Chapter 44: Necromancer

After a while. ₆₉ₛₕᵤₓ.cₒₘ

The three little squirrels were neatly placed in a row by Lu Ran and his friends, trembling.

"Don't be afraid, I'm a good person."

"As long as you answer a few questions for me, I'll let you go."

Lu Ran looked at the three little squirrels kindly.

"Woof!" "Wow!" President Ha and King of Death nodded.

Although I don't know why Lu Ran wants to catch these three guys, Lu Ran is indeed a "good person".

I hope these three little squirrels will be more sensible.

It must be said that telepathy is convenient.

Lu Ran conveyed his meaning very clearly.

After understanding, the three little squirrels nodded frantically.

"What were you talking about just now?" Lu Ran asked.

The three little squirrels looked at each other, and the one in the middle started to coo.

[Yesterday, two people fought on the mountain. 】

"Two people are fighting on the mountain, and they are commanding monster-like creatures?" Lu Ran asked.

The little squirrel nodded immediately.

"Two beast masters?" Lu Ran was slightly stunned.

However, how could two beast masters have the time to fight in such a place.

"Then what?" Lu Ran asked.

[One died and was buried. ]

[The other one left. ]

Lu Ran:? ?

"Fuck." Lu Ran opened his eyes suddenly.

He originally thought that the cannibalism mentioned by the squirrel was just a metaphor, simply referring to fighting.

In the end, did they really kill people?

"What kind of creatures do they command?" Lu Ran continued to ask.

[Dead, cat...]

[The other one, I don't know, it's scary. ]

"Do you remember where the fight took place? Take me to see it." Lu Ran said.

The three little squirrels looked at each other again, very resistant, but because they were too afraid of Lu Ran, they nodded.

A moment later, Lu Ran was taken to the place where the fight took place yesterday.

As soon as they arrived here, Lu Ran and Mr. Ha smelled the lingering smell of blood.

Looking at the pile of earth that was only buried perfunctorily and clearly showed signs of burial, Lu Ran's heart started beating rapidly again.

Damn, what's going on.

Although he has a strong suppression power over animals, he still has the mentality of an ordinary high school student when facing things like murder and death.

Encountering such a thing, Lu Ran froze in place for a while, and was a little unsure about what to do.

A beastmaster was killed and his body was thrown into the wild!

Judging from the scene, the beastmaster who killed people did not look like an official beastmaster.

Otherwise, the handling of the body would not be so casual.

So, is it a vicious murder?

What should I do?

Call the police?

Will it cause trouble?

But if I don't call the police, if the murderer is a habitual offender and is not caught as soon as possible, will more people be killed?

"Damn squirrel, it made me hear this kind of thing. I'll remember this grudge."

Boss Ha, squirrels:? ?

After thinking for a while, Lu Ran took a deep breath and decided to contact the official.

There was no way. This was the education he had received since childhood. Lu Ran couldn't ignore this kind of thing in his heart.

When he was a child, he liked to learn swordsmanship because he wanted to be a knight who saw injustice and drew his sword to help.

Even if he threw this dream to Boss Ha now... But he should at least set an example for it!

"Let's find Xiao Bailong." Lu Ran thought about it and found that he could only contact him.

He should have a way to contact the official beastmaster of Jinling City.

Not long after, Xiao Bailong answered the phone.

After receiving Lu Ran's call, Xiao Bailong was quite happy. He said, "You, Xiaolu, I haven't contacted you for a long time."

"Let me guess, do you want me to help you solve the problem in school? High school is about to start, right?"

"No... I found a buried body in the wild in the mountains. My boss Ha has a keen sense of smell and judged that the buried body is a beastmaster and an extraordinary pet..."

Xiao Bailong:? ?

"Fuck." Xiao Bailong also said fuck. The last time Lu Ran contacted him, he found a fugitive tiger. This time he contacted him and found the body of a beastmaster?

This kid, why are you so busy.

What are you doing all day!

"Where are you? Still in Green Sea City?" Xiao Bailong asked hurriedly with a serious expression.

A beastmaster was strangely buried in the wild, this is not a trivial matter!

"No, I'm in Jinling City now."

"Jinling? That's easy!" Xiao Bailong said, "My former boss has been transferred to the Beast Taming Building in Jinling. I'll give him your contact information."

"Now the public security of each province has been managed separately. I'm in the Magic City and don't know much about it."

"Okay." Lu Ran nodded.

Then, Xiao Bailong hung up the call with Lu Ran and contacted his old boss.

The call was still connected quickly.

"Team Zhao!"

"Bai Junjie? What's the matter? We just separated for a few days. What's the matter?"

"Do you still remember that Lu Ran Passerby A, whose ancestors have been related to animals for 18 generations, and the new beastmaster favored by Dr. Gu?"

"Remember! How could I not remember! This time I was transferred to Jinling to work, and I'm closer to him. Maybe I'll have a chance to meet him in the future."

"He's in Jinling now..." Xiao Bailong quickly described what Lu Ran encountered to his old boss.

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, and someone said anxiously: "Xiao Bai, please give me his contact information quickly, it's urgent."

…

The three parties made the handover very quickly.

"Is this classmate Lu Ran? I'm Xiao Bailong's boss, Zhao Chen. Xiao Bailong has told me where you are now?"

"I'm..." Lu Ran quickly told the other party the address.

"Classmate Lu Ran, thank you for your report. This incident is very likely related to a case we are investigating. We will rush there immediately. Be careful over there."

After hanging up the phone, Lu Ran sighed slightly and looked at the burial traces again. The matter was indeed not simple.

The case that the official beastmaster is investigating... So, the murderer may have entered the official sight a long time ago? !

"You can go." At this time, Lu Ran looked at the three little squirrels. They were no longer useful, so he planned to drive them away.

"Gugu..." The three little squirrels cried with joy and turned around and ran away.

And Lu Ran, with Mr. Ha and the others, continued to wait in the same place.

Lu Ran did not dare to dig up the body, for fear of destroying the crime scene.

It was definitely not because he did not dare.

[It's so scary, there are dead people, I'm going to die suddenly...] The King of Sudden Death was very excited throughout the whole process.

As for President Ha, this guy... He is fearless and is looking up at the sky, wondering what he is thinking.

The official beastmasters in Jinling City were dispatched very quickly, and there were not as many people as Lu Ran imagined. After more than ten minutes, only two people came here.

Among them, a middle-aged man and a young man.

After they arrived, they immediately looked at Lu Ran. The middle-aged man said: "Student Lu, I just contacted you. Is this the place?"

"Yes." Lu Ran nodded.

Zhao Chen looked at the burial site with a solemn expression.

"Xiao Wang, this is for you. I will take Student Lu away first."

"Okay." The young man made an OK gesture.

"Student Lu, please come back to the city with me first. Let the professionals handle this." Zhao Chen said.

"Yeah." Lu Ran felt that Xiao Bailong's old boss should feel that he was a student and was not suitable for seeing the scene of digging corpses, so he wanted to take him away first.

Lu Ran had no interest in the first place, so he called out to Mr. Ha and the lizard lying on him and said, "Then let's go."

Don't eat the Sudden Death King either.

This place... has bad feng shui.

Soon, Lu Ran and the others went down the mountain.

During this period, Zhao Chen asked Lu Ran about the incident in more detail.

Lu Ran naturally couldn't say that he heard it from the squirrel, so he exaggerated it and made it up.

From coming to Jinling City to why he went up the mountain, he explained everything clearly.

"You are so lucky that you actually used the awakening leaf to evolve a reptile with good qualifications!"

Looking at the Sudden Death King on Mr. Ha, Zhao Chen couldn't help but say that he was worthy of being the newcomer that Dr. Gu had chosen, and worthy of being the Nth generation of the Royal Family whose ancestors had been related to animals for eighteen generations.

At this time, Zhao Chen answered the phone again.

"Is it him?" Zhao Chen asked.

"That's right, Tao Hua, a freshman at Jinling Normal University, has just become a beastmaster. His roommate reported last night that he went to the wild to level up, but he disappeared all night. His friend who is also a beastmaster found that his ID card was cancelled and he couldn't contact him in Infinite City." The other side of the phone said.

"Now it seems that he was indeed killed. One person and one pet, both are dead."

"Then call someone to deal with the body and contact the family. I'll go to the headquarters to see if I can find some powerful external help to solve this matter as soon as possible." Zhao Chen sighed and then hung up the phone.

"Uncle Zhao, what is this case." In order to get closer to Lu Ran, Zhao Chen directly asked Lu Ran to call him Uncle Zhao.

At this time, although Lu Ran was not interested in the body, he was still quite interested in the case.

Facing Lu Ran's inquiry, Zhao Chen smiled bitterly and said, "You came to Jinling at a really bad time. It's not peaceful here recently."

"You just became a beastmaster not long ago, so you may not know that there is a mysterious organization in the world called 'The Other Shore'. They have a special skill that can be upgraded by hunting other beastmasters and pets."

"The members of the Other Shore are all over the world. It is an international criminal organization."

"With the arrival of the fourth batch of beastmasters, they have been particularly active recently. I just transferred to Jinling and noticed traces of the Other Shore."

"If I'm not wrong, that person was killed by members of the Other Shore."

"You can upgrade by killing beastmasters and pets? How can there be such a skill?" Lu Ran was shocked. Why hadn't he heard of it before?

Becoming a beastmaster, is there still such a danger?

Even if you don't enter a dangerous secret realm, you may still be targeted?

You can't kill monsters in the secret realm to upgrade... Beastmasters can actually do it?

On Mr. Ha, the King of Sudden Death widened his eyes and felt that the world was so dangerous.

"Woof!" Mr. Ha was speechless. Stop shaking.

"Don't worry. The base camp of the other shore is abroad. The domestic ones are basically small fish and shrimps. They will be defeated immediately after they appear. They will not be given the opportunity to form a force in Xia!" Zhao Chen said.

"But this group of people are very good at hiding, and they are indeed difficult to deal with. If you meet them in the future, it is better to find an opportunity to run away immediately. Use the identity card to quickly escape to Infinite City."

"The newcomer may have no experience in dealing with the "dead spirit", so he failed to escape in time and his soul was devoured."

"Dead spirit, soul?" Lu Ran was lost.

Zhao Chen explained: "It is not accurate to call the members of the other side beast masters. They have mastered a special skill. They will kill their contracted pets and transform them into undead slaves. They hunt other beast masters and pets to upgrade themselves by devouring the souls of other extraordinary lives."

"Therefore, internationally, they are more often called necromancers than beast masters."
