Todd's heart tightened in an instant, and he thought of the scene that day.

"No, don't stop, don't turn the corner, keep going, my good girl, please, go!"

-

A strange singing came out from the narrow alley, comparable to the siren's singing voice, ethereal and full of indescribable charm.

Aisha was attracted at once, even Todd, as a bystander, was obsessed with it at this moment.

He turned his head following her, looked towards the narrow alley, and walked over involuntarily.

"call--"

"No, go! Go away!" Todd finally came to his senses, and an uncontrollable panic welled up in his heart. He shouted desperately in his heart, but he could only watch helplessly as Aisha stepped into the darkness step by step. .

In the dark alley, there was no one there. A young girl lowered her head and walked to the center with a dull expression like a marionette.

The singing suddenly disappeared...

Between the eyes of the two, a red light flashed in a miraculous way, and then a man appeared?There is a crystal clear pendant hanging around the neck, but the body and face are shrouded in a cloud of shadows, blurred.

His mouth squirmed, and he uttered an obscure incantation.

It seems to be a charity, or an order.

The real murderer, are you the real murderer? !

You bastard, why did you take my Aisha away? !

Todd fell into extreme anger, grief, and his heart seemed to be twitching.

But neither body nor soul can move.

The girl was frightened, and took a step back staggeringly. Immediately afterwards, the man stretched out his finger and hooked it in the air.

"Aecáemm!"

An invisible force acts on Aisha.

She was gagged.

His face was terrified, and his limbs arched strangely.

The small body rose into the air and landed beside the man.

"Boom—"

The spiral air flow drilled out of the void, and a square door appeared out of thin air.

There was a strong wind in the alley.

Aisha couldn't help herself, followed the man and stepped into the gate.

……

The world was spinning, dizziness and darkness flooded Todd.

He was trapped in the darkness of death for an unknown amount of time.

Open your eyes again.

Todd enters another scene.

A pitch-black ceiling, dazzling yellow light, surrounded by a row of slender square wooden boxes.

Surrounded by wooden boxes, there are wooden beds covered with white cloth.

He (she) was lying on one of the simple wooden beds, and in front of him stood a strong man wearing a dirty blood-stained apron and wearing a mask. The man held a sharp scalpel tightly and pointed it straight at his (her) eyes poked straight over——

"what--"

"Todd!" The witcher rushed into the bedroom like a gust of wind, and pressed the mercenary's shoulder tightly.

The latter sat up with a stiff body from the bed, covered his eyes with sweat, sobbed and twitched hoarsely, and his chest pulsated as if he was about to suffocate.

"Man, stop screaming, it was just a nightmare, you are safe now! Tell me, what did you see just now?"

He didn't answer, just yelled and growled manically, then covered his face and wailed.

"Aisha, my Aisha...she's gone."

Like a patient in an addiction, he becomes unable to communicate.

The witcher turned his gaze to Colin Tilly.

Bumengzhe put the half-knitted sweater in the box behind him with great care.

He rubbed his cheeks tiredly.

She also participated in Todd's dream, seeing everything, with a horrified expression on her pretty face.

After Roy comforted her with the Axis seal, Kelin Tilly came back to her senses and said slowly, with lingering fears in her heart,

"I witnessed everything that happened on the day Aisha disappeared. Aisha met a man in a narrow alley, probably a warlock. He restrained her with supernatural power and entered the portal together."

"A man? A warlock?"

Roy's face sank, which was the last thing he wanted to see.

"Dreams are mixed with truth and falsehood..." The dreamer took a sip of water, took a few breaths, and analyzed based on past experience, "It's because the murderer's face is blurred and he can't identify the specific identity. "

The dream predictor glanced at the mercenary with pity.

Witnessing the last relative, the lovely daughter being taken away, is such a cruel punishment, it is enough to break the sanity of a normal person.

Not to mention that strange man.

Thinking of what that man did, she couldn't help but tremble all over, as if a pair of terrifying eyes were looking at her from somewhere unknown.

"Can't you see clearly?" Roy was disappointed.

"Master, wait for me to spend some time to comprehend and comprehend... I keep repeating that dream," Colin Tilly said uncertainly, "Maybe I can see the murderer's face clearly!"

Roy nodded, "Then I will thank you!"

"Having received such a large amount of money from the two of you, if there is no practical effect, wouldn't it be ruining the reputation of the Tilly family!" Colin Tilly shook her head, her brows slightly frowned, and tried her best to recall,

"By the way, I was still in his second dream. I saw a man wearing an apron and a mask, a room full of corpses, and a scalpel! That man seemed to be..."

"With an apron and a mask, a scalpel? Could it be the coroner?"

Roy remembered what he had seen and heard in Ireland.

"That's right, it's almost inseparable. That guy is a coroner... works in the morgue in Nuocheng... So Aisha has already..."

Colin Tilly covered her mouth.

"It's too early to draw conclusions, but time is running out," Roy said. "Todd and I have to go to the morgue in Novigrad."

Chapter 32 Mortuary

"Feel better now?"

Colin Tilly was smoking a small and delicate pipe, and exhaled a smoke ring towards Todd beside her,

The latter's huge body was sitting on the head of the bed in a numb manner, his body was bent and his head was held, as if he had aged ten years after a dream.

The last image of the dream kept lingering in his mind, and his heart ached like it was about to burst.

What does the coroner and the room full of dead bodies mean?The relatives who have been looking for for a long time are no longer alive in the end.

The gloomy life finally sends out a ray of hope, but it is mercilessly extinguished.

Compared with the physical pain of being seriously injured and dying, this kind of inner torture made him suffer even more.

However, the will honed by his long-term mercenary career allowed him to force himself and quickly get rid of bad emotions.

"Sorry, I made you laugh." Todd's eyes were bloodshot and his voice was hoarse as if he had suffered a serious illness. He suddenly stood up.

"I can understand," Bu Mengzhe exhaled, his eyes blank, as if recalling the unbearable past. "There is nothing more painful than the loss of a loved one, and this pain can never heal."

The two were silent for a moment.

"Master Roy is still downstairs, don't make him wait too long."

"Ah."

Todd turned his back, feeling a little dizzy for a while, and the blurry man seemed to flash in front of him again, his fingertips were firmly pinched into the flesh of his palm.

"Wait until I find Aisha. No matter who he is, I want blood for blood... blood for blood!"

……

Nuocheng was covered with a layer of orange gauze, and the sky was getting closer to dusk.

The witcher and mercenaries rushed to the morgue without stopping.

But he found two soldiers with long swords guarding the door.

This is quite abnormal. Under normal circumstances, Novigrad would not assign duty to the morgue.

After all, the dead who are transported to the morgue will be picked up by the body collector first, and the rest will be unprofitable.

As for those who are psychopathic and have evil intentions on the corpse, the coroner and his assistants will naturally drive them away.

There is no need to mobilize soldiers.

The witcher and Todd exchanged glances.

"You two, what are you doing?!" The young soldier on the left glanced at the two of them casually, stretched out his hand to stop them, and snapped, "Get away from me, don't come here and cause trouble, now the morgue is strictly forbidden to enter and leave."

"Good afternoon, Guardian of the Eternal Flame, I am Roy, the Snake Demon Hunter." The Demon Hunter stepped forward, his dark golden pupils swept across a few people, and said neither humble nor humble,

"This friend's family member suffered an accident, and the body is lying in it. Can you two make it easier for us to go in and see her?"

The soldier glanced at the snake pie pendant around his neck, his face suddenly became ugly, but he still stubbornly blocked the door with his neck stretched out.

"Snake Demon Hunter, we have never offended you. Please don't make things difficult for us... Not long ago, a murder occurred in the morgue. The matter is of great importance. I hope you understand."

He put emphasis on "whatever".

"I understand, you can't be casual, right? The two brothers are tired after a day in the sun... You should know that demon hunters are best at searching for clues. Maybe I can help the 'Great Eternal Flame' one A little busy?"

"Why don't you tell me what happened inside first? I'll help with the investigation later, free of commission. If you can find any clues for the two of you, you will be rewarded by Chief Chapelle."

The two soldiers exchanged glances, quite moved.

But there is still a trace of hesitation.

Seeing this, Roy blinked at the big man beside him, and the latter immediately understood, and threw out the more powerful and safer money shells than Biakshi's seal, and the two soldiers completely surrendered, expressing the meaning of martial law. reason--

In the early morning of two days ago, the coroner and his assistant were found dead in the morgue. They died very strangely, or rather inexplicably.

An ominous premonition surged in Roy's heart. In Todd's dream, Aisha appeared in the morgue, and the coroner died on the spot.

"Coincidence? Or is there some connection between the two events?"

After a while, the two continued to use money to clear the way and successfully sneaked into the morgue.

The soldier accepted it as soon as he saw it, and after explaining the precautions and the situation in the room, he took the money and went to the spear cave to have a good time.

Novigrad, the free city, is a commercial capital, and every resident pursues profit, life, interpersonal communication, and everything is inseparable from money.

……

The mortuary is lower than the ground level, almost the basement floor, which is more conducive to the preservation of the corpse, and its walls are thicker to isolate the heat from the outside world.

Contrary to the sunny and warm climate outside, the interior of the morgue is cold and damp, with torches and braziers hanging on the gray-black walls on both sides at intervals, flickering dimly.

As soon as a person passed by, the shadow cast on the wall was elongated by the flames, giving off a gloomy atmosphere.

The morgue is divided into six small rooms with an intricate structure, somewhat like the cave where Sharma lived in the deep mountains, surrounded by a pungent smell of medical antiseptics, as well as the rotten and stench of flesh and blood.

Roy and Todd walked straight forward for about half a minute, passing empty wooden beds along the way, most of which were tilted here and there, with a corner missing, obviously suffered a huge impact not long ago.

There were messy footprints on the ground nearby, and blood splattered on the walls and pillars.

Turn on the witcher's senses, and you can clearly see several crossed ribbons of flesh and blood.

Very fresh, just in these two days.

"Obviously, the coroner struggled and resisted before he died. Unfortunately, the assailant was too powerful to resist."

"More than a dozen wooden beds weighing more than [-] pounds were touched in a mess. If a normal person dares to play like this, his body joints will be damaged."

On the edge of the wooden bed, the witcher found some broken skin flakes, which belonged to humans.
