It's also fun to travel through the underground tunnels at night because they are filled with a lot of water ghosts.
But there is a demon hunter here, Xie Yuan himself, and even Dr. Gratz, an ordinary person, has a crossbow in his hand. Therefore, although there are water ghosts blocking the road, they are actually just some entertainment while traveling.
Dr. Graz told the two of them part of his past. He was used to seeing too much injustice, and he once tried to take the initiative to punish Xiaoxiao to complete preventive medicine.
The tunnel was not particularly long, and soon they reached the bottom of the morgue, opened the secret door, and then the three of them climbed out one after another. Using the candlelight and the tags on the feet of the corpse lying on the bed, the three of them found the poor dwarf.
Since the coroner had not yet performed a thoracotomy and autopsy, Xie Yuan also wanted to see the skills of surgeons in this era, so Dr. Gratz performed the surgery.
The body of the dwarf is only about 1.3 to 1.2 meters, but the other body structure is the same as that of ordinary people. The dwarf in front of him has his eyes peeled off and his mouth has been filled with formalin... In fact, this thing is still in this era. Belongs to something new.
There was a deep, but not fatal, precision wound in his throat. The murderer wanted to wait for him to be bled to death, and something spherical was stuffed into his mouth. Geralt judged that it was a burned salamander egg... ...Why does riding a horse look so much like the plot of The Silence of the Lambs?
This dwarf is a craftsman, so his hands and feet have injuries from being smashed and scratched while working.
However, after lifting the white cloth covering the body, the scene in front of me was indeed very eye-catching... This male dwarf actually had a sexually transmitted disease!
Isn’t it true that in the traditional setting, male dwarves are only interested in female dwarves?
But this also means that this voluptuous dwarf has many humanistic contradictions, but the salamander egg taken out from his throat serves to highlight one thing in disguise - this matter has nothing to do with the Church of Eternal Fire.
Geralt wanted to know the name of the dwarf, but before Dr. Gratz could say anything, a voice suddenly came out: "Fabian Meyer."
The three of them turned around and saw a handsome middle-aged man with shoulder-length hair and a beard suddenly came in front of them from behind.
He introduced himself as Hubert Reillac, and that he was particularly familiar with Joachim, but was dissatisfied with him for completing his work ahead of schedule.
But the problem is that Hubert Reillac was actually the teacher of Dr. Joachim Graz when he was young...and Dr. Graz is already an octogenarian, but Hubert is still a middle-aged man!
Of course, Director Gratz doesn't know why he has never deeply doubted this... maybe he didn't dare to doubt it?
Xie Yuan had the same rude expression as Geralt, although he already understood from his spiritual perception that the Hubert in front of him was the "passer-by" he had just dealt with, that is to say, this Hubert coroner Playing a "serial killer" game.
But it's a pity that although Geralt is thick-skinned and should not be afraid of such a powerful monster, there is Dr. Gratz here. You can't say that you just ignore the lives of ordinary people, right?
Xie Yuan had no choice but to "pretend to be stupid" and followed Geralt for a while, and then met another priest named Nathaniel. This was another trash a hundred times more annoying than Hubert, with a perverse personality and... There are many names.
Hubert helped the three of them smooth things over. This guy was indeed an absolute scum in the Eternal Fire. He was so ignorant that the person who died on the bed was a dwarf, but he actually turned a blind eye to three human relatives.
Of course, everyone must do their part at this moment. When Hubert sent everyone out, he actually encouraged the three of them to try their best to find the real culprit who committed these vicious incidents... If Xie Yuan hadn't noticed it long ago If you tell Hubert the truth, I will be really moved.
After leaving the morgue, everyone split up - after all, Dr. Gratz is also an older doctor, not a warrior who is proficient in martial arts and physically strong.
Xie Yuan suggested that Geralt inquire about the clues he found - the scene where Pucilla was attacked; the dwarf carpenter's home, which was also the scene of his murder; and finally, a large number of corpses had to be processed and transported out of Novigrad every day. The body collector outside.
Geralt asked Xie Yuan what he was doing.
Xie Yuan smiled softly and told Geralt to see if he could find a place to ambush a powerful enemy.
Looking at the incomprehensible demon hunter, Xie Yuan did not explain too much. After all, he did not want to share the powerful prey he had just spotted - this guy may be very strong, but he definitely does not have the concept of unlimited limits like the Mirror Master. use.
The time control method makes him directly invincible in many aspects. Fortunately, the current Hubert definitely does not have this ability - otherwise he would have been suffocated to death by his extraordinary ability.
This Hubert can stay young forever and has a strong recovery ability, but he behaves very "elegantly" without the slightest irritability...A werewolf, or a vampire, the possibility of being a vampire is greater, and werewolves have The dog stinks... or it's probably a vampire.
According to Geralt's introduction, there is a race of vampires in this world, but it is different from the origin of the curse or the formation of blood. The local vampires are really a group with life and inheritance.
They are powerful and have long lives. They like to suck blood, but are not completely controlled by blood. They don't like daylight very much, but they are not too allergic to sunlight - this is a living magical race.
But vampires are not completely without weaknesses. They can still be hurt by silver objects, and they hate garlic... although garlic will not harm the vampire itself; and it may be killed, which is the important point.
Because unlike the world's prejudice that vampires are easy to kill, within the school of professional monster killers and demon hunters, they know that vampires are difficult to kill. Even in their monster hunting notes, there are always very few anecdotes about vampires - because almost no demon hunters who are hostile to vampires survive.
This is indeed the most mysterious race in the world besides the dragon race.
Today, Xie Yuan wanted to try something new and have a chance to encounter this mysterious, suspected vampire creature that was blown up to the sky!
Once you have a target, it is actually very easy to use some means to defeat him on his inevitable path.
As it happens, formalin is still a high-end, novel, expensive and rare chemical. It is not surprising that it is liquid gold. No one in Novigrad can even afford it.
Coroner Hubert is the buyer of this stuff in the city - he has the largest usage volume in the city, and recently, a new batch of formalin has just arrived.
The purpose was already clear, and the next step was to wait for him in the warehouse to see if the opportunity would arise.
