Chapter 190: Identity of the Murderer
At this moment, Richard had an extremely clear feeling of being spied on. It's like there's another person like you, who's going out of the cabin to see you with your consciousness.
This......
Looking at the empty corner, Richard frowned. Without much thought, the No. 1 ring on his finger flashed slightly, and the "Pierce's Nerve Sensitivity Technique" was activated.
The hairs on the skin stand up, and the perception is fully strengthened, and the feeling of coming to the corner and peeping is already extremely obvious at this time.
The next moment, Richard was not polite, and reached out to find the crystal skull, aiming at the corner. The free energy elements in the Dharma Source in the body began to surge, ready to trigger the spiritual impact of the crystal skull to launch an attack on the invisible voyeur.
The rest of the attacks, Richard didn't think they were useful, but the Crystal Skull attack could definitely teach a lesson to the possible voyeurs.
After all, at that time, in the forest in the territory of the Emerald Kingdom, when the beast tide subsided, he went out to explore the secret room in the mountains where the crystal skull was hidden, but he was almost killed by the power of the crystal skull.
Richard thought so, his eyes sharp, and he was ready to attack, but the voyeuristic feeling from the corner suddenly disappeared and disappeared without a trace.
This......
Richard's eyes flickered, and he didn't let his guard down easily, and after thinking about it, he still released the spiritual impact of the crystal skull into the air. After finding that there was no reaction, he walked over tentatively, and repeatedly made sure that the feeling of being peeping was completely gone, and his heart was slightly relieved.
Was it a delusion, or was someone really peeping and just leaving in time?
Richard guessed in his mind, not sure that that idea was correct.
However, there was a little more vigilance in my heart, combined with the constant murder incidents on the giant ship, I couldn't help but guess that the feeling of voyeurism just now was probably from ...... The murderer of the murderer.
That...... Since the murderer was peeping inside the cabin, could it mean that something was done nearby.
Richard thought, turned and walked to the cabin door, opened the cabin door a slit, and squinted out into the hallway.
The corridor inside the night was quiet and empty, but ...... But there were three bodies.
Well, three corpses!
Richard raised his eyebrows, and his gaze fell on the three corpses not far from the hallway.
The three corpses were stacked on top of each other, looking like a lump, and the blood from the wounds had congealed, and it looked like they had been dead for a while. And underneath the corpse, on the wooden floor of the hallway, the congealed blood outlined a pattern, one that resembled a pentagram, as if it were performing an evil sacrificial ritual for which the corpse was the sacrifice.
This one......
Richard's gaze became serious, and he saw more details.
For example, the identity of the three corpses is no longer sailors, but students, which also shows that the killings have begun to escalate, and the hunting targets have shifted from sailors to students. It is worth mentioning that these three students are related to the sailors who died before - the other three are the people who have been following Potter and have been instructed to carry and dispose of the corpses.
"Killing someone of a specific identity? Is this a deliberate attempt by the murderer to make people connect the events before and after?The patterns added to the death scene are deliberately creating an atmosphere of more and more horror?" Richard thought quickly, "In that case...... Well, what's that?"
Richard blinked, and next to the corpse, he saw something inconspicuous.
"That seems to be ......"
Richard thought to himself, and he was about to walk over,
Raise the foot, and the center of gravity of the body is controlled to shift to the forefoot.
When you land, the weight of the body shifts to the back heel, the outer edge of the heel hits the ground first, and then as if rolling, the whole ball of the foot transitions to the ground in an orderly manner.
Lift your foot again, and your weight shifts.
Settle down again, and turn your weight back to ......
Step by step, Richard walked over, silently, like a black cat, and like a ghost.
Walking over to the corpse, Richard crouched down and looked at what he had seen earlier, and saw that it was a small pile of black powder that could easily be overlooked.
With a flip of his hand, he took out the glass bottle from the space iron ring, Richard carefully collected a part of the black powder, and then turned around, deliberately continuing to control his walking, quietly returning to the cabin, and closing the door.
As for the corpse in the corridor outside the cabin, Richard was not prepared to pay attention.
On the one hand, the corpse is obviously dead, and there is no need to treat it with kindness.
On the other hand, there is no point in shouting and reporting that someone is dead - sooner or later the body will be found, and naturally someone will do it. If you do it yourself, you will not only delay time, but you may also cause some unnecessary troubles -- if you find a corpse in the middle of the night, you must explain why you don't sleep in the middle of the night, right? It is inevitable that you will have to make up a lot of reasons, so why bother with this effort.
With this in mind, Richard sat back in the chair in front of the table, placed the glass bottle of black powder in his hand on the table, and looked at it carefully.
"This thing, I think I've seen it somewhere. Richard muttered to himself, "It seems to be ......"
The next moment, Richard's eyes narrowed slightly, his hand flipped over, and he took out a stored glass bottle from the spatial iron ring.
The glass bottle contains the exact same black powder, and the label attached to the glass bottle reads "Emerald Gold City-Gin Glass Inn-S Event-1".
The Golden City and the Gin Glass Hotel are the places where the black powder in the glass bottle was first collected.
S incident, is the code name, that is, the death of Wall, the third-level apprentice of the White Stone Tower, and he went to the scene of the death to investigate, and the black powder found there.
No. 1 is the serial number, and there are No. 2 and No. 3 products in the Space Iron Ring, both of which are the same black powder. Item 2, like Item 1, was found at the scene of Wall's death. And the No. 3 product was found in the place where the other party's body was twisted, blurred, and disappeared when he met the mysterious black-robed man later.
At that time, it was speculated that this black powder was somewhat related to the spell that the black-robed man's body blurred and disappeared, either because of the effect of the spell or as the material for releasing the spell.
And now, it's again.
Now there are only two explanations.
The first type: There was a person, that is, the murderer, who had the same ability as the black-robed man at the time, and used the same spell to come to the third cabin corridor below this deck, kill three students, and then leave, so he left the black powder at the scene.
The second type: the murderer is the original black-robed man!
Compared to the former, the latter is extremely likely!
After all, when he was in Emerald Gold City, Gro had said that someone was destroying the White Rock Tower, and the third-level apprentice Wall arrived in Emerald City in advance for the purpose of investigating, and then was killed.
Now, the other party has arrived on the ship and continues to kill, obviously carrying out the original goal, in order to complete the plan.
So......
"The previous speculation seems to be true. Richard's eyes flashed.
......
