Discovering that the power of the abyss had come to the world of Velen a long time ago, Leo decided to investigate, not only because he was wary of the power of the abyss, but also out of curiosity.

Because when he came into contact with the world invaded by the power of the abyss before, he felt that the power of the abyss was pervasive and extremely contagious. It spread to the entire world in a short time like a plague, dragging the entire world into destruction.

The abyss, even the royal city that is said to be protected by the gods, is no exception.

But the power of the abyss had clearly entered the world of Velen a long time ago, but there were no signs of destruction in the world of Velen. At least Leo saw no signs of destruction, so his curiosity made him want to know the reason.

However, before Leo could go to the black market to investigate the origin of the ancient scrolls, other troubles arose, diverting his energy to other places.

"What's the strange way to die?" Leo looked at Jason with a sad face and asked in a deep voice: "What's so strange?"

In the evening, Leo changed his clothes and was about to go to the black market again, but Jason came to his apartment worriedly and asked him to help with a matter.

This matter is very simple, help investigate the cause of death of one of his men.

"It's hard to describe." Jason recalled the scene he saw before in his mind, and his face became a lot uglier. He shook his head slightly and said: "Maybe it is similar to what we encountered in Cage City?

"

"Come on, let me go take a look." Leo put on his coat and motioned to Jason.

Jason realized it first, led Leo into the carriage, and gave instructions. Maybe he had something on his mind, so he didn't say anything more. He just lowered his head and thought about it, and Leo didn't ask.

The two of them were silent all the way, and soon arrived at a residential community in a slum area.

The slum area is the second largest urban area after the Garden Cemetery. This area is connected to the dock area, factory area and commercial area. People living here also choose to live in slum areas in different locations because of their work areas.

Over time, the slums formed three urban areas.

The slum area where Leo and Jason arrived now is close to the dock. The main residents are porters at the dock and some local sailors. This is also the most mixed place among all the slums, because almost all poor people from abroad are from abroad.

Refugees will initially choose to live here, and may even live there for a long time.

The carriage stopped in front of a very dilapidated apartment building. As soon as the carriage stopped, a group of poor children gathered around him. After Jason got off the car, he took out a bag of change, handed it to the coachman, and ordered him

He handed it to these poor children, and then led Leo into one of the dilapidated apartments, and soon arrived outside the attic on the top floor of the apartment.

This apartment should be a temporary residence built after the tsunami. This small apartment building was only temporarily provided for civilians in the city to live in. There was no thought of long-term preservation, so the main structure of the building is mainly made of wood.

, there are no reinforcement measures. But what people didn’t expect is that this apartment building has existed for such a long time, and there are always people living in it. Therefore, this apartment building has a lot of damage to the main structure.

In the short period of ten seconds when Leo walked from downstairs to upstairs, he sensed through the mental network that there were at least twenty main damages in this apartment building. It has to be said that this apartment building is still standing.

Well, it's a miracle.

At this time, some dock porters gathered at the door outside the room on the top floor of the attic, chatting in confusion. When they saw Jason coming, they immediately stopped talking and stood respectfully on both sides of the aisle to get out of the way for Jason.

A road, and looked towards Leo from time to time.

"How's it going inside?" Jason nodded to the porters, then walked to the door, opened the door, and asked the men next to him.

"Staying the same as before." The subordinate replied cautiously: "Someone came to his house, and I sent him away for the time being. He will come back later."

Seeing Jason walk in, the subordinate hesitated for a moment, with a look of fear on his face, and finally followed Leo in.

The room is not big, just like other low-cost apartment buildings, it is an independent room. Then the residents can use wooden boards to divide the room into several small rooms according to their own needs.

Judging from the furnishings in the room, the owner of the room is a very self-disciplined person, and all items are arranged neatly and neatly.

Although the window in the room has been open for some time, a thick smell of blood still fills the entire room, making people who smell it for the first time feel a little nauseous.

Jason led Leo directly into the compartment inside. This compartment was the bedroom divided by wooden boards by the owner of the room.

The bedroom is very simple, just a bed and a bedside table for putting clothes. The scene inside can be seen clearly after entering the door.

I saw that the walls of the bedroom were covered with blood, as if they were painted with a layer of blood-colored paint. The owner of the room was kneeling in front of the bedside table. The skin on his body had been peeled off, and it was very complete and as neat as clothes.

were stacked together and placed on the bed. There was a wooden statue of a god placed on the bedside table. This wooden statue was very old and badly damaged, and the original appearance of the wooden statue could no longer be seen clearly.

Leo had already made a judgment when he saw the scene in front of him. There was no doubt that the blood on the wall and the human skin neatly stacked on the bed were the work of the victim kneeling on the ground. He first separated the blood, smeared the wall, and then

Then peel off the human skin, then kneel in front of the wooden statue, and slowly wait for death.

"He was from the Seventh Army and also participated in that battle. Although he was poisoned, he was lucky enough to save his life. However, his body and eyes were poisoned." Jason introduced the identity of the deceased and turned to the side.

Seeing the ugly expression of his subordinate, Tou frowned, waved his hand to signal him to retreat, and then continued to introduce: "I have used the resources at hand to recruit many disabled veterans, and he is one of them.

One, it’s just that his body is not suitable for some labor, so I just hired him to do some simple things. Three days ago, he suddenly received a sum of money from his colleagues and then stopped working at the dock. His colleagues felt

Something was wrong, so I came here to look for him, and then I saw this scene."

"He didn't call the police, but came to you first?" Leo turned around and asked.

Jason explained: "The person who found out that the person at the scene was one of my capable men. He knew that I was recently competing for the position of the person in charge of the freight terminal. He was worried that I would be adversely affected by this incident, so he first approached me to handle this matter.

thing."

Leo said coldly: "I'm afraid he is afraid that he will become a suspect, so he dragged you in and used him as a shield!"

Jason smiled and didn't respond.

Leo didn't say anything else. He checked the room with his eyes and mind network several times, then turned around and walked back to the living room, asking, "Has the deceased done anything unusual recently?"

Jason shook his head, indicating that he was unclear, and then he handed over the previous subordinate and told Leo's question just now.

"There's nothing special about him..." The man shook his head, but soon thought of something, and quickly changed his mind and said: "By the way, there is something very strange. When he borrowed money from me,

He said that he had found a way to heal his eyes and body, and he looked like he was sure about it. I didn't think much about it at the time. He had also borrowed money from me before, and he paid it back as soon as he had the money.

He had never defaulted on it and his credit was very good, so I lent it to him without asking anything."

"That's all?" Jason frowned and asked.

"That's all." The subordinate thought carefully and did not give any more clues, but he still added: "He has a good relationship with the cripple in the third warehouse. Maybe he told him something."

"Why don't you find someone quickly?" Jason shouted angrily.

The man immediately turned around and ran out.

Jason sighed, shook his head, and then turned to Leo and asked with concern: "Is this related to those things?"

Leo nodded without answering carefully.

In fact, when he was outside the door, Leo was already sure that this matter was related to extraordinary power. His mental network could clearly feel that there was a large amount of energy fluctuations that could be called negative energy remaining in the room. This energy

It emits an energy wave that makes people feel uncomfortable.

The reason why the man had the urge to vomit just now was not entirely because of the bloody scene in the room. After all, he was a battle-hardened warrior and was used to seeing all kinds of corpses. He should have adapted to such bloody scenes long ago.

, but he had such a strong feeling of vomiting because of the negative energy in that room.

Because of the power of his giant bloodline, Jason has a certain degree of immunity to this kind of energy fluctuation, and is almost unaffected.

However, what made Leo a little confused was that the source of these negative energies did not come from the wooden statue enshrined on the bedside table, but from the blood in the room.

"Blood magic!" When Leo sensed the negative energy emitting from the blood, Leo immediately thought of the blood magic of blood wizard Lawrence.

But he quickly shook his head and rejected this speculation. The blood wizard Lawrence is now very stable in the United Kingdom of France. He has sufficient experimental resources and does not need to risk going to the Kingdom of England to cause trouble.

The two waited in the room for a while, but Jason's men did not arrive. Instead, the police chief responsible for the security of this area of ​​the city and two men in black with indifferent expressions arrived.

When Leo saw these two men in black, he immediately thought of the Special Bureau operator named Nick Land whom he met a few nights ago. He also took a step back slightly and stood behind Jason's huge body.

Make the two of them look like Jason is the main one.

Before Jason could ask, the police sergeant immediately took the initiative to introduce: "Mr. Jason, these two are officers from the Special Bureau, sent by the above to deal with this crime."

"Special Bureau?" Jason was stunned. He had never heard of such a department.

At this time, one of the special bureau agents came forward, pushed away the sergeant, and said to Jason in a stiff tone: "You are Mr. Jason! We have left the matter here to us. I hope you leave."

From now on, forget what happened here."

With a look of displeasure on Jason's face, he walked up to the Special Bureau agent and said, "My workers died so tragically, but you told me to make me forget about it. What do you think..."

Jason didn't say anything anymore, because not only was the police chief in this area trying to hint at him, but also because of the eyes of this Special Bureau agent. I saw bursts of purple light blooming in this agent's eyes, and emitting

The inexplicable momentum made him feel inexplicably nervous.

"Hmph!" In the past, Jason might not have listened to the advice, and would have gone ahead and continued to fight with him, but now Jason has learned to compromise and be tactful, and he has learned that the Special Bureau agent in front of him is not an ordinary person.

, so he did not escalate the conflict, he just snorted coldly, motioned to Leo, and walked out the door.

After Jason gave up the conflict, the Special Bureau agent who confronted him showed confusion and surprise, and turned to look at Jason's tall figure at the door, with a thoughtful look on his face.

"What's wrong?" Another detective behind him asked after seeing his colleague's expression.

"I just used the Eye of Wind Erosion." The agent said solemnly.

"You used it? But nothing happened to him?" Another agent knew very well what effect his simultaneous ability had. He couldn't help but be stunned, turned to look at the door, showing a surprised look, and couldn't help but say:

"Is he also..."

"Ahem!" Before he could finish speaking at the same time, the detective coughed twice to stop his colleague from continuing and glanced at the police sergeant standing next to him.

"This place is under our supervision. You can leave now. In addition, disperse the people at the door. They won't be able to help, but will get in the way." The detective gave instructions to the police chief and said.

The sergeant wanted to leave a long time ago. The bloody smell here made him feel very uncomfortable. If there wasn't someone next to him, he would have vomited. Now after hearing the instructions from the special bureau agent, he was not willing to stay any longer.

, turned around and walked out of the room quickly. Not long after, he heard the sound of vomiting coming from the corridor, and then he remembered the angry roars.

The two special bureau agents ignored the situation outside. After closing the door, they walked into the bedroom inside. Seeing the bloody scene there, their expressions became serious. One of them said: "Which case is this?

Already?"
