I Forged the Myth of the Old Ones

"In any case, let's go to the funeral home to check the body in the afternoon and then look at it."

Drizzt picked up his pipe, lit the tobacco, and took a puff.

"Corpse?"

Lu Jian felt that there might be a time difference between himself and the other two.

"The doctor's body, Dr. House."

Drizzt explained.

"We went to the funeral home to investigate his body and hope to find some clues."

"I see."

Lu Yi nodded, and saw that he was eating biscuits again, and the expression on his face eased a little.

However, the biscuits on the plate suddenly seemed to be stolen by some small animal, and one piece was missing while Shia was not paying attention.

"Speaking of which, does Shia have any spells that can make a dead man speak, such as reading the memory in his mind, or summoning undead?"

Lu Jian asked again.

Although logically speaking, this is a reasoning task, but the quiet place did not say that cheating is not allowed. If Shia can directly summon the undead like those necromancers and let the dead speak, then many problems will be solved.

"Spells are not such a convenient thing, didn't I tell you?"

While Shia replied, she reached out to pick up the last biscuit, but found that the plate was empty, and she showed a puzzled expression.

"What about the other two bodies?"

Lu Jian asked again.

"The other two?"

Drizzt didn't quite understand, but he looked at Lu Trim and quickly understood.

"You used [Madman's Knowledge] again?"

"Yes, there should be a gang member and a call girl killed in this case. This is a serial murder case."

Lu Jian's words are concise and to the point.

"But there doesn't seem to be any recent cases like this... I might ask the sheriff."

Drizzt rubbed his chin in thought.

"Before that, let me briefly talk about the information I have so far."

He took out his little notebook and opened a page.

"The name of the deceased was House. He was a doctor. He opened a clinic in Gray Lane, received customers from the common areas, and also took on some work in the slums. He treated some minor diseases for the poor for free. He had a good reputation in the neighborhood. Both gangsters and white people are quite popular characters."

"He was found dead in his own clinic bed two days ago. The death was quite strange. The police filed a case and asked me to participate in the investigation. As you know, I am a detective, and I have a pretty good reputation in the abandoned capital."

He said quite proudly.

"Oh."

Lu Jian nodded, not taking Drizzt's stalk.

"...Because Dr. House has a wide circle of contacts, including Mrs. Martina of the Catania family, she sent me a private commission to investigate a medical record of Dr. House's here, If I'm not mistaken, it may be a record related to her lover."

Drizzt lowered his voice again and said.

"So you're still investigating cheating."

Lu Jian asked subconsciously.

"...I didn't take on these commissions, but Mrs. Martina gave too much."

Drizzt deserved it.

"I understand. If a roast chicken appeared in front of me right now, I would do anything."

Shia nodded in agreement.

"I want to eat roast chicken too."

Lu Jian agreed.

Drizzt looked at his two companions, and suddenly had an illusion that the [Alienation] difficulty of this task was mostly due to the two of them.

The layout of the funeral home in the waste capital is different from other places.

A normal funeral home, mourning hall, and cremation room are all connected together. After seeing the last side of the corpse in the mourning hall, it is sent directly to the cremation room for burning.

However, the funeral parlor located near Gray Lane, because it is located between the black street of the slum and the area where ordinary people live, is more or less contaminated with some shady things, and there is also a spacious morgue and autopsy room.

"People die in Black Street every day. At the beginning, no one took care of these corpses, but those corpses were likely to cause plague and pollute water sources. Later, someone from above probably couldn't stand it anymore, so they donated a sum of money to this place. The interest of the sum of money is used to dispose of the corpses of Heijie, of course, only the part that can be found."

The staff explained as they led the three of them towards the morgue.

The paint tone of the funeral home is serious and solemn, mainly black, and the mottled walls look like they have been burned, with traces of charcoal taint.

The corridor is long and narrow, making one wonder how the cart with the dead body can pass through it.

Occasionally, you can see photos hanging on the wall, most of which are group photos of funeral home employees, black and white, faded, lonely, more like a posthumous photo.

The funeral home was a little dark in the afternoon, but at least there was light.

Passing by some rooms, you can hear the voice of small voices coming from the door.

Lu Jian looked up at the name of the room, Mortuary Zero Two.

Maybe the family members or the staff who inspected the corpse were talking.

Arriving at the room at the end of the corridor, the staff just took out the key and was about to open the door, when they suddenly glanced at Lu Lian behind Drizzt.

"How does this little brother feel that he has seen it before?"

Hearing this, Lu Jian took it easy.

"I once had a relative who was cremated here, thank you for your care."

"Oh."

The staff didn't look into it carefully, but inserted the key into the door lock and tried to twist it.

"Hey, strange, I remember it should be locked."

He pulled out the key and pushed the door open.

The morgue was empty except for a bed with a body lying on it.

"He doesn't seem to have any relatives. The police said it was a homicide. Let's not rush to dispose of the body. To be honest, Dr. House took care of our business before. I am also sorry for his death. Well, you are the police The helper over there?"

The staff walked into the morgue and asked another question.

"This is the document."

Drizzt took out his ID and took another look at the corpse covered in white cloth.

"Why did the police think it was a homicide? Couldn't it be that the doctor ate too quickly when he choked and stood up to drink water? He accidentally fell and hit his head and died of bleeding?"

Lu Bian asked.

"?"

The staff gave him a suspicious look.

"You'll know it when you see the body."

He lifted the white cloth.

Now Lu Yi finally understands why the name of this mission is [Glass Flower].

Because what was presented in front of them was a flower of glass.

Dr. House is a calm middle-aged man, but at this moment, a crystal-clear flower bloomed in the middle of his exercised body, and the flower bloomed so fiercely that it was unforgettable.

All the internal organs in this man's body were forcibly dragged out by something. Most of the spine and ribs were crushed, and together with the internal organs, they were frozen at the moment they were pulled out. That posture was perfectly preserved and became a flower blooming on the corpse.

There is no doubt that such a gesture of death must be murder.

Moreover, Lu Jian estimated that the ones who killed him were not normal humans in all likelihood, but those evil gods' families and exotic monsters.

"Is this thing really glass?"

Lu Jian subconsciously wanted to reach out to touch it, but suddenly realized that it seemed to be someone else's internal organs, and it might be impolite to touch it casually, so he withdrew his hand.

"That's right. It's made of things like bones that were melted at a high temperature and then solidified. How did this thing appear?"

Drizzt put on his gloves and touched the glass flower lightly.

The corpse was as hard, cold, and smooth as real glass. Surprisingly, apart from being damaged, the internal organs inside had not deteriorated due to the high temperature, as if it had just left the owner's body.

"Have you heard of similar cases?"

Shia held a bag of donuts in her hand, bought to make up for the last cookie she lost, and she still held the donuts in one hand in the strange smell of disinfectant in the morgue. Talk while eating.

"No, the people who died on the black street were so miserable. Most of them were beaten to death, or died of illness. I've never seen anything like this before."

The staff sighed.

Lu Jian's [True Vision] glanced at the corpse.

Many details are real and visible.

He saw the calluses on the hands of the corpse, which should have been caused by holding a knife for a long time as a doctor, as well as the remaining dinner in the internal organs, including grilled beef short ribs, boiled potatoes, red wine, fried fish, vegetables... Seeing that Lu Jian was hungry.

"With their income, can they eat steak every night?"

Lu Jian couldn't help asking.

"How is it possible? Even if doctors are high-income people, people who run a clinic here in Gray Lane need to weigh a steak."

Drizzt immediately denied it.
