Could it be that they are worried that the Five Elements Palace will come to trouble them? After all, the East China Sea is also within the jurisdiction of the Five Elements Palace, and the saints do not dare to be too arrogant.
Putting aside the doubts in his heart, Wan Lei knew what he was here for.
His eyes swept over the corpses, observing each corpse, hoping to find clues through the autopsy.
At the very least, the cause of death is discovered.
After watching it for a while, Wan Lei discovered that he did not know how to do an autopsy. After all, he had never learned this knowledge.
Wan Lei had no choice but to rely on his small knowledge reserve to discover clues.
His eyes kept scanning, and finally he discovered something astonishing.
The degree of decomposition of these corpses is the same.
Although he could not rely on the degree of decay to determine how long these people had been dead, he was certain that these people all died at the same time.
There was only the body of the proprietress in the bun shop. The boss and the child both died a long time ago and were buried long ago.
There was only the body of the fish shop owner in front of the fish shop.
Among the young lovers, there was only Xiaolong’s corpse.
There was no one in front of the firewood store.
That scrawny writer probably didn’t even have anyone to bury him.
The only exception is the baby in the young mother's arms, which has rotted to the point of almost losing its flesh, indicating...
She didn't bury the baby at all.
Except for those who died long ago, the other corpses were all in the same degree of decomposition.
In other words, they were killed at the same time.
After making this discovery, Wan Lei continued to observe the cause of death of the corpse.
The limbs of these corpses were intact, there were no injuries on their bodies, and there were no broken bones. To be precise, there were no obvious fatal injuries on their limbs and trunks.
Wan Lei thought, there was no expression of fear on the faces of these people before they died, which meant that they were killed by a tyrannical force in an instant, without even having time to be afraid.
The power to kill tens of thousands of mortals in an instant can be achieved by any high-level monk, but these powers will definitely destroy the body of the deceased. It is impossible to preserve it so completely, and it is impossible not to leave a trace of scars.
Then, going to the next step of reasoning, since it is not the death of the physical body, it is the death of the soul.
The spiritual power, similar to swinging a sword to form a river, swept through the town in an instant and directly killed the souls of these people. But Wan Lei soon realized that something was wrong. If it was soul killing, then the illusion of these people was
You have to know where it comes from. If you are addicted to illusions, it must be your own consciousness that is addicted.
To be conscious, you must have a soul. A body without a soul is no longer a life, but an artifact.
Then the method of annihilating the soul's death is no longer valid.
Wan Lei's thinking fell into a bottleneck.
As we all know, to kill a person, you must either kill the body or destroy the soul. In addition, it is memetic pollution, which directly pollutes people into memes. Some change their appearance, some change their essence but their appearance remains unchanged.
of.
But in the current situation, none of these three conditions apply.
Wan Lei couldn't figure it out, so he grabbed the mayor next to him and started to study it.
Since you can't figure it out, just take a sample and examine it.
Wan Lei first put the mayor down to the ground. The mayor struggled violently, but with a corpse, how could he struggle?
Wan Lei first checked the mayor's physical body. Because he was a foundation-building monk, the decay of his physical body was almost negligible, and he was the best sample.
The six-eared monkey watched quietly from the side and did not stop Wan Lei's movements at all.
There were no visible scars on the mayor's body. Then, Wan Lei used the power of his consciousness and swept towards the mayor's sea of consciousness.
However, the scene in front of him shocked Wan Lei.
The sea of consciousness is completely exhausted, and there is no soul within it.
This shouldn't be the case. Without souls, where would they get the consciousness to sink into those illusions?
This is totally against common sense!
Is this the method of a saint?
The scene before him made Wan Lei's clothes soaked with sweat. He vaguely sensed that there must be a big conspiracy behind the strange deaths of these people.
Such a conspiracy involves a saint. If he investigates it, it will definitely touch the saint's evil scale, and he will definitely die by then.
The Five Elements Palace... shouldn't kill a saint to avenge him for a little Taixu Realm disciple, right?
Saints are so precious. They are probably just warnings and admonitions?
Then didn’t he die in vain?
He came to the Five Elements Palace to save people, not to die...
The bastard Fire Palace Master!
Wan Lei knew that if he just retreated and reported the investigation results truthfully, it would be said that these people had died long ago. Because of their belief in the Monkey King, their remaining souls could stay in the world happily, and the matter would be over.
When the time comes, he will get his 500 merit points, and the Monkey King will be safe and sound. It will be good for him and me.
Hello everyone.
Isn't it?
But...but...
Are these tens of thousands of people who died in vain now without a trace?
If he died unjustly like this, there would be no day when the truth would be revealed?
He is unwilling to do so.
He knew that each of those people had experienced the most miserable tragedy in the world, and he knew that they actually wanted to live.
I want to live happily, not die in such a weird way.
Although they are dead, they...
I won’t be able to calm down until I find out!
For these people who died in vain, for them to be brought to justice.
Give it a try...
A look of determination flashed in Wan Lei's eyes, and the power of his spiritual consciousness came out again, sweeping towards the mayor's body.
He was determined to get to the bottom of it!
The power of Wan Lei's consciousness is active in the mayor's body. Since the soul cannot be found in the sea of consciousness and the body has died, there must be something that can support their consciousness and control the dead body.
It cannot be controlled by external forces, so there is no need to create an illusion that suits everyone.
The illusion experienced by each of them must be related to their own consciousness.
Then, there must be something carrying their consciousness.
While thinking, Wan Lei was suddenly stunned.
He discovered...
In every inch of the mayor's flesh and blood, there are fluctuations similar to the soul.
This is completely unreasonable. The body is the body and the soul is the soul...
Could it be!
Wan Lei stood up suddenly, his eyes a little horrified.
When someone was killing them, they crushed his soul to pieces, and at the same time used a strange force to leave the soul fragments in the flesh and blood, integrating them with the flesh and blood!
It is this power that keeps their obsession alive and allows them to wander around consciously even after death, thinking that they have really lived the life they longed for.
And this strange power is...
Wan Lei suddenly looked back and looked at the statue of Monkey King next to him.
