Mystery: The Lamp God’s Path To Freedom

This is Carlson, a member of the Backlund Heart of Machinery team. Although he looks young, he has joined the Heart of Machinery for several years. He is currently an archaeologist of Sequence Eight.

The other two members are only Sequence Nine, one is a generalist, and the other is a secret peep.

Since the police officer's report contained only female corpses, notes, dogs, cats, and Beyonders, Heart of Machines only regarded this as an ordinary Beyonder event, and only sent three low-sequence team members to check it out.

Carlson stood in front of the door and first took out the sealed item he was carrying. A warm feeling rose from the bottom of his heart. The three of them felt courage at the same time, and the power of purification was permeated around their bodies.

Carlson carefully opened the door and saw a neat living room. The only thing that was incongruous was the corpse lying on the ground.

The windows in the room are bright and clean, and there is no trace of evil power left.

The three of Carlson first checked the corpse, and found that the corpse was intact and somewhat strange. The female corpse's abdomen was strangely sunken, as if it was empty inside, unable to support the skin of the abdomen.

Then they walked to the coffee table and checked the message paper in the description.

Sequence Six!

The three of Carlson's eyes widened, and their hands couldn't help touching the sealed object and the extraordinary pistol in their arms.

Why didn't the police say that the death of this woman involved a Sequence Six Beyonder? These cops have rusty bearings in their heads, they should be overhauled!

"What should I do, Carlson?" the generalist asked dryly.

"Don't panic, don't panic..." Carlson clenched the sealed object of the Sun Domain he had applied for, and said not very confidently, "There is no evil power left in this room, otherwise 3-1576 will react."

"What is the criminal pathway Sequence Six?" The other peeping teammates were relatively calm.

"I don't know either." Carlson replied dully, "The deacon should know."

The three fell silent. After a while, Carlson gathered up his courage, took a step forward, and picked up this message paper. He didn't feel any strange or evil power left. This piece of paper, like this room, was ordinary.

Carlson calmed down and said to the peeping teammates: "Use ritual magic to fortune up the cause of death of the owner of the room."

Then he said to the generalist teammates: "Let's check the room again to see if there is anything to be gained."

The three of them were busy with each other, but they didn't get anything.

"Go back and report to Deacon Ikanser."

Carlson took the message paper, walked out of the room with his two companions, and put the broken lock back in. Although the door lock lost its original function due to the damage to the door panel, Carlson still couldn't get used to one waiting to be repaired. and the reset components appeared before his eyes.

Before leaving, the three took out the police station's special cordon to protect the scene and surrounded the door to prevent other residents in the building from entering the room with the damaged door lock out of curiosity or greed.

The three hurried to the St. Hillan Church, the headquarters of the God of Steam and Machinery in St. George's Diocese of Backlund, and found the deacon Ikanser Bernard in the underground of the church.

Ikanser was combing his tousled hair in the mirror. When not on duty, Ikanser spends a lot of time wrestling with his stubborn hair, trying to tame it, whether he's on vacation at home or on duty underground at a church. But as a deacon who regularly used Sealed Artifact 2-111, his hair was always as stubborn as if it had been washed with dynamite.

Carlson described the situation at the scene and the results of the ritual magic in detail, and handed over the message paper. Ikanser took it and looked at it for a while, pondered for a while, and said, "I will bring 2-111 with you to the scene to investigate. a bit."

Leading Ikanser, Carlson and others back to the room where the female corpse was.

Ikanser checked again, the appraiser's ability made him very sure that there were no extraordinary dangerous factors at the scene.

As a craftsman path Extraordinary who is not good at divination, psychics, and deciphering, when he encountered this kind of situation that had no clue but was determined to be an Extraordinary event, he had no choice but to take out Sealed Artifact 2-111 from his pocket with a sad face. An ancient silver mirror with a strange pattern.

Taking a deep breath, Ikanser reached out and stroked the surface of the silver mirror three times, and then asked:

"Dear Arrodes, my question is, what happened to this room last night involving extraordinary factors?"

The surface of the silver mirror ripples like the surface of water, showing scenes of beating scenes.

A huge black canine creature pounced on the thin woman. The woman's expression was frightened, her mouth was wide open, and her scream seemed to be able to reveal the picture and reach the ears of everyone in front of the mirror.

The woman was thrown to the ground, the giant black dog raised its front paws, a cold light flashed, and a ferocious slit was cut open from top to bottom in the woman's abdomen. The giant dog directly opened the wound, half tore out the internal organs, and then lowered his head and chewed. The blood was gushing out, and the woman had already died of anger.

The picture flashed, and the black giant dog was suddenly stopped in place, and then its body mutated, its body swelled, its fleshy wings spread, flames rose, and its curved horns grew.

The picture trembled again, the black giant dog disappeared, and the floor was covered with black mud-like disgusting liquid flowing around, and then the mud stopped wriggling, and a black mist wafted out, and began to shrink.

The screen was about to switch again, but it suddenly stopped for a moment. It seemed that the mirror also needed to think about how the next screen should be presented.

Immediately, the picture appeared, the room was like a strong wind passing through, and countless fragments of objects were flipped and rolled up. Whether it was a damaged item or a devastated female corpse, it was completely restored like a conjuration.

Finally, the coffee table in the living room appeared in the picture, a piece of letter paper flew to the surface of the coffee table, and a tea cup actively pressed it.

All the pictures quickly faded, leaving only a blank space, and then a line of bright red words outlined:

"According to the principle of reciprocity..."

Ikanser swallowed unconsciously, waiting for the verdict to come.

"When you are in bed with your loved one, do you prefer to be on top or bottom?"

As if he had just eaten a big bowl of Fenerpot plateau chili, Ikanser felt that he was hot from head to toe.

"At...below."

Ikanser finally spoke, and even though the voice was very low, Carlson and the others still heard the answer. The awkward atmosphere makes people feel the freezing of the air.

After a while, Ikanser adjusted his emotions and pretended to be calm and said:

"Arrodes only showed the murderer who killed the lady. But obviously, there was a third party present. He killed the Sequence Six demon dog and dealt with the scene, leaving a note."

Ikanser analyzed the results obtained, and the awkward atmosphere gradually eased.

"My question includes the one who left the note, the black cat sheriff, but Arrodes completely bypassed it and didn't show it, indicating that this person may have super anti-divination ability, at least above a demigod. It is also possible that this person may have obtained a secret asylum. I think we should report it to the Archbishop, and perhaps report this to the Church of the Evernight Goddess."

"Maybe, we can ask Arrodes again, just ask the identity of the person who left the note." Carlsen suggested eagerly.

Ikanser looked disapproving.

"To be safe, let's report it to the Archbishop first."

"What about the owner of the demon dog mentioned on the note? We can ask him about his situation." Carlson still didn't give up.

"The owner of a Sequence Six Extraordinary creature, the worst is also a Sequence Five. This is already the strongest below the high Sequence. We can't take risks and go back to the church first."

Ikanser firmly believes that he will never ask the second question again.

"Notify the police department and treat it as an accidental death, which is said to be robbery and murder."
