Demon Sage

v2 Chapter 138: It's about the soul

Tracer powder, as an alchemical product, is useless to most people. ◢Щщш.sUimEnG.lā

But the possessor of this ability of spiritual vision is not unique.

Donald obtained this ability through demons, and others could rely on talent potions or some alchemical potions that took effect in a short period of time to obtain this ability.

"I have already contacted the Irregularity Bureau. As expected, there is not much stock in the warehouse of this kind of extraordinary supplies, but they said they will send someone to send all the tracing powder as soon as possible. It seems that the Irving Bureau values ​​the Owen family very much. In the past, asking them to take something was a pushback, but today I said it was to find the murderer who attacked Connery Irving, and I nodded and agreed without saying a word.”

Putting down the receiver in her hand, folded her hands on the table to prop her chin, Susanna's eyes swept across the faces of the people in front one by one, and finally stayed on Horn again.

He was standing at the window, looking at the snow outside, frowning, as if thinking of something.

Recently, his condescending style has been restrained a lot, and the stupidity that he didn't care about before has disappeared from him.

"It's right to pay attention, even though the villa is so big and the interior decoration is just average, that's because Connery Owen is an extremely simple person, and the actual status of the Owen family in Demingham should belong to the first class, itself. He also has a close relationship with the police department. If this matter is not handled properly, it is easy for some gossip to come out of the police department. The embarrassing thing is that we have to know that the government's funding for us has almost exceeded the police department. , and we don't have half of them."

Boglo is standing in front of an old-looking glass case containing some delicate sculptures.

Most of them are ceramic objects, which are worthless and are placed here purely for beauty.

He seems to know a lot of the inside story of the Alien Bureau.

After all, he was an investigator before.

"Where's the Donald?"

Stephanie was fiddling with a bunch of fake flowers in the house, and looked up to find that Donald left the house at some point, and Lilo and Finger were not there either.

"It seems that I went out, and I didn't say where to go. It should be in the yard."

Pence was always quick to answer Stephanie's questions.

It's just that Donald was not in the yard as he said, but in the room where the body was temporarily stored.

This is a guest room in the villa, usually used for some guests to live in, but now it has become a temporary morgue.

Shirley Owen was placed on the bed, her cause of death was a fractured spine, shattering, although the flesh was still connected, it looked normal, but it was only in the state of the bed, it might take two people to lift her up. .

As for the other corpses, they were concentrated in the next room, which was the spontaneous behavior of the servants.

Even in death, the identity is still there.

In fact, according to the rules of this era, if there is a murder case among civilians, in order to facilitate the inspection of the body and arrest the murderer, the body of the deceased is generally not selected to be buried.

But Shirley Owen had a different identity after all. As long as Connery Owen nodded, a special mortuary would immediately come to treat the wounds of the corpse, restore her to her original state, and put her in a coffin carved from expensive fragrant wood.

Even the Discord Bureau can't stop this behavior, because this is the dignity that a noble lady should have, and it is also the last dignity.

However, Connery Owen's response to this was: do it your way, and if you feel there is no information on the body, then notify someone to clean it up.

"Lilo, can you confirm what you just said?"

Donald looked at the serene lady on the bed, and had to admit, she was a very beautiful lady.

Before, he and Horn partnered to check the wounds of the corpse, but there was no gain, but Lilo could only tell Donald what she found in her mind because she could not speak the common language of mankind for the time being.

At that time, because there were some servants in the villa next to him, Donald did not speak.

And what Lilo said seemed a bit sensational to him.

The reason why he left when everyone was gathered was because he wanted to sneak over to confirm.

"I can feel that the soul in her body has completely disappeared."

Lilo held a ball of thin ice in her hand, which she grabbed from the railing outside, and she never let go, watching them slowly melt away in her hands along the way.

And her words made Donald lean back against the door frame somewhat resignedly, with his left foot hunched against the deep stone wall.

Does the soul disappear immediately after a person dies?

This is not the case, if it is, then there will not be so many ghosts and resentful spirits in this world.

If the soul is not affected, it will probably gradually disappear in the next period of time. This time will not be long, that is, half a day. When the time is up, the soul will enter the underworld. At that time, you may have to rely on Liluo to summon the soul. The means of the former parents.

And the soul of this Mrs. Owen disappeared a bit fast and completely!

In fact, if they arrive an hour or two late, and see the corpse an hour or two later, the disappearance of the soul is excusable.

In other words, without the existence of Lilo, a high-level undead, even if Donald arrived on the spot, he would not have found this information, because any knowledge about the soul belongs to the most obscure and dark part of the wizarding school. It can be seen that the number of wizards majoring in the school of necromancy has always been very small.

Of course, there is also the reason why they kill themselves all day long, but it is more because to achieve a certain level in this area, it is bound to require a strong talent.

But some things are not if, Donald came very early, and there happened to be a high-level undead next to him.

This is a fact, even if there is a high-level undead around him all day long, it is a fact.

Walking into the room, the fleece blanket on the floor was very soft. When Lilo came in, Donald reached out and closed the room.

"Can you confirm what caused her soul to suddenly disappear?"

There must be a reason for anything abnormal, and now is the stage to find the murderer, and Donald doesn't want to miss the clue.

"Try it."

Lilo stood on the edge of the bed, raised her hand on top of Shirley Owen's head, and the gray-white energy in her palm extended out, touching her head, and did not enter.

Donald looked around, wondering if it was an illusion, he suddenly felt that the light in the room suddenly dimmed a lot.

The shadows beside the bed seemed to be drawn deeper and deeper.

"Soul extraction."

Lilo spit out a noun, and Donald's brows furrowed.

"Soul extraction? Here?"

Subconsciously repeated it in the mouth in the common language of mankind, chewing the meaning, Donald then said,

"Someone took Ms. Shirley Owen's soul from her body? But from the time she was stabbed to the time we looked at the body 20 minutes ago, the room had not been opened except when the body was moved in under police supervision. Others have come in."

While saying this, Donald's eyes swept across the room, observing with spiritual vision. There is no secret door that can hide people, and there is no trace of any sacrifice ceremony around. He turned to look at the window on the side, It is large in size, and takes two steps forward, without opening the window, just looking at the window frame through the glass, without any marks.

Who took Shirley Owen's soul, or why?

Since it is an assassination, it is enough to destroy her physically and let her soul disappear automatically over time. Why do you want to do this for a few hours?

"Lilo, let me make an assumption. If her soul remains in her body, what can it be used for?"

Leaning against the window, Donald asked.

“can eat”

Lilo's response made Donald cover his face, thinking that it was no use asking, and immediately left the room. By asking the servants in the villa, he found a room with a telephone.

He didn't go to the room where Rose Squad is now.

Beep ~ click.

"Hey?"

Delia answered the phone very quickly.

"It's me, I have a question I want to ask, if a person dies, her soul is in the body, what can it be used for?"

The same question, Donald's fingers tapped lightly on the table.

"What kind of role do you mean? Soul extraction for sacrifice or"

On the other side there was the sound of a blade hitting the chopping board, it was lunchtime now.

I haven't eaten Anthony's food for a long time~

"I mean information exploration, yes, this is it, can we know some information through the soul?"

Reluctantly pulled his mind back from Anthony's food, he asked in a low voice.

"Of course it is possible. In the book "Soul Dialogue" by the Zebra wizard, it is mentioned that a variety of rituals and spells can do this~lightnovelpub.net~ This is not difficult, if it is aimed at ordinary people, As long as I am prepared, even I can do it. Of course, it is limited to a few hours after a person's death. After time, the soul changes back into the underworld. By then, unless you can communicate with the **** of death, you should not know That joke between wizards, do you have anything else to ask?"

Delia seemed to be in a good mood, and she could clearly feel her lightness while speaking.

"Donald, where are you? The tracking powder is here!"

Donald was about to ask what the wizard joke was when Stephanie called from outside the door.

"Nothing more to ask, bye."

"Wait, that message of yours has been reluctantly confirmed with the mixed fruit you provided, as well as the message of the Holy Maiden, the Arboretum is very satisfied with you and will definitely reward you, the things have been delivered to me. , come and take a look when you are free, as for what it is, I will sell it first, goodbye."

"understood."

Hanging up the phone, Donald thought about the soul in Delia's previous words and left the room.
