Chapter 109: The Hunter
The contents of this record, written by the priest himself, are very cumbersome.
In addition to the big and small things that happen in the town every day, and the mysterious people who come and go in and out of the area, there are even reports on the operation and material management within the church.
It took some time for Ronald to sort out the details about the matter.
- First of all, the beginning of events.
Unlike Brunwich, Selephas's big trouble came the day after the mysterious energy erupted.
Early in the morning.
At that time, the fishing boat that had gone out to sea to catch the fish had finished its work, and the fisherman had just returned to the dock with the fishing boat. However, one family of the fishing boats that had returned home was slow to leave the boat.
The result is simple, the fisherman's family has been killed.
It's a pity that no one noticed this situation at the time.
The smell of the boats, which caught a large number of marine fish, was so strong and so much work that no one noticed the smell of blood at the time.
As time passed, its fishermen gradually took care of today's harvest.
Then, it was not until near noon that people who were familiar with the victim noticed that there were few people and went to check on them.
After entering the fishing boat at the pier, the fishermen found that the family of three had all died inside the cabin of the fishing boat.
The specific situation at the scene is quite tragic.
The bodies of the three victims all had very large laceration wounds that were very visible.
At the same time, the internal organs of each corpse were completely hollowed out, but the rest of the flesh and blood were not moved at all.
Faced with such a terrifying scene, the fishermen present instantly thought of a local horror legend.
- Hunter.
This creature is said to be a terrifying monster that lives in the deep sea and feeds on human entrails. Their skin is covered with scales that are extremely hard, their swords are invulnerable, their strength is immense, and they are very agile in the water.
They rarely come ashore when they live in the sea, and once humans see these things, they basically mean that they become hunting targets for hunters.
This legendary monster is too terrifying for a small village dominated by fishing.
The consequences of everyone's self-endangerment can be imagined.
So on that day, the atmosphere in the town started to look wrong.
Fortunately, the priest stationed here is highly capable enough, and he understands that the hunter is a fictional legend that does not exist, and after confirming the body as the only priest in the village, he is sure that this is a crime committed by the mysterious side.
- And then there's the question of how to deal with it.
Due to his own lack of ability, the priest knew that he could not handle such an emergency.
So contact Bromwich immediately and have a professional investigator solve the problem.
Common sense.
That's the end of it.
Because of the special situation in the city of Brunwich, Willard, who was on duty in the bureau at the time, decisively decided to take matters into his own hands, hoping to deal with the matter of Seleface and return to the city in the shortest possible time.
As a key member of the Bronwich Bureau of Investigation.
He has this self-confidence, and he has this ability.
To be on the safe side, leaving a message in the hands of Ronald at the front desk, Willard simply set off for Selephas, a town no more than 10 kilometers away, counting the round-trip time, his actual expected working time is no more than half a day.
- The end result was unexpected.
After coming to Selephas, the three investigators quickly locked down the identity information of the murderer with their outstanding business ability, and then directly raided the door.
As a result, in the process of arresting the criminal, this guy accidentally ran away!
Over the next two days, the man who devoured human entrails to strengthen himself increased the pace of slaughtering innocents, while also showing a high level of ability to respond to the investigators' pursuit.
Things are getting worse and the situation is getting out of hand.
Until last night, Willard decided to take the other two investigators out to sea to set traps and fight in the environment they were most familiar with, considering the current situation.
Time was too tight for the investigators.
As a result, they did not return until noon today.
Honestly –
At that time, the priest who was sitting in the church reading a book was actually forcibly looking for something to settle down.
Otherwise, the thought of the three investigators having been gone for nearly twenty hours and not returning.
His emotions would break through the tipping point of tension and fear in an instant.
In case of......
He's saying just in case, the three investigators are also killed by that guy.
As the overseer of the church, I will definitely die for now, and God knows how much trouble will arise in this town!
Completely losing the control of the power of the mysterious side, this guy who killed the head has absolutely no reason to show mercy.
As a result, thinking about the worst side, perhaps the most vicious case in the past ten years is about to appear in this town!
After reading the materials, Ronald walked over to the priest and put down the papers.
Under the light, the young clergyman was slowly writing words.
Beautiful fonts are clearly practiced specifically.
Since Ronald could read the human characters of this world, he could also understand what the priest was writing now.
It's still a work log.
This is the part that the priest wrote after Ronald and Nicole appeared, and when Willard returned to the church with the prisoners.
Even at the end, he marked his opinion on the matter.
- Without the common people realizing it, Seleface survived a catastrophe.
No one will be accidentally killed after that.
As a priest, as long as he uses his identity to guide the thoughts of the villagers, he can gradually get the situation back on track.
After all, the prisoner has already been caught.
“......”
Ronald watched the other man's work in silence.
It was only when the priest had finished writing his report that he spoke:
"I'll handle the finishing touches after that."
"You have a good rest here, I'll bring the news back when I'm done."
"Huh?" The priest looked up at Ronald with a puzzled look in his eyes, "Mr. Ronald has just come to Selephas, right?" ”
"You really don't need me to lead the way."
Ronald nodded:
"I'm also an investigator anyway, so there's no problem."
Before the other two investigators left, they had already told them about the location of their fight with the prisoner.
Ronald just needs to go over and clean up the traces of the battle to make sure that nothing is left behind on the mysterious side and then be touched by ordinary people.
Like Mr. Willard said when he left, it's very simple work.
“......”
Looking at Ronald in silence, the priest thought for a few seconds and then gave Ronald a grateful smile:
"In that case, please Mr. Ronald."
"To be honest, I've been on high-intensity alert for the past few days, and I'm really tired."
