"Puff!"

"Puff!"

The feeling of blood splattering onto his face was hot. In the gorgeous hall, surrounded by marble pillars, a beautiful woman who was running away outside with a half-aged child was penetrated by two knights behind her with long swords through her chest.

The child was taken away, and the woman fell in a pool of blood and struggled constantly, stretching her hands towards the child, with painful struggles and despair in her eyes, and blood was still oozing from her mouth, and she kept holding the knight's legs and crawling up.

"Give me my child back, my child, my Adenos, and...I..."

"Puchi!" The soldier raised his sword and stabbed downwards.

"Ah!" Adenos Monal woke up from his dream again. Even though his body, which had been integrated into the blood of the corpse ghost, stopped sweating, his whole body was still trembling with excitement, holding his head tightly.

I don't know how many times I dreamed of midnight, and I would see this horrifying scene. My mother, who was killed by her father because of domestic power disputes, was that stupid and simple woman who never knew the darkness of this world until her death, and she had never seen through her cold-blooded father. The Monal family had never had family affection.

It was also from that day that Adenos had never really fallen asleep. Everyone thought that he was young and did not remember what happened that year, including his father, but Adenos always remembered it, never forgot it, and never dared to forget it for a moment, but with his power, he could not do anything until one day he learned about the existence of the wizard. Adenos applied for external commissioning to the king, and then tried every means to enter the wizard tower and gain the power of the wizard.

"It's here, it's here, it's here soon, that day is here soon."

"I want to cleanse all the sins in this world, and to ask all of you to atone for your sins."

Adenos was muttering, as if comforting himself, as if he was going crazy, crying and laughing, as if he had lost his mind, and it took him a long time to calm down—

At dawn, it was just dawn. A young man who was about eighteen or nineteen years old and had no beard even grew, followed the footsteps of the city guard and quickly headed to the corner of the flower alley in the East Street. At this moment, there were many onlookers gathered there, and everyone was talking.

"One more died, and he was bitten to death."

"It's so scary. A big piece of meat on his face disappeared. What kind of monster is it? It actually eats people?"

"It's not a beast that ran into the city, right?"

"These city guards are also useless. After so many days, they have not even found out what they are. There are fifteen dead, and people die every one or two days. This is so scary."

"It's probably not a beast!"

"What is that?"

"Who knows? But I heard from others that it is..."

While everyone was watching the fun, they were also panicking. Many gorgeously dressed women directly covered their eyes and did not dare to look at the corpse in the dark alley. The face and neck of the corpse had large pieces of flesh and blood, revealing the muscle tissue and thick bones inside. It looked extremely terrifying. When they looked closer, they could see the teeth marks left on it.

"Get out of the way, everyone is not allowed to gather here, leave quickly and go home." The captain of the city guard squeezed out the crowd. He was wearing a sleeveless top with a Babs diamond-shaped badge pattern. He was wearing a chain mail inside, a pair of black pants and boots on his lower body, and a long sword on his waist. He looked quite heroic, but the other guards behind him looked careless.

There has been no war in Babs City for many years. Most of these people are merchants and nobles in the city. Their daily tasks are to scratch and catch thieves. They are extremely terrifying to catch murderers, and few people often train them.

"What's the use of seeing? I haven't found anything yet. They're all a bunch of borers!"

"Yes, I'm so good when I collect taxes. Now I need them. Even a pig is more useful than them."

"I think we need a new City Guard Captain."

"Yes, let him get out and change to someone who can do it."

The city guard's power did not bring back the city's people. Instead, he cursed. Most of the people living near the East Street were rich merchants and some down-and-out nobles. Although they were not considered high-level figures, there were countless such figures in the capital of the Mara Kingdom of Babs, but in their opinion, a captain of the city guard had no deterrence.

Since more than a month ago, people have been missing and dead in the city. No one cared about it at the beginning. After all, Babs is not a paradise on earth. It is a large number of commercial and trade capitals. Under the prosperous and luxurious lights and shadows, there are a large number of dark transactions and dirty things hidden. Various people who are mixed up at the bottom, as well as the chaotic slums in the city. It is very normal for some people to disappear and die.

However, when a human body that had been eaten half appeared, it immediately caused a sensation in the whole city. People cannibalism, which immediately reminded people of some bad things. Moreover, there was such a man-eating monster who was unknown to shuttle through the city, but could not find them, which made people in the city panic.

As time goes by, the number of dead people continues to increase, and this panic and depression continues to accumulate and spread. Especially with so many people dead, the city guards have done nothing yet, and everyone's life safety is threatened. In the middle of the night, the nightlife, which was originally bright and wine, is basically gone now. Most people dare not even go out at night.

The captain of the city guard was anxious and sweating: "Ten days, I promise to give you an explanation within ten days."

After explaining for a long time, the crowd gathered finally dispersed. However, the city guard captain Tucker knew that if he could no longer catch the murderer, he would be unable to sit firmly. Many adults, even the king, heard of this. Because of this, the business of many gambling houses, brothels and other places in the city was greatly affected. These classes were the money bags of the great nobles.

His boss also ordered him to solve the matter immediately and restore order, otherwise he would really be like what he said in ten days, and he would really be bedding and leaving.

Tucker looked anxiously at the boy beside him: "Mr. Edward, you promised me that you will definitely find out the truth within ten days."

Edward nodded: "I promise, but you must do your best to help me. Of course, the credit is yours. I only want the truth."

Edward was the boy who came with the City Guard and also Boll's youngest student. He set out a month ago, but he was delayed on the way because of some things and arrived here recently. The first person he came to find was Tucker, who was already in a hurry, assured him that he could help him crack this series of events.

Of course Tucker would not believe him, but after a series of clues and results he had revealed, Tucker still invited him to investigate the scene skeptically.

Edward examined the body: "The cause of death is that the trachea was bitten off. Look at the teeth mark, it is similar to human teeth marks."

Edward smelled the wound and frowned: "Be careful, the corpse is poisonous. I don't know what poison it is, nor do I understand the way of poisoning and transmission. Be careful when approaching the corpse."

Tucker and the soldiers on the side immediately changed their faces: "What? Poisonous?"

They have cleaned up the corpses these days, and they didn't pay much attention to them before. When they think about it, their faces turned pale. When they think of these dead people, they all died strangely. Tucker immediately said, "What kind of poison is this? We won't be poisoned, are we?"

Edward glanced at them and swept his mind: "It's okay, it shouldn't be a type that is transmitted through contact, it may be transmitted by blood and body fluids. If you say so, the biting existence also carries toxins."

Tucker immediately said: "Didn't you say before that it was human tooth marks? It was humans who killed these people."

Edward nodded: "It's similar to humans. I didn't say humans, but it seems that this is not an ordinary event. We need to be careful."

Edward checked the ground and frowned immediately. Many places on the scene were destroyed, and footprints were everywhere. There was no analysis of anything at all. He could only sigh and stood up: "Where is the first witness?"

The first person to discover here was the owner of a nearby flower shop. At this moment, she seemed to be a little shocked. She found the corpse in the alley before dawn in the morning when she opened a shop to sweep the floor. It was around 5 a.m., and there was no one nearby. Edward continued to ask, but he didn't ask anything. At that time, the owner was a little scared and didn't pay attention to anything.

When the investigation was completed, it was already noon. Edward stood up and turned to leave. Tucker was also moved by Edward's series of analysis and believed that Edward could really help him solve the case. If this time could be solved, Tucker would become famous throughout Babs City. Needless to say, he would have a chance to move upward.

This made Tucker immediately enthusiastic about Edward: "How to deal with this corpse?"

Edward immediately said, "Where were the corpses before? I need to go over and take a look!"

Tucker immediately said: "In the cemetery outside the city, there is no guardian by Old Jock, he is an old gravekeeper."

After saying that, Tucker immediately said to the other soldiers: "You guys carry the bodies and send them to Old Jock."

Edward put away his equipment, turned around and walked out of the city with Tucker. After passing the corner in front, he suddenly found something, stopped, squatted down and looked at the ground. Tucker immediately stopped in confusion: "What's wrong?"

Edward pointed to the floor on the ground and tapped it, and immediately found that there was an empty sound below: "These floors have been turned up, what is the place below?"

Tucker immediately looked at the slate. It was relatively large and different from the ones nearby: "Oh, this is the entrance to the sewer."
