Chapter 58 Died on duty
Park District, Haibin Road, No. 173.

Xiao En saw Qin's body. Her face had been bitten beyond recognition by rats. The scar on her neck could identify her. It was the scar left when she fought a zombie.

Daisy's thin figure stood next to Qin's body. When she looked up, Sean saw a pair of red eyes.

"It's all my fault. I should have followed her..."

When Xiao En came over to comfort her, Daisy's voice was filled with tears, and she choked up and said, "I thought the last matter had been resolved."

Sean patted Daisy on the back to comfort her sad mood.

"Qin was ambushed and killed in one blow."

The person who spoke was investigator Kwell, who was about twenty-five or twenty-six years old, with deep facial features and sunken eye sockets. He was wearing a gray coat and looked tired. He must have just arrived, as he had been investigating the disappearance of an archaeologist some time ago.

He was a medical examiner who later became an investigator.

Xiao En squatted down and lifted the white cloth covering Qin's body. What he saw was a bit horrific. There was a fatal wound on her back. She was killed with one blow. The murderer pierced her heart in an instant. The wound was blurry and it was impossible to identify what kind of weapon was used.

"Qin is a transcendent of the Ranger Path."

"It's difficult for ordinary people to attack her silently." Xiao En examined the wound and said solemnly: "It could be an assassin!"

When thinking of assassins, Sean immediately thought of the dark elf called 'Madam'.

At that time, Benjamin was also killed by her sneak attack. If Sean had not triggered the death replay and predicted her actions in advance, no one would have survived the battle in the old city.

Only an assassin of this level could kill an experienced investigator silently.

The ranger path in the Dre region is called "Ranger", which is a translation of the ancient Elven language. Their first innate ability is "tracking", but due to the different inheritances in different places, there are some differences in some abilities. The ranger advancement in the Dorne region is more modern. Some rangers in the Dre region still use bows and arrows, which are quieter than guns and are very suitable for fighting in dense jungles.

The terrain that rangers are good at is mostly wilderness, while the terrain that rangers are good at includes cities.

Jean is a melee ranger, and her specialized combat skills are close-range shooting, rapid shooting, and moving shooting, etc. An investigator like her is no weaker than an ordinary night watchman, and it is difficult to assassinate her by sneak attack.

"Could it be that ghost-faced assassin?!"

Xiao En looked at William next to him and said in a serious tone: "Light up, I need to check the scene."

The time now is around 4:30 in the morning.

According to Kwell's inference, Qin was killed around eight o'clock last night. She should have been off work at that time. Qin lived far away from here, and she would not have come here unless there was some special situation.

"I remember the man-eating rat incident was over."

"Didn't they burn those contaminated, deformed rats to death? Why did Qin enter the sewer at this time?"

"What did she find?"

Xiao En gestured to Kerwell, and the two investigators walked into the dark sewer. Behind them, William and Daisy quickly followed. A night watchman who had never been seen before said, "The enemy may still be hiding in the sewer."

"Be careful."

Daisy's pupils changed instantly when she heard that, and a pair of strange cold vertical pupils appeared, like a deadly predator in the dark. Her eyes were full of primitive savagery and murderous intent. She sniffed with her bearded nose and stood in front of Sean without making a sound.

This position is just enough to protect two investigators.

Daisy is furious now.

Qin was killed at the exit of the sewer. Kerwill traced the traces on the ground and found only Qin's footprints. Xiao En was different from other investigators. He saw it directly and was not good at tracking traces.

At this time, heavy footsteps were heard outside.

It's Jason Tangel.

He looked at Xiao En solemnly and nodded slightly, meaning that with him around, the investigators could investigate the scene with confidence.

"Turn up the lights to full blast."

Xiao En gestured behind him, signaling Kwell to stop, and then he began to check the surroundings for traces. Qin had no power to resist when she was attacked, and there were only her footprints within a hundred meters at the scene, and no other traces were seen.

"It's impossible for someone to get so close without anyone noticing. Even if the assassin is invisible and moves in the shadows, it's impossible for him to get so far without leaving any trace."

The sewer in Dorne is very large. Logically, there is no need to build such a large sewer because there are not so many storms in Dorne's rainy season. It seems to be designed to cope with extreme weather under specific circumstances. According to Sean's calculations, it may be related to the ancient indescribable things.

After all, Dorne is next to Dagon, where natural disasters are more frequent.

"Look here!"

Sean looked up at the top of the sewer, his spiritual sense trembled slightly, and after concentrating, he seemed to have discovered something and called out to Kwell who was standing beside him.

There were some shallow pits on the top of the sewer that looked scattered, but other than that there were no signs of anything unusual.

Kwell picked up the flashlight and shone it, frowning as he said, "It should have been left there recently."

"The enemy is crawling over here from above?"

Xiao En shone the light all the way along the top of the sewer and soon discovered a lot of slight traces. These were not normal human hand and footprints, but inconspicuous small dots scattered on both sides, about three meters apart.

His expression was solemn. He looked at Kerwill beside him and said slowly, "What do you think these traces were left by?"

Kvir frowned.

Following the traces above, he drew the same traces on the ground. He looked a little confused and murmured, "It's definitely not left by humans... It looks a bit like a giant bug!..."

Xiao En thought so too.

In an instant.

His inspiration trembled, and in a fleeting illusion, Sean saw a huge, black spider.

"It's a spider!"

"No, it's a woman with a body growing on a spider!... It's the mistress!... It's really her!..." Xiao En opened his eyes instantly.

Top of the sewer.

All traces were visible in his eyes. He could even imagine a huge black spider with the upper body of a charming woman fused to its head. She was climbing along the wall of the sewer, locking her prey with bloodthirsty eyes. She was invisible in the darkness, approaching silently little by little, and then suddenly appeared behind Qin and pierced Qin's back with a snake-shaped dagger that flashed with cold light.

"Madam?" Jason, who was standing behind them, changed his expression slightly when he heard Sean's words.

He was one of the people who hunted down the mistress.

But their last action was not smooth. The mistress has the ability to become invisible in the dark and can travel across the shadow space. It is already very difficult to hunt down a wanderer who can sneak and hide in the weird country. Moreover, the survivability of wanderers has always been the first echelon. They move silently and secretly, and can be completely invisible in the dark. If they also have the talent of "nine deaths and one escape", then the high-sequence wanderer is almost the same as the nine-life cat demon.

They can dodge a fatal attack by relying on their body's instinctive reaction.

This career path is always dancing on the edge of a knife, and those who survived are very difficult to deal with. In the last pursuit, the mistress finally managed to escape.

Even though Jason and his crew brought the holy relic, they still failed to capture the invisible dark elf.

After changing her racial template, the mistress's physical fitness far exceeds that of human transcendents.

The invisibility ability of the Wanderer's Path is stronger than the wizard's invisibility spell. Sean still has footsteps and traces of his movements, while the Wanderer leaves almost no trace.

"She doesn't even seem to be in human form anymore."

Xiao En's spiritual spark was shining, and he said in a deep voice: "Her lower body has turned into a hideous giant spider. She may be about to lose control."

That was the scene Sean saw during his last vision.

But that time, it was only under spiritual vision that the mistress's lower body merged with a giant black spider, and now even in the real world, her lower body has turned into a giant black spider.

This is getting out of control, maybe already halfway out of control.

"Notify the Death Patrolmen who are still in Dorne to gather immediately! Recall the other Night Watchmen who are on duty and on leave!"

Jason's expression was serious as he gave orders to the others.

A possibly high-level out-of-control being, Shadow Sequence, half human, half spider, who can easily sneak attack and assassinate an investigator of the Ranger Path. This is already a very dangerous monster.

As long as the extraordinary people lose control, their power will run wild. The mistress’s current strength will only be stronger than before.

"Don't go into the sewer yet."

"We'll act at daybreak."

Jason glanced at Sean and Kvir, took out a special emblem and handed it to William, saying, "William, go and apply for the use of Relic No. 23 [Eye of Truth] immediately."

A completely invisible out of control character, without relics they are very passive.

Only Xiao En can see through the invisible enemies here.

"She has now turned into a half-human, half-spider monster. She should be able to hide in the sewers."

"Qin may have found traces of her, and was killed by this monster."

Wanderers also have their own flaws, that is, they can only be invisible in the shadows. In the sun, they can only sneak quietly and make people not notice their existence. If the mistress was active in public, she should have been discovered long ago with her current half-human, half-spider appearance.

Xiao En seemed to have thought of something and said in a deep voice: "Flamethrower!"

"Have someone prepare the flamethrowers!"

"She may now have the ability to control snakes, insects, rats and ants."

There are many strong fighters among the Night's Watch, but most of them are pure melee fighters. If they encounter a large group of snakes, insects, rats and ants, it is unrealistic to let them kill them one by one. It is best to use a flamethrower to resolve the battle.

Jason nodded immediately and said, "Let someone prepare it."

"Notify the police and seal off the entrances and exits of the surrounding areas."

The sky is bright.

The park area has been blocked off all around. Dorne seems to have entered a turbulent period. In the past few months, supernatural events have broken out in the market area and the old city area. Today, the park area was suddenly blocked off again. For a while, the entire city was in a panic, and it seemed that the development of the situation could not be suppressed.

"The enemy obviously came prepared."

Xiao En stared at the dark entrance of the sewer and thought to himself, "But what are they doing this for? Just to disrupt the order of the real world?"

The advent of illusion in the market area, the dark blood sacrifice in the old city, and the murder of the investigator this time.

His intuition told Sean that it was as if there was an invisible black hand controlling all of this. They were targeting the Night Watch, and their behavior was organized. Behind the scenes was a group of very powerful and dangerous enemies.

7:20 AM.

Sean saw Benjamin, who looked exhausted. The captain seemed to have just returned from another place, and he was carrying a suitcase in his hand.

He walked silently to Qin's body, just took a look, slowly covered it with a white cloth, looked sad, and whispered: "Have you found any clues about the enemy?"

William nodded slightly, reached out to take the captain's black suitcase and said, "Yes."

"It may be the work of the Matron. She has returned to Dorne."

Benjamin's eyes flashed with a strong murderous intent. He clenched his fists and said in silence for a moment, "You stay here. I'll go to the headquarters."

Sean stared at Benjamin's back with a hint of worry on his face.

Daisy quietly came to his side and whispered, "The captain is a little bit strange today."

Xiao En moved in confusion, looked at Benjamin's back, pondered for a moment, and said softly: "The captain has been promoted."

"He is emotionally unstable at the moment."

When Captain Benjamin just came back, Sean had already sensed something unusual, because there was a dark and gloomy aura around Benjamin.

Benjamin's emotions had always been stable, and even under Sean's spiritual vision, there was hardly any abnormality on him. But this time when he came back, Benjamin was shrouded in a deep and dark aura, and even without taking off the confusion, Sean could feel a very strange power.

Just now he moved in confusion, and Sean saw a dark and gelatinous image reflected behind Benjamin, which was wriggling like mud, revealing a black and red asphalt-like color as it rolled.

At that moment, Sean thought of Loris. At the moment Loris died, her body exploded and gushed out filthy black mud. The black mud was very similar to the illusion reflected by Benjamin at this moment.

The only explanation at the moment is that Benjamin completed his next promotion during this trip.

Also because he had just been promoted, Benjamin showed a hint of abnormal pollution.

"Flesh? Trickery?"

Sean was unsure of Benjamin's current condition. After the extraordinary person completed the promotion and fusion of the next stage of extraordinary relics, his own condition would be a little unstable. As the extraordinary essence was digested, it would gradually return to normal.

"Benjamin seems to have a hint of raw magic in him."

"Does it have the ability to cast spells?"

Judging from the way Benjamin left, he should be going to apply for the use of the holy relics. Only a person with a very strong will can use the holy relics.

The side effects of strange objects will be smaller.

However, both the Holy Relics and the Sealed Objects have obvious side effects, and Sean currently does not have the authority to apply for the use of the Holy Relics.
