Chapter 643 Common Ground On the street with "Zilicasco" written in Tutankhamun, Lumian led Camus and other patrol members into an apartment built with dark black stone and brown trees. As soon as he pushed open the door of Bram's room, Camus and the others smelled the smell of burning and blood quietly floating in the air. They then saw broken body parts scattered all over the ground, blood and flesh on the walls, and bloody hand prints and burn marks everywhere. Camus' eyes froze, as if he had returned to the scene of the serial murders. And this feels more destructive. Camus tilted his head and stared at Lumian for two seconds. Although he could already guess the answer, he still asked habitually: "Where is that man's body?" Lumian pointed at the corpses and pieces of meat and replied with a smile: "all these are." Camus was silent for a moment, then motioned to his two stunned teammates to check the scene.

He had promised them a share of the bounty and made them witnesses of his "merit". ——Camus did not come alone because he was worried that this was a trap set by Louis Berry, an assassination attempt on the patrol team members by secret organizations such as the "School of the Rose". When you are in the Southern Continent, you must be vigilant! Camus then walked to the cupboard and cast his eyes on the lips soaked in preservatives, recalling the tragic conditions of the victims in his mind. After a brief silence, he heard Louis Berry say calmly: "Pram is a member of the demon family Andrellad. He was sent by the Rose School to gather intelligence in the Port of Paros and to solve the serial murder case. His uncle Devaho was in charge of contacting him, but they did not actually meet. They just put the information they obtained in the form of documents in the study of the empty house at 17 Alegre Street..." This... Camus and others were shocked at first, and then they became extremely confused. How does Louis Berry know so much? Camus couldn't help but look at the scattered body parts, the bloodstains on the wall, the bloody handprints on the ground, and various charred marks. Finally, his eyes fixed on Lumian's face. The corners of Lumian's mouth curled up slightly, and he smiled warmly in response. Camus and his two companions looked at each other and did not ask whether Louis Berry had obtained the information through "psychic communication" or torture, or whether he had grasped Bram's purpose from the beginning. He targeted the serial killer not because he was committing crimes. "This information is very important." Camus nodded slightly and pointed to the obviously damaged six-barreled machine gun in the room. "Bram's weapons need to be left to us." "No problem," Lumian replied without caring at all. As an "arsonist", he does not have much need for hot weapons. The power of a continuous fireball is far stronger than the strafing of a six-barreled machine gun, but the speed is not as fast. ………… Next to the Resurrection Square, on Kania Street, on the second floor of the four-story house where the patrol team lived. Camus placed the files and related items in several brown paper bags on the table in front of Lumian and repeatedly reminded him: “You can only look at and record, you cannot take it away or damage it.” Lumian nodded slightly, picked up one of the file bags, pulled the thread, twisted it a few times, and opened it.

He was not in a hurry to see what items were there. He took out the file and read it carefully. This thick file records in detail the identities, origins, possible routes of death, places of death, on-site conditions of the seven victims, as well as various speculations and investigations made by the patrol team. It can be clearly seen that when victims continued to appear, the patrol team investigated very seriously and carried out different actions every day. In the later stage, when the serial murder case seemed to have ended and there were no new clues, they began to slack off, no longer frequently studying the case, and no longer conducting large-scale visits. After half a year, the corresponding investigation completely stagnated and the file ended here. In the final report, the deputy captain of the patrol team in charge of the matter concluded: "This is a typical serial murder case caused by a 'demon' path. Although 'serial killers' rarely kill only seven people, because more victims can better please the corresponding demon and meet the needs of the ritual, the victims this time are all extraordinary people, including some of the middle sequence. Even if only seven people died, they would be more favored by the demons than fourteen or even twenty-one ordinary people, and would please them more. “The biggest problem with this occult case is that, apart from being extraordinary people, there is nothing in common between the seven victims. This is somewhat different from previous serial murder cases. "Our guess is that the seven victims were all Beyonders, and were active in West Balam. They must have killed people in some way, which can be considered a kind of depravity..." Lumian read it carefully and agreed with the speculation that seven extraordinary people were better than fourteen ordinary people in the ritual to please the devil. This was something he had known for a long time. After all, ordinary people were only the third best sacrifices, and creatures with extraordinary characteristics were the second best. Similar situations also manifest themselves in certain "roles", especially those that require feedback, just as seeing through the conspiracy of an angel will obviously help Lumian digest the potion more easily than seeing through the conspiracy of an ordinary person. After gaining a general understanding of the entire serial murder case, Lumian sorted out the information of the seven extraordinary people in turn, combined with Anthony's psychological profile of "Ciso", Franca's summary of the character prototype and speculation about the actor, to find possible common points. The seven extraordinary people included both men and women. Some were subordinates of General Queralil, some were believers of the "God of Death" who lived in seclusion in the port of Paros, some were foreign adventurers, some were spies of the Intis Republic left in Matanibong, some were peripheral members of the "Rose School", and some were local clergy of the "God of Steam and Machinery" Church. In terms of identity and origin, they really have nothing in common. But for Lumian, who reads with subjective conjecture, some details will reveal more aspects: The seven victims were all very young. Although the oldest one was only in his early thirties, he was generally praised by people around him for his excellent fighting talent and outstanding mind, and he was bound to become a famous adventurer in the future. "Are the targets Extraordinary People who are young, have potential, and have grown to a certain level? Even the two who are not too young have labels such as being famous, strong, and having unlimited futures..." Lumian muttered to himself silently for a few words, and had a general grasp of "Hisoka's" selection criteria. If Franca were present, she would definitely say that this was consistent with the behavioral characteristics of the prototype character, and that guy was truly a dedicated actor and avid fan. However, Lumian believes that "Hisoka" will only try to stick to the original character when he has a choice, and will not affect his true purpose for the sake of acting. Sometimes, he may even use this acting to mislead others - the reason Lumian thinks so is because the "mad woman" commented that "Hisoka" was not pure enough. "Judging from the selection criteria, Louis Berry fits Hisoka's hobby of killing people..." Lumian said "tsk" to himself and took out items related to the case from the other briefcases. Most of these items were relics of the victims, and the only ones that did not fall into this category were seven thin pieces of tinfoil stained with dark brown stuff. According to the case file, they were packaging of a locally produced chocolate, left at every crime scene. It was suspected that the murderer would peel off the thin tin foil and eat a piece of chocolate before starting to dissect the body after the murder. Because the serial killer took out the chocolate with his gloved hands and put it into his mouth, there was no corresponding trace left on the thin tinfoil. This kind of simply packaged chocolate is a very common commodity in Matani State, which has a large number of cocoa plantations. Many stores sell it, so it is impossible to use this to track the target. Lumian looked at the thin sheets of tinfoil for a while, raised his head, and smiled at Camus who was supervising him: "Can I take two or three?" Camus, with his fluffy brown hair, frowned: "If you want to 'divine' or use other extraordinary methods, you can do it here." “Just take two. It won’t affect your future investigations.” Lumian said in a bewitching tone, “If you agree to help, I will pay you a little extra, such as a very useful spell to summon spirit creatures.” Camus was silent for a while and then said: "make a deal."

…… A quarter of an hour later, Camus, who had taken Lumian outside to buy some chocolate, looked blankly at a rabbit-shaped spirit creature holding a fountain pen and quickly copying the files. After nearly a minute, Camus looked at Lumian, who was sitting leisurely beside him, peeling off the thin tin foil and putting a piece of dark brown chocolate into his mouth, and asked in a deep voice: "Is this the very useful spiritual creature you mentioned?" "Yes, it's one of the 'Knowledge Rabbits'. It can help you get rid of the heavy copying work." Lumian replied with a smile while chewing the fragrant chocolate. What do I need a copying tool for? Camus roared in his heart, but when he thought of the bounty for the serial murder case and the bloody scene of Bram's death, he controlled himself. Lumian smiled and added: "When you don't want others to know which words you wrote, you can call on the 'Knowledge Rabbit' for help. "Moreover, this is a growing spiritual creature. It will develop in the direction you give it knowledge. Of course, it would be best if you could find a way to sign a contract with spiritual creatures. Otherwise, the 'rabbit of knowledge' you summon each time will most likely not be the same one, and you will not be able to train it." "Developmental..." Camus repeated the word, his expression gradually relaxing. ………… Back at the Aurela Hotel, Lumian took the two old sheets of thin tinfoil out of his pocket and handed one to Ludwig. "Try it." He said with a smile. (End of this chapter)
