Chapter 99 The Victim

The night wind blows, and the sweet and fishy smell seems a little abrupt in the warm air.

There are open spaces covered with broken walls and ruins nearby. After the abandoned houses were demolished, they were left with the remains of construction waste piles. I heard that there were plans to reuse them, but after they were abolished for some reason, the place became a ruin of the rebirth of weeds.

As you look over the ruins, you can vaguely glimpse the cafe on the street and the Slotte restaurant decorated with red, green and white colored ribbons. A lively bar is decorated with small colorful lights on colorful boards, and you can see it shaking in the wind from afar.

The street is full of people and a peaceful daily scenery, but in a corner of such a peaceful street, there is a large area of ​​waste piles. People living nearby are used to these wastes, and no one expected that there would be dead in this pile of garbage.

There was no lighting in the waste pile, so I could only use the lights in the distance to barely see the terrain. The body was lying in a pit on the shady back, and Curt didn't even see him there at first. If the dense smell of blood in the air pointed out the direction, Curt might have to search here for a while.

He moved on the ground with one foot deep and one foot shallow. In order to facilitate observation, Curt had to release a simple night vision spell to himself. The vision of the black and white color blurred reveals the things hidden in the darkness. A Slotte lying on his back.

This is the source of the smell that Curt smelled, a man in his thirties. When Curt flipped over the trash dump and found the guy, he had no longer breathed. Only the thick smell was heard along with the buzzing of insects.

The warm environment of summer nights is a paradise for insects. Fresh corpses have attracted a large number of small insects, and no matter how they are driven away, they cannot be driven away from the dead.

The body was seriously damaged. When seeing the tragic situation of this corpse, anyone might feel that "Is the murderer bored because of his habit of killing people?" - otherwise how could he use such a method to dress the body in such a weird posture?

Several clusters of thorns extend from the brick and stone rubble that covers the ground, like vines, and the surface is filled with many sharp thorns that look like thorns. This wonderful plant wraps around the limbs of the dead, leaving many irregular scars. Blood flows out of the wound and spreads on the surrounding ground.

This is an obvious product of spells. The vines that absorbed fresh blood have grown excessively and become thick and tough, firmly fixing the body of the dead. Some sharp and slender spikes are deeply embedded in the body. The man must have struggled quite violently when they grow.

The result of this struggle was that his limbs were covered with scars. The more intense the struggle was, the stronger the Tenman who tied him. His struggle broke a lot of plants, but the magic he kept investing made the vines reborn countless times, almost submerging his limbs in the clusters of plants.

He was like those suffering sages in ancient times, his body was tied into a big "X" shape by these crazy plants, and the blood shed was deliberately lengthened and turned into a star pattern of a cross. The body of this Slott man seemed to have become a residue of some kind of religious sacrifice.

Another victim, I don’t know what it is to offer.

This is not the first time. Perhaps not many people know this fact, but every now and then, some Slots will appear on the streets with such a weird way of death. Like those people, he had a large gap on his body that had just died, and his inner organs were dragged out.

The first time he discovered such a weird body was at the end of an alley in the old town, he was also placed in a strange shape by the same technique. Perhaps as a symbol of the first, he was taken away from his head, and blood spurted out from his empty neck dyed a scarlet rose on the street.

Immediately after him, some of the lonely Slots were attacked one after another. Their targets seemed not limited to gang members, and even restaurant waiters and bank staff who were completely inseparable from underground forces were attacked, with the same way of death.

The first person has less head, the second person has less left arm, the third person has less right leg, the fourth person, the fifth person... There is always a part of everyone's body being plundered unreasonably by the perpetrators. And at the position of their wounds, the overflowing blood will always be drawn with clumsy techniques to draw strange patterns. Roses, wings, insect feet, etc., the red blood becomes his pigment, and the road becomes his drawing board.

Perhaps the perpetrator wanted to use this to declare to the world that he was not an ordinary murderer, but an artist who was free from low-level interests.

How crazy!

The body of the deceased is still intact now - at least there is no missing arms or legs. The plundered is not the main limb, it should be something else. Looking at the shocking wound on his torso, it may be able to explain what part of his body is missing.

The gap was cut from his chest and extended to his abdomen, and the dirty internal organs were clearly exposed to the air. This behavior may have been performed when he was still alive, so the man was so painful. He glared wide and let out his last shout to the sky with great force.

But it is certain that his shouting did not successfully reach the surroundings. In addition to spells, there are too many ways to prevent a person from making a sound. His mouth was not piled up, but a weak flower was poked out of his mouth. But this flower grew directly in his throat.

If it were not for some kind of faith or magic ritual, this behavior would be too cruel. No, even for such a ritual, this kind of ritual is cruel and should be despised. The development of civilization should completely eliminate the act of sacrifice of living people.

After carefully checking the gap, I have to admire the excellent skills. This is a fine cutting that an excellent doctor may not be able to do, cruel and precise - even elegant is not an exaggeration. The incision is smooth and neat, and only by repeating the same behavior countless times can you achieve such skills.

The man was like a fish dissected by the most skilled butcher on the market. His internal organs were knocked out in one breath, showing a wet texture in the darkness. Every Slot who was killed by such a wonderful method had fewer internal organs, and undoubtedly the man was also tragically injured.

The person who created this victim was already announced by himself. The blue dye painted an unpleasant eye-like pattern on the forehead of the deceased, and the clumsy brushwork revealed weird madness. This was exactly the same as the "eyes" of the men in black in the image provided by Aurodin. If it were not for the intention of others to blame, it would mean that the organization was announcing its existence in this way.

Curt had never heard of this kind of religious existence in the empire that uses weird rituals as offerings. Even if the empire is a secular country, and without setting up state religion, citizens are allowed to have their own beliefs, they will not tolerate such organizational organizations that use people as offerings and perform rituals.

Taboo things have been obviously forbidden to contact people, but things covered under this ban may be full of attraction. People—or other intelligent races—are basically some creatures that will act faithfully in desires. Even if they are forbidden, they cannot completely cut off the existence of certain things.

As a result, many heretics appeared - praising freedom in the feudal autocratic era, poaching in forests that prohibit hunting, smuggling in areas that restrict commercial restrictions... and certain acts of harming others and benefiting oneself. Taboos are precisely because of such a unique attraction that they become "taboos".

The belief in monsters—or the primitive religions that take the sacrifice of living people for granted, still exist now, and the dawn of civilization has not yet fully illuminated the world. And even in a country that should have become "civilized", there will still be barbaric behaviors made by one's own interests.

In the past...at least before this incident happened, have these people been doing their best for a long time?

Thinking about it now, it is no wonder that Slott people would call this group "blue-eyed bastards" and they themselves have declared their identity to their targets.

It's so crazy...what exactly does this organization do?

Without concealing his existence, he carried out sabotage activities in a blatant manner. In just a few months, he had provoked both the Slots and the Katris Academy. If not unexpectedly, Grosted and the others should have noticed the activities of this strange organization in Katris.

Are they crazy... provoking these groups in one breath. Such behavior almost declared war on the existing forces living in Catris. Without any division, they almost touched the nerves of most groups - the government associated with the guards, the underground forces associated with the Slots, and theoretically, Cruz François, the strongest single-player combat power of the Dominion, and the academy under his management.

There is no doubt that the energy of these forces united to shake the Dominion. Even madmen would not want to be enemies with this behemoth at once. But this "blue eyes" is so crazy that he has declared war on them all with actual behavior.

Do they really think they can beat it?

Curt shook his head and denied the thought that flashed in his mind for a moment - his reason told him that the idea was too crazy. Unless the crazy group planned something that really wanted to subvert the order of the entire domination, they were unlikely to attack the union head-on.

But there was a small voice in his heart telling him: If you are not afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of if you are. In order to prevent the other party from having such a plan, it is better to prepare early.
