Chapter 278 List

Creighton actually had a guess. If it followed the wishes of Saint Mored and the laws of natural labor, then the number of the Mourning Cross should become smaller and smaller as it goes deeper into the ground, but this is not the case.

The numbers of the mourning crosses had nothing to do with the depth of their existence, and the bodies were buried in a mess, not like the work of a saint.

Louis' suspicion coincided with his.

"There is definitely a magic circle used to perform Elisio's ritual in Gevo, and only Osmar knows where it is." The wizard said confidently: "Those corpses are definitely the sacrifices of that ancient ritual."

"But where did so many dead people come from? Didn't the Dinons here leave before the Manses came?" Donna asked. She couldn't understand this. Schmidt's opinion of the "treasure" The description was still working in her mind at this moment.

Julius looked at her and explained in a cold tone: "Schmidt once said that those Dinon people took away all the property they could take away, and only kept what they couldn't take away."

Donna blinked and took a moment to understand what he meant.

She asked horrified: "You mean they killed these people themselves just to take away the 'power' gained from the blood sacrifice through the Elisio ritual?"

"They may be slaves, or the elderly, women and children who cannot create value immediately. As long as there are enough warriors and treasures, women can be plundered or traded in other countries."

Saint Louis also sighed: "I'm afraid that Saint Mordred is aware of these long-lasting sinful actions and hopes that we will not disturb the sleep of these victims."

Donna was completely stunned. Whether the treasure existed or not was no longer a concern for her.

Clayton didn't have any hope for the morality of ancient people, so he wasn't surprised. He waited for them for a while, but no new opinions appeared, so he continued: "I didn't find any evidence, but I believe that those we killed before Detective Hook is also looking for the magic circle, and there are excavation tools in their room. Moreover, when I was in Sasha City, Detective Hook, who was working with the Holy Grail Society, borrowed the information here from the city hall. Now it seems that it is. There is another plan.”

"However, the direction of their search has nothing to do with the swamp. Maybe the Alicio array is not under the swamp."

"This may have something to do with the Holy Grail Society." Julius said, "Let Qian Ning investigate."

"Then leave it to him."

Clayton mentioned another incident: "Osmar and the doctor have a good relationship. When we met before, the doctor seemed very sane and showed no signs of being controlled. The doctor said that the reason why they got to know each other was that Osmar was particularly good at fishing. ”

"This may be the effect of witchcraft." Old Perot said skeptically.

However, Clayton thinks there is still some possibility that Chud Osmar is really good at fishing.

"I tentatively assume that he has the ability to mentally control fish, or to release a special optical or odorous message to lure fish." He tentatively noted this down, and no one else expressed objections.

"He would look for opportunities to go to the river and used to spy there from the hillsides."

Donna raised a hand: "I think he wanted to target the water nymph. Our appearance at that time was just an accident."

"Yes." This was a new point of view, but Clayton completely agreed with her, because Padre Louis had just provided a crucial clue: "In Quake's reaction, it was he who killed Sevan, and in A According to Dredd’s testimony, it was a monster similar to me who took Sevan away.”

Julius took a cigarette and lit it for himself. The flames of the fireplace made him warm, and the wounds all over his body were itching: "This may have been an accident at the time, but it is not now. Leave in Adelaide After Gevo, Osmar's thoughts were focused on us. He had visited here before and almost killed me. Although we were separated by the door at the time, my intuition now tells me that it was him who was watching here. ”

"I think he was not looking for trouble. Maybe we have similarities with Adelaide, which is why he started looking for a replacement after Adelaide left."

This theory is almost impeccable, but Clayton never thought that this matter that had been solved would cause so much trouble in the future.

Clayton thought for a moment and looked at Donna.

No matter how you think about it, Donna is the one most similar to the Water Fairy in their group.

She is at least female, and also knows some destiny-related witchcraft.

But it could also be Barbara, who is resurrected from death and has something in common with the way the Water Nymph awakens.

But no matter what, this was an impossible deal to make with Osmar.

"There is also the beast Quok who is attracted by disasters. He doesn't know about this. People outside Osmar's sect are tracking it instead. But it may also be Quok's own problem. He doesn't seem to know how to do it. People who socialize with college professors like Christopher.”

Clayton paused for a moment, then reminded: "For the time being, this is the only inference about Chud Osmar himself, but there seems to be some doubts about the Salvation Army. Kuok said that they are all sick. If I He was right, he was talking about the symptoms that Francis had before his death."

That symptom also appeared in Barbara, and she was more likely to be targeted by Chud Osmar.

"You also went crazy when Francis had an attack. This disease can even affect you. What does this mean?" Julius asked.

Clayton looked at him with dissatisfaction: "I thought this was a problem you should figure out."

He asked the wizard consultant to do this.

Julius spread his hands: "Wizards only have one more sensory organ than others, which does not mean that we are omniscient and omnipotent. You must have something unique, but you don't know it yet. I think you should think about whether your parents have left you with any special physique."

"Of course, I will."

Clayton wrote down all the key points. After recording, he raised his head and said to Ian Lazarus. "Mr. Lazarus, I hope you can be more energetic. You seem to have a lot of opinions about us."

The newborn vampire did not join their discussion, as if everything here had nothing to do with him.

From Clayton's perspective, Ian Lazarus' face was waxy yellow in the firelight of the fireplace. He looked sick, like a piece of bacon, but his eyes were fierce, like a bear after hibernation. Barbara grabbed one of his arms and looked at him worriedly from beginning to end.

"Yes, I do have an opinion."

"Now I want you to tell me what you think of us."

Ian's face showed a kind of fanaticism, but his eyes were filled with sadness.

"So you attacked Athena Brugo, I want to know if my only brother died in your hands. He was hired by Brugo before."

He just heard the name "Athena Brugo". He knew that this was the name of the employer in his brother's last commission. He also learned from Clayton that they had contacted before, which made him feel back to the moment when his brother's body was found.

If Clayton killed Athena, it means that he was also on the opposite side of Detective Hook in the last incident.

When I thought that he might have served the murderer for so long, Ian wanted to die immediately.

But he couldn't die yet, he needed an answer.

"Tell me, how did your brother die?" Hearing Ian say "only brother", Clayton's black nails couldn't help but pick at the wound on his abdomen, again and again.

Ian Lazarus broke free from Barbara's hand, he stood up suddenly, trembling all over.

"No, I want you to tell me first, how did you kill those people?!"

Clayton understood his concerns and was not angry: "Just like any human killer, there were only knives and guns. It was in the city. We didn't want to make too much noise, and we wouldn't waste too much time on cutting up the body. We just arranged the scene to look like a vendetta. Now tell me about your brother."

"He only has so much left. Two hands can hold it up." Ian said in a trance, his voice was very dry, and he couldn't even cry because he had lost blood.

He suddenly thought of something and looked back at Barbara.

"Don't look at her. Vampires are a bit sick, but it was definitely not her. She didn't have such a good appetite at the time." Clayton analyzed rationally. "Athena Prug also killed a group of Hook detectives. You know that this employer is not human, right? Based on the characteristics of her body structure, her killing method is unique. You should be able to see it."

Ian Lazarus's judgmental eyes swept over them one by one, and only paused on Louis, who silently accepted this accusation.

There is a life-and-death feud between them, but at this moment, there are heavier things pressing on them, forcing them not to pay attention to each other for the time being.

Looking around, Lazarus' eyes stopped on Clayton again.

"How do I know what you said is true? Maybe there were other monsters with you at that time, not just those present."

"I can swear!" Barbara couldn't help shouting, she also stood up, twisted Ian's body, and forced him to look straight into her eyes: "We are the only ones who killed people, no one else."

Ian Lazarus stared at her silently, like an apprentice who worked part-time staring at his alcoholic mother who always took his own money to gamble.

The absolute authority of the vampire ancestor over his descendants made them have no trust at all.

Clayton slapped his thigh and said, "If you don't have any other opinions, I think we can continue."

They were on a tight schedule. During the day, he would set out again to kill Chude Osmar.
