We ran along the sewer, and when I thought that we could catch a murderer ahead, I couldn't help but be...excited.
"Hey! Miss Messiah, don't be so fast!" Selin held my arm tightly, otherwise, I would have surpassed Wendell and caught up with Darien!
"We're at the end!"
"Stand with me! Miss Messiah!"
"I'm not afraid, Selin! Not at all!"
"Oh, he is afraid that you will get in the way!" Wendell, who was walking quickly in front of me with his short legs, suddenly interrupted.
"Oh! I swear I didn't think so!" Selin explained immediately.
At that moment, I really wanted to kick the dwarf in the butt and kick him into the sewage, "Yes! In the way! A sluggish magician!"
Wendell turned back and glared at me. Suddenly, his figure flashed, and the next second, he had appeared ten yards away. While I was looking at him, I almost tripped over the oak barrel in front of me.
Damn it!

The square tiles in the sewer remained unchanged. I didn’t even know how far I had run, but I just felt that my legs were getting heavier and heavier.
Suddenly, someone in front exclaimed, "Oh my God! Look there!"
Everyone stopped suddenly. I stood on tiptoes and looked over the purple guys' shoulders.
The sewer torch here has not been lit yet, and the surroundings are very dark. There is only a little light from the sun shining through the vent, but that beam of light shines on the ground in front, and there is a large pool of dark red blood on the ground!
*
We found another body, to be more precise, it should be some fragmented body parts!
Those stumps seemed to have been torn off from the living body by some huge force. At least half of the calf and the entire arm were still hanging with skin and flesh, and the intestines were scattered all over the floor.
The reason why I was sure it was a human body was because I also saw his head, which was on the steps next to the sewage. His face was covered in blood, and a piece of his scalp was torn off, revealing Bai Sensen's broken skull.
"Oh, hell... vomit." Wendell held the wall and started to vomit again, but this time, he couldn't vomit anything except acidic water.
I subconsciously held my breath and held Selin's arm tightly. However, after experiencing the shocking experience just now, my stomach seemed not as active as last time. At least, I could still peek over there under Serin's worried eyes.
"Oh my god, who on earth did such a thing." Darien muttered with an ugly face, and he walked over slowly. He took off his gloves and recited something silently. Then, a layer of faint golden light covered his hands. After a moment of hesitation, he touched the blood on the ground and said, "It's still hot."
"This hand is cold," said Sadan on the other side, "His! It's shadow magic! Look, the shadow flames in the wound haven't extinguished yet!" As he said that, his hard face revealed Got chilly.
It's shadow magic again.
"These should be the internal organs." Another purple man said, pointing forward with his scaly hand, "That's the heart, this is the lungs, and the spleen is over there."
"Okay, okay, we all saw it." Wendell interrupted harshly. At this moment, the dwarf mage was holding on to the wall, his hands and feet were shaking from vomiting.
"Is he missing some parts?" Sadan asked after carefully looking at the scattered things on the ground for a while.
"Yes, he didn't even have half of it left." Darien put on his gloves again and started recording. Suddenly, he stopped, his eyes full of confusion, "Master Sadan, that arm, yes, it's the one on your hand. Just, I always felt like there was something wrong with it.”
Sadan picked the arm with his fingers and said, "The bones inside are shattered." As he said that, he walked over to the half of the calf and kicked it with the toe of his boot. "Yes, it's also shattered."
"...In other words, the murderer left the shattered limbs and took away the others?" Darian asked, his tone a little confused, "What did he want to do?"
"Who knows what he wants to do." Sadan glanced at him, "Darian, this is your first time seeing this, right? Stop trembling..."
"I'm not trembling, Lord Sadan." Darien protested dissatisfied.
"So, do you remember? The corpse just now looked like this too."
"Huh?...You mean, this person kills people along the way and collects body parts?" Those words made Darien himself couldn't help but open his mouth in surprise, and then, that soft and excessive face actually appeared. His dignity was not suitable for him, "This is something only the most evil heretics, those black mages would do." His voice was a little dry.
For a moment, the entire sewer became dead silent, leaving only the gurgling sound of sewage in the waterway.
"Take care of this place." After a long time, Sadan broke the silence.

At that moment, I suddenly heard Selin take a gentle breath.
"Selin?" I looked up at him in confusion.
"Miss Messiah," the trainee knight did not look at me, but spoke to me in a very low voice, which could hardly be heard unless I listened carefully, "I'm sorry, please let go of my hand."
Looking down, I was shocked to see that I was still holding his arms tightly in my arms. The sight made my cheeks heat up and I immediately let go of him.
It can be seen that Knight Xi's cheeks were not as red as I thought. He lowered his eyes slightly and suddenly walked towards the pool of blood, his soft soles making almost no sound.
"Mr. Selin?" Darien was the first to notice Selin. He looked at the trainee knight in confusion. However, before he could say the next syllable, Selin suddenly passed in front of him. The next second, I saw He pulled out the short sword from Darien's waist, and then, like the fastest lightning, he rushed towards a corner of the sewer ahead!
"Ah!" A scream came from that corner. Of course, that voice was not Selin's, it was a woman's voice! Immediately afterwards, I heard a sharp sound of sharp weapons colliding, and at that dim corner, a black figure suddenly appeared in the air.
It was a slender woman, and she struggled to parry Selin's dagger. She was dressed in black, with messy hair, and a brown mask hanging on her left ear. Wait, her face is not important. What is important is that I saw a scar on her forehead and a knot. Bloody scars!
is her? !
Of course I still remember that just the night before, she hit my throat hard with the handle of the dagger and almost killed me!
At that time, although she was annoyed, although she was surprised, she at least seemed normal. But now, her eyes are crazy, like a frightened child!
"No! No! Don't kill me!" She screamed, her face twisted.
I don’t know if her expression frightened Celin. I could clearly see him startled. At that moment, the woman suddenly pounced forward with all her strength like a predatory lioness, and hit Celin with her elbow. The impact on the injured shoulder made Selin groan and take a step back. Taking advantage of that gap, she screamed and escaped from Selin's suppression. However, she could not escape because the purple guys all rushed around at the first time, and the fastest one among them One by one, they took out the daggers from their waists and struck the woman's temple accurately with the handle of the dagger. There was only a bang, and the woman's body swayed. The next second, Yuan stared with frightened eyes and fell to the ground decisively.
ping
Something rolled out of her belt. When they rolled past the beam of sunlight, they reflected a dazzling light. Then, one of them swirled in the blood, staggered and fell, and the other grunted. It rolled all the way to my feet.
After a pause, I bent down and picked it up. It was a silver coin, with two crossed daggers engraved on one side, and a string of characters, Syndicate, engraved on the other side.
Syndicate?
"She was one of the criminals who attacked Miss Messiah last night." At that moment, I heard Selin's voice. Looking up, I saw him kneeling on one knee next to the unconscious woman, with one hand in his hand. She pressed her shoulders firmly, "I recognize the scar on her head."
"She must know more." Sadan took out the rope from his backpack and tied the woman's hands and feet skillfully, "Bring her back, Lord Antonidas must know how to do it. Speaking of which, How did you see her? Young man? Let us also learn a trick." The latter sentence made the purple guys' eyes suddenly focus on Selin's face.
"Uh..." Selin was stunned for a moment, and then those bright eyes made him scratch his hair helplessly, "...I...I didn't see her, I just felt like there was someone here looking at me."
