Chapter 618 617. Horcrux

   "According to the medical records of the hospital, Browning is close to 60 years old this year, but he looks very young. Although it can be explained by spending money on maintenance, it is more likely to be the influence of extraordinary power."

   Stone explained.

"Actually, Browning has never looked old since he was fifty years old and lived in this Rainstorm Villa, and he is still getting younger and younger, although he has been reclusive since then, and many of his former friends are not. It’s too communicative, but people are still finding it out somewhat.”

   "You mean, Browning may have touched part of the exotic pollution?"

  Shia is well aware that rejuvenation is rare, but not impossible.

After accepting extraordinary power, at least on the surface, human beings can temporarily achieve a state of eternal youth and immortality, but this appearance is accompanied by serious pollution. It can be said that beneath the bright exterior is a decaying interior , no different from monsters.

   Like the portrait of Dorian Gray, which looks youthful and beautiful, but is actually corrupted and withered.

   "There must be pollution left by Daoist Heming in this Rainstorm Villa. This pollution may be combined with the pollution brought by Master Byron, allowing Daoist Heming to return to this world again."

   Stone speculated.

"Browning entrusted me to find what was left by the real Daoist Heming in the mansion. I don't know if he just lived here and was exposed to pollution by accident, or he has already mastered some of the secrets. In short, he hopes that I can search the whole building. Mansion, find the secret buried here, but unfortunately I haven't made it yet, and he died."

   "He should just find that he will become young if he lives here, so he won't ask you to do more things when he has already found the heritage of Daoist Heming. That's totally unnecessary."

   Shia judges.

"really."

   Stone nodded, he thought so too.

"Is there a possibility that Daoist Heming left a part of his soul in something, thus bewitching Browning unknowingly, and keeping his youthful appearance for him, if Daoist Heming Bringing my own body closer to something like this increases his power?"

   Lu Kizuna said suddenly.

   "It's like, uh, Horcrux."

   He mentioned a concept in a certain children's literature, which divides the soul into several parts and injects them into objects. As long as all the objects are not destroyed, they can rely on the soul in the fragments to be resurrected.

   "That makes sense."

  Stone felt a sudden realization when he heard Lu Bian's words.

"Since Daoist Heming didn't really leave this world, but only transformed his own form, then if he is cautious enough, he will set up a clone or a backhand, which has the will and knowledge of Daoist Heming, which bewitches Bron Ning is also normal."

"That is to say, if we don't find the Horcrux that Daoist Heming is hiding here on the night of summoning the soul, then Byron will use Daoist Heming's remains to enhance the power of this patriarch, and we will all be taken away by strong pollution. reason."

   Shia speculated.

   This is by far the most likely to happen.

   "Fortunately, Master Byron hasn't come for a while?"

   Lu Han sighed with emotion.

   "There are two possibilities. Byron knows what is a Horcrux in Stormwind Villa, and he will cause pollution to spill over, or he doesn't know what a Horcrux is, and needs to look for it as we do."

  Stone offered his opinion.

   "According to the situation of the mission, I think the latter is more likely. Otherwise, as long as he arrives in the past two days, Daoist Heming will be resurrected."

   "There is also a possibility that as long as the thing is near the wreckage of Daoist Heming for a certain period of time, such as nine days, it will be absorbed by Daoist Heming's will."

   Lu Bian added, and he had another whim.

   "If we get rid of Byron halfway and take away the remains he is carrying, will we be able to complete the mission quickly?"

  “???”

   Stone glanced at Lu Bian.

"good idea."

   Shia agrees.

   "No, wait a minute, is this how you usually complete tasks in the foreign land?"

   Stone choked on his cigarette, he asked.

   "Didn't you kill those doctors and call girls for your own purposes before, why are you not willing to do it now?"

   Shia looked at Stone in confusion.

   "I have repented!"

  Stone was mentioned in the dark history, suddenly a little impatient.

"Also, I'm helping her get revenge. Murder is a means of destroying everything. Once someone kills someone, something irreversible will happen. We can't just rely on inference to kill Byron, maybe he's just a jerk, or I don't know anything about the remains of Daoist Heming."

   He presents a contradictory state. On the one hand, in order to achieve his own purpose, in order to help the call girl meet by chance, Stone brutally murdered those gang-related members.

   On the other hand, after so many years of growth, Stone also understood the meaning of murder, and he became "cowardly", just like the teenager who held his head and squatted on the arrogant bus that night.

   Of course, Lu Kian was also quite sure that if the other party threatened Stone's life, the detective would not hesitate to take action and smash the other party to ashes.

   "Okay, the problem now is that Byron may not come through normal channels, and we don't know when and how he will come. While waiting for his arrival, we can search the mansion."

  Lu Bian said, thought about it again, and added a few words.

   "Also, Browning's family, I don't think they are completely ignorant or unconcerned about this place. They may also use various means to explore the heritage of Daoist Heming."

  According to Lu Kian's experience, there will be no irrelevant characters in this kind of mission. Browning's children, his business partners, including the lover, must have a meaning to exist.

   I not only have to fight against the disciples of Daoist Heming, but also against these Browning family members.

   After all, if they know that there is the heritage of Daoist Heming here, maybe they will also be wicked and greedy, and try to murder Lu Bian and others.

   Moreover, if Daoist Heming can deceive Browning, he may not be able to deceive his family.

   Thinking of this, Lu Bian had an idea.

   "Since you are a detective and you have accepted Browning's commission, then we may be able to use the name of investigation to learn about Browning's usual movements and see what he will come into contact with to find clues."

   "That's exactly what I planned."

  Stone stood up.

   At this moment, a panicked scream came from outside the house.

   That scream was heart-wrenching, as if seeing the most terrifying thing in the world.

   Lu Kizuna rushed out of the restaurant.
