Chapter 25 Strange Death
Tran Street, a street in the West End of Conston City.
The streets are dilapidated, you can see **** thrown away from time to time, and most of the surrounding buildings are low-rise bungalows.
The people who live here are mostly families who work in factories.
At this time, more than a dozen police officers in blue police uniforms pulled up a cordon outside a bungalow to isolate the surrounding area.
There are people nearby and passers-by who are curious to watch, but they are blocked and not allowed to approach.
Jingle Bell!
Accompanied by the bell of the carriage, a blue carriage stopped nearby. From the carriage, a man and a woman walked straight to the direction of the cordon.
The man has black hair, is around twenty years old, and has a handsome face.
The woman has long blue hair, a beautiful face and a cold temperament.
This man and woman are Feline and Ivy.
"This mission came at a bad time!"
Walking side by side with Ivy, Fei Lin felt a pity.
In a few days, the practice method of the second ring and the third ring, which is the half of the secret book left in his hand, has only read a small part.
Originally, he wanted to master this practice method as soon as possible, but he suddenly received a task, so he had to temporarily put aside the study of the practice method and follow Ivy on the mission.
"Stop, you can't enter in front."
Seeing Fei Lin and Ivy coming over, a young police officer immediately stopped them.
Although the Security Bureau cooperates with the Security Department, not all police officers know the people in the Security Bureau, it is better to say that most of them do not. After all, the Security Bureau is a secret department.
Fei Lin was about to take out his documents, but at this time, a woman's voice sounded.
"It's my own!"
I saw a woman wearing a police uniform with three slashes at the epaulet coming over.
It was Jumana Kidd who knew Ivy and had a relationship with Fehling.
"Miss Ivy, Mr. Sookes, I didn't expect you to be here this time."
She greeted Ivy and Fehlin.
"What's the situation?"
Ivy asked.
She and Fei Lin came over immediately after receiving the mission, only knowing that it may be related to the mystery, the specific situation is unknown.
"Someone called the police at noon today, saying that a family of three died at home. After I brought someone here, I found the death... It was very strange, so I had someone notify your department."
Jumana said in a panic.
"The death is very strange, why is it strange?"
Feelin frowned slightly, and couldn't help thinking of the two corpses he saw some time ago with their eyes gouged out and died in a miserable state. Are they just like those two corpses?
"It's hard to describe, the corpse is inside, you'd better go and see for yourself."
Just thinking about it, Jumana's face turned pale, and she said in secret.
The three of them walked to the enclosed bungalow, where the bodies of the dead family of three were now inside.
However, when she reached the door, Ivy stopped and asked, looking at the door that had fallen from the door and had obviously suffered violence.
"What's up with this door?"
"The people who found it saw that the door was locked from the inside, and no one responded, so they took an axe and opened the door."
Jumana said.
The three people walked into the house. The furniture in the house was rudimentary, and it could be seen that the economic conditions of the family were very ordinary.
came to the bedroom door and looked inside.
I saw a simple bed in the bedroom, a man, a woman and a little girl were lying quietly on the bed.
This is the family of three that was killed.
Came here, Zhu Mana stopped, and seemed to have some psychological shadows, and did not want to see the death of the three people again.
Felin and Ivy didn't say anything, they passed Jumana and entered the bedroom.
"Contact Mystery, add 0.3 to Mystery Points!"
As soon as ?? entered the bedroom, a line of text appeared and disappeared quickly in front of Fei Lin.
He kept walking, but he couldn't help but tremble in his heart.
Jumana's judgment is correct, the death of these three is indeed related to the mystery, and it is likely that they were killed by some kind of monster.
The response of the ?? panel is the best proof.
These three corpses should also be the same as the two corpses with their eyes gouged out. Because they were killed by monsters, their bodies were stained with mysterious aura, which triggered a reaction on the panel.
The bedroom is not big, Fehlin and Ivy quickly walked to the bed and looked at the three corpses lying on the bed.
"hiss..."
Felin's scalp was numb, and he finally understood why Zhumana was so secretive about the death of the three.
The three corpses were wearing pajamas, and without the slightest wound, it seemed that they were not dead, but sleeping.
But what is terrifying is that the three of them closed their eyes, but they all had weird smiles on their faces.
It is a weird smile that is hard to describe. It is a weird smile that makes people feel chills in their bones once they are seen.
Fortunately, it is daytime now. If I see it at night, I am afraid it will be even more chilling.
Although the corpses of a man and a woman whose eyes had been gouged out were already very infiltrating, Fei Lin felt that they were still not comparable to the three corpses in front of him.
He looked at Ivy, and saw Ivy's brows furrowed. She had come into contact with many mysterious hers, and obviously she couldn't help but suffer some shocks.
"This time it's up to you to examine the corpse, and I'll guide you!"
The wrinkled brows stretched out, Ivy glanced at Fei Lin and said.
"it is good."
Felin gave Ivy a surprised look.
During the first mission, Ivy ignored him, but this time, she planned to take the initiative to guide him.
He clearly felt the change in Ivy's attitude towards him.
But this is a good thing for him. Since he has joined the Kingdom Security Bureau, it is necessary to master the technique of autopsy.
He quickly agreed.
"Take these medical gloves."
Ivy took out a pair of white gloves and handed them to Fei Lin, Fei Lin put the pair of white gloves on.
"Start with the head of the male corpse, check for wounds under his hair, and open his eyes and mouth to check."
Ivy continued.
Taking a deep breath, Fehling began the first autopsy in his life.
The ?? hand touched the male corpse, and immediately felt a cold touch.
Even through the gloves, I can feel the cold, just like touching an ice cube.
The corpses are so cold, and I don't know if it's because it's cold in autumn now, or because the three corpses are contaminated with mysterious aura.
There was a strong discomfort in his heart, and his body couldn't help but get goosebumps. He suppressed this discomfort, and he began to perform an autopsy according to Ivy's instructions.
He gently poked the hair of the male corpse and carefully checked whether there were any wounds under the male corpse's hair.
After checking under the hair, he opened his eyes, moved his mouth, and checked carefully.
Fortunately, not long after he died, the weather was cold, and there was no strong corpse odor.
After more than half an hour, under the guidance of Ivy, Fehling completed the examination of the three corpses.
There were no wounds on the whole body of the three corpses, not even the slightest scratch.
Judging from the color of the corpse's skin, there is no sign of poisoning, and it is not poisonous to die.
The conclusion after the inspection is that there is no sign of injury, no sign of poisoning, and the method of killing is unknown.
Fehlin and Ivy walked out of the bedroom, and Jumana, who had been watching from the bedroom, hurriedly asked.
"How about it?"
"It's very likely that someone should transport the body away."
Ivy said.
"it is good."
Jumana nodded.
"Who was the person who first discovered the three bodies? Can you find that person? I have some questions to ask him."
Fehling looked at the room and asked.
"This man's name is Nick Demps, and he's a nearby resident. I'll have someone call him."
Jumana agreed, while Ivy gave Fei Lin a somewhat surprised look.
In her opinion, most of these three people were killed by monsters, and the monsters have already left, and it is difficult to inquire about useful information from ordinary people.
But since Fei Lin wanted to ask, she naturally wouldn't stop it.
Felin is a rookie who joined the Security Bureau not long ago, but her status in the group is equal to her.
After a while, a man was brought over by a policeman.
Aged in his forties, wearing cheap clothes, he was obviously very nervous because of the reason he was brought, it should be Nick Demps.
"Officer, I never killed them, I can swear."
Nick Demps immediately panicked when he saw Fehling and others.
"Don't be nervous, we don't suspect that you killed people, we just want to ask you some questions."
Fehling said soothingly.
"Police officer, please, as long as I know, I will not hide anything."
Nick Demps breathed a sigh of relief and said quickly.
"When you found out that the family might have an accident, the door was locked, can you be sure?"
Fehling asked.
"I can be sure, I pushed hard for several times but didn't push it away, so I cut it open with an axe."
Nick Demps affirmed.
"Then after you entered, are the windows locked or open?"
Flynn asked again.
"Officer, I was worried about the situation of the three and didn't pay attention."
Nick Demps shook his head.
"Think about it again, whether the window is locked or open."
Nick Demps shook his head again, he really didn't pay attention at the time.
"Let me come."
Ivy said.
She had already guessed Fei Lin's intention from Fei Lin's inquiry.
Clap!
looked at Nick Demps, she snapped her fingers gently, and then said.
"Recall, was the window locked at that time?"
She hypnotized Nick Demps in a hypnotic way, allowing Nick Demps to replay his memory and dig deep into the memory.
"It's closed, yes, it's closed..."
The hypnotized Nick Demps recalled the situation and said.
"Okay, our questions are over, you can go."
Ivy snapped his fingers again. Nick Demps had no idea that he had fallen into hypnosis just now. He only felt that his eyelids suddenly trembled.
The only way to bring someone in, the police officer who had never seen such an incredible method, looked at Ivy in awe before leaving with Nick Demps.
"These three people were killed in a closed room. The monsters who killed these three people probably had the ability to pass through walls."
Flynn said.
The reason why he called this person was to determine whether he was killed in a closed room, and to determine whether the monster that killed the three had the ability to pass through walls.
"It is very likely a monster of the spirit type."
Ivy nodded and said.
Similar to monsters with the ability to pass through walls, she has encountered them before.
At night, the cordon was still there, but the police had already withdrawn.
Fehlin and Ivy entered the dead man's house again, but the difference was that with them there were stray cats controlled by Ivy one after another.
They are ready to hunt monsters by smell with these stray cats like last time.
pat, pat!
Ivy snapped two fingers, and all the stray cats began to sniff around the room.
Fehling looked at the stray cats, and he knew that the stray cats would spread out after a while looking for scents.
I just don’t know, this time it will take a few more days, I hope to find it sooner, he is still waiting to go back to learn the practice method of the second ring and the advanced third ring.
But slowly, he found something unusual.
Although these stray cats were searching for smells, they did not spread out like last time, as if they could not find the smell.

Chapter 26 The third trigger mechanism of the panel
"Is this not being able to find the smell?"
Fehling looked at Ivy, who apparently also noticed that these stray cats were unusual.
"Um."
Ivy frowned slightly on Ivy's delicate face and nodded.
The reason why these stray cats can be used to search for monsters is because most of the monsters have a unique smell, which is like a tiger and leopard, which is enough to frighten other creatures.
This allows animals with a strong sense of smell to search.
However, not all monsters have scents that frighten other creatures.
There are even some monsters that can eliminate their own smell, or even disguise their own smell.
I am afraid that this time I encountered such a monster.
"I can't use stray cats to search, so what should I do next?"
Felling felt tricky.
Ivy's search method has failed, and his own mysterious gun, which is good at fighting and destructive, has no search methods at all.
"We can only suspend operations tonight, go to the Security Bureau early tomorrow morning, and apply to the Security Bureau to borrow a searched curse."
Ivy thought about it and said.
"Does the cursed thing refer to an item contaminated with mysterious extraordinary power?"
Fehling asked.
"Yes, that's the kind of item."
Ivy nodded.
"The ring in your hand should be a curse, right?"
Felin looked at the ring on Ivy's hand.
He felt the change in Ivy's attitude towards him, so he asked the question that he had been curious about before.
"No, this is an alchemy item."
Ivy shook his head.
"Alchemy item, this is not a cursed item but an alchemy item? What's the difference between the two?"
Feelin was surprised. He didn’t expect that in addition to cursed items, there were also alchemy items among the items with extraordinary power.
"Curse items are items that are contaminated with mystery and possess extraordinary power under special circumstances. Alchemy items are made by occultists with corresponding secret techniques."
"Although they all have extraordinary powers, cursed items need to be paid for, and the use of alchemy items does not require payment."
"It's just that alchemy items are extremely difficult to refine, and are rarer than cursed items, and are generally several times more expensive than cursed items of the same level."
Ivy explained.
"How many times more expensive?"
Fei Lin’s heart skipped a beat, and he couldn’t help sighing that he was rich.
He had guessed before that the ring in Ivy's hand was worth at least thousands of gold pounds, maybe even tens of thousands of gold pounds.
Now it seems that the value of this ring is probably underestimated.
As a more expensive alchemy item than the cursed thing of the same level, this ring is kept at tens of thousands of gold pounds, and may even reach tens of thousands of gold pounds.
"Could it be...?"
A flash of light flashed in his mind, Fehlin understood why the gun at the initiation ceremony could make the panel react, but Ivy's ring couldn't make the panel react.
Because one is contaminated with a mysterious curse, and the other is an alchemy item refined by secret techniques, only the former can make the panel react, the latter cannot.
The third trigger mechanism of the ?? panel is finally fully understood.
Clap!
Ivy snapped her fingers, and all the wild cats under her control were released, and she fled the house in a panic.
She looked at Feline and said.
"Go back to rest tonight, and go to the Security Bureau tomorrow to borrow a mysterious object with search ability."
"Um."
Felin nodded, that's all that's possible tonight.
The next day, Fehling and Ivy appeared in Lindy's office.
"Deputy Bureau, this time, we tried scent search but failed. We want to apply for a search-type curse."
Flynn and Ivy said to Lindy.
"Apply for a search-type cursed thing?"
Lindy behind the desk is wearing a long purple dress, with a beautiful figure, and the whole person is beautiful and charming.
Hearing Fei Lin and Ivy's words, she raised her eyebrows slightly and said with a slightly serious expression.
"Yes, but cursed objects have side effects. Although the security bureau allows the use of cursed objects with lesser side effects, they should be used with caution."
Both Ivy and Fei Lin are talents she looks at, and she doesn't want them to be irreparably hurt because of the use of cursed objects.
"Yes."
Felin and Ivy both nodded in response.
"You guys wait here."
Let Ferrin and Ivy stay in the office, Lindy stood up, put on her coat, and left the office.
After a long while, he turned back, and in his hand there was a flat object covered with cloth, more than one foot wide and one foot long.
walked up to Fei Lin and Ivy, and she lifted the cloth covering it.
revealed a flat, square veneer with black iron clips on one side.
This is an artboard.
"Contact Mystery, add 1.1 to Mystery Points."
And when he saw this drawing board, words appeared and disappeared quickly in front of Fei Lin.
"This is the doom drawing board. Use this drawing board based on the objects that the target has touched. There will be hints and clues about the target you want to search for."
"As a price, whoever uses the Doom Pad will be doomed for the next few hours."
she introduced.
"Doom?"
Looking at this drawing board, Fei Lin was very afraid.
This kind of bad luck cannot cause direct harm to the body, but it must not be underestimated.
If you have bad luck, all kinds of bad luck will follow one after another, and the damage caused is not necessarily less than the direct damage to the body.
"The reason why the Security Bureau allows the use of the doom board is because the bad luck brought by the doom board is not strong."
"So far, nine people have used the Doom Sketchpad, no one has died, and the worst one is just seriously injured."
Seeing Fei Lin's concern, Lindy said.
"Nobody died? That's okay."
Hearing this, Fei Lin breathed a sigh of relief.
It seems that the bad luck of the bad luck drawing board is not enough to kill, otherwise, he would not have the courage to use this bad luck drawing board.
"The doom drawing board is handed over to you. Although no one has died from using the doom drawing board so far, you should use it with caution."
"It's best not to use it continuously. So far, no one has verified that this kind of bad luck will stack up."
Lindy handed the doom board to Ivy and Fehling.
"Yes."
Flynn and Ivy both nodded.
With the doom drawing board, Fehling and Ivy left the Security Bureau and went to the Security Department.
The use of the ?? Doom Sketchpad requires some items that the search target has come into contact with. The corpses of a family of three who died mysteriously should be able to meet this condition.
The carriage was halfway through, and a carriage with the logo of the Ministry of Guards rushed towards them.
Seeing their carriage, the curtain of the carriage with the sign of the Ministry of Guards was lifted, and someone shouted with their head out.
"Miss Ivy, Mr. Sookes."
Hearing someone calling them, Fei Lin and Ivy lifted the curtains of the carriage and looked outside.
In the carriage with the sign of the Ministry of Guards on the opposite side, a woman of some age stuck her head out. It was the Jumana they had seen yesterday.
"Miss Ivy, Mr. Sookes, someone is dead again!"
Jumana shouted in a panic.
Someone died again. She was just about to go to the Security Bureau to find Ivy and Fehlin, but she didn't expect to meet them on the way.
"Someone else died?!"
Felling and Ivy both froze, and told the coachman to stop the carriage and jump out of the carriage.
At this time, Zhu Mana also jumped out of the carriage, came to Fei Lin and Ivy, and said quickly.
"Another family died today, and the state of death is exactly the same as that of the family yesterday."
"That monster moves so frequently."
Felin and Ivy both looked ugly.
Although the new victims were not killed by them, they were related to them. If they could search for the monster last night, the family should not die.
However, they couldn't do anything last night. They couldn't search through stray cats. Even if they wanted to borrow cursed objects from the Security Bureau to search, it was only possible today.
Because at that time last night, the director had already left work, and only the director knew the password of the warehouse where the cursed object was stored.
"And, this time, it was Nick Demps and his family who were the first to find the body."
Speaking of this, Zhumana couldn't help but panic.
The monster seemed to be eyeing the person who had touched the corpse of the family, and she was one of the people who had touched the corpse.
That is to say, she might also be a target.
Maybe after tonight, she and her family will be the new victims.
"It was Nick Demps and his family who were the first to find the body?"
Felin and Ivy were both startled, and thoughts flashed through quickly.
This is no coincidence, there must be some connection.
The person who has touched the corpse is likely to be contaminated with a special breath, and that monster is likely to be able to search through the special breath and select a target to hunt.
"Miss Ivy, Mr. Sookes, that monster is probably eyeing us, please save us."
Jumana pleaded in panic.
"Take us to where the Nick Demps family is, and have everyone who has come in contact with the corpse be called to that place, and we'll protect you."
Ivy thought about it and made a decision.
"Okay, I'll have someone notify them."
Jumana Stray responded quickly, she ran to her carriage and gave instructions to the police officer who was driving.
After being instructed, the police officer who was driving hurriedly turned the carriage around and left quickly.
And she herself walked back to Flynn and Ivy.
"I'll show you the way."
In this situation, only Fei Lin and Ivy can protect her, and she does not want to leave Fei Lin and Ivy now.
As a guard corps commander, it's a bit embarrassing to behave like this, but she doesn't care so much now.
Compared with life, shame is nothing.
"it is good."
Flynn and Ivy nodded in agreement.
Jumana's thoughts, they can naturally guess, but they do not despise the idea.
Being in different places, if it were them, they would probably not perform much better than Zhumana.
The carriage stopped at the Nick Demps family's residence, and Flynn and Ivy examined the bodies of the Nick Demps family.
Like the corpse of the family yesterday, lying in bed and dying in his sleep, there was not the slightest wound on the outside, only a sly smile on his face that made people chill.
Moreover, Fehling earned 0.4 Mystery Points again.
