Dorothy's Forbidden Tome

"Huh... What a rare experience... Looking at so many directions at the same time, hearing so many voices at the same time, although I have had the experience of using meat puppets before, but it is the first time to access so many senses at once, hehe ...Mr. Detective, you really can come up with something surprising every time."

Adele said so, there are about six or seven small corpse puppets arranged by Dorothy in the police station, which is equivalent to providing Adele with six or seven sets of sensory information of different positions in one go, which makes She was a little uncomfortable for a while.

'Extraordinary who can manipulate so many precise meat puppets at the same time can share the senses with those who pray, a divine existence that has never been heard before. It has a deep relationship with 'Kai'...'

Rubbing her temples, Adele thought about it in her heart, but after she calmed down a little, she went on to get to the point.

"The head's eyes and ears have become more cautious after being reprimanded. I feel that long-term surveillance can't make any progress..."

"Yeah, so now it's time for us to find someone else in a different way."

Ed responded lightly to Adele's words. Hearing Ed's words, Adele raised her eyebrows, and then opened her mouth curiously.

"Listen to your tone, Mr. Detective. Now you have some ideas."

"Of course... But if it doesn't work, I still need to try it." Ed said, and then took out a folded paper from his clothes, and after cleaning the table a little, he put the The paper was unfolded on the table, and Adele recognized what it was at a glance. It was the urban map of the Coal Ash District. They used this map to locate the crime location before, and thus locked the charcoal intersection. As for the trap points, there are still many black spots on the map that were marked when they were marked.

"It's this map again...Are you still going to use the map to find people? Last time we suffered a loss." Looking at the map in front of him, Adele said with a little confusion, while Ed directly answer.

"No, no, no...Miss Adele, although the incident at the Charcoal Crossing is dangerous, in my opinion, it is definitely not a disadvantage. Although we are facing a crisis, we have also obtained a key piece of information."

Ed said, and then continued to take out more tools from his clothes, including a compass, and listening to Ed's words, Adele spoke suspiciously.

"Key information?"

"It's at the charcoal intersection, where the puppet with flesh behind the scenes is arranged." Ed said, and then he broke the compass he took out, adjusted it according to the scale on the map, and listened to his words. The doubt in Er's eyes became heavier.

"He has meat puppet monitoring there, it's obvious... Can this be considered key information?"

"Of course, Ms. Adele, you don't know much about meat puppets, right? Generally, extraordinary props that manipulate meat puppets can't control a range of more than three kilometers, so that guy's location is at the intersection of charcoal and wood." As the origin, within a range of three kilometers."

Ed said, then picked up the compass adjusted to the scale, and drew a large circle with a diameter of three kilometers on the map centered on the charcoal intersection. The large area circled by this circle has the name The hiding place of the mastermind behind the scenes.

In this world, except Dorothy, the simulated puppeteer, who can manipulate the corpse puppet at a radius of ten kilometers, the manipulation distance of the rest of the corpse puppet props is the same three kilometers. Dorothy's corpse puppet ring is So, too, were Byron's corpse buttons.

"Is the control distance of the meat puppet props limited to three kilometers? This is the first time I know such details..." Adele nodded thoughtfully, and then turned to look at the map in front of her.

"But even if we know the guy's hiding area through the limit distance of the meat puppet prop, it's still hard to find him. You see, the range you draw is so wide, it's very difficult to find him..."

Adele went on to say that what she said was good, the area enclosed by a circle with a radius of three kilometers is not small, and the difficulty of finding people in such a large urban area has not been reduced much.

"Yeah, three kilometers is a bit long, and this circle is a bit big... But Ms. Adele, don't forget, we found more than one circle. Just now at the police station, the eyes and ears contacted the man behind the scenes through the meat puppet, so that It proves that in addition to the charcoal intersection, the police station in the coal ash area is also within the range of that guy's control, so we can draw a circle again."

Ed said so, then picked up the compass, found the Coal Ash District Police Station on the map, and drew a big circle with a radius of three kilometers with it as the center. Now two circles appeared on the map at once. Seeing the drawing of this circle, Adele's eyes lit up.

"That's right... There is also that guy's meat puppet in the police station, which means that the guy's position must be able to control the puppet in the charcoal intersection and the police station at the same time, and the police station and the charcoal intersection The distance is not too close, so the places where both points can be manipulated at the same time will be much less than the places where only one place can be manipulated."

Adele said it clearly, and Ed answered with a smile and nodded.

"Yes, to be precise...he's in this area." Ed pointed to the map, where the circle drawn with the intersection as the center and the circle drawn with the police station as the center intersected. In the area where these two circles intersect, a three-kilometer circle can be drawn to include both the intersection and the police station, which means that the guy's hiding place must be in this area.

Listening to Ed's words, Adele's eyes also focused on the area where the two circles intersected on the map, and she spoke with a twinkle in her eyes.

"It's true... that guy designed this trap from the very beginning, so he must have found the best hiding spot at the beginning, waiting for us to take the bait slowly, and it is unlikely to run around.

"The current area is much smaller than the simple big circle before, but it's not much smaller, Mr. Detective, if we want to find that guy in this area, I'm afraid it will take a little more time." Kung fu will do."

"Yes, it's a little smaller, but it's not small enough. In this case, we may think of a way to narrow this range down."

Ed responded like this, listening to his words, Adele responded immediately.

"Can you narrow down the scope further? How are you going to do it?"

"It's very simple, as long as you can determine the location of a meat puppet of that guy, and draw another circle on this map, then the location of that guy is the intersection of the three circles, and you can increase the search range a bit. .”

Chapter 290 Locked

Shrugging, Ed continued to speak, and Adele immediately replied.

"Oh...then, Mr. Detective, what method are you going to use to find him a meat puppet again?"

"It's very simple. We can think about it differently with that guy. If Miss Adele were that guy, how would you use the meat puppet in your hand under the current situation?"

Ed asked Adele a question. Adele frowned after hearing this, then put her hands on the table and crossed her fingers, trying to answer Ed's question while thinking.

"The role of the meat puppet is mainly for detection. That guy must be thinking about using the meat puppet to find us and monitor us. After the black dog rolled up the sand and dust, he lost our vision. The soot area is huge. There is no way for him to find us in a short while with the words of meat puppets."

"Yeah... there are only two of us, the target is very small, and he can't find it if he hides in the alley of some house while taking advantage of the dust, so when he can't find us, he goes back to focus on something What about the target?"

Holding a cup of tea and drinking, Ed spoke promptingly, and after hearing Ed's prompt, Adele immediately responded wittily.

"It's black dogs. Those black dogs are different from us. They have a lot of people here, and even a big carriage. That carriage has a big target. If it is a flying meat puppet, it should be easy to find."

"That's right, those hunters, if they can't find us, it's definitely the best choice to keep an eye on them, after all, he has to make sure at any time whether those hunters have arrested us or not.

"I still have flying meat golems hovering over the coal ash area to monitor those hunters. They have already driven their cars to the hoarding site in order to imprison the 'mortals' they just captured. My flying meat golems were also found there. I saw a suspicious bird standing on the street lamp, staring at the hunter's carriage motionless from a long distance, not daring to approach or miss it."

Ed said so, and listening to Ed's words, Adele also asked back in her heart.

"So, you and that guy both have bird meat puppets watching those black dogs? Then why can you find his puppets but he can't find yours?"

"It's simple. I manipulated three bird meat puppets to fly over the monitoring area in turn. It seemed natural. But that guy only stood on the street light and didn't move. I watched it from above. It's getting old and conspicuous, so naturally I see something wrong with it and it doesn't see something wrong with me."

Ed lightly said that the upper limit of ordinary puppet props is two puppet, and the number of puppet that the man behind the scenes is monitoring the hunter is the same as the puppet at the charcoal intersection, and there is no Dorothy on the other side. In this way, the upper limit of a rich enough corpse can be squandered at will.

'There are also three bird-shaped meat puppets who take turns to monitor, and none of them stay for a long time. Being able to control so many meat puppets at the same time... Leaving aside the ability itself, even this mental power is ridiculously strong. '

Listening to Ed's words, Adele sighed in her heart, feeling more and more in her heart how terrifying the intelligence capabilities of the existence code-named "Detective" in the Rosary Cross, and secretly rejoicing that the other party seemed to be I have no idea about myself.

"Such a powerful intelligence and investigation ability is worthy of the codename 'Detective'. I don't know if other members of the Rosicrucian also have such a powerful ability..."

Staring at Ed, Adele guessed in her heart, and at the same time became more interested in this mysterious association.

At this time, Ed picked up the compass and drew another big circle with a radius of three kilometers on the map with the hoarding field as the origin. So far, there were already three big circles on the map of the soot area in front of them.

And the intersection of these three great circles is much smaller than the previous two intersections. Here Adele and Ed only saw one building, which was a mansion.

"Styker Mansion"

Only at the location of this mansion, can the three locations of the police station, the charcoal wood intersection, and the hoarding yard be puppet manipulated at the same time.

"Finally, I found it..." Looking at the newly marked location on the map, Adele murmured, and then she turned her head to look at Ed's opening.

"Mr. Detective, shall we start now?"

"Don't worry, Miss Adele, it's impolite for us to go to the place we have finally found. Now there are people who are trying to find this place, we can remind them."

Facing Adele in front of him, Ed said with a smile.

……

Sitivian, Soot District, near the hoarding yard.

In the hoarding field, at this moment, countless people are busy inside and out. Panic merchants are checking their goods in the field, exclaiming the loss at the moment, cursing why the blinding storm hit this place so badly. It was so ruthless, and at the edge of the field, a huge black carriage was parked here, and at the edge of the carriage, several plainclothes hunters were standing here guarding the surroundings.

In the huge carriage compartment, in the dark and small space, a young man was being touched and sitting on the seat tied up. In front of him was Edmund with a serious face. Looking at the blindfolded man in front of him with a straight expression.

"Let me ask you one last time. Tell me honestly about your own situation, the association you belong to, and your conspiracy in the coal ash area... Tell me honestly that there will be a commutation of sentence during the trial. If you continue to persist in your obsession, I can only hand you over Headquarters, they're not as easy to talk to as I am, young man."

Sitting with his legs crossed, Edmund interrogated the young man in front of him, and the young man answered.

"I said it! I will not betray the society! No matter what you do to me, I will not say a word! Black dogs!"

"It's quite spineless, but it's a pity that it's used in the wrong place. Those cult associations are not good things. Don't you realize that you have been abandoned? You'd better explain the matter here honestly, at the headquarters But not many people have mercy on the heretics." Edmund continued to persuade, but the young man still didn't seem to appreciate it.

"No! The club won't abandon me! The mentor will definitely send someone to save me! The club won't betray me! I won't betray the club either! So I won't do anything...uh..."

Just when the young man was about to continue talking, his words suddenly stopped, his face turned livid, his mouth was opened wide, and his expression became extremely painful.

"Ah...ah...don't...don't...instructor...I won't betray...don't do this...don't abandon me! don't kill me!"

The young man howled in pain. Seeing his appearance, Edmund frowned, and then immediately held the other party down and said.

"What's wrong? What happened? Is that mentor of yours interfering with you?"

"Ah...officer...I...I..."

The young man continued to speak in pain. He trembled and twitched and spit out vague words. Facing this situation, Edmund's first reaction was that the young man whose mentor was worried that he would not be captured was interfering with him in some way, wanting to Kill people.

"Hold on, I'll take you back to the headquarters right away, there should be a way to save you there!"

"Save...save...it's impossible...officer...I, I said..."

Opening his mouth wide, the young man spat out his final confession to Edmund in a painful gesture.

"Ah, Alex...Stike Mansion..."

After uttering the last words, the young man relaxed all over, tilted his head, and lay down on his seat without breathing. Seeing the scene in front of him, Edmund was silent for a while. After testing the young man, he sighed. He breathed a sigh of relief, then lit a cigarette, staring at the dead young man in front of him while smoking.

"If I knew today, why bother to do it back then, may the Three Saints forgive your sins..."

After speaking, Edmund turned around and got out of the car. He now has a new task.

Chapter 290 Seven Chaos

Sitivian, Soot District.

On the edge of the Coal Ash District, near the outskirts of Tivian West, in a remote grove, a huge mansion stands here. This mansion has five floors and has its own courtyard and fountain. Although it is located in the Coal Ash District , but due to the deviation from the bustling traffic location, there is not much dust accumulated on the buildings and courtyards.

This mansion just stood quietly in a remote corner of the city, with the doors and windows closed and the iron gate locked. At first glance, it looked like a deserted house, and only occasionally pedestrians glanced inside when they passed by the iron gate.

Inside this mansion, in a dimly lit small room with bright decorations, an elderly man named Alex was sitting on the sofa, frowning while stroking a cloth-wrapped scepter in his hand.

"Hmm... nothing happened yet, what are those black dogs interrogating? Who did they catch? Shouldn't they go and catch Adele?"

Using the field of vision he set up in the hoarding field, Alexis monitored every move of the hunters there. After the dust was rolled up at the charcoal intersection, it lost Adele's vision for a while. After the dust subsided , the puppet he arranged at the charcoal intersection can no longer find Edmund and Adele, and he can only control one bird-shaped puppet, which is far less than Dorothy's monitoring of multiple bird-shaped puppet at the same time Come in control.

After the dust settled down, Alex could only continue to monitor at the charcoal intersection. Edmund's subordinates were already in the carriage, and then he let his bird-shaped corpse follow the carriage to the hoarding yard. Nearby, he wanted to confirm the results of Edmund's battle, but what surprised him was that although Edmund caught someone here, that person was not Adele, but another young man he didn't know. Man, Alex was very confused at this moment.

'Who is that man?Also Adele's sidekick?And it's not the same as when she was next to her at the intersection, how could he make the captain of the black dog abandon Adele and turn to catch him? '

Alex thought urgently in his heart that what he wanted most at this time was to confirm Adele's current situation, but the number of corpse puppets he could manipulate was limited, and there was only one bird-shaped corpse puppet that could move. It is very difficult to find Adele who disappeared in the urban area, so he can only monitor Edmund and others whose target is more obvious.

'Hmph... This thing is not very useful, if it weren't for that bitch Adele's habit of changing to cover up her smell, who would use this thing to find someone. '

Alex thought angrily in his heart. He took out a badge from his body and looked at it in his hand. The badge was engraved with a picture of a villain holding hands. Obviously, this is also a corpse puppet prop. In the hidden world, this type of The Extraordinary props don't seem to exist alone.

Although he was dissatisfied with the detection efficiency of the corpse puppet in his hand, Alex did not discard it, but continued to use it to monitor the distant scene, and continued to spy on the hunter's carriage near the hoarding place, the bird-shaped corpse he manipulated I was standing on the streetlight more than 200 meters away from the carriage. For fear of being noticed by hunters, he didn't let the bird fly too close, so he couldn't hear the content of Edmund's interrogation in the carriage.

And at this moment, he finally saw the captain of the hunter get off the carriage, and his expression seemed to be very serious.

'Out?Did the captain of the black dog torture something? '

Seeing this scene through the vision of the corpse doll, Alex thought in his heart, and just as he wanted to continue monitoring, in the sky, he heard a whistling sound in the sky.

Hearing this sound, Alex manipulated the corpse puppet and turned his head to look up to the sky, only to see a mighty eagle flying down from the sky, rushing towards his bird-shaped corpse puppet, Alex wanted to He manipulated the corpse puppet to avoid it, but it was too late, his bird-shaped corpse puppet was grabbed by the eagle claws, and his vision connected to the past began to be stained with blood after a while of shaking, and then completely black.

In this way, Alex lost his vision of the hoarding field, and through the last picture transmitted to him by the bird-shaped corpse, he knew that he was preyed on by an eagle.

"Eagle? How come there are eagles in the soot area!?"

With a slap on the table, Alex bluntly said that the scene just now was so outrageous that it made him suspicious.

'Hiss... Could it be that I was discovered by those black dogs?Was that eagle domesticated or manipulated by the black dog?Or was it just me being unlucky enough to be spotted by a common hawk flying by? '

Alex thought so in his heart, because in order to avoid attracting too much attention, the bird-shaped corpse doll he used was the most common small bird in the city. Although the corpse doll that used raptors for scouting could fly higher and faster, But it is also more eye-catching, and Alex, who manipulates a limited number of corpse puppets, will not use them.

The corpse puppet he used for surveillance was suddenly removed, which gradually made Alex feel a little bit wrong, but he still thought that maybe those black dogs found the corpse puppet, and didn't think there was any problem with his own safety, so he I plan to continue to control other bird-shaped corpses, and continue to search in the soot area.

……

Just as Alex was about to continue his investigation, outside his mansion, on the top of a tall building 600 meters away, detective Ed in a windbreaker was standing here, looking at the distant sky with a telescope. In the mansion, standing beside him was Adele.

"How's the situation over there?"

Adele asked Ed beside him, and Ed put away the binoculars and stared at the mansion in the distance to answer.

"Just like you said, the mansion is very deserted around, the doors and windows are not open, there are very few pedestrians passing by, and there is no one inside the walls of the mansion. At first glance, it seems to be deserted It seems."

Putting away the binoculars in her hand, Dorothy controlled Ed to turn around and continued to ask Adele.

"There seems to be no security at all, so I don't quite understand why you stopped me from sending small meat puppets in to investigate?"

"Heh... It doesn't look like there is much security, but there are many things inside. I don't know why those small meat puppets of yours can block spiritual perception, but to deal with that guy, blocking spiritual perception alone is not enough."

With her hands folded on her chest, Adele spoke to Ed, and her words aroused Dorothy's interest, and she manipulated Ed to speak.

"Oh...can't it just block spiritual perception? Why?"

"Because he is Alex Klund, a cadre of the Cretaceous Order of the Wolf Blood Society, a werewolf on the path of the beast, you should have experienced the super strong smell effect brought by the breath-seeking sigil, and for werewolves, this The effect is permanent and even stronger. The werewolf can easily distinguish and smell any strange aura that is close to the werewolf. He can track the familiar aura that he has remembered from several kilometers away. At a relatively short distance, The werewolf's sense of smell can even smell the smell covered by Shi Zhifan."

Adele followed Ed like this, and she, who often dealt with the Wolf Blood Society, naturally knew that the Wolf Blood Society had the names of some important cadres in Tivian. Listening to Adele's words, Dorothy frowned slightly. , and let Ed respond.

"So you mean, if my little meat puppet enters his mansion, he will smell it?"

"That's right, didn't you see it? There is nothing inside the walls of the mansion. Once a strange smell that he is not familiar with enters inside, he will immediately sniff it out and cause alertness. You can block spiritual perception, but blocking No smell."
