"Guy, Quevedo, how long do you want to sleep? Get ready to go back." Arthur walked into the tree hole and looked at the two people sleeping sprawled out, with a comfortable smile on his face. He could be so relaxed.
It proves that the danger has passed. This time I came to the Elf Forest just because of the words of a mysterious woman who suddenly appeared. Although I don’t know how the mysterious woman learned that Isis was causing trouble for George and the others, the things that have been resolved are
There is no need for Arthur to think about it any more. Whether that woman is a friend or an enemy is not what Arthur needs to consider now.
After getting the Ring of Life and temporarily using the Mother Goddess to solve Isis's troubles, Arthur was in a surprisingly good mood.
Moreover, when fighting Isis, Arthur felt that the elemental power in his body had spread out of his body. For a moment, Arthur was able to make thunder directly resound in Isis's head. It was also at that moment that the roar of the seven-note scale struck.
Broken the head of Isis. This was not a power that the witchcraft Arthur usually used could show, but the situation at that time did not allow Arthur to feel the restlessness of Kama in his body.
After Guy and Quevedo got up in confusion and got ready, Arthur sat down on the wooden bed, his expression serious again.
"Lagertys...that bastard, he has something to do with the captain's death. Let's go back and talk to that guy Jace about it. I wonder if Jace has 'eated' recently...his habit
It's really hard to accept." Arthur leaned against the tree wall and closed his eyes to recuperate: "Mother Goddess...I wonder what this god has done."
...
Arthur and George were divided into two groups and spent more than 20 days returning to Brighton City. After Arthur explained the Nakau construction matters to Quevedo, he came to Jess alone on the day of the moon.
The clinic where you are located.
"Dr. Jess? He's been away for the past two days. He asked us for leave and said he was going on a long trip." The working nurse said to Arthur, who was wearing a dome hat covering most of his face. Arthur scratched his head and walked out.
Clinic, where will the visually impaired Jess go if he doesn't work hard in the clinic?
"Extra! Extra! Singer Di Cano was found dead with his throat cut in his residence! The suspect is suspected to be a mysterious serial killer who has appeared in recent days! This is already the third victim! Everyone must be careful at home!"
A newspaper boy accidentally bumped into Arthur's back. After taking a few steps back apologetically, and just as he was about to run in the other direction of the street, Arthur stopped the boy and asked for a newspaper by paying an ed.
The newspaper headlines were writing about the death of singer Di Cano. The cause of death was that his throat was slit with a sharp instrument. The law enforcement team is currently investigating. Arthur sneered, serial killer? Jess is really getting more and more outrageous. Look.
After looking at the address in the newspaper, he was on Sixth Avenue, a relatively remote new street in the West District. Not far away, two members of the law enforcement team wearing black and white penguin uniforms appeared on the street. Arthur held down his dome hat and mixed in with the crowd to leave the clinic.
door.
...
Is this here? Arthur leaned against the low wall and carefully checked the three-story small residence surrounded by numerous law enforcement teams. The focus now was not on the body, but where Jace was. He needed some clues... Arthur saw the right moment.
, one rolled over and entered the low wall. While no one was noticing, Arthur climbed up the low wall in three or two steps. After carefully confirming that there was no one on the third floor, Arthur opened a window from the outside and climbed into a room where clothes were placed.
Inside.
Being careful not to step on the gold-lined clothes that were randomly thrown on the ground, Arthur couldn't help but sigh softly: "Wow... you are indeed a singer. The clothes are the kind you have never seen before. This is real gold."
Oh my God, I thought I would be rich if I didn’t have to worry about food and clothing. If I had known, I would have learned to sing.”
"Who!" The voice of the law enforcement team came from outside the door. Arthur's heart beat violently. After calming down, he hid in the hanging clothes. The door suddenly opened. Two members of the law enforcement team in black and white uniforms walked into the cloakroom. After careful inspection, there was no one there.
Spotting Arthur's figure, he closed the door with a loud noise and left. Arthur patted his chest and let out a long sigh. Unexpectedly, he accidentally attracted the attention of the law enforcement team. Now he came to find out what Jace had left behind.
What, if we find Jace, we need to stop that guy Jace from continuing to kill people.
Arthur doesn't have a grudge against killing, but Arthur will never do meaningless killings. As the strength of the elemental power gradually increases, Arthur has become very clear that he is gradually becoming far away from the category of ordinary people, and he can easily do it.
He could jump several feet and punch through rocks. Arthur's strength growth could only be matched by orcs in this world. Arthur lay on the ground and listened. After making sure that no one was walking on the third floor, Arthur pressed down
Hat walked out of the room. The third floor was a cloakroom, a dressing room and a piano room where a wooden piano was located. The deceased seemed not to be on this floor.
Arthur controlled his footsteps and searched each room. Jace must have left some clues. He never kills innocent people. If he can find evidence of Dicano's crime, he can know who Jace has been killing recently.
What kind of person is he? Then he can stop Jace before he makes a move next time. What concerned Arthur most about the third floor was a small locked room in the piano room. The height was only fifty centimeters, but it was blocked by three irons.
Locked. If Arthur hadn't searched specifically, Arthur wouldn't have noticed the small room on the wall.
Arthur squatted in front of the door, a weak current flashed across his fingertips and continued to generate electricity. The smell of molten iron metal came from inside the three door locks. This level would not attract the attention of the element detection rod. Arthur pinched the door lock and pressed hard.
He tore it off, pushed open the door and crawled into the room. As soon as he entered the room, Arthur clenched his fists. He saw a corpse tied in iron chains. The pungent smell made Arthur unable to tell where the corpse was.
How long had it been left there? Judging from the height of the corpse, he was just a child. There were many whip wounds on the child's body, and there were even fractures. Even children were attacked, no wonder Jace...
Arthur frowned and left the small room. After thinking twice, he stepped hard. The floor made a creaking sound. There were many footsteps running on the stairs. Arthur held the window railing with one hand and climbed out of the house.
We now know what Jace's goal is. According to what Jace once told Arthur, the targets Jace is looking for are usually people who have committed one of the seven deadly sins. The old gods once proposed that human beings are guilty of seven sins.
Only by atonement through suffering can one obtain the redemption of the atonement.
From the most serious to the least, they are pride, jealousy, rage, laziness, greed, gluttony and lust. The newspaper mentioned that this was the third person, so this is the person who died due to the sin of rage, right? Is laziness next? Jay
It seems that Arthur will not attack ordinary people. It seems that what he is looking for this time is a noble-level lazy person. Arthur, who was secretly investigating everything, quickly disappeared into the alley. And in another dark alley not far from the singer's house
, Jace, a tall and thin man with blond hair and glasses, was looking at the place where Arthur disappeared with cold eyes. The silver scalpel in his hand slowly retracted into his cuff: "Is he looking for that person too? That inferior imitation.
You dare to blaspheme the intentions of the gods."
...
At nightfall, he took Johns to the Elton's Tavern, which is famous at night on Fourth Avenue in the South District. Arthur asked the bartender for two glasses of Heath beer and sat in the corner.
Johns took a swig of his first glass of beer in early spring and exclaimed happily: "So, you are looking for a nobleman who is guilty of laziness? He may be the target of a serial killer recently, right? How do you know? Do you know him?
That serial killer?”
"So, anyway, before I leave Brighton City, and for the sake of my family, I have to bring peace to this city, right?" Arthur stopped his hand movements after clinking glasses with Johns, and he noticed this
At that time, a man walked in at the door of the tavern, a thin man with blond hair. Although he had a smile on his face, he gave off the aura of not letting strangers in.
It's been a long time since I felt such an aura from Jace. Arthur frowned and stood up, drawing Jace's attention to him. Jace asked for a glass of seaside liquor from the tavern and sat next to Johns. His murderous aura made Johns even more nervous.
Feeling trembling.
"Jace, why are you here?" Arthur drank the beer, thinking that the murderer was Jace. He did not smile at Jace. Although he was disgusted with the singer's child abuse behavior, he was not satisfied with Jace's behavior.
Disagree as well.
"I did not kill that man. If it were me, I would not expose myself in the newspaper. He is just a pervert who wants to be famous." Jess explained the situation in a few words, regardless of Johns' shocked expression.
After finishing his own drink, he grabbed Johns' beer and drank it.
Indeed, Jace had never been discovered before, and his so-called acts of justice were only done in private. This time, even the newspapers found out about it. Although the murderer was guilty, his reputation was too great. It seemed that it was really true.
It wasn't Jace's fault.
"So, Jace, why did you come to me?"
"Help me, I want to punish this imitator." Jace said lightly, but murderous intent overflowed.
