Chapter 354 Clues

Listening to the black fox's return, Sean nodded thoughtfully.

In other words, those who have black nematodes in their bodies that are dormant are the first targets to be sent to the construction site for ‘cremation’.

There must be a connection, and there is a high probability that the emperor was behind it pushing Bai Zhan to do this...

While talking, Sherrill walked in from outside.

That night, he had a big quarrel with Bai Zhan's confidant Rosario. Normally, he saved the fire and dared to confront the old employee who had left his job without permission. Bai Zhan was employing people, so he should be smart. Give him more credit.

However, Sherrill did not receive any reward or punishment. Bai Zhan gave people the feeling that "I should reward you, but I don't want to do this from the bottom of my heart."

After walking in, Sherrill said loudly: "Brother, you guessed it right. After being entangled by me that night, Rosario became more and more anxious. In the end, he had a very unpleasant trouble with me. Even if it was a bit embarrassing, it was still I found an opportunity to leave. In the past two days, Bai Zhan's group of confidants have been coming in and out, apparently looking for the crazy beast. "

Sean nodded: "The Crazy Beast was indeed released by Bai Zhan, and Rosario's absence without permission was also prompted by Bai Zhan - tsk, that guy was in a hurry to get the Crazy Beast back, but you stopped him No wonder I was so anxious after that.”

Sherrill scratched his head: "But, just to cover up the deaths of thousands of people, is it necessary to engage in such a big battle? In this world, dead spots are as common as eating and drinking, yet they have to go to such trouble."

Sean smiled: "Because Bai Zhan doesn't want others to know."

To be precise, Bai Zhan definitely didn't want his father to know about this matter - however, he might never have imagined that the driving force behind these things was the emperor.

The father and son are in intrigue, and they are not fighting each other, but the lives of the people of the empire.

Sean looked at Sherrill: "Where are the things I asked you to bring?"

Sherrill pulled a bag at the back and shook out the contents.

They were several corpses that had been burned to black charcoal.

These were the bodies that were covered up by the fire that night, and Sean asked Sherrill to find a way to get a few out.

Of course, the scene had been dealt with by Bai Zhan's confidants, and I heard that the reported death toll was less than a thousand.

Sherrill said while tearing open the bag: "The control there is very strict now. It is said to prevent the possibility of this incident happening again, but in fact it is to guard these bodies so that others will not find them."

"Even I couldn't sneak in. I didn't get enough trust. In the end, I found a few places that were still burning and got in there."

"Thank you for your hard work." Sean smiled.

Sherrill shook his head honestly: "What's so hard about it? It burns off a little bit of the skin and it will heal in a few minutes - but, brother, I noticed something. Bai Zhan's henchmen don't seem to be planning to transport all the corpses out." , some places have even started construction.”

"Oh?" Sean raised his head in surprise and said thoughtfully, "Are you going to bury all the corpses in the statue?"

"I guess that's what I mean." Sherrill nodded.

The news brought by Sherrill was something Sean didn't expect. Generally speaking, the power needed for large-scale rituals is death and despair. Most of the time, corpses are just extra consumables in the ritual.

The corpses were built into the statues...there were too many corpses from a ritual point of view...

It seems that the key point lies in the black nematode.

Sean put his hand on a charred corpse, trying to find traces of black nematodes.

This is something he has discovered before. When a person parasitized by black nematodes dies, the black nematodes in his body will not die due to the death of the host - this thing is more like a parasite on the etheric layer, even There are some conceptual abilities.

After the host dies completely, if you don't use the Heart of Deception to take out the black nematode, the black nematode will automatically disappear within about forty-eight hours. Sean speculates that it may have returned to the etheric layer in some way.

Judging from time, the black nematodes in these corpses should not have disappeared yet.

But as soon as he put his hand on it, Sean frowned.

The black nematode naturally resisted his deceitful heart, and it had nothing to do with whether the host died or not, but this time he felt no resistance.

Unbelievingly, I checked several other corpses and found the same situation.

According to the news from Black Fox, these corpses were all those whose black nematodes had entered dormancy. What is the relationship between this...

After thinking for a moment, Sean grabbed a corpse and took the latter directly into the shadow world.

What cannot be seen in the real world, the world of shadow, a world close to the etheric layer, should be able to discover something.

Sure enough, Sean found something on the bodies with crude lines.

They were several groups of black nematodes. They were entrenched in the lungs, heart and lower abdomen of the corpse, motionless. If you didn't pay careful attention, you might not be able to find them in the shadow world.

Picking up a ball of black worms with You Ye, Sean frowned.

Is this...complete death?

Sean had extracted black nematodes from Black Fox and others before, and even chopped off a lot of them from the prisoners on the last floor of Black Pigeon. He had collected all those black nematodes, and it was clear that even if they were After being separated from the host and imprisoned in the real world, the black nematode has not completely lost its activity. This thing still tries to corrode the surrounding life forms.

Sean also tried to kill a batch, but it took a lot of effort. He even had to use his heart of deceit as many times as possible to deceive the black nematodes in order to kill them.

In general, the life form of this thing is special, coupled with its countless connections with the etheric layer, it can be regarded as a kind of spiritual creature that is difficult to kill and only has instinct.

Can a fire burn this thing to death? Sean would never believe it.

It still has something to do with hibernation...

Moreover, this also means that if the statue of the founding fathers built by Bai Zhan is completely completed, it may be filled with the corpses of countless black nematodes.

Sean grimaced when he thought about what would happen if someone accidentally broke a corner of the statue and a lot of disgusting bugs were exposed from the gap in the skull.

That scene must be very embarrassing.

However, we still have to figure out what this is for...what the ceremony of Bai Zhan is for, and why the emperor is secretly promoting all this.

After exiting the Shadow World, Sean called Black Fox and said: "Continue the investigation. In addition, during this period, brothers from all over the city should pay attention to see if there are any strange strangers in the city recently."

"Stranger?" Black Fox scratched his head in embarrassment. The imperial capital is the head of the empire and the largest open city nearby. Even if the war on the front line is tight, there are still a steady stream of strangers entering the imperial capital - besides, when? The best time to make money is when it’s time to go to war?

Sean kicked the black fox: "Stupid, who told you to just look at the situation when you meet a stranger? Didn't they tell you to continue investigating those people who started to be disrespectful to the emperor? Follow them and check the other party's recent traces. In interpersonal relationships, strangers are the ones who need the most care, do you understand?”

"Hey, I understand, boss, I will give the instructions to the brothers."

…

"No?" Looking at the report handed over by Black Fox, Sean frowned.

More than half a month passed, and the 'stranger' Sean expected did not appear.

As soon as he entered the imperial capital, he integrated all the underground forces here. In terms of strength, he was not strong, but in terms of eyes and ears, he would never lose to those official institutions. Moreover, people at the bottom are born and raised and are less likely to attract the attention of interested people. This is also an important reason why Sean integrates the gang.

I thought that all the rat nests in the imperial capital were contained by me, and the water rats that emerged from the sewers should be easy to catch. To my surprise, there was no feedback.

Knowing that he failed to complete the task assigned by the boss, Black Fox's expression was not good. He was a little ashamed and said: "Boss, it's all my fault for not doing things well..."

Sean waved his hand casually: "I don't blame you, go down and let the brothers continue squatting."

"Yes, I understand."

After the black fox left, Sean raised his chin and began to think.

With the number of people under his command, he shouldn't have no feedback. Even if Heihu doesn't do anything every day, he shouldn't be like this. Therefore, it has nothing to do with whether Heihu is attentive or not.

There is a high probability that your thinking is wrong.

Those who have black nematodes dormant faster in their bodies may not have come into contact with the 'strangers' placed by certain people in the imperial capital.

He is not a new face in the Imperial Capital, but he can come into contact with a lot of ordinary Imperial Capital residents...

…

In front of the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, a man and a woman were galloping above the clouds.

Lan Ke'er, with blurred eyes, lay on the cold glass and panted heavily. The scenery outside the floor-to-ceiling windows was unobstructed, and it seemed that even pedestrians on the street could see it.

Unlike before, she had begun to fall in love with this extremely stimulating feeling, so even though she said she didn't want to, when Sean really pushed her up, her perky butt moved skillfully and impatiently. It's tilted up.

Unable to be carried back to the sofa, she rested for a while, then thoughtfully leaned down to clean up the man, then walked into the bathroom with a sweet wink.

After a simple wash, she lay softly back in Sean's arms and said with a slight complaint: "Bai You is down there..."

Sean stretched and moved his big hands casually: "You'er can understand his Uncle Xiao."

Lan Keer rolled her eyes at Sean with shame and annoyance, but she was helpless with him.

After Bai You was released from prison, she didn't tell anyone, but just found a place for him to live temporarily. She came over to see him today, but she didn't expect Sean to come to her door on his own - although she was also prepared to watch Bai You after watching Bai You Just go find Sean.

Seeing that the woman still looked a little ashamed, Sean said casually: "Okay, Bai You didn't know when I came. Besides, that boy Bai You is so obsessed with revenge now, how can he care about it... Physiological activities.”

Lan Keer's face turned red, but other words still made her a little worried.

"After I came back, according to what you said, I didn't contact anyone... But interested people should know that I came back with Bai You... Bai You is too obsessed with him. I'm worried that he will contact people secretly, and then he will be contacted by someone who wants to know." use."

Sean blinked: "Don't trust your son, Bai You, there is still something very reassuring."

"What?"

Sean smiled and said nothing.

Bai You's greatest advantage is that he has a strong sense of revenge. He was imprisoned in Black Pigeon Prison for so long, and even scratched Bai Si's name with his fingernails. This desire for revenge means that the two brothers can be reconciled as before. , then Sean was convinced.

As for the riot when he left Black Pigeon Prison, Sean had already told Bai You that it was Bai Zhan's plan.

Among the three brothers of His Royal Highness the Third Prince, the eldest and fourth brothers are already sworn enemies, leaving only the second brother who is rarely in contact. There is no need to worry about that. Moza is with the Second Prince. It is said that he is about to sleep with a Crimson woman under Grand Duke Yuantie. Of course, I don’t know whether it is passive or active.

After a while of being intimate with Lam, the two chatted about some trivial things.

This is considered a daily part. After having sex, there will be nothing to talk about, which helps to deepen the relationship.

"By the way, Bai Si, that kid, apologized to me in person two days ago." When mentioning this, Lam's expression was not very good. After all, she also had mixed emotions towards Bai Si.

He cheated his own brother, and he borrowed his own mother's hand... But this is his own son, and he really can't hate him.

Sean responded casually: "Yeah, what did you say?"

"It's nothing more than being too busy during this period and unable to visit me or something like that..." Lam sighed, "In the end, it was still intentional or unintentional to inquire about the news."

Sean laughed: "What did you say?"

"Of course I said it as you told me," Lam moved her butt so that Sean's hand could touch it more conveniently, "Anyway, His Majesty also asked me to fight Bai Si, so it's just in case His Majesty doesn't see it."

"Oh, by the way," Lam seemed to remember something, "Bai Si also said that if I have time, I can go to Golden Dawn to pray. He specifically told someone that if I go there, there will be some ceremony that will make me sleep more peacefully... I don't have that mind, Golden Dawn has moved so far away now..."

Listening to Lam's complaints, Sean suddenly paused.

Golden Dawn...

He suddenly realized that he didn't seem to care much about the fourth brother and the Golden Dawn below him.

As the only sect recognized by the Empire, the Golden Dawn's status is not high. It was not that Crimson Sean played the Golden Dawn in the palm of his hand.

However, it was later proved that they had no connection with the Self Church, the Hidden Seducer Gaoyi, the Time Sect, etc., so Sean did not take them too seriously.

But now it seems that the "strangers" who can contact ordinary people in large numbers and no one will think it is abnormal are the Golden Dawn, right?

Moreover, if I remember correctly, the location for the construction of the statue of the founder was collected from me, and I was collected from the Golden Dawn...
