actually falls into a gray area. The Bad Wing Business Travel Group behind it can be said to be the gray business travel group with the most high-end services. Otherwise, it would not be able to achieve such a high-end service.
An awakened demon like Ermi.
Angel: "It's nothing if it's just a caravan group, but why is it involved in the Quest world? Moreover, does smuggling into another world and selling organs require such a large-scale human sacrifice?"
Three hundred and sixty human lives, this number is nothing if placed in those worlds controlled by evil gods. But this is the southern region where it is extremely difficult for creatures from other worlds to invade. A sacrificial ceremony is held here. Three hundred and sixty lives.
There are so many lives.
Moreover, looking at the situation in the cave, the object of the human sacrifice is not sacrificed to the evil god, but a certain existence or a certain force in the Quest world. Can eat such a large-scale human sacrifice in one sitting
, in the soul of the Quest world, it cannot be underestimated.
Just smuggling organs, does this need to be done?
Nice nodded thoughtfully: "Indeed, something is wrong. According to the nature of the conventional business travel group, this kind of ceremony should not occur."
Angel: "One more thing, I also find it strange. If it was really a smuggling of organs, why would they leave the organs directly in the cave?"
In reality, there are many skeletal organs on the rectangular stone platform. If they really want to be sold, how can they be left in the cave and allowed to rot?
Niss nodded and recalled the cave scene that Angel presented with an illusion last time: "I remember that many of those rectangular stone platforms were empty, with no organs left. But in the picture Dudolo saw,
Each rectangular stone platform has containers to hold organs. It seems that the people behind the scenes have taken away many extraordinary organs."
"But you are right. If it is really used for trading and selling, if you want to take it away, you should take it all away. It is impossible to leave any part."
Nice thought hard for a long time, but could not figure out the intentions of these people. He could only look at Dodolo: "You just said that there is another picture?"
Dudolo turned to look at Angel, and when he saw Angel nodded, he waved his hand, cleared the picture on the paper, and began to construct the last picture he saw.
This last picture is the most complete of all the pictures. There are only a few edge blanks, and the main part is all clear.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! You can clearly see that the center of the picture is still a rectangular stone platform.
It's just that it's different from the long-range view in the previous picture. This time the main subject is concentrated on a rectangular stone platform.
There is still the same container on the stone platform, and there is a right arm engraved with black and red patterns soaked in the container.
The arm looks very slender, and the nails are painted with the same black and red pattern as the arm. Basically, it can be determined that this arm should be a female human or female humanoid.
The black and red pattern is a clue that can be investigated, but neither Angel nor Nice have seen similar patterns, so they can only ignore it for now.
There is another very important detail in this picture, which is that there are three people standing next to the rectangular stone platform.
All three of them were wearing cloaks, and their faces were turned sideways. Most of them were covered by shadows, so their specific faces could not be seen clearly, but they all had black tattoos on their faces.
The tattoo on the side of the person on the right rear is more clearly visible, it is the number 6.
Although the tattoos of the people on the rear left and those in front cannot be clearly seen clearly, if they also have numbers tattooed on them, it can be inferred from the details that one is 3 and the other is 0.
Among them, 3 and 6 are located in the back row, and the one directly in front is a 0.
The cloaked man with a tattoo of 0 stretched out a hand and touched the wall of the container with his palm. There was a faint light radiating from the place of contact, and at the same time, a luminous symbol appeared on the back of the cloaked man's hand.
The shape of the symbol is concentric circles with a hexagon inside.
"This is the symbol of the Quest world!" Ness looked at the slate on the table. Except for the two cricket-like symbols in the center, the rest were exactly the same.
Nice couldn't help but look at Dodolo: "Is there a symbol inside the hexagon?"
Dudolo nodded: "There are symbols, but I can't remember them."
Unable to remember, this is completely in line with the symbolic characteristics of Quest’s world!
"Is it the symbol on this stone slab?" Nice pushed the stone slab in front of Dodolo.
Dudolo shook his head: "I don't know."
Although he did not get a definite answer, Nice had a hunch that the luminous symbol appearing on the back of the hand of the cloaked man No. 0 and the symbol on the stone tablet should come from the same soul force.
"It seems that there is some connection between this symbol and the organs in the container. Perhaps this symbol can bring some changes to the organs?" From the movements of the cloaked man No. 0 in the picture, Nice speculated: "If this
If the speculation is true, then this is indeed not a simple stowaway."
Angel also nodded: "Unfortunately, it is difficult to deduce the effect of the symbol from the current clues."
As long as you know the effect of the symbols, you may be able to understand why this group of people carried out this large-scale human sacrifice in the cave.
Niss didn't know much about this either. He pondered for a moment and said, "I will go to the ruins later to ask Granny Iron Armor about the specific situation. Granny knows a lot about these side stories."
It was also the Iron-Armored Granny who initially judged that the source of the symbols on the stone slab was most likely the Listven Safe Zone in the Quest world. Therefore, Nice immediately thought of the Iron-Armored Granny.
"Okay, I'll trouble you then."
Putting aside the effect of symbols for the time being, Nice and Angel focused their attention on other clues in the picture.
Nice looked closely at the faces of the three cloaked men, with a trace of thought in his eyes.
"It is rare to have numbers tattooed on the face. Judging from the details of the characters, the area of ​​the numbers is quite large and can completely cover half of the face. Such large black numbers always feel a bit familiar to me."
"What the Nice wizard means is, have you ever seen such people?" Angel looked at Nice.
Nice shook his head: "I'm sure I haven't seen it. However, I seem to have heard of people with similar tattoos."
"Let me think about it." Nice put his index finger gently between his eyebrows, tapping it constantly, trying to awaken the memory hidden in the corner through rhythmic frequency.
After a while, Nice put down his finger and shook his head at Angel: "I can't remember."
"Although my memory is not as good as your mentor's, it's not too far off. I can easily recall things hundreds of years ago. But this time, I didn't think of it. It was probably something I hadn't noticed.
Little details."
"For example, places I have visited, some murals I saw accidentally, or some rumors I heard accidentally."
These are extremely fragmentary memories. Nice just inadvertently imprinted the details of that time into his mind. It is very difficult to search for this little inadvertent memory from countless memories.
To be continued...
