Chapter 1483 Murder in Gust Town

To say Alex is interesting is not to refer to his character. But Angel discovered that this Alex had a very strange aura. If the aura is compared to a halo, then everyone else is shrouded in a layer of darkness, but Alex is as bright and dazzling as the sun.

Because the only power Angel can use now is illusion, he didn't see why Alex had such an aura that was so different from other people's.

Angel simply began to observe Alex.

During the observation process, Angel also noticed that this Alex seemed to be able to see himself. When other people glanced at him, they were not aware of it due to the illusion of blindness. But when Alex glanced at him, even though he concealed it well, the slight reaction in his pupils betrayed him.

Could this Alex be an extraordinary person? However, it looks a bit different.

Angel thought that Alex would keep pretending not to see him, but he didn't expect that when everyone in the church left, he would take the initiative to talk to him.

"Are you a ghost?" Alex asked again.

Angel stared at Alex, this white-haired boy who looked to be only sixteen or seventeen years old. When facing him, he had no other emotions, no fear, no surprise, just curiosity.

If this is a four or five-year-old child who is naive and ignorant, that's fine. But Alex was obviously very thoughtful, but his thoughts were not on others, but on himself.

When dealing with foreign objects, even outsiders, there is an attitude of "it doesn't matter if it has or doesn't matter".

It was not easy for him to show a hint of curiosity with Angel's appearance.

"Have you ever seen a ghost?" Angel asked.

"It seems you are not a ghost." Alex said very firmly.

"Your observations are very keen." Angel nodded noncommittally.

Alex continued to answer Angel's previous question: "I don't know if I have seen a ghost. Maybe I have. That's what my heart tells me."

"Is it because of amnesia?" Angel remembered that the priest named Brenlang seemed to have mentioned that Alex had lost his memory.

"Eavesdropping is not a polite behavior." Alex said softly, without going into details or harshly, and continued: "It is indeed a matter of losing memory. I don't remember what I have experienced, but I know in my heart I, once upon a time, may have seen a ghost.”

Alex paused: "Mr. Pat, have you ever seen a ghost?"

"I've seen it."

Angel asserted without hesitation, which made Alex feel a little dazed and muttered in a low voice: "So, are there really ghosts in the world?"

Angel thought Alex would ask about the ghost, but he quickly calmed down and didn't ask anything. Instead, he said: "Then Mr. Pat is not a ghost, so what is he? Why can't other people see it?" to you?"

Angel: "It's normal for other people not to see me. I think you should ask: Why can you see me?"

Without any hesitation, Alex followed Angel's words and asked, "Why can I see you?"

"I don't know either." Angel replied with a smile.

Alex was startled by this malicious reply, and the corners of his calm mouth couldn't help but twitch.

Angel really didn't know, but he thought it might be related to Alex's lost memory. Maybe he was once a transcendent. After all, the extraordinary person's inspiration is very strong, and the blinding illusion he casts is actually very low-level. It is a simple use of illusion energy and does not involve the level of "law". Generally gifted people can detect something is wrong, but it is not difficult for a wizard apprentice who has entered the door to see himself.

Angel: "I'm curious. Don't you feel scared when you see someone that others can't see?"

Alex: "If you want to kill me, you have many opportunities; if you don't kill me, why should I be afraid?"

After Alex finished speaking, he didn't even pay attention to Angel, but sat down, took out a piece of paper and recorded some words.

"The inference on the cause of Knight Raven's death?" Angel whispered softly, then muttered to himself: "So, have the clergy now even begun to work part-time as detectives to solve cases?"

Alex continued to hold the pen and write quickly on the paper.

However, the content is very brief. It only lists the name of Knight Raven, and then writes Faxian's name on the other side of his name, with "Faxian's birthday gift" marked underneath.

Alex thought for a moment, and finally crossed out all the characters and wrote a place name: Holy City.

"Where is the Holy City?" Angel saw that Alex was beginning to focus on what he was doing, so he planned to walk around the church and then leave, but he didn't expect Alex to write down a place name at the end.

What Angel was looking for was the location information, so he asked directly.

Alex put down his pen and looked at Angel suspiciously. He seemed a little surprised that Angel didn't know about the Holy City.

Alex was silent for a long time. Instead of asking about Angel's origins, he asked: "...Why are you following me?"

"I want to ask you for some information." Angel didn't hide it either.

"What information?"

"Location information." Angel pointed to the words "Holy City" written by Alex on the page: "I want to know where this is, where the Holy City is, and what is the name of this continent? "

Angel's three consecutive questions made Alex's eyes move slightly: "From your tone, you are not from this continent?"

"I don't know." Angel shrugged: "Aren't I waiting for your answer? After you answer, I can confirm whether I am from this continent."

Alex looked at Angel quietly, always feeling that this strange person was full of mysterious unknowns.

"This is Gust Town, which is said to be in the southeast of the Holy City. The Holy City is an acropolis of the Kruya Divine Court and the closest city to Gust Town."

Angel: "It is said? Have you never been there?"

Alex shook his head: "At least in my memory, I have never been there."

Angel's eyes unconsciously looked at the paper page, where the "Holy City" on it was clearly visible, and he asked casually: "You have never been to the Holy City, so what do you mean by writing about this Holy City? Or do you think that the death of this Raven Knight is related to the Holy City?"

Alex shook his head: "There is no evidence to show that it is related, but..."

Alex suddenly fell silent when he said this.

Angell was looking for geographical information, not to solve the case. He didn't care about the answer. He was about to continue asking about the geographical location, but Alex continued the unfinished topic.

"But I think it's not just Knight Raven. Miss Camelot, Uncle Maini's family... this series of cases seem to have something in common." Alex secretly studied the cause of death of these people. Although he couldn't find the murderer, he found something strange. However, for some reasons, he didn't tell Father Burrenlang or anyone else.

Now Angell suddenly asked this question. Angell was a stranger to Alex and a stranger to Gust Town.

So, he thought for a moment and slowly revealed the desire to confide that he had suppressed for a long time.

"Knight Raven has a long-cherished lady named Fassi. He once told me that he wanted to confess his love to Fassi on her birthday. Later, I heard that Fassi told her friends that if she could go to the hymn hall to listen to a sacred song on her birthday, her life would be perfect."

"The hymn hall is in the Holy City. I believe that Knight Raven must have known the news. Fassi's birthday is in a few days, so he went to the Holy City alone. As a result, his head was found on the bridge pier leading to the Holy City."

Angel did not want to listen to the case analysis, but Alex himself was completely immersed in the case.

"Knight Raven is not an isolated case. There have been many cases before him. All the dead have only a head left. The sheriff said that the murderer killed without bias, but I don't think it's right. I found a commonality. The reason for their death is that they all want to step out of Gust Town."

"Miss Camelot is going to the Holy City to visit relatives she hasn't seen for many years, and Uncle Maini's family is moving to the Holy City... Knight Raven is very likely going to the Holy City to buy tickets for the Hymn Hall for Fassi."

"It's all like this. All the dead are going to leave Gust Town. Whether intentionally or unintentionally, as long as they step out of the scope of Gust Town, they will die."

"The entire Gust Town is like a birdcage that cannot be escaped."

"As long as the bird wants to fly away, its wings will be broken by unknown hands."

Angel was not interested in the case in Gust Town, but as Alex narrated, he became interested.

If Alex's inference is true, all the dead people actually died because they wanted to leave Gust Town.

Then this series of cases is indeed a bit complicated.

After all, it is impossible for everyone to tell others about their destination, but in the end, everyone died without any surprise. This is obviously not something that an ordinary murderer can do. In particular, Alex analyzed one of the dead. Her death was most likely due to a quarrel with her husband that night, and she was ready to leave Gust Town in a rage; even a wizard who can read minds cannot perfectly grasp the movements of others. People's hearts are fickle, and there are countless possibilities every second.

Which "murderer" can grasp the movements of everyone without omission, even if it is just an accidental quarrel and leaving, can capture and kill people?

So, after listening to it, Angel felt that it might not be an ordinary case, perhaps it was the work of the extraordinary.

"Everyone will have an accident as long as they want to leave Gust Town. So, why do you think it is?"

After releasing his inner desire to confide, Alex regained his calm appearance again: "I don't know."

"Then you study these cases because of curiosity?"

Alex shook his head without hesitation: "I'm not curious."
