They all call me master

Clay is dead.

Bernice's second son was lying on his back on the floor at this moment, his throat was slit, blood was flowing all over the floor, and his eyes were wide open.

Heywood looked at this scene and his whole body was stunned.

When he was at No. 2 Kirk Street, Heywood had never doubted Arthur like Bernice. He had seen Arthur's abilities and had no doubts about Arthur's abilities.

However, the black-hearted landlord never thought that Arthur could be so powerful.

It can actually ‘predict’!

‘If possible, I would like to meet him, but I also don’t want him to meet me. ’

Take a look at this sentence!

At that time, Mr. Kratos may have anticipated what happened to Clay, but the kind-hearted Mr. Kratos did not give up, and did not want the Bernices to suffer such unprecedented sorrow, so he gave up. After seeing No. 14 Kirk Street and No. 333 Russell Street, which were obviously more cost-effective, I took the lead in choosing No. 17 Xilin Street.

To save poor Clay.

Unfortunately……

Still too late!

"So that's it - your mind is really admirable. Even in the face of misunderstandings, you still help the other person regardless of past grudges."

Understanding appeared on Heywood's face, and he bowed to Arthur.

This time, the black-hearted landlord looked at Arthur with an extra bit of respect in addition to the fear he deserved.

Arthur wanted to say that you are overthinking.

coincide!

All of this was a coincidence. I was just trying to avoid becoming a 'haunted house creator', but who knew I would bump into 'Death's Favor'.

Arthur was roaring in his heart, but there was a touch of sadness on the surface. He looked at the corpse and said softly——

"Go call the police."

"Yes, Sir Kratos."

Heywood rushed outside, while the landlord beside him was still in panic after the police arrived.

Maltz, who walked into No. 17 Xilin Street, looked at Arthur standing next to the corpse and couldn't help but cover his face. When he walked over, he couldn't help but whisper -

"Arthur, how about you stay at home to recuperate for a few weeks before going out?

Or maybe you can travel to other cities for a few weeks?

Everyone at the Shire District Police Station was working overload. You looked at the dark circles under Dico's eyes. He hadn't gone back to see his daughter for two days. "

Arthur rolled his eyes at this.

He doesn’t want to either!

But it was such a coincidence that wherever he went, there would be dead people.

‘Could it be that the so-called [Dark Snake] bloodline has some unknown side effects? ’

Arthur muttered in his heart and raised his hand to pat the old sheriff on the shoulder.

"Where's Bob?

I'm looking forward to your friend's arrival - I have a feeling that with his arrival, we won't have to experience anything like this again!

There will definitely be new changes! "

Arthur pointed at Clay's body on the ground and said confidently.

"It should be soon. Although the guy didn't reply, I know he will definitely come!"

The old sheriff promised.

Arthur nodded, and then both of them looked at Clay.

"The technique was very professional, and without any hesitation, he wiped the deceased's neck directly from behind."

The old police chief stared at the wound on the throat of the corpse and said with certainty, but the next moment, when he saw the other wounds on the corpse, his brows frowned slightly.

There were four wounds on Clay's chest and lower abdomen.

From the looks of the wound, it was caused by a knife or dagger.

However, the wounds vary in depth.

Moreover, the angle at which it penetrated the corpse was also off.

The old police sergeant, who had served in the Seven Years' War and had been a policeman for thirty years, suddenly thought of a possibility: multiple people committed the crime.

Subconsciously, the old police chief cast a questioning look at his partner.

Arthur agreed with the old sheriff.

At the same time, he pointed to the floor that was flooded with blood.

"Um?"

The old police chief squinted his eyes to look carefully, and was surprised to find that under the blood of the corpse, someone had drawn a five-pointed star on the floor with white and red powder.

Suddenly, the old police chief was startled.

"not?"

"no."

Arthur replied with great certainty. At the same time, he pinched a little bit of the white and red powder in the corner that was not submerged in blood and handed it to the old sheriff.

"Is this...salt and red brick powder?"

After the old police chief took it, he twisted it with his fingers, put it under his nose and smelled it, and then a look of surprise appeared on his face.

"Salt can ward off evil spirits, and red brick powder can block the prying eyes of evil spirits - this is true, but salt needs to be coarse salt, while red brick powder needs to choose red bricks from buildings where the family is prosperous, and it also needs blessing! More The important thing is that the two can be used at the same time, but they must be clearly distinguished. Mixing them together like this will only interfere with each other, or even be counterproductive."

Arthur explained.

This is one of the most commonly used methods of exorcism by 'hunters' as mentioned by 'Detective' Albers when communicating with him. If salt can be made into salt bombs and shot out with firecrackers, the effect will be even better. , combined with iron and silver weapons, can effectively kill evil spirits - but there is a prerequisite, they must be blessed in a unique way for a 'hunter' before these things can work.

To put it simply, it is useful after blessing. Without blessing, it is just a decoration.

"That means there are people who know only a little about these things and are trying to make things up?"

The old sheriff said his guess.

"If that's the case, then it's really the best result - half-baked things are always the most frightening.

Especially on the mysterious side, these guys are the ones who do great things! "

Arthur lowered his voice and made a gesture to the old sheriff where no one could see him.

The old police chief immediately looked serious.

The calm old police chief turned around and started shouting according to the procedure——

“Hunter, Newt, you cordon off the house.

Dicko, go and investigate the identity of the deceased..."

"He is Clay, the second son of Bernice."

Arthur said calmly from the side.

"Hey, his soul is nearby?"

The old sheriff looked left and right with curiosity, obviously wanting to find Clay's soul.

"No, it was his parents who asked me to find him."

Arthur shook his head.

Suddenly, the expression on the old police chief's face became complicated.

He didn't know how to evaluate Clay's parents.

Of course, there is absolutely no malice in this. The old police chief has great trust in the abilities of his partners, but is this act of asking someone who is favored by the God of Death to find his son too imprudent?

Alas, poor Clay.

The old police chief sighed inwardly and continued what he had said before——

“Dico, go and inform the relatives of the deceased.

Simon, take people to visit the surrounding neighbors to see if anyone heard or saw anything last night. "

"Yes, Sheriff!"

The officers began to take action with their patrol officers.

The old police chief was not idle either. Together with Arthur, he carefully inspected No. 17 Xilin Street.

However, the murderer had cleaned the entire building and there were no clues.

About half an hour later, Mr. and Mrs. Bernice, who had just said goodbye, appeared again. Mrs. Bernice looked at her tragically dead son and burst into tears.

Mr. Bernice's face was livid, and murderous intent began to boil in his eyes. Arthur clearly saw this gentleman making several gestures towards his bodyguard.

How can it be possible for a person who can start his own life to be simple?

Then, the gentleman walked directly in front of Arthur and said solemnly——

"20,000 gold tickets, help me find the person who killed Clay!"

Mr. Bernice quoted a really high price.

Arthur expressed surprise at this, but the young 'spiritual medium''s attention was still attracted by the person coming down from the carriage behind him, and there was even more surprise in his eyes——

Why is she here?
