Mei Man: I drew Superman during the Great Depression

Chapter 208

New York City Medical Examiner's Office, Parklow Avenue, Manhattan.

As the most 'busy' government agency in New York, the office comes into contact with various accidental or intentional deaths every day.

Naturally, the bodies of the two black men who died in Queens were included.

Near the forensic office, using [Super Perspective] to confirm the busy situation inside, Colin's gaze quickly locked on the target of his trip among the dazzling array of corpses in the office.

After all, the appearance of the two people's deaths is really too special, even among the many corpses in the office, they seem to be quite "stand out from the crowd", with shriveled bodies, one of them is still separated from the head.

Well, this one is the guy mentioned with his head used as a ball.

His eyes lingered on the decapitated corpses for a while, and scanned the busy crowd in the medical examiner's office. Colin thought about how to observe the bodies of these corpses at a closer distance.

Although the ability to unlock can help him collect the evidence he wants without making a fuss, but if he wants to learn more about what happened to these shriveled corpses, Colin feels that he needs to get closer.

Thinking of this, he no longer hesitated, and with the flow of thoughts, his body gradually became transparent from the palm of his hand, and finally disappeared without a trace.

[Stealth] Although the initial performance of this ability is a bit weak, at least it is indeed a very suitable occasion for using it right now.

Especially with [Super Speed], he doesn't have to worry about being discovered.

"... squinting indicates light sensitivity, a slight decrease in respiratory function, and you have crooked mascara on your right eye."

"I woke up in a hurry this morning..."

"And your left eye was left unpainted."

"If this man had lived longer, he would have died of a heart attack."

"You mean he didn't die of a heart attack?"

"No, look at this..."

"Foaming in the lungs, pulmonary edema, I think he was poisoned."

"Wait a minute, what, is this your official diagnosis? This is a homicide!"

"Yes and no, this is my hypothesis. It needs to be confirmed by a toxicological analysis report. It may take three weeks. Of course, this is theoretical. You know that most of the energy of the New York Police Department has been given to those shriveled corpses recently. Attracted, so maybe the time of the report will be later or maybe..."

[Stealth], walk in the forensic office.

[Super Hearing] Start to subconsciously listen to all the sounds in the entire office.

From the forensic conversation, Colin occasionally heard some interesting dialogue.

For example, in the report on a flight attendant in the autopsy room, it was concluded that the other party may have been poisoned.And if Colin's memory is not wrong, an accident just happened at a subway station in New York City this morning. More than 16 people were killed and many were injured. silence.

If the whole accident was not an accident, but a deliberate homicide.

Then the situation will undoubtedly change dramatically.

He thought for a while, but Colin didn't pay too much attention to this murder accident. He just glanced at the female policeman who was in deep thought and the forensic doctor with a calm expression, and then put his attention back on it. Back to the purpose of my trip.

"... What did you find?"

"It's still the same as before, there is no water left in the body, including the internal organs, so the organs are in a state of failure..."

In the autopsy room where the Queens body is located, there are also forensic doctors busy in it.

The huge media attention has put a lot of pressure on the New York City Medical Examiner's Office. For this reason, they had to improve their work efficiency and put down some less important work to examine the bodies of the two victims.

After quietly entering the autopsy room, what Colin saw was a tense dissection process.

I don’t know if it’s because of the shriveled body, the forensic doctor seemed a little bit strenuous during the autopsy. They cut open one of the black’s stomachs with a sharp scalpel and made a judgment by observing the internal organs. The other person took the tool and stretched out his hand Touching the heart organ inside which had shrunk to less than the size of a fist, he shook his head and replied.

"To be honest, if I didn't know the time of death of the victim, I even thought it was a corpse that had been dead for more than half a year. After all, the degree of loss of water and fat and the state of the bones did not seem to have just died. What the dead body can show."

"How on earth did the murderer do that?"

"Perhaps, it was really a vampire as reported by the media?"

"If that's the case, then you expect the New York Police Department to arrest this vampire as soon as possible, otherwise we will continue to stay with these corpses."

"If it's really a vampire, garlic won't work either?"

"Whether it works or not, I have prepared garlic. If you want it, go buy it quickly. I heard that the price of garlic nearby has increased by five or six times compared to before..."

Obviously, not vampires.

[Stealth] Standing by, silently listening to the exchange between the forensic doctors, Colin's eyes fell on the corpse in front of him, and he immediately denied their guess about the vampire.

His eyes narrowed slightly, and with the activation of [Super Vision], everything on the shriveled corpse was clearly presented in Colin's eyes.

Although Ke Lin has always used the ability of [Super Vision] on farsightedness, in fact, this ability includes more than just farsightedness, just like [Super Breath] has the effect of [Frozen Breath], [ Super Vision also has some [Microscopic Vision] abilities, but because [Super Vision] is only at the level of [Black Iron], this ability is not very powerful, and it requires Colin's close-up Only then can it be effective.

This is also one of the reasons why he deliberately used the [Stealth] ability to enter the forensic office for observation.

"This is?"

Through the observation of [microscopic vision], Ke Lin quickly saw some details that forensic doctors overlooked.

Inside the heart of the corpse, there are some fine hair-like lines all over it, which is obviously not a normal situation.

And looking in the direction of these lines, Colin quickly saw a trace left by a tiny strand of hair on the surface of the detached corpse, at an inconspicuous corner of the neck.

On the side, the two forensic doctors were still discussing whether to use garlic or a cross if they encountered a vampire.

On the other side, Ke Lin has already stretched out his hand, and under the effect of [Super Speed], he quietly took this strand of hair in his hand.

The moment it came into contact with the hair, this seemingly normal hair began to show amazing changes. It was tightly wrapped around Colin's fingers, like a living creature that wanted to drill into it. into his body.

However, under the protection of [Super Defense (Bronze)], the hair's attack had no effect, but even so, it still didn't give up, tightly wrapped around Colin's fingers.

The weird scene in front of him made Ke Lin frowned slightly in the [Invisible] state.

He could feel that the power displayed on the hair was extremely weird, and it was different from any one he had come into contact with before.

Although, the power of the hair attack is not enough to break through the defense of Colin's body.

But this is based on the premise that he possesses the [Super Defense (Bronze)] ability. Judging from the weirdness and strength of the hair, ordinary people have no ability to resist as long as they are entangled by it.

……

"Crowing and divination."

Basement of the Holy of Holies, Brick Street, New York.

Doctor Strange exchanged a glance with the dark eyes of the crow statue in the cage, and then explained something to Banner and Carter behind him.

"An ancient and almost lost method of divination, originally developed from bird divination, which I also occasionally discovered from an ancient magical fragment, and combined it with some shamanistic witchcraft and gypsum Sairen's divination method, theoretically speaking, Yaming divination has the ability to predict danger..."

"In theory."

In the basement, after listening to Doctor Strange's explanation, Banner couldn't help muttering.

"Of course, crow divination is an extremely complicated method of divination. It is necessary to judge the predicted danger through the tone, size, and urgency of the crow's call. Even a powerful fortune-teller can know the location of the danger through the call. So as to prevent it from happening.”

"Through the hooting of crows."

Hearing this, Banner's heart tightened, because Doctor Strange and Carter were not there when the sound came from the basement just now.

He was the only one who heard the call at the scene. Doesn't this mean that the subsequent divination methods can't work.

"I just remember that the crow's cry sounded a little hurried, like a quack, quack?"

Thinking of this, Banner frowned and tried to think about the voice he had heard before, licking his lips and trying his best to imitate the Tao.

"Can you divine the meaning of this call?"

After finishing all this, Banner looked at Doctor Strange in front of him and asked expectantly.

"No."

In the basement, Doctor Strange and Banner looked at each other silently, shaking their heads silently.

"Maybe I didn't imitate it enough, the cry just now may sound..."

Seeing this, Banner took a deep breath, and when he was about to imitate it again, he saw that Doctor Strange had taken out a tape recorder from under the cage with the crow statue in front of him, and pressed the pause button inside.

"..."

Seeing this scene, Banner's expression froze in an instant.

Immediately afterwards, the shrill cry of a crow came from the tape recorder.

"You already had the radio ready?"

After a long while, Banner opened his mouth and said with an embarrassed look on his face.

"Although I study magic, it doesn't mean that I am a primitive person who lived in the last century. I am much more skilled than you in the use of modern technology. Before I came into contact with magic, I was a very famous surgeon. "

To this, Doctor Strange replied calmly.

Just because of the voice in his head, he discovered part of the truth of the world and gave up his career to practice magic power. This does not mean that he completely gave up life in modern society.

Although the situation in front of him was a bit embarrassing for Banner, Doctor Strange in the basement didn't care about it, and he focused more on the crow's chirping in the recorder.

Through judging the sound of the tweet, Stephen waved a spell in thought, and soon in another room of the Holy of Holies, a clone formed in the shape of Aikon appeared, and he carefully took out a book that looked very broken. Flip through the sheepskin books, and compare the contents of the crow's voice.

"..."

In this way, under the gaze of Banner and Carter, there was a total silence of five or six minutes.

Only then did Doctor Strange withdraw the energy he put on his clone, and took a deep breath.

"Looks like voodoo revenge."

According to the content of divination, Stephen concluded that the danger comes from voodoo.

"Baron Saturday's revenge is faster than I thought. Doesn't he have other things?"

He said casually, Doctor Strange completely forgot that he also used tricks in the seance ceremony.

Although he said so, in the face of the revenge of a god, Stephen also did not dare to be careless in the slightest. Even if Voodoo is only a local religion, Baron Saturday is only a local god, but for mortals, the power of gods is always scary and dangerous.

"At present, judging from the cry of crows and divination, the enemy is closer to us than expected, but fortunately, through divination, we have already known the danger is coming, and at the same time, we have obtained clues about the existence of the opponent..."

"The crow chirps to tell the Lord, the chirping is quick and sharp, and at the same time, there is a little gloom in the chirping, which indicates that clues related to it can be found from the death. I searched the latest news in New York City and found that There are a few cases that fit exactly with the results of the divination."

In the basement, looking at Doctor Strange talking in front of them, Banner and Carter glanced at each other, and couldn't help but said, "Just these two crows chirping, how did you divination so much?"

Obviously, from the radio, there are only two calls back and forth.

However, Doctor Strange has divined a lot of content, and Banner really can't imagine what kind of process it went through to be able to do it.

"I can only say that the power of divination is more mysterious than you imagine."

In this regard, Doctor Strange did not explain too much.

Most of his divination content is translated from the "Crow's Calling Divination" recorded on the parchment. As for why he explained it in this way, even he himself is not very clear. The result is this.

Of course, it was impossible for Doctor Strange to answer that way, he just looked at Banner with an inscrutable expression on his face and replied.

　Thanks to Xingxian for the 1500 starting point reward.
