"Are you sure?"
Reina nodded towards Jiang Chenchuan. Due to the special nature of the summons, historically, this array has only been used during wars. In addition, the triggering conditions were stringent. The teacher also emphasized in class that this array has been used Banned from use by the Alchemy Society.
The team members arrived immediately, and Jiang Chenchuan was not too anxious to deal with the body. He was just thinking about what he should do if he was the murderer and according to the plan that had not been broken...
Return to normal life,
Wait for the countdown to end.
In other words, the murderer is a member of the circus and will not leave!
The icy cold wind invaded the room through the cracks and poured into the mouth of the leader. Many of the people standing at the door were shivering from the cold. The plan was born from the heart. Jiang Chenchuan strode out, found the worried manager and said:
"Please seal the circus immediately and don't allow anyone to leave. The murderer is here."
The manager looked frightened and agreed repeatedly, but then he realized:
"Wait, who are you? Why should I listen to you? I'm telling you, I want to call the police, I want to call the police!"
At this time, Jiang Chenchuan realized that the museum's identity was not as useful as a police officer's certificate, but now it was too late to mobilize the power of the Public Security Department, and the murderer was likely to escape through the chaos.
Suddenly, a man stood out from the crowd and took out his ID from his arms:
"I am Toler Kress, first-class patrol officer of the Sheriff's Department. Please cooperate with us immediately."
Jiang Chenchuan recognized the young man he had met on the tram at a glance. The Public Security Department had already handed the case over to the museum for processing. Why was he here?
But since the police intervened, the circus naturally had no objections. They gathered all the staff and collected information from those who could not be found.
"strangeness……"
The manager walked around the hall, turned his head and counted again before muttering to himself.
"What's wrong?"
"Ricardo is missing," the manager said with a sad face. "I saw him clearly in the morning, but why was he gone in the blink of an eye?"
"Is Ricardo the only one missing?"
Tollecress asked hurriedly.
"Yes, officer, of course, if I must say it, Kevin Koskolin has not been found..." The manager glanced at the direction of the body and said weakly.
Because of the snow, no one was outside. All the circus members were here, many of them. If the person who died was not Kevin Coscolin, but Ricardo, then the person who died in his place... was found. !
"You are a staff member of the museum, right?"
Toler Kress found Jiang Chenchuan and Lena, and spoke straight to the point as soon as they met, with youthful arrogance and disdain for Jiang Chenchuan's identity.
"Have you seen that in the end, the Sheriff's Department will still need to come forward to deal with it. The people are more willing to believe that we can bring truth and peace to Polnia..."
Reina wanted to say something for Jiang Chenchuan, but Jiang Chenchuan raised his hand to stop him. He was lowering his head and thinking. Everything was going so smoothly, but it was a bit suspicious.
Jiang Chenchuan didn't respond, and Toler Kress didn't say much. He traced it all the way, and it was not easy to find the circus.
Of course, this was all the result of his unremitting efforts. He used his identity as a patrol officer to investigate and visit, and finally got clues that someone saw a clown suit on the tram that day.
"Mr. Police Officer, I suddenly remembered that I arranged for Ricardo to clean the performance venue after noon. Do you want to follow me to find out?"
Halfway through, the manager suddenly burst in, his voice a bit anxious, as if he was worried about something.
As soon as he heard the clue, Toler Kress immediately took action and followed the manager without saying a word. Before leaving, he did not forget to tell Jiang Chenchuan:
"Just watch, it's up to me to solve this case."
Seeing that Jiang Chenchuan ignored him and had nothing to say, he finally calmed down after Toler Kress left. Jiang Chenchuan stood in front of the deceased's door, staring at the frightening blood array, without reacting for a long time.
Yes, it went too smoothly.
It went smoothly as if he had stepped into a hunter's trap. When he forced open the room, the blood was still flowing along the trace drawn on the ground. But now, the blood stains have solidified and dried up. If it were not winter, the body would have already begun to rot and stink.
His professional intuition told him that there are no such coincidence crime scenes in the world.
"Rena, do you know what conditions are needed to activate such a blood array?"
After thinking for a while, Reina shook her head and said: "Time has passed too long, and I am not interested in alchemy. I only remember the teacher said that magic circles like this often need to be activated with the soul."
"soul?"
"Yes, in alchemy, it is also called...the highest equivalent."
It was as if all the points converged into a line, and the most critical step was here. The blood was stirring, and the magic circle under the feet seemed to be affected by some kind of induction, and there was a vague sign of activation.
"That patrolman..."
Reina whispered. She realized that the lines in front of her were not real, and Jiang Chenchuan also had a premonition of something. He turned and rushed out of the corridor. Using the Colosseum as a circle, complex lines lit up on the ground.
"This is...the real magic circle..."
All the awakened people felt that the malice from hell seemed to have a burning sensation, spreading from the other side of the world.
combustion--
Something is burning!
Jiang Chenchuan heard the clown's wild laughter and stood in the center of the Colosseum. All the light beams were focused on him. At this moment, he was the protagonist of the world.
Tolercress was lying at his feet, struggling and covering his neck, but blood continued to pour out.
"Kevin Kosclin!"
Jiang Chenchuan stood in the audience and roared. The clown turned around and tilted his head. His eyes were cold under the mask, staring at Jiang Chenchuan's face, as if he was confirming something.
Then, he took off the clown mask on his face, revealing the familiar face of the person he met on the tram.
The explosion was just an accident, and the summoned formation was the real purpose. The wildly dancing flames loomed in the illusory formation, and the desire was born of burning blood.
"A feast, this is a feast!"
The surrounding scene was distorted. When the magic circle was formed, the fire of hell would be centered on the Colosseum and continue to spread to the surroundings. Tole Kress let out a whimpering cry on the stage. Jiang Chenchuan grabbed his cane and went to Jumping down, the closer he got, the more he could feel the scorching heat, as if it was going to burn his body to death.
"Give up. If you run away like a mouse with your tail between your legs, there is still a glimmer of hope for survival. Or, you can die with the trash on the tram!"
The clown held his belly and laughed, seeming to be laughing at Jiang Chenchuan's recklessness and ignorance. People without strength could not get close to him. Even if he had a relic with him, he would have to pay a price if he wanted to touch him.
There are not so many good things in the world. People who don't know their own abilities often die the fastest.
The blazing flames grew along the pattern of the formation, and the crazy sucking blood caused the corpse to quickly dry up, just like the breath of a dragon's tongue, seeking the final existence from the ancient ritual.
However, a silver edge entwined with the intertwined colors of yellow and green split open the burning barrier, and the arrogant smile instantly solidified. With anger, Jiang Chenchuan passed through the flames that even the god of death would be afraid of, and was reflected in the clown's pupils. middle.
"Then... let's go to hell together!"
